British civil servant

Apart from that, there is nothing worthy of praise. Alan Wilson remembers that after the independence of British India, Li Jisheng had served the Indians. This is intolerable. He cannot allow the Indians to receive the British Empire. heritage.

The British heritage around India had to be cashed out before the independence of British India, making it impossible for Indians to accept it.

It may be because of the incentives of the tobacco factory profits. It was not until Christmas at all. Chief executives and commissioners from all over the world have flocked to express their condolences to Alan Wilson. All the chief executives with fat heads said that as early as Alan Wilson When they were commissioners of Hyderabad, they felt that this kid was not in the pool.

For this kind of compliment, Alan Wilson of course expressed humility, and at the same time sent a deposit certificate from the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"Dear gentlemen, Sir Edward is satisfied with the performance of the gentlemen in such a difficult time. During the post-war period, the determination of the gentlemen to stick to their posts is touching. Now the local economic revitalization plan requires everyone to redouble their efforts. "

Alan Wilson raised his wine glass, while congratulating everyone, he also expressed his miss for British India, "I have been looking forward to returning to New Delhi and working with you all the time, and now I am finally back."

"Alan, if you can get the appreciation of the cabinet secretary, your future future must be unimaginable." After Alan Wilson expressed his miss for British India, the chief executives of the provinces also reciprocated. Hope Alan Wilson comes back.

"I came back this time out of the British Empire's care for British India. With goodwill to the many subjects in South Asia, I returned to the place where the dream started to build India." After drinking a cup, Alan Wilson said, " We want to build a new India, so that all subjects of British India will benefit. Let the pearl of the British Empire shine brighter."

Then Alan Wilson expressed his plan, and he will immediately start a wave of construction in British India, so that all Indians can feel a bright future?

"Why is that?" Burke, the chief executive of the United Provinces, asked a little puzzled, "What we should do is to transfer as much wealth as possible to the UK, shouldn't we?"

"That's just one aspect!" Alan Wilson explained with a gentle look, "And it's a very rough way. In fact, there is a better way. We have formulated a set of economic revitalization plans. Everyone knows that once it is implemented If it is finished, the whole of India will be strong. But he can’t finish it at all! Spend all the funds of British India, and in the plan, we will start all the expensive projects.”

"In terms of agriculture, we need to ensure the demand in Europe. I think we should expand cotton planting next year. After all, the textile industry, as a labor-intensive industry, can solve the employment problem of many local citizens."

Allen Wilson talked eloquently, expounding on his glorious ideal of building a great India. Whatever Nehru and Gandhi are just for fun, they are all false founding fathers of India.

The real founding father of India is Alan Wilson. If the great India wants to be great again, it has to follow his line.

When all the wealth accumulated in British India is spent, wouldn't it be great for everyone to pat their butts and leave?

"I want all the provinces to be electrified, and we should build a dam here."

After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heated. The chief executives of various provinces began to discuss what kind of projects are suitable for the places they manage. There has never been such a time when everyone is so concerned about the development of India.

Chapter 181 Disasters Won't Be Consecutive For Two Years

After the revised Indian Government Organization Act was promulgated in [-], the finances of the entire British India were preserved to a certain extent, which means that British India gained a certain degree of autonomy.

The original British India wanted to hand over all property to London. Since then, part of the wealth has remained in British India.Of course, it is special during the war period, and British India should not expect to accumulate wealth.

But now that the war is over, the finances of British India are still okay. After all, this is the advantage of areas with low human rights.It can overcome some objective economic laws.

Wealth touches people's hearts. Now the local situation is complicated, and there is no feasible opinion on British India. Seeing the end of the year, the gentlemen are under great pressure to keep the taxes of British India.

On the one hand, there is an uncertain future, and on the other hand, it is a huge wealth for everyone.

This is very embarrassing. Everyone can take only the part they need as usual. After all, they are serving the entire British Empire, and they cannot be exhausted.

But now the future of British India is still uncertain. If you work hard to maintain the dignity of the British Empire, you will end up with the consequences of losing both people and money. Whether it is a long flow of water or cash out quickly, under the uncertain future, many people tend to prefer the latter .

But Alan Wilson still opposes the idea of ​​everyone running away with a share of the money, which is an obvious crime.

