At present, the British Empire not only has many troops stationed abroad, but also many, not counting the troops stationed in the British-occupied areas of Europe.
At present, when British India has not yet become independent, foreign garrisons are mainly concentrated in three places. The number of troops is Suez Canal, British India and British Malaya. The number of troops stationed is 80,000, 60,000 and 40,000 respectively.
Among them, the 40,000 troops stationed in British Malaya were actually part of the 100,000 troops stationed in British India. Of course, the British also had troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region, but compared with the above three places, they can be ignored.
Alan Wilson felt that the garrisons evacuated from British India could be dispersed to Malaya and the Persian Gulf. It was always a good thing to strengthen their presence in the Persian Gulf, and they could avoid being suspected by the Soviet Union, because in the Middle East, the influence of the British Empire only included
In Iran, but definitely not limited to Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, and even Saudi Arabia, the share of oil is shared by British companies. In fact, the situation in Iran is just one of them.
When the British troops stationed in India are withdrawn, not all of them will be laid off. The place where the British troops stationed in India are separated must be carefully considered.
The economic development of the British Empire cannot be separated from Asia. Without the resource support of Asia, the British Empire will not be able to develop. For the interests of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom must control the Suez Canal at any cost—the shortest water channel for the United Kingdom.
The UK hopes to control the Suez Canal. In this way, the Strait of Gibraltar, the western outlet of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Suez Canal, the eastern outlet of the Mediterranean Sea, will be controlled by the UK, and the Mediterranean Sea will become a British lake.
However, in Alan Wilson's view, the Persian Gulf is also very important, and the situation in Egypt is not completely without a solution.
Aren't there still Copts who can take advantage? We are still ten years away from the Suez Canal War, and there are still many ways to remedy the situation.
He could have Portugal introduce Peace Christians to create a protective layer to protect Goa from Hindu infiltration. Or he could have the Copts create a protective layer on both sides of the Suez Canal.
There is still time. We can ignore the issue of the Suez Canal for the time being. The Persian Gulf is more important in Alan Wilson's telegram.
The reasonable explanation given to London in the telegram is that the Persian Gulf is not far from India. Once India and Pakistan fight after independence, the British troops stationed in the Persian Gulf can quickly make a difference.
Furthermore, there are also Indian communities in the Persian Gulf. British India is the colony with the highest status besides the white dominions. This is definitely not nonsense.
Of course, from the moment British India became independent, the status of Indians ceased to exist. From now on, they will only be killed to collect eggs. For example, in order to prove to the Copts that the peaceful believers will punish them, Christians, after the independence of Egypt.
Clean.
How to prove this? Just saying it is definitely not enough. It requires peaceful believers to actually do it. Then the role of the Indian community in the Middle East is reflected. Washing the Indian community with blood proves this to the Copts.
Nothing could be better.
In terms of provoking conflicts, Alan Wilson has already learned the essence from his work experience in British India. He said that the Copts are basically the direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians are the oldest ethnic group on the African continent and once created
A glorious culture. Its birthplace is the middle reaches of the Nile River.
The Peace Believers are the descendants of Arabs, and Egypt itself is the country of the Copts. The current Egypt is not qualified to be called Egypt. It was the Arabs who invaded their country, the descendants of the ancient Egyptians. How simple.
Copts account for about one-sixth to one-fifth of Egypt's population. Although they are not like the peaceful believers in British India who account for more than a quarter of the entire population, they definitely meet the conditions for partition. If the British
The work in India can be a useful experience for the British Empire, so since British India can be divided, Egypt can also be divided.
I don’t know if any British people in history have thought of this, but it doesn’t matter. Alan Wilson thought of it. Not only did he think of it, he also said it in the telegram.
If the rule in Egypt cannot be maintained, then it is natural to follow the partition experience of British India.
Separate both sides of the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.
The current population of Egypt is 16 million. It is very convenient to count the Egyptians living along the Nile River. Even if there are some omissions, Alan Wilson calculated that there are currently 20 million people in Egypt.
There are also three to four million Copts. It is definitely easier to support three to four million Copts in the Suez Canal than it is to support Egyptians.
After independence, the Copts will definitely face hostility from the Egyptians, so the British army can take advantage of the situation and not leave.
Although this idea is a bit wishful thinking, if we start working in this direction from now on, it may not be impossible to succeed. The first prerequisite is that once British India becomes independent, India and Pakistan should fight to bring peace to the Middle East.
The believers massacred the Indian community with blood.
