On August 10, 1943, in Mumbai, the most developed commercial city of the British Indian Empire, No. 19 Laburamu Road, surrounded by high-end residential buildings, was already crowded with people at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Braving the scorching August sun of India, all gathered here were Indian Ahsan dressed in ugly homespun clothes and slippers - it was not necessarily poor Ahsan who was dressed like this in India at this time, but many of the wealthy, thousand-year-old Brahmins, who were now dressed like this, because homespun slippers symbolized non-violent non-cooperation!

The Ah San, who are gathered around 19 Rabramu Road today, are of course advocates of non-violent non-cooperation. And the reason they gathered here was to go to jail! Accompany their great leader, Mahatma Gandhi, to prison!

Mahatma Gandhi was released in May by order of Governor Mountbatten of India, when Gandhi agreed to discuss "Indian autonomy" with the British.

That is to say, he recognized Queen Elizabeth as the Empress of India, and no longer shouted the slogan "Britain get out" - and did not dare to shout it, because the German Field Marshal Halder led a German expeditionary force of more than 100,000 men to India.

That's the legendary Nazi who kills people without blinking! Mahatma Gandhi's set is okay against the soft-hearted British, but isn't it looking for death against the Nazis?

And...... Mahatma Gandhi heard in the prison that the newly appointed Queen of England was very fierce, and she was nicknamed "Queen of Blood", and brutally suppressed the British Bolsheviks in London, killing rivers of blood, and the captured British Bolsheviks were pulled to Buckingham Palace Square and shelled!

As a result, Congress leaders such as Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru decided to back down for a while, seeking autonomy first and then independence.

But in August, things changed.

First of all, it was the Congress Party who figured out the truth about the "London Rebellion", Queen Elizabeth was not so fierce, the shelling of Buckingham Palace Square was completely false, and the suppression of the British Bolshevik Party was not cruel.

Secondly, it was the Congress party that found that there were not many German troops marching into India, estimated to be less than 100,000. Half of them have not yet entered the subcontinent, but have settled in Ceylon, the Andaman Islands, the Maldives Islands, etc. And the rest of the German troops who actually entered the South Asian subcontinent did not look very fierce, they were strictly disciplined, and they did not commit any crimes against the Indian region, and they seemed to be more reasonable than the original British army.

But what really prompted Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru to raise the banner of struggle again was the emergence of the Indian People's Republic!

The so-called People's Republic of India is actually an Indian state supported by the Soviet Union and with the Indian Bolshevik Party as the main ruling party.

The country is nominally independent, the country of the Indian people themselves!

It seems that it has fulfilled the ideal of the Indian people to be the masters of the country! Therefore, there is great pressure on the National Congress Party, which has been fighting for independence and freedom in India.

If the Indian National Congress Party continues to cooperate with the British, it will lose the politically correct banner of India's independence.

Without this banner, Gandhi or something would just be a bad old man who would only go on a hunger strike in protest.

So Gandhi and Nehru had to re-raise the banner of Indian independence in July '43 and declare non-violent non-cooperation throughout India.

The move drew immediate backlash from the British Indian authorities, and from 1 August, Sikh police loyal to the British appeared around 19 Rabramu Road – a harbinger of Mahatma Gandhi's arrest in India's political rules of the game.

And the Congress Party immediately launched a rebellion with Indian characteristics, not to launch an armed uprising, nor to arrange for Mahatma Gandhi to flee, but to call on supporters to accompany Gandhi to prison! Presumably, he wanted to mobilize tens of thousands or more supporters to go to the prison meals of the British Indian authorities and bankrupt the British.

So from August 2, tens of thousands of Congress supporters gathered around 19 Rue la Bulamo, with their prison luggage, ready to accompany Gandhi to prison dinner.

At the same time, major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata were paralyzed, with workers on strike, businessmen on strike, and students on strike. Even the Hindu officers and soldiers in the Anglo-Indian army were in turmoil, and the situation in India's "British-controlled areas" suddenly became tense again.

"Ludwig, the situation in India is very bad right now, like a big powder keg that can be detonated at any moment."

Reporting to Hersman on the situation in India was the commander of the Indian Front, Franz Brown. Field Marshal Halder, who had been ordered to return to Berlin to report on his duties. He left Delhi on August 3, visited the crowded Laburamu Road in Mumbai on August 4, and arrived in Tsosen, on the outskirts of Berlin, on August 5.

"Can it be suppressed?" Hersman sat behind his desk, asking questions as he flipped through the materials Halder had brought with him. Among the materials he was looking at were scenes of chaotic demonstrations and protests, as well as some of the former Indian National Army units.

