Chapter 206 – Unsolicited Favor
In front of the short and thin Ali Khan, Alan Wilson, who is also a middle-aged man, also seems to become handsome and dashing.
But this is the view of the mortal, just by virtue of Ali Khan unfathomable connotation and aura, it is worth all the people are high, since know Ali Khan is the world’s richest man, Fei Wenli now take another look at Ali Khan, this person, looks flat and a little bit of soil, but out of a broad, it seems so handsome, wearing a beggar suit like a real beggar.
“Back to the difficult years in Europe, if there is no help from the great ruler you, I can not imagine what kind of days I live.” Allen Wilson is still in the state of entering the theater, full of the face of the Shiweiweiwei died Road, “I almost every moment want to return to India, now finally is back.”
“It would be gratifying if Alan could not forget how he left.” Ali Khan’s somewhat thin face was full of seriousness, referring to the fact that a certain Hyderabad commissioner had rolled out of the subcontinent in disgrace in the first place.
“Of course, I’ve never forgotten it.” Alan Wilson replied solemnly, then said, “Maharaja, let’s go inside and talk, Alisa, arrange for Vivian’s accommodation.”
Allen Wilson and Ali Khan still had many things to say, and in the midst of their time in Europe, Allen Wilson was certainly unable to directly help this monarch of Hyderabad, but he also tried to help as much as he could within his ability.
Time has proved that Allen Wilson is a grateful person, and can even be said that Allen Wilson almost did not receive any benefits from Ali Khan, but only used Ali Khan’s money to help Ali Khan do things.
Ali Khan actually paid for the shipping costs, and Allen Wilson ran around and brought back enough armaments for Europe, where weapons were the least valuable, to make Ali Khan’s Hyderabad private army, directly rearmable.
The help mentioned is on the other hand, the dismantling of the Chennai Tobacco Factory, of course, was ordered by Sir Barron. But why did Sir Barron give the order, which was attributed to Ali Khan.
From this point of view, countless British civil servants should be grateful to this Hyderabad monarch for his gift.
Alan Wilson followed Ali Khan into the royal palace and made small talk in the middle of the palace’s back garden, describing his journey back to Europe in minute detail, only concealing some of the finer points, and telling the rest almost as it was.
“Things really have no room for maneuver?” Ali Khan sighed, “Is the British Empire really going to give up British India?”
“Not on the face of it, but in reality it will. The politicians look at the budget, unlike us civil servants who have a vested interest in British India, but we can’t fight the politicians’ decisions openly. All we can do at the moment is stall.” Alan Wilson said with a look of sincerity on his face, “Maharaja, I actually hate to say this, but out of the care you have taken of me, I have to poke holes in the fact that the British army is of course still far above the Indian soldiers, but there is no military money left for a military campaign.”
“All up and down New Delhi are doing their best to keep British India together, but there’s no telling when they won’t be able to. All that can be done at the moment is to give the Congress party something to worry about at some level and buy time for ourselves and also for the major land states.”
It was a cruel statement for Ali Khan, no doubt, but seeing the sincere look on Alan Wilson’s face, the Hyderabad monarch understood that the other party had done his best, and that in the final analysis, it was up to him to protect his own territory.
“No matter what, I will protect my territory.” Ali Khan said in a resolute tone, “No one can take away my territory, no one.”
“While I can’t change the worst decisions that may come out of London, it is possible to prepare for the worst outcome to come out.” Alan Wilson followed up with a statement, “I hope that when the worst outcome occurs, I can fight for the worst outcome not to occur by being prepared to face the worst outcome.”
With a look of dismay, Ali Khan listened to a political tongue-twister from Alan Wilson, “You remind me of the Hyderabad commissioner before your three terms of office, talking in such a borderline manner.”
“Who was he?” Alan Wilson was happy to hear it, how could anyone steal his place in the heart of the richest man in the world?
“The administrator of the United Provinces now, I think his name is Burke.” Ali Khan said this and shook his head, “But he well, take money and not do anything, so I’m not very appreciative of this person. You’re obviously much more reliable than any Hyderabad Commissioner when it comes to getting things done.”
“As a young civil servant, I can only face things with a good attitude.” Alan Wilson said with a tone of I’m a farmer’s boy, I should have been an early adopter, “I’m willing to treat anyone with sincerity, no matter to whom I am dealing with them.”
“You British civil servants, obviously, have more gumption than politicians.” Ali Khan smiled and said, “I speak the truth.”
It depended on how one looked at it, it wasn’t as if the British and American environments were incapable of producing very driven politicians, Alan Wilson could think of a few with his eyes closed, such as Reagan, Thatcher and King Know It All.
