Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Of course, what Kaul is more worried about is that after the Chinese army annihilates this unit, it will be able to completely take over several states in northeastern India.

Now there are more than 20,000 Indian troops gathered in the Tezpur area, and many troops have retreated from the battlefield and are rushing here.

Because they were trying to escape from northeastern India by boat from Tezpur.

But Kaul calculated how long it would take for so many troops to escape.

India doesn't have large transport ships. The current transport ships in the Tezpur region are relatively small, capable of transporting only about 500 people at a time. Even if they can carry more, it won't exceed 1,000.

The bigger problem was that these troops were now like dogs that had lost their homes, and they were in a state of panic. Furthermore, there were too many disorganized troops, and many of them were mixed together, causing chaos throughout the port. Organizing their retreat would take more than a day or two.

But the Chinese army was too fast and Kaul couldn't wait that long.

Kaul looked at Prasad and his expression immediately brightened. He said to Prasad, "The Chinese army has invaded our country on a large scale. I need to return as soon as possible to discuss how to resist the Chinese invasion. Prasad, I leave the Tezpur incident to you. You must bring our troops back intact."

Prasad was completely stunned by Kaur's audacity.

This is something humans can do.

But Prasad was a soldier, and although he despised cowards like Kaul, he could only accept orders. He couldn't just leave so many troops here.

After arranging Prasad to take charge of the retreat,

Kaur immediately took a plane and ran away again.

The troops needed transportation to retreat and more support from the local government, so Prasad went to the Assam Commissioner.

"What about people?"

Prasad looked at the empty government office buildings.

Everyone was confused.

“Where is your commissioner?” Prasad grabbed a staff member who was burning documents.

"gone."

The staff member answered listlessly.

"gone?"

"He ran away. General Kaul said that Assam should be 'scorched earth' against China, leaving nothing for the Chinese. He demanded that we release prisoners from prisons, blow up airports and oil fields, and burn documents and banknotes. But after General Kaul made the call, the commissioner packed up his things and ran away with his family."

Kaul originally wanted to destroy the entire state of Assam. Even if it was destroyed, it could not be left to China.

The Assam Commissioner could not help but ask about the situation on the battlefield. Kaul told him directly that the battlefield was a great defeat and the Chinese army would soon come in. The Chinese airborne troops would be coming soon, so they had to burn Assam quickly.

Kaul's words frightened the Assam Commissioner. After hanging up the phone, he made some brief arrangements and fled with his family.

The Assam Commissioner was frightened and ran away. The senior officials of the Assam region who heard his order were also frightened.

They all fled with their families.

Prasad's face darkened, and he was at a loss for words. The Assam Commissioner was the highest civil official in Assam.

So people got scared away?

No wonder the government agencies were in chaos on the way here. If the top boss ran away, the lower-level officials would surely follow suit.

Prasad couldn't help but scold Kaur for being an idiot.

Why did Nehru and Menon trust Kaul, this idiot, so much?

Even if you like him, you can keep him with high official positions and generous salaries.

Why let this idiot bring disaster to the front line.

Not only can they not fight, but they are also definitely creating chaos in the area. With just a few words scaring off the Assam government officials, how can we proceed with the rest of the work?

If he could, Prasad really wanted to shoot Kaul, the idiot.

"General, let's go too. We can't find the planes now, but we can still find the small ships."

Prasad's lieutenant spoke quietly to Prasad.

Kaur has run away, the Assam Commissioner has also run away, everyone is running away, why should we continue to stay here.

Prasad shook his head and said, "No, if I leave, who will take care of all these retreating troops?"

Prasad's lieutenant sighed.

Prasad is a rare outstanding general in the Indian Army. Before this battle, Prasad had been giving Kaur advice.

He believed that the war could not be fought in this way. He made many appropriate suggestions, but Kaul did not listen at all.

Now that the war is lost, Prasad's previous suggestions were all correct. That means Kaul was wrong, but Kaul is Nehru's confidant and a member of Defense Minister Menon's team.

If he goes back and says a few words, Prasad will be in trouble.

Prasad was about to go back and arrange for the troops to evacuate, but the whole street was in a state of panic. Rumors were even circulating that the Chinese army would gouge out the eyes of anyone they captured and then shoot them.

As a result, everyone ran to the port and tried to escape.

Prasad was furious because government agencies across northeast India were paralyzed and government workers had fled.

The port was packed with people and there was no order at all. Prasad knew that the troops would not be able to escape if things continued like this.

So he prepared to build a new line of defense to block the Chinese army and wait for support from the Indian government.

But when he was preparing, he suddenly received a call from Sen, commander of the Eastern Military Region of India: "Niranjan

Prashad? You've had a miserable time.

Major General Anant Singh Patanya has been ordered to take over your duties."

Then he hung up the phone without giving Prasad any chance to explain.

After returning to New Delhi, Kaul immediately accused Prasad of disobeying orders, resulting in a disastrous defeat at Kejlang and the loss of Tawang. He also failed to hold the Tawang River defense line.

Allowing the Chinese army to cross the Tawang River put both Dejangzong and Bandila in danger.

