Chapter 470: Artoria in Asia

The problems of the regime in northern India were even more serious than those faced by the Soviet Union, and Lin Han did not believe that the leaders of the PKI would have the "iron will" of Stalin and have the courage to purge the entire country from top to bottom.

In northern India, the land reform is not complete, the caste has not been truly abolished from the roots, the people's ideological emancipation is impossible to talk about, and the quality and quality of party members are also very concerning. Under such circumstances, the new regime will certainly have big problems in the future."

As for the current situation of the CPI embarking on the "road of revisionist compromise" after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lin Han persuaded the Chinese comrades to give up continuing to forcefully interfere in the "revolutionary" process in India.

"Sometimes, people are really forgetful. The biggest lesson of human beings is that they always heal their scars and forget the pain, and they have to suffer two stubbles to remember the good of the past, and after a period of time the wound is healed, they will forget it again, and so on and so on, endlessly.

However, a Republic of Northern India that has fallen back from the world to hell can not only make the local Indians miss the various benefits of the PLA at that time, but also benefit the "former British Indians" who have become Chinese, and after seeing the current situation of their "relatives", they will always be grateful to New China -- there is a comparison to remember well, my time and space, and later the Mongolian compatriots in Inner Mongolia understood this truth very well after seeing the current situation in Mongolia. ”

After 1941, what happened in northeastern India and Pakistan was soon known to the British through the upper echelons who had fled from both places.

Although in Lin Han's eyes, the current Republic of Northern India is nothing more than an "Indian repair", and the changes carried out by the Soviets in Pakistan are also full of problems. However, from the point of view of "downward" and "worse", this Indian repair is still much more "progressive" than the rest of British India.

After 1942. The People's Daily, a Chinese edition, published a front-page article that accurately described the current situation in British India.

"A specter, the specter of communism, hovers over Asia. All the forces of British India, the British colonists. The heads of the princely states, as well as the so-called high-caste people, and even the former anti-colonial (crab) parties in India that had sought independence, have now formed a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre. ”

Of the "Seven Sisters of the Northeast" in British India, Tripura and Mizoram, the only two states that were not liberated, were the most affected because of their proximity to the Republic of Northern Indo, which had more contact with them.

In the eyes of the new China, the "revolution" in the Republic of North India under the control of the Communist Party of India was very incomplete. It can even be marked with the mark of "Printing and Repair". But in the eyes of the chiefs of these Indian princely states, which were still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal era, they were already frightening "devilish" behaviors. Needless to say, the more radical changes taking place in Pakistan to the west.

It wasn't just the princely lords who trembled at the sight of the changes taking place in both the east and the west.

The abolition of the caste system of the four castes with Indian characteristics, the Brahmins, the highest and the lesser Kshatriyas, also seriously hurt their interests. Even the Vaishyas and Shudras, who were in a much lower position, were oppressed by the Paramas and Kshatriyas, but they also "enjoyed" the benefits of oppressing the lowest "untouchables". I am also skeptical of the changes that are taking place in the east-west direction.

As for India, there has been a lot of "independence (crab) standing". The various political parties that did not deal with the British government, such as Gandhi's Congress Party, the Green Party, the Social Democratic Party and the like (note: in India in the forties, there were a variety of mixed parties, and at its peak there were as many as 192. )。 Nor can we accept the changes that are taking place in both places.

In the eyes of both China and the Soviet Union, these parties did not dare to mobilize the masses and rely on the workers' and peasants' proletariat, and their minds were full of thinking about operating among the "upper class" and the "rich", the middle class, and the petty bourgeoisie. The parties that want to be liberated only by parliamentary struggles and the "mercy" of the suzerainty are themselves "revolutionary romantics" who are inferior to "revisionists".

The so-called political parties in India, their positions, propositions, and actions, can be completely exposed at this time by paraphrasing the words of the "Communist (Crab) Party Manifesto" written by Uncle Ma a hundred years ago on "feudal socialism."

