After listening to the words of the Minister of Defense, many generals sweated for this Gankji, you must know that although the Prime Minister is nominally the second head of state, there is a president above him, but the power of the president is only nominal, and his title as the supreme head of state and first citizen and the supreme commander of the Indian armed forces is only symbolic, and the largest and most powerful power in the Indian government is exercised by the Council of Ministers led by the Prime Minister, which means that the Prime Minister is invincible among the senior officials of India.

In their hearts, no minister would dare to accuse the prime minister to his face, even if he was wronged. They all quietly looked at the old man who was sitting in the first place with the rest of their eyes, worried that he would suffer a heart attack and fall unconscious or even die because of this.

To their surprise, the old man was not as angry as they thought, and the expression on his face barely changed, still with a straight face, looking at Gankji who was talking with an eagle-like gaze.

I don't know if it's because the prime minister feels that what he just said is too much, or because he is too anxious to think about the meaning of what Gankji said, or because he cares too much about what to do next. He waited for Gankji to pause in the middle and interjected: "Then how do you think we should answer the media and public opinion about the reason for the sinking of our aircraft carrier?" ”

Gankji was stunned, he thought that the prime minister would be angry because of this, so he was also ready to be scolded, and the reason why he wanted to publicly refute it was because he could not afford that responsibility, and besides, it was not his defense minister who decided to use force against Pakistan, and he never encouraged the prime minister and other high-ranking officials to use force against Pakistan.

In response to the Prime Minister's inquiry, he simply said that the army was sure to defeat the Pakistani army and that it was sure to make the Pakistani government beg for peace. If what the Prime Minister just said gets out. Some well-intentioned people will attribute the responsibility for the sinking of the "Matlaus" aircraft carrier to him. So where is his burial? Even his wife and children have nowhere to hide?

Therefore he must refute. The responsibilities imposed on us must be pushed back.

Seeing the prime minister's calm inquiry, Gankji was not good to fight back again, and began to look for a new scapegoat, so he said: "I guess that the accident of the 'Matlaus' aircraft carrier this time was done by a Chinese submarine, we must try to prevent China from joining the war so quickly, we must first take down Pakistan, and then meet China's challenge." ”

The Prime Minister asked, still in the same tone: "Can you be sure that the aircraft carrier 'Matterlaus' was killed by a Chinese submarine this time?" So how should we deal with Chinese submarines? ”

When Gankji heard this, he realized that the prime minister in front of him was really cunning. On the surface, he didn't care about his own refutation just now, but in fact he was gradually implementing what he had just said that he had planted the responsibility on his head, and he was the prime minister, so he didn't need to say anything after he said it, and when the time came, someone would put his words on himself, the defense minister, and it would be useless to refute it now.

Gankeji felt sad in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said, "You have to ask the specific commander about this." ”

The Prime Minister smiled lightly, turned to the commander of the Eastern Fleet Command, Ramohan and asked, "Mr. Commander, Mr. Minister said let me ask you, please explain to me." ”

Although Ramohan was the commander of the Eastern Fleet Command. He was the immediate boss of the "Matlaus" aircraft carrier battle group, but when he received the sinking of the "Matterlaus" aircraft carrier, he also received an urgent call from the prime minister. There was no time to ask what happened to the "Matlaus" aircraft carrier battle group, and the reason for the sinking of the "Matterlaus" aircraft carrier was not known at all.

In fact, no one in the "Matterlaus" aircraft carrier battle group did not know why such a tragic incident occurred, and they did not know who the enemy was.

When I heard the prime minister's inquiry, I thought of the gossip that had been circulating in private about the discord between the prime minister and the defense minister, and thought of the open and covert struggle between the two men just now, and I felt both happy and sad when I learned that Defense Minister Gankji had become the prime minister's abandoned son and would be the scapegoat for the "Matlaus" aircraft carrier incident. I'm glad that I don't have to take on too much responsibility, and I have a tall man like the Minister of Defense on top.

The "Matlaus" aircraft carrier battle group is one of the three pillars of the Indian Navy, and the sinking of the "Matterlaus" aircraft carrier is a big event, and someone must come forward to take responsibility, and the first to bear the brunt is him, the commander of the Eastern Fleet Command, and only by introducing him or an official with a higher position than him can he cope with the reproach of public opinion and the reproach of the opposition party.

But thinking that the war has just begun, and as soon as a major event happens, the prime minister can't wait to leave a way back for himself, so he can't wait to push out the scapegoat, which is really chilling. You keep saying that everyone wants to be united, to be unanimous with the outside world, and you just want us to unite to protect you and protect your power.

