Chapter 258 – The Special Relationship between Britain and America

“It’s all about blood being thicker than water.” Alan Wilson responded with a leathery smile, “You Americans have heard this phrase before.”

The phrase “blood is thicker than water” is not a Chinese idiom, but a British proverb, but it really made this phrase famous and known to the Chinese people from 1860.

The thwarted Anglo-French attack on Dagu Kou and the entry of the American fleet in the Far East made the phrase one of the most famous in American history.

When the commanding general was asked why he violated American neutrality by assisting the British fleet fighting China at Dagu Kou, he justified it by saying that blood is thicker than water. “Blood is thicker than water.

“Of course, blood is thicker than water, but now China is also an important member of the Allies.” Wilkins clearly understands the historical origins of blood is thicker than water, and answered with political awareness.

The elite and those plantation naive rednecks within the United States are just different ah! Alan Wilson read in his mind, reached out his hand and signaled, “Welcome to British India, again before I have a few tips, the currency of British India is the rupee, in principle, the dollars you carry should be exchanged for rupees to be used in British India, this is a new rule since the beginning of the year, I believe that you should be able to understand this point.”

A colony is a colony! As soon as Wilkins heard it, he realized that it was a currency closure to stockpile dollars.

If you didn’t say that people who worked in banks were just experienced in this, that was really what it meant.

Mosquito is also meat, Alan Wilson a civil servant of the British Empire, of course, at all times in the interests of the empire.

Now the mainland are trying to struggle out of the aftermath of the war, as the crown jewel of the British Empire, British India must be a role model.

Out of a sensitivity to money, Wilkins spoke up, “I trust we won’t lose out?”

“Absolutely not, I’m absolutely concerned about this matter for a fair exchange.” Alan Wilson solemnly nodded his head, and could even let the other party take advantage of a little bit, with brand new new banknotes that have just come off the production line of the printing machine, exchange the dollars in the hands of the other party, and at the same time wish the other party to have a good time in British India.

The initial contact between the two sides left a deep impression on the other side, in the eyes of Wilkins, Allen Wilson, although the performance of a very restrained, but the greedy heart can also be seen through the side.

As for Wilkins these Americans, Allen Wilson believes that when leaving British India should be clean and leave, for the financial burden of the British Empire to play a positive effect.

The two men screened off their left and right and chatted with one another, talking un-nutritious nonsense in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

“For a long time, the United States has not been particularly concerned about Asia.” Wilkins emphasized with a smile, “Especially British India, the treasure of the British Empire. But I believe that it is not too late for good things, and it is not too late to start paying attention now. I believe Mr. Allen, too, should be welcoming us, right?”

“Of course, we are all family.” Allen Wilson nodded with a smile, “We should unite together to maintain world peace in the face of a common threat.”

In the face of the threat to world peace, talking about maintaining world peace, Alan Wilson played Tai Chi one after another, people do not take the initiative to open their mouths, he will not take the initiative to enter into the substantive stage, this is the UK’s home turf, and it is necessary to control the tempo.

If Wilkins and even behind Morgan, that is just a commissioner assistant want to do some cheap sale of state-owned assets, enrichment of private wealth of the scandal, it is too small to look down on Allen Wilson.

Allen Wilson essence of the purpose, is still for the British Empire, is trying to British India to do a bureau, the United States capital introduced to the realization of the funds transferred to the mainland, for the mainland from the aftermath of the war struggling process to add a fire.

He did not want to use to make a bureau to cut leeks to explain, after all, the other side is not a small role, but if Nehru is going to do something in the future well? That has nothing to do with Alan Wilson.

U.S. Steel invested in the money, will certainly become the British dollar reserves, this is the nail in the coffin of the fact.

Of course, all of this is a British Indian commissioner assistant is unable to complete, but fortunately the two sides of the contact has just begun, until things are almost, you can report to the local government looking for money everywhere.

But Wilkins intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that there will certainly be benefits to take, the other side of the hospitality, Alan Wilson is not good to refuse directly, “I am a civil servant, is not going to be tempted, impartiality and incorruptibility has always been the goal of my pursuit.”

“Very fair and clean, from seeing Mr. Allen’s first eyes, I can see it, otherwise it will not be so young to become assistant commissioner.” Wilkins hid the contempt in his heart deeply, and gave unstinting praise on the surface, “It should be possible for us ordinary tourists who want to go around in British India.”

