"Damn Germany people, do they want to take out all the last bits of our money? They would actually use such a method!" Mir Osman Ali Khan looked very ugly.
Although, they knew that Germany people wanted to take this opportunity to extort wealth this time. But they don't want to just give in. Therefore, several larger princely states have already contacted secretly. When bidding, just make the Germany person look good. In this case, they can achieve their goals at the lowest cost.
However, now Germany people's plan has completely ruined their plan. Each person writes the amount of donation by himself, and there is no chance to communicate with other Princely Ruler. This requires them to go all out. Otherwise, if you have reservations and others go all out without any reservations, the final consequences will be very serious.
India Princely Ruler of various feudal states also have many conflicts with each other. It is almost impossible for them to truly unite and unite. Therefore, for their own benefit, they can only do their best.
"No matter what, we must get the first place. That not only means a fertile and fertile territory, but also can be appreciated and reused by the Germany people. The Germany people have promised that in India Among the princes of, choosing one Princely Ruler to be responsible for ruling India is worthy of my efforts, even if it is only in name!" Mir Osman Ali Khan said.
This news is unknown to other Princely Ruler. This was also what German government told him specifically to reward Mir Osman Ali Khan. Of course, if Mir Osman Ali Khan is reluctant to spend money and fails to take the first place in military donations, then naturally this good thing will not be his turn.
"Britain people established Viceroy of India to manage India, but Viceroy of India has always been held by Britain people. If Germany people set up Viceroy of India For, Princely Ruler will be in charge. This is an absolutely irresistible temptation for any Princely Ruler! So, this time I must get the first place!" Mir Osman Ali Khan secretly made up his mind.
Subsequently, Mir Osman Ali Khan wrote the donation number of 1.5 billion Mark on the form. And this is almost equivalent to 80% of his net worth. It was the only thing he could cash in quickly. The rest are real estate such as land, houses and mines, which are not easily liquidated.
Mir Osman Ali Khan believes that among these Princely Ruler, there is only one person as courageous as him. Therefore, he is determined to be the first to donate military expenses this time.
Other Princely Rulers also realized this. No one wants to be surpassed by others. They all want to rank high in military donations, or even be first. Only in this way can we have the right to choose land first. Therefore, the only thing they can do is probably donate as much military spending as possible to Germany. In this way, they can get what they want.
Of course, this will undoubtedly cause these Princely Rulers to bleed a lot. And the only winner seems to be German Empire. With these Princely Ruler trying their best to donate military expenses, it doesn't take much to think about how much wealth Germany will get this time.
Ten minutes later, specialized staff took back the form and then made statistics and rankings.
An hour later, the staff completed the statistics. When the ranking was delivered to Prime Minister Bülow, he almost laughed out loud.
Ranked first is Mir Osman Ali Khan of Hyderabad State. He donated 15 billion Mark. Ranked second is Mysore State, who donated 14.5 billion Mark. The third one is Indore State, which donated 1.2 billion Mark. The fourth place is Junagadh State, which donated 10 billion Mark, and Kashmir State is ranked seventh, donating 8 billion Mark. Other Princely Rulers also donated a lot.
It can be said that in order to occupy a good position in this land distribution, Princely Ruler from all the princely states have tried their best. After all, if you are last in line, there is almost no choice.
There are nearly 600 princely states, large and small, and no one has donated less than 100 million in military expenditures. Even though some kingdoms were not big, they were not rich either. However, the wealth they have accumulated over generations is also very amazing.
These Princely Ruler donated a total of 172.5 billion Mark. Obviously, this is already a huge sum of money. Even the gross national product of Germany in one year is nothing compared to this. These Princely Ruler are really fat and oily!
The Military and Political Ministerss of the Empire were all very happy after circulating this form. After all, this means that Germany will not be short of money for a long time to come. There is no shortage of money, which means they can do a lot of things they want to do. And the strength of Germany will inevitably be further improved as a result.
"Now, I announce the top ten countries with the highest donation amount! The first place, Hyderabad State, donated 1.5 billion Mark. The second place, Mysore State, donated 14.5 billion Mark..."
When this list was announced, it also caused an uproar among Princely Ruler. They obviously did not expect that the top states would donate so much. Especially Princely Ruler from Mysore State, I regret it very much. Although 500 million Mark is a large amount of money, it is not impossible for him to collect it if he insists on it. As long as there are 500 million more Mark, he can become the number one. By then, Mysore State will be able to surpass Hyderabad State in strength and become number one among the India kingdoms.
However, it is too late to talk about this now. They have no chance to do it again.
Mir Osman Ali Khan was also frightened. If he had been a little more reserved, he might be surpassed. By then, his losses would be great.
"Thank you for your help to the German Empire. Empire will not forget you. One month later, the land division of India will begin! The order of selection is this donation list!" Prime Minister Bülow said.
"In addition, let me announce one more thing. His Majesty the Emperor appointed Mir Osman Ali Khan as Viceroy of India, replacing Empire, to manage India. Responsible for collecting taxes, etc. for the Empire!" Bülow finally said.
For a time, many country people Princely Ruler regretted it!
