The war had just ended and people longed for peace, but now in India, violence and hatred are brewing everywhere.
The British Empire itself is haggard and exhausted, and India is no longer a wealth, but may become a burden to them. It is no longer a hunting ground for the empire to obtain prey, but is becoming a hotbed for harming the empire.
There was no other audience, so Alan Wilson could only let the two Nordic goddesses act as his audience. Otherwise, they would just talk about something during the meal. He couldn't talk about the issue of having children without getting married in front of Ingrid Bergman.
Otherwise, the iceberg goddess right in front of you will explode.
"As a colonial official, you can't do much." Ingrid Bergman was a little strange, and after swallowing the dumpling, she said, "Why didn't you cook this kind of food when they were still there."
Greta Garbo was right when she said that she has a simpler mind. Ellen Wilson blinked and said in embarrassment, "The fields of the two questions are too far apart. Which one should I answer first?"
"Let's answer the question about food first." Ingrid Bergman didn't forget to use a fork to skewer the dumplings as she spoke. "For the first time, I feel that tools are not as useful as my hands."
"You can also imitate the Indians and just grab it with your hands." Ellen Wilson was really defeated by Ingrid Bergman. Other actresses more or less saw the problem from the details, just this silly Nordic girl
is an exception.
Judging from the situation, Ingrid Bergman was the most dangerous. She was almost caught and exposed. But in the end, nothing was found. No wonder she was caught by the paparazzi just as she contacted the director to talk about the scene.
, if you don’t arrest who will you arrest?
What makes Ingrid Bergman the same as others is that she has been in British India for more than a month, and her body feels a little empty. After all, she is at an age of need, and there is no one around her to care for her, so she will always be a little irritable.
But at present, only Joan Crawford doesn't care, and finally takes the initiative to come. With the first one, Alan Wilson's greed will inevitably become more and more swollen, just like Greta Garbo's rhetorical question, he can't say that he has not been touched at all.
, that’s lying.
Of course, Alan Wilson is still hypnotizing himself. This is to protect Vivien Leigh. How sad it would be for the British treasure to know his true side. Although the responsibility is not his, but there are bad people among the masses.
"Have eaten, Greta, let's go for a walk?" Ingrid Bergman destroyed the dumplings and was still yelling at Alan Wilson about why he didn't make dumplings when everyone was fully staffed.
That's easy to say, but how much does it cost? It's not up to you. Alan Wilson declined to comment on this issue.
"I want to take a break and stay here for a while." Greta Garbo still looked expressionless, and made an appointment with the other party to find her for a while.
"Okay, see you later." Ingrid Bergman finished eating and left naturally, without any intention of staying to help.
Alan Wilson had concluded that Ingrid Bergman was not a suitable wife, at least not thrifty enough to run a household.
"Can you please take your eyes back?" Greta Garbo reminded lightly. With just a glance, she could see the man's gaze on Ingrid Bergman's sizable buttocks.
When Greta Garbo first arrived in the United States, she was packaged as a sporty woman by the company because of her tall stature. Compared with her, Ingrid Bergman was even worse. In other words, Greta Garbo did not know how to use practical weapons.
Otherwise, I would definitely agree with this word.
"I'm a normal male, why can't I just look at it?" Alan Wilson said, dumbfounded, "This is an instinctive reaction, and I didn't do anything."
"You have already done it, with Heidi and Joan." Greta Garbo looked directly at Alan Wilson with indifferent eyes, and at the same time exposed the other party's lies without mercy.
Regarding Hedy Lamarr, Alan Wilson knows best. He has nothing at all. That is, this generation of popular lovers who came from silent films is not so impeccable.
Alan Wilson was also prone to misunderstandings. He humbly asked for advice, "Heidi is not as obvious as Joan."
"Don't you know that her acting skills are not good?" Greta Garbo insisted, "She has too few opportunities to practice. She always plays the role of a vase, and there is no disguise. It is the same as Ingrid's problem."
From this point of view, Bette Davis's acting skills are the best among these people, and she even hides Greta Garbo.
But at the same time, this does not prove that he has a chance with Hedy Lamarr, even if what Greta Garbo said is only one percent possible, for the simple reason that people only believe what they like to believe, Alan Wilson also
I feel it is 100% worth the effort.
Alan Wilson, who has always considered both public and private affairs as his own responsibility, will not delay his official duties just because of his children's personal affairs, and vice versa. What's more, the iron ore matter has seen the dawn of hope.
