The capital of India, Delhi.

It had been almost four years since the Anglo-Indian colonial authorities moved the capital from Calcutta back to Delhi in 1912. Another time and space, Delhi has been the capital of India ever since. In addition, the construction of New Delhi began in 1911. However, it has not yet been built, so the Governor's Palace is also located in Delhi.

The current Viceroy of India, is Charles? Baron Harding, he also has a title, which is Vice King of India. Because after the Emperor of India was abolished by the British colonial authorities, the Emperor of India was concurrently held by the King of the British Empire. The Viceroy of India is also known as the Vice-King of India, the supreme ruler of India.

It stands to reason that India's wealth is known to the whole world. Being a Viceroy of India is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing. After all, a little wealth from India during his tenure will not be used up for the rest of his life.

Charles? Baron Harding had been the Viceroy of India since 1910, and in the years he had amassed a fortune. Originally, his term of office ended this year. However, the British Empire lost the damned war, losing even its homeland and being able to survive in Canada. Charles? Baron Harding's ascent was naturally cut off. Originally, he wanted to return to his home country to become a cabinet minister after his term ended. After earning enough money for retirement in India, I went back to my homeland. But now, it's all in vain.

That's why this period has been since Charles? The reason why Baron Harding sped up the pace of making money. He had already reported to the British Cabinet that he would be able to step down from his post as Viceroy of India as soon as possible. Although India is still far away from Europe, the flames of war will not burn India for a while. But, Charles? Baron Harding was still not at ease. He knew that the greedy Germans would not let India go. It won't be long before the Germans will hit India.

But alas, his report was not approved. In peacetime, if anyone wants to step down as Viceroy of India early, he will definitely be scolded as a fool. However, at this time, it is a fool who goes to succeed the viceroy of India. It is precisely because there is no successor that the British government does not dare to approve Charles? The resignation of Baron Harding demanded that he remain in the position of Viceroy of India for the benefit of the British Empire from India.

The British cabinet also knows that India may not be able to keep it, so it asks Charles? Baron Harding, trying to regain India as much as possible during this time, transported some supplies to Canada. If it loses a fortune, I am afraid that the finances of the British government, which is in exile in Canada, will be in trouble. When the time comes, they will only be able to sit back and eat. It is clear that the millions of people in Canada alone cannot afford to support the British government. After all, the British government has been committed to developing its military in order to take revenge. And to develop the army, it requires a huge amount of money.

Charles? Baron Harding is also worried about this matter. Especially after learning that the German army had begun to attack Egypt, he was very worried. He knew that after taking Egypt, the Germans would attack India soon. When the time comes, will they be able to hold India? That's almost unlikely.

"Your Excellency, Lord Nicholson asks to see you!" The secretary said.

"Your Excellency, please come in, and in addition, bring in two cups of black tea." Charles? Baron Harding commanded.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary nodded and immediately went to get ready.

William? Lord Nicholson, the commander of the British forces in India and the commander of the Anglo-Indian forces, can be said to have the entire Indian army under his control. Him and Charles? The two Barons Harding control the military and political power of India. Of course, in terms of position, Charles? Baron Harding is the supreme ruler of India, William? Lord Nicholson is to do his bidding. It's just that, in practice, once the war in India starts, William, as the leader of the military? Lord Nicholson, more power. To win the war, Charles? Baron Harding needs to cooperate with him. Otherwise, once you lose, the consequences will be very serious, and no one can afford it.

Soon, William, dressed in military uniform? Lord Nicholson walked in.

"Your Excellency the Governor, good morning!" William? Lord Nicholson said hello.

"Hello, Your Excellency, please be seated!" Charles? Baron Harding nodded.

Wait until the secretary brings the black tea, Charles? Baron Harding began to ask.

"Your Excellency, how is the situation now?" Charles? Baron Harding asked.

"Your Excellency, the situation is very bad. The Germans have already taken the Suez Canal. It is estimated that soon they will enter the Middle East. We are retreating from the Middle East, and the indigenous forces in the Middle East are not reliable. If you want to resist the Germans, it is almost impossible. "William? Lord Nicholson's face was not very good-looking. As the commander of the British forces in India and the commander of the British and Indian forces, the pressure he was under was undoubtedly very great. As soon as the Germans attacked, he had to lead his troops to the top. And whether he could withstand the German attack, he was really not sure at all.

"Alas! This war seems inevitable. After so many years of the British Empire's domination of India, it seemed that it was coming to an end. "Charles? Baron Harding sighed.

He is obviously not very optimistic about the next war. It is no wonder that the German army was too strong, and the strength of the British and Indian troops in India was too bad to withstand the German attack.

William? Lord Nicholson nodded, "Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. We'll do our best. If we can delay here longer, we will be able to evacuate more people and supplies from Australia and elsewhere to Canada in preparation for our resurgence. In the future, maybe we will have a chance to defeat the Germans! ”

"India has a population of more than 300 million, and we have ruled India for so many years, and we can be regarded as having a basis for rule. If it is done well, it may not be impossible to turn India into a quagmire of war. When the time comes, the Germans will be trapped here, constantly depleting their national strength. In that case, we will all be heroes of the British Empire! "Charles? Baron Harding said.

In the absence of a resignation, Charles? Baron Harding also wanted to open it. Since you can't go, let's do more for the British Empire. Anyway, he has already transferred most of his wealth to Canada. That money is enough for his family to live comfortably for several lifetimes.
