Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan stayed in Calcutta for a while. During this time, the 28th Division stationed in Kunming went down the Brahmaputra River, entered the Bangladesh Autonomous Region, and then entered Calcutta from the Bangladesh Autonomous Region. Lin Yuan ordered the 28th Division to The division commander, Yun Tiangang, marched towards Delhi along the Ganges River Basin.

Along with the 28th division came officials from the Kolkata Autonomous Region sent by Lin Yuan from China. After entering India, these officials absorbed scholars such as Manjill and Gandhi into the government of the autonomous region. Gandhi and others saw that China was carrying out land After the reform, the poor Indians looked grateful and believed that China was the savior of India, so they threw away the idea of ​​independence one after another and willingly served the autonomous region government.

Under the guidance of Lin Yuan, the new government carried out drastic reforms in the Kolkata Autonomous Region. The first thing to do was land reform. During the reform process, land was distributed regardless of caste.

Of course, this policy caused dissatisfaction among the local high-level castes, but even if they were dissatisfied, they could do nothing, because the Chinese had political and military power in their hands, and these people could not resist.

Under the arrangement of the new government, most of the urban poor returned to the countryside, and the new government carried out large-scale infrastructure construction in the cities to absorb the labor force in the cities.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to leave Calcutta and lead the fleet to the next place, but stayed in Calcutta to deal with the recent reform issues. On July 7, Gandhi came to Lin Yuan suddenly.

At this time, Gandhi was appointed by Lin Yuan as the chief administrative officer of the Kolkata Autonomous Region. Lin Yuan made this arrangement because he valued Gandhi's "influence with love". various contradictions.

Lin Yuan received Gandhi in the reception room, and asked directly: "Mr. Gandhi, what can I do for you?"

Gandhi sighed, put a stack of documents in front of Lin Yuan, and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, please think of a way. Now the caste system has seriously affected our construction."

Lin Yuan was not surprised, he had expected this situation a long time ago, Lin Yuan asked: "Tell me carefully, what happened?"

Gandhi sighed, and said: "You proposed the 'Clean City' plan, to clean up all the garbage in the city, transport it to the landfill for deep burial, this process requires a lot of garbage sweepers, but the garbage sweepers are late It’s not enough late hiring, even though we’ve paid a premium because many people think it’s a job for the lowest caste.”

"The plan you put forward to 'eliminate slums' is to build a large number of clean and tidy buildings in the city, but the construction workers have not been able to recruit enough, because there are people from low castes among the workers we recruited before, and people from other castes are unwilling to work with them. Work together."

"There are also schools. Many Brahmin parents do not allow children of lower castes to enter the school. There are similar situations in adult literacy classes... There are many such things, and people of lower castes are content with their status and do not want to resist at all. , submitting to the oppression of the upper caste.”

Gandhi wanted to say more, but Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly and said, "I can imagine all these things, so there is no need to say more."

Gandhi then asked, "Then do you have a solution?"

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is a solution, but it is more difficult to implement."

Gandhi said: "As long as there is no violence, we can find a solution to any difficulty."

Lin Yuan asked, "How many temples are there in Calcutta?"

Gandhi replied: "There are a hundred of them, big and small. Why do you ask this?"

Lin Yuan did not answer, and continued to ask: "How many are the most influential and appealing?"

Gandhi thought for a while and said, "There are fifteen or six."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and said casually: "Invite all the most prestigious elders in these temples, and none will be lost."

Gandhi was startled after hearing Lin Yuan's words, and thought to himself: "Lin Yuan is Lin Yuan! Just a casual sentence will invite all the elders. You must know that these elders are very prestigious people in Calcutta. George Curzon doesn't have the power to get them all here."

Gandhi knew that Lin Yuan's promise was not something he could resist, so he sent his men to invite the elders of these temples. When the elders of these temples heard that Lin Yuan had summoned them, their hearts jumped wildly, because they helped the British and Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan hasn't settled with them for what he did wrong!

The elders came to Lin Yuan's command post in fear. Lin Yuan's subordinates treated them very politely, which made them feel a little relieved. More than 200 elders walked into the meeting room, only to see Lin Yuan sitting alone in the chair Drinking tea on the stage, they all felt the majesty of Lin Yuan, no one dared to sit down, no one dared to speak.

Lin Yuan put down his teacup and said casually, "Take a seat, the one with the highest status sits in front of me."

More than 200 elders took their seats separately, and the conference room was full in a short time. Lin Yuan looked at the person in front of him, and turned to look at the interpreter. The interpreter immediately told Lin Yuan in a low voice: "This person's name is Thakur. The most prestigious elder in Calcutta, the monastery he lives in is called..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly and said, "I don't need to know the name of his monastery." Then he said to Elder Thakur, "Hello Elder Thakur, has your monastery summoned a saint again recently?"

"Saints" are women in Indian temples who are used by monks and Brahmins to vent their desires. These girls were sent to the temple when they were ten years old. In name, they used their bodies to serve the gods. Living in their own homes, the monks come to them when they need them. They have never had a normal marriage in their life, and they will be kicked away by the monks when they are old and decrepit.

After Lin Yuan liberated Calcutta, he had promulgated a decree prohibiting the existence of "saints", but how could a decree easily change thousands of years of tradition?So this phenomenon is still common.

Elder Thakur also knew that his monks had summoned the saintess many times to vent their desires. He looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and did not answer. Lin Yuan sneered, which made Elder Thakur tremble with fright.

Lin Yuan mentioned this matter out of ulterior motives, he just wanted to scare Elder Thakur with the matter of the saint. He had recruited so many elders because he had something more important to talk about.

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Elder Thakur, you should know where the caste system originated?"
