Chapter 352 Face-to-Face Instruction
"Actually, if I think about it carefully, I still have a lot of nostalgia for my working experience in British India." Holding a stack of U.S. dollars and signaling Pamela Mountbatten to open the box, Alan Wilson walked to the open iron box and let it go. , boom...
The heavy dollar fell, just like Alan Wilson's heavy heart now. What a move in the spirit of internationalism. He even exchanged pounds for gold, but kept only the dollar.
Alan Wilson was busy coding the dollars. He looked around the apartment with the same look of nostalgia. He seemed to be thinking about the place where he once lived and fought. He muttered, "Many British communities in New Delhi have already It’s for sale and I really want to wait until this property sells before I leave.”
"Look at you, Grandet!" Pamela Mountbatten really couldn't bear it. She had to have a certain limit in everything. It would be bad if she went too far and did not go as far as she could. She should be the one who is worried, right? My parents were still on their last duty in British India, but my fiancé was about to return to China.
The most important thing is that the two have just been engaged and have not yet enjoyed the joy of their new life. This man was just recalled?
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but the important responsibilities of the country are on our shoulders. We cannot refuse, and I am not particularly anxious." Alan Wilson comforted softly, and took the initiative to say, "I have asked Alyssa to come over, and there is still some work to do. Let me explain. After all, I am about to return to Europe, and there may be some things that I cannot do personally."
Alan Wilson has two regrets about his working experience in British India. The first is that he did not see Gandhi being assassinated. The second is that he may have to give up the man who personally ordered the money printing press to dry up and smoke. Opportunity.
Although he thought he worked hard in British India, in the end he still failed to achieve perfection. It is best to leave the next work in the hands of trustworthy people.
Gandhi's matter was so serious that it could not be disclosed even to Pamela Mountbatten, but the matter of starting the money printing press could actually be revealed. In order to celebrate the independence of British India, the British decided to distribute money before leaving. , which can be regarded as a benefit left by Indians.
The amount is not very large, the first batch is 50 billion rupees. If he is still here, he can wait and see the effect before deciding on follow-up releases. But since he has received the transfer order, he can only let Alyssa help keep an eye on it.
"Although I don't quite understand, it seems that such a large amount of investment will cause problems." After hearing this, Pamela Mountbatten instinctively felt that there was something wrong after hearing about her mother's stock market operations.
"You don't understand, and most Indians don't understand even less. They only know that money is going to be distributed, and no one will refuse it. As for causing inflation, it must be done." Alan Wilson pointed out that printing a lot of money The consequences of putting it on the market,
But he emphasized that it must be done, explaining, "We have sold a large number of assets in British India to families such as the Tata and Birla. Printing money and issuing money are essentially covering up the previous resale of the industry. When the time comes, we will He said that all the money from the sale of assets should be given to Indians as welfare."
"But in fact, this money was printed out of thin air, using only some oil and paper." Pamela Mountbatten frowned and said, "You just use the printed money to distribute it and regard it as the proceeds from the resale of previous assets. .”
One problem is used to cover up another problem. In fact, after Alan Wilson sells the assets, the funds have already been given to London anyway, so he can do nothing.
However, while working in British India, he still wanted to leave something to hundreds of millions of people and let the Indians thank him.
But what should I do if I have no money? Then just print money. Is there any other way? This is also not a solution.
Sir Barron has agreed to this matter, and the action must be carried out before the official transfer of power. Nehru knew about it but was unable to stop it. Once the handover is formalized, the Governor's words will no longer matter.
Pamela Mountbatten, the Governor's daughter who was always exposed to the stock market, knew little about it. How can Indians understand? They only know that the British are going to distribute money, and that's all they need to know.
Don’t you see that every time there is an election in India, they promise to allocate money to improve welfare? This is what Indians in the 21st century do, let alone Indians today.
Alan Wilson was already very kind to India. According to the later Indian saying that the British plundered more than 50 trillion US dollars, he should have given out a few hundred billion rupees. Now that the tens of thousands have been removed, it is already a kindness to British India. The greatest mercy.
"Will something go wrong?" Pamela Mountbatten had some doubts. Her father was still the governor-general.
"There will be problems in the future, but they won't happen in a short period of time, and it will also have an economic boost. It's just a chicken blood, that's what it's like." Alan Wilson has always been so honest in front of Pamela Mountbatten.
When Pamela Mountbatten heard this, she skipped the main question and asked, "What is chicken blood injection?"
