Chapter 1127: The British's Questioning (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Immediately after the successful uprising of the Green Cult Alliance, it attacked the Indus Valley. The people who live in this area are almost all Green Cultists. They fully responded to the uprising of the Green Religion Alliance, and many of them joined the uprising spontaneously. Many of the Green Cultists who joined the Anglo-Indian Army even carried weapons to join the rebel army, which made the army of the Green Cult Alliance begin to expand continuously. In less than half a month, a force of more than 100,000 people has been raised. The entire Indus Valley fell under their control.

In addition, the Green Church Alliance also plans to expand into Bangladesh, where the vast majority of Bengalis are also Green Christians. The Green Church Alliance is also more likely to succeed in launching an uprising there. At the same time, Bangladesh is closer to China and more easily supported by China. If the uprising is successful, it can directly send troops to threaten Calcutta and other coastal cities in India.

The uprisings of several ethnic groups in the south also received strong support from the people of those ethnic groups. As a minority, they were also oppressed by the British colonizers and Hindustani people for a long time in India. Now that there is an opportunity to build a country on their own, of course they will not let it go. As a result, the entire southern part of the Indian peninsula seemed to be out of British control overnight.

Originally, the British Army's suppression of the Indian Red Army led by the Indian Bolshevik Party had already gained a certain upper hand. Although the Red Army of India continued to grow and grew, it had the support of a large number of Indian people. However, the rabble will never be able to compete with the elite army. As a result, although the Indian Red Army had a large number of troops, it was constantly defeated by the British Army on the battlefield, and the area of control was constantly shrinking. If it weren't for the fact that the British Army had too many places to defend and couldn't concentrate all its efforts, perhaps the Indian Red Army would have been wiped out long ago.

However, several other large-scale armed uprisings dealt a heavy blow to the British colonial rule in India. A large number of areas were still out of British control. Their supply lines are constantly under attack. And the Anglo-Indian army was completely unreliable. This forced the British to redeploy forces against other uprisings, thus giving the Indian Bolshevik Party and the Indian Red Army a respite. This makes this war perhaps longer. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the British.

If the British were overwhelmed by the armed uprisings in India, they were at least able to deal with it. After all, the hundreds of thousands of elite troops they deployed in India are not so easy to defeat. Neither the armed uprising of the Bolshevik Party, nor the uprising of the Green League, nor the Tamils, Telugus, and Marathas in the south posed a mortal threat to British rule in India. The camel that suffered the death was bigger than the horse, and it was not impossible to suppress these rebels step by step with the heritage of the British Empire.

In the beginning, these rebel armies seemed to be formidable. However, if the British were determined to suppress them, they would not be able to do so for long. Of course, the British would have to pay a very heavy price for suppressing these uprisings. Hundreds of thousands or even more troops were dispatched to India on an expedition, and the daily consumption of these troops, the supply of weapons and ammunition, and even the pensions of these troops were very staggering. For the British Empire, which had not yet emerged from its economic crisis, these costs were enough to collapse their already weak finances.

However, it was clear that the British Empire would not have given up this important colony of India so easily. They will do everything in their power to suppress the uprising in India. With Britain's financial and industrial strength, mobilizing two million troops is definitely not a problem. Even a million troops would be enough to suppress those uprisings in India. At that time, the British colonial rule here can still be maintained.

It's just that the real killer is coming. On August 12, 4635, the states of Assam and Manipur in northeastern India broke out armed uprisings one after another. The Assamese and Meitei living here took up arms, drove out the British colonists, and declared independence. The Assamese founded the kingdom of Ahom and began to attack from Assam in all directions, intending to expand their territory and restore the glory of the ancient kingdom of Ahom. And the Meitei people of Manipur also proclaimed the establishment of the Meitei Kingdom, with Imphal as the capital.

The Assamese are now two million people. There are only more than a million Meitai people. Their armed uprisings were nothing compared to the previous large-scale armed uprisings. After all, this can only be considered a small-scale armed uprising. Had it not been for the elite army of the British, who had been drawn from this area, it would have been enough to suppress their uprising easily. Even now, their uprising was a fluke of success. But once the British came to their senses and sent a little army at will, they could be suppressed.

