Chapter 178 The Land of Dreams

"Go to British India?" Margaret was startled, but said on the verge of her words, "Then congratulations, a very relaxed working environment, isn't this what many civil servants dream of?"

Didn't even have the slightest hint of retention between the words? Alan Wilson was a little sober when he heard it, and the woman would be obedient after the matter was done. It was limited to the far east, and the free society still didn't care about this. At least Iron Maiden doesn't seem to be affected.

"Actually, I thought, well, I just came here to say hello, there is no other meaning." Alan Wilson opened his mouth and hesitated, "If I can make up for it..."

"There is nothing to make up for, Mr. Allen, it was just a misunderstanding." Margaret said with a frosty face, "I have forgotten it, and I don't want anyone to mention it."

"Well, I hope you won't be affected." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. The run-in plan for domestic cars seemed unfeasible. He thought there would be another face-to-face communication.

But I didn't expect that the Iron Lady would not give a chance at all. Sure enough, the essence of annoying people is innate. Thinking of this, Alan Wilson is a little lucky, and the other party thinks so.

"So, excuse me." Alan Wilson apologized, nodded at the Iron Lady, turned and left the school.

Seeing Alan Wilson turn away, Margaret's gaze followed the back until it disappeared. She took a deep breath, and a few deep breaths suppressed the red eye sockets.

To be honest, this is very immoral, and the behavior of wandering on the edge of the law puts a heavy psychological burden on Alan Wilson. But fortunately, this situation will be alleviated immediately, and the laws of British India are still very loose for the United Kingdom.

Now is the question of taking office. Alan Wilson received a summons from Alexander Cadogan, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who had returned to London. It was a reply to Alan Wilson that he needed the support of elite soldiers.

"On the list, you must apply for a group of diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs to take office together." Alexander Cadogan saw Alan Wilson coming in, and said simply, "I have submitted your application to Sir Edward According to the report, it can be said that Sir Edward has given great support. Recently, Sir Edward is talking with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs about the assessment of the value of the colony, and he can take care of you in his busy schedule. I hope you will not disappoint Sir Edward's expectations."

"Of course, we all know Sir Edward's contribution to this country." Alan Wilson decisively expressed his position of bowing to authority, unaware that the cabinet secretary's information on the value of the colony came from his own hands.

It was also because of the compensatory psychology of the white whoring report that Edward Bridges recognized the manpower needed by Alan Wilson,

All the way to give the green light to Alan Wilson.

"What do you think we should do? Philby? I've already inquired. This matter was personally approved by the cabinet secretary and cannot be changed at all. Are we really going to Southeast Asia?" Guy Burgess drank a glass in distress , complained with alcohol, "We don't know much about the local area, and there doesn't seem to be anything of value in the local area."

"That's right!" Donald McLean was also helpless and could only complain to his old friend.

"Where are you two going? Don't bother complaining." Philby lit a cigarette and looked at his two friends. Once he heard that the decision was made by the cabinet secretary, he knew that it was almost irreversible. .

"British Ceylon, British Burma!" Guy Burgess and Donald McLean blurted out almost simultaneously.

"It seems that the prime minister wants to solve the issue of British India." Philby said helplessly, "The issue of British India is currently the biggest controversial topic in Congress. By the way, this time Alan Wilson returned to the British It belongs to India because of this incident. British Ceylon and British Burma are both in the vicinity of British India, and sending local diplomats there may have considerations for maintaining stability.”

Before the British took over, part of Ceylon was originally a colony of the Netherlands, which was snatched from the Portuguese. Ceylon was on the edge of the Indian subcontinent, but was not part of British India, but was ruled by a British Crown colony directly controlled by London, and had a superior status to the Indian Empire, which was governed by the Viceroy of India.

As for British Burma, it has nothing to do with British India. Although Burma joined British India as a province in a short period of time, the immediate emergence of independence from British India caused London to change its decision and separate Burma from Britain. India broke away.

It was Alan Wilson who brought two of the Cambridge Five to Asia in his report. To put it bluntly, at the Potsdam Conference, Alan Wilson sold much more information than these two spies.

If secrets can be exchanged for military rank, it's fine, Guy Burgess, general! Donald McLean, General! As for Alan Wilson, it has to be the Marshal!

He hoped that the two spies would calm down a bit. Alan Wilson had already betrayed what the two of them wanted to betray. There is no need for these two people to betray some information, so hurry up and cooperate with yourself to contribute to the British Empire, and don't always think about betraying the country.

