Dominate South Asia

Chapter 695 Nuclear Deterrence

The photo shows an aircraft carrier formation, with the angled-deck aircraft carrier in the middle, surrounded by other destroyer formations. After rubbing his eyes, Bush realized that this should be a Pakistani naval formation, but what are those ships on the right side of the formation?

The satellite pictures were taken from the top down, which looks very difficult. Only professional and trained people can interpret them. Bush was able to see these warships at a glance because he had served in the US Navy and often looked down from the sky.

"This is a Pakistani naval formation, with the USS Endeavour as the core." William said: "In addition to Pakistan's destroyers and frigates joining the formation, there are four landing ships in this formation."

There are four more landing ships! If it is an ordinary formation, it can be said to be an exercise training. Now, there are even landing ships. What do the Pakistanis want to do?

"In which sea area was it found?" Bush asked.

"In the Bay of Bengal in the eastern waters of India, more than 200 nautical miles away from Visakhapatnam."

More than 200 nautical miles! Even at a cruising speed of more than ten knots, it can arrive within a day. What do the Pakistanis want to do?

Richard Hayes, assistant to the National Security Affairs Assistant, suddenly reacted: "The Pakistanis want to occupy Visakhapatnam!"

Visakhapatnam is an important port city in eastern India and the headquarters of the Indian Eastern Fleet. After the occupation of Kolkata, this city is the most important outlet to the sea. If this city is also occupied, the eastern Indian waters and the entire Bay of Bengal will all belong to Pakistan!

A typical idea of ​​controlling land with sea, Pakistan will fight a landing operation. Destroy the Indian navy and occupy this city at the same time!

Damn it, when the United States is busy with the affairs in the Middle East, Pakistan is making trouble at this time!

"The Pakistanis are definitely not just occupying Kolkata. Their overall strategic intention is to completely occupy India!" Bush Sr. also expressed his judgment.

A few days ago, they occupied Kolkata and kept saying that they were collecting debts as collateral. Now they want to occupy Visakhapatnam again. This is the rhythm of destroying India!

Visakhapatnam is different from Kolkata. It is located in central India, where the princely states are active. The Hyderabad princely state has actually become independent, and the surrounding small princely states are watching. Visakhapatnam has several divisions of force that can suppress rebellions in various places. If the Indian army here is destroyed, the entire central and southern India will fall into chaos.

The Pakistanis will definitely do this!

"We must stop them!" Bush made the decision almost immediately. Now India's weak military strength cannot compete with Pakistan at all. Just look at the war in Kolkata. The Pakistanis occupied the city with almost no effort, and India did not even have the ability to counterattack.

"Mr. President, the topic we just discussed is to increase troops to the Gulf region." Defense Secretary Cheney interrupted him.

Although the US defense policy is set to win two local wars at the same time, in fact, when facing a powerful country. The US military strength is still not enough. Iraq alone is enough to give Americans a headache. If they go to war with Pakistan, it will be crazy.

What's wrong with the president? Doesn't he consider the actual situation? I have to say that Muhammad is so good at finding time.

"We don't have to directly participate in the war in South Asia." Bush said: "We need to export a large amount of arms to India and support the Indian army. Let them have the ability to drive away the Pakistanis!"

After a pause, Bush continued: "Export them 100 fighters, 500 tanks, and retired warships from our navy..."

"I'm sorry." Bush's words have not been finished yet, and Nicholas Brady, the Secretary of the Treasury, finally interrupted the president. What's wrong with the president? So excited when talking about war? Doesn't he consider the actual situation?

"Our military expenditure this year has exceeded $300 billion. Some people in Congress have suggested ending military operations in the Middle East. If we export a large number of weapons to India, it will be a huge expense. Congress will not agree with us to do so."

The United States is really poor this year. The Gulf War has been fought so hard that it has almost sold its pants. Let alone the bombing of the Doha military camp a few days ago, the pensions for the dead soldiers and the subsidies for the disabled soldiers will be an astronomical figure. The domestic economic situation has not improved. Iraq alone is enough to cause headaches. We have to open a new thread to support India and Pakistan. This is simply impossible.

"We fought Iraq and there were so many dead soldiers. The people can still accept it. If we support India again, I'm sorry, Mr. President, I'm afraid I can't sit in this position of finance minister. Please invite someone else." Nicholas looked helpless.

