Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 54 Passive Choice
Less than a metric hour. The situation has changed dramatically. Upon hearing the news, Rurajapani immediately ended the emergency ministerial meeting of the government and called Leonard, Tuto, Ayamer, Gamar and Walker back to the prime minister's office.
Wang Yuanqing is not dead, he is still alive and well.
Seeing the Chinese national yuan appearing on the TV screen, Rurajapani had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Rurajapani was a smart man, and all those elders were smart men.
Although Wang Yuanqing claimed in a televised speech to the Chinese people that he had been wounded during the assassination, so he could not appear in front of the people at the first time, and the chairman of the plenary session of the National People's Congress temporarily performed his duties in accordance with the legal procedures of the state, in Rurajapani's view, Wang Yuanqing's remarks were only to deceive the people.
Why did Wang Yuanqing do this?
After telling the secretary to turn off the TV, Rurajapani looked over to Ticker.
"It has been proven that Wang Yuanqing's assassination has nothing to do with us, and China has not targeted us." "Although we have not obtained enough evidence, we have reason to believe that this is a subversive operation orchestrated by people within China who are seriously dissatisfied with political reform and foreign intelligence agencies." The assassination of Wang Yuanqing is only one thing, and the key is to overthrow the existing regime in China and establish a new regime that is more suited to the interests of certain countries. No doubt. The most likely to be involved in subversive actions are the four several"
"So it's just your analysis?"
Volcker sighed and nodded at the Chancellor.
"We can't do anything without evidence." Tuto reminded the prime minister.
Rurajapani nodded and said, "Even if there is evidence, we can't do anything."
Volcker's analysis is very accurate, and it is certainly the United States that is eager to change the status quo in China, and it is normal for the four to organize subversive actions in China. The key question is, why did Wang Yuanqing delay until now? ”
There was a sudden silence in the room, and although everyone knew it, no one dared to speak.
"If the withdrawal of troops is stopped now
"Does it work?"
Touching the Prime Minister's gaze, Ayamel sighed and said no more.
Rurajapani did not mean to reproach the Minister of Defense, because he was also very remorseful.
There is no doubt that China took the initiative to provoke border conflicts. Not against India, but against the traitorous bloc at home. From the very beginning, Wang Yuanqing planned the whole operation, although it was done very secretively, but it was not without flaws. If Rurajapani had been a little more sober, or a little more careful, he would have seen the flaws, such as China's failure to draw Pakistan into the war, but its efforts to keep Pakistan neutral. If only these flaws had been seen earlier. Rurajapani would not have made the decision to back down, and he would not have lost southern Tibet with his own hands. Wang Yuanqing came back one day after the assassination, in addition to letting Gu Weimin eradicate the traitorous clique as Dai Yuan, the main thing was to deal with India, so that Rurajapani would make wrong strategic judgments and make concessions on the battlefield, so as to end the conflict as soon as possible.
"Whether to stop the withdrawal is not the key issue." Tuto broke the silence and said, "The point is. Wang Yuanqing's comeback will definitely have an impact on the situation, and how can we deal with new threats? ”
"You mean that Wang Yuanqing will tear up the ceasefire agreement?"
Tuto shook his head and said, "There is no doubt about it. Wang Yuanqing remains China's number one leader. China has reached a cease-fire agreement with us, which must be Wang Yuanqing's intention, and there is no reason to tear up the cease-fire agreement. ”
Rurajapani nodded slightly, and the foreign minister's analysis was exactly in line with his.
"Not tearing up the ceasefire doesn't mean you won't take other action." Tuto paused a little and said, "Wang Yuanqing is coming back at this time, firstly to stabilize the situation, and secondly, to launch a new operation. After all, Gu Weimin is not the official state head, and he does not have the final decision-making power on matters related to the fundamental interests of the country, so he cannot replace Wang Yuanqing. I believe that Wang Yuanqing is very likely to use China's initiative to withdraw troops from southern Tibet to deal with us. ”
"What do you mean?" Rurajapani asked quietly.
"For any government, to lose tens of thousands of square kilometers of land without a fight. It's all unthinkable. ”
Although Tuto said it tactfully, the meaning was clear.
Rurajapani let out a sigh of relief, and even if the foreign minister didn't say that, he knew what was going to happen next.
China has always regarded India as a major problem and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. After the Japanese War, China spared no effort to promote comprehensive nuclear disarmament talks, nominally for the sake of world peace and stability. In fact, the spearhead is aimed at India. As long as there is substantial progress in negotiations on comprehensive nuclear disarmament. Regardless of whether India makes concessions on related issues, such as the destruction of nuclear weapons, it will fall into China's trap and be encircled and suppressed by China. In other words, by promising to destroy nuclear weapons, India will lose the only barrier to maintaining the country's basic security; If India refuses to destroy its nuclear weapons, it will be a reason for China to go to war. China's aggressive attack on India is precisely aimed at eliminating the last hidden danger in the periphery.
