British civil servant

"Alan, although this is a good thing, it also proves that our good days are not long." Sir Barron said with nostalgia, "Maybe there is no place like British India that can accommodate ten people." Thousands of civil servants working for the country."

"Eh!" Alan Wilson didn't know this interface. He had to agree with Sir Barron's view that there really was no such place other than British India. It was nothing more than a series of mergers of British Africa.

"Alan, you are well aware that government departments must have some way of measuring their success. British companies measure their success by their profits, or, more accurately, their failures by their losses. We have no profits , and there is nothing to lose, our achievements are measured by the number of employees and the size of the budget."

The budget is also rich, but the mainland has no money, so we can only find a way from the colonies.Allen Wilson can only hope that the Japanese prisoners of war in Malaya will show their subjective initiative and build up acceptable hardware facilities first. With these hardware facilities, are they afraid that there will be not enough people?

Although the total population of British Malaya is only about 500 million, but China in the north and Indonesia in the south, where is the lack of people?A slight deregulation is the influx of immigrants.

The budget is really helpless, and the United States is indeed strong now, and it has been confirmed through the Breston Forest system.

But with the Breston Woods system, it does not mean that the US dollar cannot be resisted. The US dollar has this status. In the final analysis, it is bound to gold to have this value.That is, the Braston Forest system is also based on the value of gold.

This is not the same thing as petrodollars, other currencies are exchanged for dollars for gold, not for that paper money.

In the Breston system, if an American travels to other countries, he also needs to exchange the currencies of other countries. When going to the United Kingdom, he will exchange for pounds, for France, he will exchange for francs, and for Germany, he will exchange for marks.

In the Breston Woods system, the United States also needs to maintain foreign exchange reserves, and it is much larger than the symbolic ratio after the emergence of petrodollars. The currencies of European countries all have monetary value.

Because these countries also use gold as currency credit, they can also be exchanged for gold at any time.

The Breston Woods system has determined the status of the US dollar as a world currency, but it also checks and balances the US dollar.

It really makes the currencies of other countries unable to compete with the U.S. dollar. After the emergence of the petrodollar, the U.S. dollar has been completely turned into a harvesting weapon, and it is constantly shearing sheep all over the world.But that was already in the 70s!

It also depends on whether the British Empire can be restored. If not, everything is nonsense.If you can still maintain a good strength, who said that the British Empire can't teach Nizi a lesson?

Alan Wilson didn't know that his mother-in-law's family had already wandered in the British-occupied area of ​​Germany. According to the plan he gave Pamela Mountbatten, they were buying German companies during the war.

If Assistant Allen knew, he might be anxious not to let the two dragoons and the mother-in-law's family run into each other.

But now he has a serious face, and all the civil servants of the Governor's Palace lined up, with a serious face and a happy heart to send off the cabinet mission to leave New Delhi and return to the mainland. That's where the minister should stay.

Until the three cabinet ministers left the Governor's Mansion, everyone dispersed and started to work on their own affairs. It can be seen that people leave the tea to cool down, but the ministers should have nothing to complain about, and the achievements have been given to them.With the influx of money, Prime Minister Attlee wouldn't blame them.

Now, everyone can put their hearts back into their stomachs and start to get down to business.The first business is the announcement of the establishment of the British Indian Film Actors Association.

The report pointed out that Indian film is still in its infancy, and there are still many things to learn from advanced international experience. Therefore, under the democratic principles of openness, fairness and justice, British actor Vivien Leigh was selected as the honorary president of the British Indian Film Actors Association.

There will be no president in a short period of time, and six vice presidents will be set up to handle the affairs of the association, but they must be checked by the commissioner appointed by the Governor's Mansion, that is, Alan Wilson himself, to prevent actors with dangerous thoughts from mixing into it.

As a commissioner of the British Indian Film Actors Association, no one competed with Alan Wilson for this position. In the final analysis, the oil and water are very limited. The current British Indian civil servants have no time to think about bullshit love stories. They all want to make money.

Moreover, civil servants do not need to be famous. Unlike ministers, the lower the presence of civil servants, the better. This is a common rule in the world. Becoming a commissioner of this private association may increase exposure, which must be avoided as much as possible.

Vivien Leigh, who was working as an Indian daughter in Chennai, confirmed the news from Alyssa's mouth. The stone fell to the ground in her heart. She gave her body just for this result, but it's not a loss, that guy Allen is still quite good Enthusiastic.

