Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The proud Nehru and the Indian government he led greatly upheld the "India-centric" view of the British Empire, and fully inherited the political strategies and strategies of the British-Indian colonial period.After the British forces withdrew from South Asia and the surrounding areas of the Indian Ocean, the independent Indian government believes that only India is qualified to fill the vacancy caused by the British withdrawal, and only it has the ability to fully inherit the political and military legacy left by the British. "Becoming the center of every part of Asia".The Congress Party and its leaders, who were the ruling party after India's independence, have long regarded themselves as the sole legal heirs of the British-Indian colonial regime.

Nehru even believed: "Whether it is the Middle East, West Asia, Southeast Asia or China, they will all rely on India economically, politically and for defense purposes."

Nehru was even ambitious to establish a great Indian empire. He made it clear at the beginning of his tenure as Prime Minister of India: "My personal view on the future prospect is this: I think a federation will be established in the future, including China, India, and Burma. and Sikkim, Afghanistan and others."

From this point of view, the concept of Nehru's Great Indian Empire has developed on the basis of the so-called Indian security strategy in the British and Indian period, and even included Southeast Asia and China in its sphere of influence.

After India's independence, the Indian government led by Nehru carried out the long-established vision of the Great Indian Empire in a planned and step-by-step manner.The specific implementation steps are to first unify the South Asian subcontinent, stabilize the backyard, and then completely occupy the favorable terrain of the northern mountains and the strategic passage leading to the hinterland of Asia. A unified Great Indian Empire linking Southeast Asia to the Middle East.However, because India lacks the strength of the United Kingdom, it actively participates in world affairs to improve its international status, and then seeks to become a world power as a national strategic focus.For this reason, India set up the banner of "non-alignment" in order to seek the greatest interests between the two camps; in South Asia, through the use of force or the threat of force, it will establish the image of a regional power as soon as possible and completely replace the United Kingdom in South Asia. The status and role of the region.

In order to truly become the "center of all parts of Asia" and build the Great Indian Empire in a not too long period of time, the Nehru government completely disregarded the difficult situation facing the country, and was keen to use military and diplomatic The means are to expand the sphere of influence and forcibly expand the national security frontier to an ideal position.

Under this strategic thinking, Nehru also believed that, "No matter in the past or present, all the countries that dominate South Asia have strategically considered the Andaman Islands, which is located in the golden waterway, as an extremely important area. Whoever is in this area will have an unquestionable advantage over the opponent."

However, such a strategic concept has to consider the influence of China first. It will not be easy for anyone to serve as a foil to a rising power, especially since China and India are both ancient civilizations and have had incomparable brilliance in history. In the era of the dynasty, India has just woken up from its sinking, and China has become a world giant, so the biggest problem for Nehru after he came to power is how to deal with the relationship with China. On the one hand, he must carefully establish a good relationship with China, so that Only India can gain room for development; on the one hand, China is regarded as the biggest stumbling block or imaginary enemy of India's development, and it is always thinking about how to surpass or limit this country.Nehru knew that relying solely on India's strength was far from enough. Fortunately, behind him was Britain, a traditional world power.

"With its current status, India cannot play a second-class role in the world. It must either become a big country with a strong reputation, or it will disappear." After Nehru reported the Sino-Indian shipment incident, he told President Pra Sand said that.

Prasad knows that he is a president who is almost empty-handed. He also admires Nehru's talent in governing the country, especially his ambition to sweep everything away. But when he thinks that his opponent is China this time, he can't help but feel a little worried. Said: "My Prime Minister, your idea is good, and I appreciate it very much, but I have to remind you, don't forget who our opponent is, he is not the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, or France. He is China."

Nehru contemplated for a moment, and said with conviction: "For India, this is a turning point in history, but in any case, India needs to have a position in Asia and in the world that matches its status as a major country. And this is just A local incident, I firmly believe that for China, which is determined to develop its national power, the possibility of an all-out war between China and India is almost zero. Even if it does come to that point, we have nothing to fear. Maybe India is still far away Far from being an opponent of China, but we are backed by the British Empire, and even dozens of dominions of the Commonwealth of Nations are supporting us. No matter how powerful China is, can a lion deal with a pack of wolves? No matter what , I cannot tolerate the situation where China dominates Asia any longer.”

Looking at the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, Prasad said thoughtfully, "Well, I hope we made the right decision."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" On March 1911, 3, in the Zhengda Guangming Palace, all the civil and military ministers above the fourth grade in Beijing were present. I was in a hurry, but this time the atmosphere in the hall was extremely chilling, and people faintly felt the tension that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building!

