Chapter 209 This is political achievement
"Alan means to send it to London!?" Unlike representatives sent by some princely states, Salaman Khan, the Maharaja of the Junagadh princely state, came in person, and John, the commissioner of the Junagadh princely state, also came at the same time.
come over.
But even Salaman Khan was very sincere, and he was very surprised by Alan Wilson's proposal. The strength of the Junagadh state was enough to rank among the top three in the entire British India, with only the Hyderabad state and Kashmir state.
In terms of area, it far exceeds other princely states, and the area of the remaining powerful princely states is similar.
But Junagadh was close to the sea and its location was obviously better than many princes. As the king of Junagadh, Salaman Khan lived a pretty good life.
Maharajas like Salaman Khan and Ali Khan naturally had no good impressions of the Congress Party's ideas. What's more, they happened to be peaceful believers and had different beliefs from the Congress Party.
"I would be lying if I denied it, my dear Majesty. The British Empire suffered damage during the war, but no one would think that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets would be interested in your property, right?"
Alan Wilson asked in a joking tone, and Salaman Khan shook his head directly and said, "Of course I don't have such doubts, I just think this method is more sudden."
"We have made plans based on the worst possible situation." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. Britain, which has not yet been stripped of its tiger skin, is quite capable of bluffing people. In fact, with the current domestic financial situation, these country countries
The wealth will definitely be used when it arrives in the UK.
Just being used and sucking blood are two different things. Britain will definitely admit that these wealth belong to the princes of the country. However, for the sake of liquidity, it may be put into market circulation first. If these princes need it, it will be returned to them.
Salaman Khan's statement silenced the brewing opposition for the time being. Even a powerful prince of the country did not object. What qualifications did they, the representatives of the monarchs have to object?
"Actually, the Maharaja behind you can choose a trustworthy bank. In the British Empire, the government cannot interfere with banks. In fact, Maharaja Ali Khan has a very good relationship with many bankers who are widely respected." Allen
Wilson glanced at Ali Khan, and after getting the acknowledgment, he added another word, "I believe you have seen the changes in the Hyderabad army. This is the reward. When facing external threats, we should focus on more
In the vast world, maybe things will turn around."
With the acquiescence of the two great princes, Ali Khan and Salaman Khan, Alan Wilson began to explain the principle of equal risk sharing. The land could not be taken away, but anything other than the land could be taken away.
Today's London definitely welcomes the wealth imported by these princes with open arms. Prime Minister Attlee is almost going crazy thinking about money. Otherwise, he would not have nodded to the fact that British India was discounted.
As long as the domestic economic cycle is restored, the remaining imperial colonies will still be a very vast area.
While the United States and the Soviet Union are focusing their attention on East Asia, if this time difference can be exploited, everything will have room for maneuver. If the default time slips away, the future will be difficult.
Britain must immediately recover from the aftermath of a world war and acquire nuclear weapons sooner than ever before.
For the princes of the country, there is no loss. They can't put their eggs in one basket. They also understand this truth, but they always have a sense of luck before the end of the matter. Only when the noose is tightened will they
When I started to give up my illusions and prepare for struggle, it was already too late.
From Alan Wilson's perspective, it's very simple. In order to make money, the Labor Party even dared to sell jet engines to the Soviet Union.
It’s not that Alan Wilson is opposed to selling off the imperial heritage, but it can be sold to British India. If the American industrial capitalists want to, they can come to the Governor-General of India to discuss it. As long as the money is paid, everything can be discussed easily!
However, no one knows whether Nehru, an Indian leader who was influenced by the Soviet Union, would confiscate the assets purchased by these American companies with a wave of his hand.
Just talking about property? That is of course impossible. I actually remembered the Han Dynasty’s policy of migrating powerful people. I also thought of a policy called the Tweeting Order, which is very logical.
"We have to consider the possibility that once the British army leaves the subcontinent, Nehru may take action against the princely states. Small and medium-sized princely states can be won through persuasion and negotiation, but for big princely states like you, it may be unavoidable.
The war is over. I know that all the princes are unwilling to give up the land in their hands, so this proposal is aimed at the land."
"Allen, just tell me what you think." Ali Khan crossed his legs, looking like an old farmer and had nothing to do with the world's richest man.
"Actually, this is just a way to delay time. If the Congress party's tough attitude towards the princely states becomes a foregone conclusion, then before leaving New Delhi, I will suggest that the Governor-General releases a message. That is, all the heirs of the Maharaja have equal rights.
