Chapter 72 The Prime Minister with an Iron Fist

As soon as he entered the conference room, Rulajapani glanced at the soldiers sitting...

In just a few days, the mental state of Indian generals, including Fernandez, changed a lot. Although no one was willing to admit that India was about to be defeated, pessimism enveloped everyone's hearts. Compared with the Fourth India-Pakistan War before the New Year, India reached a critical moment of life and death. At that time, China secretly supported Pakistan and launched an air strike before the end of the war. It defeated India without any effort. Now China directly sent troops to attack India, and Pakistan officially declared war on India, the reality in front of India was extremely cruel.

When Rurajapani sat down, every general dared to face the Prime Minister.

No matter how many relationship these generals have with foreign forces or domestic large families, as professional soldiers and those who have received higher education and professional training, their primary task is to defend the motherland and defeat the invaders, rather than serve a certain interest group.

It has to be admitted that India has a group of professional soldiers with not too bad qualities.

"Everyone knows what happened today." Rulajapani broke his silence and said, "The actual situation is worse than we imagined. Not only did China declare war on us, but Pakistan also declared war on us. Although other neighboring countries have not joined the war for the time being. But it can be imagined that as long as we lose a key battle or encounter unexpected situations, all border countries with disputes with us will declare war on us. We have no way out. Whether we admit defeat or give up resistance, the final result will be a destruction of the country. We have only one choice, that is, to rise up and defeat the invaders!"

At the end, Rurajapani turned the sunlight to Fernandez, as well as Army Chief of Staff Gujarad and Air Force Chief of Staff Hiyutun, who were sitting on both sides of Fernandez.

"There is enough intelligence to prove that the Chinese naval fleet will enter the Andaman Sea within 24 hours." Fernandez did not give up his voice to the other two chiefs of staff." Although there was a problem with our intelligence, two days ago, when we were fighting with us, the Chinese fleet did not enter the Indian Ocean. Instead, it was active east of the Linga Islands. It has to be admitted that the Chinese fleet has unexpected ultra-long-range strike capabilities. Before this, it was not the Chinese fleet carrier-based fighter jets that bombed the Andaman Nicobar Islands. It was a strategic bomber of the Chinese Air Force. It is very likely that the thug-thrower super stealth strategic bomber that was not in service.

The entire battle process is completely beyond our battle. The Jirong thugs. Five, the annihilation of the Western Fleet and the defeat of the Eastern Fleet were not caused by command errors. The current situation is that after the Chinese fleet enters the Indian Ocean, it is very likely that it will remain in the Bay of Bengal. At least half of the combat forces will remain in the Bay of Bengal, supporting the ground forces on the Eastern Front battlefield to fight and attack the withdrawal of the Eastern Fleet in Visakhapatnam. If we make a difference on the Western Front battlefield, that is, on the Kashmir battlefield, the Chinese Navy must march into the Arabian Sea. Stop us from launching an attack in the southwest and defending Pakistan's southern wing. I suggest that we should take action on the Western Front battlefield as soon as possible. Spread the combat forces of the Chinese Navy and force the Chinese Navy to divide the troops to operate, thus creating opportunities for us to launch a counterattack on the Eastern Front battlefield."

Fernandez finished speaking in one breath and focused his eyes on the Prime Minister.

Although Rurajapani was not a soldier and did not know much about combat operations, Fernandez's words were easy to understand and expressed very clearly.

