Chapter 205: Everything Under Control

“Good, New Delhi is nice, but it’s ultimately a bit boring. Miss Alisa, can I ask how things are going with the Anglo-Indian Film Actors Association.” Hearing the news that she could finally leave New Delhi, Vivien Lei was first delighted but immediately expressed her quest for progress.

Alisa’s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness as she said, “Miss Vivian, we have to follow the procedures, I hope you can understand, the matter of the Anglo-Indian Film Actors’ Association is under study by the Governor General’s Office, and Assistant Allen will follow up on this matter.”

“I had thought it would be right away.” Inevitably, Vivienne was disappointed in her mind and displeased with the bureaucratic procrastination.

“The more you invest, the more you save, the more you waste, the more frugal you are, the more you delay, the more efficient you are, and that’s real government.” Alisa gave Vivienne a meaningful look and said, “Miss Vivienne, please take your time and wait.”

In the middle of the Viceroy’s residence in India, Alan Wilson, here in Sir Barron’s place, mentioned the matter of the Maharaja of Kashmir, Hari Singh, who wished to talk to the Viceroy’s residence, “Honorable Sir, as the Congress Party shows more and more ambitions for the whole of British India, many of the princes and maharajas of the native states are very worried about it, as evidenced by the performance of Hari Singh. ”

“I would like to help them, but Nehru’s home state is Kashmir.” Sir Barron said with difficulty, “You know about this, don’t you?”

Seeing Alan Wilson nodding, Sir Barron added, “And Kashmir itself is very complicated, with the pacifist religion dominating and being susceptible to support from nearby pacifists, it’s not that we’re not willing to give the Tuktuks a good deal, it’s just that we need to avoid the military spending. We can’t open another war just after we’ve fought in the World War, and there’s no doubt that even if the British Empire doesn’t excel with land forces, it would be easy to win a few battles in British India, I’ve never had any doubts about that.”

“The thing I so doubt is where the military money is going to come from, the mainland still needs British India’s support, let alone investing in the military to start a war. So we can’t afford to piss off the Congress Party, even if I’m willing to give moral support to the major native states, except to help.”

A good one, apart from helping, Alan Wilson mused, “I would like to meet the princes of the various Turkish states in Hyderabad, in secret, to discuss the status of the Turkish states in the future, this should be possible. If possible, I would like to suggest to the Maharajahs, including Ali Khan and Salaman Khan, to transfer a part of their wealth to London.”

Sir Barron was not in denial, but as soon as he heard that he wished the wealth of these maharajahs to be transferred to London, he could not say anything in question, but could only say, “Be careful not to let Nehru know.”

“That’s why I’m going to have Lady Vivienne go with me, so that public opinion is focused on her and no one will notice what I do.” Alan Wilson said with a moralistic face, “Ms. Vivien Leigh is full of patriotism and shouldn’t refuse.”

“Her fans at home would probably be furious if they knew they were being used as toolmen when they got to British India.” Sir Barron laughed and said, “Actually, there is still a lot going on, a representative of the Rana family is coming to New Delhi.”

“The Kingdom of Nepal? I guess the purpose is also to inquire about the future of the subcontinent.” Alan Wilson was a bit surprised and smiled bitterly, “It seems that all the forces in the entire subcontinent are restless right now.”

In 1846, the Rana family seized the military and political power of Nepal with the support of the British, and began the rule of hereditary chancellors, and any ruler of a hereditary system is only concerned with two things, increasing taxes and maintaining social order.

The former to enrich themselves and the latter in order to consolidate their rule.

The role of the Kingdom of Nepal after that was much the same as Hyderabad’s relationship with the British Empire, volunteering to make a furtive offer to the British East India Company, willing to make sacrifices to help the British in their fight against the Sikhs; and sending troops to help the British to suppress the great uprising of the Indian people against the British.

In the First World War, the Rana family sent Nepalese troops to Europe to fight for the British, and also sent 2,000 men to help the British fight against King Amanullah of Afghanistan.

This is not to say that they are imperialist lackeys. If they treat the Chinese in this way, the Chinese will surely say that Sino-Nepalese relations have a long history and have always maintained friendly relations. Those who say that the Kingdom of Nepal is a lackey are simply because this lackey is not his.

Sir Barron to talk to the representative of the Kingdom of Nepal, but also includes the treatment of Nepalese soldiers, Nepalese soldiers in the middle of the war left a deep impression on the British, the British army among the Nepalese troops are present.

Than large enough to support the scale of the Indian army, but also want to get help in the strain of the United Kingdom, naturally thought of this very cost-effective choice.

