Kandahar Command, Afghanistan. General Joseph, commander of the Afghan front garrison who was responsible for the US military's war against Pakistan, was on the verge of a rampage. General Joseph angrily scolded Major General Smith of the 10th Mountain Division for a while due to the poor performance and huge casualties of the 10th Mountain Division. Therefore, when Major General Hawke requested a retreat, General Joseph's rage was not gone, and he also scolded Major General Hawke, who was not rescued in time.

At this moment, hundreds of fighter jets of the US Air Force are coming and will soon be able to gain air superiority. According to General Joseph's idea, at least the Pakistani heavy armored troops in the Atak area must be eliminated to recover the impact of the 10th Mountain Division's defeat. In one battle, two M1A2SEP tank battalions and two Bradley tank battalions were lost, and aboard an Avengers air defense missile battalion was used. This loss could almost make General Joseph a laughing stock among his colleagues. Not to mention being promoted to Chief of Staff, if he did not have any record of making any achievements, it would be difficult to maintain his current position.

Before launching the Battle against Bahrain, General Joseph was full of confidence and thought that this would be a peak in his military career. Once he achieved victory in the battle against Bahrain, he would undoubtedly surpass the commander in Iraq who commanded the Persian war, and would also overwhelm the commander in Europe who had no military achievements and became the first candidate for the chief of staff of the US Army.

Who knew that as soon as the war started, the air did not gain any advantage against the Pakistani fighter jets, so it could not obtain air supremacy in Pakistani airspace. Fortunately, in the battle of Peshawar, the ground troops under his command were quite powerful, and they took over two divisions and one armored brigade of the Pakistani army in one fell swoop. It seemed that the ground propulsion was much smoother than in the air.

Who knew that when he arrived in the Atak area, he was hit so violently that the results he had achieved were almost meaningless. The 10th Mountain Division, which was almost defeated, proved that the strength of the Pakistani ground troops was far beyond everyone's expectations. When he thought of this, General Joseph was even more scared. Fortunately, he did not obey some of the combat plans of some staff and rashly threw the 82nd Airborne Division in his hand near Islamabad to seize Islamabad.

Otherwise, General Joseph would probably have received news of the destruction of the 82nd Airborne Division, which is definitely an unprecedented and huge shame in the history of modern warfare of the US military. As the commander, General Joseph will also become a rare defeated general in the history of the US military because of this huge failure.

Fortunately, he insisted on avoiding the ground troops alone without grasping air supremacy. The Pakistani army, which had a closer relationship with the People's Liberation Army, was indeed more difficult to deal with than the Persian army. However, now, General Joseph saw the air force fleet from the Gulf area being constantly approaching Atak, and was ruthless in his heart that he must take down the Pakistani armored brigade with extremely powerful attack capabilities in front of the Pakistani army. Otherwise, according to the current results, this battle would be a major defeat in his military career.

On the large curtain wall of the General Staff Operations Command Center in Beijing, the current situation of important battles in the battlefields of North Korea and Pakistan is displayed in real time. The land-based radar warning system in Pakistan has long since transmitted the dynamics of US fighter jets. However, in the face of this situation, the General Staff is helpless. Now, only one J-20 flight regiment can compete with US fighter jets in the Air Force reserves, and at this moment, the Pakistani army is facing two attacks on the US and Indian Air Force.

"There are no more troops in our Northwest Military Region's Air Force?" Vice Chairman Liu asked Major General Shi Shaolai, who was in a state of depression.

"Chairman Liu, now our army is close to several air bases on the Pakistan side, and only three J-10 flight regiments are left. The airspace that needs defense has to be from southern Xinjiang to southwestern Tibet, which has reached its limit. Although the war on the Korean battlefield in the Northeast has not yet begun, it may be facing the three air forces of the United States, South Korea and Japan, and the air pressure is also very high. Although the US military in the southeast has not moved yet, there are five US aircraft carrier battle groups eyeing it. In addition, the US military has assembled more than 500 third-generation and fourth-generation fighter jets, the pressure on our Southeast War Zone is not small; in the south Tibet, the Southwest Military Region has sent two mountain divisions, and it also needs air force support to gain a foothold." Major General Shi Shaolai introduced.

Regarding the situation facing the PLA, Vice Chairman Liu of course also knew that the PLA is now surrounded by enemies, with the battlefield and defense line stretching for thousands of kilometers. The PLA now has less than 2,000 fighter jets of various types, which is indeed a bit too short of use.

However, the situation facing the Pakistani army is extremely critical. If it is impossible to entangle the Indian and US air forces in air combat and pose a threat to the Pakistani ground forces, then once the Pakistani army's elite armored forces in the Atak area is lost, it will be quite dangerous to lose the Independent First Armored Brigade and the Independent Third Armored Division Islamabad.

