But Nehru was well aware of these thoughts he was having.

The key problem is that he can't meet the demands of the attackers in the hotel—because they don't have any demands at all, and the negotiation experts he sent were killed at the hotel entrance several times.

It's clear that the other party had no intention of talking to him at all; their only goal was to eliminate the American and Russian representatives in the hotel.

If they succeed, Nehru will still have to face pressure from the three countries.

So, since he was going to die anyway, Nehru might as well order the hotel to be bombed to the ground. Maybe he could kill or injure a few attackers and give himself some room to maneuver.

No matter what orders he gave, General Caul resolutely refused.

Nehru had no choice but to bring in another general, Major General Sam Manekshaw, who had just been promoted to Director of the Army's Military Operations Directorate.

Compared to General Kaul, who was adept at speculation and profiteering, Major General Sam Manekshaw was a more pure soldier, and a future legendary general of India.

He decisively accepted Nehru's order and ordered the hotel to be shelled.

This single shot can be said to have stunned the entire world.

"...Has Nehru gone mad?" In a house a few dozen meters away from the hotel, Claire Wayan and Josie, who should have been inside the hotel, were now standing together at the window, staring dumbfounded at the thick smoke rising from the hotel due to the bombardment.

Chapter 206 Apocalypse!

boom! boom! boom!

Amidst the sounds of cannons and billowing smoke, the once luxurious palace-style hotel was quickly reduced to ruins.

Looking at the hotel reduced to ruins, and upstairs in the houses across the street, Claire Varyan's face was extremely gloomy.

If Josie hadn't prepared a safety passage at the hotel beforehand, they would really be buried here today.

That's right, the emergency exit.

Just as Claire Wayan and her men were hastily retreating back into the hotel, intending to join forces with Josie's men to break through the attackers' blockade and escape the hotel,

Josie, who had learned that the hotel had been cut off from the outside world by the attackers, suddenly led everyone to a warehouse on the ground floor of the hotel. After moving the goods in the warehouse, a secret passage was revealed inside.

The moment Claire Varyan saw this passage, she suddenly understood why Josie had been able to quietly investigate everything without leaving the hotel for the past two weeks.

Following this passage, they easily evaded the "attackers'" search and moved into this house.

After escaping the hotel, Vayan had originally planned to leave immediately to find Nehru.

However, Josie stopped her, citing the need to keep their current whereabouts a secret.

Not long after, the incident of bombing the hotel occurred.

Claire Vayan was even capable of bombing a hotel; she could no longer imagine what she would have faced had she gone to Nehru herself.

In fact, some things that happened during an undercover visit while she was investigating the attack on the UN investigation team had already made her have no good feelings towards this country.

Indians have always had more men than women, so in many places, men simply can't stand the sight of women.

No, it's not just that he can't stand women anymore; he might even prey on female animals.

If it weren't for Vayan's vigilance as a special agent, her skill, and the fact that she was armed, she might have already transformed into a female investigator-type firearm by now.

Given the current situation, it's fair to say that Claire Wayan harbors deep hatred for Nehru, and even for India.

"I really have to thank you this time, Mr. Kahn. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead here." Vayan let out a long sigh, suppressing his anger, and sincerely thanked Josie beside him.

"No need to thank me. We are comrades-in-arms on the issue of India now. Perhaps we should discuss how to report back to our country after we leave here!" Josie waved her hand and said with a serious expression.

“That’s right, Nehru must pay the price for his actions!” Wayan said with a serious expression.

While the two were discussing how to deal with the Indian and Nehru afterward, on the rooftop of a house on the other side of the street from the hotel, Nehru's expression was no better than Claire Varyan's.

As he issued the order, he was fully aware of what he might be facing.

But now that things have come to this point, he has no chance to turn back.

So, immediately after the smoke cleared, he ordered the army to "rescue" the hotel.

It was actually a search for the bodies of the Three Kingdoms investigation team members and the attackers.

For Nehru now, it would be best if these people were dead.

If he's not dead... then quickly finish him off with a few more shots.

Only in this way could he find a way to cover up the truth of the matter.

But in the end, this idea of ​​his could only remain a fantasy.

It wasn't just Claire Wayan and Josie who had already evacuated the hotel, which was a powder keg, long ago.

Just as the search and rescue team approached the hotel ruins, a soldier with keen hearing suddenly heard a series of muffled engine roars coming from under the hotel rubble.

Before these people could react, the loud engine noise suddenly became even more intense.

The next second, accompanied by a loud bang, a passage was suddenly blasted open from the inside of the southern corner of the hotel ruins.

Then a ferocious steel behemoth charged out from inside.

Some of the "rescuers" who were in front of it and couldn't get out of the way were instantly crushed into a pile of mangled flesh.

As the continuous, enormous roar continued and the smoke gradually dissipated, this terrifying steel behemoth finally revealed its true form to the Indian army.

