Chapter 234 – Save the High Castes First

Although just experienced a Paris Peace Conference after the end of the Lloyd George, as well as Clemenceau’s treatment, the pen in the hand in the world map so a stroke, the birth of a new country of the thrill.

But and the Paris Peace Conference of the British and French leaders are different, Alan Wilson has his own moral standards, he is not going to do over the addiction to die of things, receive money to do, since the money received to do things well.

Took the initiative to give Portugal an opening to take advantage of the fire, once India through the crisis of independence, will comply with the treaty, it is still an unknown.

The problem of Goa has been said before, the territory is small and the population is small, the security does not depend on Portugal’s military power, but on the result of weighing the pros and cons in Nehru’s brain.

Unless Portugal mobilizes the whole country and takes the attitude of France towards Algeria, then maybe it can be held. But it is better to make peace and not fight.

“The problem of Goa, as long as the opportunity arises, we cooperate on both sides, you want to find a way to let the Portuguese government to London proposal. The rest I will operate, once the great famine appeared can not afford to let the Indians do not agree, they first live and then say it. But not too much to make the Indians feel humiliated.” Allen Wilson, pen cupped in hand, told Pedro not to get too happy just yet, “The three enclaves of Dadra Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu, have to be ceded.”

“This?” Pedro instinctively hesitated, not for any other reason than the fact that no one always wants to eat out of their mouth.

“The three enclaves add up to less than a thousand square kilometers, just now I casually scratched, six thousand square kilometers of Goa, all of a sudden become more than twenty thousand. Portugal should be able to calculate over this account, don’t be too greedy.”

Alan Wilson opened his mouth to remind, what time is it, don’t think about eating meat but also the soup to finish the thing, always let people face to face, people India is also want to face.

“Should not be a problem.” After listening to Alan Wilson’s words, Pedro woke up, explaining that he had just spat out the meat in his mouth just because of the inherent thinking of colonialism and didn’t want to spit out the meat in his mouth, but in reality, as long as the area of Goa could be expanded, returning the other three enclaves back to India, it would still be a big profit.

“That’s fine, there are two assholes one to liberate the world and one ethnic solution. That’s our common enemy, we’ll have to carry on the spirit of Brussels and work closely together as nations to cover each other in order to do that.” Alan Wilson nodded, “The inhabitants of the three enclaves are also Christian, right?”

Pedro nodded, and Allen Wilson happily said, “Just move the inhabitants of the three enclaves to Goa, and if that’s not enough, bring in pacifists to settle there, and in the end, whether or not you can convert the pacifists is up to you Portuguese.”

Once the partition of India and Pakistan took shape, it was bound to be accompanied by a religious conflict, and then the Pacifists who entered Goa would no longer be a threat, and Goa would be so far away from any Pacifist concentration that it would have to hug the colonizers’ thighs.

It could even be argued that by that time, the Pacifists in Goa would be the group most resistant to India’s ambitions for Goa; the Christians might even defect, the Pacifists definitely would not.

Once this plan goes well, the situation after British India’s independence will be much better controlled, originally the two great river basins of the subcontinent, the Indus basin itself belonging to Pakistan, and the mouth of the Ganges River is also the pacifists’ East Pakistan. The analogy is equivalent to, China’s Yangtze River estuary and the Yellow River estuary are foreign countries.

India would have been poorly situated even if it had been independent, in fact originally historical India was poorly situated, and if you asked the Chinese to give up the mouth of the Yellow River and the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Chinese would never have done it.

The so-called Indian location is very good, just the Chinese people can not be cut, only see the Indian land three ripe a year, but can not see the two big rivers in South Asia, one is completely Pakistan, the other most important Ganges River delta is Bangladesh.

Now in the addition of Goa, as the equalizer after the partition of the subcontinent, Alan Wilson dare not say that it will be foolproof, but let Nehru double the hard work, or not a problem.

“Goa garrison is still not enough, how to have 30,000 size to do. Africa will not be a problem for a short time. Let us, the civilized world, run Asia first.”

Expand the area, fill the population, Christians are not enough to fill it with pacifists for the time being, as long as the colonial government is still in place, is it not a piece of cake to convert the population?

Regarding the land replacement program in Portuguese India, one can somewhat dispel the suspicion of being perceived by the Indians as taking advantage of the situation.

Give up other useless enclaves, strengthen the territory and population of Goa, this is the foundation, even if the implementation of hedgehog strategy, the foundation can not be too bad, is not it? Allen Wilson felt that how it should be the size of the area of Joan Island.

More details, Allen Wilson and Pedro, in the spirit of thinking for the future of the subcontinent, filled inside the plan under the witness of the infinite refills of black tea.

