Chapter 57: A Critical Step

When Hu Yinghui arrived, Wang Shiqing was working with Gu Weimin, Yan Jingyu and others, and stopped the mansion and made a move.

The war has broken out and there are not many legal problems. In order to prepare for this war, as early as the Year of the Drowning, Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin submitted the Foreign Affairs Security Law to the Plenary Congress, which clearly stipulates that in order to safeguard the interests of allies and the surrounding situation, the government can take military actions when necessary. Strictly speaking, this bill is not perfect and has many loopholes and flaws, such as the scale of military and military operations that the government can mobilize without the approval of the Plenary Congress. At the beginning of the year, with Wang Yuanqing's approval, Gu Weimin proposed an amendment to the Plenary Congress, but the amendment is still under discussion. At the earliest, the vote will be held until the beginning of next year. Because sending troops to Sikkim is a military action to stabilize the surrounding situation, Wang Yuanqing can directly mobilize the military power of the Republic.

If the war continues, the legal problems will be more serious.

Although Wang Yuanqing could send troops to India and even defeat India's military power in the name of maintaining the surrounding situation, without authorization from the General Assembly, Wang Yuanqing could not declare war on India, let alone carry out substantial military occupation of India.

The political reform initiated by Wang Yuanqing ultimately restricted Wang Yuanqing's power, which can be regarded as a substantial progress.

Wang Yuanqing came to Gu Weimin to solve legal problems. To be precise, he hoped to use Gu Weimin's influence at the plenary congress to allow the plenary congress to authorize Yuandong to conduct military operations against India as soon as possible, thereby paving the way for Wang Yuanqing to start a war with India.

Without legal basis, government work is difficult to carry out.

Before the whole meeting quietly granted the head of war, Wang Yuanqing could not allow the country to enter a state of war, nor could the government initiate war mobilization. What Wang Yuanqing could do was to let Yan Jingyu prepare for war within the scope of the government's authority, such as mobilizing resources from state-owned enterprises controlled by the central government, mobilizing private resources through government influence, etc.

The three of them discussed it very fiercely, and Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu both did not understand Wang Yuanqing's approach.

The war plan against India has been determined long ago, and ICBC has already been in place for all aspects. Not to mention anything else. The propaganda work related to the war has been carried out for three years. For example, since the Year of Pet, major news media in the Republic have reported in the form of documentary the arduous and arduous armed struggle of the Sikkim guerrillas in order to strive for national liberation and national independence.

According to Gu Weimin, we should not be restricted by law at the last moment.

During the discussion, Gu Weimin even repeatedly hinted that as long as Wang Yuanqing made a war request at the plenary congress, the vote would be passed.

No matter what Gu Weimin said, Wang Yuanqing was unmoved.

This is exactly what Gu Weimin doesn't understand the least. Although it is not wrong to adhere to the legal foundation, it is normal for the head of state to exert influence at the appropriate time. With Wang Yaoqing's prestige in the country, as long as he proposes to start a war with India, most representatives will support it. However, Wang Yuanqing was unwilling to exert influence at this time and insisted that the general congress vote without interference.

What Yan Jingyu didn't understand was that Wang Yuanqing's attitude on government issues was also very strange.

Logically speaking, there is no problem with the government entering a state of war after the outbreak of war. Even if the fundamental nature of this war is not to defend the country or regain lost territory, the Republic's army is the main participant. From a military perspective, the sooner the government enters a state of war, the less pressure the army will be, and the smaller the price it pays for the war. Although it is restricted by law, Wang Yuanqing can completely ask the government to serve the war in some aspects as the head of state of war.

Wang Yuanqing's attitude on this issue is stronger, and everything is subject to the authorization of the plenary congress.

If Gu Weimin and Yan Qinyu don’t understand what Wang Yuanqing means, it must be a lie.

After so many years of political reform, everything Wang Yuanqing did was to build the Republic into a legal society, use the law to constrain the power of all members of society, including the head of state and the central government, and finally return the power of the state to every citizen who constitutes the country through the law. In this way, only by strengthening the Plenary Congress as the supreme authority of the Republic can the goal be achieved.

However, in the view of Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu, special measures can be taken in special circumstances.

The problem is also here.

Should special measures be taken during special times?

It can be said that this is one of the most debated issues in the judicial academic community of the Republic over the years.

First of all, how to define the "special period". War is a special period, so whether other situations are considered special periods, and what situations are considered special periods. This problem cannot be solved, and all the previous work is equivalent to not being done, because the head of state can declare the Republic to enter a special period at any time, thus gaining unimaginable huge power and turning the success of political reform into a bubble.

Secondly, the "special means" cannot be determined. Granting the head of state power to war is a special means, so whether other means is considered special means, and what method is considered special means. If this problem is not solved, the head of state can use any means as special means.

There is no doubt that Wang Yuanqing does not want to set this precedent and does not want to destroy the legal system established by himself.

Based on the actual situation, there is only one situation that allows the Republic to enter a "special period." That is, the Republic is armed invaded and forced to engage in an anti-aggression war. There is only one way to reach the "special period" and that is to defend the country's actions...

