This is enough, and the rest is up to the British civil servants. The agitation and propaganda have begun to warm up the construction of the Kolkata Industrial Zone, and countless funds have been invested in this century project that the Governor's Palace claims.

At the same time, countless orders flew to the British mainland. Stimulated by this news, the British steel industry was first boosted. The Trade Commission of the British-occupied area also began to try to restart the steel companies in the Ruhr area to solve the problem of the British-occupied Germany. the problem of unemployment.

As for the profit, it is controlled by the trade commission and accepts the pricing guidance of the London headquarters.

The two-wing plan to boost the British economy after the war has officially begun!

Chapter 193 Cabinet Mission

"I laugh at the lack of strategy in the United States, and the lack of wisdom in the Soviet Union!" British India has a market and demand, Germany's British-occupied area has an industrial base, and the British mainland has an industrial base and pricing power. Even the UK can be said to be rich. Capital is originally in circulation, but as a country, the UK now owes a lot of foreign debt, which does not mean that British companies are poor.

British India is just the opposite. The people are poor and pee their pants, but the finances of British India are not too bad.

Regardless of the final outcome, the post-war British Empire has already begun its first step in breaking free from the quagmire.

Since the announcement of the large-scale construction plan, almost every day in British Indian newspapers has good news, which is completely opposite to the image of British India in British newspapers.

The newspapers in British India praised the construction project a lot, while the newspapers in the UK emphasized that even at this time, the UK is still caring for these beggars who don't know they are alive.

In the eyes of the citizens of the UK, the UK is at a disadvantage from this large-scale construction plan, and they will soon have to take the bus.

Changes not only occurred in British India, but also in British Malaya, and even the whole of Southeast Asia.

In the final analysis, although the interests of Southeast Asia are not small, compared with the mainland, they are undoubtedly some marginal corners. The new world hegemony, the United States of America, is painstakingly mediating the affairs of East Asia. Compared with a large country of nearly [-] million square kilometers, these marginal corners are basically It's tasteless.

The big head, the United States of America, is ready to take it down. Naturally, it will not be too late to deal with the two old imperialisms that are huddling together to keep warm after the business is done.

The business must not be delayed, otherwise the greedy polar bear next to him might not be able to bear the loneliness.

In Alan Wilson's view, this is a rare respite. The 68 surrendered soldiers of the Japanese Southern Army are currently the best labor force. According to the news sent back through Malaya, the British soldiers who accepted the surrender also expressed their concern for the Japanese soldiers. Surprised by the performance, it is almost a different person from before the surrender.

Alan Wilson also mentioned this kind of performance in his telegram to Malaya. Once the top figures accept the reality, the Japanese will be as docile as Mianyang. Now it is time to start the plan to build British Malaya at the same time. These free The labor force is not in vain.

"Don't have too many projects. I believe that hardworking Japanese soldiers will be able to make up for the damage caused to the British colonies. They can appoint Chinese as managers to check and balance the Japanese. We must emphasize the crimes committed by the Chinese in the Japanese army during the war." .”

In fact, it is nothing more than the British version of using barbarians to control barbarians. This method is used by countries with a bit of history. For nearly 300 years, the British Empire has not only used it, but also used it very well.

Alan Wilson was using this trick in British India, otherwise what would he do to drink tea with Ali Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League.

In the telegram to London, Alan Wilson expressed an optimistic attitude. In the telegram, he wrote, "If we also have nuclear weapons in the UK, we don't need to look at the faces of the United States and the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, we still have to accompany smiling faces. When in 300 years did the British Empire suffer like this?"

It seems that this is just the complaint of a migrant worker, but it can also be regarded as representing a part of the opinion.

Even if no one has noticed this complaint, it doesn’t mean that London will let the current situation go its own way. Not being robbed and having guns are completely different concepts. The British Empire, which just ended the war, is not yet mentally prepared to be a follower of the United States.

Almost before the economic revitalization plan had officially started, Prime Minister Attlee called together British scientists who had returned from the United States, led the secret establishment of the British Atomic Energy Commission, and restarted the alloy tube project under extremely difficult circumstances. Let Britain master its own nuclear weapons.

At this time, with the wings of Germany and British India flying together, the plan to drive the mainland has begun.It made Prime Minister Attlee more determined to promote the alloy tube plan.

