Chapter 310 Heart of Justice
"I received a medal for intelligence." Alan Wilson explained with a smile, "You know about Pearl Harbor? It was a major event that changed history. Although the locals did not pay attention to it, I still got the honor I deserved after the war. I also had a small share of the credit for the victory over the Axis powers.”
While talking, Alan Wilson took out his ID card from MI6. He hadn't used it for a long time and it was getting dusty when he left it there, but it was the right time to take it out at this time.
Looking at the documents in front of him, Ali Jinnah's doubts disappeared, but he did not change his original intention and said, "If you want to threaten me with this matter, it is completely a dream. The Muslim League's pursuit of independence will not change."
"Misunderstood, misunderstood. No one wants to stop the Muslim League from running towards freedom. In fact, most of the time in my life, people who are running towards freedom should be assisted." Putting the MI6 ID in his pocket, Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "Dear Mr. Ali Jinnah, whether you believe it or not, I am one of ours."
"Oh? Wow?" Ali Jinnah's expression changed continuously, and finally he showed relief, "Maybe there is something wrong with you."
Fortunately I didn't say anything was wrong with you! With this thought in his mind, a smile appeared on Alan Wilson's lips and he nodded slightly.
With Ali Jinnah's late-stage tuberculosis and fifty cigarettes a day, streptomycin can basically be concluded to have only a better-than-nothing effect. If Ali Jinnah wants to lead Pakistan and Nehru's India, it is still not possible. Too likely.
Streptomycin is estimated to have little effect on Ali Jinnah, but Vivien Leigh's tuberculosis can be considered to be cured. Great Britain's disease has been well treated in recent years. As long as it does not relapse again, it may be curable.
Ali Jinnah and Vivien Leigh are the ones Alan Wilson should care about, and the Muslim League doesn't give money.
The emergence of streptomycin can be compared with penicillin. Its specific effect against tuberculosis bacilli has created a new era in tuberculosis treatment. Since then, there is hope to curb the thousands of years of history of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ravaging human life.
The entire Muslim League is all tied to Ali Jinnah, which is in sharp contrast to the Congress Party where there are many senior leaders and talents.
It was already weak in strength, and the eventual emergence of Pakistan was closely related to Ali Jinnah's uncompromising struggle.
Even Mountbatten pointed out in his later memoirs that if he had known that Ali Jinnah was seriously ill at the time and had stood with the Congress Party to delay, Pakistan probably would not have emerged.
Alan Wilson had no ill will towards Ali Jinnah, it would be great if British India lost the Indus Valley and the mouth of the Ganges.
This would be beneficial to most countries, and he was even prepared to provide some help.
At the cocktail party, Mountbatten glanced over and saw Alan Wilson and Ali Jinnah chatting happily, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
What bad intentions could an assistant commissioner have? It is nothing more than stability above all else, and I hope Ali Jinnah will believe in himself.
It's just that the occasion of this cocktail party is really not suitable for talking about things. The two agreed to find a time to communicate about how to make Pakistan appear in the world.
Because Ali Jinnah kept his word in the Muslim League, many conditions were not as good as those of the Congress Party. For example, if something happened, no one would discuss it.
Alan Wilson, who had experience as Hyderabad commissioner, was willing to help, even without charge in the spirit of internationalism.
In fact, the hidden dangers of Pakistan are indeed as great as Mountbatten said. When he learned that Ali Jinnah would not change his original intention of establishing an independent country, Mountbatten said straightforwardly that Pakistan would inevitably split. Pakistan, separated from India, will inevitably cease to exist within twenty or thirty years.
Mountbatten was not wrong about this, and could even be said to be prescient, but Ali Jinnah remained unmoved.
Unlike Mountbatten, on the second day, Alan Wilson discussed the future of British India with Ali Jinnah on the premise of Pakistan's independence.
In fact, Pakistan and India do not necessarily split. Hindi is Urdu.
Hindi and Urdu, collectively known as Hindustani, are fundamentally similar. The main difference is that the former uses Devanagari letters and the latter uses Arabic letters. The former has introduced more Sanskrit loanwords, while the latter has borrowed words from Arabic and Persian. a bit more.
It is similar to the Mongolian language in Inner and Inner Mongolia. One is a written script created by the Soviet Union, and the other is a traditional Mongolian script, but there is no problem in dialogue. In addition to religious differences, there were still many potential connections between India and Pakistan. For example, Bollywood's largest overseas market has long been Pakistan.
Urdu as the national language of Pakistan was established by Ali Jinnah, but he himself did not understand this language. With this, Ali Jinnah's status in the Muslim League is evident.