In the case of straightforward corruption, although everyone here is capable of being shot ten times, it is within the scope of permission after all. It directly divides the wealth accumulated in British India, and everyone has to consider emigrating.

Alan Wilson said that everyone still has to serve the empire, and they have to master the methods.While taking into account personal interests, we must also consider the British Empire.

Alan Wilson, who has returned from further study at home and waved the RBS certificate of deposit, did not show superiority, but modestly said that there is a feasible way, that is, Dajian

"Gentlemen, don't come when this opportunity is too late. We have to think of a way. Is there any way to make all the indicators look good in a short period of time, but it is not sustainable. After all, if British India becomes independent one day, we will What we would like to see, of course, is that an independent India is not as good as British India."

Alan Wilson expressed his worries, "No one wants to see the colonies get better after independence, right? If India develops very well after independence, doesn't that prove that the gentlemen have poor governance of India?"

"Cement and steel are all consumables, but gold is not. As for the rupee? It is essentially a piece of waste paper." The chief executive of Bangladesh Province thought for a while and said, "Our Bangladesh region is now divided into two parts. Two religions occupy the majority. The west part of Greater Bengal is an important jute producing area, and East Bengal is the textile industry center of British India, so we in Assam, Bengal, can only build on transportation.”

Alan Wilson nodded knowingly. The Greater Bengal region is the most important economic region of British India. Calcutta has long been the administrative center of British India and is now an important city. It cannot be said that there is no development, but the importance of Delhi has been ignored.

Calcutta, the central city of the region, was originally established as the temporary capital of British India, and has since gradually developed into the commercial center of the whole of India.The real fatal blow to Calcutta was the subsequent partition of India and Pakistan. After the partition of India and Pakistan, Greater Bengal as a whole ceased to exist, but was divided into two hostile countries with different religions.

The jute production area and the processing center have become two countries. Mountbatten said that once the partition of India and Pakistan begins, East Pakistan will become the largest poor kiln in the world.

But in fact, the place where Bangladeshis live, as the place with the largest economic aggregate in the entire subcontinent, is naturally unique. After the partition of India and Pakistan, West Pakistan is almost an import economy. Where does the money come from?It was East Pakistan, and later Bangladesh, which earned foreign exchange through exports.

Because East Pakistan has been giving but can't leave wealth, the long-term unfairness eventually caused the fuse of Pakistan's internal strife.

Bangladesh has always been the textile center of South Asia and an important producer of jute.Alan Wilson asked the Governor of Bengal Province, "Dear Mr. Andrew, I would like to know the proportion of religious population in Greater Bengal."

"There are more followers of Peace Christians, but Bangladeshis are basically one nation, but they have different religions." The chief executive of Bangladesh Province replied, "This is a fact that everyone knows."

In fact, after half a year, there have been some changes in British India, such as the change of the chief executive of the Bengal province.There are still some provincial heads who chose to leave British India after the war.

This time when Alan Wilson came back, at least five or six chief executives had changed.Some had left British India, others had moved beyond their original provinces.

The issue of large-scale construction cannot be discussed in a short period of time. It must be discussed for a certain period of time, and then a mature plan will be formulated.

If this is in the local area, Alan Wilson estimates that the introduction of a so-called mature plan will not be completed in a year or a half, but in British India, many chief executives and commissioners who are gearing up will definitely not take so long time.

Although this is the case, there is definitely no result today. On the contrary, the idea of ​​agriculture is much simpler.

Under the careful preparation of Sir Baron, the united and stable group of British Indian civil servants decided to chat while eating. After all, they were talking about the problem of eating for everyone. How can they do without eating?

Although the agricultural issue is not so complicated, when it comes to the issue of food, a real gentleman will only be more cautious at that time.

For the purpose of promoting cotton planting in the spring to satisfy the local textile industry, not all voices are in favor. For example, the chief executive of the Central Province has doubts about this, "Alan, in fact, this year's British India's grain production The situation is not optimistic. Although the drought does not last long, because we have given priority to supplying food to the local area, the warehouses in various parts of British India are actually empty. If the weather is not good, there may be a food crisis. The famine, the Bengal famine has only passed for a few years, will it cause a backlash from the Indians?"

