Chapter 348 Successful Progress

At present the British Empire’s garrison abroad, not only have, but also quite a lot of it, not counting the garrison in the British-occupied areas of Europe.

In the present British India is not independent now, foreign garrison is mainly concentrated in three places, the strength of the Suez Canal, British India and British Malaya in turn, the number of garrison were 80,000, 60,000 and 40,000 respectively.

Of these, the 40,000 garrison in British Malaya was in fact part of the previous 100,000 garrison in British India. Britain certainly had garrisons in the Persian Gulf region, but they were negligible compared to the three places mentioned above.

Alan Wilson felt that the garrison withdrawn from British India could be dispersed to Malaya and the Persian Gulf, and it was always good to strengthen the presence in the Persian Gulf, and it could be avoided to be suspected by the Soviet Union, because in the Middle East, the influence of the British Empire just includes Iran, but is definitely not limited to Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, and even Saudi Arabia, the share of the oil has a share of the British company, in fact, the situation in Iran is just one of them.

The withdrawal of the British forces in India will certainly not be all cut off, the separation of the British forces in India, the place, must focus on the consideration.

The economic development of the British Empire can not be separated from Asia, less resource support from Asia, the British Empire will not be able to develop. For the sake of Britain’s interests, Britain must master the Suez Canal at all costs – the waterway that is the shortest voyage for Britain.

Britain wanted British control of the Suez Canal. In this way, the Strait of Gibraltar, the western outlet of the Mediterranean, and the Suez Canal, the eastern outlet of the Mediterranean, would be under British control, and the Mediterranean Sea would be turned into a British inland lake.

But in Alan Wilson’s view, the Persian Gulf was also very important, and the matter of Egypt was not entirely without solution.

There were still the Copts to be utilized, and now that there were still ten years to go before the Suez Canal War, there were still many remedies.

He could get Portugal to bring in the Pacifists and create a protective layer to shield Goa from Hindu infiltration. It is perfectly possible for the Copts to get out a protective layer on both sides of the Suez Canal, too.

There is still plenty of time to forget about the Suez Canal for now, still the Persian Gulf is more important in the middle of Alan Wilson’s telegram.

Telegram to London reasonable explanation is that the Persian Gulf is not far from India, once the independence of India and Pakistan after the fight, the British troops in the Persian Gulf can quickly play a role.

Moreover, the Persian Gulf also has a local Indian community, British India is the highest status of the colony in addition to the white autonomous territories, this is absolutely not nonsense.

Of course from the moment British India became independent, the status of the Hindus ceased to exist, and in the future, they would only be killed, for example, in order to prove to the Copts that the Pacifists would cleanse them, the Christians, after the independence of Egypt.

How to prove this? Just saying it certainly won’t do it, it needs the Pacifists to actually do it, then the role of the Hindu community in the Middle East comes into play. Proving this to the Copts with a blood bath of the Hindu community couldn’t be better.

The aspect of provoking conflict, which Alan Wilson had already learned the fine art of in the midst of his work experience in British India, was to say that the Copts were essentially the direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians were the oldest people on the African continent and had created a glorious culture. Their birthplace was the Middle Nile.

And the Pacifists are descended from the Arabs, Egypt itself was a Coptic country, the present Egypt has no business being called Egypt, it was the Arabs who invaded the country of them, the descendants of the Ancient Egyptians, how simple.

The Copts made up about one-sixth to one-fifth of the population of Egypt, certainly not like British India where the Pacifists made up more than one-fourth of the entire population, but definitely in a position to be partitioned, and if the work of British India could be a useful experience for the British Empire, then since British India could be partitioned, Egypt could be partitioned as well.

I don’t know if any British person in history thought of this, but it doesn’t matter, Alan Wilson thought of it, not only thought of it, but also said it inside the telegram.

If the rule in Egypt could not be maintained, then it was natural to follow, the experience of the partition of British India.

Separate the banks of the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula, from the hands of Egypt.

The present population of Egypt is sixteen million, on the life of the Egyptians living along the Nile, it is very convenient to count, Allen Wilson even if there are still missing, counting the present Egypt has twenty million people.

Three or four million Copts are also there, so that the Suez Canal to support three or four million Copts, certainly much easier than to support the Egyptians.

The independent Copts must have faced hostility from the Egyptians, and then the British army could have relied on them in the meantime.

Though it is a bit wishful thinking to envision it this way, it may not be impossible to succeed if one starts working in this direction from now on, the first prerequisite being that once British India becomes independent, India and Pakistan should fight, and in the process, let the pacifists in the Middle East bloodily wash the Hindu community.

