British civil servant

After a few days around Christmas, the early headquarters of the Congress Party was in Calcutta, which was still the capital of British India at that time, so the Congress Party must be no stranger to the area where it will build.

The reason why we have to talk to the Congress Party instead of the Muslim League is because the Congress Party has unrealistic expectations for the preservation of a unified British India, and the various voices from the London government have deepened this unrealistic expectations.

Ali Jinnah's Muslim League aims to establish a country of its own for peace believers. Now it is in the interest of Alan Wilson to temporarily stabilize the majority Congress Party and make the Congress Party enthusiastic about the construction plan.

In the future, if the Great Construction fails, there will naturally be a scapegoat, Mumeng, who is obviously behind the blame. The British Empire will not be blamed, and it can also provoke the relationship between the two countries after independence. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The object of negotiation with the Congress Party was Nehru, not Gandhi.

Because Gandhi himself was disgusted with industrialization and was extremely enthusiastic about pastoral life, according to his idea, India after independence should be a large rural area where people live in harmony.

If you want to find a more suitable country for comparison, the ideal you pursue is similar to that of the extinct Confederate States of America.We must take the path of a strong agricultural country.

However, even if the Confederate States of America existed, they would follow a route similar to that of France. Alan Wilson didn't think that British India was similar to an agricultural power. No matter how much food was planted, it did not consider its own huge population consumption?How to make a strong agricultural country?

Contrary to Gandhi, Nehru was very enthusiastic about industry, and because he had been to the Soviet Union, he was very impressed with the rapid development speed of the Soviet Union. If it weren't for the feudal forces in British India, he might even make the post-independence India turned into a country similar to the Soviet Union.

With Nehru, who is extremely passionate about industry, the Governor's Office will naturally not talk to Gandhi, who wants to turn India into a big village.

Before the official communication, there was one person who finally got the chance to meet the new assistant commissioner, and that was Li Jisheng, the British representative on the snowy plateau.

"About the plateau that doesn't shit, my personal meaning is to be ready to cash out. All work is based on profit. You can bring as much gold as you can." Alan Weir's memory of past life In the novel, the colonial empire extended its black hand to the sacred and inviolable territory, and gave a certain route plan.

"Mr. Allen, we have invested years of energy in the snow-covered plateau." Li Jisheng said in bewilderment, "Why are you talking so lightly now?"

"The reason for investing a lot of energy is that British India is an important part of the British Empire, and the independence of British India is too loud now. We have to wait until London's decision to judge the future positioning of British India. If this important colony becomes independent If so, why do we help the Indians fight for their interests, isn’t this nobles working for commoners?”

Allen Wilson dropped a cigarette, took a sip and said with intoxication, "I have put in so much energy for so many years, it's not for the money, if the British India can't be kept, I'll always stay here What to do on the plateau? Closer to heaven? Experience the joy of breathing hard?"

The assistant to the new commissioner told the representative who lived in the snow-covered plateau for the sake of the British Empire not to talk about his ideals with himself. Take as much gold as possible from there, that's the biggest ideal."

If Li Jisheng still has any scruples about his ideals, then Alan Wilson can only replace this person with a representative who focuses on making money, and by the way, let Li Jisheng kill himself with dozens of bullets in his back.

"Do business, make money!" Li Jisheng repeated Alan Wilson's instructions, and he had to say that the idea of ​​the new assistant commissioner was really simple and clear.

"That's right! It's mainly about making money." Alan Wilson nodded in approval. He's leaving anyway. India can't take over the British Empire's influence on the plateau, can it?

This is impossible, even if Chang Gong’s cannon party has a little bit of ambition, as long as he is willing to give up real money, Alan Wilson will dare to follow the deeds of his predecessor McMahon before leaving British India, and draw a new line that is beneficial to China line.

It's nothing, it's for making money, it's not shabby, anyway, it's India that suffers, and it has nothing to do with him as a British.

It's a pity that history has proved that the Cannon Party, like Alan Wilson now, wants nothing but money.Bai Baila wasted his kindness.