Comprehensive passive defense can make India defeated quickly. The only way to save the situation is to launch an appropriate counterattack at the right time, and a quick and powerful counterattack. Obviously, it is not the Western Front battlefield that decides victory or defeat in the early stage of the war, but the Eastern Front battlefield dominated by the Chinese army. In other words, if the Indian army is completely defeated on the Eastern Front battlefield, not only will the lower Ganges region with West Bengal as the core will be attacked by the Chinese army, but the neighboring countries that are now waiting and watching will also participate in the war. India will encounter more enemies. If an effective counterattack on the Eastern Front battlefield and thwart China's offensive actions, it is necessary to disperse China's offensive power. The only way to disperse China's offensive power is to create trouble in other directions. Forcing China to invest more troops in the Western Front battlefield. From a longer-term perspective,

The final victory or defeat is not the Eastern Front battlefield. But the Western Front battlefield. As long as China's purpose is to overthrow the Indian regime, it must conquer New Delhi. It must make a difference in the Western Front battlefield. This requires India to seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack on the Western Front battlefield before Pakistan completes its national war mobilization. It will not only reduce the pressure in the Kashmir region, but also cause great trouble to Pakistan. Relatively speaking, launching a counterattack in the southwest direction, that is, launching a counterattack in the lower reaches of the Indus River is more effective than launching a counterattack in Kashmir. In any case, China cannot defeat Pakistan and will inevitably make a difference at this time. Without being able to send more ground troops to Pakistan, China's only choice is to let the naval fleet entering the Indian Ocean go to the Arabian Sea and guard the southern gate for Pakistan.

Rurajapani understood this truth. He just didn't rush to express his opinion, but turned his attention to Gujarad.

"Myong doubts, we must launch a resolute and effective counterattack as soon as possible to reverse the situation." Gujarad knew more about the situation on the ground battlefield than Fernandez. "On the Eastern Front battlefield, defense can only be the main focus in the short term. As the Chinese army occupied Siliguri and Jischengenjie, we lost air supremacy. Unless a new ground passage is opened, we will not be able to provide support to the troops in the eastern region. There is already enough... Hu Zhengming. China's bow-guard army

Having arrived in Siligujia, it is expected to be put into battle within 2:2. Mu Yong suspected that China has the most powerful air transport force in the world. According to the data provided by the Pentagon of the United States, China's air transport force can guarantee the logistics support of at least four main forces. According to the strength of our army and the Chinese army, the four main field troops can defeat our ground forces deployed in the eastern region within half a month or even ten days.

Rurajapani's brow jumped a few times and said, "In other words, it's only a matter of time before we lose the eastern region."

The thug cannot say that. It depends on what we can do." Gujarad tried to control his tone and made people feel very calm." I agree with General Fernandez's proposal to launch a limited counterattack on the Western Front battlefield, forcing China to rescue Pakistan, but I do not agree with launching a counterattack in the southwest direction. As General Fernandez said, if our army enters the Indus Delta, the Chinese fleet will inevitably rush to the Arabian Sea. We have lost the sea control power, even if only three aircraft carrier battle groups arrive in the Arabian Sea. Its comprehensive strike capability is equivalent to three tactical aviation corps and five field artillery brigades. In this case, as long as the Pakistani army defends its position, no matter how much force our army invests, it is impossible to obtain it in the Indus Delta region.

Progress. More importantly, the Indus Delta State is too far from Kashmir. The strategic significance of the counterattack is not obvious. My suggestion is to choose a breakthrough between the central Western Front, which is the upper reaches of the Satledge River, between Giratiyangmen and Lahore and attack the most prosperous Punjab province in Pakistan. As long as our army makes a breakthrough in this direction, it can not only pose a threat to the strategic transportation line from Karachi to Islamabad, but also pose a threat to the Pakistani flanks in the Kashmir region. Force the Pakistani army to adjust its offensive deployment. More importantly, in combat in this area, we basically do not need to consider the impact of the Chinese fleet on offensive operations. In this way, China has only two ways to save Pakistan, one is to directly send troops to participate in ground combat, and the other is to invest more air forces on the Western Front.

Rurajapani nodded and signaled Gujarad to continue.

