Chapter 1119: The Indian Uprising

Once war breaks out, the whole country must serve the war and do its best to win it. Therefore, the industry of the empire had to be transferred to a wartime system after the outbreak of war. In this way, it will be possible to fully burst out the war potential of the country.

In another time and space, the United States has the largest industrial output in the world. However, in the early days of the war, after being attacked by Japan, the United States was defeated and retreated. Because of their huge industrial output value, they cannot be transformed into war strength in the first place. As a result, the United States almost lost the entire Pacific Ocean. If it were not for the fact that Japan made many mistakes in the war and that Japan's industrial strength was too weak, it is difficult to say whether the United States would have been able to defeat Japan.

At this time, the empire's industrial output has surpassed that of the United States, and if the empire can take a surprise attack at the beginning of the war, destroy the American naval power in the Pacific in one fell swoop, and launch an attack on those industrial bases and shipyards on the west coast of the United States, this will further weaken the war potential of the United States and buy more time for the empire. In the future, the Empire's odds will be further improved.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In the event of a war, the Imperial Cabinet will fully cooperate with the military. Industry, transportation, and other industries will fully cooperate with the military to ensure that the empire wins future wars. Prime Minister Yang Du said.

Although, entering into a wartime system, it would harm the industrial development of the empire, and the power of the cabinet would also be limited. But who cares about that during the war? Winning the war is the most important thing. Otherwise, once defeated, the consequences will be very serious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the future war will be a test for the Empire. However, I believe that in future wars, the Empire will be able to win. Victory must be ours. Wu Haoxuan said.

"The Empire will win!" The military and political ministers of the empire all said firmly.

The preparations for war in the Chinese Empire were carried out in secret. The Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force began to change their outfits, all of which were kept strictly secret. This is not clear to the Western powers. Although, they are aware of the growing tensions in the international situation. All have more or less strengthened their armaments. However, it did not go all out to prepare for war like the Empire. This gives the empire a greater advantage in the event of a war.

Of course, the reason why the whole world has not focused on the Chinese Empire is because of other reasons.

In April 4635, after more than a year of preparation, the Bolshevik Party of India decided that the time had come to launch an uprising. In the past year, the Bolshevik Party of India has made great efforts to recruit members, and has made a big splash among the Anglo-Indian army. A significant part of the Anglo-Indian army was already in control. This led them to believe that if they started an uprising, they would have a good chance of success.

On April 15, in a slum on the outskirts of Mumbai, the general secretary of the Indian Bolshevik Party, Roy, summoned the top brass of the Indian Bolshevik Party to discuss the time and place of the uprising.

"Comrades, I am very gratified that in the past year or so, our party has developed very rapidly. In terms of influence, we are no weaker than the Green Alliance, second only to the Congress Party. Our influence in the military has far surpassed that of the Congress Party and the Green Cult Alliance. The international situation was now becoming more and more tense, and the Bolshevik International believed that the time had come for us to launch an uprising. Therefore, we need to launch an uprising as soon as possible. Roy said.

"Comrade Secretary, wouldn't it be too hasty to launch an uprising now. In the past year, we have built up a secret army of a few thousand men. Moreover, we have a serious shortage of heavy weapons. If you start an uprising rashly, you may be crushed by the enemy. Coats said with some concern. After all, compared to the Anglo-Indian army and the British, their strength was too weak. If they are suppressed, then their efforts will be in vain.

"No, Comrade Coats. Although our strength seems to be weak, we are not without advantages compared to the Anglo-Indian army. There are already many people in the British and Indian armies who have been affected by us. If we revolt, they will be able to win it over. In this way, we will be able to achieve greater victories. Roy said.

"Yes, Comrade Secretary is absolutely right. We have developed a lot of people in the British and Indian armies. If we revolt, we will get a response from them. When the time comes, we can crush the Anglo-Indian army in one fell swoop, win the uprising, and establish a state in India under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party. A country free from oppression. Tia Bhakta said.

"In addition, in the event of an uprising, we can announce the abolition of the caste system and the colonization and oppression of the Indian people by the Western colonizers. We will definitely be able to get more support from Indians. When the time comes, it will not be a problem to win the uprising. Roy insisted.

The rest of the Bolshevik leaders in India nodded their heads in agreement with Roy's view.

