After the end of a large-scale ground war, it does not mean that the war has ended.

Until the end of June, Chinese soldiers were still fighting in India, dealing with the defeated Indian soldiers who fled to remote areas and refused to surrender.

By July, it was not just the Chinese army that fought on the front line.

At that time, the first Indian Defense Force, formed by the Provisional Central Government, had already possessed combat capabilities and began to carry out combat missions against guerrillas in the northwest region of India. By the end of July, the total strength of the Indian Defense Force had reached 250,000, and it had undertaken most of the combat missions.

Initially, the Indian Defense Forces were mainly equipped with light weapons from the former Indian army.

By the end of 2045, because there was little left in stock ammunition, all of India's military factories were blown up, so China provided a batch of weapons and equipment for the Indian Defense Forces to solve the logistics support problem. From then on, the Indian Defense Forces obtained more advanced weapons and equipment.

That is to say, after the end of the large-scale ground war, the Indian civil war broke out.

Although the civil war was not fierce, it lasted until the end of 2047. In the end, the Indian Defense Force failed to eliminate all the rebels. Instead, it ended the civil war by political compromise, that is, to recognize the political status of the rebels and allow the parties formed by the rebels to participate in political activities.

Perhaps, this is not the best solution, but it is the fastest solution.

After the end of the civil war, India entered a period of rapid development after the war. By the end of 2049, India's war trauma had basically healed.

Of course, these are all later stories.

After the end of the large-scale war, China began to fulfill its promises.

In early July, under the organization of the occupying forces, supervised by representatives sent by France, Germany, Russia and other countries, India held a national election.

According to data released by the Election Supervision Committee, a total of more than 470 million Indians participated in the election, which exceeded half of the total number of voters, and had legal effect. The statistical result is that the "Indian National Baath Party" with the Provisional Central Government as the core won 82% of the votes, won 426 of the 478 seats in the National Parliament, and became the ruling party of the new India.

On July 17, the Indian democratically elected government was officially sworn in.

On the same day, Qi Kaiwei transferred the administrative jurisdiction of the occupied areas to the Indian authorities.

Because India's defense and security forces have not been established, China has not withdrawn its troops from India.

According to Huang Hanlin's commitment, China will withdraw its troops from India and formally transfer its defense power to the Indian authorities after signing the peace treaty.

At that time, peace negotiations were still in progress.

The bilateral issues between China and India are not the key. The new Indian government promised to return the southern Tibet region, and recognized that the southern Tibet region was China's territory. It also agreed to provide China with military bases by lease, including leasing the entire Southern Andaman Island to China for 99 years. The negotiations for bases such as Visakhapatnam, Kochi and other bases went smoothly. The Indian authorities even proposed to sign an alliance treaty with China to provide a legal basis for China to station troops in India and to reduce India's expenditure on national defense and other aspects.

At that time, the biggest problem was between India and Pakistan.

Although during the negotiations, the Indian authorities recognized the legitimacy of the initial public vote, that is, the Kashmir region should determine the right of ownership according to the residents' parliamentarians. To put it bluntly, the Indian authorities recognized that the Kashmir region belonged to Pakistan because when the Indian-Pakistan partition was divided, most of the residents of Kashmir believed in Islam, and the referendum was also incorporated into Pakistan. However, the local tribal leaders believed in Hinduism and chose to incorporate into India, which led to Kashmir becoming an Indian-Parctic disorder, which triggered three India-Pakistan wars. However, in terms of ownership rights in the Kashmir Peninsula, the Indian authorities did not make concessions, insisting that the Kashmir region is a sacred and inviolable territory of India, and Pakistan must withdraw troops from the Kashmir region before India will sign a peace treaty with Pakistan.

Obviously, China does not have much say in this issue.

Or, China is a bit embarrassed on both sides.

As early as the early stage of the war, China made a promise to Pakistan that Pakistan's occupation in the Kashi area was legitimate and supported Pakistan's territorial appeals. However, during the war, China promised to the Indian tribe leaders that it would not split India. If there was a dispute between the southern Tibet and the Kashmir region, it did not belong to India in legal terms, so there was no suspicion of splitting India. Then ceding the Kashi area to Pakistan would have essentially violated India's territorial sovereignty and was splitting India.

More importantly, European countries generally supported India at that time.

Affected by this, Huang Hanlin paid an official visit to Pakistan and India within one month and personally came out to match India and Pakistan.

According to Huang Hanlin's proposal, a national vote was held in the Pakistan-occupied area to decide on the ownership of the Kachi area.

