In the India-Pakistan war, the navy played a secondary role, but it by no means means that there is no navy. In fact, in the second India-Pakistan war six years ago, the example of a Pakistani submarine sinking an Indian destroyer led India to increase its naval power. Also made adequate preparations.

The Indian Navy invested more than 1.1 billion rupees in military spending after the war. It is not only used to purchase new equipment, but also focuses on strengthening the training level of relevant personnel. Although the plan for coordinated operations of the fleet has also been put on the agenda, there are sufficient funds to ensure rapid progress.

Therefore, by the outbreak of the third Indo-Pakistani war, the morale, training and equipment integrity rate of the Indian Navy had reached the highest level in history.

As the situation in the Bengal region deteriorated, the Indians realized that another war would be inevitable. Since the summer, the Indian Navy has been planning and executing future operational plans. According to the overall military deployment of the Pakistanis, two completely different combat modes have been formulated, which are used in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The task force, led by the aircraft carrier Vikrant, will go to Bangladesh to carry out strike and blockade missions. Amphibious forces will land under formation cover when the time is right.

The Western Fleet, which is dominated by most of the other surface ships, will block Karachi, an important port in Pakistan. By the way, attack the opponent's coastal key targets. Whether performing offensive or defensive missions, the fleets on both sides will control sea power with overwhelming offensive.

Because of the weakness of the Pakistani navy, there is no urgent need to strengthen the Indian navy. Alan Wilson has no choice but to do so, and the British stockpile of World War II has been emptied. It just sold the Tiger cruiser to India. The current flagship of the West Coast is the first of the cruiser. The tonnage of over 10,000 tons is completely in the past. The only problem is that this is an artillery cruiser.

India doesn't need to be picky, the Royal Navy still has two ships in service, and there is no plan to upgrade and refit, but waiting for the shield ship to replace it.

Although the Indian Navy is an important regional force in the Indian Ocean, it is still not enough to see the US 74th Task Force, which has already shouted its slogan before it becomes an army. Moscow's reply to New Delhi was to stick to strategy until the Soviet fleet arrived.

In order to strengthen the confidence of its allies, New Delhi said that India has contacted London, and the Royal Navy fleet in Southeast Asia has adopted a bystander attitude towards the India-Pakistan war. Not to be an enemy of India, as a way to reassure the Soviet Union that important local players have declared their absence.

The news that some warships of the Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy were heading south could not be concealed from the Anti-Submarine Detachment of the Seventh Fleet of the United States, that is, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The Japanese understand very well that the danger on the surface is not the danger, but the danger under the water. The focus of the Soviet Red Navy's development is underwater. Of course, the surface fleet Japan, which is not very developed, can't deal with it.

For submarines, the most formidable enemy is mines. Not sure when and where it exploded. Obviously, as soon as it touches it, it will explode, and the entire crew will be killed. For submarines operating in water, it is more terrifying when a tank encounters a mine.

When a tank hits a mine, it just blows off its tracks and cannot move. However, submarines are different. The water pressure can unmistakably transport the crew to another world.

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has advanced equipment in the field of anti-submarine. Except for one point, Japan has no right to declare war, and there is no nod from the United States. All Japan can do is to watch the signal of the Soviet Red Navy on the radar, heading towards the Tsushima Strait.

It is difficult for non-Japanese people to understand this kind of feeling that they can only watch others move towards the battlefield of the Tsushima naval battle. If the Soviet Red Navy accidentally bombs at this time, Japan can only hold on.

Thanks to the U.S. intelligence system in the Far East and the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, London quickly learned how big the spillover effect of this India-Pakistan war was.

Alan Wilson, who recently came to the Ministry of Defense, was very diligent. He listened to the discussion between Marshal Charles and several chiefs of staff, and judged how many submarines were following underwater at the other end of the Eurasian continent. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Japan is the anti-submarine detachment of the Seventh Fleet. That's right, if the UK hadn't been with him, even if it didn't become an anti-submarine detachment in the Atlantic direction, it would be almost the same time.

"In other words, underwater power is more worthy of attention. Of course, the Soviet missile destroyers cannot be ignored." Alan Wilson asked in relief, "Is that so?"

Several chiefs of staff nodded, and Alan Wilson signaled to be calm, "We have a base in the Andaman Islands, which is itself an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Because of the existence of this naval base, the Royal Navy's deployment is the farther east. The smaller it is, the Royal Pacific Fleet has only two Eagle-class aircraft carriers. I don't quite understand the comparison, but the two combined are equal to the Enterprise. However, Washington has long announced the establishment of a task force, with great deterrent factor."

