Chapter 26 Transferring

"Actually, I can understand the protests from the Congress Party, but out of the responsibility of the Hyderabad commissioner and respect for the monarch Ali Khan, I can't stop Hyderabad's enthusiasm for this gathering, and I haven't stopped it at all. reason."

This one-on-one meeting was actually beyond Alan Wilson's expectations, but he quickly cleared up his responsibilities according to the previous explanation, but General Mountbatten's face was playful, with a half-smile expression, as expected It is the Great British Dragon Aotian. Such a calm look made Alan Wilson shut his mouth unconsciously.

"I've heard this kind of words more times than you say." General Mountbatten commented a little funny, "Look at you civil servants, saying these things that no one can understand every day." , and think that he is very smart, but in reality? Hold a meeting for small things, and beat your head for big things."

Mountbatten's sculpted face was covered with immunity to dialogue skills, and then he turned to himself and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that you made your connections to my daughter, which is very surprising. To be honest, I don't know and don't want to know what your purpose is, but now at a critical moment when victory is in sight, there must be no problems in British India, and if there is a problem, the victory may be delayed by one day."

For General Mountbatten, the most important thing now is to win the World War. Compared with Europe, where news of victory has been transmitted at any time, things in Asia are not particularly clear.

In General Mountbatten's mind, the result of victory would naturally be the same as Germany's. The Allied Powers invaded the Japanese mainland and liquidated the whole of Japan to ensure that this country would not become a threat in the future.

Seeing that Mountbatten was immune to speaking skills, Alan Wilson was a little dumbfounded. Thinking about it, the other party was born so high, and he grew up with praise since he was a child, and he came into contact with all the dignitaries. Moreover, Mountbatten has always been famous for his diplomacy. He solved the problem of cooperation between the British army and other Allied forces when he first came to India. It is definitely not useless as people think.

"To be honest, I want to make concessions to Nehru on this matter. Of course, I have realized from Sir Barron that the Congress Party is not very tough on your affairs, but I still want to do it." Mountbatten held his head in one hand, and said flatly, "The reason is like what I just said. Before the victory is about to come, I don't want any negative factors to appear."

When Alan Wilson heard it, was he going to be killed to make an example to others? He couldn't help but change his face and wanted to explain.

"I decided to transfer you from British India!" General Mountbatten said to himself, "It's not out of selfishness, and it doesn't have much to do with Pamela. It's just a temporary transfer."

"Temporary transfer?" Alan Wilson muttered, not quite understanding what Mountbatten meant.

"On the surface, the Congress Party can accept it!" General Mountbatten explained, "The situation in the European battlefield is very good now, the Allied forces have broken through the Rhine River defense line, and Berlin is within easy reach. This does not count the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front. In fact, the joy of victory will come at any time. The moment when the war is over is the most chaotic time. Let me explain one more thing here, this is not a punishment for you, but just let you leave British India temporarily until you come back You can do things more maturely.”

Alan Wilson stared at Mountbatten's expression very impolitely, but immediately realized that he shouldn't do this. But it seems that the other party has no reason to deceive himself.

"I have a pretty good relationship with Winston. I can write a recommendation letter for you. Which department do you like the working atmosphere in?" Mountbatten asked in a consulting tone when he said this.

Mountbatten is not lying at all. His relationship with the current Prime Minister Churchill is indeed very good. This is only part of the truth. The whole truth is that he has very good relations with all senior officials of the allies he has come into contact with, almost without exception.

At this time, Alan Wilson woke up like a dream,

Some departments quickly ran through their minds, and asked uncertainly, "Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It's somewhat similar to your current job, but I think the Colonial Department is the most suitable for you." General Mountbatten thought for a while and shook his head, "Of course the European war is the most important thing at present. During this process, you You can get a lot of experience. In this way, the relationship between the British Indian Minister Leo Emery and me is also good. I asked him to recommend you to work in the Colonial Department, but you are temporarily seconded to the Foreign Ministry to wait in Europe. Once the Asian battlefield Japan insists on not Hold on, I'm asking you to come back."

Europe? US-Soviet confrontation on the front line? Berlin Wall? Thinking of this, Alan Wilson secretly sighed that this is indeed a good place.

From the day Germany surrendered, the wonderful history has entered another stage.

"You don't want to go?" General Mountbatten tilted his head and said arrogantly, "This is an opportunity."

"I, of course! I am very willing to meet greater challenges." Alan Wilson opened his mouth, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, "I don't know when I will leave."

"I'll give you a few days to deal with things. I heard that you have a good relationship with Ali Khan. This is admirable. You can spend the rest of the time saying goodbye to your friends." Mountbatten didn't know why, but he felt relieved. tone.

Up to now, Alan Wilson still thinks in his heart that this Great British Dragon Aotian just found an excuse to get himself out of British India, until he accepted two autographed letters from Mountbatten in a daze, which were addressed to the Prime Minister Churchill and Indian Colonial Secretary Leo Emory.

"You go to Sir Barron to arrange your trip to Europe. You have to keep these two letters, and you only have free time to go about your business." General Mountbatten held his own letter in his hand, "Just now you also After seeing the contents of the letter, I can rest assured now."

At least on the surface, Alan Wilson did get out of India in disgrace in front of the Congress Party. This can be regarded as an explanation from the Governor-General of British India to the Congress Party.

"What a surprise." Sir Barron shook his head slightly. "Actually, the Congress Party's protests could have been ignored, but with these two letters, maybe it's really a good thing."

"Does Sir Barron think so?" Hearing what the head of the British Indian civil servants said, Alan Wilson suddenly became optimistic, and he also felt that this was not a bad thing.

"I didn't say anything. Good things and bad things are always the same thing." Sir Baron pondered for a while and said, "At least these few days you are free, forget all your troubles, take a good rest, and then go to Mumbai to sit down." Ship, there is no danger on the sea now."

Leaving Sir Barron, Alan Wilson immediately rushed to the next occasion.

"My father transferred you?" Pamela Mountbatten whispered angrily, "Why is he doing this? He takes those Indians too seriously. I'll go find him."

"This is not a bad thing!" Reaching out and grabbing Pamela Mountbatten's clothes, Alan Wilson shrugged, "If possible, pay more attention to Hyderabad. good."

"You seem to be very happy to leave British India?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with some doubts.

"I'm heartbroken, and I'm going to settle this matter when I get back." Alan Wilson pouted his lower lip and blew the hair on his forehead, "It's good to go back to London, I just finished my graduation thesis .”
