Chapter 323 Two Difficult Choices
It was no secret that the Congress party had always harbored fantasies about taking over the whole of British India, even Alan Wilson knew it.
If Nehru had the entire independent Indian Republic from British India in his hands, would he be honest and not expand?
The answer is no. If you look for excuses like this, India, which is stronger, will not play a positive role and will continue its historical policies.
And no one in the whole of British India knew better than Alan Wilson what this potential pro-Soviet element would do. If India under the leadership of Nehru were asked to choose between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the choice would be the Soviet Union a hundred times.
As long as Nehru did not die, it was almost certain that India would side with the Soviet Union. Of course, in terms of national attributes, once they really risked their lives, there were things that the Soviets could do that the United States would not do even if it killed them.
For example, neither the United States nor the United Kingdom will provide large-scale industrial assistance to a country. Only a fool like the Soviet Union would get a headache! Not only did the Soviet Union do it, it did it twice, once with a certain major country, and the other time with India.
There are actually differences between the two large-scale industrial aids. It cannot be said that the Soviet Union fell into the same pit twice. When it provided industrial aid to India, because it had already learned a lesson from a certain big country, its aid to India was different from that of the entire country. The system has nothing to do with it, it’s more about specific projects, and the total volume may be larger, but it will not really give India the ability to build things behind closed doors.
Of course, it was mainly because of India's own problems. Therefore, in the 1980s, when the Soviet Union was at its peak, India's industrial capabilities and levels were roughly half of those of a major country at the same time.
When faced with a leader like Nehru who really wanted to make the country a great one, Britain and the United States could not meet India's demands.
Only the Soviet Union would accept the conditions offered by India. Naturally, with Nehru's influence, India would not embrace the free world.
It is not necessarily a good thing for Britain to really invest, because now the big brother of the free world is no longer Britain, but the United States. The United States will definitely eat up all British interests in the subcontinent. Instead of doing this, it should give it to the Soviet Union. The complicated relationship between heretics and heretics...
Regardless of whether India will fight with the Soviet Union or the United States in the future, he cannot let India benefit anyway. The victory of the colonies is the failure of the British Empire. He cannot let India take advantage of the British Empire.
"Well, General Aung San is here anyway. I can contact the monarchs of Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim and send people to sign a security treaty. No matter what happens, India after independence cannot adopt an annexation policy towards these neighboring countries. I wonder if Mr. Nehru thinks there is a problem?”
Just as Nehru was about to answer, Alan Wilson suddenly turned to General Aung San himself and asked, "What does General Aung San think of my suggestion?"
How about it? Of course it was great. Didn't you notice that the two of them were arguing about the Rohingya people, and they were almost at war with each other.
"This is of course a good thing and reflects the British Empire's responsible style as a world empire. I can't wait to share this good news with my domestic partners."
General Aung San expressed his welcome to this matter almost immediately, and couldn't wait to make it a fait accompli.
For Alan Wilson, this is the right time to promote this matter. On the one hand, he has collected money from Bhutan and Sikkim through Li Jisheng. A person like him who keeps his word has collected money. Just do your best.
Another aspect is to make India as controllable as possible after independence in terms of the overall goal, and not to ignore the role of the British Empire too much.
If Nehru disagreed, it would prove that Nehru was a potential imperialist, and his policies towards the surrounding small countries were no different from those of the British Empire.
If Nehru agreed,
In the future, India should not look for opportunities to annex and encroach on these countries.
The occasion was not bad. General Aung San of Myanmar happened to be there. As a witness, not only did he want to witness this scene, he even wanted Alan Wilson's signatory countries to include Myanmar.
"I want to ask my teacher Gandhi to make the decision." Nehru did not dare to agree rashly, so he used Gandhi as a shield.
"Very good, I believe that Mr. Gandhi, as a peace-loving person, will never object." Alan Wilson muttered to himself, "Now we have to see whether non-violence is true or false. Anyway, the British Empire will not be affected by this." What’s the loss?”
The Rohingya issue, which had been at a stalemate for several days, became what it is now as soon as Alan Wilson came out of the confinement room to stir things up.
When Nehru was leaving, Alan Wilson said to the back of the future Prime Minister of India, "Mr. Nehru, then we will inform Nirvana, Bhutan and Sikkim first. General Aung San is here." , I don’t need to notify you. It’s just a formality anyway. How could someone like Mr. Gandhi who calls for peace disagree?”
