It’s simply racist! But it has nothing to do with him. The corners of Alan Wilson’s mouth curled up slightly, wondering if the rape label that would become world-famous in India in later generations has now vaguely appeared.
Thinking a little too far, after the meeting, the governors and commissioners of the provinces did not leave, but seized the opportunity to communicate. Sir Barron had prepared red wine and whiskey for these civil servants who had taken the trouble to rush to New Delhi to leave.
I feel like home after feeling tired all over my body.
The unprecedented world war is still going on, but these backbone civil servants in British India are implementing the fine tradition of working hard at the front and working hard at the rear, demonstrating the gentlemanly demeanor that the British Empire can never lose.
As the Commissioner of Hyderabad, Alan Wilson has just shown his mature appearance at a meeting of senior civil servants, which has also attracted the attention of many colleagues. Normally, with such a young face, Alan Wilson would definitely be ostracized.
and indifference, but in British India in 1945, in such a special period, this was not the most important thing.
For these people who have reached the top level of civil servants in British India, they are now more concerned about the issue of whether British India exists. Once British India becomes independent as some voices in London say, what will inevitably follow?
One hundred thousand civil servant families will return to the UK. How many of them can continue to work in respected jobs? This is a big question!
Compared with this major event, Alan Wilson's sudden appointment as Hyderabad Commissioner is no longer an important matter. It can only be regarded as a small incident in the process of great changes.
"To be honest, Ali Jinnah and Nehru should not be looking for trouble at this time." Burke, a senior official in Bangladesh, was very optimistic about the Congress Party and the Muslim League's support for the war.
When these words were spoken, many high-ranking officials and commissioners nodded. Although the troubles caused by the Congress Party and the Muslim League have become more and more serious in recent years, basically the Governor-General of British India and their civil servants still control the situation. Neh
Roux and Ali Jinnah caused more trouble for each other.
"I also agree with Burke's idea. If you don't cooperate with our work at this time, it will only give us the opportunity to deal with them. The dislike between the Congress Party and the Muslim League is still greater than that of us." United Provinces
The senior officials nodded without thinking. When dealing with these two major forces, Britain's long-term political experience has played a role. It is also what the British Empire is best at doing. Divide and rule, which is what everyone does in Europe.
At this time, neither the Congress Party nor the Muslim League wanted the Government-General and the Colonial Office to stand on the other side and be hostile to them, thus worrying about gains and losses, and did not dare to take a tough stance.
"Fairness and justice will be passed down from generation to generation. This is also the best tradition of the British Empire." Burke suddenly raised his glass to Alan Wilson and said, "As for Alan at such a young age, he already has this understanding. I feel for the old Wilson.
Happy."
"Thank you." Alan Wilson also raised his glass. In fact, the relationship between the two parties was not estranged. After arriving in India, the old Wilson worked in Calcutta, which is the center of Bengal Province.
Although there was such a minor flaw as the Bengal Famine, if one seriously digs into the details, old Wilson must not be able to take all the credit for it, and Burke must share it anyway.
The precious friendship forged during the Bengal Famine allowed Burke, a senior official of the Bengal Province, to come forward at a critical moment to accept Alan Wilson. It also meant that these senior civil servants in British India had officially accepted the Commissioner of Hyderabad.
Candidate.
Better late than never. Even according to history, British India will still exist for at least two more years. During this time, everyone can stuff their thick suitcases with banknotes and return home in glory.
Besides, what if British India can continue to exist? Isn’t it enough to just fantasize?
But the most important thing to Alan Wilson now is still the responsibility of the dog-headed military advisor of the Hyderabad Monarch. As an honest person, he will never deny that he is more concerned about his relationship with Ali Khan than he is about the British.
If he is working in India, he will have to have a good talk with the commissioner of Junagadh state.
For Sir Barron, he still has to continue to communicate with the Congress Party and the Muslim League, hoping to get the support of the two largest local forces in British India when victory is already in sight.
This occasion was completely a communication between Sir Barron and the Indian forces. The governors and commissioners of each province were in New Delhi to resolve private matters. Alan Wilson also regarded his return to New Delhi as a vacation, chatting and hanging out with John.
"Indians are such good servants. I wonder what London's final opinion is." Although he was young, Alan Wilson sounded like an old imperialist as soon as he opened his mouth. The two of them took a relaxed walk and finally stopped in front of a stall.
Seeing that there was some dust on the leather shoes on his feet, he sat directly in front of the shoe shiner, seizing the time to enjoy the imperialist treatment in the future capital of India.
John followed suit when he saw it, and sat down to solve the employment problem of the Indian people. The two British gentlemen were chatting on the colonial land as if there was no one around.
"No matter what the final result is, we can't go back empty-handed. In fact, it's a good thing that we work in a princely state. The local Maharaja is skeptical of the Congress Party and the Muslim League. Our support is needed at this time. We can also use this opportunity
kind of support to solve your own problems.”
Satisfied with the shiny leather shoes, Alan Wilson took out the rupees in his hand as a reward to the shoe shiner with a humble smile. He thought to himself, how did he come to the time when the British Empire was declining? What bad luck! There are no better days.
How long.
Alan Wilson himself cannot be criticized for his backward thinking. If a person can put his hands on clothes and food and open his mouth, who will choose to work hard?
"Ali Khan wants to promote some kind of alliance between the princely states. If this thing is done, you and I will be generously thanked." Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "I believe John, you also know about the Junagadh princely state.
In terms of status among these princely states, compared with Kashmir, which is larger in area, Junagadh princely state is located on the west coast, not far from Mumbai. Such a good location is much better than remote Kashmir. The area is not small, and the geographical location is not bad.
Mr. Ali Khan very much hopes to have the help of the Junagadh state when facing the Congress Party and the Muslim League."
John stretched out his hand to rub the stubble that had just grown on his chin, and said calmly, "We should think about what kind of way out we can use the power in our hands."
"Ali Khan was the richest man in the world a few years ago." Alan Wilson made a pun, and there is much talk about this matter.
In just a few words, the two princely state commissioners had reached a consensus on looting India's wealth, committing an unprecedented theft.
It cannot be said that the matters between the commissioners of the princely states cannot be described as theft. These are all matters within their own scope. The two of them have the right to seek benefits for the princely state which has a good relationship with the British Empire.
