"Are you finally getting out of here..."

When boarding the last warship and looking at the port of Chennai in the distance, a soldier muttered with some rejoicing.

Although there are many Japanese people in Japan itself, they are proud to occupy India, an ancient civilization with a longer history than Japan. But having lived in India for a long time, the conquerors themselves seemed very uncomfortable.

Although more than one million people die almost every year in later generations because of drinking water sanitation problems, at least in this era, this problem is not particularly serious, after all, Indians in this period just like to throw corpses into the river, but never throw industrial or chemical materials―――――― it is estimated that there will be sanitation problems in later generations, but also because of the garbage thrown too much...

For the Japanese, the real bad thing about India is not the environmental problem, nor the food problem―――――― you can't eat beef or pork in India, which is more or less a torture for the Japanese.

However, it is the hot climate of India that really suffers.

In later generations, there was often news about how many people had died in India due to heat waves, and in this era when there were no air conditioners, or air conditioners were not common, at least they would not equip ordinary Japanese soldiers, it was very difficult for the Japanese...

Therefore, when they learned that they could leave India, many Japanese people were also relieved.

However, the Japanese were also very angry when they were driven away like this.

And to be honest, the Japanese are living in India really well. Although the Japanese cannot, at least, eat pork and beef in front of Indians because of religious issues, there is no problem with women.

India is a religious country, the state religion is Hinduism, and there are many Muslims in Islam, but it is obviously not comparable to Hinduism. As for Buddhism? In India, Buddhism is basically no longer believed.

Yet in such a religious country, there are many shocking things.

For example, Devadhisi...

Devadasi, that is, a large number of charming temple dancers raised by the temple, that is, the god slaves―――――― devadasi, that is, the slave girls of the gods...

In order not to support girls, many daughters of low-caste and poor families are forced to abandon traditional marriages when they reach the age of 10 and are sent to temples by their parents and relatives to dedicate themselves to the gods and perform religious ceremonies and prayers for their villages. After entering puberty, they will be married to the god of the temple through a secret ritual by the temple, and they will have sex with the monks or elders of the temple, and become temple slaves or temple jiji for life. What is even more incredible is that some girls between the ages of 5 and 9 are also married to the temple gods on the night of the full moon, and their shoulders and breasts are branded after the sacrifice, and those who come to the temple to worship can pay for these girls, and this custom still exists even today, and there is a resurgence of the situation.

Another thing to mention is that there are also exists in today's India, and the main force in it is these old and decrepit temple dancers...

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers in India did not need to worry about it at all, they only needed to go to the local temple, pay a little money, and they could enjoy a lot of things...

"Anyway, I'm finally out of here..."

Looking at Chennai as it faded away, the young soldier muttered.

At this time, a companion walked over and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"What? Can't bear the women in the temple? ”。

Hearing what his companion said, the soldier was somewhat embarrassed.

Although when I was in India, the soldiers did not go to the temple, and even a lot of the money on them was donated to the temple, but I still feel very embarrassed to be told by my companions. …,

But at this moment, his companion patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, I've heard that this time we're going to Australia to help the troops there defend..." And I've heard that there are quite a few of them there, and they're white..."

"White people?"

Hearing what his companion said, the soldier also seemed a little excited.

You know, India is a country with a very strict caste system, and generally speaking, they don't come into contact with each other, and this is especially true in this era. Generally speaking, the darker the skin, the lower the caste, and it is obvious that the high caste will never send their children into the temple to make temple ji, so during this time, the Japanese soldiers have enjoyed all the low-caste women who are dark-skinned and on par with blacks, and there is no need to think about the white-skinned...

In the case of fighting both Britain and China, the Japanese needed the support of the local Indians very much, so it was impossible for the Japanese to anger the Indian elites in the region, so naturally there was no chance.

Therefore, when they heard that there were white people, the soldiers naturally became excited.

But...

What they didn't know was that after learning that Ho Zhuguo's plan to encircle and annihilate had failed, the Nationalist government had already implemented a new plan.

At this time, the Nationalist government had occupied the Indochina Peninsula, the Philippines and a considerable part of the South Sea Islands, although because Japan still controlled part of the South Sea Islands, the Wehrmacht could not freely enter and leave the Strait of Malacca, but if it was only a submarine, it would be no problem...

Not to mention the fact that the Wehrmacht's submarines did this a long time ago.

Therefore, on the way to Australia, there were already nearly 100 ocean-going submarines waiting quietly, waiting for the Japanese to send them to their door...

It is certainly not possible to keep all the Japanese at sea with submarines alone, but it is not a problem to do just a few of them, but it is somewhat dangerous to do so.

