General Staff Department, confidential conference room.

When Huang Guowei arrived, the meeting was half over. After observing the expressions of the participants and the atmosphere at the venue, the Foreign Minister, who is good at observing his expressions, was probably aware of it.

Zhao Rundong, who has always been kind-hearted, had a grim expression on his face and must have had a dispute with Peng Maobang.

The commander of the Second Artillery, Wei Changjiang, looked idle and probably remained silent again and did not express his opinion.

Navy Commander Ying Changhui was blushing and looked at Peng Maobang from time to time, obviously disagreeing with the Army Commander and had just had a fierce debate.

Air Force Commander Yan Yuqing was calm and calm. It seemed that he had not offended anyone, nor had he been offended by anyone.

From this, Huang Guowei came to the conclusion: Peng Maobang advocated launching a ground war and let the army play the lead; Ying Changhui firmly opposed the ground war and hoped that the navy would take charge of it. His opinions were supported by the Minister of National Defense; Yan Yuqing did not favor anyone, whether the army played the lead or the navy played the lead, they were inseparable from the support of the Air Force; Wei Changjiang did not make any statement, and there was no matter how many things happened to the Second Artillery.

While sitting down next to Ji Youguo, Huang Guowei quickly observed the expression of the head of state.

The head of state was still pondering, probably weighing the suggestions of several generals.

Without thinking about it, Huang Guowei knew that the head of state had definitely not made any statement. He knew the head of state too well. When arguing about issues, in order to make others dare to express their opinions, the head of state never expressed his attitude in advance. Although the head of state would refer to other people's opinions and sometimes would adopt other people's suggestions, it was never swayed by other people's opinions, whether it was opinions or suggestions.

"The key is not to fight or not, nor how to fight," Zhao Rundong's words were very organized and conscientious, "but the purpose of fighting and how to achieve the goal at the lowest cost."

"Old Zhao is right. But I want to add one thing. What is the purpose of the Indian government?" Ji Youguo quickly glanced at the participants. "The art of war says: Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. We must not only be clear about our goals, but also understand the purpose of the opponent. General Peng and General Ying proposed both the local plans with reference value. I want to know more in detail. Lao Peng. Come first."

Peng Maobang lit a cigarette and took the opportunity to think quickly. He said, "My land is very clear. The purpose is also very clear: take this opportunity to recover southern Tibet. In the past, we had some concerns. So we have been tolerant. Since we have broken our face with India, we must do whatever we want and send troops to recover southern Tibet. No matter what the outcome of this war is, India will regard us as the number one enemy. In fact, before that, India has always regarded us as the number one enemy. Since this is the case, we should immediately recover southern Tibet. We cannot put the problem aside for decades."

Before Ji Youguo could speak, Huang Guowei knew that Peng Maobang's views would not be adopted.

As the commander of the army and the chief of staff, Peng Maobang is a very outstanding soldier, but not an excellent politician. He saw the local benefits brought by military operations, but did not see the losses caused by this.

The recovery of lost land in 90,000 square kilometers is related to national interests, but it will fundamentally change the nature of the war land.

The Republic did not directly participate in the India-Pakistan War. The word related to war was not mentioned in the just-released statement, indicating that Jiyouguo was trying to avoid war. If he sent troops to southern Tibet, it would not only cause the Republic to directly fight with India, but also lead to a change in the focus of the war. As a direct participant in the war, the Republic will be excluded by the international community dominated by Western countries. It will provide Western countries with evidence to sanction China. It even makes most countries believe that in order to recover southern Tibet, the Republic deliberately provokes the India-Pakistan conflict, which will lead to a change in the nature of the war.

This is not only not the result that Ji Youguo hopes to get, but also the result that Ji Youguo tried his best to avoid.

Ji Youguo did not make a statement, but looked at Ying Changhui.

"I think we should try our best to avoid ground wars." Ying Changhui destroyed cigarette butts and said, "The start of ground wars will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, which will contribute to India's nationalist sentiment. There are millions of Indians in southern Tibet. How can we place these people after we recover southern Tibet? Not only do these problems exist in maritime operations, it can also maximize the confidence and ambitions of India. In the long run, building a strong navy is much more difficult than building a strong army. If the Indian navy can be defeated, it will be able to obtain at least ten to twenty years of peace and stability, creating a better development environment for us."

Huang Guowei smiled a little. Although Ying Changhui did not mention the key points, it generally conformed to Ji Youguo's ideas.

"What is the specific tactics of maritime combat?" Ji Youguo still did not make a direct statement. "Simply put, it is whether the navy is confident of defeating the opponent and winning."

"We are absolutely sure." Ying Changhui seemed full of confidence. "We will deploy tactical aviation to the air bases in southern Pakistan, plus the special mixed fleet operating in the Arabian Sea, to annihilate the western Indian fleet in the form of joint sea-air combat."

