Child. [No pop-up novel network]

While artillery rumbled outside the city, the mobile reserve was engaged in a decisive battle with the armored forces of the Republican Army. But Indian soldiers and civilians in the city were discussing the contents of the leaflets.

Has Rurajapani left New Delhi already?

Is New Delhi surrounded?

Is there an army of millions out there?

Will the defenders blow up all of New Delhi?

Panic spread quickly, and it was not only the citizens who were feeling hopeless, but also the military, especially those who had just responded to Rurajapani's call. Military men who take up arms.

At the end of the day, about thousands of reservists who had torn off their epaulettes and tens of thousands of citizens broke through the blockade set up by the garrison outside the Prime Minister's Office. Pouring into the Prime Minister's Office. All they saw was the empty Prime Minister's Office, not the Prime Minister, who had vowed to live and die with New Delhi.

News spread quickly that Rurajapani had fled.

No longer hearsay, but fact.

The situation in the city immediately spiraled out of control, and citizens who had remained at home in accordance with the government's wartime orders took to the streets and looted supplies. Although Gujarad immediately ordered the army to be dispatched to suppress it, the army that went to suppress it quickly became chaotic, and many soldiers even took off their uniforms and joined the looting team. There is no doubt that, in extreme cases, repression can only be counterproductive. Don't say anything else. Most of the defenders of New Delhi were newly drafted reservists, and most of these soldiers were New Delhi natives. Is it possible for them to suppress their relatives and friends? For these soldiers, who do not have much morale, saving their lives is the goal. Besides. The prime minister fled New Delhi to save his life, so why should the soldiers stay and wait for death?

Gujarad did not realize this mistake and instead sent more troops to suppress the rebellion.

The more troops were sent, the more serious the riots became.

It is no longer possible to determine who fired the first shot, but after the first shots, the riot turned into bloodshed, and then into a battle between the repressive forces and the citizens who took up arms.

Before the Republican ** team entered New Delhi, the defenders of New Delhi fought street battles.

Around the corner, a force of tens of thousands of armed civilians stormed the Tishman on the east bank of the Yamula River, and many New Delhi Indian soldiers defected during the battle and joined the civilian front. The fighting continued until around the pass, and civilians occupied the camp. Immediately began to loot the military supplies that had been hoarded in the camp. To be precise, thousands of tons of grain were prepared for the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers.

For the civilian population of New Delhi, food is needed most.

After the country entered a state of war, the Indian government completely abolished market transactions and provided daily necessities to the people of the country in the form of rationing. Although New Delhi is the capital and has received extra care, everyone's lives have been affected.

According to the regulations of the Indian government, the monthly ration of male adults from the age of old age is kilograms, the monthly ration of female horns is kilograms, the monthly rations of minors under the age of old are 10,000 kilograms, and the monthly rations of the elderly over the age of age are uniform; In addition to grain, the rest of the non-staple food. and the necessities of life are subject to production control. For example, male adults can only receive kilograms of pork per month.

From a certain point of view, the Indian government's approach is understandable, and any country will control strategic goods in times of war, and food is the most important strategic material. What's more, India is the most populous country in the world, and although it is blessed with unique conditions, the Gangetic Plain is the most fertile agricultural region in the world. India is the world's second largest grain producer, the first is the Republic, the second is the United States, the grain production is not low, but compared to its huge population, India's grain production simply cannot meet domestic demand. About one-third of all food needs to be imported. Before the outbreak of the war, India's strategic grain reserves were only enough to meet the country's needs for three months, and India's war plan was to last for several years. The Ganges Plain fell before the mouth moon, and the mouth moon is the grain harvest period, India has lost its largest "strategic granary", and the grain problem is even more prominent, and it is natural to strengthen control.

From this point of view, Pei Chengyi's resolute advocacy of a strategic offensive line of first the east and then the west is very reasonable.

The Gangetic Plain is a major grain-producing region in India. But it is not the most densely populated region in India, where about a third of India's population is concentrated in the northwest, with New Delhi as the center and only one-sixth of India's total land area. Other words. With control of the Gangetic Plain, Indians in the northwest will face the problem of eating.

In fact, while Pei Chengyi was busy directing his troops to attack New Delhi and Surat, the occupation forces sent by Burma and Nepal were actively organizing Indians in the occupied areas to come out and harvest grain. In order to gain the trust of the locals, the occupying forces not only did not collect grain, but also helped the Indians to harvest the grain, and promised to let the Indians exchange the harvest grain for fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, agricultural tools and other agricultural production materials according to the negotiated price between the two sides. With the gradual introduction of the occupation policy, the occupying forces also promised the locals to exchange grain, agricultural and sideline products from the occupying forces for cloth, medicine, household appliances, bicycles, coal, and other daily necessities. For the peasants, who make up the vast majority of the population in the occupied territories, these policies of the occupying forces can bring them enormous benefits.

Undoubtedly, the citizens of New Delhi were not so lucky.

