As a beloved boss, you must avoid the mistakes that have happened in the past, such as the mistakes of a former subordinate who did not pay. So after Alan Wilson accepted the precious gift from the Commissioner of Hyderabad, he was the first to
The response was to give money.
There are no traditional TV dramas where a woman gets very excited when she hears about giving money and says, "What do you think I am?" and then angrily scolds the man for his shamelessness.
How can British women be so particular about it, so Alyssa happily collected the money and divided it up clearly.
"What if I get married in the future and my boss still makes such a request?" Alyssa was a little annoyed, probably teasing Alan Wilson who was wearing clothes.
Then Alan Wilson took off his clothes again. He felt that this subordinate still needed some guidance, and he had to be put on the horse and given a ride, so that he would not make mistakes in the future.
Returning to his hometown has become a foregone conclusion. After thinking about this, Alan Wilson has no regrets. After all, that is the real paradise for politicians, and there are more opportunities to serve the country.
To be fair, although British India was a good place to make a fortune, it was not a big stage.
At this time, Alan Wilson thought that he was just going back to Europe for a tour, and then he would return to British Malaya. However, he did not expect that he did return to British Malaya later, but it was slightly later than expected.
So much.
The Mountbatten couple agreed that their daughter would go back with Alan Wilson, and they were already engaged. Governor Mountbatten no longer rejected Alan Wilson, but gave him some encouragement, and by the way gave Alan Wilson a three-page list.
This is a friend that Mountbatten himself considers quite good.
"The time given by the cabinet is to resolve the matter in British India in 1948, and I plan to go back early." Mountbatten said, "Next June is my birthday, and I hope to celebrate it in my own country.
"
Although Mountbatten has been acting like he will leave only after the issue of British India is resolved, he already knows in his heart that the issue of British India cannot be solved. He will return to the country when the power is officially handed over in February.
"Father, mother, don't worry, Alan will definitely take good care of me." Pamela Mountbatten also said goodbye to her parents and was ready to return to China with her fiancé.
"Your mother and I have made a plan to travel around this subcontinent." Mountbatten glanced at his wife, and then said to his daughter, "You don't have to worry about us, we will return to China in a few months."
After saying goodbye to the governor and his wife, the two got on the train with their heavy harvest. After arriving in Aden by boat, they would fly to Egypt and return home via Italy. After all, the northern Mediterranean is not particularly peaceful.
The civil war in Greece is still ongoing, and Marshall has officially issued a speech mentioning the importance of aid to Europe, although Britain's situation is much better than at the same time in history and it has more capital to negotiate.
But the first batch of substantive aid was sent out before the countries had formally negotiated the results, and the destinations were Greece and Turkey.
This was not only because it was seen as a frontline against Soviet expansion, but also because these two countries had already benefited from the Truman Doctrine and received a considerable amount of early aid.
At first, it was the United Kingdom that provided assistance to the anti-Soviet forces in these two countries. However, because its own economic situation was already very bad at this time and it was difficult to persist, the United Kingdom asked the United States to continue to assume this responsibility.
This is a historical fact, but Alan Wilson mentioned at the beginning that he was thinking of ways to deal with Turkey.
The Turkish army marched into Greece to help the Greek government forces fight, which in turn made the Greek Liberation Army more appealing. After all, the hatred between Greece and Turkey can be exploited, and the Greeks uphold their national justice.
The United States is currently assisting both ends of the Asian continent, but this has nothing to do with Britain. Currently, the U.S. military advisory group is planning a joint U.S.-Turkey-Greece joint command to completely eliminate this pro-Soviet armed force in the eyes of Americans.
The Greek Liberation Army is a pro-Soviet armed force in the eyes of Americans, which is not a mistake at this time.
Different from the original history, Yugoslavia later fell out with the Soviet Union, which led to the split of the Greek Communist Party. Although the Soviet Union was the strongest support, Stalin did not want to fall out with the West so quickly and wanted to maintain peaceful coexistence in a short period of time.
Tito was the biggest supporter of the Greek Liberation Army. The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia fell out, which directly deprived Greece of foreign aid.
The problem is? The current situation is that the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have not fallen out at all. Although Britain has explained to Yugoslavia many times, those who opposed Tito in the cross-border incident were heading to the United States.
Northern Rhodesia accepted anti-Tito people because of pressure from the United States, not because London wanted to do so.
Belgrade accepted the narrative that London was under pressure and then turned around and fell into the arms of the Soviet Union.