Must admit that the king is Allen Wilson memory of the most courageous politicians, if not by a black swan stirring, clean up the sleeping king is ten to nine things.
Politicians who are not afraid to take the blame are rare, but it’s the first time I’ve seen one who doesn’t care as much as King Know It All. If Allen Wilson is a white American, he must choose to understand the king as president.
After chatting for a while, Allen Wilson left Ali Khan’s palace on the grounds that he had just arrived in Hyderabad to rest.
In fact, to Hyderabad, Allen Wilson felt more free, think up the time is not long Hyderabad commissioner days, that time, although there is nothing important status, but can be at ease to fish for money.
But now have to worry about the future of British India, once India’s independence, if there is no colonizer to take care of the people of India, their rights and interests who will protect?
Allen Wilson in Hyderabad, freedom is also shown in the unobtrusive, the newspaper only know that Vivien Leigh opened the South India trip, but do not know where Vivien Leigh.
Vivien Leigh is in the beginning of Alan Wilson’s apartment in Hyderabad across the street, just arrived in Hyderabad, Vivien Leigh is still fresh, did not disturb Alan Wilson, every day to the draft of the Andaman Islands plan, rushed to Burma, Thailand and Malaya telegraph Assistant Commissioner of British India.
The liquidation, though a little late, is a good thing for a lot of places, because it inevitably creates something like the vacancies in ecological niches in biology, and when there are vacancies in ecological niches let there be people who have to fill them.
This is viewed as a controlled revolution, so war is not all bad, just as there was no mass extinction, and the more physically dominant mammals could not have done the same to the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs with the first-mover advantage were right there, and the more advanced mammals could only prostrate themselves at each other’s feet, because they had already stood their ground.
Don’t have to think Alan Wilson also know, along with the liquidation of the Japanese traitors, the real Japanese traitors may still be okay, but a lot of not so powerful Japanese traitors, may be inevitable to go to the Andaman Islands to go.
If they don’t want to go, then they have to pay, which he doesn’t have to teach, the local officials will naturally be uneducated.
In Burma, Thailand and Malaya, the liquidation of the Japanese traitors has already begun, and countless locals who were suspected of collaborating with the Japanese during the war are being knocked out of their homes by the rebuilt colonial government and are quickly disappearing from their families’ presence.
The most important among them was British Malaya, even if there was no idea of avenging the Chinese in his heart, considering the important position of British Malaya and the planned reserve position of British India, the future land of the civil servants, the liquidation of the Japanese traitors could not be left untouched this time.
A number of telegrams were sent to British Malaya, in which it was made clear that there should be no fear of amplification and the creation of wrongful convictions, and that the name of liquidation of the Japanese traitors was not to be opposed by anyone.
Not only should a heavy hand be laid on them, but the opportunity should be taken to remove some of the forces that posed a threat to colonial rule, whether they were Chinese or Malays, they were all included in the liquidation.
“Yamashita Bong-man’s direct troops, selected from the POW camps to build the Andaman Islands, we need a disciplined construction team to build the military bases in the Andaman Islands.”
Arriving in Hyderabad, Alan Wilson was finally able to hide from the others and think about how to split the Andaman Islands.
After waiting for two days, Vivien Lei finally couldn’t help but take the initiative to walk into Allen Wilson’s office, allowing this, who seemed to be extremely important in the current British India, a commissioner’s assistant to come out from the middle of his work state for the time being.
“Allen, I didn’t expect you to look like this when you’re working.” Fei Wenli wearing a set of British dress, very ladylike sitting in front of Alan Wilson, with a gentle smile, “British India’s civil servants are usually so busy?”
“That’s not true, during the war it was not as busy as it is now.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment, the civil servants of British India in peacetime are actually very idle, and busy has nothing to do with it.
But what time is it now? Now was the time to save for retirement, after this village there would be no such store, of course the civil servants were busier than during the war.
“I heard from Alisa that it was your suggestion to form the Anglo-Indian Film Actors Association.” Fei Wenli looked at Alan Wilson with bated breath and still stated her purpose, “I wonder how this matter is going now?”
Of course it was not yet done! Alan Wilson reached out and held his chin in a difficult manner, “Well, it’s still under consideration.”
“This is a good thing for Britain, it can subconsciously influence the perception of the Indians.” Vivienne beat around the bush and tried to express that the international movie queen wanted to make progress.
“Vivian, you see I’m particularly busy right now. Why don’t we wait until I’m free and we can talk alone.” Alan Wilson held a few letters of documents and raised them, helplessly saying, “This time period of mine now belongs to the British Empire.”
