British civil servant

But this is the way the world is, India can’t do it, but the British Empire can do it well...

Conflicts such as wars and turmoil are the basic manifestations of the current international community. Although peace and development are still recognized by all countries, when a major crisis occurs, all countries still put their own security and interests first, so that Due to various reasons, the entire international community has closed part of its sense of fairness to both external and internal speech.

Indians also know that family ugliness should not be publicized, but at the crossroads where British India is destined to be independent, Alan Wilson feels that there is nothing wrong with being transparent. What is wrong with maintaining transparency?

Nehru and Patel have their own fans, and there are not a few supporters. In fact, you can see with your own eyes just by walking around. The best venue for this kind of key administration.

Thanks to Gandhi's mediation, Patel and Nehru's supporters are still stable in political rallies, but how can such an occasion be 10% sure?Such a large rally, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people participating, is quite normal for something to happen.

This political rally originated in Mumbai is no longer strictly prohibited in what is now British India.The local colonial establishment turned a blind eye to this.

While no one knows when the conflict started, a group of Patel supporters embarked on their own supernatural journey, holding machetes and chanting Patel's name Sardar, a pun meaning leader, at the rally A bloody massacre was carried out against the enemy, that is, Nehru's supporters.

There was a sudden massacre, and the unarmed Nehru supporters became victims of the knife, and the whole block became a shura field, but for the large number of people who participated in the rally, this little confusion was really not a problem.

When the vast majority of people who participated in the rally discovered this, greater chaos occurred. The crowd pushed and trampled each other, coupled with the fanatical atmosphere, resulting in huge chaos.

By this time the colonial government in Bombay, knowing the supporters of Nehru and Patel, had caused the conflict.Only then hastily assumed the responsibility of the government and went to the place where the incident happened to quell the incident.

The conflict between two candidate supporters in Mumbai, and the resulting tragedy, spread to New Delhi immediately.

"Mr. Nehru, it seems that we still can't reach an agreement on the distribution of Nepalese soldiers." Alan Wilson shook his head indifferently, "With all due respect, the Nepalese battalion, like the Indian troops, is an armed force of the British Empire , In the future, when India becomes independent, why should the Nepalese be owned by India? Is there any reason for this?”

In [-], the British army had its first combat battalion composed of Gurkhas.Since then, the tradition of Gurkhas serving in the British Army has continued to this day.

During World War II, there were 20 Gurkhas who fought for the British Empire. Of course, there were not so many after the war.However, there are more than 20 combat battalions. Does Britain need these mercenaries now?

Of course it is needed. London has asked British India to try its best to send these mercenaries to Malaya to prevent the Netherlands in the East Indies from posing a threat to Malaya if they can't hold on.

In fact, what Alan Wilson is doing now is the Kathmandu Agreement in history, but it is impossible for him to go to Nepal, so the Rana delegation, which has just left for a short time, has returned.

In fact, Alan Wilson is not familiar with the Nepalese mercenaries at all, nor does he know the role of these people.He fought here only because London let him fight.

The place where I am most familiar with the history of Nepalese mercenaries is that Fukang'an crossed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau once and fought with this mountainous country once. Of course, due to the logistical problems that exist in the 21st century, that war was just closed as soon as it was good. .

I don't even know how many times Alan Wilson argued with Nehru or Patel.He is now somewhat accustomed to arguing with different Congress leaders in different fields.

During the sensitive period of the handover of power, Nehru and Patel must be present at any time. After all, there is still a position of Deputy Prime Minister of British India in London, and two people are being caught.

At this moment, the commissioner's secretary, Edel, came in with a telegram, "Assistant Allen, Sir Barron asked me to give you this telegram, and you decide whether to hand it over to Mr. Nehru."

As soon as Nehru heard that it was related to him, he looked at it with concern. Is it the appointment letter of the Deputy Prime Minister of British India?

"Dear Mr. Nehru, you really need to know about this matter." Alan Wilson forwarded the telegram to Nehru with a sad look and an ignorant tone. The number of casualties caused.

"Such a thing happened?" Nehru looked sad, even he himself didn't realize it, and there was a hint of disappointment when he spoke.

Wasn't it the letter of appointment for the Deputy Prime Minister of British India?Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup on his own, and took the time to glance at the hanging clock to see if it was time to get off work.