Why can choosing a language as the national language reflect Ali Jinnah’s status? First of all, Ali Jinnah did not understand the language. Secondly, only eight percent of Pakistan’s native-speaking population is Urdu.
This is equivalent to someone slapping his head and deciding to promote Cantonese as the national language and he succeeded.
Regarding the later generations of the Internet, what Cantonese is only two votes away, they are all representatives of famous Internet lies, and sixty years later... they have almost the same credibility as those of the Pao Dang. But Ali Jinnah really did it and made a small language a national language.
Pakistan's future was tied to it, and Ali Jinnah was now far more important in Alan Wilson's eyes than Governor Mountbatten.
"Today we received a telegram. The Prime Minister intends to ask Senator Churchill to go to New Delhi in person to mediate the contradictions in British India, look forward to the future, and make progress together."
At the beginning of the second day's meeting, Alan Wilson handed the latest instructions from London to Ali Jinnah.
"Is Assistant Allen threatening me?" Ali Jinnah took the translation and read it again, and asked calmly.
Former Prime Minister Churchill has always been known for not giving up the image of British India. Is this time coming here to show that the British Empire wants to express a tough attitude?
"Mr. Jinnah misunderstood. When he is in power, he will think about issues from a different angle than when he is in opposition." Alan Wilson shrugged. "Our greatest expectation for Senator Churchill is that he has broad influence. The former Prime Minister can make the Governor more pragmatic."
"You seem to be Mountbatten's daughter and are in a relationship, right?" Ali Jinnah chuckled and asked without leaving any trace.
"The Governor may not think so, but in fact it is. But there is one more thing!" Alan Wilson nodded slightly, looked at Ali Jinnah and said, "I am a civil servant and cannot betray my colleagues. The team must be united. Only through unity can we exert our fighting power, which the Muslim League, as a minority, should understand."
oh? Ali Jinnah looked at Alan Wilson with a very developed look. It was not the first time that the two met, but each time Alan Wilson made him realize a different side.
After talking about Churchill's possible visit to British India, regarding Ali Jinnah's physical condition, Alan Wilson also expressed his willingness to ask someone to see if the experimental drug of streptomycin could be brought back from the United States so that this person could Muslim League leaders give it a try.
If Ali Jinnah did not believe in himself, he could try to use other tuberculosis patients to see the situation.
"Actually, it's hard for me to understand this kind of behavior. Why do you want to help me? You already know my physical condition, so you can protect this secret and wait for me to get sick as long as possible." Ali Jinnah said with a bitter smile, "You still want to help me." I got the medicine from the United States, and streptomycin has just come out, so it won’t be easy to get.”
"To answer the latter question, as to whether streptomycin can be obtained, the Soviet Union's definition of a capitalist country is not wrong in its literal meaning." After Alan Wilson explained the question, "During most of Mr. Jinnah's time, They are all fighting against imperialism. Having said that, before an imperialist country leaves, does it want its former colonies to be strong? You want to split this colony with hundreds of millions of people and four million square kilometers, great, I have no reason Not helpful."
When Alan Wilson spoke, he was full of excitement, dancing and holding great longing for the separate founding of British India.
The disgusting atmosphere of imperialism spread out, inspiring Ali Jinnah's righteous heart to oppose the British colonial government in his youth, but before he could say anything, Alan Wilson spoke first, "So I and a group of people I represent, Mr. Jinnah should not doubt that he is the one who is truly willing to help Pakistan become independent.”
The heart of justice was extinguished. At this moment, the young Ali Jinnah also called for the unity of the two major sects to jointly drive away the British. For this purpose, he had a fierce debate with the leader of the Muslim League at the time.
But today is different from the past. The beauty of the past is worth remembering, but it can no longer go back. Giving peaceful believers a country of their own without being suppressed by the majority Hindus was what Ali Jinnah pursued. The only reason to blame is that the Congress Party cannot tolerate minorities.
"Assistant Allen wants to say that you are a friend of Pakistan?" Ali Jinnah sighed and asked.
"Why not? I am extremely honored." Alan Wilson replied simply, "Today, how about let us talk about the problem of Pakistan? I have many thoughts. The last time I talked about Kashmir with Mr. Jinnah, it was just One aspect.”
The biggest hidden danger of Pakistan is that the eastern and western parts of Pakistan each have their own advantages. However, Ali Jinnah died of illness just after Pakistan became independent and did not have time to deal with it.
"Once the partition began, the largest single ethnic group in Pakistan was the Bengalis. To be honest, there are more Bengalis as a group than there are peaceful believers in the entire west. But in terms of land area, Pakistan must be dominated by the west. How to solve this problem?" Alan Wilson asked, "The Governor is right in one assertion, the partition of Pakistan is not an alarmist statement."
