Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 33 Two Sides and Three Swords

After Youguo's official visit to India in 20111, Wang Yuanqing was the official visitor to the Republic of China. Although the outside world is not optimistic about Wang Yuanqing's visit to New Delhi, the global news media still focus on New Delhi, and India's national television station also mentioned in the report that Wang Yuanqing, who visited New Delhi with Ji Youguo as an assistant to the Yuan Xi 16 years ago, has made significant contributions to promoting bilateral exchanges and deepening bilateral friendship.

On the morning of 3 October, Indian President Reichenbal greeted Wang Yuanqing at the "Gandhi Nehru International Airport" in New Delhi at the highest standard, and accompanied Wang Yuanqing to inspect the guard of honor of the three Indian services.

Because India practices the "parliamentary prime minister system," the prime minister elected by the parliamentary majority party or a coalition of majority parties holds the executive power of the country, and the president is only the nominal head of state, so the meeting between Wang Yuanqing and Reichenbar is just a formality, and the outside world pays more attention to Wang Yuanqing's formal meeting with Indian Prime Minister Rurajapani.

In Indian politics, Rurajapani can be regarded as a "mythical" figure.

During Santos's administration, Rurajapani, who was still a member of the National Assembly, took a clear-cut stand against Santos's radical policy of provoking Pakistan and China, believing that India should be a big country with "independent views", develop its national economy and revitalize its national industry, instead of blindly relying on the help of Western countries to dominate South Asia.

After Santos's assassination, the big party was left without a large number of people, losing two elections in a row. During this period, Rurajapani briefly left politics and returned to his hometown of Bangalore to run the family business wholeheartedlyThe Rurajapani family is an emerging Indian industrial family, mainly dealing in information software, electronics, automobiles, steel and tourism. In 20199, Rurajapani was re-elected to the National Assembly and returned to New Delhi to become a senior member of the Central Committee of the Congress Party.

According to the news media, Rapani was able to lead the Congress party to victory in 2019. In fact, instead of carrying the burden, he chose to avoid it. It was not until 2C23 that Rajapani challenged the BJP as president of the Congress Party, defeating the BJP in the general election and reaching the pinnacle of his political career.

In India's eyes, Rurajapani is not only the leader of the Congress Party's revival, but also the leader of India's revival.

I have to admit that Rurajapani not only has luck, but also foresight.

Many people believe that the Santos stab is because India lost the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War. Rurajapani, on the other hand, believes that it is not so simple, and that losing the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War is only a "appearance", and the real reason is the internal contradictions in Indian society. Even if Santos had not been assassinated, the Congress Party would have lost to the BJP in the general election.

The so-called "wise self-preservation". Rurajapani opted for a rapids retreat in 20177.

It is not known whether Rurajapani foresaw the impending global economic crisis and the Great Depression. But Rurajapani was the right choice. Back in Bangalore, Rajapani not only personally led the family business through difficult times. It has also saved millions of jobs in the state of Bangalore, Karnataka. It has provided livelihood security for millions of families and millions of people. In 20199. When re-elected as a member of the National Assembly. Rurajapani is already a household name in India.

In 2C199, it was painfully decided to give up the chances of becoming prime minister. Again, choose wisely.

As the global economic crisis turned into the Great Depression. India is also focusing on infrastructure construction and rehabilitating the wounds of the war. The sharp depreciation of the US dollar has greatly reduced US land aid; The economy is sluggish. tourism revenues have shrunk significantly; The markets of various countries have shrunk sharply, and the export of workers has been hit hard; Trade wars are on and off. The software industry has entered a frozen period; Although it is possible to buy raw materials at cheaper prices, it is in the case of serious losses in exports. India's economy has been severely tested.

In the eyes of the average person. It was only natural for the Congress Party to come to power at this time.

A lot of people overlook an important thing about the place where they were born. That is, China's military operations around the South China Sea.

Since the People's Party came to power, it has been promoting "nationalism". Although the policies of the People's Party are different from those of Santos, they are essentially the same, and they still paralyze the people and win by stirring up nationalist sentiments and covering up internal contradictions with external contradictions.

Stimulated by the "In-South Storm", India's "nationalist sentiment" has once again reared its head and become a hotbed for the BJP's radical policies. Most importantly, the severe effects of the global economic crisis and the Great Recession have not yet been fully felt in 20199, and the vast majority of voters are still unaware of the dangers of radical policies.

Rurajapani was far-sighted and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to "get it at his fingertips".

As it turned out, the BJP did take advantage of the "nationalist sentiment" of the population to defeat the Congress party in the general election.