It is not easy to determine this, and legislation alone has a lot of work to be done.

Wang Yuanqing's actions at this time also reflected some concerns about his future.

It has to be admitted that the Republic was very lucky until Wang Yuanqing became the head of state, at least in the first few years of the century. Even if the successor selected by Wang Yuanqing could lead the Republic to continue moving forward, no one could guarantee that after that, every head of state in the Republic would place national interests and national interests first. Personality cannot be guaranteed, but it can only be restricted through systems, that is, laws. As the initiator of the change, if even Wang Yuanqing did not respect and abide by the law, how can we expect future national leaders to respect and abide by the law?

Both Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu knew that Wang Yuanqing was the kind of person who would never give up until he achieved his goal.

After the argument began, the atmosphere became a little nervous.

Gu Weimin is fine. He has known Wang Yuanqing for so many years and has long been accustomed to doing things according to Wang Yuanqing's wishes. Since Wang Yuanqing insisted on taking action after the authorization of the General Assembly, he did not express his objection. In fact, there is no trouble. As long as a resolution is proposed to the General Assembly, it will definitely be passed. Letting the country enter a state of war a few days later will not have much impact. Because India has not yet actively expanded the scale of the war, declaring war on India a few days later will not have a negative impact on military operations.

Relatively speaking, Yan Jingyu is a bit difficult to deal with.

Although Yan Jingyu's foundation in the State Council is not very strong, he has a very distinct personality, that is, like Wang Yuanqing, he is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal. According to Yan Jingyu, if the country has entered a state of war one day earlier, he will lose one point if he declares that the country has entered a state of war.

In order to convince Wang Yuanqing, Yan Jingyu also brought a document worth hundreds of pages.

From this we can also see that Yan Jingyu pays great attention to the basis for making decisions.

If the war continues to develop according to Wang Yuanqing's vision, the scale of the Indian War will not only not be smaller than that of the Japanese War, but will instead participate in the war with the ground troops, far exceeding the Japanese War. The key is ground combat operations. Maritime and air combat have not had a great impact on the Republic, and ground combat that is difficult to avoid major casualties will definitely have an impact on the Republic. According to the Pendant War, when the number of casualties exceeds the number of hammer digits, the government must consider the negative impact of the war on the social situation in the Republic.

The evidence Yan Jingyu presented is very convincing and his views are clear.

The sooner the war is declared, the fewer casualties will be, and the smaller the impact will be.

To this end, Yan Jingyu also made a rough estimate based on reports submitted by several departments of the State Council. According to his assessment, the price paid by the Republic for the war one day earlier would be reduced by about 100 million yuan, shortening the duration of the war by half a day. Although the basis for this view is not reliable, Yan Jingyu's assessment is not much different from the actual situation. Whether the country enters the war in time will have a very obvious impact on the war.

Xiang Yinghui arrived and resolved the disputes between the three leaders.

Wang Zhuqing asked Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu to stay.

"The overall situation is much better than we expected. The Navy has successfully completed its mission, wiped out the Western Indian Fleet and destroyed the Eastern Indian Fleet. Although several large warships of the Eastern Indian Fleet escaped, three aircraft carriers were sunk. The Navy Fleet will enter the Indian Ocean in 24 hours and start the second phase of combat operations." Xiang Yinghui paused for a moment and said, "I just received the news that two infantry divisions stationed in Darjeeling and an armored brigade entered Sikkim and suddenly stopped advancing less than ten kilometers from Xintam."

"Suddenly stop moving forward?" Gu Weimin immediately frowned.

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "According to Pei Chengyi's branch, the sudden stop of Indian troops is likely to be related to the military operations carried out by our army in the northern region of Sikkim.

"If the Indian army is afraid of our attack, why should we send troops into Sikkim?" Yan Jingyu asked.

Xiang Yinghui smiled bitterly and said, "When our army attacked the Tang Gu Indian Army's positions, we used a new bomb with an explosion power of five tons. According to previous test results, the Indian army is likely to think that our army used low-equivalent tactical nuclear warheads in combat."

Gu Weimin and Ti Jingyu were both shocked, and Wang Yuanqing also showed a look of shock.

"We have enough intelligence to prove that India does not intend to use nuclear weapons. Of course, according to the combat plan, our strategic defense forces have long been in combat readiness." Xiang Yinghui immediately said the most concerned things of the three leaders, and then continued, "The key question now is when will we enter India."

"According to the previous plan, the time for our army to attack India is ripe, so what else can we hesitate about?"

Xiang Yinghui looked at Yan Jingyu and turned his gaze to Wang Yuanqing.

There is no doubt that Yan Jingyu is not a good deal. In terms of foreign policy, Yan Jingyu is not weaker than Wang Yuanqing, and even tougher than Wang Yuanqing. Because Yan Jingyu's time to enter the central government is too short and his local work is not much laughing about foreign-related issues, so not many people yet know the Prime Minister's attitude towards the outside world.

Wang Yuanqing exclaimed and said, "Mr. Xiang, what do you mean?"

