Chapter 270: They would rather die than surrender

Alan Wilson also mentioned the difficulties of British India now, both sides could finalize the content of the secret treaty first, but the signing doesn’t need to be in such a hurry yet, stability is the thing that everyone is pursuing.

This is definitely not shirking responsibility, Allen Wilson tried his best to let Pedro understand this point, the overall danger of the United States and the Soviet Union to the colonial empire, not for a particular country, but all the European countries that have colonies.

So to help Portugal was to help Britain itself, and Allen Wilson simply wanted the future of Goa to be more certain.

The certainty of becoming an overseas province of Portugal, “No surprise, British India became the future of two countries, is already a nail in the coffin, only self-deceived people are still deluding themselves. Or they actually know it in their hearts, but are unwilling to take responsibility and deliberately pretend not to know.”

The man Alan Wilson was talking about was in fact Gandhi, the Congress leader, who as early as 1938 Ali Jinnah had been publicly declared by the PML-N to be the great leader of the pacifists of all India.

During World War II because the Congress Party gave the British Empire a hard time, Britain turned to support the PMLN’s claims to concentrate on the World War, leaving the Congress Party aside, so the Congress Party shifted its attitude to draw in the PMLN after the Allies had gained the upper hand over the Axis powers.

At the Congress’s Ramgarh Conference during this period, Gandhi declared that the Pacifists had the “right to separate in the joint family of India” and set up a legislative assembly on the basis of adult citizenship to allow Pacifist members to decide whether they wished to be independent or to be part of a “joint family” (i.e. a “joint family”). of a “joint family”. In effect, Gandhi had recognized the PML-N’s right to create an independent Pakistani state.

It doesn’t seem to have taken more than a couple of years for Gandhi to forget the promises he made when he brought the PMLN into the fold. He certainly hasn’t forgotten, but he has certainly backtracked.

With the current dynamics of the two religions separating, Goa is a long way away from the pacifist congregation, and the pacifists in Goa are motherless children, definitely more credible than the Christians in Goa.

“If the partition of British India is a foregone conclusion, then the plan works.” Pedro nodded, except that the clutter of voices in London made it confusing to figure out exactly what to think about the future of British India, leaving the Portuguese side floundering.

“London originally wanted to preserve British India as a whole and make it independent, but now that voice is fading. As of now London has no future vision for the British Indian side.” Alan Wilson was honest, “The opposition to those MPs is an inside job, but to come up with any solution is a bit of a stretch.”

“Well, then, let’s get the food to the disaster area first!” Pedro nodded with a contemplative voice, “What else do we need to prepare.”

“Bring more film and Portuguese flags to record the touching moments.” Alan Wilson slightly forehead, flabbergasted for a moment, “There seems to be nothing more, to establish a positive image of Portugal in this drought can be. The unimportant things can be blown out of proportion, and the really important things can be done on the sly. I look forward to the next time we meet, the Portuguese Viceroyalty has got everything ready, I have a trip to Rangoon to make, and there’s a real lot going on too.”

“Alan is really being used heavily.” Pedro smiled sardonically, “What’s happening over there to keep you busy?”

Of course it was to see how far the Emerald House plan had gotten! Alan Wilson spoke easily, “Nothing much, went over to visit a friend.”

This was definitely not a perfunctory comment on Pedro’s part, his trip to Burma had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on in the Andaman Islands.

Going to see the progress of the Emerald House close by was really just a side trip, something was really going on, but it wasn’t appropriate for the Portuguese to know about it.

The message from the Viceroy’s Office to the Congress Party was that Allen Wilson would make a personal trip to Rangoon to express concern about the deportation of the Rohingyas, so the rat that fell into the rice vat was really going on official business this time.

Seeing as British India is falling apart, the Congress Party has the time to be concerned about the Rohingyas who believe differently.

This is what Alan Wilson said, the NCP is deceiving itself and others, do not want to give the corresponding rights to the pacifists, but also want to retain the integrity of British India, the idea is beautiful, all the benefits to take a little responsibility do not want to bear.

He felt that the future of British India envisioned by the Congress Party might be such that the British Empire suppressed the PML-N, which was in opposition to the Congress Party, and then taught British India to the Congress Party in its entirety, a standard daydream.

If this could become a reality, Alan Wilson thought that the British Empire could think about punching the American Empire and stepping on the Soviet Union.

After giving an explanation to Hyderabad, Alan Wilson boarded a train to Calcutta while the battle was raging in the Andaman Islands, and from there he took a boat to Rangoon to attend to another important matter.

This great event was not the so-called Rohingya concern, but something profitable, the Burmese currency reform.

