Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 769 Talk about conditions

"What's the matter, Prime Minister, you are not happy that he is finished?" Muyar was startled, and he finally felt that he might have said something wrong.

"Singh is like my son," Kahan said leisurely, putting his hand on Muyar's shoulder. "Even if he betrayed me and our common cause, I still don't want to see him end like this. Human savages, killed like animals, hey, have you found the body?"

"The local army is searching the forest. For the time being, only about 100 guerrilla bodies and bodies of members of the Foreign Legion were found. Singer was not found, but intelligence from the Americans confirmed that he was killed."

"You should inform the Minister of Information that this matter should not be published in the newspapers, neither deny nor admit it."

"Prime Minister……"

"By the way, is there any bad news from General Meneam?"

"How should I put it, there is no definite news anyway."

"Well, no news is considered good news." The Prime Minister shook his head in frustration, as if he didn't dare to delve into any issues related to loyalty. Maybe he planned to deceive himself like this.

"But Prime Minister, since Singh...is no longer able to exercise his powers, I think that the command of the Airborne Brigade and the Central Police Force directly under the Ministry of National Defense...should be assigned to the Garrison Command sequence..."

"Okay, who else can I trust but you?"

Muyar wanted to make a new request, but the haggard Prime Minister had already walked away with his hands behind his back, and the doctor standing aside quietly opened a door, and the Prime Minister walked into the shadows and disappeared.

Muyar stood there for a long time in frustration, and he still had some conditions before he could open it in time.

A few hours ago, he had just been played by Singh once, and when he arrived at the prime minister's residence, he was scolded by Kahan again. In a rage, Kahan called the self-defense forces stationed in Mathura and demanded that Singh be killed. The order he did hear.So he rushed to report Singh's death, hoping that the Prime Minister would be happy about it, but he did not expect such an ending.But on the bright side, he finally got several direct troops that Singer has been holding in his hands, including the airborne brigade with strong combat effectiveness.

The major general sighed and walked out of the prime minister's office boringly.He thought, next time who dares to betray the Prime Minister, it will not be so easy to play around with himself. He came here from Karachi 20 days ago with his men and horses, just to achieve a great cause. To a certain extent, Singh's downfall is not bad for him, and the garrison commander can no longer be restrained by the Ministry of Defense.In the current defense system that divides the inner and outer urban areas of New Delhi, he has acquired a status equal to that of Marshal Pasad, and even more important, because government agencies are all within his defense zone.

"Looks like I need to make a phone call with Pasade and talk about a new command relationship. My command is already at the same level as him."

Muyar sneered and said to himself, he never thought of failure, the Chinese-Pakistan coalition forces have less than 20 people, how could it be possible to capture New Delhi with 90 soldiers?The major general firmly believed that the enemy was able to reach the city only because he encountered too many wastes. People like Spanga and Chaguye were either incompetent in combat or plotting wrongdoing; Compared with the United Army, this army has never been defeated not only in Indian history, but in fact in the entire colonial history (there was a limited retreat in the border war in 1962), but he did not carefully consider another fact, that is The fine-looking Regiment of the Guards has never fought a tough battle, and the traditional program of the unit is to participate in the festive parade.

In the underground headquarters south of New Delhi, Pasad finally made up his mind to let the spy in his hand use the radio he brought to communicate with their headquarters.He and Charmain fully discussed this matter, and Charmain believed that it was safer than using Indian radio stations. Judging from the Americans' intelligence on the behavior of some Indian generals supporting the enemy, the Americans may be monitoring the Indian military radio stations and may have deciphered them. Encryption; it can also be speculated that the Chinese should have been monitoring Indian radio stations, but now he has no time to care about these.

The radio station Ghiyam buried in the woods outside the city has been retrieved. This radio station uses a special frequency conversion modulation method. Charmain determined that it is difficult to completely intercept the communication content with the existing technology of the Indian Intelligence Agency, and it is even more difficult to crack the code. Difficult, of course, given that the intelligence agency building has been blown up, and the equipment and antennas installed by the CIA on the roof have also been destroyed, there is almost no worries, but the marshal is still deliberating about the specific conditions to be put forward.

