Chapter 1364: A Shocking Sound
As India's public opinion about cracking down on Pakistan became very loud, the Pakistani side was naturally not far behind, and soon launched a propaganda machine to start-for-tat, began to insult India, and began to shout that it wanted to take revenge and take back the territory occupied by India. At the same time, it condemned India's troop buildup on the India-Pakistani border and the Indian Navy's show of force in the Indian Ocean on Pakistan's doorstep.
There is a group known for its violent attacks that has openly declared that it will give India a huge surprise and make them completely sober and abandon the delusion of invading Pakistan.
……
For a time, the war of public opinion between the two countries was in full swing, and it also affected other countries, some cheered for one of them, some cheered for the other, some said that India was aggressive, some said that Pakistan was pampered and arrogant, some said that India was completely incapable of starting a war, and some said that Pakistan was vulnerable......
However, the overall situation in the world is still moving in a stable direction, and the terror guns of those independent countries on the territory of the former Soviet Union have begun to slowly decrease, and only a few hot spots have no signs of stopping because of ethnic contradictions, and even intensifying. China, on the other hand, has been immersed in economic construction and production recovery, and has worked hard to improve the living standards of the people in the newly returned country. The Eastern European countries are committed to privatization, to integration with the West, and to the pursuit of those illusory democratic-......
The world seems to be mostly calm, but no one expected that this was just an illusion before the storm arrived. The demon of turmoil is already in mid-air, showing that it is ready to pounce and devour humans.
Between the rivers Varana and Asi, in the middle reaches of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, India, there is a city called Varanasi, which enjoys the "light of India". It is the largest historic city along the Ganges River in India. Legend has it that it was built 6,000 years ago by Lord Shiva, who is one of the main gods of Brahmanism and Hinduism. As early as the IV-VI centuries BC. It has become the academic center of India. In the fifth century B.C., the Buddha Shakyamuni once came here to preach and preach.
In the seventh century, Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty of China, made a pilgrimage to the city, and he described in detail the ancient buildings, the life of the residents, the prosperity of the market, the religious conditions and the customs of the city in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". In the 12th century, the ancient dynasties of India established their capital here. Today, Varanasi is a medium-sized city in India, but it is known as a holy place for Hinduism.
The city has a population of 1 million and more than 1,500 temples of all kinds. The alleys of the city are winding. There are many temples and palaces, and there are two or three million people who receive worshippers or take holy baths in the Ganges River every year, and there is an endless stream of foreign tourists.
At the beginning of July, the weather in India was already very hot, the scorching sun hung high in the sky and radiated heat, and the endless stream of tourists were still in high spirits to visit the various temple buildings under the guidance of their guides. Since today is the day for certain types of believers to worship the monkey god, there are many pilgrims in many temples.
A topless wanderer is a very ordinary one among many wanderers, but at this time, his eyes are sharp, and a sinister smile appears on his face. When he saw a group of travelers who were obviously from Europe and the United States, led by the director, enter a golden temple not far ahead, he silently put his right hand into the old strip of cloth wrapped around his waist. Gently pressed it-
"Boom!" There was a slight tremor in the ground as his fingers pressed, followed by a deafening loud thud. With that loud noise, the huge temple that was magnificent just now seemed to be pressed down by a huge hand, and the top of the temple collapsed downward like a crushed egg, but soon it splashed upward, and the smoke of gunpowder rolled up into the sky with wood, stones, and human bodies......
Then the earth continued to tremble, and a loud noise swept over like a wave, staggering the surrounding travelers, vendors, and pedestrians, stunned, and pale.
Shortly after the explosion of this temple, huge explosions were heard in the distance, and the naked eye could see clouds of gunpowder rising around it.
In an instant, the city called Varanasi turned into a hell on earth, full of fragments of the corpses of the dead and mottled bloodstains, screams and howls everywhere, the dead turned into fragments and splashed everywhere, and the wounded moaned and struggled on the ground, the tourists who had just been in high spirits now fled in all directions like headless flies looking for their safe place, those itinerant small traders were terrified but still guarding the stalls that supported their families, but their thin bodies could not stop the crowd of people who were desperately fleeing, and some of them were pushed down, Some were pushed away, some were trampled underfoot, and more vendors abandoned their stalls and goods, and were pushed forward by the crowd......
