Chapter 1172 Rhapsody of the South Asian Subcontinent (first update, please subscribe)
As the capital, New Delhi has a long history.
59 years ago, in order to better rule India, Delhi became the capital of British India. Subsequently, British India began to build a new city southwest of Delhi, namely New Delhi. After India became independent, New Delhi was its capital.
So, if you don’t count the old city, this is definitely a young city. Because of this, unlike the chaotic old cities filled with Indian construction, New Delhi’s planning is modern, with modern streets. , modern architecture, modern... only the country is not modern.
Even though it has been independent for more than ten years, this country is still in chaos - India has been a social form with hundreds of princely states for thousands of years, with huge influence on religions, ethnic groups, and society. , cultural differences, caste system constraints, typical feudal agricultural social form. Of course, what is even more deadly is that there are more than a dozen independent countries in the hinterland of India - independent princely states.
Those independent princely states had their own governments, armies, banks, banknotes, and even their own joint parliaments. Their presence divided the entire India.
"If India wants to develop, it must achieve reunification. This reunification is not by force, but by peace. We must unite together to create a better future..."
< br>Since the failure of the military adventure more than ten years ago, Nehru suddenly became a pacifist. He advocated peaceful reunification and common development, India should strengthen itself, etc. This kind of nonsense has been talked about for more than ten years, but the effect is that several small states have joined India one after another.
With the guarantee of India, the princes continued to maintain their rule as they did in the British colonial era. They lived a luxurious life and did not even need to be responsible for any defense expenditures - all of which were borne by India. , and India also promised that they will live like this forever.
In fact, the requirements of most feudal lords are very simple - just continue to maintain their rule and life. As for things like becoming a powerful country, they have never thought about it. Now that India is willing to be like the British colonial era and promised that there will be no changes, how can they refuse?
In this way, after several examples were set, soon, under the long-term efforts of the commissioner for the affairs of the princely states, the thirty-nine independent princely states were now independent, and now only seven large princely states remained independent. It has to be said that people are still easily deceived.
“Nehru’s words... no one believes it!”
Looking at the city outside the window, recalling the changes in the South Asian subcontinent in the past few years, Benediktov sneered secretly , as the Soviet ambassador to India, he knew very well that Nehru had been preparing for war, just for the reunification of the country.
In the past ten years, Nehru followed the path of the Soviet Union and began to develop a series of basic industries and heavy industries, and classified a large number of enterprises related to the national economy and people's livelihood as state-owned.
At the same time, he visited the Soviet Union many times. His pro-Soviet performance won all-round assistance from the Soviet Union. He not only sold new tanks and aircraft, but also directly helped India build a defense industry.
What did Nehru do all this for?
Of course it is for his dream of reunification!
But his unification also needs support from the Soviet Union!
In this way, Benediktov stared at the city outside the car window while thinking about the conversation that was going to happen next.
The black BMW car is driving on the streets of New Delhi. The air conditioner on the car makes people feel extremely comfortable. This is why BMW cars have swept through luxury cars from all over the world in the past ten years and become the top luxury car. However, even as the Soviet ambassador, Benediktov's car is a BMW. There is no way, Nanyang, as a thug in the Western world, still has many good things.
Finally, the car drove into the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi, and soon Benediktov met Nehru. As soon as the two met, Nehru immediately expressed his gratitude - just a few months ago, the Soviet Union had just agreed to sell 19 MiG-19 fighters and authorized India to establish a factory that can produce spare parts.
"Mr. Ambassador, with these weapons, India's security will be further guaranteed, and we can easily respond to any provocation."
Nehru was grateful, Of course, we have not forgotten to seek further assistance. In the past few years, India has imported weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the Soviet Union. Unlike the army in history that was equipped with old World War II weapons, the current Indian army is not only equipped with a large number of Soviet-style weapons, and Soviet advisers to help them train their troops.
What is the purpose of everything he does?
"Mr. Prime Minister, I am here this time to tell you some good news."
Benediktov looked at Nehru and said:
“Moscow has decided to support India in using all necessary means to achieve national reunification.”
Hearing this, Nehru only felt With a surge of blood, he looked at Benediktov and said:
"This, this...please, please express my gratitude to Moscow on my behalf!"
While speaking, he even rubbed his hands involuntarily, with unconcealable excitement in his expression , In fact, India had completed military preparations for unification as early as two years ago.
But the reason why no action was taken was because there was no support from major powers.
