The British troops stationed in India had different sizes in different periods. During the Indian Rebellion, Britain mobilized 500 British battalions from the mainland, equivalent to 200,000 British soldiers. During World War I, the British standing army stationed in India included
Nearly 70,000 people.
It also does not include British officers and non-commissioned officers of the British Indian Army. During World War II, the troops mobilized from the Dominion and the British mainland and stationed in India roughly ranged from 300,000 to 500,000. This does not include the 2.35 million Indian volunteers.
British officers and British non-commissioned officers in.
At present, the British troops stationed in India are in the process of being evacuated, just like the British troops everywhere after the war. However, there are still 100,000 troops in various parts of British India. Alan Wilson feels that 100,000 British troops are enough.
It can ensure the safety of 100,000 British Indian civil servants. Regardless of the small number of British troops, which were obviously relatively average in the Southeast Asian battlefields during World War II, it does not mean that the British troops cannot really fight.
A certain part of the entire British army is still very good, but as a country that focuses on the navy, the British army can only deal with wars below a certain scale.
Once the scale of the war exceeds the entire limit, the performance of the British army begins to show off. At the same time, the British army has all the fine traditions of the British Empire, such as selling teammates.
At least when facing the Indians, Alan Wilson definitely had this confidence. He did not believe that one hundred thousand British troops would be annihilated in British India. The top leaders of the Congress Party and the Muslim League did not have the courage.
The most important thing is that because of the different opinions on how to deal with British India, London itself is now inconsistent on how to deal with British India, but Alan Wilson and the civil servants of British India can quickly reach an agreement on how to deal with it.
Decision-making time is definitely much faster than in distant London. The return of Alan Wilson made many people very happy. But this definitely did not include Mountbatten himself. He found that his daughter was becoming more and more disobedient.
Fortunately, he had already heard some rumors that London was planning to transfer himself to the Mediterranean Fleet. When the time came, he only had to take his daughter away to stay away from the young assistant commissioner who came back to fight.
Alan Wilson was so busy, so of course he didn't know the malice of Pamela Mountbatten's father towards him. He was busy drawing his sword and looking around to see if there was any place where he needed to step forward.
There are many problems, but they do not necessarily require him to go into battle personally. He cannot weaken the peaceful believers, so the Durand Line is not used. The territorial dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan originated from the Durand Line, which was introduced in 1893.
Under British pressure, Afghanistan received a delegation from Duran, the Foreign Secretary of British India. Afghanistan was forced to accept the Duran Agreement and agreed to the British-Russian arrangement on Afghanistan's eastern border and the British-demarcated southern border of Afghanistan.
At that time, the British submitted the Durand Agreement written in English to King Rahman of Afghanistan, whose main content was to delineate the border between Afghanistan and British India.
Rahman was forced to give up his claims to Swat, Bajar and Chitral, and only retained Asmar.
Accordingly, millions of Shitu people were included in the British Indian side. British India ceased to exist with the independence of India and Pakistan in 2001. Afghanistan and Pakistan once again fell into hostility because of the Durand Line.
Alan Wilson could not attack the areas where Peace Christians gathered in the northwest. This would inflame the arrogance of the Congress Party, which was already in a dominant position. The most important thing was that it was inconsistent with the British Empire's tradition of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak.
As for McMahon’s red line? This line has also appeared long ago, and there is no role for Alan Wilson. From his current position, he does not need to get involved, just pretend that he has not seen it.
In essence, the assistant commissioner still has a soft spot for cashing out. After much deliberation, as a newly appointed assistant commissioner, he first contacted the British office on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The British entered the South Asian subcontinent later than the Portuguese and French, but came from behind. In 1700, the East India Company annexed Kuchibahar in Bhutan and had conflicts with Bhutan. From then on, it touched the edge of the Tibetan Plateau and began to establish
Trade relations.
The current British representative in Tibet is called Li Jisheng. He has been the representative for a long time since 1936. Li Jisheng graduated from Kebler College, Oxford University, England. He joined the Ministry of Indian Affairs in 1930 and was assigned that year.
He went to work in Bangladesh and served as the deputy governor of Tamluk in Midnapur District in the 1930s. During this period, he took advantage of his vacation to visit Sikkim and Pali.
Later, he was transferred to the Foreign and Political Department, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Indian Affairs, where he met Good, the British political attaché in Sikkim, and then became the British representative on the Tibetan Plateau.
