Chapter 213 From Ceylon

This private assurance was confirmed, and likewise caused a burst of applause at the Viceroy’s House, when Pethick Lawrence, the Secretary of State for India, was at last able to complete his duties, and return to London with the Secretary of State for the Navy and the Secretary of State for Commerce.

Sir Barron’s applause was absolutely genuine, and nothing could have been more gratifying than the departure of the top man.

The happy life of the civil service in British India is based on the absence of the minister from the side.

The Cabinet Mission would next say that it had met sufficiently with all the forces in British India, and was now returning to London with the views of those parties.

But briefly happy, Sir Barron was not without a gloom in his heart, which was seen by Alan Wilson, who stepped aside to inquire if something had gone wrong.

“Alan, although this is a good thing, but it also proves that our good days are not long.” Sir Barron said, with a lingering look on his face, “and probably in no place like British India that can hold a hundred thousand civil servants working for the country.”

“Eh!” Alan Wilson did not know the interface, and he had to recognize Sir Barron’s view that there really was no such place as British India, except British Africa, which was nothing more than a series of amalgamations of British Africa.

“Alan, you know very well that government departments are bound to have some way of measuring their achievements. British companies measure achievement by their profits, or, more accurately, they measure failure by their losses. We don’t have profits, we don’t have losses, we measure our achievements by the number of employees and how much we have in our budget.”

There’s money in the budget too na, there’s no money on the mainland, so we’ll have to think of something from the colonies. Alan Wilson can only hope that the Japanese prisoners of war in Malaya, to play out the initiative, the first to look past the establishment of hardware facilities, with these hardware facilities, still afraid of not enough people?

Although the total population of British Malaya is now only five million or so, but the north of China, south of Indonesia, which is the lack of people? A little deregulation is a massive influx of immigrants.

The budget is really no way out, now the United States is really strong, and confirmed through the Breston Woods system.

But with the Breston Woods system, does not mean that the dollar can not be confronted, the dollar has this status, in the final analysis is bound to gold to have this value. That is, the Breston Woods system is also built on the value of gold.

This and the petrodollar is not the same thing, other currencies to the dollar exchange is gold, rather than that paper money.

In the Breston system, if an American travels to another country, the same exchange other countries’ currencies, go to the United Kingdom to exchange for pounds sterling, to France to exchange for francs, to Germany to exchange for marks.

Breston forest system, the United States is also to foreign exchange reserves, and far more than the petrodollar after the emergence of a symbolic proportion of the European countries, the currency of the currency, have monetary value.

Because these countries also use gold as a monetary credit, as readily exchangeable for gold.

Breston forest system, is to determine the status of the dollar’s world currency, but also in turn checks and balances the dollar.

Really let other countries’ currencies can not counterbalance the dollar, or petrodollar after the emergence of the dollar, completely turned the dollar into a harvesting tool, in the world constantly shearing sheep’s wool. But that was already in the seventies!

It also depends on whether or not the British Empire can recover, if not, it’s bullshit to say anything. Who says the British Empire can’t teach the Adversary a lesson if it can still retain a decent amount of strength?

Allen Wilson does not yet know that his mother-in-law’s family, has strolled in the German British-occupied areas, in accordance with the plan he gave Pamela Mountbatten, to the war German enterprises to plunge.

If Allen assistant knows, may be anxious never let the two dragoons and mother-in-law’s family meet.

But he was serious now, and the whole civil service of the Viceroy’s House lined up, serious on the outside and happy in the heart, to see the Cabinet mission out of New Delhi and back to the mainland, where the ministers were supposed to be.

Until the three cabinet ministers left the Governor’s residence, the people in a flurry of dispersal, began to busy themselves with their own things, people leave the tea cooler can be seen, but the ministers should not have anything to complain about, the performance has been given to them. With a large influx of money, Prime Minister Adderley wouldn’t blame them.

Now, everyone could put their hearts back into their stomachs and get down to business. The first business was the announcement of the news of the formation of the Anglo-Indian Film Actors’ Association.

The report pointed out that Indian cinema is still in its infancy, and there are still many things to learn from the international advanced experience, so under the democratic principle of openness, fairness and impartiality, British actress Vivien Leigh was chosen as the honorary president of the Anglo-Indian Film Actors Association.

There will be no president for a short period of time, and six vice presidents will be set up to deal with the affairs of the association, but they will have to go through the commissioner appointed by the Viceroy’s Office, that is, Alan Wilson himself, to prevent actors with dangerous ideas from mixing into them.

