Chapter 276 – Ai Zhongtang

Alan Wilson felt that he was simply in a race against time, along the way very much in line with the lyrics of a certain song, “I once crossed the mountains and the sea ……”

All the way to rush slowly finally returned to New Delhi, obviously all tired but also pretend to look as if nothing happened, in the face of the Governor’s Office other colleagues’ greetings, but also to answer, “Burma’s tour is very easy, just the days are quite boring, only to want to come back to look for the feeling of work, what is the news?”

“There is a news, it seems that an American broadcasting company is going to shoot a documentary, and a few stars are going to come along with it.” Ender looked at how it didn’t seem like an easy journey for Alan Wilson, and said suspiciously, “The commissioner had wanted to refuse, but couldn’t find a reason to do so.”

“After all, America and us are allies.” Allen Wilson grunted, using a tone that bluntly expressed how he viewed this alliance. For the kind of unprofitable personality of Torah imperialism, but also conscience to improve the United States’ understanding of British India, fooling who?

“Another thing is that the Viceroy is supposed to take office at the end of the year. That’s probably less than three months from now.” Ender mentioned one more thing, apparently believing that this was the more important one.

General Mountbatten had pulled out all the stops and exhausted all the means, and finally he was coming to British India to take office.

Able to drag so long, should be grateful to Allen Wilson’s work, not his labor in British India, to maintain a smooth posture, London will never endure so long, early to push Mountbatten over the top of the thunder.

The heat of the South Asian subcontinent had passed, and now it was almost October, and the end of the year was less than three months away.

Alan Wilson dare to guarantee is that the current British India than the same period in history is much more stable, after all, chicken blood a hard hit, and clean campaign, and anti-crime campaign, stuffed to the Indian elite a bunch of complex and boring bill making work, and support Gandhi hunger strike to save food movement, and call for drought on the line.

This half a year the Governor General’s Office through the operation of everything, the British India up and down, all-round tossed all over. If there is anything that interests the whole of British India now, it is undoubtedly rest.

Half a year of one thing after another, the Governor General’s Office and call for this and that, the subcontinent, although high immunity, but after a wave after a wave of chicken blood, but also feel physically and mentally exhausted.

This kind of mentality is the same as Alan Wilson, he now also want to rest, even envy up to where a trip are ignored untouchable, it is estimated that half a year of countless things happening in the subcontinent, it is also this class of people to stay out of it.

The Untouchables made up as much as one-sixth of the Indian population. Though they are Indians, they are excluded from any caste as required by the code due to sins committed in previous lives. They are easily recognized by their dark skin, cautious and rebellious manners, and shabby clothing.

They are called untouchables because other Indians are afraid to come into contact with them and be defiled, and if one does, the ritual of cleansing must be performed. The footprints of untouchables also desecrate the streets of Brahmin settlements.

When an untouchable and an Indian of caste meet in the street, the former must stand by the wayside to avoid defiling the latter with his figure.

No Hindu of caste is allowed to eat with an untouchable, or to drink the water from which he draws, or to use the utensils which he has touched. Untouchables have no right to enter temples, and their children are forbidden to attend school.

Until they die, they are inferior slaves for life. After death, their bodies are not allowed to enter the public crematorium. Because of their poverty, the untouchables cannot afford to buy enough wood for cremation, and some of the remains that are not fully cremated are thrown into the river or buried in the ground.

The only privilege of the untouchables may be the freedom to eat whatever they want in Hinduism, which promotes vegetarianism.

Abolishing the caste system before leaving British extradition would actually be the most lucrative way to go if one were to gain fame. However, Allen Wilson had his own ethics, any issue related to the caste system, he did not touch, to respect the subcontinent’s thousands of years of fine traditions.

While trying his best to maintain the stability of British India, because of the special status of British India in the colonial system of the British Empire, other neighboring colonies also have telegrams to inform the local news.

Among the telegrams from British Malaya was the question of whether to adopt a uniform Act of Jurisprudence for the enactment of ordinances for the two communities, or to formulate an Act specifically for use in British Malaya in order to adapt to the local conditions.

British Malaya being the new home base reserved by the Cabinet Secretary for overseas civil servants, the Malayan telegram was rightly known to New Delhi. Now that Britain had just resumed the rule of British Malaya, many of the functions of the government had not yet been fully resumed, and the enactment of a decree was only an idea and had not yet begun to be put into practice.

It was also known to Alan Wilson, who had just returned to New Delhi, and it so happened that Sir Barron, knowing that his assistant was a graduate of the Oriental College, wanted to hear opinions.

