※After Chengyi and Xiang Linghui sat down, Wang Xiqing first inquired about the front-line Qingzhouhong※

Pei Chengyi had been mentally prepared for a long time, and when he introduced the situation, he focused on the state of the front-line troops. Although Pei Chengyi did not directly say the problem of rest, the meaning was very clear. The troops are not in good shape, they definitely need to rest, and it is enough to rest.

"I've been following the situation on the front lines, and the units are doing very well." Wang Yuanqing changed his words and said, "It's just that we can't afford it, and we can't wait." By the time you returned, the United States, together with the European Union, Canada, Australia, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, and other countries, had put pressure on us to immediately stop large-scale military operations and enter into peace talks with India. ”

Pei Chengyi's brows jumped a few times, and he heard the overtones of Yuan's words.

"What the United States wants to do, what the European Union wants to do, and what other countries want to do, it is Sima Zhao's heart." Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly. "The war has come to this point, and it is only a matter of time before India is defeated. Not to mention the fact that the United States has promised not to provide military assistance to India again, even if the United States backtracks and even the European Union joins, India will be defeated, and it will be defeated in the near future. ”

"The EU is siding with the United States at this time, just to get some benefits."

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and said: "That can be said, but the question is to see what benefits the six EU can get from two catties." Or what benefits does the EU need?

"The past 20 years have been 20 years of great changes in the world pattern, and the pattern of global competition has been formed. The so-called "three" are China, the United States and Europe. The EU is the weakest. It's not that the EU is not as strong as ours and the United States, it's that the EU is not united and has not achieved unity. The EU does not lack the basic strength to become a class power, whether it is population, land, resources, science and technology, or culture, the EU has enough capital to become a class power like us and the United States.

"What the EU lacks is a unified political system, which is the ultimate goal of political integration in France, Germany and Italy. No doubt. Even if the EU is politically integrated tomorrow. In the next 30 years, the EU will still not have the ability to compete with us and the United States for world hegemony. From political integration to final reunification, it may seem like only one step, but in reality it will take at least a generation.

"The question is. In a few years, will there still be a place for the EU on the international stage? The United States has been dominating for 100 years. Although some people believe that the empires that have dominated the world in history have a life span of more than 100 years, for example, Britain has dominated for more than 200 years, and Spain before Britain has also dominated for more than 200 years. It is the progress of productivity, and it can even be said to be the most basic technology that promotes the development of human society, that is, the progress of energy and power technology. The Industrial Revolution created Britain's illustrious history, while the rise of the internal combustion engine led to America's achievements. A new round of dynamic revolution has begun. And it has already had an impact on human society. The United States has not once again been the frontrunner in technology, but a catch-up. Within 50 years, the history of US world hegemony will come to an end, and the history of mankind will enter a new chapter

"In thirty years' time, the world situation will remain volatile. There will be subtle changes in our relations with the United States, and at least in the strategic game, the offensive and defensive relations will be reversed in an all-round way. That is, the likelihood of a direct confrontation with the United States has increased significantly! While the likelihood of all-out war is still very slim, the likelihood of indirect war through third life is much higher. Where does the EU go from here in this situation?

In other words, if the EU wants to have more voice and influence in the future. The EU must first complete political integration and achieve reunification as soon as possible on the basis of economic, military, diplomatic, and political integration, so that Europe can become a world power that can stand shoulder to shoulder with us and the United States. Only in this way can the interests of Europe and Europeans be fundamentally safeguarded. And not as a buffer zone for our game with the United States.

"By wielding influence in India, France, Germany and Italy can show the other EU member states that only a united and strong Europe can be respected and the interests of the whole of Europe can be safeguarded. It also convinces other member states that France, Germany and Italy are capable of defending the EU's interests. Benefits for the entire European Union. As long as the territory of France and Germany in the EU is improved and consolidated. It will speed up the advancement of political integration.

"In 30 years, if the EU still fails to achieve unity, it will lose the opportunity to participate in the global game. Even if the status of a world power is recognized with its strong basic strength, it will once again become a vassal of the United States, serving the United States instead of fighting for its own interests. Arguably, the EU has little choice. If this opportunity is missed, the EU will not be able to achieve political integration in a few years, and it will not be possible to achieve reunification in 30 years. ”

Xiang Linghui frowned and said, "In this case, why should the United States win over Europe."

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and then at Pei Chengyi.

Pei Chengyi smiled and didn't speak, because this was not a question that should be answered by him.

"The United States also has no choice." Wang Yuanqing took the cigarette handed by Xiang Linghui and said, "As far as the United States is concerned, the top priority is to deal with us. And not against the EU.

