Chapter 60 Never Abandon
United Nations, Security Council.
As the voting results appeared on the big screen, warm applause rang out in the venue.
After nearly five hours and two rounds of intense consultations, among the five permanent members, except for Russia who abstained, all four countries voted in favor; among the ten non-permanent members, except for South Africa who voted against and Vietnam who abstained, all eight countries voted in favor.
Huang Guowei breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his watch. At 8:45 ET.
Negotiations are both difficult and tortuous.
During the first round of consultations, Huang Guowei had a fierce dispute with US Secretary of State Lynch. Lynch demanded that after the proposal came into effect, the warring sides must immediately cease fire, otherwise they will be severely sanctioned by the United Nations. Huang Guowei insisted on giving the warring sides a 24-hour ceasefire preparation time. If the warring sides declare a ceasefire within this period and take substantial actions, the United Nations will not impose sanctions.
The second round of closed-door consultations took place for three hours.
In the end, Huang Guowei "persuaded" Lynch and asked the US Secretary of State to agree to delay the ceasefire for 24 hours, but during this period, the warring sides were not allowed to take any offensive military action.
Lynch didn't know that when he voted for it, China launched a large-scale air strike on India.
After leaving the venue, Huang Guowei did not accept interviews with reporters or attend press conferences, but asked Jiang Yuchen, the chief representative of the Republic to the United Nations, to deal with the reporters.
At 9:40, Huang Guowei boarded the plane to return to China and immediately reported to Ji Youguo through a confidential phone number.
Putting down the phone and microphone, Ji Youguo showed a rare smile.
The result was completely as expected and a little surprised him. He did not expect the United States to fully accept the land price of the Republic. However, the United States did not reserve at all.
After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo picked up the hotline.
Although he had communicated with Pakistani President Sharif for a long time, it would be best to do "ideological work" for Sharif. According to the agreement where it just came into effect, as long as Pakistan stops military operations within 24 hours and announces a ceasefire, it will not be sanctioned. This war is enough to make every Pakistani person believe that only China is a reliable friend. Western countries are hypocrites who forget their righteousness when they see profit.
The two heads of state talked very speculatively on the phone. Sharif was very satisfied with the result. Pakistan occupied two-thirds of Kashmir. Sharif's support rate in the mainland will therefore reach a very high level, allowing him to win the next election steadily.
The Pakistani president has not forgotten to thank China again for its strong support.
Sharif took the opportunity to invite Ji Youguo, hoping that Ji Youguo would be able to visit Pakistan recently, and Ji Youguo agreed immediately. Visiting Pakistan at this time not only demonstrates China's firm support for Pakistan, but also enhances China-Pakistan friendship.
After breakfast, Ji Youguo first spoke to Zhao Rundong.
The Security Council's sanctions resolution has come into effect. Although China is not a party to the war, China's military operations must also be restricted. It is better to take the initiative than passiveness. Before Huang Guowei returns to the country, let the Minister of Defense announce that China will stop military operations and stabilize India as soon as possible.
Ji Youguo did not think that Santos would fight back with all his might.
Before receiving the call from Huang Guowei, Ji Youguo received a call from Peng Maobang. The air strike achieved almost satisfactory results. New Delhi's air defense network was completely destroyed, the transportation network in northwestern India was completely paralyzed, and the basic military forces were devastating. As long as Santos did not have the courage to use nuclear weapons, he had to declare a ceasefire immediately.
The war is over!
"Xiao Wang, stop busy, let the guards clean up." Ji Youguo picked up the coat hanging on the coat rack, "Prepare the vehicle, let's go to the General Staff."
"First of the People, you haven't had a rest for dozens of hours."
"It's okay, I've been sticking to it for dozens of hours, and it's okay to stick to it for a few more hours."
"But……"
"Go and prepare quickly. After finishing my work, I'll come back to sleep. OK?"
Wang Yuanqing sighed, and the head of state took the doctor's advice again as a wind in his ears.
At half past twelve, the head of state came to the General Staff.
For the first time in thirty years, Ji Youguo has seen Peng Maobang so excited. The staff officer was also very excited. If it weren't for the General Staff that there was no convenience store, someone would have opened champagne to celebrate.
"First of the People!" Peng Maobang strode forward, "It's a happy congratulation!"
"I'm here to congratulate you. General Peng, isn't he proud now?"
"Only when the head of state is in good condition, we can achieve today's victory."
Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head. "What's the situation now? Have all the participants retreated safely?"
"Six fighter jets were shot down, four of them had been found and returned to Pakistan. Four pilots were searching for them. Two of them had been confirmed and they could arrive in Pakistan safely in half an hour."
Ji Youguo frowned slightly. He didn't care how many fighter planes he lost, but whether the pilot could save him.
