Volume 10 Nine Days of the Dragon Chapter 21 The War Is Coming

The warnings issued by the Republic have not done much. 【】

On July, the Indian parliament discussed the Sikkim issue for a whole day and finally passed a bill urging the government to take the necessary actions in Sikkim if necessary to safeguard India's domestic stability and national interests. In other words, the Indian Parliament has not only formally authorized the Prime Minister to take military action. Pressure was also exerted on the Prime Minister's Office.

On the same day, the Indian grass brigade launched a large-scale military operation against two guerrilla groups in Sikkim.

According to the reports of the news media of the republic. India dispatched a total of 2 divisions and officers and men of the same rank. Large-scale encirclement and suppression operations were carried out in Gangtok, Tangu, Lachong, Singula and Sintam. India has also dispatched dozens of combat aircraft and hundreds of helicopters to support ground operations. Special forces were sent deep into the mountains, looking for partisan camps and directing targets for bombers.

The Indian army made a big move, dealing with only two guerrilla units with a total strength of less than four people.

Faced with the Indian army, which was armed to the teeth, the Sikkim guerrillas, with only light weapons, some light mortars and rocket launchers, had no choice but to withdraw into the mountains and take advantage of the rugged terrain to deal with the encirclement and suppression forces.

There was not much suspense in the battle, although the Sikkim guerrillas killed dozens of Indian troops in the way of "cold guns", but in the face of such a powerful enemy, the Sikkim guerrillas basically did not even have the strength to parry.

On the third day of the fighting, in the old days of July, the Sikkim guerrillas were largely in complete disarray.

Some of the guerrillas fled into Nepal, which had been secretly supporting the Sikkim independence movement, while others crossed the mountain passes north of Tangu into the territory of the Republic, while more guerrillas hid their weapons and blended in with the population. In order to avoid the edge of the Indian army.

From this day on, the Indian army's sweeping operation entered the second phase.

Faced with the guerrillas who had escaped from Sikkim, the Indian army had nothing to do for the time being. Not to mention crossing the border to deal with guerrillas who have fled into the Republic, even against guerrillas in Nepal. India will have to consider the serious consequences of this. The only ones the Indian army could fight were the guerrillas who hid among the people and waited until the end of the sweep to take up arms to resist. In order to safeguard India's interests in Sikkim, the Indian army must also exterminate the guerrillas who remain in Sikkim.

A brutal purge began.

The Indian army not only spared the adult men of Sikkim, but also did not spare the women in the prime of life. As long as the Sikkim people can take up arms and fight, they are within the scope of the Indian army's "clearance". In accordance with the policy announced by the Indian Army on Aberdeen Day. All adults in Sikkim are required to report their status to the nearest Indian army cantonment site for inspection. In order to find out the guerrillas hiding among the population, the Indian army came up with many methods. A lot of advanced equipment was also used. For example, the Indian military has used a number of "explosives detection instruments" imported from the United States. The device is not only capable of detecting munitions hidden several meters underground, but also explosive powder that remains on clothing and human bodies. Although the Indian army's attitude towards "suspects" is relatively civilized, as long as the personnel who are found to have been exposed to explosives are temporarily put into custody, and only after the identity of the guerrillas is confirmed, they are handed over to military courts for trial, but there are three major problems in the Indian army's doing so: First, Sikkim is an independent and sovereign state, and India has no legal basis for trying Sikkim; Second, Sikkim is originally a mountainous country, and many people have guns and ammunition to deal with wild animals or hunting, and it is difficult to define hunting guns and guerrilla guns; Third, the identification of guerrillas is a worldwide problem, and guerrillas are only soldiers when they take up arms, and civilians when they lay down their arms, and the "suspects" arrested in India cannot be called guerrillas because they have no weapons, so there is no reason to try them.

It can be said that the Indian army is targeting the civilians of Sikkim. The situation has completely lost its room to turn around.

For a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand, India dispatched nearly 30,000 troops, captured nearly the old "guerrillas" who made up nearly the old number of its citizens, killed and wounded thousands in battle, and secretly executed thousands of people, and even the United States, which secretly supported India, could not sit still.

