Mumbai, the largest city on the west coast of India. It is also the industrial hub of India. Although the overall level of industry in India is very low, there are some small factories left over from the British colonial rule in Mumbai, where steel can be smelted. After the Chinese Empire ruled India, it did not develop industry in India, but chose to use it as a market and a source of raw materials.

However, if you open a factory directly in India, you can use local raw materials and cheap manpower nearby, and you can also sell the products directly to Indians. In this way, you can reduce costs. However, Emperor Long Yufei rejected such a plan. What he needs is a poor and backward, an industrialized India.

Once the empire opened factories in India, India would gradually industrialize. Although, the process will be slow. However, in the end, the level of industry in India will increase a lot. Add to that the fact that India has only a slightly smaller population than China. Once India had industry, they would become a great enemy of the empire. Long Yufei will never allow such a situation to happen. Therefore, he insisted on not developing industry in India and always made India an agricultural country. In this case, even if the Indians had the intention to rebel against the rule of the Chinese Empire, they would not make any waves.

Over the years, many Chinese companies have proposed to invest and set up factories in India. However, none of them were approved. This caused protests from some businesses. However, in the case of the absolute refusal of the imperial government, they had no choice but to compromise. After all, there is no way for companies to stand up to the government. Especially since this is still the opinion of the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei, then they have to obey it.

As a direct result, there has been little development in India over the years, and Indians are still dependent on agriculture to support themselves. The poor and backward Indians starved under the oppression of various princely states. But. These Indians seem to have gotten used to this kind of life and don't find it bad. If there were no provocations from some people with a heart. The situation in India will be very calm.

In the city of Mumbai, except for the wealthy areas near the sea. The rest of the place is almost a slum. Thatched huts fill the area. Indians here live in poverty more than Indians in other regions. Indians in other parts of the world can also farm for a living. However, the Indians in the city had little to gain except to work. However, India's industry is almost blank, and there are so many workers in need there! So. Many of these Indians are unemployed. In order to live, they exhausted all sorts of methods. Begging, stealing, selling flesh, and so on. As long as they can live, they are willing to give a qiē.

In a small nondescript hut, several people are gathering here. Outside the hut, there were a few Indians guarding it. They were anxiously watching outside, for fear that suddenly a police officer would jump out. In that case, they will die.

The people in the hut were both men and women, except for Indians. There are also foreigners. These Indians were the leaders of the organization that rebelled against the rule of the Chinese Empire. And the foreigner, who is the head of the German intelligence service in India. The reason why they are here is to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Now you have seen the tragic situation in India! The Chinese exploited India on a large scale, and the vast majority of Indians lived in water and fire. They have no clothes, no food, not even clean drinking water. And those princely nobles supported by the Chinese. lived a life of luxury and lasciviousness. In India, these are the two extremes at all. Right now. You can only get up and take up arms and drive the Chinese away. Only in this way can you live a good life and not be enslaved by the Chinese! A middle-aged white man said with a spit flying. He was Mackensen, the head of the German Intelligence Service in India. After receiving the order from Germany, Mackensen immediately sprang into action, gathered the leaders of the Indian resistance, and prepared for the uprising. The Germans poured large sums of money into these resistance groups in order to one day release them and destabilize the whole of India. In this way, it will be possible to contain the power of the Chinese and thus bridge the gap between the two sides.

Originally, the Germans had planned to let these Indians start after the outbreak of war. But now, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and in order to give Germany more time to prepare for the war, they could only detonate the chess piece of India in advance. Only in India will the energy of the Chinese be restrained. Perhaps, it will also have a huge impact on the war potential of the Chinese. Under the influence of one another, the strength of the Germans will increase a lot.

The Indians in the hut were three men and one woman. The woman was particularly eye-catching. Her appearance is also considered a beauty among Indians. It's hard to imagine that she is the leader of these resistance groups. She is the famous Queen of Jhansi. She opposed Chinese colonial rule in India because her princely states were destroyed. As a result, she lost her throne and almost became the plaything of the princes herself. Therefore, the queen of Chhansi was very hostile to the Chinese and those princes who fought for the tiger. She used her savings to develop a resistance force. In northern India, it is very powerful. This made the Queen of Jhansi also a key target for the Germans.

The other three Indian men, one middle-aged and two young. The middle-aged man, like the Queen of Jhansi, was also the head of a princely state, known as Baked. Khan, who had great influence among the princely lords who had lost their territories. Under his organization, many of the princely lords who wanted to regain their territory united and formed a powerful resistance force.

The other two young men, Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. Singh. The two of them represent the enslaved classes of India. They were simply exploited and oppressed by the princes and couldn't stand it, so they rose up against them. These four men became the leaders of various resistance forces in India. It was also a few resistance forces that the Germans focused on.

"Those Chinese, in order to prepare for the next world war, constantly exploited us and wanted us to pay for their war. It's impossible. We must rise up against them at once, and we must not let them succeed. Otherwise, once again they win the world war, India will never have a chance to get rid of their colonial rule! "Buckard. Khan said.

"Yes, Buckard. Khan was right. Our people are being enslaved by the Chinese, and we can't go on like this. The Chinese must be driven away! Queen Jhansi also said. She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and after driving the Chinese away, she would be able to regain the throne. That way, she'll be able to live a good life again. It will not be like now, hiding in Tibet every day, for fear of being caught by the Chinese. She has had enough of these days.

Compared to the radical Buckard. Khan and the Queen of Chamsi, Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. Singh is a little more cautious. Although, they also wanted to overthrow the rule of the Chinese and the princely nobles, so that the Indians would no longer be enslaved. But they know that the enemy is strong. If you start an incident rashly, you will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed by the Chinese. And what the consequences would be are unimaginable.

"Why do you want to start early? The war has not yet begun, the power of the Chinese is very strong, they have deployed an army group in India, a full 180,000 people! 180,000 well-trained and armed to the teeth of the Chinese* army, if we rise up against them, we will surely be killed by them in a river of blood! "Tandia. Toby said.

"That's right, we should wait until after the war starts, and the Chinese have drawn the troops deployed in India, and then start an incident." That way, you're much more likely to succeed! "Kunwal. Singh also said.

Buckard. Both Khan and Queen Jhansi frowned, as if they were considering whether it would be better to wait until after the war had begun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has not yet begun. However, the Chinese are already shrinking their forces in other regions. The main armies of the Chinese were transferred to Europe. The rest of the army is also about to be transferred to Europe. It will not have any impact on you. Besides, India is so big and has such a large population. As long as you start a trouble, you will inevitably get the support of a large number of Indians. When the time comes, your team will snowball. As long as one tenth of Indians rise up to respond to you, the Chinese will have nothing to do with you! Mackensen continued to bewitch.

One tenth of Indians, that's 20 million. Once 20 million Indians make a fuss, it is not a small matter. If the Chinese want to suppress these Indian uprisings, they will probably have to send tens of millions of troops! A large amount of war materials that were originally intended to be used to attack Germany were also used to suppress the Indian uprising. In this case, the Chinese's preparations for war will have to be postponed.

If these Indians were a little better, they would even drag the Chinese into the quagmire of war. In this case, it seems that it will be easier for Germany to defeat the Chinese Empire.

Buckard. Khan, Queen Jhansi, Tandia. Toby and Kunwal. Singh seemed struck by the prospect that Mackenson painted. After thinking about it again, they all agreed to do their best to start the incident.

In June 1862, the Indian Resistance (IRA) rebelled in Mumbai, attacking the local government, seizing the weapons of the police and princely state armies, and occupying the whole of Mumbai. And, it soon spread from Mumbai to the whole of India. (To be continued......)
