Chapter 924 Splitting India

"India has hundreds of states, large and small. During the British rule of India, these states formed a loose federal relationship with the United Kingdom. The states joined the Commonwealth and enjoyed autonomy. However, foreign affairs and national defense need to be controlled by the United Kingdom , are almost semi-independent. These states account for almost half of India's territory and one-third of the population. These state owners not only dominate their respective states, but also have great influence After all, those Indians are already accustomed to being ruled by the ruler of the country." Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit introduced to everyone.

Because India has always been a British colony before, and the Germans probably never thought that they would one day be able to incorporate this fertile colony of India into their rule. So, not much is known about India.

"Your Majesty, it seems that those land lords want to switch families." Prime Minister Biluo said.

Qin Tian nodded: "Then, do you think we should accept these land lords?"

"Your Majesty, I think we can accept the refuge of these sovereigns. After all, India is too far away from the empire. It is very difficult and troublesome for the empire to rule India directly. What's more, under the influence of the Congress Party and other parties, There are already many Indians who want to be independent. It is foreseeable that once the empire rules India, it may face endless resistance. In this case, it is very detrimental to the empire's profit from India. Those land lords are all The local bosses in India, let them manage India, and the empire only needs to sit back and reap the benefits. In this way, the empire will undoubtedly obtain the greatest benefits." Foreign Minister Vahit said.

"This is a good way. Your Majesty, in this way, the empire will not have to pay attention to the resistance of those Indians. It is enough to let those local lords suppress those Indian natives who dare to resist. In this way, the empire can get out of it Come out." Marshal von Falkenhain also said.

"Okay, since everyone agrees with this method, let's do it this way. We agree to visit Germany with the Lord of Hyderabad. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact him secretly first, and then we will see the situation. I will see what to do Don't meet him personally." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers all replied.

Mir Osman Ali Khan in Hyderabad was very excited when he got a reply from Germany allowing him to visit. With only a few entourages, he secretly went to Germany with the help of the German army.

The Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy provided great convenience for Mir Osman Ali Khan's visit, and specially arranged for a light cruiser to send him to Germany. This made Mir Osman Ali Khan set foot on German soil half a month later.

The Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit personally greeted Mir Osman Ali Khan in Wilhelmshaven, which made him even more flattered. After all, when the British ruled India, although their dominance was maintained, they didn't actually have much power. At most, they have a very rich net worth, which can make them enjoy the glory and wealth.

However, in terms of political power, they have no status. The British would not look them in the eye either.

"Your Excellency, welcome to the German Empire!" Wahit smiled.

Although, Mir Osman Ali Khan is the lord of Hyderabad, also known as the great monarch. However, Wahit did not call him His Majesty.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I am very grateful to the German Empire for agreeing to my secret visit." Mir Osman Ali Khan said.

After some pleasantries, Wahit invited Mir Osman Ali Khan to board the special train to Berlin. The two of them were in the luxury compartment of the special train, and the conversation also entered the topic.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, congratulations to your country's army on the victory in the Indian battlefield." Mir Osman Ali Khan said. He didn't seem to mind the Germans killing so many Indians on the battlefield. He didn't regard those Indians as his compatriots at all, they were just some untouchables, and when they died, they died, it was no big deal.

"Thank you sir! We don't want to fight either, but unfortunately, the British provoked the relationship between the empire and India, causing many Indians who did not know the truth to fight against the empire. This made a large number of Indians die on the battlefield in this war .The empire deeply regrets this!" Wahit said.

"It's all the fault of the British! It's all caused by them!" Mir Osman Ali Khan said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, it's all caused by the British!" A smile appeared on Wahit's face. Apparently, this Tubang Lord is a smart man. And the German Empire is also the most willing to cooperate with smart people.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the British rule in India was originally unpopular. Now, Germany has replaced Britain and ruled India. We welcome this very much. However, we hope that the German Empire can maintain the status quo in India." Mir? Osman Ali Khan said.

Obviously, Mir Osman Ali Khan did not represent himself, but a group of people. Without thinking about it, he knew that he represented the interests of many land lords.

"Your Excellency, now I can tell you very clearly. The German Empire has no intention of changing the status quo in India. The interests of the various states will be guaranteed. Of course, if they want independence, the Empire will never agree!" Wa Hitter said.

Mir Osman Ali Khan's face was immediately filled with smiles. The affirmative reply from the German made him very satisfied. As long as their own interests are guaranteed, they are very satisfied. As for independence, what good would that do them?

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that all the states in India are firmly opposed to independence." Mir Osman Ali Khan assured, patted his chest.

Mir Osman Ali Khan was already very satisfied with being able to get Germany's promise to ensure the interests of his own country. As for independence, that is just a trick played by those pariahs and poor ghosts. If it really becomes independent, then who will guarantee the interests of these native states? It is better to keep the status quo, so that they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Mir Osman Ali Khan's performance also made Wahit very satisfied. It is undoubtedly the best thing for these land lords to be content with the status quo. In this case, it will be impossible for those Indians who want to be independent. Even, in order to further ensure the empire's rule in India, India can be divided. A divided India will be even more unable to resist German rule.
