In Alan Wilson's words, when the British Empire needed an image spokesperson to calm the anger of the people of British India, an actor should make sacrifices. Patriotism is a basic requirement, whether he is a movie queen or something else.
Is it too much to ask an actor to spend some time and come to British India for the benefit of the British Empire? Alan Wilson thinks it is not too much, because it shows that the entire UK has recognized Vivien Leigh’s status. Otherwise,
Why don't you invite others?
"That makes sense. In fact, to promote the protection of women's rights, Vivien Leigh's image is of course the most appropriate." Pesik-Lawrence frowned and thought for a long time, and he must admit in his heart that apart from Vivien Leigh, there is really no one else.
There are other candidates who have both image and influence.
While I was thinking about this and had not yet made up my mind, Alan Wilson added fuel to the fire, "Vivien Leigh was born in British India. From what I know about Indians, Indians are actually very vain and would like to see some...
If a celebrity has a relationship with India, it will definitely have unexpected effects."
Vivien Leigh was born in Darjeeling, a small town located in West Bengal, India. Due to its high altitude and location on a wind-sheltered hillside, it is cool and pleasant in summer. Coupled with the fragrant tea gardens, it has become a summer resort.
During the British Raj, this place developed as a mountain resort for British residents to escape the hot summers on the plains. Many people climbed the southern foothills of the Himalayas on horseback and experienced an extraordinary adventure life.
Alan Wilson is not lying. It should be said that the strong mentality is common in backward areas, but it is more or less a problem. At one time, China also had the idea that blood is thicker than water towards overseas Chinese, but in fact, except for Malaysia
Outside of the Chinese ethnic group, overseas Chinese are generally not friendly towards their fellow racers.
As long as you don't meet a fellow countryman and meet a fellow countryman, stabbing them once can be regarded as a sign of friendship because blood is thicker than water.
As for India, the situation is even more serious. Any Indian CEO of a large international company will be published in Indian newspapers, arousing the pride of many Indians. Compared with China who came from that era, there were
Nothing less.
That is all in the 21st century, and in India, which is still colonized by the British, this mentality will only become more serious.
As long as Vivien Leigh arrived in British India and said a few casual words, such as "I am the daughter of India," it is estimated that hundreds of millions of Indians will welcome her. The arrival of this international movie queen may even trigger a trend of imitation.
After hearing that Vivien Leigh was born in British India, Perthick-Lawrence was finally convinced and decided to let the current British treasure serve as a bridge between the British Empire and the colonies.
"You can use some extra influence, maybe there will be unexpected effects." Pesik-Lawrence decided to give it a try.
"This method can be called the flexible use of soft power." Alan Wilson was already preparing to send a telegram. For the stability and prosperity of British India and the future of the entire British Empire, this kind of thing cannot be delayed for a moment.
He also helped the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs propose the use of soft power. Alan Wilson was really excited just thinking about it.
The imperial mission telegram written by Alan Wilson himself was delivered to London that day. It also included Alan Wilson's talk about the use of soft power, saying that when used well, a movie queen can be as useful as a fleet.
Soft power refers to spiritual power, including political power, cultural power, diplomatic power and other soft elements. Facing the current British India, the British Empire must use culture, values, social systems, etc. to affect its own development potential and charisma.
factors, rather than relying solely on the Royal Navy.
The most important thing is that the Royal Navy is now the second largest military force in the world. The navy is actually very embarrassing. As long as it is not number one, no matter where it is, it is almost the same in the eyes of the number one.
However, for colonies like British India, the Royal Navy can still play the role of hard power to set off soft power. The combination of the two may have a better effect.
Vivien Leigh, an international film queen who was born in British India, was an excellent soft power tool in Alan Wilson's eyes. The telegram hoped that Vivien Leigh could shoulder the imperial responsibilities and do her part for the British Empire.
Soon the Indian Affairs Department sent Alan Wilson's telegram to the Cabinet Secretary Sir Edward and forwarded it to Prime Minister Attlee.
Sir Edward elaborated on the situation of British India in detail, and finally said, "Now the civil servants at the Governor's House in India are trying their best to maintain the superficial stability of British India, just so that the locals can extract as much of the wealth of British India as possible.
The effect of building up the mainland is very obvious. British India's expenditures dropped significantly in the first month of this year, and the funds provided to the mainland have increased compared with when things improved from November."
