Chapter 879: Armed Police

The demise of the Mughal Empire did not cause much repercussions throughout India. In particular, after the conclusion of the Confederation of India, the situation in the whole of India gradually calmed down.

For India, the Mughal Empire was more like Egypt under the rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, not only as a foreign conqueror, but also as a conqueror of foreign civilizations. Although the Manchus were also alien, their ruling methods and mainstream culture were basically Han-style, so the Manchus were still acceptable to the Han people in the Central Plains in many ways.

But the ruling class of the Mughal dynasty consisted mainly of foreign Muslim military aristocrats and intellectuals, the official language was Persian, but also Turkic, and the way of ruling was Islamic.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, I don't know how many Han minions and widows beat their chests. But the Indians in modern society still have a complicated heart about the historical Mughal Empire.

Therefore, the Far East wiped out the Mughal Empire, and in the eyes of the native emperors of the federal dominions of various parts of India, they did not think it was a big deal, but they were all a little happy. Because they are more concerned with their own interests, they can build an independent kingdom of their own in their sphere of influence.

Although the situation in India has stabilized, the area controlled by the Far East is not small, and a large number of troops are needed to be stationed in various places to maintain local law and order before the arrival of the Ming refugees.

The territory controlled by the Far East is mostly fertile along river basins, as well as commercially developed coastal areas, and relatively densely populated. Such a huge population base also made the Far Eastern Army feel very much pressure.

Although the Foreign Service of the Ministry of Intelligence has drawn up a plan, the Indian Development Corporation is working on it, and it will take a long time to implement the whole plan. The Far Eastern Army has just stabilized the situation in various parts of India, and India needs to be stabilized at present. It is not advisable to make a big move.

Therefore, the current management of the local Indian natives in the Far East-controlled areas must not allow the regular troops of the Far East Army to maintain local law and order, which is not a long-term solution after all, so a paramilitary force is needed to be stationed in various parts of India.

Fortunately, the company had already thought of a plan before the war, that is, tens of thousands of well-behaved activists were selected from among the Japanese foreign workers in various parts of Liaodong and trained at the Tanegashima Death Army Training Base for three months. As an armed police force in India, it is stationed all over India.

Now these armed policemen are arriving by boat from Tanegashima in batches, and in the future, they will mainly serve as local garrisons and security police in India, and their main task will be to carry out garrison duties in important institutions and port areas in various places, and will also carry out security patrols in towns and villages in various places. These Japanese armed police forces are a bit like the Indian and Asan-patrolling police in the Shanghai Tang Concession.

After tens of thousands of Japanese armed police units arrived in India one after another, the Far East Army would implement a concentration camp-like militarized management method for the Indian natives in the areas under its control.

The indigenous Indians in the Indian-controlled areas will be reorganized, and the formation will be based on squadrons, brigades, and detachments, just like the Ming exiles in various parts of Liaodong. A large number of collective farms and artisanal workshops were established throughout India to grow food crops for the Far East and to produce local Indian goods such as textiles and woollen fabrics by hand.

The company will also organize these local indigenous Indians to carry out large-scale construction of infrastructure such as agriculture, transportation, and ports. It is also necessary to use the local resources of India to build enough houses and produce a large number of production and living materials before the arrival of the Ming refugees one after another. After the displaced people of the Ming Dynasty came to India, they immediately carried out literacy eradication and training. Then the placement is carried out gradually.

For a long time in the future, displaced people from the north of the Ming Dynasty. It will be successively resettled in the Ganges River Basin, the Indus River Basin, the Bengal region and the coastal areas of the South Asian subcontinent of India, and gradually "migrate" a large number of local indigenous people from India to other areas.

First of all, skilled craftsmen from all over India will be sent to Liaodong in the future. The handicraft industry in India of this era was extremely developed, and the skills of jewelers, coppersmiths, armourers, carpenters, blacksmiths, woodcarvers and stone carvers were extremely high.

Just compare the architecture of the Taj Mahal and the Chinese contemporaneous period, and we can see how exquisite the craftsmanship of various craftsmen in India was back then. The most striking thing about the Taj Mahal is the main building made of pure white marble, and the upper and lower sides of the imperial tomb are neatly symmetrical. The central dome is 62 meters high, making it breathtaking. It is surrounded by four minarets about 41 meters high, and between the towers stands tombstones inlaid with 35 different types of semi-precious stones.

For India's large number of artisans, the company has been coveting for a long time. The Far Eastern Army has gathered all kinds of craftsmen all over India and is transporting them to Liaodong and other places. All parts of the company are also looking forward to it. An attempt was made to incorporate these artisans from India into their own department.

The company will also gradually develop India's resources, establish a large number of mines, farms, handicraft workshops throughout India, and carry out various infrastructure projects in India.

India's mineral resources are still relatively rich, with proven reserves of coal resources of 84.4 billion tons, accounting for about 8.6% of the world's total, of which bituminous coal and anthracite are mainly used. Although India's high ash content makes its thermal efficiency too low, it is enough to meet the needs of Far Eastern companies in this era.

Most of India's iron ore resources are high-quality iron ore, with large, abundant and potential iron ore reserves of more than 20 billion tons. Among the proven iron ore, the rich ore reserves with a grade of more than 65% are about 1.15 billion tons, of which hematite accounts for 75% of the total iron ore reserves, and more than 50% of the hematite is medium-grade and high-grade iron ore with more than 62% Fe content, and this grade of iron ore is directly used in the blast furnace in the form of lump, sinter or pellet.

India has proven manganese ore reserves of 34 million tonnes, most of which are blast furnace grade. The chromite reserves are 44 million tons, accounting for 12% of the world's total chromite reserves, ranking third in the world and one of the countries with the most abundant chromite resources in the world. India's bauxite reserves are 900 million tons, ranking 6th in the world. Bauxite is widely distributed in India, and there are three large bauxite metallogenic areas in the country, all of which are lateritic-type deposits. In addition, Pakistan and Bangladesh in modern society are also rich in various mineral resources that have been proven.

In addition, the infrastructure in India is extremely backward, and the company will invest a lot of resources to carry out large-scale construction in India, including road transportation, agricultural infrastructure, river terminals, ports, various factories and mines and other construction sites, and of course, it also needs to recruit a large number of workers from India.
