When Bo asked out of India's National Strategic Defense Command Center, Stark hadn't come over yet. After the outbreak of war, the U.S. Embassy rented a manor house in the suburbs. After settling the families of the embassy staff and temporary personnel like Stark, Stark suddenly realized that it must have been the Indian intelligence agencies that intercepted the intelligence coming through the embassy.

Stark guessed correctly, and India's Ministry of Home Security, led by Gamar, intercepted Dudgway's secret message to Stark. As Stark left the National Strategic Command Center, Rurajapani was reading the code

Depending on the position, the way of considering the problem will naturally be different.

Although Rurajapani is different from Duchway's point of view, if China intends to launch a strategic nuclear strike against India, it should act at the beginning of the war, rather than waiting until the war has been going on for many days, but the conclusion is exactly the same: China has no motive to launch a strategic nuclear strike against India. Nor will it take the initiative to use strategic weapons in war.

On the other hand, whether China will use fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons, which is somewhere between nuclear and conventional, is a completely different concern from Duchway.

There is a great debate in the international community about fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons, and the republics that have mastered cutting-edge technology and the United States have always believed that "high-power weapons" based on catalytic metallic hydrogen do not belong to the category of nuclear weapons, because the basic physical principles of the energy used by this weapon are completely different from those of nuclear weapons, and are closer to the amount of nuclear weapons used in the nuclear nucleus of conventional weapons. Conventional weapons use chemical energy on molecular bonds, and fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons, which use catalytic metallic hydrogen as the main energy carrier, use internuclear energy between nuclear energy and chemical energy, so they should not be characterized as nuclear weapons, but as conventional weapons. Second-rate powers such as Russia and France, which have not fully mastered cutting-edge technology, are ambiguous. The first is that they are unwilling to confront the thugs with the major powers on core issues, and the second is that it will not be long before they can master the core technology. Only third-rate powers such as India and Brazil, as well as countries such as Iran and the Philippines, which are at great odds with other powers, insist that fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons. Rather than conventional weapons that can be used on a large scale in war, they must be restricted. The vast majority of ordinary countries, out of their own security and national interests, also believe that fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons should be classified as weapons of mass destruction, and they should be restricted by international flagrant or other binding international treaties.

Fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons are very different from the previous fourth-generation nuclear weapons, and they do not produce radioactive contamination after use, and basically have no sustained killing capability. The threshold and flexibility of use are very large.

Whether fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons or not, no one can say whether they are safe or not

As long as China determines that fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons are not nuclear weapons and are not weapons of mass destruction, there is no international overt constraint. will be used.

From the position of Rurajapani, the squadron used fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons, what can India do?

There is already partial intelligence that in the naval battle of the Republic Navy annihilating the 2 major fleets of the Indian Navy in the "Naval Battle of the Eastern Indian Ocean", the attack submarines of the Chinese Navy have used powerful anti-ship torpedoes. According to the clues provided by the officers and men of the Eastern Fleet escort battleship who fled back to Visakhapatnam, the explosion of the anti-ship torpedo that hit 3 aircraft carriers was as powerful as tens of tons of steel, with a yield.

Because the thug is four kilograms, among the known chemical explosives, there is no kind of explosive that has a blasting power that is twice as strong as the sky, and the explosive power of any kind of tactical nuclear warhead will not be more than just stew, so it is enough to prove that the anti-ship torpedoes that hit the three aircraft carriers of the Indian Eastern Fleet were not equipped with chemical explosives, but catalytic metal hydrogen explosives with an explosive power between chemical explosives and nuclear warheads. In the strict sense of the word, those anti-ship torpedoes are fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons.

China has already used fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons in naval warfare, will it mind using them in ground combat?

If the intelligence gathered by India's Ministry of Home Security is correct, the squadron has used a new explosive device on the ground battlefield that is close to the power of fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons. In the battles against Tangu in Sikkim, as well as in Siliguri and Srinagar, the squadron used a powerful ground-penetrating bomb. Although the measured explosion power is only equivalent to several tons, except for the Zhao class bomb, no bomb has a mass of more than 2 concave kilograms, and the charge is generally between tens and hundreds of kilograms, even if the chemical explosives with the highest explosive power are used, it is impossible to reach the level of several tons. It can be inferred that those ground-penetrating bombs designed to hit underground targets are also likely to be equipped with catalytic metallic hydrogen explosives, or mixed explosives containing catalytic metallic hydrogen.

If that's the case. Rurajapani was even more helpless.

If India wants to retaliate against China by using fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons, it will not be able to wait until China has used fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons one after another.

Of course, Rurajapani also sees a bit of a pattern in this.

Although he is not a soldier, but with the keen insight of a politician, Rurajapani now believes that the squadron will only use those powerful weapons if it does not leave any handle for the enemy, that is, if the enemy does not get conclusive evidence from the battlefield. Needless to say, during the war, neither India nor the United States, which secretly supported India, could have conducted reconnaissance of the warships that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. On the land battlefield, the fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons are all ground-penetrating munitions, and even if the bombs fail to explode due to malfunction, India will not be able to find evidence in the war. But after the battle is over, I will collect and fight. And what about China? This proves that China is also trying to avoid getting into trouble.

