The advance of the German army in India went very smoothly. After the main force of the British Army in India and the British and Indian Army were wiped out, even though the British and Indian Army still had a huge force. In particular, the second round of mobilization by the British and Indian colonial authorities once again mobilized millions of British and Indian troops. This made the British and Indian troops suffer heavy losses on the battlefield, but their total strength did not decrease but increased.
It's just that these British and Indian troops who have just been mobilized to join the army have extremely low combat effectiveness, and they can even be described as garbage. After all, they didn't have any military training, and they didn't even have enough weapons, so they had to share a rifle with two of them. Under such circumstances, how much combat effectiveness can these British and Indian troops be expected to have? Once they enter the battlefield, what kind of performance they will have is naturally conceivable.
In addition, the Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance have parted ways with the British and Indian colonial authorities, which has greatly weakened their strength. Under the attack of the two elite German armies, these British and Indian troops often fled. Before even meeting the Germans, just hearing the news that the Germans were coming, the troops collapsed. It can be seen how low their morale has fallen.
In mid-June 1916, the German Eighth Army captured Calcutta. At the same time, the 4th Army also wiped out southern India. It can be said that the whole of India has basically settled down. At the same time, the lords of the various Indian states have been notified that the German Navy will provide warships and transport them to Germany.
These landlords, this time it can be said that they are in high spirits. Originally, he thought that his own interests would be damaged, and he could not even save his life. But I didn't expect that not only did Germany not harm their interests, but instead gave them land that did not belong to them, which directly made them overjoyed. Although Germany's disposal plan for India has not yet been determined, these landowners have already inquired clearly. The more military expenditures donated, the better the land they will get. You must know that most of the territories of these sovereigns are mountains, plateaus or deserts. The rich Indian plains, the Indus River valley and the coastal areas are all under the control of the British. Or the territory of the original Mughal dynasty. It's just that after the demise of the Mughal Dynasty, it became a colony directly ruled by the British. Now, those lands that Germany is going to distribute are those lands. This naturally made these country masters all hope to get the best place.
Although, letting these land lords contribute their wealth makes them very distressed. But if they can get better land, they also think it is very cost-effective. After all, compared to land, gold, silver and treasures can all be discarded.
On July 12th, Qin Tian held a banquet in the palace to entertain these land lords who came from afar. You know, Qin Tian is now the emperor of the most powerful German Empire in the world, and personally entertaining them, the local lords, undoubtedly gave them great face. You know, when the Queen of England ruled India, she never treated them like this. Even when the Queen of England was visiting India, only the lords of the larger states could be received by the Queen of England. The other small and medium-sized states simply do not have such qualifications.
At the banquet, Qin Tian had an enthusiastic conversation with several of the larger land lords, which flattered them even more. These land lords all patted their chests and promised that they would be loyal to the German Empire. Although, Qin Tian would not take these guys' words seriously. However, this undoubtedly means that Germany has been recognized by local forces in India. Next, Germany's disposal plan for India can be officially implemented.
The next day, these sovereigns all went to the Reichstag. Because there are too many land lords coming, if they go to the prime minister's mansion, they will not be able to settle at all. Only the conference room of the Capitol can barely accommodate it.
The prime minister of the empire, Biluo, personally presided over this meeting. At the same time, other military and political ministers of the empire also participated in this meeting. Everyone attaches great importance to this meeting. After all, this means that the German Empire will receive a huge sum of money from India, which will greatly improve Germany in all aspects. In the eyes of these military and political ministers, these Indian sovereigns have become human-shaped gold nuggets. They can't wait to squeeze out all the wealth of these land lords.
"All the lords who came from afar, welcome to the German Empire. I believe that you have already experienced the strength of the German Empire. I hope that you can join the big family of the German Empire!" Bi Luo said the prime minister.
After arriving in India, these landowners have been organized and visited the military ports, barracks and factories of the empire, allowing them to see the power of the German Empire. There is already a concept in their hearts that the German Empire is so strong that it cannot be defeated. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a matter of course for them to surrender like the German Empire.
One by one, the land lords immediately expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to the German Empire, and swore with the gods they believed in that they would never betray the German Empire.
Of course, this is just a cutscene. The German Empire would not believe that these land lords would really not betray. However, as long as the German Empire continues to prosper, the possibility of these sovereigns' betrayal is undoubtedly very small. After all, betraying the mighty German Empire would mean paying a huge price, maybe even your own life would be lost. I guess only a fool would do something like that.
Next, Prime Minister Biluo began to announce to the sovereigns the German Empire's disposal plan for India.
"Everyone, India is far away from the mainland of the German Empire. If the empire wants to rule directly, it will be very troublesome. In addition, all the land lords are capable people and trustworthy people. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire will do it It was the decision to allocate the land of India to the various states. His Majesty the Emperor hopes that India will become stronger under your governance!" Biluo said.
As soon as Bilow finished speaking, the landowners cheered and praised the greatness of the German emperor. After all, the German emperor gave them such a great benefit, and there would be no loss of meat if they praised them.
At the same time, in order to obtain better land in the distribution of those lands, those land lords also made every effort to donate as much military expenditure as possible to ensure that they can get fertile land.
