Chapter 418: The Land of Regret

It is an established national policy to eat the seven states in the northeast of India, and for the sake of the Indian Ocean's access to the sea, the imperial capital can give up everything, and it will definitely not stop because of two big sphaggers.

Any resistance will be crushed into powder in the cart that is rolling forward at the flower planter!

The nearest major city in the country to the seven states in northeastern India is undoubtedly the capital of the Tibetan province where the Potala Palace is located, from which the highway can be built directly through the Kingdom of Bhutan to enter Assam, and this road is also the closest route from the major cities in the country to control the Siliguri corridor.

The second is to build a high-speed from Rongcheng, the capital of Sichuan and Shu Province, because Rongcheng is the headquarters of the Western Theater Command of the Flower Planter later.

There is also a road from Kuncheng, the capital of Yunnan and Guizhou Province.

In short, it is to use the developed communication lines to closely connect the seven states with the country, which is not only to tie these new territories to the chariot of the flower planters, but also to greatly promote the economy of the southwestern border region, such as Rongcheng and Kuncheng are very likely to obtain huge economic benefits because of their geographical advantages.

However, although the idea is beautiful, when it comes to actual execution, it is completely different.

It is important to know that Assam and Sichuan-Tibet provinces are separated by a Himalayan mountain range, and you have to climb over snow-capped mountains to enter Assam.

There is no need to think about large machinery, there is no road at all, people have to work hard to turn over on two legs, and the only means of transportation is the small donkey. If the snow covers the mountains and the world in winter, not to mention people, even the most hardy yaks will not be able to get by.

Wanting to dig a road in such a harsh environment is no different from Yugong moving mountains.

It is no longer possible to let the army repair, too many militias have been consumed in the direction of Aksai Chin, and all kinds of machinery and equipment must also serve the war first, if the war cannot be won, the mouth of the Indian Ocean is the moon in the water, so it must be guaranteed to win the South Asian war, and the imperial capital can justifiably get this reward.

This war is not without risk!

If we lose, the worst case scenario is that the Soviets will follow Aksai Chin into China, and then we may lose the Tibetan Plateau.

The war is about logistics, so the Military Commission will do whatever it takes to open up three first-class roads to Aksai Chin before the war starts, as long as the logistics supply can keep up with the situation, it will not be much worse, and even if we fight with the Soviets, we can be invincible.

We have the US imperialist as a nurse behind our backs, and it is even more of a problem to fight for troops, if the flower planters launch a ruthless attack, they can explode 100 million infantry, and the Soviet Union will not dare to play so big.

Although there was no surplus engineering troops to build the road, the imperial capital mobilized a large number of civilian forces to build the road to southern Tibet, and the discipline of ordinary workers and the speed of road construction were not as good as those of the engineering soldiers.

But there will be brave men under the heavy reward, nearly a million road construction army drove into the Potala Palace to the Medog line, bombed the mountain and built a bridge to start building the road, in the deep mountains machinery can not enter, naturally there are air cranes and helicopters provided by the United States imperialism to provide air transportation, the construction machinery and oil are transported by air, everyone at the same time from dozens of locations construction, as long as these construction points are connected together, a complete highway is completed.

Needless to say, how hard it is to work in the ice and snow, but for the future of the country, except for the millions of workers who are sick and retired, none of them have retreated, and they are all working desperately!

Because this road is related to the central government's control of the seven northeastern states in the future, and is the main artery for the transportation of materials in the southwest region and the Indian Ocean, there may be countless large trucks running on it day and night in the future, so the requirements for the highway are very high, at least it must be a 12-lane asphalt road.

If the road is too narrow, it will cause traffic jams, and the road surface is too poor to slow down the speed, so the road must be repaired at one time.

The reason why it is only repaired to Metuo is because between Medog and Assam is the Tibet that makes the people dream of returning to Tibet? South, which is now under Indian control, we can't put the engineering team in so openly until the war starts.

Hide? South is now under Indian control, and although the flower growers still consider this to be the territory of the flower growers, it has been occupied by India for more than 60 years, and it is very difficult for us to get it back.

The loss of this territory is actually a choice that the imperial capital had to make in 62!

If it weren't for the fact that Kangxi sent Qing troops into Tibet to defeat Zhunger, subdued the upper lamas of the major monasteries, and subdued the hearts of the Tibetan people, this officially incorporated Tibet into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Tibet was occupied by the Zungar Khanate, from Kangxi in 1696 to send 100,000 troops to defeat Zungar, to 1759 Qianlong sent troops to conquer Kashgar, which is what we have today's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Therefore, it is not correct to say that Kangxi is not sad about the national territory, at least if Emperor Kangxi had not launched an army of 100,000 to destroy Zhunger, the current Tibet may really be a foreign country!