“Pedro can communicate with Lisbon once he returns. Wait to hear from our Governor’s Office and prepare the food, by the way speaking of food, this is more important.” Alan Wilson had a remorseful look on his face, this issue was more important than the Goa issue just now.

It could even be said that the reason why the Goa issue was thrown out, and Allen Wilson was willing to give Pedro the chance to solve the Goa issue, was all because of the food issue.

The reason why Alan Wilson, faced with the great famine caused by this drought, had to rise to the occasion was to seize the initiative. Once the famine hit, anything to eat would become sky-high.

When the time comes, it will certainly be a good opportunity to accumulate wealth, which is why he did not imply benefits from Portugal here too much. He does not want, the Portuguese have to take the initiative to give, meaning on the line.

By means of the great famine to achieve a variety of purposes, is what he, the assistant commissioner of British India pursued.

“This famine will depend on the help of Portugal, which did not enter the war. The country is not affected by the war.” Alan Wilson nuzzled at Pedro, “It will also solve the problem of Goa, why not?”

“Then we can only mobilize food from Africa, but Portugal is a small country with few people, and there is a limit to how much it can help.” Pedro because of the Goa program, certainly promised to help, but also afraid of being lionized, speak or have reservations.

“Mr. Pedro, there are always more ways than difficulties.” Alan Wilson said in disbelief, “If there isn’t enough food, you can still scrape together a little something else, such as bran, are the by-products of grain not considered food?”

“That’s for livestock!” Pedro was very surprised, “It’s hard for people to swallow.”

“It’s better than starving to death, isn’t it? Is a man who is dying of starvation still a man?” Alan Wilson laughed and said, “The purpose of the Governor’s Office is to limit the starving people to a certain range, just don’t starve to death, as for how they live, that’s not something we can care about, everyone is an independent individual, it’s a free world.”

“This one pound of grain can then be exchanged for three pounds of bran, so the grain that could have saved one person can now save three people, before the unprecedented famine comes, we can save one more person, it is a gratifying thing.” Alan Wilson compassionately said, “This is also, not a solution. As for the food, well, when the time comes, we will distribute it to the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes, and through them we will start the rescue of the people at the bottom.”

“They don’t withhold all the grain?” Pedro thought to himself, isn’t this a meatbag operation, Allen Wilson, with a look of planning and planning, even dared to implement the Goa plan while the great famine was going on, would not be able to see it.

“Mr. Pedro, the British Indian civil service is the largest group among the imperial civil service, second only to the native civil service, there are 100,000 people, but the management of hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent is still a drop in the bucket. Drought relief must be staffed. To fill the bellies of the people of the subcontinent, will you go or will I go? Isn’t it still dependent on the Brahmins and Kshatriyas.”

Alan Wilson reminded Pedro to pay attention to the national conditions of the subcontinent, even the Brahmins and Kshatriyas can’t be saved, what kind of drought relief is there?

“By squaring away the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, you will be able to fight this great famine? Surely it is enough that we in Portugal will help?” Pedro opened a cautious test; was the young assistant commissioner across the street so confident?

“We can put up a confrontational attitude, but this kind of natural disaster well. It’s hard to say yet.” Alan Wilson said with a big smile, “No matter what the final result is, our attitude is absolutely fine.”

Allen Wilson left Pedro, to participate in the Governor’s Palace evening reception, the front is tight behind the tight eat well, this is normal.

Governor-General’s Palace Hall, the gentlemen pushed a glass of wine, Allen Wilson is thinking out loud, the subcontinent’s famine if even the Portuguese are not to stand by? The subcontinent can still exist French India it!

Can be rescued through Portugal, then connotation of French India, see if you can deduct some benefits down from the French.

Just as the diligent assistant commissioner, thinking about how to turn danger into opportunity at the same time, with his wife to the reception of Sir Barron, just to see the corner of the Allen Wilson, so that his wife to make themselves at home, Sir Barron came towards this side.

“Sir Barron!” Seeing his top boss coming over, Allen Wilson hurriedly got up to greet him.

“I remember that you don’t attend many receptions.” Sir Barron nodded his head with a gentle smile and gestured Allen Wilson to sit down, he himself also sat next to his assistant at the same time and opened his mouth, “The news from London came in, maybe our new governor didn’t take office so soon, guess who the new governor is?”

Mountbatten! Alan Wilson smiled bitterly with a perplexed look on his face, “How could I possibly know who the new Governor is.”

“Mountbatten, surprise.” Sir Barron took a glass of whisky from the tray of the waiter who walked before him and clinked glasses with Alan Wilson quipping, “That’s good news for you.”