After setting up the account details, Alan Wilson and Li Jisheng have nothing to talk about. He has no interest in the place closest to heaven, and he can't think of anything except cold and lack of oxygen.

After discussing the opportunity with Li Jisheng face-to-face, Alan Wilson bid farewell to British Commissioner Burgess and British Ceylon Commissioner Donald McLean before negotiating with the Congress Party, hoping that the two will have a smooth journey in their new positions.

"I heard that there is a mineral deposit called emerald in northern Myanmar. The Kachin people should know about it. I hope Burgess will take care of it." Alan Wilson slapped his brain as if he had just remembered something, and instructed carefully.

"Allen, why don't you pay attention?" Burgess said helplessly, "Are you paying too much attention to money?"

"I'm not interested in money, it's Pamela who prefers that kind of stone." Alan Wilson categorically denied

Chapter 186 Nehru is Coming

"Oh, it's Pamela." Burgess gave Alan Wilson a meaningful look, letting the other party understand for himself.

Emerald, in fact, Alan Wilson thinks it is a representative of IQ tax, but there is such a nation in this world, there is something called jade culture.

It just so happens that there are quite a few of these groups in British Malaya. In terms of production alone, if diamonds are an IQ tax, jadeite is a more definite IQ tax, especially for the Chinese.

The reserves of diamonds are very large, and the average person in the world has one carat per person.The industrial value of diamonds is very low, and they only have an irreplaceable position in the tool and abrasive industries.

The popularity of diamonds is a result of De Beers marketing.Ancient diamonds are mainly produced in India, and the output is extremely low, so they are precious.After the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa, diamond reserves rose sharply.De Beers judged the situation, won the ownership of the diamond mines in South Africa, restricted shipments, and created the illusion that the supply of diamonds was in short supply.

The emerald veins cover tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the amount of emerald produced is calculated in tens of thousands of tons per year. It is normal for individual rough stones to be several to tens of tons, and there should be no such high price at all.Alan Wilson didn't think emerald was too precious. He just wanted to imitate Emperor Russia's treasured Amber Room and build a set of furniture for himself when this thing was not worth much.

Alan Wilson thinks this idea is not too much, and now Burma is also a colony of the British Empire.If the local people are willing to help him realize this small dream, considering the mountains of weapons piled up in European countries after the war, he can expand his support for these national armed forces and exchange scrap iron for broken stones.

Besides, similar to this kind of IQ tax, it mainly depends on marketing, and the main advertisements are ruthless enough. Who says it can't become popular in Europe and the United States?

If you consider that Burma became independent in [-], Alan Wilson tried his best to postpone it for a year, and there are still three years to transport these broken stones, the dream of Emerald House should not be a problem.

It's just that the new British Burmese Commissioner doesn't understand his painstaking efforts, and doesn't understand that this kind of thing is useful for social stability. As long as the advertisement is very boastful, women will come out to pursue shiny things.

Considering Burgess' identity as a spy, Alan Wilson did not reveal too much confidential content.Before Burgess arrived in Yangon, Allen Wilson had already contacted local civil servants and asked about the situation of the local Indian National Army prisoners of war. Some of these prisoners of war were still alive under the mistreatment of the Burmese.

Coincidentally, the date of communication with the Congress Party this time is close to the date of the final trial of the Indian National Army.It was heard that another Indian soldier had mutinied, and of course it was resolved quickly without any surprise.

If there is a risk of stirring up another mutiny, according to Alan Wilson's idea, there should be no trial, just let the Burmese do things cheaply, and kill all these Japanese lackeys.

Of course, after careful consideration, Alan Wilson still decided to look at the results of the communication with the Congress Party.

If there is a good result, let these Indian National Army soldiers who pursue national independence live for a few more days. If the result is not satisfactory, then don't blame the liquidation of the affiliated forces of the Axis powers.

How to make the Congress Party have scruples in the next two to three years has always been what Alan Wilson thought about when he set foot on this land again.

Possibly within the confines of British India, a tough stance may be out of date for now.

However, the British Empire is not only the colony of British India, but also many other colonies.This involves another issue, that is, what is the role of the Indians in the colonies of the British Empire.

