Volume Nine, Undercurrent, Chapter 39, Right in the Heart
In his sleep, Rajapani was pulled from the bed by the guards. When he rushed to the suburbs and waved his mouth to the center, he realized that the war had broken out. When he saw several ministers who were also rushing to come, Rurajapani was still wearing silk pajamas. The Prime Minister was not embarrassed because the whole person was wearing pajamas.
The situation was very chaotic, which made Rurajapani very angry.
When the war broke out, neither the General Staff of the Indian Army nor the Third Army Command reported the battle situation as soon as possible!
What made Lurajapani even more angry was that no one knew the specific direction of the battle. Although the Eastern Theater Command was the first to send a message of being bombed, when Lurajapani arrived at the strategic command center, he still did not contact the Western Theater Command, so he could not know whether the western region was hit.
Rurajapani's anger is completely understandable.
When the Prime Minister is most in need of strategic decisions, it is not clear whether this is a war initiated by China or a war initiated by China and Pakistan. The two have completely different results. If China initiates the war alone, then China's purpose must be very limited and does not intend to fight a large-scale regional war, otherwise China will definitely act with Pakistan. If it is just a local conflict, India still has room for circles. At most, it will make concessions after military occupation becomes a fact, and there is no need to fight to the death with China. If it is a large-scale regional war, India will have to fight all its capital, and the faster the better.
News came one after another, and it was in chaos.
First, the theater air defense center near Shillong reported being bombed, and then the communication was interrupted, and the specific situation of the bombing could not be known. Then, the Dibrueger Military Camp, Guwahati Air Force Base and Kuchbihar Army Camp reported being hit by air, and the communication was interrupted again. No one could figure out the situation of the three military bases.
The war has come to this point, let alone Lulajapani, even the Indian generals do not hold anything
.
China's military advantage is very obvious. Even if India resists with all its might, it will only suffer greater losses, causing a large number of weapons and equipment introduced from abroad to turn into scrap copper and iron, turning 10,000-year-old Indian soldiers into dry bones, and creating thousands of widows and orphans.
There is no way to fight this battle!
Reef thugs Fen, Lurajapani received the first accurate report, but this is not good news.
The Chinese Navy's carrier-based early warning aircraft appeared over the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Bengal. Although it did not enter Indian airspace, it was enough to monitor all military bases in southern India.
Just surveillance?
Rulajapani didn't believe it.
4 early warning aircraft means that the Chinese Navy's three aircraft carrier battle groups, even four aircraft carrier battle groups, have entered the Indian Ocean and are hovering near India. Because according to the general situation, an aircraft carrier carrying 4 early warning aircraft will be dispatched at most to carry out long-range surveillance missions, and sufficient early warning aircraft must be left to perform fleet air defense missions.
In a panic, Rurajapani overlooked a very important issue.
The battle groups of the "Huangdi" and the "Yandi" aircraft carriers have been active in the South China Sea. A little before they came out, the United States also provided relevant information to India. Even if the aircraft carriers are nuclear powered and can sail at the fastest speed for several days, it is impossible to enter the Indian Ocean in the second phase through the Strait of Malacca or the Sunda Strait within time. Besides, the US submarines have been active in the Strait of Malacca and Sunda Strait, and there is also a US aircraft carrier battle group that is active in the waters of the Anambas Islands. The Chinese aviation thugs' mother battle group will definitely be discovered by the US military, and India can obtain information in advance.
The reason why Rurajapani panicked was simple: the four aircraft carrier battle groups had devastating strike power.
Even if the carrier-based fighter jets are configured according to normal conditions, the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier can carry and lead 6 fighters, plus the "Republic" Zhaofenge, there are a total of built-in fighters. This strike force can easily destroy India's air defense system, defeat the Indian Air Force, and eliminate the Indian Navy!
China has sent four aircraft carrier battle groups into the Indian Ocean. It has a more important purpose: to seize sea control.
As long as China seizes sea control power, it can impose a strategic blockade on India.
The strategic blockade began and the war broke out in full swing.
In other words, this is not a local conflict. It is a large-scale war!
The first reaction of Lurajapani was to let the navy's two aircraft carrier battle groups stay within the cover of the shore-based fighter jets and not act rashly. According to Lurajapani's guess, the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group entering the Indian Ocean is looking for two Indian aircraft carrier battle groups that will leave the port at the end of the month. Their primary task is to kill the Indian Navy.
The survival of India lies in the control of sea power, and the hope of controlling sea power lies in the navy, and the hope of the navy is the aircraft carrier battle group.
If the aircraft carrier battle group is thrown away too early, India will be completely ruined!
After the reef blade was broken, Lurajapani finally contacted the Western Theater Command.
