"Ladies and gentlemen, the Imperial army fought hard for months in India, and finally defeated the British, and the Anglo-Indian army loyal to them. However, the Imperial Army also paid a great price, with more than 100,000 casualties. The war materials consumed are even more innumerable. The empire had just finished the world war, and the wounds had not yet been repaired. So, the Indian war made the empire almost overwhelmed. The empire has allocated the land of India to the princely states, and hopes that the princely states can help the empire through this difficult time as much as they can! Birlow said.

Of course, there is a lot of moisture in his words. Although the Imperial Army faced dozens of times the enemy in India, it did not fight very hard. Naturally, there are no heavy casualties. The reason why I say that is completely justifiable is to make these landlords pay for it.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are deeply grateful for the heavy losses suffered by the Empire in fighting the evil British for the future of India. To this end, Hyderabad is ready to help the empire! "Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan said first.

The other princes were not stupid, and they all spoke up. They also already know that the distribution of those lands is linked to the military donations made. In other words, in order to obtain better land, you must contribute the wealth that your family has accumulated over countless years. Although, it makes them very distressed. However, no one refused. They all knew that land was undoubtedly the most important thing than that wealth. As long as you have land and people, you can quickly accumulate more wealth.

"Very good, you guys, I'm very satisfied. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will also be very satisfied. We're going to do it tomorrow. Prime Minister Bilow said. In order to extract as much wealth as possible from these princes, the German government has come up with a solution.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something I need to tell you. The cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are not included in the land allocated to the princely states. These three cities will be directly ruled by the Empire! Prime Minister Bilo continued.

Germany's willingness to distribute Indian land to the princes did not mean that Germany would not care about India. These three largest cities were left behind, and they can also be counted as the strongholds of the empire in India. The Empire's garrisons in India will also be mainly stationed in these three cities. This is not only to maintain the stability of India, but also to serve as a deterrent to the princely lords.

The faces of many of the princes couldn't help but change. For Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, they are equally salivating. After all, these three cities are arguably the largest cities in India and the richest in the world. If they can take these cities into their own hands, it will greatly increase their strength. It's just that since Germany has spoken, they have no choice but to comply. In the face of a powerful Germany, they simply had no right to resist.

These three cities will also become German strongholds in India. Geographically, the three cities are located in the northern, western and eastern parts of India, forming a triangle. In the event of a change in India, the German army could start from these three cities to suppress and ensure the stability of German rule in India.

"In addition to this, the Imperial Navy will also build a number of military ports in India. The exact location has not yet been determined. When the Navy is confirmed, it will be notified separately. Prime Minister Bilow said.

After all, the home port of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Imperial Navy is planned to be set up in India for the time being. As for Diego Garcia, the military base of the later US imperialists, Germany has no plans to build it for the time being.

In this regard, the other princes had no objection. They knew that there was no room for bargaining when it came to garrisoning. Even if the German government allocates those lands to the princely states, it does not mean that it is really their territory. As long as Germany wanted to, it could still recover those lands. Therefore, it is impossible for them to disobey the orders of the German government.

"India of the future will be ruled by princely states. However, as India is a colony of the empire, the empire must have a certain amount of income from its activities in India every year. That is to say, the empire has to get a part of the taxes of the princely states. Whereas, it is the power of the princely states to set the proportions of taxation. The Empire will not interfere. So, in order to ensure the interests of the Empire, the Empire needs to stipulate an amount. Prime Minister Bilow continued.

It was not surprising to hear that Germany was going to continue to benefit from India. After all, when the British ruled India before, they also collected a lot of wealth from India every year. Germans and British, albeit somewhat different. But in essence, it's also a raccoon dog. However, these princes don't care. Anyway, the wool comes out of the sheep. The Germans want benefits, they can tax the price directly to those untouchables, and pass everything on to those untouchables. They can even get more out of it. After all, Germany would not interfere in the taxation of the princely states.

"This year the empire will not receive tax revenue from India, but, starting next year, the empire will receive two billion marks a year from India. After that, the amount of taxes was negotiated by the empire with the princely states every five years. The proportion of this tax revenue of the princely states will be determined by the territorial area and population of the princely states, as well as the state of resources. Birlow said.

This kind of distribution is undoubtedly fairer. Therefore, the princes did not have any objection to this.

After that, Mir? Ottoman? Ali Khan and other larger princely lords proposed that the Kaiser be crowned Emperor of India, which was naturally approved by the other princely lords. It can be said that Qin Tian concurrently served as the emperor of India, and there was no accident.

The next day, a meeting was held to donate military spending. The Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the rules of donation to the princes of the princes. and a form for each prince, who filled in the amount of his or her own military donation. During this period, it must be kept secret to avoid being known to other princes. Then, the amount of military spending donated by the princely states was published. The princely states with the largest donations, had the right of first choice in the allocation of land in India. In other words, the princely states that donate the most are selected first, and so on.

In this way, the faces of the princes of the princely states changed greatly. Originally, they thought it was a bid. In that case, of course, they will cost a lot of money. However, that is to be expected. However, this kind of donation makes them have to fight for their power! Otherwise, you may be cheaper than others.
