    Miao Luo will always remember that night, the noisy ringing of the phone, and the way Yang Qiu stood beside the phone in her nightgown as if frozen.  At that time, she didn't know what was said on the phone, but she only knew that her husband was acting strangely.  One moment, he looks solemn, and the other moment, he is slightly crazy, digging out maps and searching inch by inch. There is also the constant consumption of cigarettes in the cigarette box and the repeated phone calls.

    ¡°Later she learned that Hao Wenbao and Lei Meng, who were on a mission in India, used the cargo ship¡¯s radio to send back news overnight after witnessing Gandhi¡¯s assassination.  As the future first lady, of course she knew who Gandhi was, but she did not know the huge impact of the murder of this respected Hindu father!  Even using tsunami to describe the situation in the South Asian subcontinent is not an exaggeration.

    Yang Qiu was also a little confused. Although he had imagined that India would fall into turmoil without Gandhi, he still couldn't recover when it actually came.  Why did the British not take action against Gandhi after being arrested continuously?  Don¡¯t they know how influential Gandhi was in India?  No, not at all. The fundamental reason is that Britain does not want a civil war to break out in India!  As colonists, it is a common tactic to provoke racial conflicts to check and balance each other to gain benefits. But when the situation gets out of control and racial conflicts turn into a racial war, they themselves will be injured.

    The scene Hao Wenbao saw was frozen forever.

    On the day Gandhi was assassinated, serious racial conflicts broke out in Travancore. Angry Hindus and Muslims broke into large-scale fighting. About 3,000 people died in the fighting and tens of thousands were injured.

    After the news came out, Nehru, who was presiding over the Congress Party meeting in Delhi, issued a statement strongly condemning the assassination.  He believed that this was a premeditated attempt to split India. Although he did not name anyone, he pointed the finger at the Muslim League led by Jinnah.  Jinnah, who returned to Karachi, was equally nervous. Although Yang Qiu repeatedly stated at the Langshan base that Gandhi had essentially harmed India's move toward independence, he never thought of overturning it and starting over. He always dreamed of forming a Hindu, Muslim League and  The Christian Integrity of the Great Republic of India.  But nowthe equilibrium is broken.

    "India is no longer great, only Nehru, Jinnah and other powerful figures. The vacuum in power makes it impossible to suppress many things.  There are many people who are opposed to the non-violent movement. Both the Hindus and the radicals in the Muslim League have long wanted to move this big stone and use force to expel the colonists.  Now the wish comes true.  Therefore, representatives were sent everywhere to purchase weapons and ammunition, and the entire Indian peninsula was involved.

    Britain, which had always hoped to balance the two factions and reap the benefits, was really panicked this time. It sent Chamberlain, the former Governor-General of India, as a special envoy overnight to investigate the assassination.  Thousands of officers and soldiers were withdrawn from participating in West Java as a precaution.  But when the investigation team arrived, the entire city was almost in ruins. Even the temple of the Kingdom of Travancore was affected and was destroyed by a fire.

    Whoever set the fire knew well. The Travancore royal family was afraid that the secret would be discovered, so they only blamed the rioters, but said nothing about the hugely valuable treasure inside. Maybe they thought that the treasure would not be destroyed by the flames as it was locked in the underground palace.  spread.

    But Yang Qiu did not dare to be careless, because many people knew that there was an "archaeological team" operating locally at that time, including Jinnah.  Therefore, he immediately ordered several factories to rush to produce pistols overnight, and allocated a batch of arms from inventory to sell them to Afghan tribal guerrillas at low prices.  Afghanistan has a deep relationship with the Muslim League, so this batch of arms is actually hush money for the Muslim League.

    A week later.  Gandhi's funeral was held in Delhi. Millions of Hindus came to see him off. Representatives from various countries were also sent there. As an Asian neighbor, Wang Zhengting also attended the ceremony on behalf of the Chinese government.

    But the funeral failed to calm the already uncontrollable anger. On the day of the funeral, the Punjab region took the lead in getting out of control.  Dozens of Sikh soldiers from the British and Indian divisions opened fire on Muslims while suppressing the riots, killing about 32 people and injuring hundreds more.  This aroused the anger of the Muslim guerrillas, who also successively attacked local Hindus, killing more than 70 people in Ludhiana.

    Although this unrest was quickly suppressed by the British colonial authorities, the whole world knew that the British Empire was on the edge of the cliff.

    "Report!"

    Hao Wenbao and Lei Meng saluted and stood in front of the desk.  Yang Qiu motioned to the two of them to wait a moment, and then raised his head after finishing his work: "You're back, are you injured?"

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that two brothers were slightly injured while retreating." The two of them were obviously still calmly receiving the goods. Lei Meng blushed even more: "The things have been handed over to Minister Zhang. The time is too urgent and only 5 can be opened.  An underground palace. Minister Zhang said it was about 400 million (RMB), with a total of 27 tons of gold, 19 tons of silver, 654 kilograms of gemstones and diamonds, 6 crowns, and many gold coins and antiques. That golden elephant you mentioned  "

    What Yang Qiu wants to know most now is not the golden elephant. He raised his hand and interrupted: "The situation over there"How is it?  "

    Seeing that there was not much excitement on his face, Hao Wenbao quietly pulled Lei Meng and said: "After loading the ship, we went around the coast of Kerala a few times and found that there were confrontations in many places. There are also rumors that the Soviet Union has  They sent people into India, preparing to imitate the East Indian uprising. When they were crossing the Strait of Malacca, they also saw seven British warships heading west. There were many army soldiers on board. Their uniforms seemed to have been temporarily withdrawn from Java Island."

