Chapter 682: Subcontinental War (2)
PS: Asking for tickets at the beginning of the month......
..................................................................
May 5, Republic 2783 (1942), Hankyong, General Staff.
Early this morning, Wen Deji came to the General Staff Headquarters in Xinye District. The main building of the General Staff is a 24-story building, which is very inconspicuous. The only highlight is a 156-metre-high radio tower raised from the rooftop. There are also four huge pot-lid-type satellite signal antennas on the roof of the building.
"Nepal is playing well...... "Wen Deji nodded with satisfaction. He was in the deduction hall on the 9th floor of the General Staff at this time.
Liu Yiqiang, deputy chief of general staff, said: "The start was good, but they only caught Marat off guard, and Marat was in infighting. If Marat's side had reacted, they wouldn't have gone so well. After all, Marat is a large country with a population of 130 million ......"
The deduction hall is a very sci-fi room, which is equipped with laser holographic satellite maps, laser holographic three-dimensional sand tables and other very avant-garde and very sci-fi things. Staff officers can intuitively see the battlefield picture here, and can also use the supporting computer to carry out simulated operations on various battlefields, just like playing games.
As long as the staff officers come up with a new plan, they can apply to their superiors to use the deduction hall to deduce their plans in a three-dimensional sand table. You can play against people and against computers. It's very fun, it's more fun than the best strategy simulation games out there, and it's impossible for a folk game to use a supercomputer to do the calculations, and it's impossible for you to write your own story.
As for whether the staff officers used this as a game lobby, I don't know. So this is probably the busiest place in the General Staff, with 4 large three-dimensional sand tables and 8 small three-dimensional sand tables waiting for people at any time. There is no way, there are professional staff officers and comprehensive staff officers from dozens of arms of the three major branches of the military, and their number is seven or eight hundred, in other words, there are seven or eight hundred professional screenwriters, and many new ideas or new brains can emerge every day.
Of course, today these staff officers have been kicked out, and now the deduction hall is full of military and political bigwigs.
"The country of Marat has a congenital flaw, because they are not a country that has developed normally, but the British have put it together. Moreover, when the British divided the subcontinent, they had too much selfishness and buried too many nails with bad intentions. Let's just say this Marat......"
Chief of the General Staff, Sinjay, manipulated a three-dimensional map to zoom in on the Marat region.
“...... You see, the state of Bihar in the north-east has always been reluctant to live with Marat. The southern state of Maharashtra is inhabited by the Maratha people, who are also old enemies with the Hindustani. Then, the western state of Rajasthan was controlled by the Democratic Liberal Party, and the Marat was also divided into two forces, the central state of Madhya Pradesh was controlled by the People's Power Alliance, and the Congress Party that held the government could only control the three states of Hindustani, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana......"
The state of Hindustan is roughly equivalent to the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the original and later India.
"The current pattern of scattered sand is the ...... caused by the British" Xin Jie lit up the current distribution of Marat's power, and saw that the huge Marat was suddenly divided into five colors.
When Rajasthan was ruled by the British, it was called Rajputana, which means "the area inhabited by the Rajput people". At that time, Rajputana had 18 princes and 2 saladhars (similar to city lords or governors), and this place of princely states was also known as "Rajawara", which means "land of earth kings". Later, the British also assigned this territory to Marat, and after Marat became independent, it was formed into a new state, which was named Rajasthan, which means "the land of princes of all princely states" in Sanskrit.
The Marat government was preparing to take power from the kings, which naturally caused the kings to reel, and the local kings and magnates united to resist the power of the Congress party. In addition, the main inhabitants of the area are Rajputs, and their relations with the Hindustani are not good, and the British can still hold them down when they are there, and this retreat will naturally cause trouble among the local kings.
And these local kings are also very good at playing, and they jointly funded the formation of a political party called the Democratic Liberal Party, yes, the "Democratic Liberal Party". The Tu kings didn't think there was anything wrong with this name, so they fought for power with the Congress Party under the banner of "democracy and freedom".
The People's Power Alliance, which controls Madhya Pradesh, was originally the second largest party in the Marat parliament and the largest opposition party, and they advocated a socialist system in India. Well, there is actually a shadow of China behind this faction. During the independence movement of the twenties, the "Marat Liberation Front", which was well known in the subcontinent, was a major component of this party. After Sino-British negotiations, Britain spit out Burma, Assam, and East Bengal, and split India into a number of autonomous states. China also declared the autonomy that the Indian people had achieved, so it took the opportunity to stop supporting the independent armed forces that it had supported.
The "Marat Liberation Front" had developed very strong at that time, with its own base area, its own factories and industries, and it had to be maintained even without the support of China, and later they united with other original independent forces with similar views to form the [People's Power Alliance], which controlled most of Madhya Pradesh and established the largest opposition party in Marat.
These people were used to armed struggle, not parliamentary struggle, so they had not played the Congress Party in the past few years, and they were holding back their anger. After the retreat of the British, the contradictions accumulated over the years finally broke out, and they began to take up arms again and engage in armed struggle.
