Chapter 321 Allen in the Solitary Room
"Father, you are still busy." Pamela Mountbatten returned to the Governor's Palace and saw her father, the Governor, holding a piece of paper thoughtfully. She said hello and wanted to rest.
"Pamela, wait a minute, you want to see this." Governor Mountbatten looked at his smiling daughter, sighed in his heart, and handed over the report letter.
"What's wrong?" With a face full of doubts, Pamela Mountbatten took the report letter and read it.
The report letter stated that Alan Wilson, the current assistant commissioner of British India, was accused of accepting bribes, having improper male-female relations with subordinates, and using public power for private purposes.
The report letter mentioned some things about the current Hyderabad Commissioner Alisa as evidence. It was reasonable and well-founded, and it was said as if such a thing was true.
"Pamela, in fact, I can pretend that I have not seen you accept bribes and use public power for private purposes. But as for maintaining an improper relationship between a man and a woman with a subordinate, you can ignore it if it is someone else, but you are my daughter, so this It's different." Governor Mountbatten looked at his daughter and said, "I object to your continued relationship, that's it."
"Father, you should at least check it out." Pamela Mountbatten was really sad when she saw this report letter. But when her father, the governor-general, said this, she immediately woke up and said hurriedly, "You can't do it because of this." A whistleblower letter can convict someone. Anyone can write a whistleblower letter. It is a cost-free thing. On the contrary, I can see Alan thinking about the future of the British Empire every day. I don’t see it from other civil servants. To this point.”
Governor Mountbatten's face was full of astonishment. He couldn't believe that this was his daughter, and now he would have reason to oppose him.
But it seemed that what my daughter said made sense, and she took a step back, "You still can't see him until this matter is investigated."
The simple-minded Alan Wilson is being manipulated and knows nothing about everything at present.
It won't take long for me to get a promotion and raise my salary, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life. Thinking about it, I still have a little exciting dream.
The next day, he received a slap on the head. During Sir Barron's conversation, he learned about the existence of this report letter. He listened to Sir Barron's words with excitement in his heart, and he couldn't vent his anger. shouted, "Slander, falsehood, premeditated frame-up, and plain despicable behavior."
"The report letter was delivered directly to the Governor." Sir Barron waited until the assistant calmed down before saying, "Do you know what this means?"
"It's him who is messing with me. It must be a civil servant! It can't be Indian. It's impossible for Indians to bypass the civil servants in the Government House. Only British people who understand our procedures can do this." Alan Wilson walked back and forth After walking two steps, I immediately picked up the phone.
"I'm Edel." The voice of the commissioner's secretary Edel came from the microphone.
"I'm Allen. The solitary room is vacant. I want to stay in it for a few days." Allen Wilson said simply, "No one is allowed to come except to deliver food. At the same time, an investigation into my crime will be launched. That's it."
Sir Barron, who had prepared a lot of words, looked at the assistant's performance and smiled bitterly, "Is it so extreme? Even if something happens, I can help you cover it up."
"But I have no guilt to admit." Alan Wilson put down the phone and let out a sigh of relief, "Just investigate, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Well, since you said so, let's go to the solitary room first. It hasn't been used for a long time. Let's clean it up." Sir Barron shook his head. He himself asked for stricter treatment, so what else could he say? of.
Word spread quickly that Alan Wilson was living in a solitary cell and that the Governor's Office had investigated him.
Of course, the Governor's Palace is not small, nor is it huge. Pamela Mountbatten soon knew it. With the help of her mother, she sneaked out and ran to the solitary room to see her sweetheart.
Fortunately, the Governor had many things to do and could not devote all his time to taking care of his daughter, so he gave Pamela a chance.
"You're staying quite leisurely." Seeing Alan Wilson enjoying himself, Pamela Mountbatten felt relieved and complained, "It's a shame I'm so worried."
"I can't die. If I stay outside, others will think that I am using some means to cover up my crimes." Alan Wilson smiled exaggeratedly, "Can't I get rid of suspicion by staying here now? I think This is good. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s quiet and undisturbed. I can just use this time to finish the teaching materials that Malaya needs.”
Recalling copied texts also requires time and environment. Even if Alan Wilson thinks that the subject of history is not bad, there are always things he forgets, let alone adding some of his own neutral opinions.
Therefore, although we have reached the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we always go back and enrich the content of teaching materials.
For example, there were two emperors in the Han and Tang Dynasties who had outstanding achievements but could be called unlucky. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty completely defeated the Xiongnu and established the Protectorate of the Western Regions. All the credit went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Tang Gaozong destroyed the Western Turks and Goguryeo conquered the largest territory of the Central Dynasty. Everyone was interested in his father and his wife.
