In October 1962, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru sat at his desk with anxiety written all over his face. He constantly flipped through the latest information sent from the front, showing that our army had captured two positions in a row.

If the Indian army continues to occupy"McMahon Line", which will undoubtedly suffer a strong counterattack from our army.

Nehru gathered the Indian generals to discuss the next step of the invasion, but some of the generals felt that this plan was too risky and advised Nehru to abandon it.

Nehru did not heed the advice of the Indian generals, but was angry at the reminders. He stared at the strategic map, pondered for a long time, and decisively gave everyone the order to attack.

As soon as this sentence came out, it caused two different reactions. Some Indian generals see it as an opportunity to make a difference, while others fear that it could put India in an irreparable predicament.

Nehru himself could not have imagined that this would be the most regrettable decision of his life. Why, then, did Nehru have the courage to provoke our country? How did this aggressive plan end in failure?

India was a British colony for 190 years, and even at the outbreak of the Sino-Indian War, Britain still had enormous influence over India. Therefore, the support of the United Kingdom is a very important card for India.

The Indian high-level officials who once studied in the United Kingdom are known as the "British Gang", and they have studied the methods of aggression, colonization, and class division, and have learned more skillfully than their mentors.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they are acting aggressively against our country.

British support for India is conditional, that is, it must ensure that British interests in India are not affected. India is an extremely important country to the British, and there are even many Britons who see India as their backyard.

Therefore, the British were very much against Indian independence.

Britain's plan for the Sino-Indian conflict began a long time ago. If there is a conflict between China and India, both Britain and India will benefit, regardless of victory or defeat.

Even if India was weakened, this protected British rule to some extent.

Nehru was not just an opportunist who relied on British support, he was a statesman who understood the circumstances in which China found himself at the time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Britain was no longer the 'empire on which the sun never sets'. ”

At that particular time, our country was facing double pressure from the Soviet Union and the United States, as if it were confronting two superpowers at the same time.
