PS: Wahahaha, it broke out today, three more. 5000 words big chapter asking for votes!

........................................................................

"Ah, Niu Niu, why are you so bullish?!

In fact, when our dear opium cow broke the big news, the whole world was scorched. This sentence is not only what Mr. Wen wants to ask, but also what China wants to ask. All heads of state and bigwigs want to ask.

Niu Niu, is it swollen? Do you want to be so against the sky! You look like this, can everyone still play happily?

"Damn! I still underestimate the British, they really deserve to be a thousand-year-old-stirring stick! They even copy our policies!" said Wen Desi, the British are so talented that they can even come up with such a solution.

So what did the British do that shocked the world so much?

Well, it's nothing, they just implemented a land reform policy in India. That's right, it's a policy of land tenure reform! Or a coercive land tenure reform policy of the Chinese and Soviet Unions!

So everyone was dumbfounded when they found out, you sister of land reform! You Britain are a model of imperialism and a model of capitalism, and you are still going to carry out socialist land reform, is it really good to do so? You must have taken the wrong script!

Because more than a decade of independence movement here in India has really exhausted the British. Although they hired the Japanese as thugs, it is obvious that the Japanese really regard themselves as mercenaries, they have no intention of fighting with the Indians at all, they are all picking up soft persimmons, as long as the resistance of the Indian rebels is slightly stronger, they began to paddle, tossing for several years, before they got rid of the Bengal area. But we all know the virtue of the Japanese, Bangladesh has done it, but the Bengalis are also about to become extinct.

Although the Japanese themselves thought that they were doing a good job, the British could not stand this level of efficiency, and they still counted on drawing blood from India to replenish themselves, and now they are constantly losing blood in India. Moreover, the territory they occupied before was too large, and there were too many colonies to grab, not only here in India, but also in Yemen and Oman in Arabia, and the colonies in Africa are also not stopping, and even the three sons of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are clamoring to separate their families.

If it was the British Empire before World War I, it was naturally not afraid, no one dared to provoke the empire at its peak, and whoever dared to make trouble would be hung and beaten, and all colonies were drawn honestly, better than good grandsons, because the unobedient ones were hung with street lights.

However, the First World War, which lasted for more than five years and the Spanish flu, caused Britain to die a generation, and most of the old base accumulated over more than 100 years was empty. Originally, they thought that they could solve the Indian problem quickly, but after many British troops were completely annihilated and severely damaged by the rebels this year, they no longer have that confidence.

India's series of defeats, and the unstoppable progress in Africa and the Middle East, made Britain unable to afford it anyway. Moreover, the protracted colonial war had exhausted the patience of the people, as well as the magnates and capitalists, and the anti-war sentiment in the country was now extremely strong, making the Labour Cabinet a big fight. Civilians are against the war because they think that enough people have died in the First World War, and now the colonies are a quagmire, and now they have no hope of a quick victory, and they no longer want to go overseas to be cannon fodder. And the elites and capitalists oppose the war because the gains on this battlefield really outweigh the losses, and if they continue to fight, they will lose money.

What to do now? Prime Minister Macdonald and his Labour Cabinet are both considering this issue, if it were a different time, he would have been ousted long ago, but the prime minister at this time is the one who bears the blame, and the Conservative Party can't think of a better way, so naturally they won't do such stupid things, they are happy to see jokes, anyway, if they don't do it well, it will be the Labour Party's pot. So Prime Minister MacDonald's position is still firmly seated, and everyone wants him to take over the pot completely.

Of course, the Labour Party feels that it is under a lot of pressure, and of course they can resign and leave, but this is the first time that the Labour Party has formed a government. Therefore, the Labor Party is also stubbornly holding on, not to mention making the country and the colonies clear, at least to get some results, at least to carry out the colonial uprising in India.

What should we do now with the British Empire? We must admit that Britain, an empire on which the sun never sets, is not given away by phone bills, and people also earn it by their skills. Coupled with being a-stirring stick for thousands of years, when it comes to political strategy, it's not bad at all. Even if the Labour Party is inexperienced, but others do, and not all Britons want to see their Labour jokes. In addition, the civil service system is also very perfect, and the administrative officials are all experienced bureaucrats.

So it's not that the Labour cabinet can't really find anyone to come up with an idea, but it really can't help it. In the past few years, all kinds of methods have been used, including but not limited to co-opting and dividing, coercion and inducement, bribery and coercion, two tigers competing for food, and inciting the masses to fight the masses...... and other means have been exhausted, and the situation is still so unsolvable.

