British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 186: Nehru is here

British Civil Servant Volume 186 Nehru came, "Oh, it's Pamela." Burgess gave Alan Wilson a meaningful look, letting the other party understand for himself.

Jadeite, in fact, Alan Wilson thinks it is the representative of the IQ tax, but there is such a nation in this world, there is something called jade culture.

It just so happens that there are many such groups in British Malaya. In terms of output alone, if diamonds are an IQ tax, jadeite is a more specific IQ tax, especially for the Chinese.

There are huge reserves of diamonds. On average, everyone in the world still has one carat. The value of the diamond industry is very low, and it has an irreplaceable position only in the tool and abrasive industry.

The popularity of diamonds is the result of De Beers marketing. Ancient diamonds are mainly produced in India, and the production is very low, so they are precious. After the discovery of diamond mines in South Africa, diamond reserves skyrocketed. De Beers considered the situation, won the ownership of the South African diamond mine, restricted shipments, and created the illusion that diamonds were in short supply.

There are tens of thousands of square kilometers of jadeite veins, and the jadeite produced is calculated by 10,000 tons every year. It is normal for several tons of rough stone to be tens of tons, so there should be no such high price at all. Alan Wilson didn't think jadeite was too precious, but just wanted to follow the example of Imperial Russia's treasure amber house and create a set of furniture for himself when it was not worth much.

Alan Wilson thinks this idea is not excessive, and now Burma is also a colony of the British Empire. If the local people are willing to help him fulfill this small dream, considering the mountains of weapons in post-war European countries, he can expand his support for these ethnic armed groups and exchange scrap iron for broken stones.

Besides, this kind of IQ tax mainly depends on marketing, and the main advertisements are played hard enough. Who said it can't be popular in Europe and America?

If you take into account that Burma became independent in 1948, Alan Wilson tried his best to delay it for a year, and there are still three years to transport these broken stones, the dream of the Emerald House should not be a problem.

It's just that the current new British Burma Commissioner doesn't understand his painstaking efforts, and doesn't understand that this kind of thing is useful for social stability. As long as the advertisements are very good, women will come out to chase after the glittering things.

Considering the identity of Burgess as a spy, Alan Wilson did not reveal too many secrets. Before Burgess arrived in Yangon, Alan Wilson had already contacted local civil servants and asked about the situation of the local Indian National Army prisoners of war. Some of these prisoners of war were abused by the Burmese, and some of them have survived until now.

Coincidentally, the date of this communication with the Congress Party is close to the date of the final trial of the Indian National Army. I heard that another Indian soldier had mutiny, and of course it was quickly resolved without any surprise.

If there is a risk of provoking mutiny again, according to Alan Wilson's idea, don't judge, let the Bamar people act cheaply, and kill all these Japanese lackeys.

Of course, after careful consideration, Alan Wilson decided to see the results of his communication with the Congress Party.

If there is a good result, let these Indian National Army soldiers who are pursuing national independence live a few more days. If the result is not satisfactory, then don't blame the Axis affiliated forces for liquidation.

How to make the Congress Party have scruples in the next two to three years has always been what Alan Wilson thought about when he stepped back on this land.

Possibly within the confines of British India, it may be out of time to take a tough stance.

However, the British Empire is not only the colony of British India, but also many other colonies. This involves another question, namely, what is the role of the Indians in the colonies of the British Empire.

Not counting the colonies of the same language and species in Australia and Canada. Because British India is very important in the British Empire, of course, it can also be exchanged for some privileges, such as acting as a local force to maintain British colonial rule in other British colonies.

If the Congress party dares to adopt a non-cooperative attitude, the typographical wave may not be far away. As the assistant commissioner of British India, Alan Wilson couldn't control other colonies, but he could still intervene in the surrounding areas.

For example, Aden, the city of Aden in Yemen, is located at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, guarding the gateway from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. It is known as the hub of maritime traffic in Europe, Asia and Africa, and is also a world-famous port.

Yemen is in the Arabian Peninsula, and it seems that it has nothing to do with British India, but in fact Aden is a part of British India, but it does not often appear on the map.

Aden was occupied by the British and became a British colony. The British East India Company built a fuel coal warehouse in Aden to refuel the steam engines and ships in the past, and it was the settlement of Aden under the jurisdiction of Mumbai. Like Burma, it was separated from the jurisdiction of British India.

