British civil servant
Page 109
Governor Mountbatten is also thinking about the least responsible plan, hoping that the result of British India's independence will not affect his official career, so he is interested in Gandhi's suggestion.
Gandhi’s suggestion can try to swallow up the Muslim League, plot the entire British India, and put it under the leadership of the Congress Party. If Ali Jinnah disagrees, he can shirk his responsibility and say that the responsibility for the split between India and Pakistan is the responsibility of the peace believers Be opinionated.
Ali Jinnah would definitely not agree, and Ali Jinnah's reputation in later generations is indeed not as good as Gandhi.
"Gandhi really thought that his influence and prestige could handle everything. This is a subcontinent with a strong religious atmosphere." Alan Wilson already had a way and decided to disclose the matter to Ali Jinnah.
In the telegram, Alan Wilson hoped that Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League would not act rashly, because this was just a private conversation.And it has its own solution.
He remembered that Gandhi was assassinated by extreme Hindus in history, and the main crime was that Gandhi was too tolerant of peaceful believers?
It seems that history must be brought back to the original track. Whether streptomycin can cure Ali Jinnah's advanced tuberculosis, considering Ali Jinnah's age and habits, is actually a very small probability.
Once Jinnah falls and the Muslim League loses its backbone, it will not be an opponent of the Congress Party at all.Alan Wilson didn't want to make a lot of trouble on his own, but India didn't split?
After decades of splitting, India dares to be rude to the former suzerain country. How about keeping the intact India?
Although he received a lot of money in New Delhi, it is not a matter of money or not. There is still such a thing as patriotism in this world.
This time, Allen Wilson came to the door on his own initiative. With the aura of an old friend in Pakistan, he informed Gandhi of his thoughts, "If you agree, the dream of independence will come to naught. If you oppose, you are the person most responsible for the Partition of India and Pakistan." .So it’s best not to take a stand at the moment and wait and see.”
"I've said that Gandhi is full of intrigues, but he manages his image too well. It's almost impeccable." Ali Jinnah commented on Gandhi expressionlessly, with a rather indifferent look.
Ali Jinnah has long-term experience of working with Gandhi, so he doesn’t need Alan Wilson, an Englishman, to intervene if he knows Gandhi right, but he just said, “But he has been willing to be poor for decades and managed his own image of a saint, right? Such talents are difficult to deal with, and moral kidnapping is too scary."
"Moral kidnapping can kidnap others, and at the same time put yourself in a dangerous situation." Alan Wilson said this and kept silent.
Ali Jinnah asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I was wondering what would happen to a saint who betrayed Hinduism." Alan Wilson looked up. "The subcontinent is full of illiterates. What kind of moral kidnapping do they know, and what political methods can they see? What are those people thinking except Shiva?" People who don’t have any, if they know their leader and want to hand over the state power to someone from a rival sect, what will they do?”
"Maybe he will die." Alan Wilson laughed and said, "I will release the news at the right time, and the Muslim League will pretend that they don't know anything. Let's see if the saint can resist the dissatisfaction of Shiva's followers .”
Ali Jinnah listened to Alan Wilson's emotionless words, a trace of struggle flashed across his face, but in the end he said nothing.
"The governor is afraid of taking on the responsibility of India's independence, so it is inevitable to look forward and backward. I hope that this matter will change after Mr. Churchill arrives in India." Allen Wilson asked, "If you don't mind, I hope that when Mr. Churchill arrives, he will really Mr Na is welcome to come out publicly."
"No problem, I am very willing." Ali Jinnah nodded and agreed, "On the premise of maintaining Pakistan's independence."
"Of course, this is our common goal." Alan Wilson applauded loudly.
Chapter 313 Treasure Trap
Alan Wilson was an imperial civil servant, and of course he still had business to do.
