Chapter 430: A Brilliant Beginning
Sad about the direction of the war, this is the true thought of Alan Wilson. He hopes that India will always be in a low-intensity war, just like the state of the Republic of China when bandits ran around, instead of a high-intensity civil war. .
What if the Indians are beaten a little more normally? You must know that the foundation of British India is much stronger than that of East Asia. It would not be a good thing for Britain if it was awakened even a little bit through a high-intensity war.
So he is very entangled now, hoping that more people will die in this war, but he doesn't want the intensity of the war to be too high.
This constipated expression even made Savievic ask himself, maybe he just misunderstood Alan Wilson. The chief executive of Newfoundland just failed to manage his expression for a while, and it wasn't because he didn't like others.
That's just a joke. Alan Wilson, who has been taught by micro-expression master and silent film queen Greta Garbo, will fail in expression management? This is an insult to Greta Garbo's professionalism, as ridiculous as asking a pregnant woman when she will be pregnant.
Alan Wilson ended his hunting trip and decided to go back to St. Johns. As the capital there, it is more convenient to communicate with the outside world. Although it is unreasonable to use public facilities for private work, he also made a deal with Hyderabad for the benefit of the British Empire. Majesty contacted.
Alan Wilson asked about Hyderabad's current position on the Kashmir issue, and said that India would never allow Kashmir to be annexed by Pakistan. This war has just begun.
For the current situation, Alan Wilson gave an analysis, but did not suggest what to do? Because he has no historical reference, he cannot look at the problem from the perspective of Hyderabad, but the telegram also emphasized that this is an opportunity for Hyderabad.
Because of the conflict in Kashmir, the withdrawal of the British troops stationed in India quietly terminated the evacuation operation. This part of the British troops stationed in India is in Pakistan, claiming to prevent the expansion of local conflicts.
Of course, it’s not just the British who are paying attention to this conflict. Portuguese Goa is also very concerned about whether this conflict will evolve into a real war. Ali Khan, who received a report from Allen Wilson, and then The Portuguese got in touch, exchanging views on the conflict in Kashmir.
In short, because of the Kashmir issue, Pakistan, India, Hyderabad, and Portuguese Goa are all watching the development of the situation. The Hyderabad army has raised its alert and is preparing for a delay.
Europe is in the midst of a wave of reconstruction. Although the United Kingdom stated that after discussing the Coal and Iron Community with France, it will reply to the United States whether to agree to the merger of the occupied areas, but the financial allocation for Germany has already been in place. Germany, like many European countries, has begun post-war reconstruction.
As a representative of German women,
Anna replaced the eldest daughter of the Hellman family in public. After all, Bokina's body is not very convenient, and she is secretly hiding in a safe place, waiting for the arrival of the angel.
Naturally, the business of the Hellman family fell into the hands of the light-looking Anna, and through the Trade Committee of the British Occupied Area, she controlled the important raw material timber needed for Germany's reconstruction.
Anna drove the car around, avoiding some nasty potholes, and bumping along a bumpy asphalt road. They passed small villages of log houses with thatched roofs, with blue stripes painted between the logs.
Many houses have turned gray due to the wind and rain for a long time, are crooked, or are about to collapse. Some houses have no windows, but nearly all have new or freshly painted doors.
In the sunny fields, men and women are working with farm tools, some with horse-drawn plows. The car passed many carts of hand-hewn lumber, drawn by strong, tame horses, and driven by strong, tame women and men, who would have been hard to come by if they had not been marked by turbans and beards. identify their gender.
The car drove all the way into the city without seeing a tractor, a car, or any other machinery. It was a medium-sized city in the Ruhr area, with brick houses and wide streets, and a muddy river ran through it, dividing it in two.
It was a low-slung city, full of ecru buildings, with the air of a backcountry where strangers were not welcome.
The current state of Germany is the current state. The war took away a large number of men, and women have to participate in the reconstruction. Fortunately, the Germanic women are tall and have the reputation of dragoons, so they can shoulder the heavy responsibility of reconstruction.
Anna came out to meet up, because her elder sister, who is most valued by her superiors, is in poor health, and now it is her job to communicate with the country, although she is not willing to complete it.
Finally, Anna, who didn't see anyone but just accidentally threw some garbage, drove away. Naturally, someone would come to collect the garbage and get important news from above.
