German military's combat operations in India attracted worldwide attention. British government, who was exiled to Canada, is particularly concerned. Although India is their best and richest colony, losing India will severely damage British Empire's strength. However, it would be great if India could be used to hold back the Germany people and drag the Germany people into the quagmire of war.
In that case, even if you lose the India, the British Empire will not be a loss. This is why when Baron Charles Harding reported to Cabinet and asked for HMS Indomitable to be given autonomy and even allowed India to become independent, British Cabinet agreed.
However, it seems that HMS Indomitable, which has high hopes, cannot stop Germany people from moving forward. In just two months, even the capital Delhi has fallen. At the same time, another army group of the Germany people also fought Anglo-Indian Army south of India and was defeated. It seems impossible for the Anglo-Indian Army, which has suffered heavy losses, to drag Germany people into India, or to turn India into a war quagmire.
What's more, the heavy losses and repeated failures made both Indian National Congress and Green Party Alliance extremely disappointed with British Indian colonial authorities, and their cooperation was on the verge of collapse. Under such circumstances, it would be even more impossible for the Britain people to rely on the strength of those India natives to resist German offensive.
This result made British Cabinet very dissatisfied. However, they had no other choice but to let British Indian colonial authorities hold back the Germany people as much as possible so that the Germany people would not occupy India so easily.
Other countries believe that it is a certainty that the Germany people will occupy India. India This rich colony is coveted by all the major powers in the world. Previously, the Britain people occupied India. Relying on the wealth of India, they have been occupying the throne of world hegemon for hundreds of years. Now, Germany people occupy India. It is foreseeable that Germany, which occupies India, will gain a lot of wealth from India. This will be of great help to India's national strength. It will be even more difficult for other countries to compete with India.
British Indian colonial authorities is about to fail in India, which makes the local India have other thoughts. Both Indian National Congress and Green Party Alliance sent people to Germany, hoping to contact German government so that they could achieve results that were beneficial to them. After all, deep down in their hearts they still long for India to gain independence.
Before, they wanted to gain independence from the Britain people. But now, since Britain people are no longer alive. Then, they can only turn to Germany people. However, before, they fully cooperated with Britain people and opposed Germany. It would be very difficult to get Germany to agree to let them become independent. What's more, Germany has just occupied India, and it is absolutely impossible to let India go without ruthlessly exploiting India for a period of time and extracting a large amount of wealth from India.
In addition to these parties in India, there is another force in India, namely the Indian princes. Today, India has nearly 600 princely states, large and small. Large princely states, such as Hyderabad, own nearly half of India's land and one-third of its population. When the British ruled India, these princely states submitted to the British rule. The feudal lords relied on the British to maintain their rule.
However, now the rule of Britain people in India is about to collapse, which means that the good days of these Princely Ruler seem to be coming to an end. Therefore, those Princely Ruler people also took active actions.
Germany capital Berlin, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire is listening to the combat operations of India.
"Your Majesty, so far, our combat operations in India are going very smoothly. Anglo-Indian Army and British Army in India have been wiped out by us more than half of their forces. Although, the expansion of the Anglo-Indian Army is still continuing. However, Anglo-Indian Army, who lacks weapons and equipment, lacks training, and even has no fighting spirit, is nothing to worry about. It is estimated that we will be able to capture the entire India in about three months!" Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Falkenhayn said with a proud face.
German military defeated Anglo-Indian Army, who had millions or even tens of millions of troops, with 400,000 people. Even if Anglo-Indian Army's combat effectiveness was worse, it was not easy to achieve such a dazzling victory. German military's series of victories over India undoubtedly once again proved that German Army's combat effectiveness is the same as HMS Invincible's. As Minister of War and Chief of Staff, Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn naturally has a bright face.
Oscar nodded. "4th Army Corps and 8th Army Corps fought very well on the India battlefield. Especially 8th Army Corps, who continuously defeated Anglo-Indian Army's main force, and now even captured Delhi."
Oscar is undoubtedly very satisfied with Ding Junjun's performance on the India battlefield. Originally, Oscar also believed that with the Anglo-Indian Army's crazy army expansion, it would take a long time for German military to capture the entire India. If the war does not go well, it is entirely possible to fight for a year or two. In that case, German military would have to pay a high price in order to capture India.
But what Oscar didn't expect was that Anglo-Indian Army would be so vulnerable and easily defeated by German military. Now it seems that German military will be able to capture India in at most half a year. This will allow Germany to win India at the minimum cost, and then start to reap the wealth of India. In this case, the interests of Germany can be maximized.
"People from Your Majesty, Indian National Congress and Green Party Alliance want to talk to us!" Empire Foreign Minister Wachth said.
Oscar shook his head. "There is nothing to talk about! What those people want is India's independence, which Empire will never agree to. Besides, they fully supported British Indian colonial authorities before. and Empire are fighting against each other. Now that Britain has failed, they 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 Ministerss of the Empire nodded repeatedly. Empire captured India not to liberate the India natives, but to enslave and exploit them. Therefore, the group of Indian National Congress and Imperial Government are born enemies.
"In addition to the group of Indian National Congress, Princely Ruler Mir Osman Ali Khan of India Hyderabad Princely State hopes to secretly visit Germany." Wachth said.
"Princely Ruler of Hyderabad State?" Oscar touched his chin.
Of course he knows Hyderabad State, which is India's largest country. Now, Princely Ruler in Hyderabad wants to secretly visit Germany, which is obviously not that simple.
