Jagged Germany

Chapter 903: Crazy military expansion

  The faces of Tilak, Gandhi and others are a little ugly.

   According to Baron Charles Harding, if the war goes wrong, there will probably be further military expansion. This also means that countless Indians will die on the battlefield. This made them a little embarrassed. Freedom and independence are naturally what they yearn for. But if millions of Indians are required to pay for it with their lives, then they have to think about it. After all, this is the life of so many compatriots!

   Baron Charles Harding saw everyone's performance, and suddenly exclaimed in his heart that it was not good. These guys shouldn't retreat because of this, right? In that case, his plan would go bankrupt. Now, he pinned all his hopes on these Indian natives. If they don't fall into the trap, isn't it all for nothing?

"Gentlemen, if we can resist the German attack this time, then I can promise you that within three years the authorities will realize Indian self-government and the Indians will govern India. Within ten years, the British Empire will allow India to be independent. "Charles? Baron Harding once again overweighted.

   "Independence? Will the British Empire allow us to be independent?" Tilak exclaimed.

   Others also looked very shocked. If Baron Charles Harding said that they would be allowed to govern themselves, they still believed it. After all, it was the result of their many years of struggle. But if it is independent, it is undoubtedly a bit far away. Nor did they think the British would agree.

"Yes, independence. True independence! I have reported it to the cabinet, and the cabinet has agreed. That is, if we can withstand the German attack this time. India, ten years later, will be It can gain independence and become a normal country. The British Empire guarantees that it will fulfill its promise and will not interfere in India again!" Baron Charles Harding said.

   "Your Excellency, are you sure?" Gandhi's voice trembled. After all, that has always been their dream! Now, it looks like it will come true.

   "Yes, I'm sure!" Baron Charles Harding said with great certainty.

   In order to fool these Indian natives, Baron Charles Harding went all out this time. Of course, what he said will not be fulfilled in the end. Everything is just a blank check. But it was this kind of empty promise that stunned the Indians.

"Everyone, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. As a colony of the British Empire, if you want to gain independence, you need to pay a price. Now, the British Empire has already set the conditions. Whether you agree or not is up to you." !” went on Lord Charles Harding.

  The leaders of several of the largest parties in India are undoubtedly already moved. Although, fully assisting the British and Indian colonial authorities to resist the German attack will cause heavy casualties to the Indians. However, if independence can be gained as a result, it seems to be very cost-effective.

"Everyone, if we are defeated by the Germans. Once the Germans occupy India, then the independence you expect may never be possible. The strength of Germany is stronger than the British Empire. At that time, they The control of India will be very strict." Baron Charles Harding continued.

  The faces of several people suddenly became very ugly. They all believed what Lord Charles Harding said. Germany is much stronger than Britain. Once the Germans occupied India, it would be impossible for them to gain independence again. A powerful Germany will directly suppress their resistance. And they can't do anything about it.

   "For the future of India, I think we must not allow the Germans to occupy India! Otherwise, India will be completely finished! We will never be able to gain independence." Tilak said.

  He was originally a very radical person, and now the opportunity of independence is in front of him, of course he will not let it go.

   Afterwards, Tilak's eyes fell on Gandhi. If Gandhi also agreed, then the opinions of the Congress Party would be unified.

  Gandhi thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, for the future of India, necessary sacrifices are inevitable! I agree to cooperate with the authorities!"

   Baron Charles Harding showed a smile on his face. After so much effort, he finally persuaded the two leaders of the National Congress Party. It can be said that his plan has basically succeeded.

   "Mr. Jinnah, what is the attitude of the Green Party Alliance?" Baron Charles Harding asked.

  Although the strength of the Green Party Alliance is much smaller than that of the Congress Party, it is also an indispensable force at this time.

   Jinnah thought for a while, since the Congress Party agreed, is there any room for the Green Party Alliance to oppose it? If you object, I am afraid that you will be regarded as a traitor to India. At that time, India will no longer have their living space.

   "The Green Party Alliance will try its best to cooperate with the authorities!" Jinnah said.

   "Okay, that's great. Although the Germans are powerful, if we all unite, we can definitely defeat them." Baron Charles Harding said excitedly.

  Tilak, Gandhi and others also had joyful expressions on their faces. In their view, India's independence may really succeed this time. They had no idea that all this was just a trap set up by Baron Charles Harding. They who wanted India's independence too much fell into the trap so easily.

In order to reassure Tilak, Gandhi and others, Baron Charles Harding even signed an agreement on the spot, confirming that after resisting the German invasion, the British and Indian colonial authorities will realize Indian self-government within three years and Indian independence within ten years. *stand.

  The Indian elites, contented, then went all out to help the authorities.

  First of all, members of the National Congress Party and the Green Party Alliance, who are of the right age, a large part of them went to the conscription point and joined the British and Indian Army. This caused the number of British and Indian troops to skyrocket by a large amount.

  Secondly, Tilak, Gandhi and others have given speeches in public many times, declaring that the German Empire has become India’s greatest enemy. If India is defeated by the German Empire in this war, India will lose its future. Only by defeating Germany can India have a chance to gain independence.

   I have to admit that they have a wide range of influence in Indian society. Under their call, a large number of Indian youths enthusiastically signed up to join the army, making the quota of five million troops of the British and Indian Army full in just one week.
