British civil servant

Lana Turner, Joan Bennett and others also nodded one after another. Lana Turner also asked how Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamarr, who had returned to Europe, were doing now.

"They're okay!" Alan Wilson nodded cautiously. There are several actresses with American nationality in front of him. You must be cautious when speaking. From McCarthy, he already understands that this place belongs to Americans after all. territory.

He still trusts non-American actors, but there is one exception. He happens to have something to ask for, and he specifically asks Katharine Hepburn to discuss.

"What do you need from me? You don't think I'm as easy to deceive as Vivienne, do you?" Katharine Hepburn looked wary. She always felt that most of the actresses who came here were familiar with the man in front of her. The network is a bit too much.

"Catherine, it's like this. I have a friend who really wants to enter the acting career. If I can get your guidance, the road ahead will be much easier." Allen Wilson said that besides Audrey Hepburn Can anyone, he is now looking for help from Hollywood Honor No. 1 for Ball Flower.

"Do you have any photos?" Katharine Hepburn asked directly without expressing anything special.

"Yes!" Alan Wilson took out his wallet. If there was a Sunrun reporter at this time, it would be another good opportunity for him to become famous, but unfortunately not!

Katharine Hepburn watched the man take out the photo from the wallet face to face, took it over and looked at it for a while, and said for a long time, "She is very beautiful, she is very important to you, otherwise a man will not carry a photo of a woman with him."

"Ms. Catherine, can I not answer this question?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. "Some things are very complicated, and I have personal difficulties. I just ask for your help."

Asking for others, Alan Wilson also maintained the attitude of asking for others. He himself was let out for free. What qualifications do he have to evaluate another man who wants to go for free?It just doesn't make sense!

"I see. If this girl arrives in the United States one day, of course I am willing to help." Katharine Hepburn nodded, and then returned the photo to Alan Wilson. "Then, see you when you are free."

Alan Wilson, who came to the company meeting instead of Vivien Leigh, continued to choose to stay dormant during this period. At the same time, the collapse of the Cannon Party continued, which became a strong basis for McCarthy to jump up and down.After all, China is not a small country, and it will take time to walk, and it will not be able to collapse before the end of the year.

The Indian government's military operations against Hyderabad have gradually become clear. Fifty thousand Indian troops and one hundred thousand Hyderabad private troops have launched a fierce battle, and the current situation has reached a stalemate.

Although he was making a decisive decision, Maharaja Ali Khan still did not express his determination to fight to the end.But after all, after several years of preparation, the private army composed of peace believers in their hands is still capable of fighting.

Faced with the pressure of the Indian army, Ali Khan stated that he had no intention of establishing an independent country, and at the same time put pressure on other states to intimidate New Delhi, and obtained external weapon support through Portuguese Goa, which stabilized the situation.

In Portuguese Goa, the military exercises of the Portuguese army also made it impossible for the Indian government to ignore the threat of foreign interference.The current situation in Hyderabad is in the midst of fighting and talking.

"New Delhi's level of organizing large-scale military operations has not yet improved. Look at their northern neighbors." Alan Wilson put down his report on the international situation, and commented indifferently, "In the Kashmir War, India mobilized four With [-] troops, Hyderabad is like this, and New Delhi's current ability to control the country is quite limited."

"I've been away for so long, and I'm still paying attention to things over there. Is there anything new?" Vivien Li rolled her eyes at the man and asked.

"Yes, Crown Prince Elizabeth and Prince Philip have already started their return journey. General Mountbatten said that the prince will directly serve in the Mediterranean Fleet." Allen Wilson said in a business-like manner, "You are not interested in this matter, are you?"

Chapter 500 Indian Warfare

Seeing Vivien Leigh's lack of interest, Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. The Great Britain Treasure didn't know about the relationship between the two, and the FBI in the United States had already known about it.

This is certainly not a good thing, but Alan Wilson doesn't think it is so daunting. A dignified intelligence department still cares about the relationship between men and women?Just because of the relationship between men and women, his fear of the FBI is very limited, and he is not targeted by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The modern intelligence department, to be honest, has to be the National Security Council of the Soviet Union, which later became the KGB.More than a dozen general administrations each manage a pool, including military, transportation, border defense, internal security, science and technology, civil defense and fire protection, and even cadres' recuperation.