More importantly, after the outbreak of war. The Air Force of the Republic has been bombing New Delhi. Although there were no grain warehouses specifically for New Delhi, there were still quite a few warehouses where grain was stored, and the warehouses controlled by the Kawajihei team were killed in order to destroy the Lingwu Gongichi supplies. Bombers often used incendiary bombs with added thermal agents. The most conservative estimate is that at least 10,000 tons of grain were burned to ashes, which is equivalent to a month's ration for the soldiers and civilians of New Delhi. For New Delhi, which had little food in stock, it was undoubtedly a great disaster.

Because of the premature fall of the grain-producing areas, a large number of grain stocks were destroyed! So at the beginning of the month, the Indian government lowered rations, cutting food supplies by a third. Even so, many citizens are still unable to receive their food rations on time because New Delhi has too little food to spare. According to journalists and foreign embassy personnel who remained in New Delhi after the war, rice on the black market in New Delhi was sold for 10,000 rupees per kilogram, which is equivalent to the old dollar at the official Indian exchange rate and four dollars to the thugs at the black market rate. Either price, it's incredibly expensive.

You know, the international gold price in the same period was only US dollars per gram.

It can be seen that the mouth and the moon force day. Most households in New Delhi have bottomed out their rice bowls.

In inverse proportion to the starving citizens, the defenders of New Delhi were not hungry. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, in addition to increasing the ration of military personnel, the Indian government has also ensured the food supply of the army. Let's be honest. In doing so, the Indian government also hopes to recruit more soldiers. On the other hand, many young people who "responded" to the call did not really want to work for the government because they wanted to eat in the army. Long before the day of the moon, the Indian military police had shot several soldiers who had stolen military supplies, and what they had stolen was nothing more than bags of rice or flour, not so-called military supplies at all. And among these servicemen who stole "military supplies". Most of them are fathers of several children, and all they do is to fill their children's stomachs.

In fact, since the beginning of the month, the problem of "hunger" in New Delhi has been very prominent.

According to some journalists back from New Delhi. Every day, people go hungry on the streets, and the most important thing New Delhi citizens do is to look around for food during the day, and the wild vegetables that can be eaten in the suburbs and urban parks of New Delhi have long been emptied, and some citizens sell their children and daughters in exchange for food from farmers in the suburbs, and there are even several "human trade markets" on the outskirts of New Delhi.

A French-Indian journalist risked his life to go deep into the market to investigate, and not only children were traded in the market, but also adult women, especially young and beautiful women, and a child could get up to a kilogram of grain, while a young woman of a famous age could get it! A field of kilograms of grain, a beautiful one can be exchanged for four kilograms of grain. The people who control the trading market are military men with backgrounds. And behind the scenes, they support these soldiers and provide food. It is some international human smuggling syndicates.

After the war, the journalist also conducted follow-up investigations, and most of the population was sold abroad. Male children are mainly sent to war-torn areas in Africa. Some became child soldiers under the warlords. Others became slaves on the plantations; Female children are sold mainly to remote countries or countries with a severely disproportionate population, and some of them are sold to the Republic after changing hands several times; Adult females were mainly sent to Western countries such as Europe, the United States, and Canada, and the Jeho part became the deceased daughters of underground homes controlled by the mafia.

According to the findings of the investigative work of the journalist. Within a few months, at least 10,000 children and 20,000 adult women were trafficked, and the ship did not survive to the burning years. Because smuggling syndicates send people around the world, mainly through Pakistan and Nepal, the Pakistani and Nepalese governments arrested hundreds of military personnel, dozens of whom were sentenced, after the reporter published the report.

The disaster in New Delhi is not a disaster for one city. It is a disaster for a country and a people.

The question is, can you blame the profit-driven traffickers?

In the words of an American politician implicated in the incident, a kilogram of grain can be exchanged for a light, beautiful, and obedient woman, as long as it is not a normal person who treats money as dung. In terms of business law, in the case of profit margins as high as one million. Even if it is a headless business, the vast majority of people will take risks.

The root of the problem is the Indian government, if the citizens are allowed to fill their bellies, who will betray their loved ones?

When the government still has prestige, the citizens will not rebel. As a rebellious acceptance. In the case of a nation that has won independence with a non-violent non-cooperation movement, the population will not rebel at gunpoint. Only when the government completely loses its prestige. When the army is no longer under the control of the government, the people will rebel!

The first barracks were robbed, and there was no way to stop the hungry citizens from looting the second, third, and barracks.

By the evening of the same day, the rioting citizens ransacked the Tastariza barracks and looted about 30,000 tons of food.

There is no doubt that for the citizens of New Delhi, 30,000 tons of food is not even enough to fill their teeth. What's more, as the rush began, as some citizens carried food bags home, those who still had some food at home and were still waiting to see also joined in.

In troubled times, of course, the more food, the better.

That night, a convoy carrying military rations for the mobile reserve was ambushed on the outskirts of New Delhi.

Of course, the ambushers were not republican **, but armed civilians.

More than one of the officers and men of the escort unit, including many drivers, were killed, and when the rescue force arrived, the convoy had already been ransacked. Many trucks were burned.

That night, Pei Chengyi issued an order to the army and Yinhan to only defend and not counterattack.

