770th Hungry People's Republic 1. Is there still a monthly pass?
ββ¦β¦ Today is a very special day, 30 years ago today, the Central Committee of the GCD of India issued an important resolution that changed the course of the world revolution and the course of India's war against China - the "Decision on the Commencement of the Rural Communalization Movement in the Territory of the People's Republic of India". So this day is a day to celebrate for workers all over the world and for all Indians. Because the Indian GCD and the Indian people at that time, in the face of the tragic food war launched by Chinese imperialism, did not choose to compromise and give in, but bravely faced and overcame difficulties! Moreover, in the process of overcoming the three-year food crisis, we have found a broad road to the socialization of the rural areas of India by transforming them into poverty and backwardness!
In a sense, we should be grateful to them, to Chang Ruiqing, the chief of imperialist China in Nanjing, and his advisers, if it weren't for the idea that we would not have started the rural communization movement so early if they had not come up with the idea of using the vicious food war to force us to surrender. Nor could we in India complete the socialist transformation so early, so that we could take over the burden of leading the world revolution after the fall of the Soviet Union and become a new source of hope for the world's workers.
Of course, this movement to transform the Indian countryside was on the agenda before we lost the two granaries of Bangladesh and Punjab, and we would have launched it sooner or later without the food war of Chinese imperialism. This is because the land system of land ownership by the cultivator in rural India at that time was still essentially a feudal small-scale peasant economy. Therefore, the efficiency of agricultural production in India is not too high, far inferior to that of the collective farms in the USSR. Even far from the capitalist farms in the United States. So by 1935, this backward small-scale peasant economy could no longer meet the needs of wartime India!
However, before the Chinese imperialists launched the food war, India's food deficit was not large. It can be overcome by guΓ² economy and rational use of food. However, as an agricultural country with the largest arable land area in the world (India does not recognize the Far East, the South Seas, Central Asia, Mongolia, Tibet, Sanjiang and other regions as belonging to China, so in the statistics of the Indian People's Commissariat for Agriculture, China's arable land area is not as large as India's) has not been able to solve the problem of feeding its 350 million people, which is enough to prove how backward the small-scale peasant economy is. Therefore, at the end of 1934, when the grain requisition plan for 1934 was not completed, the Central Committee of India was already considering the socialist transformation of Indian agriculture. And the food war adopted by Chinese imperialism has given us just such an opportunity. - The above is an excerpt from Comrade Charya's memoir "Written Before the Second World Revolution" (aka "The Beginning of the Failed World Revolution").
At the end of September 1935, the warring sides on the Indian subcontinent were deploying forces to prepare for a new round of life-and-death contest. At a time when the Punjab, the breadbasket of India, had not yet fallen, hunger had crept upon the Indian people living in a happy socialist family.
Although the weather in South Asia is still hot in September, the sun shines all over the streets of Delhi. In the eyes of some citizens of Delhi who are not very pure-minded, there is a feeling of coldness. The bombs and leaflets dropped from the sky at two ends in three days were like basins of cold water poured on the heads of the hot-headed Indians, making them a little sober. The drastic reduction in people's livelihood items, especially food rations, has made their lives increasingly difficult. I felt an atmosphere where something bad was going wrong. There are fewer and fewer foods to eat. But there are more and more political movements that toss people. Every time the plane that Chinese came to drop bombs left, a wave of spy arrest campaigns would be set off in Delhi!
It seems that these Chinese planes were brought in by spies lurking in the city of Delhi...... The fighters of the All-India Anti-Counter-Terrorism Committee rampaged through the streets and alleys of Delhi in horse-drawn wagons that specialized in arresting people, and everywhere they were arrested by GCD members and Komsomol members in various neighborhoods. Then there was one frightening public trial after another, accused of either being a spy or a counter-revolutionary, or a rich or bad element. Activists close to those who defend the fighters know that the target has been issued above, according to the standard of 5% of India's population, there will be about 17 million bad guys in the whole of India to be found out! If this number is really implemented, it will be the second 17 million. In the previous Indian revolution. The All-India Anti-Counter-Terrorism Committee is also arresting people according to the standard of 5%!
This 5% arrest target is very easy to achieve, and thousands of years of slaves are now coming. Of course, the blood of the untouchables of India cannot be compared with the Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai class, brainwashed by bushido ideology. All it takes is the Indian Cheka fighters who shout: "You are arrested!" "Those who are captured will definitely wait for the Cheka warriors to be caught, and resist with knives or something, I have never heard of it. I guess it hasn't happened in the entire history of the Indian People's Republic, right?