Inheritance rights, once a great king dies, the land of the feudal state will be equally divided among all his heirs."
The Tweeting Order was an important decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to consolidate the centralization of power.
The essence of the Tuien Order is an improvement on the county system. This decree requires that the areas under the jurisdiction of the previous princes should only be inherited by their eldest son, instead of the eldest son, second son, and third son inheriting them jointly. According to the Han system
, the princely states formed under the Tuien Order were subordinate to the counties, and their status was equivalent to that of the counties.
Later, according to this decree, the vassal states were divided into smaller and smaller states, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to weaken their power.
In fact, Nehru's original intention was to prevent the princely states from becoming independent kingdoms, so he fought against the powerful princely states. There were only a few wars against the princely states, and most of the princely states did not suffer military strikes.
Military action is never an easy decision. If there is such a method as extending the grace order, there may not necessarily be a feudal war, but the time for India's internal integration may be extended.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At least Ali Khan still has twenty years to live. If Nehru waits for these monarchs to die one by one, it is not certain who can delay who.
Ali Khan and Salaman Khan did not have any ideas, but many representatives of the princely states took note of this idea.
From the perspective of British India, as long as the news is revealed before leaving, no matter what happens in the end, it will be a good thing. The British army withdrew and Nehru went to war, so under the attitude towards the princely states before the Governor's Office,
Nehru was not a good person and ended up with the image of going back on his word.
If Nehru had agreed to let these princely states disintegrate themselves without war, India would not have been able to complete its integration for at least twenty years.
No matter how you calculate it, this is a good thing for Britain. Representatives of the princely states also joined the discussion and asked about the details. The main discussion revolved around the two points of risk equalization and extension orders.
However, while discussing diplomatic confrontation, the issue of gun barrels was not forgotten. In the afternoon, representatives from major princely states went to visit the Hyderabad private army, which, at least on the surface, was completely different from before.
Compared with when Alan Wilson came here a year ago, at least on the surface, the Hyderabad army has undergone radical changes. Ali Khan has allocated a lot of land to unite the morale of the army. German instructors have been introduced.
The army was replaced with weapons that had been eliminated from Europe.
At least on the surface, it looks relatively decent. Now the army in Hyderabad is close to 100,000. The peaceful believers of Yishui are worthy of the status of the most powerful princely state.
Ali Khan supported an army of 100,000 with one person, which can be seen from the accumulation in Hyderabad over hundreds of years.
Many representatives of the princely states also expressed their appreciation for the army in Hyderabad. In front of the Congress Party, everyone has the same position. The strength of the princely state of Hyderabad can also benefit other princely states.
The climate in South India is relatively humid. Afterward, Vivien Leigh felt the aftertaste and smiled and said, "You have great physical strength, and you made me sweat all over again. The climate here is already uncomfortable."
"Why don't we go to the balcony? It's already after midnight and there won't be anyone." Alan Wilson came over, rubbed his ears and temples, and pointed in the direction of the outer balcony.
"Go, what do you think I am?" Vivien Leigh patted the man lightly and rejected the suggestion of integrating with nature. "There are too many mosquitoes. Tomorrow, I will be covered with beans. How to explain? What did you do today?"
Bang! Alan Wilson, who lit up a cigarette, took two deep puffs and said that he was looking for political achievements for the respected Minister of Indian Affairs so that he could return to London with his head held high.
"Dear Minister, I have good news to tell you." Sir Barron took the initiative to find the Minister of Indian Affairs, Pesik Lawrence, and introduced the progress of his assistant in Hyderabad. "Many princely states are very worried now.
When the future of the British Empire was uncertain about the British Empire's attitude toward British India, Allen suggested that some princes transfer their takeaway properties to London. However, these princes were also a little worried at the moment. If they could get London's approval, they would be guaranteed
With the wealth accumulated over generations, I think this can happen."
Pesik Lawrence was a little confused at first, but after Barron's words, he finally understood what it meant. He straightened his waist, crossed his hands and said reservedly, "The powerful and ethical bankers of the British Empire are financing
It is unparalleled in this aspect, and the facts will prove that the choice of these great kings is very correct."
"The most important thing is that if the respected Prime Minister knows this news, he will be very happy." Sir Barron said with a smile, "This is a political achievement."
