Early in the morning. The hand armored brigade, which served as the vanguard, left Zhiranasi. Artillery Azund advances.

Although the attack on Allahabad was very eye-catching, the most watched battles on the other two battlefields of the day, one was the offensive and defensive battle in Calcutta, and the other was the news battle of international public opinion.

With the first report just reported that the ** team used a special bomb in Kolkata. In addition, several so-called "commercial satellite remote sensing photos" were taken out in the report to show the huge crater in the northern part of Kolkata city to a global audience, and "special bomb Kolkata concave army" and "humanitarian disaster" have become the keywords of global news media and Internet searches, and have attracted the attention of countless people.

I have to say that it is not kind, and it did not give the audience a pound of "special bombs" that they are most concerned about. Clear definitions.

What kind of bomb is a "special bomb"?

Everyone who followed the day's news asked the question.

This is a very direct reflection of the influence of national interests on the news and public opinion.

In response to the photos that have just been released, military commentators who have previously relied on commenting on the war's windfall have been divided into two distinct camps, and to the surprise of the outside world, US military commentators and pro-China military commentators have stood on the same front and vaguely called them "special bombs" or "special explosive devices." "Without giving a clear definition, or even suggesting anything, neutral commentators, commenting on the photographs of the explosion site, have mentioned that only tactical nuclear weapons, or explosive devices with the latest scientific and technological achievements of mankind catalyzing metallic hydrogen as the main charge, can create such a huge crater and have such an astonishing power.

Because the two most vocal commentators were silent, the views of the neutral commentators were taken seriously.

As more and more viewers join the discussion and express their opinions online, the truth gradually emerges.

Certainly not tactical nuclear weapons, because there are no underground targets in the Kolkata metropolitan area that are worth dealing with with tactical nuclear weapons. So that huge crater is not left after the tactical nuclear weapon exploded underground, if the tactical nuclear weapon exploded in the air. Not only will the whole of Kolkata be in ruins, but the attacking concave army will not be spared, and it is even more unlikely that the squadron will enter the center of the explosion immediately after the nuclear explosion.

If it is not a tactical nuclear weapon, it must be a catalytic metallic hydrogen explosive device, which is often referred to as a fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapon.

Although the truth has been found, there is a great deal of disagreement among the public about the use of the terms "catalytic metal-hydrogen explosive device" and "fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapons". To put it simply, whether the "catalytic metallic hydrogen explosive device" is a "tactical nuclear weapon" or not, it should not be called a "fifth-generation tactical nuclear weapon".

A question on which physicists and nuclear weapons experts cannot agree because of issues of national interest. People can only vote with their feet.

For the vast majority of the population, the measure is simple: the specific effect of the bomb.

Because catalytic metallogen-explosive devices do not produce radioactive contamination and have an explosive yield 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than nuclear weapons, the standard for measuring nuclear weapons cannot be used. The vast majority of the population also do not understand the criteria for nuclear weapons, and in their eyes, there is only one criterion, and that is whether they have caused huge casualties.

Throughout the history of human warfare and the history of weapons exhibitions. "Killing ability" has always been an important indicator of weapon performance.

Compared with conventional weapons, the most dramatic thing about nuclear weapons is their ability to kill.

In the only two actual combat uses, the two atomic bombs killed a total of nearly 2o people, the unit killing record has never been broken, and the nuclear reactor, which is 108,000 miles worse than nuclear weapons, has also killed more than 100 million Japanese thugs. According to the most conservative estimates. The nuclear weapons possessed by the nuclear powers are capable of destroying the human world more than the past time. Although the number of nuclear weapons in the world is now more than ninety percent less than at the end of the 20th century, nuclear weapons are still the only weapon that can destroy the entire human civilization in tens of minutes.

There is no doubt that if the "killing power" of catalytic metallogen-explosive devices exceeds that of nuclear weapons, they will be even more terrifying than nuclear weapons, if not classified as nuclear weapons.

On this issue, the deletion is not generous enough.

Audiences across the globe want to see a pound. Accurate statistics, even if it is just a made-up number, the state played tai chi in the report, once again fooling the audience with words like "huge casualties".

How huge are the "huge casualties"?

There is no accurate figure, and no other news outlet can give an accurate figure.

The audience's eyes turned to Calcutta, and the news media refused to report it, relying only on "the power of the masses." ”

According to the analysis and prediction made by some netizens in the name of "insiders", the urban area of Kolkata is about one square kilometer, and the population of the early West is that the buildings within four meters of the thugs are seriously damaged, because the fighting is not over, all the search and rescue work cannot be carried out, and the rough estimate is that the death toll is about 10,000, and the number of injured must be more than 10,000. Although the theory of this calculation is very good and the data is accurate, some netizens who also claim to be "insiders" have put forward diametrically opposed views, pointing out several important factors that the former has overlooked in their analysis, such as the fact that more than half of the citizens flocked to the suburbs after the outbreak of the war, and most of the citizens who stayed behind lived in the barracks according to India's "mobilization order." The squadron attacked and exploded from the north, and the residents of Xiaojiu had already evacuated, so it was estimated that the number of dead and injured would not exceed 10,000. Some netizens who claimed to have "inside information" even claimed that the bomb exploded. The residents around the explosion site have been warned by the squadron, and only a very small number of residents who are unwilling to leave have been victimized, and the number of casualties will certainly not exceed 1,000.

