If it weren't for the unprecedented expansion of public opinion, Nehru would not have made dangerous decisions. The problem was that her father was the number one figure in India at the time. Although he was considered a moderate in the entire government, he had to fight for the final outcome.
As a result, he took the blame.
The final result was that the Indian army was completely defeated on the roof of the world, and the initially bellicose voices turned into an opposition force against Nehru, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
Now, nearly ten years later, the same atmosphere has reappeared in India. Indira Gandhi must not repeat the mistakes of Nehru. After Sam Manekshaw left, Indira Gandhi called two important people
The minister came to the Chancellery.
Two important ministers of this government have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the military has not shown the bravery of Indians. In fact, recently, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Defense have been advocating that Sam Manekshaw be removed from his post and replaced with a more senior one.
Brave generals came to lead the military campaign against Pakistan.
"In the first two wars with Pakistan, we did not make this enemy fear India."
Indira Gandhi spoke to two important cabinet ministers and said, "Once East Pakistan becomes independent, it will be a major event that changes the geopolitical structure and is likely to cause dissatisfaction in neighboring countries. This is what we want to strive for, so we have to
Make adequate preparations financially, diplomatically, and militarily. Two ministers, do you agree with this?"
Since the second India-Pakistan War, foreign relations have been the top priority for India. If Pakistan was a country that could easily be defeated, Prime Minister Shastri would not agree to the joint mediation of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union and go to Stockholm and Pakistan.
People shake hands and make peace.
Indira Gandhi now has the same authority as Nehru. This was naturally achieved through struggle, especially the previous confrontations between Deputy Prime Minister Desai. In the end, the Congress party's parliamentary group split. Both sides claimed that
Orthodoxy, after the ruling of the Supreme Court, the Anglo-Gandhi camp is called the ruling wing of the Congress Party, and the Desai camp and the Syndicate camp are called the organizational wing of the Congress Party.
The former adheres to the true spirit of Nehru's reforms and moderate socialism, while the latter flaunts democracy and freedom, opposes personal autocracy, represents the interests of large industry and commerce, and seeks to be close to the Liberal Party and the Indian Awami League.
The issue of the princely states was also an issue that Indira Gandhi was very concerned about. Nehru naturally tried to solve the issue of the princely states, but he only took back the administrative power of the princely states. Hundreds of princes of the princely states could still control their own acre of land.
If you keep your promise, you can also receive insurance benefits from the central government of India.
Of course she hopes to completely solve the problem of feudal states, but the difficulties are the same as those of her father Nehru. She needs a war to gain unprecedented support from the whole country in order to have such prestige.
"The Soviet Union can be fought for. We must strive for limited neutrality on the British side. As for our northern neighbors, nature will help us block their route south. The most important thing is the United States. We must guard against potential hostile actions by the United States. The United States
The navy will not be hindered by snow closing the mountains."
"In many cases, we support Western countries. At this time, the Eastern Bloc criticizes us and says that we are fragile. Likewise, when we support the Soviet Union, or in other words, when we may support more Asian and African bloc countries,
The Western world attacks us."
Indira Gandhi had a sharp vision, "Win over the Soviet Union, be on guard against the British, and be prepared for American intervention. If you fail to do the above three points, the best result will be the direction of the first two wars with Pakistan. If the situation becomes more tense, you cannot
Said that the fiasco of 1962 would not happen again."
"The time is not yet ripe for a large-scale attack, but I personally do not object to some scattered exchanges of fire. We must strive for a good enough diplomatic environment for the country and buy time for the military."
The support of two important cabinet ministers was very important to Indira Gandhi. They explained the attitude of the military and their own thoughts of supporting the military. The two cabinet ministers finally expressed their support for Indira Gandhi.
"Will Indira Gandhi visit London at an appropriate time?" Holding the diplomatic documents handed over by Wick, Alan Wilson regained his composure, temporarily stepped out of enjoying the spring flowers, and flipped through the pages on his own.
He murmured while reading the content, "It seems that India has not yet conquered the Soviet Union. Diplomatic efforts are still not enough, so Indira Gandhi's trip to Europe was launched."
"It may be a good thing for us to be unable to deal with the Soviet Union." Wick was very happy. After all, India is a former British colony, and surrendering to the Soviet Union is definitely not good news.
"This matter is not that simple. The Indians will never forget the defeat in 1962. We and the Americans can't help." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and recalled the diplomatic affairs during the war.
The whole process, what it means to lose its leadership position in the third world, is too general.
When we learned that the war had just broken out, fifty-three countries supported India at the diplomatic level and accused India's enemies.