Compared with the chief administrators of the eighteen provinces of British India and the commissioners of the fourteen princely states except Alan Wilson himself, Li Jisheng's importance in British India is actually not great. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is indeed a piece of cake.
A place that Alan Wilson would never go to anyway.
The strategic position is important and can be used by knowledgeable people. A drunkard like him will not charge forward. This is just like the nationalists shouting to march into Siberia, but the Northeastern people move south. Those who shout slogans should endure the cold and don't move their mouths.
After receiving the invitation from the new commissioner, Li Jisheng, who was temporarily staying in Sikkim due to heavy snowfall, was overjoyed. Because the telegram was full of hints of possible promotion, he immediately left for New Delhi.
In fact, Alan Wilson had no interest in this representative. His greatest achievement was probably his battle of wits with the Third Reich's inspectors on the plateau before World War II.
When the Third Reich's inspection team entered the plateau, the locals were no stranger to this symbol. "*" or "卍" have special religious meanings in Tibetan Buddhism and ancient Bon religion. They can be found everywhere in the snowy areas.
It can be seen that this symbol has even won the favor of some people. In their view, these people who have traveled thousands of miles to Europe may also be believers in Buddhism.
Li Jisheng, who represented Great Britain, engaged in a intrigue with these Germans on the plateau that was unknown to the public.
Apart from that, there is nothing worthy of praise. Alan Wilson remembers that after the independence of British India, Li Jisheng served the Indians well. This is intolerable. He cannot allow the Indians to receive the British Empire.
heritage.
The British heritage around India must be cashed out before the independence of British India, making it impossible for Indians to accept it.
Perhaps because of the incentive from tobacco factory profits, there was no need to wait until Christmas. Chief executives and commissioners from all over the country had already flocked to express their longing for Alan Wilson. Each and every fat-headed chief executive said that as early as Alan Wilson,
When they were still the Hyderabad commissioner, they felt that this child was not a creature of the pond.
In response to this compliment, Alan Wilson certainly expressed humility and presented a certificate of deposit from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
"Dear gentlemen, Sir Edward is satisfied with the performance of all the gentlemen in such a difficult time. During the post-war period, the determination of the gentlemen to stick to their posts is touching. Now the local economic revitalization plan requires everyone to redouble their efforts.
"
Alan Wilson raised his wine glass and while congratulating everyone, he also expressed his longing for British India, "I look forward to returning to New Delhi all the time and working with everyone, and now I am finally back."
"Alan, if you can get the admiration of the Cabinet Secretary, your future future will be unimaginable." After Alan Wilson expressed his longing for British India, the chief executives of various provinces reciprocated the favor, carrying bank deposit certificates and saying that everyone also expressed their gratitude all the time.
Hope Alan Wilson comes back.
"This time I came back, naturally based on the British Empire's care for British India. With goodwill towards many subjects in South Asia, I returned to the place where the dream began to build India." After having a drink, Alan Wilson said, "
We want to build a new India that will benefit all subjects of British India and make the pearl of the British Empire shine even brighter."
Then Alan Wilson revealed his plan to start a wave of construction in British India immediately, so that all Indians can feel the bright future?
"Why is this?" Burke, the chief executive of the United Provinces, said with some confusion, "What we should do is to transfer as much wealth as possible to the UK, right?"
"That's just one aspect!" Alan Wilson explained with a gentle look, "and it's a very crude method. In fact, there is a better method. We have formulated an economic revitalization plan, and everyone knows that once it is implemented
After it is completed, the whole of India will be strong. But it will not be completed at all! All the funds of British India will be spent. In the plan, we will launch all the hugely expensive projects."
"In agriculture, we have to ensure Europe's demand. I think cotton planting should be expanded next year. After all, the textile industry is a labor-intensive industry and can solve the employment problems of many local citizens."
Alan Wilson talks eloquently and expounds his glorious ideal of building a great India. Nehru and Gandhi are all just for fun. They are all false fathers of India.
The real father of India is Alan Wilson. If great India wants to become great again, it must follow his path.
When all the wealth accumulated in British India is spent, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to just pat their butts and leave together?
"I want all provinces to have electricity, and we should build a dam here."
After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively, and the chief executives of each province began to discuss what projects were suitable for the places they managed. There has never been a time like this when everyone was so concerned about the development of India.
