    Canning, Charles and others entered the governor's office and took their seats one by one.

    Everyone looked at James Bruce and saw that James Bruce had a zombie face on his face. They knew that the situation was not good. Li Zhen must have made an unreasonable request. James Bruce breathed a long sigh of relief and said feebly: "Li Zhen."  Zhen¡¯s reply letter has been received. Li Zhen refused to implement the condition of releasing the soldiers first and demanded that we immediately withdraw from New Delhi and withdraw from India. Only after our troops withdraw from India, Li Zhen will release the captured imperial soldiers.¡±

    "It's too much to bully others."

    Charles frowned, his expression frightening.

    Although he is just a small Chief Secretary for Administration with a small official position, he is still an important member of the government, and the Charles family also has a title. Charles himself is a baron. He raised his head and looked directly at James Bruce, solemnly  He said: "Your Majesty the Governor, Li Zhen has made excessive demands again and again, which has affected the face of our British Empire. We must not give in. Regarding the issue of India, we have made many concessions and gave Li Zhen enough  To save face, Li Zhen goes too far and does not understand our difficulties at all. Since he is ruthless, we cannot blame us for being unjust, and we must not agree to Li Zhen."

    Canning raised the corners of his mouth and asked slowly: "What does Mr. Charles plan to do?"

    Charles said without hesitation: "Fight to the bitter end."

    He held his head high, looking solemn and upright.

    Canning sneered in his heart. He had long seen through the face of Chief Secretary Charles. This guy was a man who yelled a lot but couldn't get things done. Once he actually used a knife or a gun, he would retreat faster than anyone else.  , Canning said with a joking look on his face: "Since Your Excellency Charles plans to fight to the end, I fully support it. However, after Colonel Vita was captured, there was no one to lead the troops. I propose that Your Excellency Charles lead the troops to fight. Do you think  How about it."

    "No, this won't work."

    Without waiting for the other officials to answer, Charles shook his head quickly and glared at Canning fiercely.

    This guy is so insidious.

    "If he leads troops to fight, he will not be torn apart by the Chinese army.

    Charles rolled his eyes and explained: "It is the responsibility of generals to lead troops to fight. I am just a civilian official, only responsible for government affairs. It is impossible to lead troops. If someone like me who doesn't understand military affairs leads troops,  This is a huge mistake and will cause the army to fall into an abyss. It is inappropriate. If I were a soldier, I would definitely lead the troops and fight with Li Zhen to the end, even if I shed the last drop of blood, I will fight to the end."

    These words sounded passionate, but they had no inciting power and earned the whole room a blank stare.

    Canning even sneered, extremely disappointed with Charles.

    James Bruce said with a smile on his lips: "Your Excellency Charles is unwilling to lead troops to fight, and the rest of the people do not have the ability, so we can only agree to Li Zhen's conditions. I also thought that if Your Excellency Charles can lead the troops and Li Zhen  Zhen's army is fighting, and we can fight to the end with blood, but it's a pity."

    "ah,."

    Charles was stunned for a moment and was stunned for a moment.

    Damn, this is the prelude to the trap. It gave James Bruce a chance to step down. What he just said was squeezed a few times by Canning, and then James Bruce had an excuse. It can be said that the people below are difficult to  He was competent, and Charles was the scapegoat pushed out of the tank. For a moment, Charles felt extremely regretful.

    Regardless of Charles' reaction, James Bruce continued: "The matter is now over, we will withdraw from New Delhi, but even if we withdraw, we cannot leave any benefits to Li Zhen. The general direction will not change, but the rest can be changed.  "

    Canning said: "Please give me your instructions, Your Excellency the Governor."

    James Bruce said with a bad smile on his face: "First, before we leave, we must take away all the money, jewelry, weapons and ammunition, etc. we can take away. What cannot be taken away cannot be left to Li Zhen, and it will be destroyed directly.  Second, call together the big businessmen in New Delhi and surrounding cities, as well as the puppets we support, tell them the results of Li Zhen¡¯s treatment of people who have committed major crimes, publicize the Gulzari incident, and let these people carry money and  Let's leave together and let them destroy what they can't take away; thirdly, all the railways, highways, etc. we built that are no longer needed will be destroyed. Even the docks, ports, etc. on the riverside will be destroyed and cannot be left.  To Li Zhen; fourthly, if you leave, you have to cause some trouble for Li Zhen, publicize the story of Li Zhen¡¯s killing all the way, portray Li Zhen as a ferocious hungry tiger, frighten the local people, and cause some unrest, even though it is from a distance.  It¡¯s hard to give in, but you can give it a try.¡±

    After listening to this, Canning praised: "The Governor is wise. Although we lost, we can't make Li Zhen happy."

    Charles felt uncomfortable and simply stopped talking.

    ?Government officials all agreed with James Bruce's opinion, so James Bruce began to assign tasks, assign things one by one, and hand them over to officials for execution. When James Bruce and his officials were acting aggressively, Li Zhen won over James Bruce.  telegram, with a bright smile on his face.

    So far, things have finally been settled.

    Li Zhen asked someone to confirm the situation in New Delhi. I don't know how good it was. After asking about it, he was so angry that he vomited blood because James Bruce scratched the ground three feet when he left and took away almost everything he could and could not take away.  Everything was also destroyed. This result was unexpected by Li Zhen, and he was really helpless.

    ¡°Moreover, Li Zhen couldn¡¯t find a reason to blame.

    Li Zhen called Guo Songtao and asked Guo Songtao to send troops to New Delhi to take over the city. After Guo Songtao received the order, he dispatched troops and appointed officials in New Delhi.

    A two-pronged approach will ensure that New Delhi can receive it smoothly.

    Next, Li Zhen sent people to track the whereabouts of James Bruce and the British army, and found that the British army had sailed south to sea. Li Zhen then went to the military camp where the British soldiers were detained, ordered the soldiers to release all the British soldiers, and then prepared a large ship to send them to the British  The soldiers left. These British soldiers got rid of the threat of the Chinese army and did not dare to stay anymore. They boarded the ship and left as quickly as possible.

    India no longer has the power of the British army, nor the power of Prawandin. The forces of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong cooperate with the actions of Li Zhen's army, and the remaining forces in India are not big or small, and they no longer affect the overall situation.  Unification is the general trend.

    ¡­¡­

    Time flies and it¡¯s already early December.

    It has been more than a month since Guo Songtao took office as the governor of India, and it has been a month since the British troops withdrew from India. The remaining personnel left by the British were also cleaned up by Guo Songtao. In this month, Guo Songtao sorted out the officials from various regions in India.  , and re-appointed officials from various places to take India into their hands.

    Now that things have come to this, Li Zhen plans to leave.

    On this day, someone came to the military camp who Li Zhen had to meet. Xi Yinglong, the former overlord of Guangxi, surrendered all his military power and came to the military camp in Calcutta to meet Li Zhen.
