1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Your Highness Fujiwara no Kanezane, since no serious harm has been done, could you please leave these criminals to us?

“Hmm?

586 India's Internal Struggle

“Hmm?

Being able to endure the pervasive smell of spices and feces in the "Indian Pavilion" until now was already a great effort by Fujiwara Kanezane. Seeing that someone else jumped out to make trouble, he was immediately even more unhappy.

But when he saw who it was, his unhappiness quickly turned into an urge to stir up trouble, and he deliberately asked Gandhi:

"Mr. Gandhi, this is..."

"Ah, let me introduce you, this is my right-hand man and friend, Jawaharlal Nehru..."

That’s right, it was the guy who was famous in China as “Brother Ten Days and Ten Nights”, the one that even the instructors in full form found extremely “tricky”.

Nehru had become a leading figure in the Indian National Congress. At a time when Gandhi was drifting further and further away from the so-called "young radicals" within the Congress and was on the verge of splitting from the party, he was actually leading the Congress.

Although Nehru had quite different views from Gandhi on some political and economic issues, he did not give up his identity as "Gandhi's successor" and continued to stand together with Gandhi on core issues such as anti-colonialism.

“Oh, it’s Mr. Nehru.

Fujiwara nods and asks politely:

"So, what does Mr. Nehru mean? Handing the person over to you? What are you going to do with him?"

"These sinners..."

Nehru looked at the two bastards who were still whimpering but had their mouths covered by their companions and said viciously: Bastard,

"We will handle this according to your country's laws, and there may even be more severe local penalties. Don't worry, we will not show any partiality and will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Hearing this, the non-Indians present generally thought it was just a polite remark, but Fujiwara Kanezane noticed that the Indians who participated in the gang rape and attempted to violate the agent trembled almost at the same time, and fear and despair unconsciously appeared in their eyes.

Obviously, this kind of "local punishment" is definitely much more cruel than the legal punishment of the Five-Star Eastern Republic.

After all, as Nehru said, from a legal point of view, these people can only be considered as "attempted rape" at most, plus "restricting the personal freedom of others and damaging other people's property." If they are really sentenced, the maximum sentence would be three years.

If one just wanted to vent one's anger, it would definitely be better to hand the criminals over to the Indians. However, Fujiwara no Kanezane made such a big fuss not just to vent one's anger.

Moreover, how could a country's legal power of punishment be casually ceded to outsiders as a bargain?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Nehru.

Fujiwara Kanezane shook his head:

"Your punishment is your own business, and we have no right to interfere. However, our country has its own laws. Since a crime was committed on our soil against our citizens, we must first accept our investigation and trial.

What this means is that we cannot hand over the person to you before he is tried and convicted. If you want to punish him, you have to wait until we punish him first. We will not interfere with each other.

Nehru, who had been living a smooth life and thought he had been "suffering in silence" from the beginning, suddenly became unhappy.

As a high-caste Indian who had received a modern education, Nehru certainly knew that publicly dragging an official servant of another country into a room and gang-raping him, or even fighting over the gang-rape, was a crime, extremely shameful, and would cause a huge diplomatic crisis.

Therefore, when he learned about what happened, his first reaction was to have the door closed tightly and order his own followers and those of Boss to release the people immediately. At the same time, he wanted to comfort the victims and see if he could suppress the matter quietly so that it would not be known to outsiders.

As a result, the victim could not understand the Indian curry-flavored English, Bose, who had always looked down on Gandhi, was not present, his entourage refused to give in, and Fujiwara Kanezane outside actually broke into the room.

With Gandhi and Roy both speechless, Nehru had no choice but to step in and offer what he considered a very suitable "solution" to avoid the issue from becoming public.

what?

After Fujiwara no Kanezane's men broke in, there were already a bunch of outsiders watching the fun at the "Indian Pavilion." Would the news leak out soon?

It doesn't matter. As long as those people aren't taken away and put on public trial, and as long as we refuse to admit that this happened, everything will be fine!

Unexpectedly, Fujiwara Kanezane refused to accept even this perfect plan that he thought was "good for you, good for me, and good for everyone." Nehru's face immediately darkened:

"Your Majesty, India plays a vital role in the Greater East Asia region. I hope Your Majesty will seriously consider our sincere request.

The implication is that if you want to establish the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", you cannot do without us, India.

吗!

Since India is indispensable, how dare you be so disrespectful?

Be careful, we won't play with you anymore!

Brother Shuangshi, ah, Brother Shuangshi, you really are worthy of being called that.

