Chapter 187 Talks
When Wang Ze received the message, he was already ready to rest, but this news made him lose all desire to sleep.
He knew that the Indian army was useless. After all, in the future, three people would capture an artillery battalion.
Wang Ze didn't expect that the navy looked even more useless than the army.
In particular, an aircraft carrier could actually have a landing accident, which resulted in this important and key force being unable to exert any strength at all.
Wang Ze knew that Indian pilots would have a mission to crash one plane every month in the future, and sometimes they could even exceed the mission.
But I didn't expect that they would take on this task so early.
Wang Ze sat on the sofa in the hall, thinking back to the four wars that had taken place in one year since he came here. He felt like he was just playing house.
It sounds pretty impressive that four countries were defeated, but Wang Ze felt embarrassed to say it out loud.
No wonder thousands of remnants of the National Army fled to Burma and had no rivals in the Golden Triangle.
If they were not so few in number and lacked adequate equipment, Wang Ze felt that they could even carve out a niche for themselves in Southeast Asia.
Accustomed to huge battles involving tens of thousands of people at home, Wang Ze now finds it quite boring to fight this kind of opponent every time.
However, the combat power of Southeast Asia is just like this. Even the strongest country in South Asia, India, has only just gained independence, and all of its territory was directly taken over by the British without any armed resistance. Both its military capabilities and will are very poor.
Wu Wu returned to Xincheng Naval Port with two battleships, but his speed was slowed down a lot because of the second-hand ships from India.
It did not arrive until the next night. Due to the location of the naval port, the warship had to pass through the busy Xincheng Port. Even this time, it was already quite late when it returned.
However, after entering the busy waterway, both passenger and cargo ships saw two New Town battleships escorting an aircraft carrier and a destroyer.
By the time Wu Wu arrived at the naval port, the news of the victory in the Battle of Xincheng had already spread all over the world through radio waves.
This news caused many newspapers to directly change the content of their newspapers, putting the news on the front page, and some Southeast Asian countries even put it directly on the headlines.
The next morning, everyone knew the news of Xincheng's victory and the failure of India's invasion of Southeast Asia.
The Indian side reacted quickly, sending diplomats from Yangon to New Town overnight, hoping that both sides would cease fire and return to their respective territories, and demanding that the two captured ships be returned to India.
This request made Wang Jixin laugh. He didn't expect India to be so naive. Xincheng would never return the things it got even if it couldn't use them.
India’s request was immediately rejected and Xincheng’s attitude was explained.
India must surrender unconditionally.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands belong to the new city.
As for the warship, Wang Jixin didn't mention it at all. This thing is already in his hands, and he can come to Xincheng if he has the ability.
Indian diplomats reported the results to the Indian government.
Harald was furious at the meeting that day. Although it was unclear how he failed, failure was a fact.
The naval general didn't even dare to raise his head after being scolded.
He said nothing when Harald wanted the navy to continue fighting.
How to fight? India originally only had one aircraft carrier and three destroyers that could sail and fight long distances, and now there is only one destroyer left.
Send them to die?
The naval general listened to the accusations expressionlessly, but he simply disagreed with the navy continuing to fight.
Harald was also helpless. The navy was not up to the standard, but the powerful Indian army could not defeat it.
He had no choice but to explain to the diplomats that he wanted the war to end peacefully.
He agreed to give up the Andaman Islands, but he did not agree to give up the Nicobar Islands.
Let's continue negotiations with Xincheng according to this condition.
The talks between the two sides dragged on for a week without any results.
The differences between the two sides were so great that Wang Ze organized a high-level meeting of Xincheng.
At the meeting, Wang Ze asked the navy to take action to bombard Indian coastal cities.
Wang Jixin was somewhat opposed to this idea. He thought that directly bombarding the city would cause too many civilian casualties and public opinion in various countries would be unfavorable to the new city.
Now New Town has the upper hand in public opinion, and all countries are clearly aware that it was India that occupied the New Town territory first.
Wang Ze thought about it for a while, then said, "Okay, what the Prime Minister said makes sense."
Everyone thought that they would not bombard India, but Wang Ze continued, "The navy should bomb the Indian naval base first. If they still don't surrender, and then bomb the city, then they can't blame us."
Wang Jixin's mouth twitched. What was the difference between doing this and the previous one? It was just a detour, but in the end, they still had to directly bombard the Indian mainland.
"As usual, let's vote." Wang Ze saw that his elder brother still disagreed, so he started to act like a rogue and vote. Anyone who knew with their feet that the result would definitely be in line with Wang Ze's wishes. Now the senior executives of Xincheng are all members of the base and Wang Ze's direct subordinates.
Most of Wang Jixin's people are young people from his family who followed him, but precisely because they are young, the best one they have managed now has only climbed to the position of brigade commander, and there is not even a mayor in the municipal government.
After the voting began, Wang Jixin also raised his hand in agreement.
Wang Ze's idea was passed unanimously, so after the meeting, the military meeting decided to dispatch a battleship to attack.
Another battleship remained in Xincheng to protect the safety of the Xincheng waters.
Wu Wu is now very confident in his vehicle. It was hit by torpedoes and bombs in the previous naval battle but remained unscathed. He feels that such defense is enough even for one ship.
The battleship left Xincheng early the next morning, and the deployment of the battleship immediately caused another wave of turmoil.
Where this ship will go is anyone's guess.
At this time, India asked the Soviet Union to mediate.
Out of respect for the Soviet Union, Wang Jixin participated in the trilateral talks.
Although you can participate, the conditions remain unchanged.
Even if the Indian representative said that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are disputed territories and do not belong to India now, so they cannot be ceded to the new city, it is useless.
Wang Jixin said that if this is the case, then as long as the Indian side agrees, it will be fine. If anyone disagrees, he can come to Xincheng.
The Indian representative was speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Finally, he shut up and looked at the Soviet representative, motioning them to do something.
The trilateral talks still produced no results.
In New Delhi, India, Harald went to the Soviet Embassy to meet with the Soviet ambassador and proposed that the Soviet Union increase its aid to India.
The unsuccessful negotiations in the new city made Harald realize that it would be impossible to get the results he wanted by talking alone.
So they wanted to buy warships and even asked the Soviet Union to directly drive the warships to help them fight this war.
However, Harar could not agree to the Soviet Union's request. The Soviet Union required India to rent a port to them and to station troops in the port.
If India can agree to this condition, the Soviet Union can provide strong support to India.
If there was a garrison port in the Indian Ocean, the Soviet Union's influence on the Middle East and the Suez Canal would be greatly enhanced.
It can also provide strong support for the Soviet Union's southward strategy.
