British civil servant

"I don't know what Myanmar is like. I haven't been there yet." Secretary Edel said curiously, "I heard that Myanmar has not been affected by drought this year."

"What can it do? Of course, it's the same as here, it's a colony." Alan Wilson chuckled, even the financial situation is similar, and Myanmar's current financial situation is almost at its limit.

In the final analysis, the plan to fly with both wings is to use Germany's industrial base and the British Indian market to allow the UK to set prices in the middle and drive the British mainland out of the aftermath of the war.

This British India refers to Great Britain India, which includes almost all the colonies in Asia today.Nepal, Burma, Ceylon and even British colonies in the Gulf of Aden.

Among them, the subcontinent is of course the big head, but it does not mean that Myanmar and Nepal are not important. In fact, Myanmar has made no less contributions than British India in some fields, but the total amount cannot be compared with British India.

The blood-sucking of British Burma was actually part of the expelled Rohingya people before, because after all, Britain has a small population, and the management of colonies has always required a force to cooperate. British India is the one that relies heavily on the colonies of the British Empire. the power of.

Now that the independence of British India has become a consensus, coupled with the urgent need for local restoration, Alan Wilson, after consideration, must resolve the hostility of the Burmese on the one hand, and make exploitation more efficient on the other hand.

Just let the Rohingya get out, and go to the battle to take the share that belongs to the Indians.

In this way, the exploitation is more efficient, and it also has a greater promotion effect on the local area.The Burmese will be happy too, the only unlucky ones are the Rohingya who are the accomplices of British imperialism.

This cannot be blamed on Alan Wilson. The Rohingya should blame the Congress Party and the Muslim League. It is the Congress Party and the Muslim League that want to be independent, and the country needs more blood transfusions, which forced Alan Wilson to throw away the gentleman mask first.

The effect is also obvious. After the misfortune of the Rohingya, the distribution of wealth in British Myanmar became more reasonable.

The Burmese who have just gained wealth have also shown their motivation. The food production has not decreased, but their purchasing power has increased.Profits imported into the United Kingdom have instead increased.

This situation is of course unsustainable, but what is needed now is not sustainable development, but to stimulate the power of all the colonies. As long as the local decline is swept away, the British Empire will still be the British Empire.

I heard that the current local civil servants are selling Burmese rice in the British-occupied areas. As long as the cost is lowered, industrial products can be replaced by Burmese rice to alleviate the food shortage in Germany. As for the rice that does not meet the taste of the Germans?

There is a food shortage. At this time, the Germans still have the nerve to choose?

It’s good to be able to eat. It’s not our British Empire. In Germany, a cigarette can be exchanged for a woman’s service. Isn’t the drop in tobacco prices a credit to the British Empire?

In general, the plan is progressing smoothly, and the recovery speed of the British Empire is still very fast. Anyway, Alan Wilson's greatest wish is to end the rationing system in the British Empire before Burma becomes independent.

Of course, the happiest thing is that the situation in the Andaman Islands has not deteriorated, and the quick response of the Governor's Office is indisputable.

"It's a bit lonely!" Alan Wilson, who got off work from the Governor's Mansion, felt a sense of emptiness after leaving work.

Back at the apartment, Alan Wilson was tossing and turning, but he was not tired. Now he especially wants to experience the feeling of exhaustion, even if it is an Indian car.

Under the reflection of the crescent moon, the outside of the house is also bright.So he got up and leaned against the fence of the balcony, decided to walk around the safe community, but couldn't sleep.

Alan Wilson put on his jacket, took a few cigarettes, and began wandering the garden paths, ghostly from among the flowers.

I even wondered in my mind whether I would do as the Romans do when I am in India, and contribute to the rape cases in India.

Alan Wilson, who turned around, suddenly raised his head, looked at the groggy night, and cursed with a nose that wasn't his nose, "Is it raining?"

But then there was a look of regret on his face, what is this called, rain is a good thing, it can alleviate the drought in the subcontinent.