Immediately Nehru left, and Alan Wilson came out to say goodbye, saying, I hope Nehru will consider the position of the British Empire and reach a win-win agreement on the issue of Nepalese mercenaries.

As for the Mumbai tragedy, this is the internal affairs of the Indians, and as a British colonial government, it is inconvenient for him to interfere.I believe the Congress Party will handle this issue well.

The occurrence of the Mumbai tragedy marked that under the premise that the British left the subcontinent, an undercurrent of receiving the British Empire's heritage had begun to surge, and everyone believed that they should be the beneficiaries.If you are not qualified to be that beneficiary, try to support someone who has that ability and wait for the cake to be distributed.

"The incident in Mumbai is really shocking." Edel was still sighing. "More than 400 people were hacked to death, and thousands of people were killed or injured because of the stampede. It's too shocking."

Alan Wilson squinted at Edel, thinking that there was nothing shocking about it, but it was just a group of Nepalese dressed up as Sikhs and killing people at the rally.

If there is no accident, these platoons of Nepalese mercenaries who came back from Malaya urgently should have left British India by now, and will appear on the Malaya death list in a short time.

The families of these fallen soldiers will receive a pension that is absolutely expensive in the subcontinent.Isn't this a good thing?Do Nepalese naturally like to be soldiers?Is it not for money?

The occurrence of the Mumbai tragedy temporarily kept Nehru and Patel busy, as did Gandhi.Supporters of Nehru and Patel were also furious, accusing each other, and at the same time wanted to bring the murderer to justice.

The last thought was very normal. Alan Wilson was in a hurry, and he had fulfilled their wish and brought the murderer to justice.

Gandhi came forward to mediate the conflict between the two giants in the party again, pointing out that at this time, he should not show his desire to fight for power and profit.This will only make the pursuit of independence a joke.

These words were immediately refuted by the resident writers of The Hindu newspaper, who believed that this was a bloody case created by some peace believers pretending to be Hindus, and wanted to profit from it.And definitely not what Patel supporters intended.

In British India, indecision is the religion of peace, especially for Patel's supporters, this is what they believe most, and the writer of the Hindu newspaper is the widely respected Mr. Singh, Discovered the precious wealth of Indian history, and found out many valuable features of Indian civilization, including but not limited to ancient nuclear wars...

Isinger found the peace believers as targets for Patel's conservatives and avoided the internal split of the Congress Party. He felt that as a colonial official of the suzerain country, his father was nothing more than that.

So Alan Wilson used another pseudonym, Jipal, to criticize Singh's remarks, and said in a mocking tone, "Gandhi expressed his wish to hand over the future of British India to Ali in the internal meeting of the Congress Party. Jinnah. Let the Muslim League rule us..."

When this news appeared in the newspapers, it immediately caused an uproar across the country. None of the Hindus thought that the leader they respected so much would even have the idea of ​​betraying the interests of Hinduism.

For a while, the verbal criticism of Gandhi and the supporters who supported Gandhi overshadowed Nehru, Patel and the Mumbai tragedy.

The leaders of the Congress Party who participated in the meeting that day were recalling who looked suspicious that day. There is no doubt that "a traitor appeared among us."

This is a carnival for key politicians. The world is in chaos and the situation is good. Nehru, Patel, Gandhi, Ali Jinnah, and the top traffic in the subcontinent are all there today, and public opinion has become a pot of porridge.

Chapter 342 The Chief of the New Civil Servant

For the time being, the Congress Party will not disturb the peace of the Governor's Mansion during this time. Governor Mountbatten enjoyed a moment of peace and asked Alan Wilson and Sir Barron what they think of this matter.

Sit and watch!Both Sir Barron and Allen Wilson answered in their hearts. Prime Minister Sir Barron said, "It's better not to make a statement at the Governor's Office at such a sensitive moment. After all, this is India's own business. If we get involved , According to past lessons, the rebound force brought about by this kind of intervention will eventually be fed back to ourselves.”

Alan Wilson's role is much simpler, with a look of admiration, if he still needs to speak, he can only stick out his thumb, "Tall, it's really tall."

"The matter of British India has been dealt with, and the next step is Myanmar. At present, there is not much progress left. It is nothing more than the issue of international trade settlement of the pound." Alan Wilson flipped through the conditions sent by London, and the problem still to be resolved Of course there are many more, the most important of which is the issue of the pound.

