Chapter 326 The Way Forward
Historically in 1947, British India had come to the brink of civil war, since the arrival of the summer the two main sects clashed constantly, now with the efforts of the Viceroy’s Office up and down the country, can there be a change, wait until the summer comes to know.
Allen Wilson had prescribed a once and for all remedy for the Indians who were looking forward to independence, since they had a headache, they should cut off the head so that all their problems would be solved.
He knew that the Congress Party would not agree, but it did not matter, it would agree when the time came.
It wasn’t that he had nothing to do with finding Arizona, through Arizona’s rigorous tuberculosis, he, who had been thinking of rigorously tapping into the potential of British India on all fronts, thought of another area in the subcontinent where he could make a contribution to the British Empire, the drug testing ground.
Every kind of drug that goes on the market must necessarily speak of long-term drug trials to determine that the side effects are controllable before it can be approved for sale. Otherwise there could be extremely nasty consequences, such as in the case of the seal babies.
These deformed babies have no arms and legs, and their hands and feet grow directly on their torsos, looking like seals, so they are called seal babies. Soon after, seal babies appeared in Britain, Australia, Canada, Japan, and Brazil, etc. The types of deformities included no limbs, half-limbs, no hands, no feet or fingers, missing ears, and no eyes.
In the ten months beginning in 1962, five thousand five hundred seal babies were born in West Germany, and a considerable number of pregnant women suffered miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths. More than eight thousand such newborns were found in Britain, and more than three hundred in Japan.
The developed world, the United States, was the one place that was spared, because an American official objected, allowing the United States to avoid this one. Of course China also avoided it, and the reason for avoiding it was even simpler, it was too poor.
India as a drug testing ground, is a well-known fact, long-term as the test base of the European and American drug companies, naturally has its own advantages, first of all, the subcontinent is known as the Museum of Ethnology, India has a composition of five different ethnic groups, respectively, the Negritos, primitive Australians, Dharavitans, Aryan-Punjabis, East Asian races.
Genetic diversity is the best place for drug trials, and then there is Africa as the origin of mankind, where the native blacks have a diversity of genes, and naturally, Africa and India have become the testing grounds for the major drug companies.
Whether this is ethical or not is not something that Alan Wilson can consider, he just doesn’t have it.
And it’s something that India itself exchanges for generics as a condition, otherwise the major international drug companies, why would they let India flood the world with generics? Nothing in this world is for nothing, and it is India that has taken on the burden of the testing ground to enter the WTO without being harshly criticized.
Otherwise on the basis of the generic drugs article, India would not have been admitted to the WTO in a hundred years.
After inquiring about Ali Jinnah’s health and exchanging views on the future of British India, the small book that Alan Wilson carried with him for putting down the ways to tap India’s potential was added to the list of records of the test site for generic drugs. This would be the next thing he would work on.
After Vivien Leigh left British India, and Allen Wilson is not completely cut off, through the relationship of the Great British Treasure, Allen Wilson in the United States to contact the company of tuberculosis research.
Streptomycin applied to tuberculosis as long as on has begun, but alone with streptomycin to treat tuberculosis, will soon appear drug resistance, but for Ali Jinnah’s already small life expectancy, this side effect is nothing at all.
At most, next month, the experimental nature of the drug will arrive in British India, that time he will send over to Ali Jinnah.
This Congress Party’s current greatest enemy, even if it was to live for a few more months and then accept Allah’s call, it would be a good thing for the British Empire.
As for Ali Jinnah’s present opponent, Gandhi, the great Mahatma, it can be said that at the beginning of 1947, he encountered trouble that he had not encountered before. The British were ready to leave, yes, but the British also, because they had decided to let go of many of their previous considerations, had many chances to pinch Gandhi, and it was not difficult at all in terms of means.
Only Gandhi before the establishment of the persona, so that the British Empire can not help, fear really get Gandhi dead, intensify the conflict in British India, but now it, has determined to pull out of the British Empire, no longer care.
Before to Gandhi and the Congress Party to beat nor scold nor, now completely liberalized, non-violent non-cooperation effect will be greatly reduced. Gandhi reiterated over and over again that if there had to be partition, it should be after independence was gained.
Let the British withdraw from India first and then let India decide its own destiny. There might be a short period of chaos, which could give India a new exercise, “but the ordeal will purify us.” Now that Gandhi’s voice was not much heeded, the initiative was no longer in his hands.
