Chapter 1125 A Plan for the Disposition of India
"Your Majesty, there is a question on the part of the government, from the conclusion of the military, I! There will be no problem with the defeat of the British and Indian armies. But how do we manage India after we conquer it? Colonize India, like the British, plunder India's wealth, or do we do in the South Seas, annex India outright, annex India to China? Imperial Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked. With China's current military strength, it is very easy to defeat India, but it is not so easy to manage India. Even when Britain was at its strongest, it was often overwhelmed by the Indians. China's attack on India is to seize India's rich resources and interests, but if it wants to make a mess on its back, it will be inconsistent with the original intention of launching this war.
"India is rich in resources, and apart from steel and other minerals, the most important thing is arable land! India's three major grain-producing regions, the Punjab, the Bengal Plains and the Ganges Plains, all have fertile land and vast arable land. With the increasing population of the empire, although the food supply of the empire is now very abundant after obtaining the South Seas, don't forget that the population of the empire is growing very fast. Maybe in ten years, we'll have to expand the living space for the subjects of the Empire. Therefore, India must get our hands on it! Wang Yuze said. Before China acquired the South Seas, India had the second largest arable land in the world. It's just that the lazy Indians have wasted the arable land. There is no reason for China to give this fertile arable land to the Indians to waste.
"So, what do we do with those Indians? Or is it like Nanyang, using mercenaries to exterminate those Indians? Imperial Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked. When China immigrated to the Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas on a large scale, it raised a butcher's knife against the indigenous people of Southeast Asia, and many indigenous people fell under the butcher's knife of China. Of course, all of this was done by Japanese and North Korean mercenaries, and had nothing to do with China. But fools know that without China's instruction and support, the Japanese mercenaries and the Korean mercenaries would not have dared to do so. Japan and North Korea are simply carrying the blame for China. After several years of eradication by Japanese and Korean mercenaries in Southeast Asia, the indigenous population of South-East Asia has been reduced by at least more than half. Indonesians, in particular, were all sent to Sulawesi, and now there are only about 100,000 people left. Except for the Thais, who have fared better, the rest of the Southeast Asian ethnic groups are almost in dire straits.
Of course, this has also achieved a better life for the Chinese. Many Southeast Asian natives had to accept the employment of the Chinese, became their tenant farmers, cultivated the land for the Chinese, and endured the exploitation of the Chinese. And those natives who are unwilling to endure the exploitation of the Chinese have basically fled to the deep mountains and old forests and become savages.
Wang Yuze also frowned India is not comparable to Southeast Asia, the population of India is as high as 300 million, almost half of the Chinese. If China were to do the same in India as it did in Southeast Asia, it would not be possible. Therefore, how to settle these Indian Ah San has really become a big trouble.
"Your Majesty, what's the difficulty, after we defeat India, those Indians can deal with it as much as they want, if it really doesn't work, just let the Japanese and Koreans kill again. Anyway, they have already carried so many black pots, and this is not bad! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said indifferently. In his opinion, killing 10 million is killing, and killing 100 million is also killing!
"Master Zhang, how can this be done? There are 300 million people in India! If we slaughter all these Indians, I guess the whole world will be our enemy. Even the whole West will unite and do everything possible to destroy ours! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said immediately. India's population is too large for China to blatantly kill in India. Otherwise, the Western world will worry about whether the entire Western world will be the next target of China's massacre. After all, the population of the entire Western world combined is not much larger than India's.
"Since you can't massacre Indians on a large scale, but on the battlefield, there is no such limit! When the time comes, we can do without restrictions on the actions of Japanese and Korean mercenaries. They will definitely surprise us! Chief of the General Staff Cai Yun said. The Japanese mercenaries and the Korean mercenaries are very fierce on the battlefield now, but they are also very fierce outside the battlefield, and if China does not restrict them, they will definitely kill in India. Whether it is robbery or murder and arson, it will definitely cause a huge reduction in the population of India
"Lord Cai, this is not good! Even if Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries go on a killing spree, how many can they kill? Twenty million or fifty million? There are only 100 million people left in the sky, but there are still 200 million people left in India! This will not solve the problem fundamentally at all, Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said with a wry smile.
