"Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom! Boom! Boom..." Subhas Chandra Bose, wearing shackles, heard the rumble of gunfire outside through the narrow prison window.

The sound of this artillery fire filled him with sadness. He knew that the army must have reached the vicinity of New Delhi. And the only ones who could mobilize troops to attack New Delhi at this time were the Tiger and his National Defense Forces.

"Bang!" With a sound, the cell door was opened. He saw a decadent figure staggering into it. Under the dim sunlight, Bos could still clearly see who it was.

"Nehru, are you satisfied now?! This is probably what you want, right?! By betraying me and abandoning me, have you made your master forgive you?!"

Subhas Chandra Bose couldn't help but became furious when he saw the person coming. Yes, the person coming was Nehru. He was smelling of alcohol and staggering.

"Hahaha... The British didn't see us at all. We couldn't even enter their offices..." Nehru grabbed the bottle and took a swig of his drink.

"They didn't even bother to scold us. As soon as they saw our skin color, they told us to get out. They didn't want to say anything more..." Nehru staggered and lay on the table outside the prison bars, stunned.

looked at Bos and said softly.

"Boss, do you think our persistence is meaningful...or what can we gain from this persistence?!"

Subhas Chandra Bose was silent. He could not answer this question at all. It was he who proposed the violent revolution that united Japan in the first place.

Bose once tried to find the Soviet Union for help, but the Soviet Union rejected him. Then he found Germany. Although Hitler expressed support for his struggle with the British, he remained ambiguous about recognizing India's independence.

In desperation, Bos finally found the Japanese. The Japanese did give Bos support. But Bos also remained wary of the Japanese's thoughts.

He knew very well that it was the habit of these Japanese people to go back on their word. It was not impossible for the Japanese to support him and then swallow up India.

So Bose went back to find Gandhi, Nehru and others, and tried to join forces with them to create a local force to prevent Japan from annexing India.

However, it was the National Defense Forces' offensive in Southeast Asia that helped him. The Japanese had no time to implement their plan to annex India, so they were forced to deploy their troops to the battlefield in Southeast Asia.

After this, there was no way back for Japan. For this reason, Bose breathed a long sigh of relief. From his point of view, the Tigers who were the best in the National Defense Force were both defeated by Japan and had no time to worry about India.

Of course, he never thought that even if these two parties were panting to deal with India, it would be nothing more than idleness.

"Our path is not wrong. But our allies have chosen the wrong one..." Bose said to Nehru with a wry smile: "These days, we have thought a lot in this cell..."

"I thought of China and North Korea. I thought of us at the same time. I was thinking, if we had gone to China for help from the beginning, would the situation be completely different?!"

"If we become allies with China, then we will naturally join the Allies. At the same time, we can even gain our own benefits from this war."

"For example, India's independence, such as part of Southeast Asia's land. Such as international prestige, such as a complete industrial production chain." Bose said, sighing deeply: "Unfortunately, we have not made the right decision.

The choice. We have always made the wrong choice..."

"And from this, I thought of North Korea's Jin Jiu. Under a special situation, he resolutely chose to follow the tiger. As a result, he got what he wanted."

"I have also learned about some situations in North Korea. Although to a certain extent they are not completely independent. But they do have greater autonomy and legally have their own army."

"These are all things we dream of. But it's a pity..."

Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the two faced each other without saying anything. After listening to Bose's words, Nehru was also considering a question. If he bowed to the tiger, would the situation be better...

If it had been in the past, maybe it would have been possible. But now that the war had begun, Nehru knew that his last hope had been shattered.

Once a war starts, the possibility of negotiation becomes extremely low. Unless one party is directly defeated, then the war will be over.

At this time, if India goes to China, there will only be one answer: unconditional surrender. In addition, they will not give other answers.

A very simple fact, I have already attacked your capital. So is your negotiation still meaningful? Surrendering is just to ensure that some people will not die.

"Nehru! Perhaps you already knew what was going to happen today?! Don't deny it. From the moment you sent your wife and children to Switzerland, you knew that today would be like this!"

A voice suddenly came, and Bose and Nehru looked up. They saw that the man was an extremely angry Gandhi. Gandhi stepped into the prison wearing his iconic robe and staring eyes.

