Chapter 1297 Oil Embargo

"India should also learn a lesson." Eden didn't know whether he was saying that the United States supports Pakistan, or whether he thought that India regarded British mediation as fart this time. Anyway, he was resentful. "But British interests are great in India, and we will No interests will be harmed as a result.”

"Probably not. With the configuration of Indus Pakistan, a high-intensity war will not last too long and will not exceed the war in the Himalayas two years ago." Alan Wilson answered in a determined tone.

In peacetime, countries will not reserve too many weapons and ammunition to prepare for war. The true allies of the United States and the Soviet Union are of course an exception, and they are all seriously preparing for a world war. However, India and Pakistan are not core members of the two major military blocs, but are on the periphery.

Not to mention the top-heavy configuration that the Indian army has always had, with more tanks than armored vehicles and more armored vehicles than artillery.

This is not a configuration ready for large-scale war at any time. In fact, India has never had this capability. Not only will the India-Pakistan war not last long, but with the improvement of various weapons, the war time will become shorter and shorter.

The first India-Pakistan war lasted the longest, and the subsequent wars became shorter and shorter. For many countries, large-scale wars are unaffordable. This is still using Soviet-style weapons suitable for large-scale wars. If it is a country using American-style weapons, it will be even more unable to withstand the consumption of war.

But Alan Wilson also said in front of Eden that with the national strength of India and Pakistan, it is still possible to sustain a high-intensity war for one or two months.

"Well, it seems that India has really grown up. Even our mediation can be ignored. Maybe India thinks that no one in this world can mediate India." Aiden said with a stern expression.

Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, but he didn't agree in his heart. Of course there are countries that can mediate. Isn't it a certain big country that trampled India's dignity under its feet two years ago?

Now that it is said that a certain major country is going to intervene in the war, India promises to consider very seriously whether it wants to cease the war.

There are many countries in the world that care about a certain big country, but in the history of New China, India must be the first to care. Especially after losing a battle, that kind of concern is beyond words.

The most favorite thing to mention about a big country on YouTube is Indians. No matter what the news is, whether military, political, people's livelihood, or economy, as long as this news exists, enthusiastic Indian netizens will appear.

Alan Wilson is not looking down on India. After all, there are not many people in the world who can tie with the poor monks. India is still very strong, but it's just a little timid compared to a certain big country.

"Did you tell the Prime Minister that?" Not long after leaving the Prime Minister's Office,

Permanent Undersecretary of Defense Marks came to visit. Signs of large-scale wars in hot spots must be related to the scope of work of the Department of Defense. He also just responded to almost the same question from the Secretary of Defense, "Indians now look at their northern neighbors. The end result is that it adds fuel to the fire."

"So although I thought so, I didn't say it out loud." Alan Wilson shrugged, saying that he did not suggest using a big country to balance offshore. In fact, you can't borrow it.

"But having said that, the images we often see in the news are poverty and population explosion." Markins mentioned the impression that a large country can make the news, and said that he is not optimistic about the future of this country. "They are struggling to even feed themselves. , but still have time to support others?"

"I don't agree with you, but I also admit that overpopulation is not always a good thing. We want to have a population of 600 million, and the United States and the Soviet Union can call them daddy. The Soviet Union wants to have a population of 600 million, and we can all consider it. He is in exile in Australia." Alan Wilson said, "There are two sides to the matter, and it is too early to draw a conclusion now."

Even if the demographic factor is not mentioned, Alan Wilson believes that the United States does not have an overall advantage based on local conditions alone. China and the United States are still about 40% to 60% apart. East Asia is the place with the largest coverage area of ​​rain and heat in the same period in the world. Of course, the United States is also the same, but the coverage area is not as large as East Asia.

Not to mention the black soil that both countries have, and the cliche that North America does not have north-south mountains to isolate cold air from moving south. In fact, the water resources of the United States are not as good as those of certain big countries. Don't look at a certain big country that complains about its water shortage every day. There are many places in the world that are short of water. India's water shortage is more serious than that of a certain big country.

Excluding the factors of black soil and precipitation, among other lands, the land of a certain large country is of better quality than the land of the United States. The disadvantage is that the plain area is not as large as that of the United States. A certain big country can be said to be the best place to live in the Old Continent. This is no exaggeration at all. Compared with the United States, let alone India.

When it comes to per capita, that's not the case. A certain big country has all kinds of resources at the forefront of the world, but divided by population, it doesn't look optimistic.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet and the Permanent Secretary of Defense both agreed that we should pay attention to the situation in India and Pakistan, and then reached a consensus that we should ask the Portuguese what they think. Are you ready to take advantage of the situation, or are you waiting to see what happens? The Portuguese can choose whatever they want. The British have no enmity with India. They are just asking from a neutral perspective.