But the KGB is only a part of the power department after the Ministry of Internal Affairs was dismantled. If you really want to say that it stands there, it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union that Beria personally manages. This is a complete Ministry of Internal Affairs with independent judicial power.The powers that the later KGB possessed were nothing more than what is now being done by departments under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

During the KGB period, the Soviet Union also had a Ministry of Internal Affairs. The reason why the KGB did not appear to be strong was because during the Khrushchev period, the power of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs was devolved to the republics, while the power of the KGB was still in Moscow. The late comers who took the power of the KGB.

In short, the department that can scare Allen Wilson to the ground is not in the United States, and he is not worried that the FBI will do anything to him because of this incident.

In Alan Wilson in Los Angeles, it's nothing more than touching Vivien Leigh's belly and experiencing the thriving growth of the child.Then he found a few familiar friends. Recently, he was very busy looking for Pauline Gao Dai. After all, he was a consul with the talent of a prime minister. It was normal to talk to Chaplin's ex-wife if he had nothing to do.

The sky over New Delhi, the capital of India, is cloudy and drizzle.The rising water vapor is like a thick twilight, covering the whole city.The various signal lights at the international airport have also lost their former brilliance. Looking from a distance, they look like halos of halo.

Indian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Jawaharlal Nehru stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the VIP room, staring at the tarmac outside the window for a long time.He was dressed in a long robe, with a pair of dark and flexible eyes embedded in his brown face, and his slightly moving lips were talking to himself.His steps are steady and he is hale and hearty, except for his gorgeous hair and black and white beard between his lips.

"Nehru influenced the world." Indians said so, and leaders of many countries in the world have commented on him in this way.

Nehru has devoted himself to the cause of India's independence and liberation since his youth, and was arrested and imprisoned five times.With his indomitable will and superhuman organizational skills, he, together with Mahatma Gandhi, united all parties, classes, and ethnic groups of various religious beliefs in India, and finally won India's independence.

"The first, almost instinctive, reaction of every nascent regime is to cling to the territory that has been left to him. Wherever the colonial power once ruled, the new power must rule."

At first, when he saw this passage by the British historian Gunnar Myrdal, he laughed at it.Unexpectedly, now I have also tasted the bitter and spicy taste.

However, at this moment, his state of mind is like this rainy weather, dark and gloomy. The influence of the British Empire's rule on the subcontinent is extremely far-reaching. Possession of fame does not mean that India is free from all ills as a country.

Nehru hoped to use his fame to promote reconciliation, but things backfired, and he still had to go to the point of using force to solve the problem, but this must be resolved.

If there is anything that has touched Nehru in recent years, it is that during the process of Indonesia's independence, European colonial countries united together and forcibly split Indonesia in the United Nations, taking away the two largest islands in this archipelago country. The islands accounted for almost half of the nascent country's territory.

What happened in Indonesia made Nehru clearly realize that Ali Jinnah insisted on the partition of India and Pakistan.Then after the partition of India and Pakistan, the European colonial countries have discovered the benefits brought about, and regard partition as a feasible path.

Nehru is of course sympathetic to Sukarno and what happened to Indonesia as a whole, but at this stage he still has his own affairs. Many internal states, especially the most powerful Hyderabad state, whose Maharaja Ali Khan has resisted New Delhi's exercise of power over all of India.

After ending the war with Pakistan over Kashmir, Nehru turned around and began to look at internal problems.

The India-Pakistan war caused by Kashmir finally ended with India having a slight advantage. The independence of Kashmir no longer exists. India occupies slightly more than half of the land, and it is more fertile and has a larger population. It can be regarded as an explanation for the country.

For the ministers who wanted to continue the war, Nehru used the reason to solve internal problems first as a way to appease.It was time for the internal problems to be resolved, but this time it was not going well.

Because Ali Khan has a non-staff minister, that is, Alan Wilson who is serving as a consul in the United States, it can be said that he has been preparing for the withdrawal of the British Empire from the subcontinent since World War II was not over.

Alan Wilson, the non-staff minister, in order to prove that he is by no means a white-collar salary, has done his best to make independent India struggle more in the quagmire.A large number of German weapons that were destined to be scrap iron were brought to the subcontinent by two wings.

At the same time, a group of German soldiers helped Ali Khan train the Hyderabad army in the name of instructors.Of course, today, because the environment in Germany has stabilized and it has received the support of the Marshall Plan, there are not many German soldiers still in Hyderabad, and most of the German soldiers have returned to Europe.

But the remaining German officers still played an important role, commanding Ali Khan's army, using a large number of German land and air weapons, and in this armed conflict, sniping the attacking Indian army.