Because since the breaking of the Battle of Sakhalin, Japan has been researching technology in this area and has made considerable achievements in anti-submarine warfare, so since the start of the war, the Wehrmacht's submarines have not achieved much success, and the losses are not small ...

But even so, it is indeed unreasonable to watch a ship full of Japanese soldiers not act...

"Even if it's just tens of thousands, it's a great achievement!!"

After approving the operation, Chen Shaokuan said.

――――――――――――――――――――

The poor Japanese soldiers did not know how many 'sea demons' existed in their future, let alone how many would sink to the bottom of the sea on the way.

Not long after they withdrew from India, the British, together with the Chinese, began to seize the remaining territories of the Japanese.

It's just that most of them were fought down by He Zhuguo after all, and the mobility of the Wehrmacht was much stronger than that of the British army, so in the end, the British army did not grab too many places.

However, this is not important, the most important thing is that many large cities, including Kolkata and Chennai, have now fallen into the hands of the National Government, but the British also have two cities such as Mumbai and Delhi, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Although Delhi is the capital of India, Kolkata is also the largest city in India.

Moreover, by this time, the Nationalist government had already occupied at least half of India's territory, and it was clear that China had a considerable say in the Indian issue.

Therefore, not long after the Japanese withdrew from India, China and Britain began preliminary negotiations to discuss the future of India―――――― even if the British were unwilling, there was no way, after all, at that time, half of India had already fallen into the hands of the national government. …,

Although the British are a little rigid, they are not stupid, and they know very well that it is impossible to ask the Nationalist government to hand over half of India on the basis of empty words―――――― of course, it can still be said this when negotiating, after all, is it possible to pay back the money at a high price...

But...

"What are you talking about?!"

Hearing Gu Weijun's words, Leo. Emory said in surprise.

Historically, Churchill, as British Prime Minister, did not like Indians, and in 1942 Japanese troops invaded and conquered British Burma, which at the time was the world's largest rice exporter. The following year, a great famine struck Bangladesh (now Bangladesh and West Bengal, India), in which more than 3 million people starved to death. During this time, the British colonial authorities in India were hoarding food. The 49-year-old Bangladeshi female writer Madusri? After seven years of investigation and research, Mukherjee finally discovered that the real "mastermind" of the Great Famine was actually Churchill, the British Prime Minister at the time.

Churchill had a deep complaint to the Secretary of State for Indo-Burmese Affairs, Leo Brown. "I hate Indians, they are a murderous bunch of people with a brutal religion," Emory said. "Churchill had said he wanted to see Indians bombed. He also ridiculed Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of India's independence movement, as a "half-naked liar."

British historian Richard? Toy's new book, Churchill's Empire, also reveals that Churchill lost his temper when Gandhi launched a nonviolent non-cooperation campaign: "[Gandhi] should have been tied hand and foot at the Delhi gates, and then the governor should have trampled him on an elephant." It is not difficult to understand that when the Anglo-Indian officials asked for food aid, he replied: "Why is Gandhi not dead?" ”

Churchill even declared that the Holodomor in Bengal was actually of the Indians' own making, as the Indians "gave birth to a large herd of children like rabbits." On one occasion, after the Prime Minister's rhetoric, Emory was enraged: "I don't see how different his [Churchill's] views are from Hitler's. He wrote in his diary: "On the question of India, I am not sure whether he is sane or not. ”

Leaving aside for the moment whether it is true that Indians "give birth to a large group of children like rabbits―――――― it is actually true, and it seems that India is really close to overtaking China, in terms of population.

Churchill, as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, could not like India, but Leo, as the Minister of State for India and Burma? Emory could not be like Churchill. Leo? Emory could dislike Indians, but he couldn't be like Churchill.

Because in India, there are the interests of the British Empire.

Because of this, when he heard Gu Weijun's words, Leo? Emory was taken aback.

"Is what you just said true?".

When you say that, Leo? Emory's face was filled with anger.

"Of course..."

Looking at Leo? Emory's expression, Gu Weijun chuckled.

"My government thinks that in the past India has always been a geographical term, forcibly united by you British, but in reality? India was originally a place of many states, so my government felt that India should be restored to its original state..."

"But now they are the same !!"

Hearing Gu Weijun say this, Leo? Emory said angrily.

"That's just what you forced..."

Gu Weijun-for-tat...

"But Indians will not agree to this, Indians will definitely not agree that their country is divided..."

"Really?". Gu Weijun smiled and shook his head. "Do Indians really think that?".

If it is the India that has been established for decades in the future, it may be difficult to say, but the current India...

