Chapter 6 The Monarch of Hyderabad
“Can’t these South Asian people do something more meaningful?” The speaker, an assistant Alan had recruited from the University of Delhi called Andy, was delivering an arrogant critique of the Sovereign that appeared to be very ? standing and talking.
“Armed fights between pacifists and Hindus have become much more frequent in the last two years, both in Tushita and the Crown Provinces.” Alan put down the cup he was carrying and replied from the perspective of a bystander, “This shows that another round of religious conflict is already brewing, which has a huge relationship with the Indian National Congress Party’s Nehru and PMLN’s leader Ali Jinnah, whose contradictions are getting more and more intense, affecting the two major religions.”
Having said that Alan Wilson kept his mouth shut, which of course has to do with Britain, since the First World War British India has taken the approach of checking the Hindus with the Pacifists. This is because during WWI India supported Britain in the war and was banking on Britain giving India the same status as Canada and Australia.
However, Britain reneged on its word and deliberately elevated the status of the Pacifists in order to quell Indian discontent, not to mention that Churchill, now Prime Minister of the British Empire, was one of the initiators of this strategy.
After a day’s delay, the armageddon had little effect except to allow the crowds to taunt the Indians, the dead were all Indians and they were all British.
After a week’s walking and stopping, the party at last reached the territory of Hyderabad, and by this time the army of the Hyderabad native state, was waiting to receive the new commissioners of Hyderabad.
The two sides of a harmony, like a long time no see old friends, Hyderabad state in South Asia, but the British Empire’s old bandwagon party, lasted more than three hundred years of cooperative relations, laid the birth of British India.
“Honorable gentleman, you and your assistants are so young, it is really surprising. Not surprisingly, we will have a lasting relationship.” Ali Khan’s son smiled in friendship after introducing himself.
“I hope so!” Alan Wilson spoke equally very politely, as if he didn’t know that the other party’s good times were only three years at best, creating a cloud of harmony with the people who greeted him.
From the Maratha War to the Indian Uprising, Alan Wilson had tried his best to create an atmosphere of good relations between Britain and the successive rulers of Hyderabad, and come to think of it, he had done nothing on his first day in the city of Hyderabad, except to blow each other off.
The wars that were going on all over the world were as if they had no relevance in the landed state that had been going on for more than two hundred years.
It was only after taking over the Hyderabad British Agency that Allen realized something and had to reassess the status of the Hyderabad Tupa, that Hyderabad had direct access to the Indian Affairs Department in London.
The Ministry of Indian Affairs is an important department in Britain, accepting the leadership of the Secretary of State for India, after all, British India is extremely important to the British Empire’s world hegemony, Britain because of India’s security problems, carried out a number of military operations. And in many of these military operations, the Hyderabad state had contributed troops to assist.
But in this world war, Hyderabad did not contribute much, and the reason was very simple. Hyderabad’s allies and their role was mainly internal to British India. That is, what civil unrest in South Asia, only to reflect the value of the present Hyderabad, let it play the role of the Belt and Road Party, like the World War, the threat of the Japanese army to British India, no Hyderabad Tupa played a role.
I did not realize that Hyderabad can directly contact the London side, knowing this, Alan Wilson got in touch with the London side through the telegraph here, indicating that he, the Commissioner of Hyderabad, has arrived, return as well as at the same time to ask for instructions on the work.
“Is a mature civil service a good thing or a bad thing?” Look at the London side no less than eight-legged return telegram, Alan Wilson’s mouth can not help but twitch, because British India is so important to the United Kingdom, in the issue of India, my Great Britain has its own national conditions here, can manage India’s department is not one or two, there is the objective fact of cross-management.
At present, there is the Governor-General’s Office of India, the military governor of the Southeast Asian theater of operations, as well as the Ministry of Indian Affairs, can speak to the matter of British India, has penetrated the British Empire civil servants within Alan Wilson, know that the so-called British civil service is farting, in addition to the time of the collection of taxes, there is no time to be called efficient.
In the evening, in the area of Hyderabad belonging to the British settlement, came a local soldier of the Turkish state, saw Allen Wilson directly single-handedly said, “Mr. Allen, our Maharaja Ali Khan will receive you tomorrow, I came to inform.”
“Please reply, Allen will be on time tomorrow.” Learning of the other party’s intention, Allen Wilson immediately put away the irritation in his heart and replied calmly, “Building a bridge between Hyderabad and London is in itself something the commissioner should do.”
This was said in a righteous manner, as if it really seemed like such a thing, as for the purpose of the monarch of Hyderabad there is no need to guess, when they meet each other will naturally say.
The Hyderabad soil state is almost the same area as the mainland of England, the population is estimated to be twenty million, although the monarch Mir Osman Ali Khan gives a kind of miserly wind comment, but as the monarch of this soil state, he lives in a palace that completely reflects the authority of the king of a country, the palace is extremely large, with a Middle Eastern style.
In the servant’s lead, Alan Wilson through the garden in the palace, under the attention of many guards, came to the palace, in the process, he just vaguely heard the sound of chanting, flabbergasted for a moment to understand, Mir Othman Ali Khan is a pacifist, should have just done worship.
Alan Wilson then met with Mir Osman Ali Khan, currently the largest monarch in South Asia, at the palace.
Mir Osman Ali Khan himself was short in stature, with a moustache under his nose, and to be honest was somewhat similar to the Führer of the Third Reich, as a monarch he was more like a bottom peasant than the most powerful monarch in South Asia.
At the same time Alan Wilson was looking at the other, Mir Osman Ali Khan was also looking at this new commissioner of Hyderabad, his eyes narrowing slightly for a moment as he surveyed the situation, and spoke, “Surprisingly young, I believe that New Delhi also values you very highly.”
How about valuing gold! Alan Wilson laughed in his heart, if not after he arrived in India, leapfrogging the old Wilson to dig the Indian gold temple, which has the capital to impress Sir Barron?
“Always have to have a certain ability to work, otherwise Governor Weaver and Sir Barron, will not hastily send me over to come to you.” Alan Wilson slightly paused and softly said, “It’s like something like money, everyone wants to have it, but the ultimate truth is that some people have it and some people don’t.”
