British civil servant

Of course, Attlee's announcement that a welfare society has been established is also under discussion, which can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to the theory of maintaining the status quo.

This kind of work is no stranger to Alan Wilson. He was very familiar with this kind of work when he was working in British India. Finnish populations are left and right.

Of course, this is still far from enough. After Mountbatten returned to China, Pamela Mountbatten also successfully returned with a full load, and has already sent a telegram, saying that she would take time to see her fiancé.

Of course, Alan Wilson expressed his miss in the telegram, but he also complained in a timely manner, saying that he did not want to end his first overseas work as the last chief executive of Newfoundland like the father of his fiancée .

Alan Wilson's tone in the telegram was very aggrieved, as if he had been persecuted by Whitehall.

"Where can I help you?" After receiving a telegram from Pamela Mountbatten again, Alan Wilson knew it was time for a true confession.

"If at an appropriate time, our distinguished Crown Prince and his wife can come to Newfoundland, it may cause a very warm response to the local residents. At that time, the residents of Newfoundland, whose economy has been revitalized, will still feel the Crown Prince and his wife. attention, then in the referendum, it is very likely that there will be a result that is biased towards the referendum.”

A day later, Pamela Mountbatten’s telegram arrived at St. John’s again, which said, “I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Elizabeth. The exploration company has shares in the crown prince, and she should not refuse me. "

Chapter 429 I'm Very Sad

"Why do you feel a bit of a loss?" Alan Wilson knew that the exploration company had a share of the crown prince, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. That would be the share of the world's largest iron mine in the future.Is this just a share for the royal family?

However, this can also ensure political security and stop the decline of the British aristocracy, which was what he wanted to do before.

From this point of view, one should not be too petty. Making money is of course important, but ensuring the inheritance is even more important.At least until the 21st century, it seems that Britain has not interfered with the royal family's business.

The aristocratic class said that it was strong and powerful, and one-third of the land in the British mainland belonged to the aristocratic class.However, the inheritance tax of 40.00% will definitely bankrupt many aristocratic families that rely on local financial resources in the next few decades.

From Pamela Mountbatten's telegram, Alan Wilson learned that many domestic hereditary nobles already knew about Newfoundland, which is why Pamela Mountbatten felt that it was not a problem, even from the perspective of hereditary nobles. Considering that the families would also be in favor of the Crown Prince's trip to Newfoundland.

Alan Wilson wants to use the prestige of the crown prince to keep Newfoundland, which of course requires an outside move.

Similarly, the hereditary nobles in London also think so. Newfoundland is in a special environment. They also want to use this kind of outside trick to avoid high inheritance tax, which requires the support of the royal family.

In the next few telegrams, Pamela Mountbatten and Alan Wilson discussed how to proceed with the persuasion work.

How to communicate with the aristocratic class, Alan Wilson has nothing to teach, and Pamela Mountbatten, as the daughter of General Mountbatten, is far more professional than him.

"But I have a saying, the royal family is the royal family of the British Empire, and the political party is just the party that is in power locally. For local citizens, the influence of political parties is self-evident, but for people in many places, Who knows who the leaders of the Labor Party and the Conservative Party are? They have their own political parties! But the royal family is different, our crown prince is far more influential than Prime Minister Attlee and MP Churchill in many places."

Pamela Mountbatten received the telegram, she already understood how to say this, and telling the truth is the best way.

The royal family is of course powerful, and having power without power is not the same thing as having no power.

The Prime Minister and his responsible Cabinet are merely a committee of the Privy Council, coordinating Her Majesty's army, civil service, diplomats and secret intelligence agencies, for which the Queen has the highest priority.The queen has the right to appoint or dismiss the prime minister and cabinet members at will, declare war, make peace, command the army, sign treaties, etc.

Since the Magna Carta, the king has made more and more compromises at the legislative and judicial levels, but no law has ever directly deprived the king of the country's administrative and violent machinery.

"Elizabeth, our life is getting more and more difficult." Pamela Mountbatten, relying on her father Mountbatten's relationship, found the standby king of the future generations. At this time, Crown Prince Elizabeth, who is still in his prime, "I and many friends think that, The aristocracy is dying slowly and the current political environment is suffocating."

"Pamela, you know that according to unwritten rules, father cannot directly interfere with the government." Crown Prince Elizabeth pondered for a while and said, "It's not that no one tried to shake the inheritance tax, but they all failed."

"Now there is a place that can be avoided." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, saying that she did not ask the royal family to abolish the inheritance tax, "My fiancé is now the chief executive of Newfoundland, and Newfoundland is in a colonial state. Since taking office, the chief has worked hard and achieved great results."

