Chapter 1398 Exhorting India

Hawksin Manor, many of the high commissioners who sacrificed for their country and traveled far and wide overseas pushed their glasses and exchanged ideas on how to benefit the society with each other, and the permanent undersecretaries of several important departments on the mainland expressed their respect to each other.

“Alisa, let you long-distance travel is not my wish, but the Malayan colony is ready?” Alan Wilson raised his glass and clinked it with his old subordinate, emphasizing, “Whether it’s a war or not, we have to do it right, in my opinion, after the British landed, the main battles are over, at that time, the East Pakistani society collapsed, instead, the refugees and the relief issue is the most important, what can be solved with a piece of candy, don’t use a bullet, this will our country’s image is also extremely important.”

“I’ve already prepared 10,000 tons of rice, 1,000 tons of sugar, instant noodles, and other supplies for the aftermath of the war.” Alisa said without any problem, “It’s just that from my personal thoughts, it’s best not to fight, after all, the war brings a great impact, Yangon side we also communicated, once the Rakhine region is facing the problem of refugees, as long as the British army doesn’t land from Burma, the Yangon government is willing to appeal to the international community for the British to send their troops to intervene in the situation in East Pakistan, so as to bring back the calm. ”

As for the composition of the troops to be sent is needless to say, the Malayan garrison is the main, the Middle East British troops can not be used, the Malayan garrison, whether it is the British, Chinese or Malay troops, are not of interest, in a sense, can be done in a fair and impartial manner.

Seeing her top boss nodding, Alisa also asked her concern, “Once a confrontation is formed with the Indian army, what do we do then? How do we force the Indian army to leave East Pakistan?”

“As far as the Indian army’s military discipline is concerned, isn’t it just a matter of trying to catch them in the act? A little bit of energy is taken out to catch a group of rapists and expose them, and the word will immediately spread around the world.” Alan Wilson is not worried about this problem at all, even if India has been independent for so many years, the heat in the British newspapers has not come down, India can be called the British mainland at least a part of the flow of the newspaper code.

As for the scale of the troops, to the military power of Malaya, 20,000 landing forces of the right size, as for the Royal Pacific Fleet can not be counted, the Royal Navy also has its own mission.

“London has not made the latest instructions, the Far East Joint Warfare Command should not act rashly. There might be great surprises, and the specifics are to be left to native judgment.” Allen Wilson whispered command, the treatment of the direct line of people can be seen, Alisa is undoubtedly the supreme authority of their own civil engineering department, which understands this point understand.

Vivien Lei’s side is still working overtime editing, about the atrocities of the Pakistani government forces, asking when the men of equal status with their husbands will be released, the answer is, “General reserve, not moving.”

Putting it out early creates fatigue, one has to find that point, Alan Wilson felt it would be appropriate after July at least, the Indians would calculate when the Himalayas were closed, wouldn’t Britain? There were still British military bases in Nepal now, and Britain was no stranger to the local climate than any other country.

Alan Wilson side-stepped, with an untraceable tone, informed Whitehall of the size of the establishment of two funds, each of which exceeded more than ten billion pounds.

“I can only draw even with one fund, if the other foundation is also counted, it might be necessary to add up all the overseas assets of the entire aristocracy to make it work.” Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband, “Not counting the estate, most of the friends are now happy with the current situation and are not prepared to sell their assets.”

“Look at you talking as if I want you to sell your assets to fill a hole in the country. Isn’t it just for you to tie up the emirs in the Middle East with food wages, and take words to point me out when there’s something wrong.” Alan Wilson’s temper came up in a flash, straight to the family law, and he was just about to put his hand through the richest woman’s collar to the familiar heights, when he was stopped by the voice of his eldest daughter from upstairs.

“Father, can’t you keep baby crocodiles in Malaya on home soil?” With the sound of footsteps, Pamela’s figure appeared in front of the couple, “I should have no problem raising some, right?”

“Don’t you know that the alien species prevention clause was drafted by your father?” Alan Wilson clasped his hands on his hips and said to his daughter in a serious manner, “But the Yankee crocodile isn’t considered an exotic and dangerous species, and it’s no problem to beat up a chicken. The danger will not be more than a pet dog, and the next one will not be an example to know.”

“Native is too much control, I have a Caspian tiger in Western Australia, the local is not so serious.” Pamela obviously did not appreciate her father’s extrajudicial leniency, muttering her dissatisfaction.

Alan Wilson skimmed his head and looked at Pamela Mountbatten with an unkind gaze, “Raising tigers? I remember the last time we had to raise killer whales and hire the Japanese to capture them for months. There was also a seawall filled in specifically on the Perth coast, why don’t you care? How can you be a mother?”

