Chapter 678: "Strong" Nepal (Part I)


s: There was a bug in the last chapter.

I made a mistake in the number of Jews.

It was less.

So the number of Jews in Jewish Gujarat should be 7 million and the number of Gujaratis should be 12 million The Indian subcontinent is currently one of the most densely populated regions in the world.

Maratha has a population of about 100 million, Pakistan has a population of about 35 million, Mysore has a population of about 19 million, Orissa has a population of about 19 million, Jewish Gujarat has a population of about 19 million, and Karnati has a population of about 17 million. , Tamil State has a population of about 13 million, and Bengal Gypsy State has a population of about 4 million.

The population of Sri Lanka is approximately 1.8 million.

Including Nepal's population of just over 10 million, the total population of the subcontinental countries before World War II was approximately 240 million.

In this land of less than 3.3 million square kilometers, 240 million people are crowded.

In fact, in the history of the original time and space, this population number was higher, close to 400 million.

As for this plane, due to the Spanish Flu, World War I and the subsequent colonial independence movement, which lasted for nearly ten years, the population has shrunk significantly compared to the original time and space.

But it hasn't stopped for a few years now, and this hot spot has begun to become noisy again.

There is no way, there are too many contradictions in this land, including national, religious, class, and any social contradiction you can think of, you can find it here.

Some of these contradictions are issues left over from history, and some are deliberately created by "We, the British," in order to facilitate their rule.

In the past, it was okay to have Britain suppressing it, but now Britain cannot protect itself.

How can it still suppress it?

With the operation of some thoughtful people, this powder keg has exploded.

Originally, this war was just an internal strife among the nine Indian states, but now Nepal, which has been watching the excitement for a long time, finally couldn't help it and came to an end.

Of course, this does not mean that Nepal is looking for trouble.

Since its establishment, the Democratic Republic of Nepal has been constantly at odds with the British and Indian authorities.

The conflict between the two has long existed, and the main issue is the legacy of the Sargaoli Treaty.

You know, including the later generations of the original time and space, the map of Nepal we see has actually been cut off.

The rectangular territory is actually only one-third of their original territory.

The other territories were cut off by the Sargaoli Treaty. .

In 1814, the British-Indian Governor-General Hastings launched the Anglo-Nepal War, which the British called the Gurkha War, in order to seize the Ganges Plain area in Nepal.

At that time, the British army concentrated 240,000 troops, equipped with modern guns and artillery, and invaded Nepal in five groups.

While Nepal asked for help from China, it assembled an army of 120,000 people to fight.

The war was extremely fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

In the end, Nepal failed because it was outnumbered and Chinese reinforcements did not arrive.

After the war, Nepal was forced to sign the unequal Sargauli Treaty and ceded two-thirds of its territory to India.

However, the cruelty of this war also shocked Britain and gave up its plan to continue conquest by force.

Shortly after the war, King Gilda died of smallpox, and was succeeded by his 2-year-old son Eugenedra.

Queen Mother Lalita and Prime Minister Bhimsentapa ruled.

In order to regain lost territory, unequal treaties were abolished.

Prime Minister Bhim started Nepal's first modernization reform.

In order to deal with the British, Beam contacted France, the British's mortal enemy.

With the help of the French, Nepal established a modern military factory, reformed the military system, vigorously developed trade and established industry.

However, all this was naturally resented by the British.

Under the instigation of the British, Bhim was killed by his political enemy Rana Zhongge of the Pande family.

After Bhim's death, Nepal fell into civil strife again.

But the British were not at ease, and they finally selected the Gurkha soldier Jung Bahadur Rana as their agent.

In 1846, Zhongge Bahadur Rana launched a coup, killed more than 400 prime ministers, generals, and ministers, seized real military and political power, proclaimed himself prime minister, abolished King Yugendra, and established King Surendra as a puppet.

From then on, the Rana family became hereditary prime minister and began a military dictatorship that lasted for more than seventy years.

During this period, the Rana family implemented an obscurantist policy internally and loyally obeyed British imperialism externally.

This resulted in Nepal's social stagnation and economic backwardness, and it gradually became a British protectorate.

In the history of the original time and space, Nepal was in a state of decline.