The problem is that this is obviously unfavorable to Pakistan, because the main residents of the Kachi area are Indians and mainly Hinduism, and only about one-third of them believe in Islam. In the national vote, religious beliefs have a great impact, and the result will definitely not be as Pakistan wishes.

The negotiations were delayed, exhausted both sides.

At the end of August, Du Xiaolei proposed during a visit to Islamabad that if Pakistan is willing to accept a referendum, she would guarantee to persuade the Indian authorities to set the Kachi area as a special administrative region and unilaterally open it to Pakistan to ensure the interests of Islamic believers in the region.

Only then did the negotiations turn around.

On September 3, the two sides reached an agreement on the last few issues in New Delhi.

According to Du Xiaolei's proposal, a referendum will be held at the end of September, and the residents of the Kachi area will decide their future. The Indian authorities must promise to grant national autonomy to the region on the premise that the Kachi area remains in India and unilaterally open to Pakistan to ensure the basic power of the Islamists in the region, while Pakistan promises not to seek sovereignty in the Kachi area through any means.

On September 10, representatives from China, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal gathered in New Delhi to sign a peace treaty with representatives of the Indian government.

At this point, the Second Indian Ocean War came to an end.

The next day, China sent an ambassador to India and signed an infrastructure assistance agreement with the Indian Foreign Minister in New Delhi with a total value of 460 billion yuan. The Chinese government provides India with an infrastructure fund of 460 million yuan in the next ten years through free aid, interest-free loans, guaranteed loans, mortgage loans, etc. to help India repair and improve its national infrastructure.

Among these projects, the most important is the railway from the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley to India.

In addition, China will also build three railways through tripartite cooperation to India, as well as three high-grade highways through Nepal to India, and build three trade gates in the Sino-Nepal border area through tripartite cooperation, and Nepal will set up a free trade zone for tariff-free.

It can be said that India's post-war reconstruction work has become a new driving force to stimulate economic development.

That's why India's post-war reconstruction work is by no means a matter for China.

In October, the EU trade negotiating delegation led by France and Germany conducted a high-standard visit to New Delhi under the leadership of the French President and the German Chancellor, and signed a very strategic agreement with the Indian authorities that on the premise that the Indian authorities recognize France and Germany enjoy preferential policies before the war, France and Germany will provide India with 400 billion and 600 billion euros of infrastructure assistance respectively to help India carry out post-war reconstruction.

For the EU, this is not a effort, but a gain, and it can even be said to be a fortune.

You should know that investment in India can create huge profits for European companies, drive domestic economic development, and create tens of thousands of jobs.

Conservatively estimated that an investment of one trillion euros can create at least ten times the gains for Europe.

In addition to economic benefits, there are also political benefits.

Through joint investment in India, the French-German axis's position in the EU has been consolidated, and even raised to a point beyond other European countries.

Not to mention, if other EU member states want to enter India, they have to realize their interests through France and Germany.

Based on this condition, France and Germany will definitely accelerate the process of political integration in the EU and form a European country centered on France and Germany.

In fact, just a few months later, France and Germany proposed a political integration plan at the EU Council.

For other European countries, there is almost no choice. The reason is very simple. If you cannot take the express bus between France and Germany, you will miss this development opportunity and may even become a third-rate country and always lose your voice on the international stage.

In early 2046, Italy took the lead in turning to announce a proposal for European political integration that supports France and Germany.

At this point, the axis of France, Germany and Italy began to take shape.

With France, Germany and Italy as the center, the next thing the EU has to do is to convince other countries one by one through economic means, allowing other countries to form a "Federal Republic of Europe" through the political proposal proposed by France, Germany, and finally form a centralized European government on this basis.

It can be said that this is the basis for Europe to establish a foothold in the future international community.

If the situation of non-unification and independence is maintained, the loose European Union is unable to fight against superpowers at all, and it will not be possible to gain a place in the rapidly changing international community. It can even be said that in a few years, Europe will not only not become an important major power, but will also completely become a consortium of third-rate countries. In the period of a comprehensive confrontation between China and the United States, the loose European Union will not be able to safeguard the fundamental interests of Europe at all.

In a sense, the Second Indian Ocean War was supposed to wake up the Europeans.

Regional powers like India that have a foundation of a great power and are supported by superpowers are fragile in the face of another superpower. Then European countries that do their own things will definitely find it difficult to defend their own interests. Only a unified Europe has enough strength to fight against superpowers, and can defend the fundamental interests of each member, while realizing common interests to realize personal interests.
