Chapter 141: Highest Level Warning
Although no one wants to take the fact of the defeat of Army Group Bhopal. But India's Dangchuan Ichihiro does not face the cruel truth.
Rurajapani did not reproach Gujarad. Because the problem was not with Gujarad, he just asked what to do next, how to stop the progress of the squadron.
Gujarad did not give a clear answer. No one was able to give a clear answer.
When the military conference was convened, the army generals who had previously resolutely opposed the relocation of the capital collectively defected, and even Gujarad acquiesced in the proposal to move the capital. The Fatahpur Army Group and the Bhopal Army Group were all wiped out, and there was no way to fight back Fatahpur, let alone keep Allahbad, and it was only a matter of time before they retreated to Kanpur. Because the breakthrough is too big. So the northern line of defense has existed in name only. Although Gujarad proposed to build a new northern defense line at Kanpur, not to mention that the other generals did not think it would work, even he himself did not see any viability. Kanpur is located in the southeast of New Delhi, and Zhanxi, which is located in the south of New Delhi, has been lost, and even if Kanpur is held, it will not be able to stop the pace of the squadron going north.
At the meeting, everyone was discussing the defense of New Delhi and the matter of moving the capital.
Although no one objected to the relocation of the capital, the army generals represented by Gujarad and the navy and air force generals represented by Fernandez once again had serious differences over whether to hold on to New Delhi. In Gujarat's words, even if there is no hope of holding New Delhi, New Delhi is the capital of India and must not be surrendered to the enemy. Fernandes is adamantly opposed to holding on to New Delhi for good reason. That is, the Indian army's strength is not sufficient, and the war mobilization has not yet been fully completed, so instead of wasting precious military resources in New Delhi, it is better to put the troops used to defend New Delhi on the southern defense line to defend the more important southern areas.
The two most influential generals disagreed, and the generals of the two factions naturally took advantage of the topic.
In the end, nothing came out. In desperation, Rurajapani had to make two preparations, leaving Gujarad in charge of the defense of New Delhi and Fernandez in charge of the preparations for moving the capital.
By the end of the meeting, the sky had lit up over New Delhi.
Seeing the city outside the window, Rurajapani felt more tired than ever, not physically, but mentally.
Back in the years ago, when all Indians were going crazy in the midst of nationalism. Rurajapani clearly understands that if India wants to become a world power, it absolutely cannot confront China, or even have irreconcilable spearhead with China. At that time, Rurajapani advocated settling territorial disputes with China through negotiations, and could even make appropriate concessions on territorial issues. As long as it can save the face of the Indian government and give the Indian government a reason sufficient to explain to the voters, even if it loses some territory, it will resolve the territorial dispute with China as soon as possible. On the economic front, Rurajapani is a firm advocate of cooperation with China to build a "China-India dual economy" to take advantage of China's huge demand for overseas markets, overseas resources, overseas labor and primary product production areas, so that India's economy can get on the fast track. These propositions do not mean that Rurajapani has abandoned the political ideal of becoming a world power unlike other Indians, but that Rurajapani is smarter and sees more clearly. India wants to become a world power. First of all, it must become a big country in economy, manufacturing, science and technology, and culture. Finally, there are the military powers that are built on these foundations. Without a solid foundation, even if India relies on imports, imitations, and production lines to obtain advanced weapons from all over the world and build up a first-class armed force, India will not be able to stand the slightest test of its image as a great power. After the war with Japan, India embarked on the wrong path. After the conflict in southern Tibet, India made even more mistakes and irretrievably went to a fiasco.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and as a politician, Rurajapani does not know what regret is.
He has done enough, he has dedicated his life to India, and he has done everything he can. Regardless of the outcome, the hundreds of millions of Indians will not perish, and neither will the nation of India.
After the disaster, the surviving Indians will gradually forget the pain of the war and return to the struggle for a living. When the time comes, perhaps no one will remember the prime minister who tried to lead India on the right path, but was ultimately defeated.
Compared with the vitality of the nation, the vitality of the individual seems so small.
When the secretary brought in early, Rurajapani's mood gradually calmed down.
"Chancellor, Colonel Stark is here, saying he has something important and wants to meet with you right away
Rurajapani frowned slightly. Putting down the coffee cup, he motioned for the secretary to bring Stark in.
Although several military proposals from US advisers have not yielded results, they have even been unhelpful. But Rurajapani knows very well that it is not that the ability of the US advisers is not enough, but that the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is too low. If the Indian army could have half the strength of the US army, the situation on the battlefield would be completely different.
When Stark followed the secretary to the door of the Chancellor's study, he was immediately stopped by two officers of the Guard.
Unlike ever, Stark wasn't empty-handed. Brought a safe.
Hearing the quarrel outside, Rurajapani went to open the door himself.
"Prime Minister,"
Seeing the box in Stark's hand, Rurajapani knew what was wrong. "It's fine. Go back to work, Tucker is my friend. ”
See the Prime Minister and mouth. The two officers flashed to the side.
