Chapter 929: Go Cast for G

Natalie, the secret envoy sent by Hersman. Lesinskaya emerged from an English-made Rolls-Royce sedan, dressed in an Indian lisa dress with a veil and cinnabar on her forehead like an Indian.
The sun-drenched Indians gathered around 19 Rabramu Road saw her and all of them retreated automatically, some of them bending down in a salute that looked extremely docile and humble.
Natalie was followed by a white Indian man dressed in homespun clothes, who whispered to Natalie in English, "Ignore them, they are all lowly people, and you are a Brahmin." ā
Natalie is now dressed as an Indian Brahmin woman, and a very noble "breed" of Brahmins - the Indian caste is complex, not only divided into several large castes such as Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras and Dartlis, but also many subcastes under the big castes. Each caste has its own special costume or ornament, which foreigners cannot distinguish at all, but Indians can tell at a glance.
Natalie nodded, and continued to stride towards 19 Labrame Road. Guarding the gate were several young supporters of the National Congress Party, not untouchables, but high-caste Indians, who all nodded their heads when they saw the white Indian behind Natalie, and one of them said, "Mr. Tata, Mr. President, I have asked me to wait here for your arrival." ā
It turned out that the person who accompanied Natalie on the visit was Jahangir, the head of the Tata family. Tata. It was his idea to disguise Natalie as a Brahmin - because Mahatma Gandhi was now on hunger strike to protest against the Anglo-Indian authorities, and was so adamant that it was inconvenient for him to meet a German envoy. And Jahangir, who acted as an intermediary between the Anglo-Indian authorities and the Congress party. Tata knew that Natalie was a must-see figure for Gandhi!
So Jahangir, who was a Zoroastrian (the Zoroastrians in India were from Iran and had no caste of their own, but they had been in business for generations, they were very wealthy, so they had a high social status, and the Tata family was one of the big patrons of the National Congress Party, and the family maintained good relations with the British Indian authorities) came up with such a trick.
In the courtyard of Building 19 on Rue la Blaham, Natalie was greeted by Congress Party Chairman Jawaharal. Nehru. He was a very noble Brahmin (also very high among the Brahmin caste, the kind of person who should not wipe his butt after pooping) - just by his appearance, his skin was very white (of course not comparable to Natalie), and his face was completely Caucasian.
"Welcome, Baroness." As soon as Nehru spoke, he spoke in the cold English accent of the English aristocracy. He was noble, he studied at Harrow School, Cambridge in college, and law at London Law School. Moreover, his family has been a high-ranking Brahmin aristocracy for thousands of years, and the aristocratic temperament has long been soaked in the bone marrow, although he wears an ugly Indian homespun cloth (not buying British foreign cloth, not wearing British Western clothes is also a kind of non-cooperation), but the style shown is like a king.
"Hello, Mr. Nehru." Natalie smiled at Nehru, but remembered Chloe. Nehru's aristocratic style is a bit similar to Chloe, and Hersman, a Junker-turned-Marquis from a Junker landowner, is simply too rough compared to Nehru.
As for the little black Indians who are now gathering at 19 Rabramu Road to bask in the sun, they are completely different races from Nehru - in fact, among the Indians who are ready to accompany Gandhi to prison are noble Brahmins and Kshatriyas. But now it's August, and it's so hot in Mumbai, how can the noble brahmins and Kshatriyas bask in the sun with a bunch of sluts on the streets? Therefore, the nobles who planted good things let the servants bask in the sun at No. 19 Labramu Road instead of themselves, and when they really want to go to prison, he will naturally take the servants to report to the prison......
Can you still bring a servant in prison? This is India and not the Soviet Union, and political prisoners are already treated preferentially, let alone noble Brahmins? But then again, if the prisons in British India were the same as the labor camps in the Soviet Union, where would there still be a nonviolent non-cooperation movement?
"I heard that Mr. Gandhi is on a hunger strike?"
Instead of meeting Gandhi, Natalie spoke to Nehru in an English-style living room.
"Yes, Mr. Gandhi will not resume eating unless the British colonists withdraw from India."
Nehru's answer amused Natalie, why should the British care if an old Indian man starved himself to death?
"India is a country where a lot of people starve to death every day, right?" Natalie asked.