As long as the issue of the pound is resolved, the remaining issues are actually not that important. The opinion of the Governor's Office is that the positioning of the state is exchanged for India's commitment to the pound to settle international trade after independence.

This matter is the most important thing in London. If there is an oil currency in this era, it is actually not the turn of the dollar.Most of the oil in the Middle East is still in the hands of the United Kingdom. There is no petrodollar, only petrosterling.

But is it?The United States has nuclear bombs, but the United Kingdom does not currently have them. Even if they occupy the position first, they will not be able to maintain their national strength.

At this time, the United States certainly would not have thought of petrodollar operations, not only because the Breston Woods system itself is relatively beneficial to the United States, but also because the United States is an oil exporter.

In the process of the transformation of US dollars into petrodollars, the landmark event was the first oil crisis.Starting from de Gaulle's return of gold, in the 70s and [-]s, the international financial market sold a large number of dollars and snapped up gold and other hard currencies, which caused the international credit of the dollar to shake.

The main reasons for the US dollar crisis are: the weakening of the US's external economic strength, the deficit in the balance of payments year after year, the loss of a large amount of gold reserves, and the lack of external credit guarantee for the US dollar.

In order to resolve the selling frenzy led by Britain, France and Germany, before the first oil crisis, the London-New York financial group no longer used the dollar as the currency standard, the United States abolished the gold standard, the Bretton Woods system began to collapse, and countries implemented floating exchange rate systems one after another.

In order to solve the US dollar dilemma, Dr. Kissinger proposed the "recycling of petrodollars" plan. The essence is to launch a huge blow to world industrial growth and shift the balance of power back to the US financial interest groups and the US dollar.

Of course, any adjustment requires a price, and the already strong oil industry in the United States is in the range of being sacrificed.

In the 70s, the United States began to implement an oil export ban to prevent domestic oil from entering the international market to interfere with prices, and to protect the interests of oil-producing countries in the Middle East after the oil crisis.

Until King Wang abolished the ban, the United States controlled domestic oil, either not to exploit it, or to control access to the international market, in order to bind the oil-producing countries in the Middle East.

At present, the Breston Forest system is still impregnable, and the United States cannot afford to make adjustments.For at least 20 years, the Breston Forest system will still work. As for 20 years later, it depends on how much power the United Kingdom has left. If the colonies are completely lost, the British pound currently in the Middle East will still be replaced by the US dollar.

As long as the national strength and military strength are not enough, it is inevitable that the pound will be wiped out by the dollar in the end. After much deliberation, Alan Wilson still thinks that the nuclear bomb is more important, and the Royal Navy is still a powerful force on the earth. A few successes left.

If it is still the end of a few broken ships, Britain will still be unable to avoid the end of being a follower.This kind of thing is like this. Anyway, Alan Wilson believes that whoever has it is not as good as himself. If he can have the right to be independent, who is willing to be a slave?

Blood is thicker than water between the United Kingdom and the United States, and even a British person does not want the country to become a subsidiary of the United States, and vice versa is best.

In the afternoon, Alan Wilson received a telegram from Hyderabad. The plain white telegram was put away, and he went back to read it after get off work. Vivien Leigh had dealt with the marriage change, and now he was in the United States.

From the telegram, Alan Wilson can feel the sincere miss. Vivien Leigh said in the telegram that she is promoting the film shot in British India with the members of the girlfriends group. The daughter of India is very busy every day.

Allen Wilson almost forgot that he also helped accumulate materials to enhance India's international influence.If there is political interference in art in Hollywood, this documentary will definitely win an award, but it is hard to estimate what award it will win.

He felt that it would be best to release the documentary after the independence of British India, so as not to interfere with the current work of British India.

Regarding the rumors of the marriage change, Vivien Leigh said that she and Mr. Oliver had dissolved their marriage. Although there were occasional twists and turns, it was still a peaceful breakup. The rest of the time Vivien Leigh would devote herself to the affirmative action movement and charity.Of course, she did not give up on her film career.

In the end, he said that he is in a state of confusion in his life, and he very much hopes to get the guidance of Alan Wilson.

