Chapter 320: Breaking the City
On the same day that the Ming army shelled New Delhi, Pakistani troops approached Mumbai.
"Promise a truce? It was only at this time that he agreed, what did Nehru do earlier? That's not what it's like now, we're all in New Delhi, and of course there's a new offer!
The previous one remains the same, and I will no longer increase the military spending, and they are quite poor, so if it is less than two billion dollars, it will be less!
However, they must cede the province of Mumbai to Pakistan! ”
Yang Feng said to Jensen.
Nehru remembered that the Britons were coming at this time, after all, no one else could help them, and his old master was still good to him, but Jensen did not represent Qiu Fatzi, Qiu Fatzi didn't want to be in the limelight, and the rice people returned to him and jumped out again, which was easy for people to have bad associations, so Jensen was on behalf of George VI to help the Tianzhu people convey their willingness to peace.
The affairs of their aristocratic circle have nothing to do with the commoners of the New World.
Of course, Jensen understands that Yang Feng can't let go of Mumbai, but it is too ruthless to ask for the entire Mumbai province.
At this time, there were some differences between the administrative division of Tianzhu and later generations, Gujarat and Maharashtra were still together, both belonged to Mumbai Province, which was equivalent to taking out almost the entire island of Sumatra from the territory of Tianzhu, and the Tianzhu people could not agree to it in any case. What's more, the Pakistani army did not occupy the entire province of Mumbai, they only captured the northwest and the coastal area west of the Western Ghats, and even if they captured Mumbai next, it would be at most half of the province of Mumbai.
It is reasonable that the places that have been grabbed this year will not be returned, but it is too much to even have places that have not been grabbed.
"Your Excellency, I don't think they can agree to this condition."
After thinking about it, he told Yang Feng very frankly.
Because of the current de facto alliance between the two sides, coupled with the urgent need for Yang Feng's help. So Jensen knew very well that although he was invited by Nehru, he had to stand on Yang Feng's side, and it was precisely because of Yang Feng's position that he had to tell everything frankly, and Yang Feng's unrealistic offer could only make the war continue. And does not help to end the war.
"What you need is Mumbai, I don't think you're interested elsewhere, right?"
Jensen continued.
Yang Feng nodded.
"Then what you need now is to end this war as soon as possible on the premise of getting Mumbai, because only when the war is over can you develop the oil there, otherwise you can only watch it continue to sleep underground.
And your terms, Nehru will not agree, even if you capture New Delhi or even capture him, he will not sign such an armistice. Even if he commits suicide, he won't sign it, but I still know him well.
What's more, even if he signed, it would be useless.
Before the meaning of the capital is lost, once it is captured, then it will become an ordinary city.
In the same way, the meaning of the government is that until it is able to carry out its duties, once it is captured, then the government is no longer the government, and the prime minister is no longer the prime minister.
As long as the Tianzhu people still resist, they will soon have a new capital. New government, new prime minister.
And, as far as I know, President Prasad of Tianzhu has already left New Delhi by train. They were accompanied by a large number of MPs, who were destined for Bhopal, and it was clear that they were prepared for the loss of New Delhi. ”
Jensen said.
Tianzhu's head of state is not the prime minister, but the president, and the supreme commander of the armed forces, but the cabinet system. The prime minister was in power, and the president at this time was Gandhi's old partner Prasad, who had been in office until '62.
Nehru is not stupid, and of course he will not let the entire national leadership stay in New Delhi and wait to be served. He and the government and army generals remained in the capital, while Prasad led the parliament to withdraw to Bhopal, and once New Delhi was captured and he and the government agencies were captured, Prasad would take over the country as president and then hold out the resistance with Bhopal as the wartime capital.
The Ming army only surrounded the west bank of the Yamuna River, and the east bank was still under the control of the Tianzhu people, so Prasad's retreat was not affected.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Führer, my Majesty the King has a proposal."
Jensen said.
Yang Feng nodded and motioned for him to speak.
"First of all, Tianzhu must cede the land, but not the whole province of Mumbai, the large and small Kutch swamps and the Kutch Heights, which they will definitely cede to Pakistan, and of course the Katiawa Peninsula must also be ceded, and then add the area around Mumbai that you think is sufficient. The Amudaba and the corridor to the south may wish to be returned to them, Kashmir to the north to be ceded entirely, while the Punjabi sides remain on the Radcliffe line, while the other fronts are retreated to the pre-war demarcation line.
In this way, you will get what you need, and Pakistan will also get enough benefits to station enough troops in Bombay and the Katiawa Peninsula in the future, as long as the Tianzhu people have any intention of resuming the war, these two places are two bridgeheads that can support military operations of any scale. ”
Jensen said.
