Located 115 kilometers east of Dhaka, Warmo covers an area of 1,200 square kilometers and has a population of 750,000.

After entering the Val area, the road became more and more rugged, and there were many checkpoints set up by locals along the way, and the convoy of the new First Cavalry Division would definitely not be inspected, but there were still many hostile eyes, and Roque had to remind Geng Biao to raise the alert level, if these Indians dared to attack the convoy, then they should not hesitate to counterattack.

When Roque gave this order, the young patriarch's expression was still a little embarrassed, and along the way, Roque knocked on the side and obtained a lot of information, and now Roque is very sure that even if the riot in Dhaka is not the mastermind of the Val family, it is inseparable from the Val family.

The Varme family was undoubtedly extremely opposed to the colonial rule of the British government, and as early as the Mughal Empire, the Varme family was part of the Babbel family, which established the Mughal Empire in India.

The rule of the Mughal Empire ended in the hands of the East India Company, the first to establish a colonial base in India was the Portuguese, then the Dutch, the French, and the British successively colonized India, and after 1818, after the final collapse of the Maratha power, most Indian princes recognized the suzerainty of the East India Company.

After the Great Indian Revolt in 1857, the British passed the "Improvement of Indian Administration" Act in 1858, which abolished the East India Company and the Secretary of State for India took over all the functions of the East India Company in India. And the establishment of the Indian government headed by the Indian governor, Britain also officially ended the Mughal dynasty that no longer existed, and exiled the **** Shah II to Burma, after which India entered the era of direct management by the British government.

As for the current situation in India, it is clear that the Var family does not agree.

The current patriarch of the Varmo family has worked hard a long time ago, and all six children have been sent to England to study, in the territory of the Varmo family, the patriarch of the Varmo family has taken many measures to alleviate the contradictions between various castes, improve the social status of Shudra and Dalit, and subsidize the poor, these methods have indeed played a certain effect, in recent years, the economy in the territory of the Varmo family has continued to develop, everyone can eat enough, and there has never been a riot in the territory of the Varmo family, That's why Garfield Huntington suspects that Dhaka's riots have something to do with the Val family.

After learning about these situations, Roque was full of curiosity about the patriarch of the Val family, the class shackles in India are actually more serious than those of the Qing State, and it takes courage to break all this, even if Roque is changed to this environment, Roque believes that he will not be able to achieve achievements in southern Africa.

When he arrived at the town of Val, Roque was surprised to find that the entire town of Val was simply full of lights, people welcomed the road, and all the residents of Val were on both sides of the road, and they threw hateful and curious eyes at the convoy of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division after the police drew a cordon, and the patriarch of the Val family personally came to the door to greet him.

The current patriarch of the Valmo family is called Tirunar, who is over seventy years old, which is a rare age in India, and Roque keenly noticed that the patriarch of the Valmo family needs two people to support him to barely stand, so it seems that the patriarch of the Valmo family is indeed unlikely to attend the banquet organized by Lord Bellock.

"Good day, Lord Nyasaland—" Tirunar greeted Roque, clasping his hands in accordance with Hindu etiquette.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Tirunar—" Roque also greeted Tirunar in accordance with traditional Hindu etiquette.

Tirunar was one of the few enlightened people in India, having studied in England half a century ago and received the most advanced education in the world at the time.

Roque doesn't know what Tirunal experienced when he studied in the UK, but obviously his study abroad career in the UK did not leave a good impression on Tirunal, so Tirunar did not have a good impression of the British government, although later, Tirunar also sent all his sons to study in the UK, but this is obviously not because of the yearning for the UK, but similar to the Qing Dynasty's "mastery of the long skills to control the country".

The biggest problem in India is that there is no independent thinking, although it is one of the four ancient civilizations, but India has been ruled by foreign people for a long time in history, and has lost its traditional culture and the ability to think independently, which is the biggest sorrow of India.

Tirunar was clearly unaware of this.

In other words, Tirunar realized this, but he didn't have the ability to change, so the current Valmo family territory has become a handan toddler, not only did he not learn the essence of British culture, but he lost his traditional culture, which is really regrettable.

The Varna family lived in a huge estate, and it can be said that the entire town of Val was built around the manor where the Var family lived.