Money support is still the biggest bottleneck at present, and Attlee only hopes that the rationing system in the UK can end as soon as possible.

This is also the goal of Alan Wilson's work. After all, local citizens do not have such strong endurance as Indians.

The big event in the UK in January is actually about the first UN General Assembly, which was held in Westminster Central Hall in London, UK, with 51 countries attending.

The United Nations General Assembly adopts the first resolution focusing on the peaceful uses of atomic energy and the elimination of atomic weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.On January [-], the United Nations Security Council held its first meeting in London, England, and adopted the rules of procedure of the Security Council.

At the first United Nations General Assembly in London, atomic weapons dominated the discussion, while at the same time the major powers participating in the General Assembly were secretly working hard to violate WMD resolutions.

The British representative at the United Nations General Assembly did not know that Prime Minister Attlee had personally led the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission. The Soviet representative who also spoke did not know that under the personal care of the Minister of the Interior of the Soviet Union Beria, the Soviet Union concentrated its efforts on developing nuclear bombs and had a different political structure. , countries that have nothing in common, while trying to break the nuclear monopoly of the United States.

As for the agenda on the peaceful use of atomic energy, having said that, some words on the spot will not shake the determination of the two countries.

The first Secretary-General of the United Nations, Trigwe Halfdan Lie, was a politician of the Norwegian Labor Party. He took office as a figure acceptable to all parties. I was born in the Labor Party, sympathetic to the Soviet revolution, and accepted by both Britain and the Soviet Union.

In this way, with the support of the United Kingdom and the opposition of the United States and the Soviet Union, Trigway Halfdan Lie successfully became the first Secretary-General of the United Nations.

However, not all of Lie's inclinations were recognized by the United Kingdom, because the first Secretary-General of the United Nations was very dissatisfied with the inclination towards the Dutch East Indies.

The situation on the British Indian side is much simpler, that is, Dajian, and at the same time, the impeccable New Culture Movement has been proposed from the official articles, and there is no problem from the written articles, all of which are civilized and polite Neutral words for this, it looks like some persuasive work on bad hygiene.

No one takes this kind of written article seriously at all. This is because the Supreme Court of British India has only just begun to promote the part that belongs to judicial officials. Many investigations are still in progress, and it is not yet time to go to war.

Alan Wilson also contacted the commissioners of British Ceylon and British Burma. In fact, under normal circumstances, British Ceylon and British Burma are managed by British India. Of course, this premise is that British India still exists.

In terms of jurisprudence, British Ceylon has never had anything to do with British India. Although British Burma was merged into British India, it has already been separated.It can be managed by the current British India, but it must not be managed by independent India.

When Alan Wilson contacted Donald McLean, he naturally hoped that the New Culture Movement in India could be carried out in British Ceylon. After all, British Ceylon did not have Hindus.

Since there are saints in Hindu temples in British India, there should also be Hindu temples in British Ceylon.

And this can also win the support of Buddhists in Ceylon. The current Ceylon and later Sri Lanka actually have a very high status in Buddhism. From a historical perspective, it is the stronghold of Theravada Buddhism.

Without the existence of Sri Lanka, Buddhism in Southeast Asia, such as Burma and Thailand, probably would not have had much influence.This small country on the edge of the subcontinent has played a huge role in the spread of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.

Hinduism and Buddhism have had periods of hostility and coexistence in the history of the subcontinent.In the process of transformation from early Brahmanism to Hinduism, Hinduism also absorbed many teachings from Buddhism, except for the idea of ​​equality.

In the end, it revived again in the subcontinent, pushing out the once dominant Buddhism from the subcontinent, and proclaiming that Buddha was one of the incarnations of Shiva.

Although the Hindu view that Buddhism is only a form of Hinduism has never been widely accepted by Buddhists in various countries, Alan Wilson still thinks it is better to clarify the difference between the two religions.

At this time, someone needs to pierce the window paper. After the independence of India in the province, Buddhists in other countries were confused.So the attitude of Ceylon, the base camp of Theravada Buddhism, is very important.

When Britain turned Ceylon into British Ceylon, it promised to respect the status of Buddhism.At present, Ceylon still has a majority of Buddhists. Alan Wilson feels that this campaign to declare war on bad habits can be used to make Ceylon reject the influence of Hinduism.