Provoke the pacifists to the hostility of the Hindus, kill the Hindus to honor the Copts, while sending telegrams, Alan Wilson himself felt that what the prime minister is a figure of joy, he is the most suitable person to lead the British Empire.

“I knew you were here?” The door to the telegraph room was pushed open and Pamela Mountbatten’s head poked in with a look on her face that I didn’t expect, “Where are you sending the telegram to?”

“London, Whitehall!” Allen Wilson breathed a sigh of relief to calm his shocked heart, not stopping with his hands, he continued to do his own bounty, and to the man’s explanation, Pamela Mountbatten believed it unconditionally.

Because she has seen, Allen Wilson in front of the paper has a sea of content, this man is like this, once there is an important thing, telegraph hate to send over a book.

With this preparation, Pamela Mountbatten came right in and sat down to wait for Allen Wilson to finish the matter.

Good long time! Allen Wilson stretched himself, let out a long breath to relieve his fatigue, and then cocked his head head.

Pamela Mountbatten understood and said directly, “I talked to mother about what’s going on between us, and she asked me if I’d get engaged here or back in London?”

“Can you stay in London this month?” Alan Wilson frowned; it was almost the time of year when Misty City could show the most grace.

He was in a hurry! Pamela Mountbatten was so happy in her heart that she could not even speak a little, “Are you in such a hurry that you want to get things settled here.”

God’s conscience, Allen Wilson really did not mean this, is simply think that now London is really bad air.

But look at Pamela Mountbatten joy on the eyebrow, with the ability to see a needle in the eye he flopped down directly on one knee, with a deep feeling of grasping the girl’s small hand, rubbing his face, “I can’t wait for a moment ……”

“Originally parents want to go out and around as we do, now there is again busy.” Pamela Mountbatten was a little embarrassed, “Then I’ll discuss it with my parents and get engaged at the Governor’s Mansion.”

As long as someone else wasn’t entertaining the Mountbattens, it was the Mountbattens who were entertaining someone else. This is not an overstatement at all.

From the time it became clear that the matter of British India was not to be settled in a short time, Mountbatten had thought it over, and in the ten months from the beginning of the year to the present time the expenses of the Viceroy’s House had skyrocketed, and, according to an incomplete count, the number of guests who had attended Mountbatten’s luncheon times had been in the neighborhood of five thousand, and there had been six thousand at the Viceroy’s House dinner.

This did not include the staff of the Viceroy’s House, but was entirely made up of guests from India who came to the Viceroy’s House.

Earlier when Sir Barron and Alan Wilson were presiding, it was felt that the two of them had been considered excessive. Now take a look at the civil servants are also just a figure of fun, really liberalized, the aristocracy is higher than the civil servants do not know where to go.

Not counting the luncheon and dinner, twenty thousand people toured the Governor’s House, because Mountbatten stipulated that the Governor’s House should hold two garden tours per week, a luncheon with no less than thirty participants on alternate days, and on the days between, a large dinner. This simply means that a week’s schedule is filled with either luncheons or dinners.

Moreover, he claimed that the doors of the Viceroy’s House were open to all sections of Indian society who had never been inside the Viceroy’s House, and that at present fifteen thousand visits to the Viceroy’s House had been made by all sections of Indian people.

Such was the behavior of the Viceroy that both Sir Barron and Alan Wilson had the illusion that the two were in fact quite parsimonious.

In the afternoon hours, a sort of limited free time for Viceroy Mountbatten, Alan Wilson pretended to be very confined as he sat in front of the Viceroy and his wife, the day coinciding with the hosting of a luncheon, meaning that there was nothing much going on in the evening.

Being poked by his wife Edwina Ashley, Mountbatten only coughed softly and said, “Allen, you and Pamela’s relationship I have long ago said not to ask questions, along the way your relationship has been very stable, my feelings are quite mixed, but also to express good wishes, you are the most able to feel, Pamela is very much in love with you.”

“I can feel it and am grateful in my heart to God for this love.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to show his loyalty, and though he was an atheist, who knew if he didn’t?

“It’s come to this, then an engagement ceremony is in order.” Edwina Ashley spoke up with a smile, “Louis and I were also betrothed in New Delhi in the first place, so it seems that our family and British India are kinda related.”

“I’m totally fine with that.” Alan Wilson had an excited look on his face, just like a pig that eagerly wanted to arch a cabbage.

This look made Governor Mountbatten cloying in his heart, completely disregarding the fact that back then, he was also in British India, calling Edwina Ashley out of the country, and being won over by him in an unfamiliar place.

People are so double standard, Allen Wilson can not do so, he Mountbatten do so, line!

Allen Wilson to today, finally hit a pass, finally with the heart of progress, successful progress. Then came the discussion of the day of the engagement and the guests to be invited.
