When Shang Long returned to Beijing. The Military Intelligence Bureau provided information on India's deployment and nuclear weapons stockpile to the General Staff and the Forward Command, Xiang Linghui personally arranged the strike, and Pei Chengyi also received orders to assist the Strategic Strike Force in destroying India's nuclear forces.

Although the time was very short, Wang Yuanqing did not rush to give the order to strike.

Seeing Yan Shanglong, Wang Yuanqing personally made a cup of green tea for the foreign minister, who had worked hard for several days.

"What is the attitude of the US Secretary of State?

"It's hard to talk about it...... Yan Shanglong knew that Wang Yuanqing was proficient in diplomacy, and said bluntly, "Behind Sullivan is Blandino, and behind Blandino are major interest groups in the United States, especially American conglomerates. It is almost impossible to buy the assets of US companies in India with 250 billion yuan. Not to mention that the major American conglomerates will not agree, and neither will the US congressmen and the major trade unions. ”

Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "In other words, Sullivan didn't agree. ”

"We only agreed to hold negotiations on specific issues, and we still don't know exactly how to talk about them."

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "I've been thinking about this matter for the past two days. Although it looks like Kamiji. It is only a question of the interests of American companies in India, but it has a lot to do with India's post-war problems, and will even determine India's future

Yan Shanglong did not speak, this question has already passed the scope of diplomacy.

"What kind of country the United States is, we all know very well, the so-called no profit is not early, there is no benefit, will the United States cooperate with us? Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "Providing military intelligence is fundamentally not to help us, but to ensure the strategic security of the United States. The cessation of military aid to India does not mean that the United States does not intend to use India against us, but that it will avoid being caught up in India and unable to extricate itself. Rurajapani is finished, and the Indian government has died in name only. I can guarantee it. Branzino is watching the situation in India, and if the Indian leader who comes to power does not meet the appetite of the United States, the United States will clap its hands. On the contrary, the United States will continue to provide military assistance to India in a different way. The key question is who will come to power next, and whether they have the ability to make hemp for us.

Yan Shanglong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the question.

"Who do you think is most likely to come to power?"

"This. Yan Shanglong hesitated for a moment and said, "With the current situation, it is more likely that the military will come to power. Gujarad is trapped in New Delhi and even if he is able to escape, it is unlikely that he will reach Hyderabad within a few days. News of Rurajapani's death will spread soon. The Government of India will certainly elect an interim leader as soon as possible. As a result, it is Fernandez who is most likely to come to power

Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It seems that we want to go together." ”

If this is the case, the situation is not optimistic, Yan Shanglong did not say much.

Wang Yuanqing knew much better than Yan Shanglong what kind of person Fernandez was, because Wang Yuanqing was able to see the top-secret information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau that Yan Shanglong had no access to. As far as Yan Shanglong knows. Fernandez is the face of the United States in India's military circles. As long as Fernandez comes to power, the U.S. government will definitely say something. Even if the United States, in accordance with the secret agreement with the Republic, no longer provides military assistance to India, it will strategically help Fernandez and let this catty. The commander of the Navy Singles spent a few days in Hyderabad.

Wang Zhuoqing pondered for a while and said: "You are right, the US government will definitely go back on its word, and it will not give us a chance to criticize it. ”

It is necessary to speed up the march to the military degree, and Yan Shanglong cautiously mentioned it.

"I've thought about this, but the most important task now is to destroy India's nuclear arsenal. said, "After this matter is done, I will talk to Xiang Linghui again, and ask him to urge Pei Chengyi to defeat Hyderabad as soon as possible." ”

"There is also the matter of setting up an interim government

Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "This matter is done by Lao Gu." The candidate has been decided. ”

Seeing that Yuan Du had already been arranged, Yan Shanglong didn't say anything more.

"It's still a problem for American companies." Wang Yuanqing seemed to be a little unsatisfied, "In the past two days, I have talked to Lin Yanbo, Li Chengwen and others several times, what they mean is that the government should try not to interfere and let the private forces do it, so as not to cause trouble to diplomacy and politics, what do you think?" ”

"Civil power?" Yan Shanglong frowned slightly.

"What Lin Yanbo means is that an interim government will be established in India first, and military control will still be implemented, and after our army controls the entire territory of India, a general election will be held in India, a legitimate regime will be established, and finally the Indian government will decide on the issue of the de-border of American companies."

"In that case, the pressure shifts to the new Indian government." Yan Shanglong hesitated slightly. "It's good for us, though. At least diplomatically, no one can accuse us of secretly manipulating the Indian regime, but India's new government has been set up with the task of stabilizing the situation in the country. Under such circumstances, the new Indian government is unlikely to be ruthless against American companies, and even needs the help of American companies, because after all, the condition for stabilizing domestic order is to restore economic vitality. Make the social economy unfold according to the normal situation. After the end of the war, India was left to rebuild its economic base from the ashes, and the huge amount of investment required was beyond our means. What's more. India's population and land area are far away from Japan, and it will certainly be much more difficult to rebuild after the war than Japan. Under these circumstances, it is very likely that the new Indian government will be biased in policy towards the United States, posing a serious threat to our interests. ”

Wang Yuanqing picked up the cigarette and did not hurry to speak.

