Chapter 25: The Gap

Then I begged for it every day. 【Full text reading】The worst day must be Rurajapa II,

In the face of the menacing republic, the Indian top leadership can't even unify their opinions, can Rurajapani not be in a hurry?

In July, after a meeting with Yan Shanglong, Rurajapani convened the first high-level government meeting to discuss a solution to the Sikkim issue. He was disappointed by the results, and many ministers, including the Minister of Defence, were adamantly opposed to the withdrawal of troops from Sikkim, except for a few ministers such as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance. In fact, even the foreign ministers are mostly opposed to the withdrawal of troops from Sikkim, but they do not support a solution to the Sikkim issue through war.

In the following days, Rurajapani held a series of high-level government meetings and met with parliamentary leaders.

The situation has not improved at all, with the leaders of all parties in Parliament firmly opposing the withdrawal of troops from Sikkim and even the leading MPs of the Congress Party not supporting the Prime Minister's compromise.

On the afternoon of the flying day, Rurajapani convened the seventh high-level meeting of the government.

The outcome of the discussion did not change much, with Defence Minister Ayamel firmly advocating a war with the Republic in Sikkim, Foreign Minister Tuto arguing that greater efforts should be made on the diplomatic front, and other ministers were divided, with the vast majority supporting Ayamer's idea of war and only a few believing that diplomatic efforts should be continued.

The situation has gotten out of control and Rurajapani is at a loss.

The transformation of Ayamel and others did not happen overnight, and Rurajapani was not surprised.

After the conflict in southern Tibet, India adjusted its policy and turned to the United States in an all-round way, and the fundamental purpose of Rurajapani was to prevent India from embarking on the path of self-destruction. The prime minister's decision was misunderstood by many government officials, including Defense Minister Ayamer, many believe that Rurajapani threw himself into the arms of the United States in order to maintain power, and some even believe that the prime minister has gained huge economic benefits by cooperating with the United States.

Rurajapani never imagined that his political choices would produce such results.

According to the information collected by the Ministry of Information and Intelligence, when purchasing US firearms, Ayamel accepted at least $40,000 worth of valuables from thugs of several US arms dealers, and obtained shares in Gill, an arms production enterprise jointly established by India's largest arms company, the United States Loma Company and the Indian State Arms Company. Plus the benefits you get through other channels. Ayamel became the main beneficiary of India's military expansion.

The ministers who supported the war were no better, and Secretary of the Interior Leonard had already sent his children to the United States, where he had purchased a estate of hundreds of acres; Industry Minister Kuria is a shareholder in a number of large Indian companies with total assets of over $100 million; Agriculture Secretary Gillabury received tens of millions of dollars in bribes through cooperation with three large agricultural enterprises in the United States; Minister of Economy and Trade Mandevilla, who has billions of dollars in assets in the United States, has long since become the richest minister in the government; The Minister of Culture and Education, Cheani, made the least money, with tens of millions of dollars; The Minister of Science and Technology Industry, Rashak, has gained no less than Ayamel by cooperating with scientific research institutions in the United States; Even Foreign Minister Tuto has benefited greatly, with his children buying properties in the United States worth tens of millions of dollars.

These Rurajapani's carefully cultivated subordinates are all involved with the United States without exception.

Involved with the United States, and with the main war faction, that is, the Brahmin aristocracy who vainly sought war money.

Rurajapani felt helpless. Although he is the supreme executive leader of India and the de facto commander of the three Indian armed forces, the nominal supreme commander of the three Indian armed forces is the president, but when everyone advocates war and actively supports it, Rurajapani cannot play a role in turning the tide.

Towards the end of the meeting, Rurajadini had to bow to the government ministers.

According to the conclusion reached by the ministers' vote, it is up to the parliament to decide whether to take a larger military action in Sikkim or not.

When Rurajapani adjourned the meeting, the Minister of Internal Health and Security, Gamar, deliberately stood up last, as if he had something to say to the prime minister. It's just that Rurajapani didn't notice Gamar and didn't let him stay alone.

