The sun never sets.

The resistance in Bengal was easily suppressed.

"What do they want?"

After hearing that the Alliance was carrying out "land reform" in Bengal, Chandra Bose was shocked and angry. The previous joy he had felt over the Alliance's failure had long disappeared without a trace.

"Isn't it obvious? The league wants to transplant their system to India."

“Isn’t this what we wanted to do but couldn’t do?”

"Land reform will kill a lot of people...but we have to pay this price."

Chandra Bose slapped the table and said, "This is not a question of price, but a question of India's sovereignty! Land reform can be carried out in India, but this can only be done by ourselves!"

What he said made sense, but many people disagreed with it, which made Chandra Bose even more disappointed. Many of the senior leaders of the BJP had been to Chang'an and received training from the Alliance, and were the so-called "pro-Alliance faction". After Chandra Bose turned to the trade unions, the "pro-Alliance faction" was suppressed a lot. Now that the trade unions seem unreliable, the "pro-Alliance faction" will naturally launch a counterattack.

Because of the recent deterioration of the situation, some comrades who are relatively neutral in political stance have also turned to the "pro-Alliance" side. Although the Alliance has always adopted a policy of suppressing religious forces, it does not say that religious beliefs are completely prohibited. At most, you can be an "atheist" at get off work and worship God after work.

As long as you have a flexible moral bottom line, everything is possible.

"The People's Revolutionary League not only controls the roads and ports, but also takes over the local government. What do they want to do? It's clear that they want to annex India!"

Chandra Bose's tone was filled with grief and indignation. "Did we make such a great sacrifice to drive the British away just to have another master riding on our heads?"

A murmur came from the crowd, "Aren't the British back again?"

After hearing this, Chandra Bose was upset. He shouted angrily, "Who? Who said that?"

There was a buzzing sound in the crowd, but no one stood up. The BJP inherited the tradition of internal fighting in the BJP. The line struggle is so cruel that people are often knocked down because of it, and many people lose their lives. However, from another perspective, internal fighting ensures the vitality of the party and prevents it from becoming stagnant. As long as the struggle is concentrated in the middle and high levels of the party, the brutal line struggle is actually a good thing and can effectively reduce the problem of entropy increase.

Chandra Bose probably doesn't understand these principles yet, because no one will tell these cruel facts to everyone. Can Lin Yongchang publicly declare that he wants to purge the bureaucracy from time to time? Even if he really wants to do so, he must say something like "punish the past and prevent the future, cure the disease and save the people".

"Comrade Chandra, losing your temper won't solve the problem. Why don't you tell me what we should do now?"

Chandra Bose took a moment to calm himself down, then said: "First, the alliance should be asked to stop taking over local governments. I think this is the most basic requirement."

When the alliance provided assistance to India before, it was really good. Large quantities of weapons, equipment and food were given to Indian comrades for free. They were taught hand in hand how to build a regime and run a country, and they were also helped to train military and political cadres. It was completely the behavior of an old big brother who was loyal to each other.

But when the alliance found that the Indians could not solve the problem themselves, they acted directly and decisively. Since the Indians could not solve the problem, the alliance would take action themselves.

After the People's Army entered Bangladesh, it took over all power. Officials and others who refused to cooperate were either thrown into prison or shot. The style of the Human Reform League was completely different from when it was Big Brother before, and this change scared many people.

"What if the alliance refuses to accept our request?"

Chandra Bose's expression became increasingly gloomy. "If that is the case, we must expose the People's Revolutionary League's despicable behavior of practicing imperialism in the name of revolution to the international community."

The commotion in the crowd grew louder, and someone shouted, "Comrade Chandra, are you going to go to war with Germany and the Alliance at the same time?"

"Ah, if we do this......"

"We're going to be defeated, right?"

Chandra Bose slammed the table again. "If we fail, we will resort to guerrilla warfare!"

"........."

"........."

