Reports in major newspapers were about the coexistence of Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and the future Republic of India.
Of course, this is all superficial. The main content starts from Gandhi, with the non-violent movement as the core. By the way, the Governor-General's Office is optimistic about friendly consultations between India and several small countries.
Gandhi's saintly persona is certainly disgusting to the British Empire, but there are good and bad sides to everything.
This is in line with the laws of the scientific outlook on development. The image of the saint made the British Empire feel like it was in its throat, and it also made Indians believe in the image of the saint.
Today is the United Kingdom. Let Gandhi himself experience how the United Kingdom has viewed him for decades. Aren’t you a saint? A saint would not imitate the behavior of imperialism and would definitely guarantee peace to these small countries, right?
With the Governor's Office building momentum at full speed, the news that representatives from Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal are about to arrive in New Delhi has become the focus of discussion in the streets.
Alan Wilson actually didn't know what Gandhi thought about the surrounding small countries. After all, it was difficult to guess the brain circuit of this human saint, but he knew that the top leaders of the Congress Party and intellectuals in India and the Greater Indian Federation thought
has always existed.
This can be seen from the fact that when Nehru was in prison, he wrote about the great country in his writings.
Nehru had always harbored a plan for a "Greater Indian Federation" in his mind, expecting Pakistan, Kashmir, and even larger countries or regions to be included in the "Greater Indian Federation". He asserted that "small nation-states are destined to perish, and they can
It survives as a cultural autonomous region, but cannot become an independent political unit."
The Great Indian Federation plan with the Indian nation as the main body still has a profound influence on the Congress Party and the Indian bourgeoisie and intellectual class. This Great Indian Federation also includes the roof of the world.
Indians' view of the roof of the world is similar to that of a big country's view of Siberia. It is obviously closer to me, so why should it be yours?
The most favorable evidence for the relationship between Siberia and a certain big country is found in the special edition of the territory map of the Yuan Dynasty.
Indians are no less generous. Since Buddhism originated in India, they take it for granted that the roof of the world is theirs.
As a citizen of the British Empire, it would be difficult for Alan Wilson to take a stand on this issue.
Just to prevent the colonies from becoming powerful after independence and to set an example for other colonies that are ready to take action, let's talk about making Great India come to nothing first.
Public opinion is not only something that the Congress Party can use. Since he keeps saying non-violence, he is just following the Congress Party's ideas and handling it according to the rules.
At the headquarters of the Congress Party, senior officials, including Gandhi, Nehru and Patel, had a notice from the Governor's House in front of them.
At the end of the notice, it was also stated that the Indian people have always adhered to a non-violent attitude and there is no problem in making some guarantees. If the Congress Party is unwilling to participate, the Governor-General can directly sign a permanent security guarantee treaty with the three countries, and
We will notify you again after negotiations begin.
On the Nepalese flag, the two overlapping triangles represent the Himalayas. The moon above the flag once represented the Shah royal family that ruled Nepal for more than 500 years and unified Nepal for more than 200 years. And the moon below the moon
The sun once represented a prominent family in Nepal: the family of Prime Minister Rana.
The sun and the moon coexist on the national flag, expressing the hope that the Shah's royal family and the Rana shogunate can live forever and be on good terms forever, with the sun and the moon shining together.
The person currently in charge of power in Nepal is the eighth generation leader of the Rana family, who can also be called Rana VIII.
Both Bhutan and Sikkim also sent members of their royal families to New Delhi. Compared with Nepal, which is still somewhat capable of self-defense, Bhutan and Sikkim have less room for maneuver. They hope that while the British are still there, they can quickly clarify India's attitude towards the small countries around it.
For this reason, Bhutan and Sikkim also gave Alan Wilson a lot of sincerity. Now that Alan Wilson has received this sincerity, he will naturally maintain the peace of the subcontinent and carry out non-violence in the subcontinent to the end.
The National Congress Party does not have to participate, but even if it does not participate, it will not change anything. It will not change its previous ideas.
When communicating with the mainland, Edward Bridges stated in the telegram that two things must be done with Nepal. Nepalese mercenaries are important soldiers of the British Empire during the war. It is necessary to clarify the clear military relationship between Nepal and the British Empire. Relations, the second thing is that the Nepali Rupee is pegged to the British Pound.
As for the affairs of Bhutan and Sikkim, Edward Bridges did not say much, but let Alan Wilson take care of it. Even the cabinet secretaries of these two small countries had no impression and could not imagine what benefits they could get.
This is different from Alan Wilson. He even accepted the golden Buddha. It doesn't matter whether it is gold or not. The main thing is that he has lived in British India for a long time and has followed the local customs and respects Buddhism very much...
