Look, if it is us who wins, and it is the Combined Fleet of the Entente that sinks, how long can it resist? Deng Jian handed the cigarette to Xiao Ruhai's nose.

Xiao Ruhai "snapped" and fired the lighter: "I should ask this question." ”

Deng Jian twisted his fingers on the cigarette, groaned for a while, and slowly spoke: "Bar Gangdal Tirak, have you heard of this name?" ”

Xiao Ruhai pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You mean the radical leader of the Congress Party who triggered the strike of 100,000 workers in Mumbai?" ”

That's right, it was he who advocated the violent overthrow of British colonial rule and the complete independence of India, and had a great influence among the workers and intellectuals, and was a thorn in the side of the British and Indian authorities. He was sentenced to 18 months in 1897.=.Marat gathered more than 10,000 workers to demonstrate and welcome him out of prison. ”

"It's very popular."

"Indeed, he went on to propose the establishment of a federal republic, the freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and association, and the development of national industry and commerce, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and by 1907 the radicals of the Congress Party, headed by him, and Guo .~ had themselves set up a 'nationalist party,' resisting the first stage of the political goal of 'ideology and 'complete self-government.'"

"Later, it wasn't just 'passive resistance'......"

"As we have seen, the marches, the uprisings, the barricades, the massacres, the arrests, intensified, and finally ...... Seven years ago, Tirak was arrested for the second time and sentenced to six years in prison. As soon as the results of the trial came out. 100,000 workers in Bombay took to the streets for a city-wide general strike, British troops opened fire on a crackdown, followed by arrests and persecutions on a larger scale, and the national liberation movement fell into a low ebb. Speaking of which, Deng Jian looks like a compassionate Bodhisattva.

"And then? If you were sentenced to six years in prison, you would have been released from prison last year. Xiao Ruhai asked with concern.

Deng Jian tilted his head and did not answer directly: "In the original time and space, after being released from prison, Tirak changed his personality, declared his allegiance to the British king, and called on the Indian people to support the British in the war. At the same time, it also expressed the need to achieve the goal of self-government through cooperation and reform, rather than through violent struggle. ”

Xiao Ruhai sneered and said: "Petty bourgeois sentiment, jumping from one extreme to the other, this can be regarded as a surrender to the moderates." ”

Deng Jian spit out two smoke rings in succession: "Almost, by 16 years, the Congress Party two. First, it cooperated with the Muslim League, whose influence was second only to the Congress Party, and decided to follow the path of peaceful struggle for self-government. At that time, in order to win the war, the British also promised to give India autonomy after the war. ”

"As a result, Ah San was tricked?"

"That's right, playing a scoundrel like this, Ah San, how can he play the old colonial leader. Later, the dominance of the Congress Party fell into the hands of bad people like Gandhi, who were not beaten, and engaged in some kind of non-violent non-cooperation movement. He tied his hands and feet, and was made to and urine by the British, and the Muslim League took the opportunity to make a big deal, and finally made a partition of India and Pakistan, and Gandhi was not angry to death, but was shot dead by his Hindu compatriots. Deng Jian spewed a long string of smoke out of his nose with contempt.

"And now? Hereof, What happened to Tirak? And where is Gandhi? Xiao Ruhai couldn't wait to know what to do.

Deng Jian still kept his tone of telling stories to children: "Last June, Tirak came out. ”

"And then?"

"He met some Chinese."

"Go on."

"He came to China and met other Chinese, as well as many of his old friends and good comrades. Do you want me to say it next? ”

"Go on."

"He's in Singapore right now, right in front of the Bukit Timah Hotel, and you'll be able to see him soon, and then you'll call him His Excellency the Chairman."

"Chairman?"

"President of the All-India Liberation Alliance. And the commander-in-chief of the Indian National Liberation Army, how? And a little bit of flavor. ”

"Almost...... I see......"

Seeing that Xiao Ruhai finally extinguished the first cigarette butt, Deng Jian handed over the cigarette case in a timely manner. Xiao Ruhai thought about it, took out two at a time, put one in his mouth, and the other one, took off his military hat and pinned it to his ears.

"What? I'm reliving the beautiful memories of a certain year. Deng Jian took back the cigarette case, shook his head and smiled.

Xiao Ruhai smiled and did not answer, only asked about Gandhi's whereabouts.

"Gandhi, if I remember correctly, went to South Africa in 1888 to work, stayed for more than ten years, and returned to India in 1915, according to the historical records there, and played an important role in the unification of the two factions of the Congress party. He has carried out a large number of protest movements and demonstrations in South Africa, showing extraordinary organizational and mobilization skills, and the basic political ideas have been formed, and the truth of Hindu teachings, non-violence, seems to be quite to the liking of the average Indian. ”

"So what?"

"So? What else? Those who do not cooperate with the All-India Liberation Alliance, do not support His Excellency Talak, the leader of the National Liberation, and refuse to contribute to the liberation of India, are Indian traitors and British dogs! On the other hand, if you want to cooperate with the British to engage in local self-defense, fake autonomy or something, it is an unforgivable traitor leader, and it is not an exaggeration to cut it with a thousand knives! ”

"So ......"

"What do you think?"

"Solved?"

Deng Jian blinked mysteriously: "You'll know the Tao later." ”

Xiao Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly was startled again: "Could it be that Gandhi is also here?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Do you mean...... He is also at the Bukit Timah Hotel! ”

Deng Jian snapped his fingers: "Yes, and he's still with Tirac." ”

He ...... Is it voluntary? ”

"Soon we will be sure, before that, let the two wise men discuss their 'truth' well."

Xiao Ruhai suddenly realized, rubbed the slag on his chin and sighed: "I see...... Gandhi also took it into account, and in such a situation, it was up to the Congress veteran Tirac to persuade Gandhi to borrow Gandhi's super organizational and mobilization skills......"

"Not only that, but Gandhi's prestige among the Indian diaspora is also valuable, and the amount of power that the All India Liberation Alliance can absorb at the moment is mainly the diaspora......

"What's going on with that Indian National Liberation Army?" Xiao Ruhai seems to have put on a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"Mainly Malay and Burmese Indian prisoners of war, plus a small number of volunteer expatriates, by the end of last month, almost 13,000 men had been gathered at the call of Tirak, and they were planned to be organized into four separate regiments before the campaign was launched - of course, I don't think they can play a role comparable to that of Burma." Deng Jian spread his hands.

Xiao Ruhai smiled contemptuously: "The three ethnic groups are inferior? ”

Deng Briefing smiled with a sneer: "You can ask Mr. Gandhi for this question." ”
