Chapter 346 Travel at Public Expense
Even Nehru couldn't tell that Alan Wilson was telling lies, because his disdain for the United States was real and completely instinctive. It was both the disdain brought by the memory of his previous life and the fact that he was a British man in this life. People are angry when they see the hegemony belonging to Britain being taken away bit by bit by the traitor.
Not to mention Nehru alone, even if the Mossad, KGB, MI6, and CIA joined forces, they would only come to the conclusion that Alan Wilson's true feelings were revealed.
At least now, part of British India is in the hands of Nehru. Nowadays, Nehru, who is already shaking, no longer has to swallow his anger like before. Patel is no longer worried, and the situation has been initially controlled. In hand.
Regarding Alan Wilson, a British man who had contradicted him several times, although Nehru could not talk about revenge, he still maintained a high profile and said, "Mr. Allen, please sit down. Is there some misunderstanding between us? Or, you I look down on Indians in my heart."
"I was not prepared for these words." Alan Wilson smiled sarcastically, sat down very openly, and said, "Personally speaking, I maintain a normal attitude towards any ethnic group, even black people. It’s not contempt. I just can’t see it and avoid it. The reason for the several conflicts with Mr. Nehru is simple. I am British and I want to serve the interests of the British Empire. I have worked in British India for a long time. , can be regarded as having a slight understanding of Indians, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he stopped the Congress Party from taking a series of actions."
Although the previous trip back to Europe was due to Nehru. But at that time, Alan Wilson was just a little shrimp, and even Nehru himself had forgotten about it. Naturally, Alan Wilson would not always be jealous.
But it's different when it comes to national interests. It's not like before the Age of Discovery, everyone knew exactly how big the earth was. The more you eat, the less I will eat. Unless technology explodes again to make the cake bigger, we will inevitably face the problem of dividing the cake.
So here’s the problem. He was born in the 1920s, so considering his relatively long life, it is very reasonable for him to die two thousand years ago. At least there was no technological explosion at that time.
All countries are tapping their internal potential and waiting for their opponents to die suddenly. Britain is just an insignificant member. The United States has gone too far, tapping its potential to the point of turning most people in the country into moonlighters. Don't dare to stop for a moment, otherwise it will be an endless chain of bankruptcy.
The rejection of the Congress Party's proposals several times before was out of consideration of nip in the bud to prevent India from developing out of control. It is not entirely true to say that Alan Wilson did not want independent India to live well.
He hopes that India will live well after independence, but it must not live better than Britain. Any trend that may lead to such consequences should be cut off ruthlessly.
“Alan is really honest.
I don’t even know whether I should believe you or not! Nehru shook his head in surprise and said, "What you said is very sincere, but now you come to discuss with me about controlling the disease?" You seem to have violated your previous image again. Where are you from? "
"The winning side." Alan Wilson replied concisely. "Now, the independence of British India is a foregone conclusion, and nothing can be undone, unless the local expeditionary force is organized to fight to the death with the Indians. To maintain the British rule India’s efforts have been in vain and the work must continue to be professional.”
"This is called professionalism!" Nehru raised his eyebrows and agreed, "It's a pity that you are here. In the past, you would definitely be a hypocritical colonial official. There are not many people as shameless as you."
"It can also be called a flexible moral bottom line." Alan Wilson corrected him calmly. "Speaking this way seems less harmful, and at the same time, it takes into account the need to express one's stance and calm down the incident."
“And dear Deputy Prime Minister Nehru, I don’t know whether I should say something like this: nationalism is a double-edged sword, but it should be used with caution. Not everyone is at a moral disadvantage as a colonial government like the British Empire. There are many countries in the world that do not owe India. As I said before, don’t think that India is bigger than Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal. The world war is over, and there will no longer be wars that change territories. .”
In fact, to be honest, the Congress Party gained support by opposing the British Empire under the banner of independence. Was British India really a colonial government, and the British Empire was untenable in this regard, and was it repressive? The British government, which is now in debt, really has no money.
But it will be different after independence. No other country owes India anything. If Nehru is coerced into hitting the Himalayas again and ends up with a bloody head, it can only be said that he is to blame.
"Are you warning me?" Nehru was a little amused, but he still showed his imperialist nature. Just now he said that he was a professional, and now he was teaching him how to do things.