"Chairman Liu, I have an immature opinion," said Major General Zhu Shaolai, the head of the General Staff Intelligence Department, and said, "The Persian Air Force still has more than 80 Flying Dragon fighters that cannot be hidden. If the Persians can be said to send troops this time, then our People's Liberation Army J-20 Flying Regiment should be enough to compete with the US fighter jets from the Persian Gulf."

"No, let alone whether the Persians will agree to participate in the war. Even if they are willing to participate in the war now, due to our design restrictions, the Pakistani land-based radar warning system is consistent with the PLA. However, the Persian Air Force's JF-11 fighter jets cannot seamlessly connect with the Pakistani ground-based radar to exchange data. Its fighter combat system must be modified to be able to access the Pakistani ground-based radar warning system. If the JF-11 is relied on the JF-11 local radar fire control system alone, the Persian military's JF-11 fighter jets cannot compete with the US F/A-18 Super Bumblebee, let alone the F-15E/F." Lieutenant General Cai Junkai, deputy commander of the Air Force, shook his head and said.

As one of the leaders of the counterpart Persian Fighter Sales Negotiation Group, Cai Junkai is certainly very clear about the transaction between the People's Liberation Army and the Persian Air Force. The Fighter combat system owned by the Persian military is also a simplified version of the theater joint combat system. The number of cluster combat aircraft that can be formed is much smaller than the systems used by the Pakistani army. Of course, this is not a big problem when facing fighter jets such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet or F-15E/F. If you can form a cluster combat of more than 4 to 1 in local airspace, the Fighter fleet will be able to win.

After hearing Zhu Shaolai's suggestion, Vice Chairman Liu's eyes lit up just now, and Cai Junkai poured a basin of cold water into his head.

"I have a solution to the problem mentioned by Deputy Commander Cai," said General Yang Jianguo, the chief assembly, suddenly. "We are unlikely to transform the Persian Air Force's JF-10 fighter jets one by one in a short period of time to adapt to it. However, we can change the existing interface of the Pakistani Air Force's JF-2000 air warning aircraft. Allowing the Persian Air Force's JF-10 fighter jets to access it can solve the problem of radar warning and command. Because the Persian Air Force's JF-10 fighter jets originally used our Air Guard-200 air warning aircraft and ground radar systems, there will be no problem between the Air Guard-200 and Air Guard-2000 in terms of interface compatibility."

Hearing this, the generals present all looked very excited. A originally whimsical idea seemed to be technically possible. Now, as long as the Persian military agrees to send its precious fighter jets to the war, the Pakistani army is likely to survive this difficulty in peace.

When Vice Chairman Liu thought of this, he made up his mind.

The PLA's request was quickly passed to the Supreme Command of the Persian military. Regarding the unexpected request of the PLA, the Persian military quickly divided it into two factions, one of which agreed to immediately send Xiaolong fighter jets to assist the war.

The reasons for the pro-war faction are also very sufficient: Persia and the Pakistani army are now very close, and they are both poisoned by the US military. Persia and Pakistan are now in a state of ally. Not to mention that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the air force faster, the Persian military sent a large number of pilots to station in Islamabad for combat training of the new Xiaolong and J-10P fighter jets. Not long ago, it also participated in the air battle between the Pakistani army against the US military. Although the Persians rarely sacrificed some pilots, the surviving Persian pilots became the new seed of hope for the Persian Air Force. Their experience of flying the new Xiaolong or J-10P fighter jets with the US military has long dispelled the myth of invincibility of the US military. So now helping the Pakistani army is actually helping itself.

But the opposition also has sufficient reasons: now the Persians are only left with this group of FFRF fighter jets to maintain the last dignity of the air. If this number of FFRF fighter jets is exhausted, Persian airspace will let the US military steer. In terms of the current situation of the Pakistani army, they are already unable to take care of themselves. Although the new FFRF and J-10P fighter jets are powerful, the Pakistani army will never be able to provide new fighter jets on time in accordance with the contract when they are attacked. Therefore, this is the last little asset of the Persian air force in recent years and must be kept on the blade.

Faced with the differences within the Persians, Vice Chairman Liu saw the inner confusion of the Persians in his receiving obscure replies sent back by their military officers in China. After on-site consultations by several bigwigs of the Military Commission, Vice Chairman Liu promised the Persians that Persian airspace security would be protected by the People's Liberation Army Air Force just like Pakistani airspace security! This promise is almost like reaching a new military alliance with the Persians.

Although the two sides have not signed a written agreement, the Persian president finally made up his mind to post the best opportunity to the People's Liberation Army. Although Persia is also unable to protect itself, this especially shows the Persians' sincerity in time-seeking. Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, it would be worth it to win the Persians' protection of the People's Liberation Army in the future.
