Jagged Germany
Chapter 923: Landlord (seeking monthly ticket)
The German combat operations in India have attracted worldwide attention. The British government, in exile in Canada, was particularly concerned. Although India is their best and richest colony, losing India will seriously damage the strength of the British Empire. However, it would be great if India could be used to hold back the Germans and drag the Germans into the quagmire of war.
In that case, even if India is lost, the British Empire will not suffer. This is why when Baron Charles Harding reported to the cabinet and demanded that Indians be given self-government and even allow India to become independent, the British cabinet agreed.
It's just that the Indians, who now seem to have high hopes, can't stop the Germans from advancing at all. In just two months, even the capital Delhi has fallen. At the same time, another group army of the Germans also defeated the British and Indian troops in southern India. It seems unlikely that the British and Indian troops who suffered heavy losses would drag the Germans in India, or turn India into a war quagmire.
What's more, heavy losses and repeated failures made both the Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance disappointed with the British and Indian colonial authorities, and their cooperation was also on the verge of collapse. Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible for the British to rely on the strength of those Indian natives to resist the German attack.
Such a result made the British cabinet very dissatisfied. However, they had no other choice but to allow the British and Indian colonial authorities to hold back the Germans as much as possible so that the Germans would not occupy India so easily.
Other countries believe that the German occupation of India is already a certainty. This rich colony of India has made the world's major powers salivate. The British occupied India before, and relying on India's wealth, they have occupied the throne of world hegemony for hundreds of years. Now, the Germans are occupying India. It is foreseeable that Germany, which occupies India, will take a lot of wealth from India. This will be of great help to the improvement of India's national strength. It will be even more difficult for other countries to compete with India.
The British and Indian colonial authorities are about to fail in India, which makes the native Indians have other thoughts. The National Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance have sent people to Germany one after another, hoping to contact the German government so that they can reach a result that is beneficial to them. After all, deep down in their hearts they still desire to make India independent.
Before, they wanted to gain independence from the British. But now, since the British are gone. Then, they can only turn to the Germans. It's just that they fully cooperated with the British and opposed Germany before. It may be very difficult to get Germany to agree to let them be independent. What's more, Germany has just occupied India, and if it doesn't exploit India severely for a period of time and collect a lot of wealth from India, it is absolutely impossible to let India go.
In addition to these parties in India, there is another force in India, that is, the Lord of India. Today's India has nearly 600 large and small states. Large states such as Hyderabad own nearly half of India's land and one-third of its population. When the British ruled India, these states were subject to the rule of the British. The land lord relied on Britain to maintain his rule.
It's just that the British rule in India is about to collapse, which means that the good days of these sovereigns seem to be coming to an end. Therefore, those land lords also took active actions.
In Berlin, the capital of Germany, Imperial Emperor Qin Tian is listening to India's combat operations.
"Your Majesty, at present, our combat operations in India are very smooth. We have wiped out more than half of the British and Indian troops and the British troops stationed in India. Although the expansion of the British and Indian troops is still going on. However, the lack of Weapons and equipment, lack of training, and even the British and Indian troops who have no fighting spirit are nothing to worry about. It is estimated that in about three months, we will be able to take the whole of India!" Falkenhein, Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff The Marshal said proudly.
The German army defeated the British and Indian army with millions or even tens of millions of troops with 400,000 troops. No matter how bad the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops was, it was not easy to achieve such a dazzling victory. A series of German victories in India undoubtedly proved once again that the combat effectiveness of the German Army is invincible. As the Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, Marshal von Falkenhain naturally had a bright face.
Qin Tian nodded: "The 4th Army and the 8th Army fought very well on the Indian battlefield. The 8th Army, in particular, defeated the main force of the British and Indian armies in succession, and now it has even taken Delhi."
Qin Tian is undoubtedly very satisfied with Ding Jun's performance on the Indian battlefield. Originally, Qin Tian also thought that it would take a long time for the German army to capture the whole of India under the circumstances of the British and Indian army's crazy military expansion. If the war is not going well, it is entirely possible to fight for a year or two. In that case, the German army would have to pay a considerable price in order to capture India.
But what Qin Tian didn't expect was that the British and Indian troops would be so vulnerable that they were easily defeated by the German army. It now appears that the German army will be able to capture India in at most half a year. This will allow Germany to take India with minimal cost, and then start to take away India's wealth. In this case, Germany's interests can be maximized.
"Your Majesty, people from the Indian National Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance want to talk to us!" said Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit.
Qin Tian shook his head: "There is nothing to talk about! What those people want is India's independence, and the empire will never agree to it. Besides, they fully supported the British and Indian colonial authorities in their confrontation with the empire before. , now seeing that the British are dying, and want to turn to the empire to achieve their goals, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!"
The military and political ministers of the empire nodded repeatedly. The empire captured India not to liberate those Indian natives, but to enslave and exploit them. Therefore, those people from the Congress Party and the imperial government are born enemies.
"Except for those members of the Congress Party, Mir Osman Ali Khan, the ruler of the Indian state of Hyderabad, hopes to visit Germany secretly." Wahit said.
"The ruler of Hyderabad?" Qin Tian touched his chin.
Of course he knows Hyderabad, which is the largest state in India. Now, the lord of Hyderabad wants to visit Germany secretly, which is obviously not that simple.
