When you are rich, there is Rheinmetall; when you are poor, there is Rheinsteel!

Execute the order?

The commander of the 7th Army grabbed the transfer order in his hand, his fist clenched tighter and tighter, and his whole hand turned completely pale.

He became an official just to get promoted and make money.

When it comes to promotion and making money, the best way is to take kickbacks and make false reports.

Every year, he makes a lot of money in the 7th Army by using the material reserves.

Of course, compared with the beasts in logistics and transportation, he still has a little humanity. Although the stockpiled materials are not the best, they are at least enough for the 7th Army to use in the Jammu area.

However, once these materials reach the plateau and reach Ladakh, they will be beaten back to their original form.

After all, cotton-padded clothes that cannot keep warm should not be called cotton-padded clothes.

Once the army arrives in Ladakh, the extremely cold weather will cause a large number of casualties in the 7th Army. With a large number of casualties, he may be impeached by others, and from the commander of the 7th Army, he will become a sinecure, thus losing the 7th Army, the old hen that lays golden eggs.

The old mother hen of the 7th Army must not be abandoned. Ladakh Leh cannot go by himself, absolutely not!

The shaking hands urged the commander of the 7th Army to make a decision.

After a long time, the shaking of his whole body dissipated, and a calm word came out of his mouth:

"Execute the order!"

The staff officer was about to turn around to make preparations after hearing this, but the commander then said another sentence:

"Follow the normal working hours, and spread the news that we are going to be transferred to Leh."

As soon as this sentence came out, the staff officer who walked to the door suddenly stopped, turned around, and nodded his head to his commander:

"I understand."

More than ten minutes later, orders were issued from the command center and passed to the subordinate departments of the 7th Army.

After receiving the order from the superior, the subordinate departments of the 7th Army began to pack their bags and prepare to set off for Leh, Ladakh.

It's just that the speed is a bit slow.

The news that the 7th Army has taken action and is about to go to Leh was carefully spread by the staff.

And these news, naturally, fell into the hands of six or seven armed factions such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Army of the Holy, and the Jihad Movement, which were active in the Kashmir region.

After repeated confirmation and observation, it was found that the 7th Army was indeed packing its bags and preparing to go to the Ladakh region as the news said, and these six or seven armed factions instantly became active.

As local anti-government armed forces, these people's targets of attack include but are not limited to India, America, Israel, and Pakistan.

Now that there is a chance, we must definitely give these Indians a taste of their own medicine.

So, on the way of the 7th Army, armed factions of all sizes, with or without names, all launched attacks on this army.

From car bombs to cold guns.

In short, we just want to give these people a taste of their own medicine.

Under the successive attacks of these people, the performance of the 7th Army was also very strange. They did not launch a counterattack, but quickly abandoned their armor and ran away, running all the time, running towards the direction of Leh, Ladakh.

But after throwing away their armor and helmets, the team's car was gone.

The advancing team only had two legs left.

The speed of running dropped sharply.

On the second day of departure, 70 kilometers away from the camp, the commander of the 7th Army sent a report to New Delhi:

"Although the anti-government armed forces in Jammu are rampant, the 7th Army guarantees that even if they walk or crawl with their own feet, they will crawl to Ladakh to ensure the completion of the military exercise."

…………

In New Delhi, after receiving the report from the 7th Army, a group of people in the Ministry of Defense were furious, but in addition to being angry, these people were reviewing why they had formulated such a military exercise plan with so many mistakes and omissions that made them laugh.

The 7th Army is India's army used to suppress the anti-government armed forces in the Kashmir region. If this army is transferred to Leh, Ladakh, wouldn't it give these anti-government armed forces a chance to breathe?

No, these people have to be transferred back.

Soon, the transfer order for the 7th Army was issued from the Ministry of Defense and passed along the telephone line to the 7th Army.

Leaving aside the 7th Army, the map of the military exercise was directly empty for more than half.

Looking at the blank western Ladakh region, a group of people from the Ministry of Defense set their sights on Pathankot.

There is an infantry brigade here.

