Chapter 619 619 Frontier
The beginning of the war was a very small thing, at least in the eyes of the heads of state. However, it is often because of some very small things that the cascading effect can change the world. It was like a few gunshots from the Serb youth of Sarajevo before the First World War, which not only took the lives of the crown prince and his wife, but also directly ignited the already strong smell of gunpowder in Europe. These small things may be insignificant, but in a specific environment, they can become an outlet for catharsis and bring torrents of water.
Like the cause of the war, the daughter of a parliamentarian in India's "pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh" (i.e., China's southern Tibetan region, which is under India's actual control) was raped to death by a group of Indians while she was studying in Mumbai. In the northeastern part of India, including the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh, there are a large number of inhabitants who are physically different from the Indians, who are the race of the Sino-Tibetan language family, and are very different from the Indians in terms of language and religion.
The annexation of Northeast India to India was still a colonial issue left over by the British. For many years, Indians have been deeply discriminatory against these "compatriots" who look very different from themselves, especially girls in the northeast because of their lighter skin color and more beautiful than Indian women, they have always been the focus of sexual assault by sexually corrupt Indians.
The reason for this incident is that the victim's father is a prominent local politician, and his political opinion is to call on the residents of the Northeast region, especially the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh, to cooperate with the Indian government and identify with his Indian identity.
But such a politician who chooses to cooperate with the Indian government and advocates racial goodwill can't even protect his daughter, and being **** to death by the Indians he admires and admires is undoubtedly a naked slap in the face.
On the other hand, because of the development of social media sites and online media, even in the backward state of Arunachal Pradesh, the truth of the matter was learned, coupled with the secret promotion of some "well-intentioned people", the Internet amplified people's voices, and then the anger accumulated by the locals over the years completely exploded here, forming a demonstration.
From the beginning, the theme of the demonstration was relatively clear, moderate and peaceful, and its proposition was to demand that the Indian government bring the criminals to justice, while paying attention to the livelihood and rights of the residents of the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh, and calling on Indians to stop racial discrimination against the residents of the northeast.
However, the voices of Indian netizens fed back from the Internet, coupled with the deliberate exaggeration and amplification of some media, it is obvious that Indians are very uninterested in the ideas of the locals, and there is a burst of cynicism, and some people even say that the residents of the primitive and backward northeast region of India are inferior, and it is natural to be racially discriminated against. There are also demands that the government immediately suppress and clear the rioters, so that they know that the masters of this country are not Indians of their theoretical nationality.
In this way, not only the residents of the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh were angry, but also the Han and Tibetan races in the seven northeastern states were basically angry, and the contradictions intensified in the process.
On the sixth day of the demonstrations in the puppet state of Arunachal Pradesh, a group of young students "miraculously" entered an Indian army camp and stole an armory. As it turned out that most of the barracks had been thrown out to deal with the possible chaos and that the camp guards had been negligent in their duties, it was inconceivable that the students were able to enter the barracks and get their weapons with their bare hands. India's poor military discipline has also been ridiculed and ridiculed by people from all over the world.
The young students, armed with weapons, also emboldened, attacked government offices in local towns and cities, and shot and killed officials of Indian origin. When the killings began, the demonstrations turned into riots, and many locals began to mob some of the Indian residents who had been consciously emigrated by the Indian government, using all sorts of things, such as sticks, iron knives and even farm tools, to vent their hysterical anger.
The riots did not last long, because in anticipation of the increasingly powerful China, India has continued to increase its troops in the puppet state of Arunachal Pradesh in recent years, and there are relatively large Indian troops stationed here. After receiving the news that the local riots were out of control, the Indian army immediately entered the town and related areas to bring the situation under control. However, these Indian soldiers lacked experience in managing such crises, and their methods were simple and crude, and when they saw that Indians were killed by locals, many irrational Indian soldiers shot directly at the locals.
By the evening of the same day, when the chaos had largely subsided, more than 400 people had been killed or wounded, including Indians and Han Tibetans, of whom the vast majority of the casualties were due to the massacre by the Indian military and police.
The group of more than 100 students who snatched the weapons that day was also pursued by the Indian army. After another "miraculous" maneuver with the Indian army for several days, the group retreated north along the Brahmaputra River, retreating through the mountains until they finally reached the vicinity of the Line of Actual Control between China and India.