There is no doubt that these three views of netizens. Diverse stakeholders are represented.

If it does cause tens of thousands of civilian casualties, catalytic metallic hydrogen explosive devices are not only nuclear weapons, but also more terrifying weapons than nuclear weapons. If only it was caused! Thousands of civilian casualties, catalytic metallic hydrogen explosive devices are at best weapons of mass destruction, not enough to meet the threshold of nuclear weapons. Catalytic metal-hydrogen explosive devices are not even weapons of mass destruction if they only cause thousands of civilian casualties.

The controversy reached ** at this time.

As the coverage progressed, most viewers shifted their attention to the nature of the catalytic metallic hydrogen explosive device, and instead turned their attention to the troublemakers who caused the disaster.

I have to admit that the correction army has shrugged off the black pot for the army aviation.

Whether it is Al Jazeera or has always been in opposition to it, when reporting on the Koma Army, it invariably mentioned the offensive and defensive battles of Seoul in the Peninsula War. It's just that the two TV stations have completely different origins. Gang focused on the significant damage caused to Seoul by the Recess Army. The words "50 years can't make up for it" were used. Al Jazeera focused on the glorious victory of the Third Army of the ROK Army, using the words "the first army in the world". It can be seen that the deletion wants to use this to convince the audience that the concave army is a destructive "army of tigers and wolves", but Al Jazeera wants the audience to believe it. The feather army is a "mighty army" used to defeat strong enemies. Although Al Jazeera's views are much more subtle, Al Jazeera's reporting is also more objective from the audience's point of view.

Two TV stations reported on the concave army. brings up the topic of "humanitarianism", which deserves more in-depth discussion.

To be precise, who is responsible for the "humanitarian disaster" born in Kolkata.

On behalf of the US government, the spearhead is aimed at the Shuang Army, who does everything he can, and believes that the Chinese government should bear full responsibility. Al Jazeera, on the other hand, took aim at the recalcitrant Indian army, arguing that the Indian government should bear the main responsibility.

This led to many topics, such as the justice of the war, and whether the Indian army should give up resistance.

When the controversy reached the first level, several not-so-eye-catching news appeared on the Internet. By the time the audience reacted, most neutral media outlets adjusted their news content and began to focus on news from other parts of West Bengal.

Access to Bangladeshi war refugee camps was not only Bangladeshi journalists, but also many Western journalists invited by the Bangladeshi government. In particular, European journalists have long sympathized with and supported the Bangladeshi community in India in their tireless struggle for autonomy.

Although some European journalists' requests to go to Calcutta to report on the war were rejected by the central officials, when reporting on the resettlement of Bengali war refugees, most European journalists adhered to the tradition of telling the truth and telling the truth, abided by professional ethics, and showed the real side in front of the audience.

The European news media turned their attention to the 80 million Bangladeshis in India at the same time, which is probably the last thing the United States wants to see. Compared to the question of the survival of 80 million Bengalis, those things in Kolkata are nothing at all. It can be said that the question of the survival of 80 million people! is the real humanitarian catastrophe. If the public loses interest in Kolkata and sees India's brutal repression of the Bangladeshi who demand autonomy as a concern, then the United States will not be able to use what was born in Kolkata against China.

Until this time, bombshells were dropped, claiming that between 20,000 and 30,000 people had been killed.

The question is. Announcing such a result at this time gives people the feeling of adding to the snake.

According to the news released on the Internet, Al Jazeera raised three questions: first, how did it know that so many people had been killed by the bombing when war correspondents were not sent to Calcutta; Second, the explosion area is under the control of the squadron, and even the Chinese government has not released any data, so how to prove the accuracy of the data; The third is that even the government cannot produce accurate statistics when things do not come to Sun Bu, so what do you think that its data is correct?

All three questions point to the veracity of the deleted report.

Although that is, to respond. It claims to have used state-of-the-art remote sensing technology and that the resulting data is supported by relevant authorities. However, the credibility of the remote sensing technology was greatly undermined by the fact that it was not stated which remote sensing technology was used, nor was it clearly identified as the authority that supported its data.

In order to save face, he had to talk about him left and right, and began to criticize Al Jazeera, claiming that Al Jazeera, as a neutral media, stood on the position of the Chinese government on major issues and did not respect the freedom of the press. Turning its back on the social and moral standards that the news media must abide by, it has become a lackey of the Chinese government.

provoked an incident, and Al Jazeera immediately faced it.

