.On the military level, the most important problem is the scale of the war.

Ultimately, it is a political issue, not a military issue.

Although Fu Xiubo, Li Pingko and Huang Hanlin both believed that this opportunity should be taken to solve the problem in southern Tibet, the views of the three people were not completely consistent.

Perhaps wanting to show off well, Huang Hanlin believes that the Southern Tibet issue should be put first in the first place from the very beginning.

The Li Pingke was relatively conservative and believed that after the conditions were ripe, such as the large-scale ground war broke out in India and Pakistan, the United States remained neutral, and Japan did not conduct military intervention, etc., and then considered sending troops to recover southern Tibet, instead of treating southern Tibet as the main battlefield from the beginning.

Relatively speaking, Fu Xiubo has the most proactive attitude.

In his opinion, what is most needed to solve the problem of southern Tibet is a suitable external environment, but the key is not to wait, but to actively create a favorable environment.

Because it was a political issue, none of the three soldiers made any statement.

From the bottom of my heart, Mu Haoyang did not agree to solving the problem of southern Tibet at this time. First, sending troops to southern Tibet will inevitably expand the scale of the war and even completely lose control. Second, the main name of sending troops is to aid Pakistan, rather than resolve the contradiction between China and India. Third, sending troops to southern Tibet will only make China and India completely opposed, lay the root of disaster for the next war, and also provide a reason for India to carry out strategic revenge.

It’s not that Mu Haoyang doesn’t want to solve the problem in southern Tibet, but that he feels that the time is not ripe.

According to his point of view, the Southern Tibet issue does not exist alone, but is part of the Sino-Indian contradiction. If only the Southern Tibet issue is solved without considering other influences, it will inevitably be more cost-effective.

"General, do you have any ideas?" Fu Xiubo kept observing Mu Haoyang and knew that Mu Haoyang had something in his heart.

"Old Fu, I..."

"We are all our own people here, just say what you have any ideas." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "Don't worry about right or wrong, the more you argue the truth, the more you become clearer."

Huang Zhibo nodded to Mu Haoyang and told him to say something if he has something to do, and don't keep it in his heart.

"We only saw opportunities on the issue of southern Tibet, but did not see long-term impact." Mu Haoyang did not worry anymore and expressed his ideas. "The United States actively helped India rectify its military equipment, and Japan spared no effort to help India carry out construction. The purpose was to restrain us. Although our relationship with India has been full of gunpowder in recent years, everyone is still able to live up to the face. In the final analysis, the Indian authorities do not want to be a puppet of the United States, nor do they want to take the blame for Japan's fire. Instead, they continue to pursue multilateral foreign policy and take advantage of our conflicts with the United States and Japan. As long as the fundamental national interests are not involved, India will not rashly be enemies with us."

Fu Xiubo nodded, indicating that he understood Mu Haoyang's meaning.

"Although we have always supported Pakistan in India-Pakistan relations, India is very clear that we will never expect Pakistan to dominate South Asia, and it is even more impossible to help Pakistan defeat India. The reason is very simple. Without a common enemy, we will part ways with Pakistan."

“This is also our basic policy in South Asia.”

"That's true, India has enough reason to believe that we will not encourage Pakistan to start a war, nor will we go all out in the war."

Fu Xiubo frowned and said, "This may become the main basis for India to engage in military adventures."

"It is undeniable that we need to take risks for this. But why do we have to take risks?" Mu Haoyang paused for a moment and said, "The reason is very simple. With our current strength, we do not have the ability to solve the problem once and for all. Even if we can win in the war, it will not be able to prevent India from becoming the second Japan."

Fu Xiubo nodded, not refuting Mu Haoyang's point of view.

"Compared with Japan, India has its own uniqueness. Imagine if we send troops to southern Tibet at this time, where will India go?" Mu Haoyang sighed and said, "The one who is most willing to see this result is definitely not us, but Japan and the United States, because India will have no choice but to fully seek refuge in the United States, become the spokesperson of the United States in South Asia, and become Japan's number one strategic partner."

"The problem is that if we do not send troops to southern Tibet and as long as we send troops to fight, our relations with India will also deteriorate."

"It's just a deterioration, not a full-scale confrontation."

Li Pingkoo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, still not agreeing with Mu Haoyang's point of view.

"If our goal is not to completely defeat India, nor to let India lose its power and humiliate its country, but to just extinguish India's ambitions through military operations, the result will be different. At least in the short term, India will not go to extremes and will not have the ability to pose a substantial threat to us."

"But it cannot be avoided to become our old enemy in the end."

"There is no doubt that India will break with us, but not now, but one day in the future, when we have the ability to control South Asia."

