Chapter 1109: India Rises
In the northwestern Indian city of Peshawar, a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by slums, the pungent sour smell fills everywhere. However, in this courtyard, there were a few people sitting in the house with serious expressions. Everyone didn't say a word, but from the occasional flash in their eyes, you could see that their hearts were very excited.
These men were all leaders of the Bolshevik Party in India, including Tia Bhakta, Coats, Nambudiribad, Kondaraya and Tangi. The reason why they gathered here was that they had received the news that Roy was going to return to India and personally lead the Indian Bolshevik Party, so they rushed here. Of course, some of these leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party were not so happy about Roy's return. For example, Tia Bartók, who was originally just a newspaper editor, was just a speculation that allowed him to become one of the leaders of the Bolsheviks in India. Within the party, his position is more than symbolic. It is difficult to say whether Roy's position would have been guaranteed if he had taken over the entire Bolshevik Party in India.
"Bang bang." There was a knock at the far door. Several people hurriedly took it up.
Soon, a bearded middle-aged man walked in, surrounded by several young people.
"Mr. Roy, it's great that you're back. With your personal leadership, the Indian Bolshevik Party will certainly develop even stronger. Tia Bhakta was the first to greet him, grabbing Roy's hand and shaking violently, and his face was full of humble smiles. The moment Luo Yi returned, he had already figured it out. If you want to keep your position, you have almost no other choice than to take refuge in Luo Yi.
"Hello, Mr. Tia Bhaktar." Roy nodded and patted Tia Bhaktar on the shoulder.
Several other Bolshevik party leaders also exchanged greetings with Roy. After the formation of the Indian Bolshevik Party, it has been under the guidance of Roy. It can be said that Roy is completely the leader behind the Bolshevik Party in India.
"Hello everyone. You have done a great job in India over the years. The influence of our Bolsheviks in India is constantly increasing. I believe that it will not be long before we will be the largest political party in India. Roy said.
There are three main parties in India, the largest of which are the Congress Party, the Green League and the Bolshevik Party. Among them, the Congress Party is the oldest political party in India and has a very wide influence in India. Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and others had a huge influence in India. The Green Church Alliance is second only to the Congress Party in India, because the people who follow the Green Religion are second to the Hindu people. The Green Religion Alliance is a political party composed of these people who believe in the Green Religion, and has an irreplaceable position among the people who believe in the Green Religion. Thirdly, there was the Bolshevik Party.
"With Mr. himself leading us, this day will surely come soon." Tia Bhakta said quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before returning this time, I went to Moscow and met Comrade Stalin. Comrade Stalin attached great importance to our Indian Bolshevik Party. He hoped that we, the Indian Bolshevik Party, would succeed. So, I think it's time to change the tactics of the struggle. Luo Yi said with a serious face.
"Change of strategy?" The leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party leaders present at the meeting all looked at each other.
Since the establishment of the Bolshevik Party in 4618 A.D., there has been a dispute within the Bolshevik Party in India over the party's minimum program and strategic tactics. Frequent and fierce intra-party struggles and severe repression by the external British colonial authorities led to the fate of the Bolshevik Party in India. The Bolshevik Party of India sometimes proposed to follow the path of the October Revolution in Russia, sometimes to overthrow the regime by encircling the cities from the countryside, and at other times to declare a united front with the left wing of the Congress Party. However, none of this helped the Bolshevik Party in India to win and take power in India.
"The main difficulty before us now is undoubtedly the long colonial rule of India by the British. Their colonial rule has even numbed many Indians, and even considered it a matter of course. In the long run, India will not be able to achieve true independence. Only by overthrowing the British colonial rule in India can we truly gain independence. And there was only one way to overthrow the British colonial rule, and that was to launch an armed uprising. Roy said.
"An armed uprising?" Several leaders of the Bolshevik Party in India were frightened. That's a visit! If you get caught, you're going to be killed. At present, the Indian colonial authorities have been restricting and oppressing the Bolshevik Party. If they dare to start an uprising, they will inevitably be suppressed by force. When the time comes, they will definitely be killed.
