"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is so right. Since Indians are so rich? Why do we have to keep the contract? After defeating the British, we will directly replace the British, rule India, and harvest India's wealth. In this way, the financial pressure of the empire can be greatly relieved! General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, also said. Obviously, he was also stimulated by the wealth of Indian Ahsan. This wealth, in the hands of the Indians, was merely squandered by their pleasures. If it were to be acquired by the Chinese Empire, then the Chinese Empire would use it to build a powerful empire, an empire that would replace the British Empire as the world hegemon.

Long Yufei was a little hesitant, that day, he was also very jealous of India's wealth, the reason why the British were able to maintain the status of the world hegemon before was inseparable from India's continuous blood transfusion. If the Chinese Empire can replace India, then the Chinese Empire will also be able to get a stable pocket. Of course, the Chinese Empire will take the same approach as the British, that is, desperately scraping India's wealth, rather than building India. The Chinese Empire is not obliged to build a strong and rich India for those lazy Indians. It would be better for them to continue to weaken like this, so that the security of the Chinese Empire will not be affected. After all, India is the second most populous country after the Chinese Empire.

In addition, what worries the Chinese Empire is whether the Indians will rebel against the Chinese Empire? The great Indian national uprising in history does not seem to be long away. But. Because of the outbreak of the world war, these Indians probably would not have revolted at this point in time. But. A major war between the Chinese Empire and the British in India would certainly make the situation in India even more chaotic. When the time comes. Once the British are defeated, those Indians may really awaken to their national consciousness. If the Chinese Empire wants to continue to colonize India, it will not be so easy. Maybe there's a mess ahead.

If there is turmoil in India, with a population of 200 million, it will undoubtedly become a quagmire of war. At that time, the Chinese Empire will become a mutton that has not been eaten, and it will cause a commotion. Long Yufei wouldn't do such a thing.

"We still need to take a long-term view of India's affairs. But. I promised the Indians first, and then I got a billion Chinese dollars! Long Yufei said. In fact, it is also a very good idea to prop up an agent in India, and then let the Chinese Empire rule India behind the scenes. It's just that the Mughal royal family, as a royal family that has ruled India for hundreds of years, will they be willing to act as a puppet of the Chinese Empire?

"Yes, Your Majesty! As long as the Mughal Emperor Bahadur. If Shah II had no objection, we would have been able to formally sign the treaty. Since the Mughal royal family is so rich. Surely they will not object. Prime Minister Lin Zihao nodded.

"Hmm!" For the Chinese Empire, a billion Chinese dollars is not a lot. At the very least, it can meet the military expenditure required for the war against India at this stage. As for what kind of policy the empire will adopt in India after the defeat of the British, it will only be seen when the time comes.

Mirza. Jahan. On the same day, Prince Shah sent a telegram to Delhi through the secret stronghold of the Mughal Empire in the territory of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire actually asked for a total of 3 billion Chinese dollars. This made the Mughal Emperor Bahadur. Shah II and Crown Prince Mirza. Dara was a little dissatisfied. After all, although the Mughal Empire was rich, their wealth was not something to be squandered wantonly.

But. If they did not accept the terms of the Chinese Empire, the safety of the Mughal royal family itself would be affected. As stated on the part of the Chinese Empire. Now the whole of India is under the blockade of the Chinese Imperial Navy. What kind of approach will the Indian colonial authorities take against the Mughal royal family? In case these Britons are really mad and really attack the Mughal royal family. Then the Mughal Empire would be finished. In addition, it would be very cost-effective for the Chinese Empire to keep its contract and increase the security of the Mughal Empire for up to five years after defeating the British.

After some discussion, the Mughal Emperor Bahadur. Shah II and Crown Prince Mirza. Dara agreed to the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire. Subsequently, Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah signed a secret treaty on behalf of the Mughal Empire and the Chinese Empire. The treaty stipulated that the Chinese Empire would help the Mughal Empire drive out the British and support the Mughal Empire's restoration of rule over India. The Mughal Empire, on the other hand, had to pay 200 million Chinese dollars to the Chinese Empire for the war, and after the war, it paid 200 million Chinese dollars a year to the Chinese Empire for the occupation troops. This money is undoubtedly equivalent to the protection fee paid by the Mughal Empire to the Chinese Empire.

