Chapter forty-ninth resurgent situation
At 2 p.m. Beijing time, nearly one billion people around the world were attracted to the front of the TV.
About an hour and a half ago, at 9:30 New Delhi time, demonstrators broke through the cordon set by the police and threw bricks, stones and mooring bottles at the Chinese Embassy in India, causing all the windows on the street of the embassy to be destroyed and more than a dozen staff members were injured. The rioters also rushed into Chinatown, smashing Chinese shops and attacking Chinese overseas. The same atrocities took place in major cities such as Mumbai and Kolkata.
The situation deteriorates rapidly, and the whole world is waiting for the "Chinese voice".
An hour ago, major TV stations around the world adjusted their program arrangements and focused on China's reactions. Some TV stations with deep background even invited senior commentators to analyze the current situation and speculate on the measures China might take. All commentators emphasized one thing, that is, ten days ago, India bombed the workers' dormitory of Guadal Port, causing nearly 100 Chinese employees to be killed and injured, and China immediately dispatched a special mixed fleet to expedition to the Indian Ocean.
The implication is that China is likely to take military action.
Half an hour ago, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a news that a press conference will be held at 2:30 pm.
The reporters immediately smelled the strong smell of gunpowder and gathered at the press release center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to seize the most favorable position and prepare for the live broadcast.
News comments from major TV stations also reached ** at this time.
Although most commentators believe that China will only accuse the atrocities against Chinese in India at most, because the victims are not Chinese but Indians in legal terms. However, all commentators believe that China will launch a military strike against India on the grounds that the embassy and consulate were attacked by thugs, because China has the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the embassy and consulate in India, and has the power to defend by force.
Under this circumstance, it is reasonable even if China declares war on India.
The focus has changed from "how will China react" to "whether China declare war on India."
Almost all Western TV stations believe that China is about to declare war on India, and use this to hype "**". Some TV stations have also compared the military forces of China and India to analyze that China may take local military actions after declaring war on India, and even maliciously speculates about China's final destination.
Under the intentional induction of Western media, the audience ignored the nature of the incident. Instead, they believed that China deliberately fabricated the reason for invading India in order to achieve an ulterior motive. However, they were suffering from hundreds of thousands of Indian Chinese, and more than 100 million Muslims living in India.
At 2:25, Republic Foreign Minister Huang Guowei entered the press release center.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where the press conference was chaired, the first thing he announced was the rule: this was just a press conference. It was not a press conference. The Foreign Minister would not accept any questions.
At 2:30, Huang Guowei walked onto the front desk.
The venue suddenly became quiet. The reporter held his breath and focused his mind. Hundreds of cameras were aimed at the Foreign Minister of the Republic. Through live broadcast, Huang Guowei appeared on the screens of thousands of TVs in the home. According to incomplete statistics, the number of viewers sitting in front of the TV exceeded the scale of the London Olympics at the opening of the London Olympics. It reached 2.5 billion.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Huang Guowei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State Council of the Republic."
The Foreign Minister's opening remarks were very short, which reminded many reporters of the press conference ten days ago.
"In the past few hours, too many things that shouldn't have happened. At this moment, the tragic atrocities are still going on." Huang Guowei changed his past kind face and took out a few photos. "When I saw these photos, I remembered the incident that was hyped by major Western media a few years ago. At that time, the news media in Western countries collectively acted as the mouthpiece of extremist forces that split China and vilified China, and even terrorist organizations. They all spent all their time, long and distorted reports, and even fake news maliciously fabricated. Today, in the face of iron-clad facts, the news media in Western countries not only became silent collectively, but also fabricated '**' with ulterior motives, and even maliciously slandered China regardless of the truth. From this, I see not only clearly the real faces of the Western world that boasts "humanity" and "legal system", but also saw the sinking of the entire Western world in the face of human ethics and morality!"
The spotlight no longer flashes, the shutter sound no longer echoes, and only heavy breathing and pounding heartbeats remain in the venue.
"Some Western countries have always regarded themselves as 'human rights defenders', but in fact, they cover up the true face of pursuing interests under the guise of 'protecting human rights'. In order to achieve their ulterior motives, they do not hesitate to overthrow the legal governments of other countries with extremely barbaric means, turn pastorals into battlefields, and towns into cemeteries. Just today, those countries that keep shouting to defend human rights have been collectively silent, collectively blind, and collectively deaf!" When the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs distributed photos to reporters, they were ashamed of photos.
Huang Guowei shook the photo on his hand vigorously. "In the face of ironclad evidence, why are those countries that advocate the rule of law and promote human rights collectively silent and turn a blind eye to it? Because they wear tinted glasses. When thousands of lives are damaged, when thousands of Muslims and Chinese are slaughtered, we cannot, nor do we expect those hypocrites who are obsessed with interests, nor can we expect those masters who are creating conflicts, provoking conflicts, and promoting war!"
