Gandhi was really willing to shed all his blood for India's independence. However, this does not mean that other Indians are willing to do the same. Just outside Gandhi's sight, a batch of cloud-type rifles were being distributed to a group of Indians. .
Among the people in charge of distributing guns was a woman wearing a sari and a headscarf. If it were Ouyang Yun here, he would immediately exclaim: "Lian Yun, why is it you?"
Yes, this woman is Gu Lianyun, the eldest of the five Ouyang Yun women.
Gu Lianyun has been staying in Karachi these years. Her work is not limited to maintaining China's largest overseas military base. As a female agent of the former military commander, intelligence work is her old profession and the one that best reflects her. capable, and the reason why the CIA's Southeast Asia Bureau has been able to achieve a series of achievements in recent years is due to her early layout. It also benefited from this layout. When the CIA responded to the request of the Supreme Command, it prepared to When India was "making trouble", Gu Lianyun took over the job without hesitation.
The Governor-General of India was Louis Viscount Mountbatten, who was not in the Government House at this time. When he received a call and learned that the Indians had launched a march and were gathering towards the Government House from all directions, given his experience, he thought it was Another "non-violent non-cooperation" movement by the Indians, so he didn't take it too seriously.
"Check who planned it. If it's Gandhi's people, then be tougher; if it's Nehru's people, wait until I come back." Only the Congress Party in India can plan such a large-scale demonstration. Ability, and if it is the Gandhi faction of the Congress Party, Mountbatten does not think it is worth making a fuss about (it can be seen that Gandhi’s non-violent non-cooperation is far more popular among the British than Nehru’s violent resistance). Of course, in view of the local He was planning to use troops against China, and it was still very important to maintain India's stability, so if he thought about it, he would need to meet with Gandhi or Nehru once, and even give a verbal commitment.
Due to the butterfly effect, the direction of Indian history in this time and space is a bit biased. This bias is not only that Indians no longer simply seek independence through the "non-violent non-cooperation movement", but the process is also lagging behind.
In that time and space, the Mountbatten Plan had already appeared. However, in this time and space, the so-called Mountbatten Plan was just an idea in Mountbatten's mind and was far from mature.
Ouyang Yun asked the CIA to do things in India. On the one hand, he wanted to distract the British. On the other hand, he hoped to prevent the British from borrowing India's power. India's military strength is admittedly not good, but there are many Indians. Ah, it just so happens that now, China is already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, so Ouyang Yun has to worry about the "carrot pulling" effect of qualifying. And if the dignified China is finally defeated because of India sending troops, it is estimated that he will also become a shame in the cross-border world. .
One of Gandhi and Mountbatten did not want to "bleed" and the other thought that there would be no "blood". However, the result was that Mountbatten had only reached halfway when he heard intensive gunshots and explosions coming from the direction of the Government House. "What's going on?" Sitting in a car, Mountbatten straightened up suddenly, "Why is there a fight?"
"Your Majesty the Governor, how about I go check it out first? Maybe, maybe the guard misfired," said his captain of the bodyguard.
As the gunshots came, Mountbatten clearly felt that the crowd around the car had become chaotic. He opened a corner of the curtain and saw the excited Indian crowd outside. Many people were clenching their fists and shouting something, with expressions on their faces. The mood changed suddenly, and he told the driver: "Find a place to stop, Quinn, you can find a phone booth and call to inquire about the situation."
The car stopped at an alleyway. Quinn got out of the car. A quarter of an hour later, he was sweating profusely and squeezed into the car. He angrily reported to Mountbatten: "Your Excellency, something bad has happened. Armed thugs are attacking the Governor's Mansion." In order to attack, our defenders are fighting a fierce battle with them. Because you are not here, Colonel Gill of the garrison does not dare to make any independent claims and does not take military action. He hopes to get your instructions."
The British had a garrison in New Delhi. Its size was originally one British Army division plus three Indian retinue divisions. However, after the New Delhi Conference, the British had to deal with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan (yes, they were dealing with it, because the British They are still self-aware and know that with their little strength in Asia, they are no match for the Chinese National Defense Forces that have been fighting on the front line. Therefore, although they have mobilized their troops, they do not expect any actual results) and will eliminate all of them. Most of the troops have been transferred to Bangladesh. Now, there is only one regiment of the British Army Division in New Delhi, and there is only one brigade of the Indian Retinue Army Division, and Gill is the supreme commander of these two forces.
"Colonel Gill can be contacted now."
"Yes, armed thugs did not cut the phone lines."
"Let him enter the city immediately for deterrence. This is a sensitive period and we must control the development of the situation."
In view of his understanding of the Indians, Mountbatten still believed that as long as Gill moved his troops into New Delhi, the situation would be under control. However, in only half an hour, he knew that he had miscalculated.
Suddenly, more intense gunfire sounded from the southwest of New Delhi. Mountbatten immediately ordered the car to stop. Then, he asked Quinn to call the Government House, but Quinn told him that the phone could not be reached.
In the past, as soon as the British troops entered the city, even if the Indians participating in the demonstrations did not immediately disperse, they would never dare to use violent means to resist. In many cases, it was the British who pointed their guns in the air. In one fell swoop, a large number of Indians sat on the ground.
Today is destined to be an exception, because what Mountbatten, Gandhi and Nehru didn't know was that there were at least a hundred agents bribed by the Chinese mixed into the parade, and these were used by Gu Lianyun in the name of Indian populism. The armed Indians, whose only mission today is to act as human powder keg, will make things worse at all costs.
Therefore, even if Colonel Gill is a general person and knows that he must not misfire at this time and cause the situation to be out of control, but when his people are shot dead again and again, he can still Sticking to the bottom line, how could his veteran British soldiers withstand such teasing? As long as a British soldier opened fire on the demonstrators, the next development of the situation would be beyond his control.