This infantry brigade was not in the exercise plan, but now something unexpected has happened, so it is entirely possible to let this brigade go north along the southern foot of the Himalayas, and then turn around in the Jammu area to replace the original 7th Army.

Interweaving along the route of Twars, Dras, and Kargil, and finally arriving in Leh, although it has taken a long detour, the final exercise plan will be exactly the same as the initial exercise plan.

So, these officials clapped their hands and issued orders to the infantry brigade stationed in Pathankot.

Asking the other party to advance along the predetermined route.

After filling this sudden gap, a group of officials from the Ministry of Defense finally breathed a sigh of relief. If a good plan is missing a hole because of the attack of some anti-government armed forces, it would be too meaningless.

After filling this gap, the group turned around and focused their attention on the 17th Army and the 1st Army.

After three days of delay, the 17th Army finally left West Bengal.

As for the 1st Army, they actually... just reached Panipat.

You know, the straight-line distance from Mathura to Panipat is only 230 kilometers. Counting the roads along the way, it will not exceed 300 kilometers.

And this group of people, this group of Indian ace troops, took three days and didn't even cover 300 kilometers. This is simply...

What a beast!

"Give an order to the 1st Army to speed up immediately. It must reach Leh in Ladakh within two days. If not, they will be questioned."

"I think you'd better take back this order, because the 1st Army is the face of India. If there is a problem with the 1st Army in this operation, it will be a slap in our own face. You have to think carefully."

"But so far, three days, three full days have passed, and these people haven't even completed 300 kilometers. Are we not going to continue the exercise?"

"Are we going to end up in a tailspin in this exercise?"

"Actually, there is a remedy, which is to pull out the mountain brigade stationed in Manali to ensure the passage, let the mountain brigade quickly maneuver to Leh, Ladakh, and finally change the flag they fly to the third 1 Army."

"Okay, let's do it!"

After more than half an hour of revising the plan, a brand new order was issued to Manali.

Manali is located 420 kilometers north of New Delhi.

Located 330 kilometers north of Barneybird.

It is a 30-kilometer-long valley. Snow water from the Himalayas and warm and humid air currents from the Indian Ocean converge here, making this valley lush and lush, like a paradise on earth.

In addition to being a traditional farming area, it is also the gateway to Ladakh. After climbing over the snow-capped mountains in the north, you can follow the road all the way north and finally reach Leh, Ladakh.

The military camp at the end of the valley is the home of the 11th Army Group, the 2nd Division, and the 3rd Brigade.

Although the 3rd Brigade is called the Mountain Brigade in name, in fact, their job is to ensure the smooth flow of the route from Manali to Dandi and then to Leh in Ladakh.

Commonly known as Tumu Shengzi.

Occasionally, they would also act as a material transport unit and help transport materials. Therefore, when this group of people who were most familiar with this mountain received an order to go to Leh City in Ladakh when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, A group of people are confused.

In the camp, the chief, deputy brigade commander, and staff officers of the 3rd Brigade gathered together and were looking at this transfer order in a daze.

After a while, Brigadier Lagal spoke first: "Is this definitely a mistake?"

Chief of Staff Rohru shook his head, pointed to several points on the map, and responded: "No."

"A few days ago, the news we received was to ensure the passage of the 1st Army. However, according to the information I obtained, it took our 1st Army three days to maneuver from Mathura to Banipat, which is 100 meters away from us. There’s still nearly 400 kilometers to go.”

"Then the 7th Army Group was attacked by local anti-government forces as soon as they left the station, and they walked back."

"Then the 17th Army, they seemed to have just entered Jharkhand."

"In other words, these people have seriously delayed the progress. Now, the officials who have formulated the exercise plan need a force to quickly reinforce the city of Leh in Ladakh."

"In this way, the exercise they launched at this time will not end in vain."

"And we become the ones wiping their butts."

Listening to Rohru's words, the eyes of the remaining people flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

However, just when they were about to ask, Chief of Staff Rohru slid his fingers to Ladakh Leh and said with a smile:

"In fact, we can also use this opportunity to seek a glimmer of opportunity for our future."