Almost at the same time, Gandhi also made a public statement on Nehru and Patel's analysis, "My heaven on earth does not allow Indian soldiers to replace British soldiers. The country must rely on the army to protect it, and the morals of its citizens will never be good. India
You should make a choice. If you want to become imperialist, India may become the fifth most powerful country in many years but make no contribution to the world. If you choose non-violence as your policy, you will eventually become the first-class country in the world, and
He can save other oppressed nations in the world with his pioneering freedom."
This was because some of Patel's supporters expressed their views on resolving the conflict by force, forcing Gandhi to express his views on the dispute between Nehru and Patel for the first time.
At the same time, it also warns some people not to associate internal disputes with violent confrontations.
"With leaders like Gandhi here, I believe that British India in the future will not become a challenger to the world order." Alan Wilson happened to be holding the newspaper containing Gandhi's remarks to prove to Drake that all risks were nonsense.
, Mysore iron ore is a very safe cash cow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thanks to Gandhi’s decades-long image of a saint, if a person pretends to be a saint all his life, he will be almost a saint. It turns out that Derek only has some feelings for Gandhi.
I heard some anecdotes about Gandhi only after I came to British India.
Of course, I also heard some very stupid remarks made by Gandhi, but I can only say this, if someone can do something that Drake definitely cannot do, he can only express his admiration.
When Alan Wilson mentioned that the risks in India under Gandhi's leadership were very small, Derek also agreed, "It is true. For a leader like Gandhi, the risks are much smaller than those in East Asia."
I hope you won’t cry when you know the news of Gandhi’s assassination! Alan Wilson gave Derek a look of pity. He had already received the words and deeds of Greta Garbo, which made up for his shortcomings, and his skills have reached a higher level.
Gandhi was assassinated because of Hindu conservatives. In fact, Gandhi is also considered a conservative, but he is not as conservative as those conservatives. But as the saying goes, loyalty is not absolute, which means absolute disloyalty. Among Hindu conservatives
In their eyes, Gandhi was more hateful than the Muslim League.
Not to mention that Gandhi had already had a feud with these conservatives over the issue of untouchability more than ten years ago. As soon as the partition of India and Pakistan began and Gandhi began to call for assassination, his assassination was almost inevitable.
If there is really a need, Alan Wilson is not unable to help. In order to maintain the purity of Hinduism, the assistant commissioner who has always loved the land of India will do anything.
Gandhi may not have done anything about the assets acquired by the United States, but Nehru was much more powerful than Chang Gong.
Now the meeting between Alan Wilson and Derek, the time spent discussing the hard work is even more than the purchase price.
Of course, loyal and honest imperial civil servants cannot hide this kind of thing. They must let Sir Edward know. Only a widely respected and loved person like Sir Edward can allocate the money reasonably.
This made Edward Bridges very pleased. The empire needed such capable civil servants. One percent of the favor fee was one million. If the acquisition amount was set, it would be based on the principle of fairness and justice.
Of course, it is most appropriate to divide the civil servants equally between the local and British Indian civil servants. No one can find fault with this. It is just that there are fewer people in the local civil servants, but in fact, there are not too many people in British India to count.
, very fair.
After encouraging Alan Wilson with the words "I am very optimistic about you", Edward Bridges was quietly waiting for the good news on the golf course in Scotland.
Except for the 0.5% that belongs to everyone and the 0.5% that belongs to individuals, Alan Wilson did not change his mind and let Vivien Leigh take it on his behalf.
In the last few days of negotiations, the two sides reached a stalemate on the price of 106 million. No matter how high or low they were, they were unwilling to make concessions. Drake said that there was still 1.5% for various expenses.
Expenses cannot be increased.
"I will report this to London." Alan Wilson didn't know if it felt right or not. Anyway, there should be almost no drop left.
106 million U.S. dollars, plus 1.06 million U.S. dollars in intermediary fees, and 530,000 U.S. dollars in personal income. Derek gave Alan Wilson the total, and the total expenditure of U.S. Steel Corporation for the Mysore Iron Mine
, US$107.6 million.
The British Empire transferred the Mysore iron ore and all supporting facilities to the United States Steel Company.
"The railway is not good. The local railway belongs to the princely state. This is the benefit given to the local Maharaja. Mr. Derek, the local stability needs to be protected by the Maharaja of Mysore." Alan Wilson said that the ownership of the railway does not exist.
in the hands of the British Empire.
"Okay!" Derek pondered for a moment. After all, he saved more than 12 million U.S. dollars for U.S. Steel. In fact, he can be considered satisfied.
Alan Wilson is also satisfied. This is already more than 20 million US dollars higher than the domestic requirements. London should be satisfied.
Both of them believed that they were the big winners, and despite their opponents being as cunning as ghosts, they were both given a slap in the face. They couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in their hearts, and the United States/UK were just like that.
