Training, moon knife day. Pei Chengyi officially issued an order to all combat units to rest and recuperate, although the sweeping operation against the small remnants of the Ear Army has not yet ended, but the fighting in New Delhi, Surat and Visakhapat to the south has ended. Raipur's Indian army also surrendered on the 10,000th day of the month. Large-scale combat operations in all directions officially ended.

The next step will definitely be to attack Hyderabad.

How to fight, but it is not up to Pei Chengyi to decide.

After a detailed understanding of the situation of each unit, Pei Chengyi realized that what the republican ** team needed most was not to immediately move the next battle, but to get enough rest and recuperation to replenish the lost soldiers.

Arguably. The situation in the various units is not ideal.

It is not that the combat effectiveness of the army is not enough, it is not that the soldiers are not desperate enough, and it is not that the equipment is not advanced enough, but it was originally planned to take a month-long break from the fighters, and then participate in the decisive battle on the Western Front. Because the war plan was determined before the outbreak of the war, all the troops prepared for the war according to the principle of fighting Feng Tian in two separate battles. As a matter of fact. By the end of the Battle of Bhopal, the decisive battle on the Eastern Front had only been fought to the end of the day, all units had completed their tasks, and the results of the battle were far beyond the war plan formulated by Pei Chengyi. The decisive battle on the Western Front was not fought at all, but turned into four local battles against New Delhi, Surat, Raipur and Visakhapatnam, and the duration was not Feng Tian as originally calculated, but Litian. What's more, during this period, the units did not receive a long-term recuperation, only a few days of short-term recuperation, and most of the lost troops were not replenished.

The decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops is not a problem, but the question of how to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In the afternoon of the same day. Pei Chengyi left Wauzirabad. Depart for the return to the General Staff.

About two hours after Pei Chengyi's departure, the Indian interim government was proclaimed in New Delhi, and Suworth, who had the support of various districts and walks of life in India, became the prime minister of the interim government. Pei Chengyi watched the relevant news report on the plane, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that he had seen Suvos in Islamabad. It was only two years ago that I met Suvos with the Pakistani president at a dinner held by the Pakistani government for international friends, because Pei Chengyi had only arrived in Pakistan at that time, and he was not very familiar with important members of the Pakistani military and political circles, so he was not received separately by the Pakistani president. So I've met Suvos and don't know him very well.

What kind of person is Sutis?

Go back to the years ago. Sutis's influence in India was no less than that of Rurajapani. Born into a civilian family, Suworth was awarded a full scholarship to the University of Delhi, India's most prestigious university, and a full scholarship to Stanford University, where he became an electrical and electronics engineer at the age of three, and returned to India after three years at Intel to start an electronics manufacturing company.

At this time, the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War had just ended, India was in ruins, and Suvos's company quickly grew. After Rurajapani came to power, India began to carry out economic reforms, and Sutis became a well-known national capitalist in India in just one year, and the "Indian Microelectronics Company" founded by him also developed into a group company with four subsidiaries and a branch of the left. At its peak, the employees were too old. Although the "Indian Microelectronics Company" is not a giant in terms of scale, Suvos's identity has given hope to many Indian civilians, and he has become a representative of Indian civilians. At a time when Rurajapani was pushing ahead with economic reforms, Suvos took a different path, one that excites India's common people: politics. 2. Savos was elected as a member of the National Assembly and officially entered the Indian political arena. Although during his time as a member of parliament, Suworth did not do much. But as a staunch supporter of reform policies, Suvos became the representative of the "common people's elite" who had gained economic status and actively sought political independence. There is no doubt that Safes has always advocated improving relations with China and using China's huge market to drive India's economic exhibition. We firmly advocate the settlement of territorial disputes with China through negotiations. These political ideas were also the political ideas of Rurajapani in the early days of his administration. After the end of the Japanese War, the political winds in India began to change, and the performance of the "Indian Microelectronics Company" deteriorated. In the year of the thug, Suwas lost the election and left Indian politics. On the opportunity to thank the voters who supported him, Suworths bluntly mentioned that the policy of all-out tilt towards the United States as the Western country will inevitably cause India to suffer the worst in a thousand years. This speech first brought disaster to Suwas. A few months later, the Bangalore District Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit against the "Indian Microelectronics Company" for tax evasion, and the court finally ordered Sutisi to pay a hefty fine of 100 billion rupees. Because of his inability to pay the fine, the "Indian Microelectronics Company" was confiscated by the court, and Suvos was also imprisoned at the beginning of the year. He was not pardoned until the end of the year. At the beginning of the year, Suvos left India and went to Islamabad to establish the "Democratic India Renaissance Society" It was at this time that Suvos was received by the president of Pakistan and met Pei Chengyi at a dinner.

