"Oh, it's Pamela." Burgess gave Alan Wilson a meaningful look for the other to realize.

Jadeite, in fact, Alan Wilson thinks that this is a representative of the IQ tax, but there is such a nation in this world, there is something called jade culture.

It just so happens that there are many such ethnic groups in British Malaya, and in terms of production alone, if diamonds are an IQ tax, jadeite is a more definite IQ tax, especially for the Chinese.

Diamonds are abundant, averaging to everyone in the world, with one carat per person. The value of the diamond industry is very low, and it has an irreplaceable position only in the knife and abrasive industry.

The popularity of diamonds is a result of De Beers' marketing. Ancient diamonds were mainly mined in India, and the production was very low, which is why they were precious. After the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa, diamond reserves skyrocketed. De Beers judged the situation and took ownership of the South African diamond mines, limiting shipments and creating the illusion that demand for diamonds was in short supply.

There are tens of thousands of square kilometers of jadeite veins, and the jadeite produced is calculated in 10,000 tons per year, and a few tons of rough stones alone are normal, and there should not be such a high price at all. Alan Wilson didn't think the jadeite was very precious, but wanted to follow the example of the Amber Room, the treasure of Imperial Russia, and create a set of furniture for himself to decorate when this thing was not valuable.

Alan Wilson didn't think this idea was too much, and now Burma was also a colony of the British Empire. If the locals are willing to help him fulfill this little dream, he can expand his support for these national armed forces, exchanging scrap iron for broken stones, taking into account the mountains of weapons piled up in various countries of Europe after the war.

Besides, similar to this kind of IQ tax, it mainly depends on marketing, and the main advertising is hard enough, who said that it can't be popular in Europe and the United States?

If we take into account Burma's independence in 1948, Alan Wilson's efforts to delay the passage of the broken stones for a year, and three years to get the broken stones out, the dream of the Emerald House should not be a problem.

It's just that the current new commissioner of British Burma does not understand his painstaking efforts, does not understand that this kind of thing is useful for social stability, as long as the advertisement is very popular, there are women who come out to pursue the shiny thing.

Considering Burgess's identity as a spy, Alan Wilson did not reveal too much classified information. Before Burgess arrived in Yangon, Alan Wilson had already contacted local civil servants to inquire about the local Indian National Army prisoners of war, some of whom had survived the Burmese abuse.

Coincidentally, the date of communication with the Congress Party this time is close to the date of the final trial of the Indian National Army. I heard that another Indian soldier mutinied, and of course it was not surprising that it was quickly resolved.

If there is a risk of provoking a mutiny again, according to Alan Wilson's idea, there should be no trial, and the Burmese will be allowed to act cheaply and kill all these Japanese lackeys.

Of course, after careful consideration, Alan Wilson decided to see the results of his communication with the Congress Party.

If there is a good outcome, let these Indian National Army soldiers who are seeking national independence live a few more days, and if this result is not satisfactory, then do not blame the liquidation of the Axis affiliates.

How to make the Congress Party have scruples in the next two to three years has always been something that Alan Wilson wants to set foot on this land again.

Probably within the confines of British India, it may be out of place to take a tough stance for the time being.

However, the British Empire was not limited to the colony of British India, but also many other colonies. This brings us to another question, namely, what was the role of the Indians in the colonies of the British Empire.

Not counting the colonies of Australia and Canada. Because of its importance in the British Empire, British India could also be exchanged for some privileges, such as acting as a local force to maintain British colonial rule in other British colonies.

If the Congress Party dares to adopt a non-cooperative attitude, the wave of typographic printing may not be far off. As the commissioner's assistant to British India, Alan Wilson could not control the other colonies, but he could still meddle in the close periphery.

For example, Aden, the Yemeni city of Aden, is located at the southwest tip of the Arabian Peninsula, guarding the gateway of the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

Yemen is located in the Arabian Peninsula and seems to have little to do with British India, but in fact Aden is part of British India, but it doesn't often appear on the map.

Aden was occupied by the British and became a British colony, and the British East India Company built a fuel coal warehouse in Aden to fuel passing steam engine ships, and settled Aden under the jurisdiction of Mumbai until 1937, when it was separated from the jurisdiction of British India like Burma.