The weather in the subcontinent is like this. When the dry season comes, the sun is like a raging god, shining blindingly in the sky. Then, the monsoon suddenly blows westward. Non-stop, everything gets soaked until your clothes, your bed, and even your food aren't even dry.

It was still hot, steamy and sweltering.The gloomy jungle path has become a swamp, and the rice fields have become a large area of ​​slightly stagnant water, exuding a stale smell.

I just don't know if this rain is a sign of the past of the drought. Every time the rainy season comes, the rain almost never stops.On the following day, the rainfall began to decrease and eventually stopped completely, which meant that the rainy season was over and the subcontinent's seasons began the next cycle.

When Allen Wilson was sentimental in North India, the business elite led by Wilkins had already arrived in Hyderabad in South India. Hyderabad was hardly affected by the drought this time.

Also like New Delhi, the local area has just ushered in a rainfall. After the rainfall, the surging white mist is like steam from a huge kettle.

People came out to hunt ducks and pheasants.There are too many pheasants to count, and flocks of wild geese fly from the shallows, their crowing sounds like a cargo train passing an iron bridge.

The ripening rice is as high as the chest, yellow and clear like wheat waves.Indians in turbans rush to work, arms folded and dark faces.

Early in the morning, Wilkins walked through misty, tangled wilderness, open ground with wet grass much like domestic grass, bare trees, and monkeys squatting on the upper branches waiting for the sun to emerge.

At night, when they returned across the trail, they would meet children driving home the buffalo, whose huge horns loomed like crescents in the mist.

Some fireworks can be seen not far away. It is the local people lighting the fire. The servants and coolies are squatting on the edge of the light and shadow, ashamed to disturb their white masters, but slowly approaching the flames like dogs.

Generally speaking, the business elites led by Wilkins still think that this is a difficult journey. After all, not everyone likes exotic styles, and the skin color of South Indian women is indeed darker.

This kind of mentality is better in Hyderabad. Although it is not as good as the magic capital or Manila where some members are located, compared with the Indian cities that came all the way, the hardware in Hyderabad is indeed quite good.

British officials in British Raj did not require much special competence.

Few of them are as hardworking or astute as postmasters in small English provincial towns.

The real administrative work is mainly done by native subordinates; and the real backbone of the autocratic government is not the officials, but the army.

With an army, officials and businessmen can live in peace, even if they are fools, which, in fact, most people are.This is a boring and respectable ethnic group, sticking to and defending this boring behind the bayonet of the British army stationed in India.

After a period of experience, Andy has been out of the teacher. Like an ordinary British Indian official, he is doing boring and boring work. After pursuing Alisa in vain, he has completely let go of himself and experienced the experience of the south. India's exotic customs are not making scandals of not paying money.

It may also be, as some colleagues said, that Alyssa is actually Alan Wilson's mistress, and she is destined not to get it.

If Alan Wilson in New Delhi knew that his subordinates arranged for the boss, he might be promoted immediately...to the Andaman Islands as a commissioner.

Although he did say in the telegram to Alisa that he should not contact the Americans, but it was all because of his love for his subordinates, and he didn't have any tricks. Can this lead to orchestration?If you hadn't found a prostitute and didn't give you money, would you have ended up where you are today?

Being on the same earth, how can countries be different from country to country? On the far side of the ocean, the United States of America.

The home of Katharine Hepburn in Los Angeles ushered in a guest today. The guests of Katharine Hepburn's home used to be some celebrity friends, but there have been some changes in the composition of the guests recently.

"Excuse me, dear Miss Catherine, I'm here on behalf of the Gannett Press Trust. My name is William Hess." William Hess introduced himself, and then showed his sign.

The Gannett Newspaper Trust was founded by Frank Gannett.Before World War II, it mainly controlled newspapers in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and other places, as well as more than a dozen medium and small cities.

Gannett Newspaper Trust's main influence is in New York, and the relationship with Wall Street is very good.After introducing himself, waiting for Vivien Leigh to appear, William Hess stated the purpose, "Our group wants to work with ABC to make a documentary about British India, so that American citizens can better understand the fascinating world. The place."