Guan Xuqing didn't have any expression on his face on the Xumizuo, he watched everyone present calmly, his eyes slashed across people's faces like a knife's edge, and everyone's heart couldn't help jumping. "Is everyone here?"

"Back to the emperor, everything is here." Feng Xianghua replied from the side.

The ministers thought that the emperor was going to announce an important order, but Guan Xuqing suddenly said solemnly: "Everyone came in a hurry, have you had breakfast yet?"

Three Thousand Miles of Wind and Thunder Chapter 661 Why Do You Want to Fuck India?

The ministers all smiled, and said one after another: "Go back to the emperor, we have eaten."

Guan Xu smiled lightly, then recovered his solemn look, and said loudly: "An accident happened in the waters on the Sino-Indian border today, Zixiang, tell me about it."

Liu Buchan strode out of the shift, bowed to the emperor, and then turned around and said: "At about 7:30 this morning, in the waters 120 nautical miles from the north of Sumatra Island, the imperial fishing boat was attacked by an Indian patrol ship. When they arrived at the waters where the incident occurred, they attacked two Indian patrol ships, causing one to sink and one to escape. Then our patrol ship issued a message to the world in the form of a clear telegram: "The Chinese government has officially taken over the Andaman Islands. And exercise sovereignty over the island. 'Currently, our patrol ships are going around the island for vigilance, and the Indian attack warships may arrive at the Andaman Islands at any time, so the situation is very critical."

After saying these words, Liu Buchan took a big breath, his chest heaved violently, he didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement.People involuntarily let out a burst of exclamation, no one thought that this incident would come so suddenly, more importantly, today the emperor called everyone together to announce this news in public, which seems to have foreshadowed the importance of this incident to people sex.

Guan Xuqing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "I called you here today just to hear your opinions. Now that things have become serious, what do you think should be done?"

Sheng Xuanhuai, minister of the Ministry of Commerce, went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter involves the relationship between China and India. If it is not handled properly, it may make the situation worse. At present, the empire is developing and building. If it leads to war , I am afraid that it will have a major impact on the development of the empire, so it is better to handle this matter cautiously. What I mean is to order the patrol ship to withdraw to Singapore immediately, and at the same time, explain the process of this matter through a note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Indian government. Try to resolve it through diplomatic means, and turn hostility into friendship."

Minister of Industry Yang Rui also said: "Yes, I agree with Xingsun's opinion. It is better not to escalate this matter. The overall peace of the empire is hard-won and must not be easily destroyed."

Minister of Education Kang Youwei also said: "How can I, a Chinese leader like me, care about a small country like India? It is unwise to make a big loss because of a small loss. It is a villain's deed to be rewarded, not to mention the educational cause of the empire. In the ascendant, money is needed everywhere, and if there is another war, no one can afford it."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Du from the Ministry of Culture, Yang Shiqi from the Ministry of Development and Planning, and other civil officials spoke in favor of a peaceful solution.The situation on the scene seemed to have formed an overwhelmingly peaceful tone in an instant.

However, the military chiefs headed by Xu Shichang and Liu Buchan held another view. Xu Shichang deliberately let the Ministry of the Army show its hand in front of the emperor and the ministers, and looked back at the officers standing behind him. On the body of Jiang Baili, director of the Research Department.

Speaking of Jiang Baili, he can be said to be a genius in the military field of the empire. He has amazing attainments in military theory research and has written many books. Director of Military Research.In his first year as principal, a miracle happened that shocked the whole school.

It was the second month of Yuan Shikai's rebellion. It was just dawn, and more than 1 faculty members and students from all over the school gathered in front of the Martial Arts Hall to listen to the principal's urgent lecture.Jiang Baili said in a low tone: "When I first came to our school, I taught you that you must do what I want you to do. I must also do what you want me to do. If you can't do it, I want to do it." Punish you. I can't do it, and I have to punish myself. Now it seems that you are all right, and you have not done anything wrong to me. When the country suffers from natural and man-made disasters, and seeing Yuan go against the trend and occupy a large area of ​​Nanyang, we It is a great shame to me that I am not able to go to battle to protect China as a soldier, and I cannot fulfill my duties as a principal. When he got here, he actually pulled out a pistol from his waist.Seeing that the situation was not good, the orderly rushed forward and tried to grab the gun. The muzzle of the gun tilted, and with a "bang", the bullet was shot between the ribs.

Hearing the gunshot, everyone in the audience was stunned: the principal committed suicide!

After the gunfire, the students in the front row rushed up, carried Jiang Baili into the principal's office, and made him lie flat on the bed.The school's academic affairs office quickly reported the matter to the Minister of Education, Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei did not dare to delay and reported it to Feng Xianghua.

