Chapter 1195 Return to India
Just because the northern neighbor was a great enemy didn’t mean that Britain was the good guy; defeat was a bad thing, and so was the return of the British.
But now in this situation, Nehru can’t be thinking of Britain as an enemy, Indian society has become so fragile, if it still insists on an anti-British stance, it will only shake India more.
India’s capital, New Delhi, a small British army, playing the familiar rice flag so grandly appeared, frightened Indians, is facing the country’s collapse of the critical moment, saw the former sovereign country’s army appeared, appeared extremely divided reaction, some people indifferent, because they do not know the British army appeared to be what the purpose of the British army.
There is also a part of the people’s reaction, that is simply to see the savior, fandango this word is used to describe these people is not too much, full of pimples written father love me again, this team of British troops shouted.
Even the poorest patriots in the East End of London did not behave so revealingly as these men.
“What kind of folk move without half a million pounds in assets? Do they deserve it?” Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and expressed his opinion on the fact that immigration applications were increasing in front of his friend Makins, “Why should we destroy the social environment of our own country without showing a little value? On the basis that they are black enough? Blacker than black Americans?”
Makins nodded, “The standards do need to be stuck a little tighter, we are trying to increase the impact, not the burden.”
“That’s it!” Alan Wilson agreed deeply, the value of the existence of these high prints is nothing more than the Na cast, and then in the British economy is not good, to provide a little blood cow role, such as the possibility of confiscation of property.
Britain have been forced by the United States to buy and sell over, the so-called inviolability of private property is an empty phrase.
In later times, Russia’s frozen property caused an uproar because it was Russia that was frozen. Russia is a powerful country in people’s impression, but before Russia, Libya, Iraq, Iran, which has not been frozen?
And who caused controversy? It’s like no one cares about anything, and the fact that Russia’s assets have been frozen has caused a lot of discussion, which means that the freezing of Russia’s assets has caused a lot of controversy and overturned people’s perceptions.
This war is not large-scale, it is impossible to let India fall, eat the corpse can not be done, but a little blood, pulling together some of the independence of the nouveau riche immigrants to the United Kingdom, or can look forward to. Mosquito is also meat.
“But then again, the Foreign Office has no action?” Makins asked rhetorically, “There was not a Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Meeting, now Nehru will still attend it?”
“The Secretary of State is about to open his visit to New Delhi to express Britain’s diplomatic support for India. At that time we will announce at a press conference that Commonwealth support for India will be discussed at the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Meeting in December.”
Alan Wilson replied unperturbed, “Of course, we will not be briefing Nehru beforehand, and there is no need for the Honorable Prime Minister of India to know that he himself must attend the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Meeting.”
If Nehru did not attend, it showed that Nehru did not have the heart of a statesman and would only hide when he met a setback.
It would have been better if he had attended, and India would have been grateful for some goodwill from the Commonwealth. But there is no denying that there might have been some more malicious talk.
Who let India lose the war? The world is very realistic, in front of the prime ministers of the Commonwealth countries, Nehru stared at the status of the prime minister of the defeated country, what sound and color of the great powers, will be dissipated.
Ultimately the dish is the original sin, say a thousand words, India is defeated, find as many reasons as you can, it is still a defeat.
“The Foreign Secretary is going to visit India? It’s really a bold decision.” Makins asked, taken aback, “Alan, isn’t this too radical?”
“We have no choice but to do it. There’s a lot of unseen stuff involved.” Alan Wilson shrugged, in the British perspective, when was world power status shattered?
Some could trace it back to the US economy overtaking Britain, the Boer War a little later, World War I, and later World War II. But it was known to the general public that Britain was not going to make it, there was no other option, it was the Suez Canal War, there was no second option.
How was the US perceived to be failing, allowing the Soviet Union to launch a global offensive?
Wasn’t it the Vietnam War when the Iron Fist of Saigon was shown, and before that, people thought there was something wrong with you, and you thought there was something wrong with you, and people thought you knew there was something wrong with you, and you knew that people suspected there was something wrong with you.
Everyone thought you had a problem, but no one came out to really try to see if you really had a problem. Since there is no leader, then there is no problem.
Although Britain’s economy has been overtaken by the US, and the Boer War, WWI and WWII were pretty grueling. But no matter what, a few wars Britain was a solid victor, and won dishonorably Britain still won. The Suez Canal War was nothing like that.
In a period of contraction, Britain can not just keep on contracting, always have to do something to show that the strength is still there, and this time it is very appropriate. When it’s time to grab heads, it’s time to grab heads.
