Chapter 1281: State of War Privileges
Steve's tactics against the unwilling capitalists were very ruthless.
Take away everything they have by the deeds of robbers, take away all that they have. This is something more cruel than killing them. Of course, no one would want to be treated like this, and resistance is almost inevitable. But again, under the sword and gun of power, the resistance of the capitalists will not help at all.
If you don't accept it, you will kill, and if you kill it, you will kill it again. This was not a difficult task for the soldiers of the Cult of God. If you give them a chance to deal with those who used to be high up and control their own life and death, I believe they are happy to do this kind of thing.
Under these circumstances, there is simply no one who can prevent the establishment of this so-called property management committee. And its establishment brought the entire financial system of Mumbai under the control of the Anthroponomis. At the same time, it also means that the economic lifeline of the whole of India has been cut off.
Mumbai is home to more than half of India's imports and exports, and at the same time, it accounts for 40 per cent of India's income tax, 60 per cent of customs duties and 20 per cent of excise. It is the most important economic pillar of the Federal Government of India. Losing this place, the entire Indian federal government is equivalent to losing its own blood.
This is a terrible thing, far more terrible than the independence of a few small and unimportant states. And all this, Hagtel did not know. Now he is unaware of what is happening in Mumbai, because now he has put all his attention on the battle in Chhattisgarh.
The Naxalite guerrillas are not a rabble. As a rebel who inherited the Red Will, they had a very mature fighting and political philosophy. And this makes their soldiers far superior to those Indian soldiers in terms of individual combat quality. Especially with the weapon support of Hydra, their combat effectiveness has soared all the way, soaring to the point that the so-called Indian local government army is simply unable to confront them.
Even if the local forces of the states had been mobilized, the local armies were no match for the Naxalite guerrillas. Chhattisgarh is still firmly in the hands of the Naxalian guerrillas, and the government's actions are merely adding innocent souls to their men.
Arguably, this is the last thing Hagtel wants. If this bad thing continues, then the rule of the entire Indian government will probably collapse. And it is worth rejoicing that Ramammujam came in with an army at this time.
The elite drawn from the entire Indian army is obviously more than a cut higher than the local army. And Rama Mujam's command ability is obviously not comparable to those wine bags and rice bags before him. Coupled with some special factors, it can be said that Rama Mujam has been on the field for a succession of good news. He halted the expansion of the Naxalite guerrillas, and repeatedly thwarted the attacks of the Naxalite guerrillas. Judging from the news on the battlefield alone, it is clear that the Naxalian guerrillas are powerless against him. And he happens to be the nemesis of the Naxal guerrillas.
This is a very important change for Hagtel. And in order to be able to end all this as soon as possible, he repeatedly urged Rama Mujam to get up.
"Pick it up, General. We can't afford to drag it out any longer. Now that you have what it takes to deal with these damn thugs, then go ahead and get Chhattisgarh straight back. As long as you take back Chhattisgarh, all the rebels around you will no longer have the courage to continue to act rashly. We can calmly mobilize our forces and send them back little by little. And when we clear all of India, then you will be the hero of all India. Your future will also be bright. When I say that, you know what I mean. ”
Of course, Hagtel understood what Ramammujam meant, and it was nothing more than using the identity of his future successor as a bargaining chip. If before, he only had such an intention, then now, after he wins this battle, then this identity will undoubtedly be confirmed.
If this had been before, Rama Mujam would have been impressed by this promise. But now, he has a better choice. He no longer took Hagotel's promise to heart, but on the surface, he still showed a look of sincere fear and gratitude.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency. But it's precisely because I can't live up to your trust that I can't act rashly. Now we are fighting on the periphery of the urban agglomeration, and although we have recovered some small cities on the periphery, the core of the entire state is still under the control of the enemy. Attacking without gaining a foothold is likely to cost us the advantage we currently hold. And that's just going to make all our plans go down the drain. So, I can only beg you to give me two more days. As long as I have enough time to make repairs and layouts, I am sure enough to get the whole state back completely. ”
"Your Excellency, this is not the time for bargaining!"
Although he knew that Ramammujam had some truth in what he said, Hagtel did not mean to listen to him. At this time, he just kept a straight face and emphasized to him again and again in a serious tone.
"The annexation of Chhattisgarh in the shortest possible time is what we need politically. Military affairs are meant to serve politics, and if you fail to meet our political needs, then even if you win this war, we will already lose the whole situation. You know, time is running out for us. If it drags on like this, neither you nor I can afford to take this responsibility. Why, do you want to be the sinner of our India for the ages? ”
War should serve the government, and Rama Mujam understands this, so he admits that Hagtel is not wrong. However, when Hagtel said such a thing in such a threatening tone, he inevitably felt a little resentment in his heart.
He is his only reliance now, and now he has something to ask for himself. Obviously this is the relationship, but his words are still so condescending and full of command. This made Rama Mujam, who was still guilty of this old man, already throw away his psychological burden in an instant.
Such a guy really doesn't deserve to feel guilty about him. With such a thought racing back in his mind, on the surface, Ramammujam maintained a basic respect. With some embarrassment on his face, he thought for a moment and said to Hagotel.
"Your Excellency, it is almost impossible to succeed in doing so. Some things are not something you can do as you want. I can guarantee the final victory, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to win it all in the shortest possible time, as you ask you to do. There are a lot of risks and variables. Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
Sensing another meaning hidden in Ramamujam's words, Hagtel asked with some eagerness. At this time, he no longer has more choices. As long as there is such a possibility, then he can only try his best to grasp it in his hands.
And that's exactly what Rama Mujam wants him to do. Hearing his question, Rama Mujam first made a hesitant look on his face. Then, after some struggle, he straightened up and replied loudly.
"Unless your Excellency wishes to authorize me, allow me to use heavy weapons to carry out sweeping and clearing operations throughout the state of Chhattisgarh."
As soon as these words came out, even as Hagotel, he couldn't help but choke his breath. In today's Chhattisgarh Pradesh, the war that took place can be called a local battle. The Indian government has mobilized almost 100,000 troops, including hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. And this has already put Hagtel under great pressure.
In any case, the current Indian government is not fully in a state of war. Even though the states have become independent by armed force, the federal government of India has not publicly declared that the country has entered the most critical moment and needs to enter a state of war for the whole people.
This is partly because the Indian government is not ready for full-scale war mobilization, and partly because of political and face-saving needs. Hagtel wants to tell all the people that everything is under control and that nothing is beyond the limits of what the Indian government can handle.
But once the Indian government allows Ramammujam to use heavy weapons to sweep and clean up the whole of Chhattisgarh, the bottom line he has been trying to maintain may no longer be able to hold on.
Because at that time, the army will no longer care about the lives and deaths of civilians. When artillery shells fall on cities, when the army is completely transformed into a war machine, crushing it with a posture that devours everything, even if the government wants to protect civilians, there is nothing it can do.
War is a terrible beast that cannot be easily controlled once it is unreined. The whole of Chhattisgarh will be overwhelmed by the raging flames of war, and by that time, countless civilians will have fallen victim to war.
The price was too great, so great that even Hagtel was a little unacceptable. But when I think of the consequences of the prolongation of the war, of the threats that this country is facing. After all, this old man showed great determination and courage.
"Yes, I'll give it to you. Just let it go, and I'll take care of everything! ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I promise, you won't be disappointed. ”