There are more than 5,000 residents in the entire Valmo town, and almost all of them are servants of the Valmo family and are hired by the Valmo family, which makes Roque also frightened, so after Roque arrived in Valmo Town, the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division quickly took over the defense of Valmo Manor.

That is, when Roque and Tirunar were greetings, Geng Biao commanded the soldiers of Company A of the 2nd Battalion to quickly take over the defense.

Limited to the situation of the Valmo Manor, the armored vehicles could not drive into the manor, so the armored vehicles could only be distributed around the Valmo Manor, and the officers and soldiers of Company A quickly set up a cordon around the Valmo Manor, and the pillboxes and watchtowers around the manor were also taken over.

In the process of taking over, there were still guards from Val Manor who protested, but all of them were strongly suppressed by Company A, Geng Biao didn't care about the emotions of the Val family guards, and this was not the time to show friendship, the new First Cavalry Division, as a British army, should still have the domineering.

Roque ignored the trifles and focused all his attention on Tirunar.

Although Tirunar is already old, Roque and Tirunar said a few words and found that Tirunal's thinking is still quite agile, and there are no so-called Alzheimer's symptoms, and he communicates with Roque in English or standard London accent, which makes Roque very curious.

"I also studied in England, when the Manchester Mechanical School had just been established, I studied chemistry with Mr. John Dalton, and I was the only Oriental in the whole school - although the life of the Manchester Mechanical School left me with many good memories, but I have to say that the British treat us Orientals really unfriendly, so when I knew Lord Nyasaland you are Chinese, I was full of curiosity about you, but unfortunately my physical condition did not allow it, so I couldn't go to Dhaka, It's good that you're here now, otherwise it would have been the regret of my life. Tirunar's words were so polite and courteous that no one could believe that Tirunar was too old to even attend the banquet.

Roque would definitely not question it face to face at this time, and answered very decently: "Mr. Tirunar, knowing you should be my biggest gain in India, and I also regret not being able to meet you as soon as possible, Southern Africa, like India, is part of the British Empire, I believe that we will have a common language, of course, we need to discover it together." ”

From the gate of Val Manor to the main building of Val Manor, there is still some distance from the main building of Val Manor, Tirunar took Roque's hand and walked forward together, Roque naturally supported Tirunar by the way, it seems that the two really hit it off at first sight.

Luo Ke sensitively noticed that as soon as the young patriarch arrived home, he was called away by an older Indian, who was presumably the younger brother of the young patriarch.

The people of the Var family are very recognizable, and their clothes are embroidered with the family crest of the Var family, unless they are members of the Var family, they do not have this qualification, and in the hierarchical India, this is still very well implemented.

The young patriarch's name was Mram, and behind Roque and Tirunar were Tirunar's two sons, one named Seydu and the other Pradamu, both of whom were over forty years old, and they had not said a word except for the initial greeting to Roque, and they seemed to be very difficult to deal with.

The main building of Val Manor is a standard Western-style building, marble, yellow granite, tall round arched floor-to-ceiling windows, sculptures everywhere on the exterior wall, and dozens of steps up to four or five meters high at the door, showing the wealth and social status of the princes of the princes everywhere.

Of course, Roque has also been accustomed to it, and there is no surprise, India's backwardness is indeed backward, but the living standards of India's princes and nobles are not worse than those of the British aristocracy, Roque has been in India during this time, and he does not feel that the British in India are living in hell, on the contrary, because a large number of Indians can drive slavery, the British in India live very comfortably, and there are many white settlers in Calcutta.

Of course, the furnishings in the living room are also beautiful, and Roque noticed that many things in the living room are produced by the Qing Dynasty, such as two vases more than one person high in a corner of the living room, and the tea brought by the servants to Roque.

India actually produces tea, which is still a technology stolen by the British, but the taste of tea produced in India is very ordinary, so the British have to add sugar and milk when drinking tea, and the result is a nondescript British afternoon tea, and it is also regarded as the quintessence of traditional China by the British, which is really indescribable in the eyes of Roque, a pure Chinese.

The tea of Tirunal's family is not bad, it should be produced in the Qing Kingdom, but Roque is not proficient in the tea ceremony, so he and Tirunar do not have much in common on this topic.

Fortunately, Roque's purpose is not tea.
