Volume 9 Undercurrents Surge Chapter 39 Right in the Middle

Rajapani was pulled out of bed by the guards in his sleep. 【】Rushed to the outskirts of the city and learned that the war had broken out when I was in the center. When I met several ministers who were also in a hurry. Rurajapani also wears silk pajamas. The Prime Minister was not embarrassed, for all the elders were also wearing pajamas.

The situation was very chaotic and made Rurajapani very angry.

When the war broke out, neither the General Staff of the three Indian services nor the headquarters of the three services reported the battle situation at the first time!

What made Rurajapani even more angry was interference. No one even knew the specific direction of the battle. Although the Eastern Theater Command was the first to announce that it had been bombed, when Rurajapani arrived at the strategic command center, he still did not get in touch with the Western Theater Command, so it was impossible to know whether the western region had been attacked.

Rurajapani's anger is completely understandable.

At a time when the prime minister was most needed to make a strategic decision, it was unclear whether it would be a war started by China alone or by a joint war between China and Pakistan. The two have very different results, and if China starts a war alone, then China's purpose must be very limited, and it does not intend to fight a large-scale regional war, otherwise China will definitely act jointly with Pakistan. If it is only a local conflict, India still has room to go around in circles, and at most make concessions after the military occupation becomes a fact, and there is no need to fight to the death with China. If it's a large-scale regional war, India has to fight it all, and the sooner the better.

News 6 continues to arrive, and it's chaotic.

First, the theater air defense center near Shillong reported that it had been bombed, and then communication was cut off, and the details of the bombing could not be known. Then, the Dibrugarh military camp, the Guwahati air base, and the Kuchibihar 6th Army camp were successively reported to have been attacked by air strikes, and communications were again cut off, and no one was able to find out the situation at the three military bases.

The war has come to this point, not to mention Rurajapani, even the generals of the Indian army do not hold anything.

China's military superiority is very obvious, and even if India resists with all its might, it will only suffer greater losses, turning a large number of weapons and equipment imported from abroad at a huge cost into scrap metal, turning Indian soldiers who are thousands of adult workers into dry bones, and creating thousands of widows and orphans.

There is no way to fight this battle!

Rurajapani only received his first accurate report, but it's not good news.

The Chinese Navy's carrier-based AWACS aircraft appeared over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and although they did not enter Indian airspace, they were sufficient to monitor all military bases in southern India.

Just surveillance?

Rurajapani 10,000 do not believe.

The four AWACS aircraft mean that the Chinese Navy's three aircraft carrier battle groups, and even four aircraft carrier battle groups, have entered the Indian Ocean and are hovering near India. Because according to the general situation, "an aircraft carrier carrying 4 AWACS aircraft will send a maximum of hitter AWACS aircraft to carry out long-range surveillance tasks, and it is necessary to leave enough AWACS aircraft to carry out fleet air defense tasks."

In his panic, Rurajapani overlooked a very important question.

The "Yellow Emperor" and "Yandi" aircraft carrier battle groups have been operating in the South China Sea, and the United States also provided relevant intelligence to India an hour ago. Even if the broken aircraft carrier is nuclear-powered and can continue to sail for several days at the fastest speed, it is impossible to enter the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca or the Sunda Strait within two systems and hours. Besides, US submarines have been operating in the Strait of Malacca and Sunda Strait, and there is also a US aircraft carrier battle group operating in the waters of the Anambas Islands.

The reason for Rurajapani's panic is simple: the 4 carrier battle groups have devastating strike forces.

Even if carrier-based fighters are prepared according to normal conditions, the "Huaxia"-class aircraft carrier can carry six fighters, plus the Zhaojia fighters of the "Republic", and there are a total of masonry fighters. This strike force can easily destroy India's air defense system, defeat the Indian Air Force, and eliminate the Indian Navy!

China sent four aircraft carrier battle groups into the Indian Ocean. There is also an even greater purpose: to seize sea supremacy.

As long as China seizes sea supremacy, it can impose a strategic blockade on India.

The strategic blockade began, and the war broke out in full swing.

That is, this is not a local conflict. Rather, a large-scale war!

Rurajapani's first response was to keep the Navy's two carrier battle groups within cover of shore-based fighters and not to act rashly. According to Rulamepani's guess, the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group that entered the Indian Ocean is looking for two Indian aircraft carrier battle groups that will leave the port at the end of the month, and their main task is to take out the Indian Navy.

India's survival lies in its sea supremacy, and its hope for sea supremacy lies in its navy, and the hope of the navy is an aircraft carrier battle group.

If the aircraft carrier battle group is lost too soon, India will be completely finished!

Rurajapani finally contacted the Western Theater Command.

