Chapter 225: Continuing to Divert Conflicts

“He’s really back? What great news, Sir Edward’s knowledge of General Mountbatten has helped me a great deal.” In the Prime Minister’s office, Airdrie thanked Edward Bridges sincerely.

“Oh, it’s not really a special knowledge, General Mountbatten is from Cambridge.” Edward Bridges shook his head gravely, “And I’m an Oxford student, not much contact actually.”

In Edward Bridges’ eyes, Cambridge University students are more or less with a hint of rebellion, specializing in opposing the strict Oxford University, for this purpose, out a few traitors as spies to betray Britain, he will not feel surprised.

Mountbatten, who had returned in high spirits, of course did not think that there was a difficult and honorable task awaiting him.

He is riding the winds and waves, starry-eyed to London, and has not forgotten to send a telegram to his wife and daughters in the British-occupied areas, how can it be possible for the family not to be around for such an important occasion as the conferral of a knighthood?

“Thank you for Ms. Isabella’s hospitality, recently in Germany to thank you for your care. I heard when I came here that there was a very capable female role model assisting the Occupation government in restoring order.” Edwina Ashley thanked Bokina with a cup of black tea, “War is a terrible thing, especially for us women, I hope your sister is able to move on from her sad past.”

“What Anna needs now is to recuperate, there is nothing I as a sister can do.”

Anna is well, Isabella Bokina wanted to laugh in her heart, after Edwina Ashley’s family arrived in Bonn, the most shocking thing about the Heilmann family was that there were only women in the family, and the youngest, Anna, with such an unusually girlish face, was topped with a round bulbous stomach.

Wasn’t there no man in the Heilmann family? The end of the war didn’t match up either!

In response to the curiosity of Edwina Ashley’s family, Bokina glanced at Pamela Mountbatten and stated that her sister had been raped by a British occupying soldier, and that she herself had searched for it but had not found it.

It wasn’t exactly a slur; Anna had indeed seduced Alan Wilson with an uncooperative attitude at that point in her life.

The incident also aroused the sympathy of Pamela and her sister Patricia, who felt sorry that the British Empire had produced such a scum, and should be court-martialed when found.

“Unfortunately, my husband has been contacted through the Garrison to return to London at once, and we may not be able to continue our good discussions with Lady Isabella.” Edwina Ashley said with regret on her face, “Very impressive insights into economics, many things we almost thought of together.”

“Probably a coincidence, the world is such a wonderful place.” Isabella Bogina’s smile beneath her short hair looked mysterious and unusual, “The exchange with Ms. Edwina has also allowed me to learn a lot and become more confident about some things.”

“If there’s a chance, it’s very tempting to cooperate with the Heilmann family yet. Not to mention anything else, this tobacco factory alone is impressive.” Edwina Ashley mentioned the Heilmann tobacco factory, stating that it was a godsend.

Thanks also to the civil servants of the British Occupation Board of Trade, there was an amazing solidarity on the issue, even when Alan Wilson left the job, and demonstrated the fine quality of officialdom for the sake of civil service solidarity.

Everyone did it, but everyone proved to each other that they didn’t, and there was a tacit agreement that the kind of scandal that Shaq did too wouldn’t happen.

Edwina Ashley, with her two daughters, went to the British Occupation Board of Trade and straight away stated that she knew Allen, revealing the target in the first place.

After coming into contact with the Isabella Bogina sisters, Edwina Ashley is no match for the elite spy.

Bokina also suggested that Anna should find a place to hide for a while first, which was strictly rejected by Anna, wearing a bulging belly and hanging out in front of this family every day.

Until Edwina Ashley is about to leave, still being kept in the dark, and thinking that Pogina is the mistress of one of the two Under-Secretaries-General of the Board of Trade.

General Mountbatten, in his pomp and preparation for his knighthood, urged the matter with such urgency that Edwina Ashley soon left Germany with her daughter.

Anna changed her soul-traumatized demeanor and cocked her head, “This is Allen’s family, it’s very easy to deal with. Especially that little daughter, her head is too simple. I suspect that Allen is attracted to that little girl because she is easy to cheat.”

“Addicted to being a mistress, you have to wear a big belly in front of the other party?” Isabella Bokina squinted at Anna, “Raped on the way to school, for crying out loud.”

Spoken as if you weren’t a mistress yes! Anna lowered her head but immediately raised it again, and could not see the ground, but fortunately did not pretend, and self-justified, “I can not get rid of the child, now the conditions are so rudimentary, if you do not do it, you will put your life in it.”