The commotion among the crowd was getting louder and louder. If there was no other way, who would be willing to fight guerrilla warfare? Do you really think fighting guerrilla warfare is that simple? Besides, the current situation is not yet at the point where we need to fight guerrilla warfare, right?

After the meeting, Chandra Bose arranged for someone to go to Dhaka to find out what the alliance was trying to do. Was it to divide India with Germany? Or did it just want to teach the BJP a lesson? The alliance's attitude would determine India's fate.

This is the tragedy of small countries, they will always become pawns in the struggle between big countries. India is not a small country, but this country is divided into pieces and has no unified regime, and it still cannot avoid the fate of being manipulated by big powers.

The BJP envoy soon arrived in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and met with a leader of the alliance in Bangladesh.

Finally, the person in charge clearly replied: "No, the League has no intention of dividing India with Germany."

The messenger felt relieved, as long as it was not the worst option.

"The central government believes that in order to solve various problems in India, it is necessary to take over for a period of time. In addition, most people in Bengal believe in Islam, and there are deep conflicts between them and Hindus in other parts of India. It is necessary to separate Bengal and establish an autonomous region to separate Muslims and Hindus to avoid religious conflicts."

"........."

Chapter 791: Standpoint

The League said that it established the Dominion of Bengal in order to avoid religious hatred, but in the eyes of the People's Republic of India, this was a precursor to the League's annexation of Bengal.

"The Alliance has torn off its disguise and revealed its greedy and shameless true face!"

The same thing will be seen differently by different people. The League believes that they are liberating the people of Bangladesh, while many people in other countries believe that the League is swallowing up its neighbors.

Of course, there are also many people who welcome the arrival of the Alliance, especially those at the bottom of society who are almost suffocating under the heavy burden of life and even struggling on the brink of death. They eagerly hope that the Alliance will come as soon as possible and save them from their tragic fate.

Chandra Bose was angry about the alliance's splitting of India and annexing Bengal, but he could do nothing about it. He could not really lead his troops to fight guerrilla warfare. If it really came to that, most of the people gathered around him would disperse, and maybe someone would want to take his head in exchange for fame and fortune.

"Yingluck, has the alliance said how to solve the Indian problem? They don't really want to swallow up the whole of India, do they?"

Yingluck was the envoy sent to Dhaka earlier, and he was also "pro-Alliance". "The Alliance believes that we need to retreat temporarily and take a defensive stance first, and only launch a counterattack after completing land reform in the liberated areas, restoring the economy to normal operation, and training the army."

"............The Alliance is willing to provide assistance to our country?"

Yingluck looked around and said with a smile: "Not only will there be aid, the alliance will also provide guidance to our country!"

As long as the alliance is willing to help, the People's Republic of India will not perish. But what does "guidance" mean? Is it what everyone thinks?

Yingluck gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, the alliance will temporarily manage our country until the whole of India is liberated!"

Some people didn't like this suggestion very much. India also has nationalism, and naturally dislikes the alliance extending its hands too far. But more people just felt excited. Can they regain the whole of India? Isn't this what they have always pursued? As for other things, it won't be too late to talk about it after the whole of India is liberated.

Chandra Bose frowned and asked: "How will the problem of the Bengal Dominion be solved? Will it return to India in the future?"

"The meaning of the union is that three states will be established on the land of India, namely Bangladesh, the People's Republic of India and Pakistan, based on factors such as religion and language."

“This is dividing India!”

"No, it makes sense. Isn't it true that there is killing between Hindus and Muslims? Isn't there constant friction between Buddhists and Hindus? I think it's a good thing to carve out Bangladesh and Pakistan to accommodate the Muslims."

".....what about Buddhists?"

“Comrades in the League say let the Buddhists go to Sri Lanka.”

Chandra Bose and some others were not very satisfied with this arrangement, but the current situation did not allow them to reject the will of the alliance, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts. The most important thing at present was to repel the enemy's attack and keep the People's Republic of India alive. Existence was everything, and everything was for existence.

Yingluck looked at Chandra Bose and the others, then asked, "Comrades, do you have any other opinions?"

