When the Chinese frequently mobilized troops through the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, although the Indian army knew that it had a border conflict with China, Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is a moderate politician and has always advocated peace with Pakistan. China has repaired and developed political and diplomatic relations with major powers. After the crisis broke out in southern Tibet, Vajpayee believed that the military's handling of the crisis was quite inappropriate and created greater hidden dangers. At the same time, it is extremely unwise to have unprovoked exchanges of fire and conflicts with the Chinese army on the border, which has created a rift between the government and the military.
And India never thought that because of some rebellious students in southern Tibet, China would be determined to launch a war to resolve border and disputed territorial issues that had been put on hold with India for decades. According to normal logic, both parties should exercise restraint after the conflict and rely on negotiation to resolve the dispute. But in this matter, China has no intention of making peace with India.
Therefore, the tens of thousands of Indian troops stationed in southern Tibet are still in a relatively ignorant state. They do not know that huge dangers are coming from the north. They are still busy purging the social order in southern Tibet and at the same time cracking down on some local unsettled elements. Exclusion and punishment.
It is said that during the Sino-Indian War in 1962, the residents of southern Tibet were never afraid of the PLA crossing the border, but when they encountered the Indian army, they ran as far as they could. The Indians did not regard southern Tibet as their own. The land is more of an occupied territory or a colony. The Indian army has had a strong mercenary nature since the colonial period. Its combat quality is not too bad, but relatively speaking, it is very backward in discipline and ideology.
The Indian army caused great harm in southern Tibet. A large number of local women were raped. The Indian army also caused serious losses and injuries to the local tribes. In the memory of the older generation of southern Tibetan residents, there is still a lingering fear. .
At this time, the Indian army basically carried forward the style of the Indian army back then, with disturbing the people and destruction as its main actions. The purge work in southern Tibet was very rough, and it caused certain casualties and property losses. The Indian army imposed martial law and curfew in southern Tibet, prohibiting people from taking to the streets to participate in any opportunity activities, and even preventing any way of expressing personal opinions. However, after all, the Indian army is still relatively new to this kind of work, and has not cut off local communications with the outside world, especially network communications. There are still a large number of inquiries being relayed and exposed to the world. Of course, this process is indispensable with the encouragement of China¡¯s Strategic Bureau.
??Among all the pictures and video materials that have been circulated, the one that has had the greatest impact is a video that was not shot very clearly. The main content of the video is that a local resident in southern Tibet waved a five-star red flag on a building and made an angry look at the Indian soldiers downstairs. People judged that the man was angry because of the sabotage actions of the Indian army, so he waved the Chinese flag to mock and insult the Indian army.
In fact, Indians have always had an inferiority complex towards the Chinese. They are both ancient civilizations, but Chinese culture continues to this day. After experiencing some twists and turns in modern times, China has developed rapidly in recent years and has become one of the world's top superpowers. Big country. When India and China first became independent, India's situation was obviously much better than China's. However, after so many years, it has been overtaken by China, and now it is further and further behind. Not only in terms of economic and national strength, the border war in 1962 also proved that Indians were inferior to the Chinese in terms of fighting. India at that time was full of fear of China.
And the inferiority complex towards the Chinese can easily develop into using the residents of southern Tibet who are related to the Chinese to vent their emotions. The Indians themselves are not as good as the Chinese, but they feel they are better than the residents of Northeast India, so they treat them roughly.
When this man in southern Tibet displayed the Chinese flag, it aroused the anger of the Indians. Several Indian soldiers directly raised their guns and shot him to death. This man was shot nearly a hundred times, and even his body was covered with bullets. there is none left. And this did not alleviate the anger of the Indian soldiers. These Indian soldiers rushed forward and trampled on the five-star red flag that had been riddled with holes. Finally, they lit a fire and burned the red flag. .
The entire process of killing people and burning flags was filmed by residents of southern Tibet in the building on the other side. Later, the video spread to the Internet and was widely reproduced by some media, especially Chinese media. Although after years of construction, the personal quality of the Chinese people has improved, and although it may not necessarily catch up with the level of developed countries, it is still worthy of praise. However, once such a video was released, many Chinese people were unable to remain calm and rational. Combined with the explanation packages on the southern Tibetan issue and the Sino-Indian border issue that some people posted online, there was a voice in the country demanding that the country fight back against India. At the same time, we will retake southern Tibet and end the discrimination and persecution of Indians against their compatriots.