Obviously, he is indeed thinking about Yang Feng, this is the bottom line that the Tianzhu people may accept, there is no big deal in the Katiawa Peninsula and the Katch swamp area, although there is the birthplace of Gandhi, but it is only a traditional agricultural area, at most the important point of the salt industry, this is not a big deal for Tianzhu, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, what really matters is Mumbai, but since Yang Feng wants Mumbai, then they must spit it out.
This is obviously much easier to accept than ceding the whole province of Mumbai.
"Well, if this is the suggestion of His Majesty the King of your country, then I agree."
Yang Feng thought for a while and said.
He is really anxious to end the war now, after all, he still has a lot of things to worry about, such as the cause of freedom of the Japanese people, the great cause of the restoration of His Majesty the King of Goryeo, this is fifty-two years, it is estimated that after the end of the sixth battle, the two sides should negotiate peace, once Syngman Rhee frees his hands, I am afraid that he will not continue to tolerate His Majesty the King to dig his corner, and this year's Middle East is also very chaotic, such as Egypt's life or something, this is all things he needs to worry about!
Not to mention that the aircraft carriers of the Soviets were also about to drive out.
According to the information he obtained, the first batch of pre-production Yak-25 of the Soviets has actually been put into service on the aircraft carrier Georgia, and it is said that Staling highly admires this carrier-based aircraft, especially the air combat performance is simply incomparable, and even under certain circumstances, the air combat thrust-to-weight ratio can reach one to one, although the speed does not reach 1.5 times the speed of sound of the Tiger Shark, but it also exceeds 1.3.
It's just that the legs are shorter, and it is estimated that it is half a pound or two with the tiger shark, but the external ability cannot reach the level of the tiger shark, which is normal, after all, there are only two Mikulin engines with an afterburner thrust of just over three tons, and if you want to achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of one to one, its size will definitely not be large.
The reason why mass production is not yet possible is largely due to Starling's desire to be perfect.
He got the SABRE D's AN/APG36 radar, and it has been imitated, so he also wants to turn it into an all-weather fighter, and even because the Ming army's air-to-air missiles shine, he also wants to install missiles on the Yak-25, and the starting point is very high, ready to directly go on the semi-active radar-guided missile, which is now under development, that is, the original historical K5 or AA1, it is estimated that it can be put into service almost five or five years ago
In addition, there is another problem that the development of the supporting carrier-based attack aircraft has not yet been completed, and the Yak-25 is impossible to undertake the ability to attack ships, and it is impossible for Staling to get the Il-10 on the aircraft carrier, so he has prepared a new jet attack aircraft for his aircraft carrier. As for the number, it is the original historical discarded Il-40, of course, it has nothing to do with the original Il-40, the only thing that is the same is the two Mikulin engines.
But this attack aircraft will have to enter service at the beginning of five or three years at the earliest.
So Yang Feng has less than a year to go.
It's really not suitable to continue to entangle with the Tianzhu people now.
However, Nehru did not agree.
After the Ming army arrived, it never attacked New Delhi directly, but quickly solved the defenders of Gurgaon, but then the powerful attack force of three armored brigades and three mechanized infantry brigades stopped on the periphery of New Delhi, and then set up 240 heavy mortars from three sides, and began to bombard the city non-stop, but did not enter the city.
This inevitably gave Nehru a hint of illusion that the Ming army was indeed frightened by his whole army.
And a group army he drew from the southern front and an army group from the eastern front were also coming to reinforce day and night, and if he could hold out in New Delhi for half a month, maybe he could create a miracle, so he rejected the British's proposal.
Even the Britons said it in a way that was very considerate of him.
The Britons told him that this was equivalent to exchanging Bombay for New Delhi, otherwise New Delhi would definitely not be able to keep it, and Bombay would not be able to keep it either, and it would be better to simply make such an exchange than to destroy both places, which would be considered the lesser of two evils. As for the other ceded land, it was to exchange the occupied territories from the Pakistanis, including the Mudaba, otherwise he would have lost not only most of Mumbai but also Punjab, and Kashmir as well.
This exchange was entirely in his favor.
But at this time, Nehru, who was full of thoughts about creating the miracle of Stalingrad, could no longer listen to persuasion, not to mention that he also knew Yang Feng's purpose of seizing Mumbai, and now he was completely burned by the raging anger and lost his mind, and he couldn't keep calm.
In that case, there is not much to say.
"Fight, enter New Delhi, next time I will discuss peace with Nehru in person!"
Yang said viciously.
Immediately after that, the Ming army began to enter the rubble of New Delhi. (To be continued.) )