Under Sir Barron's instructions, Patel was invited to send the elites of the Congress Party, which involves India's future political and economic system. For supporters, cultivating economic power is more focused on Patel's supporters.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Patel's supporters are focused on the economy is mainly because the Hindu conservatives seem more suitable to be a comprador force.
So why does free competition look so beautiful, but it can't be realized?Because the current globalization system promoted by Europe and the United States is essentially an exploitation system, a political and economic system in which strong countries continue to exploit weak countries, and a hunting ground for capital hunting. International capital mainly living in Western societies wantonly plunders world resources.
When backward countries open their doors, because these countries basically have no capital, they will become the targets of international capital plunder, and it is inevitable to form a class of compradors in the country. When this class controls state power, backward countries will forever become The prey of international capital cannot stand up.
Liberals in backward countries will all become comprador forces attached to Europe and the United States, almost without exception.The exceptions are nothing more than a few fish that slipped through the net after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
If you want to fight against international capital, you must have capital in your own hands, so that capital can defeat capital.For example, a certain big country has a set of state-owned capital called state-owned enterprises in its hands, which is the capital against international capital.
In fact, this capital also exists in India. It is a state-owned enterprise that has been continuously sold by Modi. It originated from the capital of Indian state-owned enterprises established after Nehru's independence. When India's state-owned capital is sold out, India's real suffering will not come. Long overdue.
When India is wiped out from top to bottom, this country will be judged not to pose a threat to the international order.
Alan Wilson is very entangled, because he is currently in the distress of me against myself, and he cannot weaken India too much, because India must prevent peace from teaching the world to unite.But it doesn't work if it's too strong. If it's too strong, it will disrespect the suzerain country.
Therefore, we can only act with ambivalence and act selfless, attracting two diametrically opposed factions of the Congress Party to benefit the post-independence India politically and economically.
It is also necessary to leave a back door for the withdrawn British Empire, and also consider that the back door should not be too large, it must be just right for the size of the British Empire, if it is too big, it would be bad to let the United States in.
So it is not easy, it is a matter that tests the ability of the imperial civil servants, how can he be so leisurely as the governor?
Regarding the choice of industry and agriculture, Alan Wilson also said to Patel's fans that the development of agriculture should be more consolidated. The surname Patel originally meant the village chief in terms of caste.
Although a low-level bureaucrat like the village chief can't be said to be a high-ranking official, he can't stand it. With India's population and area, there must be hundreds of thousands of villages.
The social and economic foundation of agriculture is stable and has not been separated from the influence of the small-scale peasant economy. Naturally, the industrialization process of the entire country has also been dragged down by the small-scale peasant economy.
Therefore, the influence of the village community culture derived from the small-scale peasant economy, and even the superstructure including the political system and military system developed from the village community culture, on economic development must eventually return to the village community itself.
In front of Patel's ultra-conservative supporters, Alan Wilson said that he must pay attention to agriculture, develop industry, and lay a solid foundation for development, which is simply a guiding light on the road of life.
"It's hard to believe that among the civil servants in the Governor's Palace, there are people who respect and consider India's national conditions. Mr. Allen is really admirable."
Faced with this kind of praise, Alan Wilson seemed very happy, and responded positively, "The word respect is the greatest compliment to me!" No one respects India more than Alan Wilson, he even respects Hinduism!
If he knew that these conservatives were so easy to fool, he would have taken the civil servants of the Governor's Mansion to find a temple to visit.Although he had served all the saints of the temple elders before, his respect for Hinduism has not changed.
He just regarded the act of carrying the saint as a merit, and told the governor's wife and daughter vividly. If he didn't say it, these Indians would not know.
"Pamela is fascinated by India's long history and culture, and has always wanted me to take her to see it." To be honest, it has always been a necessary skill for imperial civil servants, and Alan Wilson is of course no exception.
"If you want to experience India's long-standing mainstream culture, there is no better place than Birla Temple, especially for Delhi."
"I've wanted to see it for a long time." Alan Wilson expressed his interest, with an expression that our India is too powerful.
