Chapter 187: Win-win
As soon as these words came out, the delegates of the Congress Party fell silent, and the whole room could be heard falling pins, and even Nehru himself changed color slightly, but immediately recovered.
What Stalin and the Bolsheviks were like in the eyes of the British Empire, even if these native elites of British India were closed, could feel that they were definitely not close allies.
Even Alan Wilson himself thinks so in his heart, from the point of conscience, you can do such a good thing in your own country, don't think about coming out and influencing the world, so that everyone can still be friends. If you have to be restless, you can only die.
"It's all nonsense, the Congress party has nothing to do with the Bolsheviks." Nehru said with an unchanging face, "Of course, the Congress Party may have similarities with the Bolsheviks in the struggle for national independence, and this is the consensus of all Indians. β
Seeing that Alan Wilson opened his mouth as the wording of the Hongmen banquet, Nehru was naturally not to be outdone and threatened Alan Wilson from another place.
Of course, this is useless, and nothing can change his determination to cash in British India for the next three years, so Alan Wilson not only did not restrain Nehru's ridicule, but said, "Just yesterday, I sent a telegram to Jakarta to congratulate the Dutch army on the elimination of the pro-Axis forces. β
"Some backward nations in this world are so naΓ―ve that they really think they can change anything, especially in Jakarta, where a seaside city dares to confront a maritime power, and the shelling is right."
Alan Wilson opened his mouth in the most straightforward imperialist tone, singing the praises of the Dutch Navy shelling Jakarta. Even intentionally or unintentionally, he said that he should come back a few more times.
"India is not an archipelago, but a continent!" One of the slightly balding Congress delegates spoke up and said that comparing the East Indies to India was a false comparison.
"Maybe there are no coastal cities in India, right?" Alan Wilson smiled and said without a trace, "As long as a fleet is assembled, the British Empire can completely replicate the Dutch bombardment of Jakarta in any country except the United States, name the coastal cities of this country one by one, shell this city for two hours, and immediately rush to the next city, without landing or occupying land, just destroy." β
"Of course, there's no benefit to that. Nothing beneficial, even if it has the upper hand, is a child's play, so as long as it is generally passable, the Royal Navy will not do this. β
After the threat was over, Alan Wilson relented and said that the war could result in one side winning and the other losing, and that the negotiations could be a win-win.
These words made the Congress delegates nod their heads in approval, and in their opinion, Alan Wilson just wanted to take a certain initiative before the negotiations, mainly for the so-called win-win result.
He had not forgotten his original intention of separating the Andaman Islands from British India. It's all written down in a small book, but it's not yet appropriate to act until the budget of the British Raj is spent.
"By win-win, the British Empire won twice." Seeing the delegates of the Congress Party sitting down one after another, a smile appeared on Alan Wilson's face, and he beckoned the secretary of the Governor's Palace to bring up the papers and put them in front of Nehru and the others.
If the Congress Party does not cooperate with this big construction plan, then Alan Wilson will have to contact the commissioners of the other British colonies, the Indians have been the doglegs of the British Empire for so many years, and now they want to be independent, so the Indians in the other colonies, should they go back to their homeland?
If you think about it carefully, from South Africa, Mauritius, to Aden, and British Ceylon, who to send telegrams to, it depends on Alan Wilson's mood, where did the typographic wave begin? He thinks it's better to start from a young age and start nearby.
Just if you want to remind the Congress Party to sober up, start with Mauritius, I'm afraid that these Congress people can't see it, so start with British Sikkim, if it really doesn't work, you can start from British Malaya.
This is all to completely eradicate the hidden dangers of the colony, and it is good for everyone, so it is normal for Indians who have not served the British for a long time to bear the brunt of the expulsion, imprisonment and even massacre.
The Congress party members who were watching the great construction plan probably never dreamed that the British people on the opposite side were thinking about where it would be more appropriate to set off a wave of typographic printing and give these Indians who wanted independence a deterrent.
"Why bother with where to start? It is entirely possible to let the free people overthrow the exploitation of the colonial Indians. Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, ashamed that he had just fallen into a misunderstanding.
This great construction plan can be said to be the embodiment of all the efforts of the British civil servants in British India, and it is meticulous and detailed, describing the potential of British India in large paragraphs.