"Oh?" Crown Prince Elizabeth looked puzzled and asked, "Could there be a turning point for this matter?"

"As long as the crown prince goes to Newfoundland before the referendum in the form of condolences, this matter is very sure." Pamela Mountbatten whispered, "This will be of great help to many families , current supporters include but are not limited to the Dukes of Somerset, Richmond, Bedford, Devonshire, Marlborough, Rutland, Manchester, Northumberland, The Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Portsmouth, the Earl of Carnarvon..."

"Huh? It's all the family you borrowed money for exploration." Crown Prince Elizabeth chuckled lightly, "Is your exploration effective? Don't be in debt by then. Although your mother is rich, it is not good to be in debt. of."

"Even if I can't find it, my fiancé will pay it back for me." Pamela Mountbatten said with some embarrassment when she heard the debt collection from the Crown Prince, "If this matter is done, it will be too late for them to thank me. "

"That's true!" Crown Prince Elizabeth nodded in agreement, "The inheritance tax has been going on, and it will indeed hurt everyone a lot."

"Alan said that the inheritance tax has always existed, and the aristocratic class will only continue to transfer wealth out of the country." Pamela Mountbatten said helplessly, "This is for sure, no one will wait obediently, once the wealth is transferred If it continues, the local economy will eventually be affected."

This is not Alan Wilson trying to scare his fiancée. Since the end of World War II, Britain has been the world's largest investor for a long time. If the British economy is particularly good, that's all. I have done research on the largest investor countries for decades.

"Well, before the referendum in Newfoundland, I will go with Philip and take the battleship Advance to give condolences." Crown Prince Elizabeth finally agreed, "It's just a normal condolence, right, I believe there will be no objections .”

"Shall I come over to see you?" Alan Wilson, who received the telegram from his fiancée, of course welcomed the contents of the telegram. In the reply, he said that he also missed his fiancée very much. He felt that he was about to become A fish is gone.

This telegram accompanied Pamela Mountbatten to sleep, and she couldn't wait to go to Newfoundland to accompany her fiancé.

Alan Wilson has even started hunting. It is completely impossible for a person who loves politics so much to be able to hunt. But that is all there is to do in Newfoundland. How can he not find some leisure activities to pass the time? ?But this requires a local hunter to guide.

Alan Wilson rode a good horse, kept close to the hunter, and from time to time told his companions with a loud gunshot that he knew another native animal.Alan Wilson was completely immersed in his own thoughts, letting the horse carry him forward.He was thinking about the future of this expedition. It was too difficult to be a magistrate in such a wild place.

And the hunter Mathis, sometimes riding a horse, sometimes sitting in a car, always looking at the natural landscape on the side of the road, rarely speaking, most of the time he is walking, or shutting himself in the car, deeply immersed in your own imagination.

"Mr. Allen, hunting is a good way to pass the time." Mattis looked at Allen Wilson and used words to guide the young man from time to time to get used to life in Newfoundland.

"Thank you!" Alan Wilson apologized, but of course he didn't agree. He couldn't waste time in this era. The world is so big that he wanted to wander around.

He really wanted to find something to do, but the things in Newfoundland were indeed too few compared with British India.He can't do the work of the neighborhood committee as a chief executive, such as mediating residents' family conflicts, right?

After finishing today's schedule, Alan Wilson arrived at the local town. The middle of the town is a public square.Outside a circle of four-wheeled carts, the drivers graze horses and cattle, and drive them into the circle at night.

Alan Wilson shared his prey as usual. In fact, most of them are Savievic’s prey. The hunting skills trained in Africa are incomparable to a novice, but this Croatian is very good at life , shared with the townspeople in the name of Alan Wilson.

Back in the town, Alan Wilson went directly to the telegraph room to see if there was anything interesting to do, and he could find something to do for him. After a while, Alan Wilson came out with a beam of joy, holding a telegram of Pakistani armed forces attacking Kashmir, He said happily in front of Savievic, "Something finally happened. This is the second good news since Gandhi was assassinated."

Because the Maharaja of Kashmir's idea of ​​waiting for change failed, and because he was dissatisfied with Maharaja Singh's pro-India stance, the peace believers in Kashmir launched an armed uprising.Singh sent troops to suppress, but the situation quickly spiraled out of control.The uprising also turned into a vendetta between peace believers and Hindus.The outbreak of this conflict provided an excellent reason for Pakistan to enter Kashmir.