Just as Comrade Roy, the great leader of India, pointed out, "the class struggle can be grasped as soon as it is grasped," and after several campaigns to arrest spies and suppress counter-revolution, the revolutionary atmosphere in Delhi really rose. In front of the collection point set up on the streets of Delhi to collect folk metal utensils, there are always countless Indians holding various metal items queuing, and no one dares to collect metal objects at home under the order of the leader of Lu Yi! And the faces of the Indians who lined up to pay for the metal items were filled with excitement. From afar, when they see Indian Red Army soldiers or security fighters in military uniforms walking by, they will spontaneously chant revolutionary slogans. Even if these revolutionary fighters were far away, when these Delhi citizens got together and whispered about it, they would say what Comrade Lu Yi liked to listen to -- if Takeda Heng knew about such a situation, he would definitely die of envy.
"Comrades, have you heard, the day before yesterday, our heroic air defense unit shot down eleven Chinese imperialist bombers, and one of them was personally shot down by Comrade Lu Yi with an anti-aircraft machine gun!"
"Not an anti-aircraft machine gun, it was shot down with a rifle! Comrade Lu Yi is really powerful, the Chinese plane flies so high. He didn't escape the bullets fired by Comrade Lu Yi. β
"Needless to say? Comrade Lu Yi is a great man! With him leading us, Chinese imperialism will not grow the tail of a rabbit. β
"yes, it won't last...... Wait until the Chinese imperialists are driven out of Bangladesh. The food supply should be relaxed, right? I haven't had enough in a while. β
"Shut up, you reactionary! Now that the food supply is so abundant, how dare you say that you can't get enough to eat? If you dare to spread such rumors, you must be a spy and a traitor! β
"Yes, he must be a spy who is a traitor, beating him, beating him hard. After the beating, hand him over to the guards, such a person must be severely punished! β
"Down with the spy and traitor, long live the great leader Lu Yi! Banzai! Hooray......"
What a lovely people! There are such people. It would be a great failure to build GCISM in India. However, Comrade Charia, the eldest son of Comrade Lu Yi, who was passing by the Indian people who were arresting spies, was in no mood to look at these lovely people in a car. The successor of the Indian Revolution no longer has the high-spirited and commanding appearance of the past. His face was full of deep exhaustion that could not be concealed, but he was strong enough to cheer up. Chalia is not military-blind. He also attended military school in the Soviet Union for two years. He also served as a regimental staff officer in the Middle East, and he still has military knowledge. Of course, there are some essential problems to be detected in the failures of the Himalayas, Imphal and Bay of Bengal campaigns. Although he was unwilling to accept it in his heart, he still knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Defense Forces far exceeded that of the Indian Red Army! The gap between the two sides is not half a point! Although the failure of those three battles was due to the improper command of Blyukhel, the strong combat effectiveness of the squadron may be the main reason!
For such a failure, for such a reality, the first reaction in the hearts of a fanatical Indian GC fighter like Comrade Carya is that he is unwilling to accept it. Then it was to mobilize more troops to defeat the Chinese. Regain the lost ground in Bangladesh and redeem the defeat. If it really follows the arrangement of Blyukhel. Allowing the Chinese to occupy Bangladesh and prop up the pro-Chinese puppet regime will not only mean that the dream of world revolution will be shattered, but that even the People's Republic of India, which has been liberated and reunited with great difficulty, will be divided into two, and there will never be a day of reunification! Although Carya himself is an atheist, as a member of the former Hindu Brahmin caste, he is well aware of the place of religion in the minds of the Indian people. In the history of India, the question of religion has always been placed above the national question, and it has been the most important thing in India's internal affairs!
Therefore, during this time, Charia personally sat in the General Staff of the Indian Red Army, and together with Pavlov and other comrades, he did everything possible to mobilize troops and send them to the battlefield in northeast India. But all sorts of difficulties were reported to him. The logistics department reported that the losses of the Red Army in the Himalayan Campaign, the Bay of Bengal Campaign, and the Imphal Campaign were too great, and that the Indian Northeast Front had lost almost more than 70 percent of its heavy equipment, as well as thousands of heavy machine guns, hundreds of thousands of rifles, hundreds of thousands of shells of various types, and tens of millions of bullets. The warehouses of the Indian Red Army really did not have such a large reserve of weapons and supplies to replenish the losses of the Northeast Front......
The official in charge of the production of weapons and equipment also said with a sad face that India originally had a certain amount of military production capacity, and there were large arsenals left by the British in Kolkata, in Mumbai, and in Delhi. As early as the Napoleonic Wars, India was an important military production base of the British Empire. However, India's military production has shortcomings, the entire industrial chain is incomplete, and there is a lack of raw material production capacity, especially after the steel production base in Bihar was blown up by the Chinese Air Force, special steel for the production of weapons and equipment could not be supplied. The copper mines in Maranjedkan were also blown to rubble, and there was no supply of refined copper used to make ammunition. Therefore, the production of weapons and ammunition can only be barely maintained by relying on the scavenging of metal materials from the civilian population, which is simply not enough to supply the Indian Red Army, which numbered as many as 6 million.