After receiving the report from the Western Theater Command, Rurajapani was immediately confused.

West

How can it be!?

China has given aircraft carrier battle groups access to the Indian Ocean. The posture of looking for a decisive battle for the Indian Navy was put on. With a large-scale war a foregone conclusion, what reason is there for Pakistan to watch the fire from across the strait? Even if Pakistan does not want to enter the war, China has the ability to attack in the west, forcing Indian forces to fight on two fronts. Defeat India faster.

Unreasonable, completely unreasonable!

There must be a problem!

The first thing that came to Rurajapani's mind was the reason why China was creating a war of expansion.

In other words, China first attacked on the eastern battlefield. In the name of recovering southern Tibet. As long as the scale of the war does not expand, China will not be blamed, at least not strongly by the Western world. In order to expand the scale of the war. To fundamentally defeat India, China must have a more ample reason. Of course, the best reason is that Indian troops cross the Line of Actual Control in Kashmir and open fire on Pakistani forces. Citing the Indo-Pakistani War, China entered the war as an ally of Pakistan to expand the scale of the war.

Thinking of the incident in which the thug was born in the border exchange of fire in southern Tibet, Rurajapani confirmed this speculation.

What's more, China doesn't have to make any small moves to make India make a fatal mistake.

When the battle on the eastern battlefield began, China carried out suppressive electromagnetic interference against India, paralyzed India's military command system, and allowed the aircraft carrier battle group to enter the Indian Ocean, posing for a large-scale war. If Rurajapani gives the order to counterattack at the first time, he will definitely counterattack in both directions at the same time. Indian forces will cross the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Kashmir. Enter the Pakistani-controlled area, thus leading to the Indo-Pakistani war.

Thinking of this, Rurajapani immediately ordered the ground forces in the Western Theater of Operations to remain still.

The ground forces do not act and cannot solve the problem at its roots.

Rurajapani personally gave an order to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force not to make a move.

If we can't defeat China, we can't fight with China, and we can't give China a reason to expand the war!

By the time Rurajapani gave the order, the Indian Air Force combat units near the Eastern Theater of Operations had entered combat mode, and hundreds of fighter jets had already taken to the runway with ammunition on their loads, making final preparations for takeoff.

It was the Prime Minister's direct order that allowed the fighters of the Indian Air Force to remain on the ground.

Obviously, it is impossible for Pei Chengyi to guess the real reason why the Indian Air Force did not participate in the war in any case.

It has to be admitted that Rurajapani's move saved India to a great extent.

At that time, the President of Pakistan had already received information and issued an operational order to the army in the Kashmir region. As long as the Indian army goes on the offensive. Or if the Indian Air Force's fighter jets enter the skies over Pakistani-controlled areas, the Pakistani army will attack manually according to a strategic counterattack.

Pakistan enters the war, and the situation will be out of control!

It was around 4 o'clock that Rurajapani received accurate news.

It is true that only the eastern regions have given birth to fighting. And China does not invest many troops.

At this time, the Indian government ministers and army generals who were also in the strategic command center did not notice, and Rurajapani breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more relaxed.

After ordering the Indian troops in the eastern region to hold their positions, Rurajapani went to the prime minister's office alone.

The situation could not be clearer that this is a regional conflict of limited scale.

Rurajapani needs to do two things right away. The first is to call the hotline with China's Yuan, hoping that China will immediately end its military operations; The second is to call the US president on a hotline to report on the war

Condition.

There is no difficulty in talking to Wang Yuanqing on the phone, after all, the initiative is in China's hands, and Wang Yuanqing has the final say on how the war will be fought. All Rurajapani can do is let go of his posture. It is implied that as long as China does not expand the scope of its strike, India can make concessions and recognize a fait accompli.

It's very difficult to get along with the Westwood hotline.

Rurajapani thought for a long time before getting the secretary to connect to the White House. If it is too simplistic to say that the war situation is stunned, it will certainly not be able to use this to blackmail the United States into providing more aid. If the war situation is overly complicated, it may turn the United States into a turtle with a shrunken head. Only by making the United States think that the situation is very unfavorable to India and that India is sure to defeat China's invasion can the United States be "impressed" and make the United States realize the importance of India, believe that India can weaken China's national strength through this war, and help the United States contain China, so as to provide India with all kinds of military assistance at all costs.

If you suffer losses on the battlefield, you have to find some compensation outside the battlefield.

If the southern Tibetan region can be exchanged for comprehensive military assistance from the United States, in Rurajapani's opinion. It is also an ideal way to take advantage of the southern Tibetan region. As long as India is kept, as long as India can be made strong, today's losses will be recovered in the near future!

Rurajapani didn't know that his decision happened to fall into Wang Yuanqing's hands.
