Chapter 263 Disney
“I’d also like to thank British Burma and Malaya for their help this time.” Sir Barron heartily exclaimed, “Those of us civil servants working in the colonies still have to stick together at critical times.”
“I wonder what Burma is like, I’ve never been there.” Secretary Ender said with the same curiosity, “I heard that Burma was not affected by the drought this year.”
“What can it be like, of course it’s a colony just like here.” Alan Wilson laughed softly, even the financial situation was similar, Burma’s finances were almost at their limit now.
In the final analysis, the two-winged plan is to use Germany’s industrial base and British India’s market, so that the United Kingdom centered pricing drive the British mainland out of the aftermath of the war.
This British India refers to Greater British India, which is to say it includes almost all of the current colonies in Asia. Nepal, Burma, Ceylon and even the British colonies in the Gulf of Aden.
Of which the subcontinent is of course the big one, but that doesn’t mean that Burma, Nepal and the like aren’t important, and in fact Burma has made no less of a contribution than British India in a number of areas, it’s just that the total amount can’t be compared to British India.
To British Burma’s bloodsucking, in fact, before there has been expelled Rohingya a share, because Britain after all, the population is not much, the management of the colony has always needed a force to cooperate, British India in the British Empire among the colonies is that rely on the force.
And now the independence of British India has become a consensus, coupled with the need for urgent recovery of the mainland, Alan Wilson after consideration, on the one hand, to defuse the hostility of the Burmese, on the one hand, but also for the exploitation of a more efficient.
Just let the Rohingya people get out of the way, and personally take over the share belonging to the Indians.
That way the exploitation is more efficient and a bigger boost to the homeland. The Burmese will also be happy and the only ones who will be unlucky are the Rohingyas who are the helpers of British imperialism.
This can’t be blamed on Allen Wilson, the Rohingyas should blame the NCP and PMLN, it was the NCP and PMLN’s need for independence and the need for greater blood transfusion in the homeland that forced Allen Wilson to throw off the gentleman’s mask first.
The effect was also obvious, after the Rohingya’s downfall, the distribution of wealth in British Burma became more reasonable.
The Burmese, who had just received wealth, also showed vigor, and food production did not decrease, but purchasing power increased. The profits imported into the British mainland instead showed an increase.
This situation is of course not sustainable, but what is needed now is not sustainable development, but to stimulate the power of all the colonies, as long as the mainland once swept away, the British Empire is still the same British Empire.
I heard that the current native civil servants, on the British-occupied areas to promote Burmese rice, just need to reduce the cost a little more, industrial goods can be exchanged for Burmese rice to alleviate the food shortage in Germany, as for the rice does not meet the tastes of the Germans?
There is a food shortage, and at this time the Germans still have the good sense to pick?
It is good enough to be able to eat, not our British Empire, now in Germany a cigarette can be exchanged for a woman’s services, tobacco prices fell is not the British Empire’s credit?
Overall, the program is moving forward smoothly, the British Empire’s recovery is still very fast, anyway, Alan Wilson’s greatest wish is that the British Empire before the independence of Burma, the British Empire to end the rationing system.
Of course the greatest joy was that things in the Andaman Islands had not worsened, and the quick response of the Viceroyalty had been instrumental in that.
“A bit lonely!” Allen Wilson, who was off duty from the Governor’s Office, felt a sense of emptiness after getting out of work.
Returning to his apartment, Allen Wilson tossed and turned without any tiredness, now especially wanting to experience the feeling of exhaustion, even if it is an Indian car ah.
The outside of the house was brightly lit by the stringed moon. So he got up and leaned his body against the balcony fence, deciding that sleep was out of the question as he wandered around the safe neighborhood.
Alan Wilson put on his jacket, took a couple of cigarettes with him, and began to prowl up and down the garden paths and ghostly from the flowers.
Inside his head he even wondered if being in India was not a good idea to follow the customs and contribute to the rape cases in India.
Spinning around Alan Wilson snapped his head up, looked at the dim night color, and cursed with a nose that was not a nose, “It’s raining?”
But then a look of regret appeared on his face, what a thing to say, rain is a good thing, it can alleviate the drought in the subcontinent.
The weather in the subcontinent was like this, when the dry season came, the sun was like a furious god, emitting dazzling rays of light in the sky, and then the monsoon winds suddenly blew westward, at first it was a fierce wind blowing, and then it poured down and rained incessantly, and everything was soaked through until not even your clothes, beds, or even your food was dry.