An army composed of regular Pakistani army and tribal militia invaded Kashmir under the banner of liberation.They called themselves the "Kashmir Liberation Army", and the road was in full swing. Maharaja Ali Singh had already fled.

That's all for the content on the telegram, but Alan Wilson doesn't even have to think about it, Ali Singh must have gone to India.Will India send troops to snatch it?Isn't that obvious? The India-Pakistan war has actually broken out.

As a non-staff minister of Hyderabad, Alan Wilson was afraid that he would urgently need to contact Maharaja Ali Khan to inquire about the situation in Hyderabad.

Unlike history, Pakistan, which attacked Kashmir this time, had already prepared for it. After Ali Singh fled, it had already conquered Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir. This time, Pakistan's actions were far more decisive and rapid than in history.

"Uh, Mr. Allen, is this a good thing?" Savievic asked hesitantly.

"Of course it's...well, you know, Savievic, I worked in British India. I have extraordinary feelings for the local area." Alan Wilson reluctantly took back his true thoughts, "I Very sad."

4 Chapter Thirty: A Vibrant Beginning

Sad about the direction of the war, this is the true thought of Alan Wilson. He hopes that India will always be in a low-intensity war, just like the state of the Republic of China when bandits ran around, instead of a high-intensity civil war. .

What if the Indians are beaten a little more normally?You must know that the foundation of British India is much stronger than that of East Asia.It would not be a good thing for Britain if it was awakened even a little bit through a high-intensity war.

So he is very entangled now, hoping that more people will die in this war, but he doesn't want the intensity of the war to be too high.

This constipated expression even made Savievic ask himself, maybe he just misunderstood Alan Wilson. The chief executive of Newfoundland just failed to manage his expression for a while, and it wasn't because he didn't like others.

That's just a joke. Alan Wilson, who has been taught by micro-expression master and silent film queen Greta Garbo, will fail in expression management?This is an insult to Greta Garbo's professionalism, as ridiculous as asking a pregnant woman when she will be pregnant.

Alan Wilson ended his hunting trip and decided to go back to St. Johns. As the capital there, it is more convenient to communicate with the outside world. Although it is unreasonable to use public facilities for private work, he also made a deal with Hyderabad for the benefit of the British Empire. Majesty contacted.

Alan Wilson asked about Hyderabad's current position on the Kashmir issue, and said that India would never allow Kashmir to be annexed by Pakistan. This war has just begun.

For the current situation, Alan Wilson gave an analysis, but did not suggest what to do?Because he has no historical reference, he cannot look at the problem from the perspective of Hyderabad, but the telegram also emphasized that this is an opportunity for Hyderabad.

Because of the conflict in Kashmir, the withdrawal of the British troops stationed in India quietly terminated the evacuation operation. This part of the British troops stationed in India is in Pakistan, claiming to prevent the expansion of local conflicts.

Of course, it’s not just the British who are paying attention to this conflict. Portuguese Goa is also very concerned about whether this conflict will evolve into a real war. Ali Khan, who received a report from Allen Wilson, and then The Portuguese got in touch, exchanging views on the conflict in Kashmir.

In short, because of the Kashmir issue, Pakistan, India, Hyderabad, and Portuguese Goa are all watching the development of the situation. The Hyderabad army has raised its alert and is preparing for a delay.

Europe is in the midst of a wave of reconstruction. Although the United Kingdom stated that after discussing the Coal and Iron Community with France, it will reply to the United States whether to agree to the merger of the occupied areas, but the financial allocation for Germany has already been in place. Germany, like many European countries, has begun post-war reconstruction.

As a representative of German women, Anna replaced the eldest daughter of the Hellmann family in public. After all, Bokina's body is not very convenient, and she is secretly hiding in a safe place, waiting for the angel to come.

Naturally, the business of the Hellman family fell into the hands of the light-looking Anna, and through the Trade Committee of the British Occupied Area, she controlled the important raw material timber needed for Germany's reconstruction.

Anna drove the car around, avoiding some nasty potholes, and bumping along a bumpy asphalt road.They passed small villages of log houses with thatched roofs, with blue stripes painted between the logs.

Many houses have turned gray due to the wind and rain for a long time, are crooked, or are about to collapse.Some houses have no windows, but nearly all have new or freshly painted doors.

In the sunny fields, men and women are working with farm tools, some with horse-drawn plows.The car passed many carts of hand-hewn lumber, drawn by strong, tame horses, and driven by strong, tame women and men, who would have been hard to come by if they had not been marked by turbans and beards. identify their gender.