It's a pity that Kangxi kept Tibet, but he didn't care too much about the Far East, and signing the "Treaty of Nebuchu" with Tsarist Russia was indeed a major strategic mistake. It had a very far-reaching impact on the geopolitics of the flower planters, causing the flower growers to lose control of the Far East, and the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the New China all suffered greatly.

And the Military Commission decided to evacuate Tibet in 62? The south, especially the Tawang region, has been withdrawn cleanly, leaving no strategic stronghold, resulting in the complete loss of our territory on the other side of the Himalayas, and even more so that our country has a diplomatic relationship with Tibet. The Yugoslav issue is weak and can no longer take the political initiative, but it is also a big strategic mistake for now.

It doesn't make sense to explain it with the supply theory, the logistics supply of the flower growers is not enough, the supply of materials is difficult, and it is necessary to rely on donkeys to send the materials to Tibet? Tawang County in the south. But it was no less easy for the Indian army, and it was no less difficult for them to resupply.

And the imperial capital will never abandon such a large territory because of a small logistical problem, the last thing the soldiers of the flower grower are afraid of is difficulties, even if it is one bag of fried rice a month, twelve bags of fried rice can last for a year, and it can survive until the snow melts next year.

In fact, if we really look at the map of southern Tibet, we can conclude that many of our troops withdrew from Tibet in 62 through post-mortem analysis? South, the main reason is because of the lack of national strength, and if the fight continues, the people of the whole country will have to eat chaff and drink thin chaff.

At that time, the national strength of the flower planters was extremely weak, the internal three-year catastrophe had just ended, the external world was isolating China, and the United States and the Soviet Union were putting pressure on the flower planters. After a fight in 1962, it was already the end of the crossbow, and if there was a war of attrition on the Sino-Indian border, the flower planters would probably not be able to hold on.

At that time, Tibet was already unstable, and at the instigation of foreign forces, some people in the local area kept jumping out to stir up trouble, and the situation was so serious that it had to stop foreign wars.

Heroes also have shortness of breath, 62 years is indeed a bad year for the flower planter, in the face of the isolation of the world, in order to end the Sino-Indian border friction as soon as possible, keep the northern Xinjiang and Tibet, the central government has to make a trade-off in some issues, if it continues to fight, it is very likely that it will really make China's border unstable, whether it can effectively control Tibet.

In addition to the lack of national strength, the secondary reason is that we didn't want to eat Tibet at that time? Minami's thoughts.

Hide? The southern region was effectively separated from the rule of the flower planters during the Republican period, and the Tibetan serf government at that time signed an agreement with the British to cede the Tawang region

In addition, in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Himalayas were borderless land, India was colonized by the British, and the Chinese were also in civil strife, so the border line was very blurred, and many places were not even inhabited at all.

The British, on the other hand, were more sensitive to territory, and took advantage of the civil strife in the flower planters to map around the Himalayas

, which depicts all the borderlands on both sides of the Himalayas on the map of India.

Later, the flower planter did not have enough evidence to prove that this was once the territory of the flower planter, and he was a little less confident to come back.

In addition, the Tibetan government at that time was still a serf feudal regime, and they didn't have any brains about things, as long as they didn't hinder them from reciting scriptures in the temple, they didn't care about anything, and easily determined the Tibet-India border with the British, and gave up these precious territories, so that after the establishment of New China, they were very passive in this matter, and there was no reason to take it back.

After all, it is a terra nullius, and whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it, and we have no reason to argue with this in international law.

After the liberation of Tibet in 1950, our army took over the territory of the serf regime at that time, and there was not even a complete map of Tibet in hand, which was also surveyed and mapped by the British.

And India took away a lot of Tibetan territory according to the McMahon Line demarcated by the British. Nan just left the flower planter.

Before the liberation of Tibet, India had a lot of influence in Tibet, and after the liberation of Tibet, our army basically eliminated India's influence.

Nehru's strategy for Greater India was to incorporate Tibet into India's territory and serve as a barrier to the north. Of course, such a good land was liberated by the flower planters, so after 50 years, Ah San has been stirring up trouble on the Sino-Indian border for many years, just because they are unwilling and want to eat the entire Tibetan land!

The clay people also have three points, India has provoked our country three times and twice, and finally in 1962, the imperial capital can no longer bear it, and even the American imperialists were beaten in North Korea that year, how can they be afraid of Ah San!

Before 1962, India was recognized as the third most powerful country in the world, after the United States imperialism and the Soviet Union......
