Chapter Sixty-Nine: Yes, Chancellor!
People are in Europe, and their hearts are in India, this is the current state of Alan Wilson, and the more likely it is that British India will be independent from Britain, the more Alan Wilson wants to fight the last post.
No way, who made him an imperial civil servant? What else can be done if you don't think about the interests of the British Empire?
Since he himself was the liaison of the Indian Office to British India, and was only temporarily attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was very familiar with the liaison with the Indian Office, which, combined with the first-hand information of the present situation in Europe, showed the importance of restoring order in Europe as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that all the countries of Europe are now suffering badly because of the war, and if we do not admit this, we will wait for the liberation of the whole world by the Soviet Union.
At this time, we cannot believe the self-deception of Europe and the free world, otherwise it is no different from the Democrats who believe in the polls, and the real estate businessmen have proved that the polls are tantamount to fraud.
To be honest, at this time, to raise the grain of British India and transport it to Europe was to measure the material resources of Great Britain and make Europe happy.
But Britain can't pay for it themselves! Supporting Europe was a decision made by the London government, and the London government itself was responsible for holding accountable, and all Alan Wilson could do was to use his knowledge of British India to make the responsibility that Britain itself should have borne and let British India bear it.
Avoid burdening the British Empire in the immediate aftermath of the war. When it comes to patriotism, Alan Wilson is completely selfless, just to make the country better.
He, the liaison officer of British India, was just an executor, doing what seemed to be a British flesh and bloodletting to Europe. The decision was made by the London government.
It was also because of the colonial status of British India that the burden could be passed on. Otherwise, it is like the proposition of the sleeping king in the 21st century, the United States has made friends with Europe, and it is slowly plotting against a certain big country. It seems that the long-term vision will be sacrificed by the citizens of their own countries for the benefits that can be ceded, and the citizens would rather continue to watch the real estate businessmen who have fought seven blows continue to come to power.
For British citizens in 1945, the London government needed to restore order in Europe immediately, and in the big picture it had to spend money, but for British citizens, I really had a cow!
"There is no doubt that in this world war, India's native elite has grown again. British India has become more and more uncontrollable, but Britain still faces many problems, but for the time being, it is necessary to ensure the operation of the local economy, and the way that can be thought of, and has been effective in the past, is to use the material resources of British India to support Britain and Europe at present. ”
In a telegram to Leo Emery, the Minister of Indian Affairs, Alan Wilson said that he must not soften his stance on draining India of the last bit of value.
He believed that the Secretary of State for India would understand this, because it was under the wise leadership of Leo Emory that the British, in spite of the outbreak of famine in India, sent food to support the war and allowed the outbreak of the Great Famine in Bengal to be quelled as soon as possible.
Since there is a first time, it is nothing to have a second time, anyway, the abnormal weather in South Asia is a well-known thing.
Alan Wilson certainly knows the possible consequences, and if he doesn't have the ability to fart and create climate change on the planet, there will be climate fluctuations in many countries around the world next year, and food shortages in many places. The most famous was the 1946 famine in the Soviet Union, but in fact India also broke out in the same year.
At this time, it was proposed to transport grain from British India, and the famine might expand next year, but it could not be so much. Alan Wilson doesn't believe that there are still people who use next year's natural disasters to find this year's aftermath.
"Tell Harrett to come in and send a telegram to the Viceroy of India." Leo Emery, the Minister of Indian Affairs, called in the Secretary of the Indian Department and said, "It's a matter from the Foreign Office, simply put, Marshal Montgomery's British-occupied area, which needs food to stabilize the social order as soon as possible, and the current situation in the country also knows that if it affects the quality of life of its own citizens, it may have a negative impact at this time of the election." ”
"Yes, Chancellor!" Harrett stood still and listened to the words of the Indian Affairs Secretary, Leo Emery, and added, "For personal reasons, I don't think I heard about the election. I'll inform the Viceroy of India right away! ”
"Nothing difficult, right?" Leo Emery asked if he was afraid of causing chaos in British India.
"There is no problem, the 100,000 civil servants of British India are ready to devote themselves to the busy work of making imperial decisions." Harrett patted his chest in reassurance.
What could be the problem? For civil servants, idleness is certainly a pursuit. But idleness also proves that there is no chance of making money, and the officials of British India, not only are not disgusted by such imperial tasks, but will work with a hundred times more spirit, because the benefits contained in them will make everyone indifferent.
In the Viceroyalty of British India in New Delhi, Governor Wavell took a telegram from the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs in London, and scratched his head a little and said, "The war in Southeast Asia is not over yet, and London still expects British India to send some grain to help the mainland stabilize the situation in Europe as soon as possible. ”
"I don't think so, Governor." Sir Barron smiled and said with relief, "There is no doubt that British India is extremely important to the British Empire, and without British India, the British Empire would not have prospered so successfully. But at the moment we are in the service of the bigger picture, and it is indeed the most important thing to restore stability to our country and Europe as soon as possible, and the Minister of Indian Affairs is not wrong about that. ”
"I'm just worried that there is too much pressure on British India." Governor Wavell said with some embarrassment, "By the way, this is a telegram from that little commissioner, I don't know how Punjab will produce this year." I am a little worried about the gathering of various religions in Punjab, and the majority of people in the area are peaceful believers, which will not cause religious conflicts. ”
Sir Barron took the telegram from Governor Wavell's hand, and looked at the concern about the mixing of the three major religions in Punjab, and the corners of his mouth curled, how could this be so similar to the wording of Wilson Sr.'s telegram in Bengal during the famine in Bengal?
"No problem, Governor!" Sir Barron put away the telegram and reported, "We will be sure to supply enough food." ”
The sun was setting, and the busy day of the Governor's Palace had passed, and Pamela Mountbatten was waiting in front of the Governor's Palace, and after a while, Sir Barron got off work and saw Pamela Mountbatten waiting at a glance.
"Uncle Barron!" Pamela Mountbatten greeted very well-behaved, "Is there my telegram?" ”
"It depends on whose telegram you want!" Sir Barron sold a pass, then drew out a telegram and handed it over, "Then, as a girl, you should pay attention to your ladylike demeanor." ”
