On December 20, Canning, as the Queen's Viceroy of India, recognized the independence of the princely states of India on behalf of the British government, and ordered all armed forces subordinate to the colonial government to lay down their arms and surrender to the people of India on the premise of preserving their property and personal safety.

Although it is impossible for Bangladesh to establish a state in a short period of time due to the intricate sectarian contradictions and the fact that there is no time to coordinate with various interest strata, it does not prevent all sectors of Kolkata society from setting up December 20 as the national holiday of Bangladesh in the future.

Of course, this Bangladesh is different from the later Bangladesh in that it encompasses the entire territory of West Bengal and Bangladesh in India, with a total area of about 230,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 40 million at that time!

You know, a place the size of Russia, with a total population of only 60 million, a narrow land and a huge population, as well as the reality of the mixing of Hindus, Baibailin and Burmese refugees, doomed Bangladesh to be a country of civil strife and extreme poverty in the future.

But this has nothing to do with Wang Feng, he only secretly instructed Nanhai Province and Dulong Province to step up their infiltration into the seven northeastern states belonging to modern India, and the means are mainly peaceful, and strive to bring these seven states into China's jurisdiction as soon as possible through cultural and economic influence, after all, there are many mountainous areas in this area, and the cost of military conquest is very high.

Generally speaking, mountainous areas are the nightmare of great powers, the most famous of which is Afghanistan, which has the title of imperial cemetery, from ancient times to the present, from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan, from the British Empire to the United States, Afghanistan has experienced the invasion of almost all the great powers in history, but it has stood tall, according to statistics. A total of 24 countries that surrounded Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States and the Tang Dynasty in ancient China attempted to annex Afghanistan, but none of them succeeded, and at most they occupied it for a short period of several decades, and the price paid was a sharp consumption of national strength.

Wang Feng has fully learned a lesson and has always been very friendly to the people in the mountainous areas. For example, the Chinese refugees living in northern Vietnam, the Miao and Lika ethnic groups distributed in the mountains of western Hunan, the ethnic groups in northern Myanmar, and the seven northeastern states of India will also feel his friendship and sincerity.

With Canning's orders, groups of British troops laid down their arms and left India with their relatives and merchants from the nearest sea outlet, which meant that India was freed from British colonial rule, and Britain also gave up its dominion over India.

Starting from Bengal, from south to north. From east to west, the princely states declared their independence, the original princely states became kings, and the British territories were unsurprisingly trapped in a power vacuum because the princely states were abolished.

How many princely states are there in the Indian subcontinent? According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 600 of them, large and small. In the past, there was an English father, and the lords of the princely states did not dare to mess around. Now that there are Chinese, everyone can bear it, but everyone knows that sooner or later the Chinese will have to leave, and that will be the time when Indian states or states will fall into strife and civil strife.

All of a sudden, on the Indian subcontinent. The wind is surging, and the states are either merging alliances, or expanding their armies and purchasing armaments, all of which are preparing for war, and many people think of Wang Feng. We hope to establish relations with China and use China as a backer to ensure our own security.

However, Wang Feng adhered to the principle of non-interference in India's internal affairs, and all those who came to visit him, including some of his old friends in India, such as Assaf in Hyderabad. Jah V, from the princely state of Baroda King Gampatrao, Wadia IV of the Wadia dynasty.

In addition to signing an arms deal agreement, Wang Feng has always been the same, such as reaffirming the equality and friendship between China and India, urging all parties in India to face the situation calmly and show sincerity to bring peace to the Indian continent, and also solemnly calling on all parties to sit down and negotiate and strive to work out a timetable for India's reunification.

That's right, verbally, Wang Feng is in favor of India's reunification.

Just sent away Wadia IV, Wang Feng had a feeling of being overwhelmed, because Li Hongzhang was sent to Turkey by him three days ago, which made every king who came to visit need him to receive him personally, especially in the past two days, with the expansion of the spread of news, it is the peak period of the king of land's visit, and he needs to receive several people every day, facing different people, saying the same thing, even if Wang Feng has trained himself into a professional politician, there is a feeling of unbearable.

"Even the Brits at Canning are gone, when are you going to return home? It's already January. Zhou Xiuying glanced at Wang Feng helplessly.

Wang Feng slumped in his chair and said weakly: "Next month, at least everyone who should meet should meet, make clear China's position, persuade all states to settle disputes by peaceful means, and lest the British mutter behind their backs, saying that we have bad intentions to stir up India, in short, finish the scene, anyway, the troops of the three group armies are deployed in the northwest, even if the Russians suddenly attack, they will not be in a hurry." ”

"Humph!" Zhou Xiuying snorted lightly: "I think you want to sell more arms, sell all the weapons that have been replaced in the army to the Indians, and shout peace on your lips, and at the same time sell special weapons in a blink of an eye." ”

Over the past few years, the weapons of the Democratic Alliance have been updated very frequently, not only have the Minnie guns been replaced with May Fourth rifles in batches, but even the artillery has also been eliminated in large quantities.

In fact, at that time, the level of steelmaking was very low, and by the end of the nineteenth century, the most famous Hanyang steel mill in China was making scrap steel, which could not be used in artillery at all, including Japan at the same time, and the level was roughly the same.

It's just that China and Japan have taken different paths, the Qing court is laissez-faire, allowing the Hanyang steel mill to go bankrupt until it closes down, while Japan is buying back the locally produced scrap steel, and then improving the quality of steel at a price six to seven times that of European and American steel, and meeting the needs of the military industry at any cost.

Of course, China does not need to take such a tortuous path, because Wang Feng, a science student, can point out the problems existing in steelmaking, put forward targeted improvement measures, and gradually improve the level of China's steelmaking.

In the past two years, China's crude steel, on the quality of the British and French production is slightly better, the quality of the improvement, brought about the leapfrog development of lathe machinery, often a cannon production is not long ago, better steel grades and better lathes followed, so the military industry department used new technology to produce artillery, which led to the frequent replacement of artillery.

At the same time, the research on alloy steel has also achieved gratifying results, which has also promoted the upgrading of artillery to a certain extent.

Although the quality of the weapon has been improved, the technology and production standards are the same, and the newly baked guns do not affect the actual combat, compared with the old weapons, they are nothing more than stronger, more durable, and the body is also developing in the direction of lightness.

Weapons are updated frequently, there is an urgent need to find a way out for the old weapons, the six countries in Southeast Asia are small, can not digest too many Democratic Alliance weapons, Dajin has a sufficient population, but he alone is not enough, obviously, more than 600 states in India, hundreds of millions of people, is the most ideal arms sales target!