Alan Wilson, who was making intensive preparations for the New Culture Movement, was called to his office by Sir Barron, saying that he could prepare first, but it would not be implemented until the right time.

"Sir, why? What happened." Allen Wilson knew as soon as he heard it that nothing would happen for no reason. Could it be that Sir Barron was pressured and the news leaked?

"Our immediate boss, Sir Persick Lawrence, the Minister of Indian Affairs, led a cabinet mission to accept Prime Minister Attlee's order and prepare to come to British India to investigate and determine its attitude towards British India. During this period of time, I personally think that the stability of British India should be maintained as much as possible.”

Sir Barron nodded slightly, "The minister will definitely meet Nehru and Jinnah. If your new culture movement is implemented at this time, the minister will be very unhappy."

"When will they arrive?" Alan Wilson asked thoughtfully.

"Next month!" Sir Barron raised his wrist to glance at the time, looked straight at Alan Wilson and gave the answer.

Chapter 194 Reception Work Is Important

next month?Alan Wilson thought to himself, if the cabinet mission does not stay in British India for a long time, then there will be no delay. After all, it is an operation involving a large area of ​​land, and it will take a long time to prepare.

Maybe the cabinet mission has left British India, and the operation has just been prepared, so there is no delay.

Undoubtedly, the purpose of the Indian Affairs Minister Persik Lawrence's trip is to inspect the environment of Dajian, and the main purpose is to listen to the opinions of the Congress Party and the Muslim League on the future of India.

"My father has received a transfer order to serve in the Mediterranean Fleet." Pamela Mountbatten came to the Indian Governor's Mansion with a bitter face, and complained to Allen Wilson, "But I don't want to leave India, do you want to talk to my father? Stay here."

After hearing this, Alan Wilson saw that Pamela Mountbatten was a little anxious, so he shook his head and said, "General Mountbatten left, and you stayed in New Delhi?"

"That's it, what do you think?" Pamela Mountbatten said courageously. Obviously, this determination is not so easy to make, "You can't guarantee my safety, can you?"

In fact, what Alan Wilson was afraid of was that he could not guarantee his own safety, not that he could not guarantee the safety of Pamela Mountbatten.

"I'm just worried that there will be no good results in confronting General Mountbatten. She is your father. Considering your age, it is very risky to openly disobey your father's opinion." Alan Wilson reached out and asked Pamela Mountbatten to sit down. He continued, "Actually, to be honest, in this place of British India, it is completely understandable that your father is worried about you staying here. I understand your heart very well, but because you don't want to leave and confront your father, it is No way."

"Do you want me to go?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, staring into Alan Wilson's eyes.

"I don't want to, but I can't ruin your relationship with your father because of this." Alan Wilson is telling the truth, showing that family harmony is still extremely important, and Pamela Mountbatten can't show up in the family regardless of personal relationship issues. contradiction.

Pamela Mountbatten is also hesitant, just as Alan Wilson said, this determination is not easy to make.She was able to muster up the courage to come to the Governor's Mansion, which is considered very brave.

Alan Wilson can't think about things like Pamela Mountbatten. Whether he says it from the heart, he, like the current British India, wants to pursue stability and hopes to be safe.

"It's like you sent me off when I left. I don't think Pamela should refuse me to send you away." Alan Wilson put Pamela Mountbatten on his lap and said affectionately, "We We will meet, let it be a test, maybe we will meet soon."

"I thought we could see each other every day, but I didn't expect my father to be transferred away." Pamela Mountbatten pouted and complained, "Then I can only go with my father now, can you Work hard and stay safe."

"Of course, safety is the most important thing." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and swore to Pamela Mountbatten.

A year later, the roles of Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten were reversed. The destination was still Mumbai, still by boat, but the roles of seeing off were reversed.

Compared with General Mountbatten himself, who was happily preparing to leave British India, Pamela Mountbatten looked unhappy.Allen Wilson, who came from New Delhi to see him off, could only persuade the girl who was about to leave to be happier.

Seeing his daughter's unhappy appearance, General Mountbatten became happier and enjoyed his new life in the Mediterranean Fleet. As for the little unhappiness in front of him, General Mountbatten no longer cared about it. I can always figure it out.

"It's not that I haven't been separated before, it's just a test. Didn't I leave for more than half a year when I returned to Europe last time? True feelings should stand the test of time." In another carriage, Alan Wilson was still with Pam Ramon Barton is tired of being together and is about to go to Mumbai.

