The first thousand four hundred and twenty-eight chapters
It only took two months from the outbreak to the basic extinguishment of the Indian uprising. Although the Indian uprising army has not been completely eliminated, overall, the main force of the uprising army has been eliminated. As long as the remaining remnants continue to maintain the intensity of the clearance, I believe that they will be wiped out soon. There is no problem with handing over the remaining clearance to the Turkish troops of various Indian states to complete.
"Your Majesty, this time the Germans were in vain. They invested so much financial and material resources in India and originally thought they could cause us a big trouble. What was the result? We suppressed them in less than two months. Their efforts were not rewarded at all!" Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said with a smile. When the Indian uprising broke out, everyone gritted their teeth to the hatred of the Germans. No one expected that the suppression of the rebellion would be so smooth. After all, India has too many populations, and if the uprising spreads across the country, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble. A country with a population of 200 million is enough to form a big quagmire of war. Even with the strength of the Chinese Empire, once it gets trapped in, it may not be easy to get out. After all, India is too important to the empire, and the empire cannot give up India.
"Yes! But this is a completely good thing for the empire! Now that the rebels among the Indians are wiped out, there is no need to worry that they will get up and make trouble again after the war breaks out!" Long Yufei said with a smile. At first, he was also worried that India would become a quagmire in war. But now it seems that he was too worried. The Indians are lazy and obedient, and even if they let them rebel, they do not have this talent! In addition, they can solve this problem before the war breaks out. This undoubtedly allows the empire to go to war with the Germans with confidence and boldness, and there is no need to worry about a fire in the backyard. It can be said that the Germans have completely lost a handful of rice this time. Their investment and efforts in India are in vain.
"Haha! That's right, the Germans did suffer a big loss this time!" The other senior military and political officials also laughed.
The Germans have always wanted to plot against the empire, but this time they failed to succeed, which caused them to suffer huge losses. The Indian uprising did not have any impact on the empire's military preparations. It can be foreseeable that by mid-next year, the empire's war preparations will be completed. At that time, it will be the time when the empire starts war against the holy alliance. It is impossible for the Germans to fight against the empire.
"Everyone, India's rebellion has been quelled, so our main energy must still be put back into the preparations for war. It is only one year before we have planned to start the war! Within a year, relevant combat preparations must be completed. The importance of this battle to the empire is beyond words! In this battle, the empire must win!" Long Yufei said firmly. For the rise of the Chinese Empire, it has reached the most critical moment. As long as this battle is finished, no country can threaten the empire's world hegemony again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The senior military and political officials of the empire all replied. Everyone is very clear about the current situation and also knows the empire's goals. After so many years of hard work, victory seems to be near. As long as we win the next war, the empire will rest assured.
Although the Boers' rebellion continued at this moment. But the military and political leaders of the empire were not worried. The Indian uprising had been suppressed. How long will the Boers' rebellion last? There were only more than one million people in total. The empire invested two cavalry troops into South Africa, more than 70,000 people, which was enough to solve them. Not to mention defeating the rebellion that suppressed the Boers, even if it was to destroy the Boers, it would not be difficult.
Compared with the optimistic empire leaders, the German leaders far away in Europe now seemed speechless after they got the result of the Indian uprising being basically extinguished. They had high hopes for the Indian uprising. But now, this is the result.
German Emperor William I held a meeting of imperial predecessors specifically for this to discuss how to deal with this matter. Originally, Germany hoped to use the Indian uprising to consume the strength of the Chinese Empire and gain enough time for war preparations for Germany. But now, the Indian uprising was quickly extinguished, which caused huge problems in their plans.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the situation is not as smooth as we expected! The Indian uprising army has been basically eliminated, and now only a few small troops are still insisting on it. However, under the encirclement of more than 100,000 cavalry of the Chinese and the Indian territory troops from all over the country, it is obvious that the Indian uprising army will not last long. It seems that our plan to use India to consume the strength of the Chinese is considered a failure!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said with a ugly face. The plan that everyone hoped for was the result in the end, which was indeed a great blow to people.