It was still hot, steamy and muggy. The brooding jungle paths became swamps, while the rice paddies became vast expanses of shimmering stagnant water that reeked of a stale stench.
I just wondered if this rain was a sign of the passing of the drought, which hardly ever stops whenever the rainy season arrives. Sometime later, the rains began to diminish and eventually stopped altogether, signaling the passing of the rainy season and the opening of the next round of seasonal alternation in the subcontinent.
While Allen Wilson was being sentimental in North India, the business elite led by Wilkins had reached Hyderabad in South India, which for once was hardly affected by the drought.
Also like New Delhi, the region had just received a rainfall, after which a white mist gushed out like steam boiling from a huge kettle.
People came out to hunt ducks and pheasants. Pheasants are too numerous to count, and there are flocks of geese flying up from the shallows, squawking like a freight train crossing a railroad bridge.
The ripening rice is chest-high and yellow like waves of wheat. Turbaned Indians rushed to work, arms wrapped around them, their faces dark.
Early in the morning Wilkins crossed the mist-shrouded, tangled wilderness, where the grass on the open ground was wet, much like the grass in the United States, and the trees were bare, with monkeys squatting on the branches above them, waiting for the sun to appear.
At night, as they returned across the trail, they would run into children driving buffalo home, their huge horns like crescent moons looming in the mist.
Not far away some fireworks could be seen, the natives building a fire, and the servants and laborers sat crouched at the edge of the light, too embarrassed to disturb their white masters, but just leaning slowly toward the flames like dogs.
On the whole, the business elite, led by Wilkins, still considered it an arduous journey; after all, not everyone was fond of exoticism, and the women of South India were really darker in complexion.
To Hyderbala this mentality is only a little better, although not as good as some members of the Magic City, or Manila, but compared to the Indian cities along the way, Hyderabad’s hardware is really quite good.
British officials in British India didn’t have much need of a particularly competent weighing function.
Few of them are as hard-working or resourceful as the postmaster of a local British town.
The real administrative work was largely done by native subordinates; and the real backbone of the despotic government was not the officials but the army.
With the army the officials and the traders could live in peace with each other, even if they were fools, which, in fact, most of them really were. It was a dull and decent community, holding on to and defending that dullness behind the bayonets of the British Army in India.
After a period of experience, Andy has been out, like an ordinary British Indian officer, to carry out the boring and tedious work, after the fruitless pursuit of Alisa, he has completely let himself go, to experience the exotic flavor of South India, but did not make the scandal of not paying.
Or it may be like some colleagues said, Alisa is actually Alan Wilson’s mistress, he was destined not to get.
If Allen Wilson in New Delhi had known that his subordinates were making up their superiors, he might have immediately promoted him …… to the Andaman Islands as a commissioner.
Although he did give Alisha in the telegram in the middle, said not to contact with the Americans, but this is entirely because of the love and care of the subordinates, and did not move what crooked heart, this can lead to choreography? If you hadn’t been looking for prostitutes and not paying them, would you be in this situation?
On the same planet, how is it that countries are not the same as one another, far across the ocean, in the United States of America.
Katharine Hepburn’s home in Los Angeles, today ushered in a guest, Katharine Hepburn’s home guests from the past are some celebrity friends, but recently the composition of the guests on some changes.
“At the risk of interrupting, the Honorable Miss Katherine, I am here on behalf of the Gannett Newspaper Trust, my name is William Hess.” William Hess introduced himself and then showed his cards.
The Gannett Newspaper Trust was founded by Frank Gannett. Prior to World War II, it mainly controlled New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, as well as a dozen or so small and medium-sized city newspapers.
The Gannett Newspaper Trust’s main influence was in New York, and it had a very good relationship with Wall Street. After introducing himself and waiting for Vivienne to appear, William Hess stated the purpose, “Our group would like to work with ABC to produce a documentary on British India to make American citizens more aware of that fascinating place.”
“This is also of great benefit to Miss Vivian, with the strength of our two families in the media field, we can greatly enhance your fame, the most important thing for an actress is probably fame. Of course Miss Vivian is British and may not think that getting enough help is enough.”
“Then some other places we can help, many shareholders of our two companies have wide influence, Mickey Mouse, Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, Miss Vivian don’t think that the Disney company can only do animated movies.”
“Mr. William, why are you looking for me?” Vivienne listened to the other party’s words and was also thinking, but the thing she was thinking about had nothing to do with documentaries, but the derivatives that Alan Wilson had said, as if the Disney Company was a connoisseur of such derivatives.
