Chapter 926: The Emperor of India (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Mill? Ottoman? Ali Khan is definitely a smart man, otherwise he would not have been the princely lord of Hyderabad, let alone the princely lords of Hyderabad, and would not have been elected by the princes to visit Germany secretly. So, as soon as Vahit's words were finished, he knew what was in them.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the German Empire has expended a great deal of money in order to help India drive out the evil British, and countless valiant German soldiers have died on the battlefield. I and the other princes were very touched by this. What the other lords think, I don't know. However, Hyderabad is absolutely willing to contribute. Personally, I am willing to provide the German Empire with a military expenditure of five billion marks for the expenses of the German Empire's army on the battlefield! "Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan said.
Although, on the surface, he said that he looked calm and light. But in reality, his heart was dripping blood. Five billion marks is definitely a huge amount of money for him. Even if he is rich, taking out such a large amount of money can also be regarded as hemorrhage.
However, when you think that this is tied to the future distribution plan of India, Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan thought the money was worth it. As long as it is possible to have a territory as large as Hyderabad in the Gangetic Plain. Well, five billion marks, it will soon be earned. Investing now is all about being able to get more wealth in the future.
But Jean Mir? Ottoman? Something unexpected happened to Ali Khan. Vasit doesn't seem to care about the five billion marks he donated.
Of course, in fact Vahit saw Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan took out five billion marks without blinking an eye, and it is absolutely impossible to say that he is not shocked. After all, in this day and age, this is already a huge amount of money. Even some countries can't come up with so much money. These landlords are all rich and rich. This made Vahit firm in his desire to get more money from these princely lords in India. After all, it was a complete waste to leave that wealth to those princes. If Germany can have it, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the national strength of the German Empire again.
"Your Excellency, the good intentions of Hyderabad are appreciated by the Empire. However, this seems to be unfair to the other princely states. The Empire wanted to wait until the other princes had arrived in Berlin before discussing them. In this case, it is very fair to everyone. Vahit said calmly. Years of being a diplomat have allowed him to hide his feelings well.
Mill? Ottoman? Ali Khan suddenly screamed in his heart. If he waited until the other princes had arrived, it would not have been easy for him to obtain the rich lands of the Gangetic Plain. When the time comes, he may have to pay a greater price to do so. And these are definitely not what he wants. However, now that Germany is powerful, and the Germans have mastered India, it is naturally up to the Germans to decide how to distribute it. He simply did not have the right to object, nor did he have the qualifications to do so. If he dares to object, then he will be excluded. Even, more will be lost.
"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, I have not thought it through." Mill? Ottoman? Ali Khan said. At the same time, he also had a firm idea in his heart, and he had to go all out when the time came. Even if he donated all his wealth, he had to obtain the rich land of the Ganges Plain, or else he would be replaced among the princes of India. Moreover, to donate more wealth means to surrender to the Germans. Let the Germans see his sincerity, and if the German government can reuse him, then in the future, his status will be greatly improved, and he may even become the de facto ruler of India. After all, looking at this posture of the German government, it is not ready to rule India directly. If Germany were to prop up proxies in India, it would be the most loyal to the Germans.
Although, contributing all the family property, let Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan was very distressed, but he thought that he had to do it. Only in this way can the greater good be returned.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I have a proposal. Now that India is about to be completely occupied by the German army. Then, His Majesty the Emperor of the German Empire should be the Emperor of India. To the title of His Majesty the Emperor, it is completely deserved to add an Indian Emperor! "Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan proposed.
When the British colonized India, didn't an Indian emperor be added to the title of British king? Now, when it comes to the German emperor, that's perfectly suitable.
Besides, in addition to the title of German Emperor, Qin Tian also had other titles. For example, the king of the Kingdom of Prussia, the king of the Kingdom of Ukraine, the king of the Kingdom of Poland, etc. Of course, those were all concurrent titles, and the main one was the German Emperor. The role of these titles is more to mean that Qin Tian is the supreme ruler of these countries. Now adding the title of Emperor of India is also completely deserved. After all, India was now on the verge of being captured by the Germans. There was no objection to the whole of India being placed under German rule.
"Well, that's a good proposition. I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor! Vasit said with a smile on his face.
Mill? Ottoman? Ali Khan immediately decided that he had made the right move. The Germans really wanted to make their emperor the emperor of India. Of course, this also makes Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan was a little lost. It would be a lie to say that he had no ambitions for the throne of the Emperor of India. When the British ruled India, his ambitions were only buried deep in his heart. Now, with the Germans ruling India, he can only hide his ambitions. Because, the Germans were much more powerful than the British. If the ambition is revealed, it will die very ugly.
"Your Excellency, you should know that His Majesty the Emperor is also the Emperor of India, which is just a name. India is still ruled by you, the princes. However, India has hundreds of princely states, large and small, and there are too many to manage. It takes a local person of strength and prestige to manage. Personally, I am more optimistic about Your Excellency. However, everything must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor. Vahit said with a smile.
Suddenly, Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan, who had been a little cool, became hot again. <