The initiative was entirely in the hands of the colonial government of British India, and now that even Viceroy Mountbatten, who had given up on an urgent solution, had begun to grind his way out of the problem, what was there to worry about.
The Viceroy’s Office, with the initiative in hand, has entered the most exultant time since the Congress Party became established. The Congress Party is still looking for trouble? We in the British Empire are lucky if we don’t look for trouble.
For Isabella Bogina’s arrival, Sir Barron is also very important, after all, the Heilmann family tobacco factory, but also another part of his income, for this reason, Sir Barron on a heroic face, women’s Dragon Rider, expressed a very great respect.
Urgent people’s urgency, let Bokina do not be embarrassed, as long as the British India can do things, must be fully help.
“Mr. Allen has already helped a great deal.” Bokina smiled, her phoenix eyes glanced at Allen Wilson, “In fact, our family is considered to be the beneficiary of the current Trade Commission’s support program it. This has the help of the British Occupied Territories government, but also can not be separated from the support of British India, for which I am very grateful, to help Britain to achieve the goal, is to help Germany.”
“Sir, it’s all I should do.” In front of Sir Barron, Allen Wilson labored but did not covet the credit, expressing the consciousness that for the sake of the British Empire, even blood and sweat would not be spared, reflecting the excellent quality of imperial civil servants.
With Sir Barron’s approval, this time the purpose of the dragoons was reached, there is no need for Governor Mountbatten to know about it, the Governor is enjoying a pleasant Ceylon vacation, this time is not suitable to disturb.
Alan Wilson, who undertook the reception, slept with the guests who had come to British India, what could be said of this, it was just a way of reflecting Anglo-German intimacy, and it was not expected to be of interest to the readers ……
“I know you are a working woman, but don’t overwork yourself. When this side of British India is finished, I will return to Europe to visit you. Tell Anna that I miss her terribly.”
Allen Wilson still treated the Dragoon Rider well, as he never treated a woman, on the same level of care as a husband. It wasn’t as if there weren’t people who cared from the point of view of a friend, probably about the same number as the former, or perhaps a little more.
After the departure of the Germans his reception was still not complete, for Churchill, having succeeded in getting Governor Mountbatten to recognize reality, returned to New Delhi after spending some time in Ceylon.
Indicating that he was going back home to explain the situation in British India, and indeed at Churchill’s age, it would not be appropriate for him to stay abroad for a long time.
“The future of the country always worries me.” Churchill said to Sir Barron and Alan Wilson, “The greatest threat facing the British Empire in the world today is undoubtedly the Soviet Union.”
Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows as if he heard Churchill’s subdued cry, “From Szczecin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an iron curtain has been drawn across the continent of Europe. Behind this iron curtain lie the capitals of all the ancient countries of Central and Eastern Europe-Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Sofia ……”
“Do you not agree with me?” Churchill looked at the two people in front of him with an expectant gaze, in fact, a trip to British India was not without rewards for Churchill, he found the feeling of being the prime minister here, people from all walks of life have come to the city, more busy than when he was the prime minister, just without the power of the prime minister.
“Huh? Yes, the MP’s words were deafening.” Alan Wilson sided with Churchill in good conscience.
But in his heart he still hoped that Prime Minister Adderley, could stabilize the situation before considering other, as of now Britain owed a debt to the United States of America, its own internal strength is insufficient, jumping too high is really not a good thing.
If the debt-free would be good, then the Cold War and then officially started, the British Empire will have a lot more room for maneuver.
March 15, in British India stayed for two months Churchill, officially embarked on the plane back home.
A quarter of 1947 has passed, for all the civil servants in British India, victory is already within reach, only need to bite the bullet on the line.
Although they still appear to be living and dying with British India, a number of senior civil servants are already making arrangements for their exit. British Malaya is certainly under consideration, but for most of the senior civil servants, the large number of state-owned enterprises generated by the nationalization of the great Prime Minister Sir Adlai seems to be a better place to go.
Just after Governor Mountbatten finished his vacation in April, word came back from Bhutan Sikkim Nepal, very willing to maintain amicable, peaceful relations with what is now British India, the future India, in the presence of the British Empire.
Alan Wilson leaked this response to the newspapers and began to pressurize the Congress Party through public opinion as to exactly what the attitude was and to hurry up and take a stand.
