Chapter 240: Three Party Talks

At the end of the straight avenue of Victoria Palace, at the gate of the Governor's Palace of British India, civil servants lined up, waiting for the leaders of the Congress Party and the Muslim League to arrive.

It can be said to be very courteous, and it is something that has never been seen before. The garden of the Governor's Mansion is full of green grass, the fountain is still spraying water, and a rainbow can be seen under the sun. There is no such thing as the drought that is spreading in British India now. .

"Assistant, are you giving these Indians too much courtesy?" Edel said impatiently.

"There is an American saying that you hold a big stick and smile on your face, and you don't need money for courtesy! You have to bend over to pick up money." Alan Wilson wiped his sweat nonchalantly, and said easily, "This can prove that our governor The government is playing a leading role in fighting the drought. By the way, hide those red wine steaks. When eating at noon, just give two flatbreads to the representatives of the two parties. The biggest thing in British India now is Fighting drought, we can't be too extravagant, can we?"

Alan Wilson gave verbal criticism and education to Edel's capitalistic inferiority of picking up money but thinking of bending over. After talking about this matter, the National Congress Party and the Muslim League left, and Edel had to punish himself with three glasses of reflection at the evening reception.

What time is it, and now hundreds of millions of people in the mainland are facing the threat of famine, and they are still making sarcastic remarks under the bright sky.

Self-punishment of three cups can avoid guilt, but Alan Wilson was not ready to let Edel go so easily, and asked, "Have you replied to Xiangjiang's telegram, and you can't do it, right?"

"It has already been replied to the Xiangjiang Governor's Mansion." Edel replied quickly, "At the same time, he also put forward our suggestion to open the border to accommodate refugees. The Governor of Xiangjiang has changed several times in a year. We contacted through the local commissioner. .”

"That's good. The status of Xiangjiang is special. It is a window. Of course, this window is two-way. At present, the biggest job is to balance the population of the Malayan colonies. After all, the Malays are too close."

British India is unique in the colonial system of the British Empire. It often maintains communication with other colonies. If it were not for this kind of communication, Alan Wilson would not have known that the famine in 1946 also included East Asia.

After questioning, I found out that the situation in East Asia is actually not optimistic. Some disaster victims have entered the Xiangjiang River. If you think about it, the Korean Peninsula and Japan may not be so optimistic.

There is even news of a food crisis in Germany, but Germany is in Europe, where the United States and the Soviet Union focus on pretending to be gentlemen.

In the scope of the second-class East Asia, the situation cannot be better than that of Europe.

Now, it is certain that British Malaya has not been affected by the famine that spread across Eurasia.

At present, the biggest problem in British Malaya is the lack of population. After being slaughtered from Thailand, British Malaya has an area of ​​nearly 500,000 square kilometers and a total population of 6 million.

But next to British Malaya is Java Island, the core of the Dutch East Indies with a population of more than 80 million, and after killing Thailand from the Kra Isthmus, the proportion of ethnic groups in British Malaya became even more unbalanced.

The Kra Isthmus, which borders British Malaya, is inhabited by Malays. It is also a high-incidence area for Thailand's separation movement in later generations. Now a treaty has been directly incorporated into British Malaya, leading to peace in British Malaya. There are more believers.

This is bad news for Alan Wilson, who has a balanced ethnic population.

After getting the news of a famine in East Asia, I thought it was also an opportunity. The Governor-General of New Delhi asked Xiangjiang to open the border from the overall perspective. Ya, there is absolutely room for this group of people.

This morning, Alan Wilson's job was to send a telegram to British Malaya, asking about the difference in the number of the two ethnic groups. And from the perspective of distance, it is very difficult for Malays in the Dutch East Indies to smuggle in. It is beneficial for long-term consideration to stuff more Chinese.

As for the issue of education, the Malayan colonial government should be open and honest, and frankly explain to the Chinese that the Chinese are not part of British Malaya, but an ethnic group that supports the colonial government as an auxiliary force.

Although it doesn't sound good to say, the Chinese in Southeast Asian countries did play this role in the colonial era. As an external force introduced by the colonial government, it assists the colonial government in suppressing local resistance.

Of course, after generations of people have lived from the local area, many people have the illusion that they are the masters of the local area.

Feeling that after independence, you can exercise the rights of the master. From Alan Wilson's point of view, this illusion must be corrected immediately, and the attack must be fast and ruthless.

But to ensure that the illusion will not appear from the root, we still have to start with education. Therefore, teaching materials for the Chinese in British Malaya should clarify the fact that the Chinese are not locals.