The Red Army officer in charge of the transport also brought bad news to Charia. More than 50 percent of the weapons and military supplies transported through the GuΓ² Beloch corridor were bombed by Chinese and German aircraft. In September, the materials transported to the warehouses of the Red Army in Delhi were only about 40,000 tons, and the average was less than 150 tons on the head of each Red Army infantry division in India, and it could only last 10 days of fighting at most! Moreover, the railway lines in northeastern and northern India were also damaged by the Chinese bombardment and urgently needed repairs. However, railroad tracks, locomotive parts and other materials cannot be produced in India today. As a result, railway communications between the northeast and north of India may be paralyzed, and the logistical support of the Indian Northeast Front will have to rely only on manpower and animal power.
There was something more troublesome, the People's Commissar of Food of India sued SΓΉ Charya. India is now facing a serious food crisis! Due to the fall of Bangladesh, the traditional grain producing area, India's grain purchase plan in the 1935 year was already doomed to be incomplete! Moreover, a large number of young and middle-aged people in the rural areas joined the Red Army, which also caused a shortage of rural labor, and the area sown in spring in 1935 was more than 15 percent lower than in 1934. In addition, due to the damage caused by the prolonged war, India's light industry has not been able to recover, so it has not been able to provide enough products to exchange food for farmers (uh. The same problem has been encountered in all socialist countries, and India is no exception, if that socialist country has enough light industrial goods to exchange for food. And if there is no shortage of food, then the country must embark on the road of capitalism, because surplus is the greatest characteristic of capitalism). In this context, Indian farmers are not naturally reluctant to diversify their foods. They are even more reluctant to exchange the hard-earned grain for useless paper money. Estimates by the People's Commissariat of Food of India. The grain procurement plan for the 1935 fiscal year may only be 65% fulfilled, so that not only the food supply of India's large and medium-sized cities will have problems, but also the important foreign aid tasks (mainly to aid the countries of the Middle East) and the supply of military food will be in question!
How could the situation suddenly be so bad! Not only are there no weapons and ammunition, but there is even no food? It's ridiculous that India should be without food! Who doesn't know that the cornerstone of the British Empire's world domination is a powerful navy, gold from South Africa, and grain from India? It has only been so long since the victory of the Indian Revolution, and there is no food, and ...... India has not engaged in any collectivization. How can there be a shortage of food?
ββ¦β¦ It's those damned pariahs! It's only been a few days since I turned over, and I actually forgot about the great kindness of the Indian GCD. Dare not sell grain to the government, it is really reactionary! It seems that it is really impossible to collectivize agriculture without it. We must take the grain out of the hands of the peasants, take it away! With food, there will be an army, and with an army, we will be able to fight Chinese to the end, even if there are no bullets, no artillery, no planes, we can fight with bayonets and flesh and blood......"
Comrade Carya was in the back seat of the car, looking out the window at the city covered with revolutionary slogans, and whispered to himself through gritted teeth, his face gloomy and terrifying, as if a devil had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Comrades, we have no way out now, we must adhere to the established strategy for a decisive battle, and we must do everything in our power to support the front and support the Red Army with the strength of the whole country. The People's Republic of India has reached the juncture of the final decisive battle, and if we take a step back, we in India may fall to pieces, and India will also fall into the abyss of protracted division and civil war! β
Charia spoke out loud his opinion, and then looked at the great Indian man Comrade Ruy sitting at the head of the conference table. Lu Yi was expressionless and didn't say a word. At today's enlarged meeting of the GCD in India, Lu Yi did not say a word except to announce the opening of the meeting. It seems that I don't know how to deal with the current difficult situation. Charya's gaze swept over Pavlov, chief of the General Staff of the Indian Red Army, because the People's Commissar for the Defense of Labor of India was concurrently held by Ruyi himself (and Ruyi also served as the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of India), so Pavlov, the general of the Soviet Red Army, was actually the highest-ranking military general in the Indian Red Army. He has always had reservations about the decisive battle in Bengal advocated by Chalia and Apanashchenko, and even after Chalya raised the idea that northeastern India might secede from India, he still did not approve of a decisive battle with the Chinese. However, after Ruy made up his mind to fight a general decisive battle with China in Bangladesh, Pavlov threw himself into the drawing up of the decisive battle plan and preparations for the decisive battle.
Pavlov stood up and said in a low voice: "I completely agree with Comrade Charya, we should use most of our forces in the Bengal region, but in view of the strong strength of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the specific implementation of the Bengal battle should be carried out with great caution and must not be rash. Therefore, I propose that the general policy of the battle in Bengal should be determined as defensive counterattack, with defense as the main thing and counterattack as a supplement. In terms of specific arrangement, I built yì to occupy the north and south compartments, and let go of the middle. It controls the areas north of the Ganges River, west of the Jamuna River, and the mountainous areas of Karkkhand and Odisha. Use the plains of Garkhand and Bihar on the south bank of the Ganges as a preset battlefield. At the same time, it will organize elite forces to infiltrate behind enemy lines in Bangladesh and northern Burma, and strive to disrupt the rear of Chinese imperialism with guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines......"
