"Hell, damn the Chinese, are they trying to turn India into a quagmire of war? And then let the British Empire sink into this quagmire of war. Secretary of War Leslie Hall scolded angrily. Now the situation in India is very unfavorable for them, and the hundreds of thousands of British* troops in India are exhausted. And the Chinese Empire continued to send weapons and equipment to those rebel armies in India, didn't that deliberately kill the British?

The other British ministers were also angry. There is no doubt that the Chinese Empire is now blatantly supplying weapons and equipment to the rebel armies in India. This was all about making the British pay more heavy losses in India.

"This is revenge! This is the revenge of the Chinese against us. We rejected their demands, which is why they openly supplied weapons and equipment to the rebels in India. In order to make us compromise. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said.

"Bastard, what are we going to do then? Is it only possible to compromise with them? Leslie Hall asked.

"Lord Chatfield, will the Navy be able to complete the blockade of the Indian coast? Completely cut off the source of weapons and equipment for the rebels. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain asked.

"Your Excellency, the coastline controlled by the rebel forces is too long, and it is difficult for us to achieve a real blockade. In addition, our fleet in India, unable to complete the blockade. Unless the main forces of the Royal Navy are sent to India. However, this is too risky for them. Chatfield said. After all, the main forces of the British Navy last time were also moving eastward. But the result? It was annihilated by the Chinese Navy in one fell swoop. If this time, the main forces of the Royal Navy are deployed to India again, in case the Chinese take risks again and swallow the main forces of the Royal Navy, the consequences will be serious. At that time, Britain will lose its strength.

Neville Chamberlain was silenced, he did not dare to give such an order. This is too risky for the UK. Britain's international standing is declining. The vast overseas colonies had to be maintained by the powerful British navy. If the British navy is damaged again, then the colonial system that Britain has painstakingly built will completely collapse. And this will reduce Britain from a world power to a second-rate country. Therefore, the British government must not be able to take any chances.

"Your Excellency, if the Chinese can guarantee to stop supporting the rebel forces in India, we can consider handing over the kingdoms of Ahong and Meitai to the Chinese. Northeast India is much less valued than the rest of India. Even if you add Myanmar, I am afraid that it will not be comparable to India. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said. Such a result, of course, is a bit bitter for them. However, there is no way around it. Otherwise, they will lose even more.

"Your Excellency, if the Chinese can stop supporting the rebel armies of all parties in India, and then we send more troops to India, we should be able to suppress those rebels." Secretary of State Leslie Hall also said.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain frowned, he was torn and didn't know what to choose.

"Guys, do we have any other solution?" Prime Minister Chamberlain asked.

However, the British ministers shook their heads one after another. Clearly, there is no better way to do it.

"Well, if we compromise and make concessions to the Chinese, will they keep their promises?" Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was worried. Getting benefits but not doing things is too common for Chinese.

"Your Excellency, we can only hope that the Chinese will keep their promises. Of course, we can ask the Chinese for guarantees. As for how credible the Chinese's guarantees will be, it is very difficult to say. Secretary of War Leslie Hall said.

"Let our ambassadors to the Chinese Empire come into contact with the Chinese." We can abandon the kingdoms of Akhon and Meitai, but they must make a guarantee that they will not support the other rebels in India. Otherwise, the British Empire will protect our interests even at the cost of a war. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain gritted his teeth.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden nodded.

"The Army began the second batch of mobilization, and we sent 200,000 people to India again. In any case, do your best to suppress those uprisings. Neville Chamberlain said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Secretary of War Leslie Hall nodded. If they could send another 200,000 men to India, they would still be able to suppress the rebels in one fell swoop.

"Gentlemen, the British Empire is in crisis. We must strive to defend the interests of the British Empire. Neville Chamberlain said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." The British cabinet ministers said one after another. It's just that everyone's expressions are very serious, and I don't know if they really have confidence. After all, the crisis facing Britain this time is just too serious.

