Chapter 340 Chaos in South Asia
Just as the fighting on Sumatra was in full swing, the Soviet Union suddenly issued a public statement, saying that according to the agreement signed between the two countries, the Soviet Union would supply weapons to Cuba and send technical experts to provide support.
However, in fact, when the Soviet Union officially announced it, the transportation of its weapons and equipment and related personnel had already been completed.
However, Khrushchev had made a promise in a letter to John that he would never transfer counterattack weapons to a third country in order to repel the invaders, and would ensure that no incidents would arise before the US congressional elections.
Therefore, John did not attach too much importance to this news from the Soviet Union. He only slightly increased his reconnaissance efforts on Cuba, trying to understand the true intention of the Soviet Union.
Only Wang Ze understands that an extremely dangerous competition has begun, which will be a serious crisis that may lead the world into war.
Of course, Wang Ze firmly believes that even if a world war really breaks out, South China is fully capable of protecting itself in Southeast Asia.
So he immediately issued an order to the space agency to speed up the launch of the reconnaissance satellite.
He understood that he had to be fully prepared to deal with the worst-case scenario, after all, history had changed too much under his influence.
What if this time was also changed? He couldn't really guarantee that the ending in his mind would really happen as expected.
The production capacity of Nanhua's factories, especially the military factories, increased dramatically, and missiles, guns and tanks rolled off the production lines continuously.
At the same time, the Navy has also stepped up its pace to provide accelerated training for new recruits and directly assign them to various ships for practical operation training.
Although this practice-based training method consumes a lot of resources, Nanhua is not short of these materials.
Through a lot of practical experience, soldiers can master various skills more quickly.
Time passed day by day, until October 10, when John received the latest report from expert appraisal.
This report shocked him: based on the analysis of photos taken by the U2 reconnaissance aircraft, the launch pad at the missile launch site built in Cuba actually has the ability to launch nuclear missiles!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering the peace in John's heart.
In anger, John immediately contacted the Soviet side via radio and strongly demanded that they withdraw the missile launch sites deployed in Cuba.
A fierce diplomatic confrontation broke out and the two sides were at a stalemate.
At the same time, countries around the world are also paying close attention to the crisis, fearing that the situation will get out of control and trigger a global conflict.
Just as the United States and the Soviet Union were in a tense confrontation, on October 10, the mainland announced a self-defense counterattack against India.
Under Nanhua's coordination, supplies from the mainland poured into the mainland-controlled areas of southern Tibet through the Myanmar border.
In just two days, the strongholds occupied by the Indian army were quickly cleared.
Thanks to the powerful transportation capabilities of airships and continuous deliveries over the past year, the mainland military has a steady supply of supplies and ample materials.
Since October 10, the mainland has decisively advanced into the disputed area, annihilated three Indian brigades in one fell swoop, and captured 23 Indian soldiers.
At the same time, the secret guards took the opportunity to find independent armed forces on the India-Myanmar border.
"We can provide you with 3000 guns and 70 light artillery pieces, but the prerequisite is that you must declare independence immediately." A member of the Dark Guard said firmly.
"Who are you?" The armed leader stared at the secret guards with suspicion.
"Is this important?" the secret guard asked with a smile.
The leader fell into a brief silence, then gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, I agree! When can the weapons be delivered to us?"
“Everything has been arranged, you can send someone to pick it up now.
But I hope you can take action within two days." The dark guard said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.
The two men looked at each other, and the armed leader looked at the confident man in front of him, and couldn't help but have a hint of speculation in his heart.
He wondered to himself, is this person from the mainland?
But in any case, he had gained his benefits, and declaring independence was exactly what he had always wanted.
When he saw that the mainland had beaten India without any chance of fighting back, he began to despise India's combat effectiveness.
So he said without hesitation: "Okay, I agree, but I need more food because our current reserves cannot support a possible battle with India."
The secret guard thought for a moment and replied: "Once you start the action, we will send you a batch of food. In addition, if India attacks you, we will provide another batch of food and give you an additional 50 US dollars as aid. If you fail, we will also ensure your safety and arrange for you to go to the United States."
Hearing this, the leader's originally calm heart suddenly became excited, and even the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
After all, in the 60s, $50 was a huge fortune, enough for him to buy a piece of land in the United States and live a happy life.
So the leader led everyone to follow the secret guards to get equipment.
Fortunately, there were plenty of bullets, and under the guidance of the secret guards, the leader and his men gradually became familiar with the use of firearms and artillery after a whole day of study and preliminary training.
Then, on the third day, shocking news came: three ethnic armed groups declared independence one after another! This sudden change put Nehru in a huge dilemma.
Because this is no longer just a problem in southern Tibet. If problems arise in the area east of Assam, it will be an unbearable blow to India.
It is even possible that all the land east of the Siliguri Corridor will be lost.
Nehru immediately stopped paying attention to the battlefield in southern Tibet and urgently mobilized the 20,000 troops originally planned to be deployed in southern Tibet to the eastern region.
However, despite the reinforcements, these three ethnic armed groups took advantage of the mountainous terrain, making it difficult for the Indian army to break through the defense line.
At the same time, as India's support did not keep up, mainland China also stepped up its offensive and successfully recovered all disputed territories on the eastern and western fronts in just five days.
Faced with such a serious situation, Nehru was at a loss.
What's worse is that even East and West Pakistan have begun to stir, bringing more pressure to India.
The series of setbacks threw Nehru's government into chaos, and at a military meeting, the military made it clear that they could not cope with fighting on multiple fronts at the same time.
India must make a decision as to in which direction to launch the main attack.
No one spoke out clearly on this issue, but Nehru knew what the military was thinking.
However, if he gave up the southern Tibet region so easily, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to him personally.
After all, after a series of newspaper publicity, the attention of the entire Indian people has been focused on this.
However, failure in a foreign war is one thing, but allowing independent armed forces to succeed is another matter, and such a precedent must never be set.
Nehru set his sights on Army Lieutenant General Brij Mohan Kaul.
At this moment, Bridget did not dare to look directly at Nehru, because he was the commander of this war against the continent.
But in reality, he remained at his home in New Delhi, directing the battle at the front by telephone and telex.
The consecutive defeats have already made him exhausted, and now, if he is asked to say with his own mouth that he will give up the war with mainland China, doesn't it mean that all the responsibility will be blamed on him?
But as everyone's eyes turned to him, it was obvious that everyone had already determined that he was the scapegoat for this failure.
At this point, Brij knew he could not escape, so he looked up at Nehru and said in a low voice: "I suggest giving up the southern Tibet region and focusing on accelerating the elimination of the independence forces."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said no more.