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense, and the smell of gunpowder was too obvious.
"On behalf of the Republic, I declare that those who create warriors will be severely punished and condoned the same crimes as the thugs. India will bear all responsibilities and consequences for the atrocities that have occurred, are happening and are about to occur. The Republic will take all necessary means and measures to protect the lives and property of overseas Chinese and punish the murderers who create tragedy!"
Before the reporter could react, Huang Guowei walked off the front desk and left the press release center.
After a brief calm, the press release center suddenly became boiling.
The whole world was also in full swing at this time. Although the Republic did not declare war on India, the statement issued by the Republic's foreign minister was infinitely close to the declaration of war.
The Republic will certainly launch a military strike against India and will take action immediately.
On the other end of the earth, when n News Channel turned the scene into the studio, Japeer turned off the TV.
Secretary of State Lynch and National Security Assistant Eric came to his senses after a brief shock and looked at the president at the same time.
Japeer did not rush to speak, the situation was much worse than he thought.
Ten days ago, China announced that it had informed the United States before sending a fleet to the Indian Ocean. This time, it was exceptional. Not only did there be no formal diplomatic notes, Ji Youguo also did not speak to Jia Peier on the hotline.
Lynch's lips squirmed a few times, and finally swallowed the words to his mouth.
"It's obvious that China will not give up." Japeer broke his silence and asked Eric, "How fast can China launch a military operation?"
"It depends on how China intervenes in the war and how much it is involved." Eric rubbed his eyebrows a few times. "If it is just a punitive combat operation, China will target the Indian Navy and invest in the special mixed fleet and dozens of combat aircraft. With the current situation, it will only take twenty-four hours to prepare and take action within forty-eight hours. If China is preparing to intervene on a large scale, with the ultimate goal of regaining southern Tibet, it will require tens of thousands of ground troops and hundreds of combat aircraft. Even if China is prepared before the outbreak of the India-Pakistan War, it will take at least one week to complete the offensive preparations."
"China will not fight ground wars with India." Lynch interrupted.
Eric nodded slightly and said, "We can basically conclude that China will mainly attack the Indian Navy and avoid ground wars with India."
Japeer did not object, and he also agreed with the judgment of the two aides.
"If we take action, we can annihilate the Chinese special mixed fleet within three hours."
"No, we cannot have direct conflict with China." Japeer immediately rejected the security consultant's proposal.
"Do you want to warn Santos?" Lynch touched the president's intentions and made a very tactful opinion.
Japeer shook his head and said, "China has shown its trump card. Not only should it punish India through military means, but it is also warning us. Our intervention at this time is likely to force China to attack India in the form of ground war. At that time, the situation will be completely out of control."
Both aides were secretly shocked and heard another meaning of the president's words.
Japeer touched his forehead, "We must also express our opinion immediately. Lynch, you can draft a proposal as soon as possible to impose severe sanctions on both sides of the warring parties through the United Nations. In addition, withdraw the Ministry's "Truman" aircraft carrier battle group to Digo Garcia. We are not Santos' nanny, and it is impossible to confront China for him."
Santos also watched the live news and immediately summoned his main staff to discuss countermeasures.
China's tough attitude made the Indian interim Prime Minister who had just eradicated his political opponents and was still complacent. The Chief of Army Staff Duguer, who came to the Prime Minister's Office, the Air Force Chief of Staff Gegeni, and the Navy Chief of Staff Leval, and the Interim Prime Minister, all believed that the Indian army was not sure of winning when talking about the issue of fighting against China.
Santos first denied the idea of fighting a ground war with China.
The basis of ground war is air supremacy. The Indian Air Force cannot even deal with the Pakistani Air Force. How can it be the opponent of the Chinese Air Force? In addition, ground wars can easily turn into large-scale wars or even full-scale wars. Even if India has nuclear weapons, China will not rashly capture Indian territory, but China has more nuclear weapons in its hands, and India does not even dare to attack China's local military targets.
You can only fight against China at sea!
As a politician, Santos knew very well that the necessary condition for maintaining the regime was not to compete with China, but a reason to allow India to withdraw from the war with decent amount.
Defeat China's special mixed fleet and regain the control of the Indian Ocean is a sufficient reason.
At that time, it can be announced that it will defeat the Chinese Navy in a high-profile manner, satisfy the resentful people, calm the national sentiment in the country, and thus cease the war with Pakistan.
Of course, the threat from the Chinese Army cannot be ignored.
More troops must be invested in the eastern region to defend Assam and declared that China's attempt to aggression would be crushed, thereby increasing the prestige of the interim government and the interim prime minister.
Perfect plan, perfect ending!
