Chapter 350: Reparations for Land Cession
Powell's entire body was shrunk in body armor, and the heavy body armor could not give him a sense of security, and on his head, he was wearing a thick helmet, and the weight of the helmet made him feel as if his neck would be crushed at any time.
No one wanted to mediate, but, as a peace-loving American, as an ambassador, he had an unshirkable duty, so he had to go to the war-torn Chancellery, where almost all the outlying buildings were razed to the ground.
The Pakistani army here will not shoot, but the Indians on the opposite side are not clear, Powell shouted for a long time, and has not dared to leave the wall of hiding for half a step, in fact, his body has long been exposed to the vision of a sniper in the ruins of the Prime Minister's Office.
With permission from the other side, Powell slowly stood up, left the hiding place, and slowly walked towards the opposite side.
He knew that there must be a lot of guns pointed at him at this time, and as soon as a shooter was nervous, his life would be confessed here, but he had no other choice, he had to go.
"Don't shoot, I'm the ambassador of the United States, and Prime Minister Rajiv knows me." Powell shouted as he slowly walked forward, his hands outstretched, trying not to make the other person think he was hostile.
Finally, he walked over and walked into the dilapidated building, and when he pushed the door open and entered, a pair of big hands suddenly pushed him hard, and he staggered and took two steps forward.
Then, someone behind him twisted his arm behind him, restrained him, and touched his body up and down to make sure that he was not carrying any weapons.
The helmet was removed, and in front of Powell's eyes, a tall Indian appeared.
"Swaraj. You should know me, we're good friends, I'm Powell. Powell said to the person in front of him, this is India's foreign minister, Shiwaraj.
"Powell, are you here on behalf of the Pakistanis?" Swaraj said.
"Of course not. I'm the U.S. Ambassador, and I represent our American interests. Powell said: "I'm here to hope for a peaceful end to this dispute." ”
Ending peacefully? Thinking about those tanks outside, Powell felt a chill in his back, and perhaps, the next moment, they would all go to another world.
"How can it end peacefully?" "Will the Pakistanis withdraw their troops? ”
They dare to go deep into New Delhi alone, apparently they are all out of the way, let them stop? Is it possible?
"Is Prime Minister Rajiv here? I need to talk to him. Time was running out, the Pakistanis gave me only fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, they would start their general offensive. Powell said.
Along the tunnel, walking to the fortifications below, Powell saw Rajiv.
At this time, Rajiv had just passed the age of forty and was slightly obese. The face shape of the national character, like a faithful worker.
Right now. Rajiv was calm, with firmness in his eyes, but the people around him, their eyes were impatient, and Powell knew it when he looked at these people who were fenced up. The purpose of my visit this time is almost achieved.
"We have contacted President Hammad of Pakistan and after our pressure, he agreed to the conditional withdrawal of troops." Powell said.
"Withdraw the army? Now, it is not a question of whether he can withdraw or not, waiting for our reinforcements to arrive. His army will be completely strangled by us. Rajiv said, his eyes full of determination.
"Perhaps, this army of Pakistan will be strangled by your reinforcements, but I am afraid that everyone here will not see it." Powell said.
"What did you say?" Hearing him say this, everyone present was stunned.
"I have only bought you fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, the Pakistani army will attack, and they will have all kinds of weapons ready." Powell said: "They will directly bomb this building, I wonder if there is another exit in this secret room?" ”
Hearing Powell's words, all the people were shocked, this secret room is really just a solid underground bunker, there is no other passage, when it was first built, it was only built as a bomb shelter, no one would think about hiding from the ground troops here, when the ground troops attacked here, they should have moved in advance.
"Even if we really can't dodge Pakistan's blows, we have no regrets, we use ourselves as bait to let the Pakistani army go deep into our hinterland and create opportunities for our army to encircle and annihilate them." "Perhaps, that's our mission," Rajiv said. ”
Rajiv is not afraid of death, at this time, if he really dies, he can still leave a good reputation in the history of India in the future, insist on the war of resistance, remain unchanged until death, have a noble temperament, and do not disgrace the Gandhi family!