Because it is a transit point in Mumbai, there are many Indians working in Aden, and if the Congress Party is not tamed, Alan Wilson may have to send a telegram to the Commissioner of Aden.

At the same time as the Governor's Palace was preparing for the meeting, there was also a heated discussion within the Congress Party, and Gandhi, as a representative who was brought out, a figure with wide influence, and the signboard of the Congress Party, naturally had a large number of followers.

Are these followers ideal? In fact, it was similar to Gandhi himself, who hoped that the whole of British India would become a large rural village where everyone coexisted peacefully after independence, and opposed the progress of industrialization.

This idea is not new in this era, and there are many political parties that focus on agriculture, and the Croatian armed forces, which have been at war with the Yugoslav Fatherland Army for a long time, are this kind of proposition.

If it were a few decades from now, Alan Wilson would think that Europe's obsessive environmentalist parties should be the successors.

Alan Wilson naturally couldn't know about the internal discussions of the Congress Party, but they were also full of gunpowder. Gandhi himself insisted on non-violent non-cooperation, and Nehru certainly supported it, but he didn't think so, but he didn't think so, like the former chairman of the Congress Party who defected to Japan, and he insisted on fighting a war with the British.

Nehru and Gandhi were diametrically opposed to the news of the release of the Governor's Palace, with Gandhi opposing it and believing it to be another conspiracy by the British, while Nehru expressed his support and thought it was a good thing after all.

However, in addition to their attitude towards Dajian, the two still have a lot in common, such as both believe that if they become independent in the future, they should make the whole of British India independent and avoid splitting into two or several countries.

When the two opinions were arguing, a third opinion naturally arose, and the third opinion believed that the focus should be mainly on bridging the contradiction between the two religions, which the Governor's Office claimed.

The question then turned to the question of the unity of British India, which Nehru and Gandhi agreed on if the rift between the two religions could be bridged and the unity of the whole of India could be preserved.

This time there was an internal discussion, and it was finally decided to talk to the Governor's Office in New Delhi.

Contrary to the Congress party, the Muslim League verbally opposed the construction, but it did not turn into demonstrations.

In this way, four days after the Christmas dinner, Alan Wilson, representing the Governor's House in New Delhi, waited for the Congress delegates to come to the door.

"Nehru himself came?" Listening to the report of the secretary of the Governor's Palace, Alan Wilson showed a meaningful look, but immediately became light-hearted, "I have always had high respect for Mr. Nehru, who is known to be a leader of great learning and personal charisma. ”

"Alan, how are you going to deal with what you call a charismatic leader?" Sir Barron, who was sitting behind his desk, asked, "Don't mix personal emotions in your communication. ”

"Of course not, Sir Barron." Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly and said politely, "In the formal meeting, you can't mix personal prejudice, and besides, I have no personal grudges with the Indians." ”

"Then I'll have a cup of afternoon tea first and wait for your news." Sir Barron didn't move, crouching over a cup of tea.

Alan Wilson nodded and walked out of Sir Barron's office, heading to the conference room that had been swept out.

Nehru, dressed in traditional Indian robes and white hats, was followed by representatives of the Congress Party this time, and a total of eight people entered the Viceroy of British India, and under the watchful eyes of the British guards, they came to the door of the conference room and pushed the door in.

"Welcome distinguished Congress guests!" As soon as the two sides met, Alan Wilson greeted him with a gentle smile, saying that he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and in fact, he had just come over.

Nehru didn't know Alan Wilson, and he could even say that he had long forgotten to pressure a commissioner in Hyderabad. For Nehru, it was just a small thing when someone else reported and nodded in agreement.

A leader like Nehru is not like Gandhi went on a hunger strike at every turn, how can he remember what he did one day a few months ago?

In the face of the enthusiasm of a young negotiator, the Congress delegates also responded with a friendly smile and even greeted with Hindu etiquette, and Alan Wilson pretended to return the salute with his hands in unison.

In the eyes of Hindus, Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism, of course, this is only the Hindus of British India who think so, and the Buddhists of other regions think that it is a fart.

After a friendly greeting, the representatives of both sides sat down, and Alan Wilson smiled and said something that the world was shattering, "Actually, I never think that what many people in London said is true, that is, the Congress Party is the Bolsheviks of British India, and Nehru is another Stalin. ”