"I think we must make the following points clear to the Chinese," said the marshal, pacing back and forth in the dimly lit basement, talking about his plan. There was only one audience in the dark room, and that was Chief Charmain. We demand the integrity and independence of India without any foreign puppet, and this is the same for the United States; as a recognition of the fact of defeat, we can make limited concessions in the territory, and Jamie Lun, we can important positions in the government, but does not allow any dominion claims."

"Your government?" asked Charmain, who sat in the shadows.

"Yes, India is facing the worst moment. The military must bravely stand up and take over the situation. India has come to today because of populism using the cloak of democracy to make it bigger. So whether it is called a caretaker government or a military interim government That’s right, power is not allowed to be dispersed, which will lead to the disintegration of the state apparatus. I think we can use the wrestling between the United States and China to keep India as complete as possible, and then hold elections in 3 or 5 years. China and the United States jointly guarantee a ceasefire, At the same time, he promised not to fund the BJP armed forces and left-wing guerrillas.”

"Do you think the Chinese will accept it?" Charmain said indifferently.

"We still have hundreds of thousands of troops. There is no reason for them not to consider this factor. We should take into account that they also have great difficulties. The transportation line across the Himalayas is not easy to maintain."

"We can try it, but I'm not very optimistic."

"Well, we can see their reaction. Then there is the issue of the new border demarcation. We can only try to maintain a sufficient buffer zone west of New Delhi, but the essence of India is in Mumbai, and in Bangalore, we will recover."

"If there were to be negotiations, who would you send?"

"This is exactly what I am worried about. If the people sent are high-ranking, the Chinese may deliberately leak the content of our negotiations, thus putting us in a politically desperate situation."

"Don't worry about this. I have some candidates. Without official status, it's hard to get caught."

"One more thing is that it is best to let Meneam's troops go down the mountain. We have made the greatest territorial concessions in Kashmir, but we must keep this army. In the next few years, we need this precious force to stabilize the national territory. Prevent the spread of guerrillas in the territory."

"From the opponent's point of view, I don't think they will agree to your terms, but..."

Charmain was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was a close associate of Pasade's staff.

"Commander, Major Muyar of the Garrison Headquarters will call and say that there is an emergency, and he wants to discuss the new defense plan in detail, and I want you to listen to it personally..."

"What is he? He dares to talk to me about the defense plan. You tell him that I went to inspect the troops and let him come to see me himself."

"No, no," Charmain hurriedly stopped, "I'd better listen to what he said, the central police force has been put under his command, and he has his own intelligence system, so he has to be guarded against him. I know this person very well. It’s easy to be fooled, just don’t make him suspicious.”

"Okay, do as you say." The marshal took off his military cap, scratched his head and said.

Next to an airport 45 kilometers east of New Delhi, the Pakistani army is conducting a simple religious ceremony. Several dead were washed, wrapped in white cloth, and carried into a helicopter by officers.Helicopters will fly to Chandigarh, and then return the victims to their hometowns in the Middle East for burial.

Younis demanded that all officers be present, so Yahini and Amir all participated in the simple ceremony, but they pretended not to see each other and stood very far away from each other.

After the funeral, Younis called all the battalion and above officers to the temporary headquarters next to the airport, and the two sat on the left and right sides again, which was very obvious.

"The death of Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Fahad is a huge loss. Although people die every moment on the battlefield, I must say that I have a command responsibility."

Younis said sadly that he took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, which seemed to be of a high level.All the officers present bowed their heads, and Amir even started to cry again. He had a friendship with Lieutenant Colonel Fahd. They fought together in North Yemen a few years ago. At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Fahd once said that if One day the Pakistanis were in trouble, and he would be obliged to come; in the end he kept his promise, and in a clumsy aim, he was hit by a pre-emptive 105mm shell and pierced the turret.

Yahini just mourned hypocritically for a while, he couldn't squeeze out tears for a stranger, even if he was of noble birth; if Younis was unfortunately killed in a bomb one day, maybe he could still howl a few times, but the deputy division commander would My son is still alive, and has not been to the front line for a few days, and it is estimated that he will live until after the war.

Yahini secretly raised his head and glanced at the deputy commander of Cyclops, and found that Younis had already gained weight in the war, and it might be a bit difficult for him to drill into the tank.