Li Pingko smiled and did not argue with Mu Haoyang.

"General, your view is very novel and rational, but we cannot ignore a crucial issue." Fu Xiubo paused for a moment and said, "India is a nuclear country. Even if we follow your point of view, we are just teaching India through military actions, such as fighting on the marine battlefield and not participating in ground wars between India and Pakistan, we must also consider the threat posed by nuclear weapons."

Mu Haoyang nodded to show that he understood what Fu Xiubo meant.

"So, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

"Surgery-style air strikes, even if they cannot eliminate all nuclear forces in India, can destroy the vast majority. Then rely on anti-missile defense systems and comprehensive nuclear retaliation, make India give up the idea of ​​launching a nuclear strike on our country and fight a conventional war."

"Well, I admit that your approach works, but there must be uncertainty in the war. What should we do if we fail to destroy all of India's nuclear weapons and prevent India from using nuclear weapons, even if only one nuclear warhead falls within our territory?"

"this……"

"Obviously, this question concerns whether we want to fight this war." Fu Xiubo glanced at the others, "As General Mu Haoyang said, we must take pre-emptive air strikes to fight to destroy most of India's nuclear weapons, and then use comprehensive nuclear retaliation as a threat, so that India dare not use nuclear weapons rashly. If India uses nuclear weapons, such as tactical ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads, we must also do our best to shoot down incoming missiles over India. For this reason, we must seize air supremacy and launch an attack first. In this case, is our war with India still only partial conflict? Even if we hope to reconcile after the war, I am afraid India will not agree."

Mu Haoyang sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.

"My point of view is still determined by the timing," Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "We will only participate in ground wars when all the conditions are met. Before that, the main purpose of seizing the sea power and defeating the Indian Navy."

After the question was explained clearly, no one raised any objections.

"Now, we have to consider how to fight." Fu Xiubo glanced at Mu Haoyang and said, "Brother Lu and the Chief of Staff recommend you to command this war. I want to hear your opinions. It is not a strategic opinion, but a tactical level, that is, how to win at the minimum cost."

"this……"

"This is a purely military issue, and I believe your point of view will refresh us."

Mu Haoyang pondered for a while and said, "If possible, we must prevent the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group from entering the Indian Ocean and create a more favorable battlefield environment."

"Strike the Indian Navy alone?"

Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "India has three aircraft carriers, and has very rich experience in using aircraft carriers, and has backed to local operations. Our advantage is not obvious. If the Japanese Navy participates in the war, we will have to face a stronger enemy and the chance of victory is even slimmer."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Unless we plan to start a war with Japan at the same time, we cannot intercept the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group. The best way is to prevent the Japanese aircraft carrier from leaving the port."

Fu Xiubo nodded and looked at Huang Zhibo.

“The second department is planning.”

After hearing what Huang Zhibo said, Mu Haoyang immediately realized that the General Staff had formulated a combat plan and had begun to be implemented.

"What's next?"

"In order to achieve suddenness, before and after the naval war begins, we have to bomb India's strategic goals, especially the arsenal of nuclear warheads, missile troops stations, strategic command centers, major nuclear industrial facilities, etc., to disintegrate India's strategic counterattack forces as soon as possible. After the ground war begins, the Pakistani army will take on the main tasks, and we only provide air support when necessary." Mu Haoyang paused for a moment and said, "For this, we must be more rational and strive to get India to fire the first shot."

"Only in this way can Pakistan join the war?"

Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "If the naval battle begins first, India is likely to give up the ground attack, so we must seize the opportunity for the fleet to enter the Indian Ocean. We cannot attract India's attention too early, otherwise the significance of this war will be greatly reduced."

Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "General, what do you think is the value of this war?"

"It's hard to say politically, but one thing is clear. We must prevent Japan from obtaining Kashmir's resources, otherwise it will not do us any good."

"You're talking about tactical purposes."

Mu Haoyang smiled without refuting. The purpose at the strategic level is related to politics, and as a soldier, he should not pay too much attention to political topics.

"Okay, let's leave the military issues to the soldiers to deal with." Fu Xiubo patted the handrail of the sofa and said, "Lieutenant General Mu Haoyang, I will appoint you as the joint commander now and be fully responsible for combat operations. The Chief of Staff will explain the other arrangements to you in detail."

Mu Haoyang was stunned and quickly got up.

"There is no need to be so polite. After accepting the appointment, hurry up and deploy." Fu Xiubo suppressed his hand and said, "Report the combat operations to the Chief of General Staff. If you encounter problems that the Chief of General Staff cannot solve, you can come to me. You can handle other matters at your discretion."

"yes"

Mu Haoyang exclaims, the greater the power, the greater the pressure...
