Tangcheng thought that his plan had failed, and Thomas, who was struggling in India, also thought that the crisis had dissipated, but he underestimated the ultimate goal of the Indian National Congress. The Indian National Congress does not advocate military persecution.
They acted peacefully, but in fact, when they gained the upper hand, they directly overturned the strategy proposed by the previous British government. The Congress Party did not agree with the previous strategy of the British government. Not only did they demand that all British troops withdraw from India unconditionally, they also demanded that the British government withdraw from India unconditionally.
When the army retreated, they left behind all weapons and equipment, including all ships anchored in the port.
How did Britain get its title of "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets"? It was won by the navy. The Congress Party now demands that when the British army withdraws from India, all ships in India should be left behind. This is absolutely impossible.
Even the good-tempered Thomas cursed on the spot. The British government had no choice but to agree to India's request for independence, but the various British industries in India must be protected. Moreover, the British troops stationed in India did not do so all at once.
Withdraw, but Zhu batches evacuated from India.
Thomas originally thought that the answer given by Downing Street was already a good result, but he did not expect that the Congress Party's appetite was far beyond what he could have imagined. The Congress Party's demands were sent back to London, and Downing Street politicians
They immediately exploded, and many radical politicians even asked the military to take immediate action to teach the Indians a lesson. However, the current international situation makes the British military a little timid, for fear of attracting international public opinion.
condemn.
Jordan's independence had previously won the support of most countries in the world. Although they knew that there must be a push from the Soviet Union and the United States behind it, the UK was currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and they really did not dare to do anything ostentatiously anymore. Tang, who was in Myanmar,
Tangcheng is still unaware of the trouble caused by the Indian National Congress Party. At this moment, Tangcheng is discussing with Hans the news from the United States. Tangcheng’s artificial diamond project is very successful. The Morgan family has made another decision this month.
Colored diamonds were launched one after another, earning considerable income.
According to Hans's calculations, the Morgan family can get at least three hundred thousand US dollars in this income. However, Tang Cheng and Hans have differences on the use of these three hundred thousand US dollars. Hans has been to the United States and knows
Opportunities are everywhere in the United States now. He suggested investing this part of the account in the American capital market. However, Tang Cheng was not interested in the capital market. With Solovitch in his hands, he was really not interested in the United States. If it were not for the purpose of taking a ride
With that plan in mind, he might not even want to deal with the Morgan family!
Tang Cheng’s suggestion is to use this part of the account to purchase various types of materials or technologies directly from the United States, especially new medical technologies. There are some things that Tang Cheng cannot tell Hans, but he must prepare in advance.
After the two argued, Hans couldn't resist Tang Cheng, and finally agreed to Tang Cheng's suggestion and planned to invest in the pharmaceutical industry in the United States through the Morgan family. "Hans, we have to get rid of vulgar taste and make money."
No matter how much it is, can it still compare to the land we control?"
When Hans heard this, he rolled his eyes at Tang Cheng, "Listen to what you are saying! What can you do if you just occupy this land? Doesn't it cost money to build this place? Do so many people not have food or clothing?
?Think carefully, how can you control this land if you are short of money!" Hans said it sincerely, but he did not understand the Chinese way of controlling land, which is completely opposite to that of Western countries. As long as there is
With land, the Chinese can create miracles!
With Tang Cheng's instructions, Hans, who had not rested for a few days, took his people to the United States again. On the night Hans left, Tang Cheng received a telegram from Thomas. Mountbatten was having trouble with the Indian National Congress.
It was overturned because Mountbatten could not accept the request made by the Indian National Congress Party. When Thomas sent this telegram to Tangcheng, Mountbatten had already ordered the British troops stationed in India to prepare to implement force control against the Indian National Congress Party. But soon
Obviously, Mountbatten underestimated the capabilities of the Indian National Congress, although there was no organized resistance on the part of the Indian National Congress.
However, after the British army arrested a large number of Congress Party members, the agitated Indian people finally began a general strike that spread to many cities. Mountbatten's official residence was surrounded by a large number of Indians, who were neither noisy nor making a fuss.
, just sitting quietly outside Mountbatten’s official residence, using a sit-in to fight against Mountbatten. If there are only a few dozen or hundreds of people sitting in, there is no deterrent at all, but if there are thousands of people participating in the sit-in protest
Tens of thousands, that would be another result.
Mountbatten, who was trapped in his official residence, wanted to mobilize the army to relieve himself, but he didn't expect that the Indians participating in the general strike even surrounded the British military camp. The British army dared to arrest people, but they did not dare to deal with such people openly.
