Alan Wilson has not yet received a telegram from the United States, and he does not know that what he is thinking is similar to Derek's, but the two people have different priorities. One is for the enterprise, and of course the United States will benefit in the end.
What he was thinking about was how to benefit the British Empire, that is, to establish a relationship between the upper echelons of Britain and India. This is also the law of historical development. The upper echelons of India already have relations with the United Kingdom.
Alan Wilson doesn't know who did this in history, but he is doing it now.
In fact, it is not certain that the British Empire completely lost its influence after losing all its colonies.
In the original British colonies, many mining companies chose London to be listed. In the 21st century, there are more than 200 African mining companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a total value of one trillion pounds.
Even many Africans know this clearly. As for India's upper class, it has always been deeply influenced by the British.
This is just like France holding on to its colonies in Africa. Britain and France just have different emphasis on means. In the financial field, Britain is definitely more successful than France. In later generations, London will still be the second largest city after the United States.
Big financial center.
Otherwise, how could the British domestic industry be on an equal footing with France's comprehensive industrial country when almost nothing was left after being devastated by the Iron Lady? It relied on its financial control of the former colonies and was smarter than France.
There are also negative impacts. Just as there are more and more Africans in France, there are more and more South Asian faces on the streets in the UK.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, secondary powers such as Britain and France adopted different policies for different countries.
For the former colonies, they tried to win over a small number of talented people and powerful local elite families, but they did not let go of the large-scale introduction of labor.
The introduction of labor starts from Eastern Europe, and citizens of Eastern European countries are given work visas.
The number of people from Eastern Europe is actually much larger than the number of people from former colonies. The reason why it seems that there are more black people in Britain and France is because the skin color of black people can be seen at a glance. Most people cannot tell the difference between Eastern Europeans and citizens of Britain and France on the surface.
of.
But citizens of Britain and France, at least the British, can tell the difference between Eastern Europeans and their own citizens. Although Polandball is not a British original, it is very popular among British netizens. The reason is that Poles are used to refer to the influx of Eastern Europeans into the country.
people within the territory.
Distributing British residency status is Alan Wilson's current job. He hopes that Britain can complete an orderly evacuation from British India, rather than, as in history, Mountbatten took office with dissatisfaction and used his full power to act arbitrarily.
British India became independent, and London only realized it later.
Since it is an orderly retreat, all aspects must be considered as to how to take away the most valuable part of British India.
First of all, all feudal princes have to consider it. Small feudal states can be ignored. Things are rare and valuable. For example, the top fifteen powerful feudal families cannot be left behind. The rest need to be identified. They are not much better than the landlords.
As a country, just stay in India and make contributions.
There are also the current industrialists in British India. After all, it is a huge colony, and Britain cannot cover everything. It always needs the help of local Indian elites, such as the Tata family, which has become famous now.
For a long time, the Tata family has been synonymous with the richest people in India. Although many members of the group of monarchs like Ali Khan are wealthier than the Tata family, among the business class, the Tata family has absolute influence.
Powerful.
For a family like the Tatas, Alan Wilson will grant British citizenship regardless of whether the other party is willing or unwilling, and the Tatas have no reason to refuse.
The Tata family's faith is Zoroastrianism, which was the state religion of the ancient Persian Empire. When the Arab Empire punched Eastern Rome and kicked Sasanian Persia, the Peace Cult also expanded. The ancestors of the Tata family fled to
Persians in India.
This group of people believed in Zoroastrianism and were later called Parsis. They mainly lived in Bombay and several towns and villages in the north of the city. Soon after Bombay came under the control of the East India Company, various regulations were promulgated.
Full tolerance of all religions.
So the Parsis began to move to Bombay. The expansion of Bombay during the colonial period was largely due to their industrial and commercial capabilities. By the 19th century, the Parsis had become a wealthy community.
The Tatas are descended from the Parsis, the richest ethnic group in British India.
Alan Wilson has already sent people to contact the Tatas. Once the partition of India and Pakistan causes a vendetta, I believe that the Parsis, who fled to the subcontinent because of religious wars, will leave a way out for themselves.
Regarding the merchant class in British India, Alan Wilson will draw up a list of a total of one hundred families in the coming time and grant them the right of residence to travel to Britain at any time.
At this time, Edel, the secretary to the commissioner of the Governor's Mansion, pushed in the door. Alan Wilson raised his head and said, "Edel, please sit down. What's the news?"