In Mirza. Jahan. When Prince Shah signed a treaty with the Chinese Empire on behalf of the Mughal Empire, a merchant ship flying the flag of the Chinese Empire sailed into a port in the city of Huaxia. Two young men disembarked from the merchant ship, although they were both dressed in suits and leather shoes. However, the dark skin betrayed their identity. Except for the black people, probably only these Indian Ah San have the darkest skin! However, according to the research of later generations of brick family called beasts, these Indians are actually white. The reason why they are so dark is simply because the weather in India is too hot and the sun is too hot.

These two Indians were the same people who represented the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad in India who had come to meet the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. The two of them were the future rulers of the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad. Among the more than 600 princely states in India, the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad are definitely among the largest. Not only is the population large, but also the richest. These two princely states also have a great influence among the major princely states of India. At one point, when the Mughal Empire was still alive, it wanted to destroy these princely states and thus truly rule the entire Indian peninsula. However, in the end, they all failed. It was the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad who resisted the Mughal Empire.

"Is this Huaxia City? Sure enough, it is the capital of a world power! In India, it is estimated that only Kolkata can compare! As soon as he got off the boat, Afza couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, even Delhi is far from being comparable to Huaxia City. The Chinese Empire was the most powerful country in the East. If they win the world war, they will become the hegemon of the world. However, from now on, the probability of victory for the Chinese Empire is very high. After all, they have a population of 500 million and a huge industry, and no country can beat them! Handrao also said.

Although, because of the rapid development of technology, the power of weapons is also increasing. However, even so, the number of troops was still an important factor in winning the war. The Chinese Empire has a population of 500 million, which means that under the condition of maximum mobilization, the Chinese Empire can arm tens of millions of troops. And the powerful industrial strength of the Chinese Empire was able to arm these tens of millions of troops. Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no country on the entire planet that can truly defeat the Chinese Empire.

"Hmmm! The Chinese Empire has won. If our plan succeeds, then India will be able to rely on British colonial rule. Afza said. The purpose of their visit this time was to persuade the Chinese Empire to let the emperor of the Chinese Empire concurrently serve as the emperor of India. The states of India, on the other hand, continue to rule according to tradition. In this way, the interests of the states will be safeguarded. With the emperor of the Chinese Empire, other countries did not dare to bully India. India's security is assured.

"The emperor of the Chinese Empire will definitely not refuse!" Handrao said. He believed that this was also a temptation that the emperor of the Chinese Empire could never refuse.

After disembarking from the ship, Handrao and Afza, led by the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had been waiting at the dock, took a horse-drawn carriage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. Although they are the heirs of India's largest princely state, they have little influence internationally. There will be nothing wrong with taking them directly to the Imperial Foreign Office.

Along the way, both Handrao and Afza marveled at the prosperity of Huaxia City, with its straight and flat connections, wide concrete roads, high-rise buildings and crowded shops, which are absolutely not seen in India. This also made them very envious of the Chinese Empire, and even more believed that if India had the protection of the Chinese Empire, then the Indians would be able to live the life they wanted.

Soon, the two of them, Handrao and Afza, came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. Under the guidance of the staff, he entered the office of Foreign Minister Wei Yuan.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary!" Although the two were the successors of the princely states of India, they were very low-key in front of the powerful ministers of the Chinese Empire.

"Friends from afar, welcome!" Wei Yuan's face was full of smiles. Although the Chinese Empire had just signed a contract with the royal family of the Mughal Empire, this did not mean that the Chinese Empire would not be able to obtain more wealth from the princely states of India. Now that there is a war, the empire spends money like running water every day! If you can get more, you can ease the financial pressure on the empire.

"Your Excellency, this time, we mainly have a request, we hope that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, can become the Emperor of India!" Handrao explained his intentions directly.