"This is also of great benefit to Ms. Vivian. With the strength of our two companies in the media field, it can greatly enhance your reputation. Perhaps the most important thing for a female star is fame. Of course, Ms. Vivian is Brits, probably don't think they're getting enough help."

"Then we can also help in other places. Many shareholders of our two companies have extensive influence. Mickey Mouse, Snow White, and the Three Little Pigs, Miss Vivienne, don't think that Disney can only do cartoon."

"Mr. William, why are you looking for me?" Vivien Leigh was also thinking while listening to the other party, but what she was thinking about had nothing to do with the documentary, but the derivatives that Alan Wilson said. It seemed that Disney was an expert in such derivatives.

Chapter 264 Barbie

In the telegram Vivien Leigh received, the binding operation of the Zodiac was mentioned. Plagiarism is shameful to others. Saint Seiya is a product of the Axis countries. The victor has the right to copy it.

Even the German rocket experts were assigned by the Allies, so why not copy a small anime work?

In the United States, although Disney is not exactly an animation company, it is also an expert in animation.Vivien Leigh, who initially had the concept of derivative products, heard that Disney was coming, and she, who was already pursuing progress, naturally had an idea.

As for William Hess' request, what exactly is it?Listen first, and know the other party's purpose before you can think of a countermeasure. If it is mutual benefit, it is good. If you have to pay more, I am looking for a good brother in New Delhi to find a solution.

"Of course we have sympathy for the difficulties that British India is facing now. I believe Miss Vivienne has seen this through newspapers and media. India is an ancient civilization, and the United States has always respected ancient civilizations, such as Speaking of China, our relationship with China is very good." William Hess's face was full of kindness, but the condescending attitude in his tone could not be concealed.

Vivien Leigh didn't feel uncomfortable about this, because Alan Wilson was the same. He despised British India in private, but he never did it in public.

Vivien Leigh also asked this question, thinking that a life of disagreement is very tiring.

Alan Wilson’s answer she still remembers now, “Our so-called respect for ancient civilizations is respecting ancient civilizations rather than civilizations. We wish they would be in ancient times forever. Don’t be surprised. The same is true for Americans. On a larger scale, this is a powerful country. It's a common problem, not a race issue."

"Mr. William, I want to make a request. I don't know if you can agree." Vivien Leigh frowned and said with some embarrassment, "First of all, I want to know whether helping you understand British India will be detrimental to the British Empire. You know, some people in London are not without complaints about what the United States is doing now."

of course!William Hess shook his head like a rattle, saying, "Of course not. The blood of the British Empire and the United States is thicker than water. We are all descendants of one ancestor. This time the documentary is only to enhance American citizens' understanding of the world. There is no other purpose, and we will bear all the production costs of the documentary.”

Wouldn't there be a shadow of a country behind it?A trace of suspicion flashed in Vivien Li's eyes, she would never have thought of this in the past, but it is different now, Vivien Li's thoughts have grown much more than before.

"Mr. William, I may have to discuss it with my family." Vivien Leigh said with a polite smile, "I will contact you as soon as there is a result. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"No problem, Miss Vivienne." William Hess stood up with a smile and left in the farewell of Vivien Leigh and Katherine Hepburn.

After seeing off the guests, Vivien Leigh was about to send a telegram. All of this was in the eyes of Katharine Hepburn. This time, Katharine Hepburn showed her acting skills as a movie queen, concealing the gossip in her heart. She wants to know a question now, Vivien Leigh said That family... who the hell is it?

"Vivienne, that's the Gannett Press Trust and ABC. No amount of actors can ask for their help." Ignoring Vivien Leigh's absent-mindedness, Katharine Hepburn changed the subject and distracted Great Britain's attention. .

"I know, it's just the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and I need time to think about it." Vivien Leigh was getting ready to go out while she was getting dressed. The telegram to be sent had been written in a while, and it was enough to send it when it arrived at the telecommunications office.

