In the past few days after the Sino-Indian conflict broke out, Duqiwei had to go to the White House several times every day!! Either introduce the progress of the conflict to the president or analyze the direction of the battle for the president. Although the Secretary of Defense is the president's number one military adviser, in Duqiwei's view, these things can be left to the Joint Conference or the National Security Advisor.

For some reason, Westwood doesn't trust soldiers very much.

In the year, Westwood was elected president for the first time. When the government was formed, it had serious differences with Congress because it had to arrange a civilian secretary of defense. It almost caused the cabinet to be difficult to bear. Although Westwood changed course four years later and appointed Ducheway, who had just been promoted to Marine General, as Secretary of Defense, his views on soldiers remained unchanged, and he rarely listened to the opinions of soldiers in major decisions. There was no reason for the president to distrust soldiers. Before that, Republican President Frederick was influenced by soldiers, which involved the United States in two unwinnable wars. Not only did he lose a lot, but he also greatly affected the United States' international image. Westwood emphasizes civilians over military affairs, which is also a tradition of the Democratic president.

The president's idea largely determines Duchwie's attitude.

Since Westwood rarely listens to the opinions of soldiers, Ducheway rarely expresses his opinions.

Before entering the Oval Study, Duchewei knew that the president had just sent away several officials because the president's secretary Jenny was busy packing up the cups and trays.

It must be Bruderlyn, and maybe Tommachi.

It was not until two days ago that Duqiwei learned that the Fourth of the thugs had been fighting in China. Westwood did not tell the Secretary of Defense about this. Duqiwei was not surprised because he would definitely object, and the president believed in Tommachi and did not want anyone to drag the Fourth down. Duqiwei was not angry because of this. Whether it was the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, or the Fourth Director, they were just a staff member under the president. But Duqiwei was a little confused. The facts proved that his objection was correct. Why did the president exclude the Secretary of Defense from the decision-making circle?

Is it just because the Secretary of Defense is a soldier?

There are many things that Duqiwei can't figure out, and he doesn't have that much energy to think about.

When he saw the president, Duchewei lit a cigarette first. The Marine General was very busy these hours. The president came to him, which must be related to the conflict that had just ended.

"General. Have you received the news?"

"What news?"

Westwood walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Duchway. "The Chinese head of state just announced the temporary suspension of military operations. The Chinese Air Force's combat aircraft evacuated Indian airspace about four hours ago."

Duqiwei nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this.

"According to Brudering's analysis, the conflict has ended."

"It can be basically said that as long as India accepts the fait accompli, the conflict will end."

"Do you think so?" Westwood looked at Duchway and said, "In this way, Rurajapani has lost the opportunity to choose and must end the conflict."

After the president finished speaking, Duqiwei waited for a while and said, "From a military perspective, India has been completely defeated."

"What does it mean?" Westwood was waiting for this sentence.

"According to the information we have, in more than six hours of battle, the Chinese Air Force destroyed all important military facilities on the Ganges Plain; in addition to the lack of large-scale bombing of military personnel gathering places, India not only lost its national air defense system, but also lost nearly two-thirds of its air power. If Jiyin was attacked, Fengxian Zijun would definitely poison other Yangzhuo to comfort themselves, such as military camps. The main purpose was to kill and injure the Indian army's vitality. As the scale of the bombing expanded, the Chinese Air Force might also attack India's national infrastructure, such as traffic nodes, factories, TV stations, power plants, etc. Without air supremacy and air defense capabilities, India would only lose even worse. In the current situation, India cannot launch a counterattack in any direction, and even Pakistan cannot defeat it. Rurajapani can only seek peace from China and end the conflict."

Westwood nodded and said, "It is too hard to believe that the Chinese Air Force defeated India in a few hours."

"It's really incredible, but that's the gap between India and China." Duqiwei destroyed the cigarette butts and said, "From a certain perspective, China can end the conflict by gradually reducing the scale of military operations, and launch a new round of military strikes at the risk of a full-scale war with India. The air strikes of more than six hours not only defeated the Indian army, but also defeated us."

Westwood immediately signaled Duchway to continue.

