Chapter 1350: The Heated Debate of the High-ranking Officials
The night after the article was published, the Indian authorities lied.
On the one hand, they used the power of the police to keep the news circulating in China as quietly as possible, and on the other hand, they secretly sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Hong Kong and the Maldives to investigate and track down the author of the article. Senior officials immediately convened a meeting on the article to consider how to counteract its impact and how to respond to inquiries from the media or the public.
The meeting was chaired by Defense Minister Gankji himself, and was urgently summoned to attend the meeting by Defense Chief of Staff Pace, Commander of the Southern Military Region Bhupati, Eastern Fleet Command Commander Ramohan and Chief of Staff Pradi, Commander of the Southern Cochin Training Base Haralsin, Commander of the East Coast Guard Guzaris, Director of the State Information and Intelligence Service Shekaldera and others.
Except for the commander of the Southern Military Region, Bupati, who had a little unhappiness and a little imperceptible schadenfreude on his face, everyone else had a stern look on his face. The commander of the Eastern Fleet Command, Ramohan, was even more flustered, and never dared to look up at Gankeji, who was sitting at the right end of the long table, but occasionally glanced at his chief of staff, Pradi, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Chief of Staff Pradi also noticed the anger of his boss, but he pretended not to see it, and sat up straight, to be honest, he was not used to seeing this boss who did not have the slightest courage and no assertiveness.
Defense Minister Gankji was also a little flustered, this ballistic missile nuclear submarine was the one he strongly requested to buy, and he persuaded the prime minister to buy it from the limited funds, and when it was purchased, he led a team of people to travel between European countries and constantly persuaded the bigwigs of the French, British and other governments.
He gave these people an unknown amount of bribes, and he did not know how many young girls he sent to them to enjoy. In order to make the Indian Navy stronger, even he himself took out an old antique and gave it to an intermediary. It took a lot of effort and wear out to buy this old French nuclear submarine and replace it with some expensive new equipment.
At that time, he made a package to the prime minister: "I dare to guarantee that the combat effectiveness of this ballistic missile nuclear submarine is three orders of magnitude stronger than our conventional submarines, and much more powerful than China's nuclear submarines." Yes, it's old, but it's just a little bit longer and the performance hasn't dropped. Besides, is there still less old equipment purchased in our country? Since they have not had major accidents for so many years, I am sure that this nuclear submarine will not be even more, and there are French and British specialists on it to assist us. If the quality of this nuclear submarine is not good. How could they be willing and dare to stay on top? ”
However, now the nuclear submarine is gone.
He had not been contacted several times until now, and he knew that the nuclear submarine, which had pinned too many hopes, must be more than lucky, although there was no evidence that it was the sunken submarine in the South China Sea.
If it was sunk by another country, it would be better to say, at least not his personal responsibility. It is also possible to use guò to insult the sneak attacker to divert the conflict. However, if it sank because of an internal fault in the submarine and caused it to explode on its own, or if the commander made a mistake in directing the submarine and caused the boat to be destroyed and killed, then the responsibility will be great, and it is difficult to say whether the position of defense minister can continue to sit down.
Gankeji has been an official for many years, and he still has the ability not to write panic on his face.
He glanced disdainfully at the commander of the Eastern Fleet Command, Ramohan, and then at Bhupati, who was a little gloating. It wasn't until the latter lowered his head in panic that he withdrew his gaze. "It's been a hard time for all of you," he said. Yes, you are anxious, and I am anxious. Can we not be in a hurry? This Black Shark nuclear submarine is our brainchild. It carries so much of our hopes, and it is the flag for the rise of our Indian Navy.
Moreover, there were our comrades-in-arms and our experts in the submarine, and I personally had dinner with them when I went to sea. With this nuclear submarine. We dare to pray for a miracle before we go to bed, praying that we will be able to catch up with our northern neighbor in a short time. Hopefully, we can surpass China, so that we can repay the humiliation of 40 years ago.
