"Isn't this bad?" Sir Barron looked at the German watch on his wrist and changed the topic, "Don't tell me it's quite suitable."
"It's a perfect fit. It's almost tailor-made." Alan Wilson deeply agreed with this, although he didn't know which German the owner of this watch was.
"As you said, time is a precious thing. Among the civil servants in British India, I actually think very highly of you." Sir Barron calmly changed the subject and encouraged Alan Wilson.
, "Many of your ideas are actually very reasonable. For example, in whose hands should the great British Empire be? The status of colonies is really important to civil servants."
"Of course, Sir Barron, it's all under your guidance that I finally became one of ours." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude to Sir Barron for his promotion. "Of course the cornerstone and order of the empire depend on us,
Rather than them..."
"They were selected by their constituency party organizations, by thirty-five men in dirty raincoats and thirty-five women in ridiculous hats. The subsequent selection process was equally ridiculous.
: There are only 630 members in total. A party with more than 300 members will form a government. Among these 300 people, 100 are too old and stupid to become ministers, and the other 100 people are also impossible.
Become ministers. So the remaining one hundred members fill one hundred government positions. In fact, there is no choice."
Sir Barron nodded with satisfaction. That is the fact. The UK is divided into more than 600 constituencies, and each constituency elects a member of Parliament. The ministers and prime ministers, including the shadow cabinet, are also members and are responsible for their respective
different constituencies.
In the British general election, parties are selected, and the party that wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons is in power. The Queen will invite the leader of the party with the majority of seats to serve as Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister will then select cabinet ministers from among the members of the party.
There is no doubt that the British Empire was successful as a colonial empire, but what does this have to do with those parties? Just focusing on the small local areas, thousands of square kilometers of colonies laid the foundation for the empire on which the sun never sets.
Is it impossible for a colony to survive without the minister? No...
Without the Labor Party and the Conservative Party, as long as there is a mature civil administration system, the British Empire will not change at all, and maybe it will be better.
"Although this is a fact, you must remember that the ministers represent the public opinion. You cannot say this in the mainland." Although Sir Barron felt secretly happy, he still reminded him with a straight face, "Fortunately, this is a colony. You
They are our people again, otherwise things will be difficult to handle. You should have a good talk with the National Congress Party. In fact, since the beginning of the year, I have been considering whether to work in a position that is leisurely but also contributes."
Alan Wilson knew that a so-called leisure and contribution position meant that there were not so many things to do every day, but the remuneration should not be less, but who knew how credible Sir Barron's words were.
What if it was just a test? Alan Wilson objected without thinking, "Sir Barron, you don't have such an idea. This is a troubled time for the country. British India is extremely important to the economic revitalization of the country and cannot make any mistakes. If
Without you here to take charge, wouldn’t the 100,000 civil servants be in chaos?”
"Even if you want to be leisurely, this environment really doesn't allow it!" Sir Barron sighed half-seriously, and rounded off his words, just to express his recognition and support for Alan Wilson.
I knew this was a test! Alan Wilson secretly murmured in his heart that being the boss of a hundred thousand civil servants in British India is equivalent to the local Sir Edward. How hard does it have to be to think of retirement?
Moreover, British India has a higher mountain than the emperor, and Sir Barron has even more freedom than the cabinet secretary. If it were Alan Wilson, he would definitely stay until the colony becomes independent. As long as the colony is not independent, he will not leave and must stand at the end.
One shift.
"He's not testing me, is he?" It wasn't until Sir Barron left the Government House that Alan Wilson realized in hindsight that the scene just now seemed to have some other meaning.
In fact, Alan Wilson's guess was correct. Although Sir Barron took great care of Alan Wilson, he did not expect that the little commissioner who was driven away by Nehru under pressure would become a leader in Europe in just over half a year.
After many hardships, he was favored by the Cabinet Secretary and returned to New Delhi as the Assistant Commissioner of British India.
Alan Wilson is so young and his ideas are so fantastic, which has to make Sir Barron himself feel a sense of crisis. After all, it is not good news for an overly capable deputy to rise so quickly.
Now that he is already the Assistant Commissioner at such a young age, wouldn’t he be replaced as the Commissioner of British India in the future?
However, Alan Wilson's very good performance just now dispelled Sir Barron's doubts. Although he still looks a bit younger, his desire to improve is understandable.
