Chapter 320 Breaking the City
On the same day that the Ming army bombarded New Delhi, Pakistani troops arrived in Mumbai.
"Agree to the conditions for a standstill? It was only then that I agreed. What did Nehru do? The conditions are not in this situation. We have all reached New Delhi, so of course we have to have a new offer!
The previous one remains unchanged, and I will no longer increase the compensation for military expenses. Speaking of which, they are quite poor, just a little less than 2 billion US dollars!
However, they must ced Mumbai province to Pakistan!”
Yang Feng said to Jansen.
Nehru remembered that the British came again, after all, no one could help them. His old master was pretty good to him, but Jensen did not represent Fatty Qiu. Fatty Qiu didn't want to show off. The Americans returned to the death and jumped out again, which could easily make people have bad associations. Therefore, Jensen represented George VI and helped the Indians convey their wishes to seek peace in their private capacity.
The things in their aristocratic circle have nothing to do with the civilians in the New World.
Of course, Jansen understood that Yang Feng could not let Mumbai go, but it would be too cruel to have the entire Mumbai province.
At this time, the administrative divisions of the Indians were somewhat different from those of later generations. Gujarat and Maharashtra were still together, both belonging to Mumbai Province. This was like taking out land as large as the entire Sumatra Island from the territory of India. The Indians could not agree to it no matter what. What's more, the Pakistani army did not occupy the entire Mumbai Province. They just seized the northwest and the coastal areas west of the Western Ghats. Even if they seized Mumbai next, it would be at most half of Mumbai Province.
It is reasonable to not return the places you have grabbed in the past few days, but it is too much to even have places you haven't grabbed.
"His Excellency, I think they cannot agree to this condition."
After thinking about it, he told Yang Feng frankly.
Because of the factual ally between the two sides and the urgent need for Yang Feng's help, Jansen knew very well that although he was invited by Nehru, he had to stand on Yang Feng's stand, and it was because he stood on Yang Feng's stand that he had to tell everything frankly that Yang Feng's unrealistic offer could only keep the war and not help end the war.
"What you need is Mumbai, I think you are not interested in other places, right?"
Jansen continued.
Yang Feng nodded.
"Then what you need now is to get Mumbai. End this war as soon as possible, because only when the war is over can you develop the oil there, otherwise you can only watch it continue to sleep underground.
Nehru will not agree to your conditions. Even if you capture New Delhi or even capture him, he will not sign such an armistice agreement. Even if he commits suicide, he will not sign it. I still have a certain understanding of him.
What's more, even if he signs, it's useless.
The meaning of the capital is not lost before it is lost. Once it is taken away, it will become an ordinary city.
The same is true for the government to perform its duties before it can perform its duties. Once it is captured, the government will no longer be the government and the Prime Minister will no longer be the Prime Minister.
As long as the Indians persist in resisting, they will soon have a new capital, a new government, a new prime minister.
And as far as I know, the President of India Prasad has left New Delhi by train, and there are also a large number of MPs accompanying him, whose destination is Bhopal, and it is obvious that they are ready to deal with the situation after losing New Delhi."
Jansen said.
The head of state in Tianzhu was not the prime minister, but the president, and he was also the supreme commander of the armed forces. It was just a cabinet system and the prime minister held great power. At this time, the president was Gandhi's old partner Prasad. He was originally in history until 1962.
Nehru is not stupid, of course he will not let the entire national leadership stay in New Delhi and wait for a slaughter. He, the government and military generals stay in the capital. Prasad led the parliament to withdraw to Bhopal. Once New Delhi is captured and he and the government agencies are captured, Prasad will take over the country as president, and then use Bhopal as the capital during the war.
The Ming army only surrounded the west bank of the Yamuna River, and the east bank was still under the control of the Indians. Therefore, Prasad's retreat was not affected.
"His Excellency, Your Majesty the King of Our Country has a suggestion."
Jansen said.
Yang Feng nodded and signaled to him to speak.
"First of all, India must ced the land, but not the entire Mumbai province, and they must ced the Kachi swamp and the Kachi highlands to Pakistan. Of course, the Kati Ava Peninsula must also ced the area around Mumbai. Then, you think the area is sufficient. And Amudaba and the corridors to the south may be returned to them. They give up all of Kashmir in the north, while Punjab still follows the Redcliff line, and the other fronts will retreat back to the pre-war dividing line.
In this way, what you need is, Pakistan also has enough benefits, and in the future, sufficient troops will be stationed in Mumbai and Kati Ava Peninsula. As long as the Indians have the intention to restart the war, these two places will be two bridgeheads that can support military operations of any scale."