"Judging from the current trend, the end of the rationing system in the mainland is not far away, but this must also take into account the work of the British-occupied trade committee."
At least there has been a good start. Data from all aspects prove that the situation in the UK is improving, and the pressure on Prime Minister Attlee has indeed been greatly reduced.
Of course, this improvement was based on the strict rationing system in the British-occupied areas of Germany, the deprivation of surplus value, and the withdrawal of funds from British India.
Although it is a bit immoral, who made British India a colony and Germany a defeated country? Seeing the improvement of the local economy, Prime Minister Attlee did not care whether it was moral or not. It would be very important if Britain could recover as soon as possible.
Morality.
"Soft power?" Prime Minister Attlee listened to Sir Edward's words and said with a wry smile, "This kind of influence should have some effect. When did we start relying on this kind of thing? But now the mainland is still recovering, so it can be used
As long as it has an effect, we will not reject it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a prime minister who was appointed at the critical moment, Attlee’s most important thing now is to pull Britain out of the quagmire. As for morality and immorality, we can talk about this kind of thing later.
.After all, he is the British Prime Minister, not the German Chancellor or the Governor-General of British India.
Naturally, Vivien Leigh's matter could not appear in the discussion between the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister. Sir Edward just took a look at it and left it to the Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs to handle the matter.
Soon Vivien Leigh met the civil servants from the Ministry of Home Affairs, hoping that Vivien Leigh could contribute to the country, become a bridge between the British mainland and British India, promote the civilization of the civilized world, expand the British influence in British India, and all kinds of great things.
excuse.
Although it was narrated in a consultative tone, he still expressed the hint that he should not refuse, either openly or secretly. He also said that this was an opportunity to represent the image of the British Empire, and it was a huge honor to become the spokesperson of the country.
"I am willing to make my own contribution to peace." When Vivien Leigh heard about the status of national spokesperson, she felt quite relieved and expressed that she was willing to give up other jobs and go to British India to change the situation of Indian women.
Leaving aside local matters, after communicating with the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the three cabinet ministers have understood that it is basically impossible, if not impossible, to bridge the contradiction between the two religions.
Of course, the negotiations still have to continue, because this is a task assigned by the Prime Minister, but in addition, the three cabinet ministers have begun to change in different aspects. To put it simply, they are picking up the sweet words and adopting a pragmatic attitude to deal with the British India.
Complex situation.
When Secretary of Commerce Cripps appeared in public, he praised the construction of the Calcutta Industrial Zone and said that once the construction is completed, it will be a day when British India will be reborn. He even said that he has seen a glorious future and that India will have a new look.
, appears in the eyes of the world.
Admiral Alexander, from the perspective of British India's two world wars, stated that India has all the strong elements. At the same time, he also spoke for Indian soldiers in British military bases everywhere, saying that the London government has always attached great importance to the welfare of Indian soldiers and stated that it will
Discriminatory behavior against Indian soldiers is strictly prohibited. Any discrimination against Indian soldiers by British officers is immoral and should be condemned.
Finally, he said that the Governor-General of India has started to improve the treatment of Indian soldiers. However, there are too many soldiers involved, so it may take several months to a year to make plans.
Of course there is such a plan. Alan Wilson cannot forget the contribution of Indian soldiers in the war. When British India becomes independent, he will completely hand over the plan to improve the treatment of soldiers to Nehru.
I hope that by then India, with its finances exhausted and the Kolkata Industrial Zone disintegrated, will have the financial resources to allow Nehru to implement the plan to improve the treatment of soldiers.
The Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of the Navy respectively elaborated on India's advantages from different perspectives, leaving little time for the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, Perthik Lawrence.
In the end, we can only start from the fields in which we are good at, praising Indian women as the most attractive women in the world, and then extend it to Indian men, using words such as hardworking and brave to show their optimism for British India.
.
"How can this be more unreliable than my bragging about India's nuclear war?" Alan Wilson had a sour expression when he saw in the newspaper the praise of Indian Affairs Secretary Perthik Lawrence for the Indians.
At least Alan Wilson believed that what he told was a lie, and no knowledgeable person would believe those fabricated histories.
Compared with Alan Wilson Tuyile's falsified history, Pesik Lawrence's statement is very destructive. These ministers are no worse than professional actors when it comes to acting.