However, before the guests arrived, he still took care of other things in his busy schedule and sent a telegram to the American company researching streptomycin. The telegram clearly stated the advantages of the subcontinent. It was a multi-ethnic mixed community and was the best drug testing site. .
The subcontinent lacks medical treatment and medicine, and people are struggling with disease and poverty. However, when drug trials are conducted in the United States, once side effects occur, pharmaceutical companies may face huge fines and claims. The gain is not worth the loss, but it is completely different in the subcontinent. .
As mentioned before, there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine. Not only does drug testing take place in British India without worrying about fines and claims, but it is a good deed for the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of people. It is a good deed.
In the telegram, Alan Wilson listed a series of reasons, proving that no country was more suitable than British India. British India was stronger than those countries, especially the overly homogeneous East Asian countries. The writing tone was very Proud, full of the tone that our India is too powerful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course this drug trial? Since major pharmaceutical companies have saved so much cost, they will always spend some personnel expenses.
In addition to giving it to individuals participating in drug trials, Alan Wilson said straightforwardly that he should have his own share.
The most precious thing in the information society is information. It has helped, but is not limited to, American pharmaceutical companies to save such huge costs. It is not too much to receive some compensation.
This is no longer the time before the First World War. No one can control the dominance of American companies in the country. There have been two rounds of world wars. The United States is already leading the world, but it is still resisting pressure at home to conduct drug trials? This It doesn’t make sense either.
Before the guests arrived in New Delhi, Alan Wilson only did two things. One was to create a fait accompli and at the same time talk about non-violence to constantly tease the Congress Party, which was still pretending to be dead. The other was to negotiate with the United States and other countries.
Pharmaceutical companies, talked about the feasibility of British India contributing to the world in the field of pharmaceuticals.
You must know that the UK is not bad in the pharmaceutical field, and it is not the 21st century where only the financial industry is left.
The British Empire remains a prominent presence in many fields, including pharmaceuticals.
You know the Lancet, it’s British! The Lancet originated from the international comprehensive medical journal "The Lancet" founded by Thomas Weekley in 1823. Even decades later, the field of biopharmaceuticals can be regarded as the most popular in the United Kingdom.
There are not many industries left.
As the second largest biotechnology base, the UK has always been a world leader in biotechnology and has a very strong reputation and scientific research center.
Before a certain virus spread, the United States ranked first and the United Kingdom ranked second in terms of response to infectious diseases.
Of course this makes sense. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, they are indeed number one and number two, but they only serve the top few in the medical pyramid and are really no match for the pandemic. Not to mention that the UK and the US have their own national conditions here.
Anti-intellectuals...
As long as these pharmaceutical companies pay a nominal fee compared to the cost of research and development, Alan Wilson is willing to open a backdoor for these pharmaceutical companies. In what way does it benefit society but not society?
After receiving the new medicine, Alan Wilson directly forwarded the international package sent by Katharine Hepburn to Ali Jinnah, and began to concentrate on waiting for the arrival of the guests from the north.
Regardless of whether the Congress Party has yet to formally express its position, the news that representatives from Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal are about to arrive in New Delhi has become the most concerned thing among Indians now. Men are just that simple. They are in charge of politics. Women, this is what most men want.
mutual hobby.
These three small countries in northern India are coming to a conference to discuss the future of the subcontinent. Many people are looking forward to the Congress Party, which has been striving for Indian independence. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for the Congress Party not to participate in such an important occasion?
suitable?
Some newspapers expressed dissatisfaction with the Congress Party's delay in taking a stand, and further doubted whether the Congress Party's leadership could shoulder the important task of leading the subcontinent after the British left.
Needless to say, among these skeptical voices, Alan Wilson, who often pretends to be an Indian in publishing articles, is the loudest one? He has even written a leadership manuscript that directly targets the leader of the Congress Party Gandhi himself. The Congress Party
Only then did he finally express his intention to attend this meeting.
"What a pity." Looking at the scrapped manuscript in his hand, Alan Wilson sighed with regret. This manuscript, which contained the connotation of Gandhi's non-violence, seemed to have lost its effect.
In early April, a delegation from Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal arrived in New Delhi. Governor Mountbatten, who had returned from vacation, expressed his welcome to the guests. The city of New Delhi was decorated with lights and colorful lights. People who didn't know it thought it was His Majesty who was here.
The pages of newspapers in New Delhi today were occupied by delegations from the three countries, and enthusiastic Indians expressed their welcome to these guests.
"Look at the faces of those people in the Congress Party, it's so funny." Sir Barron whispered to Alan Wilson next to him, expressing his ridicule to the Congress Party people.
"Why is the smile so forced?" Alan Wilson also said with a bad smile, "We should use some occasions to let these people understand that it is easy for us to regulate them, even now."