"Everyone knows that India's current national defense system is based on the military assistance provided by our country. Most of the fighters from the air defense system to the Air Force are provided by us. Although the quality of the Indian army is too poor, and the equipment we provide to India is about to be eliminated or equipment with limited performance, through this battle, the Chinese Air Force proves with practical actions that our weapons and equipment are vulnerable and far less than China's weapons. Those countries that are still hesitating whether to buy our weapons or weapons in the country will get their imaginations. In the next few years, China's arms sales performance will increase several times. At least accounting for more than half of the international arms trade market share. Loss point trade revenue is nothing, but arms trade is very different from ordinary trade."

Speaking of the key points, Duqiwei didn't continue.

Westwood is a smart man and does not need the Secretary of Defense to make it too obvious.

Compared with ordinary trade, arms trade has inherent limitations. This is like exporting cars and export tanks. Cars can be exported to any country, even in hostile countries, China has been exporting electric vehicles to the United States, and even exporting electric vehicles to the United States in a dumping manner to strike the US automobile industry; tanks cannot be exported easily. Even in a friendly country, at least China has not sold an allied tank to the United States, and even to some allies, China's arms exports are reserved. Only the most important allied countries can buy the most advanced tanks.

Simply put, arms trade has a big laughing relationship with ideology.

Political relations can fundamentally determine the level of arms trade, and arms trade can also affect political relations between countries.

If any country purchases China's weapons and equipment, it will at least not be hostile to China. After all, weapons and equipment are also "products" that require after-sales support. If it turns against China, all weapons and equipment purchased from China will become decorations. If any country builds its defense foundation on China's weapons and equipment, it will definitely form an alliance with China. At least it has a secret alliance with China, because weapons and equipment are systematized projects and the most core technology is in the hands of exporters. If the relationship with the exporters is not strong enough, the national defense system will face the threat of paralysis.

China is doing it, the United States is doing it, and the United States is doing it, and the United States is the most

During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States used arms trade to win over many Third World countries, established several strategic encirclements against the Soviet Union, and weakened the Soviet Union's influence. On the battlefield in the Middle East, Israel, armed with American weapons, defeated the Arab countries armed with Soviet weapons. In the end, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other countries successively entered the U.S. Gulf War. The coalition led by the United States defeated the Iraqi army. The U.S. armed force showed its power. Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the U.S., Oman and other countries in the Gulf region successively entered the embrace of the United States.

As China's weapons and equipment become popular in the international market, the international situation that is already less favorable to the United States will definitely become more unfavorable to the United States.

This battle of more than 6 hours hurt India openly and slapped the United States in the face.

After pondering for a while, Westwood breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In the general's opinion, how should we turn the situation around?"

Turn the situation around!? Du Qiwei smiled bitterly and said, "Under the current situation, unless we directly participate in the war, there is no way to turn the situation around

Westwood immediately frowned, and his eyes at Duchway changed a lot.

"We have never provided India with the most advanced weapons and equipment. Even if we provide India with the most advanced weapons and equipment immediately, the Indian army will not be able to master it, and it is even more impossible to defeat China on the battlefield. With the recent situation, Rurajapani cannot fight against China and will not expand the scale of the conflict. The conflict has ended. In the short term, it is difficult to find a country that poses a more threat to China than India and is willing to confront China. In addition to trying to help India restore its military strength, we cannot count on other methods, and we can only rely on ourselves. Of course, the price of confrontation with China is too high, we cannot afford it, and we should not take risks.

Westwood nodded slightly, his expression slightly changed.

"At present, we have no choice but to accept the fait accompli. We should pay more attention to the future. The Sino-Indian conflict will not end with the end of the conflict, and sooner or later a larger conflict will break out. Even a full-scale war. The more than six hours of battle not only proves China's military strength, makes us suffer, but also gives us enough inspiration to point out the direction for future development. According to the information we have mastered, China used a lot of new weapons and equipment that had never been used in the war before, many of which were developed in recent years. If I am not wrong, China will launch a large-scale strike on its own, in addition to the purposes mentioned above, in order to test the actual combat performance of new weapons and equipment and clarify the direction of development of military forces."

"What do you think of this high?" Westwood was immediately attracted by the new topic.

Duqiwei took out the documents he brought and handed them to the president. "This is a brief assessment of China's crackdown based on the information I received.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. When China is exploring the future development direction of military power, we can absorb useful things from China's exploration and provide a basis for our military power construction."

Westwood took out the cigar and lit it before opening Duchway's document.

Ducheway is an excellent soldier and an excellent Minister of Defense.