The situation has become irreversible, and to hand over decision-making power to Parliament is tantamount to entrusting the fate of India to the Brahmin aristocracy.

In the evening, Rurajapani returned to his study alone.

Four years is enough time for China to complete preparations for war, and it is also enough for the main war faction in India to seize power.

Although Rurajapani still lives in the Prime Minister's Office, power in India has fallen into the hands of the main war faction.

Facing the setting sun, Rurajapani suddenly felt at a loss.

Is it in vain?

After his resurrection, Rurajapani finally realized that it was not only the Brahmin aristocracy who were driven by the abyss of destruction in India, but also the United States, which was secretly working hard.

As a frontline against China, India has inevitably become a pawn in the hands of the United States.

Rurajapani was remorseful because he knew he was going in the wrong direction.

On the surface, India has the capital to compete with China in terms of population, land area, geographical location, natural resources, and even industrial capacity. In fact, India is far behind China in terms of its national structure, economic strength, cultural beliefs, and scientific and technological level, which are most closely related to the country's war power.

After a brief sigh, Rurajapani returned to reality.

China has mobilized the old field army, including the logistics support force, a total of about 10,000 ground troops; The Air Force mobilized nearly four combat planes, including recessed tactical fighters, Kouzheng strategic bombers, Jinjia transport planes, and auxiliary tankers, and counted the combat planes of the naval air force. Haieryu contributed to 6 aircraft carrier battle groups. Dozens of large surface warships. and the 27 Han Attack Submarine.

Such a huge scale of war mobilization is by no means for the purpose of fighting a border war.

Does India have a chance of winning?

Rurajapani knew very well that as long as a full-scale war broke out, India would not even have the slightest chance of winning.

On the land side, India can mobilize at most. In terms of main battle equipment, although India has a numerical advantage. One of the main battle tanks is near! more than four concave vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, and artillery and rocket artillery with a caliber of more than one millimeter; China's old field army had more than one main battle tank, more than one infantry fighting vehicle, less than four armored vehicles, and a surplus of various types of artillery, including railroad guns and rocket artillery. But the gap in quality is even more pronounced, and the main battle tanks of the Indian Army are basically eliminated by the United States ... Still, there is only the "Leopard 4" and the Chinese Army has been fully equipped with the latest version of the "sixth-generation main battle tank." "Only a small number of troops are equipped with the fifth-generation main battle tanks of the Tian Ichi Yin series." In terms of infantry fighting vehicles, the main force of the Indian Army is the Peng series, and even the Peng series equipped by some troops, while the Chinese Army has been fully reequipped. mouth with four series of combat vehicles; In terms of armored vehicles, India has an absolute advantage, while the Chinese Army has long eliminated armored vehicles with infantry fighting vehicles; In terms of artillery, the Indian Army only has a battalion of orbital electromagnetic guns, while the Chinese Army has all orbital electromagnetic guns, and even replaces most of the rocket artillery with them. When the quality gap is too large, no matter how big the quantitative advantage is, it is meaningless. Taking the main battle tank as an example, the older than the 3 can destroy the hand within the observation distance, 3, destroy any kind of fifth-generation main battle tank within the blade meter, and the "Leopard 3" can only penetrate the side armor of the guide within 24 meters, and even if it is close to fire, it cannot penetrate the older frontal armor than the 3; Even if the opponent's armor can't penetrate it, can the main battle tank still fight on the battlefield?

