For Indians, the word country is not profound. Indians have a much weaker sense of national consciousness compared to other countries. Historically, India has been conquered by foreign nations many times. The local Indians have always been oppressed. For thousands of years, these Indians have become obedient people. Therefore, in their minds, there is no concept of the state at all.

The Mughal Empire was the last empire of India, but Indians did not identify with this empire. Almost all the princely states of India are in a state of independence. Especially after the British invaded India and began their colonial rule of India, the Indians were even more obedient. This leads directly to the fact that Handrao and Afza have betrayed the interests of India without even blinking an eye.

The two men, Handrao and Afza, representing the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad, as well as the part of the princely states they were able to represent, formally signed a treaty with Wei Yuan, the Imperial Foreign Minister. There are more than 600 princely states in India, large and small. However, most of these princely states are in their own hands. According to the Chinese Empire, in the future, only 200 princely states in India need to be retained, which means that most of the princely states will be destroyed. Those princely states that are close to the princely states of Baroda and Hyderabad will become the new rulers of India. This will be very beneficial for them. Of course, the interests of India as a whole. will undoubtedly be damaged. However, neither Handrao nor Afza. None seem to be seen. Or maybe they see it, but they don't care.

According to the signed treaty. The Chinese Empire was to send troops to India to defeat the British Army and the Anglo-Indian Army entrenched in India. And the princely states of India will do their best to support the Chinese Empire. Before the war began, the princely states of India were to pay the Chinese Empire a billion Chinese dollars in war expenses. After the end of the war, another billion Chinese dollars will be paid. After the Chinese Empire defeated the British, who ruled India, the Chinese Emperor would also serve as the Emperor of India. Kolkata was to become the capital of India, and the entire city and the nearby lands within a hundred kilometers would become the direct domain of His Majesty the Emperor. The Chinese Empire was to station troops in India to ensure India's security. so that India will not be invaded by foreign enemies. The princely states of India will pay 800 million Chinese dollars a year to the Chinese Empire. In addition, the merchants of the Chinese Empire were allowed to invest in various mineral deposits in India. The Indian market will only be open to the Chinese Empire, and products from other countries will not be allowed to enter the Indian market.

The spoils of war by the Chinese* army will also go to the Chinese Empire. The princely states of India will have no objection to this.

Arguably. This treaty directly turned India into a colony of the Chinese Empire. The only difference from the real colonies was the internal affairs of India, which were decided by the two hundred princely states themselves. The Chinese Empire except Calcutta. It will not rule India directly, but will only receive 800 million Chinese dollars a year from India's military expenditure.

Also, because the security of India was guaranteed by the Chinese Empire. So. The princely states of India are not allowed to have armies, but only some militias and policemen who suppress the indigenous Indians. Moreover. The number of these militias is also greatly limited, even in the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad, which will have a population of 40 million. The number of militias must not exceed 50,000 either. And these militias and policemen will uniformly buy weapons produced by the Chinese Empire. Their training will also be carried out by officers and police officers sent by the Chinese Empire.

As for diplomacy, India doesn't have it. India's diplomacy will be closed only to the Chinese Empire, and to other countries.

If all of them were to be carried out in accordance with the treaty, India would completely become a colony of the Chinese Empire, and it would become a dumping ground for the Chinese Empire to seize a large amount of military expenditure, production raw materials, and products. The princely states of India don't care about this. All they care about is their own rule. As long as we can suppress those indigenous Indians and continue to oppress them, it will be enough.

These lazy Indians have never had much ambition.

After the signing of the agreement between the Chinese Empire and the princely states of India, one billion Chinese dollars were quickly received. Of course, there is also a problem with this, that is, the empire signed a contract with the Mughal royal family in India before. And now, after the emperor of the Chinese Empire concurrently served as the emperor of India, where did he put the Mughal royal family? This is tantamount to a breach of contract! The Mughal royal family paid the Chinese Empire one billion Chinese dollars for the war, and it is estimated that the Chinese Empire will definitely not compensate for it. The meat that has been eaten in the mouth, when will the Chinese Empire spit it out again?