From his experience, it can be seen that Suvos is an elite class of Indian civilians

Before the outbreak of the war, the "Democratic Indian Renaissance Society" merged with the "Free India Alliance, Indian Equal Rights Society, Indian National Salvation Society" and other exiled Indian democratic and liberal societies to form the "Indian Democratic Renaissance Party".

In fact. At the beginning of its establishment, the "Democratic Restoration Party" had only a few official members.

It is entirely reasonable that Sutis is once again on the Indian political scene at this time. In the words of the Western news media, after the death of Rurajapani, Suvos became India's most influential political figure, the only political leader who could unite the majority of Indians, a leading figure in building a free India, a democratic India, an equal India, and the hope for India's future. The Western news media did not mention the past of Safes, nor did they mention that Safes had always opposed the political position of defecting to the Western world, let alone the identity of Safes as a national capitalist.

Wang Yuanqing's choice of Suvos at this time was tantamount to announcing India's post-war political development

Although Suvos insisted on a small line of demarcation with the Western world, and not to allow India to become a lackey of the Western world. It has become a weapon for the Western world to deal with China, and in practice, it also believes that India should cooperate with China and use its own advantages to make up for each other's disadvantages. Create the future together, but fundamentally. Suworths wasn't really a "leftist." That is, it does not advocate a complete surrender to China, but uses China to make India more hoatable, with the fundamental aim of building a democratic, free and equal India, an India where all Indians can enjoy the fruits of economic development, and an India that can play a greater role in the world of the future.

I have to admit that Suworths's political thinking is very unidealistic. But who can deny that truly talented politicians are not so idealistic? If a politician has no ideals, he is not a politician, but a politician who serves interest groups.

Politicians must have ideals, and more importantly, they must have a pragmatic spirit and the ability to handle practical affairs.

In this regard. Sutis fully meets the standards of a good politician.

As an Indian national entrepreneur, "Indian Microelectronics Corporation" is a direct embodiment of the pragmatic spirit of Safes. It is also a manifestation of its ability to deal with real affairs. The tax evasion of the "Indian microelectronics company" is just the statement of the Indian government, and the vast majority of Indian people do not believe that Suvos will do such a thing. There are even many people who believe that this is just a conspiracy by the traditional forces to deal with Suvos. Suvos's arrest and imprisonment was an out-and-out witch hunt. It is also true that shortly after Sutis's imprisonment, the "Indian Microelectronics Company" was sold by the Bangalore District Court to the "Indian Business Electronics Group" controlled by the Fernandez family for less than one billion rupees. And it was a black-box operation without a public auction. In the circumstances of the time. The total value of the "Indian Microelectronics Company" will not be less than 100 million rupees, and the total assets after deducting debts are also around 100 million rupees.

What's more, Suvos had political experience.

Although he had no experience in government, during his years as a member of the National Assembly, Suvos had a direct and deep understanding of how to build a democratic, free and equal political system, and during this time developed an independent political mind.

In Pei's view, Suvos lacks only an assistant who is proficient in administrative management.

As long as Suvos is given the right responsibility, there is great hope for a democratic, free and equal political system in India.

The question is. Is there a suitable candidate?

Having spent two years in Pakistan, Pei Chengyi also has an understanding of the political situation in India. In his view, there is no shortage of political leaders in India, there is no Suvos, there are other civilian elites, what is really lacking is politicians who are proficient in administration and know how to balance the power of all parties. It can even be said that Rurajapani is relying on his strong administrative skills. It has been a glorious year in Indian politics. If Rurajapani had been a little more idealistic and knew how to balance the forces of all sides and use them to make use of them, he would not have ended up in this situation.

In fact. India really does not have a second Rurajapani.

Thus. Rurajapani is not the same kind as Suvos. Rurajapani's political success was no accident, and neither was Suworth's political failure.

There is no suitable candidate in India, and Wang Yuanqing will definitely arrange a suitable candidate for India.

At least during the transition period, Wang Yuanqing will not let go. It can even be said that the time when India will be able to gain independent political power is entirely up to the executives. Of course, in the case of India, it will only take time to find a suitable candidate among the hundreds of millions of Indians.

When the plane landed at the air base on the outskirts of the capital, Pei Chengyi didn't think about it anymore.

The political process in India is a matter for politicians, not for military personnel.

Returning to the General Staff this time, Pei Chengyi's important task went to the Chief of the General Staff and Yuan to explain the next round of military operations and give a more detailed explanation of the course of the war.

It's not a simple thing, and it's not an easy thing to do.

After arriving at the General Staff, Pei Chengyi immediately went to Xiang Linghui's office.

"It's back. How was it all the way? Xiang Linghui nodded at Pei Chengyi, quickly signed the document, and then said to the secretary standing next to him, "Go to the Ministry of Defense and let them give a clear answer as soon as possible." ”

The secretary didn't say much, and left the office with the female piece that Yu Hun answered, "No way." There are so many annoying things that I was going to pick you up at the airport, but I ended up being too busy. Xiang Linghui personally made a cup of tea for Split Chengyi. After sitting on the sand opposite Pei Chengyi, he said. "I've heard that the state of the units is not very good. Yuan called me several times to inquire about the situation at the front.

