October 20, 1935, Tangshan, Nanjing. High-quality updates are here

At six o'clock in the morning, a convoy of three Chinese Dragon bulletproof sedans galloped into the Tangshan administrative district, which is dotted with the organs of the Great China Federation. Although it was Sunday, it was wartime after all, and many zhèngfǔ departments were on duty 24 hours a day. It is time for the federal officials on the night shift to leave work and the federal clerks on the morning shift to work. Therefore, the streets of the Tangshan administrative district are full of people, and there are quite a few armed military police patrolling -- it seems that the center of power of the Great China Federation is still very heavily guarded. But what surprised him the most was that at the door of the Federal Chancellery and Chang Ruiqing's official residence, there were still people holding signs protesting something!

And there were quite a few protesters, crowding the square outside the Prime Minister's Office, and there were thousands of people! However, the order at the scene was very good, and hundreds of gendarmes carrying shields and jǐng sticks formed a human wall outside the prime minister's palace and Chang Ruiqing's official residence to prevent the protesting crowd from getting too close. The protesters also made way for people and vehicles to enter and exit the prime minister's office and Chang Ruiqing's official residence. "How can anyone protest here? What are they protesting for? Jinnah was puzzled, as he was under the impression that Chang Ruiqing zhèngfǔ had extremely high approval ratings in China, and it seemed that no one should protest at the Prime Minister's Office and in front of Chang Ruiqing's house.

"Mr. Jinnah, that's a protest organized by the Dúlìzìyóu League in Indochina." Just as he was wondering, Zeng Qi, the federal minister of commerce who went to the airport to pick him up, explained in English with a smile: "This organization was established after the last federal election, and its main members are the original Indochina GCD, the Deqin Party (My Burmese Association), and some celebrity politicians from Siam and Malaya. Their political program was to achieve the secession of Vietnam, Burma, Siam, Malaya and other places from the Great Chinese Federation. ”

"What?" Jinnah looked at Zeng Qi with some surprise. "Mr. Zeng, they want to split the Great China Federation! God, why don't you arrest them all? ”

"Arrested? Why? Zeng Qi smiled and shrugged. "According to the Constitution of the Federation of Greater China, all federal subjects can choose to break away from the federation and achieve dúlì. Of course, it requires more than two-thirds of the votes of the Senate and the Legislative Yuan of the constituent entities of the federation, and a referendum of the constituents of the federation is required to achieve the dúlì. ”

Is this really possible? Of course, Jinnah has read the Constitution of the Federation of Greater China and can even recite it. However, he never thought that all the provisions written in this constitution could really be implemented, especially the one on the question of the subject of the federation! If these terms are true, then is there really a slight possibility that Vietnam, Burma, Siam, Malaya and other places will break away from the federation and achieve dúlì?

A glimmer of possibility! It dawned on Jinnah.

The key to this is probably this "trace"? At present, the political arena of the Federation of Greater China is dominated by the four major political parties, namely the GCD, the Kuomintang, the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association, and the National Socialist Workers' Party. The rest of the small parties have little room to survive, as most politicians in Vietnam, Myanmar, Siam, and Malaya have joined the four parties. How much political territory can this Indochina dúlìzìyóu alliance have?

Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zeng." High quality update that Indochina dúlìzìyóu alliance organization is a legal political party of the Federation of Greater China? ”

"It is a legal political party, but it does not have a single seat in the federal Zhōngyāng Parliament, and the seats in the Parliaments of the Republic of Indochina, the Republic of Myanmar, the Kingdom of Siam and the Republic of Malay are very limited, all of which do not exceed 5%. Basically no influence. They sent people to Nanjing to march and protest, probably the only means of sustaining the struggle. However, such means of struggle are completely legitimate, and this is their right as citizens of the Federation of Great China. ”