There was a murmur among the crowd, but no one objected. Even the most stubborn people had to admit that without the help of the alliance, the People's Republic of India would soon become history. How excited they were to get rid of the alliance before, how lonely they were now.

Even Chandra Bose was forced to make a self-criticism at the conference, saying that his previous decision was impulsive and immature, and ruined a good situation.

But can Chandra Bose be blamed alone?

At that time, the League urged the Indian comrades to take steady steps and not to try to become a big fat man in one go. The trade unions encouraged them to move forward in big strides, to drown the enemy with a torrent of revolutionary power, to cleanse the old world and then create a new world.

Young people cannot stand agitation. Those who now criticize Comrade Chandra Bose for his adventurist mistakes were mostly those who supported abandoning the alliance and embracing the trade unions at that time, but now they act as if what happened then had nothing to do with them.

Perhaps it is because he realizes that he has been on the wrong path that he is so eager to distance himself from it?

Do they really understand what is right and what is wrong? If the People's Republic of India with the help of trade unions bulldozed the Indian subcontinent, who can say they were wrong?

However, they lost not only the entire Madhya Pradesh, but also suffered a series of setbacks at the hands of the enemy.

The answer was almost lost, so I had to admit the mistake of the previous route.

Chandra Bose saw everything that happened clearly, and it was precisely because he saw it clearly that he accepted the conditions given by the alliance. Everything is subject to change, and he should stay low for the time being in order to rise up in the future.

Well, this was just an excuse Chandra Bose made for himself. The route he chose had failed, and many people had already turned to the "pro-Alliance faction". Even if he wanted to stop the Alliance from controlling the People's Republic of India, he no longer had the strength to do so.

As the People's Army poured into India, the situation in Bengal and eastern India first became tense, and then quickly stabilized. The League adopted military control in Bengal and East India, dividing the range of activities for most people, and those without letters of introduction would have difficulty moving.

What the alliance had to do was not only to stabilize the local situation, but more importantly to repel the invading enemies, including the Republic of Madras, the Dominion of India, the Royal Princely States Alliance, and the real powerful enemy - the German Army.

Because of the deployment to India, the alliance's military expenditure this year has reached a new high. The large amount of funds that could have been used for construction were allocated to the Ministry of Defense and turned into more weapons of war. The UN forces were pulled out of the corner of history by the Military Commission, cleaned up, and put back into use.

The United Nations Command was set up in Chittagong to unify the management of the troops sent to the Indian battlefield by various countries, including the army, navy and air force.

Finland, Mongolia, Ryukyu, Siberia and the Southeast Asian countries all need to send troops and share part of the military expenses. This is their obligation. Enjoying the security protection provided by the alliance, these member countries need to contribute to the alliance's war.

No matter how many troops there are, even if it is only a battalion of troops, they must be sent out. This is a reflection of our position.

Chapter 792: Power

Since its establishment, the People's Army has always adhered to the tradition of building up superiority in manpower and firepower on local battlefields and fighting annihilation wars rather than battles of crushing. This set of principles can be applied not only in strategy but also in campaigns, tactics and combat.

Not long after the United Nations Command was established in Chittagong, it submitted a combat plan to the central government: defend on the northern and central lines, and concentrate forces to liberate Sri Lanka first.

Sri Lanka is located in the Indian Ocean south of the South Asian subcontinent, facing India across the Palk Strait in the northwest. It has a tropical monsoon climate, close to the equator, with summer all year round, and no four seasons. The terrain is high in the middle of the mountains and low in the coastal plains around, with a total area of 65610 square kilometers.

After the collapse of the British Empire's world hegemony, Sri Lanka became part of the Royal Princely Union. The reason why the United Nations Command chose Sri Lanka as its primary target was, on the one hand, because of its important geographical location, and on the other hand, because there were many Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Compared with Islam, Buddhism seemed so harmless to humans and animals.