On July, U.S. Secretary of State Brudrin flew to New Delhi.

Although Brooklyn's main mission was to provide promises to India, or rather to cheer it up, during his meeting with Rurajapani, Brooklyn made it clear that the Indian army's operations in Sikkim must be restrained.

On this day. There was something that even Rurajapani didn't want to see.

Wapari, the leader of the Sikkim Independence Struggle Party, died unexpectedly in a temporary detention center in Gangtok.

Although the Indian government immediately declared that Wapari had "committed suicide in fear of crime" in order to escape the trial of the law. "But no one believed that a revolutionary who had fought for Sikkim's independence for decades would commit suicide.

Wapari's death "rekindled the fighting spirit of the Sikkimese people."

On the same day, Gangtok was involved in several suicide bombings, killing dozens of Indian military personnel, in addition to killing many civilians.

It can be said that India is in real trouble at this time.

Vapari was not only the founder and leader of the Sikkim Independence Struggle Party, but also the only religious leader who could unite Sikkim Buddhists and Hindu believers. Loved and respected in Sikkim. For decades, India has been afraid to deal with Wapari and even turned a blind eye to the Sikkim Independence Struggle Party, which it leads. It is because Wapari has too high prestige in Sikkim that to attack him is tantamount to making the whole of Sikkim an enemy. What cannot be ignored is that Wapari has a very close relationship with the Republic, and lived in exile in the Republic for many years when he was young. The Sikkim independence movement was also initiated by him with the covert support of the Republic, and his sudden death provided an excellent opportunity for the Republic to send troops to Sikkim

Composed.

The sudden change caught Rurajapani off guard.

Rurajapani sent troops to Sikkim to suppress the guerrillas, partly to meet the needs of the Parliament. On the other hand, they want to take this opportunity to stabilize the situation in Sikkim, consolidate the pro-Indian regime, make Sikkim give up its demand for independence, and lay the foundation for a final settlement of the Sikkim issue.

Wapari didn't die sooner or later, but it was over at this time, and Rurajapani suddenly had a hard time riding a tiger.

On the morning of the next day, less than an hour after the announcement of Wapari's death, Rurajapani said in New Delhi that India would invite the investigative agencies of neutral countries to participate in the investigation of Wapari's death. If it is confirmed that Wapari's death is related to the detention center, or the Indian army, severe punishment will be involved.

This statement by the Indian Prime Minister did not play a role in de-escalating the situation.

The point is not how Wapari died, but how Wapari died, and died in the detention center of the Indian army.

When he died, Vapari's eldest son, who was lobbying in the Republic and the second figure of the Sikkim Independence Struggle Party, Ravwapari formally submitted a request to the State Council of the Republic to send troops. Subsequently, in response to a reporter's question, Raff made it clear that India must bear full responsibility for the crimes it committed.

At this point, the conditions were ripe for the Republic to send troops to Sikkim.

In the old days, Wang Yuanqing officially received Ravwapari. After expressing his deep condolences, Ong said that the Republic would not only provide all the assistance for the independence of Sikkim, including military assistance. It will also help Sikkim to punish Wapari's killers.

In the afternoon, Ravwapari and the Sikkim exiles convened a general meeting of the Sikkim Independence Struggle Party in the capital of the Republic.

The key to the struggle for independence in Sikkim is not the key to the activities of the Republic, but the actions of the Government of the Republic.

At night, Wang Yuanqing convened a high-level meeting of the republic.

Although the Yuan Government of the Republic, the State Council, the General Staff Headquarters, and other organs did not announce the main contents of the meeting, according to the general speculation of the outside world, Wang Yuanqing made the decision to send troops to Sikkim at this meeting.

It's just that Wang Yuanqing still lacks a necessary condition, that is, the authorization of the plenary congress.