Examining the present foundations of British India, as well as an assessment of the feasibility of development, every step of the way looks impeccable.
The plan is full of professional assessments and an encouraging outlook for the future.
It is a very important macroeconomic and social management tool to set goals and directions for the long-term prospects of national economic and social development, and to make plans for major national construction projects, the distribution of productive forces, the relationship between important proportions of the national economy, and social undertakings.
There are also passages on bridging religious divisions and balancing developments everywhere, and to tell the truth, on paper, the Congress party has before it an even more complete plan than the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union in 1928.
It can even be said that Alan Wilson was deliberately imitating the Soviet Union's five-year plan, and the reason for doing so was naturally that he knew that Nehru himself had been to the Soviet Union and was deeply impressed by the rapid development of the Soviet Union at that time.
This can be seen from the history of India's economic development after India's independence, when Nehru also implemented a five-year plan for India's economic development.
The leader of the Congress party has indeed stayed true to his original aspiration and has tried his best to lead India into a strong country within the scope of his permission.
From this point alone, the Congress Party is stronger than the Artillery Party, and Nehru, who has been to the Soviet Union, is stronger than Chang Gong, who has also been to the Soviet Union.
Since it was known that Nehru had a Soviet complex, this plan was naturally based on the Soviet Union's five-year plan. Used to seduce Nehru to approve.
At present, looking at Nehru's expression as he looked at the plan seriously, it seems that he should have been touched.
Again, it is not surprising that this was the case, and as long as the plan was carried out, there would indeed be some improvement in British India. However, the premise is that British India still exists.
Was the industrial distribution of the USSR strong? From the perspective of confrontation, if the Soviet Union led a group of small Eastern European countries to confront the imperialist powers, the Soviet Union's industrial system was of course powerful, and no one would deny this.
But the results of the collapse of the Soviet Union showed that no matter how powerful the industrial system was, it was useless in the face of national collapse.
The draft of the plan alone was already very exciting, and Alan Wilson showed great patience as he waited for the Congress delegates to read the rough plan.
"It's strange that the British never seemed so sincere in the last hundred years." Nehru, who had read the draft, said quietly, "Now that he is suddenly empathetic, what is this for?" β
"In the past 100 years, the British Empire has not fought two world wars at the same time in such a short period of time. Still? Alan Wilson changed his words, and his arrogant expression appeared on his face again, "The end result is that we won." β
"Truth be told, what the British Empire needs at present is to quickly get out of its wartime state and prove to the world that even after two world wars, the British Empire is still invincible."
Nehru looked dismissive, apparently disapproving of the young British representative, but he thought that the man's statement was at least partly acceptable.
The British Empire before the war was the leader of the world, and now the British Empire is only one of the leaders of the world.
Of course, at this time, Nehru had not yet gotten carried away after independence. However, they also believe that the British are not as good as they used to be, and that as long as the Congress Party adheres to the idea of independence, it can get rid of the colonial rule of the British.
This idea might be fine for any Englishman, but sitting across from Nehru was Alan Wilson, who had no record not only against India, but even against other countries.
The non-aligned countries are leading the way: India, Indonesia, Yugoslavia and Egypt.
Yugoslavia has already been kicked into the arms of the Soviets, and it is not expected to appear on the stage of non-alignment, and perhaps the face of the Warsaw Pact thugs will appear in the future.
The remaining three are within British reach, Jakarta in Indonesia has just been shelled, Egypt is not a threat in the short term, and now as long as India is in the ditch, it will be up to anyone to organize the Non-Aligned Movement in ten years.
"It looks pretty good, but India, as an ancient civilization, can't exist as a colony." Although Nehru was already moved, he did not leak his words, "If all the interests belong to Britain, no amount of construction will help." β
"Mr. Nehru, I am very concerned about the anti-British stance of the Congress party." Alan Wilson raised his eyelids and said faintly, "I believe that both sides don't want Chandra Bose's incident to happen again, it's a pity, if it wasn't for the wrong way, how could the plane have fallen?" Right? β
Chandra Bose, the leader of the Indian National Army, has died in a plane crash. When Chandra Bose's death broke, many Congress members suspected that he had been assassinated, but there was no evidence.
