Chapter 906: The Emperor's Confidence (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Berlin, Germany, General Staff.

Kaiser Qin Tian, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff von ? Field Marshal Falkenhein, Admiral Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer, the head of the intelligence bureau, Admiral Bai Laiming, were gathered here.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies Marshal, according to the information we have received, India is now in a frenzied expansion of its army. With the mobilization of the Congress and the Greens, countless young Indians have signed up for the army. In a very short period of time, I am afraid that the British and Indian armies will grow explosively! Admiral Bai Laiming said with some concern.

"How so? How did the Congress and Green coalitions get involved with the Anglo-Indian colonial authorities? Qin Tian frowned. Although India is only a colony, it has a population of more than 300 million. If Germany had a population of more than 300 million, Qin Tian would have the confidence to dominate the whole of Europe in the last world war. With a population of more than 300 million, tens of millions or even more troops can be easily mobilized! It is a pity that Germany has only a population of more than 50 million, and it has reached the limit of mobilizing three or four million troops without affecting the future of the country.

Fortunately, the populous countries of this era are not developed, otherwise, it would be impossible for Western countries to dominate the world.

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain also had an ugly face, and according to the plan, the Germans would only send two army groups to attack India. The two group armies, after reorganization, were only 400,000 men. Compared to the number of troops that India can mobilize, 400,000 people are undoubtedly less than a fraction of them.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the German army was naturally not comparable to that of the Indians.

"How big is the Anglo-Indian army likely to be?" Reinhart? Field Marshal Scheer asked.

"Judging from the current situation, according to incomplete statistics, the size of the Anglo-Indian army may be expanded to more than five million! Of course, given India's huge population, there is no problem at all if they expand their army further. Admiral Bai Laiming continued.

"In other words, as long as the British are willing, the strength of the British and Indian armies will be further expanded, even if it is expanded to tens of millions, then there is no problem!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Theoretically, there was no problem in expanding the Anglo-Indian army to 10 million. Admiral Bai Lai Ming said.

"However, even if the Indian colonial authorities expanded to such an army, they did not have enough weapons and equipment to arm that many troops. According to our estimates, they have a maximum of 3 million people with weapons and equipment. Of course, a large number of merchant ships from North America dock in India every day, and these merchant ships are probably transporting weapons and equipment. So, the number of Anglo-Indian troops is also growing rapidly! ”

"No! The British could no longer be allowed to transport those weapons and equipment to India. In that case, we will pay a greater price for taking India. Marshal Scheer, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet departed? Let them blockade India as soon as possible. From now on, not a single piece of weapons and equipment can be allowed to flow into India! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Reinhart? Marshal Scheer nodded.

Both the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet are ready to go. It's just that the home port of the fleet hasn't landed yet, so it didn't set off. Now that the situation is urgent, there is no longer so much to care about. At most, send a few more supply ships. After the army has conquered India, it will slowly determine the home port of the fleet.

"Your Majesty, even if we blockade India, I'm afraid we won't be able to prevent the British and Indian troops from acquiring weapons and equipment. According to the information we have received, the British had expanded the size of India's arsenal as early as a year earlier. Now India's arsenals are capable of producing hundreds of thousands of rifles per year. It was even possible to produce machine guns and light artillery. It's just that there aren't many of them. Admiral Bai Lai Ming said.

"The British had expected that they would lose, so they prepared in advance. But what if that were the case? After the blockade of India, they will not be replenished with at least heavy weapons! As long as we do it quickly, we can defeat them before they can arm more troops! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several people replied.

"Your Majesty, do you need us to increase our troops?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

"Not yet! The British hastily armed the Indians. It's just an empty superiority in forces. In fact, how much combat effectiveness can those troops that have just been armed? I doubt that. As long as we start the war against India as soon as possible, those troops who have not even completed their training will be nothing more than cannon fodder after they are engaged in the operation. Our elite troops, it is easy to defeat them. On the battlefield, once the army is defeated, those recruits become rout, and the consequences are very serious! Qin Tian said with a smile.

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain nodded, although the size of the Anglo-Indian army was very intimidating. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is naturally very rubbish. If the two elite armies of the Germans had behaved well, it would not have been impossible to defeat them.

"However, I wonder how the Congress and the Greens alliance could cooperate with the British and Indian colonial authorities at this juncture. Didn't they always oppose the British and Indian colonial authorities? Qin Tian asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In order to fight for India's independence, the Congress and the Greens had a very serious contradiction with the British and Indian colonial authorities. This time they will cooperate, and it will also be beyond our expectations. The reply from our intelligence officers was that the British promised to resist our attack as long as they were in India. Allow the Indians to be given full autonomy, and even after a few years, let India stand on its own! Admiral Bai Laiming reported.

"What? Just because of this, they fully cooperated with the British? Qin Tian was completely speechless.

Those Indian Ah San, they are inevitably too easy to deceive. Even Qin Tian, an outsider, could see that all this was just a scam by the British. But they still foolishly believed it. This made Qin Tian regret it a little, he knew that they could also deceive those Indian Ah San in this regard? In this case, it will probably be much easier for them to take India.

However, it is too late to say anything now.

"Well, since the indigenous Indians have supported the British, we have no other way but to conquer them by force. I believe that the mighty German Empire will be able to conquer India! Qin Tian said confidently.