"Miss Vivienne, I want you to participate in the shooting of a documentary for a while, and you may not be able to leave India yet." Alyssa looked at the absent-minded Vivien Leigh and said, "The film is supported by the Governor's Office of India. The glorious image in front of me was specifically explained by the assistant commissioner."

"I'm ready." Vivien Leigh raised her head slightly, expressing that she was waiting for that day to come.

Whether you can transform from a famous actor to a famous female image depends on this time.This is why Vivien Leigh traveled across the ocean to British India. In order to make this dream come true, she even opened her legs to a boy.

The other party concerned is dealing with the clean India campaign that the Minister of Indian Affairs is most concerned about. "After calculating the time, the minister should have arrived in the Arabian Sea. We can also think about it and deal with matters that judicial officials are very concerned about. Now everyone Gearing up, eager to try, wanting to bring fairness and justice to the world."

The Supreme Court of British India, Chief Justice Clark, came to the Governor's Mansion with a compassionate expression but had to calm down the evils of the world, and talked with Sir Barron about the importance of clarifying the rule of law.

"Call Allen over here." Sir Barron picked up the phone and directed the secretary in the reception room opposite the microphone.

After a while, Alan Wilson came to Sir Barron's office, greeted Chief Judge Clark, and already had a premonition of what was going to happen next.

Clark quickly confirmed Alan Wilson's premonition. Now that the ministers have left, everyone should do something serious, such as fulfilling the previous promise and letting judicial officials join the last supper.

"If you do it rashly, the Ken side will cause a certain backlash." Seeing Clark's slightly changed face, Alan Wilson immediately changed the subject, "Judge Clark, I just want to increase the success rate. I thought of a place that can be more logical We can shirk our responsibilities, and at the same time transfer conflicts.”

"Where?" Clark asked patiently. He thought that these despicable administrative officials had changed their minds and were going to leave the judicial officials aside to eat alone.

"The British Ceylon where Commissioner McLean is located, [-]% of the population of British Ceylon is Buddhist, so that the majority of Hindus will not be offended, and the matter is completely within the controllable range. Once the dirty facts of the Hindu temple It was exposed. If there is controversy, we take advantage of the trend and act in British India, so that even the National Congress Party cannot openly trouble us. In this way, we can not only maintain justice, but also avoid trouble.”

"The most important thing is that the risks belong to British Ceylon. Even if the Indians want to get angry, there is nothing we can do about it." Sir Baron added, "If you are hostile to Ceylon because of this, then Great, Ceylon needs the protection of the British Empire. The location of British Ceylon can be regarded as an excellent location to monitor the entire Indian Ocean."

Clark thought for a moment and nodded, "But hurry up, judicial officials can't wait to bring justice."

"There is no problem with this. I will send a telegram to McLean immediately." Alan Wilson nodded happily.

At this time, it is indispensable to make use of the Cambridge Five, these idealists with a sense of justice.It's not that these people can't coexist, it all depends on how they are used.

For example, taking this incident as an example, several people in the Governor's Office of India know that this is a campaign to use justice to make judicial officials make money. As for whether it can change the social atmosphere in India, no one cares about such trivial matters.

But it’s different for British Ceylon, and it’s even more different for Donald McLean. This person who believes that social fairness must be corrected and has turned to the Soviet Union, if he knows that there are such things in Indian temples, anyone will do anything. have no idea.

Whether it is a real idealist or a fake idealist, just look at how Donald McLean, the commissioner of British Ceylon, dealt with the saint in the temple.

While sending a telegram to British Ceylon, Vivien Leigh, who had already made progress, canceled her trip and returned to New Delhi to pick up a new mission from Alan Wilson.

Chapter 214 Macklin Wants It All

This is not a conflict. Hard knives must be used and soft knives must be prepared. Public opinion has always been a very important thing.

Starting from a British Ceylon that is influenced by British India but can still control the situation, it can be used as a reference to control the actions in British India within an appropriate range. After all, considering the situation in the world, Nor should India be weakened too much.

From a grand strategic point of view, it is of course beneficial to take action against Hinduism in British Ceylon. Of course, for the sake of maintaining the British Empire, Alan Wilson cannot split British India into seven or eight pieces, otherwise there will be no checks and balances Not far away in the world of peace religion in the Middle East, we must also be wary of the subcontinent being scattered and becoming the back garden of the Soviet Union or a major northern country.

Therefore, India must have sufficient strength to protect itself, and it would be best if it can cause trouble for others.