"My choice, my mistake. I am responsible for it myself. There is no need to drag them all down..." Nehru smiled bitterly and drank a sip of wine for himself.

Gandhi suddenly walked up to him, snatched the wine from her hand and shouted angrily: "You actually drink alcohol?! Have you forgotten the teachings?! Alcohol and meat are absolutely forbidden!"

Nehru smiled miserably and lay on the table, saying feebly: "Now these have no meaning, or alcohol can make me feel more comfortable. Being drunk is more comfortable than being sober..."

Gandhi was shaking all over and suddenly smashed the bottle on the ground. With a "ping bang", the bottle broke into a ball on the ground. Nehru and Bose were both stunned by Gandhi's move.

Gandhi never got angry easily. Nehru, who was very close to him, had never seen him so angry. So angry that the man known as the "Mahatma" grabbed the bottle of wine in his hand.

smash.

"Now, the country is in danger! People are suffering from the war, and the people who brought them all this are drunk on themselves! Do you think you are worthy of them?!" Gandhi yelled at Nehru angrily: "You

It is true that they stayed, but what should those people who lost their children because of the war do?"

"They have no capital or resources to send their families out. So if you cause their families to be broken up and their families separated, how should they be treated?!"

Nehru was silent. He simply lay on the table without saying a word. But Bose in the cell was filled with anger, his whole body was trembling but he didn't know what to do.

Is there any point in blaming Nehru now? This is useless now. Defense Force troops are approaching New Delhi. Is there any point in blaming him now?!

As Gandhi said, what they have to do now is to find ways to save more people and reduce the damage caused by the National Defense Forces to India. This is what they need to do now.

Gandhi did not continue to speak, but quietly opened the prison door. The jailer did not dare to refuse to hand over the key to the cell to the Mahatma. As long as he made a request, few people in India would dare to refuse face to face.

"We are the only ones who can make decisions for this country now. I hope we can go to the Chinese military camp together to ask for an end to the war..." Gandhi looked at Bose and Nehru and said: "Strive to let more people live."

Come down, this may be the only thing we can do for this country..."

After saying this, he walked out of the cell first. Then Bose did not hesitate, walked out of the cell door and left with Gandhi. Nehru was silent for a long time before slowly leaving the cell...

"Damn! I'm so vulnerable..." Li Zongren couldn't help complaining as he looked at the map. Less than half a month after the war started, he had rushed directly from Myanmar to the vicinity of New Delhi, which was less than 50 kilometers away.

The Indian National Army only put up a symbolic resistance. Then they were able to disperse with a burst of artillery fire. Li Zongren was stunned when he first heard the news.

Even though he expected that the Indian resistance would be very weak, Li Zongren never expected that it would be so weak. It was basically just a cannon shot, and there were only a few people on the position when they rushed forward.

All the people had fled, and even guns, ammunition, and artillery were scattered all over the place. The only regret was that not many prisoners were captured.

"Commander! Why do I feel that they are no match for this battle?! Look at what they are fighting. Is this called a war?! I feel like it is impossible to win..."

Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Jiade said with a helpless smile: "The battle is over before the addiction is over..."

Li Zongren agrees with this sentence. This is probably the war with the smallest losses since the formation of the National Defense Force. Even now, the number of casualties is still less than 300 soldiers.

However, it is difficult to estimate the results of the war. The trenches and tunnels built by the Indian National Army can only be said to be sloppy. As a result, the National Defense Forces fired heavy artillery, and not many of these tunnels and fortifications were left.

Many corpses were either blown up or rotted into pieces. Therefore, most of the results can only be counted as abandoned guns and relatively intact corpses.

As for the ones that are all rotted into mud, there is no way to count them.

"Let's finish the fight as soon as possible. After the fight, we will be liberated." Li Zongren sighed: "This time I have to persuade the General Staff to give us a quota. After this battle is over, we can be transferred out of here..."

Zhang Jiade couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and said strangely: "Commander, where are we going?! The Soviet Union?! Or are we leading the troops to launch an attack from India?!"

"Why are you asking so many questions?! It's in your favor, but you're afraid of suffering from following me?!" Li Zongren laughed and scolded: "Hurry up and deal with all these Ah Sans, it's annoying to watch..."

