"Actually, I can understand the protests from the Congress party, but out of the responsibility of the Hyderabad commissioner and respect for the monarch Ali Khan, I cannot stop Hyderabad's enthusiasm for this gathering, and I have not stopped it at all.
reason."
This one-on-one meeting was actually beyond Alan Wilson's expectations, but he quickly cleared away his responsibilities according to his previous explanation. However, General Mountbatten's face was full of fun, with an expression that was half-smiling, and he was worthy of it.
It was Da Yinglong Aotian. Such a calm and calm look made Alan Wilson close his mouth unconsciously.
"I've heard this kind of thing more times than you said it." General Mountbatten reached out to pick out his ears and commented in a funny way, "Look at you civil servants, saying these words that no one can understand every day.
, I still think that I am very smart, but in reality? I hold conferences on trivial matters, and slap my head on big matters."
Mountbatten's sculpted face was filled with immunity to dialogue skills, and then he changed the subject and said to himself, "It's just that I didn't expect that you would bring your connections to my daughter. This is quite surprising. To be honest,
I don’t know and don’t want to know what your purpose is, but now that we are at a critical moment when victory is in sight, British India must not have any problems. If there are problems, victory may be delayed by one day.”
For General Mountbatten, the most critical thing now is to win the World War. Compared with Europe, where news of victory has been coming at any time, things are not particularly clear in Asia.
In General Mountbatten's mind, the result of victory was naturally the same as Germany's. The Allies invaded Japan and liquidated the whole country to ensure that this country would not become a threat in the future.
Alan Wilson was a little dumbfounded when he saw that Mountbatten was immune to words. Thinking about it, he was born in such a high-ranking family. He grew up surrounded by praises and was in contact with all dignitaries. Moreover, Mountbatten was always known for his communication, and he solved the problem as soon as he came to India.
It solved the problem of cooperation between British troops and other Allied forces. It is definitely not useless as people think.
"To be honest, I want to make concessions to Nehru on this matter. Of course, I have realized from Sir Barron's mouth that the Congress Party is not very tough on your matter, but I still have to do it."
Mountbatten held his head with one hand and said calmly, "The reason is just like what I just said, before victory is about to come, I don't want any negative factors to appear."
When Alan Wilson heard this, he wondered if he wanted to be killed to scare the monkeys? His face changed and he had to explain.
"I have decided to transfer you out of British India!" General Mountbatten said to himself, "This is not out of selfish motives, and it has nothing to do with Pamela. It is just a temporary transfer."
"Temporary transfer?" Alan Wilson muttered, not quite understanding what Mountbatten meant.
"It's just superficially acceptable to the Congress Party!" General Mountbatten explained, "The situation on the European battlefield is now very good. The Allies have broken through the Rhine River defense line, and Berlin is within easy reach. This does not include the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front.
In fact, the joy of victory will come at any time. The moment when the war ends is the most chaotic time. Let me explain one more thing, this is not a punishment for you, it just allows you to temporarily leave British India, and wait until you come back.
You can act more maturely.”
Alan Wilson stared at Mountbatten's expression quite impolitely, but immediately realized that he shouldn't have done so. But it seemed that the other party had no reason to deceive him.
"I have a pretty good relationship with Winston. I can help you write a letter of recommendation. Which department do you like the working atmosphere in?" Mountbatten said this and asked in a consultative tone.
Mountbatten did not lie at all. His relationship with the current Prime Minister Churchill was indeed very good. This is only part of the truth. The whole fact is that he had a very good relationship with all senior officials of the allied countries he came into contact with, with almost no exceptions.
At this time, Alan Wilson woke up from a dream. He quickly went through some departments in his mind and said uncertainly, "Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It is somewhat similar to your current job, but I think the most suitable one for you is the Colonial Department." General Mountbatten thought for a moment and shook his head, "Of course, the current European war is the most important thing. In this process, you
You can get a lot of experience. In this way, Leo Amory, the British Secretary of State for India, and I have a good relationship. I asked him to recommend you to serve in the Colonial Department, but you will be temporarily seconded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wait in Europe. Once Japan insists on the Asian battlefield,
Stay here, I'm asking you to come back."
Europe? The front line of confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union? The Berlin Wall? Thinking of these, Alan Wilson sighed to himself that this is indeed a good place.
From the day Germany surrendered, the wonderful history entered another stage.
"You don't want to go?" General Mountbatten tilted his head and said with an arrogant look on his face, "This is an opportunity."
"Of course I am! I am very willing to take on greater challenges." Alan Wilson opened his mouth, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, "I don't know when I will set off."
"I'll give you a few days to deal with things. I heard that you have a good relationship with Ali Khan, which is worthy of praise. You can spend the rest of the time saying goodbye to your friends." Mountbatten didn't know why, but he felt relieved.
tone.
Until now, Alan Wilson still thought that the great hero Long Aotian was just looking for an excuse to get out of British India, until he blankly accepted two autographed letters from Mountbatten, one to the Prime Minister.
Churchill and Leo Amory, Secretary of State for the Colonies of India.
"Go to Sir Barron to arrange your trip to Europe. Keep these two letters and use the remaining free time to do your business." General Mountbatten held his own handwritten message in his hand and said, "Just now you also
After seeing the contents of the letter, I can feel relieved now.”
At least on the surface, Alan Wilson did leave India in disgrace in front of the Congress Party. This was regarded as an explanation given by the Governor-General of British India to the Congress Party.
"What a surprise." Sir Barron shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, we could have ignored the Congress Party's protests, but with these two letters, maybe it is really a good thing."
"Does Sir Barron think so?" After hearing what the leader of the British Indian Civil Service said, Alan Wilson suddenly became optimistic, and he also felt that this was not a bad thing.
"I didn't say anything. Good things and bad things are sometimes the same thing." Sir Barron pondered for a moment and said, "At least these days you are free, forget all your worries, relax, and go to Bombay then.
Ship, there is no danger on the sea now."
Leaving Sir Barron, Alan Wilson immediately rushed to the next occasion.
"Did my father transfer you away?" Pamela Mountbatten whispered angrily, "Why is he like this? He takes those Indians too seriously. I will go find him."
"That's not a bad thing!" Alan Wilson reached out and grabbed Pamela Mountbatten's clothes. He shrugged and said, "If possible, pay more attention to Hyderabad. Several of my assistants are doing a good job."
good."
"You seem very happy to leave British India?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with some suspicion.
"I'm just heartbroken. I'll solve the matter when I get back." Alan Wilson pursed his lower lip and blew the hair on his forehead. "It's also a good thing to go back to London. I just finished writing my graduation thesis."
