Chapter 902: Crazy Plan (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency, do you want to wipe them out? In that case, there will definitely be a big mess in India. At that time, I am afraid that a great uprising will break out that will sweep across India, as in the middle of the nineteenth century. "William? Lord Nicholson panicked.
Charles? Baron Harding white William? Lord Nicholson glanced at it, no wonder this guy can only mix in the military world, if such an IQ were mixed in the political world, maybe he would have been eaten up a long time ago.
"Your Excellency, how could I possibly do something to them at this time? Although, I've always wanted to get rid of them. But, I know, now is not the right time. "Charles? Baron Harding said.
Hear Charles? Baron Harding said so, William? Lord Nicholson breathed a sigh of relief. If he really faced internal and external troubles, his army would only be exhausted. There is even a possibility that the rule of the British and Indian colonial authorities in India will be overthrown.
"Didn't they always want freedom, they wanted autonomy, they even wanted independence? So, this time we'll do what they want! "Charles? Baron Harding said.
"But, Your Excellency the Governor, if we agree to them to stand on their own, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Cabinet to explain!" William? Lord Nicholson was a little worried.
"Don't worry, how could I do that. It's just that we have to let the Indians contribute, and of course we have to give them a little thought. In this way, they will die for us! "Charles? Baron Harding said with a sneer.
William? Lord Nicholson, do you understand Charles? Baron Hardin's intentions.
"This time, I will tell the heads of the major Indian parties that when this war with the Germans is over, we will let them achieve self-government. Even in the next ten years, let them gain independence. Well, now that we have conceded, we have given them hope. But if they want to truly gain independence, the first thing they have to do is to resist the German invasion this time. Only by withstanding the invasion of the Germans could everything be possible. Otherwise, our promises will be empty words. I think that in order to be independent, these Indians will definitely try their best to cooperate with us. When the time comes, we will easily have enough troops. Your Excellency, soon you will be distressed that you have a large army. When the time comes, you will find that it will be a pain to command so many troops. "Charles? Baron Harding said.
"Your Excellency, this plan is very good. Those Indians have been longing for independence for a very long time. Once we give them that hope, they will definitely agree. "William? Lord Nicholson said. He also knows very well the minds of these Indians. In order to be independent, they can do anything.
"Your Excellency, with the weapons and equipment we have now, what size can the Anglo-Indian army be expanded?" Charles? Baron Harding asked. In his opinion, the problem of soldiers can be solved very easily.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the previous government had brought in a large quantity of weapons and equipment, plus weapons and equipment produced in India's arsenals. Without taking into account the lack of heavy weapons, we can expand the size of the Anglo-Indian army from 1.2 million to 3 million. If we can get another batch of equipment, we can even expand the scale further. "William? Lord Nicholson said.
"Three million? Including the British troops stationed in India, there were only 3.2 million people. Such a force is still too few. "Charles? Baron Harding frowned. Apparently, he thought that if India was to be turned into a quagmire of war, more troops would be needed.
"I will send a telegram to the Cabinet and try to get them to send us as many weapons and equipment as possible before the Germans attack India. In addition, the arsenal will also have to work overtime to produce in three shifts from now on. Those lazy Indians, use leather whips against them. In this way, we will be able to produce more weapons and equipment. By all means, the size of the Anglo-Indian army was armed to five million people. If the war doesn't go well, then raise the scale to 10 million. If you don't have enough weapons, it's very simple, it's just two Indians sharing a rifle and the other issuing a grenade. It was entirely possible to wait until his comrades were killed, and then he picked up his rifle and continued the fight. "Charles? Lord Harding said with a dark face.
Obviously, in order to arm more troops, he will do everything he can. From this, it can be seen that he did not care about the lives of Indians at all. Anyway, India has a population of more than 300 million, and millions or even tens of millions of deaths are nothing at all. If the Germans could be defeated by consuming so many Indians, it would undoubtedly be very cost-effective.
William? Lord Nicholson was already dumbfounded, and he didn't seem to think at all, Charles? Baron Harding would be so crazy. However, if they did have so many troops, maybe they would really be able to defeat the Germans.
"Your Excellency the Governor, if we can arm tens of millions of troops, we may be able to resist the German invasion. After all, the Germans could not have sent too many troops to India. Hundreds of thousands of people at most. We have a superiority in troops more than 10 times or even more than 20 times, and it is entirely possible to defeat them. When the time comes, we will be able to keep India! "William? Lord Nicholson said excitedly.
Charles? Baron Harding also laughed, pleased that he had been able to think of such a plan. It was undoubtedly very cost-effective to pay for the rise of the British Empire with the lives of lowly Indians. The lives of the British are precious, and if they die too much, it is difficult to account for them at home. But if it's the Indians who die, then there's nothing to worry about.
Besides, if all those nasty guys died in this war, it would be very helpful for the British to continue their colonial rule over India.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I have to plan how I will be able to manage these millions, if not tens of millions, of troops. It is necessary to make reasonable arrangements in order to bring into play their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, even if they go to war, those rabble will not be of much use. "William? Lord Nicholson said.
Charles? Baron Harding nodded, in terms of military affairs, he was a layman after all, and he could only be handed over to William? Lord Nicholson is in charge.