If India wants to annex those countries, it must have a big country standing in the United Nations to speak for them. Although countries such as Hyderabad have not been able to join the United Nations so far - because of India's opposition, or in other words, in At the request of India, and despite the opposition of the Soviet Union and other countries, the proposal for the princely states to join the United Nations has always been vetoed. In other words, at this moment, his independent status is not recognized by the international community, which gives the Indians great room for maneuver.
But things are not that simple.
Just having room for maneuver cannot completely solve the problem. They also need big countries to stand up and speak for them at the United Nations.
The Soviet Union is India's only choice.
In the past ten years, Nehru had racked his brains to win the support of the Soviet Union, and even just refused to allow the Soviet Union to establish a military base in India.
Now the sudden good news even made him feel a little unreal.
This matter came too easily.
“Please believe in Moscow that India will definitely repay the Soviet Union’s support for us.”
“Mr. Prime Minister, you are too polite. This is a decision based on friendship!”
Benediktov had long been mentally prepared for Nehru's gratitude, and then he went on to say: "And in order to show support for the unification of India, we will provide you with a sum of no less than 50 million rubles. Arms loan!”
Such a big gift package... is too big!
As Prime Minister, Nehru immediately realized that the Soviets' bread might not be so easy to eat, and they must have something up their sleeve.
So he said straightforwardly:
"This... this is really surprising, but do I need to do anything?"
"Our request is very simple."
Looking at Nehru in front of him, Bei Nidiktov made a request:
“We hope that you can take appropriate actions before July 15th.”
There are only a few days before July 15th.
Faced with this request, Nehru fell into silence. This request is too unrealistic. This is a military operation to invade several countries at the same time. Don't they know that war requires time to prepare?
"Mr. Ambassador, I'm afraid this will be difficult. We need time to prepare."
"Mr. Prime Minister, you have been preparing for a long time and are fully capable of completing all this,"
As the Soviet ambassador, Benediktov knew very well the extent of India's preparations. After all, the Soviet army had hundreds of military advisers in the Indian military. They helped the Indians train their troops and formulate plans. The Indian army's preparations are not well understood, but they are also very well understood.
“And this is exactly what Moscow needs!”
Benediktov deliberately emphasized the word "need", and Nehru, as a politician, immediately understood what he meant.
“The Russians are not helping us!”
In the Prime Minister’s Office, Krishnan Menon, the Minister of Defense, said directly and honestly:
"They need us to help them distract international attention. They must be taking actions elsewhere."
"Other places? What place is it? Is it Hungary? They are using us as a cover!"
Before the chief of staff finished speaking, Nehru said:
“These are not important. What is important is that we need the support of the Russians. Without their support, as early as five years ago, Hyderabad and other Turkish If this happens, we will have to face the reality of a divided country. Now more than ever, we need the support of the Russians. We not only need their weapons, but we also need them to help us in the United Nations. To distract the pressure from other countries, as for taking advantage of..."
Nehru smiled helplessly.
“At least we still have value now, which also means that we can use this value to win more assistance. This is our only wish to achieve reunification, if India wants to become a country” "A great and prosperous country", we must first achieve the reunification of the country, otherwise, everything is empty talk!"
Yes, everything is empty talk!
"The unification of the country is the key to the rise of India. No matter what, the unification of the country must be achieved, no matter how much it costs, now..."
Looking around at the people in the office, Ni Heru asked:
"Can we complete preparations and implement our plan before the 15th?"
Facing the inquiry, Krishnan Menon fell into deep thought. , after a moment, he said:
“We have been preparing for all this, and the army is also looking forward to this day. We can complete all preparations in the last few days because we have been waiting This day.
The only problem is Nanyang. As we all know, the relationship between Tubang and Nanyang is extremely friendly, and it was with the support of Nanyang's Black Knight Company that they defeated our army.
Now, although the collective security forces hired by the feudal states have been reduced to a display, what if Nanyang intervenes? We must consider this possibility! ”
“This possibility needs to be considered! "
The chief of staff on the side sneered:
"So, we must complete the mission and occupy the established target before Nanyang intervenes. After creating a fait accompli, even if Nanyang wants to intervene, It's too late! ”
Taking a deep breath, he added:
"That is to say, we need to fight quickly. In this regard, the Soviet advisers have helped us further improve the combat plan. I believe that we will definitely be able to solve all the problems before Nanyang intervenes. Question. "
In the past few years, India has been preparing for this war. Not only has it introduced a large number of weapons from the Soviet Union, but Soviet advisers are also helping them train their troops to formulate combat plans, all The core of the battle plan is-the battle must be ended before foreign forces interfere!
