Chapter 173: A Signal to the End

In the afternoon of the same day, Feginandez was formally sworn in as interim wartime prime minister in Haide. 【】

Admiral Fernández, Chief of Staff of the Navy, Chief of the General Staff of the Three Services, and active in the Navy, succeeds Rurajapani. Becoming India's interim prime minister did not come as a surprise to the outside world. While no one denies that Rurajapani made significant contributions to India during his first year in power, almost everyone agrees that Rurajapani was not a good wartime prime minister because he failed to lead India to victory in the war.

According to the comments of the Western news media, India needs an iron-blooded prime minister.

The question is. Was Fernandez the "iron-blooded prime minister" like Bismarck?

Perhaps, the answer of the Indian military is the most telling one. Just after Fernandez was sworn in, Admiral Gujarad surrendered to the wounded commander of the garrison, Major General Sai Shan Biao, in his capacity as commander of the New Delhi garrison.

Although many Western commentators believe that Gujarad's surrender was not directly related to Fernandez's inauguration as India's interim wartime prime minister, there are three main reasons for this: first, the Indian army has lost the ability to defend New Delhi, and second, Gujarad has no chance of fleeing to Hyderabada. Third, a large-scale war will destroy this famous city with a history of thousands of years, but no one can deny the contradiction between Gujarad and Fernandez. Because Fernández is the standard "American school". And Gujarad never saw the United States as the patron saint of India.

As Gujarad stepped out of the strategic command center and boarded a transport plane bound for Wharzirabad, accompanied by Sejirabad, the strategic bombing campaign against India's nuclear arsenal had begun.

Fernández came to power. Let the republic have no choice.

Although at the swearing-in ceremony, Fernandez did not mention nuclear weapons, only declaring that he would do everything to defeat the squadron that invaded India, but this sentence. Enough for the leaders of the republic to make up their minds. Because in the absence of a clear indication of non-use of nuclear weapons, "all efforts" certainly include nuclear weapons. According to the comments made by Western military experts later, Wang Yuanqing has absolutely no reason to worry about the strategic security of the republic, because the republic has the most powerful strategic defense system in the world, but Wang Yuanqing has 10,000 reasons not to worry about the 500,000 soldiers on the front line, because India is not only capable of striking the republic's frontline combat troops with tactical ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads. Improvised nuclear explosive devices, including nuclear mines, can also be used against attacking forces.

Only by completely knocking out India's thugs and nuclear teeth can the front-line combat units confidently and boldly advance towards Hyderabad.

Because strategic strikes are under the direct command of the General Staff, the front-line command is only responsible for sending covering forces, that is, for tactical aviation to carry out diversion bombing missions. So there is no need for Pei Chengyi to command the bombing operation. You don't even need to ask.

The entire strike lasted only a few minutes, and the operation was completed before the assisted tactical fighter returned.

It can be said that this round of crackdowns was carried out very beautifully.

The main striking force is the strategic bombers of the Air Force, and the most used are the high-pitched cruise missiles specially equipped with new incendiary warheads for nuclear weapons. Compared with ordinary incendiary bombs, the biggest feature of the new incendiary warhead is that it can continue to burn for tens of seconds in a completely closed situation. Completely burn the nuclear warhead with a high temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius, and vaporize the nuclear material inside the nuclear warhead. According to tests conducted by the Air Force of the Republic, a kilogram-sized new incendiary warhead is capable of destroying all material in a space of about 10,000 cubic meters in a confined environment. In order to achieve the goal of complete destruction. In the second round of bombing, strategic bombers repeatedly bombed various underground military facilities where nuclear weapons were stored, mainly using special bombs. Make it impossible for the Indian army or other personnel to use these facilities again. Because the bombing campaign was supported by intelligence provided by the United States, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of China only briefly introduced the results of the bombing at the subsequent press conference, but did not introduce the specific process. So as not to let the outside world know that this is a "joint operation" of two nuclear powers. ”

About 2 hours after the bombing ended, Pei Chengyi received detailed results from the General Staff.

It can be said that strategic bombing against nuclear targets is the most demanding of all air strikes, that is, all targets are completely destroyed, not paralyzed. The so-called total destruction, by the standards of the Air Force of the Republic. It is to completely lose the ability of the target to use and repair, and paralysis is to make the target incapacitated.

The more demanding it is, the more difficult it is.

After receiving the message from the General Staff, Pei Chengyi immediately arranged for tactical aviation to carry out supplementary bombing of targets that had not been completely destroyed. The task is not very complicated. Tactical aviation has long been prepared for this. When many staff officers thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Pei Chengyi arranged a new task. Although no new order has been issued from above, it was Fernandez who became India's wartime prime minister and launched a strategic strike against India's nuclear forces. In Pei Chengyi's opinion, Yuan will soon deploy new tasks to the commander-in-chief of the front. You can't go wrong with doing your homework in advance.

The first thing Pei Chengyi had to do was to assess the actual situation of each combat unit and the material preparations.

