Chapter 213 Starting From Ceylon
The confirmation of this private guarantee also caused a burst of applause in the Governor's Palace. The Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, Persick Lawrence, was finally able to fulfill his duties and returned to London with the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of Commerce.
Sir Baron's applause was absolutely sincere, and there was nothing more gratifying than the departure of his immediate boss.
The happy life of civil servants in British India is based on the absence of ministers.
Next, the cabinet mission will say that it has fully met with the various forces in British India, and is now returning to London with the opinions of these parties.
However, Sir Barron felt sad in his short-lived happiness. This was seen by Alan Wilson who was on the side, and asked if there was something wrong.
"Alan, although this is a good thing, it also proves that our good days are not long." Sir Barron said with nostalgia, "Maybe there is no place like British India that can accommodate ten people." Thousands of civil servants working for the country."
"Eh!" Alan Wilson didn't know this interface. He had to agree with Sir Barron's view that there really was no such place other than British India. It was nothing more than a series of mergers of British Africa.
"Alan, you are well aware that government departments must have some way of measuring their success. British companies measure their success by their profits, or, more accurately, their failures by their losses. We have no profits , and there is nothing to lose, our achievements are measured by the number of employees and the size of the budget."
The budget is also rich, but the mainland has no money, so we can only find a way from the colonies. Allen Wilson can only hope that the Japanese prisoners of war in Malaya will show their subjective initiative and build up acceptable hardware facilities first. With these hardware facilities, are they afraid that there will be not enough people?
Although the total population of British Malaya is only about 5 million, but China in the north and Indonesia in the south, where is the lack of people? A slight deregulation is the influx of immigrants.
The budget is really helpless, and the United States is indeed strong now, and it has been confirmed through the Breston Forest system.
But with the Breston Woods system, it does not mean that the US dollar cannot be resisted. The US dollar has this status. In the final analysis, it is bound to gold to have this value. That is, the Braston Forest system is also based on the value of gold.
This is not the same thing as petrodollars, other currencies are exchanged for dollars for gold, not for that paper money.
In the Breston system, if an American travels to other countries, he also needs to exchange the currencies of other countries. When going to the United Kingdom, he will exchange for pounds, for France, he will exchange for francs, and for Germany, he will exchange for marks.
In the Breston Woods system, the United States also needs to maintain foreign exchange reserves, and it is much larger than the symbolic ratio after the emergence of petrodollars. The currencies of European countries all have monetary value.
Because these countries also use gold as currency credit, they can also be exchanged for gold at any time.
The Breston Woods system has determined the status of the US dollar as a world currency, but it also checks and balances the US dollar.
It really makes the currencies of other countries unable to compete with the U.S. dollar, or after the emergence of the petrodollar, it completely turned the U.S. dollar into a sharp harvesting tool, constantly shearing sheep all over the world. But that was already the seventies!
It also depends on whether the British Empire can be restored. If not, everything is nonsense. If you can still maintain a good strength, who said that the British Empire can't teach Nizi a lesson?
Alan Wilson didn't know that his mother-in-law's family had already wandered in the British-occupied area of Germany. According to the plan he gave Pamela Mountbatten, they were buying German companies during the war.
If Assistant Allen knew, he might be anxious not to let the two dragoons and the mother-in-law's family run into each other.
But now he has a serious face, and all the civil servants of the Governor's Palace lined up, with a serious face and a happy heart to send off the cabinet mission to leave New Delhi and return to the mainland. That's where the minister should stay.
Until the three cabinet ministers leave the Governor's Palace,
The crowd dispersed in a hurry and began to busy themselves with their own affairs. It was obvious that people left to cool off the tea, but the ministers should have nothing to complain about, the political achievements have been given to them. With the influx of money, Prime Minister Attlee wouldn't blame them.
Now, everyone can put their hearts back into their stomachs and start to get down to business. The first business is the announcement of the establishment of the British Indian Film Actors Association.
The report pointed out that Indian film is still in its infancy, and there are still many things to learn from advanced international experience. Therefore, under the democratic principles of openness, fairness and justice, British actor Vivien Leigh was selected as the honorary president of the British Indian Film Actors Association.
There will be no president in a short period of time, and six vice presidents will be set up to handle the affairs of the association, but they must be checked by the commissioner appointed by the Governor's Mansion, that is, Alan Wilson himself, to prevent actors with dangerous thoughts from mixing into it.