"Okay, I know that some of you are very sad, but we who are still alive must continue to fight. Our division has received a strong supplement, personnel and equipment are still on the way, but we can first allocate tasks and equipment .”

Amir immediately raised his head, and the tears in his eyes immediately disappeared.

"The current preliminary plan is that our division will no longer make any moves, and launch an assault from the existing starting position, attacking New Delhi from east to west, if the Indians do not surrender." The deputy division commander said, turning to the map behind him, "You all know that the government offices of India are all in the east of the city, which will be very beneficial to us."

"That's right, let's advance from the east, and we will use the crawlers to crush the city into ruins." Someone shouted immediately.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. Our competitors mainly include the following friendly units - the 9th Division from Fort ***, the replenished 6th Armored Division, and..."

"Won't the Chinese army participate?"

"They may not participate in the attack on the main urban area. Their goal is India's effective forces, and they hope to wipe out most of the enemies outside the city. This is what I learned at the combat meeting yesterday."

"The Chinese are afraid of casualties, so they leave the battle to us?"

"Anyway, we can't ask for it."

"That's right, our division must be tasked with capturing Kahan alive. I don't know how many cannons and tanks we can replenish."

Everyone talked to each other and expressed various optimistic views, but Yahini and Amir did not participate in these nonsense. They waited for the next topic, which was how to allocate equipment.

"As the main attacking force, our division has already received a large number of equipment as a priority, and there are still some personnel to replenish..." the deputy division commander said, scanning the left and right, "Lieutenant Colonel Fahd left his last request before he died, requesting that the No. The second batch of aid equipment will be handed over to the Amir group, he hopes that Amir can use these weapons to avenge him, and Prince Fahd also hopes to fulfill his brother's last wish," Younis said, looking at it with regret Yahini.

Yahini thought to himself, could this guy be burned out?How can you get revenge by handing over the tank to a stupid guy like Amir?
"The division decided to add the newly arrived tank battalion to Amir's 2nd cluster. In addition, for the convenience of replenishment, the division decided to use the Khalid and Type 3 tanks of the 96rd tank battalion with different ammunition calibers. Assigned to 2st Battalion from [-]nd Cluster sequence."

Amir suddenly fell from the clouds. He thinks that the size of his army can be expanded to three times that of Yahini. Unexpectedly, Younis played a trick and deprived a battalion that belonged to him. It became a fifty-fifty account.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Rajani, the battalion commander from the 3rd Tank Battalion, let out a long breath. He had had enough under Amir. Amir looked down on his troops and equipment, and only used this battalion as a supplementary name , Let him perform the stupid task of blocking the advance route of friendly troops, or serving as a position fort.He knew that following Yahini would definitely yield good results.

"Everyone, the division has decided to promote Lieutenant Colonel Amir as the commander of the [-]st Assault Brigade, and Captain Yahini as the acting commander of the [-]nd Assault Brigade."

The scene was once again stunned. As the only person here who has not received a military academy education, Yahini actually took on the heavy responsibility. This is really enviable. Ascension seems a little more convincing.

"Please note that this is only a temporary troop formation and personnel appointment, and there will be no corresponding military rank promotion. The first and second brigades each govern two tank battalions and supporting troops. As the vanguard of the attack, we have only one goal, It's the Prime Minister's Office."

Yahini suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew that his opportunity was coming. He was hardly in the mood to listen to the attack plan. Instead, he thought about how to use the truce time. Expand yourself out of staff.

After the meeting, he immediately sent someone to contact Rahman, asking him to go back to the village he passed yesterday, and take care of the several M88 tank repair vehicles abandoned by the Indians, so that no one could snatch them away; then he caught up with Younis, He told the deputy commander of the need to expand the front line of troops, and Younis immediately allocated the repair company to him. He seemed to feel that he owed Yahini, and he also lent Yahini the helicopter of the division headquarters to investigate the old battlefield.

Yahini knew that just 40 kilometers away, on the battlefield where the 1st Division fought Spanga, all the destroyed tanks were still there.Khalid and the excellent commonality of parts between several Chinese-made tanks in his hands made it possible for him to collect a lot of parts in addition to the possibility of piecing together tanks.
