"Two billion dollars?" Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah was almost stunned by this figure, and at the current exchange rate, two billion Chinese dollars is equivalent to five hundred million pounds, five billion rupees. This is already twenty-five times the price offered by the Mughal royal family. Of course, with the accumulation of the royal family of the Mughal Empire, five billion rupees is not impossible to take. However, if the Chinese Empire is paid five billion rupees, the Mughal royal family will also be broken, which will be very detrimental to their subsequent rule of India.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency General, two billion Chinese dollars is too much. The Mughal Empire could do nothing about it! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah said. Although the Mughal Empire needs the support of the Chinese Empire, this does not mean that they are willing to be recklessly blackmailed by the Chinese Empire. Even if it is doing business, it still pays attention to the sky-high price and pays the money, and it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to put forward any conditions, and the Mughal Empire will accept it.

Long Yufei nodded, for the wealth of Indians, Long Yufei was already familiar with it in later generations. Ordinary people in India are poor and don't even have pants. However, they, the ruling class, are very rich. Didn't there often be news in later generations about how much gold and silver treasures were unearthed from that temple in India? I am afraid that a large part of these are buried by the ruling class in India in the midst of the war. The Mughal Empire ruled India for hundreds of years, and two billion Chinese dollars were a lot, but. It's not like they can't get it.

"Since the Mughal Empire is unwilling to pay for the military, then. We can only be sorry! After Long Yufei finished speaking, he got up and left the main hall. He did. Naturally, it was for Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah exerted a little pressure.

Sure enough, when the Emperor Long Yufei left angrily, Mirza. Jahan. Dense beads of sweat appeared on Prince Shah's forehead, and his whole body even trembled with fear.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, what should I do about this?" Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah asked. Without the nod of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese* army would certainly not have invaded India. Well, the Mughal Empire wanted to regain control of British power. That's almost impossible.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty's meaning, you must be very clear. Now that the Empire is strained on all fronts, our expeditionary force has gone to Europe. Soon it will be a European battle. At this juncture, we don't have many troops to devote to the Indian battlefield! Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

"Your Royal Highness, tell you the truth. The original plan of the Imperial General Staff was to blockade India from the sea and leave the Anglo-Indian army in India to fend for themselves. After the empire's army settled the British mainland, the Anglo-Indian army that remained in India. Won't you surrender to the Empire anyway? However, after the blockade of India, we dare not guarantee what the Indian colonial authorities and the Anglo-Indian army will do! The Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, had a smile on the corner of his mouth. But. This smile made Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah had a creepy feeling.

After India was blockaded by the Chinese Empire's navy, the Indian colonial authorities were already expanding their armaments as much as possible while plundering India's wealth. Maybe when. The Anglo-Indian army will attack the Mughal Empire. At that time, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the entire royal family.

"Your Royal Highness. You'd better think about it again! Two billion Chinese dollars, although a bit much. But. It would be worth it to use these two billion Chinese dollars to buy the security of the royal family of the Mughal Empire, and the Mughal Empire's return to rule over India in the future! Foreign Minister Wei Yuan also said.

Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah hesitated, but nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, two billion Chinese dollars is a huge amount of money, and my Mughal royal family can't make up so much money for a while. We can pay a billion Chinese dollars to the Chinese Empire as a deposit. Then, we will pay the rest of the money after the Chinese Empire defeats the British! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah said.

Suddenly, Lin Zihao, Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, Wei Yuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, all widened their eyes and were a little surprised. They had expected the Indians to continue to bargain, and in the end they would compromise and get a price that would be satisfactory to both parties. However, unexpectedly, the emperor Long Yufei's scare, the Indians directly succumbed. And I'm going to pay one billion Chinese dollars first, which is a huge amount of money! With this huge amount of money, the empire's military expenses will undoubtedly be greatly alleviated.

"Your Royal Highness, of course there is no problem with this! However, I don't know how you plan to pay for this billion Chinese dollars? Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zi came back to his senses first, his face full of smiles. He looked at Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah's eyes were as if he was looking at a mountain of gold.