The two have extensive sympathy for the miserable colony. This time they went to India to work and needed these two sympathetic diplomats to stabilize the situation around India, so Alan Wilson took a drastic step.

In this way, you don't have to stay in London, trying to sell the secrets of the British Empire to the Soviet Union in your spare time. Even if the intelligence of some colonies was betrayed to the Soviet Union by two people, the Soviet Union would not be able to reach it in a short time.

It is a trivial matter to betray the five masters of Cambridge, and Alan Wilson is afraid of being targeted by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs. But keeping two people is not in line with Alan Wilson's patriotism, so he can only throw these two people into the corner, so that they will lose the value of reporting first.

"If I were the cabinet secretary, I would throw all five of you to the United States, one as an ambassador and four as consuls. It would be better to pull out the underpants of the United States, and then the United States will find that you are all shot."

Thinking about it this way, Alan Wilson is not Edward Bridges' character and has to go in a roundabout way. Let the two people leave the positions where they can contact intelligence first.

In November, after being away from British India for more than half a year, Alan Wilson first sent a telegram, and then formally started the journey of returning home with the newly established Indian affairs team. He first took a military plane to the British-occupied area, and then boarded Save time on your flight to Egypt and board the ship from the Suez Canal.

This is already the route for Alan Wilson to make concessions. He originally wanted to take the whole journey by boat. Compared with others, Alan Wilson carried a huge amount of luggage, with a total of five suitcases packed.

Among them are the bank deposit certificates for Sir Barron and the eighteen provincial administrators, except Hyderabad, the bank deposit certificates of the fourteen commissioners, and gifts for Pamela Mountbatten, and the accompanying items of Alan Wilson himself. .

This even caused Guy Burgess to look sideways, "Isn't that a little too exaggerated?"

"I worked in British India, so I know a little bit about the local area." Alan Wilson unhurriedly opened a suitcase, revealing the nylon stockings inside, then closed the suitcase again without changing his expression, and took out a bottle of red wine Changing the subject, "there are still many things worthy of praise in the local area, and Indian movies are very distinctive."

"Really?" Guy Burgess looked with a look that I understand, and he stopped paying attention to the question of why you wear nylon stockings, and asked with a very interested look, "Indian movies are rare, so what's worth it?" Praiseworthy place."

"Singing and dancing clips can be regarded as a feature." Alan Wilson was not affected by the nylon stocking incident at all, and enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of Indian movies to his colleagues.

"Essentially, Indian films are currently under the control of the peace believers. After all, compared with the dark complexion of the Hindus, the peace believers are more suitable for the big screen. The first sound film of Indian movies was called, and then some companies successively invested funds to support sound. The creation of films. Soon the sound films, which integrated traditional music, drama, and dance performances, overwhelmed the silent films by an absolute advantage and quickly became popular all over the country.”

The song and dance segment is aggravated again, because during the war, the control of British India was strengthened. There are no restrictions on musicals, which eventually led to the proliferation of singing and dancing in Indian movies, which became the standard feature in movies.

Allen Wilson popularized the history of Indian film development. Are there too many musicals? How do you look at it?

The rise of Hallyu in the 21st century seems to have conquered all Asian countries, but its presence in India is extremely low. According to Alan Wilson's thinking, Indians who are used to watching every Indian movie can cut out the singing and dancing clips should be immune to the singing and dancing mode.

Maybe, if India wants to imitate singing and dancing groups, maybe it will become the enemy of Hallyu. After all, groups of high castes in India are more likely to be accepted aesthetically.

They are all diplomats going to India, and they are very appreciative of Alan Wilson's introduction to the local area, and they listen with great interest.

"Who do you think Allen prepared so many nylon stockings for?" Donald McClay whispered to Guy Burgess, "You didn't listen to him, many people in India are very in line with men's aesthetics. "

"You are also interested?" Guy Burgess was very surprised, as far as he knew, his friends were not good at this.

"I'm just curious!" Donald McClay denied, even angry at being suspected.

After crossing the warm Indian Ocean, you can see the land of dreams. As time passed, Alan Wilson not only did not feel depressed because of the boredom of the long voyage, but became more and more energetic.

Finally, the outline of the coastline of Mumbai was vividly seen. Alan Wilson looked up into the distance, his eyes full of affection, "I understand Columbus's feelings back then."
