This is the main purpose of this civil servant meeting, and the subtext is to make money! It is to practice the mission of the British Empire never to surrender until the last drop of blood is shed in India.
This is of course no problem. Most senior officials believe that this matter is not difficult to handle. However, senior officials from Bombay Province and Bengal Province expressed the hope that the Congress Party will give clear support on this matter.
Of course, there is no need to mention the Bengal Province. It has only been two years since the Bengal Famine. To support the war in Myanmar, the Bengal Province, which is very close to Myanmar, will definitely have to bear the heavy responsibility, which requires the support of the Indian elite.
That is to say, with the full support of the Congress Party, the relationship between British India and the Congress Party was not very harmonious. They were wary of and exploited each other. You know, senior Bangladeshi official Burke also said, "In fact, although the mutiny caused by Indian soldiers was
It was quickly suppressed, but this trend cannot but be worrying."
As early as July 1942, the Congress Party made a request for complete independence to the British authorities. The document it drafted pointed out that if the United Kingdom did not agree to its request, mass disobedience would break out. Subsequently, the Bombay Conference of the Central Committee of the Congress Party passed
The "Quit India Resolution" was passed, marking the official start of the Quit India Movement. This movement was large-scale. It initially used peaceful demonstrations to deny authority and weaken the British war achievements. Then large-scale protests and demonstrations broke out across India and called for
Workers held a collective strike.
At the same time, the Japanese army posed a threat to British India after occupying Burma. It really shocked many people in British India at that time. Fortunately, the movement was eventually calmed down.
"Alan, what's going on in Hyderabad?" Sir Barron turned to Alan Wilson, hoping to get good news from him.
"Sir Barron, judging from the princely state of Hyderabad and other small princely states in charge, the monarchs of these princely states are still very supportive of the Governor-General and the management of British India. There is no doubt about this."
Len Wilson stood up and reported with a moderate voice, "I believe that the same is true for most of the princely states. They have always regarded British India as an important force in ensuring the order of South Asia. They are different from the Congress Party and the Muslim League.
"
Sir Barron nodded, and then John stood up and said, "The Junagadh princely state and the princely states on the west coast are also peaceful, which is much more peaceful than many areas where the Congress Party has established influence."
"It seems like things are not too bad!" Sir Barron nodded, and then said worriedly, "There is another problem. Although it has not arisen yet, we must be on guard and come up with a solution in advance. It is the governor's response to the problem.
Our expectations. How to deal with the Indian National Army?"
Sir Barron was greeted with silence. The dawn of victory was not far away, but the upcoming problems were more difficult than the last. The Indian National Army was a military organization established by Chandra Bose. At the beginning, this army was mainly composed of the Axis
It was composed of prisoners of war captured by the British Indian Army. Later, many Indians from Malaya and Burma controlled by Japan voluntarily joined the organization.
The organization's goal was to liberate India from the British, so during the Japanese occupation of Burma in World War II, it assisted the Japanese army in fighting the British Indian Army in the Battle of Imphal.
Although Chandra Bose joined the Axis Powers, he did have a great reputation in later generations. His portrait has always been hung with Gandhi and Nehru. One can imagine his own status in India.
How to face this anti-British armed force? Although no one spoke first, they all wanted to kill Chandra Bose and the entire Indian National Army.
"It's still a war period, and it's too early to talk about this matter now, but if this problem arises, it is not a good idea to use Indian soldiers to guard these so-called National Army soldiers." Burke, a senior official of Bangladesh Province, said, "
The presence of many Indian soldiers with these Axis-leaning soldiers is likely to encourage the spread of dangerous ideas, which would be detrimental to the British Empire."
"In fact, we can let them stay in Myanmar, so that they can be isolated. For most of the Indian National Army soldiers, we can take it of course that they don't exist. As for how the Myanmar people treat them, we don't care.
Q, after a few years, it will have nothing to do with us at all. There are so many things like post-war reconstruction and resumption of production. It is quite normal to forget these people, isn't it?"
Alan Wilson followed the words of the senior official of the Bengal Province and continued, "As for Chandra Bose himself, I certainly hope that he will die directly in the war, but the war is not over yet, so we can ignore him for now."
Alan Wilson proposed that tens of thousands of prisoners of war from the Indian National Army should be thrown into Burma to fend for themselves, without the need to be escorted back to India. He still knew something about Burma, the largest ethnic group in Burma, the Bamar, and most other ethnic groups.
, I have no relationship with Indians at all, and their religions are also different. Myanmar is Buddhism, and India is Hinduism.
Don't think that Buddhists must love peace. Chinese Buddhists also became enlightened and became Buddhas immediately after in-depth exchanges between the Three Martial Arts and One Sect. Burmese Buddhism has never been exterminated. It is still killing people and setting fires now.
Moreover, because of the political status and human resources of British India, when the British Empire managed colonies, it generally used South Asians to manage other colonies. Red-headed Asan’s name was even known to the Magic City Concession. Not to mention other British colonies!
During the British colonial period in India and Burma, after occupying Burma, a large number of Indians moved into Burma. At that time, the Indians not only had an economic advantage, but also occupied stronger political resources for a time. They were equal to the local Burmese in terms of religion, race and interests.
Contradictions, hostility and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable. Later, after breaking away from colonization, the Myanmar government has always held an unfriendly attitude towards Indians, such as not being allowed to join the army, suppressing related cultural customs, etc.
Alan Wilson believed that once these Indian National Army prisoners of war fell into the hands of the Burmese, as long as the British civil servants in charge forgot about them, the Burmese would most likely make these enemies of the British Empire worse than death.
Upon hearing this, Sir Barron asked meaningfully, "Oh? Will such a natural thing happen?"
"Maybe. We don't understand all the local forces. Once provoked, they may do irrational things." Alan Wilson shrugged and smiled in an uncertain tone.
"Oh, that's really unexpected." Keen, a senior official of the United Provinces, sighed with understanding, and said with a bit of disdain, "This can be considered a good thing, the entire Indian population is breeding like cockroaches, even if they
They can't even eat, and they have to mate all the time. Wherever they go, there are endless crowds of people."