At this time in history, an important reason why the British cabinet mission came to British India was that there was an uprising of Indian sailors in Mumbai, and it was sailors again. It seems that many sparks started from sailors.

The Indian sailors in the Mumbai training camp staged an uprising against the racial discrimination of British officers. The uprising soon caused a mutiny among the entire Indian sailors. There was a parade of 20 people in Mumbai to support the sailors against British rule.

The United Nations Major Party and the Muslim League in the Governor's Office of British India took turns to quell the incident with great difficulty.

But at present, Mumbai is still calm, and there is no shadow of the uprising.Mumbai is of course responsible for announcing the large-scale construction plan. As the most important port in British India, Mumbai's real estate plan still has some appeal.

Before General Mountbatten left, Alan Wilson took the daughter route for the last time and asked General Mountbatten to issue a restraining order to the British troops stationed in India. Simply put, it prohibits racial discrimination and has been issued to all major cities in India. Among the military bases, I don't know if it is useful, but it was announced anyway.

"Actually, I am not opposed to Pamela's contact with you." General Mountbatten, who arrived in Mumbai and was about to embark on his return journey, also put on a high profile and said to Alan Wilson, "But Pamela is still young in age. Some, if I was two years older, I would never stop them. Oh, of course I am not stopping them now. The transfer order was issued by the London government. In fact, I love this land very much and I don’t want to leave. But as a soldier, I have to obey. The call of the country, this is the unshirkable responsibility of the military."

Allen Wilson looked serious, listening to General Mountbatten's high-profile teaching, he was not surprised, would a responsible soldier soar a warship?The commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Allied Forces in front of him is almost catching up with the time to sit in New Delhi when he is on vacation in British Ceylon.

Even sitting in New Delhi is due to Alan Wilson himself. Since he got to know Pamela Mountbatten, General Mountbatten's vacation time has decreased significantly.

"The general is right." With Pamela on the side, Alan Wilson couldn't be too weak, straightened his back and agreed with the style of painting, "I also think that from the perspective of living conditions, it is still London is more suitable for Pamela's studies, but British India's education is still not as good. Once I finish my work, I will definitely find time to go back and see her."

Alan Wilson said that his big licking dog has no plans to let go, and that as long as he has the opportunity, he will still find Pamela Mountbatten.

But seeing that they will be separated by half a world, General Mountbatten is not worried. How could it be so easy to meet, and said relaxedly, "Then Alan, you have to try to transfer away as soon as possible, the distance is still far away."

"Give the intelligence analysis I gave you to your mother." Alan Wilson saw that the ship was about to set off, and finally impressed Pamela Mountbatten, and asked Pamela Mountbatten to report on the U.S. stock market after returning to London. Intelligence analysis, taught to his mother.

Pamela Mountbatten's mother was born in a wealthy businessman, and she is not disgusted with money. Alan Wilson, who also went back to Europe, has already had a good impression in front of his mother-in-law. If the analysis is truthfully handed over to the mother-in-law, it will be able to strengthen Alan Wilson's position.

Moreover, Maharaja Ali Khan has a special person to take care of him in London. The most important thing is that Ali Khan has money. When the time comes, he will go through the needle and provide some money for Edwina Ashley to enter the US stock market. That will not be a problem.

In this way, friendship can also be established through money, so that Edwina Ashley is naturally inclined to the interests of the Tubang, at least it can reduce the chance of inclination to Nehru.

From this point of view, Mountbatten should even thank himself for preventing Nehru from poaching Mountbatten's corner.

"Although I feel sad, the time to part with British India has come." General Mountbatten heard the whistle blowing, looked back at British India with a knowing smile, and said with emotion.

After the performance, I love this land so deeply that General Mountbatten took his reluctant daughter aboard.

"Sooner or later, I have to come back to clean up the mess. Why is it as if I have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering?" Alan Wilson watched the ship set sail, raised the corner of his mouth, moved his shoulders and asked the assistant, "John is just in Mumbai, don't make him wait gone."

The Junagadh State Commissioner is still waiting for him. Alan Wilson will not return to New Delhi in the next few days. After passing by the plane and ship, the cabinet mission is already at sea, and it will arrive in Mumbai in about a few days.