This sentence instantly attracted the attention of several other people. Under the gaze of these people, Rohru tapped his current station with his hand and explained:

"We can definitely send our troops up there and let them support us to Nadak Leh City, and then we can enjoy the military glory from behind."

"Do you understand?"

After his explanation, Lagar and others nodded, agreeing with his plan.

After several hours of discussion, a combat plan came out from the command center and spread throughout the 3rd Brigade.

Soon, except for the people from the 3rd Brigade Headquarters, all the other personnel went into battle lightly, brought enough supplies, got on the car, and headed all the way towards the snow-capped mountains in the north.

The convoy set out and meandered all the way from an altitude of 2,400 meters. After passing several turns at the bottom of the snow-capped mountains, the altitude reached 2,900 meters.

The leading vehicle reported the snow condition on the road, then started the accelerator and moved forward again, heading towards the road more than 3,000 meters away.

The altitude spans 3,000 meters, and the winding roads in the mountainous area have been completely covered by heavy snow, making it extremely difficult to move forward in the car.

The vehicle stopped and stopped on the road, making the people inside the vehicle dizzy. So the soldiers in the vehicle simply got out of the vehicle, holding steel bars, stepping on the thick snow, and carefully testing the road ahead.

They picked up the steel bars and stabbed them hard into the ground.

As long as there is the feeling of steel bars and stones colliding in front of them, these soldiers will give a thumbs up to the truck behind them to signal them to follow.

The convoy moved forward slowly in the snow, and the sky also slipped away quietly as they moved forward slowly.

Soon, night falls.

Without sunshine, the temperature in the mountainous area, which was already extremely cold, dropped again. In order to avoid being frozen to death outside, the soldiers had a quick dinner, climbed into the car one by one, wrapped themselves tightly, and fell asleep in the car.

In order to avoid the vehicles freezing due to low temperatures, all the cars were left on the road that night, with the engines roaring.

The soldiers slept soundly that night, but no one noticed that the snow on the mountains around them had changed a little bit under the vibration of the vehicles.

Finally, when the dawn was about to arrive, the snow on the surrounding mountains could no longer withstand the vibration and suddenly began to slide.

At first, the sliding movement was not loud.

But as more and more snow participated in the activity, the movement became louder and louder, and the speed became faster and faster.

Soon, the snow, carrying the gravel on the top of the mountain, rushed down from the top of the mountain like a torrent, washing away everything in front of it.

Of course, these vehicles were also included.

…………

"According to the Hindustan Times, a major accident occurred in the 2003 National Defense Security Exercise initiated by the Indian Ministry of Defense in the early hours of this morning."

"A mountain brigade originally stationed in the Manali area received an exercise order and set out according to the order to cross the snow-capped mountains to support the city of Ladakh. When it encountered an avalanche in the snow-capped mountains."

"All 2,743 people participating in the exercise were killed."

Yokosukaka Port, Japan.

Listening to the news from the radio, Dena couldn't help but close his eyes and began to rub his temples hard.

He wanted to complain, but he didn't know how to complain.

In the end, it was summed up in two words.

Stupid.

In Tokyo in November, the weather was already a little cool, and the Himalayas at this time had entered a long winter.

Dena really couldn't imagine that India would start a military exercise at this time, and then send soldiers to advance from the ground along those dilapidated roads.

What else could these people be but idiots?

After turning off the radio, he turned around and looked at the orderly beside him, smiling and asking:

"Was there any international news yesterday?"

The orderly heard this question and quickly opened the folder in his hand. His fingers slid across the folder and finally landed on a message:

"According to the official news of China, they sent a business delegation to Vietnam yesterday to discuss a railway through Vietnam."

"Well... in this news, they also provided a railway standard, which is their domestic standard passenger and freight railway."

This unique news made Dena, who was lying on the sofa, smell something unusual. He stood up from the sofa, reached out to take the document from the orderly, and read it carefully bit by bit.

After reading it, he found that there was no problem with this document.

It seemed normal.
