Even Alan Wilson knows that with Hyderabad's geographical location and composition of residents, it is almost impossible to resist the attack of the Indian army, but for the sake of money, this is currently the most professional army in South Asia.
Compared with the Hyderabad Commissioner of British India, he is now obviously more interested in Ali Khan's role as a dog-headed military advisor. After all, the salary in British India is dead, and he is far less tempted by the financial resources of the former world's richest man.
Although Alan Wilson was a keyboard warrior in his previous life, in this life he only heard and witnessed logistics work from the old Wilson, which was far less impressive than the Great Famine in Bengal.
But he still has a say in the armies in South Asia that cannot be supported by mud. What's more, he is the commissioner of Hyderabad and a close partner of the current monarch. He is working hard for the future of the Hyderabad state. Even if the military strength of the British Empire is
He is not good at the army.
Hiding the nature of his military illiteracy, Alan Wilson somewhat politically incorrectly used the Army of the Third Reich, the boss of the Axis Powers, as a benchmark, stating that weapons such as tanks are currently necessary for the Hyderabad army.
"Europe has caused two world wars in a few decades. The ideas and tactics that were born in them are a small consolation for this huge destructive power. The Hyderabad army must be equipped with enough tanks to deter potential enemies."
When Alan Wilson spoke, he was decisive and confident.
The words "King of Land War" and "Bu-tank Collaboration" kept coming out of his mouth, coupled with the seemingly incomprehensible but actually bewildered expression on his face, it was not a problem to intimidate a group of high-caste officers. The Peace Cult in South Asia also
Caste-based.
"The world war has now come to an end and the strengths and weaknesses are obvious. How to deal with a large number of armaments in the future is also a problem. Hyderabad needs these armaments. In fact, many princely states also need them, even Ali Jinnah and Nehru.
." Alan Wilson said as he walked, "But whether it is for national interests or private reasons, I hope that those armaments fall into the hands of friendly people."
"The friendship between Hyderabad and the British Empire has been proven through bloody battles time and time again." Abala Khan said half-publicly and half-privately, "It has passed the test of blood and practice."
"I know this, but the issues considered by the London side are more comprehensive. Those London politicians never focus on morality when considering issues. In a sense, I and the young assistants I brought with me are actually still doing it.
They can't make irrational judgments, but those old men can't." Alan Wilson said with a half-smile, "In short, I am absolutely qualified as a friend and will try my best to safeguard the interests of Hyderabad."
Mentioning his importance to Hyderabad is not entirely a boast, and his analysis of London politicians is not entirely slander. What British politicians are like can be understood by looking at the rebellious Americans who follow the same pattern.
Already.
I returned to the British residential area and talked about it with the assistants I brought with me. Not everyone agreed. After all, not all the assistants who had just graduated from school understood the status of British India.
of.
"Commissioner Allen, why are we so concerned about a country?" A female assistant named Alyssa among the ten assistants asked puzzledly, "And this is not something we can decide. Should we inform Delhi?"
aspect."
Alyssa is one year older than Alan Wilson. Although she is not an absolute beauty, she is still a quite attractive woman. She has long red hair draped over her shoulders. At this time, she is standing in front of Alan Wilson with a fair face.
It's full of confusion.
"Who else is as confused as Alice?" Alan Wilson took out a cigarette and lit it, waving his other hand to ask for advice.
All of a sudden, four assistants raised their hands. Alan Wilson nodded and said, "I don't hide this from you because I treat you as one of my own. And to be honest, you and I are in the same situation. Many people treat us badly."
The land under our feet is not so well understood, at least none of you know that both the Congress Party and the Muslim League are striving for independence in India, right?"
"So what? As long as London doesn't allow it, they can still drive us away?" an assistant said dissatisfied.
"Do you think that after this war is over, Britain can still have a chance to breathe like it did after World War I?" Alan Wilson's mouth curled up slightly, "If we really still have that chance, that is of course a good thing.
.But will the Americans and Soviets give us time?”
This is the disadvantage of bringing a group of college students to take office. If you bring old civil servants with work experience, they will know what is going on with just a rhetorical question, but these college students cannot.
Alan Wilson had no choice but to return to the old business of his previous life and conducted an analysis of the current world situation. There was pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union on the outside, and attacks by Nehru and Jinnah on the inside. According to him, the British Empire now has some internal worries.
The meaning of foreign invasion is even more dangerous than when dealing with the Third Reich's attack.
This is how it is. Even if the British Empire faces the attack of the Third Reich alone, with the support of the British colonies, as long as it is brave enough, it may not be able to repeat the glory of World War I.
But now facing the pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union, and the various strata within British India no longer being of the same mind as Britain, it is almost impossible to be tough in order to protect British India.
How powerful the United States and the Soviet Union are, and how powerful their current momentum is, cannot be seen by these students in the colonies.
Later history also proved this. When the British had no choice but to do something, they chose a soft landing and made the colonies in their hands independent in batches, starting with the most important colony, British India, which itself was a compromise with the United States and the Soviet Union.
, indicating that the era of the British Empire calling the shots in this world has passed.
Even if Alan Wilson knew the future trend, he would not have the ability to change history, but that was the United States and the Soviet Union. If they did not give up British India, how could these two countries believe that Britain had really given up its world hegemony?
However, in the process of the British Empire's soft landing, Allen felt that it could still be done to preserve some colonies that were geographically important and easy to control, not as clean as independent ones.
The idea of retaining hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in a colony of more than 30 million square kilometers is not too much.
And the colonial empire is not just the British Empire itself, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and even Portugal are all considered to be run-down aristocrats.
