1. Three advantages in Indian military geography
India's geographical location is in the southwest of China, and the United States and Japan Alliance is in the southeast coast of China, while China is sandwiched between the two.For decades, China's defense deployment is facing the US -Japan military alliance, exposed to India on the side, and is in a unfavorable strategic position in the abdomen and being pinched back and forth.India's Tongs and the United States and Japan constituted one -sided wings on both sides, and it was in a favorable battle position after China.If Russia is like the former Soviet Union, once relationships with China are evil, India can also have a war situation in which the northern Russia forms a north -south attack on China.Therefore, India has a natural potential double pinching advantage.
The south of India is on the verge of the Indian Ocean, and you can cut off the Chinese maritime lifeline in one step. China's energy input, goods, and raw materials import and export maritime transportation is easily threatened, and then paralyzed China's domestic economy and daily life.The Chinese Navy's remote escort is unpredictable, while the Indian Navy and the local Air Force and land -based missiles have great convenience for offshore operations.
In China -India border operations, the mobilization of China's military power must overcome many difficulties from the inland to the Tibet Plateau's long -distance logistics support and high -cold operations. Both military investment and long -term operations have been greatly limited.On the contrary, India has strong logistics and battlefield maneuverability in the center of the center of the low altitude in the center of the border.Therefore, although India's overall military power is less than China, it has obvious relative advantages in the local theater of the border.
2. The strategic advantage of Indian battle position and diplomatic neutrality
The above three advantages are India's long -term dare to have a strong confidence in China, and when dealing with China and the international community, India is often good at using these three military advantages to convert into real economic and other aspects of interests.The United States and Russia are attracted by the pictures of the Chinese abdomen that can be affected by the enemy's backs. They often settle in India with their own affection, generously sending many benefits to contain or restrain China by enterprises.Regarding China's opponents and potential opponents, India also knows its charm. It has been collected all kinds of diligent orders sent by the United States and Japan, but never joined the formal military alliance.India chooses to be neutral in diplomacy and holds an alliance policy. This is the best choice for weighing again and again.
From a military point of view, if India joins the United States and Japan Alliance, it is not a potential threat to form a strike situation in China, but a real threat.The enemy, turned around to solve the concerns behind, and for all, this was no different from India.Despite the cooperation of the United States and Japan Alliance, after all, India first became the goal of China's full blow to make wedding clothes for others.
On the contrary, choosing not to form a neutral position, holding Li Jian behind China, India not only obtains freedom of action, eats the benefits of the two upper and lower parties, but also causes China to fall into the predicament of national defense security uncertainty.Since India does not form an alliance neutral, China cannot deploy national defense in front of India. When the national defense faces the United States and Japan alliances, it is necessary to prevent India behind with the United States and Japan alliance at any time, caught in the danger of being opposed to the enemy.In case, China has to distinguish between small military strength to deal with India, but at the key time, it cannot be liberalized due to insufficient military power.When friction appears on the border, India can echo the US -Japan posture to take advantage of it.Use diplomatic neutrality to resolve the threat from China to the south, hold the position behind the sharp sword to threaten and threaten China. At the same time, it can knock on both sides of China and the United States.This is also the mystery of India who did not join the United States and Japan alliances even in China in 1962 and still holds neutrality.
3. Domino effect of Indian military geography
In addition to the standing advantages of Chinese land can echo the United States and Russia, the Indian Navy, which is not weak, has the local land and air fire to threaten the excellent maritime battle position in China.With the charm of use, it can also echo the potential opponents at sea at sea, including the United States and Japan Alliance.After the Donglang incident three years ago, China -India relations were tense. This year, the new crown virus epidemic broke out, and China -Australia relations were tense. On June 4, Indian Prime Minister Modi and Australian Prime Minister Morrison signed seven cooperation agreements, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, including military, of which including militaryThe logistics support agreement, the two parties jointly issued a statement of the India -Pacific maritime cooperation and the common vision statement, which shows that the two countries have formed a clear prototype of the military alliance that confronts China from the maritime, followed by the June 15th China -India border between the two armies of the two armies of the two armies of the two armies of the Galwan Valley of the China and India border.The bleeding incident caused by Shi Xiangjia was tough in India.On July 1, Australian Prime Minister Morrison announced a plan expansion plan in the next 10 years to prepare to intervene in military conflict in the Indo -Pacific region in the future.Although India and Australia have not formed a complete maritime military alliance, the trend of remote echo has been formed.India's advantage in China's battle position continues to expand in the ocean.