But it also cannot allow India to be too powerful and affect the interests of the British Empire. India's influence is limited to the coastline of the subcontinent and must not cross the border.

In the telegram to Donald Maclean, Commissioner of British Ceylon, of course, it cannot be said so bluntly. Since the five heroes of Cambridge in history have been preserved in the world with idealized records, Alan Wilson wants to see whether this idealization is true or false.

In Colombo, the capital of British Ceylon, Donald McLean swung his golf club amidst the cheers of the crowd, and the golf ball drew a wonderful arc. Although he did not make a hole-in-one, victory was imminent.

On the balcony of the hotel not far away, some gentlemen and ladies were enjoying the tropical scenery, chatting in twos and threes, and even chatted about Vivien Leigh who was in British India.

"How dirty is that place in India? How did our movie queen go there? If you want to relax, you still have to come to Ceylon. General Mountbatten was here a few years ago, most of the year, but I don't know why in the last year. Yes, and have been staying in New Delhi.”

"Wouldn't it be nice to come to Ceylon to play golf and watch horse racing? How about we appeal to the Governor's Palace in New Delhi and invite Vivien Leigh to Ceylon as a guest?"

"Commissioner, it's a telegram from New Delhi. Would you like to see it, or tomorrow?" Just as McLean was about to win in one fell swoop, a secretary came over with a telegram from the Governor's Office of British India in his hand.

"Wait for me in the rest area, and I'll be there right away." McLean, wearing a ball cap, waved his hand indifferently, pointing to the parasol in the rest area and ordered, "There are drinks over there, you can do whatever you want."

Then he swung his club to complete the victory. People nearby stood up and cheered, excited about Donald McLean's victory. Amid the applause of everyone, Donald McLean returned to the rest area.

I have to admit in my heart that the life of being a commissioner in the colony is not as difficult as I imagined.It's not bad to get used to it, life is very relaxed, far less busy than before.

No wonder when he was in London, Alan Wilson always mentioned from time to time that he wanted to return to British India. The life here was really comfortable. He brought a glass of coconut water, and Donald Maclean brought the telegram from New Delhi.

"The Minister of Indian Affairs has just left the subcontinent. Before leaving, he emphasized the importance of the Clean India Movement. I very much hope that British India and the colonies affected can change the current atmosphere."

"Actually, we have planned for a long time, but we have always been concerned about the image of British India and have not made up our minds. The most shameless crime in the world is the crime against women and children, let alone a combination of both. And British India And neighboring Ceylon, is the epicenter of this crime."

On the Galle Face Green Golf Course, other gentlemen and ladies were still entertaining, but Donald MacLean was serious, looking at the telegram sent from New Delhi.

Because of the low status of Indian women, the poor at the bottom will sell young girls to temples in exchange for a little money.At the same time, it is believed that by virtue of this method, it can bring good luck to the family.

Sometimes there will be elders from the temple who see a decent girl in the field or somewhere, go directly to the girl's home, and ask the girl's family to sell the girl to the temple in the name of the gods.

Most of these girls are between 13 and 15 years old, and few girls over [-] years old are selected. After being selected, their fate is to marry the gods, because the gods will not come to the bridal chamber, and the monks in the temple will replace the gods to exercise their husband's rights. .

They believed that by having sex with the woman of the gods, they could get closer to the gods.Since then, the saint has embarked on the road of dedicating herself to monks.

The idea received by the saint is: this is dedication to the faith, and it is possible to become a master in the next life, reverse the class, and be rich and unparalleled.

"Fack!" Donald McLean was in a bad mood. He looked up at the gentleman and lady on the golf course, but he couldn't bring his good mood back.

In Alan Wilson's telegram, there was no concealment attempt at all, and he hoped that British Ceylon would be the first to launch a raid on the Hindu gathering areas in the north.If successful, British India would follow suit.

The telegram did not hide even a little bit, even Ceylon is a Buddhist country, and the British garrison presence can control the situation, they all frankly stated in the telegram that they wanted to test the waters with British Ceylon.

To be honest, it is said that the current British India may set off the next independent rally at some point. The British Empire must weaken the influence of Hinduism at present, and it has been clearly stated.

Why should the influence of Hinduism be weakened? Donald McLean used to only serve in the country, of course he does not understand.But after becoming the Commissioner of Ceylon, I gradually understood what was going on.