Yan Shanglong glanced at Yuan and said: "The impact is not only the United States, India's post-war reconstruction is the biggest piece of cake in the world in recent years, no country will give up a huge market with a population of 1.7 billion, and no country's enterprises are willing to sit by." If they make concessions on the issue of American companies, it will be tantamount to allowing companies from Europe, Russia, Brazil, South Africa and other countries to see the opportunity to enter the Indian market. While I have enough confidence in our national enterprises, we must provide strong policy support in order to reap tangible benefits from this war, rather than creating jobs for Western countries. ”

"You mean, you can't let it go."

"You can't let it go."

"You do have a point." Wang Yuanqing nodded. "At the end of the day, it's not whether we want to control India, it's what kind of India we need. To be precise, it is an India with a high concentration of power, or a pound. India decided by the Indians. ”

Yan Shanglong frowned slightly, and heard the sound of Yuan's words.

"There is no doubt that the vast majority of people are willing to choose the former, because only in this way can we allow India to develop as we want and maximize the benefits. To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I also had this idea, after all, we sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers and invested 10 trillion yuan in war funds, which is certainly not to help India enter a civilized society, but to maximize the benefits. Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and said, "Is it really in our actual interests to have a highly centralized India?" In the short term, it is true that a market of 1.7 billion people is enough to feed all of our factories and hundreds of millions of workers.

The question is. How long will this India last, 10 years, 20 years, or 50 years? If we take a long-term view, we will find that no force can stop the power of 1.7 billion people to pursue freedom, democracy, equality, and happiness, and no other country can do it, and neither can we. Sooner or later, India will break free from our control and embark on the path of revival again. There is no doubt that India will surely be revived, and it will become a country like us. Facing such a future. What should we do? The high concentration of power will only allow India to be controlled by nationalist ambitions again. Reduced to a tool of certain careerists and interests. Once again, a serious threat to us. Maybe. That will be 50 or even 100 years from now, and it will not be much of a laugh with our current government. The question is, will we be able to easily defeat India again in 50 or 100 years? I can't answer that question. I believe that no one will be able to answer this question, because just fifty years ago, no one believed that we could become a country at the beginning of the twenty-first century, a country that is the most powerful in the world. ”

Ran Shanglong sighed, knowing Yuan's deep meaning.

Took a sip of water. Wang Yuanqing continued: "Although I handed over the power of the war to Xiang Linghui and let Pei Chengyi take full charge of the front-line operations, after the war broke out, I have been paying close attention to the situation on the front. It is undeniable that our army fought very well, its commanders were well arranged, its officers and men fought bravely, and its equipment was advanced and powerful, and our army's combat effectiveness was far beyond anyone could imagine, but we also cannot deny that our army was able to achieve such a tremendous victory in such a short period of time, and even far exceeded our pre-war expectations, and the Indian people's non-resistance sentiment played an extremely important role. In other words. If Rurajapani is able to stir up the resistance of the Indians, even if only 10% of the Indians take up arms and engage our army, I am afraid that we will not only not be able to achieve the present brilliant victory, but will also be very likely to withdraw our troops from India in the most unacceptable way. Here's the problem. Why is the vast majority of Indians reluctant to resist? ”

Yan Shanglong frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Wang Yuanqing meant.

"It's obvious. Because Indians don't love their government. Even hated their government very much. Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Why do Indians hate their government? Because the government, which is controlled by interest groups, has become the enemy of Indians, the obstacle to their freedom, small democracy, equality and happiness, and the biggest obstacle. Such a government is simply impossible to win the support of the people, and it is impossible to protect the people. On the other hand, even without this war, it will not be long before India becomes increasingly hostile to internal contradictions, and as a careerist emerges, India will once again be dominated by nationalist sentiments, and the Indian government will still be doomed. We will pay an even greater price. In other words, if there is a highly centralized central government in India after the war, even if this government does everything in its power to defend our interests, because it runs counter to the needs of the Indian people, it will eventually be used by a careerist and overthrown by the angry Indian people. Let India once again be a big problem on our minds. ”

Yan Shanglong was secretly shocked and had to admire Wang Yuanqing's strategic vision.