Guan Xuqing also gasped when he heard this, and thought that this Jiang Baili is really a bloody man. What is the difference between cultivating military talents for the empire and going to battle to kill the enemy? He immediately said to Feng Xianghua: "This trauma should not be delayed. It’s better to find a western doctor. You will only know Wu Tingfang, tell him to go to the German legation, and ask them to send the best surgeon. If necessary, use a military plane to pick him up. In short, Jiang Baili can’t have an accident. Talent is rare. "

A quarter of an hour later, the German legation immediately dispatched two resident doctors to the mainland for emergency treatment.Guan Xuqing issued two more orders, one ordering Zhang Yaoting, the director of the school's academic affairs, to act as the principal temporarily, and the other ordering Zhao Bingjun to go to the mainland to investigate the truth of the incident.

The next morning, Guan Xuqing called Xu Shichang, and Xu Shichang reported that after investigation by the Ministry of the Army, Principal Jiang committed suicide for another reason, which had nothing to do with the Ministry of the Army.After hearing this, Guan Xuqing said: "Don't worry about this matter, the Ministry of the Army, and don't listen to your subordinates!" Xu Shichang was very embarrassed.

Before Jiang Baili committed suicide, he left suicide notes to his mother, Zhang Yaoting, the director of academic affairs of the school, and his friend Cai E.The letter to his mother said: "To be loyal to the country, although death is not important, it is beneficial to the future of the army and the empire. I hope that I can arouse the conscience of the rebels with my own blood."

After Jiang Baili's suicide and the publication of his suicide note, there was an uproar in the country.Cai E, who was suppressing rebellion in Nanyang, was the first to fire a cannon and electrified the whole country, hoping that the court would thoroughly investigate the matter and hold him accountable.Imperial Prime Minister Liang Qichao also said: "If the case does not come to light, we will not let it go." There were a lot of telegrams from various groups expressing condolences to Jiang Baili, and there were endless telegrams demanding to find out the truth of the matter.The students of the Imperial Continent, according to the provincial nationality, nominate one person from each province to form a petition team to the cabinet.

Fortunately, when Jiang Baili committed suicide, because the orderly stepped forward to grab the gun, the bullet missed and did not hurt the heart, but scratched the surface of the lung.Although a lot of blood accumulated in the abdominal cavity, his life was not in danger at the moment.After a period of recuperation, the body slowly recovered.Fortunately, as soon as he recovered from his injury, he called the news media to publicly clarify the truth, stating that the suicide incident was his own recklessness and had nothing to do with other things, and the turmoil gradually subsided.

At this time, in the court hall, seeing Xu Shichang winking at him, Jiang Baili understood, calmed down and said loudly: "Your servant, Jiang Baili, has something to say." As he spoke, he strode out of the class and came to stand under Danxi.

Guan Xuqing knew that this person had unique views on military affairs and current affairs, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Baili, if you have something to say, just say it. What do you think?"

Jiang Baili bowed, made a four-way bow to the civil and military officials present, and then said: "I am short-sighted, and I have not spoken properly. Please correct me. I think that since the matter has come to an end At this level, compromise and concession will only fuel the arrogance of the Indian government. In the relationship between countries, it is impossible to make a conclusion about who is right and who is wrong in this kind of matter. The key is to see who can overwhelm the opponent and whose strength can force the opponent to make concessions. The emperor has told us many times that war is also a political investment, but the risk is much greater in comparison. However, after comparing the strengths of China and India, we have nothing to worry about even if this matter leads to a war. Once we win, our gains will be dozens of times or even more than the war investment. hundred times."

Jiang Baili took a few steps in the hall leisurely, and said slowly: "First of all, it is the comparison of the national strengths of the two countries. India has just been established for a few years, and most of the country is still a mess left by the United Kingdom. It is impossible to catch up with me. Not to mention. In terms of military expenditure, the current annual military budget of the empire is about 14 billion dragon coins, while according to our knowledge, the Indian military budget is only equivalent to 4 million dragon coins. In recent years, in order to quickly catch up with China's military strength, India has given up India has spent a large amount of investment in industrial construction and desperately increased its military expenditure. In the past few years, India's annual military expenditure has grown at an average rate of 18% per year. India will catch up with us in two years. What's worse is that a large part of India's military expenditure is used to buy military equipment from the United Kingdom, and now it has surpassed France to become the largest arms importer of the United Kingdom. The military expenditure of the empire focuses on In terms of improving logistics facilities and independent research and development of armaments. The difference cannot be counted.”

