Chapter 193 Cabinet Mission

“I laugh at that the United States is tactless and the Soviet Union is less wise!” British India has a market and demand, the German British-occupied area has an industrial base, the British mainland has an industrial base and pricing power, and even the United Kingdom can be said to have money, the British and American capital is supposed to circulate with each other, just as a country to speak, the United Kingdom is now owed a lot of foreign debt, it does not mean that the British business is poor.

British India was the opposite, folk were piss poor, but British India’s finances weren’t too bad.

Regardless of the final outcome, the post-war British Empire’s moves to break free from the quagmire had already begun with the first step.

Since the announcement of the Great Building Program, almost every day in the British Indian newspapers was good news, which was the opposite of the image of British India in the newspapers of the British mainland.

The newspapers of British India were quite complimentary about the big building project, while the newspapers of the British mainland emphasized on the fact that, even at this point of time, Britain was still looking after these beggars, who did not even know that they were alive, with a benevolent heart.

In the eyes of the citizens of the British mainland, this big building program Britain is at a loss, are losing money to ride the bus.

Changes did not only occur in British India, but equally in British Malaya, and even throughout Southeast Asia.

In the final analysis, Southeast Asia is certainly not a small interest, but compared to the continent, is undoubtedly some marginal corners, the new section of the world’s hegemony, the United States of America, is struggling to mediate things in East Asia, and these marginal corners and a nearly 10 million square kilometers of the big country, compared to the chicken ribs.

The big head of the United States of America is ready to take, naturally can not care about the two overbearing British and French hegemony, in some nooks and crannies of the toss, and so on to do the right thing, and then deal with the two hugging the old imperialism is not too late.

The business must not be delayed, or that greedy polar bear right next to it might not be able to settle its lonely heart.

In Alan Wilson’s view, this is a rare respite, six hundred and eighty thousand surrendered soldiers of the Japanese Southern Army, is the best labor force, through the Malaya back to the news, accept the surrender of the British soldiers are equally surprised at the performance of the Japanese soldiers, simply and before the surrender of a different person.

Allen Wilson in the telegram to Malaya, also mentioned this performance, once the head man accepted the reality, the Japanese is as meek as Mianyang, now it is at the same time to start the construction of British Malaya’s plan, these free laborers do not use for nothing.

“The project should not be too much, I believe that hard-working Japanese soldiers, will be able to make up for the damage caused to the British colony, can be through the appointment of Chinese as administrators, checks and balances on the Japanese, to emphasize the war period, the Japanese army Chinese committed crimes.”

In fact, it is nothing more than the British version of the barbarians against the barbarians, this means a little historical precipitation of the country will use, nearly three hundred years, the British Empire not only used, but also used very well.

Alan Wilson in British India on the use of this trick, otherwise and the PML-N leader Ali Jinnah tea do.

In the telegram to London, Alan Wilson expressed optimism, wrote in the telegram, “If we also have nuclear weapons in Britain, we do not have to look at the face of the United States and the Soviet Union, but, unfortunately, now still have to accompany the smile, three hundred years of the British empire when have you ever suffered from this kind of anger?”

It seems that this is just the whining of a foreign worker, but it can be considered to represent a part of the opinion.

Even if no one noticed this kind of whining, it does not mean that London to the current situation let it go, no robbery and have a gun do not use are two completely different concepts, the war just ended the British Empire, has not been the United States of America’s heel of the psychological preparation.

Prime Minister Adderley almost in the economic revitalization plan has not formally begun, the British scientists back from the United States to convene, led the secret establishment of the British Atomic Energy Commission, in extremely difficult circumstances, restarted the alloy tube program, must let Britain master their own nuclear weapons.

It was at this time that the plan to drive the home front, along with the two wings of Germany and British India, was unfolding. It made Prime Minister Adderley’s determination to push forward the alloy tube program even stronger.

Monetary support is still the biggest bottleneck at present, and Aidley only hopes that the British mainland can end rationing as soon as possible.

This is also the goal of Allen Wilson’s work, after all, the native citizens, is not as strong as the Indians so much endurance.

The big event on British soil in January was actually about the first General Assembly of the United Nations, which was held in Central Hall, Westminster, London, England, and was attended by fifty-one nations.

The UN General Assembly passed its first resolution, with the main focus being: the peaceful use of atomic energy and the elimination of atomic weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. On January 17, the United Nations Security Council meets for the first time in London, England, and adopts its rules of procedure.

At the first UN General Assembly in London, atomic weapons occupied a large share of the discussion, while at the same time, the major powers participating in the UN General Assembly were secretly and unceasingly working to violate the resolution on weapons of mass destruction.

