The combat operations of the German army in India attracted the attention of the whole world. The British government, which was in exile in Canada, was particularly concerned. India was their best and richest colony, and losing India would have severely damaged the British Empire. But it would be nice if India could be used to hold the Germans back and drag them into the quagmire of war.

In that case, even if India was lost, the British Empire would not be at a loss. This is also the reason why when Baron Charles Harding reported to the cabinet asking for autonomy for Indians, and even allowing India to become independent, the British cabinet agreed.

However, the Indians, who now seem to have high hopes, could not stop the Germans from advancing at all. It's only been two months, and even the capital Delhi has fallen. At the same time, another German army group was also fighting in southern India, and the Anglo-Indian army was crushed. It seemed unlikely that the Anglo-Indian army, with its heavy losses, would want to drag the Germans to India, or turn India into a quagmire of war.

What's more, heavy losses and repeated failures have made both the Congress Party and the Green Party coalition disappointed with the British and Indian colonial authorities, and their cooperation is on the verge of collapse. Under such circumstances, it would have been even more impossible for the British to use the strength of the indigenous Indians to resist the German attack.

Such a result made the British cabinet very dissatisfied. However, they had no other way but to let the British and Indian colonial authorities drag the Germans as much as possible so that the Germans would not occupy India so easily.

Other countries thought that the German occupation of India was a foregone conclusion. India, a rich colony, is coveted by the world's major powers. The British occupied India before, and relying on India's wealth, they have been dominating the throne of world hegemony for hundreds of years. Now, instead of the Germans, they occupied India. It is foreseeable that Germany, which occupies India, will reap a lot of wealth from India. This will be of great help to India's national strength. If other countries want to compete with India, it will be even more difficult.

The imminent defeat of the British and Indian colonial authorities in India made the indigenous people of India have other ideas. Both the Congress and the Greens have sent people to Germany in the hope of reaching out to the German government so that they can achieve an outcome that is favorable to them. After all, deep down they still want India to gain independence.

Previously, they wanted independence from the British. But now, now that the British are no longer good. Then they will only be able to turn to the Germans. It's just that before they fully cooperated with the British and opposed Germany. It would be very difficult to get Germany to agree to let them become independent. What's more, Germany has just occupied India, and if it does not exploit India for a period of time, it will definitely not let India go if it recovers a lot of wealth from India.

In addition to these parties in India, there is another force in India, the princely lords of India. Today's India has nearly 600 princely states, large and small, such as Hyderabad, which owns nearly half of India's land and one-third of its population. At the time of the British rule in India, these princely states were subject to British rule. The princes were backed by England and maintained their rule.

However, now that the British rule in India is about to collapse, it means that the good days of these princely lords seem to be coming to an end. Therefore, those landlords also took active action.

In Berlin, the capital of Germany, Emperor Qin Tian was listening to India's combat operations.

"Your Majesty, at present, our combat operations in India are going very well. The Anglo-Indian army and the British army in India have been wiped out by more than half of our forces. Although, the expansion of the Anglo-Indian army continued. However, the Anglo-Indian army, which lacked weapons and equipment, lacked training, and even had no fighting spirit, was not at all a cause for concern. It is estimated that in about three months, we will be able to take the whole of India! Field Marshal Falkenhein, Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff, said with a proud face.

The German army defeated the Anglo-Indian army with millions or even tens of millions of troops with 400,000 men, and even if the combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian army was terrible, it was not easy to achieve such a dazzling victory. The series of victories of the German army in India undoubtedly proved once again that the German army's combat effectiveness is invincible in the world. As Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, Field Marshal von Falkenhain naturally had a bright face.

Qin Tian nodded: "The 4th Army and the 8th Army fought very well on the battlefield in India. In particular, the 8th Army, which successively defeated the main forces of the Anglo-Indian army, has now taken Delhi. ”

Qin Tian was undoubtedly very satisfied with the performance of the Ding Army on the battlefield in India. Originally, Qin Tian also thought that under the situation of the frantic expansion of the British and Indian armies, it would take a long time for the German army to capture the whole of India. If the war doesn't go well, it's entirely possible to fight for a year or two. In that case, the Germans themselves would have to pay a lot of money in order to capture India.

But what Qin Tian didn't expect was that the British and Indian troops would be so vulnerable and easily defeated by the Germans. Now it seems that in half a year at most, the Germans will be able to capture India. This would allow Germany to take India at minimal cost and then begin to harvest India's wealth. In this way, Germany's interests can be maximized.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Indian National Congress and the Greens coalition, want to talk to us!" This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reich, Vahit.

Qin Tian shook his head: "There's nothing to talk about!" What those people want is the independence of India, and the empire will never agree to it. Besides, they used to fully support the Anglo-Indian colonial authorities in the confrontation with the Empire, but now they see that the British are no longer good and want to turn to the Empire to achieve their goals, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world! ”

The military and political ministers of the empire nodded again and again, the empire conquered India, not to liberate those indigenous Indians, but to enslave and exploit them. Therefore, the people of the Congress Party and the Imperial Government were inherently enemies.

"In addition to the Congress party, Mir Osman Ali Khan, the princely state of Hyderabad in India, wants to make a secret visit to Germany." Vahit said.

"Princes of Hyderabad?" Qin Tian touched his chin.

Of course, he knew about Hyderabad, the largest princely state in India. Now, it is obviously not so simple for the princes of Hyderabad to want to visit Germany secretly.