The departure of General Mountbatten was a matter of front and back, and Alan Wilson also represented the civil servants of British India to welcome the arrival of the Minister of Indian Affairs in British India.

Alan Wilson and John also entered the British military base in Mumbai, expressing India's desire for a better tomorrow.Demonstrating the vision of the Governor-General of India to fight discrimination against Indian soldiers.

After talking nonsense about the contributions of Indian soldiers in World War II, the trip to the army is considered to be over.

"Will the private army of Junagadh be mixed with anti-British elements?" Alan Wilson asked when he was dining with John, the commissioner of Junagadh, "Have you reminded Salaman Khan?" , you should be careful about the supporters of the National Congress Party in the army, this kind of thing has always been better than killing one by mistake, otherwise, when something happens, the Majesty will already regret it."

"In what name?" John asked while pouring wine, "And most of the Tubang troops are peace believers, so it shouldn't happen."

"Most are still not enough, it's better to be all. I remember that in the Middle Ages, the Ottomans launched a jihad and it was quite scary." Alan Wilson said with a glass of thanks, "Once the Minister of Indian Affairs arrives, be careful, although the Minister is the most It's the feminist movement that's in the know, and we shouldn't take it lightly."

Chapter 195 Indian Wealth Code

"If you are very familiar with the feminist movement, it has a lot to do with the New Culture Movement you advocate. Alan!" John's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly, and said with a clear smile, "It might be you help."

Alan Wilson showed a thoughtful look on his face, as if, probably, as if, what the Junagadh State Commissioner in front of him said made sense.

Although Persick Lawrence, as the Minister of Indian Affairs, can be said to be a layman, he is good at advocating women's rights. If he can guide him, he may be able to help the New Culture Movement.

Although Alan Wilson had no contact with feminists of this era, he didn't know what they were thinking.But in the place of British India, even if you are not a feminist, you are qualified to judge.

"It seems that I should redouble my efforts." Alan Wilson picked up the wine glass knowingly, and touched the Junagadh State Commissioner, skipped the matter, and asked about the recent work, especially It is how the maharajas of the local states recently viewed the British India construction plan.

The National Congress Party of course welcomes it, and the Muslim League only verbally opposes it. So what is the attitude of the long-standing allies of the British Empire and the local states?

"Salaman Khan didn't show any inclination. After all, this matter has nothing to do with the state. But Alan, aren't you afraid that this kind of move will lead to an imbalance of power? Once the Calcutta industrial zone is completed, the province and the state will be separated. The comparison of strength between the two will be even more unbalanced." John frowned and said, "Of course I have no intention of opposing this, after all, this project is needed locally."

Is it a contrast imbalance, or a rebalance?It's not sure what it will turn into in the end!

However, Alan Wilson cannot always say that the Muslim League will collapse in the Kolkata industrial zone.If it spreads out, wouldn't it be unfair to the majority of peace believers in British India?

Alan Wilson cannot do this. As a pure assistant commissioner, he must ensure that the bowl of water is level, especially the interests of minorities, which is in line with the British tradition in the subcontinent.

However, this dinner was rewarding. Without John's reminder, Alan Wilson hadn't expected to get support in the field that the Minister of Indian Affairs is good at.

Before World War I, the feminist movement in the UK was mainly about fighting for suffrage. Due to the development of the British Industrial Revolution, more women participated in industrial labor and social activities, and first launched a campaign for political rights.

At the same time, the "Women's Suffrage League" led by Mrs. Fawcett opposed the use of violence in political campaigns and advocated the adoption of legal methods of struggle, believing that only in this way can women's suffrage be achieved.

And the current Minister of Indian Affairs, Persick Lawrence, is amazing at this point. He even knows all kinds of feminist activists from before World War I to the present, and he is completely an expert in liberating women.

Only God knows how Pesik Lawrence became the current Minister of Indian Affairs, but Alan Wilson, who is waiting in Mumbai, is ready to chat with the Minister of Indian Affairs about women's liberation, as long as there is this British India The leader of the government has approved it, and after the cabinet mission leaves, it can be launched vigorously, and the teacher is well-known.

On February [-], the cabinet mission headed by the Minister of Indian Affairs, Sir Persick Lawrence, finally arrived at Mumbai, the most excellent port city in British India, after a long journey.
