Chapter 565

“…… India under British rule is like a fairy tale. Pen "Fun" There, www.biquge.info the white colonies were guarded by Indians with scarves, on the Deccan Plateau, where the sun was blazing on the heads of British tax officials, who were everywhere collecting taxes and nourishing the colonial government and Britain, in the summer resorts of the Himalayas, where dances were held day and night, where people enjoyed European delicacies at sumptuous feasts, on the lawns of clubs in Kolkata, cricket matches were played one after another, and in the desert lands of Rajasthan, polo was played against gentlemenIn the jungles of Assam, tiger hunting and elephant hunting were the basic entertainment of gentlemen...... Under the verandah inside the club "for the white race," a group of people leisurely sipping whiskey mixed with soda, convinced that they are superior to other races. The vast Indian continent provided the British with requirements that could not be met by a small island nation, and a vast world to satisfy their desire for adventure. In their prime, they cowered and landed on the Bombay Pier, and thirty or forty years later, they left, their once pale complexion tanned by the sun, and of course their bodies covered in scars. It's a memorial to a bullet or a tropical disease, or a leopard's claw, or a horse injury sustained in a polo match, but all of them are full of spirits and proud of their legendary life in the last magical empire. ”

Facing the Czech Republic in front of him, the ambassador of the Russian Empire to China, Li Ziyuan described the life of the British in India in a calm but jealous tone.

“…… The British families who were a little more famous there had a ballroom and a dining room large enough to accommodate dozens of people. Almost every family dinner is attended by dozens of guests, and behind each guest stands a waiter. Merchants never attend such feasts, and certainly not any Indians, because no one wants to associate with them......"

In Li Ziyuan's description, there was a hint of yearning in the eyes of the Czech Republic, he knew that what the other party said was the truth, and he also knew that in British India, those British colonial officials lived a prosperous life, but it was "British India" after all.

"Your Excellency, there is India!"

Balyuczecho gave a timely reminder.

"It's the British India!"

At the time of saying this, Baryucz did not notice the jealousy that flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, almost, every one of us would be jealous of what the British have there, how unfair it is that they own the whole of India, so rich in the subcontinent of South Asia, completely occupied by the British!"

Staring at Baryuczech, Li Ziyuan's tone became sighing and helpless.

"It is absurd and unacceptable that such a large South Asian subcontinent belongs only to the British, and now, given that we are at war with the British, it is very likely that our army will be able to enter India in the coming months!"

Enter India!

At this time, Li Ziyuan did not indicate China's actions with "attacking India", but chose to "enter".

"You're going to attack India!"

Baryuczecho looked at the other party in surprise, as if he did not understand the other party's suggestion.

"Not to attack, but to enter!"

Shaking his head, Li Ziyuan spoke.

"Just a month ago, our army had already conquered Rangoon, and in Rangoon, we were going to put Bahadur, who was under house arrest by the British? Sha II rescued ......"

When Li Ziyuan said this, Baliucz's face suddenly changed sharply, he knew very well, Bahadur? Who is Shah II, he is the last emperor of India, in the Indian uprising 4 years ago, he had risen up against the British colonizers to capture Delhi, and attacked the Mughal palace Red Fort, killed 5 British, and proclaimed the Mughal Emperor Bahadur? Shah II was Emperor of India. Soon after the fall of Delhi, Bahadur? Sha II surrendered to the British and was exiled by the British and Indian authorities to Rangoon, Lower Burma, where he remained imprisoned until a month earlier, when the Chinese conquered Rangoon, Burma, and freed him.

"Will we respond to Bahadur? An invitation from Shah II to India! ”

Li Ziyuan smiled and explained the reason for China's entry into India.

"When we enter India, will we not only restore Bahadur? The reign of Sha II would also abolish the policy of "no heirs" pursued by the British there! ”

The policy of "no heirs and no power" was the policy of Lord Dalhousie, the Viceroy of India, who pursued decades ago in order to continue to annex all of India. That is, in the absence of a direct succession to the throne, the princely states were directly under the rule of the East India Company, and refused to allow the princes to choose an heir in the absence of an heir. Previously, according to local tradition, it was generally recognized that the succession to the throne by the princes in the major princely states such as Satara, Tangapur, Sambar, Jhansi, Jaipur, Udaipur and Bhagat.

"Not only that, but we will also return the princely states that the British have taken under their direct administration, such as Satara, Tangapur, Sambar, Jhansi, Jappur, Udaipur and Bhagat, to bring the Indians back to their traditions......"

When Li Ziyuan explained China's plans for India in the future, Baryuczech's heart beat violently, and his breathing became rapid. Because as early as a few months ago, it was the Foreign Ministry Shangshu in front of him who told him that China supported Russia's occupation of India, and now, the Chinese's thinking has completely changed.

This was despite the fact that three years earlier, the Viceroy of India had suspended the unequal treaties imposed by the East India Company and the princely states in relation to the "loss of rights" and continued to implement other treaties. 40% of India's territory and 25% of its population remained in 562 major princely states and princely territories, still ruled by princely lords and princes, but 60% of India's land and 75% of its population were already controlled by the British in the process of "losing power", and now, the Chinese want to return those lands to the heirs of the princely lords.

What so-called restoration of Indian traditions, it is just an excuse, an excuse to enter India, to gain the support of the locals, how much power to return in the end, how to return, is not still the Chinese, no Russian, no stranger to this, because in Russia's expansion, there have been countless times through similar ways to achieve expansion.

