Chapter 18: Asses Determine Heads

So that’s why he was called, Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and whispered, “I’m just delivering a document.”

“Am I good at deceiving?” Not seeing Allen Wilson’s approving gaze, Mountbatten said smugly, “If you weren’t harboring thoughts, why did you spend an afternoon at my villa and specifically go when no one else was there?”

You deserved to be blown up by the Irish! Alan Wilson almost blurted it out, the words coming out of his mouth as he explained, “I didn’t know the Commander-in-Chief was there either, and even less so as to where Her Ladyship had gone, but I just happened to see Pamela.”

“At that time, my assistant was very busy not in the Governor’s residence, it was me who asked Allen to send over.” At the critical moment, it was still the historical and cultural connoisseur Sir Barron who spoke up, “Alan’s age is not great, so he did things with special care, and seeing you not at the villa he waited for you to come back, which is also very normal.”

“Very sensible, but back to it!” Mountbatten glanced at Allen Wilson and said, “It’s only twenty-one years old on the file, and already being the Commissioner of Hyderabad is considered very rare.”

Born with a golden key, Mountbatten didn’t have any special emotions, it was just a simple sigh of relief, and immediately forgot about it, and began to ask about the Yalta Conference again, and finally said, “Judging from the current progress, the war in Europe should be over earlier than the Asian side.”

“So we should recover as many colonies as possible as soon as possible, so that we can show the authority of the British Empire in front of the countries of the world.” Governor Weevil said as he thought, “The war in Burma will have the full support of British India.”

Allen Wilson did not listen to these words, he is now to quickly return to Hyderabad, Junagadh Tuktuk commissioners have left New Delhi, plotting in the middle of the Tuktuk Union is the real serious business.

“Oh Alan, when are you planning to go back?” Sir Barron inquired as if he had just remembered.

“Sir Barron, I can’t wait to get into the swing of things.” Alan Wilson looked like he was rubbing his hands together, this office was really not for him, like an outsider listening to the big man feel good about himself.

“Indeed you are needed there in Hyderabad as well.” Sir Barron nodded his head in gesture, knowing that Alan Wilson had spent enough time in this office to give Alan Wilson the steps to leave.

Before he left the office, he could hear Mountbatten rambling, “My daughter is still a little too young for her age.”

“The narcissist.” After closing the door behind him, Allen Wilson’s mouth twitched as he walked out of the Viceroy’s residence with his hands in his pockets.

The first problem in front of the current British India is the upcoming Mandalay Battle, which is also the most immediate concern of Mountbatten, as the commander of the Southeast Asia Theater of Operations, the recovery of Burma’s great merit, he did not want to fall into the hands of others, glory all to himself.

To this end, Mountbatten adjusted the command of the British Indian Army Corps, General Giffard was dismissed by Mountbatten, replaced by Lieutenant General Lees. This Lees is also a famous general with outstanding achievements, in North Africa and Italy, he was the commander of the 30th Army of Montgomery’s Eighth Army Group, and after Montgomery left Italy, Lees was the one who then became the commander of the Eighth Army Group. He was accompanied by General Slim, who commanded the Battle of Imphal.

Slim also had his own unique ideas for the Dry Season Offensive. Previously, he had had only one notable victory, Imphal, and because of the nature of the defensive fighting at the Battle of Imphal, he was viewed more or less by London as a cautious and steady commander. In fact Slim’s strategic objective had always been one: to strike at the main body of the Japanese field forces without caring about land and famous towns to be gained or lost.

Adjusting the relationship between the British Expeditionary Force coming from the North African theater, and the local British forces, was Mountbatten’s biggest worry at the moment, and was even more taxing than protecting his daughter.

The projected Battle of Mandalay, the British and Indian Army Corps opponent is the main force of the Japanese Burma Front, the Japanese Fifteenth Army. Logistical supply and deployment, has been supported by British India up and down, now is the time to snowball.

Just in this mountain rain in the atmosphere, the tireless Hyderabad commissioner, left New Delhi, a few days later has reached the city of Hyderabad, the nasal cavity is again filled with the familiar flavor of India, see the untouchables all over the place, the ascetics, Allen Wilson is very pleased, happiness is not the contrast out of it?

First and their own assistants, talked about the spirit of the New Delhi meeting, followed by is to ask whether the recent situation in Hyderabad is smooth, “There was a riot, Ali Khan’s army has suppressed them, less than a thousand people died.”

“That’s not much either, no need to think it must have been a protest by the Hindus as well.” Alan Wilson asked with a knowing nod, “What was the reason?”

It is not that Alan Wilson is particularly ruthless, just that this itself is the daily life of British India, has been daily to the point that it is not too noteworthy, such a large place, which day does not die hundreds and thousands of people, how common a thing.

“It seems that the grassroots organization established by the Congress Party in Hyderabad, at a festival of some sort, has caused dissatisfaction among the Turkish state army, and the two sides have already clashed.” Alice reported along with Andy’s words, “We’ve reported it to New Delhi.”

“New Delhi is busy counterattacking Burma, don’t cause trouble for the busy Viceroyalty. It’s not a big deal in itself! Our job is to establish rapport with Ali Khan.” Alan Wilson frowned and said slowly, “Parades and armed fights and all that are the Indians’ own business, not ours.”

That being said, the fact that the Congress Party had established a grassroots presence in Hyderabad was something worth noting. In a nutshell, this is called rootedness at the grassroots level. I didn’t realize that the Congress party was quite strong in this day and age. Far from being the rotting mess it was in the latter days.

For Nehru he never underestimated, than later generations will only stir up the nation, using Hindu nationalism to shout slogans of the old fairy is much more powerful, “go to check the development of the congress party in the cities of South India, in the end in the place of these earth state how much energy, how do the Indians look at the congress party?”

Commanding his assistant to do the job, Alan Wilson went straight to the door, looking for Ali Khan to talk about it, to the honorable Maharaja encountered the unruly people rebel to give comfort, “In fact, the people are so irrational, think about it, the entire Hyderabad railroads, schools are all established by you, but they do not have the slightest gratitude, on the contrary, they always want to greedily ask for more.”

Exposing his ass problem as soon as he spoke, Allen Wilson, since the beginning of his arrival in this era, has quickly settled into the role of a colonizer, throwing the bullshit about everyone being equal out the window. Proving in action that it’s not that we hate the colonizers, it’s the colonizers who are hated not us.