In any case, Al Jazeera is a third-party media outlet that is not under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government and does not have to follow its orders. The difference is that as the news media of the United States, and the largest news media in the United States, it has always been the mouthpiece of the US government, although it is the microphone of the US government as a private state.

Clearly, by taking aim at Al Jazeera, he has already missed his fundamental goal.

When viewers all over the world are paying attention to Al Jazeera's war of opinion, who will pay attention to being born in Kolkata?

It's just that many people don't understand what they can't understand. China's news media did not join the war of public opinion.

China's news media have been focusing on the course of the war, with little brief coverage of Kolkata and the refugee camps, without in-depth commentary.

On issues concerning China's national reputation, the Chinese news media have collectively avoided them.

Obviously, this is not the attitude it should be, it is very abnormal.

It is probably the attitude of the Chinese news media that has made more viewers who are tired of the news media fighting public opinion wars pay attention to the battlefield again.

Compared to those intrigue struggles, the battles on the battlefield are more real

On the same day, the Chinese news media focused on the fighting in three directions: first, the Hongjun army marched west from Varanasi and advanced towards Allahbad, second, the pickled army continued to fight fiercely with the stubborn Indian army in the city of Kolkata, and third, the sword army stationed in northeastern India was fully launched in preparation for a large-scale attack.

Although there are not many reports on Calcutta, and the few videos that are the only ones taken by military reporters affiliated with the military, which are relatively "moderate," the attitude of the Chinese news media in being impartial and objectively reporting the facts of the war has been unanimously praised, and even many Europeans who have been very biased against the Chinese news media before believe that the Chinese news media can respect the facts and present the truth to the audience from the objective stance that the news media should have. More professional than those news media with ulterior motives.

The most indicative of viewers' preferences is definitely ratings.

According to an immediate survey conducted by a European investigative agency by telephone that morning, CGTN news channels reached a high level of viewership in the European Union, and the international news channel was deleted for the second time, becoming the most-watched news channel of foreign television.

The results of this survey are enough to illustrate the problem.

Of course, it is enough to delete the problem.

In the afternoon of the same day, the content of the report changed. Began to focus on reporting on the military operations of the squadron. It also focuses on the strategic significance of Hong's attack on Allahabad and the tactical problems of the Concave army's attack on Calcutta.

Although he wanted to make a fuss about the Kolkata issue, he was influenced by the audience and consciously reduced his coverage of the "humanitarian disaster" and once again raised the banner of "objectivity and fairness" to focus on military operations.

There is no doubt that the deletion once again made a serious mistake by ignoring the actions of the sword army.

Anyway, it's a natural thing. It has been proven that war is everywhere.

Although the concept of "limited warfare" was put forward as early as the era of the sword century, it was believed that the factors that could influence political decision-making and military action would become the commanding heights for the warring parties. War is not only born on the battlefield, but at all levels, public opinion propaganda is the battlefield, news reports are the weapons of the warring parties, but it is not until this day that the global audience realizes that war has indeed changed a lot, and whoever can get the support of public opinion can get the support of more people and become the just side of the war. Although all war operations outside of military operations. The impact on the war is not obvious, at least not immediately, but compared with the frontal military confrontation, the impact of the battle, including public opinion propaganda, is more far-reaching in the war. If we look at it from a long-term perspective, public opinion propaganda can even have a decisive impact on the final outcome of the war, especially the final gains of the victorious side.

Like battles on the battlefield, battles on the battlefield of public opinion are not determined by the will of one side.

That is, battles on the battlefield of public opinion. It doesn't end when one side stops acting.

More importantly, public opinion wars, like military wars, are both means of political struggle and serve political interests. Unless the warring parties reach a political compromise, there will always be a winner or loser

On this day, Pei Chengyi was most concerned about the actions of the sword army.

It is obviously a bit difficult to use a single army to control all the communication arteries in northeastern India, which covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. The Knife Army is a strategic reaction force, not an airborne army, and cannot occupy the commanding heights near the line of communication like the Airborne Army to achieve the purpose of controlling the line of communication.

Fortunately, the Armies were not heavily armoured.

The most important characteristic of the Strategic Reaction Force is that it has excellent strategic and operational mobility capabilities, and most of its combat equipment can be sent to the front line by air.

In other words, as long as there is sufficient airlift force, the Strategic Reaction Force can also carry out airborne combat missions.

In order to speed up the action of the ten thousand armies, Pei Chengyi transferred all the tactical airlift forces of the three airborne armies, and asked the sword army to dismantle all the additional accessories of the main battle equipment and send them to the front line by Dazhang. Control the commanding heights near the lines of communication and thus avoid the hassles that may arise when maneuvering tactically on the ground.

This move has greatly accelerated the deployment of the knife army.

By the time the Indian Army's Northeast Army Group reacted, the Knife Army had already been deployed in place.

As night fell, the bombing campaign against the logistical support supplies of the Northeast Army Group was about to begin.