The area of ​​Hyderabad is actually larger than that of Kashmir. Its heritage as a powerful kingdom of the British Alliance for hundreds of years is still quite rich. The huge land area also gave the Germans room to play.

If it weren't for [-], when Hyderabad took the initiative to give the land in the north to British India as a direct administration, Hyderabad would be even bigger now.

It is true that the German advisers of Ali Khan's army do not even have a major general, but a group of lieutenant officers who have gone through the test of war and faced siege from all over the world are still able to do a job with ease in the subcontinent.

Although Hyderabad did not respond in time to the attack of the Indian army at the beginning, the slow action of the Indian army finally gave Hyderabad time to make arrangements.

The Germans first determined that the attacking Indian army was not large, and it was.Even Alan Wilson, who is far away in the United States, can see that India still lacks experience in commanding large corps, and German officers who have really fought against the Soviet Red Army can easily judge it.

Having made this judgment, the German military officers made arrangements to rely on the Deccan Plateau to defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

The Deccan Plateau is the largest lava platform in the world.It is a huge pre-Cambrian ancient landmass. It is the core of the subcontinent. Although the altitude is not high, not even as high as the mountains in Europe, it is very steep. The low Deccan Plateau is very fragmented, which is not conducive to large Corps attack.

The scale of Hyderabad ranks first in the state. Ali Khan has his own army, propaganda system, railway network, postal system and currency. There is also an advantage that was noticed by German military officers. rail.

This is because Ali Khan was interfered by the British Indian Governor's Office when he was building the railway, which caused Hyderabad's railway network to be unable to connect with most of India's railways.But now, it is used by German military officers. When there is a defensive war, this is not only not a disadvantage, but also an advantage.

The roads in the Deccan Plateau are winding, steep and narrow, and in some places are just small trails.It is indeed not easy to disperse thin troops along such a distant front, and to keep them constantly supplied with food and ammunition, or to hold them firmly against a stubborn enemy who almost relies on his own bases.

However, with Hyderabad's self-contained railway network, it began to take advantage of this advantage, and Hyderabad's army was divided into two parts to advance.The main force moved northward along the railway.A smaller but better corps of guards intended to follow the only narrow road across the central plateau to the Krishna River.

The two troops finally captured an Indian army that was the deepest in Hyderabad. It was a regiment in size. It was an ace unit that had just withdrawn from the Kashmir battlefield. The purpose of coming to Hyderabad was also simple, from one victory to another victory.

The fighting lasted all day, with occasional melees of a level never seen in previous wars.

Before night fell, many soldiers of the Indian army found that their ammunition was almost out.

It was not until the order to retreat was received that the Indians realized that the retreat route had been cut off.A strong Hyderabadi force blocked the main road ahead of the engagement.They held the position firmly and made several attacks by Indian reinforcements unsuccessful in order to drive them ahead of the arrival of Indian reinforcements.

Indian troops, aware of the unfavorable situation, began to retreat, but were ambushed on the main road.As a result, the place was quickly filled with wrecked vehicles, and the tank crews and infantry scattered in panic.

After losing its suddenness, New Delhi's offensive has entered the Kashmir-style combat track. It can be said that the war is going on every day, but it is protracted and has turned into shelling and attacking each other.

At this time, there is no such thing as a security war, but in fact India's military operations have become a mode of security warfare.

Chapter 5 and one bombarded Hollywood

Along the river Krishna, the dark yellow water flooded out, and the bushes by the river sank in the water, obediently caught by death.The soldiers who could not break free from the siege stared at the yellow water.The eyeballs were rigid and motionless, as if they were nailed to the face.

As one of the largest rivers in South India, even if the Krishna River is not as wide as the Ganges, it cannot be crossed by a single person. The so-called good water quality is a minority in any group.

After several days of hard work, the Hyderabad private army finally achieved a landmark victory.

Not all British officials in India have been evacuated. The plan to replace British officials with Indian officials is following steps. There are still British officials from the British Raj period serving in the Indian government.

With the existence of this group of people, although no one could figure out the situation for a period of time since the beginning of the war, after the chaos at the beginning, everyone already had a general understanding of the current situation.

Relying on the presence of these British officials, although it was not very convenient, Alan Wilson took serious care to clarify the situation in the Indian subcontinent.

With the sunrise, the whole Calcutta gradually wakes up.A colony of ants starts to squirm, Peter Morgan thought, prosaic, jittery, fear of God, and pain.