When the news of India's defeat came, only eighteen countries expressed sympathy for India. It only took a month. How could India accept this? There was almost one less supporting country every day. Even the United Kingdom could not bear it.
India needs the Soviet Union more than Britain and the United States. Britain and the United States do not have ground power to help India contain ground threats. Therefore, it is too early for Wick to be optimistic about this matter.
Alan Wilson still forwarded this document to the Prime Minister. This year is the time when the war between India and Pakistan breaks out, but in fact the biggest thing is the return of a major country to the United Nations. This is a major event worth noting.
This was not a problem for the United Kingdom. At least during Prime Minister Eden's time, Alan Wilson heard similar discussions about a major country changing its pro-Soviet policy, even if it was neutral. The United Kingdom immediately severed diplomatic relations with Scam Island and supported returning to the United Nations.
But in fact, he knows in his heart that the biggest obstacle is the United States. The United Kingdom has to adopt a common stance with the United States. Fortunately, people-to-people exchanges between China and the United States have resumed last year, which can be regarded as a sign. It is estimated that Washington is also discussing how to abandon fraud smoothly.
island.

on, "Alan, you seem to be an expert on the East."
"I don't deny it, dear Prime Minister." Alan Wilson replied very calmly, "After all, this is something everyone in Whitehall knows, so I can't refute it."
"Actually, we have never been hostile to them. From your point of view, what are the benefits of resuming diplomatic relations between the two countries?" Harold Wilson asked.
Alan Wilson took a tactical step back and said thoughtfully, "First of all, it will help lower inflation. This is the first question that comes to my mind."
"Is domestic inflation okay now?" Harold Wilson was a little surprised. Could it be that the statistics handed over to him by Whitehall were false, or that they had been blocked from public opinion?
"The Prime Minister misunderstood. I didn't say that inflation is very high now, but the Federal Reserve has over-issued hundreds of billions of dollars in the international market."
Alan Wilson shrugged, "De Gaulle said that the over-issuance of US dollars allowed the United States to take paper from printing plants in exchange for goods from European countries. Although he was right, considering the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and the pound area, similar things happened
It's just that the scale is not that big, so naturally we can't admit it. If the over-issuance of US dollars is not linked to commodities, the United States will swallow up all the inflation. If I were an American, I would definitely not be willing to do so. It would be better to let the whole world share the inflation.
pressure."
This is nothing new. The UK did this when the world currency was the pound. It’s just that it’s been a long time ago and many countries have forgotten it.
The United States did the same thing when it started the Bretton Woods system, but it was not as big as it was in the 21st century. Of course, the inflation in the United States can be solved in the 21st century.
If you think about it carefully, before and after the oil crisis, the price of oil quadrupled. Didn't the United States absorb the excessive outbreak of the Vietnam War?
In the 21st century, it is estimated that if oil is stabilized at 300 US dollars and is generally accepted by the world, the United States will be able to overcome the difficulties of inflation. The only problem is that American citizens will definitely suffer for a few years. This is to avoid
Can't.
"Alan, are you too pessimistic?" Harold Wilson forced a laugh, and then said, "We have North Sea oil to resist this dollar tide, and we also have the pound area."
"The Prime Minister is absolutely right." Alan Wilson wanted to sing praises to the Prime Minister. Although these preparations had nothing to do with the Wilson in front of him, they were all preparations made by him, the Wilson.
There is also oil from the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, oil from Malaya, and oil pipelines from South Sudan. The UK is well prepared to deal with the oil crisis. Assuming that the UK does not want to be at least one of the countries that takes over the over-issuance of the US dollar, then the over-issuance of the US dollar
The sequelae, why not delay it for two more years?
Oil is only part of this discussion. Alan Wilson basically meant that currency should be linked to commodities. This is also the reason why Britain should help the Bangladeshis in the possible war between India and Pakistan. How to say it?
There are still 60 million people, which can only be used for a few years.
"Speaking of this issue, if it is really unfortunate that India and Pakistan use Bangladesh as a battlefield, I think we can work with the Gulf countries to assist or support Bangladesh after the war." Harold Wilson, as the current Prime Minister, is naturally
Immediately draw inferences from one example, Britain cannot pay for it itself.
"I think there is no problem. What these emirates lack is influence." Alan Wilson seemed to be enlightened, and his face was filled with the Prime Minister's high opinion and approval.
After clocking out, Alan Wilson had other things to do. Her Royal Highness the Princess was not feeling well and she hoped that he could straighten her bones. If she didn't go, she would not support the royal family. He loved the royal family so much that he would definitely go.
