The fierce gunfire coming from the train station naturally attracted the attention of many people. Shahabad is not a big city, but as an important transportation hub, there are still some garrisons around it. However, the current garrisons are still British. under control.
From the first moment they heard the gunfire, the British commanders of the local garrison understood what had happened, because Suleiman Brom had already asked them for help, but for the sake of a stable transition, their superiors chose to remain silent.
Later, Suleiman Brom had no choice but to invite God's Whip to be responsible for escorting this batch of supplies. Although they don’t know what is happening at the train station now, the British will definitely not go out.
Because in the eyes of the British now, the most important thing is a peaceful transition and the completion of the transfer of power. The struggle for power among other Indians or conflicts between sects are not within the scope of the British's consideration.
Therefore, the local garrison did not take any action under the constraints of the British.
This gave Suleiman Brom ample time to evacuate. After the Scourge of God team escorted the train out of Shahabad, the frightened Indian civilians fled in a hurry and spread the news about what happened here.
The top Indian officials who received the news were also shocked by Suleiman Brom's determination. In fact, in this special period, both Indians and British understand that stability is overriding everything. Suitable for large-scale conflicts.
Since Suleiman Brom has shown such a tough attitude, it seems that continuing to force the opponent may lead to unpredictable serious consequences. In the end, the Indian top management had to choose to swallow this bitter pill with a pinched nose. If you want to retaliate, you have to wait until the smooth transfer of power in India.
Because of this, Dalhousie, who originally thought that the rest of the journey would be uneventful, unexpectedly found that the direction of development seemed to be completely different from what he thought. Not only did they not encounter another attack, even the path of the train was also different. No obstacles were encountered.
This gave him a very unreal feeling.
At the same time, Fang Lang, who was far away in Cochin, was observing the crowds gathering outside the Travancore Palace from a distance with a telescope.
"Where did they find these people?"
While observing the situation outside the palace, Fang Lang casually asked Zhuang Xintian beside him.
Regarding his boss's question, Zhuang Xintian smiled and said nonchalantly:
"These Indian MSLs are the biggest achievement of our work during this period. They are all MSL believers from around Cochin. Our people disguised themselves as MSLs and Hindus, deliberately creating conflicts between the two parties and making the already tense relationship between the two parties worse. There must be some incompatibility.
But compared to the huge group of Hindus, the proportion of MSL in Cochin is too small, and their life in Cochin is restricted everywhere.
As the highest-ranking noble among the Hindus in Cochin, the Travancore royal family has a very huge influence in the local area.
With just a little guidance, we made these MSL believers believe that everything they faced today was promoted by the Travancore royal family behind the scenes.
Coupled with the help of our people to bridge the gap, this large MSL opposition began to automatically gather at the location of the Travancore Palace.
Now all it takes is to add more fire, and this demonstration and rally can turn into a fierce armed conflict. "
Looking at Zhuang Xintian with a sinister smile on his face, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile. This is the correct usage of special forces! The Americans of later generations have mastered this routine so well that their own people are just following the trend.
The real cause of religious conflicts is not them, but the British government. They just use the British government's policies to serve themselves.
With their troublesome character, the British agreed to India's independence. Of course, it would not make it smooth sailing for them. After all, India has a huge territory and a huge population base. Once it develops, it is possible to become a major country that affects the situation in Asia.
This was a phenomenon that the British absolutely did not want to see. Therefore, the British took advantage of India's complex caste system and contradictory religious conflicts to divide India into two countries: India and Pakistan.
Most of the people in India follow Hinduism, while Pakistan is mainly MSL. However, these people who believe in the two sects do not naturally live in two different areas. On the contrary, the two sides are very closely integrated, and it is a state of you and me and you.
This led to the serious religious conflicts in the country at the beginning of India's independence. The Hindus, who controlled India's rights, wanted to clear out all MSLs in the territory. However, these MSLs had lived in India since childhood, and their land, property, and family owned everything. Nowhere in India is it so easy to be cut across the board.
In the end, it directly evolved into a fierce religious conflict. Most MSL were driven out of their homes and became destitute. They had to cross the vast Indian subcontinent and head to Pakistan in the northwest or southeast.
Yes, you read that right. The newly independent Pakistan was divided into two parts by India. The northwest one was what became Pakistan, and the southeast one was what became Bangladesh. At this time, Bangladesh still belonged to Pakistan. of Bengal Province.
This adds great difficulty to Pakistan's national governance. After all, its own land is not directly connected to each other, but is separated from it by another country. There is not even direct transportation between the two places.
This was also one of the important reasons for Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan. Of course, the Indian government's encouragement was also indispensable.
Of course, this is a later story. Today's Pakistan is divided into two lands: Pakistan in the northwest and Bengal in the northeast. It is very difficult for Hindus living in these two lands to enter Hindu-controlled India.
It is naturally difficult for MSLs in India to enter Pakistan, which is controlled by the Communist Party.
These believers must abandon everything they have in their hometown and go to live in another completely unfamiliar area with nothing. This is unacceptable to everyone. Therefore, naturally many MSLs choose to stick to their own beliefs. Land, property and homes.
Hindus are naturally unwilling to have pagans on their territory, which has led to fierce religious conflicts in India. Now Zhuang Xintian is taking advantage of this to gather all the MSLs near Cochin together. It is a very powerful force, with tens of thousands of people.
The royal family of Travancore, which was besieged by these MSLs, was naturally very nervous at the moment. With its more than 300 palace guards alone, it was naturally impossible to compete with the tens of thousands of MSL people.
The Travancore royal family immediately applied for support from the nearby garrison. Unfortunately, a regiment stationed near the palace would not obey the royal family's dispatch. The British officer leading the team directly stated that it was now the time for the transfer of power. During this important period, the army should not be mobilized.