The car drove all the way into the city without seeing a tractor, a car, or any other machinery.It was a medium-sized city in the Ruhr area, with brick houses and wide streets, and a muddy river ran through it, dividing it in two.

It was a low-slung city, full of ecru buildings, with the air of a backcountry where strangers were not welcome.

The current state of Germany is the current state. The war took away a large number of men, and women have to participate in the reconstruction. Fortunately, the Germanic women are tall and have the reputation of dragoons, so they can shoulder the heavy responsibility of reconstruction.

Anna came out to meet up, because her elder sister, who is most valued by her superiors, is physically inconvenient, and now it is her job to communicate with the country, although she is not willing to complete it.

Finally, Anna, who didn't see anyone but just accidentally threw some garbage, drove away. Naturally, someone would come to collect the garbage and get important news from above.

Alan Wilson in Newfoundland was originally waiting for the arrival of his fiancée, but because of the crossfire in Kashmir, he had to meet Philby again. After all, he used to be the assistant commissioner of British India and knew the situation better.

"There have been domestic discussions about conflicts in our former colonies. At the same time, our American allies are also very concerned about this matter." Philby reappeared straight to the point and asked the leader of the last batch of bureaucrats in British India. What do you think of the current situation in the subcontinent?

"The situation in the subcontinent is very complicated!" Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and said while thinking, "Judging from the current situation, Nehru's face as a socialist has been exposed, and a worrying political tendency has emerged. I believe this is also what the US allies are concerned about, but I personally don’t think India can do anything, I know the subcontinent too well, there is no cohesion as imagined, cohesion only exists in the dreams of Indians.”

There is no need to doubt that Nehru was a socialist. After India became independent, it implemented an import substitution strategy and adopted a state-run economy. In terms of specific practices, it did not exclude the use of certain means of the planned economy.The main purpose of the above-mentioned practices is to form a complete industrial system and quickly realize the modernization of industry.

Even if this is not a complete Soviet line, it is almost a variant of the Bolsheviks in the eyes of the United States.As the country with the strongest paper strength in the world today except Europe and the United States, it is normal to express concern about the situation in India.

"Does the United States want to interfere? If so, I personally agree." Alan Wilson looked at Philby expectantly, hoping to see a positive response from the other party's eyes.

"No!" It was a pity that Philby gave an answer that disappointed Alan Wilson.

It's so disappointing. Alan Wilson thought he would have a chance to avenge the Lend-Lease bill so soon, but the Americans obviously inherited Britain's disgusting diplomatic skills.

Lend-Lease forced the British to beg for this bloody aid!In order to get a chance to fight for Roosevelt, Britain has to be grateful.

Despite the hypocritical talk of leases and loans in this bill, the transfer of arms and supplies from the United States throughout the war was a gift.No official accounts were even kept.Yanks love to haggle.

Lend-Lease was a method of warfare in bargaining.For big corporations, and for millions of workers, it means nothing more than a boom in economic prosperity.The cost was painlessly deferred into the future thanks to the issuance of defense bonds.Others actually fight and die.

Philby nodded, indicating that London was also struggling with the conflict in the former colony, asking about possible situations and providing records.

Didn't I understand when you said that earlier?Alan Wilson nodded to show that he understood, and said directly, "Nehru's hometown is Kashmir, and the number two Patel is a representative of the Hindu conservatives. India should soon make a military response to Pakistan's actions. It might have already started."

"Are you sure?" Philby, who asked, saw Alan Wilson nodding, and sighed, "It seems that someone is bleeding because of this again."

"This is a good thing for us in the UK, Philby." Alan Wilson couldn't help snickering, "Happiness is all about comparison. Doesn't the UK appear to be very happy when other countries are in war?"

Philby stared straight at the lackey of imperialism in front of him, and expressed shame at the other party's gloating behavior.

This can't be blamed for Alan Wilson's disapproval, although the Soviet spy in front of him is a person who has escaped from the vulgar taste.

But the other party's father is a realist. Among those who support Pamela Mountbatten is Philby's father. Who makes him an earl?

During this period of time, I don’t know how many people in the world are discussing the conflict in Kashmir, but obviously India and Pakistan, which are not directly confronted, are more meaningful.

At this moment in New Delhi, at the Supreme Meeting of the Republic of India, Patel is making an impassioned speech, "Ali Singh has escaped from Kashmir and calls on India to take action. For the newborn India, this will be a national struggle. In front of people all over the world, how to change their inherent stereotypes of India and gain a foothold in the world with a new attitude is extremely important to the new India.”