"The French and English aristocracy, in accordance with their historical position, had the mission of writing works that attacked modern bourgeois society. In the July Revolution of 1830 in France and the reform movement in England, they were once again defeated by the hated nouveau riche. From then on, there can be no more serious political struggles. All they can do is fight over words. However, it is impossible to repeat the old tune of the Restoration period, even in terms of writing. In order to arouse sympathy, the aristocracy had to pretend as if they had no concern for their own interests and were writing indictments against the bourgeoisie only for the benefit of the exploited working class. The means they used to vent their anger were to sing songs that cursed their new ruler and to mumble to him some more or less sinister prophecies.

Thus came feudal socialism, half elegy, half slander; Half echoes of the past, half intimidation of the future; It can sometimes pierce the heart of the bourgeoisie with spicy, playful and snarky comments, but it is always laughable because of its complete inability to understand the course of modern history.

In order to win over the people, the aristocracy waved the proletarian begging bag as a banner. However, whenever the people followed them, they found that their buttocks (crabs) had the old feudal coat of arms, so they laughed and scattered. They reproach the bourgeoisie, not so much because it produces the proletariat, but because it produces the revolutionary proletariat...... Thus, in political practice, they take part in all violent measures against the working class, and in their daily lives they deign to pick up the golden apples against their own high-sounding rhetoric, and buy and sell wool, sugar beets and soju without regard for faith, charity and reputation.

Just as the monks always walked hand in hand with the feudal lords, so the socialism of the monks always walked hand in hand with feudal socialism.

It couldn't have been easier to paint Christian asceticism with a socialist tinge. Isn't Christianity also vehemently opposed to private property, to marriage, and to the state? Doesn't it advocate the substitution of good deeds and begging, celibacy and abstinence, monasticism and worship? Christian socialism is nothing more than holy water used by monks to sanctify the grievances of the aristocracy. ”

The words used by Uncle Ma and Uncle En a hundred years ago when they mocked the so-called "aristocratic revolutionary parties" in Europe can also be used more than a hundred years later. In the case of many political parties in post-1940s India, whether they were headed by Gandhi or Nehru, it was only necessary to slightly change the terminology of a few key parts: for example, the aristocracy was replaced by "high-caste revolutionaries", the bourgeoisie was replaced by the British colonial government and princely state leaders, and the monks and Christians replaced the various religions of India.

Within the territory of British India after the end of the war in Europe in 1941. The most bizarre phenomenon that has emerged is that the various political parties that have formed here continue to engage in "peaceful trouble" and want to win India's independence from British control and establish a state. On the other hand, these parties and the Indian upper classes to which they belong are vigilant about the changes taking place in both the east and the west, and they are resolutely on the side of the British government in the fight against the CPI.

"Colonized by the British, it was a matter of loss of dignity and a small amount of money. Liberation by the Bolsheviks, that is, the loss of everything. ”

The problem of interests brought about by the nature of the class. It is a key factor in determining the political tendencies of all parties.

In terms of propaganda, the heads of local high-level forces in British India and the various political parties are no longer as fanatical as they were when China and the Soviet Union hit the Indian border in 1940, but are unusually calm and resolutely on the side of the British colonial government, blaming China and the Soviet Union for "splitting India" and shameless "bandits and hooligans."

After 1940. The British colonial government intensified its crackdown on the PKI in the areas under its control, and in the process. Many parties in India secretly communicated with the British to provide intelligence, and the development of the PKI in British India was severely restricted.

Of course, there are also smart people in these many parties in India who know how to play the trick of two sides. They cooperated with the British to fight the PKI. Quite a few of them are carried out secretly (crab). Like Gandhi's Congress Party, the largest party in India, on the one hand, they secretly contacted the British to leak the activities of the PKI, and on the other hand, they also secretly contacted the Soviets and China, and they themselves were superficial in India. but put on a pseudo-neutral face without saying a word.

However, the two-faced faces of these parties soon spread to Lin Han through Artoria, and then to the Chinese side.