What's more, China is working to lower the threshold for the use of fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons. Although, according to theoretical calculations carried out by the Alamos Laboratory in the United States, the explosive power of fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons can be stewed in the United States. The free adjustment between the cantonments and the continued reduction of the power of the explosion will greatly increase the difficulty of designing explosive devices, especially fuses. However, the power of the rainbow ton is obviously on the large side, and such a "conventional weapon" cannot be used in almost all conventional operations. The only way to lower the threshold for the use of fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons is to reduce their power and bring them closer to conventional weapons. There is no doubt that China has not only made great efforts, but has already achieved results. If the explosive power of fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons can be controlled to less than 3 stews, or even less than tons, it will be possible to use fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons to strike some targets that are difficult to destroy with conventional weapons, or that are difficult to destroy at one time, such as aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, or fortifications located dozens of meters underground.

It can be seen from this that China is testing the actual use of its fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons through war

In other words, China's "normal" actions up to this point were of a very experimental nature.

The results of this analysis made Rurajapani a little easier.

Since it is an experimental weapon, the amount of equipment is definitely not large, and you have to worry about falling into the hands of the enemy, so you can't use it as you like. As long as China uses it "sneakily", Rurajapani can turn a blind eye and not react too violently.

But as a pure politician, Rurajapani had to worry about something that even Du Nianwei had not considered.

That is, Pei Chengyi has a powerful fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapon in his hand, and the Indian army's defense has become a paper wall, and defeat is inevitable. And it will be born soon.

With the complete rout of the Indian army. The eastern region, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of the country's total land area, will inevitably fall, and India will be strategically extremely disadvantaged. The hope of winning the war is even slimmer. In the event of a certain loss of the war, Rurajapani's regime would be threatened. Not a threat from China, but a threat from within the country. Especially the threat from the military.

Indian civilians may not be willing to die for the Rurajapani government, but the Indian soldiers who have long been professionalized, especially those mid-level military officers who were born in the early century and were influenced by the wave of nationalist movements after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, and who have a strong nationalist spirit and even a populist spirit, certainly do not want India to be defeated, let alone watch India's defeat.

If only a threat from the military. Rurajadini also had nothing to worry about.

Soldiers who do not have political acumen, and soldiers who do not have the support of politicians cannot achieve great things.

The key problem is that when Rurajapani raised the banner of "war mobilization" and used war mobilization to nationalize a large number of enterprises that originally belonged to major families, and mercilessly attacked the traditional forces, India's domestic contradictions have intensified, as long as the traditional forces whose interests have been hit and the military with populist sentiments come together. There will certainly be a reaction that will unleash a destructive force capable of destroying the current regime in India.

Looking a little deeper, Rurajapani's fears are likely to come true.

The four years after the conflict in southern Tibet were a year of great social changes in India and a sign of a great readjustment of power in India. For the restoration of traditional powers, it is necessary to establish a foundation of power, and in addition to the political basis of controlling the National Assembly, it is also necessary to obtain security guarantees, that is, control of the army. Under India's political system, especially in the context of Rurajapani's unremitting efforts to promote the professionalization of the armed forces, it is not realistic to support factions in the armed forces, and it is more appropriate to adopt the means of bribing high-ranking generals with interests and using ideology to entrap grass-roots officers. In fact, this is the approach adopted by India's traditional forces. Senior Indian generals, including Fernandez and Gujarad, are involved in traditional forces, and most of the mid-level officers in their mid-range years have been influenced by the nationalist ideology promoted by traditional forces.

By controlling the heirs of the senior generals, Rurajapani stabilized the upper echelons of the army.

The problem now is that the only way to stabilize the rank and file officers is to give them hope, to see the hope of India's ultimate victory. As long as this hope is dashed, no one will be able to control the tens of thousands of mid-level officers who control the rank-and-file combat forces, even if all the senior generals are loyal to Rurajapani.

As long as the traditional forces take advantage of the dissatisfaction of mid-level officers with the government at the right time, they can throw up a bloody storm.

What the final result of the military uprising will be, Rurajapani does not dare to imagine, and does not need to imagine.

What discourages Rurajapani is. Faced with this obvious problem, there is no effective solution, not even a way to avoid it.

Even Rurajapani is dead, is there any hope for India?

While the Indian prime minister was hiding in the National Strategic Command Center and thinking about India's future, Pei Chengyi, who was arranging combat missions for the participating troops in Wauzirabad, was sweating profusely. When Dongfang Wen rushed over with the information received by the net, Yuan Chenhao also received a message from the General Staff.

After letting Dongfang smell contact the Military Intelligence Agency. Pei Chengyi put down his work and called Yuan Chenhao to the office.

"The support force is already very nervous, and a few aviation brigades have been transferred, what does the General Staff want to do?"

"How long is it until the campaign begins?"

"Two and a half hours."