Everyone was silent, and no one doubted that China had the ability to do so. However, what to do with those Indians is a big problem. It is obviously unrealistic to kill all these Indians. In addition, it is not realistic to annex all India to China and let those Indians become Chinese citizens. The people of the empire will certainly not be willing to let those lazy Indian Ah San share their benefits. In this case, China will not have much to gain from defeating India
"Your Majesty, why don't we colonize India like the British! We can recklessly plunder India's wealth and resources. That way, there won't be any problems! Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong said. The British were able to plunder a lot of wealth from India every year, and if the Chinese plundered recklessly, they would definitely get even more wealth!
Wang Yuze did not express his position, according to Prime Minister Wu Tingfang's suggestion, although China can get a lot of benefits from India, but this is not what he wants to see. What Wang Yuze cares about most is India's fertile arable land, in addition to India's various resources and the huge market of 300 million people. This arable land is really wasted in the hands of Indians. Moreover, Indians will continue to multiply, faster than breeding pigs. India, which has a huge population, is not good in science and technology, and its industrial strength and military strength are even more rubbish, but that huge population alone can pose a huge threat to China. If China wants to become a world hegemon, it cannot allow such a powerful enemy to appear around it. In addition, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and as the Chinese population grows, the demand for food will increase. The sooner you seize more arable land, you can be considered to be ready for future generations.
"India! We can't give up! Wang Yuze said after glancing at the important ministers of the empire.
Everyone looked at Wang Yuze, and they had explained very clearly how to deal with the difficult problem of India, but Wang Yuze still insisted on annexing India. Then, Wang Yuze must already have a way to deal with India.
"As for the 300 million Indians, we can wipe them out on the battlefield, and all the Indians who dare to oppose us will be wiped out. As for the rest of the Indians, it is also well settled. We can deal with the Indians the same way we do with the Indonesian monkeys! Wang Yuze said.
Everybody's eyes lit up, and that's a great way to do it. China's approach to dealing with Indonesians is a classic. At the time of China's annexation, Indonesia's population was 30 million. However, during the war, a large number of Indonesians were killed, and all the remaining Indonesians were sent to Sulawesi, which is only a little more than a hundred thousand square kilometers. Sulawesi is not only small, but also mountainous, and simply cannot support so many Indonesians to live on it. In addition, the Chinese navy blockaded the entire island to prevent the Indonesians on the island from escaping. Now, there shouldn't be many Indonesians left on the island. If the same is done against the Indians, it is not impossible for India to have a larger population. But where do you find a suitable place? After all, if you want to stuff nearly 300 million people, it is impossible without an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
"As for where to drive those Indians? I guess that's not a problem. The essence of India is in the north, and the Deccan Plateau in the south, which has a large area but little arable land. We could have driven those Indians to the Gautakan Plateau. Then, on the dividing line between the Deccan Plateau and the north, a tight blockade was established. Mines were bought, barbed wire fences were drawn, and artillery and machine-gun firing points were built. I think that when the blockade is completed, only a hundred thousand people will need to be deployed to isolate the Indians from the north. When the time comes, the essence of northern India will belong to us, and the plateau of southern India will belong to India! Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"Haha! That's a good idea. Cai Yun, chief of the General Staff, first echoed. Other ministers also expressed support for the plan. In this way, China would be able to swallow up the land of northern India in one fell swoop.
"In addition, among Indians, there has always been a great deal of conflict between Muslims and Hindus who profess Islam. When we take India, we can support these Muslims and Hindus to establish their own state on the Deccan plateau. I think that the Deccan plateau is already very barren, and in order to compete for more living conditions, they will definitely fight. Maybe in a few years, the Indians will no longer be a threat to us! Wang Yuze said with a smile.