Originally, there were still some naïve "internationalists" in the upper echelons of the Chinese side, but after receiving the information from Lin Han and seeing the faces of the Indian gang clearly, even the naïve "internationalists" were stimulated to anger.

The scheming British see the face and essence of the major separatist parties in India, and they also take advantage of the situation. The "Bolshevik plague threat theory" was hyped up among the local elites, so that the princely states in various parts of India did not dare to break away from the protection of the British government because of resistance and fear of "redness". At the time of the truce in 1940, threatened by the United States and the heavy losses in the war, the British control in India was reduced to the lowest freezing point, but they still survived, and a very important factor was that the local middle and upper classes of India were afraid of losing the protection of Britain after independence, so that the invasion of the red forces in the east and west would change color and lose everything.

On the two contradictions of national contradiction and class contradiction, the middle and upper classes of India chose the one that was most beneficial to themselves.

After the end of the one-year war, before the advent of Artoria, the British, in order to strengthen their control over India, formed the "Allied Army Against Bolsheviks" in India under the banner of "opposing Bushvism".

This so-called "allied army against the Bolsheviks" is essentially similar to the "white army" during the Soviet Union's founding war, most of which are financed by the leaders of various princely states in India, and the British provide weapons and officers.

This was the approach taken by the British in the three years after the war, before the advent of Artoria.

And after Aalto appeared, realizing his identity as a "divine messenger" and the great benefits of brainwashing India through religion, the British official began to have new ideas.

From 1935 onwards, the British encountered the soldiers of Red China in China.

In that war, Britain was defeated and finally forced to roll out of China in disgrace. In the course of the war, the British were deeply impressed by the heroic and fearless fighting will of the "Red Bolsheviks" on the battlefield, especially the Chinese partisans who persisted in guerrilla warfare on the Zhoushan Islands for a year, suffered more than 70 percent casualties but refused to surrender, and finally left as victors.

"Berserker", this is the evaluation given to the opponent by the British soldiers who participated in the war after the war.

The British understood the Bolshevik doctrine better than any other capitalist country, and they were fond of using it as a "religiously fanatical army" when attacking their opponents in propaganda.

Although the British government attacked its opponents with such a "religious army", it was actually full of sour taste in their hearts, and they also wanted to build a similar army.

Churchill, the famous "British traitor", once said a very shameless thing during the war: the British Empire will not negotiate peace with Germany until the last Indian dies.

India had a population of 200 million, and the colonial army conscripted by India was an important part of the British Army.

However, India and Asan are a multi-ethnic country, and the folk customs of the Indochina Peninsula are really not martial enough, and they are not a "fighting nation" at all -- if they are martial enough, they will not be thousands of years old, as long as foreign races come in, they can always be easily conquered, and anyone can come to them.

The British government's greatest dream was that as long as the soldiers recruited from the population of 200 million could have the same will to fight as the soldiers of the Gurkhas, the sun would never set on the empire. The Gurkha people are the most combat-ready people among the Indians, and the will to fight is very satisfactory to the British, but the only regret is that the population of this tribe is not large, and the number of soldiers that can be collected is limited.

In addition to the Gurkhas, the fighting power of other ethnic groups here in India can generally be described as the five scum of war. So much so that in the one-year war, in the face of the siege of China and the Soviet Union in the east and west, Britain had a colony and home advantage of 200 million troops, but it was unable to organize a strong army to confront.

After the appearance of Artoria, the British thought of a good solution to this problem.

One of the "whimsical ideas" of the British government was to form a "religious" colonial army with the help of Artoria's "oracle". This army worships Artoria and fights for it in the name of jihad, and this kind of army that has been brainwashed by religion has no problem with its will to fight, and it is an excellent cannon fodder.

After a successful missionary mission in Egypt, Artoria came to India in July 1944 and began to preach there as an oracle, and through her, the British government wanted to change the unsightly will of the Indians to fight, so as to build a fanatical religious army that would serve as cannon fodder for the British to defend their colonial interests on the battlefields of various places.