"Your Majesty, we have signed a contract with the representatives of the princely states of Vadodara and the princely states of Hyderabad. These two princely states, which are among the largest in India, represent the will of some of the princely states. The one billion Chinese dollars they gave for the war have also been received. Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said to Long Yufei with a smile on his face. That's a billion dollars! Add in the billion Chinese dollars obtained from the Mughal royal family, and this is a total of 2 billion Chinese dollars. It can be said that all the military expenses of the empire for the war against India have been scraped together. After that, it's pure profit.

"Hmmm! Good job! From now on, India will become a money bag for the empire, as well as a dumping ground for products! With the big market of India, the future industry of the empire will once again develop rapidly! Long Yufei also said happily. Although, he doesn't attach much importance to the false name of being the emperor of India. However, the 800 million Chinese dollars paid by Indians every year will be real money! This was of great help to the Empire in restoring its strength after the war.

"Your Majesty, what about the contract we signed with the Mughal royal family?" Prime Minister Lin Zihao was a little embarrassed. After all, the empire can't afford to lose its trust!

"What does it matter, the billion Chinese dollars given by the Mughal royal family have already arrived, so let's drag them first. Wait until the great armies of the empire enter India. What's more, when the whole of India is in chaos, the wealth of the Mughal royal family will make people blush. Perhaps the British* army would destroy them for the sake of the wealth of the Mughal royal family. At that time, even the Mughal royal family will no longer exist, so there will naturally be no need to abide by this contract. Long Yufei said nonchalantly.

Prime Minister Lin Zihao nodded, he understood what Long Yufei meant, the Mughal royal family was completely finished this time. Even if the British* army were to destroy them, the Chinese* army would not let them go. Who told the princely states of India to give more benefit? Isn't it just for the sake of interests between countries?

In addition, the huge wealth of the Mughal royal family did make the empire very jealous. After the fall of the Mughal royal family, the empire was able to collect all the wealth of the Mughal royal family.

"Chief of the General Staff, is our army ready? When can an attack be launched against India. Long Yufei asked. Now, what to do with India in the future has been arranged. Just wait for the imperial army to invade India and eliminate those British and Indian armies. Then as soon as Qiē was able to start implementing according to the plan.

"Your Majesty, the empire's troops have all arrived at their designated positions, and they can attack at any time!" Admiral Sun Hao said.

After the start of the war, the Imperial General Staff transferred several army groups to India, and now the units were in their designated positions and could launch an attack on India.

In this operation against India, the Reich will invest the strength of four armies, namely the 7th Army, the 12th Army, the 13th Army and the 14th Army of the Imperial Army. Among them, the 7th Army was to attack south from Central Asia, first destroying the British-controlled kingdom of Afghanistan and then entering India. The 12th Army of the Imperial Army will attack from Burma, and the 12th and 15th armies of the Imperial Army stationed in Burma will cooperate with the 12th Army. After the 7th and 12th armies of the Imperial Army attracted the main forces of the British and Anglo-Indian armies. The 13th and 14th armies of the Imperial Army, with the assistance of the Marines, landed directly around Kolkata and took Kolkata in one fell swoop.

By then, the British rule in India had almost collapsed. Especially the 200,000 British troops, who were the main force of the British in India. As long as they are eliminated, the Anglo-Indian army will have millions of people, but it will not pose much threat to the empire. What's more, the Mughal royal family and the princely states of India are all on the side of the empire, and many of those British and Indian troops will definitely submit to the empire. This war is much easier to fight.

"Now that you're ready, let's get started! After the destruction of India, the main force of the Imperial Army had to go to other battlefields! Long Yufei said.

The Empire will commit four army groups, two infantry corps, and about two brigades of marines to the Indian theater. The total number of troops will reach more than 700,000. After the elimination of the British and Anglo-Indian armies, it was enough for the empire to leave at most one or two army groups in India. The rest of the troops can be transferred to the European theater. In this way, the mobilization of twenty armies in this war is almost enough. Of course, according to the plans of the General Staff, plus the troops that are now being mobilized. The Imperial Army was to be organized into 24 army groups.

"Your Majesty, then the attack will be set for the day after tomorrow! When the time comes, the 7th Army and the 12th Army will attack first. The 13th and 14th armies were put into the battlefield as appropriate.
