Chapter 343 Myanmar Situation

Nehru covered his face with his hands, his heart filled with helplessness and anxiety.

He understands that he must first resolve domestic issues, but if he does so, he may be forced to step down and hand power to the next prime minister.

This is a result he absolutely cannot accept.

Nehru slowly put down his hands that were covering his face, clenched his hands into fists, and paused in the air for a long time, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

Suddenly, he slammed his fists on the table with a loud bang.

The next day, the Indian government issued a stern warning to Myanmar.

They demanded that Myanmar clearly explain why it supported India's separatist armed forces behind the scenes, take responsibility for the impact of the incident and make corresponding compensation.

This sudden warning caught U Ne Win off guard and he was completely confused.

Ne Win was dumbfounded at the time. He could not understand why the blame was inexplicably put on Myanmar.

He had been gloating over India's predicament, but he didn't expect to be dragged into it himself.

Ne Win's first thought was that Nehru had become so shameless that he was willing to find a target to divert domestic doubts and criticisms about his leadership ability.

Ne Win was extremely angry and felt that Nehru was simply being unreasonable.

However, Ne Win also understood that Myanmar was in a weak position facing India.

Although he was indignant, he could only swallow his anger temporarily and did not dare to confront India easily.

After all, the gap in strength is there, and any conflict may cause greater losses to Myanmar.

Ne Win has been having a good time recently.

The construction of the steel plant has made remarkable progress, and many supporting factories have been built one after another, bringing considerable economic benefits to the government.

The most crucial thing is that thanks to the strong support of South China, Ne Win’s position in the country is now quite stable, and almost no one can compete with him.

Ne Win did not want to easily disrupt such a comfortable life. After all, Myanmar was actively promoting various construction plans, and he did not want to see the war break out.

However, Myanmar's good intention to get to the bottom of the incident and launch an investigation was ruthlessly dealt a blow by India's arrogant attitude.

India just threw out one sentence, demanding an explanation, apology and compensation from the Myanmar government.

In response, Myanmar expressed its anger and condemnation towards India through radio, and pointed out that this was entirely a deliberate provocation by the Indian government to divert internal conflicts.

Faced with such unreasonable demands, Myanmar will certainly not compromise.

At the same time, under Nehru's order, the 70,000 Indian troops left in the border area went directly south without any warning and invaded Myanmar's territory!

Faced with India's sudden declaration of war, Ne Win took immediate action.

On the one hand, he severely criticized India for provoking war without reason on the radio; on the other hand, he quickly convened senior military officials, formally declared a state of emergency in the country, and made every effort to deal with this sudden war.

However, India has elite forces stationed on the border and is already in a state of combat, but they are facing the unprepared Burmese border guards.

In just one week, India advanced southwards to the coast as if it were in an empty land, successfully connecting its eastern region with the ocean.

At this time, Myanmar did not even have time to send out its own combat troops.

When India said it was ready for a ceasefire, the Indian government ignored Myanmar's request to withdraw from the occupied land.

India has begun to celebrate the successful punishment of Myanmar and India's great victory. The people are immersed in the joy of victory. The domestic situation that troubled Nehru has been alleviated because of their victory. This also made him feel relieved, knowing that his choice was not wrong. The victory in Myanmar diluted the failure against the mainland. What follows is how to defend the captured territory.

The Indian military was not as naive as the people. After successfully occupying the port, they took quick action and sent a large number of soldiers to land from the sea to increase the number of people in the occupied area.

With the port as a stronghold, India no longer needs to take a detour from the north, which greatly shortens the supply line and troop deployment time.

After Wang Ze and Wang Jixin communicated with each other, Nanhua took the lead in condemning India's behavior of provoking war as despicable and shameful, and urgently convened the ASEAN meeting under the organization of Nanhua.

At the meeting, Wang Jixin said righteously: "India's behavior has in fact become a threat to the South Asian region. Their overbearing and tough attitude is unacceptable to every peace-loving country."

Then he put forward an important proposal that Nanhua would provide weapons support to Burma, while other countries would be responsible for providing other types of supplies.

This proposal was discussed by leaders of various countries and think tanks attending the conference, and finally the resolution was passed.

After all, they only provided some cheap supplies, and the expensive weapons and equipment were provided by Nanhua. They would not offend Nanhua because of these supplies.

After the meeting, Wang Jixin met with U Ne Win in New Town, and the two sides had an in-depth discussion on the specific details of the aid.

After some discussion, Nanhua decided to provide Myanmar with 002 XQ50 rifles, 150 rocket launchers, mm artillery pieces and a large amount of artillery equipment.

However, these aids are not free of charge, but require Myanmar to use its domestic mines as collateral in exchange.

Although Nanhua’s offer did not take advantage of the situation, if Myanmar is unable to repay its debts in the future, it will have no choice but to use minerals to pay off the debts.

For U Ne Win, there was no time to care about too much at this time.

He originally thought it would be free, but now he has to pay. However, Nanhua is willing to provide the goods first and then collect the payment after the war is over, which makes him grit his teeth and accept it.

After all, as long as he could repel the Indian army, he still had hope.

Otherwise, if he can't even keep his position as prime minister, what does it matter to him whether he owes money or not?

The first batch of more than 10,000 people failed to break India's defense at all. On the contrary, the Myanmar army suffered heavy losses. With this batch of supplies, plus the heavy vehicles purchased in Nanhua before, U Ne Win felt that there was still hope of repelling India.