"Why the rebound? Agriculture depends on the weather. Indians don't blame the weather, they don't blame themselves for being lazy, they blame us?" Alan Wilson said with a glass of wine in bewilderment. There, who said it was empty? The Indians didn't know it, it was full, and British India had enough food to survive any natural disaster."

"Full?" Gretel was taken aback. Where did this start?Just declaring it is not enough. Once there is a famine, food will definitely be needed to balance the price of food. What should I do if I can’t get it?

"At that time, just find a few people to burn the warehouse, and say that the food has been deliberately destroyed by some people. For example, anti-British elements who sympathize with the Indian National Army. If it doesn't work, you can push it to the Muslim League. "Alan Wilson sighed secretly when he said this. It was a good idea. He poured the whiskey in his mouth into his mouth as a compliment to himself.

As for whether to blame the sympathizers of the Indian National Army or the Muslim League, we must look at the problem flexibly and release news at the same time, telling the Hindus that the Muslim League did it, and telling the elite that it was the National Army sympathizers who did it.

According to different positions, different groups will naturally adopt what they want to believe.

This is not a big problem, but Alan Wilson still added, "Punjab should not be added to the cotton planting plan, so that the granary will be stable and everyone will not have to worry."

Greet also felt that there was some truth when he heard it, and nodded to himself, "That's right, it is common sense that natural disasters will not come for two consecutive years."

"It's very reasonable, and I think so too. There won't be two disaster years in a row. If it does happen, the Indians should reflect on it. Why does their Lord Shiva punish the Indians like this? It must be The beliefs of the Indians are not firm." Alan Wilson joked to his colleagues around him with a smile on his face.

"Haha!" The chief executives and commissioners around laughed heartily. The last dinner tasted good too.

Alan Wilson felt that he had considered the compromise plan as much as possible, so he did not let Punjab, the granary of British India, join in out of goodwill.

This is already the biggest concession. If there is a small accident, it is the responsibility of God. Natural disasters cannot be related to themselves, right?

As for the grain in Punjab, if it has to be exported in exchange for foreign exchange, it has nothing to do with him.That was London's decision, and the civil servants of British India were just an enforcer.

The matter of next year's agricultural policy was decided so happily at the reception. To plant cash crops, we must find a way to make Indian farmers rich first. Only when farmers become rich can they better promote the development of British India.

From a profit point of view, there is nothing wrong with this decision, as long as there are no natural disasters, there will be no problem.

Returning to the first civil servant reception in British India, Alan Wilson was welcomed by many colleagues, and everyone smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

It took a single reception to decide on the agricultural policy of British India next year, which can be said to reflect excellent efficiency. If it is spread to London, it will definitely shame the local colleagues who are vegetarians.

The agricultural plan is just an appetizer, and there is no lucrative industry. Large-scale construction is what civil servants are most concerned about.

Chapter 182 Concentrating on Big Events

But even if it is a large-scale construction plan with a sheep's head, it still needs everyone's hard work. We can't make a plan full of loopholes, otherwise it will be spotted by the middle and lower-level Indian civil servants?

Therefore, this plan must be ambitious, believable and sincere, and you cannot just open a plan and spend money.Alan Wilson's proposition has already gained consensus among senior civil servants in British India.

Therefore, at the Christmas party near the end of the year, the British civil servants did not spend all their meals during the meal. They did not forget their work for entertainment, and did their best to contribute to the development of India.

Many senior civil servants are old seniors. Although Alan Wilson is an assistant to the commissioner, he is not picky about these seniors.For example, the road construction plan in Bangladesh Province has a very mature overall view.

If you don't take into account that the Ganges Delta is always flooded, resulting in roads and bridges that don't last long.

And once India is partitioned, Greater Bengal will be divided into two countries, the bridges will go to Pakistan, the roads built will be abandoned, and other reasons, this is a perfect plan.

Storm surges in the Ganges Delta are mostly caused by hurricanes, which are formed by a strongly developing low pressure center.Synchronized with the "summer monsoon", mid-May to mid-September is the season when tropical cyclones prevail.During this period, there are many convective rains and typhoons, often lightning and thunder, and heavy rains cause disasters.