In terms of air force, India's gap is slightly smaller, but it is still huge enough. Although the number of small and old fighters is still very huge, accounting for about 8 percent of the total number of tactical aviation units of the Chinese Air Force, in the battle of seizing air supremacy, as long as the small thugs who are the first to enter the battle will be able to display considerable combat effectiveness in the later battles. The main force of the Indian Air Force is the phagocytosis series, and the total equipment introduced a few years ago is less than the strength of the first one. And mom is a medium multi-role fighter, not a heavy air superior, and in the battle for air supremacy, it is certainly not a small old opponent, or even an opponent of Xiaokou. If it cannot hold air supremacy, the Indian Air Force will lose again, and India will lose the war again. If we look at the comprehensive combat capability of the Air Force, the gap between the Indian Air Force and the Indian Air Force is even greater.

The Chinese Air Force has hundreds of strategic bombers, the world's largest transport fleet, second only to the U.S. Air Force's refueling fleet, and a large support fleet; The Indian Air Force has less than four AWACS aircraft, "four tactical transport planes, and a pitiful number of tankers." Counting the huge Chinese army aviation, India does not have army aviation, and the vast majority of helicopters and tiltrotary-wing aircraft are owned by the Air Force, and the gap between the Indian Air Force is even greater. According to outside estimates, India is only one-tenth of China's ability to project air forces, that is, transport aircraft, which has the greatest impact on mountain operations. This gap is enough to determine the outcome of the battle between the two sides in the Himalayas.

In terms of the navy, India is not inferior in quantity, but in overall quality. Although it has obtained the Shy Fighter Mother, the combat effectiveness of the Indian aircraft carrier battle group is very limited. It's not that the aircraft carrier is not strong enough, but that the escort warship is not strong enough. According to the Indian Navy's establishment system, "the escort attack submarines of the aircraft carrier battle group are supported, while the Chinese Navy is a broken air defense cruiser, 3 multipurpose destroyers, 3 ocean-going frigates and attack submarines." Although both sides will strengthen the escort destroyers and frigates of the aircraft carrier battle group in wartime, their overall defense capability, especially their anti-submarine capability, will be significantly improved. Compared to the surface fleet, the gap between India in submarine forces is even more pronounced. In total, China has nearly one of the youngest submarines, all of which are the latest hybrid attack submarines, with the exception of a few all-electric submarines. Although it includes an attack submarine that can track the strategic submarines of the United States, Russia and other countries, China can also mobilize at least one attack submarine in a war. The total number of submarines in India is also less than a blade, and only six are conventional submarines that use composite batteries as submersible power. In terms of combat capability, India's submarine forces are less than one-tenth of China's submarine forces.

Of the three main branches of the armed forces, India does not have any advantages.

India also has no advantage in terms of independent arms that determine the commanding heights of war and the capability of all-out war.

China has a total force of more than 10,000 troops, and has an independent marine brigade, and the establishment of the marine brigade is larger than that of the army brigade; , the total strength of the brigade is in Zuogu, quite dry, division. In addition, there are independent combat units such as the landing fleet, aviation, engineering troops, and artillery units under its direct command. The Indian Marine Corps is only a concave man, and it is not an independent branch of the army, so it is difficult to carry out combat missions alone. Although many people think that the Chinese Marine Corps is the "reserve force" of the Army, people with a little military knowledge know that there is a big difference between the Marine Corps and the Army, the Marine Corps is better at carrying out combat missions in coastal areas, and the Army is better at carrying out combat missions in the interior. Besides, the Marine Corps is an independent branch of the armed forces and does not rely on the support of the Army. It's just that in Rurajapani's opinion, the Chinese Marine Corps is indeed a formidable force. No matter where it appears, "2 Marine brigades can make any pound." The adversary is feared and can even win a large-scale ground war alone.

If the difference in the Marine Corps is the strength of the troops, then the difference in the heavenly soldiers is the height.

After many years of exhibition, China's heavenly soldiers have become a combat unit with actual combat capability and actual combat experience, while India's heavenly soldiers do not even have a framework. In the battle for the commanding heights of war, the heavenly soldiers play an irreplaceable role. The Japanese war has proven that whoever has mastered the right to control space will have the right to control information and the initiative in war. Although India has built up an "air and space combat force" capable of dealing with military targets in space, it is no match for China's space forces in terms of strength and scale. More importantly, the Heavenly Soldiers are already the backbone of China's strategic defense forces and an absolute barrier to China's own security, while India does not have such a barrier.

