Chapter 1673 The Darkness Before Dawn

Just when Surman was going to arrange for his stretched MiG-19 fighter to take off, at another airport more than 100 kilometers away, two F-16A Fighting Falcons and a Phantom Three EP fighter were also preparing for the takeoff.

After several days of search and evaluation of details, both the Pakistan Railway and the Chinese side have confirmed that Chen Kangjie and his friends have entered the territory of Nistan, Afghanistan.

In fact, before they made this clear judgment, the Pakistani Railway and the Chinese side had already tried to communicate with the Bachelor's side through some channels, but the process was not smooth. At the beginning, they could not contact each other. Later, they finally received a reply from their diplomatic department. According to their words, they had no contact or intersection with LONG, nor did they find any signs and evidence of entering Nistan, Afghanistan. The diplomatic department also said that they did not know anything about the terrorist attack in Blushabro, and the Pakistani Railway did not inform them of the situation.

Because they have no relationship and don’t know, then they have no way to talk about participating in helping find Chen Kangjie and the others’ whereabouts. It’s all right. What makes people feel that there is no money here is that they have repeatedly warned foreign troops and citizens not to enter the territory of Nistan without permission, otherwise it will cause ruthless blows and revenge, and they will not allow such disrespect and provocation to exist.

Since the Bachelor of Science has obtained the actual regime of Nistan, Afghanistan, he expressed dissatisfaction and anger for their non-cooperation and excuses, both China and Pakistani Railway, but it is difficult to take a further tough stance without conclusive evidence.

The outside world is calm about Chen Kangjie's disappearance. This is the result of the Pakistan Railway and China's efforts to block the news, but at the top management, they are already sweating urgently.

Chen Kangjie happened in Pakistan, so in terms of responsibility, Pakistan Railway must assume the first responsibility. They did not fulfill their responsibilities to protect them. In this regard, Pakistan Railway must be anxious because Chen Kangjie is not an ordinary person. He is not only an internationally renowned person, but more importantly, the entire top leaders of China are very nervous and protected him. On the third day after the incident, there was a military in China. A high-level delegation composed of intelligence and diplomatic departments quietly came to Pakistan Railway.

There is no fault in China, but as far as Chen Kangjie is concerned, they have responsibility and realistic needs to rescue Chen Kangjie. No matter how much effort it is made, this is what Wei Zhonghua and the Prime Minister of Pakistan bluntly said to the Prime Minister of Pakistan when they were on the phone.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Chen Kangjie is just a big star, and is amazing, but in the consciousness of several senior Chinese leaders, it is not only that. Chen Kangjie plays a major and irreplaceable role in promoting cultural exchanges and understanding between China and the West, promoting domestic economic development and stability, and even in some strategic interests outside the country. This is a practical test result. Even as a young man, he cannot ignore the future historical achievements of the country. Whether in Zhao Zhibang or Wei Zhonghua, even if he does not have personal preferences and feelings, based on his position and the historical responsibility he bears, they have sufficient reasons to ensure Chen Kangjie's safety.

But as Wei Zhonghua said, no matter how much effort he puts in, he must rescue Chen Kangjie. He did not say "no matter how much price he paid", there is a big difference. They will definitely do their best to do what they should do, but they will not break through many historical operational boundaries.

This is related to the diplomatic strategy and development path that China has always upheld. We always claim to be a gentleman who is absolutely peaceful and will not intervene in the affairs of other countries. All contradictions and disputes are resolved through peaceful negotiations and communication. This is equivalent to a tight curse that firmly shackles China's means of handling foreign affairs.

To make an assumption, if Chen Kangjie was an American, I am afraid that the US special forces would have already entered the territory of Nistan, Afghanistan, and there would be so much nonsense. The United States is highly realistic. As long as they think what they want to do is necessary and beneficial to the national interests of the United States, they don’t care even if they trampled on international law. However, China cannot do it. China must be cautious and maintain its friendly international image that it has established for many years.

It is really hard to say whether China is right or wrong. From the perspective of current national relations and national interests, this approach of keeping a low profile and not leaving the country is right. It can gain a lot of recognition and favorability from the international community, especially developing countries, and can also eliminate doubts in the Western world to a certain extent. However, when it reaches a certain critical point, this strategy and policy will drag you down.

