Chapter 40 Political Victims

It usually takes only a fifteen-minute drive from the Presidential Palace to the Prime Minister's Office, and it took half an hour to complete the convoy.

The faint pain was tormenting Santos's murder, and the noisy protesters tortured his spirit.

The Air Force's defeat once again not only made Santos' anger, but also made him encounter an unprecedented crisis of trust.

From President Paral, Santos learned that a high-powered MP initiated a case of distrust of the interim prime minister and received the support of dozens of MPs, meeting the statutory standards for voting. After completing the necessary statutory procedures, a vote will be held in the House of Commons in the near future.

Half an hour ago, Santos thought this was impossible.

The ruling coalition of Congress occupied a majority in the House of Commons. Before the war started, Santos solicited opinions from the leaders of each party in the alliance and leaders of important political forces, and received widespread support. As long as the ruling coalition remains united, no one can drive Santos out of the Prime Minister's Office.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Santos realized that Pallar summoned him not just to inform him.

The emotional protesters resounded over New Delhi were the votes in the hands of lawmakers.

A victorious war can unite the Indian people, greatly increase the support rate of the ruling party, and allow the ruling to become the national hero in the people's minds and enjoy absolute prestige. On the contrary, a failed war can also lead the ruling party and the ruling party to another extreme.

Not only do politicians do not have any noble "sentences", they are also a group of guys who cannot get up early. At the beginning, they could support Santos in order to start a war for their interests; now, they can also push Santos to the altar of politics for their interests.

Taking the painkiller, Santos's eyes fell on the protesters outside the car window.

Paral is only a nominal head of state. He does not participate in government work or party disputes. He does not have real power. She will not summon the interim prime minister at will. She will not disclose important news to the interim prime minister without destination.

After thinking about it, Santos realized that the situation must be much more serious than Pallar said.

Some people not only launched an impeachment case, but also lobbying among major parties to strive for wider support.

Who will it be?

Santos immediately ruled out the suspicion of the BJP.

If the interim prime minister is successfully impeached, the Congress ruling coalition will elect the new interim prime minister, instead of immediately disbanding the House of Commons and holding the general election in advance. In this case, the BJP is still an opposition party and cannot become the ruling party. In order to become the ruling party, the BJP should wait until India loses the war and launch an impeachment case, or ask for the early disbandment of the Idea. A step back. The BJP can even pin its hopes on the local election two years later.

The threat can only come from within the Congress ruling coalition.

In this way, BJP MPs are likely to vote against or abstain from the vote. Even if a minority of BJP MPs stand on the height of national and national interests and vote for support, most BJP MPs will still stand on the standpoint of party interests and oppose the removal of the interim prime minister.

To successfully remove the interim prime minister, the impeachment case must be supported by most members of the Congress ruling coalition.

What kind of people are able to win over most members of the Congress ruling coalition?

Thinking of this, Santos smiled strangely.

There will be no more than one person with this "energy".

It must be Rahul Gandhi, the son of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and former Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, the fourth generation "head of the Gandhi Nehru family!

Thinking that Rahul Gandhi was making trouble behind the scenes, Santos could even guess Rahul Gandhi's political intentions.

The Indian army's defeat on the battlefield not only seriously damaged the morale of Indian soldiers, but also seriously damaged the national self-esteem of the Indian people. The people will not accuse the soldiers who fought bloody and were stained with blood on the battlefield, but will only point their fingers at the government leaders. Seeing that India is difficult to turn around on the battlefield, Rahul Gandhi, who is already forty-two years old, must find a way out for himself and the Congress Party and get rid of the negative impact of the defeat.

Just as the wizards of ancient times would dedicate living people to angry gods when disaster came, when political disasters came, Rahul Gandhi would dedicate Santos Nehru to angry public opinion without hesitation.

You must never be slaughtered by others, nor can you become a sacrifice on the altar.

However, not only public opinion needs to be vented, but someone must also bear the responsibility.

Who can bear the responsibility for India's defeat?

Thinking of this, Santos's face turned gloomy.

Navy Commander Das or Air Force Commander Wandal?

After rubbing his temples, Santos felt a little clearer.

Is Darth suitable? The "Destroyer" nuclear submarine, the "Vicrant" and the "Vicramatia" aircraft carriers successively sank, and accidentally bombed the Chinese workers' camps, causing China to react excessively. However, letting Darth "take the blame" will inevitably turn the public anger to China. With the current situation, it may completely lead to the expansion of the scale of the war and even lead to China's direct participation in the war.

Santos sighed secretly. China did not participate in the war directly and fought like this. If China directly participated in the war, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What about Wandal? The Air Force lost more than half of its advanced fighter jets and nearly half of its outstanding pilots in five days, which led to the extreme adverse situation of the war to India, and he must be responsible for it. The Air Force mainly fights Pakistan, making Wandal a "scapegoat" and will not cause the war to burn to China.