"The third is the comparison of military equipment. First of all, let's talk about aviation technology. China is the first country in the world to have fighter jets, and the performance of the empire's fighter jets is also the first in the world so far. Although India has also established an air force, it retains India has a certain number of fighter jets, but India’s fighter jets have always relied on technical assistance from Britain, France and other countries. They do not yet have a complete set of production capabilities, and have not obtained complete aviation technology capabilities. Both methods require a large amount of military and economic support. As for the navy, India does not have a strong shipbuilding industry, and domestic warships must rely on foreign countries to provide all their technology. If foreign technical assistance is lost, India's shipbuilding industry will be paralyzed immediately. India has hoped for many years It has its own submarines, but cannot receive technical support from relevant countries, and has no research and development capabilities. As for the army, India still does not have a complete independent production capacity for army weapons and equipment. For example, importing cannons requires importing shells. The tanks developed and produced by India itself are not wanted by the Indian Army itself. India’s military development is extremely unbalanced. The empire’s military expenditures are roughly used for equipment procurement, maintenance, personnel, and training, while India’s military expenditures are mainly headcount and equipment procurement fees. , and the proportion of training and equipment maintenance costs is obviously unreasonable.”

Wind and Thunder Surge Three Thousand Miles Chapter 662 Secret Operation in Southern Tibet

Jiang Baili continued: "In addition, India's armament and logistics management is very backward. In the past, it often purchased ammunition and weapon parts in the international arms market before the war started. Local military operations. The Lower Kargil conflict is an example. In such a small-scale border conflict, India’s opponent was still armed with Muslims. It almost used up the large-caliber artillery shells in its inventory and made surprise purchases in the international market after the war. From this situation It can be seen that although the Indian army has relatively advanced equipment, its logistics and management are very backward. I won’t say much about the specific time limit for China’s armament, but it will never happen that we have to buy bullets before the war.”

He finally concluded: "India's GDP is only one-thirtieth of the empire's, but its military expenditure has always wanted to be equal to that of the empire. It spends a huge amount of military expenditure every year to purchase a large amount of military equipment, and the super warships purchased with huge sums of money need Huge maintenance costs, and a lot of effort to catch up with China's military status, etc. But the domestic infrastructure is very weak, the people live in poverty, and the investment in industry and agriculture is not as strong as the military. India Dozens of religions have dozens of religious beliefs. It may be difficult to unify the ideas and thoughts among religions. This is doomed to India as a country with a relatively complicated society. In contrast, although there are some empires such as India has the same problem, but the proportion of military expenditure is not as blind as India. The government pays more attention to people's livelihood issues, infrastructure issues and investment than India. China has 56 ethnic groups, but since Emperor Kangxi, regardless of race, the world is one After the policy, the ethnic groups have now reached the state of living in harmony with each other. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about accidents in this war. I think we should take this opportunity to turn India and even the South Asian subcontinent into an empire. scope."

Jiang Baili's in-depth and detailed analysis made most of the people present look at this young officer with admiration and clicked their tongues in admiration. Many people also cast envious glances at Xu Shichang. As everyone knows, the Ministry of the Army has the "Five Tiger Generals" of the younger generation of the empire. These five people are Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Jiang Baili, Cai E, and Zhang Xiaozhun. Guaranteed to make these big officials dumbfounded.

Guan Xuqing nodded and said: "Baili's words are very good. He is penetrating and citing extensively. He is indeed the principal of the Imperial Continental University and an expert in imperial military theory. Hehe..." When he said this, he suddenly suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice : "This incident is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A while ago, Tang Shaoyi was arguing that the Ministry of Finance could not spend so much money. This time, we will take the money from India. There are three reasons. First, as we all know, India is located in The South Asian subcontinent is adjacent to Pakistan, China, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, bordering on the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, guarding the mouth of the Far East and Central Asia, and the importance of its geographical location can be imagined. Once it is controlled After entering India, we will gain another sea outlet to the world. The Indian Ocean and the Strait of Malacca will become the two sharp knives of the empire, piercing the heart of the world. Second, India is very rich in resources. According to the Indian government's announcement According to the data we have, India's bauxite reserves and coal production rank fifth in the world, with more than 460 billion tons of coal, nearly 1 billion tons of iron ore, more than 10 million tons of iron ore, and nearly 1000 tons of gold. There are also nearly 100 billion tons of oil, and in addition, there are rich mineral deposits such as mica, gypsum, diamonds, titanium, uranium, and uranium. However, the utilization rate of resources in India is very low, and the development and utilization are not high. Therefore, there are still a lot of underground resources Resources are waiting for us to exploit. Third, the plains of India account for about two-fifths of the total area, the mountains only one-fourth, and the plateaus one-third, but most of these mountains and plateaus do not exceed [-] meters above sea level. m. The low and gentle terrain has an absolute advantage in the whole country, not only the transportation is convenient, but also with the cooperation of the tropical monsoon climate and the fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture. It can grow in all seasons and has unique natural conditions. Therefore, as long as India is controlled, it will bring inexhaustible wealth to the empire. Shaochuan, what is the [-] billion? The last point, India has always been Taking China as the biggest imaginary enemy, and always looking for opportunities to bring down the empire, what is there to show mercy to such an insidious and cunning country, so I decided that since the incident happened, we will follow the trend and expand the incident infinitely, even if it comes to the launch The point of total war!"