The most ridiculous thing is that one of the two Eagle-class aircraft carriers is now stationed in Perth, loyally protecting Australia, and there is only one aircraft carrier in Malaya.

"This may be a game of cowards, so when things are not in danger, maybe nothing will happen." Alan Wilson is just a mean, the general reserve team, don't move!

This shows how correct the decision to divide the Andaman Islands was made before leaving. It is not without some noise in India over the years, saying that the United Kingdom should return the Andaman Islands, but this thing was not at that time. Get it, are you talking about this now? Is it possible?

This has also brought some trouble to the operation of the Indian Navy this time. It can be seen from a little understanding of India in the military field that there are not many excellent ports in the Indian subcontinent, and the coastline of India is quite smooth. Different, the coastline of a large country looks smooth, but there are spines on it.

Of course, this is not a big problem, but there are not many natural harbors, and it is not a big problem to spend a little engineering renovation. If this becomes a big problem, it can only show that India does not have the magic of nature.

"Actually, it's useless for us to join. The fleet in the Malayan port is dominated by battleships. The state is very similar to the German High Seas Fleet during the First World War. Its purpose is to exist, and existence is everything. Two Queen Elizabeth-class ships, one In Zanzibar and one in Bahrain, should the Centaur carrier of Xiangjiang pass by?"

"In the current situation, the most suitable decision for the United Kingdom is to do nothing. Anyway, the Andaman Islands are in our hands, no matter when there is action."

"There is nothing wrong with Bahrain and Zanzibar now. If the United States asks for it, it doesn't seem to make sense." Marshal Charles frowned, as if wondering if he could help.

"It's better not to do this. The Middle East is the world's energy center. No matter what happens, you should not deploy important local military forces." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "At least not yet, maybe the United States or the Soviet Union. , and went back the same way."

Just on the road, what if the United Kingdom began to plan for the United States to ask for assistance? It's a bit too prudent. The Pacific Fleet is still far away.

After work, Alan Wilson directly walked out of Whitehall and went to Monroe to criticize the behavior of the United States sending a task force to fuel the fire. Monroe blushed and must be very ashamed.

Since Indonesia has experienced changes that are not conducive to the free world, a squadron of the Soviet Red Navy has been permanently stationed in Indonesia, claiming to defend Indonesia from the threat of imperialism.

In fact, the Royal Navy fleet in Malaya faced off. In terms of tonnage, this fleet was incomparable with the Royal Pacific Fleet, but the huge fleet of Malaya was dominated by battleships.

In the next few days, the Indian Army attacking the western front finally penetrated the Pakistani defenders here. At the same time, the Indian army on the north road and the Indian army on the east road have made great progress in entering Bangladesh. UU read www. uukanshu.com The war situation in East Pakistan has changed abruptly.

The Strait of Malacca, the task force dominated by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, is passing through this golden waterway, while the Far East Joint Operations Command and the Pacific Fleet Command are discussing the departure of the Soviet Red Navy fleet in Indonesia, whether it should be done order what? Even if it's too late.

In the end, the calm military leadership decided to kick the ball back to the homeland and leave it to the government to make a decision. Meanwhile, Alan Wilson was discussing post-war reconstruction with the Commonwealth Secretary-General and the Cabinet Under-Secretary, and Wick's call brought the trio to an end. Stop the Indonesian Soviet fleet from entering the Bay of Bengal."

"I remember the intelligence from two days ago that the Soviet fleet had passed through the Tsushima Strait. Why didn't the Americans let the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force intercept it?" Alan Wilson, who was holding the microphone, cut out, "The Strait of Malacca is an important gold in the world. The waterway is not the private property of the United Kingdom, I think Americans should know the seriousness of this, not to mention that the opposite is Indonesia, when the United States pats the **** and leaves, we need to clean up the mess?"

"Does the Foreign Secretary know about this?" Alan Wilson replied when Wick said no. "Tell the Minister about it first, and express the difficulty of the United Kingdom."

When Alan Wilson put down the phone, John Hunter said, "But then again, is it paying for the reconstruction of Bangladesh? This must be controlled."

"It's so simple, just print some money and come out. As long as the Bangladeshis recognize it, the pound and gold have the same status." Alan Wilson whistled. Four or five hundred billion were printed all at once."