It was seven o'clock in the morning.But there was a dusk-like morning light.The cloud buttocks in the sky are still, covering the sky over Kolkata. Although the hardware of this long-term center of British India and the largest city in eastern India is still perfect, after the partition of India and Pakistan and the religious vendetta, he is the only one. The vice-consul knew in his heart that the vitality of this one of the largest cities in the subcontinent was gradually disappearing.

The morning sky in the city presents a sickness, which makes those white people who are not used to the climate of Calcutta wake up pale and ugly.Peter Morgan was now looking at himself in the mirror.

Peter Morgan, who was heading to the consulate, started running around. After all, he was not a member of that famous family in the United States. He stayed in India only for the good treatment. On the road, several women were spraying water on all sides. The dry dust was soaked by water and stuck to the On the ground, it smelled like urine.

He had come from Lahore, where he had been vice-consul for a year and a half before, in an accident, he was transferred from Lahore, an arrangement that the diplomatic authorities in Calcutta considered a headache.He's here waiting to be rescheduled.However, there has been no movement for a long time, and it seems to be quite troublesome.

Let him wait in Calcutta.His office work consisted of sorting and sorting, which was assigned to officials in his situation.His official residence was reserved for officials who were in Calcutta awaiting transfer.

The biggest change was the end of British India. Compared with him, an official who was still waiting, other officials had already found a way out, so after several changes, Peter Morgan became one of the very few British officials who stayed in India.

"Contact the consulate in Los Angeles and inform that the negotiations between New Delhi and the Portuguese Governor's Office have failed. The attack on Hyderabad is not going well. At present, the situation is in a stalemate."

The purpose of Patel's entry into Goa was to persuade Portugal not to be hostile to India and to abandon its colonies and leave India.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Portuguese. Since India's independence, Goa's status has been similar to Xiangjiang, becoming a bridge controlled by Europe next to a big country. Of course, the Portuguese will not give up this almost exclusive position.

The two large battleships docked at the port of Goa and the domestic air force base gave the Portuguese confidence, and the Governor's Palace in Goa heard a gossip that the country was planning to buy an aircraft carrier from London and join the Indian Ocean fleet.

How long has the Portuguese Navy not had such a large fleet?The Portuguese in the subcontinent almost forgot.

Naturally, London would not think about it. Why did Salazar call for saving money and tapping the internal potential to come up with such an aircraft carrier? Anyway, as long as he lives for a day, he will defend Portugal's overseas territories and fight to the end.

At the United Nations General Assembly, the Indian ambassador to the United Nations has protested, accusing the Portuguese of being a legacy of colonialism, occupying Goa and holding military exercises while India is settling its internal affairs, which is a gross violation of India's internal affairs.

The words were sincere and empathetic, and the assistant next to Alexander Cadogan whispered, "Ambassador, how should we express our position."

"In terms of traditional friendship, we should stand on the side of India, but the traditional friendship with the Portuguese cannot be harmed. Of course we sympathize with the feelings of the Indians, but what the Portuguese do in their overseas territories legally, It is also beyond reproach, we should give respect to the Indians is good, but we must also maintain the unity of European countries."

Alexander Cadogan looked at his assistant, pondered for a moment and said, "The Salazar government is discussing the Giant-class aircraft carrier with the country. Any statement we make here may hurt the heart of our friends, which is very difficult. manage."

Regarding the accusation made by the Indian representative, the Portuguese also made a well-founded rebuttal, saying that when Goa was in the hands of the Portuguese, the Mughal Empire did not exist, and it has nothing to do with the current Indian government. "Some It is wishful thinking that the independent country has the right to inherit all the colonies of the suzerain in the region. Even if the suzerain leaves all the land to the independent country, it will not be thanked."

As soon as the Portuguese ambassador finished speaking, ambassadors from several countries, including the French ambassador, tapped on the table to express their support, and the atmosphere of the conference became anxious.

"It's going to quarrel again!" Alexander Cadogan looked in the direction of the Soviet ambassador vaguely, making a judgment in his heart.

Not all countries in Europe have caught up with the colonial wave. Many Eastern European countries have not benefited, so they are naturally unwilling to be attacked by colonialism, not to mention that these Eastern European countries are all under the influence of the Soviet Union.

As he expected, the most common situation since the founding of the United Nations reappeared. Eastern European countries and Western European countries once again quarreled over the colonial issue.

It is also not surprising that the US ambassador to the United Nations, as always, has a vague policy on this issue, and is unwilling to stand beside the allies who keep talking.