Delhi used to be the capital of the Mughal Empire. Most of the landmarks are related to the Peace Church. The Birla Temple is one of the few Hindu temples. As the capital of the Mughal Empire, the Hindu temples in Delhi are generally not Like the exaggerated temples in other places, there are all kinds of indescribable sculptures and paintings.
To be honest, most of the Hindu temples in the subcontinent are too exaggerated, and have nothing to do with the grandeur of religion.
The temple was built by De Wei Singer in [-] and repaired by Prithvi Singh in [-].More than ten years ago, the Lakshmi-Narayanga Temple was rebuilt by the rich Birla family in India. Therefore, this temple is also called the Birla Temple. When the temple was built, Mahatma Gandhi Attended the opening ceremony in person.
Alan Wilson is no stranger to the Birla family. He issued a green card to this family, and the other party accepted it.
The Birla family was a multi-millionaire during the First World War, and their current wealth has exceeded [-] million rupees. If the Tata family that manages steel is India's U.S. Steel Company, the Birla family is India's DuPont family.
For Allen Wilson, the Birla family, which has accepted the British identity, is undoubtedly one of their own, it should be said that they are ours.
This helps him achieve some goals, so that he can shirk his responsibility and appear as a victim when problems arise in the future.
Arm in arm, Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten stepped into the Birla Temple. Facing the magnificent temple, Pamela Mountbatten was full of excitement.
British India still has its merits, completely forgetting her attack on Hinduism in Alan Wilson's rescue of the saint a few days ago.
The elders of the temple seemed to be benevolent and benevolent, and they seemed to be ascetic, and Pamela Mountbatten felt that there was no problem.She still lacks experience and doesn't know the truth of people's appearance.
Because of the honorable status of the governor's daughter, the most senior elder of the temple came out to greet her in person, which was considered to be enough for the governor's face.
Alan Wilson followed Pamela Mountbatten, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind. "I heard people say that the belief here is sincere, and some wishes are fulfilled. I don't know if it's true."
"Sincerity leads to spirit, but it also depends on the degree of personal effort." The elder of the temple said to Alan Wilson through a translator.
"It makes sense. Of course, individual struggles must be considered, but there must also be historical factors." Alan Wilson chatted casually, pretending to be ignorant.
Arriving at a place that is definitely not small, but it is called a secret room, Alan Wilson waited on the side. This distance is just right, neither can hear anything, but also allows Pamela Mountbatten to be in sight.
The benevolent elder was preaching to the governor's daughter, and Pamela Mountbatten nodded for a while, showed nervousness for a while, and asked something.
The elder of the temple was talking nonsense in a serious manner. Although Alan Wilson did not understand Hindi, he believed that the Birla family would not deceive him and would definitely do things beautifully.
Among the previous incidents of Hollywood visitors, Alan Wilson's biggest gain was to prevent the incident from being exposed.
On the one hand, we should be more cautious in this aspect, and on the other hand, we need to be vaccinated.
To prevent Pamela Mountbatten's feelings for her from changing, so there is the current scene.
After a while, Pamela Mountbatten came over half worried and half happy. Alan Wilson hurriedly stepped forward when he saw it, and said with concern, "What's wrong? Pamela?"
"It's nothing good." Pamela Mountbatten breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I just said some comforting words, but they are quite reasonable."
"Oh, then I'll give you some incense money." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a look of fear, "Scare me."
Carrying Pamela Mountbatten on his back, he gave the temple elder a brand new [-] rupees. The two came out of the temple, and as they walked, Pamela Mountbatten suddenly asked, "Are you popular with women?"
"Where does this start? If you mean you, I think I'm quite popular." Alan Wilson immediately fell into narcissism, and seemed quite complacent about it.
"I'm talking about someone else." Pamela Mountbatten said halfway, and swallowed Hua back.The Hindu elders of the temple said that the man beside her would definitely be popular with women.
