Of course, these words were not spoken to the assistants in front of them, but Alan Wilson made these assistants understand how to make decisions from the perspective of their own interests, "You must understand that once British India becomes independent, it will become the mainstream in London.
.What is the issue we should consider right now? There are one hundred thousand civil servants and their families in British India now. Will they directly become Indians in the future?"
Seeing these assistants shaking their heads, obviously not interested in becoming Indians, Alan Wilson changed the subject and said, "Then we have to consider another question. Are there so many jobs for those of us who have returned to China?
Can we still stay in the civil service?"
At this point, the meaning is very clear. Civil servants throughout British India, including Alan Wilson, the Hyderabad Commissioner, are now at risk of unemployment. For the sake of future life, it is not too much to strive for their own interests as much as possible.
You must know that they are facing the richest man in the world now.
This time the unification of ideas was very successful. There is no need to imagine the future of unemployment. Outside the British residential area, there are many people in Hyderabad with ragged clothes and idle people, begging with numb eyes. Imagine these hungry people as
themselves, it may be the scene where British India becomes independent and they return to the British mainland.
After understanding this, when discussing the problem later, these assistants became obviously much smarter. They seemed to have grown up in a day and became really like civil servants. The student temperament after leaving the campus had disappeared.
Alan Wilson thought it was not difficult to obtain armaments. At this time in 1945, more than five million troops were fighting under the command of the British. Although the British army was mainly based on the navy, in the world war,
At key points, the army is also huge. Taking tanks as an example, 26,000 tanks, including infantry tanks and cruise tanks, were produced, not counting the number of heavy tanks that followed.
Arming an Indian state is not a problem at all. The only problem is whether anyone will do it seriously.
During his first month in Hyderabad, Alan Wilson was familiar with his work, thinking about how to benefit from Ali Khan, the world's richest man, and play his role in the independence of British India. Although the British
There seems to be no standard answer for Indian independence.
But he also knew that it was impossible for him to exert influence on the independence process of British India just as the Commissioner of Hyderabad. In the two years before independence, Allen still had a lot to do.
Regarding the independence of British India, Alan Wilson certainly had his own ideas. After independence, India should not be too weak, otherwise it would not be able to play a role in checking and balancing the peaceful religious world, but if it was too strong, India would not be content.
And after independence, how will India view the period of being colonized by the British? There is no doubt that India will definitely consider it a national humiliation. The jokes about the British plundering 50 trillion US dollars will be flooded on the Internet in later generations, which can represent the Indians.
idea.
As long as there is no hateful neighbor in the north, Britain will generally be the target of curses by Indians.
While establishing personal friendship with the monarch of Hyderabad, Allen was also in contact with other princely states. As the most powerful princely state in South Asia today, the Hyderabad princely state plays an important role among the more than 500 princely states in India.
It functions as a weathervane. It can be said that many princely states follow the words of the princely state of Hyderabad.
"I have talked with John. Junagadh and Hyderabad are in the same environment. The two princes have a common destiny. If the two princes can establish close ties, whether it is Ali Jinnah or Neh
Lu, especially the latter should be calmer." The John mentioned by Alan Wilson is the commissioner of Junagadh.
The Junagadh state, together with the Hyderabad state, and the well-known Kashmir, are currently the top three independent kingdoms in South Asia. Among them, the 50,000 square kilometers of the Junagadh state has a unique advantage, because this territory
The state is adjacent to Mumbai, India's largest deep-water port.
Mumbai is responsible for more than half of South Asia's maritime transport, and it was also the base of Bollywood in later generations. In fact, the Junagadh princely state was the best-located among the three major princely states, but it was also the first to be destroyed. The monarchs of the Junagadh princely state and
Like Ali Khan, he was a peaceful believer, and the residents of the princely states were mainly Hindus.
The princely states of Junagadh and Hyderabad are like grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape! Once Nehru defeats them one by one, it means that more than 500 princely states will be captured by New Delhi.
"Our two kingdoms are far apart. His situation is much better. He is very close to the northwest." Ali Khan frowned and commented in an objective tone. In fact, it is correct to say that. The Junagadh kingdom is actually the same as the one in Junagadh.
After independence, Pakistan was really close. But it was destroyed earlier than the state of Hyderabad. It didn't even have any decent resistance. It was not as good as Hyderabad, which had fought a bloody battle.
Of course, Allen did not say it out loud. Because of their numerical disadvantage, the Peace Christians did not want to fight against the Hindus when they first became independent. Later, India went too far. The states of Junagadh and Hyderabad, Nehru
Speaking of respecting public opinion, most Hindus want to join India.
But when he arrived in Kashmir, Nehru changed his rhetoric again, saying that the monarch of Kashmir was a Hindu and wanted to join India. I wanted it all, which was why he angered Ali Jinnah and triggered the first India-Pakistan war.
Can the war between India and Pakistan be avoided? Alan Wilson knows that this is impossible, because the Nehru family’s hometown is in Kashmir. The Nehru family were famous scholars during the Mughal Empire, because the Mughal Emperor
After being recruited, he entered the Mughal Empire to expand his influence.
Kashmir is of great significance to the Nehru family. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the land of dragon prosperity. Nehru will never give up his hometown to Pakistan.
Hearing that Ali Khan had mixed feelings about the Junagadh state, Alan Wilson had to take the initiative to encourage him, "With the current momentum of the Congress Party, it is a common situation for many monarchs of the state. Zhu
The monarch of the Junagadh state is the same as you, and the Junagadh state is very close to Bombay, so it has the objective conditions to block the port, so we can take advantage of this."
Alan Wilson quite took on the role of a dog-headed military advisor, and he did his best for Ali Khan. Although he knew that it was almost impossible to prevent Nehru from unifying India with the power of the major princely states, but in case of an unexpected surprise