Because it is a transit station in Mumbai, there are many Indians working in Aden. If the Congress Party is not tamed, Alan Wilson may have to send a telegram to the Aden Commissioner.

While preparing for the conference affairs at the Governor's Office, there was also a heated discussion within the Congress Party. As the representative who was brought out, Gandhi had a wide range of influence, and the signboard of the Congress Party naturally had a large number of followers.

The ideals of these followers? In fact, it is similar to Gandhi himself, hoping that the whole of British India will become a large rural area where everyone can live in peace after independence, and oppose the progress of industrialization.

This kind of idea is really nothing new in this era. There are many political parties focusing on agriculture. The Croatian armed forces, which have been at war with the Yugoslav Fatherland Army for a long time, are this kind of proposition.

If it were a few decades from now, Alan Wilson thinks Europe's obsessive environmentalist parties should be the heirs.

Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn't know about the internal discussions of the Congress Party, but it was still full of gunpowder. Gandhi himself insisted on non-violence and non-cooperation. Of course, Nehru also expressed his support for this, but he did not take it seriously, but he was not like the former chairman of the Congress Party who defected to Japan, who insisted on fighting the British one by one. A country established by force.

Nehru and Gandhi were diametrically opposed to the news that the Governor's Palace would be released. Gandhi was against it, believing it was another British conspiracy, while Nehru expressed his support, believing it was a good thing after all.

However, apart from their attitude towards Dajian, the two have a lot in common. For example, they both believe that if they become independent in the future, the entire British India should be independent and avoid splitting into two or more countries.

When the two opinions were arguing, a third-party opinion naturally appeared. The third-party opinion believed that the main focus should be on the bridging of the contradiction between the two major religions claimed by the Governor's Office.

In this way, the question turns to the question of the integrity of British India. If the rift between the two major religions can be bridged and the unity of the whole of India can be preserved, this is what Nehru and Gandhi both agree on.

During this internal discussion, it was finally decided to talk to the Governor's Office in New Delhi.

Contrary to the Congress Party, the Muslim League has spoken out against the construction this time, but it has not turned into a demonstration.

In this way, four days after the Christmas dinner, at the Governor's Palace in New Delhi, Alan Wilson, who represented the Governor's Palace, waited until the Congress Party representatives came to the door.

"Nehru came in person?" Alan Wilson showed a meaningful look after listening to the report of the Secretary of the Governor's Office, but he immediately became calm and said, "I have always paid Mr. Nehru a lofty one. Respects, Mr Nehru is known to be a learned and charismatic leader."

"Alan, how are you going to deal with the leader you say is charismatic?" Sir Barron, who was sitting behind the table, asked, "Don't mix personal feelings into your communication."

"Of course not, Sir Barron." Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly and said politely, "In a formal meeting, no personal prejudice can be mixed in, and besides, I have no personal grudges with Indians."

"Then I'll have a cup of afternoon tea first and wait for your news. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Sir Barron did not move, squatting with a cup of black tea.

Alan Wilson nodded and walked out of Sir Barron's office to the conference room that had been cleaned out.

Nehru was wearing a traditional Indian robe and a white hat. Behind him were representatives of the Congress Party this time. A total of eight people entered the Governor's Palace of British India. Under the watchful eyes of the British guards, they came to the door of the conference room , push the door and enter.

"Welcome to the distinguished guests of the Congress Party!" As soon as the two sides met, Alan Wilson greeted with a gentle smile, saying that he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and in fact he had just come here.

Nehru did not know Alan Wilson, and it could even be said that he had long forgotten to pressure a commissioner in Hyderabad. For Nehru, it was just a trivial matter of nodding in agreement when someone else reported it.

Leaders like Nehru don't seem to go on hunger strike like Gandhi. How can you remember what you did one day a few months ago?

Facing the enthusiasm of a young negotiator, the representative of the Congress Party also responded with a friendly smile, and even greeted him with Hindu etiquette. Alan Wilson also pretended to put his hands together in return.

In the eyes of Hindus, Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism. Of course, this is only considered by Hindus in British India. Buddhists in other regions think it is fart.

After a friendly greeting, the representatives of the two sides took their seats, and Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Actually, I never thought that what many people in London said was true, that the Congress Party is the Bolsheviks of British India, Nehru is another Stalin, and I personally have never quite agreed with what some people say about using drastic measures to deal with the Congress Party."