Not counting the colonies of the same language and the same species in Australia and Canada.Because British India is very important in the British Empire, of course it can also be exchanged for some privileges, such as acting as a local force to maintain British colonial rule in other British colonies.

If the Congress Party dares to adopt a non-cooperative attitude, the typhoon wave may not be far away.As the assistant commissioner of British India, Alan Wilson can't control other colonies, but he can still intervene in the close surroundings.

For example, Aden, the Yemeni city of Aden, is located at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, guarding the gateway from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

Yemen is in the Arabian Peninsula and seems to have nothing to do with British India, but in fact Aden is part of British India, but it doesn't often appear on the map.

Aden was occupied by the British and became a British colony. The British East India Company built a fuel coal warehouse in Aden to add fuel to the passing steamships and serve as the settlement of Aden under the jurisdiction of Mumbai until [-]. Like Burma, it was separated from the jurisdiction of British India.

Because it is a transit point in Mumbai, there are many Indians working in Aden. If the Congress Party does not tame it, Alan Wilson may have to send a telegram to the Commissioner of Aden.

While preparing for the meeting at the Governor's Palace, the Congress Party was also having heated discussions. As the representative who was carried out, Gandhi had a wide range of influence, and the signboard of the Congress Party naturally had a large number of followers.

The ideal of these followers?In fact, it is similar to Gandhi himself. He hopes that after independence, the entire British India will become a large rural area where everyone coexists peacefully, and he opposes industrialization.

This kind of concept is really nothing new in this era. There are many political parties that focus on agriculture. The Croatian armed forces that have been at war with the Yugoslav Homeland Army for a long time are such ideas.

If it were decades later, Alan Wilson felt that Europe's obsessive environmentalist parties should be regarded as successors.

Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn't know about the internal discussions of the Congress Party, but they were also full of gunpowder.Gandhi himself insisted on non-violence and non-cooperation. Of course, Nehru also expressed his support for this, but he didn't think so in his heart, but he didn't insist on fighting the British like the former chairman of the National Congress who defected to Japan. A country is established by force.

Nehru and Gandhi expressed diametrically opposed to the news that the Government House would be built. Gandhi opposed it, thinking it was another conspiracy by the British, while Nehru expressed support, thinking that it was a good thing after all.

However, apart from their attitude towards Dajian, the two have a lot in common. For example, they both believe that if they become independent in the future, the entire British India should be independent to avoid splitting into two or several countries.

When the two opinions were arguing endlessly, a third-party opinion naturally appeared. The third-party opinion believed that the main focus should be on bridging the contradiction between the two major religions that the Governor's Office claimed.

In this way, the question turned to the issue of the integrity of British India. If the rift between the two major religions can be bridged and the unity of the entire India can be preserved, both Nehru and Gandhi agreed.

This internal discussion finally decided to talk to the Governor's Office in New Delhi.

Contrary to the Congress Party, the Muslim League verbally opposed this construction, but it did not turn into demonstrations.

In this way, four days after the Christmas dinner, at the Governor's Palace in New Delhi, Alan Wilson, who represented the Governor's Palace, waited until the representatives of the Congress Party came to the door.

"Nehru came in person?" Listening to the report from the Secretary of the Governor's Office, Alan Wilson showed meaningful eyes, but immediately became calm and said, "I have always paid high respects to Mr. Nehru. Respect, Mr Nehru is known to be a learned and charismatic leader."

"Alan, how are you going to deal with the charismatic leader you say?" Sir Barron, who was sitting behind the table, asked, "Don't mix personal emotions in the communication."

"Of course not, Sir Barron." Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly and said politely, "Personal prejudice cannot be mixed in formal meetings, and besides, I have no personal grievances with the Indians."

"Then I'll drink a cup of afternoon tea first and wait for your news." Sir Barron said without moving while squatting with a cup of black tea.

Alan Wilson nodded and walked out of Sir Barron's office, heading for the conference room that had been cleaned out.

Nehru was wearing a traditional Indian robe and a white hat. Behind him were the representatives of the Congress Party this time. A total of eight people entered the Governor's Palace of British India. Under the watchful eyes of the British guards, they came to the door of the conference room. , Push the door and enter.

