Chapter 359: Descendants of the Royal Family

……

The distance from the window on the third floor to the first floor is about 8 meters. The rope is only 7 meters enough. The curtains and bed sheets of a presidential suite are enough to make such a long rope.

"Boss, alright!"

Looking at the rough rope, Guo Shouyun took it and pulled it hard, "Is it long enough?"

"It's definitely long enough. But now that the Indian police are outside, and we are armed with firearms, and it's night, and the light is dim, we are in danger if they are considered terrorists. And we don't yet know if the room on the second floor, or somewhere on the first floor, is really hiding terrorists. Matthew reminded.

Guo Shouyun nodded, in addition to the difficulties he said, Guo Shouyun also had great distrust of the capabilities of the Indian police or special forces. If they are misidentified, they will be left in the air and will be slaughtered by others.

"I know it's dangerous to go out now, but it's just as dangerous to stay here. And two terrorists are dead, and the rest will not be left unmoved. If they find it sticky, it will inevitably lead to deaths and injuries, which I don't want to see. In contrast, it's safer to go down from the window. Also, don't go to the first floor just yet, go down to the window on the second floor, and then we'll continue down when it's safe. ”

"Understood!"

"Go get ready, rest for a while and we'll do it right away!"

"Yes!"

After Matthew left, Rebecca walked over with a tired look.

"How?"

"The bullets have been removed. Katya is bandaging him!"

"Katya is the woman just now?"

"Yes, her name is Katya Singh Kadeer, and she is the daughter of the Kadr family!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "I'm afraid it was for this Kader family that you asked me to save them before, right?"

"Hmm... The Kadr family were political magnates in southern India. Before India abolished the king's year and annuity in 1971, the Kadr family was once the royal family of Travancol, the largest princely state in southern India. ”

In the latter part of the Mughal Dynasty, there were nearly 700 princely states of all sizes in the Indian subcontinent. Especially in the southwestern part of Delhi and on both sides of the Ganges River, there are many small states. They vary greatly in size and economic power, from tribes with just a dozen villages in the mountains to the kingdoms of Mysore and Hyderabad on the Deccan plateau, with their own postal systems, currencies, railways, and education systems based on local languages, which are no less than those of some European countries.

When the British East India Company entered the Indian subcontinent, it adopted a policy of differential treatment of these princely states. The British often allied themselves with some princely states against others that were hostile to the British. Such a policy resulted in a wide range of relations between the princely states and the British.

The East India Company exterminated and annexed the princely states that opposed the British, while the British signed contracts with the princely states that expressed their submission to themselves, agreeing that they would continue to exist and have semi-independent sovereignty. By the time of the dissolution of British India, there were 562 such princely states, covering 1,145,000 square kilometers, accounting for 45.3% of the total area, and 86 million, accounting for 1/3 of the total population at that time. Among them, the larger and more populous princely states include Hyderabad, Mysore, Indore, Jammu and Kashmir, Travankol, Junagadh, etc.

As we all know, after World War II, the idea of independence broke out in India, and Britain, which was drained by World War II, was unable to continue its colonial rule, coupled with the constraints of the United States, it could only allow India to become independent. This was followed by the famous Mountbatten Act.

In the bill, it was stipulated that two states, the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, would be formed, and the remaining princely states of India would choose to become independent according to their own volition, or to join India or Pakistan.

Later, at the 'Princely States Federation' to discuss India's partition plan, powerful princely princes such as Hyderabad, Mysore, Indore, Jammu and Kashmir, Travankol, and Junagad opposed the partition plan and repeatedly expressed their desire to remain in the British Commonwealth as little brothers.

But at this time, a man named Patel appeared. He was in charge of the Ministry of Princely Affairs and was a close friend of Nehru, the leader of India at the time. It is undeniable that although Patar is a dogleg, he is indeed a capable dogleg. Moreover, he understands the essence of the Americans' 'carrot and stick'.

First, the "Accession Agreement" was used to bring the most important national powers of the princely states, such as defense, foreign affairs, and transportation and communications, to the central government. Boil the frogs in warm water and destroy the little tutu state first. When India, which annexed these princely states, became more and more powerful, it began to show its sword against the big princely states of Hyderabad, Mysore, Indore, Jammu and Kashmir, and Travankor.

It's a pity that in the Indian peninsula, except for the Sikhs and the Gurkhas, who are still brave and good at fighting, the rest are simply a bunch of pus. The princely armies raised by the tropical rainforest climate of southern India are even more-filled to the extreme. Hyderabad, in particular, was known as the richest princely state, with less than 2,000 casualties among the 100,000 troops before being wiped out by the Indian army. Most of the other princely states were similar.

India, which unified the whole country, threw aside the Mountbatten Plan and directly changed the Union of India to the Republic of India in 1950.

