He came up with the British version of the theory of ten wins and ten losses and asked Ali Khan to think along his own lines. Alan Wilson was even thinking about the legacy of the Third Reich. After the defeat, the Germans should have many submarines in their hands, right? As long as Zhu Zhu
The Najad state has the financial resources to purchase it, which can be regarded as a continuous contribution to the post-war war.
As for the princely states of Mysore and Travancore, which are located south of the Deccan Plateau and are powerful in South India, it is even easier for Alan Wilson to contact them because of the special nature of the princely state of Hyderabad.
Because of the relationship, as the Commissioner of Hyderabad, he is also responsible for the management and control of these princely states.
One characteristic of British India is that the north is poor and the south is rich. How could it be that South India has fewer people and its per capita resources are much greater than those in the north. On the contrary, the vast majority of the population is concentrated in North India in the Ganges and Indus river basins. There is indeed great competition pressure.
big.
Alan Wilson sent the several assistants he brought to Mysore State, Travancore State and other places respectively, which can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility as Hyderabad Commissioner. He didn't know when they would be gone.
British India contributed.
After he really started to have bad intentions towards British India, Alan Wilson discovered that there were still many places to make a fuss about. It could not be said that the Congress Party, which now has many supporters, could not unify the country, but that Nehru would have to spend more time to do so.
It is not difficult to achieve the goal.
"Dear Maharaja, to be honest, you are in the same environment as all the princes of the princely states. You have the position to unite these princes, because in the eyes of the Congress Party, there is only one long-term purpose for you princely states.
, that is to make you disappear in a unified India, please forgive me for being so direct, but the fact is so true."
Alan Wilson said with a serious face, "A single independent state has no ability to resist the Congress Party. Only a few powerful independent states can unite together, or even an alliance of all the independent states can guarantee your status. I will send a few
The assistants visited the southern states and also did work in this area. Of course, this cannot be said publicly. Now the Governor-General still has to unite the Congress Party."
"The war is not over yet. The Governor-General and even London have to maintain the stability of India. Of course we do not want British India to be independent. But if independence becomes a foregone conclusion, I can only try my best to help you privately. In a non-public situation, it is now clear
With this in mind, in terms of strengthening relations with the Junagadh state, I will help you complete this matter when I return to New Delhi."
"You have only been here for a month, are you going back to New Delhi?" Ali Khan was a little surprised. He had to admit that Alan Wilson was too happy with him on a moral level. He was completely thinking from the perspective of Hyderabad. This was
Something not seen in previous commissioners.
Although there were many people in the former Hyderabad Commissioner who did a good job on the surface, the arrogance hidden deep inside could still be seen. But this young man was different. When he heard that Alan Wilson was going to return to New Delhi, he actually didn't want to.
The idea of letting the other person leave.
Allen is of course different. The previous commissioner did not know that British India was likely to become independent soon, but he knew it. Since he knew that there was a high probability that it would be unstoppable, why not quickly make some money from the world's richest man?
"I'm just going for a routine report. I'm not being transferred. If your Majesty has anything to do, you can leave it to my assistants and they will notify me. It's the same." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, dispelling Ali Khan's concerns.
This time, he felt that the regular meeting might be related to the ongoing Burmese campaign. Now the British and Indian Army were launching a fierce attack on Burma. As the richest colony, British India would definitely shed blood and sweat. There is a famous saying.
Well, the British Empire will never surrender until the Indian blood is shed.
This regular meeting is indeed closely related to the current war. In addition to the Battle of Burma in front of British India, on the Western Front of the European battlefield, the German offensive in the Ardennes Counterattack finally stopped, and the Allied forces on the Western Front relaxed
In one breath, the scene of being driven into the sea in 1940 was not repeated.
The Ardennes Counterattack is over, and the road for the Allied forces on the Western Front to attack the German mainland has been cleared. Of course, for British India, the Ardennes Counterattack is just a talking point. The British and Indian Army's attack on Burma is the most important
important.
"I'm really surprised that Nehru is looking for trouble in the Governor's House every day, but he doesn't seem to have any objections to the Burma War?" When Commissioner Junagadh met Alan Wilson, the two quickly got along and talked about the current Burma War.
.
"Maybe it's because of the Burma Province in British India? I'm also just guessing." Alan Wilson smiled. British Burma was once a province under the jurisdiction of British India until 1937.
.
In Nehru's eyes, maybe Burma will be part of India after independence, but it will definitely not succeed. The British have separated Burma from the provincial units of British India in advance, and become independent from India and become British again.
Myanmar. Even if Nehru really had any thoughts about Myanmar, he could only think about it.
"The monarch of Junagadh, are you satisfied with your work?" After casually fooling around with the Burmese issue, Alan Wilson thought of his important task as Ali Khan's dog-headed military advisor, and inquiring about the other party's side.
Work.
"Fortunately, Salaman Khan is quite cooperative." John said concisely and concisely, "There is no conflict between us."
It was not enough that there was no conflict. Just as Alan Wilson was about to speak, the secretary had already appeared and asked the commissioners from the provinces and states to enter the conference room. Everyone stood up and entered the conference room in twos and threes.
Senior officials and commissioners from the seventeen provinces of British India, as well as several famous princely state commissioners, entered the conference room. Sir Barron was already waiting inside. After everyone took their seats, the highest meeting representing British civil servants began.
In 1945, it was not uncommon to have high-level Indian civil servants in British India, but British India was a dual administration, and no Indians participated in this meeting.
Sir Barron first expressed in a joyful tone that after the Ardennes Counterattack, Germany had lost its offensive power. Now it was only a matter of time before the Allied forces on the Western Front invaded Germany. He even optimistically stated that the European war would be over soon.
The optimistic forecast for the end of the year was met with applause.
Alan Wilson also applauded. He felt that the European battlefield war should end at the same time as history, and it would end in half a year at most. Sir Barron's prediction was already very conservative.
"But we cannot be blindly optimistic. The fighting on the battlefield in Southeast Asia is still going on, and the Japanese troops in Burma are still resisting tenaciously." Sir Barron lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said with a smoky tone, "Now the British and Indians are still resisting tenaciously."
The legion is still fighting, and what we do is to ensure the needs of the soldiers as much as possible. This is also the purpose of everyone coming here. British India must make every effort to ensure the supplies of the expeditionary force."