So Nehru and Menon decided to remove Prasad from his post.

The chaos in the border areas has also led to chaos in New Delhi.

Kaur returned to New Delhi, right in the Indian Lok Sabha

(House of Commons) made a report.

Introduced the current battlefield situation.

There was nothing to hide, as the situation on the battlefield had been reported to New Delhi one after another, and it was impossible to conceal it.

Hearing Kaul's report—the loss of Tawang and Wanong, and the 80,000-man Kachin force now surrounded by China—the parliamentarians fell silent. A moment later, angry questions and reprimands erupted from the opposition benches, escalating into a clamor. The speaker urged the parliamentarians to maintain order, but his voice was drowned out by the shouting and fell on deaf ears.

This war was really unbelievable. Before, everyone thought that India was very powerful and the Indian army was very strong.

There are no rivals around.

Nehru, the Ministry of Defense, and the Army have been promoting how powerful the Indian army is. China will not go to war with India over a border issue. Under India's strong military pressure, China will definitely compromise.

Everyone believed it. That's why they were clamoring to take those places. Everyone from top to bottom supported the Indian army's attack.

But how could this happen?

It has been less than two days since the outbreak of the war, but the Chinese army is advancing bravely and vigorously, while the Indian army is retreating step by step.

The thing most people can't accept is falling from a great height. It's like thinking your score is good enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but it turns out that your score is only good enough to get you into a third-tier university.

This is how the Indian parliamentarians feel now. They originally thought they were the third in the world and that they were the boss except for the United States and the Soviet Union. But after just two days of war,

The Indian army had no power to fight back and was beaten so badly by the Chinese army that they couldn't even tell the directions, completely shattering everyone's dreams.

Or, in other words, it took the Chinese army only two days to strip off the emperor's new clothes from India. India stood naked before the whole world.

How could anyone accept such a disparity? They wouldn't consider it their own fault, their own judgment. They sought a scapegoat, and Nehru was the biggest target. They directly attacked Nehru, holding him solely responsible for the defeat. Without Nehru's blind self-confidence, this would have been impossible.

In the past, when such a commotion arose, Nehru would stand up and drown out the clamor with his sharp, sarcastic tone. Nehru held great prestige in India and could manage Parliament more effectively than the Speaker. The Indian opposition would never have attacked Nehru directly in this way before.

In this chaotic moment, Nehru needed to step forward to stabilize the situation and find a solution. But it was obvious that Nehru was hit too hard and had no idea what to do. He could only sit there in a daze.

Nehru's behavior made others even more dissatisfied, and the criticism against him increased.

The Lok Sabha meeting finally ended and Nehru returned to his office tiredly.

Nehru knew that his current situation was very bad. So that night, he made a radio address to the nation. He wanted to learn from Stalin and Churchill during World War II. Unfortunately, his radio address was

Pushing India into further chaos.

Nehru used to imitate Churchill in his speeches, so his speeches often contained Churchillian-style arrogance. But he no longer had that inclination.

Nehru's voice sounded old and tired during this radio speech. He spoke in a discouraging manner, which also made the listeners feel discouraged.

Nehru said: "What has happened is very serious and has caused us great sorrow. I can understand the feelings of our friends in Assam because all this is happening right at their doorstep. I would like to tell them that we sympathize with them and we will do everything possible to help them."

Nehru's speech made many people in Assam very dissatisfied.

Xxx, Assam is not dead yet. Nehru spoke as if he was going to wear mourning for Assam.

The relationship between Assam and the Indian central government was not very good to begin with. After Nehru said this, Assam gave Nehru the middle finger.

The local powerful factions in Assam cannot just leave like those officials. Their ancestral foundations are here.

So after hearing Nehru's speech, the local powerful factions in Assam immediately united and prepared to negotiate with the Chinese army. They wanted to know what the Chinese army meant.

Whether they want money or land, they want to know the most accurate thoughts of China.

Nehru continued: “We will not be content until the invaders are either withdrawn from India or driven out of India.

We will not accept any conditions they put forward, otherwise they will think that we are intimidated by some setbacks."

Nehru wanted to mobilize the entire Indian nation by resisting the invasion.

The result was a huge negative impact.

Originally, news of the defeat was limited to a small circle, with ordinary people not knowing much about it. However, Nehru's radio address directly informed the entire Indian people that India had suffered a major defeat. Furthermore, it was a major defeat that India had no idea how to resolve, which led Nehru to express such frustration.

Hours after the broadcast, all sorts of rumors began to circulate throughout New Delhi.

The biggest rumor is that the Chinese army is going to attack New Delhi. China is a true socialist country, not a pseudo-socialist country like India.

Rich Indians feel that New Delhi is no longer safe.

So I quickly fled New Delhi with my family. After all, if nothing happened, I could come back.

People tend to follow the crowd. The Indian tycoon may have left New Delhi quietly, but in a city plagued by panic, every move will be magnified.

As a result, someone spread the rumor that the Chinese army was about to enter New Delhi, causing everyone who could escape to flee.
