Chapter 427 The Death of Gandhi

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

Alan Wilson thinks that Nehru's proposition is so funny, Britain let British India become independent, the Portuguese will follow suit? Let Britain lay 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 believed that Pakistan would split sooner or later, and Nehru believed that Pakistan would not exist for a long time and would unite with India sooner or later. accept.

The Bengal area was also divided into two because of the partition of India and Pakistan, because of a former assistant to the British Indian Commissioner. The situation in Calcutta is much more complicated than at the same time in history.

As early as after India and Pakistan demarcated the border, the real border was submerged in an astonishingly large sea of ​​blood in an instant. Crazy everywhere! Terror meets terror, death meets death. The fledgling Pakistan was also in chaos. Fighting is raging in the Punjab, North West Frontier and Deraa provinces.

There are nearly a million more Rohingyas, which are several times more tragic than the religious conflicts in Kolkata during the same period in history. After all, the Rohingya who were just forced out by the Burmese do not want to be displaced again.

The problem of the Rohingya is only part of it, and there is another part that should not have caused much trouble. That is Bangladeshi nationalism.

Of course, this is also related to Alan Wilson. Before the withdrawal of the British troops stationed in India, the news about the partition of India and Pakistan is to 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 Widespread, has caused a certain sense of the impact.

This cannot be said to be a mistake. In fact, the first time the British felt the wealth of British India was the impression left by the Bengalis. At a fortune of fifty-eight million pounds, it was 1753.

It is precisely because of the wealth of the Bengal area that Britain is determined to occupy the entire subcontinent and will work hard for this goal in the next hundred years.

Bangladesh has the second largest population in the subcontinent and has an overwhelming advantage in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. It would be a pity not to use it, so before the British withdrew, they began to spread the conspiracy theory that the Partition of India and Pakistan was to disintegrate the Bengalis.

And Calcutta, where Gandhi is currently heading, 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 still kept Calcutta and part of Punjab within the territory of India.

This is where Gandhi is approaching step by step, the Northeast center that has just ended the religious vendetta, the two major sects just keep their hatred in their hearts,

There are also a large number of Bengali nationalists.

The entire northeast of India is like a volcano that has erupted, and it is still in the aftermath. On the one hand is the flame of the sect's vengeance, and on the other is the anxiety of the impending conflict.

Once a large-scale conflict breaks out again, the whole of Calcutta will be reduced to ashes.

Of course, before all this came, Mountbatten had already resigned from the position of governor, finished his work and was ready to return to China for his birthday. This was already planned, and the leaders of India and Pakistan had to face the rest. Bar.

He tried his best when he was in New Delhi, but no one listened to him on both sides. 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 more constructive solutions after the British left. , to solve the problems that have started to erupt.

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

Gandhi pushed the door out and explained his philosophy. He hoped that the two sects would live in harmony. Once the conflict resumed, Calcutta would be destroyed. Sooner or later, a few Hindu youths would leave.

Gandhi declared another hunger strike in Calcutta until the flames of religious warfare were extinguished. Gandhi carried out sixteen hunger strikes, large and small, two of which lasted three weeks. On several occasions, he almost died in hell. Despite his advanced age, it is worth betting his life for the sake of thousands of innocent people.

This time was different. As soon as I started the hunger strike, my body's functions reacted tremendously, my physical strength weakened, my head became dizzy, and at midnight, I couldn't even speak. The news spread quickly through Calcutta like wings, and an anxious crowd came to visit and came 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 with such prestige in the whole of India, but Gandhi should not have thought that this was the last hunger strike in his life.

Religious vendettas have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths from the two major sects. Under such circumstances, Gandhi also used the tricks he used against the British colonial government to deal with India?

It's not that it didn't work, but while many people were deeply moved, there were also a large number of people who resented Gandhi's behavior. They are Indians, not British, and naturally they don't have the scruples of the British.

In the eyes of many Hindus, sectarian conflicts have caused such a large number of deaths, but Gandhi is still calling for peace. People were extremely angry and identified Gandhi as a traitor.

Finally, a law that Alan Wilson is very familiar with appeared in the hearts of these Hindus. Heretics are more hateful than heretics. In the eyes of these people, Gandhi, who himself represents Hinduism, called for peace, and he was more hateful than peace believers.

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

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

His words lost their old 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 person wanted to pretend to be their friend, but now the Hindus call him the number one peace believer, saying that Gandhi is the traitor of the peace believers who broke 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 chatter of an old and worthless man. Hindus feel that they have controlled the situation in the subcontinent and there is no need to pretend to be peaceful.

However, most of the peace believers are still hostile to him as before. I don’t know if Gandhi at this time, has he remembered the scene when British India was still there?

During the era of British India, the high-level members of the Congress Party who followed Gandhi just passed a resolution refusing to give Pakistan its fair share of financial issues. Anyway, Mountbatten has already left, and the British troops stationed in India are also withdrawing. There is no need for them to abide by the previous agreement, not to mention the vendetta that has caused many people to die.

Taking ten thousand steps back, wouldn't it be nice to buy a luxury car if you save this money for a reception?

Two days after Gandhi's hunger strike, Gandhi was praying with people on the lawn outside his residence as usual. When he was addressing the believers, a bomb exploded beside him. People panicked, but Gandhi still went on.

At this time, a strong young man squeezed out from the crowd, pushed away the two girls beside Gandhi, knelt at the feet of the Mahatma, and seemed to pay respect to Gandhi.

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

Papa, accompanied by the sound of a flashing camera shutter, the middle-aged man in a suit put the American Medal of Excellence in Intelligence on Alan Wilson's chest, and he did not forget to say, "Thank you, Mr. Alan, for your support during the war The early warning issued by the United States, our Mr. Allen, also admires you, Mr. Allen, and expresses gratitude to you for your work during the war."

"It's really gratifying to be recognized by the American allies." Allen Wilson was overjoyed and welcomed the American allies who arrived in Newfoundland. Director, de facto head of American intelligence.

"Mr. Allen, you are polite. If we valued the information you provided at that time, the Pearl Harbor incident might not have happened." Hillen Cote, who had just been awarded the Allen Wilson Medal, said with a smile on his face. I would like to express my condolences to the victims of the Hong Kong incident, and 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." Allen Wilson praised sincerely, "I believe that with our British experience and the financial support of the United States, cooperation in the intelligence field will be unfavorable. We are countries with special relations. At this time We also face a common enemy."

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

I really hope you're telling the truth! Hearing what the other party said was obviously a lie, Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, and his eyes fell on Philby. This should be a classic scene, but unfortunately no newspaper dared to report it.
