Chapter 1030 Peace and War

"Come on, let's toast to our seniors Huang Qiang and Zhao Xing for their successful election as academicians!" Li Yuemin stood up and raised his glass.

Lin Xing also echoed: "It is a great joy for our two seniors to be elected as academicians, and it should be made public!"

Li Yuemin and Lin Xing are also students of Liu Tao. They are in the same class as Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, and one class later than Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua.

Li Yuemin majored in engines at Beijing University of Technology. Later, he studied for a master's and doctoral degree under Liu Tao. After graduation, he went to the Automotive Research Institute and has participated in the development of three engines. He is the general manager of one of the engines and is now the director of the Engine Research Institute of the Automotive Research Institute.

Lin Xing was born in a poor family. When he took the college entrance examination, his family was already heavily in debt. There was no place to borrow money and he could not afford to go to college, even the travel expenses. In the end, the village and town people collected some money and finally raised a sum of money for him to go to college. After graduating with a doctorate, he chose to stay in Panshan Research Institute to engage in automation research. Now he is the director of the Automation Research Institute, professor of Southwest Associated University, and dean of the Automation Department.

Li Yuemin and Lin Xing both married and had children in their last year of doctoral studies. They are now both National Outstanding Young Scholars and are on the list of candidates for academicians.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua on their election as academicians.

The New Year fireworks show at this time seemed to be congratulating the two on becoming academicians.

Others all had envy in their eyes.

But they were still quite far away from becoming academicians.

In recent years, Liu Tao has brought out 14 students, and with Chen Weihong, there are 15.

Except for Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen who chose to start their own businesses, the others are either in research institutes or in colleges and universities. Except for Chen Weihong who has not yet graduated, the others have at least a title of professor or researcher.

Among the 15 people, there are already 5 academicians, 4 National Outstanding Young Scholars, and 5 Provincial Outstanding Young Scholars.

Even though Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen started their own businesses and were academicians, they were also professors at Southwest Associated University and taught at the School of Software, with one class per week.

Although Yang Wei also drank, he did not drink too much. As the chief designer of the J-20, he would remain rational even if he drank, so as to avoid saying something he shouldn't say when he was drunk, which would lead to leaks.

The students were having a dinner party, while Liu Tao's family was enjoying the fireworks show of Southwest Associated University.

This year's fireworks show of Southwest Associated University was particularly grand. Not only students from Southwest Associated University, but also students from surrounding universities came to watch the fireworks show.

The two children clapped their hands excitedly. The two who were already in the first grade still seemed to love playing.

Liu Tao and Zhu Lin held hands and enjoyed the fireworks show together.

The scene of prosperity and splendor.

It was almost 10 o'clock before they went back.

Just after returning home, Liu Tao's mobile phone rang. Liu Tao answered the call and then went to the study.

He opened his notebook, opened his mailbox, and looked at the detailed information.

"India and Pakistan are fighting again!" Liu Tao raised his eyebrows.

As the two largest countries in the South Asian subcontinent, the two sides maintain a balance of power. There are constant frictions at ordinary times, but there has been no war for more than ten years.

India maintains a large-scale conventional army to deal with its neighbors. It has no good relationship with its neighbors, and it also bullies them. It is not strong enough, which makes it seem like a loser and a playful person.

Now, a new round of war has broken out.

The Indus River is the main river in Pakistan and an important source of agricultural irrigation water in Pakistan. Before the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indus River was second only to the Ganges River and was the greeting and commercial center of the region. The total length of the river is 2,900 to 3,200 kilometers. Indian civilization is also one of the earliest major civilizations in the world to enter agricultural civilization and settled society.     The entire Indus River basin covers an area of ​​1.1655 million square kilometers, of which 453,250 square kilometers are located in the Himalayas and its foothills, and the rest are in the semi-arid plains of Pakistan. The Indus River originates from the Shiquan River in China in the western Himalayas. After flowing from southeast to northwest through Kashmir, it turns southwest and runs through the entire territory of Pakistan, and flows into the Arabian Sea near Karachi.

India is named after the Indus River, but the Indus River is not in India. This is also very strange.

Since losing Kashmir and the left bank of the Ganges, India has not been reconciled.

If you want to grow your strength, you must have territory, especially fertile land!

To the northwest, there is the Kashmir region and Khalistan. Khalistan maintains 10 standing armies all year round, which are brave and good at fighting. Moreover, the Sikhs account for more than 95% of the population there, and all of them believe in Sikhism, so they are not easy to mess with. To the south is the Deccan Plateau, which is a barren land. To the east is the East Indian Republic. The East Indian Republic and the South Indian Republic are brother countries and allies. They are all affected by one move, and they are not rich.

India's choice is nothing more than going north to cross the Ganges, occupy the Ganges Plain, and drive Nepal back to its original place, or going west to attack the Ganges Plain, or even crossing the Ganges and taking the Ganges for itself.

India chose to go west, even if the Pakistani army occupied the geographical advantage.

In order to implement this strategy, the Indian Army deployed a total of 400,000 ground forces, not hundreds of aircraft.

The first to launch the attack were aircraft!

When the Indian aircraft took off and flew over, the Pakistani radar positions searched for them and the air force base was dispatched urgently.

The Pakistani Air Force is currently equipped with 77 F16s, 30 J-10s, 100 Xiaolongs, 200 Mirage III/Vs, 177 J-7s, 50 J-8s, 280 J-6s, and 7 early warning aircraft.

Except for a part deployed in the west, most of the air force is aimed at India.

At the first time, a fierce air battle broke out between the two sides over the Ganges Plain.

The air force strength of both sides is about the same, and they know each other well and are at about the same level.

As soon as the air battle broke out, fireballs could be seen from time to time over the Ganges Plain.

However, this sudden war did not attract any attention. Being on the edge of geopolitics, it is always difficult to be noticed.

However, once the war between India and Pakistan was reignited, the east, north, northeast, northwest, and south were all unstable, which can be said to be a matter of tug-of-war.

After all, India has very bad relations with its neighbors, and frictions are constantly occurring. No one wants to see that big India come back.

India, as always, chose to be tough, sending large troops in all directions to compete, as if it was going to open up six fronts of the battlefield at the same time.

The wars on the other five fronts have not yet broken out, but the frictions have become more frequent.

However, the war in the west is burning in full swing.

The air forces and armies of both sides have already exchanged fire.

Aircraft, tanks and other modern weapons were deployed on the battlefield.

The Indian army was aggressive and determined to win; the Pakistani army was not a pushover either. The hatred accumulated over the years, coupled with the religious conflicts between the two sides, can be said to be as deep as the sea. The Pakistani army did not take the initiative to attack normally, which was very restrained. If they retreated in the face of the Indian army's attack, they would not have to stay in Pakistan.

The air forces of both sides fought fiercely, and the army was also extremely jealous of each other.