The days of Western European countries taking advantage of the situation are over. Except for Britain which is still supporting the United States, other countries are just watching from the sidelines. I'm afraid those present know what these European guys are planning. As the threat from the Soviet Union has eased, they are increasingly unwilling to see the United States dominate the Western world. If the U.S. economy suffers great damage in this war, the Europeans will probably be secretly happy, right?

At this time, go and support India! Isn't the president's idea a little too naive?

"It seems that we have only one way." Bush clenched his fists at this time, with veins popping out: "In order to give an explanation to the country, we must end the war quickly. At this time, we should use some unconventional methods. It’s a trick!”

Looking at Bush gnashing his teeth, Defense Secretary Cheney first understood: "Mr. President, are you going to use nuclear weapons?"

nuclear weapon! The main function of nuclear weapons is nuclear deterrence! Especially for countries without nuclear weapons, now it is time for the United States to use this nuclear deterrent capability, whether against Iraq or Pakistan!

Hearing Bush Sr's words, everyone's body was shocked. Using nuclear weapons, even if it is just nuclear deterrence, the level of war will rise!

Nuclear weapons can only be possessed by the five permanent members of the Security Council. At the same time, during the Cold War, the dark cloud of nuclear weapons has been shrouding the world. Once a nuclear war breaks out, the entire earth will usher in its darkest moment.

Therefore, a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union will not break out. The main function of nuclear weapons is deterrence. Now, it is easier to use nuclear weapons to deter a country without nuclear weapons.

Bush Sr. is tough. The United States must carry out military occupation of Iraq, no matter what weapons are used! The United States must be tough on Pakistan. Even if it provides India with a nuclear bomb protection umbrella, it cannot allow Pakistan to dismember India!

This is the basic attitude of the United States and cannot be changed!

The United States has the most powerful nuclear weapons in the world. It’s time for these weapons to be put to use!

"Yes, it's our nuclear weapons!" said Bush Sr. "In order to save the blood of our soldiers and to restore peace to the Middle East and South Asia, it's time for us to use unconventional means!"

Bush's considerations also have great practical significance. The United States has indeed spent a lot of money and invested in a war that is like a gamble. Tens of thousands of US military casualties need an explanation from the government to use nuclear weapons to force Iraq to surrender. If Iraq continues to resist, Bush wouldn't mind growing mushrooms in the sky over Iraq. It's not like the United States didn't do this before during World War II!

As for Pakistan, Bush Sr. also made a helpless choice. Pakistan was clearly making trouble for the Americans. Taking advantage of the fact that the United States was too busy in the Middle East and had no time to take into account the affairs of South Asia, it started to invade India in a big way. If India is gone, , the United States will completely lose its strategic advantage in Asia. Bush senior will not sit back and watch all this.

Regarding Pakistan, it is actually more about nuclear deterrence, letting Mhamad stop as soon as he sees fit, and not go too far.

Under the advice of the powerful Bush Sr., the top leaders of the United States passed a resolution. It is time to use the United States' nuclear deterrence capabilities!

Later, White House Chief of Staff John held a press conference.

"We are a country that advocates freedom and civilization. Regarding the two wars in the Middle East and South Asia, we in the United States are very sorry to see sovereign countries being brutally invaded. Kuwait once again fell under Saddam's iron heel, while India , were also invaded by conspiratorial invaders. As a righteous country, we lodged serious protests against the two invaders. We, the United States, will use any means to maintain stability in the Middle East and South Asia, including the use of our nuclear weapons!"

nuclear weapon! John's words immediately sent reporters into a frenzy. After Doha was attacked and Americans died heavily, the whole world was watching how the United States would react. Now, the Americans have dropped nuclear bombs as a deterrent!

What does this mean? Does it mean that the Americans will use nuclear weapons in anger because they admit their complete failure in conventional warfare?

Moreover, the target of US deterrence this time is not only the Middle East, but also South Asia! Just now during the Gulf War, the United States was on good terms with Pakistan and organized a coalition. Now, will the United States turn against Pakistan and be disadvantageous to Pakistan? Although John did not mention Pakistan, everyone with a discerning eye knows that India has been invaded by conspiratorial invaders. Of course, this invader refers to Pakistan!

The news quickly spread around the world. (To be continued ~^~)
