Chapter 325 Holding out for another year
Some heartfelt wishes were given to General Aung San to have a good time in New Delhi and learn from India? Or discover any shortcomings so as to accumulate views and material on Indian imperialism and then return to Burma to publicize it widely.
Maybe then the Burmese will realize that the British were actually not too much compared to the bloated post-independence Indians.
India can love to follow the example of the American Empire to play the long arm jurisdiction, remember in the fifties, Burma also paid to hire thousands of Indian veterans to combat the remnants of the artillery party entrenched in the north, of course the money has not been taken, but the role is almost nothing, the Burmese spent a fortune.
Because the Governor’s family has gone to British Ceylon for a vacation, the air in the Governor’s residence is filled with the smell of freedom, turned over to be the master of the Allen Wilson, the General Aung San’s trip to make some arrangements, it is beautiful to find Sir Barron to report.
“Oh yeah?” Alan Wilson’s heart stirred, but on the surface he didn’t move and said, “It’s really unfair that we’re not able to occupy even any of the important pages in British India when we’re looking out for the future of the empire every single day.”
“It can’t be helped, we are all humble social commons that can only hold the blooming fruit of politicians.” Sir Barron shrugged helplessly, “But there is no need to complain, popularity and influence are all things that politicians seek, not only is it not a fortune but a burden for us, by the way, how was the talk with General Aung San?”
“It’s okay, I hope he can understand what I mean.” Alan Wilson told the process of coercion and then said, “Since the approximate date of evacuation was set, the situation seems to have smoothed out quite a bit, both in India and Burma.”
“What are these people independent for? But to become the leaders of this country instead of us and realize the revolutionary idea? The people being in charge? Bullshit!” Sir Baron laughed dismissively, “It’s just a new group of rulers, and they might even miss us after a long period of stagnation.”
“We must make sure that this future becomes a reality.” Alan Wilson nodded and picked up, “That’s why the partition of India and Pakistan was the right thing to do, an independent India would have lost the Ganges estuary delta, as well as the entire Indus basin, and the geography would have been worse than ever before, but our Viceroys just don’t get it.”
“Successive Viceroys have done so, and then they realize that it’s best to do what they’re told. We need to take a little initiative to teach them that as well.” Sir Barron had seen enough of this, and then said, “A purchasing mission from Germany will be arriving in New Delhi soon; make good arrangements for your reception.”
“My reception?” Alan Wilson heard, when did he become the receptionist.
“That’s right, you have a talent for reception work that you don’t even recognize yourself.” Sir Barron nodded solemnly, emphasizing Allen Wilson’s virtues, and ever since Sir Barron’s last visit after the American delegation, he had remembered in his mind the way to keep an assistant busy.
There was no better work to keep the hard-working assistant to the commissioner from having time to meddle everywhere than reception work. So knowing of the visit of the German delegation, it was in his heart of hearts that no one would be better placed in charge of this matter than his most valued assistant.
This Alan Wilson disagreed with; where was his strength in reception work? But soon he found out that there really was, and when Isabella Bogina, led the German delegation out of the plane, he was convinced that he had not been wrong.
Sir Barron had merely been trying to get Alan Wilson a job to keep his assistant occupied for a while, but he hadn’t expected to get it right.
That very night, the battle comparable to the Battle of Jutland was fought, dry wood met fire, the battle was very intense. The British Grand Fleet was heavily attacked by the High Seas Fleet and suffered heavy losses.
“Well!” During the post-war period of reshaping Anglo-German relations, Alan Wilson wrapped his arms around the Dragoon who could only implement the Rainbow Plan, “What a pleasant surprise, I really didn’t expect you to come.”
“There was a famine in Germany last year, the idea on our side was if we could exchange some food from British India for industrial goods to guard against a possible food shortage for a few years, last winter was very hard on Germany and wanted to make some preparations.” Allowing the man’s palm to cover the heights, Isabella Bokina adjusted her rapid breathing and spoke of the purpose of her trip.
“No problem, don’t worry if you have me.” Alan Wilson agreed painfully, just leave everything to him.
“There won’t be any difficulties.” Isabella Bokina was still very considerate of this man, inquiring if it was reluctant.
“Famine won’t fall on one place for three years in a row.” Alan Wilson stated not reluctantly at all, the question was an insult to even the Pearl of the British Empire, “Just say how much is needed.”