After the court meeting, Guan Xuqing specially left Feng Xianghua, Xu Shichang, and Jiang Baili behind, and gave secret instructions to the three of them to go back.

The imperial court began to build the South Tibet Railway in this area the year before last. The total length of the line is 153 kilometers, of which the total length of bridges and tunnels is 85 kilometers, accounting for 18.00% of the total length of the line. There are 13 stations on the Southern Tibet Railway, which is a major project of the empire in Tibet. It is estimated that it will take at least five years to complete the entire line. On the open land of the Kejielang River Valley in Cuona County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, the railway for this distance has just been completed. , Many large machinery have not had time to be transported away.In normal times, this place is inaccessible, and you would never have thought that the fuse of the Sino-Indian war would be lit from here.

Stationed in this area is the 56th Division under the Southwest Military Region. The division commander Sun Liren and the chief of staff Wei Lihuang are both outstanding students who graduated from the Imperial Continent, and they are also the rising stars of the Imperial Army.As soon as it got dark that day, the communications soldier came to Sun Liren's office and handed over a telegram from the Ministry of the Army, with three seals on it, and the word "Top Secret" written in bright red under the big seal of the Ministry of the Army.

Sun Liren immediately raised his attention when he saw this top-secret telegram. He didn't dare to open this top-secret telegram easily, so he called the Chief of Staff Wei Lihuang. Wei Lihuang was also surprised when he saw it. Where the eggs are laid, will there be any major military operations?

The two opened the telegram carefully, and after reading the content, they all took a breath.The two did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the two confidant brigade commanders of the division headquarters to convey the order of action face to face, and asked everyone to keep the secret, prepare separately, and never leak it.

At noon the next day, a mysterious green military vehicle arrived at the division headquarters of the 56th Division through multiple checkpoints. A young man under the age of 30 stepped out of the vehicle, dressed in plain clothes and carrying a brown briefcase. Combing shiny parted hair, shaking hands with Sun Liren and Wei Lihuang with a smile on his face, he came to the teacher's office, and three additional guard posts were sent at the door.

"Dare to ask, are you Mr. Dai, the special commissioner sent by the Ministry of the Army?" Sun Liren asked while pouring tea for him.

The man smiled slightly and said, "I didn't wear a hat before, and I served in the Department of Intelligence and Operations of the Ministry of Army."

Sun Liren and Wei Lihuang stood in awe, and solemnly gave a military salute to Dai Li.Dai Li waved his hands to get on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and breathed out a white mist, and then solemnly said: "This operation is no small matter. One is to do a good job of keeping secrets, the other is to find good candidates, and the third is to ensure the action There can be no mistakes in the process, this is what Mr. Xu personally requested."

Sun Liren and Wei Lihuang stood at attention and said, "I promise to live up to Mr. Xu's entrustment."

Next, the three of them had a secret discussion on the action plan in this office, and finally agreed: the action site was chosen to be in the lower reaches of Kejielang River Valley in Cuona County. To retreat, the action time is set on March 3. At that time, a large area of ​​highland barley has been cut down, and the ground is exposed, which is convenient for action.

In order to implement this plan, they carefully searched for candidates.Dai Li pointed out: "If irrelevant people are involved, it is very likely that the secret will be leaked, so it took a lot of painstaking effort to select the candidates. If this operation is entrusted to ordinary non-military personnel, it will be easy anyway. exposure, so only the use of military personnel is the best policy."

After some serious deliberation, Sun Liren finally handed over the task to Xin Baoshan, the commander of the blasting company, and Li Youren, the commander of the reconnaissance company, and asked them to form a secret operation team.Xin Baoshan transferred two team members who were engineers and were familiar with blasting technology from the independent garrison to the detachment, and issued secret orders to them in person.
