After receiving a call from Yuanfu, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi knew the reason why Yuan called him Yang Fanbo. [Full text reading]

Prior to the receipt of India's diplomatic note, the Republican Air Force and the reconnaissance units of the 6th Army halted the withdrawal of troops from the eastern part of India. There were even some troops who had already left the defense zone and returned to defensive positions. This situation was immediately reported to the General Staff Headquarters, and Xiang Linghui held a military meeting overnight.

Even if Wang Yuanqing didn't ask Jiao Weishan to call the General Staff, Xiang Linghui would take the initiative to contact Yuan.

The secret ceasefire agreement is not just a matter of words, but of deeds. Unlike ceasefire agreements on paper, verbal agreements can only be phased in under the principle of reciprocity, and no matter which side deliberately violates the ceasefire agreement, the other can take immediate "remedy." Measure. According to the ceasefire agreement reached between China and India, it will only be after India withdraws its troops stationed in the eastern region as promised. There will be a general ceasefire in the Republic; If India fails to deliver on its commitments, the Republic will embark on a large-scale military operation after the expiry of the agreement's withdrawal timeframe.

From a purely military point of view, there is no reason for India to tear up the ceasefire halfway.

At the time of the consultation, in order to prevent India from backtracking. The Republic put the most important withdrawal at the forefront, that is, the Indian troops stationed in southern Tibet took the lead in stopping resistance and surrendering to the Republican Army, while the Republic temporarily suspended military operations against India and repatriated Indian officers and soldiers after a general ceasefire.

With this step, India has lost the opportunity to turn back.

If India breaks the ceasefire agreement, it will not only lose southern Tibet in vain, but will also face more fierce military strikes.

As long as the Indian prime minister is not a fool, he should not tear up the ceasefire without any ability to fight back.

Xiang Linghui did not make the decision to resume the military attack without authorization, but decided to ask for instructions first.

The two arrived at the Yuan Mansion. Wang Yuanqing asked Li Cunxun to give a general introduction to the situation.

"The cease-fire agreement makes it very clear that India has changed its withdrawal plan without authorization" We have the right to resume military strikes, and there is no need to appease the traitors Wang Yuanqing made his purpose clear, saying, "Resuming military strikes is only a means, and how to achieve the goal through military strikes is the key." My opinion is that military strikes should be carried out in moderation and should not be blindly expanded. Still less can regional conflicts turn into full-scale wars. Our purpose is threefold: First, to test the actual combat capability of our army's new equipment. The second is to force India to earnestly implement the ceasefire agreement, and the third is to deter certain countries with ulterior motives. As always. I only request that specific military operations be planned and carried out by the General Staff. ”

Xiang Linghui nodded and glanced at Pan Yunsheng, who was sitting next to Wang Yuanqing.

Pei Chengyi also noticed Pan Yunsheng and looked a little puzzled.

"Lao Pan was invited by me to provide me with decision-making advice

Xiang Linghui immediately understood and glanced at Pei Chengyi.

"If you want to achieve three goals, you need more preparation time

Wang Yuanqing nodded and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"Prior to this, in order to ensure the smooth recovery of southern Tibet, except for the new weapons and equipment that have been equipped with some units for more than one year to participate in the war, the rest of the new weapons and equipment that are still in the final type test, or have completed the final type test within one year, and have not yet been equipped on a large scale in the actual combat have not participated in the actual combat." Pei Chengyi tried to be as simple as possible. "If these weapons and equipment are allowed to participate in actual combat, it will take several days from planning combat operations to mobilizing troops. Even if several tasks are carried out at the same time, and the main purpose is to test the actual combat capability of new weapons and equipment, the first batch of equipment can only be put into battle after 24 hours at the earliest, and the preparations for a comprehensive test will take at least a week. ”

"The selection of focused, most valuable new weapons will be tested in real combat

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "The planning work is not very big, and it is mainly a matter of time. ”

"What Yuan means is that he hopes to test the correctness of this round of military technology revolution through the next conflict." Li Cunxun explained for Wang Yuanqing. "With the completion of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, especially unmanned equipment, it will not be long before we have to carry out a larger-scale refitting work. Compared with the previous weapons and equipment, the problem of unmanned equipment is more prominent, such as whether unmanned equipment can fundamentally reduce the cost of war, whether it can complete combat tasks like manned equipment, whether it can replace manned equipment in an all-round way, and so on. These problems can only be tested on the battlefield.

