The third bloody war of resistance, the ninth chapter, the rush, the fourth chapter, the nine days a

Since Gandhi began to instigate the Indian Empire, India has become the powder keg of the British Empire and may explode at any time. Fortunately, Gandhi has always advocated non-violent non-cooperation, and the British talents are not even more worried. After the outbreak of World War II, Gandhi once again launched a non-violent non-cooperation movement, demanding that Britain withdraw from India and allow India to win. This movement was suppressed by the British authorities again.

What surprised the British was that this suppression split the Congress party. One of the Congress leaders, Bauss, turned to armed resistance and flew to Pallin Tokyo one after another. In early 1943, the Indian People's Liberation Army was established in Malaysia to cooperate with the Japanese army. Nehru continued to promote the non-violent non-cooperation movement, calling on the people to refuse to join the British team and work on railways, ports, and military stations used by the British team. The British then arrested Nehru. This action was equivalent to throwing a spark on the dry firewood pile. The whole country of India immediately became turbulent. Many Indian people began to snatch rails, grab military stations, and attack the police stations. The British army had to run around.

Under the call of the Congress, on the front line, the British and Indian soldiers were depressed, Indian soldiers refused to fight, and captured Indian soldiers participated in Boss' People's Liberation Army. Seeing the Indian National Movement rising, this made the British panic. Fortunately, the Japanese army gave up Myanmar, and the Chinese National Team occupied Yangon India for the time being.

However, the situation in India continues to deteriorate, and Roosevelt is very worried about this. Once India is in turmoil, the Southeast Asian war situation, which has just improved, is likely to take a sharp turn. After repeated thoughts, Roosevelt decided to ask Chiang Kai-shek to come forward and persuade the leader of the Indian Congress to cooperate with the allies.

In his previous life, Chiang Kai-shek visited India shortly after the Pearl Harbor Incident in 1942. However, in this life, due to the turbulent domestic war situation, the debate with Stilwell broke out earlier, and Chiang Kai-shek did not make such a visit.

After Chiang Kai-shek received this request, he did not make a decision immediately. Gauss told him tactfully that President Roosevelt believed that the colonial issue could be discussed after the war and was discussed by specialized international organizations.

"The President believes that the colonial nations' pursuit of freedom should be fully understood by the international community, but now is the time of war, and everything should be aimed at winning the war.........

Chiang Kai-shek's leader meeting, and he immediately thought of what Zhuang Jihua told him through Soong Mei-ling that the United States was happy to see the collapse of the empire of the sun never set. Ambassador Gauss's words indirectly proved Zhuang Jihua's judgment.

In mid-July, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling led a Chinese delegation of twenty people, including Shang Zhen, Lin Wei, Wang Chonghui, and Baisi, to Cairo by India. Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek called Roosevelt and asked to meet with Gandhi and Nehru in India, hoping that the British would release them immediately, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to go to India.

When the plane landed in New Delhi, Roosevelt's huge influence played a role. Among the Indian members who welcomed Chiang Kai-shek at the airport, in addition to the British Governor Mountbatten, there was also Congress leader Nehru.

Looking at Chiang Kai-shek and his wife who got off the plane, Mountbatten felt all kinds of feelings. This war was a shameless British Empire. In the Far East, China could only stop the Japanese army. Now, after realizing its strength, this country immediately began to interfere in Southeast Asia affairs. It was announced that it would support the colonial nations in Myanmar, supported its Myanmar government, openly occupied Yangon, and refused to enter the British army. It was originally an incident that provoked disputes between the two countries, but London's protests were only on the mouth. "Even if you dare not say anything about abolishing the Sino-British alliance, he would also ask him to regulate the tension between the British government and the Congress party.

Mountbatten introduced Chiang Kai-shek one by one to welcome people from all walks of life. Chiang Kai-shek noticed that most of the Indians who came to welcome him were representatives of the Congress, which surprised him a little.

"His Excellency Chairman, welcome to visit India. I hope to have a frank and honest conversation with you..." After Mountbatten's introduction, Nehru immediately added, and he was released for no reason. Afterwards, the consul of the Kuomintang Consulate in New Delhi came to visit immediately, and he immediately understood the reason.

"I also want to talk to Mr. Gandhi, and I look forward to our meeting," Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile, but his hand tightly held Nehru: "I'm sorry, I wanted to pay homage to Mr. Gandhi, but..., pity..."

