On New Year's Day of the year 2025, for the first time, the Americans in India's Gulf of Khaki thought of retreating.
India's Gulf of Khaki belonged to the state of Gujarat. During the Indo-Mongolian conflict, this area was far to the west and was basically unaffected. Even the plague that followed did not affect this area. Although Ahmedabad won a nuclear bomb and sent this city known as the Manchester of the East back to its primitive days, compared to other parts of India, especially the Ganges Valley and the eastern Deccan Plateau, this place was already a holy land. The population of more than 60 million did not decrease much because of the war. After the ceasefire, the people in this area began to move to other parts of India. Their traditional business mind made this area prosperous quickly.
Before the war, Gujarat, which accounted for 5% of India's total population, accounted for 16% of the country's industrial output and 22% of the country's total export value. Its economic development speed had long surpassed the average level of India. As the McKinsey Consulting Company evaluated, Gujarat was playing the role of the driving force of India's industrialization, just like how Guangdong Province was to China in the 1990s.
The Americans' garrison brought them the greatest danger. If the US-Iran war broke out, Gujarat, which was ahead of India, would face a disaster. The local people asked the Americans to leave.
In fact, the Americans wanted to leave even more. Their diplomatic officials had already negotiated with China and Shin Myung Province to see if they could find a way to help the Americans step down. For example, the Americans accidentally had some planned conflicts with the people of Shin Myung Province and accidentally blew up the Shin Myung Province's embassy. Then, the people of Shin Myung Province would be furious and want to fight with the Americans. Then, the Americans would compensate, apologize, and take the opportunity to withdraw their troops from Asia. Shin Myung Province's Wei Jie told the American Foreign Minister, Regis, that Shin Myung Province could not do such a thing and was not used to doing it. He asked them to contact China. After all, it was not like the Americans had never blown up an embassy in China before and had experience in dealing with it.
Who would have thought that this time, the Chinese were also quite strong and disagreed. Liu Dehou said, "Although China has a lot of people, it seems that life is not worth anything. But if anyone dares to exchange Chinese lives for foreigners' money again, I will take his life first. " Li Yannian, who had obtained the imperial sword, was also quite tough. He told the Americans to look for the Russians, as they were short of money.
Russia did not pee on the United States either, saying, "When I was beaten to a pulp by the North Sea Republican Army, the United States did not even let out a fart. Now, I have lost more than half of my country, and it was not easy for me to have a good night's sleep. I don't want to be involved in war disputes anymore."
Currently, there were only a few countries that had a say in the international arena. None of them supported the Americans, and that made things difficult for them.
Without an excuse, they still had to withdraw. Otherwise, the huge military expenditure every day would almost drag down the US economy.
Knowing that the Americans were withdrawing, Chen Weizheng did not want to do it. If you withdraw, who am I going to sell my warehouse of firearms to? He instructed Tang Wei to carry out Plan B.
The so-called Plan B. In fact, it was still an old trick. There was nothing new. Old tricks were effective before they were exposed. Let the agents who had already infiltrated the Iranian army launch a Qinglong 22 missile. Chen Weizheng himself waited in the sky above Pakistan, waiting for the US to counterattack. His goal was to kick any one of the US counterattack missiles into Karachi.
The Qinglong 22 medium-range missile was an advanced missile manufactured by Shin Myung Province that was ahead of the international military. On the night of February 29, 2025, a Qinglong 22 medium-range missile was launched without the permission of the Iranian military. Its target was the US aircraft carrier Enterprise docked in the Gulf of Khaki.
With the Qinglong 22's firing speed, it only took two minutes to cover the distance of 1,100 kilometers. Two minutes was only enough for a cigarette to be smoked halfway. From the time the Americans' radar detected a flying object and sent out a warning to the time when the interceptor was ready to be fired, it would take five minutes. This five minutes was just a theoretical figure. In reality, no one had ever been able to achieve this. When the interceptor missile was ready to be launched, a big hole with a diameter of a few meters had appeared in the middle of the USS Enterprise.
The Americans immediately entered a state of war. In the end, they found that there was only one missile, and there was no second missile. Seeing the big hole in the USS Enterprise, the Americans were filled with hatred. A Pershing tactical missile flew directly over.
The Pershing tactical missile had a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, a maximum flight altitude of about 300 kilometers, a hit accuracy of 40 meters, a maximum speed of 12 times the speed of sound, a length of 10 meters, a diameter of 1 meter, a launch mass of 7.26 tons, and a launch preparation time of five minutes.
Seeing that the missile was launched from the US land missile base, Chen Weizheng smiled. He had already prepared a big rock. When the missile passed by, he directly threw it at it to make it change course. The target was Karachi. Pakistan, with China's background, and the US's driving force, was definitely more interesting than the US's driving force.
