v1 Chapter 427: Gandhi's death

The history of Portuguese India is more than 200 years earlier than that of British India. What reason did Britain order the Portuguese to do?

Alan Wilson thought Nehru's claim was so funny that the British made British India independent and the Portuguese were going to do the same? Let the UK knock down the whole world and give it to the Indians.

The whole of Pakistan is divided into two parts, on the east and west sides of India. Mountbatten believes that Pakistan will split sooner or later. Nehru believes that Pakistan will not exist for a long time and will be unified with India sooner or later, but these cannot stop the determined Ali Zhen. satisfied.

The Bangladesh region was also divided into two because of the partition of India and Pakistan, because of a former British Indian Commissioner Assistant. The situation in Kolkata is more complicated than it was at the same time in history.

As early as after India and Pakistan demarcated the border, the real border was instantly submerged in a sea of ​​blood on an astonishing scale. Crazy everywhere! Terror for terror, death for death. The newly created Pakistan was also in chaos. Fighting is raging in Punjab, North West Frontier and Dar'a provinces.

There are also nearly one million more Rohingyas, which is several times more tragic than the religious conflict in Kolkata during the same period in history. After all, the Rohingya, who had just been dared to come out by the Burmese, do not want to be displaced again.

The Rohingya's problem is only part of it, and there's another part that shouldn't have been so surfing. That is Bengali nationalism.

Of course, this is also related to Alan Wilson. Before the withdrawal of the British troops stationed in India, the news that the partition of India and Pakistan would destroy the integrity of the Bangladeshi nation and prevent the richest and most united Bangladesh from becoming the dominant force in India, in the Bangladesh region It has been widely disseminated and has already caused a certain impact.

This can't be called a mistake. In fact, the first time the British felt the wealth of British India was the impression left by the Bengalis. When Bengal was occupied, the treasury of the kingdom that was destroyed by the Governor Clive found a considerable amount of money. At fifty-eight million pounds, it was 1753.

It is precisely because of the wealth of the Bengal region that the British determined to occupy the entire subcontinent and worked hard for this goal in the next hundred years.

Bangladesh is the second most populous in the subcontinent and has an overwhelming dominance in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. It is a pity not to use it, so before the British withdrawal, they began to spread the conspiracy theory that the partition of India and Pakistan is the disintegration of the Bangladeshi people.

And Kolkata, where Gandhi is currently headed, is the center of the vendetta in the northeast after the partition of India and Pakistan.

Because of the overwhelming number of Hindus in the subcontinent, Nehru kept Calcutta and part of Punjab within the Indian territory.

This is where Gandhi is approaching, in the center of the Northeast where religious vendettas have just ended, the two major sects are just keeping their hatred in their hearts, and there are numerous Bengali nationalists.

The entire northeastern part of India is like a volcano that has erupted and is still in the aftermath. On the one hand there is the flame of vengeance of the sect, on the other hand the apprehension of the impending conflict.

Once mass conflict erupts again, the whole of Kolkata will be reduced to ashes.

Of course, before all this came, Mountbatten had already resigned as governor, and he had finished his work and was ready to return to the country for his birthday. This was already planned, and the leaders of India and Pakistan had to deal with the rest. Bar.

When he was in New Delhi, he tried hard, but no one on both sides listened to him. Now that he is gone, everything in the subcontinent has nothing to do with him. Let's see if the Congress Party and the Muslim League have a more constructive approach after the British leave. , to solve the problem that has started to break out.

Gandhi, who arrived in Calcutta, stayed there. In the evening, several Hindu youths stood outside and shouted: "Gandhi, you are a traitor! Protect the Hindus, not the pacifists! Gandhi, go back!"

Gandhi pushed open the door and explained his philosophy. He hoped that the two sects would be in harmony. Once the conflict resurfaced, it would only destroy Calcutta, and sooner or later a few Hindu youths would leave.

Gandhi again declared a hunger strike in Calcutta until the religious wars were extinguished. Gandhi went on sixteen hunger strikes for both large and small, two of which lasted three weeks. A few times, he almost died in Huangquan. Despite his advanced age, it was worth risking his life for the sake of thousands of innocents.

This time was different from usual. At the beginning of the hunger strike, there was a great response to the body's functions. Physical strength declined, and my head was dizzy. At midnight, I couldn't even speak. The news spread like wings in Calcutta, and an anxious crowd came to visit and walked out of the house, all condemning the violence.

It seems that Gandhi once again prevented the sectarian conflict in Calcutta with the spirit of non-violence. He is the only one in India who has such prestige, but Gandhi should not have thought that this is the last hunger strike in his life.

