"It's true that you are a money addict." Pamela Mountbatten's gloom disappeared and she began to look cheerful again. "Can something as important as love be measured in money?"
Pamela's mother Edwina is Jewish, and her maternal grandfather is Sir Kessel. After some hard work, he opened the way to great wealth.
He placed himself deeply within the highest circles of British upper class society as a private banker and financial advisor to the future King Edward VII. He was one of the wealthiest men in Europe at the time.
Although everything went smoothly in terms of making friends and doing business, Kessel's most beloved relatives had terrible luck. His beloved wife died of illness after giving birth to his only daughter, and Kessel was devastated.
Edwina had no fixed address when she was young. Kessel was a very successful businessman and would go wherever there was a new market, from Ireland to Africa. Edwina followed her grandfather to many places.
Later, he settled down and lived with his grandfather at Brook Manor. Brook Manor could be regarded as the most gorgeous mansion in London at that time. It was a symbol of Kessel's wealth.
Kessel's death left Edwina with a fortune of five million pounds and an annual income from the industry. It cannot be compared with the top consortiums in the United States, but it also allowed Pamela not to worry about money.
Pass.
"Oh, Pamela, you know that I am a poor boy, so I value money too much." After missing the target, Alan Wilson immediately changed his angle, "You are right, money cannot be compared with feelings."
Even so, the Hoxon treasure must still be dug. Today he succeeded in planting a seed in Pamela's heart. Even if there are problems in the future, it can still be pushed to the arrangement of fate.
What's more, it may not be necessary at all. Wouldn't it be better to let the wife live in happiness all her life?
After leaving the temple, Alan Wilson took Pamela Mountbatten to the school she attended in New Delhi during the war. They continued to cultivate their relationship and implemented the strategic policy of grasping both hands and being tough on both hands.
It is necessary to cultivate feelings and shirk responsibilities at the same time. This is all for the sake of marriage, and it is not despicable.
The curriculum of Delhi school is similar to that of ordinary local schools. Of course, there are various sports activities in the school, but Pamela does not participate much, and even if she does, she behaves normally. The most exciting thing every week is the payment of salary-one shilling.
of pocket money.
The students flocked to the sweet shop after taking a shilling. A shilling was not as useless as it sounds, three shillings could buy a whole bag of sweets.
Pamela also attended the dance, but the participants were all girls. Going home was always a happy thing for Pamela, because it meant that her father had ended his vacation in Ceylon and began to fulfill his duties in Southeast Asia.
As a military commander, she could meet her father.
Listening to Pamela Mountbatten's sentiments, it was time for Alan Wilson to show off, "If you were not in the subcontinent, we would not meet at all. Of course I cannot hope for a world war to break out out of kindness, but it must be said that because of a world war
, I got a love of my own."
"Actually, my father wanted me to continue schooling in my country." Pamela Mountbatten looked at Alan Wilson and said, "But I still insisted on coming to India."
"I simply don't know what to say." Alan Wilson looked touched and asked with curiosity, "What school do I want you to go to?"
"Cambridge! Cambridge University values wisdom and knowledge, and my father also studied in Cambridge." Pamela Mountbatten said.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Cambridge Alan Wilson's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. Things between schools cannot affect his current relationship with Pamela.
Students at prestigious universities in the UK are very concerned about politics. People here in Delhi have little interest in politics. They only care about the affairs of the subcontinent and will not cause any hindrance to the UK.
"Oh, by the way, let me get acquainted with Turing. I have met him." Pamela Mountbatten said as if she remembered something, "Help him build a laboratory. I have discussed this issue with him. He
I heard that I know you and we get along pretty well."
"Turing is a talent, and we must take it seriously." Alan Wilson pretended to be generous. After all, Turing likes men, and there is no danger with him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Pamela Mountbatten to make any male friends in Alan Wilson.
On the other hand, according to the important schedule arranged by the Governor's Palace, Mountbatten will pay attention to the issue of the Rohingya people.
However, this trip was destined to be postponed, because Congressman Churchill arrived in New Delhi at the end of January and his plane landed at New Delhi Airport.
This was not the first time that Alan Wilson had seen a similar scene. When he was in Berlin, Germany, Churchill who attended the Potsdam Conference arrived in this way, and he was even more arrogant than he is now.
At this moment, the civil servants of British India were eagerly waiting for the great former Prime Minister to arrive in New Delhi to stop the Governor-General's willful behavior. So as soon as the door of the plane opened, Churchill was startled, the red carpet was rolled out, and there was a roar.
