Berlin, Germany. General Staff Headquarters.
German Emperor Qin Tian, Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Falkenhayn, First Sea Lord Admiral Scheer, and Director of the Intelligence Bureau General Balaimin had all gathered there.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, according to the intelligence we have received, India is now expanding its military like mad. Mobilized by the Indian National Congress and the Green Party Alliance, countless Indian youths have eagerly enlisted. The Anglo-Indian Army will likely see explosive growth in an extremely short time!" General Balaimin said with some concern.
"How did this happen? How did the Indian National Congress and the Green Party Alliance get mixed up with the British Indian colonial authorities?" Qin Tian frowned. Although India was merely a colony, it had a population of over three hundred million. If Germany had possessed a population of more than three hundred million, Qin Tian would have been confident of unifying all of Europe in the previous World War. With more than three hundred million people, they could easily mobilize tens of millions of troops, if not more! Unfortunately, Germany had only a little over fifty million people. Without harming the nation's future, mobilizing three or four million troops was already the limit.

Field Marshal Falkenhayn's expression was equally grim. According to the plan, the German military would deploy only two army groups to attack India. After reorganization, the two army groups amounted to no more than four hundred thousand men. Compared with the forces India could mobilize, four hundred thousand was not even a fraction of their number.
Of course, the German military's combat strength was naturally beyond comparison with those
