Chapter 1173: Mud cannot be helped (Second update, please subscribe)

There is no time here.

In the confidential room of the Secret Intelligence Agency, there are neither windows nor clocks, only the sound of "clacking" typing. Intelligence analysts operate the Mingqi typewriters and type out intelligence briefings word by word.

When the intelligence analyst finished typing his report, dawn had just fallen in Chang'an, and it was about four in the morning. He stretched the tense muscles in his shoulders, lit up another Camel cigarette with a filter, and then read it again.

Every word and every punctuation mark must be strictly proofread. After all, this intelligence briefing is your "breakfast".

The day seemed to be calm and nothing major happened.

As we all know, your Excellency starts his daily work by reading intelligence briefings, so they must prepare everything carefully.

Finally, after reviewing it, the analyst signed and dated it at the end of the document: July 15, 1960.

Then he rang the bell and a messenger came, who immediately delivered the document to His Excellency's office in Daming Palace. According to the order, the messenger needed to hand the document to the intelligence officer beside His Excellency, who would check it and then hand it to His Excellency.

There are corresponding regulations for the delivery process of intelligence briefings. When the messenger leaves the confidential room with the code box, he will be accompanied by two armed guards with live ammunition and go directly to the Daming Palace in a special vehicle.

It was 4:12 in the morning when the black Bulletproof Warrior SUV drove out of the Secret Intelligence Service.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in the South Asian subcontinent, near the border between Hyderabad and Junagadh, more than a dozen divisions of Indian troops had assembled at midnight. In front of those T34 and T54 tanks, many Indian soldiers were standing and praying, praying for the next action.

Hyderabad and Junagadh were the largest of the independent princely states, and their inhabitants were mostly Hindus, while their kings were Muslims. More than a dozen years ago, they had tried to unify the country through armed invasion, but their actions failed due to the interference of the Black Knight mercenaries.

The Indian army even suffered a psychological trauma - only a few thousand mercenaries from the East defeated tens of thousands of Indian troops and even advanced all the way, forcing India to turn the war of aggression into a war of national defense, and even almost move the capital.

Faced with this situation, India has become peace-loving.

With India's unremitting efforts for eleven years, it not only successfully disintegrated the Federation of Independent Princely States, but also induced them to gradually abandon the "collective security force" - once, the independent princely states employed nearly 100,000 Black Knight mercenaries.

And now?

However, there are only more than 10,000 people. Since there is no threat from India, there is naturally no need to spend a lot of money to maintain such a mercenary army.

Their existence is not so much a deterrent as it is just for the sake of existence!
Just like the Black Knight mercenaries in Hyderabad, there are less than 800 of them left, and they are mainly concentrated in the Air Force and the Guards. In other words, now they only need to face the troops in Hyderabad.

"As soon as we cross the border, we will use the armored forces as the vanguard and attack Hyderabad directly!"

In the Indian Army's combat command, several generals from the Soviet Union are communicating with Indian generals. In the past few years, they have participated in India's training and formulation of combat plans.

To put it bluntly, it is India's version of the deep warfare in Western Europe. Although its scale is far less than that of the Soviet Union, it can be regarded as a small test.

At 2:30 in the morning, 18 divisions of the Indian Army, with five armored divisions as the vanguard, launched an attack on six princely states including Hyderabad, Junagadh and Kashmir.

The speed of their attack far exceeded the Soviet army's plan. Because they encountered no resistance along the way, most of the defenders were still asleep when the Indian army launched the attack. At the same time, the Il-28 bombers equipped by the Indian Air Force also took off and bombed several airports under the cover of night. Although the accuracy of night bombing was very poor, the sudden bombing still caught the princely air force off guard.

Two hours later, the news that the Indian army had crossed the border and attacked the princely state reached Southeast Asia and Chang'an.

Cheng Pengan, director of the Secret Intelligence Service, was jogging along the seaside when he received the news. Because his identity was unknown to the public, he was accompanied by only two special agents.

After receiving the information, he immediately said to the accompanying agent with a serious expression:

"Go to Daming Palace."

After saying that, he got into the car. After getting in, he changed his clothes in the car, wiped the sweat with a towel, and then changed into formal clothes.

When he arrived at the Daming Palace, no one could tell that he had just finished running.

When Cheng Pengan arrived at the Daming Palace, Li Yian was running. Compared with the old official residence, the Daming Palace was larger in scale, covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, and even had its own coastline. Li Yian's favorite thing was to run along the coast and enjoy the morning sea breeze and air.

Cheng Pengan took an electric car to the beach. After seeing him, Li Yian stopped, reached out to take the towel from the attendant, wiped his sweat and said:
"Peng'an, you're coming here at this time. There must be something important going on, right?"

Big thing, what big thing could it be?

Could it be in Shan State?
Probably not!
Although the establishment of a no-fly zone has aroused opposition from many countries, that opposition is only verbal. After all, everyone knows that Nanyang is very tough, and his toughness is different from that of others - he does what he says!
As for Myanmar, even if they had the guts of a bear or a leopard, they would not dare to attack the Nanyang planes.

