"Your Majesty, there is also a problem here. If we sell the fertile land in India to those land lords, will this make those land lords more powerful, so that there will be a situation where the tail cannot be lost? For example, Hyde Rababang, they originally had a territory of more than 100,000 square kilometers and a population of 20 million. If their territory doubled, they would have a territory of nearly 300,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 50 million. Even From the perspective of the whole world, this is also a populous country." said Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit.

Qin Tian shook his head: "It's not that easy. Although Hyderabad can be regarded as the largest state in India, they have no other advantages except for a larger population. The industry is backward and almost blank. Even if their territory and population doubled, they were still weak lambs in the eyes of the empire. As long as the empire wanted to, they could kill them at will.

In addition, there are too many states in India, nearly six hundred large and small. There are also many states that are not inferior to Hyderabad. After their strength expands, they will check and balance each other. This will make them have no energy to fight against the empire at all.

Besides, although the big and small parties in India have different views, their goals are the same. That is to hope that India can become independent. And this has obviously formed a huge conflict with the interests of those land lords. Therefore, those local lords will never let those parties run amok. At that time, I am afraid that fierce conflicts and wars will break out between them. In that case, all their energies will be spent on suppressing the rebellion of those parties. This makes them only move closer to the empire, rather than betray the empire. After all, with the support of the empire, they were able to keep their status and wealth, and their current life of prosperity.

In the end, those land lords are almost all indulgent fellows, and they have no fighting spirit at all. Betrayal of the empire would cost a huge price, even one's own life would be costly. I think those guys definitely don't have that guts. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid that after their strength increases, it will be detrimental to the empire! "

The military and political ministers of the empire nodded again and again. Qin Tian's analysis is undoubtedly in place. It can be said that the Indian rulers are like a group of parasites, parasitic on the Indians and sucking their blood. Without the protection of the empire, they would not even be able to keep their own power, and even their lives would be lost in the ensuing passionate resistance. Under such circumstances, only a fool would abandon the great backer of the empire. After all, the German Empire is the hegemon of the world, is there a thicker thigh than the German Empire?

"Your Majesty, your analysis is indeed very reasonable. However, we have to guard against the machinations of those enemies. The enemies of the empire will not allow the empire to rule India in a stable manner and obtain wealth from India. If we will manage India If the power is distributed to those local lords, they will definitely sow dissension." Imperial Foreign Minister Wahit continued.

Qin Tian nodded: "Indeed, this is entirely possible. In order to defeat the Empire and pull the Empire from the throne of the world's hegemony, those guys will definitely use everything. Therefore, we will use India's management power Distributed to those land lords. But again, the empire needs to maintain a strong military force in India. It is necessary for the imperial army to keep an army in India, and then recruit a force from India that is completely loyal to the empire. Disagree with the establishment of the British The **** British-Indian army, the army established by the empire in India, must have strong combat effectiveness. The empire does not expect them to fight the enemies of the empire, but it must be able to suppress the rebellion in India. In that case, Empire will be able to secure its dominion in India."

What Qin Tian said about distributing the management power of India to the sovereign does not mean that Qin Tian will give up his rule over India. Nominally, India would remain a German colony. Diplomacy must still be consistent with Germany. At the same time, Germany must retain the right to station troops in India.

"Your Majesty, I propose that we distribute the territories of India to those landowners, in addition to exchanging wealth. The empire also needs to obtain a certain amount of tax from India every year. Each state is divided according to its population, territory, and resources. share. In this way, I think the empire will be able to obtain a fortune from India every year. Although it is not as good as the wealth obtained from selling land to the lord, it is better than a long stream of water. In that case, we can at least obtain from India every year. An income of more than one billion and two billion marks. This will also be a great supplement to the empire's finances." said the imperial prime minister Biluo.

"Well, this is also a good idea. Although India's economy is not developed, it is rich in resources. At the same time, India has a large population, and most of the people are submissive. If those landlords are more exploitative, they will be able to get money from those Indians. If enough wealth is exploited from people. In that case, we only need to share a part of it, which is not a small amount. It will be a great supplement to the empire's finances." Qin Tian said.

"Wahit, talk to Mir Osman Ali Khan. Test his reaction. If they are willing to accept, then let's do it!" Qin Tian said.

Although India has fertile land and abundant resources. But Qin Tian didn't care much about that territory at all. What he cares about is how much wealth the German Empire can get from India. If he can get a huge amount of wealth from India and can get it every year, then this will make him very satisfied. As for whether the Indians are living in dire straits, Qin Tian doesn't care about it. He doesn't care about the life or death of the Indians. What he cares about is the hegemony of the German Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Vashite nodded.

That night, Wahit went to the hotel where Mir Osman Ali Khan was staying. During the chat, Mir Osman Ali Khan revealed a little about Germany's plan to deal with India.

Suddenly, Osman Ali Khan was dumbfounded. It never occurred to him that the Germans would give up direct rule over India. As the lord of the country, he knows how rich India is, and those docile Indians are no different from slaves. The German's disposal plan was like a big pie that fell on his head.
