Chapter 930: Weak Enemy
"Leader, Imperial Marshal, we, the Indian MSL Alliance, are preparing to convene a general meeting in Lahore to pass the resolution of Allegiance and Partition, and Her Majesty will be the object of allegiance to all Indian MSLs, and will be the head of the future Pakistani Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt the same time, we will retract the previous Withdrawal and Partition resolution ......"
Talking in London-accented English was Mohammed, the leader of the MSL League of India. Ali. Jinnah. He was suffering from tuberculosis, so he was very emaciated, like a skeleton, but his eyes sparkled with excitement. Because the goal he has been striving for all his life is now about to be realized.
Chancellor Hitler and Chief of the General Staff of the German Empire Hersmann have both nodded and agreed to support the establishment of their own country by the Indian MSL! Although the country still had no way to break free from British control, it was still possible to secure the status of a Dominion.
"Mr. Jinnah," said Hersmann, who had already informed Jinnah of Germany's position in English, while Hitler's interpreter was translating Jinnah's words into German, "before your MSL Union formally becomes a friend of the German Reich, I must inform you of the common position of Germany and Britain on partition: Partition is not based on the will of the Indian MSL, nor is it decided by a majority vote, but by our will." We decided to divide India into two empires, the Empire of India, which would be predominantly inhabited by Hindus, and the Empire of Pakistan, which would be a federal state of many nationalities and religions. MSL is just one of many religions, not all! ”
"I understand that Pakistan is, of course, a federal state with many ethnicities and religions." Jinnah smiled and nodded, "This is also the ideal of the MSL Alliance. ”
The Pakistan of later generations claimed to be a federation, but this federation was not at all the same thing as the greater Pakistan federal empire that Hirschman wanted.
"You may not fully understand," Hirschman shook his head, "that the future Pakistani empire will include a number of highly autonomous kingdoms. In addition to the provinces directly under the central part of the empire, it will also include the kingdoms of Sikh, Bengal, Hyderabad, Jammu and Kashmir, and a number of other principalities and princely states. ”
Clearly, Hersman has in store for the people of Pakistan a confederacy that could easily fall apart rather than a federation that would be easy to unite. The only provinces under the direct jurisdiction of the Pakistani Empire were the former North-West Frontier Province, Sindh Province, western Punjab Province (the eastern part will become the Kingdom of Sikh), and Balochistan Province. Outside of the provinces, there will be 4 large dependent kingdoms and a series of small dependent states. Among the four great kingdoms, the monarchs of the Sikh Kingdom and the Bengal Kingdom will also be concurrently served by the British monarch, and the remaining two kingdoms will be the kings of the original princely monarchs.
Such an arrangement would have kept the unity of the Pakistani empire in favor of the British, and the Pakistani people would face the disintegration of the country once they resolved to get rid of the British.
Hersman looked at Jinnah, whose brows were gradually furrowed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jinnah, the future Pakistani Empire will be a great power, and it will be enough to compete with the Indian Empire in terms of territory, population, and economy. I don't think Pakistan will be the basis for long-term peace and stability on the South Asian subcontinent in the future, right? ”
"You're going to rule India with Pakistan?" Jinnah asked rhetorically.
He saw through at a glance the conspiracy behind Hessman's Great Pakistani Empire - this was to make the strong and the weak seal! Use a big Pakistan to suppress the Indians' desire for independence and the dream of a great power.
At the same time, because Hersman was planning to include Jammu Kashmir (dominated by MSLs) and Hyderabad (a princely state dominated by Hindus) ruled by Hindu princes into Pakistan, the entire province of Bengal, which was divided between Muslims and Hindus, into the Kingdom of Bengal and the Pakistani Empire.
In the future, there will undoubtedly be a future of Hindus in India who will hate the MSL, and it will be difficult to reconcile the contradictions between India and Pakistan...... When the two countries become independent, it is likely that the day of the Great War will begin!
Jinnah looked at the smiling Hersman and asked in a low voice, "Imperial Marshal, what if our MSL Alliance rejects your proposal?" ”
Faced with Jinnah's question, the smile on Hersman's face became even brighter, "Without the help of the MSL coalition, we would not have been able to recover the northwestern lands of India occupied by the Indian Bolshevik Party." Maybe the whole of northwest India will become the territory of the People's Republic of India. ”
Jinnah sighed softly, knowing that there was no way for the MSL coalition to refuse Hersman now, because the northwest of India was their foundation, which was now being "ravaged" by the Soviet Union and the Indian Bolshevik Party.