"In a personal name." Alan Wilson did not deny that he had done everything he should have done. Recently, he had been wondering if there was anything missing, but? There really wasn’t a drop left.
Finally, it was time to work as a foreigner and wait to return to the homeland. For a moment, Alan Wilson was a little uninterested. This great mountain and river finally made the Indians cheaper, what the hell...
Sometimes I think about it, a system that allows opposing voices to have the right to speak is actually not a good system. He was sure that if it were a centralized country, India would never be so independent.
If it is any dynasty in China, half of the population must pay the price to overthrow it. Even France did not evacuate the colonies without firing a shot.
As a result, now, Alan Wilson still has to discuss the license with Nehru, who already has some rights.
Although Alan Wilson achieved his goal in the end, because essentially it was not worth the dispute between the two, but this feeling is very uncomfortable. Do you deserve the surname Zhao?
Alan Wilson, who had completed the licensing matter, did not report the good news to Merck immediately. Instead, he took out the teaching materials that had not been given to Malaya and added the part about the population loss due to previous dynasty changes.
It doesn't mean anything special. Reading history makes people wise and learns from the past to know the future. Doing things requires paying a price. This is a truth that all adults should understand. No threat at all!
After informing Ronald Koeman that the permit matter had been settled, Alan Wilson, who had been thinking about how to deal with the independence of British India for more than a year, almost even sleeping, felt a sense of emptiness. No amount of greed can make up for the fact that a colony of four million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions is about to become independent.
"Alan, what's wrong with you?" Pamela Mountbatten touched the man's face and asked with great concern.
"I feel disappointed, but I still have to pretend to be open-minded and put on a smiling face to congratulate the Indians." Alan Wilson curled his lips and said honestly, "I have never been so eager to leave this subcontinent."
Pamela Mountbatten remained silent and listened to her mother say that her father, Mountbatten, who was the Governor-General, was also disappointed that British India had entered the track of independence.
Now it seems that my man is not the same? Just as he was thinking about how to comfort him, Alan Wilson suggested taking a walk around the subcontinent while British India was still there.
The governor's daughter agreed, the most important thing is that her man is happy! What happened to the daughter and son-in-law of the Vice-Prince of India wandering around?
Travel eventually turned into work. The places Alan Wilson decided to travel to were all princely states, starting from the southernmost princely state in the subcontinent and ending in Kashmir. He wanted to cultivate relationships with the kings of each princely state.
The State of Travancore is a powerful state in South India. It is also the most powerful state among the British Indian states. It is next to the state of Mysore. That is where Alan Wilson wants to go. place.
So this trip began, and with the consent of Governor Mountbatten, the two left New Delhi. As for Ronald Koeman, the old method is to contact him through Alisha in Hyderabad.
The princes of some larger and more populous princely states, such as Hyderabad, Mysore, Indore, Jammu and Kashmir, Travancore, and Junagadh, appealed to Mountbatten himself. They hoped to continue To maintain their independent status, they have repeatedly requested the British government to allow them to remain within the Commonwealth as dominions.
Alan Wilson would definitely agree, but he is not the Governor, but it doesn't matter, he is willing to have some exchanges on this.
Half a month later, the two of them and the soldiers who followed them had arrived in the Travancore princely state and began a tour to make friends with the princes of each princely state. Don’t forget to have fun while working, and travel is also going on at the same time.
Here, on the left, the common land rises steeply, and on the right, a narrow strip of larch and beech forest, with a few weeping willows here and there, leading towards the first hill between the road and the whole moor. Valleys stretched between long and high hills.
This place, between the golden gorse and the fluffy green weeping willows that smelled lemony in the October sun, looked out over the deep valleys and up to the long moorland hills, and it seemed just right. The decisive nature of a watercolorist who loves wonder.
Pamela Mountbatten liked this place so much that she parked her car here and decided to have a picnic here.
Alan Wilson naturally has no objections to this. What is his objection? His father was the Governor-General of British India. At least now, this name is still very intimidating.
However, Alan Wilson saw a dirtbag as soon as he got there. Although he was not a superstitious person, he was not ready to share a picnic with a grave, so he pulled Pamela back into the car and looked for another place. It was not the place anyway. I'm very hungry and it would be nice to walk around.