Faced with the threat of the Chinese Empire, the British had no choice but to compromise. They hoped that by abandoning the kingdoms of Ahong and Meitai, the Chinese Empire would no longer support the rebels of other Indian powers, so that the British could suppress those uprisings in one fell swoop and secure control of India. For the British, even abandoning northeastern India and Burma was nothing. To be able to keep most of India, that would be enough.

It was precisely because of this that the British ambassador to China, Sir Christopher Hurgéson, was once again ordered to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire to meet with Tang Shaoyi, the foreign secretary of the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, the British Empire is very unhappy with the sale of arms by the Chinese Empire to the rebels in India. On behalf of the British Empire, I would like to formally lodge a protest to the Chinese Empire, hoping that the Chinese Empire will stop this act of undermining the friendly relations between the two countries. Ambassador Xu Gesen looked angry.

"Your Excellency, I don't know what you're talking about. The Chinese Empire did not sell arms to those powers. Of course, Tang Shaoyi flatly denied it. Although this kind of thing can be done in private, it is absolutely impossible to admit it.

"Your Excellency, even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter. The British Empire already knew about this. Xu Gesen said.

Tang Shaoyi smiled and didn't say anything more. Actually, everyone knows very well what is going on. If the British did not agree to abandon the kingdoms of Ahong and Meitai, then the Chinese Empire would inevitably retaliate.

"Your Excellency, the British Empire understands the concern of the Chinese Empire for its overseas nationals. Therefore, our government, after deliberation, has decided to fulfill you. Abandonment of colonization of the kingdoms of Akhon and Meitai. Sir Hur said.

"Your Excellency, it is great that your country can think so. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I thank the British Government. Tang Shaoyi said with a smile. Although, he knew a long time ago, the British would definitely compromise. After all, India is fundamental to the British. It would be a bit too bad to lose all of India for the sake of Northeast India.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the British Empire has shown our sincerity. We hope that the Chinese Empire will still be able to show its sincerity. The Chinese Empire had to ensure that it would no longer supply weapons and equipment to the Indian powers. Otherwise, the British Empire would not hesitate to fight. Sir Hur said. Although, this time the British Empire was compromised and retreated. However, the necessary cruel words still have to be spoken.

"Of course, of course. Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire cherishes its friendship with the British Empire. We can guarantee that the sale of weapons and equipment to the major Indian powers has not happened before and will not happen in the future. Tang Shaoyi reassured. Of course, even he didn't believe that this guarantee would last long.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, this is naturally the best thing to say. This is very beneficial for both of our countries. Sir Hui Gesen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, this is the extent of their territory that the Kingdom of Ahong and the Kingdom of Meitai have defined. If you have no opinion, then we can draw up a statement. Tang Shaoyi said. He pulled out a map of northeastern India and said to Ambassador Gesen.

However, after Ambassador Xu Gesen looked at the contents marked on the map, his whole face changed drastically. Because, the territory of the Akhon Kingdom on the map includes not only Assam, but also the neighboring states of Meghalaya and Nagaland, as well as a large area of land in northern Bengal, which is also assigned to the Ahong Kingdom. The territory of the Kingdom of Meitai not only included Manipur, but also included the states of Tripura and Mizoram, and even those lands in eastern Bengal, including Chittagong, were also allocated to the Kingdom of Meitai. This is tantamount to ceding the whole of northeastern India.

Seeing this map, Ambassador Xu Gesen almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. Obviously, the appetite of the Chinese is much greater than they imagined!

"Your Excellency, what is going on? Didn't the territory of the Kingdom of Akhon include only Assam? The territory of the Kingdom of Meitei is also limited to Manipur. Ambassador Xu Gesen said angrily.

"Your Excellency, the territories we have demarcated between the Kingdom of Ahong and the Kingdom of Meitai are completely based on facts. In fact, in ancient times, the two countries controlled the northeast of India. Now, the two countries are restored. Naturally, we have to guarantee their territorial integrity. Tang Shaoyi said solemnly. (To be continued.) )
