British civil servant

Long before Pesik-Lawrence arrived in British India, all walks of life in British India were looking forward to the trip of the cabinet mission sent this time. Unlike history, the Mumbai sailor uprising did not happen.

Since Alan Wilson arrived in British India, there has been a huge change in propaganda. Different places have different emphasis on this kind of propaganda. Take British India as an example, it is impossible for a broad illiterate population to talk about science.

The assistant commissioner, who was inspired by the Modi old fairy in India, felt that he had found the wealth code of British India. In the final analysis, in one sentence, our India is too powerful!

Based on the "Mahabharata" scriptures, he concocted a batch of remarks that seem very anti-intellectual, but will definitely be accepted by the illiterate Hindus, including but not limited to, "cosmetic surgery" in ancient India, The elephant-headed god was created by transplanting the head of an elephant to a human body with plastic surgery.And Indians have already invented airplanes.

It is not enough to just be anti-intellectual, and some real contributions must be added to it to achieve the effect that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The world's first heliocentric theory - from "Aliya Vita", the most famous medical works are "Sheraka Ben Ji" and "Wonderful Wen Ji Ji", which are the earliest herbal medicine books in history.

Buddhist scriptures say that things exist for only one moment, and are replaced by copies of themselves in the next moment.This is similar to the frame-by-frame playback in current film technology.

Therefore, adhering to our Alan Wilson, who is too powerful in India, this is the ironclad proof that India invented movies.

Since the beginning of the New Year, newspapers that have been controlled by the hostile British Governor-General of India have seen a surge in sales, and have even caused a wave of Indian newspapers everywhere. They are good at finding certain records similar to modern society from ancient classics. This is to prove the greatness of ancient India.

At this time, the so-called sober people are traitors in the eyes of many Indians. Obviously our India is so great, and some people have low self-esteem.

As for how the peace believers view the performance of the Hindus, this is beyond Alan Wilson's guess.

After the cabinet mission led by Pesik Lawrence arrived in Mumbai, it was warmly welcomed by the citizens of Mumbai. The number of citizens welcomed was close to 20.It is hard to imagine that at the same time in real history, the same 20 Mumbai citizens were marching to support the uprising of the Mumbai sailors.

History is so marvelous that even Persik Lawrence, a veteran supporter of the women's emancipation movement and now Secretary of State for British India, was taken aback by what he saw.

"It seems that what Sir Barron said in the telegram is correct. The current situation in British India is very peaceful. But why do soldiers always mutiny?" Persick Lawrence faced Alan Wilson who came to greet him asked.

"Dear minister, this is not contradictory." Alan Wilson pondered for a while and said in the organizational language, "The current real situation in British India is indeed that dangers and opportunities coexist. All we can do is try to prevent things from becoming irreversible. In the end, let British India contribute as much as possible to the United Kingdom, but no one knows how much time there will be to support the mainland."

"There is always news of mutiny among soldiers. These Indian soldiers and the British Empire are no longer of one mind. Although there has not been a mutiny that spread and cannot be contained, the danger exists, and I don't know when it will happen."

"As for the attitudes of the two biggest forces, the Congress Party and the Muslim League, I can only tell the minister the real situation before I meet with the leaders of the two forces." Facing Indian Minister Persik Lawrence, Alan Wilson Introducing the current real situation in British India, "It's hard to say what is the specific difference between the two parties, because in the pursuit of independence, the two are consistent, but they are temporarily blinded by the construction plan."

"That is to say, in the long run, British India is bound to become independent?" Persick Lawrence lowered his voice and asked in a solemn tone, "Is it really inevitable?"

"I think the minister will know when Nehru and Ali Jinnah come, and his attitude is much firmer than what I said." Alan Wilson said helplessly, "At present, we are just constantly releasing news to attract the attention of ordinary people. Attention, the majority of Indians are caught up in fake news, but how long this will last, it’s really hard to say.”

Persick Lawrence was interested and asked Alan Wilson what the specific method was?Then he regretted it, adhering to our assistant commissioner who is too powerful in India, saying that India invented the telephone, invented the movie, invented the airplane, and at the same time a variety of religions emerged, leading the world in heart and soul.

Persick Lawrence was taken aback. It was hard to imagine that Alan Wilson, who had acted very decently just now, would say such anti-intellectual words. It was not the first time he had seen Alan Wilson. I saw this civil servant who was about to return to British India. At that time, Alan Wilson was well behaved and impressive. How could it be like this?