As long as it was pleasing to the eye, any previous feeling of threat to his own existence also disappeared. Sir Barron himself considered the problem from a different angle without being interfered by anyone.
Although Alan Wilson is young and has risen very quickly, there is a limit after all. There is not much difference between assistant commissioner and commissioner on paper, but it is not easy to complete this leap. Qualifications and connections are both indispensable. Short-term
There would be no threat to him, the Commissioner of British India, for a long time.
"I really didn't expect that a Crouching Dragon and a Phoenix would appear in the small Governor's Mansion today." Alan Wilson, who was also getting off work, recalled his work experience today and realized that he encountered at least two ideas today.
Experts, with a little bit of luck, can get away with it without any risk.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the first time he has felt tempted. If he was not too stupid before, then his status is not enough to pose a threat to these senior civil servants, but now he is at least regarded as one thing.
.
Being despised also means being insignificant, being valued means being treated like this, so everything is a mixed bag.
In fact, the mixed blessings can also be applied to the independence issue of British India. Both major religions are in one country. After independence, India will naturally be stronger, but internal friction will also increase. Can he remember that the British Empire in later generations
India is the paradise of 600 million peaceful believers and 900 million Hindus.
If these people were all in the same country, it is estimated that a world war would not make Indians raise their heads to take a look, because they are just small scenes that happen all the time in India.
Nehru went back to discuss with the Congress party, but Alan Wilson still maintained his nine-to-five job. By the way, he asked what Ali Jinnah, the life-long enemy of the Congress party, was doing.
As an advanced country that attaches great importance to human rights, it is very normal for civil servants in the British Empire to take the fifth grade and the second grade. As New Year's Day was approaching, the weather in New Delhi was not too cold, so Alan Wilson secretly went to find Pamela Mountbatten in an indomitable spirit.
.
The little girl is still very innocent. She went to an all-girls school in New Delhi. She is the daughter of General Mountbatten. She has a high status and is not exposed to intrigues. She has no idea about the evils of society.
In Pamela Mountbatten's sixteen years of life experience, the most dangerous thing in life was when she was taught by Alan Wilson that Indians cannot be trusted.
Recently, he is sending people to search for places where floating corpses are concentrated in the Ganges River, preparing to guide local public opinion. After all, Alan Wilson is not an Indian, and it will take a certain amount of time to search as a British person. But as for Indians' disrespect for women,
References to various atrocities against women have appeared in London newspapers.
"Actually, men and women trust each other and are attracted to each other. It's very normal to take that step. But a man can't force a woman!" Except for the excessive feeding, Alan Wilson has not forgotten how he treated the Iron Lady. Of course, this did not delay him in Palmyramont.
Barton spoke nonsense in front of him.
Alan Wilson, who acted as a man who respects women's identity, would make dirty jokes and make Pamela Mountbatten blush. She covered her ears with her hands and shook her head and said, "I won't listen anymore, I won't listen anymore. Don't talk about this all the time. India
If a man hurts a woman, why don't you catch him?"
"Don't tell me, it's really a good idea." Alan Wilson thought about it seriously after hearing this. "But it is very difficult to implement. First of all, it is a shameful thing. Almost all the grassroots police officers are from India.
Man, if this is a case that obviously tarnishes the image of Indians, the Indian police will probably ignore it. How many people can we British arrest?"
"You just said you respect women, and now you say you can't do it." Pamela Mountbatten touched her feverish ears and snorted softly, "This makes it hard for me not to feel that you were lying to me just now. You just wanted to
Take advantage of me!"
"It should be possible to specifically select a few big cities and use religious conflicts as a reference. This is the limit. In vast rural areas, there is really no way."
Faced with the embarrassing fact that Pamela Mountbatten was about to expose himself as a hypocrite, Alan Wilson made a decisive decision to make decisive decisions for the security of British India.
All of a sudden, Alan Wilson had an idea. Isn't there a group of Hindus called goddesses?
The local citizens do not yet know that this can be used as an entry point to sort out the bad habits of civil servants in British India. Even if it is only a nominal objection, it can make local women look at civil servants like Ellen Wilson with admiration.
Every time the image of a civil servant in British India is established, the image of British India will in turn suffer a major blow. But this is not his problem, it is the problem of Indians.
The solemn statement of the Assistant Commissioner of British India made Pamela Mountbatten nod, finally maintaining his personal image.
