Chapter 927: Blackmail in disguise
?? "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, does your country really agree to give us those territories?" Mir Osman Ali Khan tried hard to control his emotions, but the excitement in his heart was still uncontrollable. He only felt as if he had been hit by a huge pie, which made him faint with excitement.
??Originally, Mir Osman Ali Khan’s secret visit to Germany this time had only one purpose, and that was to hope to ensure the interests of their local lords after Germany occupied the entire India. For this, they are willing to surrender to Germany. Even Mir Osman Ali Khan believed that if they wanted to achieve this goal, they would have to pay a considerable price. After all, they had surrendered to the British before, and Britain and Germany were deadly enemies. Now that Germany has won the war, those who surrendered to the British will inevitably be liquidated by Germany.
??However, what Mir Osman Ali Khan never expected was that the Germans were so easy to talk to. As for their request, he agreed without hesitation, and promised not to harm the interests of their local lords. This made Mir Osman Ali Khan think that all this is true. If it weren't for the fact that the German army had gained an absolute advantage on the Indian battlefield and was about to win the final victory, Mir Osman Ali Khan would definitely think that there must be some kind of conspiracy.
?? Now, what Mir Osman Ali Khan didn't expect was that the Germans' plan for India was to distribute the territories of India to these lords. That is the fertile land in the Ganges River Basin and coastal areas! These lands are much more fertile and rich than most landowners' territories.
??For example, Hyderabad, although it has a large area and a large population, is known as India's largest state. However, almost all of their territory is located on the Deccan Plateau. Compared with the rich Ganges River Basin, there is naturally no comparison. If Hyderabad was located in the Ganges River Basin, then the population under his rule would definitely be more than double what it is now.
??If Germany wants to allocate those territories to them, the land lords, if they can get a piece of fertile land, then this will greatly increase the strength of Hyderabad. Similarly, his wealth can also be greatly increased. This is undoubtedly what Mir Osman Ali Khan desperately desires. After all, when the British colonized India, these were absolutely unimaginable.
"Of course, Your Excellency, what I said is true. All this is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to you land lords. You and your family have ruled India for many years. Yes. In fact, you are the real elite in India. If the British did not control India with strong force, but you ruled India, India would never be what it is now. We believe that it is up to you If you rule India, India will definitely develop very well!" Wahit said.
??Mir Osman Ali Khan felt very comfortable after hearing this. Indeed, Mir Osman Ali Khan is not a fool to become India's largest lord. Similarly, the ancestors of his family are definitely not fools either. It's not that they want to indulge themselves, but the enemy is too strong, they have to. If they don't do that, then it may be their lives that are lost. The British will not touch those land lords who have no fighting spirit, but they will never let those land lords with lofty ideals and revenge continue to exist. It is for this reason that many landowners have been made useless by the British.
"Your Excellency, the Foreign Minister, everything before was persecuted by the British, and we are unwilling to live like that. I promise that from now on, Hyderabad will be loyal to the German Empire, always loyal, and will never betray. I believe that other states will be like Hyderabad!" said Mir Osman Ali Khan.
??Since Germany has given them so many benefits, it is natural to be loyal to Germany. After all, the German Empire is about to occupy the entire territory of India. Unlike the German Empire's allegiance, then wait to be wiped out! What's more, Germany has given them so many benefits. In particular, Germany is still the most powerful country in the world. For them, there is no doubt that there are only advantages and no disadvantages in clinging to Germany's thick thigh.
??This trip to Germany, the results achieved have made Mir Osman Ali Khan completely unbelievable.
"In this case, it couldn't be better. The German Empire hopes that it can get the allegiance of all the land lords in India. The distribution of those territories in India is also directly doubled according to the current territory. Of course, the specific The division still needs further negotiation." Wahit said.
??Mir? Osman? Ali Khan only felt that his breathing became short of breath. Directly double the territory! Such a good thing has never happened. If there is such a territory on the Ganges Plain, then his strength will skyrocket many times.
??Mir? Osman? Ali Khan also heard what Wahit meant, although Germany's plan to deal with India is determined. However, it has not yet been determined where the land will be allocated to these lords. This also means that everything is still variable. The land on the fertile plains and the land in the mountains are obviously two different things. For example, Hyderabad and Kashmir are completely different things. Although the territory is not much different, the population of Hyderabad is several times that of Kashmir.
?? Wahit saw Mir Osman Ali Khan's expression and knew what he was thinking. People are selfish, this is inevitable. And Germany is also trying to use the selfishness or selfish desires of these landowners to seek more and greater benefits for the German Empire. Only in this way can the interests of the German Empire be guaranteed.
"The specific distribution plan will not be determined until the German army has completely occupied India. At that time, the empire will invite all the land lords to come and discuss the future of India. Of course, the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting in India, which costs a lot of money. A large amount of military expenditure. The states should also bear part of the empire. This will be directly linked to the distribution plan!" Wahit said with a smile.
??Mir Osman Ali Khan immediately understood that if he wanted to be allocated to a good place, it would cost money. The more money you spend, the better the place you get. Obviously, the Germans wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune from these wealthy landowners.
