Chapter 207 Fill the world with love (Chapter 3)
Edward had a smile on his face and his attitude was very firm. The United States had strong force and was not suitable for direct conflict with the Soviet Union. Now, it is too easy to put some pressure on a country in the third world.
"Can I think your country is declaring war?" Indira Gandhi asked, at this time, her mind was calm.
"Of course not. We, the United States, will not declare war on any country. This is not our war. We are just the messengers of peace. We come with an olive branch, hoping that India and Pakistan will restore the past peace and make the world full of love." Edward said.
Bastard, this place has nothing to do with the United States. You are driving aircraft carriers, flying fighter jets, coming with great might, and saying that you want to make the world full of love? Indira Gandhi tried his best to maintain enough restraint in front of the American ambassador: "What if we don't?"
"Then we will impose sanctions on India, and the entire West will impose sanctions on India. Just like we did to the Soviet Union, India will no longer obtain any weapons, equipment and technology from the Western world, and cooperation in the civilian field will also be completely stopped." Edward said: "At the same time, we will also support the territorial requirements of the eastern countries in the north of your country."
The United States' attitude is very obvious. Even if the Americans don't do it themselves, it will completely isolated India in the world. In particular, Edward also mentioned Eastern countries. Whenever this happens, Eastern countries will come out to stand out for Pakistan.
India is the main enemy of Pakistan, but Pakistan is not the most important enemy of India. India's enemy comes from the East. When India's founding leader Nehru failed to win that border war, the hope of India's pursuit of a great power in South Asia was shattered. Now, as the wish of the Nehru family, when thinking about this, Indira Gandhi felt a sense of shame.
However, she was powerless, and India could not afford such a price.
"If we stop fighting back, how do we explain to the people?" said Indira Gandhi.
"This is not a problem with our United States, it is your domestic affairs. We, the United States, will not interfere in any of your internal affairs." Edward said: "We are the guardians of the international order and will not interfere in internal affairs."
This is also called not interfering in internal affairs! Indira Gandhi watched the American ambassador leave, and his anger reached its peak.
When the tactics were formulated, they were fighting quickly, the faster the better, just to avoid US interference. Now, the dragged army forces have dragged down this attack.
Our side had completely failed, completely failed! Indira Gandhi looked outside, the autumn wind blew, and the leaves had begun to fall.
"Rajiv, you said, how should we deal with the predicament now?" Indira Gandhi asked as his eldest son walked in.
Indira Gandhi had only two choices, and India had nuclear weapons. In 1974, India successfully conducted an undisclosed nuclear test in Pokhara, Rajasthan. It was when Indira Gandhi first became prime minister.
Now, when the country is at its most dangerous time, India has the right to use nuclear weapons to destroy Pakistan's air force! This is her only killer weapon.
The second is to agree to the Americans' request and temporarily stop the attack on Pakistan, so that India will fail completely.
"We cannot use nuclear weapons," Rajiv said. "If we use nuclear weapons, then the United States, and Eastern countries, may use nuclear weapons to fight back against us. Pakistan has gained support from the West, which is our biggest disadvantage."
"The Soviets will support us," said Indira Gandhi.
"We have been used by the Soviets," Rajiv said. "At the critical moment, we did not see the Soviets helping us. The Soviets just wanted us to restrain Pakistan."
Although he has not been in politics for a long time, Rajiv has made great progress and political insights, and at some point he has surpassed his mother, especially now, Indira Gandhi has lost enough patience.
Now, after hearing Rajiv's words, Indira Gandhi suddenly realized that it was true! The Soviets were just using India! Using India to restrain Pakistan, fortunately pacifying Afghanistan on the Western Front! The Soviets had never thought of really helping India!
"Account for the Soviet ambassador immediately!" said Indira Gandhi.
"We should not protest with the Soviets now." Rajiv said, afraid that his angry mother would scold the Soviet ambassador for being terrified.
"Of course it's not a protest. I'm asking the Soviets for help. They should export the most advanced fighter jets to India." Indira Gandhi said: "Now, our biggest problem is that the air force is suppressed by Pakistan. We need new fighter jets!"
