Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

At this time, something happened that embarrassed Nehru and exacerbated the atmosphere of terror in New Delhi. The Army Chief of Staff, General Thapar, submitted his resignation to Nehru and then fled without waiting for Nehru's approval.

At this moment, crowds of people fled every intersection in New Delhi. No one was talking about defending the Indian capital at this moment. Many within the Congress Party were dissatisfied with Nehru's response, believing that he had lost his cool head. The opposition even called on Nehru to take responsibility for the defeat and resign as Prime Minister of India.

Some people even approached Indian President Radhakrishnan and suggested that he intervene and implement some form of presidential rule, temporarily suspending parliamentary activities and turning the cabinet into an advisory committee to the president, with Nehru as chief adviser.

The pressure from both inside and outside the party made Nehru a little nervous. These opposition groups not only approached the Indian president privately,

They also expressed their opinion publicly that Nehru was no longer fit to continue as the head of government.

Nehru made a very impulsive decision under pressure.

Nehru's collapse in 1120

"Catch, arrest all those who are talking nonsense."

Nehru was really anxious.

The battle reports from the front line have been coming in for the past two days, all of which are news of defeat. The most serious defeat occurred in the Kachin direction. China mobilized the 16th Army, the 40th Army, the 46th Army, three artillery divisions, and two rocket artillery regiments, with a total of 17 people directly participating in the war. There were also more than 17 troops from the 15th Army and the Kachin Production Corps who participated indirectly in the war. In the Yunnan direction, the number of troops actually mobilized by China exceeded

30 million people.

It took 40 hours to completely wipe out the Indian troops in this direction. This was a field force of 16 troops, including 2 infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, two divisional headquarters, and 2 men. This field force was followed by a large number of other troops, mainly local troops from the northeast, supporting the National Defense Force. Their mission was to bolster the army's momentum and provide logistics for the National Defense Force.

These troops were the most decisive. When they heard that the National Defense Forces had been destroyed by the Chinese army, they immediately found their bosses and asked them to contact the Chinese army.

Before entering India to fight, China had already prepared people who could communicate with the Indians. The Chinese army received forces from all sides, and Xu Liqing, as the political commissar, personally received them. Xu Liqing's message on behalf of the Chinese army was simple: China is not an imperialist country and does not intend to colonize or invade India.

China's current operation was a counterattack, launched in response to the Nehru government's continued invasion of Chinese territory. The Chinese military launched a military counterattack to protect its sovereignty. As a socialist country adhering to Marxism-Leninism, China opposes colonialism and aggression, supports national self-determination, and respects religious beliefs.

Therefore, these states in northeastern India do not need to worry about the Chinese army colonizing or invading here, let alone plundering here. After the Chinese army completes its combat objectives, it will naturally leave here.

The powerful groups in northeastern India did not fully believe China's statement. But when they heard that the Chinese army had annihilated more than 100,000 Indian defense forces, they all smiled happily.

One country, one government, everyone is working together, what a waste of time! The ethnic groups in northeastern India have nothing to do with the Hindu Hindustani people in terms of history, culture and religion.

Currently, Hindustani people only account for about 30% of the entire Indian population who believe in Hinduism, which means that the proportion of India's main ethnic group is very low.

In addition to Hinduism, there are also a large number of ethnic groups in India who believe in Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity.

The relationship between these different religious groups is not very good. As for Northeast India, there is even less historical connection between it and the Hindustani people.

After India's independence, the Indian government cracked down on the separatist forces in the northeast, and arrested many independence movement leaders, leading to tensions between the Indian government and these northeastern regions.

Historically, India has chosen to change the situation here by migrating here over the years. But even after decades, this is still a place where India's separatist forces are very strong.

Now that they heard that the main force of the Indian National Defense Force had been annihilated by more than 100,000 people, their imaginations immediately ran wild. This is a good opportunity. With the Chinese army here and the Indian National Defense Force suffering heavy losses, there is no chance of returning to the Northeast in the short term.