As the commissioner of the British Indian Film Actors Association, no one and Alan Wilson to grab this position, after all, the oil is very limited, now the British Indian civil servants, no time to think about what bullshit love story, they want to get money.

And civil servants don’t need fame, unlike ministers, the lower the presence of a civil servant the better, it’s a common norm all over the world, and becoming a commissioner of this civic association might increase exposure, which is to be avoided at all costs.

Vivienne, who was doing her Indian daughter persona in Chennai, confirmed the news from Alisa’s mouth, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, she had given her body for this result, but it wasn’t a loss, was it, that young man, Allen, was still quite motivated.

“Ms. Vivian, some time after that you will be asked to participate in the shooting of a documentary, perhaps you can’t leave India right now.” Alisa looked at the absent-minded Vivienne and said, “The film is supported by the Viceroyalty of India, to build up your glorious image in front of the people all over the world, this is what the assistant commissioner has specially explained.”

“I’m ready.” Vivienne held her head slightly high, indicating that she was just waiting for that day to come.

Whether or not she could transform from a famous actress to a famous female figure depended on this time. This was the reason why Vivien Leigh had traveled across the ocean to British India, and she had even opened her legs to a boy so that this dream could come true.

The other party, on the other hand, is handling the Clean India Campaign, which is of utmost concern to the Minister of Indian Affairs, “Counting the time, the Minister should have reached the Arabian Sea by now, so we may as well think about it and handle the matter of great concern to the judicial officers. Everyone is now rubbing their fists and jumping at the chance to bring fairness and justice to the earth.”

The Supreme Court of British India, Chief Justice Clarke, with an expression of compassion, but compelled to smoothen out the evils of the world, came to the Viceroy’s House to talk to Sir Barron about the importance of a clear rule of law.

“Get Allen over here.” Sir Barron picked up the phone and barked at the secretary in the communication room across the microphone.

After a while, Alan Wilson arrived in Sir Barron’s office and greeted Chief Justice Clarke, already having a premonition in his mind, of what was to come.

Clarke quickly confirmed Alan Wilson’s premonition that now that the ministers had left, it was time for everyone to do something serious, such as honoring the previous promise to include the judicial officers in the Last Supper.

“Doing it rashly will cause some backlash on Ken’s side.” Seeing Clark’s slightly changed face, Alan Wilson immediately changed his words and said, “Judge Clark, I’m just trying to improve the success rate. I’ve thought of a place where we can do it more logically, shirk our responsibility, and divert the conflict at the same time.”

“What place?” Clark inquired patiently, thinking that these dastardly administration officials had changed their minds and were ready to leave the judicial officials alone to eat their words.

“British Ceylon, where Commissioner Maclean is, seventy percent of the population of British Ceylon is Buddhist, so as not to offend the majority of the Hindus, and things are completely under control, once the sordid facts about the Hindu temples are revealed. Once the dirty facts of the Hindu temples are revealed. If a controversy arises, we will take action in British India in the right direction, so that even the Congress Party cannot find trouble with us openly. This way we maintain justice and avoid trouble at the same time.”

“The most important thing is that the risks are all British Ceylon’s, even if the Indians want to throw an evil fit. There’s nothing we can do about it.” Sir Barron added, “If there is hostility towards Ceylon because of this, that would be great, Ceylon needs the protection of the British Empire. The location of British Ceylon can be seen as an excellent place to monitor the entire Indian Ocean.”

Clark nodded after a moment’s thought, “But make it quick, the justice officials can’t wait to dispense justice.”

“No problem with that, I’ll wire Maclean right away.” Alan Wilson nodded painfully.

This was the time to make use of the Cambridge Five, these idealists with a sense of justice. It wasn’t as if these people couldn’t coexist, it all depended on how they were used.

For example, take this time is the thing to say, the Governor-General of India, several people know, this is a borrowed to uphold justice, so that the judicial officials to make money campaign, as for can not change the social climate of India, no one cares about this kind of small matter.

But it was different for British Ceylon, and even more so for Donald Maclean, the man who believed that social justice had to be corrected, all defected to the Soviet Union, and if he had known that there was such a thing in India’s temple temples, what he would have done is anyone’s guess.

Whether he was a true idealist or a false idealist, it was up to Donald Maclean, as the commissioner of British Ceylon, to decide how to deal with the holy woman inside the temple.

While telegraphing to British Ceylon, Vivien Leigh, who had already succeeded in making progress, canceled her trip and returned to New Delhi to take a new assignment from Alan Wilson here.
