    India, Delhi, an ordinary three-story building.  Although the building looks nothing special from the outside.  However, the plaque of the Indian National Congress written in English at the gate makes this place a very important place.  This is the headquarters of the Indian Congress Party.  Originally the headquarters of the Congress Party was in Bombay, but after the Governor-General of India adopted a strategy to win over Indians, the Congress Party openly moved its headquarters to the capital Delhi!

    The Indian National Congress Party was founded in December 1885 by Hume, a retired British civil servant, and advocated the struggle for India's national independence. However, as India is the most important British colony, the British cannot hand over the power to manage India.  To the Indians. Therefore, the British colonial authorities took a severe crackdown on the Congress Party and even banned the party. Many members of the Congress Party were also arrested by the British colonial authorities. However, after the outbreak of the world war, China  As the threat from India became more and more serious, the British colonial authorities began to win over the Congress Party in an attempt to tie all Indians onto the British chariot. To this end, the Governor-General of India, Baron Harding, did not hesitate to ask the Indian National Congress  The leaders of the major parties said that after the world war is over, as long as China can be defeated, Britain will allow India the greatest degree of autonomy. The British government's concessions made the leaders of the Indian National Congress very happy.  The evil Chinese prefer the British masters. Even though the British masters have exploited India for hundreds of years and committed heinous crimes in India, the Indians do not want to end up with the same consequences as the natives of Southeast Asia. Therefore, they chose to  British cooperation.

    The Indian National Congress Party has a very large influence in India.  When the Congress Party reached an agreement with the British colonial authorities, they called on Indians to join the British-Indian Army to resist the imminent invasion from China.  Moreover, the Congress Party spread the story of China's massacre of indigenous people in Southeast Asia throughout India, which seriously demonized China's image in the minds of Indians.  In order to avoid being slaughtered by the Chinese like pigs and dogs, many Indians responded to the call of the Congress Party and joined the British-Indian Army. This is why the Governor-General of India was able to mobilize an army of tens of millions in a short period of time.  The reason for the team of people.  Even though the combat effectiveness of these British and Indian troops has yet to be tested, the scale of tens of millions of people is always very scary.  If you look at the number alone, it is twice as much as the total strength of the Chinese Army.

    The size of the British-Indian army has expanded to tens of millions, which also makes the British government very reassured about India's defense.  They believed that even if the British and Indian troops could not defeat the Chinese, they could at least hold them back.  In this way, it can effectively hold back the strength of the Chinese army.  After they win the European war, they can concentrate all the power of the world to besiege China.  However, the British government obviously imagined all this too well.  When the battle begins, they will know that everything will not be as beautiful as they imagined!

    The current leader of the Indian National Congress is Tilak Bal.  Gangadhar.  Tilak.  The leader of the Indian bourgeois national movement and the leader of the petty bourgeois radical wing of the Congress Party is a strong orthodox Hindu, proficient in Sanskrit, and a famous scholar, historian, politician, strategist and organizer.  He was born into a small landowning family of the Maratha Brahmin family.

    ¡°Compared to the radicals, there is another moderate leader in the Congress Party. He is Mahatma Gandhi.  Gandhi's full name was Mohandas.  Karamchand.  Gandhi opposed any violence and advocated the resolution of all disputes through tolerance and peace.  Gandhi was a devout Christian who believed deeply in doctrine.  Therefore, he created a unique way to fight for the independence and liberation of the Indian nation, called the "Non-violent Non-Cooperation Movement". The "Non-Violent Non-Cooperation Movement" includes two parts: "Non-violent resistance" and "Non-violent Non-Cooperation Movement" and "Non-violent Non-Cooperation Movement"  "Non-cooperation" attitude. The specific contents include: resigning from public offices and titles granted by the British; not participating in any gatherings of the colonial government; not accepting British education and replacing the public schools of the British rulers with self-established private schools; not buying British goods¡¤  Don't wear British clothes, spin and weave your own clothes; don't buy British government bonds, don't deposit money in British banks, etc.

    Both Tilak and Gandhi were leaders of the Congress Party.  However, after the British colonial authorities extended an olive branch to the Indians, Tilak changed his original extreme position and began to cooperate with the Governor-General of India.  With the support of the British, he became the leader of the Congress Party.