In the past few years and even hundreds of years, Buddhists in Sri Lanka have been the objects of oppression. As long as this place is liberated, a Buddhist country on earth can be established in Sri Lanka, and the royal princely state alliance can be forced to withdraw from the war.

The Alliance has control of the sea in the Indian Ocean, and it will not encounter much difficulty in seizing...liberating Sri Lanka. Compared with launching a counterattack from land and pushing all the way to Kerala, using the navy to blockade Sri Lanka is undoubtedly much easier.

This combat plan requires a large number of ships, including warships, transport ships, and landing craft. During the liberation of Southeast Asia, the Alliance once conducted an amphibious landing operation in Pahang. Although many problems occurred during that landing, it also accumulated a lot of experience for the Alliance. Landing craft were developed after that.

The Central Military Commission studied the battle plan sent by the United Nations Command overnight. After dawn, the comrades of the Military Commission reached a consensus that Commander-in-Chief Xu's idea was feasible. The Military Commission agreed to the plan of the United Nations Command and would write to the Navy Department to order the Indian Ocean Fleet to cooperate with the United Nations in the battle.

In late October 1927, the Indian People's Army in Madhya Pradesh collapsed across the board, with more than half of its troops lost, and retreated to Bihar and Jharkhand in a panic. Although half of the troops were able to return, they lost most of their heavy weapons and a large amount of supplies. The troops who withdrew had no morale and no combat effectiveness.

During the Battle of Bhopal, the Indian People's Army and the British and French Allied Volunteer Army actually fought very well. Relying on the defense facilities in cities and towns, they fought bloody battles with the enemy for dozens of days, causing more than 30,000 casualties to the German army, forcing the German General Staff to send reinforcements to India twice.

The German army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Bhopal, and the Indian army suffered several times more casualties. Having paid such a great price, the Germans said nothing could make the Indian People's Army regroup. Therefore, they ignored the warnings of the People's Revolutionary League and brazenly crossed the termination line drawn by the alliance, bringing the war to the east of Madhya Pradesh.

The alliance immediately announced the formation of a volunteer army - the United Nations Army and the German army in India were both called the Volunteer Army - and the People's Army, ready to fight at any time, set out from Burma, crossed the Alagga Mountains, and entered Bangladesh. As a result, the war on the Indian subcontinent entered a new stage.

The first batch of troops of the People's Army entering India exceeded 2200, with a total of 700 artillery pieces, 3000 tanks and more than aircraft. This powerful army quickly stabilized the situation on the front line and stopped the enemy's advance.

Wait

On November 11, the UN sent a fleet to blockade Sri Lanka. Subsequently, the Marines launched an amphibious landing with the support of naval guns and aircraft. The Marines equipped with amphibious tanks quickly defeated the enemy near the landing site, occupied the beachhead, expanded the landing site, and occupied Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.

Two infantry divisions landed at the open landing site and attacked from the north and south, occupying the whole of Sri Lanka in the next four days.

The landing of the United Nations forces in Sri Lanka was beyond the expectations of many people, and brought new changes to the situation on the Indian battlefield. European and American powers generally recognized that the People's Revolutionary League was a land power, but they did not have a very accurate understanding of the alliance's naval power. Most people only thought that "the alliance navy was very strong", but did not know how strong it was.

The main battleships of the Alliance Navy are not the best in the world, and are slightly inferior to those of the US Navy and the German Navy, but the strength of the Alliance's light warships and auxiliary ships is far superior to that of the German Navy. The Alliance has the world's largest destroyers and the world's second largest transport fleet. From South America to Australia, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Laptev Sea, from the Bering Sea to the Black Sea, there are Alliance merchant ships, transport ships and fishing boats everywhere.

The German General Staff had always regarded the large army of the Allies as an enemy, and somewhat ignored the Allies’ navy. Even though there had been a series of achievements such as the victory at Leyte Gulf, sweeping across Southeast Asia, landing in Australia, and forcing the US Navy to retreat, Germany still did not believe that the Allies’ navy could threaten the German High Seas Fleet.

