In the Indo-Pak war, the navy played a secondary role, but this does not mean that there is no role for the navy. In fact, in the second Indo-Pak war six years ago, a Pakistani submarine sank an Indian destroyer, which led India to increase its naval power.
Adequate preparations were also made.
The Indian Navy invested more than 1.1 billion rupees in military expenditures after the war. It was not only used to purchase new equipment, but also focused on strengthening the training level of relevant personnel. Although the plan for coordinated fleet operations is also on the agenda, there are
Sufficient funds are available to ensure rapid progress.
Therefore, by the time the third India-Pakistan War broke out, the Indian Navy's morale, training and equipment integrity rate had reached the highest level in history.
As the situation in Bangladesh worsened, the Indians realized that another war would be inevitable. Starting from the summer, the Indian Navy began to plan and execute future combat plans. Based on the overall military deployment of the Pakistanis, two completely different sets of plans were formulated.
Combat modes are used in Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively.
The task force, led by the aircraft carrier Vikrant, will go to Bangladesh to carry out strike and blockade missions. When the time is right, the amphibious force will land under the cover of the formation.
The Western Fleet, which is dominated by most other surface ships, will blockade Pakistan's important port of Karachi and attack the opponent's key coastal targets. The fleets at both ends will use overwhelming offensives to control sea power, regardless of whether they perform offensive or defensive missions.
.
Because of the weakness of the Pakistan Navy, the Indian Navy has no urgent need to strengthen. Alan Wilson has no way to do this. Moreover, the British World War II inventory has been emptied. It just sold the Tiger cruiser to India, and the current West Coast flagship is
The tonnage of this first cruiser, which exceeds 10,000 tons, is completely justified. The only problem is that it is an artillery cruiser.
There is no need for India to find fault. The Royal Navy still has two ships in service and has no plans to upgrade or modify them. Instead, it is waiting for shield ships to be replaced.
Although the Indian Navy is an important regional force in the Indian Ocean, it is still not enough to face the US Task Force 74 which has already shouted out its slogan before it has even formed an army. Moscow’s reply to New Delhi was that in the Soviet fleet
Stick to your strategy before you get there.
In order to strengthen the confidence of its allies, New Delhi stated that India had contacted London and that the Royal Navy fleet in Southeast Asia had adopted a bystander attitude towards the India-Pakistan war and would not become India's enemy. This was to reassure the Soviet Union that the local
Important characters have announced their absence.
The news that some warships of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet were heading south could not be hidden from the anti-submarine detachment of the US Seventh Fleet, also known as the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. The Japanese understood very well that dangers on the water are not dangers, but dangers underwater are dangers. The Soviet Union
The focus of the Red Navy's development is underwater. Of course, Japan cannot deal with the underdeveloped surface fleet.
For a submarine, the most terrifying enemy is a mine. We don’t know when and where it will explode. Obviously, it will explode as soon as it hits it, and the entire crew will be killed. For submarines operating in the water,
Generally speaking, it is more terrible for a tank to encounter a mine than to encounter a mine.
When a tank hits a mine, its tracks will only be blown off and it will be unable to move. However, the submarine is different. Water pressure can accurately transport the entire crew to another world.
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has advanced equipment in the anti-submarine field. Except for one thing, Japan does not have the right to declare war. Without the nod of the United States, all Japan can do is watch the Soviet Red Navy signal on the radar and head towards the Tsushima Strait.
It is difficult for non-Japanese people to understand this feeling of just watching others heading towards the battlefield of Tsushima. If the Soviet Red Navy accidentally bombed it at this time, Japan would have no choice but to survive.
Relying on the U.S. intelligence system in the Far East and the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, London quickly understood the extent of the spillover effects of this India-Pakistan war.
Alan Wilson, who has been particularly diligent in the Ministry of Defense recently, listened to the discussion between Marshal Charles and several chiefs of staff and judged how many submarines were following them underwater on the other side of Eurasia. He couldn't help but feel funny. Japan is the anti-submarine detachment of the Seventh Fleet.
That's right, if Britain hadn't been there, even if it hadn't turned into an anti-submarine detachment in the Atlantic direction, it would have been around by this time.
"In other words, underwater power deserves more attention. Of course, the Soviet guided missile destroyers cannot be ignored." Alan Wilson asked in relief, "Isn't that right?"
Several chiefs of staff nodded, and Alan Wilson signaled to be calm, "We have a base in the Andaman Islands, which is an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Because of the existence of this naval base, the Royal Navy's deployment is towards the Far East.
