Chapter 181 Disasters do not last for two consecutive years

Since the enactment of the revised Organic Act of the Government of India in 1935, the finances of the whole of British India have been preserved to a certain extent, that is to say, British India has gained a certain degree of autonomy.

The original British India had to hand over all its wealth to London, but since then, part of the wealth has remained in British India. Of course in times of war it was more special, and British India should not expect to still accumulate wealth.

But now that the war is over, British India’s finances are still OK, after all, this is the advantage of a low human rights area. Being able to overcome part of the objective economic laws.

Wealth moves people’s hearts, and now the complexity of the situation in the mainland, there is not yet a viable opinion on British India, looking to the end of the year, let these gentlemen keep the British India tax, the gentleman’s pressure is great.

On the one hand there was the uncertain future, and on the other hand there was the wealth which was so great for all.

This is very embarrassing, everyone can be as usual, only take their own needs of the part, after all, are for the whole British Empire, and can not be all the fish.

But now the future of British India can not be sure, painstakingly maintain the decency of the British Empire, there is the consequences of the final two people’s wealth, is it a long time or quickly cash, in the uncertain future, many people are inclined to the latter.

But Alan Wilson is still opposed to the idea of running away with a share of the money, which is a clear-cut crime.

In the straightforward but corruption, although everyone here is enough to shoot ten times, but that is, after all, within the scope of the license, a direct share of the accumulated wealth of British India, we have to consider emigration.

Alan Wilson showed that everyone still has to serve the empire, and to master the ways and means. While taking into account personal interests, must not fail to consider the British Empire.

Already returned from the mainland to study a little deeper, waving the Royal Bank of Scotland depository receipts Allen Wilson, did not show a superior, but only modestly said that there is a feasible way, that is, the big building

“Gentlemen, the opportunity to think of a way, there is no short time to make all the indicators are very good-looking, but unsustainable way. After all, if British India does become independent someday, what we would like to see, of course, is an independent India that is not as good as British India.”

Alan Wilson voiced his concerns, “No one wants to see a post-independence colony get better and better doesn’t he? If India develops very well after independence, doesn’t that prove that the gentlemen have governed India poorly?”

“Cement and steel are expendable, gold is not, and as for the rupee? It is still essentially a scrap of paper.” The Administrator of Bengal thought for a moment and said, “Our region, Bengal, is now divided into two parts, with two religions in the majority. The western part of Great Bengal is an important jute producer, and East Bengal is the center of the textile industry in British India, so our Bengal province of Assam, can only make construction on top of the transportation.”

Alan Wilson nodded with understanding, the greater Bengal region is the most important economic area of British India, Calcutta has long been the administrative center of British India, and is now also a heavy town, can not say that there is no development, but just can not catch up with the importance of Delhi has been overlooked.

The central city of the region, Calcutta, was established as the temporary capital of British India and has since grown to become the commercial center of all of India. The real fatal blow to Calcutta was the subsequent partition of India and Pakistan, after which Greater Bengal as a whole ceased to exist and was divided into two rival countries with different religions.

The jute-producing region and processing center became two countries, and Mountbatten said that once the Indo-Pakistani partition began, East Pakistan would become one of the largest slum kilns in the world.

But in reality where Bengalis live as the largest economy in the entire subcontinent is naturally unique, Pakistan after the Indo-Pakistani partition, West Pakistan was pretty much an import economy, where did the money come from? It is the East Pakistan is also later Bangladesh export foreign exchange earned back.

Because East Pakistan has been paying but can not leave the wealth, under the long-term unfairness, and ultimately caused the trigger for the implosion of Pakistan.

Bengal has always been the textile center of South Asia and an important source of jute. Alan Wilson asked the administrator of Bengal, “Dear Mr. Andrews, I would like to know the percentage of religious population in Greater Bengal.”

“There are more pacifists, but essentially the Bengalis are one people, only with a different religion.” The Administrator of Bengal replied, “That is a fact known to all.”

In fact, after half a year’s absence, there were some changes in British India, such as a change in the administrator of Bengal. There was still a part of the heads of the provinces that chose to leave British India after the war.

This time Allen Wilson came back and found at least five or six administrators had changed. Some had left British India, others had changed places and were not in their original provinces.

