Baron Charles Harding appeased Tilak and others, assuring them that although the current battle situation is not good for the British and Indian troops, they still hold a great advantage. And promised that the conditions he promised before will never be discounted in the slightest. After they defeat the Germans, they must allow India to self-govern and eventually achieve independence.
Tilak and others asked the British and Indian colonial authorities to ensure the safety of Indian soldiers fighting on the front line as much as possible, and not allow them to sacrifice needlessly.
Baron Charles Harding naturally agreed to this. It's just that Tilak and others don't know what he thinks in his heart. In fact, Baron Charles Harding also didn't care about the life and death of Indian natives. What he cares about is how to win this battle. As long as he can defeat the Germans, he is willing to kill no matter how many people die. Of course, the prerequisite is that these people who died were all Indians, not British. Compared with Indians, the lives of British people are undoubtedly much more precious.
"Your Excellency, the authorities are under a lot of pressure now! Because we need to rely on those Indian natives to gather troops for us, we can't fall out with them yet. When we defeat the Germans and get through this crisis Sometimes, sometimes it's time to settle accounts with them. So, for the time being, you need to be more patient!" said Baron Charles Harding.
Lord William Nicholson nodded. He knew Baron Charles Harding's plan and knew that the focus now was to deal with the Germans. As for the indigenous Indians, the two parties are still in a cooperative relationship. If you want to tear up the cooperation and turn to Indian natives, you have to wait until the Germans are defeated. Now is not the time to tear your face apart. Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome.
"After we defeat the Germans, we must completely eradicate these guys. Otherwise, our rule in India will not last long." Lord William Nicholson said.
"Yes, no matter what, those guys can't stay. Of course, if we try our best and can't beat the Germans, then let them fight those guys. Let the Germans spend more energy A little in India, the British Empire will be relatively safer." Baron Charles Harding said.
If Baron Charles Harding was full of confidence in this plan before, then his confidence is not so full now.
"Your Excellency, the combat staff have submitted a battle plan. If we can succeed, we may be able to defeat the Germans!" Lord William Nicholson said.
"Oh? What plan?" Charles? Baron Harding asked.
"The reason why the Germans were able to defeat us on the west coast was that their fleet played a big role. The main guns of the battleships were so powerful that they frightened the native Indians. Especially those Indian natives who had just joined the army. .As long as the German fleet bombards them, they will collapse immediately. If this is the case, the battle cannot be fought at all." Lord William Nicholson said.
Baron Charles Harding nodded. The German artillery fire is too strong, which is indeed a very big problem. It can be said that since the last world war, the Germans have used their firepower to the extreme.
Whether it is the artillery of the army or the naval guns of the navy, they all deal a strong blow to the enemy, enabling them to gain an advantage in the war. In many cases, the troops of the Allied Powers suffered losses in this regard, which made them lose the battle.
"So, the combat staff proposed to fight the Germans far away from the coast. In this way, we don't have to worry about being attacked by the German fleet. In this way, we can gather superior forces, launch a siege against the Germans, and encircle and wipe out them in one fell swoop Take down their troops and win the war!" said Lord William Nicholson.
"That's a good idea." Baron Charles Harding nodded. If you can effectively restrain the strengths of the German army and bring out your own strengths, it is entirely possible to defeat the Germans.
"Your Excellency, we plan to attack the German Eighth Army first. This plan is to attack northward. Their destination is undoubtedly Delhi. And we can just gather the elite forces near Delhi and besiege They," continued Lord William Nicholson.
"The 8th Army? That was Kaiser Wilhelm III's first army. Among the German Army, it is also the most powerful army. If this army can be eaten, I think the Kaiser will be furious. This is for Germany It is also a great blow to the morale of the people. I agree to gather the main force and launch an attack on the German Eighth Army." Baron Charles Harding said.
The 8th Army has a great reputation, especially because Qin Tian served as the commander of the 8th Army, which made this army call itself the emperor's Imperial Guard. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army is beyond doubt. Before the military reform, the 1st Army had more than 300,000 troops and was strong, making it the most powerful of the many German armies. However, after the military reform, each group army has only 200,000 people. Under the same strength, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Army is naturally better. It can be seen from this that the 8th Army is the most powerful army of the German army, which is beyond doubt.
"Your Excellency, if we can eat the German Eighth Army in one fell swoop, then we have a great chance of winning this battle. After eating the Eighth Army, the remaining German Fourth Army will not be enough Forget it. If we gather the main force, we can still eat them. Of course, the premise is that the Germans will not send more troops to the Indian battlefield. In that case, it will be very difficult for us to win." William Nick Lord Elson Books.
"Well, then in this battle, we have to devote all our main force." Baron Charles Harding said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Governor. I plan to devote all the British troops stationed in India to this battle. In addition, the 1st Army of the British Indian Army, the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 9th 10 All of these group armies will also participate in this battle. This time, we will invest as many as 1.8 million people. Among them, 200,000 are the elite British Army. We will definitely be able to solve the Germans' first attack. The Eighth Army!" William Nicholson was full of confidence.
"Then, this battle is the decisive battle of the entire Indian battlefield! God will bless us and defeat the Germans!"
