Chapter 183 Christmas Dinner

Also on Edward Bridges’s desk was a note on this plan for a major construction program.

As things stood, treating British India as the lowest possible supplier of raw materials again would provide an extremely limited quick pull on the mainland.

The bottom line is that it will probably take a lot of time, and Allen Wilson wants the British mainland to recover in a year or two, or at least it should recover in the time before the formation of the historical NATO, so that the national strength of the recovery of the UK will have a much larger choice.

Whether it can even recover before the Soviet Union depends on how much oil the united British civil service community can squeeze out of British India.

In this Alan Wilson actually have some confidence, once the big construction of this kind of thing began, a short period of time, not only will not cause a drag on the country, but will cause increased demand leading to overheating of the economy.

In the long run will certainly step too big to pull the egg, but now what long-term planning, he did not believe that two or three years of time, the British India’s economic overheating will appear what problems.

As for British India after the independence of the problem, the responsibility that is naturally Nehru and Ali Jinnah’s, how the British in the time of the indicators climbing, into your own home, there is an economic crisis?

Independent South Asian local elites should reflect on this, rather than blame the air.

This multifaceted note naturally also appeared on Edward Bridges’ desk to avoid the possibility of an unfavorable response from the esteemed and professional Cabinet Secretary when advising the Prime Minister.

For the big building program of the Calcutta Industrial Estate, there was also the population ratio of the two major religions in the area, as well as a note explaining the distribution of the industrial estate, which also stated that “the prevailing view throughout the PMLN is never to live in a country with Hindus if British India succeeds in its independence.”

“Jinnah, how did it become like this after returning to British India?” Edward Bridges knew, of course, that among the voices for making British India independent, there was an overwhelming majority of opinion for retaining the subjectivity of British India.

That is to say, unlike the telegram, the Government in London was still of the opinion at the present time that it was most cost-effective to preserve British India undivided.

However, Edward Bridges has already known through various channels, the PML-N’s attitude towards British India, know that this is Ali Jinnah will never agree, then look at this Calcutta big construction plan, the Cabinet Secretary will be able to appreciate the good intentions of the ministry.

Putting the big building plan away, Edward Bridges had already begun to think about how to respond to Prime Minister Airdrie’s inquiry.

The Cabinet Secretary was of course thinking a little more about the linkage between German British Occupation and British India, which was also an aspect that Edward Bridges was considering.

One thing could be concluded, at least for the moment, that these civil servants up and down in British India had sensed that they could not continue to hold South Asia down and were contemplating a final frenzy.

Edward Bridges would have no objection to this if it were indeed impossible to retain British Empire rule over British India.

There was at least one obvious benefit, and that was that the independence of British India could not serve as a model for the other colonies.

If British India had a poor independent life, it might be possible to extinguish the voices of revolt in some colonies for a short time; after all, the lessons of the past were not far off.

New Delhi, the capital of British India, the annual Christmas dinner is in progress, the war is over, peace has come, all the participants of the Viceroy’s Christmas dinner are well-dressed, under the red lights, amidst the drunkenness, the abomination of capitalism and the poverty of the vast British India in stark contrast!

General Mountbatten, of course, attended the Christmas dinner, reluctantly bringing along Pamela Mountbatten, who had been clamoring to come.

And Pamela Mountbatten to the Viceroy’s residence, a moment without a shadow, the Viceroy’s residence inside Mountbatten to not worry about security, he knows where his daughter.

“Oops, where’s the question!” Outside the banquet hall, Pamela Mountbatten chased after the bad joke Allen Wilson, and finally gasped in embarrassment, “No, except for you, this bad guy, where is someone who has a heart for me.”

“That’s what I was going to ask, there’s always something to say, I wouldn’t dare stay inside, your father is there.” Alan Wilson just a momentary slip of the tongue flowery a question, but did not expect to really get the answer, tugging Pamela Mountbatten’s hand does not let go, “or here free, at least to avoid embarrassment.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about, I’m sixteen.” Pamela Mountbatten said with her chest puffed out in defiance.

Some words just can’t be listened to carefully, otherwise there will be ambiguity, Alan Wilson still maintains the basic gentlemanly demeanor, did not think too deeply, just said, “Your father is also for your own good, don’t make him angry.”

“Pretend what ah, just asked me that question, have this time do not think properly how to work.” A plain hand attacked and grabbed Allen Wilson’s ear and gently pulled, Pamela Mountbatten did not have the good sense to say.