"Yes, Your Excellency,"

Nodding, Cheng Pengan took out the report he had just received.

"Our intelligence officers stationed in Hyderabad, Junagadh and other princely states sent back information - the Indian army crossed the border in the early morning, and now their troops are approaching their capital, and the defenders along the way are almost collapsed."

Hearing this, Li Yian was stunned at first, then after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"I didn't expect that Nehru was so patient!"

The reason why Li Yian said this was very simple - he understood what India was thinking when it was advocating peace. But it was useless for him to understand, because the princes of the state who were used to living on protection did not understand, and even cooperated with Nehru to advocate peace.

In fact, although those princes wanted independence, they wanted to enjoy life more. Just like the prince of Hyderabad, he spent three months a year in London. Compared with governing the country in Hyderabad, he preferred to enjoy life in London.

For the princes and nobles who were used to living under the noses of others, they had no sense of crisis at all, and even took the initiative to let their horses go to the mountains.

"I thought they would take action a few years ago. After the Suez Crisis, whether it was the US and Soviet intervention in Egypt or our intervention in Hungary, they sent a wrong signal to the world - that the post-war world would never allow big countries to invade small countries or the strong to bully the weak. Those princes really thought that the post-war international order would protect them."

With the corners of his lips raised, Li Yian sneered.

"But they forgot one thing. The value of united front is something they strive for themselves. What kind of united front value do they have? Since the Korean War, they have been constantly reducing collective security forces to save money. After the canal crisis, they completely let themselves go and pinned their hopes for national security on the promises of the international community and India. If the words of the Indians can be trusted, sows can climb trees."

Sometimes people are so naive, so naive that one would wonder how they could be so stupid. So stupid that they would put their own safety over the promises of others, even Switzerland knows that guns are neutral.

But what about those princes?
They still think that India will be like Britain, completely ignoring the fact that Britain could accept the semi-independence of the princely states in order to maintain its colonial rule.

As for India, they need a unified South Asian subcontinent to realize their dream of becoming a powerful country.

It's a complete waste of time dealing with such a bunch of stupid people.

Li Yian said again with sarcasm.

"It must have been difficult for Nehru to endure for so many years!"

It doesn't matter whether Nehru had an easy life or not. What matters is that he was facing a group of useless guys. Not only did those princely states have numerous domestic problems of their own, they also did not have the slightest sense of crisis, because a so-called promise was there, and they just let it go.

It would be really unjust if such a country did not perish.

"Nehru had been deceiving them with the false appearance of peace. In the end, his patience not only deceived the princely states, but also us. We thought he might really be hoping for peace. We even thought their preparations for war were normal behavior caused by the conflict with the big country in the north last year, so..."

Cheng Pengan blamed himself.

"I was negligent."

Li Yian waved his hand and said:
"For ten years, I have been singing the praises of peace. It would be a lie to say that I am not fooled. This negligence... is also a reminder!"

"Sir, then should we...interfere?"

Facing Cheng Pengan's question, Li Yian just looked at the sea quietly, thinking, and finally shook his head and said.

"Our intervention can only protect them temporarily, but not forever. Those princes... are like mud that cannot be helped. Well, help them withdraw. As for the princely states..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yian gazed at the vast ocean and said:

“Pakistan will not tolerate them annexing those princely states.

Therefore, the next topic is the internal struggle between them. Nehru may be able to swallow those pieces of fat, but it takes time to digest them thoroughly... Oh, by the way, before withdrawing, send the guns to the local people, so that the Indians can experience the vast ocean of people's war. "

With such a vast ocean, let alone the Indians, even the Americans would be tortured to death. Those local states have nothing else but hundreds of thousands of guns in their warehouses. In another world, those princes and nobles have done nothing but escape. Now is a good opportunity to help them do it.

With India's current situation, fighting a security war for more than a decade would not necessarily be a bloodbath, as it would seriously damage its vitality, and might even cause serious damage to its bones and limbs, and might even lead to its home being robbed.

After all, there are tens of millions of Muslims, and they are armed. If with the support of Minibus, it is still unknown whether India can become a "powerful and influential country" in the future, but it will definitely become a "powerful country with fire and smoke".

As for Nanyang, we only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. We can provide those people with certain assistance at the appropriate time and continue to bleed India.

As for interference?

Spend a lot of money and even blood to help the princely states gain independence, and then let them continue to roam free?

Rather than doing this, it would be better to turn the princely states into powder kegs and plunge the entire South Asian subcontinent into war.

Although splitting India was a strategic decision for Nanyang in the beginning, when this strategic decision could not be maintained, it was necessary to adjust the deployment in a timely manner instead of hanging on a tree.

An India caught in war is unified. So what?

Continuous civil war and continuous warfare will drain the vitality of the entire country.

How can we talk about development in the midst of war?

In contrast, India is still able to develop now, but what about the war-torn country?
After a pause, Li Yian said in a sarcastic tone.

"When the time comes, they will know what it means to regret..."