"Well, since everyone has no objections. Then, in half a month we will launch an uprising! Roy said.

"Do you have any opinions about the location of the uprising? There are currently three locations to choose from, one is Mumbai, one is Kolkata, and the other is Delhi. Roy said.

"Comrade Secretary, you can't choose Delhi. It was the seat of the British colonial government, where they had a deep influence and where they were at their most militarily powerful. It is not only a key place for the British and Indian armies, but also an important city for the British Army to be stationed. If you start an uprising there, it will be quickly suppressed. Nambudi Ribad said.

Roy nodded, then dismissed Delhi's option.

"Comrade Secretary, neither can Calcutta. For centuries, Kolkata was the seat of the British Viceroyalty in India. The compatriots there have been completely tamed by the British. We will start an uprising there and there will be no response. Instead, it is possible to fall into the encirclement of the British. Kondaraya also suggested.

"So, now it seems, are we the only ones who have to start an uprising in Mumbai?" Roy asked.

"Yes, Comrade Secretary. Mumbai is the best option. It is the largest industrial city in India and has a large number of workers. And we, the Bolshevik Party, had the greatest influence among the workers. In addition, it is located on the coast, and it is easy to get support from Soviet Russia. If we succeed in revolting here, we will be able to extend our influence to the whole of India. Tia Bhakta also said.

"However, Mumbai has its limitations. We are revolting here, and the British can quickly suppress us. They could mobilize a large number of troops by sea. Roy frowned.

"Comrade Secretary, the only way is for us to lead the insurrectionary to the interior of India after the success of the Bombai uprising. Both the Indus and Ganges rivers have large populations. We, the Bolshevik Party, have also gained tremendous growth where we have been last year. If you go to those places, you have a good chance of success. Tangi suggested.

Luo Yi thought about it for a while and adopted this opinion: "Just do it." Half a month later, we launched an uprising in Mumbai. After the success of the uprising, send the rebel army to attack inland, expand our territory, and develop our power. In this case, even if the British and the Anglo-Indian army want to suppress us, it will not be so easy. ”

"Yes, Comrade Secretary." The other leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party nodded their heads.

After the Bolshevik Party of India decided to launch an uprising in Bombay, they began to speak of sending the main forces to Bombay. With the help of Soviet Russia, the Indian Bolshevik Party trained a group of workers' pickets, totaling more than 5,000 people. The workers' pickets were issued rifles, light machine guns and a small number of heavy machine guns and mortars. Although there were no heavy weapons, the British and Indian armies also lacked heavy weapons. What's more, these workers' pickets, brainwashed by Bolshevism, had absolutely the will to fight above the soldiers of the Anglo-Indian army. If it is against the British and Indian forces, it may not be defeated. Of course, if the Anglo-Indian army mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, it would be different.

On April 30, 4635 A.D., in Mumbai, a large number of armed elements stormed the Mumbai police station and seized the guns in the arsenal and distributed them to more people. The city government was also occupied. The telegraph office, the port, etc., also quickly fell into the hands of this gang of armed elements.

The officials of the British colonial government were dumbfounded one by one and were easily arrested by these militants.

At noon on the same day, the secretary of the Indian Bolshevik Party, Roy, announced in Bombay that the Indians oppressed by the British colonizers would launch an armed uprising from now on, with the goal of driving out the British colonists and liberating all the enslaved Indians.

The workers' pickets, controlled by the Bolshevik Party in India, also developed rapidly. There were many workers in Mumbai, who were exploited by both the British colonizers and the native Indian capitalists, and their lives were very difficult. The uprising of the Bolshevik Party in India gave them a glimmer of hope, and everyone joined the Bolshevik Party of India one after another.

Two infantry divisions of the Anglo-Indian Army stationed around Bombay entered Bombay to suppress the uprising of the Bolshevik Party in India. However, a large number of soldiers of these two Anglo-Indian infantry divisions defected, turned their guns, and cooperated with the workers' pickets to attack the Anglo-Indian army, resulting in a great defeat for the Anglo-Indian army. After a day of fierce fighting, the Bolsheviks defeated the Anglo-Indian army and took full control of Mumbai. That evening, Roy declared Mumbai independent. (To be continued.) )
