Chapter 961 The end is also the beginning (1)
Not long after Lu Jiadong arrived in Islamabad, Bukin also arrived in Pakistan. The two immediately discussed secretly with the Pakistani president for three days. As for the specific content, no one knew. However, on the day when the three people had secretly talked, Pakistan, which received Chinese equipment assistance, formed the Fifth Mountain Brigade on the Kashmir frontline.
Two days later, the 5th Mountain Brigade, equipped with the Type 78 assault rifle, Type 82 mortar, Type 86 portable bazooka, Type 85 light grenade launcher, Type 88 light tank and Type 89 light 122mm howitzer produced by China, launched a counterattack on the invading Indian army with the support of more than 20 Soviet-made Mi-17 helicopters.
Thanks to the consistent lightweight, convenient and fierce firepower of China's equipment, Pakistan's Fifth Mountain Brigade adopted a close combat method, which not only offset the aviation advantages of the Indian army, but also greatly injured the Indian infantry with significantly weaker firepower than its own. Then more than 20 Mi-17s were lifted with more than 20 Type 89 light 122mm howitzers quickly seized both sides of the bottom of the Indian army's Bijing valley, and used fierce firepower to block the valley passages. The 234th Mountain Regiment under the jurisdiction of the Third Mountain Brigade of India, which was not in time to retreat in the future was annihilated in one fell swoop.
Pakistan's turnaround in Kashmir shocked the whole country of India. The tough Indian government was unwilling to be defeated. On the one hand, it strengthened the Third Front Army deployed on the western border, and on the other hand, it continued to increase troops to Kashmir, preparing to find the lost ground.
But just as India had just transferred two elite mountain brigades to Kashmir, China suddenly held a large-scale live-fire confrontation exercise on the plateau. India had few modern mountain troops in its hands, and most of them were deployed on the Sino-Indian border. India originally thought that China had no time to split into the western border area due to the pressure on the southeast coast, but it did not expect that China would not only support Pakistan in full regard to the severe situation in the southeast, but also carried out large-scale military exercises.
As long as you are blind, you can see that China's exercises can become a military operation to attack India with a slight change of direction. India has not been able to erase the shadow of the Sino-Indian self-defense counterattack in 1962. Therefore, after seeing the reaction of the Chinese army, India had to redirect the mountain troops transferred to Kashmir back to the Sino-Indian border.
As a result, India and Pakistan have fallen into a state of confrontation in Kashmir, and India can no longer sit still, because at the moment of turbulent international situation, India is also in a turbulent state. The reason why this Indian government is tough is that it has considered to divert domestic conflicts through foreign military actions.
Because of this, the victory of the quick battle is the most beneficial to the Indian government. But now the two countries are in a confrontation, the Indian government is in a dilemma. In desperation, they can only suppress the domestic opposition forces and seek help from major Western military powers. But how can Western weapons and equipment be so easy to get? So they waited for India to jump one by one, and the harsh conditions made India miserable.
On the other hand, Pakistan is quite satisfied with this confrontation. Although it is a great burden to national strength, it gives Pakistan valuable time. This is exactly what Lu Jiadong wants. So after the situation in South Asia eased slightly, Lu Jiadong rushed to the stormy Soviet Union......
"Lu, you know the conditions, money, status, honor, everything about the Americans, they will blink their eyelids..."
In a simple and spacious country house outside Moscow, a blazing fire illuminated half of the room, and also reflected Bukin's pale face red. He took a sip of the vodka in his hand, and then looked at Lu Jiadong opposite him with a playful look:
"But what about you? In addition to sanitary napkins, dog-skin hats, and kettles are low-quality electronic imitations. I admit that the Soviet people now need these things very much, but the problem is that what you want is not proportional to what you pay. You must know that your appetite is not smaller than that of the West."
Bujing is right, Lu Jiadong's appetite is indeed quite good. You should know that during this trip to the Soviet Union, China was divided into two groups. The official delegation with Liu Haotian as the core, took the J-8 ⅱ improvement project as the entry point to covet the advanced aviation manufacturing technology of the Soviet Union; while the "civilians" mainly composed of Luo Haoluo Fatty, wandered in the Baltic Sea and Ukraine, actively sought the introduction of naval platforms and related advanced technologies.
