Chapter 1420 Human Rights Are Greater than Sovereignty

Palden put his hands on his waist, as if he had never felt so confident before, "I am the High Commissioner of the United Kingdom and the Ambassador of the United States. Two powerful countries serve me alone. Isn't this a small blessing?"

At the Royal Palace of Sikkim, the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes on both sides complement each other. David straightened his clothes and waved to Mason, the US Ambassador who had just been promoted quickly, and held hands representing the two countries tightly.

"It is a small country with beautiful scenery." Mason has a good impression of Sikkim. It is not that simple to move from a diplomat to the position of ambassador. In addition to the most important connections, a series of coincidences are also needed. Obviously, Sikkim helped him complete this critical step.

"It is still an extremely important small country." David followed the words and said, "Some countries have strategic value even if they are small in area."

Hearing this sentence, the two laughed heartily at the same time. They both understood the value of Sikkim tacitly. Even if there is an American soldier in Sikkim, the fragile Siliguri Corridor will be threatened.

At this time, Sikkim, with a population of less than 100,000, had one company of British airborne troops and one company of US Marines. Although the total number was only a few hundred, they represented two countries that India could not face.

The news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and Sikkim is a wake-up call for India, which is in a state of complacency. India is not unaware of the fragility of the Siliguri Corridor, but the British's behind-the-scenes operations before leaving caused India to lose control of Sikkim and Bhutan. They want to penetrate the three Himalayan countries but are always unable to do so. Now the Americans have also come in.

All of a sudden, the victory over the old enemy Pakistan was diluted a lot. India's troubles were the Indians' business. In London, Alan Wilson had his own affairs. He was accompanied by Commonwealth Secretary-General John Hunt and the cabinet. Deputy Secretary Burke Trend.

The relationship between Burke Trend and Alan Wilson was very delicate in the early days. After all, Alan Wilson almost stepped on his head and took a position of supreme authority. No one could accept it for a while.

However, since Burke Trend’s tens of billions of pounds of British Prosperity Fund, the relationship between the two has improved, and they have worked together to maintain the unity of Whitehall. Only when Whitehall is united can the UK be good.

After handing each of them a Cuban cigar, Alan Wilson said slowly, "This time the Bengalis suffered greatly, and the whole of Bengal was in ruins. There may even be a famine. Of course, Bengal always There is a famine.”

The reason why there are always famines in Bengal is because the greater Bengal region including Calcutta is the core of British India's rule. When the empire is in trouble, the Bengalis will naturally go first.

Although the two of them had never worked in British India, they had heard about it, and they heard Alan Wilson continue, "John, this time the tragedy of the war must be widely publicized from the Commonwealth countries.

And this is also a good opportunity. The shortfalls in various places must be filled immediately. I gave my colleagues the opportunity to make up for their mistakes. Although my warning turned a deaf ear, Fiji was a high commissioner to see who was willing to travel for the country. "

"I'm afraid the telegram won't work. We should find someone to go there." John Hunter shook his head slightly. "Otherwise, those high commissioners may really turn a deaf ear to our words."

"How about Wick? Let him go and explain things face to face." Burke Trend took the initiative to express his kindness. "The Secretary-General has always been very optimistic about Wick and asked him to meet with the high commissioners from various places. Explain the matter clearly, the value of the materials donated to Bangladesh is not what we say."

"The consumption of 60 million people is very terrifying. Who will investigate? They can't find anything."

John Hunter also agreed, "After the accounts are settled in various places, colleagues can go into battle with ease. In the future, they will work harder to benefit society. Otherwise, it will always be a hidden danger and it will not be good to arouse the vigilance of the cabinet, and we will not always be able to Send someone to check the accounts.”

"We can't check everything, just in case something is found." Alan Wilson nodded and gave the core policy of this donation, "Just treat the past things as if they never happened, but we can't let them go." It goes on like this. This is our money, they take two million, and Whitehall takes one million, do we still need to thank them?"

John Hunter and Dean Rusk were also filled with indignation. The past things had been revealed, but from now on, they should really take good care of their overseas colleagues.

"Wick, bring the documents about the Dhaka massacre. John and Burke are here, and they also want to meet you." Alan Wilson held the phone and put out the Cuban cigar with the other hand.

The Commonwealth is not all newly independent countries that are still controlled by their colleagues or have a lot of influence. There are also wealthy countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as well as countries that are not independent but are obviously proud of themselves in the region. Laiya, Middle Eastern emirates.