Tang Jianhui, chairman of the new management committee, frowned and said: "If you want to say, forget about this [People's Power Alliance], after all, it was also killed by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." But isn't the Democratic Liberal Party just a bunch of local kings? How can the Marat government be considered a modern regime, and it can't be done for so long?"
Liu Yiqiang said with a smile: "The Rajputs are one of the toughest ethnic groups in the subcontinent, and they are also the so-called martial race of the British. They have traditionally been the warrior people of India, and most of the princely states in India are ruled by them. The combat effectiveness of these people is not low, and the military strength of the Marat government also has a lot of Rajput people......"
Xin Jie smiled and said: "If these forces were combined, Nepal would definitely not be so smooth, but now they are making this kind of trouble, and Nepal can only make a lot of money......
As soon as this war began, Nepal used its air superiority to beat Marat to the ground, and in less than three days, it cleaned up Marat's air force and completely controlled air supremacy. Subsequently, under the cover of the air force, the Nepalese Army rushed down the Himalayas and into the Gangetic plain.
As of yesterday, they had annihilated or routed 16 brigades of the Marat Army, totaling more than 110,000 men, occupying a large area north of the Ganges and capturing the towns of Lucknow, Gorakpur and Barelli. And this time Nepal is fighting two forces together, in addition to the Marat government army, even the next door Bihar has also cleaned up.
Bihar is a state northeast of Marat and is said to be the birthplace of Buddhism. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River basin, stretching 483 kilometers from west to east. The state has the most fertile land within India. It is worth mentioning that this is the place where the Brahmins and the untouchables in all India are fighting each other the most.
"Now Marat Prime Minister Chandra is going crazy, they are asking Nepal for peace, but ......" Foreign Minister Kafur smiled and said: "...... Nepal's current territorial claim is the entire Hindustan region, and this is the lion's mouth, and the Congress Party will not be able to agree to it no matter how crazy it is......"
"By the way, Bangladesh has officially asked us for help today, asking us to intervene in Orissa's aggression, and they are almost unable to resist it......," Cavour continued: "According to intelligence, the Gujarati of Judeo-Gujarat are also unable to withstand it, and they are also interested in asking us for help......"
"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed.
"These guys are really, they have to fight in a good life, and now they can't end the game, so they come to us. Secretary General Wu Hao of the ************ said with some schadenfreude: "This kind of thing is very troublesome to manage, I think we should not interfere easily, wait and see......"
Wen Deji glanced at him and didn't say anything. Well, he's used to it. This handsome man's performance is completely different from his memories of the original plane, not only is he not internationalist at all, but he has also become a proper great power chauvinist. Of course, there are many people who don't behave like the original plane, and that's the environmental impact.
"This time, however, Bangladesh's request is different, they want to be incorporated into China...... Cavour added.
"Yes, the land in Bangladesh is extremely fertile, and there are abundant coal and iron resources. Send it to the door now, then let's ask for it! Mr. Wen, let's ask for it......" Tang Jianhui, chairman of the new management committee, called out directly.
"What? Annexation to China? That's not good, those Gypsies are not a good thing, there are 4 million Gypsies in Bangladesh, that's 4 million ......troubles," Wu Hao shook his head and said. At the mention of the gypsy, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
"No, it's not a hassle at all. Please trust the experience of our new management committee......" Tang Jianhui, chairman of the new management committee, smiled at the Mona Lisa.
Wu Hao said very seriously: "Chairman Tang, I have no doubts about the ability of the new management committee. But have you ever thought about the refugee problem? Now that the subcontinent is full of wars, there are already a lot of refugees. If we were to merge Bangladesh, we would lose the natural protection of the Tianlai River, and our territory would border directly with the subcontinent. In other words, we will face the influx of refugees in the subcontinent......"
The "Tianlai River" he said is the Brahmaputra River, and in Tibetan, "Yalu" means coming from the sky, and "Zangbo" means river. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the place names of various places were standardized, and after 1935, the Brahmaputra River was officially renamed "Tianlai River". The border between the present-day Chinese province of South Tibet (Assam and East Bengal) and the autonomous state of Bangladesh is the Tianlai River (known as the Brahmaputra River in India and the Jamuna River in Bangladesh).
The river, which is more than 10 kilometers wide, also serves as a natural demarcation between China and the subcontinent, and if China does accept Bangladesh's request for integration, this natural danger will not exist. With China's influence in the world at this time, there is no doubt that it will definitely become the best migration target for refugees.
"According to the latest statistics, the Indian subcontinent has a population of about 270 million. Even if only one-tenth of the population becomes refugees, that is, 27 million, if they flood into our country in large numbers, even if only a fraction of them can finally reach our country, the consequences will be unimaginable...... "Our country is not rich, we are still a developing country, and we don't have so much money to support refugees......"
When everyone heard this, they also looked at each other.