The news that India is mobilizing heavy troops cannot be hidden from the United States. After communicating with Washington, Alan Wilson said that the British mediation was a lonely one.

Washington was not surprised at all, saying that the United States had sent people to activate two radar stations in Pakistan close to India in preparation for the war.

"The United States is still strong." Alan Wilson remembered that this Indo-Pakistani war was one of several Indo-Pakistani wars in which Pakistan did not suffer a loss and took advantage.

But even so, he doesn't think Pakistan can confront India for a long time. The distance between West Pakistan and East Pakistan is too far, and the unfair trade between East Pakistan's exports and West Pakistan's imports has not changed at all. Sooner or later, India will wait for the opportunity to dismantle Pakistan's east-west pincer attack pattern.

With the intelligence sent from Washington, Alan Wilson informed Eden of the United States' support for Pakistan, "Prime Minister, just as I predicted for you, the United States will side with Pakistan. I think this time the war is still balanced, and both sides You may not be able to achieve your goals.”

"At present, it seems that India is more proactive." Eden looked at the intelligence about the India-Pakistan war, and then looked at Alan Wilson, "Where is Marshal Mountbatten? He is the last Governor-General of India. This war will definitely have consequences. My own opinion.”

"The Marshal went to Perth." Alan Wilson decisively rejected Aiden's idea of ​​using old things, saying that this kind of thing did not require Marshal Mountbatten to personally take action.

In ancient and modern battles, the pig's tactics have been successfully used by people again and again. When attacked, they will lean their butt against the wall, so that you can't grab the tail, and finally it is helpless. put. This war will not exceed the level of the Xuzhou Suppression General, Alan Wilson is absolutely convinced.

One of the six Indian divisions sent to the front line by India was equipped with British-made Victory tanks. This was also the first time that Victory tanks faced actual combat.

The main point of contention between India and Pakistan is still Kashmir. Do tanks also need to be used in the fight for Kashmir? India even uses tanks when dispatching troops to the Himalayas. The Indians are so confident that they will use the weapons they have bought regardless of the local terrain.

The Indian army used two divisions to attack the Pakistani army south of the Uri River on the west side of the ceasefire line and captured three posts of the Pakistani border guard. A fierce tank battle broke out between the two sides around Jambu.

I don’t know if the war two years ago really inspired the Pakistani army. Pakistan, which suffered a loss in the first India-Pakistan war, is particularly tenacious this time and performed much better than it did more than ten years ago. The large-scale war between India and Pakistan has become an international hot spot no less than the Vietnam War.

From the beginning, this war attracted the attention of the international community, especially the peace world. On the first day of the war, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran expressed their indignation at India's invasion of Pakistan. This kind of indignation certainly cannot sway the powerful and powerful countries.

From India's perspective, these countries cannot threaten India, but as the war progresses, the camp of peace religion countries that oppose India is still expanding. He also stated that on the premise of maintaining peace and teaching world unity, he would take unified action against India and issue this threat to support Pakistan and let India stop the war.

Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Kuwait, and the newly independent Yemen also joined in the criticism. Finally, under the joint appeal of the King of Iraq and Egypt, the world of peace religions including the above countries prepared to hold a boycott of India in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. International conference, even Iran sent people to participate in this conference.

The Peace Church world is united. Even when facing Israel, the Peace Church world is not so united. At least Iran is not very hostile to Israel.

At the same time as the Baghdad Conference was held, while attacking Jambu, the Pakistani army also organized and strengthened its forces to launch a large-scale offensive in Madara, north of Jambu. The Indian infantry launched a fierce counterattack, but under the powerful artillery bombardment of the Pakistani army, they gradually became unable to support themselves.

The Pakistani army advanced to a place only 300 yards away from the Indian army's high command in Madara, and encountered desperate resistance from the Indian army, which had no retreat.

"Indians must understand that we cannot treat our brother countries in this way." King Faisal II of Iraq is 30 years old this year. He is completely different from the youth when he studied in London. He waved his fist and attracted the attention of representatives from various countries. " I hereby issue an initiative for all countries here to sincerely support Pakistani brothers and initiate an oil embargo against India. Do not allow even one barrel of our oil to flow into India."

"Kuwait agrees..." "Oman agrees, Jordan agrees, Libya agrees, Sudan agrees, Yemen agrees, Syria agrees..." The united world of peace religion appeared in front of the world after this meeting, and the participating countries unanimously decided to launch an attack on India Oil embargo.