"The Indians also believe it?" Persick Lawrence asked in disbelief, "What are they thinking about?"

"Many Indians don't even know they're alive, so it's not surprising that such a simple mind has such wishful thinking." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "The effect is very good. The glorious history of India has already It has resonated with many Indians, but in the long run, it will only make Indians more inflated, and the short-term effect will only make life more difficult in the future."

But now there is no good way, only to take the method of diverting the contradiction.Allen, the papermaker, has done everything he can.Perhaps knowing that the Minister of Indian Affairs does not like to hear this topic, Alan Wilson turned to something lighter

After turning around and turning around, it slowly shifted to the very expert topic of Persick Lawrence, emancipating women.

"Is Allen also interested in protecting women's rights?" Persick Lawrence was indeed aroused, and he is good at this topic.

"From Paris to Bonn, and then to British India, my caring heart for women is always with me." Alan Wilson replied solemnly with a serious face.

Chapter 196 India on the Wire

When it comes to women's rights, Persick-Lawrence obviously speaks more, unlike when he mentions Indian affairs, because he really understands women's rights.

Of course, Alan Wilson has not forgotten the two ministers, the Minister of Commerce Stave Cripps and the Secretary of the Navy Alexander, for example, the Minister of Commerce Stave Cripps has long had a very deep relationship with the aristocratic circle in London well-connected.

The Secretary of the Navy, Alexander, was more concerned about Indian affairs, and the questions he asked were all related to the current situation in British India. Alan Wilson did not delay any of them, and explained all the concerns of these three ministers. .

Of course, it is undeniable that Alan Wilson's main energy is still on Persick Lawrence, because Persick Lawrence is the Minister of Indian Affairs and the head of the civil servants in British India in name.

All three Labor politicians, with the exception of the Admiralty, Persick-Lawrence and Stafford Cripps, who have long been in the navy, have had trajectories that have little bearing on their current departments.

However, the three people came to British India, which is enough to show the importance that the Labor Party government attaches to British India.

Out of selfishness, Alan Wilson's reception work inevitably has a certain focus, and the main energy is still on the immediate superior. There is no way, who will let the expert in protecting women's rights, the current Minister of Indian Affairs, be very concerned about the new culture movement that is brewing? Useful.

Although Persick-Lawrence is good at protecting women's rights, it doesn't mean that he can't cheat in this regard.In fact, it is not deceitful. It is precisely because of Persick Lawrence's expertise in women's rights that it is possible to achieve Alan Wilson's goal.

Because Pesik-Lawrence itself has eaten a lot of benefits of protecting women's rights, this reminds Alan Wilson of one thing, that is how the laws of the caste system emerged.

Although the caste system has existed in the subcontinent for a long time, there is no law to legalize this system.In fact, the caste system was written into the law by the British.

The British Lord Chancellor seriously believes that it is necessary to formulate a law for India that is in line with India's national conditions.

So after learning about the caste system, the whole of India was asked to investigate the castes. After the official investigation involved thousands of castes, the survey results from all over the country continued to be sent over.He felt a headache, so he directly divided the list castes.

When Britain first added the caste system to the law, it also stated that it was a move to suit India's national conditions. Will Indians object to it?

Of course not, because the assistants of the chief judges in British India are all high castes in India, either Brahmins or Kshatriyas. Of course, this high caste cheered for this, and even ruled out many obstacles to the promulgation of the law.

So regardless of morality or not, Persick-Lawrence will definitely support the protection of women's rights, even if it is implemented in British India, because it is in the interests of Persick-Lawrence himself.

After a long journey, the train carrying the three local ministers arrived in New Delhi. This depends on the developed railway network of British India. To be honest, the current British Indian Railway is much better than the Indian Railway. At least the current Indian Railway is still relatively new.

After arriving in New Delhi, the Governor's Office of India immediately arranged a welcome ceremony, and then announced the arrival of three local ministers in New Delhi, preparing to listen carefully to the voices of all walks of life in British India and propose solutions.

As soon as the news came out, all walks of life in British India were cheered. It seemed that from the beginning of the war to [-], with the end of the war, all the Indians saw was good news, and London finally took seriously the voice of the Indian people.

In fact, things are not so simple. After the three ministers met with representatives of the Congress Party, Muslim League and other forces, the three of Persik-Lawrence understood that the situation in British India was indeed very complicated.

What Alan Wilson said on the train about the turbulent undercurrent in British India is definitely not lying. It is really hard to say how long the current method of diverting conflicts will confuse Indians.

