Chapter 16 Are You Teaching Me Things?

Considering that the counter-offensive against Burma was currently in progress, Allen Wilson didn’t find it much of a hardship to deliver a document.

Upon arriving at the commanding officer’s headquarters, he realized how wrong he was, Mountbatten was not there. Allen Wilson also had no idea what the contents of the document bag were, and out of an abundance of caution, took a car directly to Mountbatten’s residence in New Delhi.

A Southeast Asian theater commander was not in the command, if it was someone else Allen Wilson might feel dereliction of duty, but this person was Mountbatten, he had a feeling that he deserved it, who let people really have a deep background and not do their job.

Whether or not the victory in the Battle of Imphal had anything to do with this Southeast Asian theater commander was a well-known fact in British India, and Allen Wilson did not feel surprised.

Going to Mountbatten’s residence, also went through a strict guard interrogation, after all, Mountbatten’s status can afford this kind of protection. In the middle of the guard’s interrogation, Allen Wilson suddenly remembered, as if Mountbatten in the end, is assassinated.

Think about the advantages of Mountbatten, for a moment he could not think of, have to be more serious, may be a lifetime of anti-Japanese counting a line.

Away from the look, Mountbatten’s villa is first reflected in the eyes of the imposing gate, white wood fence, pointed reddish-brown roof, the following is a manicured lawn, it is difficult to imagine that such a mansion, is in New Delhi.

Even this future capital of India, the old city of Delhi is full of beggars, the air is filled with the smell of Indian characteristics, and the British residential area of New Delhi is like two people.

Alan Wilson stood in front of the door of the villa, coughed softly, fixed his mind to knock on the door, after a period of time, just when he thought that there is no one inside, he can return home, back to Hyderabad, the door opened.

A girl opened the door and looked at the uninvited guest in front of her, and spoke with a kind of vigilance among her eyes, “Who are you, what are you doing here, and do you know what this place is?”

“Huh?” Allen Wilson was confused by this three questions in a row, holding the file bag of the left hand does not move, the right hand also maintains the posture of knocking on the door, taking into account such a large villa there must be servants and other configurations, Allen Wilson eyes narrowed to scare, “a girl no one taught you to be polite? I’m here to deliver classified documents to Commander Mountbatten, I must give them to him in person, so hurry up and go play on the side.”

A hard shake of the Hyderabad Commissioner’s authority surprised the little girl in front of him, and defiantly asked back, “Do you know if you know who I am?”

“You obviously underage girl, don’t disturb my work. I don’t have time to fool around with you!” Alan Wilson coped helplessly, reaching out to swing the little girl aside, surveying the villa’s furnishings, turning back as if remembering something, “Which room is Commander Mountbatten’s.”

“My father isn’t here and I don’t know where he is?” Pamela Mountbatten puffed out her cheeks and said, “I’m not some servant, my name is Pamela Mountbatten and the person you’re looking for is my father.”

At the critical moment when the ass just didn’t sit hot in the commissioner’s position, there was already a crisis of dismissal, Allen Wilson didn’t even have time to consider Pamela Mountbatten’s identity, and said to himself, “It’s too bad, it’s the governor’s office that asked me to send the documents, is your mother there?”

An interruption surprisingly succeeded in getting through, Pamela Mountbatten shook her head in embarrassment, “My mother is not here either, I am the only one amongst this villa at the moment.”

“New Delhi is safe enough, but a little caution is not too much to ask.” Suppressing the vigorous beating heart, it is not that Alan Wilson felt love coming, but only after realizing who this little girl is, the face pretends to be relaxed, “You have to know that now is a time of war, you are a girl at home should ensure their own safety, do not think that the war is far away from New Delhi, even in British India, the Congress Party and the PML-N supporters also often break out in feuds, more serious than you can even think of.”

Alan Wilson scared Mountbatten’s daughter, the words are naturally half-true, mainly through deliberate concern, let the other party again after her father’s return do not talk nonsense. This is not trivial, although the United Kingdom has long since entered the stage of constitutional monarchy, members of the royal family should not be dictated to civil servants, but also depends on who is divided.

Mountbatten is a calling card of the British Empire’s royal family now, and Allen Wilson is guilty of not attracting the attention of the other side.

A few words successfully diverted Pamela Mountbatten’s attention, Allen Wilson’s old-fashioned way of letting the other party should be wary of the danger, but drew Pamela Mountbatten’s skeptical gaze, “Your age doesn’t seem to be like a senior civil servant.”

“Uh, I’m just young looking, I went to college six years ago.” Alan Wilson thought back in time, yes, it was in nineteen thirty-nine that he completed his pre-university course. Then there was the blitzkrieg on Poland and coming East in a series of events.

“You’re too young then, I don’t think you’re even twenty.” Pamela Mountbatten’s awe of disbelief was successfully carried away by Alan Wilson’s use of words.

Ellen only divulged the years before she went to college and didn’t say her age, and as for the age that Pamela Mountbatten guessed out, it could be said that she made it up in her own head.

Allen Wilson stayed, not with any designs on Mountbatten’s daughter, but just out of risk, not to leave the documents unaccounted for, relying on a rather deceptive look of loyalty and honesty, Pamela Mountbatten agreed.

Looking not much older than herself, but already a civil servant of no lesser status, Pamela Mountbatten was also quite curious. With her father and mother unable to be with her every day, it was good to have someone to talk to.

“My mother is surrounded by a group of native Indian noblewomen, and my father is even busier not always coming back.” Pamela Mountbatten said somewhat haughtily, “But it would be fine if they were really busy with business, but it seems like that’s not the case. Tell you what, give me the papers and I’ll pass them on to father when he returns.”

Reaching out and lifting his wrist, Allen Wilson looked at the time, obviously not much interest in Pamela Mountbatten this noble second generation, he is now most interested in promotion, in addition to everything can be discarded, and is not Elizabeth Taylor that kind of stunning beauty, but since Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative to speak, he will also have a hitch to respond.

“It’s rare, are you teaching me things? What you see at your age is superficial, these Indians are approaching your parents with a purpose because it represents a path to success.” Alan Wilson straightened his lapels and cocked his head calmly, “Once the day comes when we have no authority, these Indians, who breed like cockroaches, will be something else. If it were my word’s, I wouldn’t befriend people from all walks of life in India, even if the other person might be some kind of Brahmin.”