After receiving the report from the Western Theater Command, Rurajapani was immediately confused.
Western Front
How is that possible!?
China has allowed the aircraft carrier battle group to enter the Indian Ocean. It is posing to find a decisive battle in the Indian Navy. Large-scale war is a foregone conclusion. What is the reason for Pakistan to watch the fire across the river? Even if Pakistan does not want to participate in the war, China has the ability to launch an offensive in the west, forcing the Indian army to fight on both sides. Defeat India at a faster speed.
Unreasonable, completely unreasonable!
There must be a problem!
The first thing that Rurajapani thought of was the reason why China was creating a war for expanding husbands.
In other words, China first launched an attack on the eastern battlefield. In the name of regaining southern Tibet, as long as the scale of the war does not expand, China will not be criticized, at least it will not be strongly criticized by the Western world. In order to expand the scale of the war and fundamentally defeat India, China must obtain a more sufficient reason. Of course, the best reason is that the Indian army crossed the actual control line of Kashmir and opened fire on the Pakistani army. It triggered the India-Pakistan war, and China then participated in the war as a Pakistani allies to expand the scale of the war.
Recalling the thugs' border firefighting incident that occurred in southern Tibet a day ago, Lulajapani affirmed this speculation.
More importantly, China can make India fatal mistakes without making any small moves.
The battle on the eastern battlefield started, and China imposed suppressed electromagnetic interference on India, causing India's military command system to be paralyzed, allowing the aircraft carrier battle group to enter the Indian Ocean and pose as a large-scale war. If Lurajapani issued a counterattack order as soon as possible, he would definitely launch a counterattack in both east and west directions at the same time. The Indian army would cross the actual control line of Kashmir and enter the Pakistan-controlled area, thus triggering the India-Pakistan war.
Thinking of this, Rurajapani immediately ordered the ground troops in the Western Theater Command to remain unmoved.
If ground troops fail to act, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
With a clever affair, Rurajapani personally issued an order to the Air Force Chief of Staff, telling the Air Force not to go out.
If you can't beat China, you can't fight with China, and you can't give China a reason to expand the war!
When Rurajapani issued the order, the Indian Air Force combat forces near the Eastern Theater Command had entered combat state, and hundreds of fighter jets were already on the runway with ammunition, making final preparations before takeoff.
It was the Prime Minister's direct order that left the Indian Air Force fighter jets on the ground.
Obviously, Pei Chengyi could not guess the real reason why the Indian Air Force did not participate in the war.
It has to be admitted that Rurajapani's actions saved India to a large extent.
At that time, the Pakistani president had received news that he had issued combat orders to the troops in the Kashmir region. As long as the Indian army launches an attack, or if the Indian Air Force fighter jets enter the Pakistani control area, the Pakistani army will follow the strategic counterattack plan and launch an attack.
Pakistan joins the war, and the situation will inevitably lose its drug control!
It was not until around 4 o'clock that Rurajapani received the accurate news.
Indeed, there were only battles in the eastern region. Moreover, China did not invest much army.
At this time, the Indian government minister and military generals who were also at the strategic command center did not notice it. Rurajapani breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became much more relaxed.
After ordering the Indian army in the eastern region to hold its position, Rurajapani went to the Prime Minister's office alone.
The situation is clearer, but this is just a regional conflict of limited size.
Rurajapani needs to do two things immediately. One is to speak with the Chinese head of state, hoping that China can end its military operations immediately; the other is to speak with the US president to report on the war
condition.
It is not difficult to talk to Wang Yuanqing on the phone. After all, the initiative is in China's hands, and Wang Yuanqing has the final say on what the war will look like. What Rulajapani can do is just put down his posture. It implies that as long as China does not expand the scope of the attack, India can make concessions and recognize the fait accompli.
It's very difficult to talk to Westwood to the hotline.
Rurajapani thought for a long time before he got the secretary to the phone call connected to the White House. If the situation of the war is too simple, it will definitely not be possible to threaten the United States to provide more aid. If the situation of the war is too complicated, it may turn the United States into a turtle. Only by saying it is not light or serious, which makes the United States think that the situation is very unfavorable to India, and also makes the United States think that India is confident of defeating China's invasion, can it "impress" the United States, let the United States realize the importance of India, and believe that India can weaken China's national strength through this war, help the United States restrain China, and thus provide India with various military aid at all costs.
If you suffer losses on the battlefield, you have to find some compensation outside the battlefield.
If southern Tibet can be exchanged for comprehensive military aid from the United States, in Rurajapani's view, it is also an ideal way to utilize southern Tibet. As long as India is preserved and India can become stronger, today's losses will be recovered in the near future!
Lulajapani didn't know that his decision happened to hit Wang Yuanqing's thoughts.
