Sky Curtain: My Great Qin must have an aircraft carrier!

Li Shimin looked up at the sky and suddenly slapped his thigh.

After Xuanzang returned from his journey to the west, he wrote a book called "The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions," which contains a very detailed account of India.

India was rich in natural resources, and the sugar and spices that were sent as tribute were something that Princess Chang Le could never forget.

The Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry was invincible; if they could cross the Tibetan Plateau and travel to India, that would be a wonderful thing.

Just as Li Shimin was pondering, the sky made a new move.

[Then some people might ask, is Indian Winning Theory invincible? Isn't anyone going to wake them up?]

Some brothers did, and in 1962, Lao Zhong couldn't hold back and Bang Bang punched him twice.

"Oh? They've started fighting?"

Cheng Yaojin perked up, wanting to see how future generations would deal with these clowns.

After all, India had made Lao Cheng lose face, and he was very unhappy about it.

It's quite interesting that later dynasties in the Central Plains took action against India.

To be fair, India was not weak at the time, having inherited the entire legacy of its "wild father" Britain.

A robust civil service system, an industrial base, a railway network, and a ring of surrounding colonies made India a regional power shortly after its independence.

When Nehru was taking stock of his assets, he found a map that Dai Ying had casually drawn years ago.

The UK planned to cede a piece of land in Tibet to India, but no sovereign state recognized this, let alone put it under administrative jurisdiction.

But Nehru took it seriously and demanded territory from Laos and China with a clear conscience.

China and Laos have only recently established their nation, and in the face of India's provocations, they have chosen a peaceful resolution, without the need for violence.

As a result, India perceived them as weak and vulnerable, and the provocation escalated into armed occupation.

Nehru was determined to target the Chinese to solidify his position as the hegemon of South Asia.

"These barbarians from beyond the borders dare to provoke the orthodox Central Plains?"

Li Shimin suddenly stood up and slammed his palm on the dragon table.

Previously, when I heard about Ying Xue, I thought it was just a way to appease the ignorant masses at the bottom of society. It turns out that the higher-ups also believed in it without question.

Using scraps of paper drawn by the previous colonial rulers to extort money from a newly established regime—that's utterly absurd.

If it were the Tang Dynasty, and a foreign state dared to be so arrogant, they would have already razed their capital to the ground!

With a blade to his neck, let's see if he dares to mention anything about winning theories again!

Li Ji stood in the ranks of military officers and said coldly, "The advantage that India gained was because the Central Plains dynasties were newly established and couldn't spare any resources."

"What if I have a free hand?" Cheng Yaojin rubbed his fists together.

"Didn't Tianmu say it? Two punches, bang bang."

Li Ji rubbed his fingers on the hilt of his sword, feeling that these barbarians deserved to be taught a lesson.

Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied: "Just two punches aren't enough. Give me 50,000 men, and I'll go and twist the head off the King of Tianzhu."

"That land in India is also quite good. It would be a waste to give it to the barbarians to cultivate the land we have conquered."

Upon hearing this, the military officers present subtly shifted their gazes, each harboring their own thoughts.

Since the canopy allows us to see it, it might be a kind of revelation.

The Tang Dynasty simply took a one-step approach and directly transferred its territory to the Tang Dynasty, thus avoiding leaving trouble for future generations.

-

Some people are wondering, what gives India the right to be so arrogant?

At the time, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States strongly supported India, and even Britain publicly voiced its support.

Three of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council have sided with India, providing it with money, weapons, and media support.

With this kind of grandeur, even Nehru would be overwhelmed, and anyone else would be bewildered.

With the world's admiration, India's self-confidence has swelled to the extreme.

During a media interview, the general made outrageous remarks, claiming that one Indian soldier could take on twenty Chinese soldiers.

In this atmosphere of fervor, Nehru abandoned all pretense and ordered his army to directly invade Laos and China.

