In 1931, Japan launched the 918 Incident and occupied the three eastern provinces! After the incident, Zhang Xueliang, Chiang Kai-shek and others became 40,000,000 Chinese shrunken-headed turtles on the tip of their tongues because of their passive resistance to Japan! But they eventually resisted!
Today I want to talk about a founding father of our neighboring country, who not only did not resist Japan himself, but also did not want China to resist Japan, and even publicly stated that China should give 200 million people for Japan to kill! This man is Mahatma Gandhi!
Gandhi was born in India, famous for the non-violent non-resistance theory he developed, because he had a great contribution to the construction of the Indian state, so he was regarded as the father of the country by Indians!
At the beginning of the last century, India was still a British colony, and after the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese army sent troops to invade India and fought with the British troops there! At that time, Churchill hoped that Gandhi would carry forward the spiritual call of the Founding Father and let the Indians unite to drive out the Japanese devils! However, Gandhi was unusually calm, not only did he not call for resistance, but he also openly stated that he did not want the Indians to resist, and he would continue to insist on non-violence and non-cooperation, only in this way could he defeat the Japanese invaders!
At that time, the Chinese battlefield was very tense, and China and Japan were in full swing! In order to contact the British army to resist japan together, Chiang Kai-shek visited India and established a cooperative relationship with the British army!
In 1940, the British army repeatedly invited China to visit India, hoping that China would persuade Gandhi to resist the Japanese army! So China sent Dai Jitao, who had a high diplomatic level!
After Dai Jitao came to India, he visited many places and also went to visit Gandhi! During the conversation between the two people, Dai Jitao praised the anti-Japanese integrity of the Chinese army and encouraged India to mobilize the people to participate in the process of resistance! But Gandhi objected on the spot, believing that China should not resort to violent means to resist the Japanese army! Seeing Gandhi's attitude, Dai Jitao never mentioned the anti-Japanese resistance in India again!
Shortly after Dai Jitao left, gandhi may have been unsure, so he ran to see the leaders of christendom, hoping that his views would be supported by the leaders! He said at the time: "In any case, China is not practicing non-violence. Its heroic resistance to Japan shows that China has never had a willingness to be non-violent. To show that he was only defending himself, this is not a reason in terms of the principle of non-violence.
From the standpoint of the nonviolents, I must say that it is inappropriate to use a China of 400 million people to deal with an enlightened Japan, and to resist Japanese aggression in the same way as the Japanese. If Chinese had a non-violent belief like mine, there would be no need for the same means of destruction as the Japanese.
China can tell the Japanese: Come with your means of destruction, we will kill 200 million people for you, and there are 200 million people left, and we will not give in. If Chinese did, the Japanese would become slaves to the Chinese. ”
Non-violent, non-resistance! This is Gandhi's whole attitude towards the Japanese army that invaded China and even India! It is precisely because of this attitude that the process of World War II has become slow to a certain extent, and both the British army and the Chinese army have paid a price for it!
On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was assassinated by Hindu diehards, and after Gandhi's death, he was even worshipped as a god by many people in India, but later facts proved that only by establishing an anti-Japanese national united front and griting his teeth and fighting fiercely could the ambitious Japanese army invade China bow its head and admit its mistakes, and could we safeguard the national dignity of our Chinese!
