Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 221: A fiercely debated military meeting, India repeatedly violated the border, and the war

He Daming then got into the car that the government had provided for his father-in-law Anqian.

As the car started slowly, it drove straight towards the center of City 49.

After a while, He Daming and An Qian successfully arrived at the Fozhao Tower located at Taiye Lake for a military meeting.

This time, the leaders of the military are basically in place, all of them are commander-level cadres or above, except He Daming, whose position is the lowest.

But a moment later, he saw his good brother, the commander of the 54th Army, Zhong Sheng, also coming slowly from outside the venue.

He Daming waved to him immediately.

"Commander Zhong, this!"

Zhong Sheng was naturally overjoyed to see He Daming was there too, and he quickly walked over to him.

"Deputy Commander He, you are here too."

He Daming nodded.

"Commander Zhong, you see, this time all the leaders and cadres above the command level are here, and there are only two of us, major generals. Don't you feel a little out of place?"

Zhong Sheng seemed to know something. He lowered his voice and whispered in He Yuzhu's ear,

"Daming, I heard that they wanted to send two of our major generals here this time. It seems that there is a problem in the west. Our 54th Army is the closest..."

When He Daming heard Zhong Sheng mention the west, the first thing that came to his mind was the Kingdom of Tianzhu, which was adjacent to Gaoyuan Province.

These bastards have been harassing China's borders repeatedly since the early 50s. From what his eldest brother said, those bastards must have made some big moves recently.

Before He Daming could come to his senses, as more and more people came in, the entire Fozhao Tower began to become extremely lively.

Then, a military leader slowly walked up to the empty podium.

When the leaders who were originally whispering to each other saw this scene, they all straightened up and stopped talking.

After the military leader stood on the podium, he took the lead in delivering an important speech.

"Comrades, the main purpose of this emergency military meeting today is to discuss the issue of India in the southwest."

When He Daming heard the leader on the stage mention India, it meant that his guess was correct.

But what surprised him was that shouldn't the self-defense counterattack between India and New China have started in 62? It's only 55 now. Could it be that early?

But despite what he was thinking, he still listened carefully to the leader's speech on the stage.

"Comrades, the Indian Empire is currently relying on the support of the British and is like a little devil that keeps harassing our border.

You must know that our New China is a great country. How can we allow such villains to get away with it? We have even defeated the arrogant American Empire.

Therefore, I think that India’s behavior of challenging our sovereignty must be sanctioned, and we should send troops to crush their arrogance!

I wonder if anyone here has any different ideas or suggestions. We can discuss them with you.”

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the officers below the stage began to discuss.

Soon, leaders with different ideas stood up and expressed their opinions.

"Everyone, let me interject a few words. I think our New China is now in the early stages of a planned economy, and various reform measures have just started. The higher authorities have also formulated many five-year plans in an attempt to vigorously develop China's agricultural and industrial levels.

I don't think it's appropriate to start a war again at this time.

If the local war between India and China turns into a war between two countries, it will be extremely unfavorable to the current actual situation in China and will be unacceptable to our entire country.

After all, the momentum from the Korean War has not yet completely recovered, and the economic burden caused to a series of issues such as the economy and people's livelihood is still quite heavy.

Moreover, we still have a large number of volunteers stranded in North and South Korea, fearing that the US imperialists will make a comeback. In my opinion, we should just give in during this period of time and pretend that we don’t know about the Indian Empire knocking on our border.”

As soon as the military leader finished speaking, the discussion below the stage became more intense.

The commander of the 54th Army, Zhong Sheng, nudged He Daming with his elbow.

"Daming, what do you think of the speeches made by the leaders above?"

He Daming thought about it and then spoke.

"Brother, to be honest, I think the country of India is just being servile. We can't just indulge them. But we can't have a large-scale conflict with them either, because given the current situation of New China, we can no longer participate in a large-scale war, which will drag down our domestic economy..."

In the stands, there was endless discussion and debate about whether to fight, make peace, or avoid the conflict.

At this time, the main leader spoke up.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet and stop arguing."

Then he looked at He Daming who was sitting at the back.

"Comrade He Daming, come... come... come up to me."

He Daming was stunned when his name was called. He never dreamed that the leader would call him. He could only follow the other party's request and quickly walk towards the stage.

The worst thing is that this was the second time He Daming stood on the high platform of Fozhao Tower. The last time was when he participated in the awarding of titles.

However, the situation this time was different from the last time, because this time there was only one leader beside him, and all the military leaders below the stage turned their eyes to him.

He has now become the most conspicuous presence in the Fozhao Tower. If you say that He Daming is not panicking, that would be a lie. It's like a soldier facing a group of leaders, he would feel somewhat uneasy.

The leader looked at He Daming with interest.

"Comrade He Daming, I have heard that you are resourceful and good at large-scale combat command during the Korean War. I would like to hear your personal opinion on the issue of India that so many of our leaders have just discussed."

When He Daming heard what the main leader said, he was stunned and felt a little flattered for a moment.

"Leader, there are so many commanders and deputy commanders, and I am just a deputy commander. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to speak so freely here?"

When the other party heard He Daming's evasion, his face darkened.

"Comrade He Daming, now is not the time to be modest. I asked you to publish, so you publish. The Chinese Communist Party will not retreat or hesitate at a critical moment."

Originally, He Daming was still concerned about status and identity, but since the main leader said so, it would be a bit ungrateful for him to refuse politely.

When he thought of this, He Daming spoke up.

"Dear leaders, regarding the issue of India that several leaders just discussed.

My idea is that I cannot retreat, I must fight, and I must defeat my opponent at the fastest speed in one go!"

He Daming's words instantly won the favor of the advocates.