"These are statistics sent by high-ranking officials from various walks of life." Edel said as he took them out and read them out. "The reported figures from the United Provinces are that 3,530 people died from famine and hot weather, and the figures from Bengal Province are
One thousand, five hundred and forty-eight people, northwest..."
Alan Wilson looked serious. After listening to the reported numbers so far, he realized that these were all human tragedies and deserved to be taken seriously. Then he said, "Invert the terms famine and hot weather and change them to death from hot weather and famine."
, there is no problem with the numbers, and there is no need to verify them. They are included in the statistics. Regarding the matter of mobilizing all the fishery harvests from the Andaman Islands to the subcontinent to deal with the drought, it must be done immediately. Oh, what does our Lord Barron think?
.”
You don’t need to look at it to know that the death numbers reported by the provinces must be false. You don’t even have to think about it. The figures produced are still round and round, and it’s all thanks to the hard work of the chief executives of the provinces.
However, Alan Wilson cannot expose it with a strong sense of justice. This is very consistent with the tradition of the subcontinent. Since the infection number is high, he will brag about the cure rate, and when people believe the cure rate, he will slowly lower the number.
This is the average level for most of the world, and there is nothing to blame. As for the famine in British India, India is not the Soviet Union, so it has no right to be concerned.
"Sir Barron means that you can just handle these matters. Young officials should be given opportunities to exercise." There was a hint of envy in Edel's tone, as if Assistant Commissioner Allen was even more excited since the news that the new governor was about to take office.
Has been reused.
"Things still need to be approved by Lord Barron. I can only do specific work, and there is still a lot to learn." Alan Wilson looked modest, and did not show up because of the news that the new governor was General Mountbatten.
The slightest change.
If there is a change, it is that he works harder. At least he does not have to do time management. All the extra time is devoted to serving India.
"By the way, Alyssa sent a private telegram from Hyderabad, Alan, read it yourself." Edel handed the telegram to Alan Wilson, and even thought maliciously that maybe Alyssa was Alan Wilson's mistress
, otherwise why would he always send private telegrams? Every time he sent them, Alan Wilson would personally act as the translator to prevent others from knowing what was on the telegrams.
"Oh, thank you." Alan Wilson, who had suffered an unfair injustice, reached out and took the telegram, not knowing the malicious suspicion of the commissioner's secretary. He was justified in this matter. Alyssa and him, at least so far, were innocent.
Subordinate relationship.
Soon Alan Wilson went to the telegraph room, did the translation work himself, and muttered clearly, "Vivian's news."
The contact information with Vivien Leigh was to ask Vivien Leigh to send the telegram to Hyderabad, and then forward it to Alan Wilson through Alyssa. Although it was a bit cumbersome, it was better than safety.
He could not blatantly seek personal gain in the Governor's Palace, where General Mountbatten was about to arrive.
It would be too dangerous to do this, and having a working relationship with Alyssa is a reasonable excuse.
After a while, Alan Wilson already understood the ins and outs of the matter. Vivien Leigh's trip to the United States was a great success and was praised by all public opinion. At the same time, he also knew that he speculated that there might be a traitor who was concerned about his father's inheritance.
It has not been reduced to useless work. Some people really care about it...
"These Americans are unprofitable and can't afford to be early." When the incident really happened, Alan Wilson couldn't help but denounced the shamelessness of the Americans. They would do anything for money. I wonder if there is a famine in British India now? Isn't it necessary?
Are you looking forward to your visit?
"U.S. Steel Company, an industry of the Morgan system. This fish is not small..." Alan Wilson muttered. He knew this entirely because he had read a novel about slave owners before, and it happened to be mentioned in it.
.
But in any case, the British whirlwind caused by Vivien Leigh in the United States did cause a huge sensation with the help of fuel, and Vivien Leigh's image of kindness, beauty, and intellectuality was further consolidated.
As for what this telegram requested, as the good brother of the international movie queen, Alan Wilson quickly found it from the Governor's House. He extracted the essence of the distribution and estimated reserves of coal and steel in British India and re-sent it to Hyde.
Raba.
At another time, this would be an act of betraying the motherland. But isn't British India about to become independent? That is not a betrayal of the motherland, but the exchange of precious information through legal means. The blood of the Five Eyes Alliance is thicker than water, and it does not count as betrayal.
.
Alan Wilson's success also opened the door for Vivien Leigh's activities in the United States.