Fortunately, Pei Chengyi is not required to be in charge of the occupation area. Although according to Xiang Linghui. As the supreme commander on the battlefield in India, Pei Chengyi has the right to intervene in all matters related to the war, including the work in the occupied areas, but after Liu Xiaobin came to Wazirabad with a group of people, Pei Chengyi no longer needs to worry about these things.

In fact, Liu Xiaobin's main task was not to maintain the occupied zone

According to Li Cunxun's confession, he will go to New Delhi as a security adviser to investigate the Indian authorities, including the presidential office, the prime minister's office, and the National Assembly. Choosing an office location for the Interim Government of India. Wait until his side is ready. An interim government of India will be formed in New Delhi. Formal takeover of internal security in India. Because this was a task assigned by Yuan himself, Li Cunxun did not dare to be careless, if it weren't for the busy affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he would definitely rush over in person.

Of course, the key is the choice of the Provisional Government of Beidu.

This matter is not the responsibility of Pei Chengyi, nor is it the responsibility of Liu Xiaobin, Yuan has already arranged for Gu Weimin to deal with it.

While Bae Seung-yi was busy preparing for the next round of attacks, news of the Republic's strategic strikes on Indian nuclear targets had spread around the world. Along with the news of Rurajapani's death in Brogch, it was reported.

The first focus is still on the Western news media.

It's just that the Western world was taken by surprise. The general population did not react much to the bombing campaign of the Republic. Some Western research agencies have also conducted random surveys, and the conclusions they have reached have had a great impact on Western governments. Most of the Western media, when reporting on the strategic bombing, unconsciously compared it with the Republic's bombing campaign against Japan's nuclear facilities. It is these contrasts that really affect the Western population, because there is a fundamental difference between strategic bombing against India and strategic bombing against Japan. The republic did not bomb civilian nuclear facilities in India. In the aftermath of the war, a safety zone was created around the nuclear facility. No bombing was carried out against any non-military targets in the security zone, thus not producing large-scale radioactive contamination in India. The Republic's bombing of India's military nuclear targets is both a means of self-protection and a positive effect on world peace and security, because no one wants to see nuclear weapons fall into the hands of certain extremist groups. Most importantly, when announcing the relevant information, the Republic avoided sensitive issues as much as possible, focusing on the targeted nature of the bombing.

In addition to this, the U.S. government has also affirmed the actions of the Republic in relevant statements. Although the attitude of the US government is debatable, it has had a great impact on the Western public. The United States believes that blowing up India's nuclear weapons is conducive to maintaining world peace and stability, so why should Europe oppose it?

Of course, the bombing did not lead to the humanitarian catastrophe that the European population was more concerned about. India is not Japan, the country is relatively large, the nuclear weapons bases are far from populated areas, and most of the military nuclear facilities are underground, so the bombing will not have much impact on civilians.

Relatively speaking, the European population is more concerned about the cause of Rurajapani's death.

The Western news media, which had nothing to do, immediately took advantage of the mentality of the European people and speculated heavily on the cause of Rurajapani's death in their reports. Although the Indian government, the government of the Republic, the U.S. government and other governments with the right to speak have not expressed the news related to the cause of Rurajapani's death, the Western news media can still use the topic to speculate whether it was the Republican ** team that blew up Rurajapani.

It was not until the 10th of the month that the Indian government took the lead in announcing the cause of Rurajapani's death, and the Western news media did not speculate wildly.

Although the Indian government did not explicitly mention how Rurajapani died, it was mentioned that when Rurajapani died, the Republican ** team had already captured Broch and launched a large-scale arrest operation in the city of Broch.

Now, the spearhead is directly pointed at the Republic.

The Western news media took advantage of this to make a big fuss, believing that it was the Republican ** team that blew up Rurajapani, and that the large-scale arrest operation in Broch was aimed at Rurajapani.

About 2 hours after the Indian government made the announcement, the Government of the Republic also made a relevant announcement.

Compared with the information issued by the Indian government, the information issued by the government of the Republic is more convincing, because not only the large number of photographs of the scene of Rurajapani's death, but also the confessions of the members of the captured guards have been published. Video footage of the scene of the fighting, as well as the testimonies of local residents, were also published. What makes the Western news media a little puzzled is that when the republic is fighting back. It was bluntly mentioned that the mass manhunt in Broch was aimed at Rurajapani, and that the Republic had offered a reward of up to 10,000 yuan. Of course, when the news was announced, the Indians who received the bounty also appeared on the news scene and told reporters from all over the world what happened. As for whether the Indian will return to India, I am afraid it is unknown, after all, 40,000 yuan is enough for him and his family to live comfortably in the republic for the rest of their lives.

Subsequently, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic openly invited journalists from other countries to Brogch for interviews.