Katharine Hepburn, who had been quietly following Vivien Leigh out, waited in a coffee shop after Vivien Leigh arrived at a telecommunications office. After Vivien Leigh came out of the telecommunications office, Katharine Hepburn slipped in and asked the telegraph operator, " Sir, may I ask where the lady's telegram was sent to?"

Why did two such beautiful women appear in such a small telegraph office today?

The telegraph operator looked up at Katharine Hepburn, and couldn't help but feel his eyes light up. The two women in the front and the back were wearing sunglasses, but it could be seen that they were actually very beautiful, and they didn't know which rich man would be cheaper.

After a moment of shock, the telegraph operator answered Katharine Hepburn's question, "It's a telegram to Asia. It seems to be a British colony."

Fearing that Katharine Hepburn would not understand, the telegraph operator explained, but unfortunately, Katharine Hepburn did not respond, and the strike-up was useless after all.

"I knew it." Katharine Hepburn's eyes behind the sunglasses flashed a certainty, and he was sure that the family Vivien Leigh was talking about was not Oliver.

In New Delhi, the capital of British India, Alan Wilson had to enter the telegraph room again, put down his work temporarily, and answer questions about the Great Britain Treasure.

With this operation, Alan Wilson, who has a full understanding of the United States and even the United States in the future, concluded at a glance that this was malicious. The so-called improvement of the United States’ understanding of the local area is the precursor of this spring after spring, revolution after revolution...

This had to make Alan Wilson temporarily forget about work and think about countermeasures.British India had an easy job, and he had done it for some time, and as a colonial officer his methods were simple.

Even in the face of more bribes, he will never give up the right to make decisions on affairs, because he knows very well that tendentious colonial officials will leave a handle.

His method is much safer, that is, he accepts bribes from both parties, and then handles them strictly according to objective facts.This has earned him a reputation for impartiality, and reputation is extremely important to him.

With the leading role of the boss, Alan Wilson's subordinates will naturally follow suit. Alisa is obviously more trusted than Andy in Alan Wilson, and naturally she is taught by precepts and deeds.

However, there are still differences between the provinces directly under the British India and the provinces, especially the monarchs and the people under the rule have different beliefs, and the environment for collecting money is still much more relaxed than that of the provinces.

In addition to the income from Ali Khan, the commissioner of Hyderabad also imposed road tax on all the villages under his rule, which was purely private taxation.

If any village did not pay tribute, Alisa would take punitive measures—groups of bandits raiding the village, arresting the leading villager on false charges, etc... and it would not be long before the amount was made up.

She also took a cut of all the large-scale robberies that took place in the area.Of course, these things are known to everyone except Alisa’s boss, the real Hyderabad commissioner, Alan Wilson, but anyone who tries to expose her always ends in failure; there are countless supporters who are loyal to her because of the spoils .

Whenever someone reported him, Alyssa only wanted to buy a bunch of witnesses, and no one would believe the report, and she would soon counter-accuse the other party, making her position even stronger.

The bosses in the British Indian colony generally choose to protect their subordinates, regardless of whether the subordinates really made mistakes or not. Alisa understands this, and will continue to send the income in Hyderabad to New Delhi, and of course keep The one that belongs to you.

Alisa hoped that one day when she left British India, she could leave with a suitcase full of honors.

At the same time, Alisa's pursuit of Andy is not false. There are rumors that she is Alan Wilson's mistress. Of course, she knows that this is not true, but she does not respond to the rumors. The boss does not need it now, but what if he needs it in the future?

In the afternoon, Alisa received a telegram from New Delhi and forwarded it directly to the British consulate in Los Angeles, telling the consulate that Vivien Leigh should pick it up. This is the role of Hyderabad as a transit point.

The telegram connection between New Delhi and Los Angeles is a single-line connection. The telegram sent from Hyderabad arrives in Los Angeles and Vivien Leigh is required to pick it up, but the telegram sent back does not go through the consulate.

In the telegram Vivien Leigh received recently, Alan Wilson cryptically stated that the Americans had no good intentions, and that the United States' attention to British India was the idea of ​​taking advantage of the British Empire.