“I do not recommend the use of native bills, because different bills have different effects in different places.” Facing Sir Barron’s question, Alan Wilson frankly stated his opinion.

“Say what you think, and I am going to talk to Sir Edward among the telegrams.” Sir Barron said noncommittally, “On the question of British Malaya, which is a matter of great concern to all overseas civil servants, we certainly want to lay the groundwork.”

“I’ve heard that the Great Qing Law is in force in Xiangjiang, and that would be good.” Alan Wilson replied without even thinking, “As for the Pacifists, it’s just a matter of practicing religious law. The Religious Law governs the Pacifists, and the Great Qing Law governs all non-Pacifists, making distinctions strictly according to blood, and we’ll never push for ethnic integration.”

“There’s really no problem, after all, we are a country that follows case law.” Sir Barron didn’t find anything wrong with it, instead he nodded in agreement out of British Empire tradition.

The British era of Xiangjiang on the other hand, followed the British to pursue its customary laws, but also declared that the local Chinese are still governed in accordance with local regulations, so there is such a thing, the same murder, the criminal if not Chinese, according to the British law sentenced to death by hanging, but the criminal if Chinese, according to the “Qing Law” beheading, because the sovereignty belongs to China, but also a matter of course to use the “Qing Law”.

However, the group that defends the Qing Law the most is actually the local elites and tycoons. The reason is that it is a man’s dream to have three wives and four concubines, so why oppose the law that allows him to have a few more concubines legally?

But according to the Middle East Sharia law, the same can be solved this problem, you can marry four wives and three wives and four concubines half a catty. It’s a complete 50/50 split on this point.

Alan Wilson could even think that British Malaya might attract some thugs who realized the dreams of men to come over and immigrate, contributing to the local economic development too.

Even the brain has appeared in the advertisement voice, “My friend, do you want to find man’s happiness? Immigrate to British Malaya and be a real man!”

“What about the local teaching materials, the teaching materials must be in our hands, the lessons of British India one and all should be avoided.” Sir Barron’s eyes burned at Alan Wilson, full of the tone that the organization values you very much.

“Just leave it to me, I’ve studied it and have no problem editing out a set of textbooks.” Alan Wilson said with the identity of a senior student of the Oriental College as a matter of honor.

Sir Barron then nodded with satisfaction, this is also his purpose, Allen Wilson’s this assistant where all good, is too hardworking, let him as a superior is very lost, just use other places to keep the assistant busy, he can properly manage the British India.

“Sir, the Burmese currency reform has been finalized. Burgess and I have convinced the native Burmese leaders.” Alan Wilson exerted his industrious nature, giving Sir Barron’s wishful thinking a discount.

In fact, the colonial textbooks were not so difficult that they could be directly followed from the native British ones. The only thing that required effort was history, a subject that happened to be no difficulty for Allen Wilson.

The senior students of the Oriental College could directly copy the history textbooks from memory, and the only modifications needed were the boundary maps of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the rest could be basically followed.

This goes back to things that hadn’t yet happened in the 1946 timeframe, such as the war with the Soviet Union. The boundary maps of the Yuan and Ming dynasties hadn’t yet resulted in a significant extension of the border to the north because of this.

So in the historical discipline of boundary maps, the northern boundary of the Yuan dynasty should never cross Lake Baikal, the Ming dynasty would just draw it against the Great Wall, the adopted map of the Ming dynasty is probably similar to that of the Qin dynasty, and the map of the Yuan dynasty is that of the Qing dynasty before it wiped out the Jungarian empire, noting that the rest of these two points can be followed.

If Allen Wilson has a little crooked mind on China, can be completely in the large-scale aid before the map after the opening of the territory of the history of the textbooks sent to the Soviet Union, he is aware of the culture Tsar Foltseva.

So it is best to say that China and Britain do not have a conflict, in what position to do what, Allen Wilson is not going to be merciful because of the memory of the past.

Allen Wilson took over the education of British Malaya as a senior Oriental cadet. The incitement of ethnic rivalry in the colonies was to start with the children.

At the same time a telegram was sent to Xiangjiang to send a copy of the Great Qing Law to British Malaya in a hurry, and to Aden to telegraph for the teaching of the religion of peace.

“I always have to get a pen name, otherwise people look through the textbook, see that it is a British name, maybe they will resist in their hearts.” Alan Wilson bit his pen and wrote down a pen name after thinking hard, and it fell to Ai Zhongtang ……