You know that, too. The situation is changing, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded and picked up the cigarette case placed on the coffee table.

"What do you think?"

"No matter how strong the subjective will is, it must be subordinated to objective facts." Pei Chengyi lit a cigarette and said, "The situation is very clear. If I'm not mistaken, Yuan is most concerned about the legitimacy of the Interim Government of India. To put it simply, it is impossible for India to have two legitimate regimes at the same time. The establishment of the Indian interim government has just been announced, and the Western countries have not immediately expressed their position, which does not indicate that the Western countries will recognize the legitimacy of the provisional government, still less can it prove that the Western countries will not take advantage of this to make trouble. As long as the United States takes the lead, many Western countries, including the European Union, will make a fuss about India's interim government. Meta is definitely thinking about this. And there won't be a strong reaction in the short term, because we need time. In other words, the sooner the Hyderabad regime is overthrown, the more the legitimacy of the interim government will be consolidated. When the time comes, there will be only one regime, and there will be no question of legitimacy or illegitimacy, at least no country will be able to deny the sole regime in India. ”

Xiang Linghui nodded and said, "It seems that I don't need to remind you extraordinarily. ”

"The problem is, it's not going to be fast at all." Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said. "A few days ago, I went to the wounded army, led the army and walked the army, and I had a general understanding of the situation. Relatively speaking, the situation of the three field armies was quite ideal, after all, before the attack on New Delhi, there were not many combat missions. in other field armies. Except for the sword army, which was stunned and replenished before this, the situation of the other armies was not ideal, the Nu army needed to be replenished with 3,500 men, the correction army needed to be replenished with 4,000 men, the Hongjun army needed to be replenished with 4,600 men, the leading army needed to be supplemented with 2,000 men, the fallen army needed to be replenished with 1,800 men, the sword army needed to be replenished with 2,400 men, the previous army needed to be replenished with 2,200 men, and the gangster army needed to replenish 1,700 men, and the situation of the three airborne armies was even worse, and all the airborne brigades did not regain their combat effectiveness. The combat brigade of the Air Assault Brigade fell by an average of thirty percent. According to the current level of replenishment, units can only participate in large-scale combat operations as soon as early November. ”

"Early November?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "This is still the most ideal situation. Of course, the front-line command will draw up an operational plan when the units are undergoing a long period of recuperation, as long as the troops are back to combat effectiveness. to be able to take immediate action. ”

Xiang Linghui pondered for a while and said, "According to what you say." The biggest problem is the replenishment of troops. ”

"And the psychological state of the officers and soldiers." Pei Chengyi sighed and said. "Comparatively speaking, the war-weariness and exhaustion of officers and men are more severe than the attrition. Not to mention the front-line troops, even the logistics support troops are exhausted. And even more, in addition to the ground forces, the state of aviation is even worse. ”

Xiang Linghui nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

The Air Force has repeatedly called for a reduction in the intensity of air support so that all units participating in the war, especially tactical aviation, can have sufficient time to recuperate and carry out a comprehensive overhaul of many fighter planes. According to the Air Force. If the previous combat intensity is still maintained, the Air Force's accident loss rate will exceed the combat loss rate. In fact, before Pei Chengyi gave the order to rest. The combat losses of the Air Force as a result of the accident reached the blanket and the combat losses were already passed.

"If you look at it from the perspective of rest and recuperation, without considering the replenishment of troops, when can you start the next round of attacks?"

"End of October at the earliest." Pei Chengyi replied very directly. "Officers and soldiers need to rest, and support troops need to be maintained. To start the next round of offensive at the end of October. A lot of preparation has to be done. Among other things, the maintenance of the aviation will have to be more than doubled, and manufacturers must be involved. ”

"I will arrange this matter, you can summarize the other problems, and report to me in detail as soon as possible.

Pei Chengyi smiled, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Xiang Linghui.

"You're ready?"

"I'm not going to fight unprepared."

Xiang Linghui smiled and flipped through the documents.

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't say anything about Yuan, it's better for you to say how about it, and try to postpone the start of the battle until the end of October." ”

Xiang Linghui frowned slightly and looked at Pei Chengyi.

"To speed up the course of the war, we should not pay the price of greater casualties among the front-line soldiers, but should do what we can."

"If the offensive starts at the end of October, is there any certainty that the large-scale military campaign will end at the end of the year?

"It's unlikely that the end of the year will end, but it will certainly be able to end a large-scale military operation early next year."

Xiang Linghui nodded slightly and said, "I will explain to Yuan and buy you more time." ”

Then. The phone on the desk rang.

"It seems. Yuan already knew that you were back, Xiang Linghui said as he walked towards the desk.

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, it would be nothing good to come back anyway.