What a hurtful thing to the character. If disagreement proves that India has ambitions for neighboring countries, the so-called non-violence will become a joke. Since Gandhi established the character of non-violence, he must pay the price for it today.
Once non-violence is known as a lie, then at least for now, the British Empire is still bigger than India's fist. Using violent means to solve problems, India's current fist is not strong enough, and it happens to be what the British Empire is good at.
"Alan, how did you get out?" Governor Mountbatten was attracted by Alan Wilson's performance as the Arbiter. After Nehru left, he suddenly remembered something. Shouldn't this man be locked up in a solitary room?
"It was Pamela who released me." Alan Wilson said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Governor, my suspicion has been cleared."
"You are lying. Any investigation in London can take as long as a year or as short as a few months. It has never been so fast." Governor Mountbatten was very familiar with the bureaucratic efficiency of the British mainland and did not believe Alan Wilson's words at all.
"Mr. Governor, during the local investigation process, a suspect will not be locked up first. Also, it's not that civil servants can't do things quickly, it's just that for the benefit of the empire, they usually slow down their efficiency to come up with something. A mature and constructive approach rather than a hasty decision based on a few days' time."
Alan Wilson opened his mouth to defend the professionalism of the civil service group. The so-called hasty decisions refer to Mountbatten's various behaviors since he took office. Don't you know you should be on vacation?
As for the signing of the peace treaty, Alan Wilson is planning to publicize it for two months by saying that it will be signed tomorrow. Then the formal meeting wasted a month, and finally a mature plan that was weighed by all parties was announced.
It is not in vain that he received money from Sikkim and Bhutan. He must do things after receiving the money. This has always been his philosophy.
The assistant commissioner who had just regained his freedom was still quite busy. After messing with Nehru and Aung San, he immediately went to find Pamela and Alyssa. At this time, there was no need to avoid suspicion. He had to act openly and aboveboard to completely dispel the suspicion. Pamela is suspicious of the relationship between her boss and her subordinates.
After finding the two of them, they sat directly next to Pamela Mountbatten, facing Alyssa, and gave a very obvious hint to the governor's daughter. The three of them chatted together, and there was laughter from time to time.
"Alyssa, you know that I used to value him very much, and at least his treatment was no worse than yours. But something happened to him, and I am very willing to think about him. But I can't promote a stained person to be a commissioner, right?" Ai Len Wilson looked confused, "What does this have to do with me? I asked him not to pay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pamela Mountbatten pinched the man's waist. She was getting more and more outspoken. Why should you give money but not pay? There are two ladies here, so straightforward?
"Although we have no evidence, it's probably him." Alyssa thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that the method of reporting a letter was too despicable. How to deal with him."
"With this kind of rule-breaking behavior, he will definitely not be included in the civil service in the future. But it is not suitable to deal with him now. Others think I am retaliating. The key point is that I really have no evidence." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "Transfer to a certain province to work, otherwise you may also be in trouble."
"I don't want to see him anymore. He is indeed not an admirable man." Alyssa put one hand on the tea cup, her face was rather cold, "But I thought you were going to punish him."
If Pamela Mountbatten was not here to listen, Alan Wilson would inevitably not discuss with his confidants and punish Andy. What happened if there was no evidence? This is not the mainland. It is normal for a civil servant to die in the line of duty in a colony.
After sitting for a while, Alan Wilson gave Alyssa a wink and left, leaving the two ladies here to communicate. He, a hard-working civil servant, still had to go to work.
On this day, Alan Wilson asked Pamela and Alyssa the same question respectively. How did he clear the suspicion so quickly? Unfortunately, Pamela did not answer. Later, he asked Alyssa to answer this question again.
"Dear boss, you really want to know." Alyssa took a step closer. They could almost smell each other's body. She opened her lips lightly and said, "I have a one-time piece of evidence that can prove that the two of us are Innocent, this evidence is more effective than any words, Andy has always wanted to get this evidence, but has never succeeded."
"Wow." Alan Wilson is not stupid. Of course he understands what Alyssa is referring to. "I wonder which lucky person will get such a precious gift in the future."
"Maybe even you can't tell." Alyssa exhaled like a blue breath, and gently attached a hand to the man's lower abdomen, like a breeze blowing on her face, and everywhere she passed was full of life.