Only by proving the effectiveness of the new equipment can it provide a factual basis for large-scale reloading

Another point, Pan Yunsheng took over the topic of Li Cunxun and said, "The new round of military technology revolution will not only have a major impact on our national defense construction, but also have a major impact on the national defense construction of all other countries." We should not only prove through war whether the revolution in military technology can fundamentally change the face of war in the same way as theoretical derivation, but also convey a certain message to other countries through war. To put it simply, the revolution in military technology has a bearing on the future international pattern and, even more, on our strategic balance with the United States. If we can find the right way forward in this conflict. to occupy new commanding heights. But only by putting the United States on the wrong path can it completely suppress its competitors

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, understanding what the two leaders of the Military Intelligence Agency meant.

Xiang Linghui also heard it, and then looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"India's reversal at this time is a sign of a major shift in Rurajapani's policy." Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and said, "We have reason to believe that even if India completes the withdrawal operation as promised, it will not be able to fundamentally eliminate the contradictions between us and India, but will instead lay the foundation for the next war." After the end of the conflict. The United States will spare no effort to support India, and India will unreservedly throw itself into the arms of the United States. In a few years, the next war will break out. And not a simple border conflict, but a full-scale war for us with India. As the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war, we must prepare for war now. Testing the actual combat capability of new weapons and equipment through conflict is not only of no guiding significance to our army's future construction, but is also the first war preparation work we have carried out. ”

"In that case, we have to replan the strike."

"Even if it takes a little more time, it's nothing." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui, turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi, and said, "According to the secret ceasefire agreement we have reached with India, the Indian army will complete the withdrawal operation in the eastern region by midnight on the 12th, and the General Staff still has about forty-eight hours to prepare. In accordance with the principle of expanding the scale of military strikes in a measured manner, priority can be given to the participation of some new equipment of typical significance. Then consider other new types of equipment. No matter how far it goes, as soon as India gives in, the military operation will end immediately. ”

"In this way, only the most important new equipment can be prioritized for the war."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "The second thing today is to promote peace with war. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to be cautious when choosing to attack the Japanese standard, and to achieve the goal of hurting India. It is also necessary to prevent the conflict from expanding. In this regard, Mr. Xiang and General Pei have more experience than me. ”

"I'm personally in charge of target selection."

"Remember to give me a detailed report."

Xiang Linghui nodded and agreed.

"The last purpose is to deter certain countries, especially the United States." Wang Yuanqing paused slightly and said, "To put it simply. It is to let the United States know the gap with us, especially in advanced weaponry, so that the United States can invest more money in national defense construction. The most important purpose is to get the United States to provide support to India with all it has, so as to achieve the goal of depleting the national strength of the United States. There's no denying it. This will have a detrimental effect on our all-out war with India in a few years' time, but we have the initiative and should not be afraid of the challenge, but should have enough confidence to overcome it. Ultimately. India is not the United States, and it is much easier to defeat the Indian army, armed with American-style equipment, than to defeat the American army. Looking at the longer term, as long as we can defeat India, which is armed by the United States, we can deal the greatest blow to the international prestige and prestige of the United States, thereby weakening the international status of the United States. ”

After listening to Wang Yuanqing, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi both showed embarrassment.

Obviously, the requirements for a few catties of yuan are not completely consistent. If you want to deter the United States, you have to go all out. In order to control the scale of the conflict, it is necessary to be reserved. How to find a balance between the two is completely out of the scope of Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi's ability, and it has become the most important problem.

"The key is to be quick and ruthless." Pan Yunsheng relieved the siege for the two, "compared to when the conflict broke out." At this time, India was ready, and it was difficult for a military strike to produce a sudden effect. In the eyes of all, expanding the scale of the conflict is likely to lead to an escalation of the conflict, and our army will pay an even greater price for it. If India can be forced to submit through military strikes that no one can imagine, it will be able to deter the United States to the greatest extent. ”

After listening to Pan Yunsheng, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi glanced at each other and seemed to have an epiphany.

"How to fight, it is still up to the General Staff to have the final say." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Before the operation begins, submit a detailed battle plan to me. ”

"No problem, we'll arrange it as soon as possible.

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Time is precious, so I won't be verbose anymore." When you go back, deploy as soon as possible. ”

Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi immediately got up and said goodbye.

Li Cunxun sat for a while, and also said goodbye to Yuanhe.

didn't let Wang Yuanqing speak, Pan Yunsheng stayed.

"Old Pan, are you sure?"

"I can't grasp it, it depends on Pei Chengyi's performance." Pan Yunsheng glanced at Wang Yuanqing and said, "Handle this matter well, there is basically no other trouble, I should too."

"Lao Pan, you can't go." Wang Yuanqing preemptively said, "You also know that war is inevitable in a few years. Not for anything else. Even if it's a goal you've been fighting for for years, you should stay and help me get through it. Lao Pan, this is not an order, but a request, a request between friends. ”

Pan Yunmang hesitated for a moment, let out a long breath, and said, "It seems that Lao Ji sold me." ”

Wang Yuanqing smiled, knowing that Pan Yunsheng had agreed to his request.