Britain’s head-stealing performance is definitely not without effect, which will make the British colonies and the Commonwealth countries believe that the old father is still old, and can still be up at critical moments.
The effect of the Suez Canal War was that it led to a feeling of unrest within the Commonwealth that the old man was no more.
And once you have that feeling, why would anyone want to follow you? Wouldn’t it be better to go to the USSR?
Once the weakness is exposed, it is a strategic contraction, and if it becomes a big deal, it will be the end of the British colonial empire, and the disintegration of the USSR. Decades later, in the Ukrainian issue, the Sleeping King emphasized that the United States would not intervene, and sold the Ukraine cleanly.
A contraction is already in place, the question is whether it will be a contraction to the end or a comeback in ten or eight years, as it was during the Reagan years. If it’s impossible to make a comeback, there are local powers like Iran, Venezuela, Turkey, etc. lined up to go down.
Now it is known that the warring parties are fighting on land, Britain is a maritime power, anyway, no matter which one of the two sides can not hit Britain, Britain of course, to rub the heat, make a look like the end of the war I pressurized the appearance of India believe it or not, the Commonwealth believe on the line.
In order to consolidate the prestige of the Commonwealth countries, Britain must take the risk of rubbing the heat, and in the process, India stepped on a foot hard.
At this moment, the return of British troops to the subcontinent, warmly welcomed by the Indians in a situation of national destruction, has been reported by the major newspapers, optimistic newspapers even believe that the Indians will invite Britain back.
Alan Wilson had to put out the fire for such wishful thinking by getting Dixon to say to the public that Britain would not be returning to India and that the present operation was only to bring peace back and stop the recurrence of war.
What is the Honorable Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office doing? Is expressing the initial thought that there were a lot of people outside just now and I had to do this.
Lin Lian Yu came to London almost immediately after several transitions, moment by moment, to expound the attitude of a certain great power.
“The status of Hong Kong’s free port will not be weakened in any way. Mr. Lin, you know me, I have worked in both India and Malaya, and I am not exactly a minor bureaucrat. I have deep feelings for both countries, not to mention, I’ve also lived in Xiangjiang, which you often visit, for a while.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to pacify, “When people’s hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, the UK always has to take a stand, but by no means is it going to be hostile to your home country.”
“Please rest assured that this war will not affect the relationship between the two countries, nothing will change.”
“It is still truly shocking to hear that Britain has assembled a large fleet of hundreds of warships.” Lin Lianyu breathed a sigh of relief and also expressed the worries he had when he was in Xiangjiang.
“Not having guns and having guns and not using them are two different things, Britain is just going to show that Britain has guns.” Alan Wilson waved his hand and said, “Personally, I still very much appreciate, this time your country’s strategic determination. All news from the British side is subject to the public statements of the Foreign Office, don’t be disturbed by information from some unknown sources, when peace comes, we all have a bright future for each other.”
Closing the free port of Xiangjiang is out of the question, Alan Wilson could not explain to his wife why he should close the window for people to export oil, and that too in pounds sterling.
Not to mention Swire, Jardine, and even on the mainland in Shannon, there are not a few people who are eating their fill of oil.
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of a portion of Indians and all Commonwealth and colonial citizens, the reason why India has preserved a dog’s life is inseparable from the extreme sublimity of my Great Britain this time, India? How dare that disarmed, drunken, and disarming man talk about it?
The Times expounded in a very plain tone the fact that if it were not for the firmness of Britain, this time India’s demise would have been at hand.
Alan Wilson reimbursed Lin Lianyu for the round-trip traveling expenses this time, holding out a white slip, “Give this to Pamela to receive a Land Rover automobile.”
Subsequently, the British diplomatic mission team was assembled at a rapid pace, and Alan Wilson followed Rab Butler on his trip to India.
After more than ten years, Alan Wilson once again returned to India, and when he thought back carefully, the vibrant, all-embracing realm was still in front of his eyes.
“Alan, what are you thinking about?” Ten thousand meters above the sky, Labo Butler eyes to see the permanent undersecretary so sentimental, opened his mouth to inquire.
“I also thought that I would not have the chance to return to the place where I have lived and fought in, on reflection, this place has left a lot of good memories.” Alan Wilson was full of sincerity, he did not know if the apartment that received the Hollywood guests was still there, he was going to take pictures and show them to the ladies who were on equal footing with his wife, in order to memorialize the good.