The rule of the Rana family would continue until the 1950s, and the subsequent chaotic political situation would not subside until the beginning of the 21st century.

But in this dimension, Nepal's history took a sudden turn because of Wen Desi's intervention.

Since its establishment in 1910, the Nepali People's Party, which China single-handedly supports, has vigorously developed at the grassroots level.

After the outbreak of World War I, taking advantage of Britain's inability to intervene, the People's Party, which had developed into the most powerful force in Nepal, launched an armed uprising in September 1918, overthrowing the military dictatorship of the Shah dynasty and the Rana family.

On October 8, Girija Chanda, leader of the Nepali People's Party, announced the dethronement of the monarchy and the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Nepal that implements scientific socialism.

On October 12, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it recognized the regime and established diplomatic relations with it.

With China's strong assistance, the newly born Democratic Republic of Nepal is carrying out social revolution from top to bottom.

At the same time, its economic construction is also booming under the guidance of Chinese experts.

Nepal is extremely rich in mineral resources, especially copper, which is most lacking in China.

There are 18 million tons of reserves here, more than 200 million tons of magnesite, more than 4 million tons of lead ore, and a world-class super Large uranium mines.

Let’s not talk about other mineral deposits for now.

These few items alone are enough for Wen De Si to spend all his money to support them.

Therefore, after the establishment of the new regime, the entire Nepal changed drastically within ten years.

From a country suffering from extreme poverty and constant civil strife, it has become a powerful country.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Nepal had established a modern standing army of 120,000 people, an air force of 30,000 people, and a very complete reserve system.

If general mobilization was implemented, they could draw more than 800,000 troops.

Moreover, this force uses a full set of Chinese-style equipment, and its technological level and performance are no less than the main armies of other top powers, and even inferior to the colonial forces of the British and Indian authorities.

As the saying goes, "With a sharp weapon in hand, a murderous intention arises."

Seeing that their country's national power is booming and that there is a Godzilla-level boss behind them, the hawks in Nepal have begun to raise their heads.

They strongly demanded the abolition of the unequal treaties imposed by Britain and the regaining of lost territory.

At that time, Wen Desi had other considerations, so he did not directly come forward to support it.

He just asked them to talk to the British first.

The arrogant British people will naturally ignore their requests.

No matter how opium cattle decline, it is not something that your little country can do anything about.

Later, they simply used the excuse that Marat is already an autonomous state and you can talk to them about whatever you want.

However, Marat is also dissatisfied with Nepal.

If you say it is yours, it will be yours.

If you call it, will it agree?

Go to hell, so the relationship between the two parties is very bad.

Now India has begun to fight internally again, especially Marat, which directly occupies their territory.

It is like five dragons making trouble in the sea.

The five forces are fighting together, and they have already lost their minds.

Seeing this situation, Nepalese people cannot sit still.

President Girija personally went to Hanking to ask for instructions from Wen Desi.

The situation now is different from that of the past.

Wen Desi also felt that the time was ripe, so he agreed to the Nepalese plan.

Therefore, as soon as President Girija returned, he issued an ultimatum to Marat, requiring them to agree to Nepal's territorial claims before 8 o'clock on April 30 in exchange for about 300,000 square kilometers of territory including the Ganges Plain.

The Maratha government is so overwhelmed now that it has no time to pay attention to their ultimatum.

Besides, many of the land demands in Nepal are under the control of other forces, and the Marat government cannot hand them over even if it wants to agree.

An hour after the ultimatum expired, at 9:00 on April 30, 1942, more than 230 fighter planes of the Nepal Air Force crossed the border and launched an air attack on the Maratha side.

This is the beginning of this melee known as the "Nima War".

Pokhara.

Pokhara is the second largest city in Nepal and the most famous scenic spot in Nepal.

The place is located in the Pokhara Valley at the foot of the southern slopes of the Himalayas in central Nepal, about 200 kilometers east of Kathmandu.

The place is 900 meters above sea level and has a climate similar to that of Guangdong.

The basic terrain is low mountains and hills, with wide and flat river valleys.

In the original time and space, roads were not opened until 1970, and tourism gradually emerged after that.

However, in this plane, the tourism industry here has been greatly advanced.