Anna even thought maliciously that Bokina was just jealous of her belly and wanted to plot against the heir of the Heilmann family!

The problem of British India was now the biggest problem of the British Empire.

Just as the Cabinet was trying to find a suitable candidate, the Viceroy’s Office was not idle, and after bidding farewell to Viceroy Wavell, the People’s Servant was still going about his business in an orderly manner.

In General Mountbatten’s family rushed to London at the same time, Alan Wilson is still worrying about arranging the NCP and the PMLN’s trip to London, the matter would not necessarily be done, just use this excuse to hang the NCP and the PMLN’s appetite.

A back and forth is not again need time? Of course, if the London side does not agree with this program, it does not matter, the Governor’s Office will pinpoint the time to go through the procedures, press line to inform the NCP and the PML-N this regrettable news.

All things are divided into positive and negative sides, for example, the same thing, such as food, the Viceroy’s Office can hire a person to collect the food and at the same time in the employment of a person to destroy the food, so that one thing can create two jobs, why not.

“Sir Barron, I personally think it would be best to make the trip to London of the Congress and PMLN delegations a reality. By today we must say that the signs of drought are very much visible. We are still diverting the conflict in the old way, but it seems to be beyond our ability to divert it. If the famine is extensive, it would be best to get help from London.”

Originally only held a indifferent attitude Allen Wilson, as the days passed day by day, has learned from the reports of the provinces, this year’s agricultural situation in British India is not optimistic.

“Surprisingly, there has been a drought for two consecutive years!” Sir Barron is also full of surprise, solemnly inquired, “the cotton crop will not be affected, right.”

“Absolutely not; it is simply rising.” Under the sunlight cast in by the windows, Alan Wilson said firmly, “The supply of raw materials from the mainland will definitely not be affected.”

“That’s good.” Sir Barron’s face loosened a little, but remained taut, “As long as it doesn’t delay the native’s economic revitalization program. As for the question of British India, we must first of all admit that with such a large place and so many things going on, the question of British India has always had a complexity.”

“Very complicated!” Alan Wilson was as if he was responding, “That’s why I suggest giving the Congress Party and the PML-N, a chance to prove themselves on the big stage, or else many countries will still think that we are relying on us. Or deliberately pit them against each other, giving them a chance to fall in love with each other on the big stage will also let the whole world know that the two religions would have fought long ago if it wasn’t for us, the British Empire, suppressing the conflict.”

“We have been so kind to the Indians, and they do not appreciate it.” Sir Barron was also furious when he heard that, “If we hadn’t come over, in another thousand years, those colonies wouldn’t have tried to enter modern society.”

“Too right, they don’t know how to be grateful.” Alan Wilson’s righteous indignation agreed, “Take these Indians for example, many of the so-called ancient civilizations are this virtue, thousands and thousands of years ago they discovered something, we never take the ancient Greek geometry of the BC originally said that thousands of years more advanced than them, did not take the peacock dynasty of the same era Eratosthenes, calculating the circumference of the earth to boast about themselves. ”

“Nor did you take the air spinning ball and say that the Greeks had steam engines thousands of years ago.”

“Aren’t you writing a work on nuclear war in ancient India? Has it been published yet?” Sir Barron let out a long laugh and looked at Alan Wilson’s expression with great amusement.

“Published and very well received. Has been passed on by word of mouth …… among the Brahmin community as a world-shattering example of the great ancient India!” Alan Wilson held his head high, very much in line with the Soviet phrase, your name is unknown, your achievements will live forever.

Not only was he going to publish the results of his research in India, he was going to share them with the world and remake the image of Indians worldwide.

“That would be a very interesting thing to do, definitely something to look forward to.” After a joke, Sir Barron turned back to the topic, “I should contact Sir Edward, hopefully I can get Sir Edward’s approval and persuade the Prime Minister to make this happen, who do you think would be better to go to London.”

“Gandhi and Jinnah are definitely not suitable, the PML-N side whoever it is, but the Congress side would be better off with Patel. The man would do well to take that show of his and put it on a bigger stage. Staying in India always gives us trouble.”

Listening to Alan Wilson’s opinion, put Sir Barron nodded and said, “Let the citizens of London, see a show. They’re no loss, and they’ll have to buy tickets to the zoo.”

The situation in British India was known only to the civil servants who worked here, and was unknown to the high and mighty members of Parliament. This lends an occasion for what the Indians really think to be known by others.

Meanwhile the drought is almost a nail in the coffin, get rid of the hardliners in the Congress and the PMLN and save them the trouble of taking advantage of the drought.
