But even if it is a large-scale construction plan that is sold as dog meat, it still requires everyone's hard work. We cannot make a plan full of loopholes, otherwise the middle and lower-class Indian civil servants will see it?
Therefore, this plan must be ambitious, believable and sincere, and cannot just start a plan and spend money. Alan Wilson's ideas have already gained consensus among senior civil servants in British India.
Therefore, as the Christmas party nears the end of the year, the British civil servants do not just spend their time in the middle of a meal. They also do not forget about work while having fun, and they do their best to contribute to the development of India.
Many senior civil servants are seniors. Although Alan Wilson is the Assistant Commissioner, he is not critical of these seniors. For example, the road construction plan in Bangladesh Province has a very mature and overall view.
If we don't take into account that flooding occurs all the time in the Ganges Delta, roads and bridges will not last long.
Moreover, once India is partitioned, Greater Bengal will be split into two countries, the bridges will belong to Pakistan, the built roads will be abandoned, and many other reasons. This is a perfect plan.
Storm surges in the Ganges River Delta are mostly caused by hurricanes, which are formed by strongly developing low-pressure centers. In synchronization with the "summer monsoon", tropical cyclones prevail from mid-May to mid-September every year. During this period, there are many convective rains and typhoon rains.
There are frequent lightning flashes and thunder, and heavy rains cause disasters.
The Ganges Delta is low and flat with an average altitude of only ten meters. The area near the Bay of Bengal has an altitude of less than ten meters. The river network is dense and the coastline is funnel-shaped. Storm surges are difficult to disperse and gather near the mouth of the Ganges, forming strong tides that cover the entire land.
Flooding towards the Ganges delta plain can easily cause large-scale flooding.
It is common for hurricanes and heavy rains to occur in the Ganges River Delta. The Himalayas are also responsible for the geographical factors. The entire Ganges River Basin receives ridiculous amounts of precipitation during the rainy season, and the Ganges River Delta is a high-risk area. Once it occurs,
A flood that killed 100,000 or 200,000 people is not a sensational thing at all.
But even so, the impact plain of the Ganges Delta is still the treasure land of the Ganges. After the partition of India and Pakistan, the mouth of the Ganges fell into the hands of other countries, seriously affecting the development of the Ganges Basin.
It is equivalent to having the entire Yangtze River Basin under control, but losing the mouth of the river from Huijing to Shanghai. This development is far from complete.
Different provinces have different advantages. Bangladesh mainly focuses on roads and bridges. Delhi and Mumbai can also have their own projects. Since they are the top two cities, the capital and the import and export trade center, it should not be too much to develop real estate.
?
A map of the distribution of natural resources immediately appeared in front of Alan Wilson and senior civil servants of British India.
From the map in front of them, the gentlemen who are closely united probably already have an idea. India's current industrial areas and resource allocation are actually in the northeastern region near the mouth of the Ganges. The industrial area centered on Kolkata is currently
The most powerful industrial region in British India.
Therefore, the major construction this time is mainly to strengthen the Kolkata Industrial Zone. As for Delhi and Mumbai, just build houses. Once the partition of India and Pakistan occurs, the Kolkata Industrial Zone will collapse.
No wonder Nehru strongly opposed it when the partition of India and Pakistan was first proposed. It turned out that this was where the Bengalis lived and was the essence of the entire British India.
The industrial area centered on Calcutta is the earliest industrial area formed in British India. Linen spinning and machinery are the two major industrial sectors in this area. The Ganges Delta is the jute producing area in India. Calcutta is the center of the linen textile industry in India and is also the center of machinery.
Manufacturing industrial center. Kolkata is the largest city in the Ganges Delta and has long been the largest city in South Asia.
However, all this will say goodbye with the partition of India and Pakistan, and is destined to decline due to political reasons.
"Northeast! The direction is the same! What a great place." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand to rub his chin, and suddenly thought of an old industrial area. The basic conditions were so similar, so he directly decided on the core area of Dajian, and opened his mouth to face
Colleagues around said, "Gentlemen, this is an era of reconciliation. Calcutta is full of diversified charm. It should be the most prosperous place in British India, right? Compared with other places, this is a heavy industrial area. Heavy industry
The development requires a lot of capital investment, a lot of money."
A very, very large investment. This sentence attracted the attention of all the chief executives. But if Calcutta is focused on being the center of the great construction, won't other provinces not be able to get their share? How can that be done?
