Chapter 614: Dividing India

The Big Four gathered in Tehran, as if God was afraid of these powerful figures, and the weather was exceptionally sunny and all the participants seemed elated.

Among the four giants, except for Qiao Yu, who was just in his early fifties, the other three were all in their sixties, especially Roosevelt was still a disabled person, and the long journey tested their bodies greatly, so there was no arrangement for the first night, and everyone rested as much as possible.

Although it was a break, the various tasks were still very intense, especially since each of the heads of state brought a large group of entourage, and they had already begun to communicate and exchange intensively, and did the preliminary work for tomorrow's meeting.

Qiao Yu's residence is a villa of the Pahlavi king, which is extremely luxuriously decorated and very comfortable to live in. According to the schedule, tomorrow morning will be free time, the four giants will meet in twos and twos, and in the afternoon it will be a group meeting, and the first thing Qiao Yu will see is Churchill, the big fat man.

The two of them wanted to discuss the main issue of the naval battle with Germany, and the Indian issue, Qiao Yu kept thinking about how to deal with the stubborn big fat man.

To be sure, Churchill was a very good politician, but he was born at the wrong time, just in the process of the British Empire's prosperity to decline, and he had the intention to kill thieves and was unable to return to heaven.

The general trend is like this, Lao Qiu is the Sun Monkey who was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, don't think about turning the sky! Of course, this cunning and stubborn guy should not be underestimated, and after breakfast the next day, Churchill drove to Qiao Yu's accommodation.

The two of them were dressed in casual clothes, looking very casual, Qiao Yu and Lao Qiu shook hands warmly, Churchill and Qiao Yu also met for the first time, for this Chinese master, Lao Qiu's feelings are very complicated.

Before the outbreak of World War II. It can be said that China is Britain's worst enemy. Officially, Qiao Yu destroyed the colonial order in the Far East step by step. Beginning with the Battle of Northern Burma, then the Hong Kong issue, then North Vietnam and Borneo. Britain and France, the biggest victors of World War I, were ruthlessly swept up by China.

At that time, Lao Qiu was in the British Parliament and strongly advocated a war with China to teach this old empire a lesson. However, the British government at that time had just ended World War I, and was far from getting rid of the shadow of World War I, and did not dare to fight a war in the Far East at all, nor did it have the ability. So I had to give up.

Seeing China becoming stronger in the East day by day, Britain once regarded China as the biggest imaginary enemy, the Kra Canal issue, and the Indian uprising were all provocations that China continued to issue to Britain, especially when China sold the starting point to Germany and helped Germany build up naval aviation.

But Britain's anger was useless, and after losing the opportunity to contain China, Britain was completely unable to suppress this huge ancient oriental country. Just as Britain had no way to suppress the United States in the New World, Britain at this time even feared that China would collude with Germany. Challenge the world order together.

However, with the outbreak of World War II, the close relationship between China and Germany quickly ended, and China became the first country to aid Britain.

It can be said that China was the country that supported Britain the most in the early stage of World War II, especially China sent a large number of anti-submarine forces, which helped Britain a lot and ensured the safety of the Atlantic route, so Lao Qiu loved and hated China and did not dare to offend.

The two of them shook hands for a long time, and suddenly both of them looked at each other and smiled, and there was too much meaning in this smile.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, and the contribution of Britain in this war is known to the whole world, and there is no doubt that you are the best commander of Britain!"

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your compliments, China has also made unparalleled contributions to the just cause of mankind, especially in the Battle of the Ryukyus, defeating the Japanese Combined Fleet and sinking those hateful Japanese to the bottom of the sea, which is definitely a great victory!"

After a few kind words, the two of them came to the special living room and sat down opposite each other.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is China's famous big red robe, harvested from the three mother trees, which in the past only emperors could enjoy, you might as well try it!"

When Churchill heard that it was the imperial tribute of the former emperor, he was also interested, picked up the bowl, took a sip like Qiao Yu, tasted it carefully, and then shook his head: "Mr. President, to be honest, I only feel a bitterness, nothing special!" ”

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is normal, a small drink reflects the great differences between countries, if the world can coexist peacefully, the core issue is respect, only in this way can true peace be achieved!"

