The Imperial Palace of the Chinese Empire, in Long Yufei's study. "Long Yufei sat behind the desk, playing with a golden Buddha in his hand. This golden Buddha was the gift given to Wei Yuan, the foreign minister of the Mughal Empire before. However, now this golden Buddha has fallen into the hands of the imperial emperor Long Yufei. Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, now sitting respectfully on the sofa in front of Long Yufei.

"Mr. Wei, it seems that those Indians are really willing to spend money this time! They actually offered to support us with 80 million Chinese yuan in military expenditure. Since this golden Buddha is a gift given to you by Indians, then you can take it!" Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, this is not very consistent with the rules!" Wei Yuan was a little worried. The empire implemented high salaries to support integrity, and the treatment of imperial officials and civil servants was a high income even in the country. Of course, although it could not be compared with those who did big business, it was also very rich. At the same time, the empire has always severely punished the corruption incident. This allowed the empire officials to gradually control their greed.

After all, the empire is now constantly expanding outward and there are opportunities everywhere. If you want wealth, you might as well go into business. If you want to be an official, you have to be able to withstand poverty.

Long Yufei waved his hand, and Wei Yuan then took the Golden Buddha away.

"Everyone, everyone tell me, how should we answer the Indians?" Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty. The military expenditure of 80 million yuan is already quite large. If we have this money, our financial pressure will be greatly alleviated!" said Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao. He was not in charge of the family and did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. When he was a foreign minister in the past, he didn't think that it was. Now that he has become the prime minister of the empire, he knows what it means to spend money like flowing water.

"Your Majesty. Should we agree to the Indians' request? The key is what policy will we implement in India in the future? Will we directly incorporate India into the empire like South Asia and Central Asia, or implement colonial rule? If India is to be incorporated into the empire, then how should we deal with the 200 million Indians? Do we want to treat the indigenous people in the South Asia and kill them all?" Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"Are you killed all the 200 million Indians?" Long Yufei frowned. Although he had killed a lot of people under his orders, especially the natives in the South China Sea, they were almost killed. If he wanted to order all 200 million Indians to be killed, he would really be unable to do anything. After all, he was a living person, not 200 million pigs.

"Your Majesty, if we do not consider incorporating India into the empire, it is undoubtedly a very good way to support an agent in India. Although the Mughal Empire has declined now, they still have a great influence in India. If we can support the Mughal Empire, they will become the rulers of India again. In this way, it will be easier to rule over India." said Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao.

Long Yufei fell into deep thought. India's soil is fertile and has rich resources. However, Indians are lazy by nature and are willing to be enslaved and oppressed by the rulers. These Indians have such a good natural environment, but they are still poor. In addition to the exploitation and oppression of the rulers, the more important reason why these Indians themselves are too lazy.

It can be said that those fertile lands are completely wasteful when they are in the hands of the Indians. If they are in the hands of the empire, they may be able to support more people. Of course, Long Yufei cannot kill all the 200 million Indians. Once India is incorporated into China, it is necessary to consider whether those Indians will have disputes with the people of the empire. He does not want to take over a mess.

Therefore, it seems that the implementation of colonial rule over India is undoubtedly the best result.

"Your Majesty, the Indians seem to be very rich! The Mughal royal family had 80 million yuan in vain. If we ask for more, those Indians might agree!" said General Sun Hao, the Chief of Staff.

Long Yufei nodded: "The wealth accumulated by the Mughal royal family over the past few hundred years must be very amazing. Although the British have gained the right to rule over India, because the Mughal royal family still has a great influence in India, the British have not had time to attack the Mughal royal family, and that huge wealth is still in the hands of the Mughal royal family!"

The reason why Britain was able to maintain its world hegemony was inseparable from India's support. Without the large amount of wealth collected from India, the British would not have enough financial resources to expand their army. It can be seen that if India was in the hands of the Chinese Empire, the empire could also obtain a large amount of wealth from India. At that time, the empire's financial resources would be greatly alleviated.