But then the conversation changed and he said that he could agree to the other party's request. After all, the colonial government was still there, and he was not afraid of the Americans coming in plainly. He also suggested that Vivien Leigh set out some conditions and pay attention to the packages in the past few days.

There is a sketch of Barbie doll in the package, and it is stated that it hopes to make it based on Vivien Leigh's circle of friends, hoping to become a favorite of American children.

There are also ideas about the setting of the zodiac and derivative products. This telegram gave Vivien Leigh confidence, to see if Disney could agree to help her improve.

Although the telegram was full of certainty, in fact Vivien Leigh didn't know that the sketch of the Barbie doll hadn't been written yet. As for the setting of the zodiac and the structure of the story, the same was true.

The office of the assistant to the British Indian Commissioner was brightly lit, and Alan Wilson was working overtime. The ashtray was full the next morning, which proved how hardworking he was.

If the civil servants of the British Empire work like he does now, the United States and the Soviet Union will have fun, and the leadership of the world depends on the British Empire.

Time passed in the eyes of the prisoners of war in the Andaman Islands, and the package finally arrived in Los Angeles ten days later, and was delivered to the hands of the Great British Treasure.

What catches the eye is the proportion of the sketch of the Barbie doll. The explanation next to it is to mass-produce it based on Vivien Leigh's best friend group. As for whether it can persuade other female stars or whether Disney can help, Alan Wilson has no suggestion. Not in the United States, these specific things have to be busy with Vivien Leigh.

"Why is it called a Barbie doll?" Katharine Hepburn uttered a confused voice after listening to Vivien Leigh's thoughts after receiving enlightenment.

Chapter 265 Goddess' Gift

"I don't know, maybe it means baby?" Vivien Li smiled and shook her head, her expression was full of indifference.

I don't know, but you did what your family wanted!The corner of Katharine Hepburn's mouth twitched, what kind of trust is it to do such a stupid thing?Even knowing that Vivien Leigh is a person who is desperate for love, this is too much.

If Vivien Leigh knew what Katharine Hepburn was thinking, she would definitely refute it loudly and confidently. If she didn't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is the most respectful and feminine man she has ever seen.

For the Barbie dolls of the zodiac, Vivien Leigh needs to do this by herself. The production base is different from the original Japanese OEM in history. At this time in [-], the best production base was taken for granted, which was during the World War II. Surviving in the United States of America.

In the original time and space, the first batch of Barbie dolls were made in Japan, and the title of the exhibition was "Barbie - a role model for girls".

But unexpectedly, Barbie was not sold out, but received a cold reception from toy dealers.After all, she is a brand-new thing, a kind of risk, dealers are not willing to do this, just reluctantly entered a few.

This was just the beginning. Barbie dolls eventually swept across the United States within a year and became the most pleasing toy for American children.After the initial cold reception, the Barbie doll has become the dealer's favorite toy, which is really profitable.

Alan Wilson felt that with the gimmick of Vivien Leigh and her friends, the fame of these female stars in Hollywood at this time would not be as bad at the start as the original entrepreneurs, and they had the potential to become a hit.

As for copyright, as the most capitalist country, the various copyright protections in the United States can be called hooligans.What's more, the two companies that came to Vivien Leigh and asked her to make a documentary, one of the major shareholders, Disney, is a copyright hooligan.

There is a famous joke about Disney: If one day you land on an isolated island, the best way to rescue you is to draw a huge Mickey Mouse on the island, and Disney’s legal department will arrive as quickly as possible to sue you.

The most classic sentence ever left by a Disney spokesperson is, "We are always in a lawsuit..."

There are a total of 350 lawyers in the Disney legal department, and they definitely have time to deal with one after another of lawsuits. There are only 360 five days a year, and almost one lawsuit per day can be handled.

In the telegram, Alan Wilson mentioned that although the image is based on Hollywood actresses, it should not be too exposed, and the children's psychological age should be considered.

Allen Wilson has done what should be done, and the rest is Vivien Leigh's own business.

It is not uncommon to find a factory in the United States in this era. There are factories that can make OEMs everywhere. Vivien Leigh must first get a group of girlfriends.