Indira Gandhi does not understand politics, but she has keen insight. In these battles, the Pakistanis dispatched the air force. Their air force is too advanced. India should eliminate old fighter jets and use new fighter jets to make up for the gap.
"In fact, it is not only the Soviet Union that can output fighter jets to us. On the Western Front, the Soviet fighter jets did not have an absolute advantage in confronting Pakistani fighter jets. We also have French Phantom 2000," said Rajiv.
In 1982, India signed a contract to purchase forty Phantom 2000s. In history, this batch of fighter jets arrived in 1984 and were equipped at the Galli-Maharajpur base and Gwalior base. Later, the Indians thought the planes were OK, so they ordered nine more and planned to produce them on their own in India. Unfortunately, at this time, the cheap MiG 29 had already arrived in the Indian Air Force's equipment sequence, so the Indian Air Force only equipped these forty Phantom 2000s.
Now, India can no longer wait so much. It must use this new type of fighter to smash the no-fly zone over Kashmir on Pakistan!
Although the United States has severely warned India not to expand the scale of the war, the Pakistani people set up a no-fly zone over Kashmir, which completely damages India's sovereignty. Moreover, this is just a local war. The Americans will not be so aggressive and will always support Pakistan. Even the sky above Kashmir must be controlled by them?
In that case, India would rather throw a nuclear bomb over Pakistan than engage in a nuclear war.
"Yes, urge the French side to return our fighter planes!" Indira Gandhi said: "Why didn't those Air Force officers mention this to me?"
Who dares to mention them? Now, only Rajiv can speak to Indira Gandhi. These fighter jets were told by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Now, the key to the war is in heaven.
The Soviet ambassador soon appeared in front of Indira Gandhi. Looking at the gray-haired Indira Gandhi, the Soviet ambassador was helpless.
"Our battle is very unfavorable," said Indira Gandhi. "There were several failures in succession and fewer than 10,000 people lost. As our ally, I wonder what kind of compensation you can provide us?"
At that time, it was agreed that both sides would attack together, but the Soviet Union did not make any major moves and India suffered heavy losses. When Indira Gandhi saw the Soviet ambassador, he held back and did not get angry.
"We didn't expect that Americans were involved." The Soviet ambassador said: "We cannot have direct conflicts with Americans, otherwise it will be the outbreak of World War III."
"Then we will have to stop attacking under the deterrence of the Americans. The Americans also use nuclear weapons to deter us. Can the Soviet Union provide us with a nuclear protection umbrella?" Indira Gandhi asked.
The Soviet ambassador shook his head: "We cannot conflict directly with the United States. Nuclear war will destroy the entire world."
"Then please tell me what specific plans do the Soviet Union have for the next step?"
"We will stop contacting the Pakistan Air Force," the Soviet ambassador said.
"What? In this case, your side is going to withdraw from the battle?" Indira Gandhi asked. This was simply a betrayal of oneself.
"It's just a temporary withdrawal. Now, it's just because we pose a serious threat to Pakistan that the United States will spare no effort to help Pakistan and fight India. If the threat from western Pakistan disappears, then the United States will reduce aid to Pakistan and your pressure will be greatly reduced." The Soviet ambassador said.
This is simply a fallacy! However, the Soviet ambassador can only say that when there was an accident in the transportation channel entering Iran, the Afghan garrison troops were once again facing a shortage of logistics supplies, and they had no power to launch a large-scale attack for the time being.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union must reduce its battle against Pakistan and fight the power of the Afghan Free Army within Afghanistan. The current Soviet Union is no longer able to fight against Pakistan. Moreover, they do not have many solutions for the time being. The combination of Pakistan's Tomcat fighter jets and Immortal missiles is too powerful.
Moreover, this is not entirely a fallacy. The subtle relationship between major powers is all about checks and balances. American politicians are very smart. It can definitely be seen that the rise of Eastern countries is also a threat to them, while India is a bargaining chip to restrain Eastern countries. Therefore, the United States will not excessively help Pakistan to fight against India. The United States just hopes to maintain the status quo.
At the beginning, the Soviet Union did not expect India to achieve great results. It just hoped that India could help restrain Pakistan's air force. Who would have thought that Pakistan's air force would not lose its disadvantage when fighting on both sides of the two sides.
