"Your Royal Highness, the Chinese* army, in addition to eliminating the Anglo-Indian forces entrenched in India, will provide a guarantee for the safety of the Mughal royal family. In addition, we can train new armies for the Mughal Empire and suppress the princely states everywhere. Of course, the Mughal royal family also needs to pay some insignificant remuneration for this! Prime Minister Lin Zihao's face was full of smiles, as if he was no longer the Prime Minister of the Empire at all, but a shrewd businessman. And the Indian Mughal royal family of Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah was the target of his cruel slaughter.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, thank you for the help of the Chinese Empire. So, how much do we need to be paid? "Mirza. Jahan. The prince asked. If the appetite of the Chinese Empire is not too great, this is also unavoidable. After all, over the years, the British have also been scraping on Indian soil, and even the safety of the Mughal royal family has not been guaranteed.

"Not much! 200 million Chinese dollars. The Mughal royal family only needs to pay 200 million Chinese dollars a year to the empire. When the time comes, the Mughal royal family will not only be able to secure security, but also be able to restore legitimate rule over India. Lin Zihao's face was sincere, as if he was thinking about the Mughal royal family in India. To him, 200 million Chinese dollars seemed to him to be the same as 20 Chinese dollars.

"Two hundred million dollars?" Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah frowned. 200 million Chinese dollars a year, that's already a huge amount of money.

Seems to see Mirza. Jahan. The prince's hesitation, the Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan also persuaded: "His Royal Highness." 200 million Chinese dollars is already a very good deal. According to the information we have received, the British colonial authorities have harvested the wealth in India every year. That's more than £100 million. If you convert it to Chinese dollars, there are 400 million Chinese dollars. We only want half of what the British want. What's more, we will also maintain the rule of the Mughal royal family in India, which is very beneficial for the Mughal royal family! ”

Although, the appetite of the Chinese Empire was somewhat large, however, Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah had to admit that compared to the greedy. I only know that the British who scrape the ground in India, the Chinese only need 200 million Chinese yuan a year, which is already very cost-effective. However, Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah was also a little hesitant, what if the Chinese, like the British, did not leave in India? So what to do? With India's strength, it is almost impossible to drive the Chinese out of India. Don't drive out the British when the time comes, and fall into the rule of the Chinese. That's a loss.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs! The conditions of the Chinese Empire were indeed quite reasonable. But wait until the rule of the Mughal royal family is back on track. What's next? "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah asked.

Lin Zihao and the others all laughed, they understood Mirza. Jahan. What does Prince Shah mean, is this because he is afraid that the Chinese Empire will not leave in India? Of course. If possible, the Chinese Empire would certainly not give up this piece of fat. Don't say anything else. The annual remuneration of 200 million Chinese yuan alone can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Chinese Empire. If it is possible to replace the British. Harvest India's wealth, so why not? Of course, from the current point of view, the Chinese Empire is not yet able to reveal such thoughts. Wait until more wealth is flickered out of the hands of these Indian Ahsan. In addition, in the future, if there is the support of these Indian Asan, the difficulty will be much less.

"Your Royal Highness, the Empire can enter into a contract with the Mughal Empire of India. The Empire's troops were to be stationed in India for five years to help stabilize the Mughal Empire in India. Five years later, if the Mughal Empire had been able to stabilize the situation in India. Well, the empire will withdraw its troops from the Mughal Empire. Of course, if in five years' time, the Mughal Empire still needs the Empire's troops to remain in India, we can renew the contract. Lin Zihao said with a smile.

Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah nodded, it seemed that it was quite a good deal. Two billion Chinese dollars plus one billion Chinese dollars, for a total of three billion Chinese dollars. This would allow the Mughal royal family to regain rule over India. Moreover, it was also able to build a strong army with the support of the Chinese Empire, so as to truly rule India. Although, three billion Chinese dollars is not a small amount. However, if one qiē can be achieved, it is also very cost-effective. Of course, there is also a risk that the Chinese Empire will backtrack. In that case, the Mughal royal family would have nothing to do. However, the Chinese Empire is also the most powerful country in the world, so it shouldn't be so shameless!