After all, the imaginary enemy of the German High Seas Fleet has always been the British Royal Navy. In the eyes of the German Admiralty, the navies of other countries can only be regarded as second-tier.

However, after the Battle of Sri Lanka, the German government suddenly realized that the Allied Navy had grown to a level that was comparable to the German High Seas Fleet. In terms of destroyers and aircraft carriers, the Allied Navy had even left the German Navy behind.

In order to deal with the huge ground forces of the Anglo-French Alliance and the People's Revolutionary League, Germany had to invest a large amount of money in the army to maintain the training of the regular army and reserve forces, and the research and development of new artillery, tanks and aircraft.

During the World War, the German army lagged behind Britain, France and other countries in the research, development and manufacture of rapid-fire guns and tanks, and its aircraft industry was not as good as that of enemies in another camp. In terms of weapons and equipment, what were noteworthy were long-range artillery and heavy howitzers, as well as the development of various poison gases.

The Alliance has the most powerful tank research and development and manufacturing capabilities in the world, and has incorporated a large number of tanks and transformable vehicles into the Polish Military District and the Baltic Naval District. The imminent threat has forced the German government to invest a lot of money and resources in army equipment, so the investment in the navy cannot be high.

In the Battle of Sri Lanka, the aircraft carriers of the Allied Indian Ocean Fleet played an important role. The carrier-based aircraft taking off from the deck provided air cover for the landing troops and also searched for the German Navy's warships, enabling the Allied Navy to respond early.

The German Navy did not intend to engage in a real battle with the Allied Navy. At first, they just wanted to cause some trouble to the People's Army that was landing. However, they were discovered by the Allied carrier-based aircraft just after they left the port. Not only were several surface warships discovered, but even the submarines underwater were tracked by aircraft.

At this time, the German surface fleet and submarine forces had not yet seen the Allied German forces. If a fight really broke out, the Lianmengguo Navy could take the initiative and sink the German warships and submarines in the warm Indian Ocean.

The German Navy Department then discovered the important role of aircraft carriers, but Germany failed to obtain the blueprints of aviation components from the alliance, and everything had to be explored from scratch, which made Germany's aircraft carriers only exist on paper. But the main reason was that there was no money. Without money, it could not build a test ship with existing technology. The German Navy Department did not want to waste money and had to wait until the engineers came up with a mature plan before starting construction.

And there is still a long time before that day comes.

Chapter 793: The Results

The German Navy found that they had fallen behind without realizing it. While the High Seas Fleet was obsessed with powerful super-dreadnought battleships, the Alliance had already built four aircraft carriers, while the German Navy was still struggling with issues such as closed hangars and open hangars.

Being closed has its advantages, and being open has its advantages. If you want to know the specific advantages and problems caused by them, you need to build at least one ship of each type for experiment. However, the German Admiralty has always disagreed with such a lavish approach. After the Battle of Sri Lanka, perhaps the Germans will change their minds.

The alliance's brazen invasion of Sri Lanka irritated the German government. Many German high-ranking officials believed that it was necessary to strengthen the naval power in the Indian Ocean, otherwise the alliance could bombard the coastal cities of the Republic of Madras at will and land anywhere.

The Madras Republican Army and the German Volunteer Army were mainly supplied by sea, with less than 40% of ammunition and other supplies shipped from land. With the Allied Navy ready to bombard the port of Mumbai, it was almost impossible for the German army to win.

“Does the People’s Revolutionary League really dare to bombard Mumbai?”

"If they had the upper hand in the battle on Indian land, they would not have risked a full-scale war by bombarding the port of Mumbai. But if the People's Army was defeated and the situation was critical, anything could happen.

It’s possible.”

".......It is necessary to strengthen the defense of Mumbai. It would be best to send a powerful fleet there."

"And our submarines! Deployed along the coast of India, they can threaten the Bay of Bengal and the Burmese Sea."

"That's right. We can't just take the beating without fighting back. We also need to have the means to threaten the [People's Revolutionary League] at night."