Many Indians took action, so they could only choose turtles
Huddled in the military camp, Mountbatten, who had no armed forces, could only stay in his official residence in frustration. The situation thus formed a stalemate. Fortunately, these agitated Indian civilians did not attack other foreigners.
poses a threat, but many Indian stores have refused to sell goods to foreigners.
Thomas, who lives in the stronghold, was not affected, but he could not contact Mountbatten because the phone line at Mountbatten's official residence had been artificially cut off. After two days of stalemate, Mountbatten, who had been hiding in the official residence, was
He couldn't live anymore, because there was not much water in the official residence. If the situation at hand could not be improved or completely calmed down, he, the Governor-General of India, might die due to lack of water. In desperation, Mountbatten sent his confidants
The man got into the sewer and escaped from the mansion at night, and then he was able to contact Thomas.
Thomas knew it, which meant that the politicians in Downing Street also knew Mountbatten's current situation. After all, Mountbatten was the Governor-General of India appointed by Downing Street. He represented the face of Britain. The Indians surrounded Mountbatten in his official residence.
, this is a slap in the face of Britain. How could the proud British politicians allow the Indians to do this, so Downing Street directly issued an order to the British troops stationed in India.
After receiving orders from the mainland, the British troops who were blocked in the barracks were no longer unable to escape. However, the British troops, who did not dare to make a big fuss, chose wooden sticks and whips as weapons instead of hot weapons.
The British troops armed with wooden sticks and whips rushed out of the military camp one after another, overwhelming the Indians who surrounded the military camp. However, as more and more Indians joined in, the British soldiers who did not have much stamina were overwhelmed.
They were soon separated and fell into fighting and siege by the Indians.
It was at this moment that the gunfire suddenly rang out. A British officer who was beaten anxiously could not sit back and watch his soldiers being beaten with blood by the Indians, so he immediately pulled out his pistol and shot the man with a ferocious face and a wooden stick raised high.
The Indians were ready to hit them with sticks. The sudden sound of gunfire seemed to be a signal. Immediately, other British officers began to use their own guns to disperse the Indians who surrounded them. Along with the continuous sound of gunshots,
With the sound and the smell of blood gradually getting thicker in the air, the situation seemed to become even more bizarre.
There was bloodshed, and neither Mountbatten nor Thomas had thought of it in advance. When they asked about the cause of the incident, they finally found out
The British lieutenant who shot first had already swallowed his gun and committed suicide in his dormitory. The original sit-in protest turned into a bloody incident. If Mountbatten could tightly block the news, it would not be a big deal.
But the mistake was that Mountbatten wanted to get out of trouble, but he neglected to block the news.
One day later, relevant reports appeared in many European newspapers, and even photos of the scene of the incident appeared. Thanks to the push behind the Soviet Union and the United States, the matter quickly became an uproar, and the British government immediately fell into
Passively embarrassed. It later turned out that these reports and photos were all related to the Zionist Organization. Because the British government was dictating matters in the Middle East, the Zionist Organization planned to cause some trouble for them.
Downing Street politicians regret that they sent Mountbatten, a coward, to India. If anyone with a slightly tougher approach had gone to India, the trouble would not have been like this. On the surface, the British government seems to be doing nothing.
, but they already hated the Indians in their hearts. The plan that Tangcheng proposed before was re-proposed by Thomas who had an idea. The Indians must be taught a lesson. This is the consensus of Downing Street politicians, but in Tangcheng's plan
But there is a big problem.
Although the British royal family conferred the title of Governor of Burma on Tangcheng, and all the British troops originally stationed in Myanmar were withdrawn, Myanmar is still a Commonwealth country in name. If before India became independent, Tangcheng would brazenly send troops to attack India.
It can be said to be an internal matter of the United Kingdom. But in the current situation, if Myanmar sends troops to attack East Pakistan, the Soviet Union and the United States will once again make a fuss about it. They will say that Myanmar's sending troops was authorized by Downing Street.
No one expected that Thomas proposed a solution at this moment, which was to let Myanmar declare its independence. Thomas believed that after Tang Cheng became the governor-general of Myanmar, Myanmar would have little to do with Britain. Instead of being used by the Soviet Union and the United States in the future,
Speaking of which, it is better to be more generous and take the initiative to let Myanmar declare its independence.
As long as Myanmar declares independence before India, the issue of Myanmar sending troops to East Pakistan cannot be attributed to the British. Moreover, even if Myanmar sends troops to capture the East Pakistan area, it will be India that suffers. If we can take this opportunity, let India and Myanmar
It is called a hostile relationship and Britain, which is good at playing both sides, will have the opportunity to intervene in this region in the future.