"Ah? If what he said is accurate, I want to go back and ask if I can dig a treasure." Alan Wilson changed the topic knowingly, "If one day I dig a treasure, I will think what he said Very accurate."
"What a money fanatic." Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes, and the haze in her heart was reduced a lot.
"You are my greatest treasure." Alan Wilson comforted the affected Pamela Mountbatten. How difficult is the treasure?Hawkson's treasure is still waiting for him to dig, not only to dig but also to take Pamela to dig together to share this joy.
Chapter 314 Welcome to the Former Prime Minister
"It's true that you are a money fan." Pamela Mountbatten's haze disappeared, and she began to regain her cheerful look. "Can such an important thing as feelings be measured by money?"
Pamela's mother, Edwina, was Jewish, and her maternal grandfather was Sir Kessel. After some hard work, he opened the way to great wealth.As a private banker and financial advisor to the future King Edward VII, he placed himself deep within the highest circles of British high society.He was one of the richest men in Europe at the time.
While things are going well with friends and business, Kessel's most beloved relatives are having terrible luck.His beloved wife died of illness after giving birth to his only daughter, and Kessel was devastated.
Edwina lived in no fixed place when she was a child.Kessel is a very successful businessman, wherever there are new markets, he will go there. From Ireland to Africa, Edwina has traveled to many places with her grandfather.
Later, he settled down and lived in Brook Manor with his grandfather. Brook Manor could be regarded as the most magnificent mansion in London at that time, and it was a symbol of Kessel's wealth.
Kessel's trend left Edwina with a property of 500 million pounds, as well as annual income from the property.It can't be compared with those top consortiums in the United States, but it also keeps Pamela from worrying about money.
"Oh, Pamela, you know I'm a poor boy, so I value money too much." Alan Wilson immediately changed his angle after missing a hit, "You're right, money cannot be compared with feelings."
Even though there are so many treasures, Hawkson's treasure should still be dug. Today he successfully planted a seed in Pamela's heart. Even if there is a problem in the future, it can overthrow the arrangement of fate.
What's more, it may not be necessary at all, and it would not be better to let the wife live in happiness for the rest of her life.
After leaving the temple, Alan Wilson took Pamela Mountbatten to the school he studied in New Delhi during the war, and continued to cultivate feelings, implementing the strategic policy of grasping both hands and being tough with both hands.
It is necessary to cultivate feelings and shirk responsibility. This is all for the sake of marriage, and it is not despicable or not.
The curriculum of the Delhi school is similar to that of ordinary local schools. Of course, there are various sports activities in the school, but Pamela does not participate much, and even if she participates, she behaves normally.The most exciting part of the week was the paycheck—a shilling pocket money.
The students flocked to the candy store after taking a shilling.A shilling is not as useless as it sounds, three shillings will buy a whole sack of sugar.
Pamela also attended balls, but they were all girls, and it was always a pleasure for Pamela to go home, because it meant that her father ended his vacation in Ceylon and began to fulfill the ASEAN Now that she is the commander of the army, she can meet her father.
Listening to Pamela Mountbatten full of feelings, Alan Wilson is time to show his performance, "If you are not in the subcontinent, we will not meet at all. Of course I can't hope that the world war will break out out of kindness, but it must be said that because of the world war , I got a copy of my love."
"Actually, my father wanted me to continue my studies in China." Pamela Mountbatten said, looking at Alan Wilson, "But I still insisted on coming to India."
"I simply don't know what to say." Alan Wilson was moved, and at the same time asked curiously, "What school do I want you to go to?"
"Cambridge! Cambridge University respects wisdom and knowledge, and my father also studied in Cambridge." Pamela Mountbatten said.
Cambridge?A trace of suspicion flashed in Alan Wilson's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. The things between the schools could not affect the relationship between him and Pamela now.
Students from prestigious British universities are very concerned about politics.Delhi has no interest in politics, and cares about the affairs of the subcontinent, which will not hinder Britain.
