Fortunately, the former commander helped them think of this problem in advance, Yang Botao has been useless since he was ordered to form China's first, temporarily and only airborne division, this time he finally has the opportunity to perform, it is by relying on them to "fly and seize the XX Bridge" again and again, the Central and South Field Army can sweep the Indian Peninsula at an incredible speed like a wind sweeping away leaves. However, the losses of the airborne division during this period were also very large, and although the officers and men of the airborne division were carefully selected from the field troops, first, the airborne troops were bound to lack heavy weapons, and second, they were bound to be besieged (Note 1), and they could not be supplied or reinforced in a short period of time, and they were also absolutely inferior in terms of troops

Although the war went surprisingly well, with the rapid advance of the PLA, the pressure on logistics and supplies also increased rapidly, and even if the Indians were far more tamed than they could have imagined and they did not have to worry too much about the destruction of the supply routes in the rear, the situation still worried Hu Weidong, for the simple reason that there was no connecting railway between India and Burma, only one road connected the two places, and even if it was used to the maximum, it would be difficult to support hundreds of thousands of troops to fight deep into India.

In response to this difficult problem, Hu Weidong proposed: "To feed the war with war, to feed the enemy, and to save as much as possible." In terms of weapons and ammunition, it is necessary to make full use of the captured guns and ammunition to reduce the transportation pressure in the rear, anyway, now that the main force of the enemy army has been basically wiped out, even if the PLA is equipped with British equipment and saves ammunition, it will not be too difficult to fight those Indian recruits; And for food and other necessities of life. Hu Weidong believes that it can be completely solved on the spot, no matter how poor India is, after all, it feeds more than 300 million people, and squeezing out a little of it is enough for the front-line troops to eat, even if it is purchased with money, the money seized when capturing various large and medium-sized cities in India is enough to pay for these expenses.

However, India is not domestic, and because of the party's effective work in the white areas, even if the Red Army or the People's Liberation Army went to the enemy-occupied areas to fight on the outside front, they could mobilize some of the masses to some extent, and the government had no control over the grassroots at all. So you can buy a little bit with money; And India is, after all, a foreign country. Although the Indian Red Party has developed rapidly, its foundation is weak, and the total number of party members now totals only more than 10,000. Nor is it enough to influence among the Indian masses. Therefore, Hu Weidong felt that he should still prepare for the worst. If you can't buy it with money. Compulsory expropriation could be considered.

"It's a policy violation, right?" , Peng Xuefeng, who has now been promoted to deputy political commissar and chief of staff of the Central and Southern Field Army, frowned.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't infringe on the interests of the poor, it's not a serious mistake. And let the Indian comrades do it. Hu Weidong replied disapprovingly, he naturally knew that this would cause the Indian Red Party to arouse widespread hostility among the wealthy class, which was very detrimental to its liberation of India, but Hu Weidong had never thought of helping India to become independent and liberated, in his opinion, China's support of the Indian Red Party was just to make the British uncomfortable and weaken the influence of the Soviet Union on India after the war, if the Indian Red Party developed too smoothly, he would have to worry, after all, India is also a large country with a large population and rich resources (but the comprehensiveness is far worse than China), And the red ideology is precisely the biggest nemesis of the caste system, which is the cancer of India, and once India is completely red, it may really become China's fierce enemy, which is obviously what Hu Weidong does not want to see

Since the Red Party in India had too shallow roots and was almost entirely dependent on foreign Chinese troops at this time, the demands of the Chinese comrades were met as much as possible, even though they were suspicious. It's just that there is an extreme disparity between the rich and the poor in India, and most of the grain is concentrated in the hands of those rich people, except for the stocks of the colonial government, and the princes of those pro-British princely states were eliminated by the way as early as when the army crossed the border, and all the grain stocks were naturally confiscated to supplement the military funds, but for the surplus grain in the hands of other rich people, the Indian Red Party still hoped to spend money on behalf of China in a peaceful way at the beginning, but in the process of implementation, there was a great deviation in this policy

On the one hand, the Indian Red Party, which has expanded in size no less than ten times in the past few months, has inevitably been mixed in with a large number of speculators, and a large number of them have taken advantage of this opportunity to seek personal gains, resulting in the purchase that should have been made at a fair price becoming a forced purchase at a low price, or even a direct expropriation without compensation.

But the more important problem lies in the caste system that has been formed in India for thousands of years, and those Indians who have surplus food are basically high-caste, while most of the current members of the Indian Red Party are from the low-caste, including the "untouchables", although the low-caste in India still makes people "lament their misfortune and anger them." But not everyone is defiant of the spirit of resistance, and most of those who dare to join the Red Party are determined to overthrow the dark caste system in India. But because of this, when they are sent out on a mission, it is difficult to calmly communicate with the patience of the upper castes (although if you do, they may not pay attention to you at all), and they are generally more inclined to simple and rude methods, and there are many who take the opportunity to declare personal vendettas, which naturally leads to a series of problems.

However, this is a small problem in Hu Weidong's eyes, as long as the military rations of the front-line troops can be solved, he doesn't care what those Indians do. Moreover, they have unwittingly made the Indian Red Party "led by the working class, and the peasant class is the natural ally." "The lower the caste, the more revolutionary" is not necessarily a bad thing for China. Because of the difference in blood and class, it is impossible for a person to change after birth, and the Indian Red Party is so messy that it is tantamount to forcing high-caste individuals to be hostile to it without choice, and now that the Chinese army is there, those who oppose it do not dare to jump out, but the PLA will eventually leave

The lower and middle castes in India (including Vaishyas, Shudras, and untouchables) account for more than ninety percent of the population (later India was ridiculed as "only 100 million people, and everything else is animals.") However, at this time, the degree of educational fairness in India was not as good as that of later generations, and there were pitiful few low-caste intellectuals, and the result of the absolutization of caste contradictions by the Indian Red Party was that it was difficult for them to obtain the support of Indian intellectuals, and without the participation of intellectuals, the Indian revolution would never have succeeded, and India that could not be red would have been able to completely eliminate the caste system, and it would be difficult to pose a threat to China, and Hu Weidong could rest assured

Note 1: For the time being, the Chinese Air Force is not capable of carrying out large-scale airborne landings of more than one regiment, and generally only one battalion or even fewer troops will be airborne on one target, and they often need to fight against the Anglo-Indian troops ten times or even dozens of times their strength.
