Chapter 188: Combine work and rest

"Please don't get me wrong, it was the Japanese who did something on the plane. After all, it is understandable that it is to strive for a good treatment after the war. Isn't it just the leader of the rebels who betrayed a colony, in the final analysis, everyone has to think about themselves. ”

Seeing the silence of the Congress, including Nehru, it was Alan Wilson who broke the silence and unraveled the cause of the death of former Congress leader Chandra Bose.

Nehru was silent, remembering his days with Chandra Bose in the Congress Party. The two actually have a lot in common, such as both went to England for further study, and both think that socialism can save India. But compared to Nehru, Chandra Bose was clearly more radical.

During his travels to Europe in the thirties, Bose also studied and wrote the first part of his book, The Struggle in India, which chronicled Chandra Bose's experiences in the independence movement and syndicalism.

Upon his return from Europe, Bose put forward his point of view that "the fight against corruption should be organized on the broadest anti-imperialist front, with the dual goal of winning political freedom and establishing a socialist regime."

Bose was almost elected president of the Commune. He stands for unity and independence at all costs, including the use of all necessary force against internal and external enemies.

It was also the day when Nehru and Chandra Bose began to part ways, Nehru believed that India was not enough to confront Britain in terms of force, India needed time to develop, and it was better for London to maintain a confrontational and cooperative relationship.

Chandra Bose wanted to immediately stage a national uprising to overthrow the British colonizers.

In retrospect, at that time in 1934, Chandra Bose's claim was unrealizable. However, he did not expect Chandra Bose to be so extreme in the end and join the Axis directly.

Now that the Englishman in front of him had learned the cause of Chandra Bose's death, Nehru had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Nehru felt a little sad in his heart, and on the other hand, he was glad that Chandra Bose's fate also showed that his position was correct.

As for the Englishman in front of him from the Congress Party entering the conference room, he began to take a hard line until the mention of Chandra Bose's death, Nehru thought that he was trying to force himself to make concessions.

After the Brussels Conference, Britain and France united with the European colonial powers to return to Asia, the Dutch navy shelled Jakarta, French troops landed from South Vietnam, and Britain and France pressured Thailand to cede the Kra Isthmus.

As well as the reinforcement of Portuguese troops in Goa, and the formation of the Far East Dispatch Army by Spain, all signs indicate that this time the Europeans came together, eliminating all barriers between them and putting all their forces into the suppression of the colonies.

The mention of Chandra Bose being killed by the Japanese is a vague point out that the Axis powers that some colonial rebels were counting on had fallen, not only were they destroyed, but they took the initiative to kill the leaders of the armed forces they had supported in order to escape punishment.

Chandra Bose counted on the Japanese to be killed by the Japanese as a victim to appease the anger of the Allies.

Now when the European imperialist countries come back together, does the Congress still think that it is a time of war? Can threaten the UK?

Alan Wilson didn't expect Nehru to make up so many questions without saying a word, he actually threatened Nehru very bluntly, he didn't expect these politicians to go around so many twists and turns, and he got himself into it.

Although the atmosphere is a little awkward, things still have to be discussed, and after the threat is over, Alan Wilson also said that the current situation is so straightforward, on the one hand, the British Empire and India can win, on the other hand, it can also be a lose-lose, it depends on the choice of the Congress party.

Once the construction begins, demand in British India will lead to a recovery in the UK mainland, which is a win-win situation.

If the Congress Party does not cooperate with the non-violent non-cooperation of the Congress, the British Empire will go to the Muslim League to talk, and the Congress Party is not the only national party in British India.

Moreover, in terms of interests, the Muslim League may work even harder to implement it, and more than half of the people in the Greater Bengal region itself are pacifists, and the mass base is still very good.

The pacifists are only a quarter of the population of British India, but as long as this quarter follows the British, they can also let the big construction plan be carried out, and finally Alan Wilson said nonchalantly, "Whoever let manpower be the least valuable thing in this land, maybe this is life." ”

This? The Congress negotiators looked at each other and must admit that Alan Wilson was right when he said that manpower was the least lacking thing in British India, and even pacifists could mobilize manpower to support the Great Construction.

After all, this is not the post-World War I environment, when Ali Jinnah maintained a close relationship with the Congress Party and rebelled against British colonial rule, but since the parting of ways between the Muslim League and the Congress Party in the thirties, the relationship between the two sides has become increasingly strained. It is no longer possible to be as united as it was after the end of World War I.

