The maharajas of India, though already tamed by the British colonies. However, this is only superficial. If Britain continues to be strong, then these princes will not dare to oppose it. However, now that the British Empire has been defeated and retreated, the Chinese Empire has long since replaced Britain as the hegemon of the world, or the hegemon of the East. And India is just a piece of fat in the mouth of the Chinese Empire. Under such circumstances, in order not to lose their power and wealth, these Indian princes will naturally have other thoughts.

Especially after the princely states of Vadodara and Hyderabad reached a secret agreement with the Chinese Empire. It was also a secret call for other princely states to start resisting the Indian colonial authorities. Even, they were ready to launch an uprising against the Indian colonial authorities and hasten the demise of the Indian colonial authorities when the war was clear.

In addition, the royal family of the Mughal Empire in Delhi is also actively exerting its influence. They were still dreaming that the Chinese Empire would support them in restoring their rule over India. Naturally, this made the decrees of the Indian colonial authorities greatly blocked in India.

"Your Excellency, should we send an army to suppress those Indian princes, and let them see who is the master of this continent. Their lives are still in our hands! The Marquis of Dalhousie, the Viceroy of India, said viciously. Now, the British are probably the only ones who can bully these indigenous Indians. Let them defeat the Chinese Army, that is simply unrealistic.

"No, Your Excellency the Governor. Now that we are facing a major attack by the Chinese, it is not appropriate to clash with the Indian maharajas. If the situation in India is volatile, it will have a big impact on us. When the time comes. With these Indians to contain our strength, it will be more difficult for us to resist the attack of the Chinese! "Colin. Admiral Campbell shook his head. He opposed sending troops against the indigenous princes of India at this juncture.

"General, you seem to look down on these indigenous Indians. As long as we send fifty thousand troops. Suppress the two princely states, and those guys will know how powerful we are. When the time comes, they will surely be as docile as sheep! The Marquis of Dalhousie said that after a few years as Viceroy of India, he had developed a deep understanding of the mentality of India's indigenous people.

"Your Excellency, this is indeed not the time to settle accounts with these indigenous Indians. The most important thing before us now is to resist the attack of the Chinese, and only in this way can we keep India. The only thing that comes in the future is time to teach the damned indigenous Indians a lesson. "Colin. Admiral Campbell said. The offensive of the Chinese Army was too fierce. As a result, he had to devote all his strength to resisting the Chinese* army, and did not want any disadvantage. Any mismatch may lead to defeat in this war. At that time, the rule of the colonial authorities in India will be over.

"Okay, then we'll just have to let those guys go!" The Marquis of Dalhousie said with some unwillingness. After all, the suppression of India's princely states can not only serve as an example, but also increase the wealth of the colonial authorities and his personal wealth a lot. He had already coveted the riches of these rich princely states of India. Reputedly. The richest princely states have billions of rupees, which is hundreds of millions of pounds when converted! Even. Like the princely states of Hyderabad and Vadodara, the wealth is as high as tens of billions of rupees. This is the wealth that India has accumulated over thousands of years, if it can be scraped back. Then, all the war funds are available.

At this time. A staff officer hurriedly walked in.

"General, telegram from Lieutenant General Ross of the 17th Infantry Corps!" The staff officer handed a telegram to Colin. Admiral Campbell.

Colin. Admiral Campbell took the telegram and looked at it. Suddenly, his face turned pale.

"General, what's wrong, what's going on?" Marquis Dalhousie asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Lieutenant General Ross has surrendered to the Chinese. The entire kingdom of Afghanistan belongs to the Chinese. Next, they will invade western India from the Kingdom of Afghanistan! "Colin. Admiral Campbell said.

"Hell, how can this be? Lieutenant General Ross actually dared to surrender to the Chinese, he is a traitor to the British Empire, I must send him to the gallows! Marquis Dalhousie roared.

Colin. Admiral Campbell was silent, and there was almost no chance that Lieutenant General Ross would be sent to the gallows. On the contrary, Lieutenant General Ross, who walked into the prisoner-of-war camps of the Chinese Empire, may outlive them. Once the Chinese* army captured Calcutta and destroyed the rule of the colonial authorities, the fate of these high-ranking officials and high-ranking generals of the colonial authorities can be imagined.

