In India, Delhi, in the Viceroy of India, Baron Hardin, the Vice-Chancellor of India, was sitting behind his desk, and he almost sank his whole body into his chair, as if it would give him more security!

Baron Harding's appointment as the thirty-seventh Viceroy of India was a great honour for him and his entire family, even if he did not initially become Viceroy of India voluntarily. "However, to be able to be the agent of the British king, to govern India for the British king, is still an incomparable honor for the British aristocracy. But now, as China began its invasion of India, and he would become the last Indian governor, it would no longer be an honor for him, but a deep shame!

For the ongoing Punjab war, Baron Hardin himself also has high hopes. It's just that now the development of the war seems to have deviated from his expectations. The Chinese were very strong at the beginning of this battle, and the British and Indian troops paid a heavy price one after another. Moreover, those lowly Indian Asan began to surrender to the Chinese on a large scale, which undoubtedly aggravated the defeat of the Anglo-Indian army! Once the Anglo-Indian army was defeated and lost this battle, then. British colonial rule in India was in jeopardy! One can even assert it. It was only a matter of time before Britain was driven out of India!

"Bang bang!" Suddenly. There was a knock on the door. Then a secretary in formal attire walked in and reported to Baron Harding: "Your Excellency, the convoy is ready, and we can leave for the south at any time!" ”

"Okay, I see, you go down first! I'll let you know when it's time to leave! Baron Harding waved his hand and said in a very decadent manner. Since anticipating the possibility of losing the Battle of Punjab. He ordered the officials and guards of the Governor's Palace to begin packing up and preparing to evacuate Delhi! Delhi is also located on the eastern edge of the Punjab plain, and as long as the Chinese defeat the Anglo-Indian army and win this battle, their iron hooves will soon be under the city of Delhi. Now that most of India's forces had been drawn to the Punjab Plain, Admiral Kitchener would not have enough troops to defend Delhi if Admiral Kitchener had lost. Under such circumstances, Baron Harding had no choice but to evacuate Delhi with the Indian Viceroyalty and flee to the south. Although even if he fled to the south, it was only a matter of survival. But that's also better than being captured by the Chinese right away. Perhaps, there will be a glimmer of life if you flee to the south. Merely. Even now, Baron Harding has not made up his mind whether to evacuate Delhi. He has not completely given up hope, he still has a trace of luck in his heart, maybe God will bless his people, maybe Admiral Kitchener will be able to turn the tide at the most critical time, defeat the Chinese, and keep India. Even though he knew that this possibility was very small, he still couldn't help but have such an expectation!

After the secretary closed the door and left, Baron Harding fell into deep thought. Although he has only been in India for two years, he has at least collected millions of pounds of wealth for himself in the past two years. This proves that the post of Viceroy of India is indeed one of the many official positions in the British, and if it were not for the threat of China to India, this position would not have been on the head of Baron Harding at all! It's just that, unfortunately, now the whole of India has been blocked by the Chinese navy, and all his wealth is impossible to take away from India! Otherwise, he could at least go back to England and become a rich man. Of course, he could only think of it this way, before India fell, as the viceroy of India, he could not return to Britain without being summoned by His Majesty the British King. And once India falls, then he will not have a chance to get out of here!

An hour later, the secretary pushed them away and came to Baron Harding. Baron Harding was very dissatisfied with the secretary's recklessness, but he didn't even seem to have the energy to scold people now, so he just asked, "What happened?" So flustered! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, Admiral Kitchener has telegraphed that the Anglo-Indian army has been completely defeated in this Punjab battle, and he has ordered the Anglo-Indian army to surrender to the Chinese!" The secretary said anxiously!

"What? Surrendered? Kitchener's guy, how can he do this, surrender to the Chinese without authorization? Who gave him this power? Bastard, I'm going to report that guy to His Majesty, he has betrayed His Majesty and the trust I place in him! Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Baron Harding jumped up from his chair and began to growl!

Admiral Kitchener's surrender completely wiped out the luck in Baron Harding's heart. This means that the Anglo-Indian army has been completely defeated. And Baron Harding, the viceroy of India, came to an end, and British rule in India came to an end!

