Chapter 208 Temporary Compromise

"It's great. It was your promise that India sent troops. But now, the situation is not good. You will withdraw first and let the Pakistani air force fight our India with all our might." Indira Gandhi said coldly.

Just a few months ago, the Third World Non-Alignment Conference was held in India. As the host, India has been emphasizing non-Alignment. In just a few months, India reached an agreement with the Soviet Union and provoked a border dispute.

Now it seems that this is a complete joke. The Soviet Union abandoned India at a critical moment.

"Of course not." The Soviet ambassador said: "We will provide your country with our most advanced MiG29 fighter jets, which have advanced performance and can fight against Pakistan-equipped Tomcat fighters, including our most advanced helmet scope. As long as the Pakistani planes fly into the range of sight, they will not have any chance to escape."

In later generations, India only obtained such a batch of advanced MiG29 fighter jets in 1986. Now, with the development of the incident, if the Soviet Union wants to check and balance Pakistan, it can only export this fighter jet to India in advance.

India's MiG21 and MiG23 cannot compete with Tomcat fighters, and only MiG29 has enough advantages!

Without Indira Gandhi's application, the Soviet Union took the initiative to provide India with it. In addition to competing with Pakistan, another purpose was naturally to export and earn foreign exchange. With the progress of the Afghan war, the Soviet Union's treasury was rapidly consumed, and they needed more funds to maintain their normal operation and export weapons. This was a very direct way.

"Then our Air Force needs to order fifty of these fighter jets, and I hope you can deliver the goods as soon as possible." Indira Gandhi said, she didn't want to wait for a moment.

"We will give priority to export to your country. As long as the project is negotiated, the first batch of fighter jets will fly to India within half a month." said the Soviet ambassador.

The dispute between India and Pakistan happened suddenly, and the result was surprising. After India lost a mechanized infantry brigade and an independent tank brigade, the Indians actually chose to stop.

The war did not continue, and the troops gathered in the desert did not continue to launch an attack, and each returned to its own station. In the Kashmir region in the north, the Indians still occupied the captured outposts and were firmly controlled.

In this regard, observers unanimously believe that this is because of pressure from the United States. When the US aircraft carrier fleet sailed to the Bay of Bengal, it had already expressed its attitude. Under the strong pressure from the United States, Indians had to swallow their tears and swallow their bitter fruits.

Pakistani fighter jets were still cruising over Kashmir. Faced with Pakistan's hegemony, India actually endured it.

It seemed that India had become a harmless little cat in an instant.

Pakistan, Islamabad.

"The Indians are definitely unwilling to fail. They must be accumulating their strength and planning to launch the next attack." said Defense Minister Murweif.

"Yes. We must deal with it well. Our current focus is still in the east. In the west, the Soviets actually stopped flying across the border, which is the most beneficial to us." Another voice said.

The recent war is too beneficial to Pakistan. The 71-year haze has been swept away, and the entire army is filled with laughter of victory. They are all waiting for the orders from above to attack India!

"We should attack the Kashmir Valley according to our plan." Lieutenant General Mirza said: "Our Third Army is ready to rush down the mountain and enter the valley at any time."

Now, all the results of the battle are of the Air Force, and the Army has no contribution, which is unacceptable to the Pakistani army, which is supreme.

Mirza's third army had already made a battle plan, but he had never been able to enter the battle. He could not wait.

"Yes, it's time to regain the Kashmir Valley, where our fellow citizens are!" another voice said.

At the beginning, the reason why the Kashmir Valley was used as the target of combat was that 80% of the people there were Muslims and their compatriots, while most of the other areas were Hindus. As long as they occupied the Kashmir Valley, they could fully gain the support of the locals.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Mhamad seemed to have regarded the Kashmir Valley as the flesh on his mouth. He couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart that the time to liberate the Kashmir Valley has passed.