As expected, the five copies of the last five permanent members in later generations will never be as good as the sixth permanent member - "The Maggot of the Sea of ​​Dung".

Who gave you the courage to threaten me like this on my territory, in front of my people, when I was in the right?

Um?

Look in my eys!

Tell me!

I thought about it for ten seconds and still couldn't figure it out!

Fujiwara Kanezane raised his hand slightly to stop some of his companions who were more irritable, and said with a smile:

"India? Which country in the world today are you talking about? Why have I never heard of it at the UN General Assembly?"

Nehru's face suddenly became even uglier.

Nonsense, India is not only not an independent country, it is not even a "country", but is still just a traditional geographical concept given by the British;

During this period, only the so-called "Indian upper class" like Nehru, out of considerations of various interests, promoted the so-called "India Nation" everywhere, but the outside world and the lower classes of India had no idea what "India" actually was!

In other words, what Fujiwara no Kanezane meant was that you are not even an independent country and have no right to play at the table. What "value" or "status" or "importance" are you talking to me about?

Nehru, unable to refute, could only stiffen his neck and say:

"The British will get out of India sooner or later! India will become independent sooner or later!

"So you also know that India is still under the control of the British..."

Fujiwara Kanezane continued to laugh:

"Then why did you come to attend the Greater East Asia Conference this time?"

Although Nehru and others were invited by Fujiwara no Kanezane, the purpose of India's participation in the Greater East Asia Conference, which was still under the British control, was known to the whole world:

Their purpose was to seek foreign aid, allowing the increasingly influential Japanese (Fujiwara no Kanezane) in East Asia to confront the British head-on, and then seize the opportunity to accelerate India's independence (Britain had already agreed to India's independence at this time, but was just delaying it...);

If we follow the normal process and "international rules", Fujiwara Kanezane should have gone to the British to discuss the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt instead of the "Indians". But now, he skipped the British and went directly to the "Indians", which in itself is a huge support.

"Well"

Nehru finally realized what was happening.

It seems...it seems...maybe...probably...that we are begging others?

Although Nehru in later generations was definitely the type who would say, "China, kneel down and kowtow to me, I beg you to spare my life," he was not yet so arrogant as to speak to Fujiwara Kanezane in this way.

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss issues like who's begging whom or who needs whom, because that's not the main point of my hosting this Greater East Asia Conference."

Seeing that Nehru was also speechless after being refuted, Fujiwara no Kanezane said something resoundingly:

"Mr. Nehru, Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Roy, since you came to Shenyang to help India achieve independence faster and to completely get rid of British slavery and oppression, why do you condone the oppression and humiliation of others here?

Although he knew that such words as "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" would be of no use to Indians, Fujiwara Kanezane still had to say them in order to create an image and occupy a moral high ground.

As long as the image is there, it will be easier to get support if you need to "print" it someday!

"good!

"good!"

"well said!"

Before he finished speaking, three cheers came from different directions almost simultaneously.

The most recent one is from Luo Yi.

His expression was even a little excited.

As a communist who has always firmly believed that "rape is violence of the bourgeoisie against the proletariat", Fujiwara Kanezane's words really touched his heart.

It smells so much like communism!

Even if Fujiwara no Kanezane was not a communist, he was at least a communist sympathizer!

Even though the other party is a Japanese prince, undoubtedly a feudal leader, he has power, money, soldiers and prestige!

This is really great news for achieving Indian independence and even the liberation of East Asia!

As for the other two cheers, they came from the direction of the gate.

One of them was Subhas Chandra Bose.

The bald man with glasses first looked at an Indian who was cheering in the crowd with a little surprise, then strode into the room, glared at the offending followers with murderous eyes, and bowed to Fujiwara Kanezane.

"Mr. Fujiwara, my subordinates have committed unforgivable crimes. Please sentence them strictly according to your country's laws. I have no objection, but I have only one request.

"Oh? What's the request?"

"Please do not carry out the sentences after you have passed them. Hand these criminals over to me, and I will personally execute them publicly as a punishment!"

Boss did not expect that after the martial law was lifted in the morning, he happily went to visit the military exercises and training of the invincible army that shook Asia as planned. While he was deeply shocked, he received the news that his own people had made a mess, and he had to rush back in anger.

He didn't think rape was a big deal. The main problem was that these people had seriously violated the orders he had repeatedly emphasized before leading the delegation on the trip: "Be cautious in your words and actions, strive to make friends, and win support!"

Damn it, putting aside the diplomatic conflict and whether or not it's a crime, now we're begging the Japanese to support us, help us build our army, and even form an alliance with us to fight the British, and you can't even control your dick and offend others to death!

