"This time I would like to thank British Burma and Malaya for their help." Sir Barron sighed sincerely, "We civil servants working in the colonies must unite together at critical moments."
"I don't know what Myanmar is like. I haven't been there yet." Secretary Edel said equally curiously, "I heard that Myanmar was not affected by drought this year."
"What can it do? Of course, it's the same as here, it's a colony." Alan Wilson chuckled. Even the financial situation is similar. Myanmar's current finance is almost at its limit.
Ultimately, the two-pronged plan is to use Germany's industrial base and the market of British India to allow Britain to set prices in the middle to help the British mainland escape the sequelae of the war.
This British India refers to Great British India, which includes almost all the colonies in Asia. Nepal, Burma, Ceylon and even the British colonies in the Gulf of Aden.
Of course, the subcontinent is the big one, but that does not mean that Myanmar, Nepal and the like are not important. In fact, Myanmar's contribution in some fields is no less than that of British India, but the total amount cannot be compared with British India.
In fact, the Rohingya people who were expelled before were part of the blood-sucking of British Burma. After all, Britain had a small population, and it always needed a force to manage the colonies. British India was the one that relied heavily on it among the colonies of the British Empire.
the power of.
Now that the independence of British India has become a consensus, and the native land needs urgent recovery, after thinking about it, Alan Wilson wanted to resolve the hostility of the Burmese people on the one hand, and on the other hand, to make the exploitation more efficient.
Just tell the Rohingyas to go away and personally go to the battle to get the Indian share.
This kind of exploitation will be more efficient and will have a greater promotion effect on the local people. The Burmese people will also be happy. The only unlucky ones are the Rohingyas who are helpers of British imperialism.
This cannot be blamed on Alan Wilson. The Rohingya should blame the Congress Party and the Muslim League. It was the Congress Party and the Muslim League that wanted independence and the local need to increase blood transfusions, which forced Alan Wilson to throw away the gentleman mask first.
The effect is also very obvious. After the Rohingya people's misfortune, the wealth distribution in British Burma became more reasonable.
The Burmese people, who had just gained wealth, also showed enthusiasm. Grain production did not decrease, but their purchasing power increased. On the contrary, profits imported to the UK increased.
This situation is of course unsustainable, but what is needed now is not sustainable development, but to stimulate the power of all colonies. As long as the local decline is swept away, the British Empire will still be the British Empire.
I heard that local civil servants are currently promoting Burmese rice in the British-occupied areas. They just need to reduce the cost. Industrial products can be replaced by Burmese rice to alleviate the food shortage in Germany. As for the fact that rice does not meet the taste of Germans?
There is already a food shortage. How dare the Germans pick a fight at this time?
It would be nice to be able to eat. It’s not our British Empire. Now in Germany, a cigarette can be exchanged for the service of a woman. Isn’t the drop in tobacco prices a result of the British Empire?
In general, the plan is progressing smoothly, and the British Empire is recovering very quickly. Anyway, Alan Wilson's biggest wish is to end the rationing system in the British Empire before Burma becomes independent.
Of course, the most gratifying thing is that the situation in the Andaman Islands has not worsened, and the rapid response of the Governor's Palace is indispensable.
"A little lonely!" Alan Wilson, who got off work from the Governor's Mansion, felt a sense of emptiness after leaving work.
Back in the apartment, Alan Wilson tossed and turned, but was not tired at all. Now he really wanted to experience the feeling of exhaustion, even if it was an Indian car.
Under the illumination of the crescent moon, it was bright outside the house. So he stood up and leaned against the balcony railing, deciding to walk around in a safe neighborhood because he couldn't sleep anymore.
Alan Wilson put on his jacket, took a few cigarettes, and started walking along the garden path, wandering ghostly through the flowers.
I was even thinking in my mind, if I was in India, I should just do as the locals do and contribute to the rape case in India.
Alan Wilson, who had turned around in a circle, suddenly raised his head, looked at the gloomy night, and cursed with his nose instead of his nose, "Is it raining?"
But then a look of regret appeared on his face. What do you mean, rain is a good thing, it can alleviate the drought in the subcontinent.
The weather in the subcontinent is like this. When the dry season comes, the sun is like an angry god, shining brightly in the sky. Then, the monsoon suddenly blows westward. At first it is a strong wind, and then it pours with heavy rain.
On and on, everything gets soaked until even your clothes, bed, and even food are not dry.