"Your Excellency, I need to report to His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor does not object, then we can formally sign the treaty. One billion Chinese dollars can also be paid directly to the Chinese Empire at that time! "Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah said.

"Of course!" Lin Zihao nodded, after all, it is a cooperation worth three billion Chinese dollars, and this is definitely not Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah was able to decide. Of course, Lin Zihao also believes that if the Mughal royal family is unwilling to give up this opportunity, they will definitely not refuse.

Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan led Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah left. His Royal Highness the Prince will need to make contact with the country to determine whether or not to accede to the conditions proposed by the Chinese Empire. Although the Mughal royal family has declined, they also have their own people within the territory of the Chinese Empire. As a result, they were soon able to get in touch with the country via the guò telegraph.

Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Chief of General Staff General Sun Hao reported the results of the negotiations to Long Yufei.

At this time, Long Yufei was holding a report in his hand. This report is a rough estimate of the Mughal royal family's investments in the empire and deposits in major banks. Because of the rush of time, it is clear that this report is not comprehensive. But even so, it has already made Long Yufei very red-eyed.

Over the years, the Mughal royal family has invested in the country's industries, including some light industries and land mines, most of which are deposited in the empire's major banks, and the Military Intelligence Bureau estimates that the total has reached more than 2 billion Chinese dollars. This money, even for the Chinese Empire, is a huge fortune.

"These damn Indian Ah San are really rich! And that's just the Mughal royal family, many of India's large and small princely states are rich and rivaled. What a fortune the whole of India must have! When Long Yufei thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. In this world war, the Chinese Empire needed to spend at least tens of billions of Chinese dollars in military spending. In addition, the empire has to prepare for the next world war, which requires money. If the land can be recovered from India, then it seems that the money can be easily solved.

"Your Majesty, we and Mirza. Jahan. Prince Shah has already negotiated. The Mughal royal family will pay us a billion Chinese dollars upfront as our military expenses for the war in India. In addition, after defeating the British, the Mughal royal family will pay us a billion Chinese dollars. After that, the empire would garrison troops in India to help the Mughal royal family stabilize the situation in India. In that case, the Mughal royal family will pay us 200 million Chinese dollars a year! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said excitedly. This time, he extorted three billion Chinese dollars directly from the Indians, and it can be said that one-third of the empire's military spending in this war has been settled.

Admiral Sun Hao is also full of joy, with enough military spending, then the empire will be able to recruit more troops and produce more weapons and equipment, so that the combat effectiveness of the empire's * army will be raised to a higher level.

"You two, you've worked hard! However, this is a report that has just been sent by the Military Intelligence Agency, so you all have to take a look! Long Yufei handed the report of the Intelligence Bureau to Lin Zihao and General Sun Hao.

The two were a little confused, but they still took it and read it together. However, the more they watched it, the more frightened they became, and in the end, both of them were a little speechless.

"Your Majesty, these Indian Ah San, they have saved so much money in the empire quietly?" Lin Zihao said in surprise. Originally, he was still excited about George's Indian A3 billion Chinese dollars. But now it seems that this money is nothing to Indian Ah San! The Mughal royal family has deposited more than two billion Chinese dollars in the empire alone. So, how much gold and silver treasure do they have in the country? The total value of the wealth held by the Mughal royal family, and what should it be?

"Holy shit, why are those Indian Ah San so rich!" Admiral Sun Hao couldn't help but scold.

Emperor Long Yufei smiled dumbly, he could understand why the Mughal royal family was able to collect so much wealth. The people of the lower castes, who make up the vast majority of India's population, are content to be oppressed by them. This allowed the ruling class such as the Mughal royal family to easily collect all the wealth created by the Indians. Ordinary Indians, poor to death. However, they were able to amass a great deal of wealth. The Mughal Empire ruled India for hundreds of years, and it was no problem to accumulate so much wealth.

Of course, now it seems that the empire only demanded three billion Chinese dollars from the Mughal royal family, which is not much, and even suffered a little.

"Your Majesty, if we don't wait until we defeat the British in India, we will tear up the treaty and not leave in India! The wealth of India will give wings to the take-off of the empire? "Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao directly built yì road. After all, India's wealth, as well as its huge market of 200 million people, were urgently needed by the empire.