Ji Youguo nodded slightly and looked at Peng Maobang.

"I spoke to the Chief of Staff of Pakistan, and Pakistan is ready to provide support for us." Peng Maobang did not mention his point.

"How much time will it take to prepare and how much troops will be invested?" Zhao Rundong asked in more detail.

"As long as Pakistan provides infrastructure, our aviation forces can be deployed within twelve hours. The special mixed fleet is ready at any time and can immediately enter the battle after receiving the order." Ying Changhui paused for a moment and said, "The main target of attack is the Western Indian fleet, and the number of troops will not be too much. If the Indian Air Force can be restrained in other directions, it will be enough to invest four tactical aviation squadrons."

Zhao Rundong nodded slightly and said, "The key is whether he can restrain the Indian Air Force in other directions."

"It can allow Pakistan to strengthen its offensive operations in Kashmir and bomb military targets in the northwest region of India."

"We can't rely solely on Pakistan." Ji Youguo didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. As soon as Peng Maobang finished speaking, he said, "We have made a clear statement that no matter how stupid Santos is, we will expect that we will take military actions at sea. At the beginning, I said that in addition to knowing our own purpose, we also need to know the purpose of the enemy. The riots in India are abnormal, and someone must be manipulating them behind the scenes. If Santos is making trouble, what is his purpose?"

Everyone looked at Ji Youguo and waited for the next sentence from the head of state.

"War to this point, even the stupid politicians should know that India not only lost the war, but also had to declare a truce as soon as possible. Santos did not do this, but planned a series of shameless actions. Why?" Ji Youguo knocked on the table, "It's very simple. Santos's purpose was not to win the war, but to consolidate his position. In the case of thinking that he could quickly defeat Pakistan, Santos hoped to improve his position in the Congress party through war. After the war was defeated, he planned a conspiracy to kill Rahul Gandhi, eradicate the threats within the Congress party. By intensifying national conflicts, he suppressed the ready-to-go BJP. All of this is to ensure his ruling position."

"None of these can change the fact that India was defeated." Peng Maobang muttered.

"Old Peng is right, and he also said it to the point." Ji Youguo picked up the cigarette. "Santos needs a reason to end the war or announce a truce. If we can annihilate our special mixed fleet and save Assam, Santos will convince the Indian people that under his leadership, India has thwarted the Republic's invasion attempt."

Everyone showed admiration and had no suspicion about the analysis of the head of state.

"Actually, the problem can be viewed in the opposite direction." Zhao Rundong smiled.

"Old Zhao's words are what we want to achieve." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "If we annihilate the western Indian fleet but do not recover southern Tibet, Santos will still be swollen and fat, claiming to have won the battle of territorial defense. Regardless of the result, Santos will promote victory, and will not admit defeat, or even announce the real losses of the war. We take this opportunity to severely attack India's military power and let India in the next twenty years

We can't stand up. Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. We cannot count on Pakistan, we must experience it personally. The Navy needs to strengthen its investment. If four squadrons are not enough, we will send six or eight squadrons. The Army must also take action and take action to attack southern Tibet and attract the enemy's troops. I only have one requirement. After this war, it will not only make India defeated, but also make India afraid of us and make them dare not face us in the next twenty years!"

Not only did the generals admire Ji Youguo very much, but Huang Guowei secretly sighed: The head of state is the head of state, and looking at the problem is just to the point.

"The relevant work must be arranged as soon as possible." Ji Youguo destroyed the cigarette butts. "The United States will definitely mediate and will not let us slaughter India at will. We will strive to complete the deployment within 24 hours and receive the results within 48 hours."

After the meeting ended, Ji Youguo asked Huang Guowei to stay.

"First of the People, you are so powerful. Even those generals who are usually arrogant are admired by you."

"Is that true? I don't think so." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "You go back and pack your luggage and set off for the United States later."

"Advertisement to your visit to the United States?"

"Of course not, your destination is the United Nations." After taking the teacup handed over by Wang Yuanqing, Ji Youguo said again, "The United States is likely to make a big fuss in the United Nations. It is better to take the initiative than passiveness. I will ask Wang Yuanqing to give you the documents later. You can prepare well and take the initiative to propose sanctions against both sides of the war."

"But Pakistan..."

"Don't worry, things won't be that simple." Ji Youguo smiled faintly, "This is just a delaying strategy. Which major proposal of the Security Council will not be discussed for a few days, or even dozens of days?"

"Is there anything to pay attention to?" Huang Guowei understood Ji Youguo's intentions.

"Ask for a price all over the place and pay it back. If the United States is anxious, it will follow our steps. If the negotiations cannot be reached, just one word: 'drag'. When we are done, we will talk about the main business. If it is necessary, we can exercise the veto power. With your diplomatic ability, there will be no problem in dealing with each other for a few days, right?"

Huang Guowei agreed with a smile. Like those generals, he was also impressed by the head of state.
