Chapter 240 Tripartite Talks

At the end of the straight avenue of the Victoria Palace, at the gates of the Viceroy’s House of British India, civil servants were lined up and gathered to await the arrival of the leaders of the Congress and the PMLN.

It could be said that it was very courteous, something never seen before, the gardens of the Viceroy’s residence were green and grassy, the fountains were still spouting water, and rainbows could be seen in the sunlight, there was no sign of the drought that was now spreading in British India. “Assistant, is not giving these Indians too much courtesy.” Ender spoke with some impatience.

“The Americans have a saying that holding a big stick with a smile on your face, courtesy and no money! You still have to bend over when you pick up money.” Alan Wilson full of concern wiped a handful of sweat, easy to say, “This can only prove that our Viceroyalty, in the fight against the drought leading role well, right, what those red wine steak are hidden, lunchtime meal, casually take two cakes to the two party representatives on the line, now the biggest thing in British India is to fight against the drought, we can not be too extravagant is not it? Is it?”

For Ender to pick up money but too bent capitalist inferiority, Alan Wilson gave verbal criticism education. Waiting to talk about this matter after the NCP and PMLN left, the evening reception to say anything to let Ender self-punishment of three cups of introspection.

What time is it, now hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent are facing the threat of famine, but also under a clear sky to talk about sarcasm.

Three cups of self-punishment can be exempted from culpability, but Alan Wilson is not ready to let go of Ender so easily, opened his mouth and asked, “Xiangjiang’s telegram replied to no, will not also did not do it?”

“It has been replied to the Xiangjiang Governor’s Office.” Ender replied in a rapid speech, “At the same time, we also put forward our proposal to open the border to receive refugees, the Governor of Xiangjiang has changed several times in a year, we contacted through the local commissioner.”

“That’s good, Xiangjiang’s position is of a special nature, a window, of course this window is a two-way street. For the moment, the biggest job is to balance the population of the Malayan colonies, the Malays are too close after all.”

British India has a special character among the colonial system of the British Empire, is often in contact with other colonies to maintain communication, if not for this communication, Alan Wilson did not know that the famine of 1946, also included East Asia.

Only after inquiring did he realize that the situation in East Asia was in fact not optimistic, there were victims of the famine into the Xiangjiang River, then think out of the box, probably the Korean Peninsula and Japan is not optimistic.

Even Germany has appeared food crisis news, Germany is in Europe, that is the United States and the Soviet Union focus on pretending to be a decent place, the next best thing is the scope of East Asia, the situation is unlikely to be better than Europe.

And now, it is certain that British Malaya has not been affected by the current famine that has spread across Europe and Asia.

The biggest problem in British Malaya at the moment is that it is underpopulated, and after the slaughter from Thailand, British Malaya is close to half a million square kilometers in size, with a total population of six million.

But British Malaya is next to the population of 80 million people up to the core of the Dutch East Indies Java, and from the Isthmus of Krakatau slaughtered Thailand after a knife, British Malaya’s ethnic ratio is even more unbalanced.

The Isthmus of Krakatau, which borders British Malaya, is inhabited by Malays, and in later times was a high incidence area for the Thai secessionist movement, which has now been directly annexed to British Malaya by a treaty, resulting in even more pacifists in British Malaya.

This was bad news for Alan Wilson, who was balancing the ethnic population.

After getting the news that there was also a famine in East Asia, on second thought this was also an opportunity, the Viceroyalty of New Delhi then asked the Xiangjiang side to consider opening the borders from a holistic perspective, Xiangjiang can’t fit in its ass, and British Malaya, which is already nearly half a million square kilometers, has the perfect place to eat this population.

This morning, Alan Wilson’s job was to send a telegram to British Malaya asking about the disparity in numbers between the two communities. And from a distance point of view, the difficulty of smuggling Malays from the Dutch East Indies is very low, and cramming in a little more Chinese would be good for the long term.

As for the issue of education, the Malayan colonial government should have been open and honest and blunt with the Chinese that they were not part of British Malaya, but an ethnic group that supported the colonial government as an auxiliary force.

As unpleasant as it may be to say, the Chinese in Southeast Asian countries were indeed in that role during the colonial era. As a foreign force brought in by the colonial government to assist the colonial government in suppressing local resistance.

Of course after generations of people living from the local area, many of them developed the illusion that they were the local masters.

Feeling that after independence, they can exercise the rights of the master, this illusion in Alan Wilson’s perspective, must be corrected immediately, the hand must be fast and also hard.

But in order to ensure that the illusion does not arise from the root, or to start from the top of the education. Therefore, the teaching materials for the Chinese in British Malaya should make it clear that the Chinese are not natives, which is a fact in itself, and there will be no objection to the narration of facts.