Even in the opinion of Baryuczecho, if Russia wanted to enter India, similar measures should be taken in order to destroy the basis of British rule in India and gain the support of the locals.

But now, Li Ziyuan's words have made the Baru Czech vigilant, are the Chinese ready to leave Russia alone?

"Your Excellency Shangshu, if I'm not mistaken, we have already reached some preliminary consensus on the Indian issue!"

Of course, there is no consensus, and the so-called consensus is only that the two sides are China acquiescing to Russia's occupation of India, and other than that, the two sides have not engaged in any in-depth negotiations.

"Consensus?"

The corners of Li Ziyuan's lips lifted and he said with a smile.

"Mr. Ambassador, what we must see is that the war has broken out so far, but your government is still vacillating in dealing with the British, and now we are facing a problem, either we will attack India, or we will wait for the British to mobilize their forces in India, Mr. Ambassador, if it were Russia, what choice would you make?"

What kind of choice Russia will make, Li Ziyuan does not know, but he knows very well that the current India is equal to a piece of fat, and for China, all it needs is to show this piece of fat to Russia, so as to drag them into the water.

"This ......"

Baryucz squeaked at first, then explained.

"Your Excellency, you should know that there are still many controversies in St. Petersburg on the issue of Britain, but it is certain that India is a prerequisite for Russia's involvement in this war......"

As a diplomat, Baryuczecho naturally knew how to fight for Russia's interests, and he also knew that India's wealth was in the interests of the Russian Empire, so he was so impatient when China revealed that they would abandon Russia and unilaterally attack India.

Will Russia get involved in this war?

For the current Baryuczechos, he is not very clear, but he knows very well that in St. Petersburg, no one can resist the temptation from India, the Middle East, Persia, India, once these lands are included in Russia, Russia will become the largest empire in the world, Russia will build a railway, starting from St. Petersburg, through the plain, and then through the Caucasus, through Persia, to Calcutta, and in the title of Tsar, there will be more titles such as King of Persia, Emperor of India, etc.

No one will say no! But when will St. Petersburg enter India? It's not just a matter of time.

"And, Your Excellency, we must be clear that now Russia is making final preparations for entering Persia, and now that Russian troops are advancing towards Adygea in the North-West Caucasus, and soon the rebel forces there will be disintegrated, and then we can send more troops to Persia and from there we will attack India......"

For the occupation of Persia, the ignorant and backward country, the Paluzecho never felt that there was any problem, in fact, in the conquest agenda of the Russian Empire, it had been included in the "conquest table" a long time ago, but because of the opposition of the British, it could only be put aside for the time being, and now everything was laid out in advance, and Persia would be a springboard for Russia to occupy India,

"Your Excellency, now, if your country occupies India, Persia will not be a problem for Russia, after all, Persia is not a British colony, and I believe that they will be willing to sacrifice the interests of Persia and even the Balkans and Turkey at any time in exchange for the neutrality of Russia!"

Now Baryuczech's words are undoubtedly a warning, a warning to Li Ziyuan, that China's occupation of India will touch the interests of Russia, which is greedy, and has the same greed for land and wealth as the Mongols, and because of this, when they first faced the temptation from India, they had already indefinitely regarded India as their own meal.

Li Ziyuan is of course happy to see this change in the Russians, but on the surface he is expressing himself and China's dissatisfaction.

"Time!"

Again, Li Ziyuan emphasized one of the most critical issues.

"We are all very clear that the current situation cannot wait, we are curious, when will Russia launch an attack on Persia, now, in order to resist our attack on India, more than 200,000 Anglo-Indian troops are deployed in Bengal, for the Indian Governor of Calcutta, now the threat from China is the most important threat, Your Excellency, Ambassador, now that India has opened its doors to you, the question is, when will you act?"

China needs Russia to get involved in this war, and in order to win this war, China does not mind sacrificing some of its own interests, for example, on the Indian issue and on the issue of many other British colonies, it can be generous to others, and use British colonies in exchange for Russians and French to get involved in this war, and even willing to lure the British into a trap through some actions, just like now, When the British governor of Calcutta transferred hundreds of thousands of Anglo-Indian troops to Bangladesh to prevent China from entering India, Li Ziyuan lobbied the Russians to attack India from behind.

"This ......"

Baliuczech, who was originally preparing to buy time for Petersburg, finally changed the topic and looked at Li Ziyuan and said.

"Your Excellency, I think it is all the more necessary for us to have real negotiations on the question of India, and we must reach an agreement with your country on the future ownership of British India and other regions before Russia enters India, and if this issue cannot be resolved, I believe that it is impossible for St. Petersburg to make an immediate decision, after all, for St. Petersburg, interests, Russia's interests are the most important, and I, as a diplomat, The only thing that can be done is to secure Russia's interests at the negotiating table, don't you think? Your Excellency Shangshu? ”

The unconcealed straightforwardness of the Paluzzeville is in fact the core of secret diplomacy, where everything is based on the interests of a third country, and the two sides agree on the division of interests, and then report back to each country, and in the end, the rich return of interests will make the country respond in the short term.

Faced with this suggestion from Baryucchi, Li Ziyuan's heart jumped suddenly, and then said seriously.

"As for the division of British India, Lower Burma must belong to China!"