……
"The MSL alliance will definitely compromise......" In a very plainly furnished room on the second floor of 19 Labram Road, a very thin old man in an Indian homespun dress like a bed sheet sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed, and he spoke weakly.
This person doesn't need to ask, it must be Mahatma Gandhi in the hunger strike that Hersman wants to kill.
Nehru, who was extravagant, and several other Congress revolutionaries who looked as noble as Nehru, and Tata, who had brought Natalie to 19 Rue la Brame, now sat respectfully around Gandhi, as if listening to his teachings.
Gandhi said: "With the help of the MSL coalition, the Germans were able to defeat the Bolshevik Party in northwestern India...... And our career will also suffer a huge setback! This is a test for the people of India and a pain before the birth of the great Indian nation. ”
"Mahatma, what should we do?" One Congress party leader asked, "Are we going to choose a temporary compromise like the MSL coalition?" ”
Gandhi nodded with difficulty, "Compromise is necessary, and the future of non-violent non-cooperation is bright, but the process is bound to be tortuous." We must learn to compromise and be patient, waiting for the enemy's power to weaken before rising to a climax. ”
"Do you want to stop this round of non-cooperation?" Nehru asked.
"Yes." Gandhi smiled bitterly, "We can't cooperate with the Bolshevik Party, then we have to stop the confrontation." ”
"Someone will be upset." Nehru, the president of the Congress party, said worriedly, "Before this campaign was launched, there were people who said we were weak. If this round of movement ends so soon, I'm afraid it ......"
"Then lose some supporters." Gandhi shook his head and said, "We are now on the right path, and we should not change the course because some people do not understand." ”
Gandhi knew very well that he and the Congress Party could not vote for G, and if he voted for G, he would immediately lose most of his supporters, and he would no longer be a significant force in Indian politics.
Nehru frowned, and was about to persuade Gandhi a few more words, when a young cadre of the Congress party suddenly pushed the door in, bowed to Gandhi, and then handed Nehru a note.
Nehru unfolded the note and glanced at it, and his already ugly face suddenly turned iron-blue.
"Mahatma, Jinnah's telegram...... The Germans and the British are ready to split India, they want to form a Pakistani empire, but also the provinces of Bengal, eastern Punjab, Hyderabad and Jammu and Kashmir into the Pakistani empire! ”
"Mahatma, they are going to destroy India!"
"Mahatma, I can't agree!"
"Mahatma, we should fight them to the end!"
Now everyone shouted, and Mahatma Gandhi's originally calm face showed a look of pain.
He immediately guessed what the Germans were thinking, which were trying to win over the MSL coalition and force the Congress party to stir up trouble...... This is to force the Congress Party to the side of the Bolshevik Party!
And once the Congress Party becomes a partner of the Bolshevik Party, the Hindu upper caste class will soon part ways with the Congress Party, and they will become the minions of the Germans and the British in India!
In this way, Yingde pulls MSL with one hand and Hindu high caste with the other, and has strong force of its own...... Their colonial rule in India can be sustained for a long time.
"Mahatma, let's join forces with the Bolsheviks!" A young and vigorous Congress party cadre shouted.
"Shut up!" Gandhi snapped open his closed eyes and glared at the man with a ferocity he had never seen before. "If you want to commit suicide, you can go alone, the whole Indian nation cannot die with you! The USSR has already been defeated by Germany, the Russian Empire has been restored, how can we still join forces with the Bolshevik Party? ”
He only said half of his reasoning, and the other half was that although the Congress Party held high the banner of the abolition of caste, the party's supporters were still high-caste landlords and capitalists in the final analysis...... At least until Congress came to power, it was inseparable from its high-caste supporters.
So Gandhi could have shouted for the abolition of caste (i.e., de jure abolition), but not with the Bolshevik Party, which actually wanted to abolish caste or even divide the land equally.
"So what do we do?" Nehru asked. "Do you want to retract the Brexit resolution?"
"Take it back!" Gandhi nodded without hesitation, "Then we'll leave India for the time being." ”
"Where to go?" Nehru asked again.
"To England." Gandhi said, "You go with me...... We lived in seclusion for a while, waiting for the Bolshevik Party to be finished and then returning to India. ”
Nehru shook his head, "Mahatma, this is too weak, isn't it?" ”
Gandhi smiled, "I am a weak person, and the Indian nation is also a weak nation, but weakness does not mean giving up the struggle. The weakness of my and the Indian nation means a protracted struggle...... This is the essence of non-violent movement! It is also the only way out for India. ”