If the Pakistani army was on the border of Indians at that time, when they were stationed in India, the Pakistani army made a concerted effort and used their own plans to capture the Kashmir Valley, it would be completely in line with the situation at that time. The Americans would not say anything to Pakistan, and they would even have to applaud and fight well! Let's see what tricks the Indians dare to play!

But now, the Indians seem to have given up. No matter what, after the arrival of the American aircraft carrier, the Indians became bearish and did not continue to increase their troops. The borders remained in the status quo. Even in Kashmir, their planes flew in the sky, they actually endured it.

In this case, if our side still launches an attack relentlessly, then the pressure from the United States will come.

The Americans supported it mainly to fight the Soviet Union, not to print it. How could the Americans watch Indians be abused by their own side?

Now, the people sitting here are all too optimistic.

"By the way, when we attack, our air force should bomb the Indian military targets in advance, right?" Mirza said with great enthusiasm: "Every time we attack, the air force will open the way for us. This time our air force has obtained so many advanced missiles, which should be able to destroy the Indian targets more, right? Lieutenant General Mhamad?"

At the beginning, Mhamad proposed the combat method of direct landing at Srinagar Air Base. Mirza disagreed at that time. Now, Mirza said this, which is even more ordinary style of play. The army is the protagonist. The air force just helps bomb and seizes the enemy's land. It depends on the army!

Now, he said this, and he had a stronger sense of his tactics. He asked Mhamad in a strange tone.

Mhamad lowered his head and was still pondering.

"Lt. General Mhamad?" Mirza asked again. Nur Khan next to him stabbed Mhamad, and Mhamad returned to the conference room after he thought.

Mhamad didn't hear what Mirza said just now, but since he was already sitting here, Mhamad would not make favors just because he was concerned about someone's face.

He looked up and saw President Zia Hack looking at him, and felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders: "Sorry, Mr. President, we are not suitable for continuing to attack now."

"Why? Lieutenant General Mhamad, do you think we shouldn't pursue it?" Lieutenant General Mirza couldn't help but raise the volume.

Although both of them have ranks of lieutenant generals, the Army's lieutenant generals are more confident than the Air Force's lieutenant generals.

"Yes, we have lost the best opportunity. Now, we should keep the status quo. As long as the sky in Kashmir is ours, we can launch an offense at any time. The United States has acquiesced to the no-fly zone, but if we launch a large-scale attack, the United States will definitely be dissatisfied."

"How is it possible? The United States absolutely supports us."

"Don't forget that in the previous few wars, we were abandoned by the Americans." Mhamad said: "The Americans are not our real allies. It's just that under the current circumstances, the Americans must support us in order to deal with the Soviet Union. Without the Soviet Union, India's interests are far greater than our interests! Now, we and the Americans are just asking for their needs!"

The previous India-Pakistan wars were forever painful for Pakistan. Since Pakistan's original fighter jets were made in the United States, when the United States announced an embargo on both sides of the war, it was actually only the Pakistani side that was hurt.

Now, the United States fully supports Pakistan and even deters India is because of the Soviet Union, and that's all.

Just now, Zia Hak also had an optimistic feeling, but now, when he heard Mhamad's analysis, he immediately woke up. Now is indeed not a good time to continue to start the war.

"Mr. President, our soldiers are ready!" Mirza said, looking at Zia Hak, knowing that Mhamad had moved him.

"Keep the status quo, our current war is mainly on the Western Front." Zia Hak said: "At the same time, our army is ready. Once the Indians are really anxious, we will fight them back!"

Mirza's face turned green, but since the president had made a decision, he had to abide by the president's orders.

"The Soviets have transferred the air force back and will not fight us," Mhamad said. "This is a good opportunity for us, and we can do more than we are now."

Historically, Pakistan's air force has been flying in its own airspace and has not crossed the line because Pakistan does not want to anger the Soviets too much.

Now, the conflict between the two sides has almost become public and battles occur from time to time. In this case, it is a bit stalemate when you are still firmly guarding your own airspace. After all, the Air Force is an offensive force!

"Mhamad, tell me." Zia Hak said.