In 1971, a constitutional amendment was passed on the grounds of 'equality of citizens'. It was announced that the title of king of the princely states would be abolished, his private assets would be confiscated, and the annuity payments would be suspended. 562 princely states have come to an end.

The descendants of the princely royal family, who had no private property and annuities, also saw their lives plummet. However, people are different. Those who hold the superiority of the descendants of the royal family, who do not distinguish between grains and grains, and who are not diligent, are naturally eliminated and reduced to poverty.

Those who have flexible brains and can bend and stretch quickly rise through the previous foundations. Originally, the royal family of Travancol and the Kader family were the best example of a resurgence.

"The Kader family is now larger than the Nehru Gandhi family and is spread across Kerala, with great influence in the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. In particular, the head of the family, Sukh Singh Kader, is the Chief Minister of Kerala, and his brother Summit Singh Kader is the Minister of Finance of Tamil Nadu. In addition, the Kader family often marries the Birla family, one of India's four major business tycoons. The two families are each other's insiders and supporters, and they are the top wealthy aristocrats in India!" Rebecca detailed.

"I see!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"The man we rescued just now is the second son of Sukh Singh Kader, a descendant of the Kader family. And that woman is Katya Singh Kadeer, the former's own sister. Save them and we will have the friendship of the Kader family, which will be very helpful for the expansion of the group's business in India!"

"I didn't expect you to ask so much news in such a short period of time!"

Katya was just a student who had just graduated from Cambridge Faculty of Medicine less than a year ago. If I can't even deal with a 23-year-old girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to become your assistant... Oh yes. Kajak is a top Indian beauty, and if the boss can seize the opportunity, it will be easier for us to develop here in the future. ”

Looking at Rebecca, who seemed to be smiling, Guo Shouyun shook his head helplessly, "When did you like pimping?"

"Pimping?"

Rebecca didn't understand the word. Guo Shouyun didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the restaurant. The injured person who was originally lying on the table had a large circle of bandages around his abdomen at this time, and his clothes had also been changed, revealing a trace of luxury of a successful person under the light.

"Boss!"

Seeing Guo Shouyun coming, Natu hurriedly said.

"What about the woman?"

"Go back to your room and change your clothes!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "How is he?"

"The bullet was taken out, and after bandaging, the situation has stabilized. However, because of the anesthetic injection, I haven't woken up yet. ”

"Thank you for saving my brother!"

Listening to the crisp voice coming from behind him, Guo Shouyun subconsciously turned his head to look. Soon, a tall woman wearing a T-shirt with dark purple and white flowers, skinny jeans and white tourist shoes, with long wavy hair scattered casually over her shoulders appeared in front of him.

The genes of the royal family have been screened for dozens of generations, and there is no doubt about being beautiful. But the beauty of the Indian woman in front of her made Guo Shouyun, who was used to seeing beautiful women, feel amazing.

It is also strange to say that in a country like India, where women are oppressed, it is actually a powerful country in the world that produces beautiful women. In the past years of Miss World, there is hardly any country other than Venezuela that can compare to India.

"Hello, my name is Katya, thank you so much for saving me and my brother!"

Looking at the white tender palm that took the initiative to reach out in front of him, Guo Shouyun reached out and shook it briefly, "It's just the right time." ”

Although the woman in front of her is beautiful, even stunning. and very similar to the Indian female doctor in the Jackie Chan movie "Kung Fu Yoga" that he once watched. But the current Guo Shouyun is no longer the hairy boy who was impulsive just because he was beautiful.

"We're leaving here soon, are you and your brother going to stay, or are you going to join us?"

"You're leaving?"

"Of course, without food and clean water, do you want to stay here and die?"

"The special forces have arrived, and they will be able to come to our rescue soon. ”

"Special forces? They have long been held hostage by terrorists. Moreover, the fifth floor is already on fire. Maybe it will burn here soon. I don't want to wait to die!"

"Boss, you're all set!" Matthew said.

"Let's go!"

Guo Shouyun strode to the balcony of the living room, the only room in the entire presidential suite that still had curtains. After looking at the situation outside through the binoculars, "Barry, Lao Luo, you two are the smallest and the fastest, and this reconnaissance mission will be handed over to you." Remember, in order to avoid inciting the doctrine of those Indian policemen outside, go down from the side of the balcony. ”

"Yes, boss!"

"Paul, Kasimov, you two monitor what's going on outside. Matthew, you have the best marksmanship here, so you have to use this AK well, as soon as the police on the opposite side become hostile and shoot at us... Kill him!" Guo Shouyun said fiercely.

Matthew nodded, though he wasn't a professional sniper when he was in the army. But the distance between the buildings outside is not even 100 meters. The defense line set up by the police is only about 40 meters, which is almost infallible with the ability of an AK assault rifle and his marksmanship.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Guo Shouyun took a deep breath.

"Action!"
