"Mr. Norman, are you saying that there will still be problems within the Indians?" After hearing what Norman said, the intelligence officer asked with a little surprise.

"Hehe, there will be problems in the powerful British Empire itself, not to mention India, which is already a plate of scattered sand." Because he was in a good mood after completing the mission, Norman McCallan smiled and explained to his men: "What do you think I took the initiative to find Prabhatti?

Only when Gandhi's men took the lead in provoking the armed faction could the various forces in India hidden in the shadows be unable to help but show their feet.

Rajputs, Indians and Sikhs, and those messy and messy caste systems, oh, you're going to be busy then. ”

Speaking of this, Norman McLaren couldn't help but smile and said with a little smugness: "Just imagine, when all parts of India began to arm their own armies, how would the British clean up this rotten mess?"

When Gandhi, supported by the Indians, was no longer able to stop an armed rebellion across India, perhaps the jewel in the crown of the British Empire would be shattered. ”

"You're saying that Gandhi was propped up by the British? Wasn't it Gandhi's movement that influenced the rule of the British? The subordinates were a little puzzled, Gandhi seemed to be hostile to the British, why did Norman say that the British supported Gandhi?

"How could it not?" Norman McLaren said mysteriously: "Don't you think that only a man like Gandhi, who advocated absolute non-violence, could save British rule in India while rebelling all over India to the greatest extent?"

Without Gandhi, no one would have been able to suppress armed rebellions across India.

Even if the British were able to suppress these rebellions, they would have to devote a great deal of attention to the affairs of India. For us, the time that Britain spent in India was a great opportunity for us to settle the war in South America and to seek more opportunities against the British. ”

When it comes to national interests and politics, the relationship between people and factions becomes very complex.

Although Gandhi's aim appeared to be a rebellion against British colonial rule, his methods were undoubtedly more radical than those of other anti-British forces in India.

If they had to choose a leader on the Indian side to lead the Indian rebellion, the British would naturally choose an extreme moderate like Gandhi rather than a rebel who advocated force.

Although Gandhi would likewise pose a threat to British colonial rule in India, and even possibly directly destroy British colonial rule in terms of public opinion.

But at least, as long as the British Empire is strong for a day, there is no need to worry about the independence of India. If the forces advocating force were allowed to lead the revolution in India, I am afraid that the British Empire would be forced to make India independent and lose its crown jewel in addition to investing in the rebellion in India.

Under the expectation of Norman McKellen, the French government also quickly moved. The first was the loan promised to Prabhati, and the French offered a full 500 million francs.

Although 500 million francs may seem like a lot, if you know the exchange rate of world currencies at this time, you understand that this is just a fairly normal low-interest loan to the outside world.

Current currency exchange rate: £1 = $2 = $14.57 = Rs 327 = 209 francs = 178469 marks (only in some areas, most areas cannot be estimated)

Although 500 million francs seems like a lot, it is only 2.392 million pounds, or about 4.784 million Australian dollars.

This is also the result of the French trying their best to control the exchange rate of the franc, and barely allowing the value of the franc to recover somewhat.

At the lowest ebb of the value of the franc, 1 pound could be exchanged for more than 300 francs, and the franc currency system had collapsed by then.

It is for these reasons that after the demise of the United States, the only common currencies in the world were the British pound and the Australian dollar.

Other currencies, including the franc and the new US dollar, can only be circulated in some regions.

After all, the value of other currencies is not as stable compared to the British pound and the Australian dollar. If you use currencies other than the British pound and the Australian dollar for international trade, it is easy to cause unnecessary losses, which is something that companies that do international trade do not want to see.

Although the loan is less than 5 million Australian dollars, it is still possible to buy a batch of French-made weapons and equipment.

In this regard, the French also adhered to the practice of foreign lending by the European powers, that is, requiring the borrowing countries to use the loans for themselves.

Prabati could use the loan to buy the weapons and equipment he needed from France, as well as food, medical and other supplies, but he couldn't keep the money for other purposes.

As a result of this, the French appeared to have borrowed a debt, but in fact kept the money in the country.

Flipping on Prabhatti's side not only increased France's income, but also made the Indians owe themselves a debt, which can be described as a win-win - he won twice.

Immediately after receiving the loan, Norman McLaren began to enthusiastically introduce Prabhati to the weapons and equipment produced in France.

Having said that, the French actually have a lot of achievements in terms of weapons and equipment. The French are also famous for their artillery, and the production of various types of weapons is among the best in the world.

At the instigation of Norman McLaren, Prabhati purchased a large number of weapons and equipment, including a large number of rifles, ammunition, and some small-caliber machine guns with a relatively fast rate of fire.

With these weapons, Prabhati was able to quickly assemble a formidable army and become the most powerful presence in the resistance to the British.

He was even able to use his army to compete with the famous Gandhi in the Indian National Congress Party.

While Norman McLaren was basking in the joy of successfully provoking the Indian War of Independence, his men brought him bad news, that is, something was wrong with the Lone Star Republic.

To be precise, it's not just the Lone Star Republic that has problems, but also Mexico, which has always coveted the Lone Star Republic.

Although Mexico is not a powerful country, it is not so easy to deal with because of its unique geographical location and connection to Texas.

Mexico has a population of just over 16 million, less than half of the total population of France. Whether in terms of military strength or economic industry, Mexico can never be an opponent of the French.

The problem is that the Lone Star Republic is more exclusive to French rule than Mexico.

Many parts of the United States, including the Lone Star Republic, actually have large Mexican populations.