According to the "Law of Sending Troops to Foreign Countries" voted by the plenary congress in March of the year of the force, that is, after Wang Yuanqing was elected as the state minister of the republic for the second time. According to the Act, although the President of the Republic is the supreme military commander of the three armed forces, any military action involving foreign affairs must be approved by a vote of the General Assembly, except for the mobilization of independent arms, and must be supported by a majority of votes of the mother. In this way, even if Wang Yuanqing intends to send troops to Sikkim, he must first submit an application to the plenary congress, which will vote on it. Of course, in accordance with the Act. As long as it is not a foreign-related military action, it does not need to be voted on by the plenary congress, so Wang Yuanqing can make war preparations and war arrangements in advance. It does not need to be approved by the General Assembly.

Old. Wang Yuanqing personally went to the plenary session to make final preparations for the war.

On this day, all the news media around the world focused on the Republic.

In order to maintain discipline at the venue, with the exception of a few major domestic news media, such as the Republic's National Television, only three foreign television stations, including Al Jazeera, and a foreign news agency were allowed to report on the conference on the spot.

The conference was held from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon, until the end of the introduction.

In addition to two breaks in the middle. The conference lasted for an hour.

Contrary to what was expected, not all delegates were in favour of sending troops to Sikkim at the discussion stage. Although Wang Yuanqing's proposal was supported by the majority of deputies, it was in accordance with legal procedures. There must be the support of two thirds of the delegates. Wang Yuanqing was able to give the order to send troops. The key players will be played by the powerful delegates, whose votes will determine the future of Sikkim and India, as well as the entire South Asian region.

In order to convince these deputies, Wang Yuanqing made great efforts, and his previous style was almost like two people.

As a result, the conference, which was supposed to require only one goat, lasted for one day.

Although the final vote and counting of votes took less than half an hour, the first eight and a half hours highlighted the results of the political reform of the republic.

In the past, any war decision was made by the Yuan, but now the power of the Yuan is affected.

Although this had some impact on the military operations of the republic, such as exposing the republic's war intentions, delaying the preparations for war, and so on. However, from the perspective of the country's legal system, this change has a very far-reaching impact on the future of the republic, and it can even be said that it has an immeasurable and significant impact on the whole world.

As the Republic became one of the world's leading military powers, there was no reliable system to bind its military might. Rather, the control of the military by a single person, or by a small group confined to the top leadership, is bound to have unimaginable consequences in the near future.

In doing so, Wang Yuanqing is not restraining his own power, but restraining the power in the hands of the country's leaders.

The result of the vote did not come as a surprise. After the representatives above expressed their support for sending troops to Sikkim. A number of other neutral delegates also voted in favor, and the decision to send troops was finally adopted with an outrageous number of supporters.

In the evening of the same day, Wang Yuanqing officially issued a war mobilization order to the General Staff.

The Republic was about to send troops to Sikkim, and the news of the Republic of the Republic of India's imminent war spread all over the world.

Of course, not all news media believe that the republic will immediately send troops.

In accordance with the resolution adopted by the General Assembly, the highest authority of the Republic authorized the State to procure

In other words, the resolution does not veto "non-military means", including diplomatic negotiations.

According to Al Jazeera's estimates, the republic will make one last effort for peace.

Indeed, after obtaining the authorization of the plenary congress, Wang Yuanqing began to make one last peace effort.

On Sunday, the Republic's ambassador to India, Zhengwu, submitted a diplomatic note to the Indian government, demanding that India immediately stop its military repression in Sikkim, hand over Wapari's murderers, withdraw its troops from Sikkim, and recognize Sikkim's sovereign statehood.

On the same day, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Yan Shanglong, flew to New Delhi as a special envoy of the Yuan to meet with Rurajapani.

In the face of Rurajapani, Yan Shanglong reiterated the republic's "four-point proposition" and proposed a clear timetable for India to end its military repression in Sikkim by 10,000 July. A formal reply to the question of withdrawal from Sikkim was to be given by the date of July.

This "schedule." "It's nothing less than an ultimatum.

With the announcement of the announcement, the world believes that the war will break out in August.

And thugs, is the republic capable of completing preparations for war in such a short time?

The main concern of the Liejie is not whether the republic can complete its preparations for war, but whether the republic is ready to fight a war against a large scale.