One person cannot fail to be mentioned first, and that is Ali Jinnah.The current Ali Jinnah is indeed a paranoid racist, and firmly believes that peace believers must never live in the same country as Hindus.

But Ali Jinnah in his early years was a relatively staunch nationalist.This transformation of Ali Jinnah is largely related to the attitude and practice of Gandhi and the Congress Party under his leadership towards him and the Muslim League.Ali Jinnah set foot in Indian politics before Gandhi, and had great influence.

He has advocated Indian nationalism on many occasions, and advocated the unity and cooperation of Hindus and Muslims.Although he was born as a peace believer, he joined the Congress Party in his early years and served as the secretary of the party chairman Naoroji, drafting speeches for him.

In his speech, he called on the people of India, regardless of creed and class, to unite.True unity of the two religions is necessary for the emancipation of all Indians.

Without this unity, all efforts for liberation will be in vain.During World War I, Ali Jinnah had been working on the unity of the two religions.

Ali Jinnah's Muslim League was originally only one of the larger political groups of the Peace Church, and its strength was relatively limited.

However, with the subsequent transformation of the Congress Party, the Muslim League and the Congress Party began to part ways. Gandhi is a standard image of Hindus. Gandhi's abstinence, non-killing, hunger strike, and non-violent behavior can all be seen. The influence of traditional Hinduism.

The use of religious symbols and ceremonies, while energizing traditional Hindu masses in freedom movements, did not command the sympathy of peaceful believers.

Under the leadership of Gandhi, the Congress Party showed itself more and more as a Hindu. For this reason, Gandhi proposed that Ali Jinnah withdraw from the Congress Party. This had a huge impact on Ali Jinnah’s perception of the unity of the two religions. .

After the elections in British India in [-], Ali Jinnah proposed to form a coalition government, but the National Congress Party, which won because of the superiority of Hindus, rejected Ali Jinnah's proposal.

The Congress Party rejected Ali Jinnah again and again, and finally made the leader of the Peace Church who entered the political arena earlier than Gandhi, and began to only care about the feelings of the Peace Church. The Muslim League under the leadership quickly integrated with all the Peace Church. It became the second national political party in British India.

And when Ali Jinnah had a leader like Chandra Bose in the Congress Party, when he voted for the Axis powers.Firmly supporting the Governor-General of British India and expanding his influence, he has become a unique spokesperson in the eyes of the Peace Christians.

During their meetings with the Muslim League and the National Congress, the cabinet delegation deeply realized that the two religions are almost incompatible, but both are pursuing the independence of British India.

What the Muslim League pursues is to establish an independent country, while what the Congress Party pursues is to receive all the heritage of British India.

This surprised the three ministers of the cabinet mission. In terms of attitude, the Muslim League is a bit tougher, but in terms of ambition, it is obvious that the National Congress Party is better.

After meeting with both political parties, the three of Persick-Lawrence realized that Alan Wilson was right. The current conflict has not yet broken out, and it will actually happen sooner or later.

"Except for the astonishing agreement between the two parties on the issue of independence, there is no agreement in other aspects. In the eyes of the Mumeng League, the Chinese major parties are all jerks. Of course, in the eyes of the National Congress Party, the Mumeng League is also the same." Speaking of this, Business Secretary Staff Cripps lamented, "The least divisive was the Kolkata industrial estate plan, which was supported by the Congress Party and which the Muslim League would not comment on."

"It can now be concluded that the reports of British India have always been accurate. We have to praise the work of British Indian civil servants. It is simply dancing on the edge of a cliff." Persick Lawrence directed at the Secretary of the Navy Albert Alexander , "Alexander, what do you think of this matter? We must admit that we did underestimate the internal contradictions in British India just a few days before we arrived in India. It can now be seen that most of the Congress supports the independence of British India. Members of parliament who belong to the integrity of India are still too optimistic."

"It's not just optimistic. Judging by the attitude of the Muslim League, they are almost ready for civil war." Alexander shook his head and smiled wryly, "Why don't you call the person in charge of the Governor's Mansion to ask about it?"

Not long after, Alan Wilson pushed the door open, then bent slightly to let Sir Barron in, then closed the door and stood behind Sir Barron.

Listen to how the chief of the civil service in British India deals with these three cabinet ministers.I yawned from time to time!

"Alan, you don't seem to be resting well?" Persick Lawrence saw Alan Wilson's abnormality and asked.

"Yesterday I was thinking about how to protect the rights and interests of Indian women, and I slept a little late." Alan Wilson politely answered the question from the Minister of British Indian Affairs.