"General, do we have a way to resist the attack of the Chinese?" Marquis Dalhousie asked. Even if he did not know military affairs, he knew that once India was attacked by the Chinese from both sides, the shape would be even more disadvantageous. At that time, I am afraid that India will be very difficult.

"We are in western India, with only the 13th Infantry Corps of the Anglo-Indian Army deployed in Delhi. Relying on this infantry army alone, if you want to resist the attack of the Chinese, it is simply impossible! "Colin. Admiral Campbell shook his head. Although, the Chinese * army attacking from the Western Front was not much, there was only one army group, less than two hundred thousand troops. However, the Chinese* army was much stronger than the British and British and Indian armies. It would have been impossible for the British to fend off the Chinese* army in western India without a two- or three-fold superiority in numbers. And now, let's Colin. Where did Lieutenant General Campbell go to find so many troops?

"Then send more reinforcements over? Isn't there 4 corps in our newly formed troops that can be sent to the battlefield? Send them all. In addition, there are several corps near Calcutta, and the rest of the troops can be sent except for the 20th Army of the British Army! The Marquis of Dalhousie said.

"But, Your Excellency the Governor, when these troops have been removed from Calcutta, the lines of Calcutta have been emptied. If the Chinese storm Calcutta, what should we do? "Colin. Admiral Campbell was a little worried.

"I can't care so much, send it out first. After the training of the Anglo-Indian troops of the subsequent 4 armies was completed, the defense of Calcutta would naturally be able to be stabilized! The Marquis of Dalhousie said.

Colin. Admiral Campbell hesitated, but nodded.

Subsequently, Colin. Admiral Campbell, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Indian Army, gave an order to the 13th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army stationed in Delhi, demanding that the 13th Army immediately rush to western India to build a defensive line to resist the attack of the Chinese* army. In addition, the 14th Army of the Anglo-Indian Army was also dispatched to India. The 15th and 16th Armies of the Anglo-Indian Army, which were originally deployed in the Imphal area, also received orders to return to defense. The Chinese* army has already invaded India, and there is no need to deploy another 100,000 troops in the Imphal area.

In addition to this, the 10th, 11th and 12th armies of the Anglo-Indian army, which were deployed near Calcutta, also received orders to believe in the advance. Together with the newly formed Anglo-Indian 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th armies, the army deployed in western India will reach 10 armies and 500,000 men.

However, there was only one British Army 20th Army and the British Indian Army 9th Army left near Calcutta. In addition, the 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th armies of the Anglo-Indian Army were still being trained. By the time they had completed their training, the British and Indian armies near Calcutta would have a total strength of 300,000 men, and they would still have the strength to fight.

However, Colin. Admiral Campbell seems to have forgotten that the area of India is not small, and the transportation in India is very bad, so it is not so easy for these British and Indian troops to be transferred from the east to the west. This, combined with the laziness of the Indians, made long marches a big problem. It is estimated that in less than a month or two, they will not be able to arrive at all. By that time, the Chinese* army that spoke had already invaded the territory of India.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is not enough, we need more troops!" Colin. Admiral Campbell said.

"I know, I'm going to send someone to negotiate with those damn Indian princes, and they'll promise to give us more troops!" Marquis Dalhousie said through gritted teeth. In order to prevent the princes of the Indian princely states from preventing Indians from joining the Anglo-Indian army, the colonial authorities would certainly pay a certain price. However, the Marquis of Dalhousie had no choice either. However, he vowed that when he defeated the invading Chinese* army, he would make the Indian princely states pay an even heavier price.

It's just that the Marquis of Dalhousie may not have imagined that he will never have this opportunity again. Because, the war in India will soon be over. When the time comes, the entire colonial authorities will be destroyed, and they themselves will become prisoners, not to mention the trouble of those Indian princely states. Moreover, after the submission of the Chinese Empire, those Indian princely states have been protected by the Chinese Empire. Although they are the slaves and lackeys of the Chinese Empire, the so-called dog beating also depends on the master, and not everyone can bully them casually.

A chain reaction caused the British colonial regime to crumble in India. However, the Chinese Empire's attack on India was not limited to the 7th and 12th armies. In Singapore, the capital of the Imperial Straits Province, more than 300,000 men of the Imperial Army's 13th and 14th armies had already gathered here. They will be a sharp knife aimed at the British colonial authorities. (To be continued......)