Karachi was the largest city and the largest seaport and military port in Pakistan. It was the country's industrial, commercial, trade, and financial center. It was also the international airport between Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. It was the capital of Pakistan from 1947 to 1959. It covered an area of 1,448 square kilometers and had an urban population of more than 10 million.
In the early morning of March 1st, the people of Karachi were still sleeping soundly when they were awakened by a loud bang. Not long after, the entire city was filled with the sound of sirens. People poked their heads out of their windows, looking for the source of the explosion. From the direction of the large number of fire trucks, it could be determined that the loud bang came from the military port, where the naval fleet headquarters, base headquarters, and logistics headquarters were located. At least half of Karachi's citizens thought that the troops must have accidentally set off their own bombs.
The consequences of the Pershing tactical missile to the Pakistan army were immeasurable. It exploded directly in the officer's dormitory area, and three buildings in the officer's dormitory area were basically flattened. The surrounding buildings also had cracks, and not a single piece of glass could be found intact.
From the satellite surveillance, the missile was launched from the US land base. Its original target was Kerman in Iran, but for some reason, it changed direction midway and fell into Karachi. When they heard the news, the Indians cried out, "The two nuclear bombs that fell into Dhaka were like this. Because of this, we fought a fierce war with Bangladesh for two years. How many people died? How much land was lost? I'm innocent!"
Unfortunately, the Indians' words carried little weight, and no one heard their cries. Those who heard also thought that they had ulterior motives and were giving a random explanation for their actions.
Pakistan was very calm. Within an hour of the missile attack, there was no shouting, no crying, and no diplomatic explanation. An hour later, the first wave of 360 Qinglong 18 short-range missiles deployed in the Fifth Army in Karachi rose from the ground and flew towards the Enterprise in Gulf of Karachi.
The first wave was prepared to be intercepted by the US, because the second wave was the planned attack. Five minutes later, the second wave of 500 Qinglong 18 missiles also flew towards the Enterprise.
This was a blunder. The US never thought that they would have a missile war with Pakistan. On the contrary, Pakistan's preparations were in place. The 10,000 Qinglong 18 missiles shipped by China were placed in place early on, and the targets were already calibrated. As long as they said they would attack, they would attack immediately.
The US was still in a meeting in Washington, discussing how to explain to Pakistan. Some people were still wondering if they could use this incident to get themselves out of office and leave the Arabian Sea with dignity. The US was too optimistic. If they killed the poor, Pakistan could still use money. The problem was the active military that blew up three buildings, and they did not know if there were any senior officers among them. Money was not everything, although it was impossible to do without money.
Before the US finished discussing, the news came that Pakistan's first wave of Qinglong 18 short-range missiles had all been successfully intercepted. After five minutes, the news came again. Pakistan's second wave of Qinglong 18 short-range missiles had hit the Enterprise. So far, two frigates, one destroyer, had sunk, one Ali Burke, and the other Ali Burke. The Burke class Aegis destroyer was also preparing to sink, and a guided missile cruiser was also in trouble. The deck of the Enterprise had been completely shattered, the conning tower was partially blown off, and the hull, which had lost its power, was still floating on the water.
Hearing this news, the Washington group could not say a word.
Before this group of people who were used to wrangling could come to a conclusion, the third piece of news arrived. Thirty Air Overlords took off from Kerman, Iran, and bombed the US Army Base. One hundred and fifty tons of Jiang Long 19 dropped bombs, turning the entire base into a sea of fire. The current casualties were unknown.
The US naval forces and land forces were all groaning in purgatory.
It was dawn. Under the spring sun in Kachi Bay, corpses were floating on the surface of the water. It was impossible to count the total number because after the bombing stopped, the fresh blood attracted groups of Indian Ocean sharks. American flavored meat was a new taste for them.
The bombing of the Iranians was the real killing. It was low cost and had great effect. In the second half of the night, except for the night patrol, everyone in the camp was asleep. Some of the sleeping soldiers were still dreaming about when they would return to the other side of the earth and sleep with their beloved women in their own fields.
After statistics, more than half of the 400,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and the death toll reached 210,000. 140,000 people had varying degrees of injuries, and only 50,000 were unharmed. The first thing these 50,000 people did when they woke up early in the morning was to thank God. The second thing was to help the wounded. As for the dead, since they were already dead, let them be for a while.
The US was boiling! All of the US people suddenly became warmongers overnight. Even the US Institute of Peace, which had been clamoring for peace for decades, was an independent, non-profit national institute that served the government and the people. The Institute needs to carry out as many educational and training programs as possible, provide basic and applied research opportunities, and provide information services related to peace mediation, to achieve peace and resolve disputes for all countries and peoples of the world without resorting to force. "The Institute is also clamoring to raise the national army and vow to destroy Iran and Pakistan.
