Dominate South Asia

There are mountains covered with snow all around. Although it is summer now, the snow here has not melted due to the altitude. Most areas are above 4,000 meters above sea level, and many peaks are above 8,000 meters above sea level.

In the center of these mountains are the beautiful Kashmir Valley and Jammu Plain. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and nourished by the alpine climate, the scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. Under the high temperature of more than 40 degrees in South Asia, this is a holy place for summer vacation.

The snow water from the Himalayas melts and flows down, forming the Dal Lake in this valley. The lake water is vast and clear. The scenery here is extraordinary, and the people living here are leisurely enjoying everything brought by nature.

Farmland, herdsmen, sheep, and bonfires in the village all represent that this is a peaceful world, which is simply a paradise on earth! However, everyone who lives here knows that it is not peaceful here.

Because this is the Kashmir region, one of the four major powder kegs in the world!

Before World War II, this was a British colony. After the decline of the British Empire, the people in the colonial areas became independent. When the British Empire left, it left a lot of tails. For example, in the Kashmir region, the British left the troubles and handed them over to the locals to deal with. At that time, the local princes and nobles who represented the landlord class wanted to join India, but more than 80% of the population wanted to join Pakistan because of different doctrines. Whether it was the will of the princes and nobles or the will of the people, history did not give any answer, but it triggered the war between Pakistan and India from then on.

For the Kashmir region, the two sides fought a total of three wars. Due to national strength, Pakistan has always been in a weak position. India controls most of Kashmir and more than 70% of the population, while Pakistan only controls the desolate areas in the northwest.

Until now, India still claims full sovereignty over the entire Kashmir region. Under such circumstances, the conflict between the two sides is still inevitable.

In eastern Kashmir, Keberlu, a small town on the border of the Line of Actual Control of Pakistan.

This is a quiet town. More than a decade has passed since the war in 1971. People here have resumed their previous lives. When the sun shines over the snow-capped mountains in the east, people here start another day of work.

At the border post, Pakistani soldier Jiang Zongpa looked at the distance vigilantly. Just a hundred meters opposite him was the Indian post. The two sides often stared at each other with their eyes, and the flames of hatred were burning. If there were no military orders, they would have gone up to beat each other.

Today, it was very strange. No soldiers from the other side showed their heads in the post opposite. What were they doing? Are they sleeping late?

"Boom, boom." At this moment, there was a vibration from the ground. Jiang Zongpa looked over with his sunglasses and saw a tank coming from the opposite side.

PT-76 amphibious tank! Although this tank is a tank from the 1950s, it is very suitable for fighting in mountainous areas due to its light weight. In all previous India-Pakistan conflicts, this tank has played a good role.

Battles in the mountains are almost all filled with human lives. A few tanks can be used to attack and serve as fortresses, and they also have a psychological deterrent effect on the enemy.

Seeing such a tank coming, Jiang Zongpa's heart suddenly became nervous: "Alert, red alert!"

He shouted loudly, wanting to greet other people in the outpost. At this time, the barrel of the tank had slowly stood up.

There was a flash of fire on the muzzle, and a 76mm grenade flew over, pointing directly at the outpost behind him.

"Boom!" The shell flew over, and the outpost behind flew into the sky in the explosion of the shell.

"Squad leader!" Jiang Zongpa immediately reacted that it was the Indians who provoked the incident! Faced with the active provocation of the Indians, he had no room for compromise!

Picking up the rifle in his hand, Jiang Zongpa began to shoot at the tank opposite.

"Bang, bang, bang." Bullets were flying. Although this light tank could not withstand the shooting of armor-piercing bullets, it had no problem with withstanding the shooting of bullets from this light weapon.

The bullets hit the tank's armor and bounced off with sparks. Jiang Zongpa watched the tank getting closer and closer, but he had no ability to stop it.

"Boom, boom." The tank continued to move forward. Jiang Zongpa threw down his rifle, picked up two grenades, and rushed towards the tank.

"Da da da." The tank's machine gun swept over, and Jiang Zongpa was shot down by the machine gun before he rushed to the front of the tank.

He looked at the tracks of the tank in front of him, and used up the last bit of his strength to pull the ring of the grenade.

"Boom!" Jiang Zongpa and the grenade were blown to pieces together. The tank was also impacted in the explosion, and the thin armor was torn apart.