"Power? Do citizens of the Federation of Great China have the right to secession of the Union? Jinnah frowned and thought, "If the Indians could vote to secede from the British Empire, where would there be such a mess...... But can the Chinese really maintain their federation for a long time? And will India be able to implement a similar system in the future? Is it possible for Hinduism and Muslin to live in a greater Indian federation? ”

Zeng Qi saw that he was stunned and smiled slightly: "Mr. Jinnah, the foundation of our Great China Federation is that the subjects of the Federation have common interests and common culture, not the force of the Bundeswehr. Therefore, we have no intention of incorporating Msling India and the Arab Empire into the Federation, and although we have common interests with Msling India and the Arab Empire, we do not have a common culture. If forcibly formed a state. Even relying on the strong armed forces of the Bundeswehr is not a long-term solution. So there will only be allies between China and Minsling, India, the Arab Empire. ”

"Yes, we at the Indian Inslin Union are very grateful for your country's help. China and India will be friends forever. At this point, Jinnah suddenly thought of something, and the two gray eyebrows were twisted together again. Why did Zeng Qi say this to himself? Is it to show that China has no ambitions to annex India, so as to reassure itself? Just kidding, everyone knows that China has no ambitions for India, they do not engage in colonization like the Western powers, but directly annex and become part of the federation, and the citizens of the merged federal subjects also enjoy the same benefits and treatment as citizens of other parts of the Greater China Federation. If India were to be incorporated into the Commonwealth of Greater China, wouldn't that mean that all 350 million Indians would become Chinese? How much money will the Federation of Great China spend to help India heal the wounds of war? And the votes of 350 million Indians will eventually change the existing political map of the Federation of Greater China! Chinese politicians are not stupid, how can they let India's politicians share their power?

At this time, Jinnah's car had already driven into the garden of the Prime Minister's Palace and stopped at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Building. "The Chancellery has arrived, Mr. Jinnah, please come with me." The door was pulled open, and Zeng Qi interrupted Jinnah's thoughts with a smile and invited him into the Prime Minister's Building.

When the two of them came to the corridor in front of the prime minister's office, Chang Ruiqing was already waiting at the door. Jinnah will soon be the head of a sovereign state, and this is still to be said. Chang Ruiqing took a few steps forward and shook Jinnah's thin palm. In English, he said, "Mr. Jinnah, welcome to Nanjing. Then he invited Jinnah into his private living room, and asked Gao Xiaowen and Chen Xinrui to bring Niu nǎi and breakfast. High quality update right on the plane that Jinnah was on last night. By now, it is a grain of rice, and I have long been hungry, and I don't care whether the food of the Chinese Prime Minister's Office is halal or not, I can eat it as soon as I pick it up. Chang Ruiqing's adjutant Chen Xinrui took the opportunity to tell Jinnah the general outline of the battlefields in northwest and northeast India. When Jinnah heard that the squadron might soon capture Delhi, his face showed a look of surprise that he couldn't hide, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Chang Ruiqing knew what Jinnah's eyes meant, and India's counter-revolutionary cause looked like it was about to win. So now there are two issues in front of the Jinnah and M's String Alliance. One is who will be the future boss of India. Is it the Ms Lam coalition or the alien Allah party of Central Asia? Second, after all, Hindus make up the majority of India's population, so what should their position be in the future Indian state? Or to be more precise, what kind of government should India have in the future?

It is a mínzhǔ constitutional. Or insist on the Musling dictatorship?

If it is a constitutional government, then the Hindu Congress Party will definitely return to Indian politics from Ceylon, relying on the numerical superiority of the Hindus. The Congress Party will be able to reap the fruits of victory and become the ruling party of India in the future! So. Hasn't the Indian MSLIN Alliance, which has been fighting bloodily for so many years, become a big wrongdoer? But to stick to the Juan-Laist Muhammad thought. There is also a dilemma if you insist on the dictatorship of Msling, who will be the boss of the Msling alliance or Allah?

