Chapter 1232: Benefits (I)
The British Empire fell, whether Churchill wanted to admit it or not, but that's an incomparably solid fact. As a declining empire, the first thing you need to do is accept your own decline.
Then, look for the next rising empire. Stick to the empire, while carefully defending its own interests and making sure that it will not turn the rising superpower against it.
Britain is nothing but an empire that has been a great power since the eighteenth century.
For example, they have the ability to judge the situation and hold the **. In the early years, they united with France to suppress Germany, which had risen to power in Europe and was likely to be the dominant one.
The United States, which had gradually become stronger with the help of World War I, was also embraced by Britain regardless of its previous suspicions. Although many people in Britain are not satisfied, their former colonies have been mixed up to the point where they want to hold their **.
But the British Empire eventually made that choice. At the time of the 918 incident, they even went to the United States, France, and Ben to visit, and finally came to China to conduct a so-called "investigation."
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, are we going to take advantage of this opportunity to do something?!" A member of parliament excitedly said to Churchill: "Now, this is our chance to win over this tiger!" ”
"Our interests in India and the Middle East will inevitably require the tiger's help. Should we ...... now"
Before he could speak, he saw Churchill's extremely disdainful eyes. So he stopped talking, and watched Churchill blankly as he waited for his explanation.
"There is a saying in the "Art of War" written by the Chinese thousands of years ago that says: Plan before acting, know and stop, and gain." Churchill explained, both to the stupid parliamentarian.
It is also to warn the other parliamentarians and ministers present that he will always have a clear mind if he does not explain some things. If you don't have a clear mind, it's easy to make a jerk.
There are some bastard things, and it doesn't hurt to do it. But there are some bastard things, and if they are done, they will kill everyone. Take the young man in Sarajevo, for example.
He was very cool to put Franz. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife did their best, but what he brought about was the first all-out war on the planet.
More than 30 countries were forced or voluntarily involved in the war, and more than 30 million troops were killed or wounded. Civilians have died as a result of this, and countless people have died. Gavrillo. Princip, the student brother, lived a few more years, but he didn't know if the people who died because of the war would resent him.
And the student who killed Ferdinand, his country did not become as strong as he hoped. His assassination caused a large-scale war. Although the post-war state was established, widespread chaos ensued.
The frequent changes and the violent struggle of various organizations and forces on a large scale do not bring prosperity and security. What they bring more is war and destruction.
After the First World War, no one can say how much bloody Yugoslavia went through. But what is certain is that during that time there were hardly any locals who could live as safely as the Austro-Hungarian Empire once did......
"We don't know what the Chinese are going to do at first, and we don't know what the Americans are going to do about it. We don't even know what happened to them. In such a situation, do you think we can meddle in this matter?! ”
Churchill looked at the MP and sighed: "What we need now is not a big move but a cautious temptation." Don't forget, some time ago we had a bad relationship with the United States because of the recklessness of MI5......"
"At this time, we should be extremely cautious." After a pause, Churchill said, "Friend the Wehrmacht, we can do it in India." As for this matter, we are mainly tentative and covertly express our support. But don't expose our purpose lightly. ”
New Delhi, India. Nehru has been in a lot of energy lately, as he has seen a lot of India's natural resources being exploited. Many of them used to be abandoned because of the difficult journey.
And now, the Defence Forces that occupied this are starting to build these areas with Indian manpower. The so-called construction is actually the use of a large number of Indian prisoners of war to build railways and roads necessary for transportation.
Very few roads have been built, but a lot of railways have been built. Although a large number of prisoners of war were exhausted to death on the construction site, Nehru was satisfied.
At least India's infrastructure has made great progress. Of course, a plan for compensation to India has not yet been discussed. But there is no doubt that India cannot afford this reparation.
Nehru, however, was optimistic, at least he saw the potential in a particular company. And this company is now exploring and preparing for mining in India.