Come and be stunned, wait for your sharp adjustment department to follow the requirements of the General Staff Headquarters and carefully "support the tactical aviation brigade to carry out the task of searching for and destroying the Indian army's missile and missile vehicles." ”

"General Pei, we,"

"Don't you understand what the General Staff means?" Pei Chengyi threw the intelligence document in his hand to Yuan Chenhao, "The Military Intelligence Agency is here, India has just entered the highest strategic alert state, the country's leaders, including the prime minister, have left New Delhi, and its strategic missile forces have also entered a state of combat readiness. ”

Yuan Chenhao's brows jumped a few times, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

"Don't worry, there won't be a nuclear war." Pei Chengyi picked up the cigarette that was placed on the coffee table. "Another piece of information is that the General Staff has sent two air interception forces. A third air interception force will arrive in Sri Lanka tomorrow morning. ”

"With such a large-scale deployment, is it not a nuclear war, or is it a strategic interception system against conventional missiles?"

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you think we will have a nuclear war?" ”

"It's not us, it's Erdu."

"India?" Pei Chengyi smiled even more happily; "Do you think India has the guts to fight a nuclear war with us?" ”

"Transport"

"It has been more than 10 days since our army entered India, and if India really wants to fight a nuclear war with us, it will use nuclear weapons a long time ago." Pei Chengyi lit a cigarette at this time and said, "The situation is very clear, as long as we do not use nuclear weapons, India will not push itself into the abyss of destruction." Only a few years have passed since the war in Japan? Rurajapani couldn't be more crazy. It is also necessary to know the end of Japan. Not to mention a nuclear war with us, as long as Rurajapani does not make India a history textbook, nuclear weapons will not be used, and even if we do, nuclear weapons will not be used. ”

"In that case, why raise the level of strategic alert?"

"It's very simple, when each other's burdens"

Yuan Chenhao frowned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Pei Chengyi's words.

"While we have every reason to believe that India will not dare to use nuclear weapons in war, after India has entered the highest strategic alert. For the sake of security, it is necessary to increase the level of strategic defense, and it is normal to deploy air-based laser interception systems forward. Pei Chengyi paused slightly and said, "Of course, you will ask." Why should India go to the highest strategic alert without being threatened by a strategic threat. There may be two reasons: first, we are worried that New Delhi will be bombed, and we will use the pre-cutting operation to eradicate the Indian leader and dismantle the Indian regime; Second, we are worried that we will use tactical nuclear weapons, so we have to make preventive preparations in advance. ”

"If we're going to carry out the pre-chopping operation. It should be implemented at the time of war, not until now.

Pei Chengyi nodded and motioned for Yuan Chenhao to continue.

"With or without tactical nuclear weapons, the impact on our army is not great, and it does not even have any benefits. Besides, if you really want to use it, you will use it a long time ago. ”

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "You also ignored one factor. ”

"What?" Yuan Chenhao's mood calmed down a lot.

"United States."

"The United States?" When he lit the cigarette, Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a while, and he didn't react until he burned his hand.

"U.S. Influence on India." Pei Chengyi took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Chenhao. He said, "Until the war has been fought, India's strategic intelligence has come from the United States. Don't forget. U.S. Secretary of Defense Dodgway is an old friend of ours. Although the United States has not entered the war and has no intention of entering the war, in order to contain us, the United States will spare no effort to support India, otherwise it will not provide India with millions of tons of military supplies. At least in the early days of the war, what India needed most was not military supplies, but intelligence, especially strategic intelligence. The United States will not let go of such a good opportunity and will definitely use intelligence to influence India. Let India fight according to the wishes of the United States. ”

"The problem is, Dudgway, as a professional military intellectual,"

"Don't talk about the difference between a soldier and a politician, there is no difference between a soldier and a politician in the face of national interests." Pei Chengyi smiled faintly and said, "Although I don't deny that Du Qiwei is a pure soldier. But who can guarantee that it is Dudgway, not a politician, who makes the decisions? Dudgway is not God. It is impossible not to make mistakes. As long as any of these conditions are met, the United States will issue a strategic threat warning to India when our army is about to launch a general offensive on the Eastern Front, forcing India to speed up its war mobilization and concentrate more national forces, and at the same time tell us not to use nuclear weapons in India. Of course, this is just my opinion, whether this is the case or not, I don't count. Judging by the reaction of the General Staff, it must have attracted the attention of the Yuan, otherwise the deployment would not have been adjusted. Let's strike at India's missile launchers, let alone strengthen missile interception capabilities. If I'm not mistaken, the Yuan did not bring our strategic strike forces into combat readiness. Only in this way can we tell the United States that we do not intend to use nuclear weapons, but that we will never allow India to use them in war. Even tactical nuclear weapons. ”

After Pei Chengyi finished speaking, Yuan Chenhao thought for a while before he nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's adjust the air power." Pei Chengyi yawned and said, "I remember calling me two hours later, I have to hurry up and get some sleep." ”

"No problem, I'll set the alarm."

After Yuan Chenhao went out, Pei Chengyi lay down on the sand.

When Du Qiwei and Rurajapani were worried that Pei Chengyi would use fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield, Pei Chengyi did not think about this problem at all!