"Bastard! Those Indians are so trash. There are 200 million Indians. The Indians who participated in the uprising have reached tens of millions. The size of the rebel army is as large as several million. As a result, they were defeated within two months. What is this?" Crown Prince Frederick William couldn't help but swear. He asked the Indians to revolt in advance. This idea was made by him. In the end, if they failed, he would definitely bear part of the responsibility.
When the Indian uprising had just broken out, the entire German decision-making team was very happy and believed that the Indian uprising had achieved great success. Especially when the rebel army developed to millions, they thought that it was only a matter of time before the entire India was captured by the rebel army. If the Chinese did not want to lose India, they had to send large troops to India to suppress the rebellion. In that case, it would not only consume the strength of the Chinese, but also delay the Chinese war preparation time. If India could form a huge war quagmire and let the Chinese fall in and never get up again, Germany would have achieved a great victory.
However, when the Chinese army entered India and began to suppress the rebellion, the situation took a sharp turn. Millions of Indian uprising troops were defeated and suffered heavy losses when they faced less than one-tenth of the Chinese army and the Indian territory army. This result was like a basin of cold water that poured on the heads of the German decision-making level, which made them stunned.
Subsequently, as they expected, the Indian uprising army was defeated in several major wars, which directly led to the failure of the entire Indian uprising. Such a result was undoubtedly bitter and unacceptable. However, the final result was like this, and they had no choice but to accept it!
"Your Highness, the Boers' uprising is still accumulating. The Chinese have not yet launched a large-scale action against the Boers. Perhaps, we still have a chance!" said Earl of Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron.
Although the Chinese Empire had sent troops to South Africa to suppress the Boers, South Africa was too far away from the Empire and the climate was completely different from the Northern Hemisphere, which forced the imperial cavalry to adapt to the local climate and delay the suppression of the Boers after arriving in South Africa. However, according to the deployment, the imperial cavalry would soon launch an attack on the Boers.
"Hmph! The Boers' uprising had no effect on the Chinese. There were only more than one million Boers in total, and the Chinese sent more than 70,000 troops to South Africa, all of which were elite troops that participated in the last World War. It was impossible for the Boers to fight against these elite Chinese cavalry." Frederick William shook his head.
In fact, everyone knows that the Boer uprising was just a trivial matter for the Chinese Empire! What they really valued was the Indian uprising, and the Boer uprising was just to restrain part of the Chinese army.
"Everyone, so far, we can see that our plan has failed! The Indian uprising and the Boer uprising cannot consume much of the Chinese's strength or delay the Chinese's preparation for war. Therefore, in a year, we may have to face the attack of the Chinese!" German Emperor William I's face was as gloomy as water.
War is imminent. However, the Germans' war preparations were not completed. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Germany. Although the Holy Alliance is not weak, it seems to be a bit difficult to confront the Chinese Empire. This is especially true when war preparations are insufficient.
"Your Majesty, now we have no other way, we can only speed up the pace of war preparation. I suggest that enterprises related to military industry can first enter the wartime system. In this way, our war preparation progress will be much faster. Even when the war breaks out, the war preparation cannot be fully completed, but the difference will not be too much." Earl Mawch, Chief of Staff of the German General Staff, said.
"But if we do this, will it intensify the current international situation?" Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron was a little worried.
"I can't control so much. A war between the Holy Alliance and the Peace Alliance is inevitable. Even if the war breaks out suddenly, it is not impossible. We must find a way to strengthen our preparations for war. Otherwise, once the war is lost, Germany will be completely over!" Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck's eyes also flashed with a hint of determination. Germany has only been reunification for a few years, and they really don't want Germany, which has just been unified, to be divided again.
"Okay, as Your Excellency the Prime Minister said, we have no way out! From now on, speed up the preparations for war!" William I also made up his mind. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