Upon seeing this, the instructor silently lit a cigarette for himself.

If you calculate the time, it has been thirteen years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Judging from Tianmu's teasing tone, he most likely won.

But the instructor's face showed little joy.

That means crossing Tibet. How will we handle the logistics and supplies?

How many more young soldiers will shed their blood on that icy, snowy land?

The instructor pressed the half-smoked cigarette butt into the ashtray and let out a soft sigh.

The comrade next to him looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't Nehru the leader of the Indian independence movement?"

"Logically speaking, since we're both in the anti-imperialist and anti-colonial camp, why would he come to attack us?"

The instructor shook his head, his tone calm: "Didn't Tianmu say that Nehru inherited the British legacy, but did not overthrow the vested interests?"

"Nehru did not represent the masses, but rather the interests of the big capitalists and landowners."

"It's not surprising at all that such a person would be in charge, and with the brainwashing of 'winner-oriented' ideology turning it into great power chauvinism."

The instructor didn't say anything more, because there were many things that needed to be understood by oneself.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the cave.

The messenger pushed open the door, clutching a piece of paper in his hand, sweating profusely as he ran.

"Report: A new list of aid supplies has arrived from the international community, but the recipients are somewhat unusual..."

"What's so special about it? Let me see it."

Several leaders gathered around, their heads crammed together, staring at the narrow strip of paper.

On the list, a new aid provider appeared—the United States.

Advanced industrial equipment, a complete set of technical drawings, and even a batch of medical supplies.

Although the note stated that it was a donation from an unofficial channel or a non-governmental friendly organization, no one would believe it.

"Looks like they know the ending and are planning to place their bets in advance?"

One leader looked at it twice, speaking cautiously: "But I heard that Chiang Kai-shek's side also received a batch of aid."

"What exactly does the US mean by hedging its bets?"

The instructor folded the note in two and casually slipped it into his notebook.

"No matter who sends it, as long as it is beneficial to our development and the liberation of the people, it is welcome in principle."

"But we cannot lose our sense of independence and self-reliance, nor can we provoke the Big Brother. The specific acceptance process needs to be carefully considered."

The leaders exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The instructor put his notebook into his bag, looked up, and saw that the screen had already moved on to new material.

In 1962, Nehru, believing everything was ready, ordered India’s elite 7th Brigade to cross the Line of Actual Control.

This unit was the core group left behind by Dai Ying, known as the ace of ace, the elite of the elite.

The 54th Division, stationed on the frontier, dealt a heavy blow and, in just one day, brought this elite brigade to its knees.

Brigadier General Dalvi was captured, becoming the first Indian general to be taken prisoner since independence.

Everyone who saw this was speechless and then burst out laughing.

They jumped around so much before the battle started, I thought they were really something.

Is that all?

With such meager strength, they dare to act so recklessly; even the King of Hell would have to praise their audacity.

"It seems that even the study of martial arts can't enhance combat power. I guess Nehru should face reality and sit down for a proper talk."

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, showing little interest in what followed.

Even the most irrational person, after being beaten so badly, should know their own limitations, right?

However, the next moment, Tianmu continued his sermon in a mocking voice.

"But Nehru wasn't convinced, believing that the altitude had affected his performance and that the advantage still lay with him!"

"At this time, the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out, and the US and the Soviet Union could not take care of South Asia, which gave Laos and China the opportunity to act freely."

"Although we won the first battle, we treated the Indian army as the main force of the National Army based on the principle of overestimating the enemy and quickly dispatched the 180th Division to provide support."

"The battle lasted only five days, and the front-line troops pushed straight through."

"The entire northeastern defense line of India has collapsed, and New Delhi is in a state of panic."

"A British war correspondent delivered a sharp critique using British humor."

"Since I left the East African savanna, I have never seen any mammals that can run so fast in a group."

On screen, Indian troops were seen fleeing in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons, a scene so spectacular that it left everyone stunned.