Inciting the Peace Christians to be hostile to Indians, killing Indians for respecting Copts, and sending telegrams at the same time, Alan Wilson himself felt that all prime ministers were trying to get away with it, and that he was the most suitable person to lead the British Empire.
"I knew you were here?" The door to the telegraph room was pushed open, and Pamela Mountbatten's head poked in, with an expression on her face that I didn't expect. "Where should I send the telegram?"
"London, Whitehall!" Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief to calm his frightened heart. He continued to make food and clothing by himself without stopping. Pamela Mountbatten believed this man's explanation unconditionally.
Because she has seen that the paper in front of Alan Wilson has a lot of content. This man is like this. Once there is something important, he will send a telegram and wish to send a book.
With this preparation, Pamela Mountbatten came directly in, sat aside and waited for Alan Wilson to finish his work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It took a long time! Alan Wilson stretched, took a long breath to relieve fatigue, and then tilted his head.
Pamela Mountbatten understood and said directly, "My mother and I talked about our affairs, and she asked me whether I should get engaged here or back to London?"
"Can I stay in London this month?" Alan Wilson frowned, it was almost the time when the foggy city showed its best charm.
He was anxious! Pamela Mountbatten was so pleased that she almost lost her conversation, "Are you so impatient? You want to settle things right here."
As a matter of conscience, Alan Wilson really doesn't mean this. He simply thinks that the air in London is indeed bad now.
However, seeing Pamela Mountbatten's eyebrows rise with joy, and having the ability to exploit every opportunity, he plopped down on one knee, grabbed the girl's little hand affectionately, rubbed his face and said, "I can't wait for a moment...
"
"Originally, my parents wanted to go out for a walk like us, but now they are busy." Pamela Mountbatten was a little embarrassed, "Then I will discuss with my parents and let's get engaged at the Government House."
As long as others are not entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten, Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten are entertaining others. This statement is not an exaggeration at all.
After it became clear that the matter in British India would not be resolved in a short time, Mountbatten had already thought about it. In the ten months from the beginning of the year to the present, the expenses of the Governor's Palace increased sharply. According to incomplete statistics, the guests who attended Mountbatten's luncheon
There were about 5,000 people at that time, and 6,000 people attended the dinner at the Governor's Mansion.
This does not include the staff of the Government-General's Palace, they are all guests from India who come to the Government-General's Palace.
When Sir Barron and Alan Wilson were presiding over the work before, they felt that they had gone too far. Now when they look at civil servants, they are just having fun. They really let go. The aristocracy is so high that they are higher than civil servants.
Already.
Not counting luncheons and dinners, 20,000 people visited the Government House. Because Mountbatten stipulated that the Government House should hold two garden parties a week and a luncheon every other day with no less than thirty people attending. The number of days between them,
Host a large dinner party. To put it simply, a week full of schedule, either a luncheon or a dinner party.
In addition, he also claimed that the door of the Government-General's Palace is open to people from all walks of life in India who have never entered the Government-General's Palace. Currently, 15,000 people from all walks of life have visited the Government-General's Palace.
The Governor's behavior gave both Sir Barron and Alan Wilson the illusion that they were actually very simple.
In the afternoon, Governor Mountbatten had limited free time. Alan Wilson pretended to be very embarrassed and sat in front of the Governor and his wife. Today happened to be a luncheon, which meant that there was no activity in the evening.
After being poked by his wife Edwina Ashley, Mountbatten coughed softly and said, "Alan, I have already said that you and Pamela's relationship is unquestionable. Your relationship has been very stable along the way.
, my mood is quite complicated, but I also express my best wishes. You can feel it the most. Pamela loves you very much."
"I can feel it, and I am grateful for the love God has given me." Alan Wilson opened his mouth to show his loyalty. Although he is an atheist, who knows if he doesn't say it?
"Things have reached this point, so we need to hold an engagement ceremony." Edwina Ashley said with a smile, "Louis and I also got engaged in New Delhi. It seems that our family and British India still have a relationship.
Quite a fate.”
"I have no objection at all." Alan Wilson looked excited, like a pig eager to get cabbage.
This look made Governor Mountbatten feel very disgusted. He completely ignored the fact that he was also in British India when he called Edwina Ashley out of the country and captured her in a place she was unfamiliar with.
People have such double standards. Alan Wilson can't do this, but Mountbatten can do this!
Today, Alan Wilson finally cleared the level, and finally succeeded in progressing with the intention of making progress. Then he discussed the engagement date and the guests to be invited.