In 1920, a road was built here, and in 1926, a railway built from China was also connected here.

Currently, there are three pillars of Nepal’s income sources: mining first, medicinal materials second, and tourism third.

Life is getting better for the Chinese people.

Since the 1920s, there has been a tourism craze.

If domestic travel is not enough, we have to go abroad.

The allies of the People's Revolutionary League were naturally the first choice.

Among them, the most went to Japan and Siam.

You know the reason: they are full of warmth and want money.

Nepal ranks third, but most of them are formal tourism.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Bangkok, Pokhara is much quieter.

In particular, it is located in the Himalayan valley, nestled under the snow-covered Annapurna Peak and Fishtail Peak, and next to the charming Peva Lake.

The lush vegetation and the magnificent snow-capped mountain scenery form a strong contrast, making it the most popular place among Chinese people.

One of the popular tourist places in Nepal.

Since the late 1920s, it has received hundreds of thousands of Chinese tourists every year.

Captain Sharma drove his beloved car slowly on the streets of Pokhara.

I saw that the surrounding streets were filled with shops selling souvenirs and souvenirs, and various Chinese signboards were hung all over the city.

According to Nepal's current laws, Chinese is the first foreign language and Chinese is the second script.

According to regulations, all signboards and road signs in Nepal must bear Chinese characters.

This small town has a population of less than 50,000, and its industries basically serve the Chinese.

Chinese tourists can be seen everywhere on the streets of the city.

It is easy to distinguish between Chinese and local people.

As long as you see people with neat clothes, fair skin, rosy complexion, confident expression, polite temperament and a vague sense of arrogance, they are probably Chinese.

"Hello, Mr.

Officer."

A tourist came over and greeted him generously.

"Hello sir" Captain Sharma stopped the car.

"What's the matter?"

Sharma graduated from Chengdu Aviation College, and his Chinese proficiency will not be a problem for such daily conversations.

"Can I borrow a fire?

Sorry, I dropped my lighter," the tourist said with a smile and a natural expression.

"Okay" Sharma took out a lighter and handed it over.

"Thank you," the tourist said smoothly after lighting his cigarette and looking at his car.

"Oh, it's Ruyi.

This car is pretty good.

My car is also Ruyi, Ruyi 320."

"Yes, I also like this kind of car.

My 310 can be fully charged in ten minutes and can run 600 kilometers on a single charge.

I heard that the Ruyi 320 is even better," Sharma replied with a smile.

His car is a Ruyi 310 electric sedan produced by Huaihe Automobile Group Company.

Most private cars in China now are electric cars or natural gas hybrids.

Influenced by China, electric vehicles are now popular in many countries around the world, especially countries lacking oil such as Germany and Japan.

They are promoting this thing more vigorously than China.

Two people who didn't know each other before started chatting about the car.

After a few minutes, the two said goodbye.

"This is the weather in China.

Look at other people, no matter who comes out, they are so generous and generous, neither arrogant nor humble," Sharma said to his comrades in the back seat with some emotion.

Second Lieutenant Barma was his wingman pilot.

When he heard this, he said: "I am from China, so of course I am so confident and calm.

If I were a human, I could do the same."

Being an officer is a very prestigious profession in Nepal.

Coupled with the country's deep-rooted caste system tradition, ordinary civilians keep these Kshatriya masters at a respectful distance and dare not approach casually to say hello, let alone borrow a fire or chat.

Yes.

Even though the new government has completely abolished the caste system and carried out a drastic campaign to change customs, this long-established custom cannot be easily reversed.

Now that civilians have seen him, they just don't have to kneel down, but if they want them to be as casual as those Chinese tourists, it will be impossible even to death.

At this time, the car phone rang.

"Captain, please return to the base quickly, urgent mission."

As soon as Sharma answered the phone, he heard the captain's voice coming from inside.

"Yes, we'll be right back."

Sharma hung up the phone, started the car, and accelerated towards the air force base outside the city.

"Thanks to the good quality of this road, otherwise I would be nervous."

After Sharma left the city, he increased the speed to 120 kilometers.

"Captain, what kind of mission do you think this is?

Is it to attack Indians?"

Second Lieutenant Barma asked.

"Maybe":