Where can this be explained? Although the textbook is a serious thing, you must control your hands and not stuff personal items into it. But it's okay to polish it up, and we can't make these two emperors too transparent.
"Would you lie to me about this?" Through the bars, Pamela Mountbatten was like visiting a prisoner. After hearing Alan Wilson's words, he felt relieved, but he was still confused about whether this man would lie to him.
"Honey, if I want to, I can do it." Alan Wilson said truthfully with a pen in his hand, "But I don't have to do it. I can't admit to something I haven't done."
"Who do you think is reporting you?" Pamela Mountbatten had unknowingly put herself in Alan Wilson's shoes and asked who might have framed her, but she hadn't yet discovered her inner feelings.
"He must be a civil servant, otherwise he wouldn't know much about the Governor's Mansion. He was talking about things in Hyderabad. I also know that Alyssa is a female civil servant that I value, so the scope of suspicion is much smaller." Alan Wilson tilted his head After thinking for a while, "There was only one candidate to appoint the Commissioner of Hyderabad from beginning to end. Maybe the other competitors were dissatisfied. It's easy to uncover my suspicion. Just call Alyssa over and ask. .”
"I have only seen Sir Barron since I arrived at the Government House, and it is impossible to communicate with the outside world. Until now, no one has come to see me. Unless Sir Barron personally helps, otherwise, I will be cut off from contact with Hyderabad. It's possible. You can just call Alyssa, who doesn't know that I'm under investigation, to come over and ask her to clear my suspicions."
Pamela Mountbatten kept nodding, feeling that what her sweetheart behind bars said made sense. Even at this time, he is still calm in the face of danger and finds a solution to the problem. This is the man he is looking for.
The most important thing between people is trust. If this man says he was wronged, then he must be wronged. Pamela Mountbatten had made up her mind to figure this out.
"I will bring you some delicious food when I come back next time." Pamela Mountbatten comforted her gently through the bars.
"Bring more fruit." Alan Wilson is still showing off his side that is not afraid of the direct shadow, as if the world is balanced.
For the current Government House, the biggest thing is the arrival of Burmese leader Aung San.
Governor Mountbatten and Congress Party leader Nehru were waiting at the Government House, ready to talk to Aung San himself about the Rohingya issue.
The Rohingya issue can be seen as a smaller version of the partition of India and Pakistan, also mixed with religious and ethnic factors.
For Nehru, the Rohingyas, at least now, were not pacifists but Indians. The Congress party is still working hard to take over the entire British India, rather than considering the partition of India and Pakistan.
A small scale does not mean that the problem is not big. After Aung San met with Mountbatten and Nehru, he learned that they wanted the Rohingya to return to their hometown. He refused very forcefully, saying, "This is impossible. These people Not Myanmar’s native ethnic group, but Indians, and Indians have no reason to live in Myanmar.”
"Can I think that General Aung San has anti-India tendencies?" Nehru asked with great dissatisfaction. "If this is the case, Myanmar will have to bear all the consequences of this attitude in the future."
If Alan Wilson were not in lockdown, he would certainly be applauding the imperialist rhetoric of the future Prime Minister of India. This is the governor-general of a big and colorful country. Burma, a mere man, doesn't respect such a big and colorful country.
Let’s think a little more. If Aung San himself is bound to die in a civil war, the murderer can be a Rohingya, who can also sow discord between India and Myanmar.
It's a pity that he didn't see this scene, but it doesn't matter, he will always know as long as he leaves the confinement room.
Aung San may not have dared to be dissatisfied with the British Empire, the source of evil, but he was not so polite to Nehru, who was also a colony, and ignored the important role of the British Empire in the emergence of the Rohingya.
A harsh refutation of Nehru's dissatisfaction, biting Myanmar's bottom line, the expulsion of the Rohingyas has become a fait accompli and cannot be changed. It is even more impossible for Myanmar to accept these Indians again.
No matter what Nehru and Mountbatten said, Aung San insisted on this bottom line. There was nothing to talk about.
After Ali Jinnah, Mountbatten, who came to India as the Governor-General, met for the second time an independent leader who was in need of help. Two similar figures in a row began to make Mountbatten realize the complexity of the British Indian issue.
On this night, when Mountbatten faced Churchill, who was also his teacher and friend, he frankly expressed his frustration, "Many people say that I am good at coordination, but this is the most difficult coordination work I have ever seen."