Since then, the international situation has changed dramatically. Japan's active deployment of nuclear weapons and the Dokdo War have completely broken the pattern of the Asia-Pacific region, and the international environment of Sino-US confrontation has basically taken shape. During this period, the BJP's aggressive policies not only failed to help India survive the crisis, but also brought the Indian economy to the brink of collapse.

Compared to 2018, 2

India's economy has shrunk by 30 per cent, the rupee has depreciated by 65 per cent, the unemployment rate has fallen from 137 per cent, the total industrial output has fallen, some 75 million families have lost their sources of income, the number of people living in extreme poverty has increased from $3 a day from 200 million to 50,000, 100 million children have been chronically malnourished, and the crime rate has increased. According to a survey report released by the United Nations in 2023, India has fallen into one of the poorest countries in the world.

"Survival" has replaced "nationalism" as the topic of primary concern of voters.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the Congress Party, which campaigned under the slogans of "revitalizing economic development" and "improving living standards," defeated the People's Party, which still adheres to "nationalism," in the general election.

After taking office, Rurajapani first improved relations with neighboring countries, including China.

In 2023, India expelled the Bertanot elements, signaling to China that relations are improving.

Subsequently, Rurajapa took advantage of India's status as an observer of the "China-South Asian Market Community" to visit Beijing and held an informal meeting with Zhao Rundong, then the head of the Republic, to discuss a number of issues, including the border dispute between southern Tibet, and took a crucial step towards improving relations between the two countries.

Although Rurajapani's "pro-China" politics has been attacked by many opposition parties, including the BJP, hundreds of millions of Indians have benefited from it in a tangible way.

In 2024, India will join the China-South Asia Market Community. As the Great Depression began to subside, India's economy experienced a "recovery boom". By the beginning of 2027, India's economy will basically recover to the level of 20199, the unemployment rate will drop to below 15%, the number of people living in extreme poverty will be reduced by nearly 300 million, and the problem of food and clothing will be basically solved. No one can deny the decisive role played by Chinese capital in India's economic exhibition. According to India's official statistics, between 202 and 2026, the capital of the Republic of India will flow into more than 1 trillion yuan and about 3,000 yuan, accounting for more than 60% of foreign exchange earnings in the same period, creating 35 million jobs for India and solving 2 living problems.

Economic development and trade exchanges have both boosted stability and inflated India's ambitions.

Affected by the basic national conditions, it is impossible for Rulapani to blindly make a fuss about the economy. If you want to win the 2027 election, you will have to show yourself on other issues. This fundamentally determines the duplicity of the "economic priority" policy pursued by Rurajapani. While actively promoting economic and trade exchanges, Rurajapani did not make any substantive concessions on the main issues related to regional disputes.

Starting in 2025, India will negotiate border disputes with Pakistan and China.

In the past two years, India has made no concessions on major issues, except for a commitment to gradually reduce the number of troops stationed in Kamir and southern Tibet, and has even significantly expanded its armaments during the negotiations.

Needless to say, Rurajapani has been seeking to build a strong military force.

In 2024, during his visit to London, Rurajapani reached an agreement with the British government to purchase a medium-sized aircraft carrier from the United Kingdom again in the name of commissioned construction, in the same way that the BJP government purchased the third "Queen Elizabeth"-class aircraft carrier from the United Kingdom in 20177, the "Duke of York", and named it "Vikrant", and the previous one was named "Vikramaditya". The following year, Rurajapani visited Washington, and in addition to purchasing 70 F35CII fighters and six E2D|type early warning planes for the "Vikrant," he also spent 25 yuan to import six electromagnetic catapults from the United States.

During Rurajapani's visit to the United States, the Indian military reached a "package arms purchase agreement" with the United States. In addition to the above-mentioned carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carrier improvement plan, the United States also purchased 2CGG211 air defense cruisers and DDG100C multipurpose destroyers for two aircraft carrier battle groups, and the United States also provided India with DDG511 destroyers in the form of gifts, and obtained 12C F22I and 180F335I fighters by purchasing production licenses and production lines, and using American technology to develop a "future ground combat system" based on a common platform, including main battle tanks, Ground weapon systems, including self-propelled artillery, infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy armored vehicles, the introduction of armed helicopter production technology and production patents, the agreement cost a total of 350 yuan!

It is not difficult to see that India is arming itself with money earned from China.

India will certainly not be able to coexist peacefully with its neighbors for a long time. With the improvement of its military strength, when India feels that it has the ability to defeat China, it will definitely provoke border conflicts again, and even regional wars.

Under these circumstances, will Wang Yuanqing be able to achieve a successful outcome in New Delhi? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters,! )