If only the Indian army in Sikkim is dealt with, in addition to the air power, the Republic only needs to dispatch the strength of the Airborne Army at most, and all the preparations for the war can be deployed within the time of the break.

It is enough for the republic to mobilize all the main combat forces.

It is precisely for this reason that the outside world is very concerned about the degree of military mobilization of the republic.

On the 2nd, the three airborne armies entered a state of combat readiness, and all combat units went to the large air bases in the southwest and northwest regions of the Republic in accordance with the wartime plan.

3 airborne corps were dispatched, what did the republic want to do?

In accordance with the combat effectiveness of the Airborne Forces of the Republic. 3 Airborne Corps is enough to capture New Delhi!

Before the outside world came to its senses, a new military deployment began.

The introduction of the sun, the army stationed in the southwest region followed the sword army and drove to the southern Tibet region.

3 Airborne Corps plus 2 Field Corps, is the Republic ready to capture the Gangetic Plain? You must know that even in a full-scale war against Japan, the Republic only used 3 airborne troops and sword armies.

The problem is that the scale of military mobilization is much more than that.

Later that day, the Hongjun, Yinjun and Jun stationed in the Central Plains, the Zhang Army and the Sojun Army stationed in the Northeast Region, the Pijun and Li Army stationed in the Northwest Region, and the Blade Army stationed in the Southeast Region. Even the Correction Army stationed in the capital carried out war mobilization, and the Concave Army, the Guiding Army, the Army, the Flying Army, and the Gangster Army took the lead in moving to the southwest region, and the Dispatch Army and the Bi Army moved to the southern Xinjiang region.

In the early morning of the second day, the army and the Chi army also moved westward by rail.

Counting the previous armies, the republic mobilized the old armies in total.

This is almost all the main field army of the Army of the Republic!

With so many ground forces mobilized, is the republic ready to wipe out India?

The mobilization of the army is very remarkable, and the mobilization of the air force is more representative.

On the morning of Chouhou, the Air Force had already deployed about a number of military planes of various types to the northwest and southwest regions, including more combat planes, more transport planes, more tanker planes, and more support planes of various types. With the transfer of more and more combat aircraft to the southwest and northwest. The Air Force mobilized almost all combat forces. Only symbolic defensive forces were retained in other directions.

At this time, many Western news media appeared. The Republic has quietly raised its strategic vigilance.

That is, the republic has increased the level of deterrence of strategic forces.

This indicates that the Republic has shifted its focus to the South Asian region and is likely to use nuclear weapons as a means of retaliating if it encounters threats from other countries against India.

It is also only when conventional military forces are concentrated in a certain direction that there is a reason to strengthen the level of strategic alert.

By this point, the republic's war intentions were already very obvious.

It's just that the outside world is paying more attention to the actions of the Navy of the Republic. To deal with a regional power like India, the republic must seize sea supremacy. It can even be said whether it is possible to seize sea supremacy. It is directly related to the success or failure of the war. If the republic wants to bring India down completely, the actions of the Navy are crucial.

In the early morning of the flight day in July, the East China Sea Fleet stationed at the Zhoushan Military Port sailed into the sea under the cover of night.

Although the United States has mobilized several military reconnaissance satellites. Intensified surveillance of the Zhoushan military port. However, after leaving the military port, the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the East China Sea Fleet immediately entered the international commercial shipping jarate. Subsequently, US reconnaissance satellites appeared dozens of "aircraft carriers" and hundreds of "large warships." "It is simply impossible to determine the exact whereabouts of the aircraft carrier battle group.

On the night of Hongri, the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Yulin Port departed the port.

The US military's reconnaissance satellites once again made a mistake and also appeared dozens of pounds of suspected aircraft carriers and hundreds of suspected large warship surface targets on the photographs taken.

Does the Republic Navy want to be promoted?

The intelligence agencies of the United States did not make a fool of themselves. Immediately go out on the war alert. Subsequently, the news that six aircraft carrier battle groups of the Republic Navy had left Hong Kong for the Indian Ocean was sent to the Indian Prime Minister.

With less than 7 days to go, can the war be nipped in the bud?