The smaller the aircraft carrier is, the Royal Pacific Fleet only has two Eagle-class aircraft carriers. I don’t understand the comparison, but the two combined are equal to the USS Enterprise. However, Washington has long announced the establishment of a task force, which has great implications.
Deterrence factor.”
The most ridiculous thing is that one of the two Eagle-class aircraft carriers is now stationed in Perth, loyally protecting Australia. There is only one aircraft carrier in Malaya.
"This may be a coward's game, so maybe nothing will happen before things get dangerous." Alan Wilson just meant it by beating around the bush, the general reserve team, don't move!
This shows how correct the decision to separate the Andaman Islands before leaving was. There have been some noises in India over the years, saying that Britain should return the Andaman Islands, but this thing was not available at the time.
We have achieved this and are talking about this now? Is it possible?
This has also brought certain troubles to the Indian Navy's operations this time. A little knowledge of India in the military field can tell that there are not many excellent ports in the Indian subcontinent. India's coastline is quite smooth, which is different from that of a large country.
Differently, the coastline of a certain large country looks smooth, but has thorns on it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, this is not the big problem above, it is just that 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 only means that India has no
It possesses the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
"Actually, it's useless for us to join. The fleet at the Malayan port is dominated by battleships. Its status is very similar to the German High Seas Fleet during World War I. Its purpose is to exist, and existence is everything. There are two Queen Elizabeth-class ships and one
One is in Zanzibar and one is in Bahrain. Should the Centaur aircraft carrier from Xiangjiang be allowed to pass by?"
"In the current situation, the most suitable decision for the UK is to stand still. Anyway, the Andaman Islands are in our hands, and we can take action no matter when."
"There is nothing going on in Bahrain and Zanzibar now. If the United States makes special demands, it seems unjustifiable." Marshal Charles frowned, as if he was wondering if he could help.
"It's best not to do this. The Middle East is the world's energy center. No matter what happens, important local military forces should not be mobilized." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "At least it's not that time yet. Maybe the United States or the Soviet Union
, just returned the way we came.”
Just on the road, Britain began to plan what to do if the United States asked for assistance. It was really too prepared for a rainy day. The Pacific Fleet was still far away.
After work, Alan Wilson walked straight out of Whitehall and went to severely criticize Monroe for sending the U.S. task force to add fuel to the fire. Monroe's face turned red and she must have been ashamed.
Ever since changes occurred in Indonesia that were not conducive to the free world, a squadron of the Soviet Red Navy has been permanently stationed in Indonesia, claiming to be defending Indonesia from the threat of imperialism.
In fact, it was a confrontation between Malaya's Royal Navy fleet. This fleet was incomparable with the Royal Pacific Fleet in terms of tonnage, but Malaya's huge fleet was dominated by battleships.
In the following 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 had made great progress deep into Bangladesh. The battle situation in East Pakistan
It has changed suddenly.
In the Strait of Malacca, a task force dominated by the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is passing through this golden waterway, while the Far East Joint Operations Command and the Pacific Fleet Command are discussing whether the Soviet Red Navy fleet in Indonesia should leave the port.
What to order? Even if it's too late.
In the end, the calm military leadership decided to kick the ball back to the mainland and leave it to the government to make a decision. At the same time, Alan Wilson was discussing post-war reconstruction with the Commonwealth Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet. Wick's
The phone call brought the discussion between the three to an end, "Secretary-General, Washington hopes that the United Kingdom can take some actions to prevent the Soviet fleet in Indonesia from entering the Bay of Bengal."
"I remember the intelligence from two days ago was that the Soviet fleet had passed through the Tsushima Strait. Why didn't the Americans let the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force intercept it?" Alan Wilson, who was holding the microphone, said, "The Malacca Strait is important gold in the world.
Waterways are not private property of the UK. I think Americans should know the seriousness of this, not to mention that there is Indonesia across the street. When the time comes when the US just slaps its ass and leaves, will we still have to clean up the mess?"
"Does the Foreign Secretary know about this?" After hearing Wick's answer, Alan Wilson replied, "First inform the minister about this and express the UK's difficulties."
When Alan Wilson put down the phone, John Hunter said, "But having said that, are we going to pay for the reconstruction of Bangladesh? We must control the investment."
"It's so simple, just print some money. As long as the Bangladeshis recognize it, the pound and gold will have the same status." Alan Wilson whistled, "No one knows if you do it secretly, we are not the United States.
Four to five hundred billion were printed at once."
