Chapter 292 Great Differences
In fact, apart from crashing into the Himalayas in 1962, Nehru did not make any mistakes. It suppressed Pakistan externally, eliminated the princely states internally, and even recovered Goa in 1961.
At the same time, India's political system was established, British stumps were cleared, and most importantly, land reforms were carried out. Especially the last one, Chang Gong cannot be compared with Nehru at all.
At the beginning of independence, India's development was no slower than that of any other country, and it also initially had the ability to resist external economic influences.
Everything is developing in a good direction. The initiator of the Bandung Conference was Nehru, and the stage was set by Nehru.
The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were also co-proposed by Nehru. Together with Tito and Nasser, he was worthy of being the leader of the Non-Alignment and the leader of the Third World. He was definitely a powerful country in terms of momentum.
But now, with Alan Wilson around, Nehru was destined to have to work harder to deal with the situation he faced. In terms of the external environment alone, Nasser has not yet shown signs of success, and it would be good if Tito is not beaten.
You must know about the Greek Civil War. The main supporter of the Greek Communist Party was not the Soviet Union. Churchill had already demarcated the sphere of influence with Stalin, and the Soviet Union kept its promise on the Greek issue.
The main supporter of Greece is actually Tito of Yugoslavia. Now Tito is facing another thing, that is, the opponents who should have been eliminated, hundreds of thousands of them have fled abroad.
This is already annoying. The most annoying thing is that as long as the United States is provoked, the United States may remember these people and use them to attack Tito. Now it seems that even if Yugoslavia is still in conflict with the Soviet Union, it is estimated that at most it will be Like Romania, it was okay to quarrel with the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact, but it would never leave the Warsaw Pact.
Similar to France in history, it is a member of the Western family, but it often creates obstacles for the United States.
Without the support of Nasser and Tito, Nehru probably would not have given up his independence, so the iron mine would only be safe for three or four years.
As for the internal environment, the delegations of the two parties have returned to British India after a performance in London. The biggest achievement was to bring the discord between the Muslim League and the Congress to the surface.
The most obvious consequence at this stage is that after Patel returned to British India, he was encouraged by his supporters and was somewhat interested in trying to avoid Nehru. Alan Wilson felt that this was a good thing and could at least make Nehru Don’t be so lonely and practice your political skills.
Just at this time, Vivien Leigh returned to New Delhi enjoying the praise. The non-stop activities exhausted the British treasure.
I have a trip to the West Coast in a few days.
The British treasure was so exhausted from serving the country that the loyal imperial civil servant felt distressed, so he came to give Vivien Leigh a massage to relieve the fatigue in his heart.
While enjoying the massage, she heard Alan Wilson talking about the situation in British India. Vivien Leigh heard Patel's name and hummed, "It seems that this person is not bad. He seems to be calling on his supporters to learn from me." That’s right. He should be an enlightened person.”
"He is the conservative leader of the Congress Party. Apart from Gandhi, he should be the number two figure under Nehru." Alan Wilson introduced while massaging, "His supporters are all Hindu supremacists. .”
"So that's it. I really can't see it. Shouldn't conservatives hate the colonists?" Vivien Leigh turned around and lay on her back and said.
"The distinction between left and right is not so simple. There are everyone in the Congress Party. Nehru's supporters emphasize unity and regard the British Empire as an enemy, while Patel's supporters believe that the Mughal Empire is an enemy and the British No matter what the empire did, it never suppressed Hinduism."
"From the perspective of India as a country, of course it is good for India that Nehru tried to bridge religious conflicts. But from the perspective of Hindus, Patel's supporters are more reasonable. In short, it is very complicated."
Just when Vivien Leigh was exhausted and Alan Wilson had already unbuttoned his belt, there was a knock on the door of the apartment, making the two people who were ready to enter the state stunned.
I didn't want to pay attention, but the knock on the door kept saying, "Vivian, this is Ingrid."
"Go to the bathroom and hide for a while." Vivien Leigh ignored Alan Wilson and pointed directly to the bathroom to let Alan Wilson in.
I'm in the bathroom, the door is blocked, I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent! Alan Wilson squatted on the toilet, with a look of helplessness on his face, and the shock was far more than that.
"What's wrong with Vivian? I'm in a hurry, but I'm going in." Ingrid Bergman's voice came clearly from the bathroom door, her meaning was clear, and the facts were clear.