It is recommended that the royal family resolve the current dilemma through negotiation. The king of the Travancore royal family was so angry that he broke several delicate porcelains in the palace.
In the end, the royal family had no choice but to summon the Hindus in the territory to confront these MSLs on the advice of their subordinates.
This is obviously a bad game. There are already many conflicts between Hinduism and MSL. At this time, both sides are allowed to have a big show off outside the royal family of Travancore. Just think about it and you can guess what the consequences will be. .
But at this moment, the Travancore royal family can no longer care about so much. They only have one problem on their mind now, and that is to keep these msl as far away from their palace as possible. As for whether they were driven away or whether they were directly humanitarian destroyed after the conflict, they didn't care at all.
Therefore, this suggestion was directly recognized by the royal family, and then Hindus near Cochin began to slowly gather around the royal family of Travancore.
Fang Lang and others, who had been paying attention to the development of the situation, were watching all this silently.
As the sky gradually darkened, dense torches began to light up on the land outside the royal family of Travancore. The crowd was clearly divided into two parts. Although the two sides had not yet started physical conflicts, the verbal abuses had already begun. It's slowly upgrading.
"Boss, all the residents near the temple have come here. We can take action at any time."
Zhuang Xintian came to Fang Lang and lowered his voice.
When Fang Lang, who was looking at the lively scene in the distance, heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, he put down the telescope in his hand and said:
"The monks in the temple haven't left, have they?"
"No, boss, don't worry. The temple is always under our surveillance. Those who can't leave will never be able to leave the temple without our permission."
Zhuang Xintian assured Fang Lang confidently.
Fang Lang smiled when he heard this and glanced at the crowd facing off under torches not far away.
"Let our people control the rhythm. We must not let these people leave tonight. If necessary, add fire to it and let them cause chaos."
"Understood! Boss!"
Zhuang Xintian raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd confronting each other in the distance, and smiled confidently. He turned around and followed Fang Lang towards the temple.
By the time Fang Lang and his party arrived at the temple, it was already dark, and two slightly old trucks were parked at the entrance of the temple. This was the means of transportation they arranged to transport gold.
When Fang Lang and others were about to enter the temple, two figures walked out of the darkness and stood in front of Fang Lang and saluted:
"Boss, the temple is under our control and the operation can start at any time."
Fang Lang glanced at the temple in the darkness, nodded, looked in the direction of the seaside and said:
"Has the corresponding ship arrived?"
"Yes, boss, the traffic boat is on standby in the sea fifty meters away. When notified, it will dock directly."
Qi Qingshan stepped forward and answered Fang Lang's question in a low voice.
"Then let us see how many good things are hidden in Indian temples."
Fang Lang smiled slightly and strode towards the temple. No one encountered any obstacles along the way. It seemed that no one was in the temple anymore, but Fang Lang knew that his own men were everywhere in the temple at this moment. Watch out in the shadows to prevent outsiders from breaking into the temple grounds.
Fang Lang had visited this temple several times and was very familiar with the situation inside. As if he had returned to his own home, he walked directly into the room of a meat-and-potatoes monk.
At this moment, in the room of the drunken monk, the drunken monk was tied to a stool, with a tattered rag stuffed in his mouth, and he didn't know whose socks it was.
It is not compulsory for Hindu monks to be shaved. This monk has long hair, which is wrapped in a turban, revealing a few strands of slightly gray hair. There are yellow and white stripes on his forehead. Fang Lang doesn't understand what this means. .
Several soldiers from the guard company were rummaging around in the monk's room, trying to find the entrance to the secret room, but looking at the current situation, the results of their search did not seem to be ideal.
Fang Lang was not anxious at all. After looking around the room, he coughed lightly and said:
"Everyone, stop for a moment! Let me talk to this master."
The soldiers who were searching in the room stopped what they were doing when they heard this. Fang Lang stood opposite the monk with a smile on his face and said:
"Master, the temple is now under the control of my people, and everyone within a two-kilometer radius is my people, so I don't mind if you shout for help.
However, I am right in front of you, and if you shout for help, you may disturb me, in which case I will be very angry.
】
If I get angry, I might do something irrational. I see that the teeth in your mouth seem to be very neat. I think you don't want them to leave you now, right? "
Fang Lang's attitude was not fierce, and was even a bit pleasant, but the threat in his words was something that even a fool could hear. The monk, who was already highly frightened, made a whining sound when he heard this and began to shake his head desperately.
Fang Lang burst out laughing when he saw this. He glanced at Zhuang Xintian helplessly and said:
"It's better to take the thing out of his mouth and let him talk! The Indian shook his head. Only God knows what he meant."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xintian stepped forward and grabbed the rag in the other person's mouth and pulled it off.
The monk obviously understood what Fang Lang meant. He did not scream, but swallowed hard and said:
"Sir, do you have any misunderstanding? This is a temple. I don't know what you want to do here?"
Fang Lang didn't expect this guy to be very calm at this time, and couldn't help but look at him differently.
"Do you really not know why we came here? Then you should know very well what secrets are hidden in your room!"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, the monk who seemed calm at first shrank his eyes and his expression changed drastically. However, he quickly regained his composure and said with a blank expression:
"Sir, our place is a temple, a place where we worship the gods. As for this room, it is just a residence for us ordinary monks. There is no secret at all."
Although the other party's expression recovered quickly, it did not escape Fang Lang's eyes. He understood that the other party was obviously preparing to be tough, and he was not prepared to take any coercive measures, but continued to smile and said:
"Then let me remind you again, where did you get the gold you used to buy wine? You don't want to deny this, do you?"
The monk's face changed drastically when he heard this. He thought these people were targeting his gangsters because he was spending gold. After all, Fang Lang and the others were all dressed like Indian locals, which was really confusing.