"Let's think about things differently, and still start that thing. That is, why don't the Indians stand up and resist. Wang Yuanqing lit a second cigarette. Said. "The reason is simple: the vast majority of Indians believe that their lives are too bad to be worse, and that the upheaval will not cost them anything, but may benefit them. In other words, Indians in a wait-and-see state need a hope, a pound, so that they can pursue the hope of freedom, democracy, equality and happiness according to their own wishes. Imagine if the new government had not given hope to the Indians, and the result would have been as good as it had been in India's national culture. "And with the economic opening, most Indians will be content to get back to living a subsistence life." But the discontent in the hearts of the Indians had already set the stage for the next war a few years later, and as the discontent grew, no one could prevent the eventual explosion. ”

"In other words, we can only let the Indians decide the future of India."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said: "Only in this way can Indians pursue what they want according to their wishes, resolve the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Indians, and make them support and support the new regime from the bottom of their hearts." That's the only way to go. in order to resolve the contradictions between us and India. Let the world's two largest nations put aside their past grievances and work together to create a better future. Even from a practical point of view, doing so will allow our soldiers to go home with their relatives as soon as possible. We should reduce our war expenditures and bring our country's social and economic development back to the normal track as soon as possible. Back to the original question, that is, how to deal with the assets of American companies in India. I find the advice of Lin Yanbo and Li Chengwen very valuable. Since the reform, we have been working hard to promote marketization. It took several years to regularize economic construction and transform the ruling government into a service-oriented government. We have paid for this for generations. Post-war India is actually a blank sheet of paper, and how to sketch a scene that is most in line with our interests on this blank sheet of paper is not only our responsibility, but also our national entrepreneurs and national capitalists

Yan Shanglong nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Yuanqing meant.

"Although some things may seem wonderful, we must not be fooled by the immediate interests and ignore the long-term interests that have a greater impact on the country and the nation." Wang Yuanqing paused slightly and said. "My opinion is that negotiations with the United States should be launched as soon as possible, not just at the government level. It is also necessary to use the power of the people. We don't just want to vouch for the new regime in India. It is also necessary to provide guarantees for our national enterprises. ”

"The problem is, U.S. companies aren't necessarily going to say yes."

"Really?" Wang Yuanqing smiled.

Yan Shanglong frowned slightly, and did not hurry to speak.

"Before talking to Lin Yanbo and Li Chengwen; I am also worried that American companies will not give up a huge market with a population of 1.7 billion and the potential to be the largest in the world, but I now think that the problem is not as complicated as I thought. Wang Yuanqing glanced at Yan Shanglong and said. The issues that we started to talk about were not just our problems, but actually the issues that the U.S. government and American businesses had to consider. Imagine if American corporations believed that the new Indian regime would confiscate all foreign assets after the war, would they still remain in India? Even if we take 10,000 steps back, the new Indian regime will not adopt such extreme policies, especially with our intervention, the new Indian regime will treat foreign companies with a more moderate attitude, but in the case of us dominating Indian politics. There is another question that U.S. companies will certainly be looking at, which is whether they can outcompete our companies in the Indian market. If the answer is no, American companies will have no choice but to cut their love and withdraw from India. Even if it's 10,000 steps back. U.S. companies are competitive enough to not be hit by India's new government policies. India has been reduced to ruins in the war, and post-war reconstruction brings not only business opportunities, but also social responsibility, American companies must pay a high price for India's reconstruction, with the American concept that it is not profitable, will they be willing to pay? Considering the social values of post-war India, the best option for American companies is to find someone to take over as soon as possible, leave India with the benefits already in hand, and hand over post-war reconstruction to someone else. Wait until India's socio-economic return to normal. Then enter the Indian market and enjoy the benefits. ”

"The question is. We have to pay a big price. ”

"It won't cost much, and American businesses have no other choice. According to Lin Yanbo's judgment, in recent years. American companies have already reaped trillions of dollars in profits in India, reaping profits several times over. More importantly, only China's national enterprises can take over the industries of American enterprises in India. If US companies refuse to budge, hundreds of billions of dollars will rot in India, and only by making concessions can we reap the benefits. Of course, if American companies are willing to give in, our national enterprises can also benefit from this and reduce their later investment. For both parties, only cooperation can reap the benefits. ”

Yan Shanglong let out a long breath and didn't say anything more.

Deliveries. He is an expert, and in the economy, Hun Shanglong has little to say.

"The negotiation is still your sole responsibility, find Lin Yanbo and Li Chengwen as soon as possible to have a good talk, they are contacting powerful entrepreneurs in China, ready to go to India for group buying."

"Group buying?" Yan Shanglong was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"There is only one issue that must be taken seriously, and that is that as a government official, we must support our business in any situation, and not let our business suffer for the sake of so-called diplomatic interests or face problems."

"I know. Wait a minute, I'll go to Lin Yanbo and Li Chengwen. Arrange the relevant work as soon as possible. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Yuan had the intention of sending off guests, Yan Shanglong did not delay much. Immediately get up and take your leave.

After Yan Shanglong left for a while, Wang Yuanqing gave Xiang Linghui an order to start attacking India's nuclear forces.
