Originally at this time, India was fighting for the status of a dominion under the name of the British Empire. They felt that as the most important overseas colony of the British Empire, they should be the most important in terms of status, so they should have the status of a dominion like the Maple Leaf Country, Australia and other countries.
However, India was most worried about the independence of the diamond on its crown, so it did everything possible to obstruct the independence movement of India and never gave them such a status.
At this moment, after the fall of the British Empire, India suddenly discovered something: the British Empire’s homeland was gone, so where would the capital of the British Empire be located?
King George V, the Asan Emperor, is now on their Asan land. In other words, the new capital of the British Empire is likely to be set up on Asan’s territory. Doesn’t this mean that Asan will play the role of the former British homeland and become the new headquarters of the British Empire?
Thinking of this, the Asan people were overjoyed!
From a colony to a core territory, this is a huge improvement in their status. Once they become a native, they will directly skip the step of dominion and upgrade to an independent country!
Moreover, this country is the famous British Empire!
To be honest, the Asan people have never been so proud as they are now!
They are proud of their identity as British people. Although King George V has not officially established a capital in Asan, the Asan people have already begun to regard themselves as the orthodox British Empire!
For the Asan people, because of the long-term invasion and rule of foreign invaders, they are not very disgusted with the British invader. What they dislike is their colonial identity. What they want is an independent country!
At this time, as long as King George V built a capital in India, their wish would be fulfilled. As for who the ruler of the country is, they don’t care much about it. Anyway, weren’t they ruled by foreign invaders in the past?
King George V has been worried deep in his heart since he left the British mainland.
He lost the support of the British mainland and lost most of the population. He arrived in India with a large population with only a small number of troops. Can he suppress the Indians with a population of 250 million and establish a new British Empire here?
To be honest, this is quite difficult, even more difficult than hell!
King George V left his homeland with less than 20,000 troops. After arriving in Africa, he drew a part from North Africa and East Africa. A total of 200,000 troops and 400,000 ordinary people arrived in India!
The British army originally had about 350,000 troops stationed in India. The population of India is not very large, with a total of only about 2.5 million. Even if the British troops stationed in Malaya and other places are included, the total number of troops under King V is less than one million, about 700,000.
And how many people are there in India?
253 million!
Using 700,000 troops and a population of less than three million to rule 250 million people does not sound reliable!
In particular, there are more than 2 million colonial troops in India, mainly composed of Indians. If this army starts to rebel, the army in his hands will not be able to suppress it at all!
Therefore, after King George V arrived in India, he almost lived in the barracks and rarely left!
After giving a speech, he was nervously paying attention to the developments in India, and urgently summoned the people of India who were scattered all over the world, calling on them to come to India together, gather under their flags, and enrich their strength to help themselves gain a foothold in India. In this way, they will have the possibility of rebuilding a new India.
At this time, the 7 million young and middle-aged people who were sent out of the country because of the economic crisis became the hope of King George V and the entire British Empire!
If these 7 million people can go to South Asia and join his army, then he will have 7 million more soldiers. If these people are armed, his confidence will increase a lot!
However, before those overseas British Empires go to South Asia, the three Indians came to him on their own initiative!
King George V sent away the Indian representatives with a strange look on his face, and then summoned the governor of the British Empire’s colony stationed in India.
At this time, the governor of the colony stationed in India was named Edward Frederick, who was the first generation of Baron Dalvin and one of the British Empire’s nobles.
Because he had been working in the Indian colony for a long time, he had dealt with the locals of India a lot during this period, so compared with the locals such as George V who came from afar, he was obviously much clearer about the thoughts of the Indians and their true intentions.
Therefore, after being summoned by King George V, Baron Dalvin quickly told King George V the intelligence he had.
“Your Majesty, the Indians have always been pursuing an independent status, or at least the status of an autonomous territory. If we build our capital here, then for a long time, the main body of the empire will be India, so they actually own a country. This is why they support and welcome you!”
Baron Dalvin’s words made King George V suddenly enlightened. He was very curious. He was obviously an alien invader, so why did the local Indians welcome him so much? When they met him, they all knelt on the ground respectfully, kissed his shoes on the ground, and almost treated him like a god!
This scared King George V. When he was in China, ordinary people would barely kneel down to him and would never kneel down to him! Nowadays
, let alone Europe, even the Celestial Empire has abolished the etiquette of kneeling, but here in India, he enjoyed not only kneeling, but also the kind of worship!
This group of Indians not only treated him with great respect, but also brought very valuable gifts to welcome him. The people who represented the landlords and big businessmen in India, if they didn’t make a move, it would be fine, but once they did, it would be terrifying!
They gave King George V a full 200 tons of gold!