No doubt. The United States will certainly prevent the reunification of the European Union, because the unified European states will no longer obey the United States. At the cost of being alone with us, the great powers must have a powerful ally. The EU is the ideal option, and as long as the EU joins forces with the US, we will have to make concessions. To this end, the United States will first woo the EU and promise to share its interests with the EU. But don't forget the famous saying of an Englishman that there is no eternal friend, no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. The gradual move towards a unified EU is already a threat to the United States, and a unified EU will certainly pose too much of a threat to the United States. For the United States. We and the EU are effectively a multiple-choice question with a precedence.

If we can't defeat us, the United States will soon become a regional power. As for the European Union, there are still thirty years left for the United States to use, and there is no rush for a while. ”

"That is, we have to make concessions in India."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "I have asked Yan Shanglong to deal with this matter, and a high-level meeting at the foreign minister-level will be held soon, and if everything goes well, a meeting between Yuan's and the government's brain-level leaders will be held eventually." ”

"Will negotiation solve the problem?" Xiang Linghui smiled and shook his head.

"Negotiations can solve the problem, is there still a war in the world?" Wang Yuanqing asked rhetorically and said, "In fact, not only the United States and the European Union are staring at India, but also regional powers such as Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia also want a piece of the pie. The steel needed for India's post-war reconstruction could last a few major iron miners for more than a decade. Russia, the world's largest exporter of raw materials, is also eyeing India's post-war reconstruction market. South Africa is expanding its influence on the basis of the Southern African Union. As a country bordering the Indian Ocean, if it can do something about India, it will certainly increase South Africa's influence in East Africa. All in all, the world knows that India will be a powerful driver of economic growth, and no one wants to miss this opportunity. It is precisely because of this that during the war, these countries remained silent. ”

"We contribute to the people, but they share in the benefits,"

"There is no fairness in these circles, especially in the national game, there is no fairness at all." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and said, "We will contribute." It also dominates. How to divide up India's post-war interests, the United States does not count, the EU does not count, we have to say it. In fact. The United States, the European Union, and other countries understand this, otherwise they would not have negotiated with us in a group, rather than unilaterally with us. ”

Xiang Linghui smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.

"Although the situation is under our control, as more and more countries join, we cannot be the enemy of the whole world, and therefore we cannot always dominate the negotiations. The only way is to end the war as soon as possible, and to end it cleanly, without giving other countries a chance to intervene. Wang Yuanqing paused slightly and said, "The provisional government of India has been established. Only by letting the Indians run India can we move from the front to the back of the stage and avoid tearing our faces at the negotiating table with too many countries. ”

Seeing Yuan turn his gaze, Pei Chengyi said: "I also understand this truth, but the situation of the troops is really not optimistic, even if all the preparations are carried out quickly, a new round of offensive can only be started at the end of October at the earliest." ”

Wang Yuanqing didn't speak, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's answer.

"First, there is the issue of the rest and recuperation of the troops." Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "The problem of the ground combat forces is not very big, and they can recover their combat effectiveness in ten to fifteen days, mainly in the air forces." According to the results of the Air Force's investigation, in the previous stage of combat operations, the losses caused by the accident had already exceeded the combat losses, and nearly two hundred pilots were killed in the accident, while less than one hundred and fifty pilots were killed in the battle. What's more. The Air Force and Army Aviation have been fully mobilized, and the combat units are in sharp formations in turn, and there is a general lack of maintenance and maintenance. If the fight continues with the intensity of the front, I am afraid that before the war ends, all combat planes of the Air Force and the Army Aviation will have to be grounded, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while, and said to Xiang Linghui: "You go to Ye Zhisheng, and the Ministry of Defense will come forward and ask the major equipment manufacturers to provide assistance and send technicians to the grassroots troops." I will also greet Ye Zhisheng, whoever contributes the most in the war will have a greater chance of getting a new military order. ”

"The Ministry of Defense has been contacted and is being processed."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and looked at Pei Chengyi.

"The second problem is that the front extends to the south, and the logistics cannot keep up."

"Haven't you already captured Surat and Visakhapatnam?" Wang Yuanqing immediately asked.

