Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 935: The Celestial Empire Finally Takes Action

Chu Xiangqian didn't care whether the Indians won or lost on the battlefield.

Even from the perspective of interests, the worse India performs in the early stages of the war, the better.

Sure enough, the next day in the London futures market, international food prices began to rise.

Although the increase is not large, it also proves that international capital is pessimistic about the future war situation.

Fortunately, during this era, India's share of grain exports was very low.

This prevented concerns about food shortages.

However, the short-term futures prices of soybeans and sugar commodities soared by 11% and 17% respectively.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian did not trade soybean futures, and there were not many short-term sugar futures contracts.

Moreover, the transaction volume of sugar in the market each year can only be said to be a niche commodity compared to the share of wheat and soybeans.

Chu Xiangqian used a leverage of ten times and only bought 1200 million pounds of sugar futures contracts.

This time, the price of sugar soared by 17%, but the profit was only 204 million pounds.

It’s not that Chu Xiangqian didn’t want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, it’s just that there are not many short-term sugar futures contracts.

These were all he bought.

After selling the sugar futures contract, Chu Xiangqian resold it and used 324 million pounds including principal and interest to short the international steel price.

If nothing unexpected happens, this war will actually be very short.

It seems that the Indians are now blocked by Lao Ba on the other side of the canal.

But Tianzhu's preparations were earlier and more comprehensive than Lao Ba's.

In addition to the gap in national strength, the Indians can lose several times, but Lao Ba may be destroyed if they lose once.

However, the Celestial Empire would certainly not sit idly by and watch the Indians become more powerful.

Once the war ends within a few months, the steel prices that have been driven up during the war will surely plummet.

Sure enough, the battle on both sides of the canal broke out again after a few days of confrontation.

This time, the Indians mobilized 400 tanks of various types and two divisions of troops, intending to break through Lao Ba's defense line from upstream.

But air supremacy is now in Lao Ba's hands.

With the cooperation of aircraft, Lao Ba used only 230 tanks to block the attack of the Indians.

A total of 120 Indian tanks were destroyed.

If Lao Ba had not suffered heavy losses himself, he should have been able to achieve greater results by pursuing them.

Unfortunately, the Lao Ba people are short of troops and equipment.

After the great defeat on the Indian side, they did not dare to continue attacking the canal.

The situation suddenly calmed down.

But Chu Xiangqian overheard through Huang Diao'er that General Lalba Hadur and his staff were preparing to send a light-armed force of 3 men to penetrate through the mountains on the northern front and reach behind the canal.

With the supply lines between the front and rear of Lao Bali cut off, the Lao Bali army that was defending the canal had no choice but to retreat.

After Chu Xiangqian received the news, he waited until the evening when Margaret fell into a deep sleep due to excessive exercise.

He quietly left the manor and rode Red Hare for more than an hour.

He went to a warehouse at a farm in the suburbs and took out a long-range, high-power telegraph.

Turn on the power in the warehouse and send a message to the receiving station on the plateau.

After the Celestial Empire gave India a beating in 62, this receiving station was originally used to communicate with Chu Xiangqian.

Not only did it not evacuate, but it continued to expand and became a telegraph information transfer center on the other side of the plateau.

Among them is a group that is specifically responsible for receiving Chu Xiangqian’s signals.

After receiving the information from Chu Xiangqian, the superiors quickly convened a secret meeting.

The final conclusion is that if nothing unexpected happens, I plan to sit back and do nothing.

Nowadays, Lao Ba’s relationship with the Chinese Empire is actually not very good.

In their eyes, women talents are trustworthy friends.

Therefore, unless it is a special period of life and death, if you give the information to Lao Ba, people may not believe it.

Then they thought that the Celestial Empire was monitoring their northern territory.

They even thought that if both India and them were to suffer losses, the Celestial Empire would benefit from it. In this case, it would be better to let the Indians beat Lao Ba severely.

In just three days, Chu Xiangqian learned the news from the Tianzhu Headquarters through Huang Diao'er.

The 3000-man infiltration force lost its way while crossing the mountains.

But he was very lucky and found his way around the city behind Lao Ba.

Now there is no need to attack the supply routes.

A direct attack on this city would cause Lao Ba to panic.

Sure enough, when the news reached the canal, Lao Ba's morale plummeted.

This time, the Indians only launched two exploratory attacks, and the defense strength of the Lao Ba troops who were guarding the canal was obviously several levels weaker.

The Indians now had no more scruples and attacked with all their might, and their defense line quickly collapsed.

By the end of August, the Indian army had made great progress and conquered half of Lao Ba's land.

Realizing that he was on the verge of life and death, Lao Ba repeatedly requested mediation from the Meiguo people, but the response he got was that the Meiguo side had never given up putting pressure on Tianzhu.

Unfortunately, the effect is not great.

Just when Lao Ba still had a glimmer of hope, the Celestial Empire suddenly announced that it would send 3 additional troops to the plateau.

The Indians immediately panicked.

He quickly divided 2 troops and marched towards the northern plateau to confront the Celestial Empire.

New Delhi is constantly mobilizing more troops to advance towards the northern mountainous areas on the western front.

And in order to avoid being infiltrated and defeated by the Celestial Empire for the second time in 62.

The second attack even reached the outskirts of New Delhi.

Only then did the Indians station all the local armed forces of the three northern states along the road that must be passed.

They began to build a large number of bunkers and outposts, intending not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Chinese, but to occupy the terrain and supply advantages and hold their ground.

But the Celestial Empire will not attack at this time.

It seemed that India had really transferred a large number of troops, material resources, weapons and equipment to garrison on the northern plateau.

The Celestial Empire immediately announced that it would increase its troops by another 2 troops to deal with the threat from India.

The Indian senior officials were so angry that they cursed in their hearts.

It was necessary to withdraw troops again to reinforce the northern front.

Now Lao Ba can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After getting a precious respite, Lao Ba once again sought help from the women in the company.

At the same time, they began to send people to take the initiative to contact the Celestial Empire.

As expected, the response from Magnesium Women was "putting pressure on us".

The Celestial Empire, however, took practical action to tie down India's 70,000 to 80,000 troops.

No matter how stupid the senior executives of Lao Ba are, they have actually guessed that they may be abandoned by their superiors.

Feed the Indians' stomachs and then instigate them to fight against the Celestial Empire.

Otherwise, with the Celestial Empire to the north and Pakistan on their side, no matter how hostile the Indians were to the Celestial Empire.

Nor did they dare to launch another war against the Celestial Empire.

For China, since Lao Ba took the initiative to come to seek help.

Then we must take a positive and clear attitude to jointly fight against India.

After only one week of talks, large quantities of Chinese weapons and ammunition began to be shipped to Pakistan.

And Lao Ba has learned his lesson this time.

Relying on my advantage of familiarity with the terrain, if you attack my rear, I will follow suit and send out a small force.

Constant harassment stretched the Indian logistics supply lines.

After just one month, the Indians began to suffer the worst.

This guerrilla warfare that is spreading everywhere is obviously related to the Celestial Empire.