It features two formidable 125mm 52-caliber cannons, four Mammoth anti-aircraft missiles, eight twin-mounted 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, four wide tracks, a massive hull measuring forty meters long, fifteen meters wide, and twelve meters high, and 16 layers of reinforced steel armor equivalent to 1600mm of armor.

(No official data for Apocalypse could be found, so this data is a product of Dust's own imagination, combining the legendary German P-1000 super tank and some settings from Red Alert 2 and 3. Don't take it too seriously.)

This is a complete and utter super war machine.

Its name is Apocalypse.

That's right, this is the Apocalypse Tank from the world of Red Alert, the most terrifying land warfare overlord in the Red Alert world, without exception.

Unlike in games, where you can build a huge number of things just because you have money.

In the real world of Red Alert, the Apocalypse Tank is never a conventional weapon, but rather the ultimate mobile fortress for land warfare. In the Red Alert world, only major cities and frontline main forces will have a small number of them deployed.

The peak number of Red Alert World's Soviet tanks exceeded 100,000, while the number of these Apocalypse tanks was only a thousand, because their cost was simply too high.

However, its terrifying nature is also real.

Basically, with sufficient supplies, such a tank is enough to confront an Allied infantry brigade head-on—the kind equipped with enough heavy artillery and air support.

And what about the outdated Indian army? Let alone a brigade, even the entire garrison around New Delhi would be no match for it.

"Quick, quick, quick, destroy that tank!" Nehru, who had been directing the entire operation from the rooftop, saw the terrifying tank and heard its powerful engine roar. His mind immediately went blank, and he hurriedly gave his subordinates the order to attack.

The surrounding troops were the Imperial Guard regiments guarding the capital, and they were quite efficient. They reacted immediately, and various types of artillery began firing at the Apocalypse Tank.

However, the most powerful weapons that the Indian army currently possesses are only some six-pounder cannons and 5.5-inch 140mm howitzers left behind by the British army before their withdrawal.

These two types of artillery were actually very powerful and were important equipment for the British army during World War II in attacking fortified positions and countering Panther and even Tiger tanks.

These two types of cannons were the main ones used to bombard hotels in the past.

However, these World War II-era cannons were completely ineffective against the terrifying Apocalypse. Either the shells were deflected and landed in the crowd, killing their own people, or the explosions barely scratched off much of the paint on the Apocalypse.

This result left the Indian troops dumbfounded.

And Apocalypse has never been one to simply take a beating without fighting back.

Instead of using the formidable main cannon, the sound came from eight twin-mounted 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns distributed around the tank.

This thing is a product of the Russian country after the 1950s, while the eight on Apocalypse's body have been developed several generations ago, belonging to the level of the world in Josie's previous life in the 1990s.

Although this thing is an anti-aircraft machine gun, its original version was used extensively by Soviet soldiers in anti-tank warfare during World War II.

Even in the 1990s, its power was still sufficient to deal with armored vehicles and some light bunkers, and it was an absolute killer weapon against infantry.

Now, imagine this is set in India in 1948...

The first to suffer were the Indian tanks on the blockade around the hotel—eight old Sherman M4s.

This tank, which shone brightly during World War II, was ultimately just a piece of equipment nearing obsolescence in the later stages of the war. Faced with a 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun that was decades older and equipped with armor-piercing rounds, it was as fragile as paper and was torn to shreds.

Indian soldiers who were unfortunately hit by these bullets could not even find any slightly larger pieces of their bodies; they were basically just mangled flesh.

Next came the artillery, whose firepower was so great that even infantry tanks couldn't withstand it, let alone the meager protection of these artillery pieces.

Moreover, the Indian soldiers piled the shells very close to the cannon. When a burst of bullets was fired, it caused a secondary explosion, sending the entire cannon flying into the air.

Such terrifying lethality and such intense warfare were extremely rare on the Asian battlefield. The Indian soldiers were so frightened that they ran away on the spot, and the officers couldn't call them back—no, the truth is that the officers ran even faster than the soldiers, and no one stopped them at all.

Seeing the Indian army collapse instantly, the Apocalypse Tank stopped firing and, right under Nehru's nose, arrogantly drove away towards the north of the city at a seemingly slow speed.

Wherever it went, all houses, vehicles, and high walls were easily crushed; it was utterly unstoppable.

"Call the Air Force! Stop that thing for me! And take a picture of it! The Russians have to give us an explanation!" Nehru roared at his secretary, who was trembling on the ground beside him, as he watched the Apocalypse Tank disappear into the distance.

Why a Russian bear?

Because the Apocalypse Tank had a hammer and sickle symbol painted on its body.

Although the sudden appearance of a Russian supertank in New Delhi was quite abrupt, Nehru knew it was probably a setup.

But at that moment, he didn't care at all.

This symbol gave him enough excuse to shift the blame onto the Russian bear.

In his view, there was nothing better as a bargaining chip in the aftermath.

Nehru overlooked one thing: whether he was truly qualified to negotiate with the Russian bear.