As the saying goes, people are forced. Under heavy pressure, someone finally slapped the door of the head, and an idea came to mind. That's to carry out land reform in India! Yes, just like China and the Soviet Union, the land of the princely lords and magnates was confiscated and distributed to those commoners and untouchables, and those untouchables were upgraded to commoners. Wouldn't it divide these civilians to pay taxes directly to the British colonial authorities and adjust the tax rate to be less than they had before?

....................................................................................

Moreover, although the brain-hole of this idea is a bit large, it is not without examples, and there are ready-made examples of revolutions in China and the Soviet Union and other countries, all of which fully show how powerful the fighting power of those poor people will burst out once they have acquired land. And these civilians who were allocated to the fields, in order to protect their own interests, would definitely stand in the camp of the British.

These civilians don't care who is the boss, there is no difference between the princely lords and the British. As long as the boss can make them live a good life, he is a good boss. It should be explained here that India is a mess of incomprehensible messes, mixed with various nationalities and religions.

No way, before the British came, India was a geographical concept here, and it was never unified. Even the most powerful Mughal empire controlled most of the subcontinent in the late 17th century, but their heyday was short-lived. After Aurangzeb's death in 1707, many of the forcibly conquered regions quickly returned to secession. The Mughal dynasty focused on holding on to a few rich areas, and the Muslim rulers eventually let themselves go unchecked in the face of a proliferation of independent princely states. In this land, it has always been the banner of the changing king at the head of the city, and there are many warlords and soil emperors in various places. Due to this historical reason, the upper elites of many of their princely states and the people at the bottom are not of the same ethnic group or religion. Religious contradictions, combined with class contradictions, have led to extremely acute social contradictions.

In the past, the British ruled India by relying on local kings and magnates to act as an intermediate class to indirectly rule India. But in the current situation, those middle classes are unreliable, and Britain's heavy losses in the First World War have exposed its own weakness. Let these Indian elites think, coupled with the instigation of foreign forces, they see an opportunity. This is also very normal, who wants to be the second boss if they can be the boss, and besides, they are the boss here.

Originally, it was only the middle and lower classes of India who engaged in armed independence, such as Singh's gang, who danced the most, and there were few people of noble birth. According to Indian tradition, these people have little influence, and they can't make big waves.

The upper echelons of India hoped to force Britain to make concessions by peaceful means and peacefully take over power from the British, and their representatives were the moderate faction of the Congress Party headed by Gandhi. The vast majority of the old men are reluctant to fight hard, in their opinion, this kind of thing is still done by the fart people, just singing red face, singing white face at the same time, you have to force the British to give in.

However, in December 1921, the "Delhi Massacre" shocked the world, completely disrupting the wishful thinking of the Indian elite, when Indians who were holding a peaceful sit-in demonstration in the square clashed with the British guards who came to drive them away, resulting in the death of more than 1,000 Indians, including Gandhi, a representative of "non-violent non-cooperation" and many of the moderate cadres of the Congress party.

After that, the moderates of the Indian National Congress (PNC), which had been in power, lost ground, and the radicals led by Chandra Bose took control of the Congress, and the party's tactics changed completely and began to turn to armed resistance.

When these Indian elites joined the rebels, the nightmare of the British came. These guys are all very influential people in society, and their appeal is far from being comparable to that of Singh's middle and lower class people. Under the call of these lords, the South Asian subcontinent was on fire everywhere, and Britain was in tragedy.

.................................................................................

Truth be told, the British had never thought of using this method before, after all, the local upper echelons of India were also part of their colonial institutions. But these people are now unreliable, so the British will naturally not be polite, you are unkind to me.

Whether this idea is good or not, and what the effect is, is still unknown, but the outlet of evil anger is certain, but this trick has not been tried before. It doesn't hurt to give it a try, it can't be worse anyway.

The British were still very active in action, and as soon as the plan was decided, they sent people to the member states of the two organizations, the People's Revolutionary Union and the Third International, to learn from the experience. Britain is also an experienced and old empire, and there is nothing complicated about land reform, and the purpose is one thing: to redistribute land. The land owned by the big landlords and the big nobles was distributed to the landless commoners, who accounted for the majority of the population.

As a result, at the beginning of March this year, Britain began land reform in Bangladesh, Mumbai, Goa, Ceylon and other "liberated areas" under its own control. After more than ten years of fighting, the land of India has suffered serious population losses, not only many civilian untouchables have died, but also the upper classes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas in many places have also died and fled.

At present, there are quite a lot of rebel armies in the Indian subcontinent, with more than a dozen large ones and countless small ones. However, there are two special rebel armies, one is the "Free People's Army" led by Singh, which is mainly active on the southeast coast of the South Asian subcontinent, as well as in the areas of Hyderabad and Karnatic. There is also the "Marat Liberation Front", which is mainly active in the north-west of the South Asian subcontinent, in the former Marat Union area south of Delhi and the Ganges River. These are two armed forces under the banner of socialism, and their methods are particularly radical.