Had it not been for the U.S. deportation of some illegal immigrants from Mexico after World War I, I'm afraid the Mexican-American population would have been much larger throughout the U.S. by this time.

You know, Mexicans have a characteristic, that is, they can give birth and love children. While fertility rates among other ethnic groups are generally low throughout the United States, Mexicans still have the highest fertility rates among all ethnic groups in the United States.

It is precisely because of this high fertility rate that not only the population of Mexico has risen, but also the Mexican population of the United States.

In addition to solving the problem of Mexico, the problem of the Lone Star Republic must also find a way to solve the Mexican population of the Lone Star Republic.

After all, these Mexican-descendant populations are only as long as they are in the Lone Star Republic, and they are able to have a profound influence on the entire Republic, thus interfering in the political and diplomatic choices of the Lone Star Republic.

This is the same as the vast number of British immigrants in Australasia. Although everyone was very obedient to Arthur's rule, most people still had a favorable opinion of the British.

Although they remained Arthur's loyal subjects, this did not prevent them from favouring the British in some of their choices.

This is actually Arthur's headache. It is precisely because of the existence of these British people that it is basically impossible for Australasia to take the initiative to oppose Britain, and it is even more impossible to challenge Britain to the world hegemon.

This is why Arthur developed a strategy of working with the British and then finding opportunities to inherit the British legacy.

Rather than picking Britain head-on, a moderate succession of British's power and position was a better choice for Arthur.

After all, in terms of the ethnic composition and political structure of the two countries, the United Kingdom and Australasia are highly similar.

If done well, Australasia does have a chance to inherit the British supremacy in the world, and in a more peaceful way.

But all this was premised on the premise that the British had been excessively weakened by the war and were willing to inherit everything they had to Australasia.

It is for this reason that Arthur is actually capable of preventing the re-emergence of countries including Germany and Italy, but Arthur is not.

Only by getting these countries back on their feet to challenge the hegemony of the British Empire would Britain be weakened in the ensuing war, and Arthur would have the opportunity to inherit benefits from the British.

If the British did not have a challenger, it would not be a good thing for Arthur. After all, Australasia was strong enough, strong enough to threaten the position of the British.

"What the hell is going on?" Norman McLaren's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at his men in surprise.

"There is news from the domestic side that Mexico has been frequently moving on the border with the Lone Star Republic, and it is suspected that there is a possibility of invading the Lone Star Republic." The subordinate smiled bitterly and hurriedly reported the news he had just received to Norman McLaren.

"Damn, how dare those Mexicans?" Norman McLaren couldn't believe the news and asked in disbelief.

Although it may seem that Mexico is only targeting the Lone Star Republic, behind the Lone Star Republic is the powerful France.

"Aren't those damned Mexicans, aren't they afraid to provoke a war with France?" Norman McLaren was a little puzzled and asked his men.

"According to speculation from domestic sources, there is a high probability that there are British people behind Mexico.

It seems that the British also made moves during this time, and the country asked you to start an operation in India as soon as possible, so that Britain would give up its support for Mexico. The subordinate continued.

Although it is not yet certain whether Mexico is behind the ghost of the British, there is a high probability that such a thing is behind the British, judging from the past actions of the British.

What's more, aren't they also doing things in the India of the British? This kind of thing has become accustomed to the countries of Europe, and the competition is nothing more than who can destroy the enemy's interior in one step faster.

"I see." Norman McLaren nodded, calmed his mind, and instructed his men: "Tell Prabhati that if he can start acting within half a month, I can make the decision to change his loan from low interest to no interest."

At the same time, the McLaren family is willing to reach further cooperation with him, including more weapons and equipment, and willingness to support him to become the prime minister of the new Indian Empire. ”

At present, the Indian Empire has only the position of governor, and there is no permanent prime minister of a monarchy.

The Viceroy of India, on the other hand, represents the King of England and can exercise the power of the King of England in India.

In other words, no matter how hard the Indians tried, they would at best become the middle class of the Indian Empire, that is, the officials of those small places.

The supreme government of the Indian Empire, including the viceroy of India, who symbolized the supreme power, was mostly made up of British.

Including the commissioners who were responsible for liaising with the various states of India, as well as the commanders and commanders of the army system, etc., all of which were gilded positions by the children of British nobles and politicians.

Most of these positions have nothing to do with the Indians, and it is difficult for the Indians to even meet the British who sit in these high positions, let alone climb to these high positions.

"Yes!" The subordinate nodded, and hurriedly retreated to deliver the order.

Because of the threat from Britain and Mexico, the French spent a lot of money urging Prabhati to speed up his actions.

Prabhati is more than happy about it. After all, it was only a matter of time before he could act sooner or later, but it would be good news if he could get more aid from France for this, including forgiveness of interest on his own loans.

However, in line with the mentality that it is a bastard to take advantage of it, Prabhati still asked for more weapons and equipment, including food and medical supplies.

Although India is an important food importer for the UK, this does not mean that the average Indian has enough surplus food at home.

In fact, in this era, most of the people who were able to eat well were from the upper castes of India. As for the lowly castes, they had to be exploited by the high castes at home in addition to being exploited by the British.

Prabhatti asked for more food in the hope of using food to attract more Indians to join his army.

After all, all the funds in his hands were used to buy weapons, equipment and supplies, and there was not much money to pay his salary.

If you want to attract more Indians to participate in your actions, in addition to money, only food related to daily life can make Indians move, and even turn their backs on Gandhi's ideas and join their own forces.