Naturally, China's actions could not be hidden from the eyes of the Soviets. However, on the one hand, the Soviet Union is in a turbulent situation, and with only one breath, survival is obviously more important; on the other hand, the two countries formed good friendships during the honeymoon period in the 1950s, especially the older generation of technicians. Many of them had a teacher-student friendship with Soviet experts, and were more easily accepted in their relationship.
Because of this, the two teams led by Liu Haotian and Luo Hao made great progress in the Soviet Union. After snatching talents, technology and platforms, they both gained a lot. However, this aroused the vigilance of the West, and thus put pressure on pro-Western forces, hoping to force China to withdraw from this feast of collapse of the Soviet Union.
The pro-Western forces that had long dismantled the Soviet Union naturally followed the master's orders and directly cut off China's technology acquisition channels without saying a word. This also led to the forced interruption of the J-8 ⅱ improvement project jointly with MiG. A modern-class missile destroyer and two Kriwak-class missile frigates platform were stranded in the Baltic shipyard.
As for the transfer of nuclear submarine technology just now, the introduction of strategic bomber finished products, and the purchase of aircraft carrier information of Black Sea Shipyards, it has been postponed indefinitely. Seeing that China's introduction project was about to be suspended, Lu Jiadong immediately found his old friend Bujing. So after Bujing said this, Lu Jiadong smiled slightly:
"The life of aristocrats is not necessarily suitable for everyone, but what the general public wants may be the ambition of some people. I just don't know, Mr. Bujing, which type of people do you belong to?"
Bukin smiled and shrugged: "My old friend, don't I look like a noble?"
Lu Jiadong smiled and shook his head: "You are not a noble at all, but a tough guy who is like a fake one!"
“Hahaha~~~~”
When Bujing heard this, he laughed loudly, then reached out and patted Lu Jiadong on the shoulder, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the person who really understands me was you!"
There is no other person in this world except me. What kind of person is you, Bujing, in your heart. Lu Jiadong was shouting in his heart, but his face remained unchanged:
"I realized it when you were in Iraq, but this trip to the Soviet Union was even more confirmed."
Bujing was not surprised by Lu Jiadong's words, because Lu Jiadong has shocked him so much over the past period of time, so he had no doubt at all. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and drank the vodka in it, and then asked directly:
"How can you help me?"
"Become the future President of Russia!"
"How sure?"
"More than 70%!"
"Aren't you lying to me?"
"I guarantee it with my life!"
Lu Jiadong said it firmly, thinking that even if your buddy does nothing, you will become the future president of Russia, and you will be the one who has done it for twenty years. It is precisely because of this reliance that Lu Jiadong makes such a waste of money and makes no effort to make a fortune.
But Bujing didn't know what Lu Jiadong really thought. Seeing Lu Jiadong make such a guarantee, he was already happy. You should know that Lu Jiadong rarely guarantees anything in front of outsiders, and once he makes any guarantee, he will definitely complete it, no matter what the price he pays.
Messi in the Battle of Horse Island and Mohammed in the Gulf War were all like this, so Bujing believes that since Lu Jiadong has finished speaking, he will definitely help him, and this is exactly what he wants. Because of this, the smile on Bujing's face finally changed from professional coping to sincerity from the heart, and nodded:
"Since that's the case, I promise you to mobilize my relationship and help you fight those damn Russian traitors. However, you also know that we are evenly matched with them, and in the end, no one may be able to do anything to anyone. By then, you, the behind-the-scenes pushers will be playing head-on!"
"As long as you make a deadlock, as for the other party's behind the scenes, I will deal with it myself." Lu Jiadong didn't drag on it and nodded directly, but Bujing was a little worried:
"I heard that person is very difficult to get along with."
Lu Jiadong nodded with a smile: "There is no way, who can make people soar now?"
"You know?"
Lu Jiadong looked at the sunset outside the window silently and sighed meaningfully: "I'm an old friend..."
.........
"If I were you, I wouldn't be here again. To be honest, Lu, I really don't want our friendship to be ended like this..."
Two months later, when the Soviet red flag with a sickle and hammer sagged from the top of the Kremlin tower, everyone was shocked, in a Swiss resort, Bromberg looked at Lu Jiadong, who was also calm opposite him with a calm face:
"My letter has been written very clearly. I will never agree to your conditions. Listen to my advice, my dear Lu, don't get stuck in the Chinese military system, come out and see, this world has been dominated by the West, and the Soviet Union has been like this, so what can China do? Dear Lu, I really don't want your talent to be tied to a ship that is destined to sink, even if it seems that the ship is still relatively large now!"
