Chapter 1426 Gathering the Old Troops
As for the next step, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has arranged for Rahman to accept an exclusive interview and tell his story, although most British people may not care much about it.
There is also another purpose, as the leader of a country that was once separated from British India, to say something that the British like to hear, and the British government, especially Alan Wilson, likes to hear.
"In fact, the differences between Nehru and Jinnah's demands for independence were the root cause of the partition of India and Pakistan. Among them were the Hindu hardliners and the Muslim League's demand for separation at that time. From the perspective of Bengalis, we I don’t want to separate the two countries. I am not saying this now to be dissatisfied with the leaders at the time.”
While shaking his wine glass, Alan Wilson was quite satisfied with Rahman's performance during the exclusive interview on TV. The partition of India and Pakistan has always been considered by countries under the Soviet system as a deliberate move by the British to create conflict.
If Britain really did this, then Britain could at best ignore these accusations, but Alan Wilson knew clearly that neither the government at the time nor Mountbatten himself was interested in partition.
Partition is also not in line with the British tradition of managing colonies. It was clear that Nehru and Jinnah couldn't reach an agreement and had to separate. Now, decades have passed, and the British are still being held responsible?
Especially since he himself was a colonial official in British India at that time. Britain has always been carrying this blame, which means that his supreme authority also needs a share. How can this be done?
Princess Margaret didn't like hearing her brother-in-law's self-defense. Zheng Benqingyuan said, "I really want to hear that the government and Marshal Mountbatten really don't want partition, but you and your colleagues in British India are very much in favor of it." Partition and rule were planned from the beginning. This scapegoat has nothing to do with Britain, but how could it have nothing to do with you?"
Immediately, Princess Margaret was met with the look of me telling you to mind your own business! Alan Wilson put down his wine glass and put his hand on the thigh of Her Royal Highness the Princess, "Can I change the national policy as an assistant commissioner? The fundamental reason is that Nehru and Jinnah can't come to an agreement. What does it have to do with me? Besides, Historical documents have no practical significance.”
The partition of India and Pakistan has become a foregone conclusion. India and Pakistan have fought three wars. Does it make sense to hold a small bureaucrat like him accountable now?
It is good to rectify the source, but if it is good for me, I will rectify the source. If it is not good for me, I will punish myself with three glasses of wine. At this time, His Royal Highness the Princess made him very dissatisfied. She stretched out her hand to try to see if it was still her own shape. How could she talk like that.
"Okay, I know that all your selfless intentions are for the British Empire." After clamping the culprit hand, Princess Margaret admitted her mistake with a rosy face. Isn't it okay to correct the mistake after you know it?
"With my contribution to the country, it is really sad to bear this kind of distrust." Alan Wilson looked like Prime Minister Cao, clearly trying to support the British family, but he was not understood.
Alan Wilson believes that he has arguably played a greater positive role for Britain than any other British person over the years, but he is misunderstood?
Fortunately, Princess Margaret was still aware of the general situation. After a moment, she lay on the man, as weak as a fish leaving the Thames River, with her red lips slightly open and unable to control herself.
Bangladesh's previous pillar industry was jute. Bangladesh is not the only country that regards it as a pillar industry. India is also a big jute country. It should be the same in a big country at this time. The most common application of jute is to make sacks. It's not that jute has no other uses, but you don't know that its raw material is jute when you see it.
Jute is a natural fiber. If you want to eliminate it, you must make a breakthrough in man-made fiber technology. The world's demand for jute will not decrease for at least ten years.
It takes a long time for jute to be harvested and made into industrial supplies before being shipped to the market. The initial processing alone consumes a lot of labor and time costs. From the harvest to the delivery of jute to the factory in exchange for profit, it takes at least one person. For most farmers, this month has reduced a lot of planting profits.
If you don’t grow enough, you can dry and soak the jute yourself for rough processing.
If you plant too much, you need to hire someone to help, otherwise you won’t be able to keep busy at all. A proper labor-intensive industry. It is indeed very suitable for a small country like Bangladesh, whose largest resource is its people. Not to mention now, fifty years from now this will also be a pillar industry of Bangladesh and an important industry of India.
Now Alan Wilson's idea is to restore the jute industry in Bangladesh as soon as possible and let the locals have something to do first. This industry is already time-consuming and labor-intensive, otherwise a large country would not have immediately eliminated jute cultivation after comparing man-made fibers. , but, national conditions are different, and just because it is not suitable for a certain big country does not mean that it is not suitable for South Asia.
