Chapter 931: huge sum of money
?? "Damn the Germans, do they want to take out our last bit of money? They will use such a method!" Mir? Osman? Ali Khan's face was very ugly.
??Although, they knew that the Germans wanted to take this opportunity to extort wealth this time. But they don't want to just give in. Therefore, several larger states have been secretly contacted. When bidding, it is enough to make the Germans look good. In this way, they will be able to achieve their goals with the smallest cost.
??However, now the German plan has completely bankrupted their plan. Everyone writes the amount of donation by himself, and there is no chance to communicate with other sovereigns. This makes them have to go all out. Otherwise, once you have reservations, but others go all out without reservations, the final consequences will be very serious.
??The rulers of various Indian states also have many conflicts with each other. If you want them to really unite and unite, it is almost impossible. Therefore, for their own benefit, they can only do their best.
"No matter what, you must get the first place. That not only means a fertile and rich territory, but also can be appreciated and reused by the Germans. The Germans have promised to choose one of the states in India. The sovereign is here to rule India. Even if it is only in name, it is worth my best effort!" Mir Osman Ali Khan said.
??This news, the other sovereigns did not know. This is also what the German government told him specially in order to reward Mir Osman Ali Khan. Of course, if Mir Osman Ali Khan was reluctant to spend money and failed to get the first place in military donations, then this good deed would not be his turn.
"The British set up the vice king of India to manage India, but the vice king of India has always been held by the British. If the Germans set up the vice king of India, it would be the sovereign. For me, it is an irresistible temptation! So, this time I must grab the first place!" Mir Osman Ali Khan secretly made up his mind.
??Subsequently, Mir Osman Ali Khan wrote down the figure of donating 15 billion marks on the form. And this is almost equivalent to 80% of his net worth. It's also the only thing he can cash in quickly. Others are real estate such as land, houses and mines, which are not easy to realize.
??Mir Osman Ali Khan believed that among these landowners, there was no one with such courage as him. Therefore, this time he will be the first to donate military expenses.
??Other land lords are also aware of this. No one wants to be surpassed by other people, they all want to rank high in military donations, even be the first. Only in this way can we have the right to choose land first. Therefore, the only thing they can do is to donate as much military expenditure as possible to Germany. In this way, they can get what they want.
??Of course, such words will undoubtedly make these land lords bleed profusely. And the only victory seems to be the German Empire. Under the circumstances that these land lords have tried their best to donate military expenditures, it is not necessary to think about how much wealth Germany will get this time.
?? Ten minutes later, the dedicated staff took back the form, and then made statistics and rankings.
?? After an hour, the staff completed the statistics. When the ranking was delivered to Prime Minister Biluo, he almost didn't laugh out loud.
?? Ranked first is Mir Osman Ali Khan from Hyderabad. He donated fifteen billion marks. In second place is Mysore, which donated DM 14.5 billion. In third place is the state of Indore, which donated 12 billion marks. The fourth is Junagadh, which donated 10 billion marks, and Kashmir ranked seventh, donating 8 billion marks. The other sovereigns also donated a lot.
??It can be said that in order to be able to occupy a good position in this land distribution, the state leaders of each state have tried their best. After all, if you go to the bottom of the list, there is almost no room for choice.
?? There are nearly 600 states, large and small, and no one has donated less than 100 million military expenditures. Even if some states are not big, they are not rich. However, the wealth they have accumulated over the generations is equally astonishing.
??These landlords donated a total of 172.5 billion marks. Obviously, this is already a huge sum of money. Even Germany's gross national product for a year is nothing compared to it. These land lords are indeed fat and oily!
??The military and political ministers of the empire were all very happy after circulating this form. After all, this means that Germany will not be short of money for a long time to come. There is no shortage of money, which means that they can do a lot of things they want to do. And Germany's strength will inevitably be further improved because of this.
?? "Next, I announce the top 10 states in terms of donations! The first place, Hyderabad, donated 15 billion marks. The second place, Mysore, donated 14.5 billion marks..."
??When this list was announced, it also caused an uproar among the natives. They obviously did not expect that the top-ranked states would donate so much. Especially the Lord of Mysore, who is very regretful. Although 500 million marks is a large sum, if he insists on making it up, it is not impossible to make it up. As long as there are another 500 million marks, he can become the number one. At that time, the strength of Mysore will surpass that of Hyderabad and become the number one state in India.
?? It's just that it's too late to say these things now. They have no chance to come back again.
??Mir? Osman? Ali Khan is also terrified. If he keeps a little bit more, he may be surpassed. At that time, his loss will be great.
?? "Thank you for your help to the German Empire. The Empire will not forget you. One month later, the division of India's land is just beginning! The order of selection is this list of donations!" Prime Minister Biluo said.
?? "In addition, there is one more thing to announce. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire appointed Mir Osman Ali Khan as the Deputy King of India to replace the Empire and manage India. He is responsible for collecting taxes for the Empire!" Bilo said finally.
??For a while, the rulers of many Tubang regretted it too late!