"Mr. Roy, are we really going to do that? If an armed uprising is launched, the odds are too low. The size of the Anglo-Indian army now exceeds 500,000. If we start an uprising, we will inevitably be extinguished by them in the first place. When the time comes, we will all be killed. Nambudiribad said with a frown.
The Bolshevik Party in India, although it had a plan in this regard. However, because of the strength of the Anglo-Indian army, they eventually gave up.
"Mr. Roy, the enemy we have to face is not only the Anglo-Indian army, if we start an uprising, the British will also send troops directly to suppress us. When the time comes, it will be impossible for us to defeat those enemies. Tangi also raised his concerns.
"I know that our enemies are strong. However, if you are afraid and don't work hard, you won't be able to succeed at all. Although the Anglo-Indian army had a large number of troops. However, that's just a dirt chicken. They lack training and are poorly equipped. More importantly, the soldiers of the Anglo-Indian army were all Indians. They had long been oppressed by British* officers, and they had long been angry with the British. If we can develop our organization among them, we will be able to use this force. The total strength of the Anglo-Indian army is more than 500,000, and as long as we can absorb 100,000 of them, we have the possibility of victory. Roy said.
Several of the leaders of the Indian Bolshevik Party frowned and thought that it was not impossible to develop an organization in the Anglo-Indian army.
"In addition, Soviet Russia will fully support us. Soviet Russia and the Bolshevik International will provide us with money and arms. The first batch of funds has 5 million Chinese dollars. In the future, there will be more. Soviet Russian cargo ships will secretly transport weapons and equipment for us to train our troops. As long as you are well prepared, you can launch an uprising in one fell swoop, defeat the Anglo-Indian army, and drive out the British. At that time, India will be able to truly achieve independence, and millions of Indians will no longer be oppressed by the British. Roy said.
"With the full support of Soviet Russia, the likelihood of our success is undoubtedly much higher." Tia Bhaktar was the first to respond.
"Mr. Roy, do we have no other way than an armed uprising?" Coats asked.
"That's the only way we can do it. In India, the Congress Party has a much higher influence than we do. If there were elections, we would not have been able to outlast them. Therefore, the only way to do this was to launch an armed uprising, to defeat the British colonists by force, to drive them out. We will be able to succeed. With the help of an armed uprising, we were able to quickly overpower the Congress Party and the Green Church. In this way, we will be able to smoothly obtain state power. Roy's eyes shone with ambition.
It is obvious that only by controlling the army can we control the power of the state in the future. The Indian Bolsheviks mobilized an armed force, and if they succeeded, the Indian army would also be controlled by them in the future. When the time comes, what will the Congress Party and the Green Church Alliance do to fight them? They can even directly declare other parties illegal, as in Soviet Russia. In this case, the whole of India would be under the control of the Bolshevik Party. And he, like Stalin, can become the supreme leader of India.
"As long as we launch an armed uprising, drive out the British, seize state power. Soviet Russia will help us to industrialize quickly. When the time comes, we will quickly become a great power. No one will dare to enslave India anymore. Roy said.
Of course, Luo Yi also knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Soviet Russia could not support them in vain. However, he was not afraid. As long as India is industrialized and becomes strong, it will not have to fear Soviet Russia, let alone listen to their orders. After all, India is a large country with a population of 330 million. Second only to the Chinese Empire, it has a much larger population than Soviet Russia.
After some deliberations, the leaders of the Bolshevik Party in India accepted Roy's plan.
A month later, the Indian Bolshevik Party held a secret meeting, and Roy was officially appointed general secretary of the Indian Bolshevik Party. At the same time, the policy he formulated for launching an armed uprising was also carried out. The Bolshevik Party of India began to actively recruit members in the Anglo-Indian army in order to be able to control more troops.
At the same time, the Bolshevik Party of India, with the support of Soviet Russia, also began to secretly build up troops in the mountains of the south, so that in the event of an armed uprising, there would be enough elite troops.
The situation in India as a whole is starting to become more and more chaotic. (To be continued.) )