Rurajapani nodded at Stark, put
"Prime Minister, I'm really sorry, if it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't have caused you trouble."
"That must be a valuable instrument in there, right?" Rurajapani glanced at the safe with a high-level security lock.
Stark nodded, placing the safe on his lap, comparing fingerprints to iris, then voiceprints, and finally entering a password.
When the safe was opened, Stark said, "This is a confidential communication device, and this time I have not come to see His Excellency the Prime Minister, but General Dudgway wants to meet Your Excellency." ”
"Interview?" Rurajapani frowned.
Stark nodded, placed the safe on the coffee table, and pressed the red color in the lower left corner.
After a flash of light, a three-dimensional image of multiple lasers interfering with each other appeared above the safe, and a short time later, a middle-aged man wearing a Marine uniform appeared in the frame.
"General Dudgway. I'm in the Prime Minister's Office. ”
"See, Your Excellency, Prime Minister."
"Hello General." Rurajapani said politely.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I shouldn't have bothered you, but there are some things that I think should be discussed directly with you."
Rurajapani nodded, indicating that he understood what Duchway meant. According to the agreement between the United States and India, the military advice provided by the United States can only be sent to Fernandez and Gujarad, and the military advisers cannot directly make suggestions to the prime minister. Stark is an exception, but all the time. Duchway could only contact Gujarad directly. To contact Rurajapani, he had to ask Stark to take the talk.
"Just started, I contacted General Gujarad! I heard that your army is actively preparing for the defensive battle of New Delhi. ”
"That's true, and we're ready to move the capital."
Du Qiwei nodded and said, "It's not wrong to prepare for moving the capital as soon as possible, because I also think that your army has lost the opportunity to hold New Delhi." Of course, I was a little too direct. Please don't mind. ”
"Of course, I've heard a lot of that."
Du Qiwei smiled bitterly and said: "I understand Your Excellency's thoughts very well, although New Delhi will fall sooner or later, but your government and your ** team must not easily give up New Delhi, only by swearing to defend New Delhi can you arouse the enthusiasm of your ** people and the people to resist the war." What's more. If the squadron uses the method of dealing with Calcutta against New Delhi, it will certainly be strongly condemned by the international community and turn the international situation that was originally favorable to China will be reversed. If the squadron uses traditional New Delhi, I believe that your army will be able to fight a turnaround battle in New Delhi. If your country can actively prepare for and benefit from the defense of New Delhi, it may even turn the tide of the war here. ”
"Turn the tide of battle?"
"Let the squadron have to consider ending the large-scale military operation early after paying a heavy price in casualties."
Rurajapani was stunned for a moment, then showed a bitter smile. The "twist" that Duchway said was not at all the same thing as the "twist" he thought, even if, as Duchway said, it could cause a lot of casualties to the squadron in New Delhi. New Delhi will also be in ruins in the flames of war.
exchanging a capital for a country should be a very good deal to buy a concubine.
"Your Excellency, what I'm talking about is not the Battle of New Delhi."
"That's it
"When I was talking to General Gujarad. I emphasized that there are huge holes in the deployment of your army. Or rather, your army has a very fatal loophole. ”
Rurajapani immediately frowned, and until now, Duchway's judgment had not been wrong.
"Your army attaches great importance to the defense of New Delhi. Originally, there was nothing to blame, but I would like to remind your army that Bhopal is more important than New Delhi. If you lose New Delhi, your army can continue to resist, and if you lose Bhopal, even if your country moves its capital immediately, it will be difficult to turn the tide of the war. It is a pity that General Gujarad does not see Bhopal as threatened. Of course, I am not saying that General Gujarad was wrong in his judgment, in fact, the hand strength of the Chinese general was really not able to threaten the main forces in Bhopal. After this battle was fought, Pei Chengyi had very few troops in his hands, and he could not even forcibly capture Allahabad, so he could only make Allahabad defenders surrender through siege. But don't forget that if China can get the rebel forces protecting Bangladesh to attack Kolkata, it can attack Bhopal with the Bi forces deployed in Nepal. It is very regrettable that although I have repeatedly stressed that Pei Chengyi will send troops into India to participate in the war, General Gujarad does not accept my statement and does not intend to take targeted defensive measures. ”
"Do you have enough evidence?" Rurajapani paused slightly and said, "What I'm talking about is whether you have any evidence that the Bi army is about to enter India to fight. ”
"In fact, the Nu army has been supporting the combat units on the front line, and its two artillery brigades have never stopped. Although I have not yet received conclusive information, do not ignore the squadron's battlefield transfer capabilities, and do not forget that there is no longer a main force in Bhopal. If Pei Chengyi plans to use He's army, he will capture Edavo today, tomorrow at the latest. With the gill army's battlefield maneuverability. As well as the railway lines of communication controlled by the squadron. Within two days, the Nu army would be able to reach Edava. Then it took twenty-four hours to complete the preparations for the attack. During this period, your army increased to Bhopal by up to three second-line infantry divisions, bringing the defensive force to six divisions. The combat effectiveness of the gills army was not under the correction army, and counting the artillery deployed in the surrounding area, it was almost difficult to defeat six second-line divisions. "In other words, we have to appeal to Bopa immediately. ”
"No, there must be no more troops." ”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the main task of the Nu Army is to protect Nepal's homeland security, which is the commitment of the Chinese government to the Nepalese government. At the beginning, the army was able to enter India to participate in the war, and the premise was that your army could not pose a threat to Bangladesh, otherwise the Chinese government would not let Pei Chengyi mobilize the concave army. The best way to hold Bhopal is not to increase troops, but to try to contain the He army, so that Pei Chengyi cannot use this main heavy armored army as he wants. ”
Rurajapani frowned and said, "You mean, we send troops to attack Nepal?" ”
"There is no doubt that it is."