“Father, it’s all for the good of society. Exploring the harmony of man and nature.” Pamela took on the tone of a Whitehall official, “Australia’s ecology is fragile and the locals are interested in the idea of rebuilding the ecological chain.”

“A bunch of exiled convicts’ descendants who have to pretend to be pillars of society based on their resources.” Alan Wilson bristled, “And rebuild the ecological chain, I wonder how many government grants have been cheated.”

But it’s no wonder that Australia is sitting on a mining truck laughing at the wind and clouds, originally started after Japan developed, but this world Australian iron ore was discovered early, Pamela Mountbatten is to use the iron ore as bait for a big move to bring British capital to Australia, plus after Malaya was defined as a production base, it drove Australia up as well.

Australia’s per capita income, in the current world, second only to the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, but also more than the European countries such as France and Germany, more than twice the Asian benchmark of Japan and Malaya.

There is this capital natural self-consciousness, it is possible that now Australians think that the world, in addition to the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, is his Australia’s world.

Indira Gandhi finally arrived in London, the last stop of this European tour, and both Britain and India created a momentum for Indira Gandhi’s visit, as if this visit would be a new chapter for both countries.

“Prime Minister, about the establishment of two foundations to regulate British foreign investment.” Seeing that Indira Gandhi’s special airplane had begun to land, Alan Wilson began to compare and contrast in front of the prime minister.

“Come out with a draft first.” Harold Wilson stared at the special airplane without looking back and instructed without looking back, “Just have Callahan care about it.”

“Prime Minister, I understand.” Alan Wilson acquiesced that the prime minister had already read the draft, and now he was just waiting for the finance minister to nod. Since the Prime Minister had already read it, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had no reason to object, and the supreme authority skipped over the Prime Minister’s first sentence and replied to the latter.

The major newspapers, with their reports of the Indian Prime Minister’s plea for support from Harold Wilson, became the dominant attitude on this Indira Gandhi visit.

“India!” Alan Wilson threw the newspaper aside in disbelief and asked the Under-Secretary-General about the running of the fund, “It’s not a good idea to invest in India, and I need to know about similar ideas.”

“Actually, with the relationship between Britain and India, and the perspective that this country is still a Commonwealth country, we deliberately avoided India didn’t we?” Burke Trench couldn’t understand why Alan Wilson would India had been evasive.

“I was an official in British India before and I am too vocal about this country. Adopting a policy of import substitution is a dead end.” Alan Wilson tone full of certainty, there is no doubt about it.

Late-stage countries generally choose two development routes, import substitution and export-oriented, import substitution is to control some of the country’s basic needs in their own hands, do not be occupied by foreign products. Export-oriented is simple, from the lowest level of handicrafts to start, first of all the steps of the sweatshop step by step.

Obviously most countries will choose the import substitution option, and only a few countries will start from scratch and go through all the stages of the sweatshop. However, the countries that chose the former all failed, and the export-oriented countries at least succeeded a few times, though by a margin of zero to one percent.

India is not only the former, but has also developed a very harsh foreign entry regime by using history as a mirror through the history of destruction of Indian industry by British industry. Even if you get in, it’s not easy to get out.

Investing in India was definitely not a good idea, and investing in post-independence Bangladesh was all the more likely to be profitable than investing in India.

Of course Alan Wilson was OK with India, giving advice in a conversation with Indira Gandhi, “They are in a critical period of returning to the UN, it is not very likely that they will send troops to help Pakistan, and joining in a war might create a contrast in attitudes between the countries.”

Britain definitely chose India between India and Pakistan, and Harold Wilson then informed the Cabinet Secretary’s advice in the middle of his conversation with Indira Gandhi.

However, when Indira Gandhi inquired as to what attitude the United States would take, Harold Wilson expressed his reservations and said that Britain could not give India help in matters involving the United States.

Before Indira Gandhi ended her visit, India’s Chief of General Staff, Sam Manekshaw, issued a mobilization order for a “state of emergency”: all army personnel’s leave was cancelled and they were to return to work immediately; civilian vehicles were requisitioned for the urgent delivery of munitions and all kinds of military supplies; the residents of India’s borders with West Pakistan were to be relocated; and the measures for civil defense in the cities were to be strengthened. measures, etc.

Britain at least expressed a conciliatory attitude of not taking a position, the biggest problem now was the U.S. Back in New Delhi Indira Gandhi called Foreign Minister Singh over, “Only the Soviet Union has this power to keep the U.S. from moving, and both of Pakistan’s supporters, the Soviet Union, have the ability to hold back.”

Indira Gandhi’s meaning is clear, first put down what non-alignment, the current situation of the Soviet-Indian alliance in order to ensure that India’s military operations are not interfered with.