“I’m so relieved to have you here, I knew you were the best for me.” Bokina came up again and gave the man a little reward in return.
The quantity is a bit bigger, mainly there is still the demand from the Soviet-occupied area side, Isabella Bogina wants to smuggle some food, mainly also to take care of her compatriots on the Soviet-occupied area side, we are all Germans, it is reasonable to have this kind of idea.
A look at the Dragon Riders so proactive, flattered British India Commissioner Assistant also feel very reasonable, blood is thicker than water.
“By the way, Anna’s child is not mine.” At this point, Alan Wilson asked the doubt in his heart, “How come Mountbatten’s wife will know you guys?”
“They’ve been to British Occupation.” Isabella Bogina related the process, then said, “Anna’s child is yours, of course, a very healthy boy, nicknamed Hans.”
“Can’t you Germans change your names?” Alan Wilson laughed bitterly, his brain can come up with no less than ten jokes about Hans, but he did not forget the main thing, and said greedily, “If only you sisters had my child, you would be very beautiful then.”
These affectionate but brazen words, if it were before, Bokina would have wondered how the other party could have said them, but now? “Give me some time to think about it, you know that unlike Anna, I have to hide for a while to have a baby.”
“It’s okay, I know it’s a rude request, but it can’t be helped, it’s what I want to do, I don’t want to lose either of you.”
The first thing that came out of his mouth was a scummy quote, but with the Dragoon’s affirmative answer he was now energized to help the Dragoon’s home country out of this difficulty, we were all Europeans, and while Germany had made a mistake, it was all forgivable.
Potential is something that is always there when you dig deep, and although India has been hit by drought for two years in a row, a third time is bound to not come, and it’s not as if there isn’t any food, the PML-N-controlled Punjab province, has some leftovers.
This is largely due to the efficiency of the British Indian civil service last year, which ultimately achieved success against the drought as well as under all the unfavorable conditions, and there is no problem in using this surplus food.
Is the German British Occupation an outsider? In the two-winged program, not the same contribution to the British Empire? Without the hard work of the British Occupied Territories, there would not have been the great relief of the finances of the British mainland in 1946.
If it were only British India, even if the civil servants were more capable of making the sky higher and bluer in India, they could at most scrape out 200 million pounds, which was the limit, but with the addition of British Occupation it would be different, and it would be a complete one plus one effect.
Have as a big head of British India and Germany British-occupied areas as an example, the major colonies have not willing to be behind, in last year’s record for the British Empire contributed close to six hundred million pounds of income, the pound and the dollar is a ratio of two point eight, this is since the formation of the Empire of the Sunset, the largest number of a single year, there is this money can not solve all the problems.
But if it continues for a year, I believe it will make a decisive difference, and for that reason Alan Wilson must bite the bullet. The pressure on Britain itself was shared with the colonies that it could influence.
Early break free from the quagmire of World War II is absolutely hopeful, although the United States stopped lending to Britain at the end of the war.
But there was still Canada, the fourth largest country in the world, and when Adderley came to power, he negotiated for Canada to provide Britain with a loan of more than $1.2 billion in 1946, plugging the hole in the United States.
Canada made this decision, certainly because of the affection with Britain, but equally because Britain’s efforts to break out of the quagmire were fruitful enough for Canada to come to its aid.
Britain’s efforts to break out of the quagmire were reflected in British India’s belt-tightening against famine, and in the taking of the surplus value of all German industrial goods in the British Occupied Territories as a supplement to Britain’s own territory, which was channeled to the major colonies.
So the British Occupied Territories and British India are two grasshoppers on the same thread, and in all reason Alan Wilson should help. These two arteries, can not sit back and watch the other one has a problem to see death.
Allen Wilson is also a veteran of the transfer of contradictions, Sir Barron also knows the importance of the British-occupied areas, save Germany is to save the cigarette factory …… is to save themselves, Germany’s difficulties is the difficulties of British India.
Punjab, ultimately the PML-N nod, for which Allen Wilson personally went to the side of Ali Jinnah, at the same time to bring the Germans to see the terroir of British India, which is the colonies that you Germans launched the First World War and wanted to seize.
Time was spent in internal debates in the Congress Party, in the deployment of food in the Viceroy’s House, and in the vacation trips of the Viceroy’s family. At this time in 1947, everything seemed as if it shouldn’t have been so, but then again, it seemed as if it should have been so.
