Chapter 248: Valuable Information

Alan Wilson had not received the telegram from the United States, and did not realize that he was thinking about the same thing as Derek’s idea, only that the focus of the two people’s considerations were different, one was for the sake of the enterprise, and of course the United States would benefit in the end.

And he was thinking about how to benefit the British Empire, and that was to get the upper echelons of Britain and India to form a relationship, which would have been a historical development, and the top echelons of India would have had a relationship with Britain.

Alan Wilson didn’t know who did this historically, but now this was something he was doing.

In fact, it is not true that the British Empire lost its influence completely after it lost all its colonies.

Among the original British colonies, many mining companies chose London to list, and in the twenty-first century there are still more than two hundred African mineral companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with a total value of one trillion pounds.

This is something that even many Africans know all about, and as for the Indian upper class, it has always been heavily influenced by Britain.

This is the same as France tugging on the African colonies do not let go, Britain and France is only in the means of different focus, from the financial field, Britain is certainly more successful than France, later London is still in addition to the United States of America’s second largest financial center.

Otherwise, Britain’s local industry after the Iron Lady a robbery, almost nothing left in the case, how can still and France all aspects of the industrialized countries on an equal footing? Relying on the financial control of the former colonies, and smarter than France.

The downside is not without consequences, just as there are more and more Africans in France, there are more and more South Asian faces on the streets of Britain.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, sub-powers like Britain and France adopted different policies for different countries.

For the former colonies it was pulling in a handful of gifted and talented people and powerful local elite families, but there was no let up on the mass importation of labor.

The importation of labor was all done from Eastern Europe by granting work visas to citizens of Eastern European countries.

The Eastern European group was actually much larger than the number of people from the former colonies, and the reason why it felt like there were more blacks in Britain and France was because the color of the blacks was instantly recognizable, and the average person couldn’t tell the difference between Eastern European and British and French national citizens on the surface.

But Anglo-French national citizens, or at least British people, are able to tell what the difference is between Eastern Europeans and their own citizens, and the reason that Polish ball, while not original to the UK, is very much a hot topic amongst British internet users is that it is used as a proxy for the influx of Eastern Europeans into their own territory.

Distributing the status of British residency is what Alan Wilson is doing now, and he wants Britain to complete an orderly withdrawal from British India, not as it was historically, when Mountbatten came into office with his grievances, used his plenary powers to dictate, and waited until British India was independent before London was an afterthought.

Since it was an orderly withdrawal, every aspect had to be considered as to how to take away the most valuable part of British India.

First of all, the Maharajah of the soil state is all to consider, small soil state even if, things are precious, like the first fifteen powerful soil state family can not fall, the rest need to identify some, not much stronger than the landlords of the soil state, honestly stay in India to make a contribution to it.

There is also the current British Indian industrialists, after all, is a huge colony, the United Kingdom can not be everything, always need the help of India’s local elite, such as the Tata family has now become famous.

For a long time, the Tata family is synonymous with India’s richest man, although like Ali Khan like the Maharaja group, many members are more wealthy than the Tata family, but in the business class, the Tata family has absolute influence.

Like the Tata family such a family, regardless of whether the other heart is willing or unwilling, Alan Wilson will give British citizenship, and the Tata family has no reason to refuse.

The Tata family’s faith is Zoroastrianism, the state religion of the ancient Persian Empire, and when the Arab Empire punched East Rome and kicked Sassanid Persia, the religion of peace also expanded, and the Tata family’s ancestors were the Persians who fled to India.

This group of believers in Zoroastrianism, who came to be known as the Parsis, lived mainly in the city of Bombay and in several towns and villages along the north side of the city, and soon after Bombay came under the control of the East India Company, which enacted complete tolerance of all religions.

Thus the Parsis began to migrate to Bombay. The expansion of Bombay during the colonial period owed much to their industrial as well as commercial prowess. By the nineteenth century, the Parsis had become a wealthy community.

The Tatas came from the Parsis, the wealthiest community in British India.

Alan Wilson had already sent people to make contact with the Tata family, and in the event that the partition of India and Pakistan caused a vendetta, it was believed that the Parsis, who had themselves fled to the subcontinent because of the religious wars, would leave themselves a way out.

Regarding the merchant class in British India, Allen Wilson would make a list totaling one hundred families to be given the right of abode in Britain at any time during the next period.