At this time, You Hongjun walked over quickly. After seeing Ji Youguo, he obviously hesitated for a moment.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Peng, I just received the news." You Hongjun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Betankode's rescue operation was in trouble. The Pakistani special forces sent were wiped out, and we lost contact with the two shot down pilots."
"What!?" Peng Maobang was shocked, "The message from Xiang Yinghui?"
"Yes, Colonel Xiang Yinghui reported it personally."
"Go to the command center." Peng Maobang accelerated his pace, "Have you confirmed the identities of the two pilots?"
"It has been confirmed that Major Liang Guoxiang and Captain Di Boqing of the HNA Testing Force."
Hearing this, Ji Youguo showed a look of surprise. He knew these two soldiers.
After entering the command center, Peng Maobang immediately asked You Hongjun to contact Xiang Yinghui and prepare for a video conference call.
"The pilots of the test troops are responsible for bombing the Bertankode Air Defense Command Center." Peng Maobang sighed, "I didn't expect them to be shot down. When we arrange rescue work, we..."
"It's meaningless to say these things now." Ji Youguo has calmed down, "find them at all costs, even if they have sacrificed, they will bring their bodies back."
Peng Maobang nodded. He knew Ji Youguo very well.
"If necessary, we can continue to bomb military targets in India and create conditions for rescue operations."
"Old Ji, this..."
At this time, the video phone was connected, and Xiang Yinghui's avatar appeared on the big screen.
"Xiang Yinghui, I am Ji Youguo."
"Hello, Head of State!" Xiang Yinghui was obviously a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that Ji You Congress personally inquired about this matter.
"I have already understood the situation. No matter what method you use, be sure to find Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing. Do you understand?"
"First of the People's Republic of China, we have taken remedial actions. An hour ago, Major Lu Chengwen personally led the team to find them." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment, "The situation is not as bad as I imagined. According to what I know now, a group of our scouts were moving nearby. The reconnaissance planes and reconnaissance satellites found no signs of large-scale searches by the Indian army, indicating that Liang Guoxiang and the others were likely to be with our scouts and avoided the Indian search forces, and perhaps they were on their way back to Pakistan."
"Scouts, who are they?"
"First of the People's Republic of China, they are Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin, and you know each other."
Ji Youguo frowned slightly, then nodded. "In this case, we have four officers and soldiers from the test troops who have not returned yet?"
Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"We must find them at all costs and bring them back." Ji Youguo's tone was very firm, "Col. I will give you all the necessary powers and you can mobilize our military forces. If necessary, I will contact Sharif directly to ask the Pakistani army to provide assistance and support."
"First of the People's Republic of China, I understand what you mean. I think the rescue operation cannot be made public. It is best to carry out secretly."
"You are better than me, do whatever you should do!"
"I understand, I will go to Gujlanwara immediately and direct the command..." Xiang Yinghui stopped halfway through his words. He looked to the left, and the expression on his face also changed a lot.
Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang immediately realized that things had made progress.
"Head of the People's Republic of China Peng, we just received the news that Major Lu Chengwen has found them, but..."
"Just what?" Peng Maobang asked rushingly.
"I only found Su Mingjin, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing. Major Liang Guoxiang was slightly injured and was not seriously injured; Su Mingjin and Di Boqing were safe and sound."
"Where is Kang Xiaoting?" Ji Youguo asked immediately.
"First of the People, I will help you connect with Major Lu Chengwen."
Soon, a loud noise came from the speaker, followed by a noisy noise.
"Lu Chengwen, I am Peng Maobang, report the situation immediately."
"Mr. Peng, I am Lu Chengwen." The major's voice was very anxious, "We have found Liang Guoxiang and the others, but we have not found Kang Xiaoting. According to Su Mingjin, before we arrived, they encountered an unknown special forces. In order to cover everyone's retreat, Kang Xiaoting led the special forces away, and his whereabouts are unknown now."
"What!?" Ji Youguo said immediately, "Major Lu Chengwen, I am Ji Youguo. Are you saying that Kang Xiaoting is still in India now?"
"Yes, it's very likely that it's still in India, or even..." Lu Chengwen didn't say the following words.
Ji Youguo and Peng Maobang's faces suddenly changed. Kang Xiaoting was likely to have died or been captured by the enemy.
"You continue to search and report immediately if there is any situation." Peng Maobang hung up the phone, "Lao Ji, I will deal with this matter..."
"We have to see people alive, and we have to see corpses when we die!" Ji Youguo's hand trembled slightly, "No matter what, we cannot let our soldiers stay in a foreign country."
Peng Maobang nodded and agreed immediately.
More than 30 years ago, Ji Youguo did not abandon the soldiers who fought for the country.
Now, he will not abandon the Republicans who are in danger.