"Your Excellency, over the years, the Mughal royal family has been trying to find ways to transfer our wealth within the country. The Chinese Empire has been growing very fast lately, so we also have some investments in the Chinese Empire. In the major banks of the Chinese Empire, there are also our deposits. One billion Chinese dollars, we can pay directly with these deposits! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah said.

Lin Zihao's throat moved, and he didn't know what to say. These Indian Ah San, they are really local tyrants! Without even blinking an eye, he was able to pay a billion Chinese dollars to the empire. He now regrets it a little, and thinks that two billion Chinese dollars is not too little. If the Chinese Empire bites to death and asks for 5 billion Chinese dollars, these Indian Ah San are estimated to give it!

General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, also had the same expression, he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, why did he ask for two billion Chinese yuan? It would be nice to ask for more!

"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, as long as you pay for the military, our army will soon launch an attack on India. In addition, we must state in advance that the spoils of war obtained by our army in the course of the war against the British will belong to the Chinese Empire. Lin Zihao said, although he regretted it a little, but what he had said before, he couldn't take it back, so he could only put his mind elsewhere.

The British have also been harvesting in India for so many years, especially after the naval blockade of the whole of India by the navy of the Chinese Empire, almost none of the wealth that was harvested was taken away. Once it falls into the hands of the Chinese Empire, it will definitely be a huge amount of money.

"Your Excellency, of course, this is true. The spoils of war obtained by the Chinese* army on the battlefield belonged to the Chinese Empire. The Mughal royal family will not have a problem with this! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah said.

Although the wealth of the British in India has made the Mughal royal family a little jealous, it is not the most important thing for the Mughal royal family. The most fundamental thing is the land of India, as long as the rule of India is restored, then they can continue to collect the wealth of India. When the time comes, not only the two billion Chinese dollars paid to the Chinese Empire will be quickly earned, but they will also be able to earn even more.

"Also, Your Royal Highness. I have a question, even if the empire defeated the British, would the Mughal royal family be able to restore its rule over India? As far as I know, the influence of the Mughal royal family in India has declined considerably, and even the provinces that were originally under the rule of the Mughal Empire have left the Mughal Empire. With the addition of those princely states, it may not be so easy for the Mughal Empire to restore its rule! Prime Minister Lin Zihao continued. Now that he knows how rich these fat sheep from India are, he naturally wants to collect as much wealth as possible from these local tyrants.

Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah nodded, his face a little unpleasant. Lin Zihao is completely right, and now there is not much left of the influence of the Mughal royal family in India. The administrative divisions of India were originally the provinces directly under the central government of India, and the princely states that were subject to the central government. With the invasion of the British and the decline of the Mughal Empire, not only did the princely states change their allegiance, but even the provinces that were originally directly under the central government of India were already half-hearted. In this way, even if the Chinese Empire defeated the British, it would be almost impossible for the Mughal Empire to regain its dominion over those regions.

In addition, when the situation in India is in chaos, the major princely states of India will certainly not be at peace. For example, the princely states of Hyderabad and Vadodara have populations of more than 20 million. If they take the opportunity to raise troops, how can the Mughal royal family resist? After all, over the years, the Mughal royal family has been weakened by Yan zhòng, on the other hand, these princely states have not been weakened much. As a result, the Mughal royal family no longer has the strength to suppress these princely states, and it is very likely that they will be replaced by them.

"Your Excellency, the Mughal royal family needs the support of the Chinese Empire. As long as the Chinese Empire is willing to support us in restoring our rule over India, the Mughal royal family will give the Chinese Empire enough benefits! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah is not a fool, as soon as Lin Zihao said this, he understood what Lin Zihao meant. However, this is indeed very beneficial for the Mughal royal family. Pay a certain price to ensure the rule of the Mughal royal family over India, and when the strength of the Mughal royal family is restored, it is completely possible to find a way to get the Chinese out of India.

A smile appeared on the face of Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao. These Indian Ah San have been sent to the door, and of course the empire will not let go of the opportunity to slaughter them.
