Indian Prime Minister Shastri resolutely opposed the oil embargo imposed by the Gulf oil countries on India, and strongly stated that the war will continue until victory.

Then he turned around and got in touch with the UK through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expressing his concern about the oil embargo. The British presence in the Persian Gulf is still very high. New Delhi hopes that London can exert its influence on the Gulf countries and stop the oil embargo. luck happens.

"Just say that we will try our best, but there is no guarantee of success." After listening to Dixon's report, Alan Wilson replied with a smile on his face, "But this time really impressed me. Americans know that bombing is bombing every day in Vietnam. However, the ground forces did not attack north at all, and they were completely passive in responding in South Vietnam. Do you rely on the Air Force to succeed? At the critical moment, the Army still needs to solve the fundamental problem.”

The strategic bombing of Germany by the United Kingdom and the United States in World War II was actually far less effective than what it advertised. In fact, Germany was resisting the strategic bombing of the United Kingdom and the United States, pushing Germany's industrial level to the highest peak.

When did Germany's military industry plummet? It was January 1945. At that time, the Soviet Red Army launched the second half of the ten Stalinist assaults. Starting from the seventh assault, it had recovered all the land occupied by Germany. Ten times As a result of Stalin's assault, Germany's Romanian oil was cut off, Germany's military ports in the Baltic Sea were occupied, and Norway's iron ore routes were paralyzed, and the industrial base of East Prussia was already in flames of war.

This is what caused the German military industry to plummet, rather than the strategic bombing that has lasted for more than two years. The air force cannot replace the army in an all-out war, although air supremacy is very important.

"The Secretary-General looks at India with admiration? This is rare!" Dixon was very surprised, as if this was the first time he heard the supreme authority praise India when talking about the Indian issue.

"It's rare, but I'm telling the truth. There are not many countries that can fight large-scale wars, and there will be fewer and fewer countries in the future." Alan Wilson sighed, "Sooner or later you will understand."

In fact, to deal with large-scale wars, the design concept of Soviet-style weapons is more suitable, while American-style weapons are not suitable. Since the Gulf War, the cost of war for American-style weapons has increased. More and more countries using American weapons can no longer fight. Not to mention ordinary countries, Britain and France with a military expenditure of 50 to 60 billion, the Royal Navy has only six destroyers left, and an air raid on Libya wiped out the inventory, and the United States is needed for help.

Even in the 21st century, India can fight a war with hundreds of thousands of troops. Few countries in the world can do it. Not all big countries with great reputation are blown out. As long as you don’t compare with your neighbors in the north, Of course, India can proudly stand up in front of ordinary countries.

It's a pity that India's two neighbors also have this capability. Pakistan is just a little smaller. As for the other, it is also a country that is good at land warfare.

Although it may not be as oppressive as the Soviet Union at the beginning, it will be invincible to the world decades later.

Compared to bombing in Vietnam, Alan Wilson still likes this kind of ground war with each other, and his blood boils when he looks at it. Unlike the civil war between the Slavic brothers, one defends the city and the other plows the land with heavy artillery. What is this? This is how trench warfare was fought on the Western Front during World War I.

India's weapons and equipment are still dominated by British centurions and victory tanks. Among them, there are not many victory tanks, accounting for only one-fifth of the 17 British armored cavalry regiments.

Pakistan, on the other hand, has completed the replacement of American equipment. By the outbreak of this war, the Pakistan Army has cultivated a powerful armored force, including fifteen armored cavalry regiments equipped with forty-five tanks.

Most of them have American-made m47/48 Patton series tanks. In addition, they also retained 200 m4 Sherman tanks that belonged to the classic models of World War II and 150 m24 "Jiafei" light tanks that were auxiliary to them.

As for the m36 tank destroyer with the lowest proportion, it is also a powerful equipment that cannot be underestimated. The Pakistani army organized the above armed forces into the first and sixth armored divisions, hoping to crush India with a heavy blow.

The news that the oil-producing countries announced that they would collectively impose an oil embargo on India reached Karachi. The Pakistani military cheered and expressed gratitude for the support of the Brothers of the Peace Church. This also increased Pakistan’s confidence in this war and began to brew a large-scale offensive, which the Pakistani military named Operation Grand Slam.

Karachi is immersed in an atmosphere of superiority. The war two years ago proved that the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is just like that. This time, there is also an embargo imposed on India by the brother countries of the Peace Church. It can be said that the realm of vigorous competition is still there. Right now, I want to replicate the glory of the Himalayas again in two years.

The Pakistani Air Force, trained by the United States, took over the mission of air supremacy. Commander of the Pakistani Air Force, Nur Khan, ordered thirty-two F-86 and eight F-104 fighter jets to launch raids on five airports and three radar stations in the depths of the Indian mainland. .