From the beginning of education, it is necessary to ensure the guest mentality of the Chinese community, and the UK's goal of not leaving has half the success rate.

The education for the two ethnic groups is naturally a Chinese education and a Malayan education. They cannot learn each other's language, but higher education will add English textbooks, etc...

The time is still long, and Alan Wilson has time to slowly lead the deep changes in Malaya society, first completing the perfect curtain call in British India, the key is that the telegram is not clear, he thinks too much about Malaya.

"When it comes to the issue of the Dutch East Indies, Lord Kierlen is helping the Dutch and mediating with the locals." Naturally, the topic turned to the issue of Southeast Asia, and Edel talked about the current role of Britain in the Dutch-Indian War.

"It will work for the time being. I want a nuclear bomb, and Jakarta has been bombed eight times." Alan Wilson chuckled, and said with a murderous look on his face, "In Brussels, I discussed this issue with the Dutch. The French seem to recognize this point even more by splitting it up and setting an example for the colonies that will later become independent."

The split is also applicable to the current British India. The Lord of Parliament in London is whimsical every day. How can the honorable British Indian civil servants know the local inside information.

The civil servants of the Governor's Office stood at the gate, carrying forward the spirit of the key government, discussing the international situation, and laughing at the fact that the United States was foolish, and when the Soviet Union was less intelligent, the delegations of the Congress Party and the Muslim League had already entered New Delhi, where the British lived.

The British immigrants living in New Delhi also saw this team marching towards the Governor's Palace. Many people were silent, but looked at the team with contemptuous eyes until they disappeared.

It can't be blamed that the Governor's Mansion doesn't arrange a car. Gandhi likes rural life, and this is also for Gandhi's sake.

When the team appeared in front of the Governor's Mansion, Allen Wilson rushed forward with a brisk stride, and took the initiative to hold Gandhi's withered hand with both hands, his face was full of expectations that you can count on it, "Dear Mr. Gandhi, please You come here in person, but for this kind of thing, only you have such prestige in the entire British India, can you get the support of the people of the subcontinent."

"Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Nehru, it's great that you are here." Alan Wilson also did not forget Nehru, the powerful figure of the Congress Party, and Ali Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League, greeted in a respectful tone.

Edel turned his head away and stared at the branches and leaves of the trees planted on the side of the Avenue of the Governor’s Mansion. If his memory is correct, Edel remembered that the assistant commissioner who was mingling with the visitor just said something like bombing eight times...

"It's about the safety of the people in the subcontinent, so I have no reason not to come here as an old man." Gandhi lowered his head slightly, and greeted him in a gentle tone in line with the seemingly wise eyes behind the glasses.

"This is exactly the purpose of our invitation to the Muslim League and the National Congress. At this time, all selfishness should be discarded, and everyone should unite closely together to overcome difficulties." Alan Wilson said with pain and sincerity .

It was like a body protected by the Buddha's light. The Buddha came to the world, and then he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the delegations of the two parties to enter the Governor's Mansion.

Alan Wilson, who is very involved in the play, accompanied Gandhi, Nehru and Ali Jinnah, and introduced the severe test facing British India in a complaining tone.

"What annoys us the most is that many grain merchants in cities took advantage of the famine to hoard and hoard. The responsibility is greater, not the British, "not to mention some anti-British elements, who took the opportunity to burn down the granaries of the United Provinces and wiped out millions of tons of wheat. This loss is too great. The United Provinces belong to the British In the most densely populated part of India, once there is a food shortage, it will be a huge disaster.”

After saying a lot of shirking responsibility and appealing to the unity of the two sects and the two political parties, everyone has already reached the steps of the Governor's Mansion. Sir Barron came late, but he still walked down the steps out of respect. Representatives of the party and the Muslim League welcomed it.

After a few words of pleasantries, everyone formally entered the Governor's Mansion, and the future meeting involving hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent kicked off amid much anticipation.

On the Governor's Mansion of British India, Sir Barron sits in person, and Alan Wilson is one of the attending members.

The Muslim League is headed by the leader Ali Jinnah. On the Congress side, except for Patel on the road to London, the two giants Gandhi and Nehru are there.

Sir Barron started the tripartite talks in a slow and heavy tone. He set the tone for this drought after he said routinely that the granary was burned and profiteers made trouble, "If it is not controlled, this drought will It will far exceed the level of the Great Bengal Famine, and even cause half of the Indian population to starve to death."

Alan Wilson covered his mouth with a heartache. Half of the people were going to starve to death, but in the end, the loss was slight under the strategizing of the Governor's Palace.