At a time when the students were on the verge of desperation due to a lack of food, warm clothing and ammunition, they encountered Chinese border guards patrolling the area. The border guards consisted of only a dozen people, and they were able to advance and retreat with ease, even in the mountainous areas on the edge of the plateau. This is thanks to the improved Reaper mech they equipped. Each patrol team is equipped with two Reaper mechs, which are one size larger than a scythe and can accommodate up to six crew members, and four mechs can navigate the more difficult terrain. At the same time, it can also adopt the road maneuver mode, which can retract the machine enough to fit the upper four wheels for high-speed maneuvering on flat ground. In terms of weapons, it is equipped with a 30mm cannon and a simple guided rocket launcher, equipped with two parallel machine guns, which can be regarded as fierce.
Because it is particularly suitable for fighting in the mountains, and because the leather is durable and can adapt to the plateau environment, coupled with its low price and high cost performance, a large number of such mecha are equipped in the border troops of Xinjiang and Tibet. Even, because there is an air conditioner installed in the cockpit, it is much better to patrol in the cockpit of the mecha in the cold than to suffer outside, so this equipment is deeply loved by front-line officers and soldiers.
Seeing a group of people who looked like Hanako but still holding weapons, the border guards on the two mechs immediately became nervous. Just as they were about to react, the group of discouraged students dropped their weapons, as they recognized the red eight-five-star emblem on the steel monster.
The presence of the Reapers on the border is not a secret and something that the Indian army is deeply afraid of, and rumors about the Reapers are also widely circulated in the pseudo-Arunachal Pradesh. The students also know that the Chinese army in the north is much stronger than the Indian army, and they have a variety of advanced weapons, including this mecha that can advance with a mechanical foot.
"Help us, please help us!" A young student shouted loudly in English.
In the driver's cabin, a few border guards, you look at me, I look at you, they all have limited English skills, that is, they understand some things like "don't move your hands when you raise your hands" in the handbook that was handed out, and if you want to say that you can understand the English spoken by others, it is far from being able to.
At this time, another young student shouted in his own language: "We have no hostility, we are being hunted by the Indians!" ”
One of the young fighters in Mecha No. 2 understood, and he shouted, "Squad leader, that baby is shouting our Menba dialect!" ”
The Monba people are one of the ethnic minorities in China, similar to the Tibetans in terms of customs and deeply influenced by the Tibetans. A considerable number of the Menba people live in the actual control area of India, and the little warrior in the second mecha is a Menba people.
"Go down and ask what's going on." The commander of the mecha explained, but at the same time, he did not let his guard down, and the guns of the mecha were still aimed at these down-and-out students.
These students are not very old, basically middle school students, and they are all children, and when the little Menba warriors came down, they couldn't help but be sad and began to cry about their experiences in the past few days, especially when the little Menba soldiers heard the young men of the same tribe tell about the killing and humiliation of their compatriots by the Indians, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to break the bodies of the Indians into thousands of pieces.
Before the students' cries were over, the border guards on the mecha noticed the situation. A group of Indian soldiers is coming towards them, a buffer zone between the two sides, and although both sides take turns patrolling, abrupt crossings of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are not common, especially when one side is on patrol and the other side does not usually come to see each other.
Instinctively nervous at the sight of the Indian army coming, the students picked up their weapons again and looked at the two formidable Chinese mechs with hopeful eyes.
"Squad leader, what shall we do?" The little warrior of the Momba tribe asked.
The squad leader knew that any rash move could lead to a conflict, and he himself could be labeled as a frivolous provocation. However, the border guards on the Tibetan border have also been very tough in recent years, and the leading idea above is not to suffer losses and not to be afraid of trouble, so the squad leader roughly considered it and decided to save this group of students.
"One, take them first!" The squad leader ordered, and he drove the mecha in front of the group of Indian soldiers, even if there were dozens of Indian soldiers and nearly a hundred, but they could not shake the murderous harvester with just some light weapons in their hands.
The Indian soldiers immediately saw the Chinese's intentions, but the group of Indians was also chasing after the red eyes, and they were unwilling to let go of this group of students, the Indian officer raised his gun and fired in the direction of the students, and this reckless behavior was immediately understood by the Chinese mecha as a provocation, and the 30mm cannon was immediately aimed at the group of Indians......