Historically, wasn't present-day India divided into India and Pakistan and Bangladesh? …,

Among them, Bangladesh was originally called East Pakistan, which was established independently after the Indo-Pakistani War, but this country that does not border Pakistan voluntarily joined Pakistan's side when it was called East Pakistan.

Such an outcome could have occurred when the British had stipulated that they could only be divided into two countries. So, what if, in the absence of a provision, states could voluntarily form states?

"Hehehehe..."

Listening to Gu Weijun's laughter, Leo? Emory had clearly thought of that, too.

India's territorial problems are very serious, and even in later generations, it is common to hear rumors of various disturbances. So if the states are really allowed to establish their own states, even Leo? Emory could also think of the consequences of doing so...

"You're doing this to divide India..."

Looking at Gu Weijun's hateful face, Leo? Emory gritted his teeth.

Because there was no one else around, Gu Weijun said calmly.

"That's exactly what we thought..."

India's presence is too much of an eyesore, especially as a country with a considerable territory and a large population, as well as a variety of abundant resources.

The Indochina Peninsula next to it, seriously speaking, is not much worse than India in all aspects, why has China never been suspicious of the Indochina Peninsula? Because the people of Indochina are divided into several countries, they cannot form a force at all, and these countries are still the kind of people who are suspicious of each other and have friction with each other.

This situation is even more reassuring.

India, on the other hand, is a unified South Asian continent that is a real threat to China.

Especially when China already has a long border, it is only natural that this situation is even less desirable. And the character of the Indian is that they are so happy, that kind of arrogance for no reason...

In later generations, in the face of India's own problems, there are many Indians who think that they are world powers, and if they really let India live in unity, they may be seduced by the Americans or Russians one day.

Therefore, the division of India is really an inevitable thing for the national government.

"In any case, the British Empire will never allow India to break up..."

Looking at Gu Weijun, Leo? Emory said angrily.

At this time, he also forgot to ask China to unconditionally give up the occupied areas, but said it directly.

At this time, within the British government, it was not without the rhetoric of abandoning India and allowing India to become independent, but this kind of rhetoric was not mainstream after all, because India was too important to Britain. It was so important that Britain could not give up India, so most of the British government was still inclined to continue to consolidate British rule over India after the war.

So to make the Indian countries independent or something, definitely Leo? Emory couldn't accept it.

Not to mention Leo? Emory is the Minister of India and Burma, and if he really wants these places to become independent, what should he do?

However, in the face of Leo? Emory said angrily, but Gu Weijun just smiled and didn't speak.

In these years, if you really have a loud voice, who can compare to Hitler? But in the end, the fate of His Excellency the Mustachioed Führer didn't end in suicide? It can be seen that in these years, it is useless to be loud, and it is even more useless to be angry.

Don't you see, there will still be the anger of a head of state in the future?

――――――――――――――――――

Leo? It is normal for Emory and Gu Weijun to meet unhappily, if they really meet happily, then there will be a problem.

And wait until Leo? When Emory returned to London and told Churchill all this, he saw Churchill there and suddenly said.

"No wonder, no wonder the Americans would agree to China's entry into India." …,

At this time, Churchill finally understood why the United States would allow China to enter India.

The reason is simple, China has promised not to integrate India directly into China, but to make India one or more independent states, which is why the United States will allow it.

Because even the United States itself does not want India to remain a British colony...

"Your Excellency, do you just listen to the Chinese?"

Looking at Churchill with a calm face, Leo? Emory said loudly from the sidelines.

"Of course not, no matter what, we must not give up India..."

As he said this, Churchill clenched his fists tightly, firming his confidence.

However, in many cases, if you just have faith, there will not be so many unsatisfactory things, not to mention, when the Suez Canal crisis, the two great powers of Britain and France, don't they obediently listen to the words of the two new world hegemons, the United States and the Soviet Union?

So although Churchill's attitude was tough, in the end the British government still compromised, because at this time the Communist government was not only stronger than Britain, but also the US government did not support Britain on this issue, but the most important thing is that the Communist government at this time accounted for half of India.

On the other hand, as the most influential Indian in India, Gandhi also heard rumors about this. Gandhi was well aware that this rumor was most likely true. So Gandhi deliberately took a plane to Beijing, on the other hand, because the British were well aware of Gandhi's influence, so it also opened the door for Gandhi's travel.

It's a pity that although Yan Guang respects Gandhi very much, Gandhi's influence is not enough to influence Yan Guang's decision on the fate of India.

In the conference room in Beijing, India can only accept the fate of being a few countries... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