    "The Soviet Union? Without us?"

    "How come there isn't?" Seeing that Yang Qiu was more concerned about the Indian evidence, Lei Meng also quickly interjected: "Many people are saying that we are supporting the Muslim League, especially in Mumbai, where ten out of ten people are pointing the finger.  Pointing at us, they also said that our development in Nanyang was not going well, so we gathered a large number of troops in ** and Conglingtun to compete with the British for territory. By the way, they also said that Afghanistan has also turned to us."

    Yang Qiu slightly frowned, it was true that there was no smoke without fire. Someone leaked the news as soon as they met with the Muslim League. It seemed that India was really in chaos.  Fortunately, the United Kingdom probably does not have definite evidence, otherwise Natuna and West Borneo would have started fighting long ago.

    Seeing this, Hao Wenbao knew that he was worried, and said quickly: "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, I have left two teams over there to find out the news. The Naval Intelligence Department has also sent people there, and if there is any news, it will be sent back in time."

    "You go and rest first, and then tell the soldiers participating in the operation that everything before today must be forgotten!" Yang Qiu nodded and saluted: "Thank you, the commendation will be issued soon."

    "Yes." As soon as the two people left the office after returning the salute, they almost bumped into Song Ziqing. The latter saluted and rushed into the office: "Commander-in-Chief, the president asked you to go to him as soon as possible. The British special envoy Chamberlain is here.  ¡±

    "It's really fast." Yang Qiu glanced at the calendar on the table and was secretly surprised by Britain's reaction speed this time. He grabbed his hat and walked out quickly.

    After arriving at the Presidential Palace, Yang Qiu met the famous "appeasement" leader in the living room.  He wore a small bow tie and his coat looked like it had been freshly ironed.  Like all old-fashioned British gentlemen, he remained calm and smiling even when such a big thing happened.  Yang Qiu's only impression of him was his impatient declaration: "This is the second time in history that a British Prime Minister has brought back a dignified peace from Germany. I believe this is the peace of our era."  What¡¯s ridiculous is that after this line, the German army invaded the Sudetenland, then the Czech Republic, France, and almost destroyed the British Empire.

    "Nice to meet you." Yang Qiu stretched out his hand politely.  But Chamberlain did not respond immediately, but looked twice before shaking hands and saying hello.  This is an attitude that at least shows that the British people are very wary of the Vice President of the Republic of China.

    "I'm also very happy to see you here. Before I left, I thought it might take a long trip to meet you."

    This sentence made Yang Qiu slightly stunned, because he did not expect Chamberlain's words to be so sharp.  Traveling far?  In addition to implying that Japan borders India, he also obviously said, "We suspect that you were involved in the Indian incident." Even Li Yuanhong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly changed the topic: "Mr. Special Envoy is joking. Since Mr. Gandhi's assassination and the misfortune, Chen Hua  I have always been very worried about the spread of racism in South Asia, and a few days ago I wrote an article in a newspaper to persuade various factions in India to calm down."

    "That's great. Thank you for your support of the British Empire." Chamberlain took the opportunity to step down and sit down again, but his words were still aggressive: "Mr. Vice President, I have heard some rumors. Some people say that you have ordered some thugs in our colonies to be killed.  Tens of thousands of military-style firearms were sold and we need a clear explanation for this!"

    Of course Yang Qiu will not admit it. He also believes that the other party has no evidence yet, otherwise he would not be so polite.  So he categorically denied: "Military guns? No! I don't know where this rumor came from, but I can solemnly guarantee that I have never ordered the sale of military weapons to any country that has not established diplomatic relations. Our country has always abided by international law conventions in arms sales, except  Most of the orders from various ** parties are civilian shotguns and pistols, and these are also auditable."

    In the absence of direct evidence, Chamberlain did not want to dwell on the weapons. What he said just now was just to remind the other party not to play tricks.  Since the other party denied it, he went directly to the most important topic: "Both of you, Prime Minister Baldwin is very worried about the current situation in East India and South Asia. Although the alliance between our two countries was temporarily dissolved after the war, I believe that inciting riots through nationalism should be treated  The attitude of the group is the same, because the northwest of your country also has many different ethnic groups, so he hopes that we can strengthen cooperation in this area and jointly curb division and war."

    ??????????????????????? What does it mean to join forces to fight secession and riots and to march into India?  Britain is not so stupid!  Yang Qiu frowned and looked at Li Yuanhong. The latter obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence and asked softly: "Mr. Special Envoy"Can you explain it more clearly?  "

    Chamberlain cleared his throat: "Prime Minister Baldwin hopes that our two countries will work together to overthrow the brutal Afghan government."

    Afghanistan!.
