Chapter 903: Deception (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency the Governor, in this way, there is no doubt that we will be able to resist the invasion of the Germans. However, after our victory, do we really want to give independence to those indigenous Indians? "William? Lord Nicholson asked.
As the commander of the British forces in India and the commander of the British and Indian forces, he also knew the situation in India very well and knew how rich it was. For the British Empire, India has undoubtedly become the most important and indispensable colony. It can be said that if India can continue to control the British Empire, it will be able to greatly promote the re-emergence of the British Empire.
So, William? Lord Nicholson, too, doesn't want to really lose India. If India is lost, even if the British Empire rises again, it can only be a second-rate power, and it will never return to its peak state.
"Of course not! If we really beat Germany, then it's the fourth phase of those guys. When the time comes, I'll kill them all! "Charles? Baron Harding said.
It was a plan he had already hatched, and it was all about tricking the indigenous Indians into doing their part to resist the German invasion. When the Germans were really resisted, then the indigenous Indians would become unimportant. The so-called bird hides the bow as much as possible, and this is the truth.
"But wouldn't that cause even more chaos in India? When the time comes, our rule will also be overthrown by the Indians. "William? Lord Nicholson frowned. He thought that if he deceived the Indians like that, he would probably be in great trouble. After all, after this war, even if there are heavy losses, the military strength of the Indians will still be greatly improved.
"Your Excellency, therefore, think carefully about how we can consume the most radical and opposed to us in the war. With the help of the hands of the Germans, the radicals were eliminated. In this case, even if chaos breaks out in India, it will be easily suppressed. At that time, India will still be our colony. After all, a huge part of Indians have been tamed by us. They have willingly accepted our rule. As long as they don't starve, they won't resist. The only people who really rebelled against us were a handful of people. Got rid of them, and at the same time defeated the Germans. Then we can rest easy! "Charles? Baron Harding looked like he had everything under control.
"Your Excellency the Governor, if this plan can really be realized, then we will be the biggest winners!" William? Lord Nicholson said.
Although this plan is very risky, it is also very likely to succeed. On top of that, the benefits are staggering. So, no one can say no to that.
"Your Excellency, we will succeed. I think God will bless us! The British Empire will be revived in our hands. We will all be heroes of the British Empire. Our name will be forever remembered in the annals of history! "Charles? Baron Harding was very excited.
This time, Charles? Baron Harding was an elaborate hoax, one that wiped out all of India's elite. Use their desire for freedom and independence as bait for them to fight for the British Empire. At the same time, with the help of the hands of the Germans, these people were eliminated. In the end, after defeating the Germans, we will strike to wipe out all the remaining elites. In the end, they are the ones who benefit. Their rule in India will be truly stabilized as a result. It will be impossible for India to get rid of their colonial rule.
Next, Charles? Baron Harding issued an order inviting the leaders of the Congress and the Greens to the Governor's Palace to discuss the future of India.
Picked up Charles? After Baron Harding's invitation, Tirac, Gandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah gladly went. Although they all hated the British colonial rule over India, they all had to admit that the current British and Indian colonial authorities were not something they could resist.
In addition, the credibility of the colonial authorities is also trustworthy, so there is no need to worry that they will take this opportunity to attack them.
It's just that they don't know Charles? Baron Hardin had already dug the trap and was waiting for them to jump into it stupidly. Once they jump in, they really can't roll over again.
Charles? Harding invited only the Congress and Greens coalition because they are the only two largest parties in India. For the rest of the small parties, there is no need to invite them at all. As long as these two parties are convinced, then all problems will be solved.
On January 31, 1916, the leaders of the Congress and the Greens entered the Viceroy of India. To show that he valued them, Charles? Baron Harding even greeted him at the steps of the door. There is no doubt that this is already a great courtesy for these people.
Nehru, who was only in his twenties, was even very excited and excited. In his opinion, Charles? Baron Harding's actions were a recognition of them. This means that they have become the most important people in India.
"Welcome to the Governor's Palace, I'm very glad you're here!" Charles? Baron Harding's face smiled.
"Your Excellency the Governor, excuse me!"
The group did not stop at the gate of the Governor's Palace, in Charles? Baron Harding, led inside.
After some pleasantries, their conversation got to the point.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the British Empire has now suffered an unprecedented defeat. Even our homeland was occupied by the Germans. However, we believe that difficulties are only temporary. The British Empire has not given up its efforts until now. We firmly believe that we will be able to win in the future! "Charles? Baron Harding said.
It's just that how many people in Tirac are for Charles? Baron Harding's statement is noncommittal. The Germans were now so strong that they could not believe that the British had any chance of turning the tables around.
Of course, everyone didn't refute Charles? Baron Harding. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to get over the face.
"India, too, is in danger. The Germans, who were preparing to attack India. If the Germans attacked India, the whole of India would be killed and bloodied and suffer heavy losses. I don't think anyone wants to see India like this. "Charles? Baron Harding said.