Thugs From the actual situation, China is likely to adopt a two-pronged strategy. It is both invested in the ground forces and strengthened air force, thereby defeating our attack at the fastest speed. Gujarad paused for a moment and said, "In this case, we must ensure that the counterattack lasts for several days and need to invest enough combat troops. Because our army's main counterattack direction is in the east, I suggest to invest in the second-line troops and reserves. After the battle begins, the Chinese army is likely to send wounded troops, as well as the lead troops and troops who have entered Pakistan to participate in the battle. Only when it is forced will the two airborne troops that have not participated in the battle so far. In the air, the Chinese Air Force needs to send at least 500 more combat aircraft. As long as this small goal is achieved, we can launch a counterattack on the Eastern Front when the Chinese army divides its troops.

The question is. Can we fight back with Jischengenjie and Siliguri?"

Hearing Fernandez's question, Gujarad sneered and said, "It is undeniable that the Chinese army has very strong combat effectiveness. Without air supremacy and firepower is inferior to that of the opponent, it is difficult for our army to break through the defense line between the sword army and the occupying army from the front, and it is difficult to defeat Jischengenje and Siliguri. The problem now is that it is not whether we can defend the Eastern Front, but whether we can make the Chinese army pay a greater price on the Eastern Front, stay longer, so that we can complete strategic mobilization and form more combat troops. The situation feedback from all aspects proves that the Chinese army strives to fight quickly and decide quickly. We do not want to fight a protracted war with us. The Chinese army first launched an attack on the Eastern Front battlefield, except for infrastructure.

In addition, its fundamental purpose is to force us to engage in a war on two fronts. Mu Yong doubted that the Chinese army would sweep the eastern region as fast as possible, then go south to attack West Bengal and obtain the port of Canning. After that, the Chinese army will inevitably turn its main force to the western front battlefield and launch a caliper-shaped offensive against our country. We cannot take care of each other from the front, and finally defeat us through two fronts. The only way to defeat the Chinese army is to first defend the Eastern front battlefield, gain more time on the Eastern front, and break one of the arm of the Chinese army. As long as we can get enough time on the Eastern front, we will have enough time to complete the war mobilization and withstand the attacks of the Chinese and Pakistani army on the Western front, thereby avoiding fighting on two fronts.

When Gujarad finished speaking, Fernandez hesitated for a moment and did not ask Ran’s questions again.

"General Gujarad, do you have any good suggestions?" Rurajapani brought the topic to specific questions.

"My suggestion is to bypass Gishingjay and Siliguri, and use Bangladesh to increase troops to the eastern region."

This sentence is very short, but it has a huge shocking effect.

Gujarad finished his comments and the conference room was in full swing.

Rurajapani breathed a sigh of relief and looked very hesitant.

The reason is very simple. If the Indian army enters Bangladesh without permission, India will in fact invade Bangladesh, thus changing the nature of the war. As a politician, Lurajapani must consider the bad consequences caused. There is no doubt that in the current situation, Bangladesh will not allow the Indian army to pass through and even take the initiative to fight against the Indian army. Bangladesh's only choice is to go to China for help. He begs China to send troops to deal with the Indian army. Lurajapani must also consider the domino effect caused by this. Being invaded at the mouth of Mengyijiang? Later, the Kenshin Army on other countries bordering India will join the Chinese camp for self-concern. At that time, India will be surrounded by enemies. Not to mention winning the war, it would be a blessing to not be dismembered by neighboring countries.

After a while of debate, Gujarad still sticks to his claims.

The actual situation is that India is facing a set of deadlocks. As Gujarad said, if reinforcements cannot be sent to the eastern region in time, the Chinese army will complete the Eastern Front combat operation between ten days and half a month. With 2 airborne troops and several strategic reactive armies, the Chinese army has enough strength to launch a new attack on the Western Front battlefield without participating in the war, and will not give India any chance to breathe. As long as the Chinese army leads the Western Front battle, it is only a matter of time before India loses its capital, New Delhi. From a large extent

The above-mentioned fact that the capture of New Delhi will be a major turning point in the war. As long as the Chinese army occupy New Delhi, the war will be declared over. At that time, what the Indian army will have to deal with is not the Chinese army, but the puppet regime in northern India armed by China. For India, losing the capital is equivalent to a complete defeat. Even if it can establish a regime in the south and deal with the invaders with a protracted war of attrition, China may not necessarily fight a protracted war with India. It may not necessarily allow India to establish a new regime in the southern region.