This is a godsend opportunity.

After receiving the news, many independent factions in the northeast began to connect with each other and exchange information, considering whether to unite and take advantage of this opportunity.

But they were still worried, so they secretly sent people to contact Wang Qiuyun, Xu Liqing and others again to test the attitude of the Chinese army.

Xu Liqing told them very seriously and clearly,

China's military action this time is solely to safeguard national sovereignty and punish the Nehru regime for its aggression against China. As for other matters, they have nothing to do with the Chinese military. The choices made by northeastern India are yours. China will neither support nor oppose them.

Although Xu Liqing made such a clear guarantee, these independent forces in the northeast still felt uneasy.

So they prepared a large amount of food and sent it to the Chinese army, hoping that the Chinese army would really not interfere.

Xu Liqing accepted the food they brought, but told them that the Chinese army was not bandits and would not take other people's things without permission. The Chinese army had to pay for taking things.

However, the Chinese army currently has no money, and the two sides do not exchange banknotes. If they are willing, the Chinese army can sell them some of the weapons captured in this battle at a discount and use them as currency.

After annihilating so many Indian troops, the Chinese army seized countless weapons.

Xu Liqing also told them that if possible, he hoped to purchase a batch of tea, jute and other things from them. The Chinese army could exchange these things with captured weapons. When these people in the Northeast heard what the Chinese army said,

Of course they would. The Indian Army's weapons and equipment are poor, but that's compared to the Chinese military. Within India, the Indian Army's weapons and equipment are the best. Especially for some powerful factions in northeastern India, these weapons and equipment are a real lifesaver.

After the initial cooperation between the two sides, Xu Liqing expressed that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. He hopes that this war will not affect their future cooperation.

Wang Qiuyun's original plan was for Zheng Weishan to lead the Tibet Military Region troops to cut off the Siliguri Corridor. Unexpectedly, after the fighting broke out, Wang Qiuyun's troops had already annihilated the main force of the Indian army before the Tibet Military Region had time to cut off the Siliguri Corridor.

So, Wang Qiuyun's side was actually faster, blocking the Indian troops in the Kejielang and Wanong areas. As a result, another four Indian brigades were unable to withdraw and were surrounded. Then came the Asai Kachin region in Xinjiang and the Ali region in Tibet.

The war here is mainly about capturing points because the Indian army has established too many strongholds in this area.

The Indian Army's 19th Division, with more than 47 troops, advanced deep into Xinjiang's Asai-Kachin and Tibet's Ali regions, establishing 83 strongholds within the areas previously controlled by the Chinese army, totaling . This is a step-by-step approach to establishing a stronghold.

After Yao Zhe arrived in Xinjiang, he dispatched elite troops from the Xinjiang Military Region to the Asai-Kchin region. Over the next few months, he continuously increased the transportation of supplies.

After the Indian 19th Division advanced deep into the hinterland, Yao Zhe began to concentrate his forces to eliminate these strongholds.

The Indian army's strongholds, the smaller ones only have fifty or sixty people.

There were as many as two or three hundred men. Yao Zhe's battle strategy was the same as Zheng Weishan's. The Indian army had too many strongholds, and eliminating them one by one would be a waste of time. Furthermore, the Chinese side would also need to divide their forces, which did not conform to Wang Qiuyun's order to concentrate forces for a decisive battle.

So Yao Zhe's plan is to capture the key strongholds,

Completely split the Indian Army's 19th Division. The same applies to the battle in the Ali area: let go of unimportant strongholds, eliminate key strongholds, cut off the enemy's retreat, and cut off the enemy's transportation lines.

In two days, 66 strongholds were eliminated and

Two brigades of the 19th Division surrounded two brigades. Even the vanguard of the Xinjiang Military Region has advanced into the Ladakh region.