Jansen said.
It is obvious that he did consider Yang Feng. This is the bottom line that the Indians may accept. The Kati Ava Peninsula and the Kachi Swamp area are no big deal. Although there is Gandhi's birthplace, it is just a traditional agricultural area. At most, the salt industry is important. This is not a big deal for the Indians surrounded by the sea on three sides. The real important thing is Mumbai. However, since Yang Feng wants Mumbai, they must spit it out.
This is obviously much easier to accept than ceding the entire Mumbai province.
"Well, if this is the advice of His Majesty the King of your country, then I agree."
Yang Feng thought about it and said.
He is indeed in a hurry to end the war now. After all, he still has a lot of things to worry about, such as the freedom cause of the Japanese people and the great cause of restoration of His Majesty the King of Goryeo. This is 52 years. It is estimated that the two sides will have to negotiate after the sixth battle. Once Lee Seung-man is freed, he may not continue to tolerate His Majesty the King to poach him. Moreover, the Middle East is also very chaotic this year, such as Egypt's life, etc., which are all things he needs to worry about!
What's more, the Soviet aircraft carriers were about to be launched.
According to the information he obtained, the first batch of trial production Jacques 25s of the Soviets had actually been in service on the Georgian aircraft carrier. It is said that Stalin highly praised this carrier-based aircraft, especially the air combat performance, which was simply unparalleled. Even under certain circumstances, the air combat thrust-to-weight ratio could reach one to one. Although the speed did not reach the speed of sound of a tiger shark, it also exceeded 1.3.
However, the legs are shorter, and it is probably half a pound of the tiger shark, but the plug-in ability cannot reach the level of the tiger shark, which is normal. After all, there are only two Mikulin engines with a thrust of just over three tons. If you want to achieve a one-to-one thrust-weight ratio, your body will definitely not be big.
The reason why it has not been mass-produced on a large scale is largely because Stalin wants to do it perfectly.
He got the An/apg36 radar of the Saber D, and it has been copied, so he also wanted to turn it into an all-weather fighter. Even because the Ming army's air-to-air missiles were shining, he also wanted to install the Jacques 25 with a missile, and the starting point was very high, and he was ready to directly use the upper half of the active radar guided missile. It is now under development, that is, the original K5 or AA1 in history, and it is estimated that it will be almost in service 55 years ago.
Another problem is that the supporting carrier-based attack aircraft has not been developed yet, and Jacques 25 cannot bear the ability to attack ships, and Stalin cannot get the Il 10 on the aircraft carrier, so he prepared a new jet attack aircraft for his aircraft carrier. As for the number, it is the abandoned Il 40 in history, of course, it has nothing to do with the original Il 40. The only similar one is the two Mikulin engines.
But this attack aircraft must be put into service in the early 50s and 30s.
So Yang Feng has less than a year left.
It is indeed not suitable to continue to get involved with the Indians now.
However, Nehru refused to agree at this time.
After the Ming army arrived, they did not attack New Delhi directly, but quickly solved the defenders of Gurgaon. However, the powerful attack power of three armored brigades and three aircraft brigades stopped at the periphery of New Delhi, and then they set up 240 heavy mortars from three sides, and began to rush towards the city continuously, but they just didn't enter the city.
This inevitably made Nehru have a little fantasy, thinking that the Ming army was indeed frightened by his entire nation.
The army he transferred from the southern front and the army he transferred from the eastern front were also coming to reinforce day and night. If he could hold on in New Delhi for half a month, he might have created a miracle, so he rejected the proposal of the British.
Even the British spoke out this plan in a way that was very thoughtful about him.
The British told him that this was equivalent to exchanging Mumbai for New Delhi, otherwise New Delhi would not be able to be saved, and Mumbai would not be able to be saved either. Instead of both places being destroyed by war, it would be better to do such an exchange, which would be considered as the slightest of the two harms. As for other ceded land, it was used to exchange the occupied areas including Amudaba from the Pakistani people, otherwise he would not only lose most of Mumbai province but also Punjab, and Kashmir would also not be able to be saved.
This exchange is completely in his favor.
But at this time, Nehru, who was full of his mind to create the Stalingrad miracle, no longer listened to the advice, not to mention that he also knew Yang Feng's purpose of seizing Mumbai. Now he was completely burning with the burning anger and lost his mind and could not keep calm.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to say.
"Fight, hit New Delhi, next time I will discuss peace with Nehru in person!"
Yuan Zheng said viciously.