I have to say that the Pakistani Air Force trained by the U.S. Air Force is a good student. It is far more comfortable than India in the field of using air force. The flying coffins of the F-104 fighter jets are all used by the Pakistan Air Force.

Donald, the US ambassador to London, found Alan Wilson and explained the US's views on this war. There is no doubt that after Nehru's death, India is still very close to the Soviet Union. Both the UK and the US should support Pakistan and balance India's position in South Asia. Influence.

"Dear Ambassador, this will only make India farther and farther away from the free world, and India is a Commonwealth country." Alan Wilson certainly disagrees. Britain must not stand opposite India. India remains in the Commonwealth. But support a Pakistan that has withdrawn from the Commonwealth? This is both emotional and reasonable, "It's like if the United States and the Soviet Union go to war and we support the Soviet Union, do you think this is possible?"

"Secretary-General, this analogy is inappropriate. Many Arab countries are on the side of Pakistan. Of course, India is very important. Isn't the Persian Gulf not important?" Donald said in his heart that it is best for Britain to support India. Anti-British sentiment might erupt in the Middle East.

He certainly didn't know that the initiator of the Arab countries' oil embargo against India was on the opposite side of him. Alan Wilson could not destroy relations with India, but he could not stand on India's side either. Anyway, at that time, he said that he was coerced by the United States. Originally, Britain wanted to help India.

In fact, because of the oil embargo this time, the original intention of the Soviet Union to expand its influence in India has also changed.

The oil embargo involves too many countries, not only a bunch of monarchies, but also Iran and Saudi Arabia, which the United States is very optimistic about, and Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan, which the United Kingdom has traditional influence. It even includes Syria and Sudan, which turned pro-Soviet, and Yemen, which the Soviet Union is focusing on wooing.

These are not just the Arab world, but the entire world of the Church of Peace, involving different hilltops, some pro-American, some pro-British and French, and most importantly, pro-Soviet countries.

Because before Britain left, it contributed to the split between North and South Sudan, which led to a consequence in Sudan, that is, Ibrahim Abboud was very dissatisfied with Britain and adopted a pro-Soviet policy in recent years. In fact, Sudan turned to the Soviet Union very early in history. For South Sudan's oil, Alan Wilson exhausted his resources, which greatly accelerated the process.

Afterwards, the oil pipeline built by the United Kingdom in South Sudan passing through Kenya was patted and left. As a result, North Sudan began to hate South Sudan and the instigator Britain, which has become the current situation.

Syria and Sudan are pro-Soviet countries in the Arab world. Now the Soviet Union is still close to fighting for the Yemeni Freedom Officer Organization, which represents progress. It hopes to plant a nail in the **** of Saudi Arabia, a pro-American country, and can also establish influence near the Suez Canal force.

Now the Arab world, and even the entire peace religion world, have played the oil embargo card, regardless of whether they are pro-American, pro-Soviet or pro-British and French, making the Soviet Union, which wants to expand its influence in India, scratching its head.

The Kremlin, and Brezhnev, who was still in the honeymoon period with Shelepin, called Shelepin over to discuss how to deal with the current situation, "Shulik, it seems that the entire world of peace religion is united. If we are too Obviously favoring India will offend the entire peace religion world. It is obviously not good for our struggle against imperialism."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the king of Iraq to have such an idea so suddenly?" Shelepin was very surprised, "So many countries are on the side of Pakistan. If we support India, we will definitely get the friendship of New Delhi, but we cannot Explain to the Arabs ~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, our official position is to support the liberation of the Arabs.”

Supporting the cause of Arab liberation was the official attitude of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union really wanted to win over India. However, it is not impossible for the official attitude to be flexible when encountering the clear positions of so many oil countries.

"Even the British colonies and protectorate sided with Pakistan this time. I remember that the British also had huge interests in India. Even the British dared not say anything." Brezhnev pondered for a moment, "I I believe the UK is also in a dilemma now, otherwise, we can give it a try, communicate with the UK side, and jointly mediate to end the war between the two countries, what do you think?"

If only the Soviet Union did this, it might become a target of public criticism, but if it is with the United Kingdom, this matter is not impossible. The UK also has its own interests in the Persian Gulf, where tens of thousands of troops are still there, and there are legacy British companies in India. Brezhnev feels that the situation of the UK is similar to that of the Soviet Union.

The three giants of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union in World War II, because of the emergence of the oil embargo, did not know how to deal with it for a while. The United States is the easiest, and the United States has always supported Pakistan. The British and the Soviet Union were silent, avoiding expressing their attitudes and avoiding offending either party.