The world's rich and poor are hardly equal, and the earth's temperature is uneven. Countries like Bangladesh have little resources, let alone nothing. Even if Kuwait's resources are given to Bangladesh, nothing will change. Kuwait's population is eight One hundred thousand, Bangladesh's population is 60 million, which is not even an order of magnitude.
The basic conditions are like this. What can we do if we don’t start the jute industry? If there are other ways, the jute textile industry will not be regarded as a pillar industry in the 21st century.
There is another question before Rahman: how to cleverly borrow the British brand to restore the people's livelihood in Bangladesh without provoking India.
"After Rahman goes back, he won't go back on the agreement we agreed to, right?" Although Britain got what it wanted, which can be said to be a great success, John Hunter still showed pessimism.
"My friend, in fact, Bangladesh's independence is detrimental to India in a certain way. Both India and Pakistan are a country formed by the amalgamation of religions. But Bangladesh perfectly conforms to the concept of a nation-state defined by Europe. If India can always Guaranteed smooth sailing, the threat to India is not great. If India itself falls into crisis one day, then maybe. The merger of Bangladesh and West Bengal is not completely impossible."
The area near Calcutta was originally the richest place in South Asia. Otherwise, the British would not have landed from the Ganges Delta and slowly started to invade.
"Will India encounter problems? Is this unlikely?" John Hunter raised his eyebrows, wondering how weak India must be to give Bangladesh a chance.
"Who can say for sure in the future? The bottom line of the plan to rebuild Bangladesh is that the living standard of Bengalis should be higher than the average level of India. Now that Bangladesh has been devastated by war, it is indeed very difficult, but if we extend the time, it will be It’s not that it can’t be done.”
Alan Wilson is still optimistic about the future of Bangladeshis. As he said, there are not many ethnic groups in the world who are hardworking and willing to work hard for the dream of becoming a great nation, but there are many ethnic groups who work hard just to have enough to eat. . Bangladesh fits this perfectly.
Of course, this must be done under the guidance of professionals. Alan Wilson is really too busy to benefit Bangladeshi society personally.
But no matter, he has asked the Home Office to find colleagues who are still alive, living and sweating in British India. British India has been independent for more than 20 years, and many gentlemen must no longer be here. This requires the Ministry of Home Affairs to slowly bring them back.
Only professional colleagues who understand local customs and customs can tap Bangladesh's potential to the greatest extent and put this troubled country back on track.
Recalling colleagues must fully meet two basic requirements. The first point is that the children of the original colleagues are now a humble part of the public servants of society. Only in this way will they consider their children and work hard, otherwise they may not be able to work hard. The second point is that Second, you need to have a reasonably healthy body. After more than 20 years, don’t go to South Asia and never come back. This is not good.
While Bangladesh Awami League leader Rehman was on his second mission, visiting New Delhi to meet with Indira Gandhi, London also began to exert its residual heat of the recall.
A lively concert is being held in London's Hyde Park. A large number of audiences can't help themselves in the music. The world is like this. Some people are hungry, while others are singing and dancing. I wonder if the citizens of London have forgotten the tragic Bangladesh at this time. people.
The most eye-catching thing is a pair of youthful twin sisters whose beautiful singing voices make people fascinated. The new song "rllinginheeep" is even more mesmerizing.
rllinginheeep is Adele's classic song, but as long as the supreme authority doesn't say it, who knows?
Listening to the people around him praising the two sisters Isabella Ista, David's face was very calm. He raised his wrist to check the time, waiting for the end of the concert.
"These two girls are the most popular singers in Europe right now. I don't know who their mother is, who could give birth to such beautiful angels."
This sentence made David raise his eyebrows and thought, "Of course, you can't imagine how happy dad is." When the sisters' song ended, David walked in one direction and waited for the two sisters to come out.
Not long after, the two sisters Isabella Ista came together, greeted David politely, nodded to each other, and left Hyde Park together.
"Let's meet at Hoxon Manor. Many of us are familiar faces. This is also for the reconstruction of Bangladesh. We are all so familiar." Alan Wilson said weakly, yawning.
"Then I will inform them like this. But if the Secretary-General is sick, he should pay more attention to rest." Brest expressed his concern for the supreme authority on the phone.
"Get more rest, um, actually I want to." Alan Wilson agreed absentmindedly, glancing at the ladies on the left and right who had the same status as his wife. Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman also looked back at him without realizing it. , it seems that consensus cannot be reached on this issue for the time being.
