Because of the epidemic, less people, so as not to gather?
Playing motorcycle stacking on rohan at a military parade in India has long become an old terrier on the Chinese Internet:
Observation post: Report to the company commander, there is a motorcycle coming from the opposite side.
Company Commander: Okay, third squad leader, take two men to kill it, and take a prisoner by the way.
Half an hour later, the three squad leaders called: company headquarters, company headquarters, asking for support, our unit has been surrounded by enemy troops.
Company Commander: It's really rubbish, just a motorcycle can't be done.
Third Squad Leader: Company Commander, they only came over on a motorcycle, but they carried a platoon.
Where to buy this motorcycle, the quality is really OK!
This time, India began to hold a "Republic Day military parade" in the face of the epidemic, and no foreign guests came to the scene, perhaps thinking that the scene might be deserted, so they began to stack arhats again.
However, originally India did not want to make the scene so cold, last year invited British Prime Minister Johnson to come, the result of the second golden retriever on the pretext of epidemic prevention and control is too heavy, so did not come...
Actually I'm busy having a party...
Of course, Johnson was busy having a party during the pandemic and had no time to go to India, which was a joke. More likely the reason is that he is afraid...
Are you not afraid of changing you? I'm scared anyway...
In fact, India really doesn't have any numbers. Their own domestic epidemic has made the world tremble when they see it, so they are kind enough to invite people to ???
But India certainly doesn't think this is a thing, but this year they actually invited the heads of state of the five Central Asian countries to go. However, people say, "The schedule can't be arranged..."
People are getting ready to come here!!
But why did India invite the five Central Asian countries?
It's a bit of a mystery...
India has a Central Asian strategy!!
Yes, India has always wanted to infiltrate its influence into Central Asia!
If you look at the map above, you can see what the strategic geography of Central Asia means for India. If India can infiltrate its influence here, there is no doubt that it is equivalent to preparing a knife behind Pakistan's back!
The front bar is just playing flank wrapping, this trick everyone in the world will
Although Pakistan's country is too small and the country's economy is overwhelmed by the long-term confrontation with India, the gap between the two sides is in fact widening. But it is unrealistic for India to crush Pakistan in a short period of time. After all, Pakistan can always find help.
During the Indo-Pakistani War, when Pakistan was on the verge of being overwhelmed, this happened...
In fact, it is the United States, although it seems to have a belly idea of Pakistan, but in theory, Pakistan is still an "ally" of the United States! If nothing else, the first thing was to let Pakistan look at India, so that India would not be able to sit in a big position. I think it was too enthusiastic when India and the Soviet Union were eyebrow-to-eye.
At that time, I almost called indian comrades
Although India later ran to ease relations with the United States and turned over the sign of "the largest democracy", the United States smiled and giggled in order to win India away from the Soviet Union.
Dude, you have to move toward democracy...
The way for the United States is to support Pakistan, at least not to let Pakistan fall, otherwise no one really can control India. And India's geographical location is really important!
There's nothing wrong with this picture, right?
India's penetration into the Indian Ocean, just right to jam more than half of its shipping routes in and out of the Middle East, and falling to the Soviet Union was a nightmare for the United States. It is India's self-reliant gateway to play between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the United States can't stand the asking price of India at that time!
As for later...
The Soviets went to Afghanistan...
With the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet army, Pakistan has become the forefront of the anti-Soviet resistance, so the United States must vigorously support it! So how much India was holding its breath at that time, we don't know!
It was hard to survive until the end of the Cold War, and as a result, bin Laden's boy jumped out of nowhere and provoked the United States, and it turned the United States to go to Afghanistan...
Welcome to Afghanistan, find your own piece of land...
Although Pakistan has become an inseparable "anti-terrorism ally" of the United States, India's opportunity has also come!!
The Soviet Union in the north collapsed, and although several Central Asian countries are sitting on rich resources, they are facing different problems. The United States went deep into Afghanistan and then fell into a quagmire, and the more it could help, the better. Since India is the biggest democracy, the United States will not refuse indian forces to enter Afghanistan.
As a result, India has ambitiously proposed its own "Central Asia Strategy"!
There are so many benefits to doing so!
Central Asia's energy is what India wants the most, can't rely on the Middle East alone, right and wrong, central Asia's oil and gas resources are not fragrant? If you want to industrialization, you can't do without the support of oil and gas resources, which fools know.
Also, the Central Asian countries face two major countries, Russia and China. Of course, these two countries will not refuse to invest, but if they can have more options, will they increase their bargaining power? Therefore, the investment of Central Asian countries in India is also welcome!
Have money to earn, for the hair not to go? India is happy...
