The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1002
Nehru’s ancestor was a scholar before the Mughal emperor, and his family was an official in the Mughal Empire for generations. A bit like the nobility of the Han Dynasty in China, they possessed extremely scarce and important knowledge resources.
When Nehru’s grandfathers came to a standstill (destroyed by the Indian uprising), fortunately his father was a capable man, and he revived the family business and became a millionaire.
In terms of Nehru’s talent, he was extremely knowledgeable. He is proficient in Hindu scriptures and traditional Indian philosophy. He studied mathematics, physics and chemistry at Cambridge, and also studied humanities. He then entered the University of London to study law. In order to expand the influence of the independence movement, Nehru put forward the slogan of “go to the countryside” and went deep into remote villages to engage in movements, thus becoming proficient in dialects from all over India.
In the eyes of many Indians, Nehru is an omniscient all-round genius. People called him “Panzhida”, which means “great scholar” in Hindi.
Nehru maintained friendly relations with progressives all over the world at this time, including the bigwigs of the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of India, the diplomatic relations with New China were very close, and he was also the founder of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Until one day, the “great scholar” of India was completely inflated, and he invaded China’s territory under the greed of profit, and was hanged by the founding sages and beaten to the point of doubting his life.
In the 1940s, Nehru was still very humble and eager to learn. He was like a primary school student who asked Zhou Hexuan questions for advice, and even took out a small notebook to write down the key points.
Zhou Hexuan did not directly express his views, but asked: “Which country is the most powerful country now?”
Nehru thought for a while and said: “The most powerful military force is Germany, and the most powerful economic force is the United States.”
“Who do you think will win this war?” Zhou Hexuan asked again.
Nehru said: “If nothing else, it must have been a victory for the Allies. Despite a series of brilliant victories, Germany’s industry and economy are reaching their limits, while the English Channel and the Soviet winter have curbed its rapid expansion. Now the United States has joined in, providing a steady stream of dollars and arms, and it is only a matter of time before the Axis powers are defeated.”
worthy of being the founding leader of India, with a very shrewd strategic vision. How inflated did he have to be later, so he couldn’t figure out how to touch the tiger’s beard in the new China?
Zhou Hexuan continued to ask: “Once the allies win, which country will become the world leader?”
“America,” Nehru said without hesitation, “Britain already owes America a huge debt, and when the war is over, America will be the biggest creditor in the world.”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: “Yes, after the war, the United States will become the most powerful country in the world. But being strong is not the same as international status. The United Kingdom still retains numerous colonies, which are like cobwebs restricting the power of the United States in the world. Expansion. Mr Nehru, if you were the President of the United States, what would you choose to do?”
Nehru thought hard for a long time: “I will force Britain to give up its colonies through exchange or redemption.”
Well, this person’s political methods are just like that, and the international thinking is still stuck in the First World War.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: “If I were to be the President of the United States, I would hold the banner of national liberation, shout the slogans of justice and civilization, win over the oppressed countries all over the world, and force the old powers such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Italy to give up. Colonies! From now on, there will be no colonies on earth, all nations will be able to become independent, and countries such as Britain and France will lose the chance to turn over.”
Nehru was stunned and muttered to himself: “A world without colonies is unimaginable. However, since the United States has become the world hegemon, how can it possibly give up the colonies that are at your fingertips?”
Zhou Hexuan said: “What are the colonies used for? The plundering of resources, the dumping of commodities, these can all be replaced by other means.”
“In what way?” Nehru asked quickly.
Zhou Hexuan said: “On the basis of the allies, establish an organization similar to the League of Nations. Let’s call it the United Nations. At that time, the United Nations will be the office of the United States. Whoever the United States says is right will be just, and whoever it says is evil will be evil. If the United States wants to fight anyone, Britain, France and other countries must follow the flag and shout. For those liberated colonial countries, the United States can use political pressure, use economic means to control its resources, and dump goods to the world under the guise of a free market. This is the case. If there is, there will be no colonies in the world, but the whole world will be an economic colony of the United States.”
Nehru did not speak any more, but slowly digested what Zhou Hexuan said. After thinking for more than ten minutes, Nehru slammed the sofa and said, “Fortunately, Mr. Zhou is not the President of the United States!”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, “But it’s an opportunity for India.”
Nehru also laughed: “Indeed, America will make India independent!”
Zhou Hexuan said: “So, you should continue to be patient and help China and the United States win this war.”
“Yes,” Nehru nodded and said, “Even if other issues are not considered, as an equally oppressed nation, the Indian people have reasons to help the Chinese people. By the way, what is your Mr. Jiang’s attitude towards India?”
Zhou Hexuan said: “He fully supports Indian independence.”
“That’s great,” Nehru said happily. “When Mr. Jiang returns from the border inspection, I will definitely visit in person.”
Zhou Hexuan turned his head to Zhuo Kehua, who was doing shorthand, and said, “Mr. Zhuoke, what I said just now, please don’t publish it in the newspaper.”
“Of course, I understand this kind of thing.” Zhuo Kehua laughed.
Nehru got up and took Zhou Hexuan’s hand, sighing with great emotion: “Mr. Zhou is worthy of being an expert on international issues, your wisdom is comparable to Ganesha (the **** of wisdom and the **** of breaking barriers in Hinduism), please allow me to congratulate you. Great respect. If one day India can gain independence through the United States, then Mr. Zhou will be India’s most honorable guest!”
With what Zhou Hexuan said just now, it is worthy of Nehru’s gratitude. Nehru could do a lot of prep work and get more benefits in negotiating with the UK, at least by using it to clear out any power contenders with whom he would contradict.
“I don’t dare to compare with Ganesha, Mr. Nehru praised him.” Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Ganesha is a Ganesha, so ugly that it doesn’t fit Zhou Hexuan’s aesthetic.
The two chatted for another hour. Before leaving, Nehru sent an invitation: “Mr. Zhou is a Nobel Prize winner for literature and an Asian hero. The Indian literary community is very much looking forward to your visit. , I was also entrusted by Mr. Anand to invite you to participate in the activities of the Progressive Writers of India Association.”
Mulak Raj Anand is one of the three representatives of Indian and English literature and occupies a pivotal position in the history of Indian literature. The Progressive Writers Association of India, on the other hand, is somewhat similar to China’s “Left Federation” and “Literature Federation”, which resisted both British colonial rule and fascist atrocities.
Zhou Hexuan was gladly invited: “I am very happy to communicate with Indian writers.”