Although some Western news media still questioned the Republican government's manipulation of evidence and witnesses and fabricated a false story of Rurajapani's death by Indians, more and more Western news media stopped paying attention to the cause of Rurajapani's death when the Indian government was slow to express targeted information and the US government remained silent. Plainly. If it was really the Republican ** team who deliberately blew up Rurajapani, why did they announce a large-scale manhunt against Rurajapani and a bounty of up to 10,000 yuan? Besides, even if the Republican ** team blew up Rurajapani, what can it do? The event took place not in New Delhi, but in Brogch, thousands of miles away. The Republican ** team has no obligation to protect Rurajapani's personal safety, and Rurajapani is the leader of a hostile country, as long as they meet on the battlefield, the Republican ** team has 10,000 reasons to blow up Rurajapani or arrest him as a second evidence to continue to hype up Rurajapani's death, not only can it not give any benefit to the Western news media. It can also bore viewers with worthless news stories.

If there is no news, news must be made.

There can be no hype about strategic bombing, no hype about the cause of Rurajapani's death. The Westward Abandon news media quickly found the next hype about when the war would end.

This time, the Western news media is finally on the right track.

Actually, before the Western news media came to their senses. Neutral news outlets, such as Al Jazeera, began to hype up news related to the end of the war. Of course. Al Jazeera, the news organization on a par with the censors, has a bold prediction of the end of the war, while also focusing on India's politics. To be precise, whether the republic will occupy India for a long time after the end of its large-scale military operations, or whether it will allow India to form a democratically elected government.

As the Western news media joined the relevant reports, "When will the war end?" Will India be an independent India after the war with the thugs" has become the two most concerned topics for global audiences.

Relatively speaking, the first topic is not much debated.

Western news media widely predict that the war will end before Christmas, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese people will return home for Christmas. There is no doubt that the Western news media got a concept wrong. That is, Christmas is not an Oriental holiday, and the total population of Christians in the republic is less than gills, and few soldiers believe in Jesus. Even if the republican ** people can go home before the arrival of the New Year, they will not go through Christmas, but will go through New Year's Day.

From the outset, Al Jazeera believed that the war was unlikely to end within the year, but it would certainly end early next year, and that more than half of the republicans would be able to return home before the Chinese New Year. If the republic is willing to take on the heavy responsibility of India's post-war reconstruction. The rest of the republicans will probably have to wait until the next Spring Festival to be reunited with their families. One way or another, large-scale military operations will soon end, and the war will soon end.

When the war ended was not determined by large-scale military operations, but by the post-war political process in India.

According to this theoretical basis. Al Jazeera made a bold prediction. mouth at the end of the month. At the latest at the beginning of the old month. An interim government of India, supported by the Republic, would be formed in New Delhi and would gradually take over the occupied territories. If the Republic intends to allow its soldiers to return home with their loved ones as soon as possible, it will arm a paramilitary force for the Interim Government of India and provide training accordingly. During this period, the Republic will certainly provide India with humanitarian aid, including food, medicines, daily chemicals, clothing, and household appliances, to stabilize Indian society. Enhance the Provisional Government's position and prestige in India. Lay the groundwork for a formal post-war election, and a democratic one.

By this inference, the republic will return India to the Indians. It is up to the Indians to decide the future of India.

No doubt. Al Jazeera's report was unanimously refuted by the Western news media, saying that the Republic will not give up India easily, let alone become the India of Indians, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops, at the cost of sacrificing thousands of officers and soldiers, spending tens of trillions of war funds, and losing huge amounts of social economy. In order to support this view, many evidences are also listed, such as India's abundant natural resources and the world's largest labor force, which are necessary for China's continued development.

In response to the deleted reports, Al Jazeera refuted them one by one. The so-called "India is rich in natural resources. "That's the total amount rather than the average, in fact, India has always been a big importer of resources, and even its own citizens can't be satisfied, and no matter how much resources India has, it can't be used.

"There is plenty of work. Even without this war, India needs a huge overseas market to digest its huge labor force, and the Chinese market, which has the strongest consumption power, is undoubtedly an important foundation for solving India's sustainable development problem, China does need India's labor force, and India also needs China's market, and the two are symbiotic and mutually existent. It's not a record-cutting relationship.

Under the "guidance" of Al Jazeera, India's post-war political system has become the focus of the world's attention.

Although governments have not been involved for the time being, the hyped news media know that India's post-war problems are not China's problems, nor India's problems, but the problems of the whole world, because no country is willing to give up India's interests and wants to benefit from them. As long as the news is stirred up and arouses widespread concern among the people, sooner or later it will be highly valued by the government, or in other words, the government that attaches great importance to this issue will make an official statement. As long as enough countries take a stand. The Chinese government will not be able to do whatever it wants in India.

It is clear that the Western news media is using the "agitation method." ”

The more negative the news reported, the more likely it is to attract the attention of the public. The easier it is to provoke people to discuss. As long as the people are involved. It could form an irresistible force for the Chinese government to compromise with the world on India's post-war issues. Thereby ensuring the interests of Western countries in India.

The problem is that the Government of the Republic has not made any comment.

In stark contrast, the people of the republic, who had been relatively stable during the war, were also unable to hold their breath and expressed their views through the Internet.

There is no doubt that the citizens of the republic want to be able to attract the attention of the government through this.