"Oh, by the way, you let me get to know Turing, I have met him." Pamela Mountbatten said as if remembering something, "Help him build a laboratory, I talked to him about this issue, he I heard that I know you, and we get along pretty well."
"Turing is a talent, we must pay attention to it." Alan Wilson pretended to be generous. In the final analysis, Turing likes men, and there is no danger for him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Pamela Mountbatten to meet any male friends in Allen Wilson.
On the other hand, according to the important itinerary arranged by the Governor's Palace, Mountbatten will pay attention to the issue of the Rohingya people.However, this itinerary was destined to be postponed, because Mr. Churchill arrived in New Delhi at the end of January, and his plane landed at New Delhi Airport.
It is not the first time that Alan Wilson has seen a similar scene. When he was in Berlin, Germany, Churchill attended the Potsdam Conference.
At this time and at that time, the civil servants of British India are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the great former prime minister in New Delhi to prevent the governor's willful behavior, so just as the door of the plane opened, Churchill was startled, the red carpet was laid out, and the roar The gun salute was fired, and the British Indian civil servants below were full of admiration...
Absolutely yes, and as Prime Minister of the wartime British Empire, Churchill was no stranger to that reverent gaze.
The glorious era is back, respectable backbench MPs, the great former Prime Minister stepped off the military plane with majesty, head held high and chest out surrounded by such longing eyes. As the governor, Mountbatten also came to the airport to welcome Churchill .
The two have known each other for a long time. Mountbatten was already an active-duty officer of the Navy when he was in college. With factors that cannot be said directly, he debated on behalf of Cambridge University and Oxford University. Oxford University, known as the cradle of prime ministers, has no chance of winning.
Although Mountbatten's legs were still a little trembling when he spoke in a formal occasion, his strong will and quick response were his two advantages.Now that he has decided to participate, Mountbatten has come up with a flexible mind. According to the rules, the advocate can invite an outside supporter.
Mountbatten thought of Churchill.A phone call was made to Churchill, who at this time was Secretary of Defense in Lloyd George's postwar coalition government.Mountbatten thought that Churchill's name alone would shock the Oxford guys.Churchill readily agreed and helped Mountbatten win.
"I didn't expect to trouble you to come here in person for the British India." Mountbatten held Councilor Churchill's hand with an apologetic look, "I'm really sorry."
"It's nothing, for the benefit of the British Empire, I can do anything." Churchill said angrily, not changing his previous strength, and he was not at all embarrassed to call for a leak investigation before he came.
As soon as the words fell, the civil servants around applauded, as if they had found the backbone at the moment the great former prime minister arrived. In fact, this is exactly the case. The Governor-General of British India has to pay for the great former prime minister to New Delhi. up.
It is no exaggeration to look forward to Churchill as we look forward to the stars and the moon.This kind of cheer was extremely pleasant to the ears of Churchill, who was no longer the prime minister.
Few people can clearly pinpoint a moment that will determine his fate and future.For most people, the future is slowly shaped by a combination of hobbies, talents, and circumstances.
For Sir Baron and Alan Wilson, to defeat Gandhi, who is harmless on the surface and conspires behind his back, and ultimately make him fight in vain, a figure with stronger prestige must be needed.
There is no doubt that the great former Prime Minister was such a man, leading the British Empire to victory in the World War.Certainly better than a Gandhi who was famous for his hunger strikes.
After seeing the governor and Churchill shaking hands, many senior civil servants rushed forward, just like ordinary ordinary people who had been wronged saw the Lord Qingtian, and their faces were full of expressions that you can come.
Churchill also felt this. Since he was defeated in the duel with Attlee, he has not experienced such a feeling of being supported for a long time. The people chose Attlee, a mediocre person.
But now it seems that he is still widely loved throughout the British Empire, and the excitement of everyone in front of him is the best proof.