The British delegates at the UN General Assembly did not know that Prime Minister Adderley had personally led the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Soviet delegates who also spoke did not know that the USSR was concentrating on the development of nuclear bombs under the personal care of Interior Minister Beria, and that countries with different political structures and nothing in common were simultaneously working to break the US nuclear monopoly.

As for the agenda on the peaceful use of atomic energy, talk is talk, and a few scenes won’t shake the resolve of the two countries.

The first UN Secretary General, Trygve Halvdan Rye, a Norwegian politician from the Labor Party, came to office as a figure acceptable to all parties, on the one hand, Norway itself being part of the West, and on the other hand, Rye himself being from the Labor Party, sympathetic to the Soviet Revolution, and accepted by both Britain and the USSR.

With the support of Britain and no opposition from the US or the USSR, Trygve Halvdan Rye became the first Secretary-General of the United Nations.

However, not all of Rai’s tendencies were recognized by Britain, for the first Secretary-General of the United Nations was very much to the displeasure of the Netherlands for his inclination towards the Dutch East Indies.

On the British Indian side, the situation was much simpler, that is, the big construction, and at the same time from the official article of the impeccable new cultural movement has also been proposed, from the written article is no problem, all civilized and polite neutral words, it looks as if it is to do some persuasion work on the bad hygiene habits.

No one took this kind of written article seriously at all, this is because the Supreme Court of British India, only just started to promote the share belonging to the judicial officers, many investigations are still in progress, it is not yet the time to make a big fuss.

Alan Wilson also contacted the commissioners of British Ceylon and British Burma, in fact, generally, British Ceylon and British Burma are governed by British India, of course, this assumes that British India still exists.

Jurisprudentially British Ceylon has never had anything to do with British India, and British Burma, although it was incorporated into British India, has now long since seceded. It was able to be administered by what is now British India, but never by an independent India.

Alan Wilson and Donald Maclean contact, naturally, hope that the new cultural movement in India, to see if it can also be done in British Ceylon, after all, British Ceylon is not without Hindus.

Since the Hindu temples in British India had holy women, the Hindu temples in British Ceylon should have them too.

And it would also enlist the support of the Buddhists of Ceylon, now Ceylon later Sri Lanka, which actually has a very high status amongst Buddhists, and is historically the home base of Southern Buddhism.

Without the Sri Lankan presence, it’s likely that neither Burmese nor Thai Buddhism in Southeast Asia would have had a great deal of influence. This small country on the edge of the subcontinent had a huge role in the spread of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.

Hinduism and Buddhism have seen periods of hostility and coexistence throughout the history of the subcontinent. In the process of conversion from early Brahminism to Hinduism, Hinduism also absorbed many teachings from Buddhism, with the exception of the idea of equality.

It eventually resurfaced in the subcontinent, sidelining the once-dominant Buddhism from the subcontinent, and claiming that the Buddha was one of the incarnations of the god Shiva.

Granted that the Hindu sort of claim that Buddhism was just a form of Hinduism was never widely accepted by Buddhists in all countries, Alan Wilson still felt that it would be better for the two religions to make the distinction clear.

At this point in time someone needs to poke through the windowpaper, to save the independence of India, the Buddhists of other countries are confused. Then the attitude of Ceylon, the stronghold of Southern Buddhism, was crucial.

Britain had promised to respect the status of Buddhism when it turned Ceylon into British Ceylon. At present Ceylon was still a Buddhist majority, and Alan Wilson felt that this campaign to declare war on bad habits could be used to ostracize Ceylon from Hindu influence.

Alan Wilson, who was making intensive preparations for the new cultural movement, was called to his office by Sir Barron, who said that he could prepare for it first, but wait until the right time to implement it.

“Sir, why? Something has arisen.” Alan Wilson knew on hearing this that nothing would appear without a reason, could it be that Sir Barron was pressurized and the news leaked out?

“Our top man, Sir Pethick Lawrence, Secretary of State for India, with a Cabinet mission, has received orders from Prime Minister Alderley to come to British India on an inspection tour to ascertain the attitude toward British India. In the midst of this period of time, I myself believe that the stability of British India should be maintained as far as possible.”

Sir Barron said with a slight forehead, “The minister will certainly receive Nehru, Jinnah and those men, and it would make the minister very unhappy if your new cultural movement were to be implemented at this time.”

“When will they arrive?” Alan Wilson inquired with a thoughtful face.

“Next month!” Sir Barron lifted his wrist to glance at the time and gave his answer with a level look at Alan Wilson.