Colonization is of course good for the British Empire, but everything has two sides, and there is never a unilateral benefit.The British Empire began to receive backlash from British India.Not only the British colonies in Southeast Asia, such as Malaya and Sarawak, but also Xiangjiang began to appear Indianized to varying degrees.

Even the British Yemen-Somalia, which is known as the most intrusive peace religion, has been Indianized, and Indian ethnic communities have also emerged there.

Because British Ceylon is very close to the subcontinent, it cannot get rid of the subtle influence of Hinduism, and the situation is more serious than other colonies.

Now the Governor's Palace began to prepare for the independence of British India and began to eradicate Indian influence in these colonies.A good place to start with British Ceylon.

In fact, members of the National Congress Party have said similar things, expressing the relationship between Ceylon and India since ancient times. The evidence is the influence of Hinduism in northern Ceylon. Before independence, they have already begun to think about other legacies of the British Empire. The road to a great country has begun, how can this work?

Although the telegram is full of the ugly face of imperialism, the buttocks stand on the side of colonialism and sing praises.On another occasion, the Commissioner of Ceylon might give him contempt, but McLean is obviously not in the mood now.

"Contact the Trincomalee garrison right away, and tell me that I'm going to visit and discuss some issues with the commander of the base." McLean put away the telegram and ordered to the secretary who had just sent the telegram.

"Just send a telegram directly." The secretary sitting across from McLean was puzzled. He didn't know why Commissioner Ceylon seemed to be a different person in such a short period of time. He was talking and laughing on the golf course just now. .

"It's better to have a face-to-face interview. It's not clear on the telegram. I'm not Alan. I even sent so many telegrams." Donald McLean had a cold face, because this telegram that disturbed his good mood did not give a good face .

Of course, he is dissatisfied with Alan Wilson's ideological complicity with imperialist colonialism.But he is also a British, and choosing between India and the British Empire must be to safeguard the interests of the United Kingdom.

And the group of Indian saints, he didn't know the existence of this group before, so he can pretend that he didn't see it.Now that we know it, we must eliminate this phenomenon.

Even if it is used to some extent, he has no objection, which is a good thing after all.

McLean soon left the Galle Face Green golf course, and now has two things to do. The first is to determine whether such a group exists in the temples of the Hindu community in the northern Tamil area.

The second point is that contacting the British army at the Trincomalee Naval Base is more credible for this kind of thing.

In the evening, in front of Donald McLean, several bald-headed Buddhist monks were already sitting. After learning about the purpose of the Ceylon commissioner, they looked at each other, "We know this kind of behavior, the Gopram Tower temple, and the worship of wet monks. There are many temples like this in places where the Tamils ​​live, such as the Temple of God of War, the mother-in-law’s son.”

"Thank you, I just need to know if this kind of thing exists." McLean thanked several monks in front of him, "There will be no such saints in Buddhist temples."

"I dare not say that this phenomenon does not exist in temples in Ceylon at all, but it is contrary to the idea of ​​Buddhism. If it occurs, it is a personal matter and has nothing to do with religious traditions."

"Then monks, please go back." Donald McLean gestured to the secretary next to him with his eyes, sent a few monks back, and when the secretary came back, he ordered, "Inquire about the situation of all Hindu temples, prepare the car, and I will go to Trincao tomorrow morning." Mali Naval Base."

Idealists are efficient. On the second night, Donald McLean was already at the Trincomalee Naval Base, and several Royal Navy warships were docked in the bay not far away.

McLean stayed at the headquarters for a long time, saying that this was an instruction from New Delhi that British Ceylon should act first, and explained the various analyzes in Alan Wilson's telegram, saying that it was to safeguard the interests of the British Empire. Eliminate the influence of India, which is eyeing British Ceylon.

"Well, since it is New Delhi's instruction, the Navy is willing to participate in this operation. Just tell us the target!"

"There is no specific target, all Hindu temples must be searched." Donald McLean said word by word, "Not one, but all."

Chapter 215 It's a Victory

"All?" Greer, the commander of the naval base, took a breath, "It's really not a small project."

McLean, who received a telegram from New Delhi, was indeed preparing to go to war in British India as Alan Wilson expected. The treaty between Britain and Ceylon had promised to protect the status of Buddhism.

This kind of promise was actually made to Hinduism in British India. Buddhism in the subcontinent was completely defeated by Hinduism in the [-]th century. Since then, Buddhism, which once confronted Hinduism in the subcontinent, has disappeared, and Ceylon has become a lonely overseas Buddhist country.