For example, a few years later, no matter how enduring we are, no matter how friendly and kind we are, those countries that have conflicts of interest with us will still have grudges with us. Western countries that are threatened by our development will still have intentional prejudice against us and take various means to curb us. Especially in terms of territory, our cowardice has caused us to lose many islands and reefs. In the end, these islands and reefs and those that cannot be brought back through friendly negotiations, but these things have become excuses and platforms for others to attack and contain us, which is equivalent to shooting ourselves in the foot.

Forget it, let's not talk about these for now. Back to the topic, these three aircraft belong to the Pakistani military and belong to the 36th Tactical Attack Wing stationed outside the outskirts of Bulushabro. They were dispatched at the strong request of the Chinese side. Their goal was to penetrate west from the northern part of Pakistan into the mountains of Nistan in Afghanistan and search for Chen Kangjie and the others. If they find suspicious, after locking the target, the subsequent C-130 Hercules transport aircraft will follow up.

The reason why I delayed so many days was that I was waiting for a contingent led by Zheng Jun to arrive from Christmas Island.

If Chen Kangjie is determined to be in the mountainous areas of northeastern Afghanistan, then to rescue them and dispatch ground troops is an inevitable choice. However, on this issue, both China and Pakistan have some concerns. Afghanistan Nistan is a neighboring country and borders with China. It is considered a neighboring country. Whether it is the regular troops of China or the regular troops of Pakistan, it will not only cause border instability and a series of rebounds, but will even complicate the contradictions and escalate them into international affairs. This is a result that no one wants to obtain. After all, in international relations, if a country's army enters other countries' territory without permission, it can be regarded as invasion and attack, and it will trigger conflicts or even wars at any time.

Since the regular armies of both countries cannot enter Afghanistan under the current circumstances, they must send people in, then Zheng Jun and the others have become the only choice.

As soon as the Bulushabro bombing occurred, Ouyang Zhenhua obtained the news that when he was discussing countermeasures with the country, he did not forget Zheng Jun and the others on Christmas Island. As soon as Zheng Jun knew that Chen Kangjie was attacked by a bomb, he was missing and his life and death was unknown, he immediately asked for support from the local area.

However, if they come to travel with bare hands, of course there is no problem, but if they still carry a large number of weapons and equipment, it will not be easy. There are too many relationships and thresholds to be opened and coordinated. It was not until the Pakistan Railway estimated that the relationship between China was relaxed, and they landed in a military port in southern Pakistan by sea, and then arrived at Bulushabro by land.

In the past, they had to get Chen Kangjie's instructions and approval to put this kind of military action into practice. But now that Chen Kangjie has lost contact, they have great autonomy. It can be said that even Ouyang Zhenhua, who has provided funds and support all year round, cannot control their people. What Ouyang Zhenhua can do, but instead helps them actively coordinate and apply.

Since Chen Kangjie purchased sea helicopters from China, domestic military executives knew that Chen Kangjie would have a security force on Christmas Island, but when they heard about the equipment they reported, they were still surprised. This was not an ordinary security force, it was simply a well-trained elite special forces.

Since their regular army cannot go, then Zheng Jun and the others are the only choice. Anyway, they are not affiliated with any country or any regime. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of private mercenaries. Even if they are discovered and even if they cause conflict, they will at least have no direct relationship with China.

The reason why Bahrain sent F-16A and Phantom III was to consider that it did not stimulate the perspective of the Theosopher. Phantom III could act as a reconnaissance aircraft to a certain extent. They could fly at low altitudes, sweep at high speed and climb up at high altitudes, which could avoid the simple air defense radar and bottom-side detection of the Theosopher, and chose to fly north first and then turn westward. It was because Afghan Nistan was almost blank in the prevention and control of that direction, and it was difficult to discover and define the ownership with manpower.

In order to get rid of the pursuers who were chasing him desperately, Chen Kangjie and his team made a difficult journey on the muddy mountain road. Fortunately, two horses were carrying Alyosha and Wang Wei, otherwise they would be in danger of being caught up by this group of locals who were proficient in mountain combat.

"Captain, just blindly escaping is not a solution. These mud legs are chasing them so tightly. Will you hit them again and suppress them the speed?" On the dark mountain, facing the bitter cold wind, Tan Jun said to Xiong Ziqiang with sweat on his head.