However, it was not only the Air Force that suffered a crushing defeat.

If Wandal stepped down, Das must have an explanation, and it is best to resign.

"Contact Wandal and let him come to the Prime Minister's House after lunch." After a brief pause, Santos said to the secretary again, "Let Macri come to see me at 3:30 pm."

The secretary glanced at Santos quietly, and from the expression of the interim prime minister, someone must be in trouble.

At 1:30 p.m., Wandal left in a daze half an hour after coming to the Prime Minister's Office.

The general who commanded 130,000 soldiers and controlled thousands of aircraft did not return to the Air Force Command, but went straight back to his residence in New Delhi.

Wandal couldn't figure it out, and Santos would let him take the blame.

Before the war, in order to gain support, Santos treated the Air Force commander like a foreign head of state. When he needed to take responsibility for this, he pushed the Air Force commander to the "guillotine".

After entering the study, Wandal locked the secretary outside the door.

Looking at the medals and flags hanging on three walls and two cabinets, Wandal took out a bottle of liquor from the drawer on the bottom of the desk. After pouring a glass, he took out a gilded Makarov pistol from the top drawer. This was a gift from the general manager of Sukhoi when he went to Russia to sign a contract to purchase new fighter jets.

Pour the bullet onto the table, Wandal picked up the wine glass and took a few sips.

One, two, three...

When he loaded the bullet into the magazine, Wandal's hands trembled. After loading the magazine, he drank all the spirits in his cup in one sip.

Alcohol quickly worked, and although the hand holding the gun was a little shaking, pulling the trigger didn't seem to require as much force as imagined.

There were rapid footsteps outside the door.

Wandal pressed his chin with a muzzle. The moment the door was pushed open, he pulled the trigger.

Hearing the sudden sound of gunfire, the secretary walking in front was stunned.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked around his secretary and walked into the study. He smelled the smell of alcohol and smoke in the air, and saw the body lying in the pool of blood on the table. The middle-aged man frowned slightly.

"Why are you still staying? Go and call the guards and ambulances." The bodyguard rushed in, knocked away the secretary, and then said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Gandhi, we'd better leave here immediately."

After looking at the twitching body, the middle-aged man left the Air Force Commander's study with a blank expression.

At this time, in the Prime Minister's Office.

"Your Excellency, you want me to monitor..." Macri swallowed the following words back, "Is this...a little too much?"

"Markry, don't you understand what I mean?" Santos looked at the intelligence head and said, "The assassination of Prime Minister De Gandhi has caused us incalculable losses. The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and the enemy is likely to take beheading action against us. We have sacrificed a prime minister, and I don't want to sacrifice another future prime minister. Besides, protecting important officials is also the responsibility of the Joint Bureau of Investigation. What I want you to do is to strengthen the security and protection of parliamentarians and record the whereabouts of parliamentarians so that investigations can be carried out in special times."

Macri knew very well that Santos’s purpose was definitely not to protect Rahul Gandhi.

The two seemed to be competing, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little nervous.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Macri said: "I can strengthen security and security as you are instructed and record the whereabouts of the MPs, but I need your written authorization."

Now, Santos hesitated.

If it is just verbal authorization without evidence, no matter how much the matter is, he can shift the blame to the Director of the Joint Investigation Bureau. If an order is issued through written authorization, it is equivalent to handing over the real evidence to Macri. After the matter is in big way, it is very likely to become the "Watergate Incident" in India.

"I can give you written authorization, but I want you to promise," Santos had no other choice. The intelligence leader was not a good master. "It must be carried out in secret and cannot be known to others."

"I arrange the most reliable subordinates to try to control the scale."

Santos nodded slightly. "Also, when I need it, you must report the whereabouts of the MP to me at any time."

Macri still agreed, these were all minor issues. With the written authorization of the interim prime minister, he could regard monitoring and tracking Rahul Gandhi's actions as a special task, and ultimately he would not be responsible for the person who executed the order, but the person who issued the order.

After obtaining Santos' written authorization, Macri left the Prime Minister's Office.

Macri did not want to know why Santos "cared about" Rahul Gandhi. Both of them were core members of the Gandhi-Nehru family. No one from India dared to offend this prosperous family that led India to gain independence and led India to become a prosperous one. However, when he learned that Air Force Commander Wandal had swallowed a gun and committed suicide after returning from the Prime Minister's Office, Macri immediately noticed the inner connection between these two things, and even felt a fierce undercurrent. The initiator behind the scenes was either Santos Nehru or Rahul Gandhi.

External concerns have not yet subsided, and internal troubles have arisen again. Can India overcome the current difficulties?