Because early warning aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have long been dispatched to monitor the urban area of New Delhi. , so what happened to the new Bundesliga, Pei Chengyi is very clear

After adjusting the combat operations, Pei Chengyi did not forget to contact Xiang Linghui and asked the General Staff to send a batch of grain over as soon as possible.

The riots in New Delhi show that food stocks in the city are running out. In other words, New Delhi belongs to whoever can provide the thugs with food to feed their citizens.

There is another very important point. That is, whoever can feed the defenders of New Delhi will die for whomever the defenders will serve.

As the scope of looting expanded, more and more soldiers joined the ranks of looting. Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have to eat. The first to make trouble were the troops who had looted the camps, because the food had been taken by the citizens and scattered among thousands of families, and it was obviously not practical to collect food from the civilian population, so the most direct way was to loot other camps, or to loot warehouses controlled by the garrison.

The army joined the looting operation, and the situation could no longer be controlled.

By the morning of the Introduction, the conflict had turned into a "civil war." "The unlooted army desperately defended the camp, while the army without food attacked desperately.

The whole of New Delhi is crazy, and the servicemen no longer fight for their country, but for their own belly.

As the "civil war" dragged on at noon, the belligerent Indian troops suddenly stopped and turned their attention to the most favored New Delhi garrison.

Among the many combat units of the Indian army, the garrison has the highest status.

As an armed force absolutely loyal to the Prime Minister, the Metropolitan Garrison is not only responsible for the security of New Delhi in peacetime, but also a military force directly under the command of the Prime Minister in wartime. While more than half of the garrison left New Delhi in the name of protecting the transferred government officials, nearly half remained in New Delhi. In general, the garrison does not participate in frontal combat, and its main task is to supervise other troops, similar in nature to the gendarmerie. Under the mandate of Rurajapani, the actual power of the garrison was far greater than that of the gendarmes, and even servicemen of other armies could be executed. On the other hand, the garrison is treated far better than that of ordinary troops, not only is there no problem with food supply, but other daily necessities are extremely abundant. You can also enjoy special treatment that other troops do not have. For example, the families of all the officers and most of the soldiers in the garrison have been taken care of, and many have even left New Delhi.

Straight since. The other troops dared not speak out against the garrison.

When the Indian troops, who are fighting each other, understand this, they will definitely aim the spearhead at the garrison.

The camp of the garrison was not looted. There must be a lot of grain.

In the afternoon of the same day, tens of thousands of soldiers from several divisions rushed to the garrison camp located on the outskirts.

As you can imagine, after the warning was ineffective, the officers and men of the garrison guarding the camp opened fire first. Although in just a few minutes, hundreds of Indian troops were killed and thousands were wounded. However, the "self-defense" behavior of the garrison not only did not deter the Indian troops outside, but instead led to an all-out confrontation.

The camp was attacked, and the garrison, which was on duty outside, immediately returned.

News also spread as the garrison concentrated on the camp, and more and more defenders joined the assault on the garrison's camp. There's no denying it. Most of the defenders were just for food. It is also undeniable that some of the defenders are not short of food, they are just not used to the garrison troops that are powerful and powerful in their daily lives.

The situation in the rear was out of control, and the mobile reserves, which had been hungry for a day, had no fighting spirit.

Pei Chengyi did not let the Pin army and the leading army pursue. Because the wounded and the leading army did not carry much rations. At this time, the invasion of New Delhi can only make the Indian army hate the enemy and target the intruders.

In Pei Chengyi's opinion, it is better to wait for the Indian army to fight enough, and then clean up the mess.

On the night of the day, the mobile reserve entered the city of New Delhi.

It can be said that the attitude of this force will determine the situation in New Delhi, because both the garrison and the rebel defenders are basically infantry, and there is not much armor. The mobile reserve is a veritable armored unit. Or the main armored forces. In front of the mobile reserve. Both the garrison and the reserve were vulnerable.

As a result, New Delhi was much quieter that night.

It was at this time that Gujarad issued a most stupid order: let the mobile reserve supercharge the rebel army.

Gujarad forgot one thing, that is, the mobile reserve is not a garrison.

Although the treatment of the main forces that formed the mobile reserve was also very good, the officers and men did not have to worry about food and drink. However, no main force can look down on the garrison, because it is the main force that sells its life, and it is the garrison that enjoys its success. Most importantly. The food escorted by the garrison did not reach the mobile reserves, although it was civilians who looted the convoy. But the mobile reserve could not aim its guns at the civilians, and could only vent its anger on the garrison.

Gujarad at this time let the mobile reserve suppress the rebel army, which is simply shooting himself in the foot.

That night, part of the mobile reserve aimed its guns at the garrison, but most of the troops of the mobile reserve took a wait-and-see attitude and did not participate in the "civil war", but as long as an armored unit was put into battle, the garrison did not want to hold the camp.

That night, Pei Chengyi received a call from Xiang Linghui.

The train carrying grain has already left Yecheng. Grain can be delivered to the front line within three days. In addition, Xiang Linghui also asked the front-line command to make arrangements as soon as possible to send a special unit to New Delhi.

At this point, Pei Chengji breathed a sigh of relief.

In three days, the melee in New Delhi will be over.
