Chapter 323 The Dilemma
It was no secret that the Congress Party had been harboring illusions about taking over the whole of British India; even Allen Wilson knew that.
If Nehru’s hand is the whole of British India after the independence of the Republic of India, will be honest down not in the expansion?
The answer is no, excuse this kind of thing now looking for all rush, stronger India will not become a positive role, will continue the historical policy.
And no one in British India knows better than Alan Wilson what this potential pro-Soviet elements will do. If India under Nehru was given a choice between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the choice would be the Soviet Union a hundred times a hundred times a hundred.
As long as Nehru stays alive, it is almost a certainty that India will side with the Soviet Union, but of course in terms of national attributes, there are some things the Soviets can do that the United States will not do if they are killed, once they really go out on a limb.
For example, massive industrial aid to a country, neither the US nor the UK would do it. Only a fool like the USSR would go head over heels! Not only did the Soviet Union do it, it did it twice, once to a major country and once to India.
The two large-scale industrial aid actually have different points, can’t say that the Soviet Union in a pit fell twice, in the industrial aid to India, just because has been in a certain big country in a lesson, the aid to India is not related to the whole system, more specific projects, the total amount may be more, but will not let India really have the ability to do things behind closed doors.
And of course it was mainly because India itself had problems, so by the 1980s, when the Soviet Union was in its prime, India’s industrial capacity and capability was roughly half that of a major power of the same period.
Bumping into a leader like Nehru, who really wanted to make the country sound, India’s demands were beyond the reach of Britain and the US.
Only the Soviet Union would have accepted India’s offer, and naturally, with Nehru’s influence, India would not have thrown herself into the arms of the free world.
It would not necessarily be good for Britain if it did, because the big brother of the free world is now not Britain, but the US. The US will surely eat up all the British interests in the subcontinent, rather than give it to the USSR… the complexities of heresy and infidelity ah ……
Regardless of whether India is with the USSR or the US in the future, he can’t let India get the benefit anyway, the victory of the colonies is the defeat of the British Empire, he can’t let India take advantage of the British Empire here.
“Let’s put it this way, anyway, General Aung San is also here, I can contact the monarchs of Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim, and send someone to sign a security treaty, no matter what happens, the independent India can’t adopt an annexation policy towards these neighboring countries, I don’t know if Mr. Nehru thinks there’s a problem with that?”
Just as Nehru was about to answer, Allen Wilson suddenly turned to face General Aung San himself and asked, “What does General Aung San think of my proposal?”
How was it? Of course it’s great, can’t you see the two men are arguing about the Rohingyas, almost to the point of saber rattling?
“It’s certainly good, and reflects the British Empire’s responsible demeanor as a world empire. I can’t even wait to share this good news, with my partners at home.”
Almost immediately, General Aung San expressed his welcoming attitude towards the matter, and couldn’t wait to manufacture it into a fait accompli.
For Alan Wilson, it was also the right time to make this happen, on the one hand he had collected money from Bhutan and Sikkim through Lai Kiat Seng, and a man of his word, who collects money, has to do his best.
On the other hand, it was in the larger goal of making India as manageable as possible after independence and not ignoring the role of the British Empire too much.
If Nehru didn’t agree, it would prove that Nehru was a potential imperialist, adopting policies towards the smaller countries around him that were no different from the British Empire.
If Nehru agrees, India will not find an opportunity to annex and encroach upon these countries in future.
The occasion was also good that General Aung San of Burma happened to be there, as a witness who not only wanted to witness the scene, but even wanted Allen Wilson’s signatories to include Burma.
“I will ask my teacher Gandhi to decide.” Nehru did not dare to agree hastily, so he brought out Gandhi as a shield.
“Very well, I believe that Mr. Gandhi, as a peace-loving man will never object.” Alan Wilson muttered to himself with a flick of his eyelids, “Now it’s up to us to see if the nonviolence is real or not, and anyway, the British Empire won’t lose anything as a result.”
The Rohingya issue, which had been at a standstill for a few days, became what it is now after Alan Wilson had just come out of the confinement room with a flurry of stirring.
As Nehru was on his way out, Allen Wilson said to the future Indian Prime Minister’s back, “Mr. Nehru, then we’ll notify Neerpo, Bhutan, and Sikkim first, and I won’t have to notify General Aung San since he’s right here. It’s just a formality anyway, how could a man like Mr. Gandhi, who calls for peace, disagree?”