The day was still very hot, filled with steam, and unbearably hot. The dull jungle paths turned into swamps, while the rice fields turned into large swaths of stagnant water, exuding a stale stench.
I just don’t know if this rain heralds the passing of the drought. Every time the rainy season comes, the rain almost never stops. Then one day, the rainfall begins to decrease and eventually stops completely. This means that the rainy season has passed and the subcontinent’s
The change of seasons opens up the next round.
While Alan Wilson was sentimental in North India, the business elite led by Wilkins had arrived in Hyderabad, South India. Hyderabad was hardly affected by the drought this time.
Also like New Delhi, the area has just received a rainfall. After the rainfall, the white mist that surged out was like steam from a huge kettle boiling.
People came out to hunt ducks and pheasants. There were so many pheasants that they could not be counted. There were also flocks of wild geese flying from the shallows, and their cries were like a freight train passing over an iron bridge.
The ripening rice is chest-high and yellow like wheat waves. Indians wrapped in turbans rush to work, with their arms folded and their faces dark.
In the early morning, Wilkins walked through the misty and chaotic wilderness. The grass on the open ground was wet, much like the grass in the United States. The trees were bare, and monkeys squatted on the branches above, waiting for the sun to appear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When they return through the path at night, they will meet the children driving the buffalo home. The huge horns of the buffalo are looming in the mist like a crescent moon.
Some fireworks could be seen not far away. The locals were lighting fires. Servants and coolies were squatting on the edge of the light and shadow. They were too embarrassed to disturb their white masters and just slowly moved closer to the flames like dogs.
Overall, the business elites led by Wilkins still believe that this is a difficult journey. After all, not everyone likes exotic customs, and the skin color of South Indian women is indeed darker.
This mentality got better when I arrived in Hyderabad. Although it is not as good as the Magic City or Manila where some members are located, compared to the Indian cities that I came from all the way, the hardware in Hyderabad is indeed quite good.
British officials in British India did not require special qualifications.
Few of them are as hard-working or as alert as the postmaster of a provincial English town.
Real administrative work is mainly done by indigenous subordinates; and the real backbone of an authoritarian government is not officials, but the army.
With the army, officials and businessmen can live in peace, even if they are fools, and in fact, most people are indeed fools. This is a boring and decent group of people who stick to the bayonet of the British army in India.
And defend this boredom.
After a period of experience, Andy has started working as an ordinary British Indian official, doing boring and tedious work. After pursuing Alisa to no avail, he has completely let himself go and experienced the South.
The exotic customs of India are not doing anything scandalous by not paying.
Or maybe, as some colleagues said, Alyssa is actually Alan Wilson's mistress, and he is destined not to get it.
If Alan Wilson in New Delhi had known that his subordinates were assigned superiors, he might have been promoted immediately... to be a commissioner in the Andaman Islands.
Although he did say in the telegram to Alyssa not to have contact with the Americans, this was entirely out of love for his subordinates, and there was no evil intention. This could lead to orchestration? How about you not paying for a prostitute?
, will it end up like today?
We are on the same earth, so why are the countries so different? On the other side of the distant ocean, is the United States of America.
Katharine Hepburn's home in Los Angeles welcomed a guest today. The guests at Katharine Hepburn's home used to be some celebrity friends, but recently there have been some changes in the composition of the guests.
"Excuse me, dear Miss Catherine. I am here on behalf of the Gannett Press Trust. My name is William Hess." William Hess introduced himself and then showed his sign.
The Gannett Press Trust was founded by Frank Gannett. Before World War II, it mainly controlled newspapers in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized cities.
Gannett Press Trust's main influence is in New York, and its relationship with Wall Street is very good. After introducing himself, and waiting for Vivien Leigh to appear, William Hess stated his purpose, "Our group wants to join forces with the American Broadcasting Corporation,
Producing a documentary about British India will give American citizens a better understanding of this fascinating place."
"This is also of great benefit to Miss Vivian. With the strength of our two companies in the media field, it can greatly enhance your reputation. The most important thing for a female star may be fame. Of course Miss Vivian is
The British may think they are not getting enough help."
"Then we can also help in other places. Many shareholders of our two companies have extensive influence. Mickey Mouse, Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, Miss Vivian, don't think that Disney can only do
cartoon."
"Mr. William, why are you looking for me?" Vivien Leigh was also thinking as she listened to the other party's words, but the thing she was thinking about had nothing to do with documentaries, but the derivatives that Alan Wilson mentioned. It seems that Disney Company is an expert in such derivatives.