From the beginning of education, the guest mentality of the Chinese community should be ensured, and the aim of the British to stay in the country will have half the chance of success.

Education for the two communities, naturally, a Chinese education and a Malayan education, each other can not learn each other’s language, but higher education will be added to the English textbooks, and so on ……

Time is still long, Alan Wilson has time to slowly lead the deep changes in Malayan society, first in British India to complete the perfect curtain call, the key is the telegraph can not say, he has too many ideas about Malaya.

“Speaking of Dutch East India, Lord Killen is helping the Dutch operation and mediating with the natives.” Naturally, the conversation turned back to Southeast Asian issues, and Ender spoke of the current British role in the Dutch-Indian War.

“It’s only working for the time being, if I had a nuclear bomb, Jakarta would have been bombed eight times.” Alan Wilson snorted, with a murderous self-congratulatory face, “In Brussels, I talked to the Dutch about this, it’s splitting up if you can’t hold it, to set an example for the later colonies that want to be independent, which the French seem to recognize even more.”

The same applies to the present British India, where the Parliamentary lords of London are daily whimsical, and where are the honorable British Indian civil servants who know the inside story of the place.

While the civil servants of the Viceroy’s Office stand at the gate, promoting the god of key politics and generals, discussing the international situation and laughing at that America’s lack of tact and the Soviet Union’s lack of wisdom, the delegations of the Congress Party and the PML-N have entered New Delhi, where the British live.

The British immigrants living in New Delhi, also saw this procession marching towards the Viceroy’s residence, and many of them were silent, but looked at the procession with contempt, until they disappeared.

It could not be blamed on the Viceroy’s residence for not arranging a car; people liked the idyllic life for Gandhi’s sake.

When the team appeared in front of the Viceroy’s House, Allen Wilson rushed up in one stride, took the initiative to extend his hands to shake Gandhi’s shriveled hands, full of the expectation that you can finally come, “Honorable Mr. Gandhi, I’m sorry to trouble you to come personally, but this kind of thing, the whole of British India is only you who have this kind of prestige to get the support of the people of the subcontinent. ”

“Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Nehru, how kind of you to come.” Alan Wilson, again not forgetting Nehru, the real power of the Congress Party, and Ali Jinnah, the leader of the PML-N, greeted in a reverent tone.

Ender brushed his head away and stared at the branches of the trees planted along the avenue of the Governor’s residence, and if memory serves, Ender remembered that the assistant commissioner, who was mingling with the visitor, had just said something about blowing up eight times or something like that ……

“With the safety of the people of the subcontinent at stake, there’s no reason for an old man like me not to come.” Gandhi bowed his head slightly, matching his seemingly wise gaze behind his lenses, and greeted in a conciliatory tone.

“That is exactly what we invited the PML-N and the Congress for. This is a time when all selfishness should be discarded and all people should be closely united to tide over the difficulties.” Alan Wilson wore a blistering color and sounded emotionally sincere.

Simply Buddha light protection, Buddha descended to the world, and then reached out to make a please posture, inviting the bipartisan delegation to enter the Governor’s residence.

A very entranced Alan Wilson, accompanying Gandhi, Nehru and Ali Jinnah, described in a tone of complaint the severe test now facing British India.

“What angers us most is that the grain merchants in many cities are taking the opportunity of the famine to hoard, which is very abominable.” Standing on the moral high ground Allen Wilson chattered on and on, turning the corner to show that the Indians were a little more to blame for this problem than the British, “Not to mention that some anti-British elements, took the opportunity to burn down the grain silos in the United Provinces, millions of tons of wheat into thin air, and this loss is too great, the United Provinces is the most densely populated part of British India, once the there is a grain shortage, it will be a huge disaster.”

After saying some beautiful words of shirking responsibility while appealing for unity between the two sects, the two political parties, the crowd had reached the steps of the Viceroy’s residence, Sir Barron arrived late but still walked down the steps out of respect, welcoming the representatives of the Congress and the PMLN.

After exchanging pleasantries, the crowd formally entered the Viceroy’s residence, and the meeting, which involved the future of hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent, began with much anticipation.

On the side of the Viceroy’s residence of British India, Sir Barron was personally present, and Allen Wilson was one of the members present.

The PML-N, on the other hand, was headed by its leader, Ali Jinnah, and on the side of the Congress Party, except for Patel, who was on his way to London, two of the triumvirate, Gandhi and Nehru, were present.

In a slow and heavy tone, Sir Barron began this tripartite talk, and after the usual routine of saying that the grain silos were burnt and the traitors were messing things up, the tone of this drought was set first, “If left unchecked, this drought will be far greater than the Bengal famine, and may even result in half of the Indians starving to death.”

Alan Wilson covered his mouth with a heartbroken face, it was supposed to starve half of the people to death, and ultimately the loss was slight under the Viceroy’s strategizing.