“This is a slander, I came back after all the time do not think about work.” Allen Wilson doubly wronged, just today he also inquired about where the production line of British India’s banknote printing machine was, ready to follow the example of Chang Gong’s move, in British India made a mess, the United Kingdom must go away, to launch a quantitative easing policy beyond the times.

Remember that before the Battle of the Yangtze River, the banknote printing machines in the Nationalist Region were working overtime day and night, producing at almost full capacity, and the sixteen banknote printing production lines were drying up to smoke.

Alan Wilson believes that he would never want to make a joke comparable to Zimbabwe as Chang Gong did. Casually over-issuance of four or five times the rupee, increase the economic vitality of British India can be, otherwise it is too underhanded.

Of course if it was due to the emergence of natural disasters that caused the devaluation of the currency, then you couldn’t blame Alan Wilson.

“Really?” Pamela Mountbatten tilted her little head with an all I believe you expression and said, “Then why don’t you dare to go in.”

“You go in first, I’ll wait, it’s cool outside.” Alan Wilson from the heart of the road, “I’m absolutely not afraid of your father, completely worried about you difficult to do, you know ……”

“Know, I know very much.” Pamela Mountbatten blankly glanced at Allen Wilson, and returned to the hall with a bounce.

Allen Wilson let out a light breath as Andy came out from inside the hall, “Commissioner, Commissioner John is waiting for you.”

“Got it Andy, I hear you’re having a good time in Hyderabad.” Alan Wilson patted the visitor on the shoulder and gave encouragement, “But I have also heard that there seems to have been an incident that Maharaja Ali Khan helped quell for you. I don’t mean to accuse you guys, but it’s best to pay when you want a woman, don’t force it.”

Not even being willing to pay was a disgrace to the colonists, almost like the early Latin style of those who had just arrived in the Americas. It was very offensive, and now not only was it a disgrace, but it also buried the possibility of pursuing Alisa.

Think of Eliza’s natural red hair. Doesn’t that smell good when you’re driving? Losing out on the little things! Although Andy was unlikely to make Alisa fall in love, but at least there is a theoretical possibility, now even the theoretical possibility is gone.

In order to be subordinate in Hyderabad, also doubled as Hyderabad Commissioner Alan Wilson worried.

With a sigh Allen Wilson felt that the time is almost up, from the heart of the time has passed, they step into the middle of the hall, Junagadh Tupang Commissioner is still waiting inside.

The conversation with the commissioner of Tupang, naturally, has little to do with the big building program. After all, Tubang is British India indirect influence, no direct ruling body, naturally scavenging is not so easy to use.

Waiting for the commissioner of the Turkish state is not only John one, there is also the Mysore Turkish state commissioner Powell, the Mysore Turkish state is located in the southwestern part of the Indian subcontinent, with the present-day city of Mysore as the center of a kingdom, and the Portuguese Goa’s next to each other.

In 1799, the Kingdom of Mysore became an Indian state under the East India Company. It was the British and Hyderabad allied forces that attacked the Kingdom of Mysore in the first place, and Hyderabad had always been the British allies in South Asia, so that’s how Alan Wilson could not pull an Ali Khan.

After the defeat of Mysore, some of its territory was divided between the East India Company and Hyderabad. The rest of the territory was reorganized as the Mysore Turkish State.

This was a time and place where the initial hatred would not last until now, and as a quite powerful land state in British India, the Mysore land state, like the Hyderabad land state, was able to speak for itself, so why should it listen to Nehru?

“Oh, long time no see, Alan!” Seeing Alan Wilson approaching, the Junagadh Tuktuk Commissioner John Breton opened his arms and gave a warm embrace, saying with the mood of a long time reunion, “You have finally come back after most of the year, I remember you said when you left that you would come back again, and you really did what you said you would do.”

“The gratitude for the NCP makes me work hard to come back every now and then.” Alan Wilson said with a double entendre and a smile, and then placed his gaze on the nearby Mysore TUF Commissioner Powell and spoke, “You are Powell, honestly just heard about it, and you also happened to have something going on during the Hyderabad gathering before and didn’t show up, it’s such a shame.”

“Heard about you from John, you are even more energetic than I had imagined.” Powell opened his mouth smilingly, not saying that Alan Wilson was young in age, but had very energetic instead.

“I’m still the commissioner of Maharaja Ali Khan, in fact, the conversation between us can be a bit more free, to be honest we both serve the monarchs of Tubang and have a lot in common.” Alan Wilson said with a modest face, then took down three glasses of wine from a passing waiter’s tray and said, “Let’s take our time to talk.”
