Chapter 925: Blackmail in disguise
"Your Excellency, do you really agree to give us those territories?" Mir Osman Ali Khan tried his best to control his emotions, but the excitement in his heart still couldn't be suppressed. He only felt as if he had been hit by a huge pie, which made him faint with excitement.
Originally, Mir Osman Ali Khan secretly visited Germany this time with only one purpose, that is, to ensure the interests of these princely states after the German occupation of the whole of India. To do this, they were willing to submit to Germany. Mir Osman Ali Khan even believed that if they wanted to achieve this goal, they would have to pay a lot of money. After all, they had previously submitted to the British, and Britain and Germany were bitter rivals. Now that Germany has won the war, those who have submitted to the British will inevitably be liquidated by Germany.
However, what Mir Osman Ali Khan never expected was that the Germans would be so good at talking. He agreed to their request and promised not to harm the interests of their princes. This made Mir Osman Ali Khan think that all this was true or not. If it weren't for the fact that the Germans had gained absolute superiority on the battlefield in India and were about to win the final victory, Mir Osman Ali Khan would have thought that there must be some conspiracy involved.
Now, to the surprise of Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Germans' plan for dealing with India was to divide the territories of India to these princes. That's the fertile land of the Ganges valley and the coastal areas! These lands were much more fertile and fertile than most of the princes' domains.
For example, Hyderabad, despite its vast area and large population, is known as the largest princely state in India. However, almost all of their territories are located on the Deccan Plateau. Compared to the rich Ganges River basin, there is naturally no comparison. If Hyderabad had been located in the Ganges Valley, the population under his rule would have been more than twice as large as it is now.
If Germany were to give those territories to their princes, if they were to get a rich piece of land, it would make Hyderabad much more powerful. In the same way, his wealth can be greatly increased. This is undoubtedly what Mir Osman Ali Khan desperately desired. After all, when the British colonized India, these were absolutely unimaginable.
"Of course, Your Excellency, what I said is true. All this is what His Majesty the Emperor meant. His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to you, the lords of the land. You and your family have ruled India for many years. In fact, you are the real elite of India. If it weren't for the British controlling India by force, but you ruling India, India would never be what it is now. We believe that if you rule India, India will develop very well! Washitt said.
When Mir Osman Ali Khan heard this, his heart was very comfortable. Indeed, to be able to become the largest princely lord of India, Mir Osman Ali Khan is not a fool, and likewise, the ancestors of his family are definitely not fools. It's not that they want to indulge in pleasure themselves, it's that the enemy is too strong for them to do. If they don't, then they may lose their lives. The British will not touch those who have no fighting spirit, but they will never let those who have lofty ideals and revenge continue to exist. It is for this reason that many princely lords have been raised as waste by the British.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, everything that has been done before was forced by the British, and we do not want to live like that. I pledge that from now on Hyderabad will be loyal to the German Empire, forever, and will never betray. I believe that the other princely states will be like Hyderabad! Mir Osman Ali Khan said.
Since Germany has given them so many benefits, it is natural that they should be loyal to Germany. After all, the German Empire is about to occupy all of India, unlike the German Empire, so wait to be destroyed! What's more, Germany has given them so many benefits. In particular, Germany is still the world's largest power, and hugging Germany's thick thighs tightly is undoubtedly only good and no bad for them.
The results of this trip to Germany have already made Mir Osman Ali Khan completely unbelievable.
"In that case, that's the best thing to do. The German Empire hoped to gain the allegiance of all the princely lords of India. As for the distribution of those territories of India, it is also directly doubled according to the current territory. Of course, the specific division needs to be further discussed. Washitt said.
Mir Osman Ali Khan only felt his breath become short. Directly double the territory! Such a good thing has never happened. If he could have such a territory on the Ganges Plain, then his strength would skyrocket many times over.
Mir Osman Ali Khan also heard what Vahitt meant, although Germany's plan for disposing of India was determined. However, it has not yet been determined where the land will be allocated to these princes. This means that everything is subject to change. The land of the rich plains and the land of the mountains are obviously two different things. For example, the states of Hyderabad and Kashmir are completely different things. Although there is not much difference in the size of the territory, the population of Hyderabad is several times that of Kashmir.
As soon as Vahit saw the expression on Mir Osman Ali Khan, he knew what he was thinking. People are selfish, and this is inevitable. And Germany also wanted to use the selfishness or selfish desires of these princes to seek more and greater benefits for the German Empire. In this way, the interests of the German Reich could be guaranteed.
"The exact distribution plan will not be determined until the Germans have completely occupied India. When the time comes, the empire will invite all the princes to come and discuss the future of India. Of course, hundreds of thousands of imperial troops fought in India and spent a lot of military spending. The princely states should also bear a share of the empire. This will be directly linked to the distribution scheme! Vahit said with a smile.
Mirosman Ali Khan immediately understood that if you want to be allocated a good place, it costs money. The more money you spend, the better the place you get. Obviously, the Germans wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune out of these wealthy princes.