Fourth, India's ideal northern security pursuit
Nehru said: India is now in the world's status, and cannot play a second -class role in the world, or she is a big nation or a disappearance.The middle position cannot be caused.India has been arguing with China for decades.India dares to retain the Tibetan Dalai Dalaious Government, and dares to expand force in a difficult period in China in 1962 after the Great Leap Forward. There is a long -term and ideal strategic goal hidden behind it.The buffer is just like Stalin needs Outer Mongolia independence.After the defeat of the border war in 1962, India realized that the gap between China and India was temporarily stopped.It is impossible for India to hold this kind of extravagance at the moment. Just as Russia does not have the ability to make Outer Mongolia independence during the October Revolution. After World War II, when a powerful Soviet Union faces a lot of sore China, it has the ability to make Outer Mongolia independence.Therefore, from the perspective of the history of the natural development of international relations, once China is weakened to India, the degree of maturity of the time, the mechanics law of international relations will promote the ideal strategic goal of India to work hard.After the severe winter passed, the ugly duckling could also become a swan.
5. The so -called weakness of India mdash; mdash; military system
One of the biggest weaknesses in India's military is that it does not have high -tech weapons and military heavy equipment production systems. Tanks, fighters, and heavy artillery are mostly imported from Russia, the United States, South Korea, and Western countries.In war, we can quickly purchase weapons from major weapons producers in the world.For example, after the border bleeding conflict on June 15, 2020, India quickly purchased 21 MiG-29UPG and 12 Su-30MKI fighters from Russia, and also prepared to order 1,770 Russia's most advanced fourth-generation tanks.In addition, India purchases several gust -in fighters from France, which is the main active aircraft of the French Air Force.In the past few years, India also purchased various military aircraft such as Apache and Zhi Naqian from the United States.On the surface, in addition to being able to create nuclear weapons, India does not have a complete conventional high -tech military system. It is a major weakness. How can a country not have its own independent regular army and physical system?Actually.
If India can obtain continuous external weapons supply in time during the war, it will reduce the huge burden of maintaining huge military systems. Each weapon provides countries to become India's arsenal. India only needs to train officers and soldiers who use various weapons.There is a way to buy a boat to buy a boat, and buying a boat is not as good as renting a boat. Of course, weapons cannot be rented. Buying weapons is less than its own manufacturing costs, which saves national defense costs without affecting the combat power on the battlefield.During the Second World War, when the Chinese army in India counterattacked Myanmar, the full American equipment, the United States provided sufficient aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery and logistics support, formed an advantageous firepower in the air and the ground, and gave a devastating blow to the Elite 18th Division of the Japanese Army's Elite.This advantage has been maintained until the end of World War II.In other words, in the Myanmar Theater, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which does not have a complete military and physical department, has achieved an overwhelming battlefield firepower advantage from the air and the ground, defeating the Japanese army with a complete military system.Therefore, India does not have a complete heavy weapon production system may not be a fatal weakness, and it may not be defeated on the battlefield.Because the battlefield victory or defeat depends on the advanced weapon (the premise isUnder the same situation of other conditions), it does not depend on who the weapons are made.
Summary: China is stronger than India, India's standing position is better than China, and it is converted. India has accounted for the upper hand. In recent years, China has to endure the voices of many things.Gao Ming.The strategic advantage of Indian military battle plus diplomatic neutrality will also be maintained for a long time. China will always face the uncertainty of the enemy's upper abdomen to be affected by the enemy.