This company is Uniasia Mining Group, which was established in Switzerland. Nehru believed that the company had absolutely inexplicable ties with all the countries of the allies.
Otherwise, this company would not have been so brazen in starting their mineral exploration in India. And at the same time, all the allies turned a blind eye to this.
"If this continues, all the natural resources of our country will most likely be emptied by them! Nehru, do you see the danger in this?! ”
Gandhi, who couldn't hold his breath, still found Nehru. During this time, Gandhi had been working to bring India to the Defence Forces peacefully.
Especially after the violent bloody incident of Yuben, he saw what happened to those who tried to resist.
It's just an attempt, and it hasn't been launched yet. These people were devastated in a frenzied manner. Heavy artillery, tanks, light and heavy machine guns. It's just a ****.
Although there is no clear information, Gandhi believes that he must have died a lot. He shuddered at the thought of this, once such a situation broke out in India, then what would the IDF do?!
There is no doubt that they will not show mercy to the Indians. For all this time, Gandhi had been persuading the unconvincing rebels.
And the situation of this book also made these forces begin to be afraid. When you know what you might face and what the consequences will be if you fail, everyone will think twice about it.
What is more frightening than verbal threats is violent intimidation, and even more terrifying than violent intimidation is to simply ignore you and bombard the person who does so to scum.
"I see that, but the problem we are facing now is two. First, we don't have any choice, their army is in this country. If we resist, the consequences will be even more serious......"
"Second, what I'm trying to coordinate now is to get them to build more infrastructure for us. It is true that the construction of this infrastructure will bring a lot of casualties, but it is a price that must be paid for India's long-term development......"
Nehru explained to Gandhi: "We are not a victorious country, and we can even say that we are a defeated country now. When we don't have the strength to resist them, then we can only do our best to fight for the interests of the country from their plunder......"
It has to be said that Nehru can indeed be a successful politician in terms of persuasion. At least, Gandhi did not refute his words. He was constantly using data and theories to get Gandhi to work with him.
Nehru knew very well that in the event of a revolt in India, he would be the current interim leader of India who would be the first to be cleaned up.
If he wanted to gain the support of the IDF and continue to lead India after the war, Nehru would have to play his part. The Wehrmacht will not keep an idler.
"India is growing faster than ever before. The construction of infrastructure is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles. Although we have paid a certain price for this development, it is worth it in the long run......"
Nehru constantly analyzed the current situation in India and what could happen in the future. This made Gandhi unwilling to admit that if he made a slight move, it might affect the future development of India.
And even if there are sacrifices now, they are necessary for the sake of India's future development.
"Gandhi went to Nehru again?! It's all right, either for himself or for India. He would have persuaded Gandhi to do our best. ”
Li Zongren received the news that Gandhi had gone to Nehru again in his headquarters, and when he heard the news, he only sneered, and he did not care about this matter.
"Nehru wouldn't tell Gandhi that of course we built these railways for ourselves. As long as India has the interests we need, then India will always be controlled by us at the economic level......"
Li Zongren shrugged his shoulders and said coldly: "'Huanya Mining', this is the interest of all allies. Affecting this interest is tantamount to going to war with all the allies. Not to mention the current situation in India, even if they grow up to become the United States, they will only fail......"
"Of course, we are not going to wage war against India in the open. But it's still easy to get rid of those who are against us......"
At this time, the United Political Axe and the National Defense Force had been deeply influenced by Tu Mengben's way of thinking. In later generations, such proxy wars emerged one after another.
And once the interests of the great powers are affected, then that agent will be killed faster than he can rise. And those small countries that are tragically sandwiched between the big countries and constantly struggle in pain can only be constantly in turmoil.
For example, Iraq, for example, Chechnya. Another example, the Ukraine of later generations. For the sake of their own interests, all parties continue to provoke conflicts and strife in the local area, and they are in the name of ** and **.
But in reality, it was they who killed and injured the locals the most...... (To be continued.) )
