Chapter Twenty-Five: Mountbatten

"I don't know everything, but I know some. However, Ali Khan was not an ordinary princely monarch, and in the upper class of London, Ali Khan was also fully courteous. Now that the monarch of Hyderabad wants to do this, I have no reason to object to it. Alan Wilson's face was full of helplessness, and he shirked his responsibility as soon as he spoke.

Since Ali Khan is a registered figure in the eyes of the royal family of the British Empire, it is more appropriate for Ali Khan himself to carry this pot in collusion with the princely states, and the other party also has this ability.

Although the British Empire is a monarchy, it is the source of capitalism, so it respects Ali Khan's monarchical title and values Ali Khan's huge wealth, and the combination of the two, Ali Khan's value is very important in London.

"Although you are not very old, you are learning quite quickly in this area." Sir Barron smiled and picked out Alan Wilson's words to shirk responsibility, and took a deep breath and said, "But at this critical time, I can't ignore Nehru's pressure, the stability of British India is more important than anything else, let me think about what to do." Don't go to General Mountbatten, he's very wary of you! ”

I just sent a document! Alan Wilson exhaled lightly, had to leave Sir Barron's office, and as soon as he went out, he went straight to General Mountbatten's villa, and Sir Barron's subtext was to find a way for General Mountbatten immediately.

After some inquiry, after confirming that General Mountbatten was at the headquarters, he knocked directly on the door of the villa. In order to solve the current crisis, he can't care so much.

"If you can't get me this time, the death toll after India's independence will at least double." Greeting Nehru, Alan Wilson was secretly ruthless in his heart, he just wanted to strengthen the power of the princely state a little, and contacted the Portuguese again, ready to do some welfare for himself.

What's wrong with that? Isn't India yet independent? Was this British India a colony of the British Empire? What's wrong with him doing this in his own colony!

But Nehru just didn't know the general situation, and it was disgusting that Alan Wilson, who had good intentions and wanted India to be more democratic, ran into trouble that should not have happened.

After solving this trouble, he will definitely let Nehru know the consequences in the next time.

"Aren't you in South India? Why are you coming to my house again? What are you doing this time? As soon as she opened the door, Pamela Mountbatten saw Alan Wilson and instantly asked three questions about her soul.

"I hope that the next time we meet, we won't have to deal with this continuity." Alan Wilson looked at Pamela Mountbatten fixedly, skimmed the other party and glanced into the room, "Can you let me in, I came here specifically and brought you a gift." ”

What's in this part of South Asia? In addition to some well-known specialties, it is also the home of gems of the ancient social world. The crown jewel is also a literal meaning to the British Empire, which was also the center of diamond processing before the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa and Brazil, and Alan Wilson, who knows the history, knows that this has not changed in the 21st century because of the cost of manpower.

Commissioner Hyderabad had made a bloody trip and brought a small diamond from Ali Khan, and anyway, in his opinion, even if it was not ten carats, it was not far off.

"I can't ask for it, it's too expensive." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes glanced at the diamond, and she couldn't help refusing, "The last time you came, there were already rumors, what is the gift of diamonds this time." ”

You think I want to do that? Alan Wilson was angry and sighed, "I'm in trouble right now, and I hope to get through the current difficulties." ”

Then he told all the causes and consequences of the organization of the gathering in the princely state of Hyderabad and the reaction of the Congress party.

"Is it Nehru who is looking for trouble with you?" Pamela Mountbatten was amazed, "I heard that Nehru seems to be quite arrogant and can pay attention to your work in Hyderabad. However, you should go to Sir Barron, or Governor Wavell. ”

"Of course it is useful to find Sir Barron and Governor Wavell, but it is even more useful to find your father." Alan Wilson had an expression of "you don't lie to me", the royal family of the British Empire is definitely not an ornament, at least not yet.

Once upon a time, Alan Wilson would never have imagined that he would have to bribe an underage girl. But the world is so wonderful, and the most authoritative person in British India at present is Mountbatten, who holds the template of the British Dragon.

Do you want to get rich and risky, and do Pamela Mountbatten first, but it seems that Britain does not promote raw rice and cooked rice. Facing prison is more likely.

"What kind of eyes did you just have?" Pamela Mountbatten unconsciously moved backwards, and she just happened to see Alan Wilson's gaze just now.

"I'm wondering how I'm going to get through this." Lying with a red face and a heartbeat is no longer difficult for the current Alan Wilson, not to mention that the person who wants to deceive is still an underage girl.

"Let me ask for you!" After being indoctrinated with words for a long time, Pamela Mountbatten finally couldn't stand it. She didn't have many friends in British India, and although the Commissioner Hyderabad in front of her was not familiar with her, she made Pamela Mountbatten feel a little sorry for causing trouble to the other party last time.

It's not really greedy for diamonds or anything, Pamela Mountbatten thought so, and made a very brave decision for her to help this middle-level and high-level civil servant to test her father's tone.

The atmosphere in the Viceroyalty of British India was very embarrassing, and Governor Wavell was dressed in military uniform, more like Commander-in-Chief than Mountbatten in civilian clothes, but this was also true, the previous Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia was him.

Governor Wavell, who had been a field marshal long before the Viceroy of British India, did not interfere in the work of the Viceroy's Palace, but trusted Sir Barron, the head of the civil service.

Sir Barron was of course in the room, and he looked relaxed as if he didn't know anything about it. Mountbatten stopped talking, and asked, "What does Sir Barron think of the protest against the Congress?" ”

"In principle, British India does need the support of the Congress Party for the war at the moment, but we cannot fail to consider another matter, and that is the authority of the Viceroyalty." Sir Barron said with a slight pause, "It's not a big deal in itself, and I believe Nehru shouldn't have taken it to heart." ”

Oh! Mountbatten nodded clearly, but he was actually not satisfied with this answer in his heart, how could his daughter find a chance to speak for this person?

"Well, I'll meet with him and talk about it." Mountbatten opened his mouth and said to Sir Barron, "Don't worry, it's just a simple chat, and I believe that it's not difficult for me to communicate." ”

An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Sir Barron's mouth, and then his face was solemn, "Since the commander-in-chief thinks it is appropriate, I believe that this princely state commissioner has no reason to refuse." ”