"Welcome to the distinguished guests of the Congress Party!" As soon as the two sides met, Alan Wilson greeted with a gentle smile, saying that he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but in fact he just came here.

Nehru did not know Alan Wilson, and it can even be said that he had long forgotten to pressure a commissioner in Hyderabad.For Nehru, it was just a small matter of nodding in agreement when others reported it.

A leader like Nehru doesn't seem like Gandhi went on hunger strike every now and then. How can he remember what he did one day a few months ago?

Facing the enthusiasm of a young negotiator, the representative of the Congress Party also responded with a friendly smile, and even greeted with Hindu etiquette, and Alan Wilson also pretended to put his hands together in return.

In the eyes of Hindus, Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism. Of course, only Hindus in British India think so, and Buddhists in other regions think it is fart.

After a friendly greeting, the representatives of both sides sat down, and Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Actually, I never think that what many people in London say is true, that is, the Congress Party is the Bolsheviks of British India. Nehru is another Stalin, and I personally have always disagreed with what some people said about using drastic measures against the Congress Party.”

Chapter 187 It's a Win-Win

As soon as this remark came out, the representatives of the Congress Party fell silent, and the entire conference room could hear needles being dropped. Even Nehru himself changed color slightly, but recovered immediately.

What Stalin and the Bolsheviks looked like in the eyes of the British Empire, no matter how closed the local elites of British India were, they could still feel that they were definitely not close allies.

Even Alan Wilson himself thinks this way. From the point of view of conscience, you can do such a good thing in your own country. Don’t think about coming out to influence the world, so that everyone can still be friends.If you have to be restless, you can only die endlessly.

"This is all nonsense. The Congress Party has nothing to do with the Bolsheviks." Nehru said without changing his expression, "Of course, in terms of fighting for national independence, the Congress Party may have similarities with the Bolsheviks. Indian consensus."

Seeing that Alan Wilson's mouth was the wording of a grand feast, Nehru was naturally not to be outdone, and threatened Alan Wilson from another place.

Of course, this is useless, and nothing can change his determination to cash out in British India in the next three years, so Alan Wilson not only did not restrain himself from Nehru's retort, but said, "Just Yesterday, I also sent a telegram to Jakarta congratulating the Dutch army on the elimination of pro-Axis forces, the more this kind of justice, the better."

"Some backward nations in this world are so naive, they really think they can change something, especially in Jakarta, where a city near the sea dares to confront a maritime power, shelling is the right thing to do."

Alan Wilson spoke in an imperialist tone that couldn't be more straightforward, singing praises to the Dutch navy that bombarded Jakarta.Even intentionally or unintentionally, he said that he should come again several times.

"India is not an archipelago, but a continent!" said one of the slightly bald congress representatives, saying that comparing the East Indies with India was a wrong comparison.

"Maybe there are no coastal cities in India?" Allen Wilson smiled and said without a trace, "As long as a fleet is assembled, the British Empire can completely replicate the Dutch bombardment of Jakarta in any country except the United States, and make this country The coastal cities are called one by one, bombarded in this city for two hours, and immediately rush to the next city, without landing or occupying land, as long as they are destroyed."

"Of course, there is no benefit in doing so. Even if it is gaining the upper hand, it is a child's play. So as long as it is generally passable, the Royal Navy will not do this."

After the threat was over, Alan Wilson spared the words again, saying that a war may result in one side winning and the other losing, and the negotiation may be a win-win situation.

This remark made the representatives of the Congress Party nod in approval. In their view, Alan Wilson just wanted to take the initiative before the negotiation, mainly for the so-called win-win result.

He has not forgotten the original intention of separating the Andaman Islands from British India.It's all written down in a small notebook, but it's not suitable to act until the financial budget of British India is not spent.

"The win-win I mean is that the British Empire won twice." Seeing the representatives of the Congress Party sitting down one after another, a smile appeared on Alan Wilson's face, and he beckoned the secretary of the Governor's Office to bring up the documents and put them on Nih In front of Lu and the others.