The question of the great building was not one that could be discussed in a short time; it must have been discussed for some time and then a mature plan worked out.

If this is in the mainland, Alan Wilson estimated a so-called mature plan introduced, without a year and a half is not able to argue the completion, but in British India, the many chief executives and commissioners of the fist, certainly not so long.

Although the reasoning is so, but today is certainly no result, on the contrary, involving the idea of agriculture is much simpler.

Sir Barron’s well-prepared, united and stable group of British Indian civil servants, decided to eat and talk, after all, talk about is the problem of all the people’s food, do not eat how to do it?

Agricultural issues, although not so complex, but involved in the issue of food, real gentleman to the time will only be more cautious.

In order to meet the local textile industry, intentionally in the beginning of spring, the promotion of cotton planting, is not all in favor of the voice, such as the Central Provinces of the Chief Executive has doubts about this, “Allen, in fact, this year’s food production in British India is not optimistic, although the drought does not last long, but because we have prioritized the supply of food to the mainland, and now the British Indian The storage everywhere is actually empty, if there is a food crisis if the climate is bad, there could be a famine, the Bengal famine has only been over for a few years, will it cause a backlash from the Indians?”

“Why should there be a backlash? Agriculture is all about the weather, the Indians don’t go blaming the weather, they don’t blame themselves for being lazy, they blame us?” Alan Wilson held a glass of wine and said in great confusion, “This is simply outrageous, in saying that so many grain silos are there, who says they are empty? It’s not like the Indians know that it’s just full, British India has enough food to get through any natural disaster.”

“Full?” Gerrit was baffled, where to begin? Just claiming it wouldn’t do, once there was a famine, when the time came, grain would surely be needed to balance food prices, what if you couldn’t get it?

“When that time really comes, just find a few people to burn down the storage, and say that the food has been deliberately sabotaged by some people. For example, anti-British elements who sympathize with the Indian National Army in their hearts. If you can’t, you can put it on the PML-N.” Alan Wilson said this secretly sighed this is really a good idea, pouring the whiskey in his hand into his mouth as a compliment to himself.

As for whether to push to the Indian National Army sympathizers or push to the PMLN, to be flexible to look at the problem, you can release the news at the same time, to the Hindus said that it was the PMLN who did it, to the elite said that it was the National Army sympathizers who did it.

Depending on the stance, different groups will naturally pick up the rhetoric they want to believe.

It wasn’t like it was a big deal, but Allen Wilson added, “Punjab don’t join in the cotton plantation program so that the granary is stabilized and people don’t have to worry.”

Gerrit also felt some sense when he heard it and nodded to himself, “That’s right, with common sense natural disasters don’t come two years in a row.”

“That makes sense, I also think so, there won’t be two consecutive disaster years. If it does occur, the Indians should do some introspection, why is their God Shiva punishing the Indians so much? It must be that the Indians’ faith is not strong.” Alan Wilson flirted with his colleagues around him with a smile on his face.

“Haha!” The administrators and commissioners around them laughed heartily, and the last supper tasted good.

Alan Wilson felt that he had considered the compromise as best as he could, and that was why with goodwill he had not allowed the Punjab, the breadbasket of British India, to join in.

This was already the biggest concession, and if there was indeed a tiny accident, it was all God’s responsibility, and natural disasters couldn’t have anything to do with himself, could they?

As for the Punjab grain, if it is necessary to export for foreign exchange, more and he personally have nothing to do. That is all London’s decision-making, British India’s civil servants are just an implementer.

Next year’s agricultural policy on this matter at the cocktail party so happily decided, planting cash crops, to find ways to let India’s farmers first rich, farmers rich, in order to better promote the development of British India.

From the point of view of profit, this kind of decision is not wrong in the least, as long as there is no natural disaster will not be a problem.

Returning to the first civil service reception in British India, Alan Wilson was welcomed by many of his colleagues, and with the beginning of the bingo, all of them sent out smiles from the bottom of their hearts.

More than that, it took the time of a reception to finalize next year’s agricultural policy for British India, which can be said to reflect excellent efficiency, and if the word got out to London, it would surely put the native corpses’ colleagues to shame.

Agricultural program is just an appetizer, there is little oil industry, the big building is the civil servants are most concerned about things.