Even the war in the Isle of Man saw the British Gurkha battalion enter the war. Sir Barron’s representation in New Delhi and the Rana family also had the effect of giving cover to Alan Wilson’s trip to Hyderabad.

Allen Wilson took Vivien Leigh, who wanted to enjoy South India, on her way, while at the same time the representatives of fifteen powerful native states, including Kashmir, departed for Hyderabad, the seat of the most powerful native state in British India, at the notice of the local commissioner.

“South Indians North India are not quite the same, except for the same religion, different in appearance and language, South Indians are closer to Africans in appearance.” On the train, Alisa introduced the basic situation of South India to Fei Wenli, “British India soil state drama in two places, one is the northwest in addition to the Ganges River Basin place, the other is the Deccan Plateau, the northwestern soil state is numerous, but the powerful soil state is not much. Hyderabad is the most powerful Tupa in British India and the Maharaja is on good terms with us.”

“I am still Commissioner of Hyderabad!” Alan Wilson raised his head and interjected, then lowered his head and continued flipping through the materials, “I really quite miss Maharaja Ali Khan, he helped me a lot when I returned to Europe. Being a man should know how to repay, what did Andy say in the telegram?”

“Andy said that Maharaja Ali Khan has been looking forward to the day of reunion with you for a long time, and that Hyderabad has recently received a very impressive group of German instructors.” Alice replied in a rapid-fire tone, “The Maharaja knows that this is all because of your liaison from it.”

“The Germans do have experience with Pacifists.” The rest Alan Wilson didn’t say out of political incorrectness, hoping that the Maharajah of Ali Khan’s private army, had even the combat power of the Holy Sword Division.

While Allen Wilson was still walking the line, at the Viceroy’s residence in New Delhi, the Nepalese emissary had met Sir Barron, “Honorable Sir Barron, the status quo is developing in a jittery manner, the Chancellor has been defending the interests of the British Empire for a hundred years but now has to be concerned about the current situation.”

“The British Empire has always been able to appreciate the Chancellor’s goodwill.” After Sir Barron nodded his head and said, he directly began a long speech, “In fact, the Chancellor may have misunderstood something, the news released by the Congress Party so far can only represent the Congress Party itself, not even the PML-N, so how can it represent the Viceroyalty of British India?”

“It may be slightly embarrassing that the Chancellor should be so alarmed by the remarks of a civil party.”

“Actually, the British Empire has never said it is leaving British India, and even if it is leaving, it has not said it is leaving altogether. And even if it did leave, who’s to say it couldn’t make a comeback? If British India is in the midst of chaos, Britain has that responsibility to come back.”

In order to fool the Nepalese emissaries, Sir Barron, in good conscience, picked up a section of the country’s parliamentarians, which he himself never dismissed as farting about the comeback theory.

How do you make a comeback once you leave? How to make a comeback, when the MPs do not know what profession before the MPs, take for granted that it is very easy, Sir Barron can only be reported to look at with contempt.

But now, he also had to talk about the comeback theory, but also in front of the Nepalese emissary to make a look like everything is under control, to steal the drama of the Changgong.

In the Viceroy’s residence, Sir Barron talked about how the situation in British India was under control, and that Nepal’s worries were completely unnecessary, and that the British Empire was still strong and could provide firm support to Nepal no matter where it was.

“It’s so nostalgic.” Hyderabad train station, back to his hometown Alan Wilson got off the train, but also jumped up and stomped hard two feet feeling wistful, “This is the place where the dream began.”

A few moments later, Andy brought a few Tupang soldiers to the station, and immediately saw Allen Wilson …… beside Fei Wenli, the halo of the big star, instantly let the loyal subordinates feel that the boss is not important, a pair of eyes how can not move.

“Andy, Miss Fei Wenli’s trip to South India was reported by the Governor General’s Office.” Alisa took a look at her colleague’s performance like this and opened her mouth without panic and asked, “The Maharajah is still waiting, take us there.”

“Okay okay.” Andy couldn’t help but look at the big star two more times again, wondering in his heart what the other party was doing in Hyderabad.

Hyderabad is still the same as before, Ali Khan’s royal palace is also hard to see what is different, just arrived at Ali Khan’s royal palace, the dry and skinny Ali Khan rushed out with excitement, with a smile to give Alan Wilson a hug, “Our commissioner has come back, it’s really been a long time since we have seen you, you, the commissioner of Hyderabad, are not doing your job well oh? ”

“Honorable Maharaja, no matter where, Allen is willing to contribute to Hyderabad.” Allen Wilson reported the same brazen bragging, the two of them looked like they hated each other.

This? Vivienne looked at the shocking scene in front of her and didn’t know what to say, Alisha covered her mouth and softly explained that it was nothing more than Ali Khan being the richest man in the world at one time.