Rurajapani nodded slightly, not in a hurry.
The attack on Nepal is not a military issue, but a political one.
Although Nepal has declared war on India at the "instigation" of China, it has been fighting at this time. Nepal did not send troops to combat operations. Not even troops were sent to defend the occupied area for the squadron. It's just to open up the territory and allow the squadron and war materiel to cross into India. Other words. Nepal did not invade India with real actions. Since the war reached India, the Chinese government has made the international community unable to blame India on the grounds that it poses a threat to neighboring countries. At the beginning, the Western Army Corps of the First Army of the Eastern Army Group was routed by the squadron, and some of the scattered troops fled into Nepal, allowing China to drag Nepal into the water and obtain several strategic transportation routes. If India sends troops to Nepal again. And what are the consequences of sending troops in Nepal without actual war action?
"Your Excellency, I understand your concerns very well. It's just that your country must not lose Bhopal. ”
"Isn't there any other solution?"
"I was so sad that I thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a better solution. It's not that I look down on your army, but compared to China, your army's combat effectiveness is really too poor, and Pei Chengyi will act soon, and he won't leave too much time for your army to increase troops in Bhopal. With all due respect, with the combat strength of your army and the deployment of troops near Bhopal, even if your army acts as quickly as possible, it will at most cause a little trouble for the Bi army and delay the fall of Bhopal. What's more, if the battle of Bhopal drags on for a few days, and by the time the rest of the squadron's field armies are finished, it will not only be the Umno Army that will attack Bhopal. In the way of Pei Chengyi's command. He will definitely send other troops up. Until the laying of Bhopal. ”
"According to what you say, even if the witch army is dragged. Bhopal will still fall. ”
"Of course not, it doesn't matter whether or not you are attacked by the Bi army.
If your army has a few days, you will be able to improve the defense system of Bhopal, you will be able to deploy more troops, and you will even be able to get a few main divisions. With a complete defense system, sufficient troops, and improved combat effectiveness, even if Pei Chengyi still has the will to attack Bhopal. You have to think twice. Even if he sent his army to attack Bhopal. Your army will also be able to accomplish the feat planned in New Delhi in Bhopal, turning Bhopal into a cemetery for the best people. ”
Rurajapani's brow jumped a few times, and Dudgway's last words hit the point.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about it. Nepal has declared war on your country, and although you have not yet declared war on Nepal, according to international norms, you have the right to strike back against an enemy country in a state of hostilities. Besides. Your army can control the scale of cross-border operations, create panic in Nepal about the coming war, and let the Nepalese government catch the Nu army without investing much troops. It will also not have much impact on the defensive battle of New Delhi. This, of course, will contain the army in the eastern part of New Delhi. The problem is that even if your army does not take the initiative to attack, when the decisive battle on the eastern front is over and the squadron transfers the main force to the western front, Pei Chengyi will definitely let the Wu army come out of Nepal, just like using the concave army to attack New Delhi with the Nu army. In other words, your army still has to strengthen the defenses in the eastern part of New Delhi. ”
"Are you sure you'll be able to hold back the wronged army?"
"There is no doubt about it."
Rurajapani pondered for a moment. "You're right, you can't lose Bhopal, at least not at this time, but I need to think about it," he said. ”
"Your Excellency, the sooner you make a decision. The more beneficial it is to your country, the more the enemy will not stop at us because of our hesitation. ”
"Your Excellency, the general is right." Stark said as he glanced at Dudgway on the screen, "Whatever. Time should not be wasted at this time. ”
"I'll make a decision as soon as possible. Gujarad will also be contacted as soon as possible. ”
"In that case, if you need anything, you can contact Colonel Stark at any time, and we will do our best to help."
Seeing that Rurajapani no longer wanted to talk about it, Duchway ended the call. Stark put away the telegraph, said goodbye to Rurajapani, and left the Chancellery.
Rurajapani is not unaware of the urgency of the situation, nor is it a concubine who does not know the time.
Immediately after Stark left, Rurajapani called Gugaurad and asked the Army Command to immediately send troops stationed in the western border region of Indonesia to attack Nepal.
In any case, Dudgway and Stark are outsiders, and it is impossible for Rurajapani to make decisions in front of outsiders.