"The Pakistanis must be given a positive response!" A group of cabinet members spoke one after another, supporting the position of the current No. [-] figure in India, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs Patel.

"Jawaharlal, it's time to make a decision." Patel looked at Nehru, waiting for the Prime Minister in front of him to make a statement.

"Accept the request of the Maharaja of Kashmir and prepare to go to war with Pakistan." Nehru was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind. If this is the case, then regard this war as the beginning of a great power.

Chapter 431 Commonwealth Lottery Vision

I am a big Indian with abundant martial arts and per capita Singh. How can a small Newfoundland chief executive guess?

Nehru said a long time ago that India must be a great and impressive country and must not sink, so it is appropriate to use Pakistan as a touchstone.

For thousands of years, the expansion of the Peace Sect in the subcontinent has left an impression of Hindu cowardice on people all over the world. This time, Nehru will wash away this impression and let it become history.

In order to regain the initiative in Kashmir, India later sent the 19st Brigade, Paratrooper Brigade, No.[-] Infantry Brigade and Seventh Tank Brigade to enter Kashmir from the Jammu area to participate in the war.The Indian army deployed its forces in two main combat directions, that is, deployed a division of troops in Kashmir and Jammu.Using the two places as forward bases, the Indian army launched a full-scale attack on the surrounding Pakistani armed forces.

The first India-Pakistan war finally came belatedly, but it still came with firm steps.In the western area of ​​Jammu, a large number of Indian troops arrived and took over the garrison of the Hari Singh local troops in the Nohera and Tanger areas.The western area of ​​Jammu is located at the southwestern foothills of the Pilpanjar Mountains, and there are tributaries of the Chenab River and the Jellum River in the area, which is mountainous and mountainous.

In order to defeat the Pakistani armed forces' attack on Nohera, the Indian army decided to attack a supply base of the Pakistani armed forces, Asir-Katala, in order to draw the bottom line.Responsible for this task is a tank mobile unit code-named "Chara Force".

The mobile detachment of "Chara Force" launched an attack on the Asir-Ketara supply base, and the tank detachment suddenly fired at the Pakistani armed forces at close range.Faced with these menacing and unstoppable iron-clad monsters, the Pakistani armed forces panicked.

Under the heavy blow of the firepower of the Indian army tanks, the Pakistani armed forces fled the local supply base, leaving behind a large amount of supplies and the bodies of the war dead.

Alan Wilson has a heavy heart recently. If Vivien Leigh and the others haven't left, they will definitely find that Alan Wilson's ability has improved a lot.

Of course, Pamela Mountbatten, who came from China, has silently endured all of this now. Facing this performance of loving her, Pamela Mountbatten is extremely satisfied, "Why are you so clingy? You can't hold back here. I also know it's wrong to let you here by yourself, but I'm not busy."

Pamela Mountbatten, who was hugging her fiancé's body, expressed her apology in a soft voice, and said flatteringly, "You are so powerful, I couldn't stand it just now."

"I can't stand it." Alan Wilson took the words directly, saying that Newfoundland is absolutely loyal, and he almost found the joy of being a monk. "If it doesn't work, I can cut it off."

"Don't, can you talk about it casually?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little panicked when she heard this, and quickly reached out her little hand to grab the handle, "I must take good care of it in the future, dear, I was wrong."

snort?Alan Wilson turned his head, his body was full of the aura of you teaching me how to do things, and he took a deep breath with Pamela Mountbatten on his back, and passed this level without any danger.

"The crown prince has promised that he and her husband will come to Newfoundland before the referendum." Pamela Mountbatten knew that her fiancé's hobby was key politics, and in order to let Alan Wilson dispel the dangerous idea, she took the initiative to transfer The topic mentioned the matter of the Newfoundland referendum and asked how sure it was of success.

"Recently, I am manipulating public opinion. I can't say that I will succeed, but I am sure." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "The key is to guide, which is exactly the necessity of public opinion manipulation. In fact, on the basis of colonies, Our country is definitely much better than the French, but in terms of determination, I don’t know whether it is an island thinking problem or other problems. It is far less determined than France. Sometimes I think, it is easier for me to serve France than it is now many."

He is not lying. After the end of World War II, the thinking of the British political circle was as if the successive prime ministers had changed from one traitor to another traitor. If the economy and economy were not done well, the colonies could not be maintained. It was like losing their souls.

Every politician knows in his heart that the era of the British Empire has passed, and he is still deceiving voters. Britain is still one of the most powerful countries on earth, and it is purely deceiving, and does not make any efforts to safeguard national interests.