Not to mention electronic information warfare units, even if India has obtained a large amount of advanced equipment provided by the United States, it still lags far behind modern warfare in terms of military thinking. Not to mention anything else, India does not even have a complete set of war ideas on how to conduct electronic information warfare, while China's electronic information warfare units have already gone back and forth on the battlefield several times and proved their combat effectiveness with actual combat actions.

In terms of conventional military strength, although India has a combat force with a scale of more than 10,000 units, it is too far behind in terms of combat effectiveness, and it is not at the same level as the squadron.

In the face of nuclear forces, does India have a chance of winning?

Rurajapani did not dare to have any extravagant hopes, because India's nuclear forces were basically no threat to China.

During the Japanese War, China demonstrated to the world the combat effectiveness of its strategic defense system and threw Japan into 18 layers of hell. After so many years of development, China has built a more complete strategic defense system, and it has enough ability to deal with India, whose nuclear strength is comparable to that of Japan.

Fundamentally, Rurajapani does not want to fight a nuclear war, or else he would not follow China's example in the negotiations on comprehensive nuclear disarmament and solemnly promise that India will not use nuclear weapons first at any time and under any circumstances.

It's not that Rurajapani doesn't want to use it, but he doesn't dare to use it.

Although the United States has promised to provide India with the basic technology of controlled fusion nuclear power plants, help India build dozens of controlled fusion nuclear power plants, and fully replace the cracked nuclear power plant, but the technology of the United States has just matured, and the construction period of a controlled fusion nuclear power plant is between 3 and years, and there are still a large number of fission nuclear power plants in India.

With Japan's example, will India still dare to threaten China with nuclear weapons?

Geographically, India is in a more dangerous position than Japan. During the war, China did not carry out a strategic counterattack after being attacked by Japan's nuclear attack, mainly because it was worried that the cloud of radioactive contamination from the nuclear explosion would drift to China itself and have a catastrophic impact on China's natural environment. The Sea of Japan and the East China Sea can't stop the clouds from fluttering, but the Himalayas, the highest in the world, can easily block the clouds. Although through the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, the humid air flow of South Asia can enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but due to the influence of the plateau, it is difficult for the air flow to reach the southwest region with a dense Chinese population, so it cannot pose much threat to China. In other words, if India uses nuclear weapons first in a war, there is a good chance that China will retaliate with nuclear weapons in addition to bombing India's nuclear facilities. India has no chance of winning a nuclear weapon fight with China.

What's more, India's nuclear threat poses little to China. According to the intelligence provided by the Ministry of Information and Intelligence, China's strategic defense system is not directed against India, but against the United States. In other words, China's aim is to create a defense system capable of resisting a full-scale U.S. nuclear attack. The United States has thousands of nuclear warheads and is capable of dropping thousands of nuclear warheads on the Chinese mainland at a time, and if China's defense system can block thousands of nuclear warheads, it will certainly be able to block India's hundreds of nuclear warheads. According to the information provided by the United States, China's strategic defense system has entered the fourth stage of construction, and its defense capability has been markedly improved compared with that of Japan's wartime. If we include the missile interception systems at all levels that the army, navy, and air force have invested in and built separately, the total interception capability is between the four targets from Asahi to the fighter. China has spent four years preparing for war and has long since shifted its focus to India. Even if India launches all its missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, it will be difficult to break through China's strategic defense system.

India has no advantage in either its conventional military forces, which will determine the outcome of a war, or its nuclear forces, which will determine the survival of a country.

The direct consequence of the outbreak of war was that India lost all its capital and lost everything.

As a shrewd politician, Rurajapani is well aware of the consequences of war.

The problem is that Rurajapani has lost control of the situation.

In the last 3 days, will he be able to change the fate of India?
