Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

This is the case when dealing with Indians. If you try to treat them as equals, then they will think that you are inferior to them. [Read the novel with the correct chapter, search on google]

The British's attitude towards slaves was equality in their customary sense.

Americans still have little contact with Indians. They don’t know the nature of Indians. If they were replaced by southern Africans——

Bah, Southern Africans don't get involved in this kind of thing.

While the supplies were being handed over at the dock, a special transaction was going on at the University of Mumbai, one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in India.

As soon as the sailors went on strike, the Communist International contacted the Bombay Federation of Students, hoping that students from Bombay colleges and universities would take the initiative to go out of school to respond to the sailors' strike.

According to the Communist International, this should be easy to do, because students are the most enlightened group and they should hate British colonization the most, so they should be more actively involved than sailors who have not received much education.

After all, after India's independence, college students with higher education levels will definitely benefit more than sailors.

What the Comintern did not expect was that the sailors' strike had already started for a week and had even turned into a sailors' uprising in Karachi. However, the student groups in Mumbai had not taken action yet and had only produced some propaganda copywriting and carried out some small-scale propaganda.

I can’t say there is no effect, it may be a little better than doing nothing.

But it's not much stronger.

"So, you spent 50,000 pounds to print only 50,000 leaflets, and 30,000 more have not been sent out. Why is this happening?" Strachey, a staff member from the Communist International, really couldn't understand.

Every time France mobilizes, students are the vanguard and the main force, and they have never fallen behind.

The Comintern not only provided work guidance, but also provided activity funds of 50,000 pounds, which was a lot of money. After all, the Comintern was not as financially strong as the Southern Africa Foundation, so it was difficult to raise funds.

The French Comintern itself is economically strained and faces huge electoral pressure domestically. Parties representing traditional forces are putting increasing pressure on the French Comintern.

Under such difficult circumstances, the French Comintern still squeezed out 50,000 pounds to support the Bombay sailors' strike. Unexpectedly, not only did it not win the gratitude of the Indians, but it actually whetted the appetite of the Indians.

Just yesterday, the Bombay Federation of Students called the Comintern again, hoping that the French Comintern could support more funds so that the student groups in Mumbai could take action and give greater support to the sailors.

The Communist International also has branches in India.

Strachey was an investigator sent by the Comintern.

"You need someone to design a flyer and a printing house to print it. It also takes a lot of people to distribute flyers. We have to make sure that every flyer we send out can be effective, otherwise it will be ineffective work." Secretary-General of the Municipal Federation of Students, Dickert, has said

At forty years old, Strachey didn't know why there were forty-year-old students at the University of Bombay.

Founded in 1857, the University of Mumbai is one of the three oldest and largest comprehensive universities in India.

Strachey had previously thought that Dict only worked for the Municipal Student Union and was not a student at the University of Bombay.

It wasn't until Dickert showed Strachey his student ID that Strachey confirmed this.

"So have the leaflets you sent out had their intended effect?" Strachey suppressed his anger and bought a leaflet for 5 pounds. Your labor costs in India are really expensive.

But this can also be explained.

There is a general strike going on in Mumbai and it is difficult to find workers, so it is normal that the cost is higher.

"Of course, each of our leaflets played a positive role, which is why so many people took to the streets. We also purchased a lot of supplies to give to the sailors so that their strike could continue, otherwise they would starve to death -

—" Dickert lied without blinking an eye. If he continued, the Karachi sailors were also responsible for the uprising.

"Why haven't the students taken action yet?" Strachey did not dwell on this issue. There was no way to verify these things, so he could only take what Dickert said.

"The most important task of students is to study. They are the future pillars of the country. Nothing can affect their study." Dickert was serious, just like the Indian college students who really told him after graduation that they would become

Like the pillars of the country.

Wait, India is not even a country, it is a British colony.

So who do Indian college students work for after graduation?

For India?

Or for the British colonial government?

This is a very serious question.

"Is this your reason for not doing anything?" Strachey couldn't stand it.

The hierarchical system in India is very serious. Most of those who are qualified to study in colleges and universities are Brahmins and Kshatriyas with relatively high social status. It is impossible to expect them to start their own rebellion.

The University of Bombay is one of the best universities in India. Students who graduate here will be highly employed by the colonial government. Once they graduate, they will become part of the ruling class.

So how should you persuade those Bombay University students who are just waiting to become masters after graduation to temporarily give up their studies in order to support the sailors' uprising?

This is not giving up on studies, but destroying one's own future.

"As you saw when you came in just now, the school closed the school gate and did not allow students to go in or out, so the students could not get out of the school gate at all, and the sailors couldn't hear their shouts at all-" What Dict said was indeed true, but

This reason also cannot withstand scrutiny.

The University of Bombay is not open to the outside world, and ordinary people cannot enter the campus. Strachey is French, so he can enter the University of Bombay.

In other words, the ban imposed by Mumbai University is for Indians and is not valid for foreigners.

Moreover, closing the school gate does not mean closing. Even if the sailors' strike did not happen, the gate of Bombay University would still be closed.

If you want to go out, just open it!

"So what are your demands?" Strachey's patience was running out, and he felt that the French people's love was being fed to the dogs.

With this money, it is better to distribute some bread to the homeless veterans in Paris, so that at least during the election, those veterans will at least consider the Communist International when casting their sacred vote.

"We need more support, as you can see. As long as we have enough support, we can play a greater role, otherwise we will give up halfway and all our previous efforts will be in vain." Dickert did not mention money.

Never leave money behind.

"How much do you want?" Strachey laughed angrily, thinking that the French Communist International was a great grievance.