However, other people don't think so, they want to live, and it is better to live than to die, and the so-called fame is only left to future generations, and they can't get anything.
"I believe that the armored forces of the Indians who surrounded us this time will not end better than us, and perhaps, in a few hours, they will be annihilated by our regiments. This is the city, Pakistan's air power, it is not useful at all, we have a dozen infantry divisions are coming, and we can completely wipe out the Pakistanis. Rajiv continued.
He has made up his mind, and if he dies, he doesn't have to worry about what happens next, but better.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I am very touched by your regard for death, but the millions of people in New Delhi are always innocent, right?" Powell said.
New Delhi's population of millions! Now, in India, the two major cities of New Delhi and Mumbai, the population has been quite large, and the population of New Delhi has exceeded seven million!
Powell's words made Rajiv's eyelids shrink involuntarily, would the Pakistanis do this?
If they go out, they will be caught up and surrounded by their own army, although they are armored troops, but after all, weapons and ammunition are limited, when their fuel is exhausted, their tank crews will become infantry, and their own side will kill them all even if they rely on crowd tactics!
Therefore, instead of going out and being wiped out by their own side in the wilderness, they should hide in the city of New Delhi and fight street battles with their own army, which is the most cruel, and at the same time, when they fight, they will definitely not care about the inhabitants here.
Even, in the final stages of the siege, they will kill their own inhabitants! This consequence is absolutely unbearable for me.
This armored unit is lone in the depths, and they are ready to sacrifice!
Rajiv could die himself, but he would not be able to afford to lose millions of civilians in New Delhi.
"Prime Minister, as long as we live, there is still hope, we can't just leave!" General Meta's face was bruised several times, and he was beaten by Sendarji, but now, he still insists on his opinion, it is time for peace talks! Now, it's time to settle the problem through peace talks!
"What are the conditions for the Pakistanis?" Rajiv asked.
"The first is to compensate Pakistan with $50 billion as reparations for this war." Powell said.
"What?" Rajiv suddenly stood up: "Are Pakistanis crazy? Five tens of billions! In this war, we India have suffered the most losses! ”
"But the war was provoked by your own initiative." Powell said: "Before you launched the raid, I asked you several times to show the attitude of our American side, but I have not been able to ask to see you, but the Soviet ambassador is here every day, and I would like to know where the Soviet ambassador is at this critical time when you are facing life and death." ”
The Soviet ambassador did not even dare to fart, and kept hiding in the embassy, for fear that the angry Pakistani army would beat them together.
Rajiv's face turned pale and he said, "Are there any other conditions?" ”
"The second condition is Kashmir." Powell continued.
What is the content of the negotiation? It's nothing more than two, land cut, reparations.
Now that Pakistan has controlled the heads of India, how can it be that they don't want to order something out?
When Mhammad finally reached a deal with the American side, the American side agreed to Pakistan's request and conveyed his terms to India to ask for these things. The benefit that the United States has received is that the $2 billion in military aid proposed by Mhammad does not need to be paid by the Americans, and the Indians will pay for it, and from the $50 billion, 2 billion will be allocated to the United States as a benefit. Moreover, Pakistan has money, and in the future, it will no longer have to ask the United States for military aid, and the United States will not give it again. Whatever you want, take the money to buy it!
In fact, when Pakistan besieged New Delhi, it had already simultaneously controlled their parliament and treasury, and looted and looted the contents of it, and there must have been tens of billions of dollars. As for Kashmir, when Pakistan took the Kashmir Valley by force, the Kashmir region became a burden for India, and now, in order to rescue New Delhi, India has transferred back two troops stationed in Kashmir, which has long been empty.
At the same time as the arrival of the American ambassador, Pakistan's army was ready to set off from the Kashmir valley and continue to occupy the entire Kashmir region, occupying the surrounding mountains, and Pakistan could attack at any time!
Now, if the Indians agree, that's the best, if they don't, Pakistan has a second option, in short, Mhammad is the Rajiv.
Now, it's up to Rajiv's attitude. This time, Powell also risked his life. (To be continued......)