"Me?" Xiang Yinghui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "According to the combat plan, our army will launch a ground war after India increases its troops to Sikkim. All participating troops are ready. Airborne troops can be issued on the mountain after receiving the order, and other ground troops can also be put into battle indoors for several hours.

Speaking of this, Xiang Yinghui didn't say anything more.

Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "It seems that this is our only chance to launch a ground war."

Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment and did not express his opinion.

Gu Weimin glanced at the Chief of Staff, then looked at the Prime Minister sitting opposite him and said, "It is true. This is very likely to be our only chance to launch a ground war. After entering Sikkim, the Indian ground forces suddenly stopped moving forward, which is very likely an order issued by Rurajapani. According to Mr. Xiang, Rurajapani believed that we used tactical nuclear weapons in the war, and were worried that we would use tactical nuclear weapons to deal with reinforcements. If I were Rurajapani, I would also let the troops stop advancing immediately."

"The wisest way for Rulajapani is not to stop the troops, but to withdraw the reinforcements." Yan Jingyu added, and then said, "But from the actual situation, Rulajapani definitely has insufficient understanding of the battle situation, so it is possible to make wrong judgments in panic and issue wrong orders. In other words, he did not expect that the reinforcements entered Sikkim so quickly, and did not issue retreat orders. As long as Rulajapani reacted, he would definitely issue retreat orders."

"We have no reason to start a ground war when reinforcements leave Sikkim."

Zang Jingyu glanced at Gu Weimin, then nodded, expressing his support for Gu Weimin's point of view.

Seeing the two singing and combining, Wang Yuanqing turned his attention to Xiang Yinghui again.

"We have already prepared for such situations, and the participating troops are ready,"

"Mr. Xiang, when will the combat operation start as soon as possible?"

Xiang Yinghui thought for a moment and said, "Aerial strikes can start before fourteen o'clock, and ground attacks can start at fourteen thirty at the fastest."

Wang Yuanqing looked at the watch and it was already a witch.

Yan Jingyu wanted to speak, but Gu Weimin shook his head at him and asked him to wait patiently.

After pondering for a while, Wang Yuanqing said: "Since that's the case, we cannot miss the opportunity to launch a ground war. Mr. Xiang, please contact Pei Chengyi immediately and ask him to arrange combat operations. Lao Gu, you go back and preside over the work immediately and strive to submit a war authorization bill to the All Congress tomorrow morning. Premier Yan, the government's war preparations must be arranged in advance. After obtaining the authorization of the All Congress, I will immediately declare the country to enter the state of war; Also, remember to contact Yan Shanglong and arrange the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The three of them nodded and agreed.

"By the way, when will the Ministry of Defense press conference end?"

"It should be over." Yan Jingyu glanced at his watch and said, "It was probably because the reporter was too active, there were too many problems, and it delayed time.

"When you see Ye Zhisheng, let him come over quickly. Military supply production must be given more effort."

Yan Jingyu didn't say much, so he agreed.

"There is nothing else, you can go back and prepare quickly." Wang Yuanqing stood up first, "After lunch, I have to call the US President on the hotline. Although the US's attitude can no longer stop our military operations, finding out the US's confidence will be of great help to our offensive. Come over when you have supper, and I ask the chef to prepare some side dishes and chat when we eat."

The three of them immediately stood up and said goodbye, leaving the head of state separately.

The sudden outbreak of war had a great impact on the Republic. On the way back to the General Staff, Xiang Yinghui noticed that the citizens of the capital were not very enthusiastic about this war that had little to do with the Republic, and there was no scene when the war was started against Japan. Obviously, the citizens of the Republic were becoming more and more rational in their attitude towards war. As the Republic recovered southern Tibet three years ago, many citizens of the Republic did not agree to the war on India, and even believed that the Republic should improve relations with India, modify the South Asian policy that unilaterally supports Pakistan, and establish a new strategic balance in South Asia, so as to maximize the protection of the Republic's interests in South Asia.

Although Xiang Yinghui is a soldier and does not care about public opinion like a politician, Xiang Yinghui knows that the reason why Wang Yuanqing is cautious and guarded everywhere in this war is very funny with the public opinion of the Republic. If the military and civilians across the country unanimously support the war against India, Wang Yuanqing would not have too many concerns.

If we come from the perspective of a soldier, Xiang Yinghui would not think that such a public opinion basis has any benefits.

If we come from the perspective of the country, Xiang Yinghui has to admit that Wang Yuanqing's political reform has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Citizens’ daring to question the government’s war decisions is itself a sign of the awakening of citizen consciousness. Although the government is the ruling and leadership body of the country, it is not the government officials who charge in the battle, but soldiers from the citizen group. It is not the government who ultimately bears the trauma of the war, but all citizens of the Republic. Citizens begin to think about the benefits and disadvantages of war, which is the basic manifestation of citizens’ protection of their own rights and interests. Only when citizens consider their rights and interests and dare to protect their own rights and interests with their thoughts and actions, citizens are the masters of the country.

But Xiang Yinghui didn’t have the time to think so much.

The head of state has made a decision and must take military action quickly and not miss fleeting opportunities.