Alan Wilson in Newfoundland was originally waiting for the arrival of his fiancée, but because of the crossfire in Kashmir, he had to meet Philby again. After all, he used to be the assistant commissioner of British India and knew the situation better.
"There have been domestic discussions about conflicts in our former colonies. At the same time, our American allies are also very concerned about this matter." Philby reappeared straight to the point and asked the leader of the last batch of bureaucrats in British India. What do you think of the current situation in the subcontinent?
"The situation in the subcontinent is very complicated!" Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and said while thinking, "Judging from the current situation, Nehru's face as a socialist has been exposed, and a worrying political tendency has emerged. I believe this is also what the US allies are concerned about, but I personally don’t think India can do anything, I know the subcontinent too well, there is no cohesion as imagined, cohesion only exists in the dreams of Indians.”
There is no need to doubt that Nehru was a socialist. After India’s independence, it implemented an import substitution strategy; it adopted a state-run economy as a leader. In terms of specific practices, it did not exclude the use of certain means of the planned economy. The main purpose of the above-mentioned practices is to form a complete industrial system and quickly realize the modernization of industry.
Even if this is not a complete Soviet line, it is almost a variant of the Bolsheviks in the eyes of the United States. As the country with the strongest paper strength in the world today except Europe and the United States, it is normal to express concern about the situation in India.
"Does the United States want to interfere? If so, I personally agree." Alan Wilson looked at Philby expectantly, hoping to see a positive response from the other party's eyes.
"No!" It was a pity that Philby gave an answer that disappointed Alan Wilson.
It's so disappointing. Alan Wilson thought he would have a chance to avenge the Lend-Lease bill so soon, but the Americans obviously inherited Britain's disgusting diplomatic skills.
Lend-Lease forced the British to beg for this bloody aid! In order to get a chance to fight for Roosevelt, Britain has to be grateful.
Despite the hypocritical talk of leases and loans in this bill, the transfer of arms and supplies from the United States throughout the war was a gift. No official accounts were even kept. Yanks love to haggle.
Lend-Lease was a method of warfare in bargaining. For big corporations, and for millions of workers, it means nothing more than a boom in economic prosperity. The cost was painlessly deferred into the future thanks to the issuance of defense bonds. Others actually fight and die.
Philby nodded, indicating that London was also struggling with the conflict in the former colony, asking about possible situations and providing records.
Didn't I understand when you said that earlier? Alan Wilson nodded to show that he understood, and said directly, "Nehru's hometown is Kashmir, and the number two Patel is a representative of the Hindu conservatives. India should soon make a military response to Pakistan's actions. It might have already started."
"Are you sure?" Philby, who asked, saw Alan Wilson nodding, and sighed, "It seems that someone is bleeding because of this again."
"This is a good thing for us in the UK, Philby." Alan Wilson couldn't help snickering, "Happiness is all about comparison. Doesn't the UK appear to be very happy when other countries are in war?"
Philby stared straight at the lackey of imperialism in front of him, and expressed shame at the other party's gloating behavior.
This can't be blamed for Alan Wilson's disapproval, although the Soviet spy in front of him is a person who has escaped from the vulgar taste.
But the other party's father is a realist. Among those who support Pamela Mountbatten is Philby's father. Who makes him an earl?
During this period of time, I don’t know how many people in the world are discussing the conflict in Kashmir, but obviously India and Pakistan, which are not directly confronted, are more meaningful.
At this moment in New Delhi, at the Supreme Meeting of the Republic of India, Patel is making an impassioned speech, "Ali Singh has escaped from Kashmir and calls on India to take action. For the newborn India, this will be a national struggle. In front of people all over the world, how to change their inherent stereotypes of India and gain a foothold in the world with a new attitude is extremely important to the new India.”
"The Pakistanis must be given a positive response!" A group of cabinet members spoke one after another, supporting the position of the current No. 2 figure in India, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs Patel.
"Jawaharlal, it's time to make a decision." Patel looked at Nehru, waiting for the Prime Minister in front of him to make a statement.
"Accept the request of the Maharaja of Kashmir and prepare to go to war with Pakistan." Nehru was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind. If this is the case, then regard this war as the beginning of a great power.