When seeing this, Alan Wilson couldn't control his fiery heart, and immediately directed for the Great British Treasure.It's a pity that the matter of British India is not over yet, so I can only express in my reply that British India cannot leave Ai Zhongtang's teachings for a day, which involves the future of hundreds of millions of people, and it is really impossible to leave now.

The Governor's Mansion is calm as usual, while the Congress Party is still in the midst of reconciliation and separation, understanding and quarrels.There are several important leaders of the Congress Party and Ali Jinnah who are in a mess.

But Gandhi is undoubtedly at the center of the storm. Alan Wilson has a small wish, hoping to see the saint ascend to heaven before leaving British India. I don't know if this small wish can be realized.

Late at night, Gandhi sat on a straw mat and lamented to his niece Manu: "Now I am alone. Even Nehru thinks I am wrong. They think that once the partition of India is over, peace can be restored. It seems, as the years go by, I get a little confused. They may have a point, and I'm fighting in the dark."

Manu looked at Gandhi and said: "Don't think so much. Others have abandoned you, and I am still here. You have snatched me from the hand of death. I will not leave you, even though all your followers have left you .”

Gandhi let out a long hiss, "I may return to the west soon, and I will not experience this disaster personally, but if the suffering I worry about comes to India and endangers India's independence, then future generations should know that an old man at the end of his life, every time Thinking of these misfortunes, how sad and sad he felt."

Alan Wilson didn't know that Gandhi still had such a request. If he knew, he believed that the saint's wish would definitely move God, but he didn't dare to get rid of the saint, but he could create some opportunities to shock those who wanted to It is convenient for the people of the world.

Religious conflicts are the big brother, not to mention the second brother. He believes that the news that Gandhi proposed to allow Ali Jinnah to manage an independent India will definitely arouse hostility from many people.

At this time in London, there were also very important changes for the civil servants of the British Empire. Edward Bridges officially stepped down from the position of cabinet secretary, and the head of the civil servants of the British Empire became Norman Brooke.

In fact, as early as the end of World War II, Norman Brooke was already a powerful figure in the Whitehall civil servants.This time Edward Bridges actually did not fully retire, but became the head of the civil servants in name, but he did not have such great power as a civil servant. In fact, Alan Wilson was very familiar with this operation, and Maple was a duo.

Edward Bridges was merely stepping down from his position as Cabinet Secretary, long before his actual retirement.

However, Alan Wilson was not familiar with the new cabinet secretary, so he asked Sir Barron for advice.

"It's no different. For us officials, we can't say that stability is more important than anything else, but it is definitely more stable than politicians who come and go. Sir Norman has also worked in Whitehall for a long time. The time spent in contact with Sir Edward is very long. long."

Sir Barron thought for a while and replied, "It's hard to say what will be different. Except for Sir Norman's closeness to politicians, there should be no changes in the rest."

While the two were discussing the high-level changes in London, Norman Brooke's first telegram as the cabinet secretary was sent in by Edel, the commissioner's secretary. Sir Barron took the telegram and read it, and at the same time said to Alan Wilson, "The candidate for the deputy prime minister of British India is basically determined to be Nehru. It will be officially announced in a few days!"

"Look at it, I said that there is no change, it is nothing more than a change in the position before and after the signatures of the two."

The telegram was sent jointly by Norman Brooke and Edward Bridges, with Norman Brooke's name on the front and Edward Bridges' on the back.

Alan Wilson took the telegram, looked at the content, and said, "Before the official appointment, should we take the initiative to contact Nehru and sell Nehru a favor."

"Is it as if we are contributing to his appointment as the Deputy Prime Minister of British India?" Sir Barron suppressed a smile. "He knows our British politics very well."

"Because of understanding!" Allen Wilson said calmly, "We pretended to have contributed to this matter, and there is no loss in claiming so."

Chapter 343 What is a Prime Minister of a Great Power

"He even wants to thank us." Alan Wilson said very proudly. As for why Nehru was chosen instead of Patel, it is enough to explain to Patel that the Labor Party is now in power instead of the Conservative Party.

You can't say it dead, maybe there will be a time when you need Patel's help.Saying that the appointment is that the Labor Party is optimistic about Nehru, and if the Conservative Party is in power, the Deputy Prime Minister of British India is Patel. This may make Patel feel more comfortable.

