Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee seemed anxious and anxious in his phone call to US President George W. Bush, "The Chinese and Pakistanis sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to invade Punjab in three directions. Our army is not enough to resist their invasion. We lack soldiers." , lack of weapons, lack of supplies, the Chinese and Pakistanis who have tasted the sweetness of this situation will continue to move in. India's life is already hanging by a thread, and we need support from our allies."
Bush replied: "Prime Minister Vajpayee, the crisis that India is suffering is a crisis for all of us in NATO. We sympathize with India's experience, but we must continue to support India and provide materials, weapons and reinforcements. We The entire sea route must be opened up. On this issue, that is, the occupation of Madagascar. NATO fleets and ground forces have begun to fight the Chinese here. I believe that as long as India persists for a while and we completely open up this sea route, the entire situation in India will be can be reversed.¡±
Vajpayee wanted to say in his heart: Who knows whether you can defeat the Chinese in Madagascar? After all, the last battle in the Mozambique Strait failed, and judging from the current situation, the Chinese PLAO is very powerful, unlike Looks like he can be defeated easily.
"Just like the plan you made before, Prime Minister, India is a country with a vast territory and rich human resources. India can continue to implement its strategy of 'exchanging space for time.' As long as it persists, reinforcements will definitely arrive. I can give With this commitment, Your Excellency, please have faith in the determination of your allies," Bush continued to persuade.
Vajpayee still complained: "It's just that I'm worried that even if we delay, we won't be able to delay for too long. The gap in national and military power between China and India is really too big. Although I don't want to admit it, China only uses ten One finger can already overwhelm India. Although exchanging space for time sounds good, it is the people and land of India that are being violated and occupied. And if NATO reinforcements do not arrive in time, I am afraid that I will not be the one next time. I called you from New Delhi."
George W. Bush is not completely unkind. He naturally knows the predicament of Vajpayee and the Indians. He is also under tremendous pressure. The United States has not obtained any practical benefits from the Chinese since the war began, and domestic concerns about Questions about the legitimacy of the war are also growing. The United States has recently arrested some anti-war demonstrators and charged them with obstructing wartime order and even espionage. The United States is also struggling.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I understand the concerns of you and your companions. Please insist on holding on for another two to three weeks. NATO fleets and ground forces will break through the Madagascar and Mozambique straits at all costs, and our troops will soon arrive in the subcontinent. , work with the Indian army to defeat and expel the Chinese, I give you this promise." Bush tried his best to describe his words in an unquestionable and sonorous tone to make them sound more credible. It seems that these words did have some effect. Vajpayee calmed down a little, expressed his gratitude to George W. Bush, and sincerely looked forward to the early arrival of NATO reinforcements.
Subsequently, Vajpayee attended the war decision-making meeting in New Delhi. At this time, he received huge domestic criticism. India had lost the entire Northeast region and Jammu Kashmir. Some people had openly declared that Vajpayee was India's sinner. Before the war, he advocated Sino-Indian friendship and advocated easing relations with Pakistan, but it was these two countries that gave them a fatal blow. If it weren't for the current wartime situation and the head of government cannot be easily replaced, I'm afraid he would have been replaced.
Defense Minister Fernandez spoke at the meeting: "Wars are no longer the way they used to be, with manpower and firepower determining the outcome. Our soldiers and generals are so unfamiliar and at a loss when facing the Chinese on the battlefield. , because the Chinese's war model against us has completely changed. Their mechas are massacring our mountain divisions in the mountains and plateaus, and their advanced main battle tanks ignore our armored forces. India can continue to recruit millions. Soldiers are participating in this war, but the war will not change because we have millions of soldiers. Moreover, we cannot even provide enough guns and supplies for these millions of soldiers in the short term. This is the Department of Defense. "The logistics department's negligence, our combat readiness system is old and full of loopholes, so we are paying the price for this mistake."
Vajpayee looked bad and said: "Mr. Fernandez, we are not here for the meeting to hear you tell us about the mistakes we have made and how much worse we are than the Chinese. What we need is to find a way to win and win this war." War, at least protect our land and people."
He glanced at the senior generals present again and said, "Generals, do you have any ideas? If so, now is the time to share it with you."
