Chapter 917: The Decisive Battle (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Charles? Baron Harding reassured them that although the current situation of the war was not in favor of the British and Indian troops, they still had a great advantage. And promised that the conditions he promised before would never be discounted. When they had defeated the Germans, they had to make India self-governing and eventually independent.

Tilak and others demanded that the British and Indian colonial authorities ensure the safety of Indian soldiers fighting on the front line as much as possible, and not allow them to sacrifice themselves needlessly.

To this, Charles? Baron Harding naturally agreed. It's just that what he thinks in his heart, Tilak and the others don't know. Actually, Charles? Baron Harding was equally indifferent to the lives and deaths of the indigenous Indians. All he cared about was what it took to win the battle. As long as he can defeat the Germans, even if there are many deaths, he is willing. The premise, of course, is that these dead people are Indians, not British. The lives of the British were undoubtedly much more precious than those of the Indians.

"Your Excellency, the authorities are under a lot of pressure right now! Because we need to rely on the indigenous Indians to gather forces for us, we can't fall out with them yet. When we have defeated the Germans and overcome this crisis, it will be time to settle accounts with them. So, for the time being, you need to be patient! "Charles? Baron Harding said.

William? Lord Nicholson nodded, he knew Charles? Baron Harding's plan, knowing that the focus now was on dealing with the Germans. As for the indigenous Indians, the two sides are still in partnership. If you want to tear up the cooperation and attack the natives of India instead, you have to wait until the Germans are defeated. Now, it's not time to tear your face. Otherwise, it's going to be quite troublesome.

"When we defeat the Germans, we must get rid of these guys completely. Otherwise, our rule in India will not last. "William? Lord Nicholson said.

"yes, those guys can't stay anyway. Of course, if we can't beat the Germans with all our might, then let them fight those guys. Let the Germans spend a little more energy in India, and the British Empire would be relatively safer. "Charles? Baron Harding said.

If before Charles? If Baron Harding was confident in his plan this time, he was not so confident now.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the operational staff officers have submitted a battle plan. If we succeed, we might be able to defeat the Germans! "William? Lord Nicholson said.

"Oh? What is the plan? "Charles? Baron Harding asked.

"The reason why the Germans were able to defeat us on the west coast was that their fleet played a big role. The battleship's main guns were so powerful that they scared the souls of the Indian natives. This is especially true for indigenous Indians who have just joined the army. As soon as the German fleet was bombarded, they immediately collapsed. In this case, the battle will not be fought at all. "William? Lord Nicholson said.

Charles? Baron Harding nodded, the Germans were too strong, and it was indeed a very big problem. It can be said that from the beginning of the last world war, the Germans used their firepower to the extreme.

Whether it is the artillery of the army or the naval guns, they all give the enemy a strong blow, so that they can have the advantage in the war. In many cases, it was the Entente forces that suffered losses in this regard that caused them to lose the battle.

"So, the operational staff officers proposed a decisive battle with the Germans far from the coast. In this way, we did not have to worry about being hit by the fire of the German fleet. In this way, you can gather superior forces, launch a siege on the Germans, encircle and annihilate their troops in one fell swoop, and win the war! "William? Lord Nicholson said.

"That's a good idea." Charles? Baron Harding nodded. If we can effectively restrain the strengths of the German army and give full play to our own strengths, it is entirely possible to win against the Germans.

"Your Excellency the Governor, we plan to strike first at the 8th Army of the Germans. This plan is attacking to the north. Their destination, without a doubt, is in Delhi. And we, just in time, can gather elite forces near Delhi and besiege them. "William? Lord Nicholson continued.

"The 8th Army? That was Kaiser Wilhelm III's starting troops. In the German Army, it is also the most powerful army group. If we can eat this army group, I think the Kaiser will be furious. This was also a great blow to the morale of the Germans. I am in favor of gathering the main forces and launching an attack on the German 8th Army. "Charles? Baron Harding said.

The 8th Army is prestigious, especially because Qin Tian served as the commander of the 8th Army, which makes this group army regard itself as the emperor's Praetorian Guard. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army, that is also beyond doubt. Before the military reform, the 1st Army had more than 300,000 men, and its strength was the most powerful of the many German armies. However, after the military reform, there were only 200,000 people in the various army groups. With the same strength, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army is naturally superior. From this, there is no doubt that the 8th Army was the most powerful army group in the German army.

"Your Excellency the Governor, if we can eat the Germans' 8th Army in one fell swoop, then we have a good chance of winning this battle. Having eaten the 8th Army, the remaining 4th Army of the Germans was nothing to worry about. If we gather the main force, we can still eat them. The premise, of course, was that the Germans would not send more troops to the Indian theater. In that case, it's going to be hard for us to win. "William? Lord Nicholson's Book Capital.

"Well, then in this battle, we will have to put in all the main forces." Charles? Baron Harding said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. I intend to devote all British troops in India to this battle, and the 1st Anglo-Indian Army, the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th armies, will also participate in this battle. This time, we're going to put in up to 1.8 million people. Another 200,000 of them were the elite British Army. We will definitely be able to get rid of the 8th Army of the Germans! "William? Nicholson was confident.

"Then, this battle is the decisive battle of the entire Indian battlefield! God will bless us, defeat the Germans! ”