“Of course it’s possible, it’s a land of freedom, it’s just that I wouldn’t recommend going to certain places, you know it’s a tough time for British India right now, with the drought and plague breaking out in some places. I’m not stopping anything, but I’m thinking of everyone’s safety.” Alan Wilson spoke slowly and suggested that it would be better for Wilkins and the others to inform themselves in advance of where they were going, so that they could make their own arrangements.

“I don’t suppose there are any of the aforementioned factors in Mysore Tubal?” Wilkins eventually picked the words out of his mouth, which was the purpose of his own arrival in British India.

“The local scenery is pleasant, full of exotic flavors, I hope the tourists who came from afar to have a good time.” Alan Wilson dryly gave a response, ending this chain of initial meetings.

The next day the US dollars carried by these Chase business elites were exchanged for rupees, the currency of British India. Brand new stacks of Indian rupees were placed in front of everyone, the new banknotes just look good, and the smell of the banknotes is refreshing when you take a closer look.

“I wish you all a pleasant journey in British India. My assistant, Love …… Andy, will help you with things in South India!” Alan Wilson spoke up and then held out the contact information for the Hyderabad Tupelo Commissioner’s Agency.

“Once we have finalized some things, some of the benefits that things bring, will soon arrive.” Wilkins took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Allen Wilson’s, hinting at the treatment after the matter was finalized.

Originally Allen Wilson wanted to say that something can go to Alisa, but the words came to his mouth when he thought of a bunch of Americans in front of him, temporarily changed his words to let these people find like-minded Andy is better.

Wilkins these people just arrived in New Delhi on the harassment of British expatriates, and looking for prostitutes do not pay Andy is a perfect match, may be a very common language, as for the Alisa well, although it is not a great beauty, but the face value is also considered to be on the top of the class, a head of red hair, it is difficult to avoid will not let the genital inside the brain of the Americans want to get into the wrong way.

In case if something happens, Alan Wilson will be very difficult, can not be shot, now is a civilized society, can only set up a cannon to let these Americans enjoy the treatment of the Great Indian Uprising.

“Have a nice trip.” Allen Wilson reached out and waved his hand, saw these loose children on their way, then prepared to return to the Governor’s Office.

How busy he was as assistant commissioner, not to mention the health bill, he now had to worry about the things Nehru was supposed to be doing, such as working on a bill that would ensure that foreign-owned businesses didn’t make much money.

It can’t be totally unprofitable, if it’s totally unprofitable, no one will invest in British India, and a bill to ensure that apart from British companies, some companies from other countries invest in the subcontinent, they won’t make much money.

The chastisement of the Lords of the Crown. Though originally, historically, India had done a good job of tripping up foreign companies after bringing them in. But Alan Wilson felt that it could do better.

With the same foreign investment, even if Britain had become independent, as long as not all the dark stakes planted during the colonial period had been dug up.

British companies would have an advantage over those of other countries, an advantage that would exist even if Nehru pushed for social reforms in India later.

After all, Allen Wilson didn’t believe that Nehru, could really turn India into a country like the Soviet Union.

Wilkins does not have to thank him for the tiny work he has done, don’t ask, ask is the Anglo-American special relationship ……

The work of the Viceroy’s Office is rather dull at the moment, and British India is even duller, with nothing more than food problems every day, except for the American tourists who have just arrived.

But since the U.S. Steel Company donated a shipload of food has already departed, at this time it can be completely used first to quench the thirst of plums.

Although the current can not eat, even if the arrival is not necessarily have the share of the victims, but the spirit of the uplift is endless.

The spiritual power brought about can help many people survive this drought.

As for who this credit belongs to, the deep-voiced Alan Wilson is certainly not the right person to take it, but of course it’s still the Indian goddess Vivien Leigh’s.

According to the source who is not willing to divulge his name, that is, Allen Wilson pointed out that certain temples are preparing to offer Vivien Leigh, which is also very normal? Hinduism has three point three hundred million gods, and one more is not much more than that, what’s wrong with ordaining a god?

Since the news, has been reluctant to disclose the name of the commissioner’s assistant put out, it will naturally be published in the newspaper, published in the newspaper will naturally be approved, disapproval of the voice as not heard.

The voices that were not taken seriously disappeared, and the rest of the people naturally agreed with all of them, and this matter was nailed down.

“Assistant Allen, have you seen today’s paper?” Ender asked as he took today’s paper at lunchtime with the news that he was going to canonize Vivien Leigh.

“No, I thought you were talking about the second round of the debate between the Congress and the PMLN in London.” Alan Wilson said with an ignorant look on his face, “We are civil servants, we have to read newspapers that make sense, this kind of newspaper is for Indians and is equivalent to entertainment news in effect.”