Religious vendetta has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the two major sects. Under such circumstances, Gandhi also used the tactics of dealing with the British colonial government to deal with India?

It's not that it has no effect, but while many people are deeply moved, there are also a large number of people who are disgusted with Gandhi's behavior. They are Indians, not British, and naturally they have no British scruples.

In the eyes of many Hindus, the sectarian conflict has caused such a large number of deaths, but Gandhi is still calling for peace, which is almost a betrayal of Hinduism, and the news that Gandhi once hoped that Jinnah would lead India has been widely spread, making these The people were extremely angry and decided that Gandhi was a traitor.

Finally, a law that Alan Wilson is very familiar with appeared in the hearts of this group of Hindus. Heretics are more hateful than heretics. In the eyes of these people, Gandhi, who himself represents Hinduism, calls for peace, which is more hateful than pacifists.

Not to mention that there are also people who are hostile to Gandhi among the pacifists. His ideas have not been so easy after India's independence, as when British India still existed, it was so touching.

After India's independence, Gandhi's speeches were no longer as popular as when British India existed. On the contrary, because of the suppression of religious conflict, Gandhi heard the slogan of killing Gandhi for the first time during his speech, and it was the Hindus who carried out this cry.

His words lost their former magic, and nonviolence fell apart. Before the partition of India and Pakistan, the Muslim League regarded him as the number one enemy, saying that this scheming man wanted to pretend to be their friend, but now the Hindus call him the number one pacifist, saying that Gandhi was a traitor for the pacifists to break into Hinduism . His name should not have been Mohandas Gandhi, but Muhammad Gandhi.

Now that the country is independent, no one has the patience to listen to the babble of an old and useless man. Hindus feel that the situation in the subcontinent is under control and there is no need to pretend harmony.

And most of the pacifists are still hostile to him as always. I don't know if Gandhi at this time remembered the scene when British India was still alive.

During the British India era, the top leaders of the Congress Party who followed Gandhi had just passed a resolution refusing to give Pakistan its fair share of financial issues. Anyway, Mountbatten had left and the British troops stationed in India were also withdrawing. It is no longer necessary for them to abide by the previous agreement, not to mention that the vendetta has already resulted in the loss of many lives.

Going back 10,000 steps, this batch of money is reserved for holding a cocktail party, isn't it good to buy a luxury car?

Just two days after Gandhi went on a hunger strike, Gandhi was praying with people on the lawn outside his residence as usual, and while he was addressing his followers, a bomb exploded beside him, and people panicked, but Gandhi continued to speak.

At this time, a sturdy young man squeezed out of the crowd, shoved away the two girls beside Gandhi, knelt at the feet of the Mahatma, and seemed to pay his respects to Gandhi.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly straightened up, knocked Manu over with one palm, took out his pistol, and fired three shots in a row at Mahatma's naked chest with the cold muzzle. Two bullets penetrated Gandhi's body and the other penetrated into the lobe of Gandhi's lung. The bright red blood stained Gandhi's white land.

Papa, accompanied by a flash of camera shutter sound, the middle-aged man in a suit put the American Medal of Excellence in Intelligence on Alan Wilson's chest, and did not forget to say, "Thank you, Mr. The warning from the United States, our Mr. Allen, also greatly admires you, Mr. Allen~lightnovelpub.net~ Thank you for your work during the war."

"It's a great pleasure to be recognized by the American allies." Alan Wilson was overjoyed, and expressed his welcome to the American allies who arrived in Newfoundland. As for the other side's mouth, Mr. Allen was Allen Dulles, the American Foreign Affairs Council Director, de facto head of US intelligence.

"Mr. Allen is very kind, if we valued the information you provided at that time, the Pearl Harbor incident might not have happened." Hillen Cotter, who had just awarded the Allen Wilson Medal, said with a smile, "As a navy, I am very interested in Pearl Harbor. To express condolences to the victims of the Hong Kong incident, my current job is to learn from the intelligence agencies of allied countries and promote each other to improve their professionalism.”

"Respected Major General is too modest." Alan Wilson sincerely praised, "I believe that with our British experience and the US financial support, cooperation in the field of intelligence will definitely be unfavorable. We are countries with special relations. At this time facing a common enemy.”

"Mr. Allen is right!" Hillencott nodded in approval. "Guarding the free world requires the joint efforts of the United Kingdom and the United States."

I really hope you're telling the truth! Listening to the other party's obvious lies, Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, and his eyes fell on Philby. This should be a classic picture, but unfortunately no newspaper dared to report it.