"Your Majesty, then we might as well ask the Mughal royal family to pay more military expenses! After all, it will cost a lot of money to defeat the millions of British and British-Indian troops entrenched in India!" said Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao.

"Well, since the Prince of India wants to see me, let him come to see me tomorrow morning!" Long Yufei said.

Early the next morning, the prince of the Mughal Empire, Mirza Jahan Shah, got up. With the help of his servants, he washed clean and waited for Wei Yuan, the imperial foreign minister. Yesterday, Wei Yuan had sent someone to tell him that the imperial emperor Long Yufei met him this morning. This made Mirza Jahan Shah very excited. He thought he was valued by the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

At 8:30 in the morning, the Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao took the car from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the manor and picked up Prince Mirza Jahan Shah. This was the first time Prince Mirza Jahan Shah saw this car, and it seemed very novel.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the industrial strength of the Chinese Empire is too strong, and even cars can be manufactured. I have been to the UK and other European countries a few years ago, but I have never seen cars." Prince Mirza Jahan Shah sighed.

"Your Highness, this is the crystallization of imperial industry and has only been manufactured in recent years. After driving away the British, the empire can export goods such as cars to India. At that time, all the Indian princes and nobles will be able to buy them!" Wei Yuan said.

Although most of India's population is very poor, it is still a huge market. Especially those princes and nobles, all of whom are rich, will surely make a lot of profits if they sell cars to Indians. Of course, all of this will have to wait until the war is over before the empire's major automobile factories can be transferred from production trucks to civilian cars.

The car was very fast, and Wei Yuan took Prince Mirza, Jahan and Shah to the palace. The imperial cabinet prime minister Lin Zihao and the chief of staff General Niu Meng had already been waiting in the study of the imperial emperor Long Yufei. The king and his ministers had already agreed that this time, they had to blackmail the Indians.

"See Your Majesty the Chinese Emperor!" After seeing Long Yufei, Prince Mirza Jahan Shah respectfully saluted Long Yu.

"No gift!" Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let me convey my sincere respect for you. Now, India is under the brutal rule of the British, and the vast majority of Indian people are living in the heat of water. For this reason, we hope that the Chinese Empire can raise troops to help India and drive away the British!" said Prince Mirza Jahan Shah.

"The Chinese Empire should help India with the ancient civilization leading to Asia. However, now that the empire is going to war on various battlefields, the military and military resources consumed have almost reached its limit!" Long Yufei looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the Mughal Empire is willing to provide the Chinese Empire with 200 million rupees of military expenditure!" Prince Mirza Jahan Shah said quickly.

"Is it two hundred million rupees?" Long Yufei frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the amount.

"Your Majesty, if 200 million Lu Bi is converted into Hua Yuan, it is equivalent to 80 million Hua Yuan." Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

"What can I do if the British have more than 1.2 million troops in India, and this number is still increasing. If the empire wants to send troops to India and defeat the British, it will require at least 700,000 people. The ammunition consumed by these 700,000 people is an astronomical number. Eighty million Chinese Yuan is only equivalent to a fraction of the maximum!" General Sun Hao, the chief of staff, said disdainfully.

Prince Mirza Jahan Shah opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Your Highness, if the Mughal Empire is willing to provide military expenditure, we don't mind helping India and driving away the British rulers!" Long Yufei said.

Prince Mirza Jahan Shah hesitated for a moment. He was not a fool. He knew that the Chinese Empire wanted a lion to speak out. However, if the British colonists could be driven away and India could be returned to the control of the Mughal Empire, it would be worth it even if it was paid a great price.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Mughal Empire is willing to pay military expenses. However, the Mughal Empire is poor and I don't know if it can afford it." Mirza Jahan Shah said.

"Chief of the General Staff, if we want to eliminate the British* army entrenched in India, how much military expenditure will we need to spend?" Long Yufei asked.

"Your Majesty, 700,000 troops are attacking India. To eliminate millions of British troops, we need to spend at least 2 billion Chinese yuan!" Admiral Sun Hao directly reported a number without blinking.