"It's a Chinese treatment method. It's enough for you to know. There is no need to delve into it." Alan Wilson really wanted to slap himself in the face. It seems that the chicken blood injection therapy has not yet appeared in China.
In the eighties. There is a health care method called chicken blood therapy, which involves extracting the blood of a one-year-old rooster and injecting it into humans. It was once all the rage among the crowd. People who have been injected with chicken blood turn red and are said to be in high spirits.
In essence, blood clots are formed through agglutination reaction. In other words, this effect is actually a stress response of the body, rather than the actual effect of chicken blood. The disadvantages of taking chicken blood are obvious, and animals also have it. Blood type, injecting too much blood of different blood types is a dead end, and chicken blood may contain various viruses.
This was effective at the time, but destined to have endless troubles later. It became a key political circles later, used to describe the four-year election, and then formulate various four-year policies, never considering the long-term.
He is leaving now, and he can only expect Alyssa to help him do his best.
Before Alyssa arrived in New Delhi, Alan Wilson spent most of his time packing his luggage, never taking away any needle or thread from India. At the same time, he also found time to send a telegram to Malaya to ask how his crocodiles and Baiji dolphins were doing. , if there is any problem, the Tamil community will be buried with it.
As for the Andaman Islands, there is no need to worry about it. The islands have been taken over by the Malayan garrison. After returning to London, writing a report casually should not cause any problems.
Five days later, Alyssa arrived in New Delhi. When she saw the two of them, she first congratulated her, "The engagement of Alan and Pamela caused a sensation throughout British India. I didn't come just because of work issues. I hope you don't mind." , we are all so familiar with each other, right?”
"It depends on what you said, Alyssa. We won't mind the work issues." Pamela Mountbatten greeted with a smile, "Besides, it's really not very convenient to get here from Hyderabad."
They were all members of the family, and Alan Wilson did not hide anything, and gave instructions directly in front of Pamela Mountbatten.
"The printing of banknotes can be seen as a cover-up for the previous sale of assets, and it is also a show of goodwill. Let the news spread among the people through some channels that are not on the table. When the time comes, we will sell the printed banknotes and put them into the market. It seems to be forced by public opinion, and no one can blame us. This is what the Indians asked for."
Alyssa drank a glass of lemon juice and said in deep agreement, "I have never seen such an excessive request in my life."
Then the two of them laughed tacitly, and Alyssa said that everything was on her own shoulders, and she must let her immediate boss's work in British India have a perfect ending.
As time passed, the two of them did not feel tired at all. Instead, they chatted more and more energetically, and laughed twice from time to time.
"Risks and opportunities coexist. It's not time to cancel the Hyderabad Commissioner. In the future work, I will contact Portugal more. I have already planned everything. You just need to execute it." Alan Wilson said eloquently , "A government like Salazar's actually has no room for retreat. Unlike an electoral country like ours, it can just bow and apologize when the time comes. In a centralized system, there is much less room for maneuver. Once the colony was lost, those responsible for the lost land would have been shot if they had been a few decades ago."
"In other words, above the colonies, countries like Spain and Portugal are more reliable." Alyssa nodded clearly, "Using Portuguese Goa as a base, try to make India less powerful."
"That's it. We must not let the Indians have an easy time. If we can delay it for a day, it is a day. This is the purpose of our work."
After dinner, Alan Wilson sent Pamela Mountbatten back, taking Alyssa with him at the same time. After Alyssa entered other apartments, he then sent his fiancée to the Governor's Mansion.
Of course, Pamela Mountbatten is also going back to London. It is precisely because she is separated from her parents. She has been expressing her reluctance recently and wants to spend more time with her parents.
After sending Pamela Mountbatten back to the Governor's Mansion, Alan Wilson left and returned, but was intercepted by Alyssa.
"I still have some work issues that need guidance." Alyssa glanced at her and said pointedly.
Guiding work is a physical job, the atmosphere is quite lively, and it is quite normal to take off your clothes.
Just when Alan Wilson had his first glimpse of the door, Alyssa took the initiative to open her arms and whispered in her boss's ear, "Andy has always dreamed of this day, huh."
Listening to the muffled hum in his ears, Alan Wilson worked even harder, hoping to make his subordinates who came to the door shed tears of happiness.
"I will definitely remember this precious gift." During the period of rebuilding the relationship after the war, Alan Wilson expressed his feelings. He was an ethical boss who would never do anything like holding up his pants and denying his credit.