Mountbatten's face immediately turned dark, and Nehru shook his head regretfully and said, "Mr. Gandhi cannot come to greet you today. Governor Mountbatten believes that in order to maintain the British rule in India, he needs to be detained in prison..."

Mountbatten looked awkward, but Chiang Kai-shek said with great meaning:…”

Soong Mei-ling acted as Chiang Kai-shek's translator next to him, translating Chiang Kai-shek's words into English that both Mountbatten and Nehru knew.

"I and my government have always been concerned about Mr. Gandhi and your Congress' efforts to pursue India's **. I believe that Mr. Churchill and the British government are also paying attention, and I also believe that both of you will find common ground that meets your requirements..."

After Soong Mei-ling polished it, Chiang Kai-shek's words became more tactful, and both Mountbatten and Nehru could accept them.

After a brief exchange at the airport, the Chinese delegation checked into the Royal Hotel in New Delhi. In the evening, Mountbatten held a banquet at the Governor's Office to entertain the Chinese delegation. At this banquet, there were no members of the Congress party, all of them were British. The Indians who appeared on the venue had only entertained with plates.

The Governor's Mansion is built in a European style, with a dazzling marble floor, and a sky-like roof, dotted with hundreds of lights, making the whole room look magnificent.

There were not many people attending the banquet, and the long tea-shaped table accommodated more than 50 people. Chiang Kai-shek and Mountbatten sat in the first place, while Soong Mei-ling sat next to Chiang Kai-shek. After Mountbatten's speech, Chiang Kai-shek stood up and replied: "Thank you Governor Mountbatten for your kind reception. From Dunian to now, the Chinese people have fought for six years. During these six years, we have received support from the free world. I, on behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, thank you.

The Chinese people have always loved peace and freedom. We fully understand those countries and nations that are fighting for national security. The Chinese people support these nations and their struggle for national freedom. This war brings together China and Britain. There are differences and disputes between us. But when we face our common enemy, we can abandon all differences and fight for all disputes... "

Chiang Kai-shek's answer was very simple, but it clearly stated China's views on international affairs, and did not avoid "the conflict between China and the UK, and at the same time it also implied that the Myanmar issue could be resolved through negotiations. Well, here he couldn't help but look at the two Burmese people behind the dinner table, who were representatives sent by the Myanmar government, and they also wanted to attend the summit.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek's answer was published in full text in Indian newspapers. The Congress was deeply inspired. Nehru and Islamic leader Jinnah, came to visit Chiang Kai-shek the next day.

After both sides sat down, Chiang Kai-shek spoke first: "Mr. Nehru, I have always been concerned about the non-cooperation movement carried out by your party, and I also understand your strong desire to pursue national standards. We support you. "This kind of support is unconditional and costless."

Nehru was very happy and moved when he heard this. He sat upright and looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling solemnly: "We are very grateful to you and the people of your country for their support. The Indian people hope to get a chance, but the British government arrogantly rejected our request. We have no other way."

Chiang Kai-shek calmed down and understood what he meant. Nehru seemed to have guessed his purpose. After thinking about it, he said: "I noticed, I want to say that Mr. Gandhi chose not to cooperate in the movement." The purpose is to bleed as little as possible through peaceful means. I hope you can persevere."

"Pursuing ** in a peaceful way is the established policy of our Congress Party," Nehru immediately took over his words: "We hope to get ** immediately. We oppose Japanese imperialism. If the war enters India, we will definitely take on the responsibility we should bear. But we believe that "this war is an opportunity for the Indian people and an opportunity for **, so we demand that Britain should give us ** immediately."

Soong Mei-ling understood Nehru very well, but she was a little surprised. The Chinese demanded freedom and chose to resist in an armed manner, but the Indians were begging the other party to give him a gift. This was probably the different cultures of China and India. Today, Soong Mei-ling was very satisfied with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek showed the demeanor of a leader of a great power, not a simple soldier.

"Mr. Nehru, I don't think anything cannot be negotiated. The war against fascism is currently underway. Before the end of this war, China, the United States and Britain will join hands. India is the rear of the Southeast Asian battlefield and is very important in the overall strategy. Therefore, India cannot be in chaos. To maintain India's stability, the joint efforts of the British government and your party are required." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was very cautious. It is impossible to break completely with Britain under the current circumstances, but he cannot just pour cold water on Nehru. China's view in international affairs is to support the colonial nations to fight for **.

