Alexander Cadogan, who catered to Prime Minister Chamberlain's idea of resolutely replacing the permanent secretary of the Foreign Office, who advocated a preemptive strike against Germany, was of course morally impeccable.

What is the problem with using the grain of British India to solve the current problems in Britain and even in the British-occupied areas of Germany? Isn't this a matter of course, otherwise what would colonize India do? I'm not far away from the UK to do charity?

It's just that out of his usual caution, Alexander Cadogan still pretended to be reserved and looked at Alan Wilson with encouraging eyes, "Alan, analyze the feasibility of this matter. ”

"Permanent Secretary, I believe that none of you colleagues here should know India better than me." Alan Wilson couldn't wait to stand up and said in a confident professional tone, "I believe that all colleagues have heard of the wealth of British India, I have worked in British India for a while, and I dare not say that I know the local area very well, but it can be said that I am not an outsider. ”

"Geographically, British India is undoubtedly a very suitable place for agriculture, as evidenced by the large population of the country, and some British Indian officials even say that Indians breed like cockroaches and still survive."

As soon as Alan Wilson's words fell, the whole conference room burst into laughter, unabashedly demonstrating the high moral standards of the old imperialists.

"The arable land of British India is second only to the United States in the world, and I believe that everyone is impressed by the agricultural foundation of the United States, which has never been troubled by supplies since it entered the war. India's abundant rainfall, moderate temperatures, and large agricultural population made it the jewel in the crown of the empire. ”

British India has a lot of arable land, absolutely yes! It's just that it has a population no less than that of China, and even the current officials of British India don't know how many people they have in the colonies they manage.

It is true that British India has abundant rainfall, and like Africa, most of India has a rainy season and a dry season. India, which is located in the monsoon zone, often experiences several months of rainfall in a row, with few sunny days during this period. Even in the 21st century, floods in India are often reported.

And once there is a flood in India, it usually occurs in the Ganges River basin, which is home to 80% of India's population.

The rainy season is followed by the dry season, so after the floods, drought is not new in India, and large areas of grain harvest are not harvested, resulting in a very high suicide rate among Indian farmers.

In the agricultural era, the climate was stable, and the average rainfall was the real foundation, which is not comparable to the natural conditions of India in the monsoon climate and the United States, which is regularly harvested by the cold current of the Arctic Ocean.

India's agricultural conditions are good, only on paper, in fact, the Ganges River Basin, the most populous place, is too close to the Himalayas, resulting in the monsoon season, the monsoon is blocked by the roof of the world, and the Ganges River basin receives a lot of precipitation in the rainy season.

The annual rainfall of 2,000 millimeters is 1,006 in the rainy season, and because India is located in the tropics, the evaporation is huge, and these rains cannot be retained at all, and there is no shortage of water in the country, but it is all over in two months, and then it evaporates again.

Of course, in Alrenwell's mouth, none of these disadvantages existed. India is the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, the foundation that supports the glory of the British Empire, and it is right to find India if it is difficult.

Alexander Cadogan nodded frequently and said to himself, "I almost forgot that Allen was the liaison officer of the Colonial Office to British India, and was very familiar with the situation in British India as a whole. ”

"That's not all familiar." Alan Wilson pretended to be modest and said, "Only in the environment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with so many excellent colleagues, can we come up with a solution." ”

Although he is full of modesty on the surface, if Alan Wilson has a tail on his buttocks, it is estimated that he will be able to go to heaven at this time.

"If Alan thinks there is no problem, he can contact the Indian side after the meeting. I don't know where India's grain is grown. Alexander Cadogan nodded, ready to leave the handling of the food shortage to the foreign secretary for decision.

Alexander Cadogan had never worked in British India, and if he had asked some Chinese questions, he would have answered.

It doesn't matter, Alan Wilson, the commissioner who also receives Ali Khan's salary, knows very well that the grain-producing area of India, similar to the place of the North Okura, is the Punjab province of British India.

British Punjab actually has very poor conditions on paper, with scarce precipitation, a savannah and tropical desert climate, almost like a grassland near the Sahara Desert, but the dimension is northerly, and there is no excess sunshine.

As for most parts of India, the agricultural environment conditions are very poor, with waterlogging and drought, and excess sunlight.

After the partition of British India, India only grabbed one-fifth of Punjab, which is such a small area, but it has become the most dependent grain producing area in the whole country.

"Okay, that's all for today, Alan, you can contact the Indian Governor's Palace." Alexander Cadogan breathed a sigh of relief, there is still a lot on the agenda, and today is just the beginning.

"I'll do it right away." Alan Wilson stood straight like a soldier about to be reviewed.

After the meeting ended, Ivor looked at Alan Wilson, who seemed to be in a lot of energy, and said strangely, "It seems that when you mention the matter of India, you are a lot more active all of a sudden." ”

"Ivour, people must not be prejudiced. Tens of millions of people in the British-occupied areas are now unable to get food. We are British gentlemen, how can we do things like the Soviets or the Americans, we are signatories to the Geneva Conventions. Alan Wilson said sternly, "If there is a large-scale unnatural death in the occupied area, it will have a negative impact on the reputation of the British Empire." ”

"What's wrong with the Americans? General Eisenhower was a good man, at least much stronger than Patton. Ivor scoffed, not knowing where his colleague had heard the news.

"But that doesn't change Eisenhower's German-flavored accent!" Alan Wilson said that in order to show loyalty to the United States, Eisenhower would only show greater loyalty than the average American general.

Leaving the room, Alan Wilson, who had been empowered, immediately contacted the Ministry of Indian Affairs, Punjab was a good place for peace, Sikhs and Hindus.

After more than a month in Europe, Alan Wilson finally had the opportunity to make contact with the great powers again, and I would like to cry with joy just thinking about it.