Yes, Allah is an outsider and has little roots in India, and it cannot be compared with the deep-rooted Musling Alliance. If India's MSLi were to vote, the MSLIN coalition would win on its stomach. But...... Voting is the way of mínzhǔ constitutionalism, and it can't just be a matter of letting mslin vote and not letting Hindus vote? And dictatorship or something, it seems to talk about power coming out of the barrel of a gun. The Allah party from Central Asia are all terrorists, and the Msling Alliance is a civilized Msling. How can you beat a bunch of terrorists?

So it doesn't seem to work to play dictatorship! Unless Chinese is willing to stand up for himself as the great leader of the Indian people...... However, this hope is not great, the Chinese themselves are following the evil path of mínzhǔ constitutionalism, how can they support the mínzhǔ alliance to establish a dictatorship in India? Besides, what benefits can you give to the Chinese? I'm afraid that what I can give, Allah can give, and even more! After all, these outsiders are being generous to others.

Chang Ruiqing knew what Jinnah was worried about, in fact, this was the purpose of inviting Jinnah to Nanjing, he sighed, showed an emotional expression, and said: "Mr. Jinnah, I think now is the time to decide the future of India, this is a very, very critical moment, it requires a lot of wisdom and courage. Because there is no perfect path in front of the Indian people, whether it is a constitutional government or a dúcái, there will be all kinds of difficulties, in short, there is no perfect path, and your choices now will affect the fate of the next generations, tens, or even dozens of generations of Indians. At this critical juncture in history, the vision and great wisdom of leaders are needed. This is the advice that a Chinese politician who has experienced similar difficulties and choices wants to give to India. He suddenly accentuated his tone: "But I will not choose for you, and no one can choose the future for the Indians, the road is under your feet, and it is up to you how to choose." ”

Although Chang Ruiqing did not have a penny of affection for Indian Ah San, he did not want to make the wrong choice for the Indians at this time - in fact, he did not know what route was right or wrong for the Indians. For example, in the previous life, under the arrangement of Gandhi, Nehru and the British, the Indian Asan embarked on the evil path of mínzhǔ constitutionalism, which in the eyes of some Celestial Empire people was the main culprit that caused India to lag behind China. It seems that as long as India has a great leader like Mao Taizu to exercise dictatorship, they can quickly rise to become a world power. However, at this time and space, Comrade Lu Yi and the Indian GCD came to power with the support of the Soviets, and the Indian Red Army was also quite strong for a time.

But at what cost? There is a price for mínzhǔ, can dúcái** be obtained for free? Without Trotsky's reinforcements, without a decade of bloody Indian revolutionary wars, how could the authority of the Reu and the Indian GCD be established? In another time and place, there was the Ruy, and there was the Indian GCD, but the Indian Ahsan supported Gandhi, supported Jinnah, and supported their non-violent movement - and the price of the non-violent movement was, of course, difficult to produce a dúcái and a dictatorship! How can a dúcái person come out hungry by starving? The current great leader of India, Lu Yi, has never gone on a hunger strike, but he has to pay the price in other ways. Like following the USSR in the world revolution! Trotsky's aid was not gratuitous, but at the cost of the lives of tens of millions of Indian cannon fodder! Another consequence of getting on the Soviet tank was, of course, the invasion of Chinese imperialism. I don't know how many Indian Asans will die in the current and future wars.

This is the price that India has to pay for the dictatorship regime of the GCD in India!

And now, the same difficult choice is in front of Jinnah and the Indian Muslim alliance - the Allah fundamentalists have long made the choice, theocracy plus Allah's dictatorship.

Is it to play mínzhǔ with the Hindus, or to play dictatorship with Allah, or to cut a large chunk of territory in India and create a kingdom of its own?

