Chapter 905: Crazy plan (ask for a monthly ticket)

"Your Excellency, do you want to wipe out those people? In that case, there will definitely be a big mess in India. At that time, I'm afraid there will be a big uprising that will sweep across India just like the mid-nineteenth century." William Nick Lord Wilson panicked.

   Baron Charles Harding gave Lord William Nicholson a blank look. No wonder this guy can only be mixed in the military. If such an IQ mixed in the political world, he might have been eaten up by others.

   "Your Excellency, how could I attack them at this time? Although, I have always wanted to eradicate them. However, I know that now is not the right time." Baron Charles Harding said.

   Hearing what Baron Charles Harding said, Lord William Nicholson breathed a sigh of relief. If he really faces internal and external troubles, his army can only be exhausted. Even the rule of the British and Indian colonial authorities in India may be overthrown.

   "Didn't they always want freedom, self-government, and even independence? Well, this time, let's do what they want!" said Baron Charles Harding.

   "However, Your Excellency Governor, if we agree to their independence, the cabinet may not be able to explain it!" Lord William Nicholson was a little worried.

"Don't worry, how could I do that. It's just that if we want the Indians to contribute, of course we have to give them a little thought. If this is the case, they will wholeheartedly work for us!" Baron Charles Harding sneered said.

   Lord William Nicholson, some understand the intention of Baron Charles Harding.

"This time, I will tell the leaders of the major parties in India that after the war with the Germans is over, we will allow them to achieve self-government. Even after the next ten years, we will allow them to gain independence. Then , now that we have made concessions, we have given them hope. But if they want to truly gain independence, the first thing they need to do is to resist the German invasion this time. Only by resisting the German invasion , then everything is possible. Otherwise, our promise will become empty words. I think, in order to be independent, these Indians will definitely cooperate with us. At that time, we will easily obtain enough soldiers Your Excellency, soon you will be troubled by your own huge army. At that time, you will find that commanding so many troops will be a trouble." Baron Charles Harding said.

   "Your Excellency, this strategy is really great. Those Indians have longed for independence for a very long time. Once we give them this hope, they will definitely agree." Lord William Nicholson said. He also knows the thoughts of these Indians very well. In order to be independent, they can do anything.

   "Your Excellency, with the weapons and equipment we have now, to what scale can the British and Indian Army be expanded?" asked Baron Charles Harding. In his opinion, the problem of soldiers can be solved very easily.

"Your Excellency, the government shipped a large amount of weapons and equipment before, plus weapons and equipment produced by Indian arsenals. If we don't consider the lack of heavy weapons, we can expand the size of the British and Indian troops from 1.2 million to Three million people. If we can get another batch of equipment, we can even further expand the scale." Lord William Nicholson said.

   "Three million people? Including the British troops stationed in India, there are only 3.2 million people. Such a force is still too small." Baron Charles Harding frowned. Apparently he thinks more troops are needed if India is to be turned into a war quagmire.

"I will send a telegram to the cabinet, trying to get them to send us more weapons and equipment as much as possible before the Germans attack India. In addition, the arsenal will also work overtime for production. From now on, carry out Three shifts. Those lazy Indians, use the whip to deal with them. In this way, we can produce more weapons and equipment. Do everything possible to arm the British and Indian troops to five million people. If the war If it doesn't go well, then increase the scale to 10 million people. If there are not enough weapons and equipment, it's very simple. The big deal is that two Indians share a rifle and the other one fires a grenade. You can wait until his After his comrades were killed, he picked up his rifle and continued to fight," said Lord Charles Harding with a dark face.

   Obviously, in order to arm more troops, he will do everything possible. It can be seen from this that he doesn't care about the lives of Indians at all. Anyway, India has a population of more than 300 million, and it is nothing at all if a few million or even tens of millions die. If the Germans can be defeated by consuming so many Indians, it will undoubtedly be very cost-effective.

   Lord William Nicholson was stunned. He seemed completely unaware that Baron Charles Harding would be so crazy. However, if they really have so many troops, maybe they can really defeat the Germans.

"Your Excellency, if we can arm tens of millions of troops, maybe we can really resist the German invasion. After all, it is impossible for the Germans to send too many troops to India. At most hundreds of thousands of people. We have It is entirely possible to defeat them with a strength advantage of more than ten times or even more than twenty times. By then, we will be able to keep India!" Lord William Nicholson said excitedly.

   Charles? Baron Harding also laughed, he was satisfied that he could think of such a plan. It is undoubtedly very cost-effective to use the lives of humble Indians to pay for the rise of the British Empire. The lives of British people are precious. If too many people die, it will not be easy to explain to the country. However, if the dead are Indians, there is no concern.

   Besides, if all those annoying guys die in this war, it will be very helpful for Britain to continue its colonial rule of India.

"Your Excellency, Governor, I have to plan carefully. How can I manage these millions or even tens of millions of troops. Reasonable arrangements must be made to bring out their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, even the upper Without the battlefield, those mobs won't be of much use." Lord William Nicholson said.

   Baron Charles Harding nodded. After all, he is a layman in military affairs and can only be handed over to Lord William Nicholson.