As long as it can drag India across, China will not show mercy.
When Rurajapani made concessions on the issue of southern Tibet, China had to do a simple thing: use this opportunity to bring down the Indian government. Thinking of this, Rurajapani glanced at the ministers seated.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of several people, Rurajapani immediately knew in his heart.
Fueling discontent with the government and prime minister in India could remove Rurajapani from power. To do so, China only needs to find ways to get the Indians whose interests are being harmed to take action.
Over the years, the economy has boomed, bringing prosperity to India and changing the social structure of India.
The traditional social structure created by the caste system has been destroyed, and the Brahmin aristocracy has not been able to occupy a favorable position in the economic boom because of its conservative thinking, but it is the commoners who dare to take risks, want to change reality, and want to make more profits that have exploded with amazing energy in the economic tide. The old years are enough to change the whole world, and they can fundamentally shake the basic structure of society that has lasted in India for thousands of years. Another important feature of the emerging class is its close economic ties with China. Almost all Indians who "got rich overnight" have benefited from China, including both petty capitalists and ordinary workers.
In recent years, as Rurajapani has changed his policy, he has gradually distanced himself from China and moved closer to the United States. Although some of the new class of capitalists took advantage of the opportunity of Japan's post-war reconstruction to make a windfall. But there are still most emerging capitalists pinning their hopes on China. More importantly, some of the new capitalists have begun to oppose the prime minister's foreign policy, believing that Japan's post-war reconstruction cannot last forever, that the temporarily booming Japanese market cannot meet the long-term needs of India's economic development, and that India should adjust its policy as soon as possible, abandon the line of blindly relying on the United States, and improve relations with China. The voices of these people were supported by many, especially by the emerging capitalists who had not been able to benefit from Japan's post-war reconstruction. There are already signs of a political split in India!
Prior to this, Rurajapani did not pay much attention to this issue.
In his view, if India can complete the upgrading of its industrial structure during his administration, or lay the foundation for industrial upgrading, sooner or later its opponents at home will shut up. India's way out is not to go to one side or the other, but to maneuver between China and the United States, and use the Sino-US contradictions to gain room for development. The key is to upgrade the industrial structure, and only by establishing high-end industries belonging to India can we fundamentally change India's backward status quo and make India a world power that no longer needs help from the outside world. It is no longer necessary to fall to whom.
Now, Rurajapani has to think about it.
Rurajapani was not a Brahmin nobleman. Of the officials present, only Tuto was not a Brahmin nobleman, and only one of the ministers of the Indian government was not a Brahmin nobleman. In other words, the declining Brahmin aristocracy still dominates Indian politics.
As social contradictions intensify, the contradictions between the Brahmin aristocracy and the emerging capitalists will certainly surface.
This is India's biggest problem and the deadliest one.
As long as Wang Yuanqing has a little vision, he will make a fuss about this issue. Facts have proved that Wang Yuanqing not only has vision, but also amazing courage. Wang Yuanqing will certainly try to bring down the Indian Government and detonate India's political "bomb" so that it will be difficult for India to carry out normal activities in the next few years.
In a few years, China will be ready for all-out war.
India has only two options: one is to abandon its ambition to become a world power, and the other is to go all out to deal with the Chinese threat.
Rurajapani also has only two options: one is to compromise with China again. self-sacrificing ways to help India survive years later; The second is to actively prepare for the war and bet on India's future to meet new challenges.
From the perspective of national interests, Rurajapani should choose the former.
It was only at the meeting of the government officials present that Rurajapani gave up on the idea.
Even if self-sacrifice is made, the next prime minister will make very different choices when confronted with the same issue, rendering Rurajapani's self-sacrifice worthless. If some ambitious Brahmin nobleman came to power, it would not only be impossible to save India, but it would also destroy it
Having made up his mind, Rurajapani no longer hesitated.
"Tuto."
The Foreign Minister, who was thinking about the problem, immediately looked at the Prime Minister.
"Send a diplomatic note to China as soon as possible. In addition to condolences to the Chinese Yuan, we also want to make it clear that we have no intention of breaking the ceasefire agreement, and that we will fulfill our commitments, but that the withdrawal of troops must be slowed down. ”
"Slowing down?" Tuto immediately frowned.
"The withdrawal of troops in the east has slowed down."
Tuto hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head to show that he understood what the prime minister meant.
Rurajapani pondered for a moment and looked at Defense Minister Ayamer.
"I will arrange the relevant work as soon as possible and slow down the withdrawal of troops."
Rurajapani nodded and said, "We must also pay attention to the situation within the army, and there must be no accidents.
Ayamel nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.
Subsequently, Rurajapani assigned jobs to several other officials.
Since China intends to bring down the Indian government, Rurajapani cannot afford to be unguarded.