"If there are one hundred thousand pounds, we can send out all the remaining leaflets. If there are two hundred thousand pounds, we can print more leaflets. If there are three hundred thousand pounds -" Finally, it comes to money.

, Dickert’s eyes were glowing green.

"I have a question, how many donations has your city's student union received since its establishment?" Strachey was curious, feeling that Dickert probably thought that the British pound was issued by the French Communist International.

Otherwise, where would you have such a big face?

He opened his mouth to say tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Strachey looked at the cheap suit on Dickert's body and then looked at the brand-new watch on Dickert's wrist. He felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

Bewitched by consumerism, some people will save money and spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on luxury backpacks, and then carry them on the subway.

There is no way to evaluate this kind of behavior. We can only say that consumerist brainwashing is very successful.

Watches are not cheap in India. With Dickt’s suit level, there is a high probability that Dickt cannot afford a watch.

If it were Strachey, if he wanted to package himself, he would use his limited money to buy a well-fitting suit first, which means he can wait until he has more money to buy it.

So, where did Dickert get the money to buy the watch?

I bought a watch last year!

"A lot -" Dickert's expression was habitually exaggerated, and he made a huge circle with his hand: "There are so many that cannot be counted, there are them every day."

What this means is that three hundred thousand pounds is not much, and you can do whatever you want with the money you have.

Although Strachey was French, he worked for the Communist International in India and did not know anything about India.

Based on Strachey's knowledge of India, the total cost of these things done by the Bombay City Students' Union would not exceed one thousand pounds.

"The funds of the Communist International are used to help you, why are you doing this?" Strachey really couldn't understand it. If he wrote a report on what happened here and submitted it, the superiors would probably think that Strachey had no idea.

I didn’t come to Mumbai, but I hid in my office and made it up.

"Didn't we do the right thing?" Dickert said confidently.

"Look what you have done, fifty thousand pounds! A whole fifty thousand pounds! You just printed 50,000 leaflets, and then only distributed 20,000. How dare you, how can you do this?

?" Strachey finally broke out, not wanting to watch Dickert's poor performance again.

That's what Indians are like. If you don't expose them, they will think that their performances are flawless.

Just when Strachey was getting angry, Dickert finally calmed down. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at the furious Strachey with innocent and surprised eyes, as if he didn't understand why Strachey was so angry.

Look.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?" Strachey didn't expect Dickert to answer. While Dickert didn't know if he was nodding or shaking his head, Strachey continued to roar: "The only reason why you are doing this is

The consequence is that you will not receive any support in the future, and you will become an isolated island in human society, with a terrible stench!"

"It's not that we haven't done anything, right? It's just because we are facing too many difficulties. If you can give us more assistance, I believe the situation will definitely change." Dickert was still thinking about asking for money at this time.

"What kind of change will allow you to buy a pair of high-end leather shoes or change into a well-fitting suit?" Strachey said directly. This man is so good at pretending to be stupid that he can trick everyone.

"Are you referring to my watch? I bought this with my own salary. How about it? It's very beautiful!" Dickert happily showed his new watch to Strachey. Strachey really

I couldn't understand how Dickter could laugh at this time.

"May I ask, how much is your salary?" Strachey took a deep breath. This person doesn't know what shame is at all, or his standards for shame are different from those of normal people. He cannot use Strachey's moral standards.

Ask for Dict.

"Why are you asking this? Don't you know it's impolite to ask anyone about their salary?" Dickert immediately put away his watch, looking wary.

It's amazing Strachey, this guy actually knows about politeness.

See, it’s not that people don’t know shame, but they know when to be ashamed.

Dickert shrugged and spread his hands, responding to Strachey with a "so what" expression.

Strachey had nothing to say and turned around to leave.

That's right, the Indians did not ask the French Comintern for money. The French Comintern took the initiative to give the 50,000 pounds to the Bombay Federation of Students.

"Then when will you give us the money that belongs to us?" Dickert was still chasing for money.

"When did our money belong to you?" Strachey was stunned by Dickert's brain circuit.

"Do you still remember why you came here?" Dickert looked at Strachey with a meaningful look.

"Of course." Strachey patiently waited to see what else this guy could cause.

"If we do well, the Comintern should have follow-up support, right?" Dickert rubbed his fingers and gestured to Strachey.

"That's true, but you didn't do it," Strachey emphasized.

"That's right. Since it's money prepared for us, it belongs to us. So, when will you give us the money that belongs to us?" Dickert's brain circuit is indeed amazing, Strachey thought about it.

It took a while to figure out what Dickert meant.

Strachey then never spoke to Dickert again.

Afraid of being pissed off by Dick.

Dickert didn't think what the Bombay Students' Federation was doing was too much. If they don't give money, they wouldn't give it. Why should they be so angry?

Strachey walked out of the office angrily, looked at the quiet and peaceful campus in front of him, and then looked at the bustling traffic and people outside, and suddenly felt discouraged.

No wonder Nepalis say: India is a sleeping maggot. When it wakes up, the whole world will feel sick.

Strachey suddenly felt that his work over the years was meaningless, and he decided to apply for a transfer from India, even if he went to southern Africa, which is considered the most difficult place to work.

It is difficult for the Comintern to carry out its work in southern Africa. At least southern Africans can communicate with each other. Even if they don’t believe in the Comintern, they will tell you clearly why they don’t believe it. They will not use clumsy performances like the Indians to try to make you think you are a fool.

Fools are fooled.

That's not right either, this is not a show at all, the main character is Jiang Taigong, who fishes for people who are willing to take the bait.

Walking out of Mumbai University, a group of sailors swaggered through the streets, laughing and joking without anger or slogans. It felt like they were not on strike, but celebrating a festival.

Strachey was no longer angry at this time, because it wasn't worth it. ()