In other words, India cannot lose its capital, and it cannot allow the Chinese army to launch a full-scale attack on the Western Front battlefield before the strategic mobilization is completed. The only way to achieve this is to drag the Chinese army forward on the Eastern Front battlefield and gain more time.

Rurajapani had no choice but to borrow from Bangladesh.

Knocking the table and stopping the topic still being discussed, Rulajapani glanced at the sitting soldiers and said, "General Gujarad is right. We must buy more time on the Eastern Front battlefield. The Army Command submits a complete combat plan as soon as possible, and the General Staff must provide comprehensive cooperation. From now on, we must transfer important industrial facilities to the southern region as quickly as possible to ensure our military production capacity and prepare for the long-term war of resistance. There is no doubt that the Chinese Air Force will not stand by and will definitely bomb our country's transportation infrastructure. Although our strength is far inferior to our opponents, we must ensure the air safety of key areas.

After saying that, Rurajapani turned his attention to Air Force Chief of Staff Xiyoudon.

It can be said that in this room, Hieutun's identity is the most embarrassing.

On the first day of the war, the Indian Air Force was completely defeated. In addition to some fighter jets that fled to the southern region and could also take off to fight, the air defense forces in northern India suffered a devastating blow. The more serious problem is that as the Chinese naval fleet enters the Indian Ocean, it will definitely bomb air bases and air defense facilities in southern India, and assist the Chinese Air Force in seizing India's air supremacy. It is only a matter of time that the Indian Air Force has been wiped out, and it is only a matter of time that Hiyotun becomes the commander of the barely. Faced with the Prime Minister's request, Hiyotun nodded in agreement.

He was not sure how far it could be achieved and whether the strategic transfer could be carried out safely.

Rulajapani did not force it, after all, the facts cannot be changed by personal will.

Speaking of the last issue, that is, during the strategic mobilization, Rurajapani asked the secretary to distribute the prepared documents to the participating generals.

Thug: I have signed the war mobilization order, and all citizens suitable for military service will obey the national recruitment." Lulajapani paused for a moment, and waited until most generals opened the documents. He said, "I know that each is a professional soldier, an excellent soldier with the national interests and the survival of the nation as his primary responsibility. When the country needs soldiers, I believe that each will not betray the country because of personal emotional problems. The first batch of recruitment orders have been issued. At this time, it has been sent to the recruited personnel. Of course, from the actual situation, you have made great contributions to the country, so I arranged each of the descendants in the capital garrison. Unless we need to use all our strength to defend New Delhi, each of the descendants will not charge on the battlefield like ordinary civilians.

Silence, dead silence.

Several generals' hands began to tremble, as everyone realized that the Prime Minister had begun to act.

Recruiting offspring from senior generals to serve is not to expand the army, after all, the generals will not have many offspring. Together, at most, an infantry regiment will not play much role in large-scale wars. Lulajapani's intention is clear: control the army by controlling the offspring of senior generals and ensure that all senior generals are loyal to him.

In other words, the recruited senior general's descendants became hostages in the hands of Rurajapani.

Although everyone was unhappy, no one rushed to object.

Before the New Year, no one dared to doubt Rulajapani's skills and courage. Now, the Indian generals finally knew that the prime minister who led India was not a coward, but an iron-fisted strongman.

At the end of the meeting, all the generals were in a very heavy mood.

Controlling the army is only the first step for Rulajapani to fully control India. What he wants to do next is to use the army that is loyal to him to rectify the domestic order of India and restore the confidence and fighting spirit of the people to resist foreign enemies. To achieve this goal, Rulajapani must do one thing, a very important thing.

Thinking of this, the general who had a close relationship with the interest group naturally could not go back to sleep with peace of mind.