What a hurtful thing to the persona, if disagreement proves that India has ambitions for the neighborhood, the so-called non-violence becomes a joke, and since Gandhi set up the persona of non-violence, he has to pay the price for it today.
Once it became famous that non-violence was a lie, then at least for the time being, the British Empire still had a bigger fist than India, and solving problems by violent means was not hard enough for India at the moment, and it just so happened to be something that the British Empire was good at.
“Allen, how did you get out?” Governor Mountbatten was mesmerized by Alan Wilson’s Arbiter performance and waited until Nehru had left before he suddenly remembered something, shouldn’t the man be in the brig.
“It was Pamela who let me out.” Alan Wilson said with some embarrassment, “Mr. Governor, I have been cleared of suspicion.”
“You’re lying, any investigation in London can take as long as a year or as short as a few months, never this fast.” Governor Mountbatten knew the efficiency of bureaucrats on British soil too well to believe Alan Wilson’s words.
“Mr. Governor, it’s not as if the homegrown investigative process would start by locking up a suspect. There is also the fact that it’s not that civil servants can’t do things quickly, it’s just that they usually slow down their efficiency to come up with mature and also constructive programs for the sake of the empire, instead of making hasty decisions from a few days’ time.”
Alan Wilson opened his mouth to defend the professionalism of the civil service group, the so-called hasty decisions, referring to all the behavior of Mountbatten since he took office, you should be on vacation don’t you know?
As for the signing of the treaty of peace, Allen Wilson is prepared to want to use the tone that will be signed tomorrow, first publicized for two months. Then the official meeting in the waste of a month’s time, and finally come up with after all parties to weigh, come up with a mature program for publication.
It is not in vain that he received money from Sikkim and Bhutan, receive money to do things, this is his philosophy all along.
Just restored the freedom of the commissioner’s assistant is also quite busy, stirring up after Nehru and Aung San, immediately went to find Pamela and Alisha to go, this time there is no need to avoid suspicion, to make a bright appearance, in order to completely dispel Pamela on the relationship between the supervisor and subordinates of the suspicion.
Finding the two, they sat down directly beside Pamela Mountbatten, facing Alisa, and giving the Governor’s daughter a very obvious hint, the three chatted together, and every now and then a burst of laughter appeared.
“You know, Alisa, that I used to think a great deal of him, or at least no less highly of him than you do. But he had an incident of his own, I am very willing to look out for him, but we can’t promote a tainted person to be a commissioner, can we?” Alan Wilson had a troubled look on his face, “What does this have to do with me, I told him not to pay?”
As soon as the words fell, Pamela Mountbatten pinched the man’s waist, it’s really getting more and more mouthy, what’s the point of paying or not paying, two ladies are here, just so blunt?
“Although we have no proof, it’s probably him.” Alyssa thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t expect it to take the form of a letter of report, it’s overly despicable, how to deal with him.”
“This kind of rule-breaking behavior, he certainly won’t be in the civil service in the future. But now is also not the right time to deal with him, others still think that I am taking revenge, the key I really have no evidence.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, “Transfer to work in one of the provinces, otherwise you might be troubled as well.”
“I don’t want to see him either. Not an endearing man indeed.” Alisa had one hand attached to her teacup, her face rather cold, “I thought you were going to clean him up a bit though.”
If Pamela Mountbatten wasn’t here to listen, it was inevitable that Alan Wilson wouldn’t have talked to his inner circle and cleaned up Andy’s mess, what happened to no evidence? This is not native, the colony appeared a civil servant killed in the line of duty, that is not a normal thing.
Sitting for a while, Allen Wilson gave Alisa a wink and left, leaving two ladies to communicate here, he is such a hardworking civil servant, but also to go to work.
This day Allen Wilson asked the same question to Pamela and Alisa respectively, how did he clear himself so quickly, but unfortunately Pamela would not answer. A little later in the day he asked Alisa the same question again.
“Your Honorable Superior you really want to know.” Alisa took a step closer, they could almost smell each other’s bodies on each other, and lightly opened her lips and said, “I have a one-time proof that can prove that the two of us are innocent, a proof that works better than any kind of talk, a proof that Andy has been trying to get, but hasn’t been able to get it yet.”
“Wow.” Alan Wilson is not stupid, of course he understands what Alisa is referring to, “I wonder which lucky person will get such a precious gift in the future.”
“Maybe it’s you too.” Alyssa exhaled like an orchid, one hand gently attached to the man’s belly, like a fresh breeze, wherever it passed, it was full of life.