Now that the relationship between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union is good, the external environment of the Greek Liberation Army will naturally be very good and become much more difficult to deal with than in history.
There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages. The Turkish army marched into Greece and stood on the side of the monarchy and government forces. Although it caused the Greeks to arouse hatred and many people sided with the Greek Liberation Army, in the end Greece only had
With a population of less than eight million, it does not have the ability to tap into its potential and fight to the death with the U.S.-backed government forces and Turkish troops.
Alan Wilson does not believe that the Greeks will be able to drive the anti-Greek armed forces with strong support from the United States into the sea just because the government troops side with the Turks. As long as the Americans are willing to take action, at worst, Greece will become a country similar to Latvia in the future.
A country like the US military government or the South Korean military government.
Most Greeks do not like the current government, but the reactionary forces are too strong and they can only be angry but dare not speak out.
Alan Wilson thinks this is fine. As long as the current rule can be maintained, it doesn't matter whether the government is popular or not. Besides, as long as the Greek royal family exists, there is an opportunity to muddy the waters.
After all, the future queen's fiancé is a Greek prince, and the two are about to get married.
Mountbatten, who has been the deputy king of British India for a long time, has always been Philip's mentor. Mountbatten is the younger brother of Princess Alice, the mother of Prince Philip. His nickname is Dicky because of Prince Philip's father, Andreas of Greece.
The prince had been separated from his wife for a long time, leaving them to live and drink in France. Therefore, Mountbatten spiritually played the role of Philip's father, and his son, Prince Charles, also called Mountbatten "my honorary grandfather."
On the journey back home, Alan Wilson also mentioned the current situation in Greece, as well as the relationship between the Queen's fiancé and the Mountbatten family. "If the Crown Prince gets married, will the Deputy Crown Prince have to come back from British India?"
"It should be possible. Philip respects my father very much. After all, my father is his uncle." Pamela Mountbatten briefly mentioned the relationship between Mountbatten and the Queen's fiancé, and then she saw that her fiancé was in a daze, "How are you?
Already?"
"I was wondering what the aristocratic circle is like? Do you all use gold hoes when farming? If there is a chance to meet, how should I behave so that I can pretend that I have seen the world?"
"When the time comes, just come with me. I know them all." Pamela Mountbatten looked like she wouldn't be sleepy if you just said this. She was high-spirited and gave pointers about her father's connections in the aristocratic circle.
She finally caught such an opportunity. She was usually in a position of being taught by this man who knew almost everything. Now she could finally encounter a field that Alan Wilson didn't understand.
At this time, Alan Wilson was seriously considering whether to go to the baggage area and take out his diary to write it down. After thinking about it, he let it go. Who in the world writes a diary?
Although the civil war in Greece may become more intense in the future, Alan Wilson is very satisfied that it is an American problem.
The British Empire's obligations in the Near East have been replaced by the United States. All expenses are American expenses!
After boarding the military plane from Aden, Alan Wilson still had some regrets. If he had enough time, he would actually like to visit the Indian community and see what the mental state of the two old men of the British Empire was like in other colonies.
Transferring planes again in Alexandria and arriving in Rome can be regarded as officially returning to Europe. Although it has been quite hard along the way, Alan Wilson is quite excited when thinking about the heavy suitcases. There is a vast world with great potential.
Before November arrived, he had already landed from London with his fiancée. After getting off the plane, he took out the prepared masks and gave them to Pamela Mountbatten. The two hired a truck to take the suitcases out of the airport.
There was no obstruction during this period, and the daughter of the Vice-Prince of India was still very respectable.
“I don’t know if the Indians will miss me in the future.” Alan Wilson was still thinking about the place where he lived and fought.
The nostalgia is not just in words. The first person Alan Wilson met when he returned to London was not a British person at all. It was Ali Khan's Indian butler Alim. He took the initiative to say hello to Ali Khan, which was also a way of saying that Ali Khan was safe.
Although the Hyderabad Commissioner only had a short working experience, it is worth remembering by Alan Wilson for a lifetime. If there are any good investment projects, he will not forget Ali Khan. He is such a grateful person.
Alim, with Alan Wilson's instructions, often told him news about the subcontinent after he left.
Alan Wilson accompanied Pamela Mountbatten to meet the second guest, General Mountbatten's eldest daughter and Pamela Mountbatten's sister Patricia.
Originally, Pamela Mountbatten was about to go to live with her sister, but Alan Wilson felt that the butler of the former world's richest man was more important. He was such a real person in the world.