The Indian National Army had been raised by the Germans themselves, and had been going to be sent to India to trouble the British. However, I did not expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and India was now a common problem for Germany and Britain -- although these national armies were now integrated into the Anglo-Indian army, they retained the original structure below the regimental level, and were not under the control of British officers, which was very dangerous.

"Suppress whom?" Halder doesn't seem to understand Hersmann's problem. "Is it the National Army?"

"Indian National Congress Party!" Hersman said, "Can you arrest Gandhi and Nehru and execute them?" ”

Artillery execution is a unique way of killing people in India, that is, tying people to the muzzle of a cannon, and then firing the cannon to smash people! First a Mughal tactic, it was later learned by the British colonizers, who executed many Indian rebels by artillery during the Indian uprising of 1857-1859. In the Punjab Rebellion of 1871-1872, another 66 Sikhs were shelled.

However, after the Amritsar massacre, which was caused by non-violent activities, the British colonists gradually became weaker and did not dare to use artillery to kill on a large scale. Moreover, in the aftermath of the Amritsar massacre, the non-violent non-cooperation movement emerged, and the movement against British colonial rule became the growing ground in India. The British rulers also became weaker and weaker, and did not dare to take decisive measures to suppress them.

And Hersmann, who has knowledge of later history, knows very well that it is impossible to maintain British colonial rule in India by compromise and concession, and it is also impossible to maintain the colonial rule of the European Community in Africa!

Cruel means must be taken!

"Shoot Gandhi?" Halder looked at Hersman, "I'm afraid this will cause even more trouble...... This is the opinion of the British. Because Gandhi had countless supporters, he was the leader of the moderate wing of the Indian independence movement. The British believed that it was still possible for the Gandhi and the National Congress Party, which he represented, to cooperate. If we exterminate them, we will face hundreds of millions of angry Indians! ”

Are hundreds of millions of angry Indians really scary?

Hersman smiled contemptuously and said, "There are simply not hundreds of millions of creatures in India that can be called human, there are only a maximum of 20 million people there, and the rest are unworthy pariahs." ”

Halder, who had been in India for a few months, already knew some of the strict hierarchies in India, and he nodded and said, "Ludwig, you are right. The 20 million superior Indians did not treat the inferior people there as human beings at all, but the inferior people there were instigated by the superior people and became cannon fodder against us. ”

"That's the best thing about Mahatma Gandhi!" Hersman chimed in.

Hersman had already spent a great deal of time studying India, and he was essentially a "revolutionary expert" himself, so he was able to uncover something deep.

Before the rise of the non-violent non-cooperation movement, there were a series of revolts in India, but the participation was not widespread, mainly among the upper echelons of India. The main force of the uprising of 1857-1859 was the princely princes and high-caste native soldiers (there must also be a kind of soldier), and the Punjab rebellion of 1871 was mainly provoked by the remnants of the Sikh dynasty. Gandhi, on the other hand, used the non-violent non-cooperation movement to turn the revolt into a national movement.

Because "non-violent activities" have greatly lowered the threshold for rebellion, the conditions of Greater India dictate that serious rebellion is not for everyone.

In India, everything must be planted, and if you don't plant well, you can only be oppressed obediently, and how can you rebel if you serve the good people for generations? Moreover, a serious violent rebellion is to organize an army, and in order to organize an army, someone must be a soldier. And to be a soldier...... That's the work that only Kshatriyas can do! According to Hindu standards, the majority of untouchables were not allowed to join the Indian rebel army at all, and only those who met the caste requirements were allowed to join the army. How many people are there? How can you beat imperialism?

In addition, the revolution with your head don't on your belt can't be done in vain, there is no such reason! After the victory of the revolution, there must be a reward, at least a land share and a change of caste! Anyone who participated in the revolution had to be mentioned to Kshatriya, right?

After this revolution, how many Kshatriyas will India have?

And...... If the rebellion can create the Kshatriya caste, then can there still be a peaceful day in Greater India?

Now that Gandhi and Nehru can incite the untouchables to rebel against the British Empire, can't others "have a kind of Brahmin and Kshatrinine" in the future?

Therefore, the root cause of the non-violent non-cooperation movement is not at all Comrade Gandhi's high spirits, nor is it that Mahatma Gandhi is too weak, but that the national conditions of Greater India are determined. Only by non-violent and non-cooperative can people of all classes and castes in India be united to make trouble with the British colonialists.

If Gandhi had given up non-violence and fought imperialism, Indian society would have been divided! (To be continued.) )