The Muslim League is the weakness of the Congress Party, and Nehru also knew this, and asked rhetorically slowly, "I think London should know that the Congress Party is the most powerful party to represent India." ”

"It depends on whether the Congress party is willing to cooperate, and the London government is open to that." Alan Wilson staged another quintessential change of face, and his tone became softened, "Now can we talk about win-win issues?" The British Empire was freed from the negative effects of war, and India could also become a powerful entity. It's not that hard to consider, is it? ”

"Don't refuse such a good intention because of the so-called national sentiment, this is a plan to revitalize the old industrial area of Kolkata involving six million, think about it, the problem of feeding six million people, their future depends on the current attitude of the Congress Party, how many families are behind the six million people, and how many people are in these families?"

If the survey report is correct, there are indeed six million industrial workers in Greater Bengal. I just don't know what the gold content of this worker is?

But in any case, the British India of 1945 was indeed much stronger than the state under the leadership of the national leader, Chang Gong, and it was simply not in the same dimension. It can be said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the warlords could use the little industry, and all the scrap metal was replaced by the artillery party.

Most of the countries controlled by Chang Gong have produced weapons in eight years, which are not as good as those of Yan Laoxi, an inland province, who dares to believe this. Chang Gong should have a common language with Gandhi on some topics, such as turning the whole country into a big village.

However, Nehru was not Gandhi, and he was still considering the construction plan, and glanced at the assistant next to him, who asked knowingly, "We think this is a good thing for the whole of India, but we need to explain it in detail." ”

"No problem." Alan Wilson gently agreed, and asked the secretary of the Governor's Mansion to call in the professionals, who were still lacking in professionalism in this matter, and just made up for the lesson.

Soon the negotiations on the revitalization of the old industrial area of Kolkata began, and the significance of the revitalization of the old industrial area.

First of all, we should consider the significance of the Ganges Delta to the whole of British India, as the mother river of British India, carrying 80% of the population of the subcontinent, and the Ganges Delta as the great estuary of the Ganges, is of great significance.

The Ganges Delta is an impact plain, and the local population density has great potential for development, accounting for a very large share of the entire proportion of British India, and if this advantage is strengthened, it can even drive the economic development of the entire Ganges River Basin.

Kolkata Industrial Zone is the industrial cradle of British India, with strong support capacity in resources, industry, talents, infrastructure, etc., and huge development space and potential. The favorable conditions and obvious advantages along the border and coastal areas are an important economic growth, which plays a pivotal role in the overall development and is of great importance in the construction of British India.

Once the construction of the Kolkata Industrial Zone is carried out smoothly, it can have an impact on the entire Ganges River Basin. The Ganges River basin accounts for the proportion of the population of British India, and the Ganges River is stronger, and India is stronger when the Ganges River is stronger.

"What a learning!" Alan Wilson was equally fascinated by it, where did he find so many words? I didn't forget to say to the Congress party representative opposite, "Now, this is called professionalism." ”

Now that I think about the partition of India and Pakistan, the division of the Ganges Delta from India is really a stroke of genius, which simply blocks the development potential of the entire Ganges River and affects more than half of India's population.

In fact, the situation of India after independence is extremely poor, especially before Bangladesh is independent, almost surrounded by Pakistan, although India's national strength and population are obviously stronger than this old enemy.

"In principle, it's a good plan." Nehru finally took a stand, thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back to talk to the other leaders, and I need some time for others to understand this." ”

"I can give personal assurances that I will never talk to Muslim about this until the Congress Party has not responded." Alan Wilson said very understandingly, "After all, if you can support a majority, who will go to the minority?" ”

The negotiations lasted three hours, and by the time the Congress had left, it was not very clear, and Sir Barron was ready to leave work.

"Oh, my Alan, how are things going?" Sir Barron saw Alan Wilson returning, and asked how the negotiations with the Congress Party were going.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that!" Alan Wilson raised his wrist, and the diamond-encrusted German watch disappeared in a flash.

"Very good workmanship!" Sir Barron commented approvingly.

Alan Wilson took the watch off his wrist and brought it to the other party in Sir Barron's refusal, and said with some reproach, "Time is a very precious thing, Sir Barron, I must criticize you, you must get off work at the end of the day, you have to combine work and rest." ”