Faced with this objection, Allen Weir signaled to calm down and said, "Gentlemen, now is the time for unity. If the Indians knew that we are like this, they will laugh at us. We should not limit ourselves to one city and one city.
The gain and loss of land, because it is very likely that there will be no space for us to display our talents in the entire British India.”
"The advantage of concentrating our efforts on doing big things is that when all eyes are fixed on one place, everyone makes their own contribution, and of course everyone has their own share."
"Gentlemen, this is not normal. We are all in the same boat now." Bengal Provincial Administrator Glitt also said, "Collect all the funds in British India, and the movement of every fund will be under your control."
Right under your nose, you can send people to Calcutta to closely monitor the movement of funds."
"Of course we need to carry out large-scale construction in a planned manner. For example, we must strictly establish supporting factories in the residential areas of Hindus and peaceful believers. To use a popular metaphor, we must give Hindus a lock.
, but the key must be in the hands of the peaceful believers, and vice versa."
Alan Wilson explained calmly that the advantage of this is that once the partition of India and Pakistan begins, the entire Kolkata Industrial Zone will collapse as a whole. Even if it is not destroyed all at once, there will be no further development.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! London is still hesitant about the idea of British India, but those present are civil servants of British India. Everyone knows that Ali Jinnah more than once
Publicly declare that we will never stay in the same country as Hindus.
This resolute attitude did not change even after being assassinated. Instead, it became more determined.
When thinking about the distribution of the two major religions, everyone can see the differences when looking at the industrial area of Kolkata.
"We are also trying to bridge the contradictions between the two major religions. As Allen said, this is an era of reconciliation." Bengal Provincial Administrator Glit nodded with understanding, and then said loudly, "This is not just Calcutta or Calcutta.
It is a matter for the province of Bengal and the glory belongs to the whole of British India, including any religion."
"Yes, yes!" The chief executives of each province responded positively, so the key areas for this time's construction have been decided. What remains is what kind of support the provinces can provide. Alan Wilson is not an expert on this
, and these chief executives are required to introduce it.
Looking at his colleagues who spoke freely, Alan Wilson felt quite proud. It should be regarded as a feat for him that counterpart assistance appeared in British India.
Based on the principle of "complementary advantages, mutual benefit, long-term cooperation and common development", both parties should carry out multi-level and all-round cooperation in poverty alleviation assistance, economic and technological cooperation and talent exchange.
But the difference is that the Calcutta Industrial Area itself is the most important industrial area in British India at present.
Therefore, the current counterpart assistance is to help backward areas become richer and richer. The main goal of the construction plan is to drain all funds and talents from other provinces and focus on the construction of the Kolkata Industrial Zone.
We expect this place to become the most competitive place in British India. This is all for the betterment of British India in the future.
However, if there are some twists and turns that no one wants to see in the future, such as the partition of India and Pakistan, naturally all funds and construction will be wasted.
But there is absolutely no responsibility for the gentlemen present here. It is known that this large-scale construction plan has good intentions, and it even has the intention of bridging the place where Hindus and peaceful believers live together and promoting unity.
If the two groups of people have to live separately in the future, causing the disintegration of the entire Kolkata industrial area, the responsibility cannot naturally fall on the gentlemen present. The blame should be on the selfishness of the Congress Party and the Muslim League.
Already having a general direction framework, Alan Wilson quickly sent the preliminary plan to Sir Barron.
Once Sir Barron approves it, he will report to British India. Taking the draft of the large-scale construction plan, Sir Barron said a few questions, "This draft is very detailed, but London will not propose this large-scale construction plan if it is proposed."
What if Kolkata Industrial Area becomes a competitor?”
"Sir Barron, this is a long-term development plan. My colleagues and I believe that now is the time to unleash the potential of British India. There is strength in numbers. I believe that by mobilizing enthusiasm, the ten-year development plan can be fully realized in
Launched at the same time within a year." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "We have both worked in British India for many years, have deep feelings for this land, and are eager to see earth-shaking changes here."
"Okay, I will send this draft to Sir Edward immediately. Don't leave yet. First, I will explain some key points here that the locals may not think about." Sir Barron nodded and called out to Edward who was about to leave.
Len Wilson.
"Oh, I understand!" Alan Wilson stayed very obediently. The annotated document must have been sent to the Cabinet Secretary.
The draft of the construction followed invisible radio waves across half the broken ball and reached the European continent, where it was soon placed on Edward Bridges' desk.