"Yes, respect for each other, no matter how big or small, is the cornerstone of post-war international peace, and Mr. Roosevelt and I shared this view. The fascist forces that wantonly annex other countries must be eliminated and completely and cleanly eliminated. Restore international fairness and justice, restore those countries that have perished, any pre-war territorial violence should be limited, I think the four major powers should not seek any land expansion, we are upholding international justice, not becoming another aggressor group! ”

Churchill said sonorously and powerfully, but Qiao Yu saw through his mind at a glance, Lao Qiu's words were completely said to China and the Soviet Union, both of which took advantage of the opportunity of the war to greatly expand their territory, China annexed the South Seas, and Stalin also swallowed the three Baltic states, eastern Poland.

If, according to Churchill, these territories must be abandoned, this is unacceptable to China in any case, Qiao Yu said quietly: "In addition to respecting the sovereignty of various countries, we must also respect the choice of the local people, and give the weak and small nations the right to determine their own destiny." Moreover, China has noticed that many lands were originally colonies, and China resolutely opposes this international order, which has serious shortcomings, and it is fair and reasonable to abandon colonial oppression and give the colonial people the right to make their own decisions. I think that this principle also applies to India, the South Asian subcontinent has a diverse civilization, a large number of races, and the situation is very complicated, and I propose to divide South Asia into a number of autonomous republics! ”

Qiao Yu didn't want to get entangled with Churchill on the issue of international principles, China's territorial expansion was inevitable, and no one could stop it, Qiao Yu pointed the finger at India and directly pointed at Britain's sore spot.

India is more of a geographical term than a country, and after the fall of ancient India, there was hardly any unification here, and the only unification was given by the British. The subcontinent is like an ethnographic museum, with black, white and yellow races, and countless religions, hundreds of millions of gods and languages.

The similarity between the two states of India may be much lower than that of the two European countries, and such a region already has the possibility of splitting, although Qiao Yu is not optimistic about the future of India, and the cancer of the caste system is not eradicated, there is no hope for this country. But it is also very troublesome to put a large country with a large population around it, and India does not even need to launch an attack, as long as its political situation is chaotic and a large number of refugees flee, it is enough to create big problems for China.

Therefore, China's demand for the division of India became inevitable, and the British not only could not continue to occupy the place, but also divided India into countless small pieces, which touched Churchill's sore spot.

His face suddenly became grim: "Mr. President, Britain has suzerainty over India, which is also widely recognized by all countries in the world, and India is a part of Britain, which is beyond doubt. ”

"Yes, but that was in the past, and not so long ago Mr. Gandhi made a statement that he strongly demanded that Britain grant India independent status, and that this devout patriot had already begun a hunger strike, and if he starved to death, it would not be good for Britain!"

Qiao Yu has always maintained great reverence for the independence methods of the Indians, and in history independence was obtained by torturing the enemy and making it unbearable for the enemy, but India was obtained by torturing itself, which is simply unheard of.

It's like holding a knife to your chest, gesturing and threatening: If you don't let me be independent again, I'll kill myself!

It's ironic, but it might be a good idea to face a Britain that is already in serious decline, and Churchill is now very troubled, he does not want to be saddled with the infamy of selling out South Asian lands, but he also knows that this is not something that Britain can control.

"Mr. President, I think it's best to discuss India's future after the war is over, and we need to find a solution that is acceptable to all sides!"

"The Chinese side insists that the Indian problem cannot be dragged on any longer, although the Chandra group has been basically annihilated, but after such a long period of movement, the minds of the Indian society have changed, and the original situation is seriously different, if they point the finger at the British, before the war is over, there is a large-scale national uprising, and then the whole of South Asia will become a powder keg again, how much energy will we have to pay. Therefore, I suggest that Britain can adopt a road map for independent and nation-building in South Asia, which will determine the right to give the people of South Asia peacefully independent and democratic state-building. All regions, nationalities, and religions can form a preparatory committee for the founding of the country to discuss the future of India! ”

Qiao Yu will definitely not let Britain drag the Indian issue until after the war to solve, that will only give the United States and the Soviet Union a chance, they are absolutely willing to support a strong India in the southwest of China to balance China, and China just can't give them this opportunity, and Qiao Yu's roadmap for the establishment of the country is a poisoned dagger, obviously to completely split Indian society and let them fall into civil strife.