"Our party agrees very much about this," Nehru thought to himself. If it weren't for this, the Congress wouldn't have made a quick request. However, as the Allies recovered Myanmar, the importance of India was rapidly declining, which gave Nehru and his comrades a sense of urgency, so they took a stronger approach. Nehru was silent and continued: "Chairman, you are an outstanding military leader. The current situation is very beneficial to the allies. We don't have much time, and we don't want to miss this opportunity."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head slightly, obviously he disagreed with Nehru's opinion: "Mr. Nehru, I have been engaged in military activities for a long time, but I don't think your opportunity is disappearing. On the contrary, if peace comes, your greatness."

Nehru was a little surprised. He exchanged glances with Jinnah. Jinnah asked in confusion: "Mr. Chairman, I don't understand very much."

"From the general trend of the world, national ** is the world trend and unstoppable," Chiang Kai-shek said seriously: "It is a war period, and we and Britain have to face the threat from Japan and Germany. After the war is over, I think both China and the United States can provide more support to your party."

Neh once spoke a relaxed tone. He understood what Chiang Kai-shek did not say clearly. Now it is half the war. China and the United States will not provide more support except for moral support to India. However, after the war, the common enemy disappeared, and the situation was different at that time. China and the United States could put greater pressure on Britain.

"The ** movement is phased. We have also suffered countless setbacks in the pursuit of national security and freedom. Our experience is to persist, not give up, and go step by step, and we will eventually achieve our goals."

Nehru and Jinnah nodded at the same time. Chiang Kai-shek was hinting that they should not rush to get a ** in a moment. They can negotiate with the UK and give a ** timetable, so even if they achieve a phased victory.

The conversation between the two sides was always very harmonious. Chiang Kai-shek convinced Nehru and Jinnah not to confront Britain for the time being, and the negotiations between the two sides were to ensure the smooth progress of the war. Nehru accepted Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion, but handed Chiang Kai-shek a document, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek could read it at the Three Kingdoms Summit.

This request made Chiang Kai-shek a little embarrassed because the Three Kingdoms Summit stipulated the issue and this meeting must be successful. If Churchill insisted on opposing it, it would be very effective to affect the results of the meeting.

"Okay, I accept it." Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and decided to accept it. The representative of Myanmar wanted to follow the Chinese government delegation to Cairo, and it was nothing like this to spend a day discussing the demands of the colonial nations.

After Chiang Kai-shek accepted it, Nehru and Jinnah looked even more relaxed. Nehru said: "His Excellency Chairman, we hope that the Three Kingdoms Summit will issue a declaration on the colonial nations."

This problem is not guaranteed, Chiang Kai-shek looked solemn. Soong Mei-ling interrupted at this time: "Mr. Nehru, we can try to read this statement at the summit, but we cannot guarantee that the summit can make such a statement. After all, Churchill will also attend the meeting."

"We can understand," Jinnah nodded and replied, "We just hope that you can do your best to make this happen, and we will remember the friendship between the Chairman and the Chinese people for life."

Soong Mei-ling wanted to say something, but Chiang Kai-shek interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said flatly: "Okay, I will accept it, and I will do my best to make it happen."

Nehru and Jinnah were overjoyed. Before they came, they were the least sure of this request, but they did not expect that things would go so smoothly. Chiang Kai-shek accepted almost all their requests.

The development of the southwest is progressing smoothly, and China's dependence on the outside world is far less strong than in previous lives. With the successful development of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan are carried out in depth, and the domestic industrial capacity is further improved, which can meet the requirements of all military AX. It is directly reflected in the battlefield, namely the two Battles of Northern Myanmar, the Second Battle of Changsha, and the successive victory of the Battle of Northern Hubei, the domestic recovery of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Southeast Asia, and the reopening of the Yunnan-Burma line.

This series of victory made Chiang Kai-shek's confidence unprecedentedly strong. He no longer had a complete voluntary attitude towards the United States or Britain, and consciously began to guide international affairs according to China's interests.

It is precisely this confidence that he took over Nehru's request today to speak for India and colonial nations at the Three Kingdoms Summit, and to facilitate the summit to adopt a statement on colonial nations.