The currency now used in Burma is called the rupee, and it is pegged to the Indian rupee, as in many areas, because of the special position of British India in the British Empire, except for the autonomous territories of the kind in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, the Indian community appeared as an auxiliary force in the vast number of colonies, and that was true in any field.

Now that the British Empire is in dire need of economic recovery and British India is clamoring for independence, it’s time to unload.

The expulsion of the Rohingya was only part of the problem of the Indian power in Burma, it was far from being the whole problem.

After the British occupation of Burma, they set up banks in Burma, but only branches, with the head office in India.

The British banks issued currency in the form of loans, etc., called Indian rupees. In the meantime, the Burmese themselves tried to set up a bank but nothing was done, it was very small and insignificant.

The currency of Burma is called rupee and naturally the banking system has a share of India. So the current Burmese currency reform, for the British Empire, is to take back the share of the Indians, into the hands of reliable people.

The state issues a new currency and abolishes the old one without compensation. It is the same as white silver, which could have bought many things, immediately becoming worthless and disturbing the order of currency circulation. Many people opposed it, especially the economically weak groups, more resistant to it, so much so that they rallied and marched and confronted the government. It can be seen that the currency issue involves people’s livelihood, the economy, society and national security, and is not a trivial matter.

Therefore, this matter must be carried out with patriotic purposes, the scapegoat certainly can not be the British Empire, so only India is more appropriate, in Alan Wilson’s conception, this will be the first step of Myanmar to get back the sovereignty of the currency, become an independent country, pay a small price is completely worth it.

At this moment he is not alone in the battle, decades later in India to implement the abolition of currency order Modi old fairy with him.

At the behest of Modi, bills in denominations of 500 and 1,000 rupees were to be withdrawn from circulation with immediate effect, and existing bills had to be deposited in the bank or exchanged for new ones within fifty days, or else they would be reduced to waste paper.

Modi’s demand to stop the use of the old large currency was motivated by the need to crack down on tax evasion, leakage, corruption, and other behaviors that rely heavily on large sums of cash, and it was possible to declare the remaining currency to be wastepaper by giving only fifty days to exchange it.

This consequence also did appear, India is a multi-lingual high illiteracy rate of the country, some of the bottom of the population may be after the exchange time to realize that the hands of the large amount of paper money is a piece of waste paper, this is a silent looting of the bottom of the population, the people have no money how else can they produce and consume?

Since the old fairy can do so, Alan Wilson feel that he can also, what tax evasion, corruption reasons are justified, he helped Myanmar to get back to the sovereignty of the currency, not even more should be embraced? It’s not the Burmese who are against it, it’s the Indian lapdogs!

Just at the same time as Allen Wilson boarded the ship to Burma, the battle for the Andaman Islands was also underway to the most critical time, following Yamashita Bongfumi swept across Southeast Asia’s full-fledged troops, the will to fight is absolutely praiseworthy.

But none of this could change the absolute disparity in weapons, and the cavalrymen of the Eight Mile Bridge were also very brave, and fell under the volleys just the same.

The gap between the weapons of the two belligerents is even greater than that time, the landing of the Indian troops in the attack after the disadvantage, mobilized heavy artillery shelling, the sky warplanes cover, the ground has heavy fire support, instead of the rioters but is a turtle in a jar, this situation if the repeated setbacks, Ali Mantakar also feel that it is not justified.

In the tough will, but also can not offset the huge disadvantage, have a steel will is not really steel, despair is also surrounded in the prisoners of war spread.

Even the leader of the rioters despaired; many squadrons organized according to the wartime Japanese Army establishment had already been wiped out, and now all would die here, except that no one knew when death would come.

That unarmed POW was organized and would not be immune to shelling, and from the very beginning this was a desperate confrontation.

Especially when they saw their well-trained, single-minded men being killed one after another, many of the rioter leaders who had made up their minds to fight to the death didn’t have the courage to stay here.

They wanted to run away, they wanted to surrender, seeing that their doom was about to come, even the crazed would come to their senses.

Only, surrounded as they were, there was no place for them to escape. Likewise, the Indian troops were not prepared to accept their surrender.

Bullets were fired, and some of the chiefs who wanted to escape dispersed in a flurry. The Indian troops may not have been so well-trained as a whole, but there were quite a number of very good shots in all the units; after all, the Indian divisions were not likely to be as well supplied as the British divisions, and the bullets had to be economized on, and that is how the shots were evened out.

The headless rioters were once again turned into a rabble and were named one by one by the Indians, the entire hillside where the rioters were entrenched was littered with corpses, and just before the sun set on this day, New Delhi finally received good news from Arimantakar, “All the rioters have been wiped out in their entirety, and are so frantic that they would rather die than surrender.”