"Logistics support is not just about transporting materials, it is not so simple, Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said." In the previous stage, the main support forces of our army were deployed in the country, especially in the Shannan district. Support forces have also been deployed in Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. Hyderabad is about 1,600 kilometers away from the nearest domestic air base, and about 1,400 kilometers away from the overseas air base. If we were to attack places like Bangalore, or even further south in Thiruvananthapuram, we would have to deploy combat aircraft at the front. That is, the Air Force needs forward bases. Work has begun on the repair of the Indian air base, but the bombardment was too heavy in the early stage. The engineering forces also had to repair the railways and roads, so the first air bases could only be repaired by the end of October at the earliest. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly,

"We have already thought of ways to put the Bangladeshi garrison in charge of repairing several bases in the rear, using part of the labor force in the local area, and so on, without these helps. It is feared that it will not be until the end of November that an air base sufficient to deploy the 1,500 combat aircraft needed for the next round of offensive operations will be obtained. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "That is to say." The offensive can only be started at the end of October at the earliest. ”

"That's the best thing to come out of nowhere, if the preparation isn't in place. I'm afraid we'll have to drag it out a bit

"Whether at the end of October or at the beginning of November, I only need one result, and that is, can the large-scale military operation be ended by the end of the year? In other words. Is there any certainty that the Hyderabad regime will be eradicated by the end of the year? ”

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and did not hurry to speak.

"All kinds of preparations will definitely be in place, and the abandonment guarantee will definitely be in place. If there is a need for thugs, I will personally be your logistics team leader. ”

"Meta. You don't have to worry about that."

Wang Yuanqing suppressed Xiang Linghui's words and turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi.

"The capture of Hyderabad is not a problem in the east"

"It's not just about capturing Hyderabad but it's about the whole of India. Complete eradication of the regime in Hyderabad. Other words. In addition to the capture of Hyderabad, it also captured large cities in southern India, including Bangalore, and even pushed the front to the southern tip of the Indian peninsula. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and said: "In this case, the pressure is very high, and the demand for logistics support must be far greater than previously expected." ”

"I said it. Logistics is not a problem, I just want to know, do you have the ability to do it.

Pei Chengyi let out a long breath, nodded, and said: "As long as there are no problems with logistics support, I am confident enough to occupy the whole of India and end large-scale military operations within the year." ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded with a smile and said, "This is what you said." ”

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"What I said definitely counts, if you have any questions, you can find Xiang Linghui, or you can find me directly.

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Xiang Linghui and said to Pei Chengyi, "Although I can't give you much help in combat operations, all the logistics support needed by the army to fight will be guaranteed." Whatever you do, you must fight this war within the year so that our frontline soldiers can return home to their loved ones. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded a little and said, "I'll go back and arrange the relevant work as soon as possible." ”

"No problem. Again, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly. ”

After sending Pei Chengyi and Xiang Linghui away, Wang Yuanqing called Yan Shanglong, who had already set off for Ma Deyao.

Although many countries, including the Republic, Pakistan, Nepal, Sikkim, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, have recognized the legitimacy of the New Delhi regime and formally established diplomatic relations with the New Delhi regime, Western countries such as the United States still recognize the Hyderabad regime as India's legitimate regime and have not recognized the New Delhi regime, and insist that the republic not interfere in India's internal affairs, immediately end military operations, withdraw troops from India as soon as possible, and hold democratic elections in India.

Someone asks, someone responds.

As proposed by the republics, the United States, the European Union, Russia. First, a meeting at the level of foreign ministers will be held in Madrid. Although the United States has repeatedly insisted that India be allowed to participate in the negotiations, the Republic believes that India should not be allowed to participate in the negotiations, citing the fact that the Indian regime has not been determined. In the end, the New Delhi regime and the Hyderabad regime only sent representatives to observe the whole process, and did not have the right to speak.

After the negotiation model was decided, some Western news media exclaimed that the Madrid negotiations would become the second Munich negotiations in history, but it was not Czechoslovakia but India that was put on the chopping block.

Is that really the case?

Actually, no one cares about the facts at all.

The countries participating in the negotiations are concerned about only one thing, that is, India will be a pound after the end of the war. What kind of India.

No doubt. Negotiations that will affect hundreds of millions of people will not be solved by foreign ministers. According to the results of the discussions between Wang Yuanqing and Brandino on the hotline, after the foreign minister-level talks have reached agreement on the main issues, the Yuanqing-level talks will be held at the right time and place to finally decide what kind of India will be after the war.

Negotiations are a war without gunpowder, and no one knows how long this war will last.

On the way back to Tijirabad, Pei Chengyi was not happy at all, because the war under his command would soon end, and he was not too sure.

Even if all goes well, a new offensive will start at the end of October in just two months.

Although many people believe that the Republican ** team can occupy most of the catty in less than two months. India will certainly be able to occupy the other third of India in two months. But this argument simply does not hold water. Because the further the war goes, the more difficult it is to advance. It was not the Indian army that stopped the advance of the republican army, but walked through a long front and an overly large occupied area. The early stage is going well. It was because the republican ** team did not carry the burden of the occupied zone. As the occupied zone expands, not only the number of troops will be limited, but also the war materiel.

How to fight the next battle, Pei Chengyi really doesn't have much certainty.