"Ingrid, the bathroom is broken, and I don't know what happened. I haven't lived here for a few days, but it's extremely dirty. I'm planning to ask Allen to find someone to fix it." Vivien's voice was a little unsteady. Ingrid If Bergman went in, there would be no way to hide it.
"Huh..." Alan Wilson looked up to the sky and sighed, controlling his breathing and not daring to make a loud noise.
Vivien Leigh finally succeeded, not letting the adultery be exposed in front of Ingrid Bergman, and got through the episode without any danger.
After the people left, Alan Wilson came out of the bathroom and said with fear, "Forget it, I won't come tonight either."
"No, you have to come." Vivien Leigh took Alan Wilson's hand, "Come over tonight and tell me about the play..."
When Vivien Leigh and her party came back, Alan Wilson's cook became even busier. He originally wanted to feed these actresses, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too perfunctory, and the food was carefully prepared.
But he really didn't have enough knowledge in this area. He even wanted to send a telegram to Xiangjiang and ask the civil servants there to send him a menu.
Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman all praised Alan Wilson as a person. There were too few men who took the initiative to help women cook.
"Actually, I usually eat at the Governor's Mansion, but after all, we are guests, and I always have to take care of everyone." Alan Wilson told the truth, he always ate at the Governor's Mansion, which makes it easier to establish a diligent and thrifty attitude. image.
"Oh, right." Ingrid Bergman looked at Alan Wilson, but she couldn't tell. "I thought European men were so advanced now. Oh, by the way, I still want to go back to Europe to develop. I’m thinking about my acting career, do you have any advice?”
"If we look at Europe in terms of countries, the markets of each country are smaller, unless the market can be unified." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "We should treat movies from all European countries equally and screen them in a unified way. Only in this way can we fundamentally solve the market problem." Otherwise, if the market is small, the movie won’t get box office, and without box office, you actors won’t be able to increase your pay.”
"You sound like you understand movies." Joan Crawford rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson and said, "The American film market has been the world's largest for many years. The key is money. Without income, everything is fake."
Vivien Leigh wanted to retort, but Alan Wilson nodded first and said, "So to unify the European film market, the population of some countries cannot support the film industry, but they have very good actors. And like French literature Large countries, such as Italy, which have a strong historical atmosphere, can provide good scripts and venues. Only by learning from each other's strengths can each country develop well."
"This should be what you officials should do. Oh, forget, you are a colonial official." Ingrid Bergman laughed, "You should not be able to push this matter."
"The first person to make the appeal should not be the officials, but the actors. For the ministers, the actors are also votes. In fact, the most suitable person here is Vivian." Alan Wilson took a deep look. Vivien Leigh, "With the wide acclaim it is receiving now, it would be a pity not to use it. Only when the actors group first makes an appeal, I can communicate with my friends in London about the rest and let the ministers consider this matter."
"How many friends do you have? Ellen!" Greta Garbo glanced around the table and said some strange words.
"Not bad." Ellen Wilson nodded reservedly, not knowing why Greta Garbo spoke in this tone.
Negotiations with Drake are quite difficult. Although both of them have clearly defined their bottom line, who will choose to spend more if they can save? Is it to pay to make a friend? The relationship between Britain and the United States is relatively complicated and can be summarized in many relationships, but they cannot be friends.
Even with domestic support, the negotiations between the two were still very different at the beginning. Derek's asking price was almost 50 million, and Alan Wilson's return price was also 50 million, but the currency was pounds.
What they have in common is that both Alan Wilson and Derek believe that they have done their best, but the other party has not shown the slightest sincerity. It is simply a hooliganism and an insult to the British Empire and the United States of America.
“Although high-quality iron ore is not abundant, it is not only found in the subcontinent.”
"But there are not many high-quality markets. Otherwise, if you signed a friendship treaty between the United States and China, wouldn't you just want to find the British India of the United States." Alan Wilson said sincerely, "By the way, your East Asian allies have not spoken. Want U.S. aid?”
Will Chang Gong let the United States go? Not only asking for U.S. aid, but also seeking a win-win situation. Using U.S. aid to trade stocks in the U.S., eating two fish and playing tricks on the Yankees, this is the style of a micromanager master.
"I am a pure businessman and don't know much about things between countries." Derek coughed softly and avoided Alan Wilson's question.
"A real big businessman cannot do without politics, dear Mr. Derek." Alan Wilson changed the topic and said, "Look at the situation in British India, isn't it much more stable than your allies? There is a market, but you are afraid of making profits. Not enough money.”