"Your Excellency the Governor, what shall we do now?" The secretary asked. After Admiral Kitchener surrendered, the squadron was able to quickly advance towards Delhi. Gujranwala is less than 400 kilometers away from Delhi, and with the advance speed of the Chinese army, it will be able to reach Delhi in a few days at most! When the time comes, all of them will definitely be reduced to prisoners. Maybe they will be killed directly by those murderous Chinese!

"Order the convoy, set off in twenty minutes, and head south!" Baron Harding immediately ordered. Now that Admiral Kitchener has surrendered, the Anglo-Indian army has been completely defeated, and northern India cannot continue to stay. Although the conditions in southern India are a little worse, the Chinese will not threaten southern India for a while, and they can still survive for a while!

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" The secretary replied, and immediately left Baron Hardin's office to convey the orders of His Excellency the Governor!

Ten minutes later, Baron Harding, dressed in a black trench coat, appeared in the governor's courtyard and boarded his sumptuous carriage. The carriages of the other high-ranking officials and family members of the Indian Viceroyalty had already been prepared, and the carriages which carried the wealth of the Viceroy and other officials amounted to more than a hundred, and they would be protected by the Governor's Guard and the Gurka infantry of a brigade specially drawn from the Anglo-Indian army by Baron Harding. The Gurcas were born soldiers and loyal to the British, and were the most important force in the hands of Baron Harding. If it weren't for the small number of Gurkas, and even fewer people joining the Anglo-Indian army, Baron Harding might have sent this elite army to the front line of the battlefield long ago!

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and night was about to fall, Baron Harding ordered the convoy to set off, and they would go from Delhi to Hyderabad, where the only Deccan plateau, a full 1,200 kilometers from Delhi, and the Chinese wanted to advance to the Deccan plateau, I am afraid it would take a long time! And perhaps, in the meantime, they have found a way to get out of India. Or, the shape of the world war had changed, the Entente had once again gained the upper hand, and by that time, Baron Harding and they would be safe. Of course, if not a single qiē is not as Baron Harding expected, then they may only have the road of being captured by the Chinese!

Hundreds of wagons departed the Governor's Palace, and thousands of Gurka infantry flanked the convoy to keep it safe. At the same time, the Governor's Palace guards were also on guard against possible threats.

"Your Excellency the Governor-General, Tilak, Gandhi and Ali. Jinnah's fellows have fled, and the men we sent to capture them have found no trace of them. "The secretary rode to Governor Harding's carriage and reported to him.

"Damn, let those lowly indigenous Indians run away!" Baron Harding cursed. Originally, he wanted to take the three leaders of the Indian Congress and the Muslim League with him, so that he would be able to guarantee influence on the Indians. However, these guys actually ran away in advance, and it is clear that they also learned about the situation at the front and knew that the British wrecked ship was leaking everywhere. Under such circumstances, the promise made to them by Baron Harding could no longer be fulfilled, and if he became entangled with the British, he would be looking for death! So, Tilak, Gandhi and Ali. Jinnah and the others immediately went into hiding and decided to part ways with the British!

"Your Excellency, shall we send someone to arrest them?" The secretary asked.

"Forget it, we don't have any extra time to waste! Did the indigenous Indians think the Chinese would let them go? It's just delusional. Then they will know that the Chinese will be more ruthless to them than we are! Baron Harding said hatefully. He knew that these indigenous Indians had always wanted the independence of the country, but the British would not allow India to become an independent country. But if these Indians are counting on the Chinese to fulfill them, it is delusional! The Chinese are more greedy than the British, and it is very clear from what the Chinese are doing in Southeast Asia and elsewhere!

When Baron Harding had already evacuated Delhi and fled to Hyderabad in the south, he did not forget to send a telegram to the British, in which he said that the situation in India had been completely eroded, and that the Anglo-Indian army was completely vulnerable to the Chinese army. And he, too, had to evacuate Delhi and prepare to go to the Deccan Plateau to continue resisting the invasion of the Chinese! Baron Harding also said that he would hold on until the very end!

A week later, the cavalry brigade of the 1st Army of the Chinese Army arrived in Delhi and, without any resistance, captured the city! (To be continued......)
