CHAPTER XXIII

Even for the sake of the overall situation, if we want to maintain the foundation that India is stronger than Pakistan, there are still quite a lot of places where the knife can be used, and we can't make a bunch of small countries that can't catch up with Pakistan, and it's still okay to cut off some corners and corners.

After saying goodbye to Ali Khan, Alan Wilson took John and Pedro, the Portuguese representative, back to the place where the English lived, and such a meeting could not be held in a day, and they could not stay in Ali Khan's royal palace.

"Commissioner, you can have a cup of black tea. I got it! Alyssa saw Alan Wilson, who was a little drunk, and directly brought a cup of black tea, and followed the commissioner for a long time, he knew that his boss had some stinky problems, such as drinking tea is different from the taste of ordinary British milk tea, but drinking tea.

"Oh thanks, Alyssa, for a great job." Alan Wilson, whose eyes were a little straight, smiled and thanked, "I am a student of Oriental College, and I have lived in Xiangjiang, and my eating habits are a bit oriental. ”

"You're my boss, I can't forget." Alyssa sat down with her thighs together, looking very ladylike, looking at some of her bosses and smiling, "Actually, you don't have to run forward and backward like lightning at all, and I heard some old employees of the office say that the previous commissioner was not so desperate." ”

"It's also a matter of time, and the time we're in now doesn't allow for life. Oh yes! Alan Wilson seemed to remember something, and took out the briefcase at his feet, and took out the gift that Ali Khan had given him.

As soon as she took it out, Alyssa's eyes suddenly straightened, and it turned out to be small gold nuggets, although his family was good, he had never seen so much gold.

This is not as good as his boss, Alan Wilson has seen a lot of gold, so he looks very bland, "You go and call Andy and them over, divide this gold, and come to South India from New Delhi, is it for the sake of the vast number of South Asian people?" Anyway, that's not my purpose, it's for our own sake to avoid living in poverty in the future, that's why we're working. ”

The gold that Alan Wilson took out was a small gold bar of ten tows, which is a unit of weight in India. One drag is equivalent to 11.7 grams, and 10 drags are 117 grams.

Of course, this is not all the benefits that Ali Khan gave him, but he just took out these and distributed them to his assistants. Ali Khan's gold was transported by truck, and it was nothing compared to his vast wealth.

Soon the other nine assistants arrived in Alan Wilson's office, and each person's eyes seemed to be equipped with radar, and they instantly saw the gold on the table, and could not move it again.

"It's all here, one person takes a piece and keeps it safe, this thing is much more useful than the rupee, it's hard currency everywhere." Alan Wilson immediately surprised his assistants and shared the joy of working in Hyderabad.

As for his own share, he didn't bother with his assistants, and it was really not much, he was busy organizing the alliance of princely states, and even called the Portuguese to the party, how could he be impressed by a small reward, and if he wanted to make him, the commissioner of the British Empire, do his work, he had to add money!

"Commissioner, you've been so good to us." Andy was overjoyed with the small gold bar, "Coming to work in Hyderabad was definitely the right decision. ”

"Oh, yes? Then don't whine behind your back, what is Lightning Allen? Alan Wilson scolded with a smile, and then turned to seriousness, "Compared with the local civil servants, we have a certain degree of freedom in British India, but whether we can return with a full load depends on ourselves." Okay, let's go rest, we'll have a few more days to spare. ”

The commissioner of Hyderabad, who had just won the title of Lightning Allen, was not tired, but because he drank a little wine, his brain was very active, and at this time Hyderabad was in the dark except for a few places, and in this era, except for a few places in the big cities of South India, the vast majority of the areas were not electrified.

Under the light, Alan Wilson, who was not tired, opened a map of British India to pass the time, and rested when sleepiness hit, "It would be a pity for the Andaman Islands to become independent with India, and it can't be cheap Nehru." ”

A few decades later, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were part of the Union of India's Overseas Territories, located south of Myanmar, between the Bay of Bengal and the Burma Sea, 800 kilometers from mainland India. An island group in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar in India, located in the southeastern part of the Bay of Bengal.

In fact, it makes sense whether the Andaman and Nicobar Islands belong to Myanmar or become part of Bangladesh. But it belongs to India, which is undoubtedly the legacy of the British Empire.

Crucially, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located on the western route of the Strait of Malacca, and as long as ships come out of the Strait, they can be monitored by military installations in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Because of the strong productive forces that broke out in the United States during the war, the United States Navy is undoubtedly the world's largest in terms of naval size, surpassing the world's first British Royal Navy before World War II. However, the current strength of the British Royal Navy is also the second in the world.

The Royal Navy is no match for the U.S. Navy, but it is also far superior to the navies of other countries. The Japanese Navy is only close to the British Royal Navy in terms of strength, but the main strength of the Royal Navy is not in Asia, after all, in the eyes of the British, Malacca is close at hand; In the eyes of the Japanese, Gibraltar is far away.

The world's first colonial empire was so arrogant, and now Alan Wilson looked at the location of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and his desire to cut it out of British India grew stronger.

At least in the immediate aftermath of World War II, when the Royal Navy was still strong, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were far more important than that size of the island.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands were also chosen because Alan Wilson found it easier, because India would certainly not vigorously build its navy when it became independent, and it did not necessarily have this understanding. It's not too difficult to cut down a lonely archipelago!

Moreover, it is also convincing to London, although the independence of British India is most likely a certainty, but the British colonies are not only British India, but also British Malaya. The Strait of Malacca was still under the control of the British Empire, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which happened to block the shipping route of the Strait of Malacca, should of course remain in the British Empire.