Nehru made a noble expression of anguish and said, "This is the reason for our struggle!" India is a country that will not starve to death until it is completely freed from British colonial rule. ā
"Get rid of Britain and no one will starve?" Natalie sneered, "I'm afraid we have to abolish the caste system and carry out land reform at the same time, so that the peasants and cultivators have their own land, right?" ā
"Of course!" Nehru nodded, "After India gets rid of British colonial rule, all kinds of social reforms will begin." ā
Nehru didn't cheat on Natalie...... At least he doesn't!
In fact, Nehru had a rather ambitious reform plan in mind, which was to establish a democratic government in India, abolish the caste system, carry out land reform, introduce a planned "mixed economy" of both public and private sectors, and establish a socialist type of society.
In his view, as long as India is reformed or reshaped according to his vision, it can become the axis of Asia!
"The reforms you mentioned in the Indian Bolshevik Party are being prepared." Natalie smiled and said, "Mr. Nehru, don't you want to go to the Bolshevik-controlled areas of India in the northwest to cooperate with the Bolshevik Party of India?" ā
"If the British kept rejecting our conditions, then our cooperation with the Bolshevik Party was an inevitable choice."
Nehru replied in a cold and calm tone, a smug smile on his lips.
When the Soviet Red Army and the People's Army of the Indian Bolshevik Party first invaded northwestern India, Gandhi and Nehru and other top leaders of the Indian National Congress Party were a little overwhelmed. Because they were not sure at the time whether the Soviet Union and the Indian Bolshevik Party would actually sweep through India and drive out the British colonists.
However, when Perleningrad became Petrograd, both Nehru and Gandhi were convinced that the Soviet Union was on the verge of becoming an unlikely threat to India. And the Bolshevik Party in India will not last long without the support of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the future India must be the world of the National Congress Party!
"So when are you and Mr. Gandhi going to hit the road?" Natalie asked.
"On the road?" Nehru was stunned, "Where to go?" ā
"Go to Peshawar." Natalie said.
Peshawar is the largest city in the Northwest Territory of India, belonging to the North-West Frontier Province and close to Afghanistan. It was occupied by Soviet troops a few months ago and is now the temporary capital of the People's Republic of India.
"What do you mean, Lady Leshinskaya?" Nehru didn't seem to understand Natalie's words.
Natalie smiled: "On behalf of His Excellency the Imperial Marshal, I ask you when you and Mr. Gandhi, and the other Congress members who are willing to fight for the independence and freedom of India, will leave for Peshawar. ā
"You...... Does the Imperial Marshal know what that means? Nehru asked, glaring.
"Yes!" Natalie nodded, "That means a decent war!" The German Empire, together with the British Empire, and all the Indian elites loyal to the British Empire, will fight against the Soviet Union, the Indian Bolshevik Party, the Indian National Congress, and all Indians who want to oppose the British Indian Empire! ā
"You're going to war with 380 million Indians?" Nehru asked in an angry tone.
"There won't be so many." Natalie said, "Do you think the Indian MSL coalition will stand with the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet Union?" ā
Hearing Natalie's question, Nehru's expression suddenly became very ugly.
Because it is impossible for the Indian MSL alliance to defect to the USSR! Because they supported the YSL Saint Seiya in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and also organized volunteers to help the Afghans fight.
Unlike the MSL coalition of India, the attitude towards Indian independence is different from that of the Congress party. The MSL is a minority and has historically had a blood feud with the Hindus. If India becomes independent and becomes a democracy, most of the MSLs, who make up a minority of the population, will not have good fruit to eat. It is also certain that the MSL coalition will never be the ruling party of an independent India in the future.
In addition, the big names in the MSL League of India, such as Aga Khan III (a religious leader who had been president of the League of Nations and was now living in seclusion in Switzerland), Jinnah, and Bhutto, were all from northwestern India and owned large lands - the MSL landlords of northwestern India were the backbone of the MSL League, and their lands were now under serious threat from the Bolshevik Party of India.
So the Indian MSL coalition did not participate in this time the non-cooperation movement led by the Congress party, and the leader of the MSL coalition, Jinnah, did not go on a hunger strike, but in the "British agent James . Bond", secretly went to Berlin to meet Hitler and Hersmann.
While Nehru was stunned by Natalie's words, Hitler and Hersmann were discussing the future of the British Pakistan Empire with the scrawny Mr. Jinnah, who seemed to be having something seriously wrong, at the Chancellery in Berlin.
In order to win over the MSL in India, Hersman put forward the plan of "MSL and Hindu partition" before Mountbatten this time, preparing to divide the Indian Empire into two and form the British Indian Empire and the British Pakistani Empire respectively.