This attack made the 19th Division of the Indian Army panic and kept calling for reinforcements. But the Indian Army now had no reinforcements. The Indian Defense Forces' mobile forces had been completely annihilated and had no mobile forces at all.

Therefore, the Indian Ministry of Defense had no choice but to transfer the 10th Indian Army Division from the neighboring Kashmir region to support the 19th Indian Army Division. However, at this time, it was not only China that was paying attention to the Indian Army's troop deployment, but Pakistan was also paying attention.

The Indian army's sudden and devastating defeat stunned even its sworn enemy, Pakistan. Twelve years ago, India and Pakistan engaged in a year-long conflict over Kashmir. While it's unclear who won or lost, Pakistan has always considered it a defeat.

So when Pakistan saw how easily China defeated India, it began to fear Red China for the first time.

Of course, in addition to fear, Pakistan is also eager to make a move. With India's crushing defeat, Pakistan certainly doesn't want to miss the opportunity. Especially since India's transfer of the 10th Division of the Indian Army has left the Indian Army with a significant manpower deficit in Kashmir, Pakistan has begun mobilizing troops in Kashmir.

Of course, Pakistan also sent personnel to contact China because Pakistan wanted to know whether China was going to destroy India or occupy Indian territory.

Are you interested in Kashmir?

Pakistan does not want to have a conflict with the Chinese army.

Faced with the huge defeat in the war, the huge pressure from public opinion at home, and Pakistan's eagerness to make a move,

Nehru was so nervous that his nerves were no longer in their normal state.

Nehru, therefore, could not accept the opposition's criticism in the newspapers, as well as some who were encouraging the president to seize power. Encouraging the president to seize power was tantamount to attempting a coup, to oust him. Furthermore, the thought that China, like the Communist Party of China, and the Communist Party of India, were both Marxist-Leninist parties, further displeased Nehru.

Therefore, Nehru, in a state of high tension and completely losing his composure, ordered the Ministry of Home Affairs to arrest those opposition members who were "desperate for unrest" throughout the country, with a particular focus on the largest opposition party, the Communist Party of India.

Nehru's original intention was to silence these people. However, no one expected that Nehru's uncalm order would bring about a series of chain reactions.

Nehru had been India's Prime Minister for over a decade and was a key figure in India's independence, so he held considerable power within the government. The central government departments were largely controlled by Nehru's cronies.

So even though Nehru is facing so much criticism and questioning now, his orders are still carried out smoothly in government departments.

After receiving Nehru's order, the Ministry of Home Affairs moved swiftly, obtaining a list of prominent opposition figures from the Indian Intelligence Ministry and distributing it to various local authorities. As a result, the Ministry of Home Affairs arrested over a thousand people nationwide that very evening. These individuals were all key opposition leaders, particularly those of the Communist Party of India (CPI).

Nehru finally seemed to have calmed down a bit. But a few hours later, the Soviet ambassador to India came to Nehru's office in a rage.

I hope Nehru will explain why there were such large-scale arrests of the Communist Party of India and such large-scale massacres of Communist Party of India members across the country.

Nehru was frightened by the attitude of the Soviet ambassador.

Although Nehru was arrogant and led the "Non-Aligned Movement", as if he wanted India to become the leader of another camp besides the US and the Soviet Union, Nehru also dreamed of becoming a world political leader.

But Nehru was very wary of the United States and the Soviet Union, or in other words, he was very afraid of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, although Nehru shouted every day about opposing colonialism and hegemony and wanting to develop the "Non-Aligned Movement", he never took any substantive action to offend the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Moreover, the relationship between India and the Soviet Union has always been good, and the two countries are considered traditional allies.

Because the United States supports Pakistan and even wants to use Pakistan to contain China and the Soviet Union, so as Pakistan's mortal enemy, India is of course close to the Soviet Union.

Nehru never thought of offending the Soviet Union.

Therefore, when conflicts arose with China, Nehru never talked about the contradiction between China and India as a contradiction between India and socialist countries, but only said that it was a contradiction on the border between China and India.

