Chapter 919 Total War
Fighters are not like ordinary products. Various flight tests are indispensable before delivery, so there are more than ten fighter jets that have not been delivered in Hongxing’s hangar.
With Fan Yi's approval, Xu Ziling immediately prepared to invest in eight more flying eagles and add the shadow dragon on the side of the sword.
In terms of quantity, they still cannot compare with A San's Air Force fighter jets, but in terms of combat effectiveness, there is no problem.
With the stealth performance of the flying eagle and the satellite-guided air-to-air missiles, they can launch attacks on enemy aircraft dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away, and use high combat power to counter the number, which is no problem.
When the opponent loses air superiority, the ground will have precise strikes from cruise missiles. In this case, if the Pakistani ground troops still cannot handle A San's ground troops, it would be better if such a war is not fought.
Fan Yi's movements were very fast, and Xu Ziling confirmed that in order to save time, he immediately issued an order to the Jiangnan Military Region to transfer corresponding pilots and crew from the 81st Division.
This result is the best for Xu Ziling. After all, in the country, the people from the 81st Division are the first to come into contact with the flying eagle. In terms of operational technology, they are also the most familiar.
Just when the outside world was still suspicious, the firefight between Pakistan and Asan in the Kashmir region suddenly began to violently begin.
Just half a month after the second batch of Red Star Flying Eagles arrived in Pakistan, the joint force of Pakistani Air Force and Red Star Fighter attacked the A-San controlled area in the disputed area less than an hour in the morning, including three missile bases, two military camps, and dozens of targets, including power supply, causing thick smoke to vent in the area hundreds of kilometers deep.
In Kashmir, there have been several major wars between Pakistan and Afghanistan in more than half a century, and there are countless small-scale frictions. Since last year, the atmosphere between the two sides has become tense again. However, as the situation develops, many people think that this time will be like many confrontations in the past decade, and will eventually sign a ceasefire agreement with limited time.
But what everyone did not expect was that in such a situation, Ah San would actually get into a bad star like Red Star, and Kashmir region also caused serious consequences due to listening to their actions.
Before, for the four flying eagles that came more than a month ago, they only conducted normal flight training every day. They also guessed whether Ba Guo bought the flying eagle fighter jet from Hongxing. However, when eight of them came again half a month ago, those who speculated felt it was impossible.
No matter how good the relationship between the Celestial Empire and Baguo is, they cannot sell more than a dozen flying eagles to Bafang. If it is one or two, there is still a possibility.
And until the day when the air strike was launched, everyone finally understood.
When the air strike ended, Hongxing held a press conference to announce the cooperation with Pakistan, and everyone became more open.
Countless people lamented that the Heavenly Kingdom is so calculating, and A San is so unlucky.
The fighter jets and all equipment were just rented by Red Star to Pakistan, which means that all this has nothing to do with the Celestial Government. But once the Celestial Kingdom wins this war, it means that not only did they resolve the problem in the Kashmir region, but the Celestial Kingdom also resolved the dispute with Ah San in this area.
Because everyone can see that the two countries, the Celestial Empire and the Ba Kingdom, have seemed to be two brothers in recent years. If the Ba Kingdom wins, it means that the Celestial Empire will win.
And the most unlucky one among them is Ah San.
If there were no incident where their missiles locked the Red Star passenger plane, with Red Star's style, I would not have made excuses to intervene in the Kashmir region. Originally, as long as they were not intervening, with the combat power of both sides, Ah San would have a great chance of defeating Pakistan once a large-scale war occurred. But now Red Star has invested more than ten flying eagles and some weapons that have not yet been announced. Does Ah San still have a chance to win?
The air strike on the first day attacked dozens of targets within a hundreds of kilometers of the disputed area. Judging from such actions, the Pakistani side wanted to completely solve the Kashmir problem this time. Does being able to do such a move mean that they have confidence in winning?
What weapons did Hongxing rent or sell to Pakistan?
Will the space-based weapons be included?
Will Pakistan and Asano go to war in full swing this time?
The San occupied the overlord position of South Asia, which is undeniable to everyone. As for the country of Ba, located in the Nanyang subcontinent, connected to the Middle East in the west, and occupying the position is equally important. Once the two countries go to war, how wide will the influence spread?
West Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and even North Africa will be affected by the battlefields of the two countries, so the war will begin in full swing, which is definitely not something that many people are willing to see.
But judging from the current appearance, how could the two countries give up easily?
Just after the air strike and before Asano made an effective counterattack, many countries around the world made remarks, expressing their concerns about the armed actions between the two countries.
Among them, several countries such as Russia and the United States directly talked to the Presidents of Ah San and Pakistan, saying in their verbal words that both sides should restrain themselves and keep the dispute within a certain range.
Although these countries did not say that once the matter exceeded their expectations, they would send troops to intervene, Ah San and Ba understood.
For Asan, this is definitely not good news, because in terms of national military power, they can surpass Pakistan, but in terms of local forces, they are really dangerous with the blessing of Red Star equipment.
If a full-scale war can be started, then they can use military operations from other places to contain the Kashmir region, but cannot start a full-scale war. How should they fight?
You can't just push all the troops from all over the country into Kashmir.
But for Pakistan, the pressure from several countries is undoubtedly good news.
There is a huge gap between them and Asan, especially in the navy. Once a full-scale war between the sea, land and air begins, they really can't stand it with their own strength. Now that the American and Russians actually say such words, does that mean that the war between the two countries can only be limited to the Kashmir region?
Here, they are still very sure!
At the end of March, the matters at Guader Port were officially handed over. Xu Ziling never intervened in normal commercial operations. This time, it was no exception. It only clarified the importance of the military significance involved in port construction. Then he left it alone and handed it over to the company that took over the port operations.
The company that took over the port this time was not newly established, but the company that assisted in operating the port of Makula.
The company was established because when they were preparing to invest in the port of Markula, Marcusa later changed due to military aid. The company did not dominate the operation of the port of Markula, but only played an auxiliary role. However, it is undeniable that after years of work, they still have some experience in port operations.
The nature of Guadal Port is basically no different from that of the Port of Markura, and it is best for them to be responsible for it.
No matter how the Kashmir region develops, whether the actions at the port have stopped, the railway from Xinjiang Province to the port is nearly 2,000 kilometers, which is a compulsory construction, the port's refineries are also compulsory, and oil pipelines are also required.
All of this is not a pity, when Shipping claimed to be an investment of 10 billion US dollars.
Fortunately, Hongxing now has oil and diamond mines, so there is no shortage of money. Compared with the state-owned enterprise of Shipping, they are even richer and more powerful.
As soon as the company took control of the port, they summoned all department heads with no change positions to increase efforts to build railways, oil refineries, and port large-tonnage deep-water terminals.
Because the oil pipelines and railways involved in Kashmir, the port company issued an announcement that outsiders realized that the reason why Hongxing rented weapons and equipment to Pakistan was not just because their passenger plane was locked by A San's missiles.
Now the whole world is focusing on oil in the Middle East, and the Celestial Empire is no exception, and Red Star is not behind. According to investigations, Red Star has obtained more than 60% of Syria's oil extraction rights by helping the Syrian government forces quell the civil war. Syria has abundant oil reserves. Where is the destination of so much crude oil?
Of course it is the Heavenly Kingdom!
Nowadays, oil transportation is basically through oil tankers. Hongxing now has such a base of crude oil. Once it is transported back to China by sea, it will definitely pass through Malacca. However, once a war occurs, it may be closed. Under such hidden dangers, it is inevitable to choose a channel.
Guader Port is not far from the western part of the Celestial Empire. In order to avoid being pinned by others and to save costs, establishing a transportation pipeline has become the best choice.
However, if this method is implemented, it will definitely involve the Kashmir region. If the problem in this place is not solved, it will definitely be difficult to implement this project based on the relationship between Asan and the Celestial Empire.
What's more, even if it is finally done, the safety of this conveying pipeline must not be high.
In this way, Hongxing’s actions during this period are completely reasonable.
What's wrong with renting some weapons and equipment when it involves the interests of hundreds of billions of dollars?
Like Lao Mi, don’t they often launch all-out wars for oil?
