: 0.064s Scan: 0.030sAfter receiving this news from Sir Dalvin, King George V was completely relieved.
At this time, the British mainland had fallen. Although he issued a call and expressed his position to retake the British mainland.
However, Western Europe had completely fallen into Hans’s world at this time. It was very difficult to retake it. At least they had no chance before Hans declined or was defeated by other countries.
So whether he was willing or not, he could only establish a country here in Asan.
And when the country established by Asan stabilizes, even if the British mainland is taken back in the future, it may not be moved back to the British mainland.
After all, in the competition with Hans and Eagle Sauce, the decline of the British mainland has been very obvious!
The area of the British mainland is too small. The area of more than 200,000 square kilometers greatly restricts their development potential. Even if they manage the local area well, such a small area cannot support a powerful superpower!
If they want to continue to maintain the great power status of the British Empire, they must move their capital and leave the British mainland!
The location of South Asia is undoubtedly the best. As long as they gain a foothold here, they can control Southeast Asia, Australia, East Africa, the Middle East and many other territories!
In this way, they have a lot of land, a large number of vassal states and younger brothers, and this place is very far away from Europe. Even if Hans wants to attack them, he can’t send troops directly!
Their army has to travel at least tens of thousands of kilometers from their homeland and cross the borders of several countries. By then, the German logistics system will probably be overwhelmed by this long journey!
Therefore, the situation of King George V and his new British Empire is quite safe. The only possibility of their invasion on land is the Celestial Empire in the north, because the Celestial Empire occupies the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which poses a strategic threat to their hinterland. As long as they take this place, no one can invade them from land!
When King George V thought of this, he was overjoyed. He never thought that he, who was in a dead end before, would unexpectedly open up the situation and even get a wider stage!
He thought that the local people of India would be extremely disgusted with these foreign invaders, but he didn’t expect that they were not disgusted, but extremely supportive. This made him completely free of worries, and he didn’t even have to consider how to win the support of the locals!
So, on July 1, 1928, King George V officially rebuilt the British Empire in South Asia, built the capital in Delhi, and renamed it the New Fog City!
Because it is the main country of the New British Empire, this empire is also called the Indian Empire!
Externally, George V is still the king of the sun, the supreme head of the empire, and he can use this identity to require the colonies to continue to be loyal to the new British Empire.
Internally, he is the emperor of the Indian Empire. As an emperor, he requires the Indians to obey the government’s arrangements and start rebuilding the country!
The national characteristics of the Indians are obedience. Under the oppression of the caste system, their people have become accustomed to the fate of being oppressed!
No matter who comes to be the emperor, they are submissive and never like to resist. They always look like they are submissive.
It is very easy to manage such people. As long as their basic survival needs are guaranteed, they can work hard and never complain.
If such a country does not have a strong central government and a capable head of state, it will easily fall into chaos, and they will be trapped in poverty and hardship and will never be able to turn over in their lifetime.
However, the British Empire has been the world hegemon for hundreds of years, and their governance capabilities are still very strong!
Originally, the British Empire treated India as a colony, and only wanted to suck blood from India, and did not care about the lives of the Indians at all, so they did not have much interest in governing India, and India’s development in recent years was definitely not fast.
However, the British Empire still built a lot of factories and infrastructure in India, such as India’s railways.
In 1928, the total mileage of India’s railways had reached 67,000 kilometers, while the total mileage of China’s railways was only 12,000 kilometers. India’s railways were more than five times that of China.
Compared with China, it was a bit bullying. After all, China’s fate had been quite tragic since the Opium War. It had been in war for a long time and had never developed well!
However, even compared with the traditional developed countries in Europe, India’s railway mileage was still very large at this time.
In 1928, the total mileage of railways in the British mainland was 43,000 kilometers, and that in Gaul was 37,000 kilometers. After Mainz came to power, Hans built a large number of railways and highways, and their total railway mileage was only 75,000 kilometers, which was only slightly more than India!
In other words, if India was placed in Western Europe, India would rank second, second only to Hans!
It can be seen that the British Empire still put some effort into governing India. At least from the perspective of infrastructure such as railways, India’s foundation is not bad!
What they lacked were mainly factories of all kinds. After all, the main industries of the British Empire were concentrated in their own homeland.
Now that their homeland was gone, the factories would naturally have to be rebuilt in India. Otherwise, without industrial support, no matter how large the population of South Asia was, it would not be able to be armed and transformed into combat power.
Therefore, after the establishment of the new government of King George V, it immediately began to vigorously develop local industries, trying to establish a complete set of industrial bases in South Asia to replicate their miracles in the two industrial revolutions!
Originally, their industrial strength was not as good as that of the Eagle Sauce and Hans. At that time, they could shirk the excuse that the local population and area were insufficient and could not support so many factories.
But at this time, after obtaining 250 million Indians in South Asia, they did not lack labor at all, and India’s area was much larger than that of the British Empire. The area of plains alone was millions of kilometers, and there was no shortage of coastlines, ports, and rivers. The conditions for developing industry were excellent!