If you don't die, who will?

Amidst the trembling despair of several followers, another man in a suit with a square face, a wide forehead, round-frame glasses, and a look very similar to Boss stepped out of the crowd and said to them, especially one of the darker-skinned men, in a serious and disappointed tone:

road

"Yes! You deserve to die! After getting rid of your status as a pariah, the first thing you do is to oppress ordinary people like you?! Shameful behavior! You really should go to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer eternal fire!!"

After saying all this, the visitor extended his hand towards Fujiwara no Kanezane:

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Fujiwara. I am a little late.

"It's not too late, not too late at all, Mr. Ambedkar, welcome to Shenyang.

Fujiwara Kanezane smiled and shook hands with the man who had actually come to Northeast China a long time ago and was just walking around doing research and had just been staying in the crowd watching the show. Just this one action completely won the other party's favor.

why?

Because this person's name is BhimraoRamji Ambedkar.

Compared to Gandhi, whose father was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Bose, who came from a family of senior bureaucrats and wealthy landowners, Nehru, whose father was a knight and a lawyer, and Roy, whose father was a traditional Hindu priest, Ambedkar's origin was extremely humble.

He was born in 1891 in Madhya Pradesh, British India. He belonged to the Mahar caste, a member of the untouchable class, or "untouchable" in Hinduism. When he was a child, he almost starved to death because of the great lack of virtue of the British.

But what is surprising is that such a low-caste untouchable, who should have spent his whole life in poverty, became the first person of untouchable background in India to get a bachelor's, master's, doctoral degree and lawyer through his own efforts with the support of some enlightened teachers.

Compared with the above four people, Ambedkar is not very famous in China, but as the "Father of the Nation of India" who was "forced" to be posthumously awarded by the Indian government in 1990, many of his views and opinions are still quite useful for realizing some of Fujiwara Kanezane's strategic ideas.

In fact, the moment they saw Ambedkar appear, Gandhi, Bose and Nehru all looked nervous and realized in an instant that they might encounter considerable trouble at this Greater East Asia Conference.

Because Ambedkar's attitude towards the three of them was not particularly friendly.

Especially towards Gandhi, it was simply hostile.

After the signing of the Poona Accord last year, the relationship between the two deteriorated to the extreme.

(Gandhi went on a hunger strike to oppose the British granting of "separate voting rights" to the untouchables (although it was obvious that the British had bad intentions), but Ambedkar firmly supported it)

Ambedkar publicly declared:

Gandhi's move was "a betrayal of the Indian people", "a complete surrender", "he never understood the suffering of the untouchables", and "calling the untouchables 'sons of God' was the ultimate insult and a hypocritical show".

In his 1933 Public Statement, released in July of this year, he simply exposed one thing: "Gandhi only wanted to keep the untouchables at the bottom of Hindu society, rather than truly liberate them. Not only could he not unite anyone, but he would only deepen or divert the contradictions."

Ambedkar believes that Gandhi is essentially a spokesperson for the interests of the upper castes. Although he speaks loudly, he does not care about the interests of the untouchables at all. He only wants to maintain the Hindu order and use the guise of "non-violence" to paralyze the nerves of the untouchables and cover up the reality of caste oppression.

No matter how "non-violent" or good-tempered Gandhi was, he could not tolerate Ambedkar attacking him in this way. Historically, the verbal battle between the two continued until the death of both of them.

Ambedkar openly criticized Bose, who was known for his radical anti-British stance and had just founded the Indian Independence League, advocating a full-scale armed struggle against the British:

"Nationalism cannot solve the caste problem; it is just another form of stimulant and anesthetic. Even if independence is successful, the untouchables will still be oppressed by the upper caste ruling class. Such a revolution is just a change of masters - from the British to the Brahmins."

"Upper caste men raping lower caste women is a form of colonial oppression older than the British. There is no political independence without social revolution, only a rotation of oppressors."

In Ambedkar's view, Bose placed too much emphasis on the use of force and was too radical. He kept calling for armed independence but did not pay attention to the caste issue. He was completely unable to free the untouchables from oppression.

Regarding Nehru, who had always followed Gandhi and advocated "socialist independence" as soon as he became the leader of the Congress Party, Ambedkar believes that:

"Nehru understands neither the proletariat, nor socialism, nor the untouchables... He is constrained by the conservative factions of the empire's major parties and is unable to achieve genuine reform. He can be an ally, but his willpower and ability to execute are highly questionable."