Originally, just the voices of netizens might not have done much, but soon, picture news of the Chinese army crossing the actual control line on the Sino-Indian border and marching into southern Tibet came again. It seems that China is reallyThe troops are dispatched!
Although most people know that this war was not caused by Indian soldiers burning the Chinese flag. In fact, because of China¡¯s development and growth, more and more foreigners are willing to burn the Chinese flag in recent years. China cannot be blamed for who burned the Chinese flag. If you use your own flag, you will cause trouble for others. Even if China had other reasons for sending troops, this war is still called by many people a "war caused by a burned flag," or a "flag revenge war" or a "flag-burning war."¡ª¡ª

Qi Yiming sat in front of the bed and fed the old man soup with gentle movements. The old man on the hospital bed may have retired a long time ago and had less things to worry about. Coupled with better medical conditions and some help from the base, Qi Yiming did not die like in another dimension. In 1997, he has lived till now.
But even though he had lost his life for several years, he was already old after all, and life was rapidly passing away from his withered body. After the weather got cold, the old man became more and more tired. Now he can no longer go to the ground and can only lie in bed.
"Yi Ming, are you at war with India?" The old man's voice was low, but the words were still very clear.
"There were sporadic exchanges of fire on the border, but we all took advantage without any damage. We killed and captured many of them. The PLA's large forces were almost in place at this time. With just one order, they could cross the mountains and enter southern Tibet. Recover our land." Qi Yiming put down his soup bowl and reported to the old man.
The old man smiled a little and said: "The battle back then was so frustrating. We obviously won, but we couldn't keep the victory. I know there has been a lot of criticism about that war over the years, which is normal, but If it were up to us old guys to make another decision, I'm afraid we would still have to return it What you did today is actually paying back the debt we owed back then, alas."
Many people like to blame the victory or failure of the Sino-Indian War in 1962 on a certain person. Although it cannot be said that the decision-makers made absolutely no mistakes, there were still many realistic factors that year. Sufficient logistics cannot be guaranteed on the plateau, the entire country is still in crisis of natural disasters, the damage of the Great Leap Forward is fermenting, and so on. Anyway, this is what has happened. Regret is inevitable, but there is no need to get too hung up on it.
The old man added: "India is much worse than us now. Even if we fight in a place with difficult conditions like southern Tibet, we are very sure. But, to what scale do you want to develop this war? The United States has been To win over India as their important ally in South Asia, and that George W. Bush seems to be a stupid guy, he is not afraid of the coming of war. Now we are walking a tightrope."
Qi Yiming said: "Our preparations are almost ready, and the clouds of war have descended. Even if we don't launch in southern Tibet, the Americans will launch in Iraq. There is no difference. Instead of putting the initiative in the hands of the Americans, It is better to let us control it. Moreover, the disputed territorial disputes between us and India cannot be reconciled, and India cannot coexist harmoniously with us. Moreover, it is not suitable for such a big country to appear among our neighbors."
The old man nodded after hearing this, but then coughed violently. Qi Yiming quickly picked up a glass of warm water and asked the old man to calm down. When the old man's cough subsided, he said again: "I am a hundred years old, I am afraid I am I won¡¯t live long, but living to be ninety-nine sounds much more auspicious than being a hundred.¡±
Qi Yiming said: "You can live another ninety-nine years!"
The old man looked at him and said: "You are already in your thirties, and you still look like you just met you. I believe you will live another ninety-nine years, but it is impossible for me."
Immediately the old man said again: "Our generation has witnessed the country's transformation from being bullied, chaotic and broken, poor and weak, to the founding of New China, its initial development, to its great development in the new era, and even to today becoming the world's largest country." The most powerful country is worth it. I am afraid that this war will still last for several years. After all, I may not be able to see the grand occasion when China will truly reach the top of the world after the war, but it is quite good to predict this day. Good thing¡¡"
The old man¡¯s voice became deeper. Qi Yiming was startled and wanted to check the old man¡¯s physical signs. The old man raised his hand and said: "Don't stay here. You are also a busy person. You should go and do your business. I guess people like you are indispensable everywhere now. I am tired and need to rest." It¡¯ll be a while, go, go.¡±
The special nurse came over and pulled Qi Yiming to signal him to leave and let the old man rest. Qi Yiming nodded and looked at the old man sleeping with his eyelids closed, feeling a little sad for a moment.
