Chapter 1126: More Confusion
(For some reasons, the Green Religion Alliance was replaced by Pakistan, book friends understand)
In the southwestern coastal city of Karachi, Pakistani leader Jinnah secretly arrived here from New Delhi. The last meeting with the Viceroy of India, Victor Hope, was a disappointment for Jinnah. Although, Victor Hope promised to return power to them in five years. However, Pakistan is clearly excluded. The British supported the Congress party, not them. Pakistan's legitimate demands have not been heeded. Both the British colonizers and the leaders of the Indian National Congress were clearly negative about the establishment of an independent state by the Greens.
Under such circumstances, Jinnah and the Pakistani top brass had no choice but to put their hopes on the British. At this time, the Indian Red Army, led by the Bolshevik Party of India, became even more powerful. It has swept through the whole of central and south-central India. The strength of the Red Army in India is growing every day. In this way, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the British to suppress them. Therefore, Pakistan's top brass is also inclined to launch an armed uprising in order to win national independence.
It's just that Pakistan is not prepared at all in this regard. They lack funds and weaponry, and even less a well-trained army. If an uprising is launched, if it cannot withstand the British suppression, the consequences will be very serious. If not, Pakistan will be destroyed. And the final result of these leaders is nothing more than two, one is to go into exile and never return to India. The other is probably that he was hanged after the failure of the uprising.
Jinnah and other Pakistani leaders gathered in Karachi because they got the news. The Chinese Empire, for its part, intended to support their actions. This has greatly encouraged Pakistan, which is desperate for foreign aid. The Chinese Empire was the most powerful country in the world. If they can get the support of the Chinese Empire, then their armed uprising will undoubtedly have a great chance of success. Even the establishment of a state of Green Cultists will be a sure thing.
In a small hotel in the port of Karachi, Jinnah and the others met a representative secretly sent by the Chinese Empire, a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance. If you were in the crowd, no one would look twice. However, such a person is undoubtedly a qualified intelligence officer,
"Hello, Your Excellency, it's a great pleasure to see you here." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Hello." Jinnah's face was also full of smiles. After all, it was now they who wanted help from the Chinese Empire.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Chen Hongfei, I am a brigadier general of the Imperial Army, and I will be fully responsible for the cooperation with Pakistan this time. Of course, the premise is that we have to agree. Otherwise, I'll have to leave here and go back to China. Brigadier General Chen Hongfei said.
"General Chen, please rest assured that we in Pakistan are very sincere. We are also desperate to have the support of the Chinese Empire. Jinnah said quickly. For Pakistan, the Chinese Empire has become their last straw. If the Chinese Empire was willing to help them, then their plans would have succeeded.
"The Chinese Empire is very sympathetic to the plight of Pakistan, and we hope that it can help you. To this end, we can provide you with a sum of money and arms, and even send military instructors to train the army for you. Brigadier General Chen Hongfei said.
"It's just wonderful." Jinnah's face was delighted. What the Chinese Empire provided was what they urgently needed. To start an armed uprising, you must first have money, arms, and people. Otherwise, what would they do to start an uprising? Even after launching an uprising, what can be done to resist the counterattack of the British?
"However, we hope that after the success of your uprising, the country you will establish will be able to cooperate with the Chinese Empire. Goods from the Chinese Empire can be sold in your country at a lower tariff. The Chinese Empire can invest in factories and mine minerals in your country. The weapons used by your army must be made in China, and we will provide instructors to train you. Your police force should also be guided by us. Diplomatically, it is also necessary to be consistent with the Chinese Empire. Brigadier General Chen Hongfei said.
Jinnah's brows furrowed tightly, if that's the case, then wouldn't their country become a puppet?
"General Chen, if that's really the case, then haven't we lost the power to be independent? Ours will still be enslaved by you. What is the difference between this and the current colonization of us by the British? A Pakistani leader said dissatisfied.
