British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 108: Cabinet Secretary endorsement

Seeing Alan Wilson's silence, Edward Bridges asked, "Now I ask you a few questions, will British India flourish once it becomes independent."

"British India will definitely fall into chaos, the two long-repressed religions will be merged, and fifteen major states, including Hyderabad, are certain factors, but from what I know about Ali Khan, he will not choose Incorporated into India. But Nehru's fundamentals are too strong, and given him time he will be able to resolve these issues." Alan Wilson told the truth, and that was what happened later.

"Very good!" Edward Bridges nodded in approval, then asked, "Do you think the independence of British India is a good thing for the British Empire?"

"Of course not, British India is the most important colony of the British Empire. Once independence, it will have an impact on the vast colonies of the British Empire. This will make our civilization go backwards. For more than a hundred years, we have continued to strengthen British India, but India The nationalists in the country will not appreciate it and think it should be, they will only pursue the ancient and greatness of India, and if the development does not go well, it must be the fault of the colonizers."

It was very good to say again, Edward Bridges said with satisfaction, "Mr. Churchill and Prime Minister Attlee have different views on the issue of British India. Prime Minister Churchill believes that it should be suppressed, but our British Empire In fact, it is impossible to do it, and Prime Minister Attlee thinks that it should be given up, but I personally don't agree with it very much."

What Edward Bridges meant inside and outside of his words was that he hoped that British India would stand at the last post. In fact, this is also Alan Wilson's idea. In terms of the independence of British India, the British Empire is still a little too merciful.

Maybe it was because he thought that there would be a chance to make a comeback in the future. It was not like France, which swept the colonies upside down before leaving, but from the point of view of later days, it was the French way that was more shocking.

Although in the colonial era, France was far less successful than the British, but in the post-colonial era, France maintained a greater influence on the original colonies.

In Alan Wilson's eyes, he can find countless serious problems facing India with his eyes closed, and even if there are no problems now, as long as he is given the opportunity to return to British India, he can create problems.

Although the premise of creating problems, Hinduism must be stronger than peace religion cannot be changed. But in other respects he is still very thoughtful.

Opportunities are at hand, Edward Bridges, as cabinet secretary, plays a decisive role in the deployment of civil servants. With more enthusiasm than the Potsdam Conference, Alan Wilson articulated his vision of using British India to pull the British Empire out of the quagmire, including his imagined dual price system.

The dual-track price system refers to a price management system in which the national unified pricing and market-regulated prices coexist for the same commodity. It is formed due to the simultaneous implementation of two operating mechanisms of planned adjustment and market adjustment. It mainly involves the price of food and the price of means of production.

Countries that often use this method have good relations with the Soviet Union, but the principle is the same. This method of relying on administrative power for emergency rescue can now be done by the United Kingdom, which is what Alan Wilson envisaged before, using the grain of British India. Stabilize the order in the German-British-occupied areas, and import the industries recovered from the German-British-occupied areas to British India.

The British Empire is in the middle, controlling the pricing power of German industrial products and British Indian agricultural products, and taking the difference from it to restore the prosperity of the British mainland. Once the British mainland returns to the pre-war level, it can redeploy resources to the major colonies. .

There is also the Imperial Preferential System within the British Empire, which can be used as a boost for this deployment. The key is efficiency.

However, the British-occupied areas of Germany were in a de facto state of military administration, while British India was directly a colony. At present, the British Empire has no shortage of administrative power in these two places.

Finally, Edward Bridges' question is that once British India becomes independent, I am afraid that the local citizens will not be able to accept this gap. This point can also be answered by Alan Wilson. The corpse floating in the Ganges, the **** tragedy, as long as it occupies a page on the BBC Months, British citizens can probably accept it in their hearts.

"I would say that Sir Barron is still good at finding talent." Edward Bridges asked a few questions, all of which were answered satisfactorily, especially about the pricing system for the linkage between British India and the British occupation of Germany. Very attractive to him.

"At your level, tell the Prime Minister that these plans are not credible." Edward Bridges thought for a moment, "If the Prime Minister comes to you, you only need to keep the content of British India. How? To maintain the influence of the British Empire, if the Prime Minister asks, I will come up with this plan for you, hey, it is not easy, the Americans can keep an eye on it."

"Sir Edward, in fact, the colonial empire is not only our British Empire, but also France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal. If we can get the support of these countries on the colonial issue~lightnovelpub.net~ Our room for change is possible. It would be much bigger." Alan Wilson remained humble as he offered advice, and it was up to Edward Bridges to judge whether it would be implemented or not.

"Actually, on this issue, there is a suitable candidate to be the executor." A smile appeared on the corner of Edward Bridges' mouth, "Deputy Secretary-General is still too early for you, if you really want to If you want to go back to India, you can go back under the name of the Liaison Officer of the Ministry of Indian Affairs and be Barron's assistant at the same time."

Isn't this progress? Alan Wilson's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking excitedly, "Can I go back to British India?"

"Of course! And I can see that your love for British India cannot be concealed." Edward Bridges nodded in approval, "but it may take two or three months to arrange, the Potsdam Conference. After the end, the Prime Minister will definitely be busy with domestic issues, and when the time is right, I will transfer you back to New Delhi. Of course, I am very much looking forward to your good vision.”

After coming out of Edward Bridges, Alan Wilson felt that he was walking with wind. What is a dream come true? That's it. Although it may take two or three months to arrange, he is full of energy now.

Not to mention that Edward Bridges wants to raise his rank and directly become an assistant to Sir Barron at the level of Deputy Secretary-General. Once the work of British India is done beautifully, I believe it will be able to stand in London.

It is worthwhile since he arrived in Europe, he devoted himself to the British Empire, and traveled almost all over Western Europe, from France to Austria.

"Nehru, you are waiting for me." Alan Wilson expressed his longing for the powerful country in a tone of anticipation.
