Chapter 24 Recalling the Governor's Palace

Although the British Empire was not as good as the United States and the Soviet Union after the war, it was better because it was big enough and there were still many places it could operate in. In addition to British India, there were also British Malaya, the British Middle East, British Africa, and other places.

Alan Wilson didn't know when he felt sleepy. He simply packed his things and fell on the bedside.

In the princely state of Hyderabad, the preliminary exchanges about the white-glove alliance between the princely states and the Portuguese are still continuing, and after a few days, they are almost complete.

On this day, Ali Khan called Alan Wilson to the palace. His thin face was a little serious, and he revealed a piece of news that was enough to break the blue: "Maybe in a few days, New Delhi will want to find you again."

"I just came back!" Alan Wilson was shocked and felt that something was a little unusual. If the Governor-General of British India had called him back, he would have just sent a telegram.

And there seems to be nothing important recently involving his work. His work in Hyderabad is still quite far away from the work in British India, and there is no influence at all.

A trace of gloom flashed across Ali Khan's face, and he said in a cold voice, "It seems that this time your princely state representatives came to Hyderabad and the Congress Party noticed that it was Nehru who put pressure on the Governor's Palace."

"He really knows how to choose the right time." Alan Wilson muttered angrily. It seemed that he had suffered the consequences of his age. He thought a little too simply when doing things, which attracted the attention of the Congress Party.

Applying pressure at this time has to be said to be a good opportunity. The better the situation is, the more the Governor General of British India does not want to lose control and hopes that British India will maintain stability and end the world war.

Because the Hyderabad state gathering attracted Nehru's attention, did he want to scare the monkeys? This possibility cannot be ruled out, and Alan Wilson's mood suddenly became extremely bad.

"Alan, I have contacted Sir Barron and I appreciate your experience as commissioner in Hyderabad. Judging from the tone of the telegram, the matter is not serious. You may need to prepare some words." Ali Khan saw.

Alan Wilson was a little worried and said with relief, "And I have also prepared some gifts for Sir Barron. You can take them with you when you return to New Delhi. It shouldn't be difficult to pass the customs."

Ali Khan was able to achieve this step, which somewhat surprised Alan Wilson. Sure enough, the widespread ignorance in British India could also breed some true temperament.

When the words came to his lips, Alan Wilson seemed to have remembered something, and expressed his thoughts in a communicative tone, "Dear Lord, there is actually a person who should not be out of your sight."

"Who?" Ali Khan was stunned. He quickly recalled the important political figures of British India in his mind, but he was not sure who Alan Wilson was talking about.

"General Mountbatten." Alan Wilson said decisively, "I don't know what the outcome of returning to New Delhi this time will be. Will the Governor's Office transfer me because of Nehru's pressure? Although from you and

Judging from Sir Barron's telegram, the tone is quite mild, but I have to think more, Your Majesty, I am still the Commissioner of Hyderabad, and I want to communicate with you in a very sincere manner to fulfill my responsibilities."

Alan Wilson said these words sincerely. In a sense, he is still far from being a real veteran civil servant, and when he came to Hyderabad to take office, he came with sincerity.

Therefore, when dealing with Ali Khan, he, the Commissioner of Hyderabad, really thought about the monarch of Hyderabad. He helped Ali Khan find ways to maintain the status of an independent kingdom as much as possible, even though he knew in his heart that the possibility of success was slim.

"Mountbatten?" Ali Khan muttered this name. Of course he knew that the owner of this name was the current commander of the Southeast Asian Theater and the supreme commander of the British-Indian Army. But that was all. The other party was a relative of the royal family. During the war,

Commanding the legion in battle can be understood as leading by example as a member of the royal family.

But as a soldier, what role does it play in the current political situation in British India? Has the interference of royal family members in politics disappeared long ago in the UK?

If the First World War had not dealt a heavy blow to the British aristocracy, how could it have disappeared so easily? Seeing Ali Khan's expression, Alan Wilson knew that the other party did not care much, and emphasized, "Your Majesty, I am very serious.

It is suggested that General Mountbatten plays an important role in the royal family. The relationship between Prime Minister Churchill and General Mountbatten is very good!"

Hearing the name of Prime Minister Churchill, Ali Khan put on a solemn look. For the British colonies all over the world, Prime Minister Churchill's name is still well known. People in these colonies have not yet felt the outside world of the United States and the Soviet Union.

It has made the British Empire very embarrassing.

But Alan Wilson knew that in the war, Mountbatten was much more powerful than Churchill, who was like a bullfight. After becoming the commander of the Southeast Asian Theater, he maintained good relations with the Allied forces on all fronts.

During the Burma Campaign, the armies of the Allied Powers did not cooperate with each other and looked down upon each other. They were defeated by the Japanese army one by one, putting British India in danger. Mountbatten solved this problem as soon as he took office and coordinated the operations of the troops of various countries.

The most important thing is that Mountbatten will be appointed as the Governor-General of British India immediately after the war. The future of India is decided in the hands of Mountbatten. It was Mountbatten who took over as the last Governor-General of India and led the development of India.

Partition of Pakistan.

Soon the telegram from New Delhi arrived in Hyderabad. It was indeed as Ali Khan said, and the words were in a calm tone. However, Alan Wilson, who had entered the initial stage of speaking skills, did not believe the contents of the telegram.

Mandarin is not something that only exists in certain countries.

This time Alan Wilson returned to New Delhi, and Ali Khan gave Alan Wilson a bag of gold as a gift and asked Alan Wilson to take it to the event. Alan Wilson, who had only been in office for three months, had to return to the heart of British India for the second time and accept the

An uncertain future.

The assistants who followed him to Hyderabad came to see him off, thinking that their boss' return was just a routine matter.

At this time, the Rhine River defense line in the European direction had been completely broken through, and the attack on British Burma was also in full swing. The Japanese troops entrenched in Burma had begun to show signs of a sad end.

The weather in New Delhi was sunny, and the sun shone through the windows of the Governor's Palace. Sir Barron hesitated and said helplessly, "Why did you organize a gathering of the princely states and invited the Portuguese? Do you know what's going on in Myanmar right now?"
