Chapter 25: Still need to find Mountbatten

“Not all of it, but some of it. But Ali Khan is not the usual monarch of a native state, and in the high society of London, Ali Khan is treated with full courtesy. Now that the monarch of Hyderabad wishes to do so, I have no reason to object.” Alan Wilson, full of helplessness, opened his mouth and shirked his responsibility.

Since Ali Khan was a figure who was all hung up in the eyes of the British Empire’s royal family, then the matter of colluding with Tubang, it was more appropriate for Ali Khan himself to take the blame for this, and the other party also had the ability to do so.

Although the British Empire is a monarchy, but at least it is the source of capitalist countries, so both respect Ali Khan’s monarch title, have valued Ali Khan’s huge wealth, two combined, Ali Khan’s value in London is very important.

“Although you are not very old, this aspect of learning is quite fast.” Sir Barron smiled and picked out Allen Wilson’s words of shirking responsibility, took a deep breath and said, “But at such a critical time as the present, I can’t ignore Nehru’s pressure, the stability of British India is more important than anything else at the moment, so let me think about what to do. You must not go to General Mountbatten, he is very wary of you!”

I then sent a document! Alan Wilson let out a light breath and had to leave Sir Barron’s office, and as soon as he left the house, he went straight to General Mountbatten’s villa, Sir Barron’s subtext, which was to immediately look for General Mountbatten to figure out what to do.

After some inquiries to determine that General Mountbatten is in the commanding general, he knocked on the door directly to the villa. In order to solve the current crisis, he couldn’t care less.

“If you can’t handle me this time, the death toll after India’s independence will at least double.” Greeting Nehru with his mouth, Allen Wilson was secretly vicious in his heart, he only wanted to strengthen the power of the Turkish state a little bit, and contacted the Portuguese to prepare for a certain number of benefits for himself.

What’s wrong with that? India is not yet independent? This British India in the end is still not a colony of the British Empire? In his own colony, he did these what is wrong!

However, Nehru was so unsympathetic that Alan Wilson, who had good intentions and expected India to be more democratic, ran into trouble that should not have arisen, which was simply too abominable.

After resolving this trouble, he would definitely let Nehru know the consequences in the next time.

“Aren’t you in South India? Why did you come to my house again? What are you doing this time?” As soon as he opened the door Pamela Mountbatten saw Allen Wilson and instantly sent out the soul three questions once again.

“I hope that the next time we meet, we won’t be faced with this continuity.” Allen Wilson looked fixedly at Pamela Mountbatten, skimming over the other side to look towards the house, “Can you let me in, I’ve come here specifically, and I’ve brought you a gift.”

What did this part of South Asia have? Aside from a few well-known specialties, it was the home of gems in the world of ancient societies. The crown jewels were also literal to the British Empire, and before the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa and Brazil, this place was likewise the center of diamond processing, and Alan Wilson, who knew the history, was clear that because of the cost of manpower, this had not changed even in the twenty-first century.

Commissioner Hyderabad this trip is a blood money, from Ali Khan brought a not small diamond, anyway, as far as he is concerned, even if there is no ten carat, it is not far from it.

“I can’t have it, it’s too expensive.” The rest of Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes swept a glance at the diamond, and refused to say the words, “The last time you came, there were already rumors, and this time, sending a diamond is considered what.”

You think I want this? Alan Wilson gasped, calmed down and sighed, “I’m in trouble now, I hope I can successfully get through the current difficulties.”

Then came the full story of the events leading up to the organization of this gathering in Hyderabad’s Tupang, and the reaction of the Congress Party.

“It was Nehru who wanted trouble with you?” Pamela Mountbatten was greatly surprised, “I have heard that Nehru seems to be quite arrogant even as a person to be concerned about your work in Hyderabad. But you should have gone to Sir Barron, or Governor Wavell.”

“Finding Sir Barron and Governor Wavell would certainly be useful, but finding your father would be even more so.” Alan Wilson had an expression of you’re not fooling me, the royal family of the British Empire was definitely not a pose, at least not yet.

There was a time when Allen Wilson would never have imagined that he would have to pay a bribe to an underage girl. But the world is so marvelous, at present, the most authoritative person in British India is Mountbatten, who is holding the template of the British Dragon Pride.

Do you want to have a handful of rich and powerful, first Pamela Mountbatten to do, but it seems that the UK is not happy with the raw rice and cooked rice that set. Facing jail time is a little more likely.

“What was that look you just gave me?” Pamela Mountbatten unconsciously moved back a little, and she just happened to see the look that Alan Wilson had just given her.

“I was thinking about how to get through it.” Lying with a red face and heart was no longer a difficult task for the current Allen Wilson, not to mention that the person to be deceived was an underage girl.

“I’ll ask for you!” Having been indoctrinated with words for a long time, Pamela Mountbatten finally couldn’t resist. She didn’t have many friends in British India, although the Hyderabad Commissioner in front of her wasn’t familiar with them either, but because of the trouble she brought to the other party last time, it made Pamela Mountbatten rise a little apologetic.

Not really greedy for diamonds or anything, Pamela Mountbatten thought, and made a very brave decision for her, to help this middle and high level civil servant, to test the father’s mouth.

The atmosphere in the Viceroy’s residence in British India was very cringeworthy, Governor-General Wavell in his military uniform was more of a Commander-in-Chief than Mountbatten in his civilian clothes, but that was right, he was the last Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in South East Asia.

Viceroy Wavell, who had been a Field Marshal long before he was Viceroy of British India, did not normally interfere with the work of the Viceroyalty, but was the trusted head of the civil service, Sir Barron.

Of course Sir Barron was there in the room, relaxed and unaware of everything. Mountbatten, wishing to speak, asked, “What does Sir Barron think of the protest made by the Congress party?”

“In principle, it is true that at the present time British India needs the support of the Congress Party for the war, but we cannot disregard another matter, which is the question of the authority of the Viceroyalty.” Sir Barron said with a slight pause, “In itself it is not a great matter, and I believe Nehru should not take it to heart.”

Oh! Mountbatten nodded in understanding, but in his heart he was actually not satisfied with the answer, how come his own daughter would find an opportunity to speak for this man?

“Tell you what, I’ll meet with him to communicate.” Mountbatten opened his mouth and said to Sir Barron, “Don’t worry, it’s just a mere chat, I believe that the matter of socializing is not difficult for me.”

The corner of Sir Barron’s mouth flashed an imperceptible smile, then his face was solemn, “Since the Commander-in-Chief finds it appropriate, I believe that this Commissioner of Tubang, has no reason to refuse.”