But the Soviet ambassador's aggressive call for accountability left Nehru bewildered. He had not offended the Soviet Union, so why was the Soviet Union so angry?

Nehru soon realized that the Soviet Union was not so angry. It was because of his order that caused huge chaos. So Nehru immediately called in the Minister of Home Affairs, Shastri.

"What's going on with you? Why have so many CPI leaders been arrested? And why are there so many serious killings of CPI members in the region?"

When Nehru learned about it, he was shocked.

He had no idea why it had become so serious.

The Ministry of Home Affairs must be mentally ill because India is nominally a socialist country and has good relations with the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the CPI is very active in India. They have abandoned armed struggle and mainly engaged in parliamentary struggle. In the Indian parliament, the CPI's strength is second only to the Congress Party. In addition, the CPI integrates the entire left-wing political forces, so its influence is very large.

Furthermore, many of the Indian Communist Party leaders had good relations with the Soviet Communist Party. Nehru greatly needed these Indian Communist Party leaders because he needed their relationship with the Soviet Communist Party to gain diplomatic and economic support for India.

Therefore, although Nehru and the Congress Party had dirty dealings with the Communist Party of India and secretly suppressed it over the years,

But overall, the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.

After Nehru read the newspaper articles criticizing him, he ordered the Ministry of Home Affairs to arrest the radical members of the Communist Party of India (CPI). These people were nominally members of the CPI, but had almost become independent from it. They did not even recognize Nehru's government.

They hadn't been touched before because they hadn't officially separated from the CPI. Nehru hadn't done anything about them out of respect for the CPI. Now, facing internal and external difficulties, Nehru was in a bad mood, so he took advantage of this opportunity to round these people up and wipe them out.

But who could have imagined that the Ministry of Home Affairs completely misunderstood Nehru's intentions and arrested all the leaders of the left, center, and right factions of the Communist Party of India. The current leadership of the Communist Party of India includes radicals as well as centrists who support the Nehru government and hope that the Communist Party of India will become a part of Nehru's government.

Another part is the pro-Soviet faction that was supported and supported by the Soviet Union and had good relations with the Nehru government.

The results of it?

Now the Ministry of the Interior has arrested all of these people. Some of the Ministry of the Interior's local agencies have even executed people who were arrested based on the Ministry's list in anger.

Of course, simply executing some people could solve the problem, but when the Ministry of Home Affairs began arresting CPI leaders, many local powerful groups believed that Nehru was trying to purge the CPI.

They had always disliked the Communist Party of India. While Nehru's land reforms severely oppressed many small landlords, he left the real local landlords and powerful factions untouched. But the Communist Party of India was different. They advocated continuing Nehru's land reforms and implementing genuine land reforms, emulating the practices of China and the Soviet Union.

The Communist Party of India is a political party with a foundation. In 1957, the first Communist Party-run state government emerged in Kerala, India, with Namboodiripat as the state chief minister. However, their policies were resisted by local powerful groups, and a huge conflict arose between the two sides. In July 1959,

On the 31st, the Indian President took over the state government and implemented presidential rule on the grounds that law and order in Kerala had been disrupted and the government had lost the support of the people.

However, the PKI's desire to implement land reform still received considerable support, especially at the local level, where powerful factions had always considered the PKI a thorn in their side.

Now Nehru suddenly ordered the Ministry of Home Affairs to arrest the leaders of the Indian Communist Party. Of course, the local powerful factions would think that Nehru wanted to take action against the Indian Communist Party because he lost the war. They immediately spread rumors in the local area, saying that the Indian Communist Party was China's internal support. The reason why the Indian army failed was,

It is because the Communist Party of India leaked military intelligence to China.

Local powerful factions, leveraging nationalism, launched a fierce attack on the PKI. Serious killings of PKI members occurred in many areas. In one night, over 1500 PKI members were murdered.
