Chapter 17 Strength is everything

"We are gentlemen of the civilized world, don't look at things in terms of local caste." Pamela Mountbatten's face was strange, how could this young civil servant, when he opened his mouth, he looked like an old man, obviously there are many beautiful things in the world, but the other party turned a blind eye.

"Every day the two religions are fighting, and we have indeed colonized this place in the British, so if one day we leave, can we expect the Indians to thank us?" Alan Wilson sneered, "What Britain has done here, we as Britons know very well. ”

British India had wanted to establish a more efficient system of governance, just before the Great Indian Revolt. At that time, while establishing an efficient management system, Britain devoured the princely states and eliminated the caste system.

The caste system was the backbone of Hinduism, and eventually several causes combined to create the Great Indian Revolt. After the Great Indian Revolt, British India also officially appeared. Later, the Viceroy of British India officially abandoned his previous idea and kept the princely states living in harmony with the princely states, and did not want to do anything about the caste system.

No matter how many colonial officials the British sent, they would always be numerically disadvantaged, so the caste system happened to facilitate their colonial rule, making it easier for them to find out which ethnic groups the upper class needed to co-opt and buy, and which lower classes of the common people only needed to serve as cheap labor.

The traditional caste system's restrictions on individual occupations also made it easier for the British to plan which groups of people to do which manual work, and what positions the upper classes should occupy in the colonial government.

The British Empire did not rule India for the sake of welfare and equality, but to preserve the hierarchical system of human beings, which was essentially the same as classifying animals in zoos for easy captivity.

After a lengthy investigation, the British Raj formally incorporated caste into British Indian law. As for the British citizens, they enjoy all the rights of the upper castes of India, but not among any castes. To put it simply, it means that the benefits are all wanted, and it is necessary to transcend the caste system.

"Miss, don't trust any of the upper echelons of the colony, they all have a purpose, and once we leave, they will incite the people at the bottom to curse us, it's inevitable." Alan Wilson slapped the table with the file bag in his hand, "Don't look at how peaceful they are, it's fake, Nehru is one of them." ”

Nehru? When Pamela Mountbatten heard the name, it was as if she had heard her mother mention it!

Why hasn't the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater of Operations come back yet? Although Alan Wilson was already prepared for a career as a civil servant, he happened to accept a task that was not very reliable, and the task was actually still reliable, and Mountbatten was a bit unreliable.

"If I can give it to my father for you, you won't believe me, will you?" Pamela Mountbatten held out her hand and raised it in front of Allen.

"Well, no, it's just more reassuring to hand it over yourself. This may have been the distribution of supplies for British India's support for the war in Burma, and in principle should not have been known to politicians of Indian origin. Alan Wilson stopped talking, as if he had made a great determination to hand it over to Pamela Mountbatten, "I'm not a civil servant in the Governor's Palace, and I'm going to Hyderabad in the next few days, so I'll leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, I will hand it over to my father with my own hands, and I will never let my mother see it." Pamela Mountbatten tilted her head and said confidently, "You are too serious, how can you look like someone from MI6?" ”

Alan Wilson's body as he walked towards the door paused slightly, but immediately adjusted and left the villa, what do you say? He really provided information about Pearl Harbor, how could he not contact the intelligence. Now, in addition to being a commissioner in Hyderabad, he is also an informant for MI6.

"Miss Pamela, then please." Alan Wilson politely said goodbye and closed the door from the outside.

It is undoubtedly the Yalta Conference, the triumvirate of Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt, who are now at the end of the Axis and whose post-war order will be formulated under the leadership of the leaders of the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, which is full of intrigues.

The later French President Charles de Gaulle once said with great anger that this was a meeting to divide the spoils, full of black-box operations. However, in Alan Wilson's opinion, it is nothing more than the absence of French cakes on the table to share the spoils that makes him so dissatisfied.

Thirty years back in time, the Big Three after World War I had a place for France, and Britain and France joined forces to snub President Wilson of the United States, so that the United States, which was still a little immature in the world, did not get what it wanted.

"Sir Barron, it seems that the Prime Minister has not obtained President Roosevelt's understanding on some issues." Mountbatten crossed his legs, looked at Sir Barron and Viceroy Wavell, who was in the same room, and said abruptly, "Shouldn't we Britain and the United States be on the same front?" ”

Sir Barron's face changed slightly, and he cleared his throat and said, "Commander Mountbatten, politics is a very complicated matter, and each country has different interests, and at this stage, the war is not over. The Prime Minister's first and foremost guarantee is the integrity of the united front, and in this process we must maintain a semblance of rapprochement with the Soviets, at least until the defeat of Germany, and as for the American mentality, we should also look at it from a mature political perspective, and we should not be too harsh until the end of the war. ”

Alan Wilson rolled his eyes, Sir Barron used superb words, it seemed to say a lot of things, but in fact he didn't say anything, in fact, the current consistency between the United States and the Soviet Union on many issues can only be explained by one reason, that is, the Americans, and President Roosevelt, believed that the Soviet Union was stronger than Britain, so he listened more to each other's claims, and strength determines everything.

But Sir Barron and the British, who are here, admit that the Soviet Union is more important in the eyes of the Americans, and some cannot say it.

As for why Alan Wilson didn't return to Hyderabad, but is here, that's a good question, and he wants to know as well.

"In fact, the benefits that we were able to exchange with the Soviet Union were no less than those of the Americans." Governor Wavell sighed and said, "But on the issue of Poland and Greece, the two sides are at an impasse. ”

Mountbatten patted his head, shook his head and didn't want to bother with this matter, but turned his eyes to Alan Wilson, looked at it, and said, "You are younger than I thought, no wonder Pamela is talking about you, but Alan, my daughter is still young, she is only sixteen years old, and it is not gentlemanly for you to enter my villa and stay with her for so long." Of course, you became a Hyderabad commissioner at the age of twenty-one, which is not very bad, but there is a gap between you and me, as for your appearance? There is also a gap! ”

If he had a gun in his pocket now, Alan Wilson might have considered breaking up the narcissist, even though the other side was right.