At this time, all the big guys in the imperial capital were dumbfounded by the situation reported by Li Zongren. The casualties were less than 300, but they were already about to hit the capital.

What kind of army is this?! Although the coalition government initially thought that India would not be too strong, it never expected that it would be so weak. There were only less than 300 casualties!

"Do you think De Lin will be so angry that he vomits blood now? He's not even satisfied with fighting like this! The powerful generals under his command are probably cursing at their mothers right now..."

Lin Sen looked over and over at the telegram sent back by Li Zongren, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lin Sen didn't know much about the country of India. At most, he knew about Tagore and Gandhi.

And Yan Zhengqing has never understood India. A country that has been colonized for hundreds of years, Yan Zhengqing does not think it is worth understanding.

As a result, understanding of India has become a blind spot for the top leaders of the National Defense Forces and the coalition government. Although this country borders itself, the coalition government has always cooperated and paid attention to European and American countries and warring Japan.

Southeast Asia has entered the coalition government's sights because of its rich resources. However, neither the coalition government nor the defense forces in India are interested in it.

"I'm already scolding my mother, and Mr. De Lin called me. He said that we had tricked him this time and let him run around. He also had to ask me to compensate him..." Su Zongzhe smiled bitterly, Li Zongren said in the private message to him

Swearing loudly.

It was almost said that Su Zongzhe deliberately played a trick on him. Su Zongzhe was helpless about this. The General Staff had to admit that they did not pay enough attention to India.

And because India once defeated the British army stationed in India together with Japan, and they received a large amount of weapons and equipment left by the British in India, the General Staff decided that the Indian army should have certain combat capabilities based on this matter.

However, the General Staff cannot define the extent of its combat capabilities. After all, the Indian National Army only has a few opportunities to take action. Without independent actual combat support, military strength is difficult to define.

"That's good. After all, this war is over and he can go to Europe to help." Tu Mengben almost burst out laughing. No one here knows the virtues of Indians better than him.

In later generations, this second-rate country kept provoking the nascent Republic. Then, they were unlucky. The Republic directly dealt India an extremely miserable state with more than a thousand casualties.

You must know that this was achieved when India received support from the Soviet Union and the United States, which were hostile to the Republic. At that time, the world was bipolar, and the Soviet Union and the United States simultaneously provided India with a large amount of weapons, equipment, and supplies.

But it is a pity that even with such support, India was beaten out of the pig brain. While the Republic paid more than a thousand casualties, India paid more than 4,000 casualties and 1,600 casualties.

The remaining people were missing and nearly 4,000 people were taken prisoner.

In this battle, India was completely defeated. Even with advanced weapons in hand, it was hit with a brick and its head was bruised and bloody. Therefore, it never had any hope for such a strange country to massacre Meng Ben.

Back then, their weapons were even two or three levels higher than those of the Republic, but they were still defeated miserably. So, now that the weapons and equipment of the National Defense Force are one level higher than theirs, the outcome of the war can be imagined.

"Then tell Uncle De Lin that when he comes back, I will give him a banquet in person as an apology." Tu Mengben smiled ninjaly and said to Su Zongzhe: "We need to deal with the matter in India as soon as possible. We don't have much time.

Spend time with these third brothers..."

The most important thing is, I am afraid that if the soldiers of the National Defense Force drink the water of the Ganges, what will happen? Tu Mengben has been to India more than once, and he was deeply impressed by the Ganges River with all kinds of corpses floating there.

The Ganges of later generations have such virtues, so you can imagine what the Ganges of today will look like. Tu Mengben did not want his soldiers of the National Defense Force to be reduced to non-combat casualties tortured by the Ganges water instead of being defeated on the battlefield.

"By the way! Tell Uncle De Lin. Don't let the soldiers drink the water from the Ganges River! They can't even take a bath!" Thinking of this, Tu Mengben quickly said: "This thing is no better than Japanese poison gas bombs.

Oops, you’ll be in trouble if you get it!”

Su Zongzhe looked at Tu Mengben suspiciously. He felt strange about Tu Mengben's conclusion. But since Tu Mengben said it so formally, he nodded.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Tu Mengben coughed lightly and said, "Come in." Then Su Zongzhe's adjutant walked into the front door and handed Su Zongzhe a telegram with a complicated expression.
To be continued...