In fact, Alan Wilson was indeed working, but he was the busiest thing yesterday.It is a reasonable conjecture about the nuclear war in ancient India to prove the superiority of ancient Indian civilization.

Of course, this is not suitable for this occasion, to report to the three ministers of the cabinet mission, otherwise it is likely to be regarded as crazy.

When it comes to drafting a draft on women's protection in India, it is obvious that there is too much to say.And it can also be recognized by Persick Lawrence.

"Protecting women's rights is of course important. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Persick Lawrence looked like I was an expert. sentence.

"The relationship between the Muslim League and the National Congress seems to be incompatible with each other, isn't it?"

"As the ministers have seen, this is the case at present." Sir Baron said indifferently, "unless a miracle happens."

Chapter 197 Imperial Quest

"The fact that the rhetoric of the two parties is not fierce is at least not bad. In fact, if we set the goal of delaying time, we may have expected a lot better."

When asked about the solution, Alan Wilson spread his hands and said that he had no choice but to delay time and try to find something to do for the two religions.

To be honest, what Britain is doing in British India now is actually similar to what the United States is doing in East Asia. They are mediating two parties to form a coalition government. This is also the purpose of the three cabinet ministers coming to British India.

However, the majority of MPs in London to make British India independent think of two religions in one country.Now the three cabinet ministers have understood that this is almost impossible.The Muslim League has no interest in the coalition government at all, and what it pursues is to establish a country that has nothing to do with Hindus.

As long as the attitude of the Muslim League does not change, the split of British India once independent will become a foregone conclusion.

"It seems impossible to preserve the integrity of British India!" Persick Lawrence sighed. "The domestic parliamentarians still have hope for this, so we declare that the mediation has failed?"

"If the goal is to procrastinate as much as possible, there is no need to rush to announce it." Sir Barron suggested, "We are a democratic country, and we must reserve the right of anyone to speak. In fact, if the Muslim League and the National The major parties feel that there is not enough talk in New Delhi, and they can continue to go to London for public debate."

"It's best to go by boat, and you can delay some time." Alan Wilson suggested in a low voice, "Arranging representatives of the two parties to make a turn along the way, so that it will take at least a few months to go back and forth, and Dear ministers, you can listen to a wide range of opinions in British India, wait until the minister leaves with sincerity, and then arrange for the two parties to go to London, so a year may pass soon."

"You can give some nominal sweetness, such as arranging representatives of the two parties, arranging an opportunity to observe the United Nations meeting, pretending that they have implemented independence and are adapting to the role of a country."

"For a long time, India has been an auxiliary force for the British Empire to control the African colonies. There are many expatriates in many African colonies. Representatives of the two parties can be arranged. During the process of going to London, the local expatriates can meet and do something. Speeches or something can waste at least another month."

Sir Barron and Alan Wilson sang together, centered on the central idea of ​​finding trouble for the two parties in British India, and continued to make suggestions to divert conflicts, and the three cabinet ministers were taken aback for a while.

Anyway, the colony of British India is big enough, and we must be good at using this potential to turn the affairs of British India into the colonies of the entire British Empire and all Indian immigrants. If there is too much water, add noodles, and if there are too many noodles, add water, and so on. , it is not easy to delay for a year.

The three cabinet ministers who originally thought that the mission had failed, after listening to the words of the two civil servants, seemed to make some sense after careful consideration. Anyway, the matter has not reached the point of irreversibility. Since it is such a big matter of independence, it is necessary to carry out a few more It is quite normal to have a debate and listen carefully to some opinions.

"But wouldn't the consequences be worse if the two parties were allowed to go to other colonies and spread the trend of independence?" Persick-Lawrence suddenly said, "If India's independence has a demonstration effect, it will not be worth the candle."

"As the accomplices of the colonial government of the British Empire, the Indians must be rejected by the locals. In fact, we can set off a wave of printing and divert the attention of the Indians." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "This move is very important. The necessity lies in the widespread distribution of Indian immigrants, and we can do this in any British colony, which can be regarded as making the Congress Party or the Muslim League sober, but for the sake of order in the colonies, it is better to find an isolated place to try it out.”

"What place is suitable for such an operation!" Secretary of the Navy Alexander asked Alan Wilson.

"The place is small, the situation is easy to control, and it can also give Indians a warning. How about Mauritius? Personally, I think it is very suitable. You can also use the mixed descendants of Europeans and Africans, Creoles." Alan Wilson is confident and confident about this. There is no psychological burden for this kind of attention.