The Ganges Delta is low and flat with an average altitude of only ten meters. The area near the Bay of Bengal is less than ten meters above sea level. The river network is densely covered and the coastline is funnel-shaped. Storm surges are not easy to disperse and gather near the mouth of the Ganges River, forming strong tides and covering the sky. Flooding to the Ganges delta plain, it is easy to cause large-scale flooding.

Hurricanes and rainstorms in the Ganges Delta are common occurrences, and the geographical factors in this are also due to the Himalayas.The precipitation in the entire Ganges River Basin is outrageous during the rainy season, and the Ganges Delta is one of the high-incidence areas. Once a flood occurs, 20 to [-] people will die, which is not a sensational thing at all.

But even so, the impact plain of the Ganges Delta is still the treasure land of the Ganges. After the partition of India and Pakistan, the mouth of the Ganges fell into the hands of other countries, which seriously affected the development of the Ganges Basin.

It is equivalent to that the Yangtze River Basin is under control, but the Dahekou from Huijing to Shanghai is lost. This is a fart.

Different provinces have different advantages. Bangladesh is mainly built on roads and bridges. Delhi and Mumbai can also have their own projects. Since they are the top two cities, the capital and the import and export trade center, the development of real estate should not be too much. ?

A map of the distribution of natural resources immediately appeared in front of Alan Wilson and the senior civil servants of British India.

From the map in front of me, the gentlemen who are closely united probably already know it in their hearts.India's current industrial zone and resource allocation are actually located in the northeast region near the mouth of the Ganges River. The industrial zone centered on Calcutta is currently the most powerful industrial zone in British India.

So this time the big construction is mainly to strengthen the Calcutta industrial zone. As for Delhi and Mumbai, just build a house. Once the Partition of India and Pakistan occurs, the Calcutta industrial zone will collapse.

No wonder Nehru strongly opposed it when the Partition of India and Pakistan was first proposed. It turns out that this is where the Bengalis live and where the essence of British India lies.

The industrial area centered on Calcutta is the earliest industrial area formed in British India. Linen spinning and machinery are the two major industrial sectors in this area. The Ganges Delta is the jute producing area of ​​India. manufacturing industry center.Calcutta is the largest city in the Ganges Delta and has long been the largest city in South Asia.

However, all of this will say goodbye with the partition of India and Pakistan, and it is destined to decline due to political reasons.

"Northeast! The direction is the same! What a great place." Alan Wilson rubbed his chin with his hand, and suddenly thought of an old industrial area with similar basic conditions, so he directly set the core area of ​​Dajian, and opened his mouth to face The colleagues around said, "Gentlemen, this is an era of reconciliation. Calcutta is full of diverse charms. It should be the most prosperous place in British India, isn't it? Compared with other places, this is a heavy industrial area. Heavy industry The development of China needs a lot of capital investment, and it needs a lot of money."

Very, very large investment, this sentence has attracted the attention of all the chief executives, but if Calcutta is concentrated as the center of the construction, wouldn't other provinces lose their share?How about that?

Faced with this kind of objection, Alan Weir signaled to be calm and said, "Gentlemen, now is the time to unite. If the Indians know what we are like now, they will laugh at us. Let's not be limited to one city and one city. The gains and losses of the land, because it is very likely that the entire British India will not have room for us to display our talents."

"The advantage of concentrating efforts to do big things is that when all eyes are on one place, everyone has made their own contribution, and of course they all have their own share."

"Gentlemen, this is not normal. We are in the same boat now." The chief executive of Bengal Province, Glitter, also said, "All the funds of British India are gathered together, and the movement of every fund is in the hands of everyone." Under your nose, you can send people to Calcutta to closely monitor the movement of funds."

"Of course, we have to carry out large-scale construction in a planned way. For example, we must strictly establish supporting factories in the residential areas of Hindus and peaceful Christians. To use a popular metaphor, we have to give Hindus a lock. , but the key is in the hands of the Peace Cultists, and vice versa."

Alan Wilson explained lightly that the advantage of this is that once the Partition of India and Pakistan begins, the entire Kolkata industrial area will collapse as a whole, and even if it doesn't end all at once, there is no need to think about any further development.

London is still hesitating about the idea of ​​British India, but those present are all civil servants of British India. Everyone knows that Ali Jinnah has publicly announced more than once that he will never stay in the same country with Hindus .