They killed not only the British, but also the Indian elites, accusing them of "traitors, traitors, shameful criminals, exploiters", and so on. Which of the upper echelons of India in these years had not cooperated with the British? So everywhere they went, the upper echelons were basically killed by their entire families. Moreover, they are also atheists, and they are not polite to religious temples, whether it is the Green Religion, Buddhism, Sankoism or any other religion, all religious personnel who have blood debts and have cooperated with the British will also kill their entire families.

For example, after conquering Delhi, the "Marat Liberation Front" gathered the relevant documents and other relevant materials sealed by the local authorities into the square, and lit a fire to burn them clean. As a result, their supporters were so large that now that the north-west and south-east of India had fallen, the British colonial authorities had to withdraw the seat of the Viceroy from Delhi to Bombay.

Well, in fact, the British can think of carrying out land reform themselves, and most of them are inspired by them. However, the old imperialists such as the British have done a much better job, and they have also referred to the experience of the revolutions in many countries to formulate a system of "honorary citizens of the British Empire", and all Indians who do things for the British, who are willing to be loyal to the British, and who are willing to join the British "Indian Security Army" to fight against the rebels, will be awarded the title of "honorary citizens of the British Empire" and certificates. Only Indians who have received this title can enjoy the allotted land.

Now that India has been tossed in this way for many years, there are very few upper echelons left in many areas, and when the British regained these "lost territories", they raised their butcher knives again and killed the local upper and middle classes who were involved in the rebel army again. The property and land of these unlucky people were naturally declared "state-owned", oh no, they were "owned by the emperor", and they were confiscated into the territory of the "Indian royal family".

After all, Britain is still a monarchy, so their land reform is still different from that of socialist countries such as China and the Soviet Union. In the future, these Indians will pay taxes directly to the British, and will no longer have to pay rent and taxes to the kings and lords.

The British then recreated the title deeds and distributed them to the "Honorary Citizens of the British Empire" to make them "tenants" directly under the "Emperor Majesty".

Moreover, not only those who helped the British and participated in the "Indian Security Forces" could become "honorary citizens of the British Empire", but even the "good citizens" of those rebel areas (rebel-ruled areas) and transitional areas could also come to obtain certificates, as long as someone in the family joined the "Indian Security Army" and worked in the colonial institutions, enterprises, and farms, they could apply to become "honorary citizens" and then participate in the distribution of land, of course, the latter is less.

The most important thing is that Britain has also copied China's preferential treatment of military and martyrs. The British colonial authorities announced that all "honorary citizens" would be taxed at only 30% of their land, and that there would be no taxes on anything else. Anyone in the family who served in the "Indian Security Forces" enjoyed the preferential treatment of halving the tax. If the serviceman dies in combat while serving in the military, the family members are entitled to a 10-year tax exemption. Of course, if a soldier is a deserter in the war, the field will be recovered. In the event of a mutiny, the punishment is even heavier, and the family members will be thrown into prison to serve hard labor.

During this period, India was similar to that of old China, and the common people had to bear very heavy land rents and various taxes, and it was very common for them to pay seventy percent of the tax, and the three percent agricultural tax given by the British was definitely a real benevolent government.

After several months of implementing this policy, the British were pleasantly surprised to find that the situation in the controlled area had stabilized at once. Except for the "Free People's Army" and the "Marat Liberation Front", two rebel armies that were also carrying out land reform, other rebel armies have been suppressed, especially those led by the upper echelons, who have deserted and gone to the side of the British.

Prime Minister Macdonald and his Labour Cabinet celebrated the crown, and they both felt that they were too talented! Such a great idea could be thought of.

The British's policy of "land reform" completely reversed their predicament and greatly changed the situation in India. They now do not change hands through the local upper echelons, but directly collect taxes from the bottom. This practice greatly improved the efficiency of tax collection, and the British could not get much of the previous indirect tax method, and most of the money was taken by the local upper class. The most important thing is that it tied the interests of the low-level Indians to itself, creating a large number of vested interests, which greatly consolidated its rule in India.

Of course, it was the local kings, lords, and high-ranking magnates who suffered the heavy losses. However, in the past, the British only treated them as dogs, not fathers, and the dogs dared to bite their owners if they were disobedient, so they were naturally beaten to death with a stick. Now that the British have better means of rule, these original upper echelons have naturally become victims.

The Labour Cabinet is now very confident, and they themselves have the support of the general public, and the little fighting power of the rebels is scum.

However, the British's gameplay also scared the whole world a lot.