Without nuclear fuel, this thing is really not as fun as two kicks
Oh, by the way, India has been tinkering with nuclear weapons, and the result has been repaired by the five permanent members of the Security Council, although the United States always wants to open up India, but this is not something that can be done for a while and a half. Therefore, it is also very important to find uranium ore...
Oh, do you want these five to agree...
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan all have that stuff, and they are all willing to sell it to India...
I can't ask for it!
As for Tajikistan, the closest to Pakistan?
That's it!
Hey hey, India is building a military base under the pretext of counter-terrorism!!
The biggest strategic goal, inserted a knife behind Pakistan's back is almost achieved, perfect ~!
There is also a problem that is always overlooked.
Pakistan has a very good relationship with the Taliban in Afghanistan, but it is a matter of changing others to govern...
When the British did not come, the territory of Afghanistan was like this~
Although the British invaded Afghanistan for a while, they ate big flies, but they did not go home empty-handed, and they took away half of Afghanistan...
Today, the Pashtuns, the dominant ethnic group in Afghanistan, account for only 40% of the population in Afghanistan, because a "Durrani Line" classifies two-thirds of the Pashtuns into "British India"!!
After the partition of India and Pakistan, the area became Pakistani. As a result, more major ethnic groups in Afghanistan now live in Pakistan than in Afghanistan.
What is this called? No one provokes trouble, this is called a potential crisis, someone provokes this is called "trouble"!!
Brothers, go to Afghanistan, rush!!
Therefore, in addition to tightening the belt and running to invest in the five Central Asian countries, India has also spent no less effort in Afghanistan.
In 2011, India also officially announced that it had established a strategic partnership with Afghanistan, where the total investment may have far exceeded US$3 billion, covering roads, dams, transmission lines, substations, schools and hospitals. This is India's biggest overseas investment!!
However, there is a big trouble in Central Asia!
That is, how to get to Central Asia from India?
Pakistan in the middle lends India a way? It's no joke...
China's Belt and Road Initiative, we in India do not participate, we want to engage in a set of ourselves, brother, you also come, right?
So, taking advantage of the opportunity of Iran being sanctioned by the United States, India went to talk to Iran...
There is really a big plan between India and Iran. Let's take a look:
(i) "International North-South Transport Corridor" plan: In May 2002, India, Russia and Iran announced the "International North-South Transport Corridor" plan, which aims to establish a multimodal transport network with a total length of 7200 km connecting the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
(ii) "Chabahar Port-Zahedan Railway" project: In fact, this is also part of the above plan, through this railway, bypass Pakistan, directly carry out trade activities with Afghanistan, bypass Pakistan to bundle India and Central Asian countries together!! India's ambitions are evident, right?
Bypassing Pakistan, the resources cannot all go to China...
The Ashgabat Agreement is at the heart of India's Central Asia strategy: the heart of this agreement is an "Iran-Turkmenistan-Kazakhstan" railway, and for a project to promote central Asian integration, the significance of India's participation in it is a matter of your own !!!
Building an ambitious blueprint parallel to China's Belt and Road Initiative is what India wants.
Strange?
In fact, it is not surprising that for India, since It sees China as the number one stumbling block on its way to becoming a "great power with sound and color", it is not surprising that various ideas are aimed at China.
However, India has a problem...
I'm holding you so you can go and fight China!!
That is, the United States is actually the "number two stumbling block" on the road of India...
Tragic?
The Expectation of the United States for India is one, don't say anything about the "biggest democracy", that is a calf, the mouth is ideological, the action is business, if you still can't see through the United States, you can go home and sleep!
Actually, I think so too...
As a world overlord, the last thing you want to see is that there is a "small bully" with absolute control in a certain area of the earth, which means that the world overlord is discounted!!!
I came to you for one purpose, the other two are my little brother...
Fortunately, when the United States faced China, it had to use India. The reason is very simple, Australia and Japan plus the United States, it seems that it is not enough ah...
It is also this factor that has caused a lot of trouble for India.
My "Indo-Pacific strategy" is so correct that biden, the old boy, can't pick it out
Since the United States wants India to take the lead in the "Indo-Pacific strategy," it is impossible for India to be a "big country with sound and color" itself, otherwise who is this dowry for?
Therefore, when the United States launched extreme sanctions against Iran, it did not consider India's "Central Asia Strategy" at all!!
According to the US sanctions policy, if you want to invest in the port of Chabahar in Iran (the starting point of the Na Railway in the Ashgabat Agreement and the most critical node of the link with India), it has become the number one sanction target...
This is the most tangled part of India...
Relying on the United States to confront China seems to be the most promising, but it will also become a pawn of the United States, and it is getting farther and farther away from its goal of being a "big country with sound and color."
But not on the United States, but on India itself?
Dude, don't you make a fuss?
Oh, honestly come to see the Winter Olympics!! At the very least, it would make life better in India!!!