It was at this time that Ender, secretary to the Commissioner of the Viceroy’s Office, pushed in the door, and Allen Wilson looked up and said, “Ender, please sit down; what news is there again.”

“It’s the statistics sent over by the high officials of the various lines.” Ender said while holding it out to read, “The reported figure for the United Provinces is that three thousand five hundred and thirty people died from famine as well as hot weather, the figure for Bengal is one thousand five hundred and forty eight, and the Northwest ……”

Allen Wilson, with a serious face, listened to the reported figures so far, which were a human tragedy and deserved to be treated seriously, and then said, “Reverse the terms famine and hot weather to deaths from hot weather as well as famine, there is no problem with the figures, and no need to ask for proof, include them in the statistics. Something about mobilizing all the fishing harvest from the Andaman Islands to the subcontinent to deal with the drought needs to be done right away, oh what does our Sir Baron think.”

One didn’t need to see it to know that the death figures reported by the provinces now must be false, it was not even necessary to think about it. The numbers that were made out still had zeros and zeroes, and it was also hard on the administrators of the provinces.

But Allen Wilson can not burst with a sense of justice to demolish, this is very consistent with the subcontinent’s tradition, since the infection figures are high, blow the cure rate, wait until people are convinced of the cure rate, and then slowly bring the figures down.

That would have been the average for the vast majority of the world, nothing to point fingers at. On the matter of the famine in British India, India is not the Soviet Union, so where is the right to be concerned.

“What Sir Barron means is that you just handle these things. Young officers should get a chance to exercise.” There was a hint of envy in Ender’s tone, as if Assistant Commissioner Allen had been more heavily utilized since the news that the new Governor was about to take office.

“Things still need to be approved by Sir Barron, I can only do specific work, there is still a lot to learn.” Allen Wilson wore a modest look on his face and did not show the slightest change because of the news that the new Governor was General Mountbatten.

If there was a change, it was that he was working harder, or at least not having to do time management work, with all the extra time devoted to serving India.

“By the way, Eliza has sent a private telegram from Hyderabad, Alan read it for yourself.” Ender handed the telegram to Alan Wilson, and even maliciously thought that maybe Alisa was Alan Wilson’s mistress, otherwise why did she always send private telegrams, and every time she sent it over, Alan Wilson also personally acted as a translator, not letting other people know what the contents on the dotted telegram were.

“Oh, thanks.” The disgraced Allen Wilson reached out and picked up the telegram, unaware of the Commissioner’s secretary’s malicious speculations. He was justified in this matter, and Alisa and he were, so far at least, a mere superior and subordinate relationship.

Soon Alan Wilson went to the telegraph room and did the translating himself, muttering in a knowing way, “Message from Vivian.”

The contact with Vivienne was for Vivienne to send the telegram to Hyderabad, and then forward it to Allen Wilson through Alisha, which was a bit cumbersome, but better than safe.

He couldn’t be blatantly seeking personal gain in the Governor’s Mansion, the place where General Mountbatten was about to descend.

It would be a little too dangerous to do so, and the existence of a working relationship with Alisa was a valid excuse.

In a short while, Alan Wilson has learned the ins and outs of the matter, Fei Wenli’s trip to the United States was a great success, was praised by all sides of the public opinion, but also know, he then speculated that there may be thinking of his own father’s legacy of the rebellious son appeared in this matter, but also did not fall into the useless, there really is someone thinking of ……

“These profitless Americans.” Things really happen, Alan Wilson still can not help but deplore the shamelessness of the Americans, in order to money what all can do out, do not know now British India outbreak of famine? Just forced not to look forward to the door?

“U.S. Steel, the industry of the Morgan system. This fish is not small yet ……” Allen Wilson muttered, he knew about this matter entirely because, before, he read a book written about slave owners, which happened to be mentioned.

But no matter what, Fei Wenli in the United States caused a British whirlwind, under the push and pull did cause a huge sensation, Fei Wenli kind, beautiful, intellectual image has also been further consolidated.

As for this telegram to be something, as a good brother of the international movie queen, Alan Wilson quickly found from the Governor General’s Office, about the distribution of coal and steel in British India and the estimated reserves information, extract the essence of re-sent to Hyderabad.

Another time, this is the act of selling the motherland, but British India is not going to be independent, it is not selling the motherland, but through legitimate means, the exchange of valuable information, the five-eyed alliance of blood is thicker than water, and is not considered to be selling.

Allen Wilson is so uptight, but also for Fei Wenli’s activities in the United States to open up the situation.