This resolute attitude, even after being assassinated, did not change, on the contrary, it became more and more firm.

Thinking of the distribution of the two major religions, when looking at the Kolkata industrial zone, everyone can see the difference.

"We are also trying to bridge the conflict between the two major religions. As Allen said, this is an era of reconciliation." The chief executive of Bangladesh, Grit, nodded in understanding, and then said loudly, "This is not just about Calcutta or It is the province of Bengal, and the glory belongs to the whole of British India, including any religion."

"Yes, yes!" The chief executives of the provinces responded positively, so the key areas of the major construction this time have already been determined, and the rest is what kind of support the provinces can give, which Alan Wilson is not a professional , but also these chief executives to introduce.

Looking at the colleagues who spoke freely, Alan Wilson was quite proud. The counterpart assistance appeared in British India in this way, which should be regarded as a feat of his own.

Based on the principle of "complementary advantages, mutual benefit, long-term cooperation, and common development", the two parties should carry out multi-level and all-round cooperation in poverty alleviation assistance, economic and technological cooperation, and talent exchanges.

However, the difference is that the Calcutta Industrial Zone itself is currently the most important industrial zone in British India.

Therefore, the current counterpart assistance is to help the backward areas to help the rich areas become richer. The main goal of the large-scale construction plan is to drain all funds and talents from other provinces and focus on the construction of the Calcutta industrial zone.

I look forward to this becoming the most competitive place in British India. This is all for the future of British India.

However, if there are some twists and turns in the future that no one wants to see, such as the partition of India and Pakistan, all funds and construction will naturally be in vain.

But there is absolutely no responsibility for the gentlemen present here. It is well known that this time the large-scale construction plan is a good intention, and it even has the intention of bridging the places where Hindus and peace believers live together and promoting unity.

If the two groups of people have to live separately in the future, resulting in the disintegration of the entire Calcutta industrial zone, the responsibility cannot fall on the gentlemen present, but the selfishness of the Congress Party and the Muslim League.

Already having a framework for the general direction, Alan Wilson quickly sent the preliminary plan to Sir Barron.

Once Sir Barron approves, he will report to British India. Holding the draft of the major construction plan, Sir Barron asked a few questions, "This draft is very detailed, but if London proposes a major construction plan for this What if the Kolkata industrial zone is going to be a contender?"

"Sir Baron, this is a long-term development plan. My colleagues and I believe that now is the time to realize the potential of British India. There are many people and strength. I believe that mobilizing the enthusiasm, the ten-year development plan can be achieved in the future." We will launch at the same time within a year." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "We have all worked in British India for many years, and we have deep feelings for this land, and we are eager to see earth-shaking changes here."

"Okay, I'll send this draft to Sir Edward right away, don't leave yet, and explain some key points here that the locals may not think about." Sir Barron nodded, and stopped Ai who was about to leave. Len Wilson.

"Oh, I understand!" Alan Wilson stayed very obediently, and the annotation document must have been sent to the cabinet secretary.

With the invisible radio waves, the big construction draft crossed half a broken ball, spread to the European continent, and was soon placed on Edward Bridges' desk.

Chapter 183 Christmas Dinner

Also on the desk of Edward Bridges, there are notes on this large-scale construction plan.

Based on the current situation, if British India is regarded as the lowest-level supplier of raw materials, the rapid pull to the mainland is extremely limited.

The most important thing is that it may take a lot of time. Alan Wilson hopes that the British mainland can recover within a year or two, at least before the establishment of NATO in history. In this way, the UK will have much more options for recovering its national strength. .

Whether it can even recover before the Soviet Union depends on how much oil and water can be squeezed out of British India by the united group of British civil servants.

Alan Wilson actually has a certain degree of confidence in this. Once the big construction starts, not only will it not cause a drag on the country in a short period of time, but it will cause an increase in demand and lead to an overheated economy.

In the long run, it would definitely be too big a step, but there is no long-term plan now, and he doesn't believe that there will be any problems in the overheating of British India's economy in two or three years.

As for the problems that occurred after the independence of British India, the responsibility is naturally Nehru and Ali Jinnah. Why did the indicators keep rising when the United Kingdom was there, and you became the masters of your own, and there was an economic crisis?