It is an island country in eastern Africa, located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, about [-] kilometers away from Madagascar and [-] kilometers away from the African continent.As a volcanic island country, Mauritius is surrounded by coral reefs. The landforms on the island are varied, with narrow plains along the coast and plateau mountains in the middle, with many mountains and isolated peaks.

First of all, this island is small in size, with a total area of ​​only [-] square kilometers. As an archipelago, it is very easy to control a country like the British Empire, which is known for its sea power.

Although the area is small, the population is already quite large, and the total population of the archipelago has exceeded 20.It is mainly divided into two ethnic groups. The descendants of Indians and Pakistanis are the main body, accounting for more than half of the total population. Creoles, who are a mixture of European and African, account for less than one-third of the population. The proportion is also very suitable for carrying out play off.

Alan Wilson even believes that it is completely reasonable for a small island country like Mauritius not to become independent as an overseas province of the British Empire. As for the impact of foreign population, the biggest impact on the formation of foreign population in the UK is Indians.

Compared with Indian immigrants, any ethnic group does not have a demographic impact on the UK.

Seeing the incomprehensible faces of Persick and Lawrence, Secretary of the Navy Alexander explained, "It's a French-speaking island in the southern Indian Ocean, and Creole is a French dialect, but the Indians we immigrated to It's English."

After hearing the words of the Secretary of the Navy, Persick and Lawrence finally understood, and asked, "Then you must control your strength, otherwise the French will gain the upper hand again, and it will be worse than it is now."

What time is it, have you not forgotten today's insult to the law?Alan Wilson was helpless to the three cabinet ministers in front of him.

"If the situation is unavoidable, you can try it." As the Minister of the Navy, Alexander was more decisive than the other two ministers, and he didn't mind using some small means to make the Indians sober.

Up to now, the three cabinet ministers have at least one consensus, that is, the two parties in British India are very hostile, and it is impossible to maintain the unity of British India, which is overwhelmingly spoken by the domestic Congress.

With this psychological preparation, the time delay mentioned by Sir Barron and Alan Wilson is not a bad idea.

So what the three of Persick-Lawrence are thinking now is to smile, listen to opinions, and act in a friendly manner, but say that all decisions are not in their own hands, and they will stay in British India for a few months. The major parties and the Muslim League sent representatives to London for negotiations, trying to maximize the inefficiency of the electoral country and buy time for British India to drain funds.

Although this idea is very ungentlemanly, the Indians did it first and rejected the sincere mediation of the British Empire, so they must be responsible for the following series of consequences.

The idea was clear, and the three cabinet ministers were not tired, but began to enjoy the trip to British India.Doing your job well and creating an image of being close to the people is like conducting an election.

The three cabinet ministers who arrived in British India, as well as the entire cabinet mission, began to show pro-people behaviors towards Indians. Of course, they were not as shameless as Alan Wilson, who dared to deduct any honor from Hinduism.

But it is inevitable to say something. Hinduism is the spiritual wealth of mankind. Every time a word is spoken, it will cause word of mouth among Indians.

As for Alan Wilson and Indian Affairs Minister Persick Lawrence, they have nothing to discuss about how to protect the rights and interests of women.

Although I was already prepared to start with the Hindu saint in my heart, I couldn't say it in front of Persick Lawrence. Instead, I asked Persick Lawrence to introduce his own glorious history in protecting women's rights. See if you can learn any useful experience.

"With all due respect, minister, based on the current basis of British India, some methods may not be implemented." Alan Wilson suggested solemnly, "Of course we can't use coercive means like the past that wiped out widows' self-immolation."

Persick-Lawrence looked blank, Alan Wilson knew that the Minister of Indian Affairs in front of him did not know that Britain had taken drastic measures against the self-immolation of Indian widows, and introduced the situation at that time.

Even the means of shooting, Persik Lawrence knew that it turned out that the Indian Governor's Palace had done this kind of thing.

"Of course this kind of method must be avoided. We cannot allow the Americans or the Soviets to attack the British Empire." As a minister, Persick-Lawrence is still sensitive, which involves his political life.

"Then we have to use a very gentle method. It should be used in the form of art to let the Indian people know that this is wrong, and to arouse people's awareness of the protection of women. It is best to express it through movies, but there must be a national Only idols can have this kind of appeal." Allen Wilson said word by word, "There is no actor in British India who has such appeal. I hope this actor can show kindness, intelligence, beauty, etc."