Alan Wilson, who had finally figured out the situation in India, did not know that another daily outbreak occurred in the United Nations.Even if you know it, you won't have any opinions. Under normal circumstances, this organization basically can't do anything.

"There are too many people talking, everyone has the same rhetoric, and they can't do anything." Alan Wilson snorted and said, "It's because India's military operations are too poorly organized. If a military operation can only spend tens of thousands People, can they fight? Look at their northern neighbors, the scale, let alone what kind of weapons, quantity is sometimes quality.”

"Alan, look at my belly, it's moving inside." Vivien Leigh tapped her belly with her fingers, beckoning the criminals to observe the crime scene.

"It's a very energetic little guy." Alan Wilson kissed the belly of Great Britain Treasure, full of aftertaste, "It's so comforting, I will have a baby soon."

Alan Wilson himself was unmarried, and as for the other children, Vivien Leigh didn't know their existence, so he directly showed the joy of being a father in front of Vivien Leigh.

Alan Wilson's mood improved again because of the clarity of the situation in India. Of course, he knew that New Delhi could not always tolerate the existence of a state within a state, and would look for opportunities to attack Hyderabad, but if he failed this time, he would be able to guarantee stability for several years. Even if it's only for one year?

They are all wars. Look at East Asia and look at South Asia. East Asia has almost wiped out the entire subcontinent in half a year.South Asia spent the same amount of time in Kashmir, but in the end they just let it go. This is the gap.

Maybe the whole country is liberated, and Hyderabad is still alive and well, this is something that may happen.

Turning on the TV, it happened that his friend McCarthy was in the TV, and he was questioning Reagan, the chairman of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild who was invited, to perform a double reed play.

Although Reagan had a progressive heart at this time, he was still not good enough in front of Senator McCarthy.The protagonist is of course McCarthy himself, and the future president of the United States can only play a supporting role well.

McCarthy aggressively questioned the cultural aggression against American citizens by hidden pro-Soviet elements in Hollywood.

Reagan embodies the quality of a professional actor, changing the subject, and talking about him from left to right. On the one hand, he portrays himself as a weak person, and on the other hand, he also shows a guilty conscience about this issue.

"Mr. Ronald, you can't take a defensive attitude just because of your personal friendship. You must know that this matter is extremely important to the United States." McCarthy shouted righteously, "We want to protect this free country. Any weakness will be exploited by the enemy."

"Dear senator, isn't it too intense? People who engage in art may just be idealistic, and they don't realize the danger." Reagan took a step back and defended Hollywood, "Maybe it is against these Danger without vigilance, but definitely not with the intention of subverting the great America."

"Thank you, Mr. Ronald." McCarthy said to the gathered reporters, "I don't mind being this villain, because I can't just sit back and watch the country is in danger and remain indifferent. Some dangerous ideas have been embedded in the former United States. In proud Hollywood, that's a very dangerous fact."

Clap!In front of the TV, Allen Wilson applauded with admiration, proud of McCarthy's determination to safeguard the interests of the United States.

Chapter 5 Tune the Tiger from the Mountain

"This person wants to do something to Hollywood?" McCarthy's voice was familiar to Vivien Leigh, after all, he was a friend of his lover. "What is he going to do to Hollywood? Endless political scrutiny?"

But now Hollywood itself is not easy to deal with, and it is seriously squeezed by TV. If it faces endless political scrutiny at this time, wouldn't the industry environment be even more difficult?

"You can't say that, Vivian!" With one hand on Vivien Leigh's belly, Alan Wilson tilted his head and rubbed his ears, "The affairs of a democratic country cannot be called political censorship. This is to ensure the safety of most citizens. , sometimes we have to do things that go against our hearts."

The broad palms caressed her belly, making Vivien Leigh a little hot, "But this will destroy the already difficult film industry."

"Isn't that better? Why do these country bumpkins subtly lead people to think that Europe is the origin of modern civilization, and what the United States is, has long been nothing more than a place of fake production." Alan Wilson pulled a long voice, " Isn't it shameful that these rough, simple-minded country bumpkins are so self-confident that they can speak loudly in Europe?"

If it is said that the citizens of European countries think highly of themselves for a long time, then the current position of the United States in Europe can be regarded as an initial experience for European countries to experience the taste of colonies.

Although it is not completely appropriate, it is almost the same as the Qing army who bullied and dominated the city in East Asia. The impact after the Opium War was similar.