Now that the world war has been fought twice, Britain naturally cannot do what it once did. With one order, a quarter of the world will follow Britain's instructions to fight wherever it wants. However, it can still try to leverage some specific circumstances to leverage the situation. Tried.

To put it simply, the United Kingdom is prepared to prostitute 60 million Bangladeshi laborers who are struggling to fill their stomachs, but it does not want to pay any costs, except for de la Rue to print money.

What can be done? The common people of the Commonwealth are left to suffer, and Whitehall is responsible for the infamy. It can also be used to build a clean government. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

A few minutes later, Wick brought over the documents about the Dhaka massacre and the intelligence about the U.S. landing in Sikkim. Alan Wilson was very satisfied. "John and Burke have something to tell you. I will go to the Prime Minister."

The Prime Minister was supposed to be after dinner at this time, and when he arrived, sure enough, Political Secretary Maria Falkender was also there, as expected.

"Secretary-General, you're here, I'll go out first." Maria Falconde said as if she wanted to leave, and was about to leave the Prime Minister's Office.

"There is no need, Maria. These are all open and aboveboard affairs." Alan Wilson shook his head, and then reported with the document, "The war in East Pakistan is over. It can be concluded that this time the India-Pakistan war is generally over. Now There is information that a massacre occurred in Dhaka. Dhaka University was massacred by the Pakistani defenders, but now the Pakistani defenders have surrendered. According to common sense, the Peace Cult community that supports Pakistan should now be bloodyly avenged by the Bangladeshis. "

"When did this happen?" Maria Falconde asked with a raised eyebrow, "Why didn't we get any news at all?"

"It's not that they didn't get the news, it's that reporters who report need to take the overall situation into consideration. The interests of the country should be considered."

Alan Wilson said with a smile, "I suppressed this report, but now that the United States has airborne in Sikkim, we have provided a stepping stone for the United States, and now it is time to handle our own affairs."

"Alan, you are suppressing public opinion by blocking the news of the Dhaka University massacre." Harold Wilson lowered his voice, as if he wanted to remind him of the seriousness of this matter.

"It is appropriate to guide the news in a way that is beneficial to the country. We have done the same on the Irish issue."

Alan Wilson replied flatly, "Based on discussions with colleagues in the Ministry of Finance, we talked about specific operations to save Bangladeshis. Now it seems that there may be a window period in the next few days. If this window period appears. We can Implement it.”

"Suppressing news reports, is this worthy of your conscience?" Maria Falconde frowned, deeply shocked by the actions of the Cabinet Secretary-General.

"Why should I show off my conscience at this critical moment? Maria, I suppressed reports on the Great Famine in India in 1947. If the tragedy of British India had been reported at that time, it would have been very important for us to replace the British The Indian-valued plan is unfavorable and without that money, Britain is likely to have to lose more in the face of US debt collection."

Alan Wilson made an understatement and said in a eloquent tone, "What's more, the suffering of the Bengalis this time was not caused by the British. The Bangladeshis are looking for the murderers to look for the Pakistanis. If that is not enough, India will launch the attack. If we expand the scope and look for the two permanent members who support Pakistan, we can’t find it anyway.”

"After the signing of a good treaty between the Soviet Union and India, we discovered that there was a problem with the circulation of pounds in India, so we were prepared to teach India a lesson at the appropriate time."

Alan Wilson produced intelligence on bilateral trade settled in rubles and rupees, a landmark step in India's deep embeddedness in the Soviet economic system. In other words, India violated Nehru's promise that Indian trade after independence would be settled in pounds sterling.

"There is such a thing." Harold Wilson was shocked. After all, it had only been four months since the Indus Soviet Union signed a friendship treaty, and many things were still unclear.

The Prime Minister was surprised in part because Whitehall noticed the problem so quickly, while he, the Prime Minister, knew nothing.

"We have just discovered it. What if London pretends it has never been discovered? Maybe it will be despised by New Delhi? Just as in the previous discussion, the United Kingdom has already made preparations to intervene in the India-Pakistan war. Prime Minister."

Alan Wilson expressed respect for democracy and then gave an excuse to intervene, "The British Empire must be held responsible for the humanitarian disasters in its former colonies, whether it was the massacre of Bengalis by Pakistan or the subsequent destruction of Bengal by Indian troops. People have caused serious suffering, human rights are greater than sovereignty, and British troops must intervene immediately.”

"In the process of intervention, by calling the Commonwealth to pay attention to the suffering of Bangladesh and calling for a fundraising operation, it is best to reduce the cost of British intervention. Of course, all such costs will be paid back by Bangladeshis in the end. This cannot be compromise."