When the war just broke out, when China had not yet invested huge military power, this group of General Asan was the most noisy group. They waved their fists, danced and clamored for punishment on the Chinese. They evenHe even verbally deduced several "great strategies," including ambushing from all sides to completely eliminate the Chinese invading troops, and even invading Tibet and Yunnan to launch a strategic counterattack against China.
But as the war continues to unfold, the Chinese are driving the Indian army like pigs and sheep on the battlefield. So far, the Indian army has never resisted the Chinese army head-on for more than half an hour. More than 100,000 Indian troops have been defeated and captured, and dozens of Indian troops have been captured. Thousands of square kilometers of land have been occupied, including many Indian generals who have become prisoners. Therefore, when asked what countermeasures these Indian generals had, they no longer had the arrogant self-confidence of the past that they felt they could easily defeat the Chinese. Instead, they shrank their necks and sat there like dull gourds, saying nothing. .
Seeing that no one in the military was speaking, Vajpayee could only name him, "General Shankar, what do you think?"
General Shankar was startled at first, and then hesitantly said: "China's weapons and equipment are too advanced for us. Although our Indian army is brave, warriors armed with stones and wooden sticks will never be able to resist those armed with AK47s." The thugs, if we cannot obtain more advanced weapons, dealing with the Chinese pL will be in vain.¡±
Vajpayee frowned: "You mean, if we don't have fighter jets, mechas, or aircraft carriers, we will only be destroyed by the Chinese?"
General Shankar waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That's not what I meant. I think we will definitely find a way to win this war in East Africa."
At this time, a general came up with a bad idea and said: "Maybe only nuclear weapons can stop the Chinese"
Defense Minister Fernandez turned livid with anger and said: "Nuclear weapons? Do you think we don't die fast enough? We only have about a hundred nuclear warheads in total, but China conservatively estimates that it also has two to thirty thousand nuclear warheads, strategic and tactical, Everything is available, and we lack the launch vehicle to threaten China's hinterland. Even if we attack, will we detonate nuclear bombs on our own land? Once we use nuclear weapons, the Chinese will no longer care, and they will use nuclear weapons across India. And perhaps it only takes a few hundred to wipe the entire Indian nation off the face of the earth. Is this something you would like to see?
The general could only shake his head and said: "Of course not, the result is too bad."
Vajpayee sighed: "Don't think about nuclear weapons. U.S. allies have also informed us that nuclear weapons cannot be used under any circumstances. Once the monster nuclear weapons are released, no one knows what will happen in the end." What has happened? India is not qualified to pay for the collapse of the world.
Fernandez said at this time: "Everyone, although we are not capable of defeating the Chinese on the battlefield, one billion Indians are not easily conquered. I suggest that the government should form guerrillas to attack areas controlled by the Chinese. The Chinese will continue to attack, thus affecting the combat capabilities of the Chinese army. This will be a protracted battle. We will deal with the invaders for a long time until we finally win. The Indian army may be defeated and driven away. But our guerrillas will continue to make it difficult for China to control these occupied areas, thus containing a large number of their troops. Although China is powerful, it also has powerful enemies. When China is involved in the Indian battlefield, it is not just a battlefield. When they lose a large number of troops, they will have difficulties on other battlefields, and the victories of our allies on other battlefields can quickly be transformed into our victory."
? Almost everyone here who has a little knowledge knows that this kind of guerrilla war and protracted war strategy all comes from China¡¯s wisdom in the Anti-Japanese War more than half a century ago. Although China has never defeated Japan technically speaking, Japan ultimately failed and China became the winner. India wants to copy the same process to defeat the countries that created these concepts. It has to be said that it is very bold. Of course, these things do meet India's needs.
However, India is not China, and China is not Japan. Japan is a small country with little national power and resources. However, China today controls tens of millions of square kilometers of land. The Shanghai Alliance has a population of more than one billion and can assemble tens of millions of well-equipped troops. This was the Great Japanese Empire in the past. You can't catch up even if you pat a horse. It can be said that if India uses protracted warfare and guerrilla warfare, it can be regarded as prescribing the right medicine, but it is really hard to say whether it can achieve results.