    Apart from Tilak and Gandhi, Ali.  The All-India Muslim Federation established by Jinnah also has broad influence in India.  Among the 300 million people in India, in addition to 200 million Christians, there are 100 million Muslims.And Ali.  Jinnah was originally from the Congress Party.  It was only later that the All-India Muslim League was formed to represent the interests of the upper-class bureaucrats, landowners and bourgeoisie of Indian Muslims.  In opposing British colonial rule, the Congress Party and the Muslim League adopted a cooperative approach.  Even though there were frequent bloody conflicts between Hindus and Muslims, this did not prevent the two parties from uniting.  When the British colonial authorities wooed the Indians, the Muslim League was also wooed.

    When the Congress Party called on Indians to join the British-Indian Army to resist the Chinese invasion, Ali.  Jinnah's Muslim League also chose to cooperate with the British.  The condition offered by the British for this was that after defeating the Chinese, Muslims could be allowed to share more power in India after autonomy.  Of course, Ali.  Jinnah wanted a Muslim nation.  But from now on, this plan is still a bit far away.  But as long as India becomes autonomous, there will always be other ways.

    At this moment, in Tilak's office, these three Indian leaders are gathering together to analyze the current situation.  Tilak is 66 years old. He is wearing a white robe and a white turban on his head. He has a fat figure and looks like a wealthy Indian.  Gandhi, on the other hand, wore simple coarse cloth clothes and was skinny. Although he was only 53 years old, more than ten years younger than Tilak, he looked as if he was much older.  As for Ali.  Jinnah, on the other hand, was dressed in a white shirt and suit, looking like a scholar.  He is only 36 years old this year, much younger than Tilak and Gandhi.  In addition, there was a young man standing behind Gandhi. He looked like he was in his early twenties, looking at Gandhi with admiration.  He is none other than Jawaharlal, a loyal follower of Gandhi.  Nehru.

    "Everyone, I have received accurate information. The Chinese navy has blocked the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Laccadive Sea. The connection between India and the United Kingdom has been severed. In the border areas, the Chinese army has basically mobilized  Done. It is estimated that the Chinese will attack us soon! This time, we must call on all Indians to rise up against the Chinese. Only by resisting the Chinese attack can India have hope!" Tilak said first  .  Although Indian autonomy was not his goal, his goal was to achieve complete independence of India. However, in the struggle with the British colonial authorities, he knew that nothing could be achieved overnight and had to be done step by step. Wait until  After defeating China, the British kept their promise and allowed India to achieve autonomy. Then they would find a way to separate India from the British and become an independent country!

    "We have called on 13 million people to join the British and Indian Army. Together with the troops sent by the British from the mainland and other colonies, there are a total of 14 million people. The Chinese are now fighting bloody battles with the Americans.  They also have to deploy huge armies in Central Asia, Siberia and West Asia. There shouldn't be many troops they can use in India!" Ali.  Jinnah said.  Everyone knows very well that although China's population is twice that of India, China has not expanded its army.  The army currently only has a few million people.  Therefore, when the size of the British and Indian troops expanded to tens of millions, they already had great confidence in defeating the Chinese.

    "We cannot underestimate the Chinese. More than 20 years ago, China was just like us, a country enslaved by Western powers. But in just over 20 years, they have become a world power.  And we still had the upper hand in this war. It may not be so easy for us to defeat the Chinese!" Gandhi was a little cautious.

    "Mr. Gandhi, you are worrying too much! If we 300 million Indians unite, we will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese! After defeating China, we will be able to build a country belonging to Indians!" Tilak said with longing.

    "Mr. Tilak, what should we do if the British repent? Didn't the British treat us like this before?" Jawaharlal, standing behind Gandhi.  Nehru suddenly asked.

    "Hmph! Don't let the British deceive us again this time. We Indians are not easy to bully. I have begun to secretly contact the Indian officers in the British and Indian troops to ask them to step up their control of the troops. After the war is over, we will also  We have enough troops. If the British want to repent, then we will use force to drive them out of India!" Tilak said decisively.  In fact, this was the fundamental reason why he was willing to cooperate with the British colonial authorities!