If only it were that easy. Immediately after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Ahong and the Kingdom of Meitai, they issued a statement that shocked the whole world. Both the kingdoms of Ahong and Meitai claimed that they were of Chinese descent. Therefore, they begged the Emperor of the Chinese Empire to serve as the kings of the Ahong and Meitai kingdoms, and to allow them to join the vassal system of the Chinese Empire and become vassal states of the Chinese Empire.

If it is said that the kingdom of Ahong and the kingdom of Meitai are nothing more than a delicate disease, insignificant, and the British can suppress it at will. However, if the Chinese Empire is brought out. That's not going to be easy to clean up. The Chinese Empire was already not something that the British Empire could deal with, let alone the current British Empire.

The rest of the world generally believes that this is clearly the kingdom of Ahong and the kingdom of Meitai planned by the Chinese Empire, and wants to take this opportunity to meddle in India. The large-scale uprising that broke out in India was already seen as the imminent loss of India by the British. Now, it is even more used as a sign that Britain is about to lose India. After all, once the Chinese Empire intervenes, the British will definitely not be able to hold India.

Even the British themselves were very alarmed. They are worried that the Chinese Empire is really going to do something to India. In that case, the whole situation is irreparable.

"Oh God! Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? What do the Chinese really want? Are they ready to snatch India out of our hands? British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain roared angrily.

"Your Excellency, the affairs of the Ahong Kingdom and the Meitai Kingdom must have been planned by the Chinese. Otherwise, how could the Assamese and Meitean, who have been under pressure for many years, have the ability to launch an armed uprising and still succeed? The Marquis of Zelant, the Minister of Indian Affairs, said with a dark face. Now that uprisings are breaking out all over India, he, the Minister of Indian Affairs, seems to have come to an end! Although, none of these problems have anything to do with him, a minister who has only just taken office. However, if something goes wrong, someone has to be responsible.

"The kingdom of Ahong and the kingdom of Meitai, what the hell is going on? Could it be that those Assamese and Meitei are really descendants of the Chinese? Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden asked, curious.

"Who knows what's going on. When the British Empire ruled that area, it was originally under Burmese rule. We just defeated Burma and gained control over those areas. However, judging from the information available so far, those people may really be descendants of the Chinese. Said the Marquis Zelant, Minister of Indian Affairs.

"Damn, in this case, didn't it give the Chinese an excuse to meddle in Indian affairs in the name of justice? With the greed of the Chinese, even if it has nothing to do with them, they will be cheeky and reach out. Now that it's about them, they're even more willing. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain scolded.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are involved in India's problems, not only the kingdoms of Ahong and Meitai. According to the information we have, the uprising of the Green Religion Alliance, the uprising of the Tamils, Telugu and Marathas in southern India, also has the shadow of the Chinese. Otherwise, they would never have had the strength to launch an uprising in such a short period of time. Secretary of War Leslie Hall said.

"Damn the Chinese, they clearly want to take India away from us! We must not allow them to succeed. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, let our ambassador to China ask the damned Chinese, what exactly do they want to do? If they intervene in India's affairs, it will be a war with the British Empire. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you need to be so tough? If we tear our faces with the Chinese, it will not do us any good. Anthony Aiden said.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let the diplomats soften a little." However, it is essential to protest to the Chinese. Also, ask the Chinese about the bottom line, what do they need to do to stop. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Anthony Aiden nodded. He knew that this was the character of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

On August 14, 4635 A.D., Sir Christopher Hui Gesen, the British ambassador to the Chinese Empire, urgently met with Tang Shaoyi, the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire, and officially expressed strong dissatisfaction and indignation at the Chinese Empire's meddling in Indian affairs. The British government demanded that the Chinese Empire apologize to Britain and immediately cease its support for the Indian rebels.

Of course, the Chinese Empire denied this. (To be continued.) )