Jinnam was silent, and thought for nearly half an hour before gritting his teeth and whispering, "Mslin and the Hindus are feuding. It is unrealistic to forcibly pinch the two together to form a country! ”

Chang Ruiqing's heart was relieved, Jinnah's choice was in his arms, and he looked at Jinna with a smile: "Mr. Jinnah." Mr. Yusuf shares your opinion...... But what he wanted was a theocratic state, not a secular Yraslamic state. Don't know what your wishes are? ”

Jinna smiled bitterly: "It seems that we can't get together with Allah." He paused for a moment and then added, "Mr. Prime Minister, I think we can emulate your country's system. Establishment of a Greater Indian Federation...... This federation could consist of a secular state in northwestern India, a theocratic state in northeastern India, and a number of states established by Hindus. The capital of the Federation can be placed in Delhi......"

"Adjutant Chan."

Jinnah's words were not finished. Gao Xiaowen hurriedly walked in with a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense. When the staff officer saw the adjutant Chen Xinrui, he immediately leaned over and muttered in a low voice, and when he finished speaking, Chen Xinrui immediately stood up: "Mr. Prime Minister, the battle report of the Indian battlefield, the Indian Guards Army commanded by Pavlov is preparing to leave the Xue Yue cluster in Lahore to block the eastward advance!" ”

……

The clouds are low and heavy rain is coming.

A tropical monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean sweeps across the Punjab plain. On the cāo field outside the headquarters of the Indian Guards Army in the south of Lahore, thousands of officers and political cadres wearing blue and gray sè military uniforms and octagonal military caps stood straight. All are waiting there quietly, and not only them. The officers and men of the Indian Guards Army, which were scattered all over the city and outside Lahore, also formed a neat phalanx, waiting for the order of the great leader Comrade Lu Yi to attack. The People's Republic of India has reached its most dangerous moment! At least 100,000 Chinese invading troops have left Sialkot in northern West Punjab. It is striding southeast, and the target is likely to be Delhi, the capital of the People's Republic of India!

When the news reached Lahore, the Guards Army knew that the moment of decisive battle had finally arrived! This establishment is similar to that of 1934, the main force from the Indian Red Army group armies of Jīng Rui, all of which were established during the Indian Revolutionary War, and were given the glorious "Guards" number of battalions and companies, and after strict training by Soviet instructors, they were also equipped with a large number of officers who studied in the Soviet Union, and their weapons and equipment were also the same as those of Jīng Rui's Soviet Red Army Group Army. Their only mission was to defend the Indian GCDZHŌNGYĀNG and the great leader of India, Comrade Lu Yi, and now that Delhi, where India GZHŌNGYĀNG and Comrade Lu Yi were located, was facing the threat of the Chinese invading army, they had to step up.

There was a loud sound of military boots, and the new commander of the Guards Army, General Pavlov of the Soviet Army, held the order signed by Comrade Lu Yi in his hand, and walked quickly into the cāo field in front of the headquarters surrounded by his staff, and walked to the wooden rostrum of the cāo field. He looked up at the dark and low sky, a confident smile on the corner of his mouth. The squadron's operation of hundreds of thousands of Indian troops with Lahal ignoring and rushing straight to Delhi greatly surprised Pavlov's expectations! It also pushed the Guards Army in Lahore to the point where it had no choice but to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army - they could not under any circumstances watch Delhi fall, and did not even dare to take such a risk. Thankfully, the unpredictable climate of the South Asian subcontinent gave Pavlov hope of victory. The result of the collision of cold air from Central Asia and tropical pressure from the Indian Ocean is a heavy rain, although this rain will cause a lot of problems for the autumn harvest in Punjab, thus giving India a chance to harvest the grain soup early. But at the same time, it will also make it impossible for the Chinese to exert their air superiority.

According to the scouts' report, the Chinese army that left Sialkot this time had about three infantry corps, with a total strength of about 150,000. If it was an ordinary Indian army, it would definitely not be able to defeat them, but the Indian Guards Army, which consisted of the entire Indian Red Army, should teach them a lesson, if not a complete victory, at least a draw. Pavlov believed that the other side would not carry too much ammunition supplies, and that even a draw would be enough to force them into the Kashmir Valley. In this way, the People's Republic of India has a chance to breathe.