The eyes of the wanderer who had pressed the radio remote button just now were full of grim smiles, and the cripples of the dead and the wails and moans of the wounded, as well as the innocents running in panic, not only did not make him feel sorrow, did not make him feel the slightest sympathy and pity, but made him more excited and excited.
He watched the panicked crowd with cold eyes, watched the homeless people around him cry and run, and watched a woman cry helplessly holding a child whose right leg had been broken by a boulder falling from the sky, he snorted coldly, and then walked out of a drink stand not far away as planned, where there were still some leaflets to throw out.
When he approached the drink stall, ten meters away from the counter, when he saw the man behind the counter looking at him in horror, the drink stall suddenly flew up with the frightened man. The scorching smoke swept through the debris in the beverage stand, and the wind swept up the homeless man like a fallen leaf, and he rolled up high and slammed it on a boulder more than ten meters behind.
The homeless man's head was in chaos, only the sharp pain in his body was telling him, and he did not escape the damage of the explosion, as his head cleared, he knew that his two legs were broken, his two arms were not obeying, the blood gushing out of his chest and the collapsed chest told him, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken.
At this point, he couldn't even stand up, let alone get out of here. His body writhed with instinct or from the twitching of his nerves, as if he was struggling, but he himself did not know what he was doing, and it was only at the moment when his stump rolled off the boulder that he understood that he had become an outcast, that he was just a tool.
"No—" he exclaimed, his heart constantly cheering for himself, "I must get out of here, I must tell the people of the world, I am not reconciled, how can they kill me......"
The death of someone else seemed nothing to him, but his own death became unacceptable.
He rolled off the boulder and crawled with the two arms that had just recovered a sensation but were in excruciating pain: a centimeter, a centimeter, and a moment......
His consciousness was getting blurred, and blood was gurgling down his wounds. However, he failed, and he was trampled to death by countless even more panicked crowds, trampled to pulp......
Sirens sounded in the city of Varanasi, and countless military police officers were immediately ordered to rush to the blast sites, and ambulances began to honk sirens and drive towards the places where the smoke had not yet disappeared.
On the same day, the Indian Prime Minister issued a statement immediately after the incident, strongly condemning the bombing incident, saying that he would concentrate all his efforts to find out the truth and severely punish the perpetrators, whether they are an organization or a country, and at the same time implored the people to remain calm and give the government time to investigate, believing that the government will investigate clearly.
India's Home Minister claimed that the series of bombings was completely organized and premeditated, and that they were completely aimed at undermining local social stability and India's peaceful environment, and that it was a crime against mankind all over the world and, more importantly, against the Indian people.
India's Home Ministry held an emergency meeting on the same day, and the Minister of Home Affairs called on India's major political parties to temporarily put aside their partisan divisions, jointly condemn this series of bombing attacks, safeguard India's political situation, and not let our enemies secretly laugh.
A wave of condemnation followed in the international community, starting with a statement by the President of the United States strongly condemning the bombings, expressing condolences to the victims and expressing sympathy for the Indian Government. This was followed by a statement by the U.S. Secretary of State, who, on behalf of the U.S. government, announced that he would provide $200 million in humanitarian assistance to India, along with a shipment of defensive weapons to strengthen India's internal defenses.
Then there was the condemnation of the bombing by the UN Secretary-General on behalf of the United Nations, calling on all countries to condemn and crack down on violent criminals together and not to provide soil for violent criminals to survive.
France, Britain and other major countries have issued statements one after another, in addition to strongly condemning and expressing condolences to the victims, that is, to send humanitarian aid, arms and ammunition, and political support.
China, Russia and other countries have also issued statements of condemnation, but did not announce the delivery of money and goods, China only expressed concern, if India invites, China can send a medical team to treat the injured as soon as possible, can also send a construction team to help India repair the bombed temples and other buildings. Russia, for its part, only condemned and urged the rebels in the former Soviet Union to cease fire and negotiate with the government as much as possible, and not to insist on going their own way, because in this world, violence is not the only way, nor is it the best way to achieve the goal.
The Pakistani Prime Minister also condemned the series of bombings, and at the same time refuted some media speculation that the so-called series of explosions were carried out by organizations supported by the Pakistani government, and some media even said that this was simply a bombing operation orchestrated by Pakistan's intelligence agencies, and its purpose was to divert India's attention from the India-Pakistan border to the country, to undermine the confidence of Indians, and to drag India into chaos.