Behind the tank, countless Indian soldiers rushed over.

They stepped on the bodies of Pakistanis and set foot on the border post. The leading Indian company commander looked at the rolling mountains and countless posts with a wandering look in his eyes: "The entire Kashmir region belongs to us, India!"

Several Indian squads, with the fire support of light tanks, easily captured several Pakistani posts, and the flames of war were rekindled.

Islamabad, Presidential Palace.

Everyone was very serious and hurried around. When they met, they just said hello and hurried over. Everyone was so busy that the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Now, Pakistan was on the verge of a conflict with the Soviets on the western border. Large-scale air battles with more than ten fighter planes broke out several times. Pakistan was under the greatest pressure from the West.

At the same time, something unexpected happened in the east. The Indians discovered the tense situation in the west of Pakistan, so they started to make trouble again.

They seized more than a dozen outposts in Pakistan and formed a siege on Keberu. What did the Indians want to do?

An emergency meeting was held in the hall on the third floor of the Presidential Palace. Zia-ul-Haq looked at the important generals below with a heavy face.

"We now need to judge the Indians' movements and decide our next move." Zia-ul-Haq said: "Our Pakistani territory is sacred and inviolable!"

In several wars, Pakistan has always been at a disadvantage. It has lost territory in many battles. Last time, it even lost East Pakistan. Now, as a president who was born in the military, Zia-ul-Haq absolutely does not want to lose an inch of land again.

"Yes, our land is sacred and inviolable!" The Minister of Defense followed up: "But now we have to take into account the movements of the Soviets. The Western Front has already made us very tight. If we get into a fight on the Eastern Front under the premise that a large-scale conflict is about to break out on the Western Front, then we will be very passive."

This is exactly what everyone is worried about. If it is just against India, Pakistan will use all its national strength to fight India, and it will also need Eastern countries to contain India in order to barely draw a tie. Now, fighting on the East and West Fronts, Pakistan simply cannot face two powerful enemies at the same time.

"What should we do? Watch the Indians gradually erode our outposts and approach us step by step?" said the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"It's all because of the Western Front. If our air force hadn't clashed with the Soviets, we would have only supported Afghanistan. The war took place on Afghan soil, but now the flames of war are about to burn to our territory." The Minister of Defense said, "The Peshawar Military Region bears serious responsibility for dereliction of duty."

Hearing the words of the Minister of Defense, Air Force Commander Nur-Khan's face suddenly changed. Now, the situation is very bad. In this case, the Minister of Defense still wants to find a scapegoat. It must be Muhammad.

"If our air force does not resist, then the Soviet planes will keep crossing the border and bombing our territory. How can we explain to our people?" Nur-Khan said, "In order to protect our airspace, the Peshawar Military Region has not failed in any way."

Although the position of the Minister of Defense is higher than that of the Air Force Commander, Nur-Khan is already very old and has great prestige in the army. He is not afraid of Murvef even if he quarrels with him and blows his beard and glares at him.

"But now, the Soviets may launch a large-scale attack on our border. The Soviets have millions of troops. How can we fight them?" Murvef said: "If the Western Front was not so tense, how could we sit here and discuss when the Indians occupied more than a dozen of our outposts, instead of launching a counterattack immediately to retake the outposts?"

"Okay, stop talking." Zia-ul-Haq finally couldn't help but slammed the table. Murvef's last words made Zia-ul-Haq angry. If the Western Front was not tense, how could we discuss countermeasures here instead of counterattacking immediately!

"Report, Muhammad, Chief of Staff of the Peshawar Military Region, came to the Presidential Palace to report on his work." At this time, a secretary came in and said to Zia-ul-Haq.

The recent situation in Peshawar made Zia-ul-Haq very concerned. He personally asked Muhammad to come over. Who knew that the order had just been issued, and something happened on the Eastern Front, so he came to the meeting. Muhammad happened to come during this time.

"Let him come in." Zia-ul-Haq said.

Muhammad's status is not enough to attend a meeting of this level, but Muhammad is already a brigadier general in terms of military rank, and Nur Khan has recommended Muhammad to join the Air Force Command and become the Air Force Chief of Staff. It is reasonable for him to attend the current meeting. Moreover, the most important thing is that in the current Pakistani army, Muhammad has the most combat experience, and Zia-ul-Haq values ​​Muhammad very much.