Now our Black Shark may have suffered a real misfortune, but I hope that all of you here will not be devastated by this and will not lose confidence because of this. If someone had shamelessly attacked our Black Shark, I swore here today that we would pay them back with blood. Yes, I would like to remind you again of the generals who sit down again that there are people who do not want us to rise, who do not want us to catch up and surpass them. This revenge must be avenged! If it's ours, we must take it back, and if we can't take it, we must take it back. ”
Gankji glanced at the crowd in front of him, and several old generals clearly remembered that scene from decades ago, and their eyes appeared with vengeful anger. Gankji continued: "I have called you here today because someone has published an article in a newspaper and a lot of Western media have reprinted it. There's a lot of bad stuff about us in it, and the reason why I'm going to focus on this nonsense article is because it points out a core problem, and it is determined that our Black Shark submarine has sunk. ”
The commander of the Southern Military District, Bhupati, and the commander of the Southern Cochin Training Base, Haralshin, snorted in unison, while the others lowered their heads. The screamers were obviously pretending, and now even fools know that something happened to the nuclear submarine. Some people have also read the article that was first published in a Hong Kong newspaper.
Gankji said to Shekaldra, director of the National Information and Intelligence Agency, who was sitting on the right: "Shekaldera, you send that article to everyone, and then tell you the results of your analysis." ”
Shecaldera, who was also a soldier, hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes! Then he quickly pulled out a stack of buns from his leather bag, which he never left. He swiftly sent these materials to the generals and the defense ministers.
He nodded to Defense Minister Gankji and Defense Chief of Staff Pace and said: "This article was published in a Hong Kong newspaper by an unknown author, under the signature of an apparently pseudonym. In other words, this article is equivalent to an anonymous article. We are currently investigating the author in Hong Kong, as well as the Bar mentioned in the article and the fishermen who appeared in the Bar in the Marshall Islands. ”
Hearing this, the commander of the Southern Military District, Bupati, didn't know what the reason was, he actually let out a deafening sneeze, and the loud sound not only interrupted the words of the Minister of Defense, but also his violently shaking body also drove the tables and chairs to make a chirping sound, especially his right arm turned over the coffee cup placed on the table on his chest, and the black coffee flowed to the thigh of Guzaris, the commander of the East Coast Guard diagonally opposite.
Guzaris smiled generously, then lowered his head to continue reading the material, despite the warm coffee staining his pants.
Defense Minister Gankji glared at Bhupati angrily again, and then gestured with his gaze to Shecardra, who had stopped, to continue.
Shecardra hurriedly said: "......, because it is foreign media, we can't eliminate their influence, and we can't control the spread of these news to our country, we can only take some measures at home......"
Haralsin, commander of the southern Cochin training base, looked at Shekaldera, who was younger than him, and asked sarcastically: "Is it necessary to control all this news that everyone knows?" Is it that your intelligence services are too idle, and this kind of anonymous article investigation is meaningless without investigation. ”
Although Haralsin is the son of the former prime minister, he has never looked at himself in his eyes, but the former prime minister has been dead for many years, and Shecardra is not afraid of him at all in the background, not to mention that the nuclear submarine accident also has a share of this guy's responsibility, so as soon as Haralsin's words fell, Shekaldera retorted: "Of course you only know how to drive around in a gunboat, how do you know if it is necessary to control the news?" At present, whether our nuclear submarine has sunk or not, and if so, there is no clue who sank it. ”
Haralsin puffed out his eyes and asked, "Mr. Director, do you really think that you need to investigate this by all the people?" The nuclear submarine must have sunk, Mr. Secretary of Defense just said it, and this is what the Chinese did, and the place where the accident happened is the South China Sea, which is where they claim to be their territory. Even if it's not them, we have to think it's them. Because only we who have sunk it can and are embarrassed to say it, and other countries that have the ability to sink our nuclear submarines, do we dare to seek revenge from them? If they were sunk by the inferior strength of the navy, would we still have the face to ask them for an explanation? ”
Shekaldera said angrily: "Then you mean that we in India can only bully the weak and fear the hard? ”
Haralsin sneered and asked rhetorically: "Besides, do you really think that the Chinese are weak?" ”
Defense Minister Gankji and Defense Chief of Staff Pace glanced at each other, and Gankji interrupted the two and said, "Okay, stop arguing, get down to business." ”
Although Shekaldera hated Haralsin in his heart, he still had to show a smile to Gankji and the others, and said: "According to our analysis of this article, this author is pretending to be a tourist to the Marshall Islands, and he does not have any good feelings towards us India. And this kind of impression can be found lightly on the military website of the Internet, which has only just emerged in China. We, the Intelligence Service, consider the author to be Chinese. ”