However, Ramohan will not dare to go against the prime minister, let alone go out stupidly to offend the prime minister, in that case, the other party will definitely not hesitate to put the responsibility on himself and let himself fall into a hell from which he will never recover.

He made up his mind in an instant and said without hurry: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am very sad and anxious about the accident of the 'Matelaus' aircraft carrier, and what Mr. Secretary of Defense said just now is right, this is probably the work of a Chinese submarine, just like the last time our nuclear submarine was sunk by the Chinese, their Chinese's biggest and only ability is a sneak attack." ”

Hearing Ramohan follow Gankji's words, the prime minister's face was a little gloomy, but he did not speak, just nodded indifferently, and his eyes swept to Pradi, the chief of staff of the Eastern Fleet Command, next to Ramokhan.

Ramohan felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Although this sneak attack was carried out by Chinese submarines, the fundamental reason for this is that we did not take the necessary protective measures for the aircraft carrier battle group due to internal reasons in our army. It's not that our Eastern Fleet command doesn't do it, but that it doesn't have the power to do it, there's no way to do it. I hope that the higher authorities will give us the authority to give us the right to command our submarines. The best weapon against submarines is submarines, and only by placing submarines under our command can our fleet be safe. ”

Because the submarine has special strategic significance, and India's submarines are also imported, they are the treasure of the treasures, especially after the disappearance of the nuclear submarine, India has regarded the submarine as a treasure, and does not feel at ease to hand over the aircraft carrier battle group and submarines to the command of a department, but directly under the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense.

Because of the special nature of the submarine, even if it is not a nuclear submarine, many countries regard it as a strategic weapon, even the United States, Britain and other countries with strong naval strength attach great importance to submarines, and nuclear submarines are even more important, and many times their jurisdiction is very high.

As a country lacking submarines, India naturally attaches great importance to it, and handing over the command of submarines to the Ministry of Defense is the result of collective discussions among senior officials, and the speed of conventional submarines owned by India is too low, and it is difficult to cooperate with aircraft carrier battle groups. However, Ramohan is now proposing to return the submarine from the Ministry of National Defense, on the one hand, to expand his power and at the same time to provide more security for the aircraft carrier battle group, and on the other hand, the main reason is to show that there is a contradiction between himself and Gankji and to draw a clear line with Gankji in front of the prime minister.

Just now, when the prime minister saw that he pretended to echo Gankjee's words, he showed dissatisfaction, and he turned his eyes on Pradi, chief of staff of the Eastern Fleet Command, isn't it just hinting that if he doesn't go with him, he may change his commander on the spot?

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the prime minister's face calmed down a lot.

Gankji couldn't imagine that his direct subordinate Ramohan would fall into the well like this, and couldn't help but ask angrily: "What is the use of asking for our submarine?" Will they be able to cooperate with your military operations? Its speed under the water is not even two-thirds of the speed of an aircraft carrier, how can they cooperate? You should vigorously strengthen anti-submarine warfare, and you should increase anti-submarine training, instead of letting submarines slow you down.

Don't let me say what the characteristics of submarines are, right? What they are best at is sneak attack, and the place they should use most is to lurk, that is, to control the enemy with a sword, and you use strategic weapons as ordinary bodyguards, do you want to make the aircraft carrier battle group a sharp weapon of war or as an object to be protected? ”

……

Just when India's high-level intrigues and power struggles, Pakistan issued an official statement at this time, and the Pakistani defense minister stood in front of the camera and said with a stern face: "...... The Indian government shamelessly launched a war of aggression against Pakistan, trying to turn the Pakistani people into their slaves, to turn our Pakistani resources into their resources, and to become the hegemon of Southeast Asia and even Asia, and then to become a world power. They first provoked an incident in Kashmir and sent a 'South Asian Hurricane' special operations force to infiltrate our country, and after being completely annihilated by us, they fired a large number of missiles.

However, they far underestimated our will to resist and overestimated their own capabilities, and as a result, all kinds of aggression failed, and they suffered a large number of casualties and lost a large number of weapons and equipment. Seeing that all the incursions could not destroy the defensive lines of our Pakistani army, and seeing that their military adventures were about to fail, they shamelessly resorted to massacring civilians to bring us to their knees, dispatching the "Matlaus" aircraft carrier battle group, and using hundreds of fighter planes to carpet bomb our undefended city of Sujaro, and countless bombs fell from the sky, directly on the roads, on the houses of civilians, and directly on the heads of ordinary people. ……”
