Hi. As my first idea of making an alien-invade-the-world AAR reveal to be impossible to build, i decided to make a small AAR about an interesting but very neglected country: India. I'll use Mod 33 (again.). I will not update this AAR as fast as the last ones but I hope it will still catch the interest of a few readAArs.
Edit: There is an error in the title. Of course you probably guessed than its Gandhi's dream and not Gandhi's deam.
This story begin in May, at the 10 Downing Street, in the capital of the Empire where the Sun never set. The British prime minister Ramsay MacDonald is drinking a teacup after a very busy morning at the parliament. During the day an important debate about the economical crisis raged in London. As MacDonald was slowly falling asleep someone rang at the door. "Who could it be at this hour?" wondered the prime minister. "A guess should never invite himself like that" said Ramsay to himself as he was opening the door. "Oh, its your Mr Eden..."
The chief of the governement invited his foreign minister and friend Anthony Eden enter his house.
James Ramsay MacDonald
R. MacDonald: "Please have a seat, and put your coat on the chair, over there... oh wait its all wet. Does it rain outdoor?"
A. Eden: "As alway. I'm sorry to arrive so late, but i have just got important news from India."
R. MacDdonald: "Oh, I see. Would you like a cup of tea?"
A. Eden: "How could i refuse tea!"
R. MacDonald: "So. Tell me, whats about India?" asked the minister when giving tea to his friend.
A. Eden: "As you know, the Mahatma Gandhi as stoped to eat 21 days ago... today we have found him near coma in his cell and we had to liberate him. The Indian population is showing more and more important signs of support toward this man. "
R. MacDonald: "Do you mean than the colonial authorities liberated this man only because he refused to eat? If he want to die its definitivly not our problem..."
A. Eden: "It seem than you don't understand the situation very well, sir. If the Mahatma would die in a British prison it would be a real revolution in India..."
The Mahatma Gandhi
After a minute of silence, spend by both men by drinking their tea, Ramsay asked:
"How many divisions do we actually have in India?"
A. Eden: "This is definitivly out of question. Too hard repression in India would result in a bloodshed, wich we can't afford. The public would not like. Do you only consider the number of Indians? They are 350 millions. We can't even afford to keep more than 20 000 soldiers over there. Keeping India under direct control coast us almost more than it benefit to us. I don't know what we should do about India and this is why i met you tonight."
R. MacDonald: "Err.. you are right. We will have to find a solution to this problem very soon. As the parliament is very busy right now with the economical crisis, this topic would have to be postponned. But thanks for having advertissed me about Ghandi's liberation. I will have to contact the viceroy about this. The actuall situation cannot continue indefinitly. You can go, if you don't mind the old man than i am would like to have some rest."
A. Eden: "Have a good night sir. See you tomorrow at the Parliament."