If the Congress Party expresses its disobedience to this large-scale construction plan, then Alan Wilson will have to contact the commissioners of other British colonies. The Indians have been the dog legs of the British Empire for so many years, and now they want to be independent. Should Indians in other colonies go back to their homeland?

If you think about it carefully, from South Africa, Mauritius, to Aden, and British Ceylon, whoever you send a telegram depends on Alan Wilson's mood. Where did the wave of typography start?He thinks it is better to start from a young age and start nearby.

I just want to remind the Congress Party to be sober, and start from Mauritius. I am afraid that these Congress members will not see it, so I start from British Sikkim. If it is not possible, it can start from British Malaya.

This is all to completely eradicate the hidden dangers of the colony. It is good for everyone, so it is normal for Indians who have not served in the UK for a long time to bear the brunt, including but not limited to, deportation, imprisonment and even massacre.

The members of the National Congress who are looking at the construction plan may never have imagined that the British who are wandering across the sky are considering where it is more appropriate to set off a wave of printing, and give these Indians who want to be independent a blow.

"Why do you have to worry about where to start? It is completely possible to let the free people overthrow the exploitation of the colonial Indians." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, feeling ashamed that he had just fallen into a misunderstanding.

This large-scale construction plan can be said to have condensed all the efforts of the British civil servants in British India. It is meticulous and detailed, and describes the potential of British India in large paragraphs.

After inspecting the current foundation of British India and the assessment of the feasibility of development, every step seems to be impeccable.

The plan is full of professional assessments and encouraging future prospects.

It is a very important macroeconomic and social management tool to set goals and directions for the national economic and social development prospects, and to plan major national construction projects, productivity distribution, important proportions of the national economy, and social undertakings.

There are also paragraphs on bridging religious divisions and balancing the development of various regions. To be honest, in terms of writing alone, the large-scale construction plan before the Congress Party members is even better than the first in the Soviet Union in [-]. The five-year plan needs to be completed.

It can even be said that Alan Wilson is deliberately imitating the Soviet Union's five-year plan. The reason for doing this is naturally that he knows that Nehru himself has been to the Soviet Union and was deeply impressed by the rapid development of the Soviet Union at that time.

This can be seen from the history of Nehru's implementation of the five-year plan to develop the economy in India after India's independence.

The leader of the Congress Party has indeed not forgotten his original intention and tried his best to lead India into a strong country within the scope of permission.

From this point alone, the National Congress Party is better than the Cannon Party, and Nehru, who has been to the Soviet Union, is better than Chang Gong, who has also been to the Soviet Union.

Now that it is known that Nehru has a Soviet complex, this plan is naturally written according to the Soviet Union's five-year plan.Used to seduce Nehru's approval.

Looking at it now, looking at Nehru's serious expression on the plan, it seems that he should have been touched.

It is also not surprising that such a touch occurs. As long as the plan is implemented, there will indeed be some changes in British India.But the premise is based on the existence of British India.

Is the industrial distribution of the Soviet Union strong?From the perspective of confrontation, the Soviet Union led a group of small Eastern European countries to confront the imperialist powers. Of course, the industrial system of the Soviet Union is strong, and no one will deny this.

However, the results after the collapse of the Soviet Union showed that no matter how powerful the industrial system is, it is useless once it faces national collapse.

The draft of the Great Construction Plan alone is already very exciting. Alan Wilson waited quietly for the representatives of the Congress Party to read the general plan, showing great patience.

"It's really strange. In the past 100 years, the British have never seemed to be so sincere." After reading the draft, Nehru said calmly, "Now they are suddenly understanding. What is the reason for this?"

"In the past 100 years or so, the British Empire has not fought two world wars in such a short period of time at the same time. But?" Alan Wilson changed the subject, and the arrogant expression appeared on his face again. We won."

"To be honest, what the British Empire needs at present is to quickly get rid of the wartime state, and prove to the world with an unrivaled posture that even after two world wars, the British Empire is still an invincible country."

Nehru's expression turned pale, apparently disapproving of the young British representative, but he believed that at least part of what this person said was acceptable.

The British Empire before the war was the leader of the whole world, and the British Empire is now only one of the leaders of the world.