It has become another transmission center in the Buddhist world, but with the continuous influx of immigrants from the subcontinent, Ceylon has also experienced a trend of Indianization. Ceylon's nearly 1000-year history has been constantly resisting the Hindu invasion dominated by Tamils History.

If it weren't for the consideration that the population of Ceylon on the subcontinent was dozens of times larger, the Buddhist monks summoned by McLean would have taken McLean to a Hindu temple and let these bastards disappear from Ceylon.

But even if they don’t want to offend the Indians on the subcontinent, these monks gave a positive answer to McLean’s question, that is, there is indeed a group of saints in Hindu temples, which is similar to what was said in the New Delhi telegram.

Isolated Hindu temples are scattered all over Ceylon due to historical reasons. These Hindu temples are easily raided, but McLean is still most concerned about the local situation in the Jaffna Peninsula, the headquarters of Ceylon Hinduism.

For centuries, Jaffna has been the cultural and religious center of Tamil Hinduism in Sri Lanka, especially during the Tamil dynasty.The Kingdom of Jaffna is a powerful Tamil dynasty that controls the region with Nallur as its capital and has ruled northern Ceylon for hundreds of years since it landed in Ceylon in the thirteenth century.

It is the tradition of the British Empire to support minority checks and balances, such as introducing Indians to manage Africa, Burma, and Malaya, while supporting peaceful believers and suppressing Hindus in the subcontinent.But this cannot be done in Ceylon. Buddhists in Ceylon are a drop in the ocean compared to Hindus in the subcontinent. If they contact the Tamils ​​to suppress the locals, it will only make the Indians turn back.

McLean also understands this. To launch a surprise attack on all Hindu temples, in addition to the assistance of the British army, there is also the need for the support of the local Sinhala. Only the Sinhala has this ability. trend.

Coincidentally, Sir Barron is also talking with the Governor of India about the clean India movement, which may require the support of the British army, which is almost the same as what McLean is doing.

The situation in Ceylon is different. If British India wants to replicate this kind of action, it can certainly get some support from the Peace Church, but the Peace Church is a minority after all, both in terms of distribution and number.Many religious centers of Hinduism are not well understood even by peace believers.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court has been investigating for a long time, as early as when the cabinet mission came to British India.Naturally, the actions of British India mainly depended on the British army to implement them.

Of course, it was Sir Barron who came forward to convince the governor that he was the head of the civil servants in British India. Alan Wilson absolutely did not dare to step over his feet and could only do some details, such as lecturing on plays to Vivien Leigh.

Vivien Leigh, who returned to New Delhi, was still living in the original apartment complex. She was very tired from traveling and traveling. Alan Wilson came to the door with a compassionate heart and brought essential oils, hoping to relieve the fatigue of the hard-working international actress.

The sunlight came in through the window, and Alan Wilson said while unfolding his skillful techniques, "I'm not sure whether I can completely eradicate the anti-human saintess group in the subcontinent, but it is very important for establishing your image." The good thing is that the documentary is called India’s Daughter, and your role in it must fully demonstrate the humanistic care of the British Empire, and the image naturally gathers the true, the good and the beautiful, and plays the role of saving the temple saints from going through the needle.”

Papa..."It must be full of humanistic care, like a goddess descending into the world, and save these tragic saints. Of course, the image of our Governor's Palace must also be positive. Once the documentary is completed, it will be widely disseminated in all British colonies."

India's Daughter is a very well-known documentary, which records the attitudes of all parties in the case of Indian female medical intern Jyoti Singh Pandey being raped and killed by a man, and the impact of this case on the victim's family and the perpetrator. and the influence of Indian society.

What does this have to do with the British Empire, and how does it matter.That documentary was also filmed with British investment!The company that makes the documentary is called the BBC, and Britain will never let go of the opportunity to step on the former colonies.

The reputation of the BBC in India is similar to that of CNN in China. The UK has no time to control news from other places, but if it is Indian news, it is another matter.

"Hmph!" Vivien Leigh groaned, indicating that she heard it, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man in front of her take off his pants and come up to him, and said weakly, "Didn't you say it was just a massage..."

"Press it inside too." Alan Wilson looked at Vivien Leigh with reflective skin, and said repeatedly, "Now it's the most effective. This is my exclusive technique."

In the middle of the night on April [-]th, the weather was humid. Donald McLean, who was already confident, followed the troops stationed at the Trincomalee Naval Base and drove a jeep on the road. The Japanese army fought fiercely in the dense forests of Southeast Asia.
