Answers
As me being a British officer, I should have everything under control. I should know at any time there might be a revolt against the ruling force.
I would be prepared for such an attack.
When the rebellion broke out, I must take it under control or at least try to take it under control without taking any serious charges against the rebellions unless otherwise, they are armed.
Even if they are armed, using any weapons against them would cause serious damage or death, so I will never allow myself or others in my team to use weapon because this will trigger others in the country.
Another important point is that this revolt should not be spread to another state or district. This will also lead a breakout in other states and the rebels might get together as it will be very difficult to handle when all the rebels join as one.
The main policy of the Britishers was “divide and rule” and I must ensure that no information goes out that would eventually break this policy.