In fact, even within the Congress Party, because of Gandhi's preference for Nehru's relationship, and Nehru's age advantage is too obvious, it is difficult for Patel to defeat the young and vigorous Nehru.

Putting the onus on the Labor Party helps Patel's supporters get the wrong idea.That is, Nehru was appointed by the British, and Patel failed only because Nehru was valued by the British.

In this way, under the influence of this illusion, the conservatives of the Congress Party will not be so convinced of Nehru in their hearts.

It helps to unite the morale of the conservatives. Even if Patel is old, if he dies young as in history, the conservatives will not fall apart for a while.

In the final analysis, from the perspective of the British Empire, India after independence is better off, which is good for everyone.

Let Nehru use the next time to complete the integration of India, and then complete the task and die.

Before London officially announced the candidate for the Deputy Prime Minister of British India, Alan Wilson was in a hurry to make a final assault.

Pedro, the representative of the Portuguese Governor's Office, officially signed the secret agreement on Goa. In fact, it should have been signed long ago. It is just waiting for Goa to lay a solid foundation and complete the construction of the Peace Church residential area around Goa.

Although Alan Wilson has not been in contact with the Portuguese recently, he also helped with some key policy guidance.Just like the three countries of Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal in the north, the most important thing is to establish a passable identity system.

You must know that the most important thing in the subcontinent is people. If the Indians want to play infiltration, it will be difficult for the surrounding countries to bear it.

Identity systems should be in place sooner rather than later.As long as the Partition of India and Pakistan begins, the peace believers around Goa will naturally become a barrier to keep India's sneaky population infiltration out.

After the secret agreement was signed, Alan Wilson looked at Pedro and said, "Mr. Pedro, it would be better to announce the entire content of the secret agreement after the end of British India. This will be considered as fulfilling our friendship!"

"It will help you British to shirk responsibility." Pedro understood, and then frowned, "But we are going to start the replacement of territories. This kind of action cannot be hidden from the Congress Party."

"It's fine if you don't mention how much land will be replaced." Alan Wilson reminded, "Article [-] of the secret agreement states that the Goa port will serve as a joint British-Portuguese naval base. We must keep our promise when the time comes."

"Of course, Portugal and the British Empire have been allies for hundreds of years. We defeated Spain together." Pedro said solemnly, "The Royal Navy will always have the right to use the naval base in Goa."

"Then thank Portugal." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, "The territory replacement can begin now. It is time to announce before London announces who is the Deputy Prime Minister of British India."

On August 27, the Government of Goa, Portugal announced that the Christians who migrated to Dadra-Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu will live in Goa, and the migration will begin immediately.

At this time, the industrious assistant to the British Indian Commissioner was busy working on the next thing non-stop. He talked with representatives of the Tata Group and the Birla family after fundraising for the second time. The Bora family who did not come.

The leader of the Bora family also came this time. Gonzaya Taz Bora started his apprenticeship in the family business at the age of 13 and was able to take charge of his own business at the age of 16.After inheriting the family business in [-], he started to enter the industry and established his own position in key industries such as aluminum, cement and chemical industries, becoming the founder of the Birla Group.

The last time Gonzaya Bola did not come because the Bola family has a very close relationship with the Congress Party.The first call to the Governor General of British India, Gonzaya Birla took a wait-and-see approach for political reasons.

But when both the Tatas and Birla's started fundraising, Gonzaya Birla couldn't sit still.If the British are determined to hand over part of the industry to two named families, once the two families absorb the industry, they will shake off the Borah family in terms of strength.

For the arrival of Gonzaya Bola, Allen Wilson was not surprised, and at the same time, he did not mean to be unwelcome.

He also knows that recent Indian private usury has been rampant, and these native Indian elites will do everything they can to fill the vacancy left by Britain and seize a favorable position.

The problem of private usury in India has always been very serious. This can be seen from Modi's demonetization order. The old man started the demonetization order in the name of combating black money and money laundering. The Indian usury business is so prosperous in the 21st century, not to mention is now.

However, this has nothing to do with him. It is not suitable for Britain to interfere in the internal affairs of Indians at this time. As for the Indians who are trapped by usury, can they use Xi'er to pay off the debt if they don't pay the money? Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?

What's the problem with this? It's very in line with India's national conditions. Selling your daughter can also solve your own debt problem.