As a commissioner of the British Indian Film Actors Association, no one competed with Alan Wilson for this position. In the final analysis, the oil and water are very limited. The current British Indian civil servants have no time to think about bullshit love stories. They all want to make money.
Moreover, civil servants do not need to be famous. Unlike ministers, the lower the presence of civil servants, the better. This is a common rule in the world. Becoming a commissioner of this private association may increase exposure, which must be avoided as much as possible.
Vivien Leigh, who was working as an Indian daughter in Chennai, confirmed the news from Alyssa's mouth. The stone fell to the ground in her heart. She gave her body just for this result, but it's not a loss, that guy Allen is still quite good Enthusiastic.
"Miss Vivienne, I want you to participate in the shooting of a documentary for a while, and you may not be able to leave India yet." Alyssa looked at the absent-minded Vivien Leigh and said, "The film is supported by the Governor's Office of India. The glorious image in front of me was specifically explained by the assistant commissioner."
"I'm ready." Vivien Leigh raised her head slightly, expressing that she was waiting for that day to come.
Whether you can transform from a famous actor to a famous female image depends on this time. This is why Vivien Leigh traveled across the ocean to British India. In order to make this dream come true, she even opened her legs to a boy.
The other party concerned is dealing with the clean India campaign that the Minister of Indian Affairs is most concerned about. "After calculating the time, the minister should have arrived in the Arabian Sea. We can also think about it and deal with matters that judicial officials are very concerned about. Now everyone Gearing up, eager to try, wanting to bring fairness and justice to the world."
The Supreme Court of British India, Chief Justice Clark, came to the Governor's Mansion with a compassionate expression but had to calm down the evils of the world, and talked with Sir Barron about the importance of clarifying the rule of law.
"Call Allen over here." Sir Barron picked up the phone and directed the secretary in the reception room opposite the microphone.
After a while, Alan Wilson came to Sir Barron's office, greeted Chief Judge Clark, and already had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
Clark quickly confirmed Alan Wilson's premonition. Now that the ministers have left, everyone should do something serious, such as fulfilling the previous promise and letting judicial officials join the last supper.
"If you do it rashly, the Ken side will cause a certain backlash." Seeing Clark's slightly changed face, Alan Wilson immediately changed the subject, "Judge Clark, I just want to increase the success rate. I thought of a place that can be more logical We can shirk our responsibilities, and at the same time transfer conflicts."
"Where?" Clark asked patiently. He thought that these despicable administrative officials had changed their minds and were going to leave the judicial officials aside to eat alone.
"The British Ceylon where Commissioner McLean is located, 70% of the population of British Ceylon is Buddhist, so that the majority of Hindus will not be offended, and the matter is completely within the controllable range. Once the dirty facts of the Hindu temple It was exposed. If there is controversy, we take advantage of the trend and act in British India, so that even the National Congress Party cannot openly trouble us. In this way, we can not only maintain justice, but also avoid trouble.”
"The most important thing is that the risks belong to British Ceylon. Even if the Indians want to get angry, there is nothing we can do about it." Sir Baron added, "If you are hostile to Ceylon because of this, then Great, Ceylon needs the protection of the British Empire. The location of British Ceylon can be regarded as an excellent location to monitor the entire Indian Ocean."
Clark thought for a moment and nodded, "But hurry up, judicial officials can't wait to bring justice."
"There is no problem with this. I will send a telegram to McLean immediately." Alan Wilson nodded happily.
At this time, it is indispensable to make use of the Cambridge Five, these idealists with a sense of justice. It's not that these people can't coexist, it all depends on how they are used.
For example, taking this incident as an example, several people in the Governor's Office of India know that this is a campaign to use justice to make judicial officials make money. As for whether it can change the social atmosphere in India, no one cares about such trivial matters.
But it’s different for British Ceylon, and it’s even more different for Donald McLean. This person who believes that social fairness must be corrected and has turned to the Soviet Union, if he knows that there are such things in Indian temples, anyone will do anything. have no idea.
Whether it is a real idealist or a fake idealist, just look at how Donald McLean, the commissioner of British Ceylon, dealt with the saint in the temple.
While sending a telegram to British Ceylon, Vivien Leigh, who had already made progress, canceled her trip and returned to New Delhi to pick up a new mission from Alan Wilson.
