Although the British Empire was inferior to the United States and the Soviet Union after the war, it was big enough to win because the plate was large enough, and there were still many places to operate, in addition to British India, British Malaya, the British Middle East, British Africa and so on.

Alan Wilson didn't know when sleepiness had hit, so he simply cleaned up his things and collapsed at the head of the bed.

In the Princely State of Hyderabad, the initial exchange between the Princely Union and the Portuguese on white gloves continues, and after a few days it has taken place almost as well.

On this day, Ali Khan called Alan Wilson to the palace, his emaciated face was a little serious, and he revealed a message that was enough to catch a bolt from the blue, "Maybe in a few days, New Delhi will find you back again." ”

"I've just come back!" Alan Wilson was taken aback, and sensed that something was unusual, and if the Viceroyalty of British India had summoned him back, he would have sent a telegram directly.

And there doesn't seem to be much important about his work lately, and his work in Hyderabad is quite far from his work in British India, and he doesn't have much influence.

A hint of gloom flashed across Ali Khan's face, and he said coldly, "It seems that your princely state representative came to Hyderabad this time, and the Congress Party noticed that it was Nehru who put pressure on the Governor's Palace. ”

"He's really picky." When Alan Wilson heard his indignant muttering, it seemed that he still suffered the loss of age, and he thought too simple when doing things, which attracted the attention of the Congress party.

The pressure at this time has to be said to be a good opportunity, the better the situation, the more the British Viceroy of India does not want to drop the chain, hoping that British India will remain stable and end the world war.

Because of the gathering in the princely states of Hyderabad, it attracted Nehru's attention, and he wanted to make an example of the monkeys? However, this possibility cannot be ruled out, and all of a sudden Alan Wilson's mood became extremely bad.

"Alan, I have been in contact with Sir Barron and am very appreciative of your experience with Commissioner Hyderabad, and judging by the tone of the telegram, the matter is not serious, and may need to be prepared for some remarks." Seeing that Alan Wilson was a little worried, Ali Khan said with relief, "And I have prepared some gifts for Sir Barron, you should bring them when you return to New Delhi, it should not be difficult to pass the customs." ”

Alan Wilson was a little surprised that Ali Khan was able to do this, and sure enough, some true temperament could also be bred from the widespread ignorance in British India.

When the words came to his lips, Alan Wilson seemed to remember something, and said his thoughts in a communicative tone, "Dear Maharaja, there is actually a person who should not be out of your sight. ”

"Who?" Ali Khan was stunned for a moment, and quickly recalled the important political figures in British India in his mind, but he was not sure which person Alan Wilson was talking about?

"General Mountbatten." Alan Wilson said categorically, "I don't know what the result of returning to New Delhi this time will be, whether the Governor's Palace will transfer me out because of Nehru's pressure, although judging from the telegram between you and Sir Barron, the tone is quite mild, but I have to think more, Maharaja, I am still the Commissioner of Hyderabad, and I want to communicate with you very sincerely once and fulfill my responsibilities." ”

Alan Wilson said this sincerely, in a sense, he is still far from a real old civil servant, and when he came to Hyderabad to take office, he did so with sincerity.

So when dealing with Ali Khan, he, the Commissioner of Hyderabad, really thinks about the monarch of Hyderabad. Help Ali Khan find a way to maintain his status as an independent kingdom as much as possible, even if he knows that the chances of success are slim.

"Mountbatten?" Ali Khan muttered the name, and of course he knew that the owner of the name was the current commander of the Southeast Asian theater of operations, the supreme commander of the Anglo-Indian Corps. But that's all, the other party is a royal prince, and he commands the legion to fight in wartime, which can be understood as leading by example as a member of the royal family.

But what role does being a military man have to do in the current political situation in British India? The interference of royals in politics has long disappeared in Britain, right?

If the First World War had not dealt a heavy blow to the British aristocracy, how could it have disappeared so easily? Seeing Ali Khan's expression, Alan Wilson knew that the other party didn't care much, and emphasized, "Maharaja, I am very serious about my advice, General Mountbatten has an important role in the royal family. Prime Minister Churchill and General Mountbatten had a very good relationship! ”

Hearing the name of Prime Minister Churchill, Ali Khan changed his solemn color, for the British colonies that are currently all over the world, Prime Minister Churchill's name is still like thunder, and the people in these colonies still do not feel that the United States and the Soviet Union in the outside world have set off the British Empire very embarrassed.

But Alan Wilson knew that in war, Mountbatten was much better than Churchill, who was like a bullfight. After becoming the commander of the Southeast Asian theater, he maintained good relations with the allies on all fronts.

During the Burma Campaign, the armies of the Central Powers did not cooperate with each other, looked down on each other, and were broken by the Japanese army, putting British India in danger.

Most importantly, Mountbatten was to be appointed governor of British India immediately after the war, and the future of India was decided in Mountbatten's hands, and it was Mountbatten who took over as the last viceroy of India and led the partition of India and Pakistan.

Soon the telegram from New Delhi arrived in Hyderabad, and it was indeed like Ali Khan said, the wording was all in a peaceful tone, but Alan Wilson, who had entered the initial stage of speech, did not believe the content of the telegram, the official language, did not exist only in certain countries.

This time, Alan Wilson returned to New Delhi, and Ali Khan gave Alan Wilson a gift of a bag of gold to bring Alan Wilson to the event, and Alan Wilson, who had only been in office for three months, had to return to the heart of British India for the second time to accept the fate of an uncertain future.

The assistants who followed him to Hyderabad came to see him off, thinking that the return of his boss was just a matter of routine.

At this time, the Rhine defense line in the European direction had been fully broken, and the offensive of British Burma was also in full swing, and the Japanese army entrenched in Burma had a sad omen of its end.

The weather in New Delhi was fine, and the sun was shining through the windows of the Governor's Palace, and Sir Barron finally said helplessly, "Why do you organize a gathering of princely states, and invite the Portuguese?" Do you know that the current offensive in Burma still needs the support of British India's manpower and material resources? You should know something about the Congress Party's position, right? ”
