In fact, it was the United States that was the first to receive the news.

At around 2 a.m., eight B-2As deployed in Diego Garcia were lifted into the air and their whereabouts were unknown.

According to later published information, at least four of the eight B-2As at that time carried tactical nuclear weapons, and all of them were ground-penetrating bombs.

With the stealth capabilities of the B-2A, it will definitely be able to evade Indian air defense radars.

If these bombers go to India and are on patrol over India, they will be able to strike as soon as India prepares to use nuclear weapons.

The point is that the United States is likely to have information on India's nuclear weapons deployment.

In addition, on the same night, the Huaxia Air Force also urgently dispatched at least 20 J-20G fighters.

The fighters took off from an air base in southwest China, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Although the J-20G is not a bomber, it has a strike radius of up to 2 kilometers with 2 precision-guided bombs.

With the support of tankers, it can be extended for 1,000 kilometers.

That is, these fighters, with the support of tankers, are able to cover the northern regions of India.

Although there is no way to say for sure whether the United States informed Huaxia of the situation, judging from the situation at that time, 8 B-2As were certainly not enough to cover the entire territory of India.

Obviously, it is quite possible that this is a joint operation.

What does it mean?

The United States is responsible for the southern region of India, while Huaxia is responsible for the northern region of India.

If India's military government were to use nuclear weapons, the United States and China would launch a joint strike to destroy India's nuclear forces with surgical precision bombing.

At the very least, the United States and China share a common position on the issue of nuclear weapons.

Why?

The United States and China are both permanent members of the Security Council, recognized as nuclear powers, and the United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons in actual combat.

Although India has long possessed nuclear weapons, the international community has only recognized India as a nuclear state.

What's the difference?

If a nuclear state has nuclear weapons, it only has nuclear weapons.

If India uses nuclear weapons in a war, no matter how it is used, then India's international standing will have to be reconsidered after the war is over.

An additional permanent member?

Or, to speak, to recognize India as a nuclear power?

Obviously, this is an unacceptable outcome for both the United States and China.

It is all the more impermissible when the catastrophic consequences of India's use of nuclear weapons are taken into account.

Fortunately, India's military government is not stupid enough to kill itself.

The next day, on the morning of the 101st day of the war, the Indian military government issued a statement saying that it would recognize the armistice talks proposed by the former prime minister and authorize India's special envoy to the United Nations to continue to contact the Pakistani side to prepare for the next negotiations.

Of course, there is a slight difference.

That is, the armistice negotiations with Pakistan do not involve India's sovereignty.

What do you mean?

Put simply, the negotiations should be based on Pakistan's withdrawal from Indian territory, rather than making it a condition for negotiations.

However, the Indian military government did not mention Indian-administered Kashmir.

To be precise, there is no explicit mention of Indian-administered Kashmir.

Obviously, there is a problem here.

Although India has always claimed sovereignty over Kashmir and has been the de facto controller of the southern part of Kashmir for the past few decades, there has been no agreement in the international community on the sovereignty of Kashmir, i.e., India does not have sovereignty over Kashmir.

So, does the Indian military government's demands include the Kashmir region?

The Pakistani authorities quickly responded, saying that they have no territorial claims to India and will gradually withdraw their troops from India after the negotiations officially begin, and will not use the withdrawal as a bargaining chip to bargain with the Indian authorities, expressing their sincerity in actively conducting armistice negotiations.

On the same day, the special envoys of the two sides made their first official contacts.

Although the US authorities have offered to provide a venue for armistice talks between the two sides, the Pakistani side insists on holding talks within the framework of the UN Security Council, or in other words, it rejects the goodwill of the United States, because it is not only the United States that is pushing India and Pakistan to hold armistice talks.

In the first contact, only the level and details of the negotiations were discussed.

As a matter of fact, consultations on these issues have already been held in previous contacts, and what we need to do now is to finalize what has been agreed before.

It was also on this day that the Indian military government announced.

The Prime Minister of India was dismissed from all posts for violating the Constitution and suspected of creating war, and handed over to the judiciary after completing an initial investigation.

Of course, it's not just the Prime Minister of India.

The military government has also arrested more than a dozen ministerial-level officials, as well as dozens of military officers, all of whom will face charges of treason.

None of this is a big deal, though.

In the afternoon of the same day, the military government declared martial law and control throughout India, with local garrisons taking over local governments and, if necessary, the law of wartime, which was to crack down on all crimes that were detrimental to the security and stability of the country.

The announcement comes at a time when the Indian military government has also signed hundreds of letters of appointment.

What does it mean?

It is to give power to the local garrison, so that the commander of the local garrison can gain administrative power.

Obviously, this is just the beginning.

On the same day, there were news media predictions in Western countries.

Next, India's military government will announce the introduction of rationing throughout the country and, through a wartime system, a reshuffling of the entire society.

How to shuffle the cards?

The property of the wealthy people was confiscated and food and other daily necessities were controlled in order to gain the support of the grassroots and especially the common people.

To put it simply, it is to strengthen the centralization of power through military means.

The question is, will it work?

You know, the war did not affect the whole of India, and the states of India have a lot of power and may not be at the mercy of the military government.

What's more, India's ethnicity and religion are too complex.

The military government's steps are so big that it may work in the short term, but in the long run it will inevitably lead to nationwide unrest.

Actually, it won't work in the short term.

On the same day, turmoil and even bloodshed broke out in Mumbai, Kolkata and other places.

At this time, what the Indian military government needs to consider is not how to get more benefits from the negotiations, but how to stabilize the domestic situation.

Of course, a ceasefire treaty with Pakistan must be signed as soon as possible.

Only after the end of the conflict with Pakistan will the military government be able to mobilize the military forces concentrated in the northwest to quell the insurgency in the country.

Obviously, if an armistice is to be signed as soon as possible, the Indian military government will have to make huge concessions in the negotiations.
