Chapter 74 More Solutions Than Difficulties
If it could be done, Alan Wilson believed that German workers, whose labor costs had fallen almost to near-zero, and British India, itself a colony of the British Empire, could help Britain itself out of the depression quickly.
Indeed in the two years following the war, the Americans also saw no need for aid to Europe; Britain and France had huge colonies to help them recover, and there was a window of at least two years to allow Britain to rely on its own strength to determine the future.
The Americans were good at taking money and not paying it back, and once they took the hot dollars, there might be huge fallout in the future.
The key question now is whether or not the German British Occupation can be a supplement to British industry, partially making up for the already damaged industry on the mainland and providing the extra impetus to drive the colonies to complete the cycle.
If Alan Wilson had been George VI, he might have just announced that the German British-occupied territories would be directly incorporated into Britain. In any case, the British-occupied territories overlapped with some of the British Crown Dependencies in the first place.
He was a Hyderabad commissioner, and after arriving in Europe, he was almost on his feet, constantly traveling all over Europe. Rescuing French women, persuading Yugoslav refugees, restoring order in the British Occupied Territories, and even preparing for the Potsdam Conference.
Allen Wilson rushed back to Berlin on the road, the Moscow side is still studying the Moscow, Berlin at the same time to hold a victory parade, and the distant South Asian subcontinent, New Delhi, British India Viceroyalty, Sir Barron will be seventeen Crown Provinces Administrators and the major state commissioners of the soil called over to announce that, “At present the home front because of the British Occupation of the operation of the British Occupation Zone, resulting in a sharp increase in expenditure, the need to British India to contribute to the British Empire as a whole.”
“After the surrender of Germany and with the cooperation of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, the surrender of Japan is not far off. Support for the war in Southeast Asia can be slightly reduced, and now concentrate on getting support for Europe right. Taxes in British India will have to be raised a little more this year, gentlemen, it’s up to you, make good use of your contacts, whether it’s the PML-N or the Congress, or the Maharajahs of the Tirthankars in various parts of the country, let’s be conciliatory and be assured that the difficulties are all temporary.”
“Sir Barron, in fact, as things stand, the burden on British India is great. But the whole of Burma has almost been recovered, and we can think of a way out of it. In fact, we all know that Burma has a good climate and its per capita resources are not so stretched as on the Indian side, and the matter of support for the homeland is more power in one more place.”
Bengal high ranking official Burke opened his mouth in a slow tone, Sir Barron nodded his head to approve the suggestion, “Isn’t there a prisoner of the Indian National Army, for the time being, let them pay for their treachery, why not use the free labor? Leave them in the care of the native Burmese and I’m sure they’ll be energized.”
“Harry!” Then naming the Administrator of Punjab, Sir Baron said expressionlessly, “Punjab is the breadbasket of British India and is rarely affected by natural disasters, you as the Administrator of Punjab will have to take more pains in this matter.”
“Sir, the religious environment in Punjab is very complex.” Harry, the administrator of Punjab, smiled bitterly, “Some unexpected difficulties may arise.”
“For places with complex religious situations, we have never followed certain rules to do things, pulling in the minority to check the majority, and dealing with them differently in different places. The Pacifists are a minority in the whole of British India, but an absolute majority in the Punjab, and the climate of the Punjab makes it rare to be affected by the weather there, and now the question of food is very important for Europe.”
“So in Punjab specifically, we have to ensure the rights of the majority and turn a blind eye to certain brutality, some sacrifices are necessary and unjustifiable to achieve our goals. It doesn’t matter if the locals don’t understand us, as long as the native British citizens do.”
“Ah!” Punjab Administrator Harry savored, Sir Barron’s words meant that stirring up ethnic relations was also a technical job, although in most places the Viceroyalty was liaising with the Pacifists to check and balance the Hindus, in the Punjab it could not be done, uniting with the Pacifists was the proper thing to do, figured this out before saying dryly, “Understood. ”
“That is why there are always more ways than difficulties. We’re working in the most important colony in the British Empire, and there are times when a few variations are needed.” Sir Barron followed up, “I believe that the subcontinent will have a good climate next year, and drought won’t come two years in a row.”
Subliminally, Sir Barron had hinted to these administrators arriving in New Delhi to get the job done even if they had to scrape the ground.
“No problem!” In the midst of the office of the Viceroy’s Permanent Undersecretary, administrators from all over the country spoke in unison.
On June 20, the Viceroyalty of British India issued an executive order that in order to completely defeat the Axis Powers and restore normal economic life to British India as soon as possible, British India must overcome temporary difficulties and do its utmost to volunteer for the war.
After the executive order was issued, from the Indus River to the Ganges River, from the Himalayas to the Deccan Plateau, the provincial administrators and the commissioners of the native states, have taken action. Digging in the richest colonies of the British Empire!
And on the other side of the earth Alan Wilson, still thinking about their own comparable to the United States Marshall Plan and the Soviet Union Molotov plan Wilson plan it, the United States and the Soviet Union a rich, a administrative strength.
The British Empire now only has a massive population and vast colonies, and it is now certain that with the industrial capacity of the British mainland, driving the huge colonies has been somewhat underpowered.
“Allen, are you tired from being busy.” Ivor saw just returned to Berlin Allen Wilson out of focus, with goodwill reminded, “in fact, there is no need to be so nervous, you are always in the middle of busy, but also fortunately young.”
“It’s nothing! The situation in the British-occupied areas is really not optimistic.” Reaching out to rub his swollen face, Alan Wilson recovered a little bit of spirit, raised his wrist to look at the time, and digressed to say, “I also don’t know how well the Soviets are preparing for their military parade.”
“That I don’t know, but there have been a few rehearsals. Some of the troops have been issued new uniforms, and they look pretty bluff.” Ivor was diverted and recounted what he had seen.
“Oh!” Alan Wilson bowed his head, today was the summer solstice on June 21st. According to the previous agreement with Mihailovich, the refugees from the Austrian border would cross the border the night after tomorrow, and should have been known to the generals during the Soviet daytime parade.
What kind of fruit would blossom from this flower of summer would be known by then.