The salute sounded, and the British Indian civil servants below looked at each other with admiration...
Absolutely, as Prime Minister of the British Empire during the war, Churchill was no stranger to such reverential looks.
The glorious era is back. Respected backbenchers, the great former Prime Minister, surrounded by such admiring eyes, stepped off the military plane with a majestic face, head held high, and Mountbatten, as the Governor-General, also came to the airport to welcome Churchill.
.
The two had known each other for a long time. Mountbatten was already an active naval officer when he was in college. Due to factors that he could not directly explain, he debated on behalf of the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. However, Mountbatten, who studied at the Naval Academy before entering Cambridge University, obviously had a certain understanding of the matter.
Oxford University, known as the cradle of prime ministers, has no chance of winning.
Although Mountbatten's legs were still a little shaky when speaking in formal occasions, his strong will and quick reactions were his two major advantages. Now that he had decided to participate, Mountbatten used his flexible mind and argued according to the rules.
People can hire a supporter from outside.
Mountbatten was thinking of Churchill. He immediately called Churchill, who was serving as Secretary of Defense in Lloyd George's post-war coalition government.
Mountbatten thought that Churchill's name alone would shock the guys at Oxford University. Churchill readily agreed and helped Mountbatten win.
"I didn't expect that I would trouble you to come in person to deal with the matter of British India." Mountbatten held Congressman Churchill's hand with an apologetic look, "I'm really sorry."
"It's nothing. I will do anything for the benefit of the British Empire." Churchill said angrily. He did not change his previous strength and was not at all embarrassed to call for the opening of a leak investigation before he came.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding civil servants applauded, as if they had found a backbone the moment the great former Prime Minister arrived. In fact, this was exactly the case. The Governor-General of British India had to pay for the great former Prime Minister to come to New Delhi at his own expense.
Already.
It is no exaggeration to hope for Churchill as much as for the stars and for the moon. This kind of cheering was particularly pleasant to the ears of Churchill, who was no longer Prime Minister.
Few people can clearly point to a moment that determines their destiny and future. For most people, the future is slowly shaped by the combined effects of various factors such as hobbies, talents, and environment.
For Sir Barron and Alan Wilson, in order to defeat Gandhi, who was harmless on the surface but scheming behind the scenes, and ultimately made his efforts in vain, they must need a figure with stronger prestige.
There is no doubt that the great former Prime Minister was such a person, who led the British Empire to victory in the World War. He was certainly better than Gandhi, who became famous for his hunger strikes.
After seeing the Governor shaking hands with Churchill, many high-ranking civil servants rushed forward, just like ordinary people who had been wronged and saw the Lord Qingtian, with expressions on their faces that said, "You are here."
Churchill also felt this. Ever since he lost the duel with Attlee, he had not experienced such a feeling of support for a long time. The people chose the mediocre Attlee.
But now it seems that he is still widely loved throughout the British Empire, and the excitement of everyone in front of him is the best proof.
"In the face of difficulties, we must have the courage to fight. We must fight to the end!" Churchill looked determined and shouted loudly to the people who came to greet him.
"That's right!" Churchill responded loudly, with absolute sincerity and without any lies.
The anger in his heart is like a furnace fire in an incandescent state, forging Churchill's iron-like character. It not only casts it, but also gives it a sharp blade. This blade shines with a cold light, and it will ruthlessly block those who move forward.
Everyone and everything on the road fell to the wayside.
British India now needs people like Churchill, who can keep the Congress Party calm, the Muslim League calm, and most importantly, Governor Mountbatten, to eliminate all possibilities of acceleration and return to a step-by-step rhythm.
among.
In this way, almost surrounded by people and watched by countless Indians from outside, Churchill arrived at the Viceroyal House of British India, which is still the center of power of the entire subcontinent.
Almost immediately, Sir Barron began to introduce the current attitudes in all aspects, especially the attitude of Governor Mountbatten. In a non-violent tone, he expressed doubts about the Governor's current eagerness.
"We can conclude that Gandhi is definitely not as simple as he appears." Sir Barron said with certainty.
"Gandhi." Churchill snorted. He was definitely not unfamiliar with this name. There was a time when he wanted to starve Gandhi to death. Then he asked, "What is the solution?"
"We decided to leak out the story of Gandhi's compromise with Ali Jinnah." Alan Wilson said, "Let's see if this saint's reputation is really that great."