"No, no. This is, of course, fundamentally different. We will not interfere in your internal affairs. In addition, we provide you with weapons and equipment, as well as loans, which you can also purchase with mineral resources. There should be nothing wrong with the Chinese Empire providing you with comprehensive support, and in such a situation, you are leaning towards the Chinese Empire, right? Brigadier General Chen Hongfei said with a smile.
Jinnah and the Pakistani leaders considered it for a while, and accepted the terms of the Chinese Empire in their entirety. For them, such opportunities are numbered. If they missed the Chinese Empire, they don't know if there would be such an opportunity.
The Chinese Empire promised to provide them with support within half a month. In terms of funds, 10 million Chinese dollars will be provided to them free of charge. After that, they can also be offered plenty of low-interest loans. As for the armament, it was transferred from the imperial army in Iran. Military instructors are also drawn directly from the local garrison. In addition, some instructors can also be drawn from the army of the Kingdom of Iran. After all, they share common beliefs and are also easier to communicate.
According to the agreement between the two sides, Pakistan will launch an uprising in two months. At this time, the Chinese Empire was to make contact with the Tamils, Telugus, and Marathas in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula. Claiming to help them get rid of the colonial rule of the British and help them build an independent country. This is undoubtedly very attractive to these oppressed peoples. They had no resistance to the support of the Chinese Empire. The Tamils, in particular, accepted the conditions of the empire in its entirety. They promised that after the establishment of their own state of their own, they would agree to the migration of Tamils from Ceylon to the Indian peninsula.
If all these peoples were to establish their own states, it would divide the whole of India. Of course, the British, who were trying to maintain their colonial rule, were also overwhelmed. They had a great time suppressing the Indian Red Army, led by the Bolshevik Party. Add to that the rest of the rebels, and that's simply unlikely.
In mid-June 4635, the first British* army arrived in India, numbering 100,000 men. Together with the 100,000 British troops previously deployed in India, they concentrated their main forces and began to attack the areas controlled by the Indian Red Army, hoping to destroy them in one fell swoop.
However, after almost two months of development, the strength of the Indian Red Army has become even stronger. Now, the strength of the Indian Red Army has broken through the 300,000 mark. From the Anglo-Indian army, they received a large amount of weapons and equipment. In addition, there is the support of the Indian nation at large. It can be said that the British army wanted to suppress the Indian Red Army, and the difficulty was not ordinary.
In late June, fierce fighting took place between the British and the Indian Red Army in central India. Although, the British army has a much stronger fighting force. However, the Indian Red Army also fought very stubbornly, which kept the British casualties high. In addition, a large number of Indians were on the side of the Indian Red Army, and many Indians spontaneously supported the Indian Red Army, and even attacked the logistics supply lines of the British army. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the British army has been greatly limited.
After half a month of fierce fighting, the British lost tens of thousands of people. Although, they inflicted even greater losses on the Indian Red Army. However, they were not able to suppress the Indian Red Army. The Indian Red Army, which suffered considerable losses, was quickly replenished. On the other hand, the British army needed to be replenished from the mainland, and it was even more difficult for the British army to suppress the Indian Red Army.
In early July, the second batch of British reinforcements arrived in India. The arrival of 100,000 fresh troops made the British begin to brew another large-scale attack. And the strength of the Indian Red Army has also grown. Even, in order to make the Indian Red Army hold out longer, the Chinese Empire secretly provided them with a batch of arms. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for the British to suppress the Indian Red Army.
In late July, Pakistan, having prepared, finally launched an uprising in Karachi. With the covert help of the Chinese Empire, they raised an army of more than 10,000 men in just two months. Although, these troops have only received simple training. However, with the main forces of the British army completely engaged in the Indian Red Army, Karachi had no force to stop them.
After the capture of Karachi, Pakistani President Jinnah announced that they would create a nation of them for all the Greens, calling on all Greens to rise up and fight. This led to a rapid expansion of the Pakistan-led army.
Almost at the same time, the Tamils, Telugus, and Marathas in the southern part of the Indian peninsula all revolted. They expelled local British colonial officials, formed an army, and declared their independence from India. (To be continued.) )
