British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 198: minister and actor

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of British Civil Service!

In Alan Wilson's words, when the British Empire needed an image spokesperson to appease the anger of the masses of the British Indians, an actor should make sacrifices, and patriotism is a basic requirement, no matter if it is a movie actress or something.

Is it too much for an actor to come to British India at a cost of time for the benefit of the British Empire? Alan Wilson doesn't think it's too much, because it shows that the whole of the UK has recognized Vivien Leigh's status, otherwise why not invite others to come?

"It still makes sense. In fact, to promote the protection of women's rights and interests, the image of Vivien Leigh is of course suitable." Pesic-Lawrence frowned and thought for a long time, and he must admit in his heart that apart from Vivien Leigh, there is really no such thing. There are other candidates with more image and influence.

While thinking about this, before he made up his mind, Alan Wilson added another fire next to him, "Vivien Leigh was born in British India. From what I know about Indians, Indians are actually very vain and happy to meet some Celebrities have a relationship with India, and there will definitely be unintended effects."

Vivien Leigh was born in Darjeeling, a small town in West Bengal, India. Due to its high altitude and its location on a sheltered hillside, it is cool and pleasant in summer. Coupled with the fragrant tea gardens, it has become a summer resort.

During the British India period, it developed as a summer retreat for British residents to escape the hot summers on the plains. Many people climbed the southern foothills of the Himalayas on horseback and experienced an extraordinary adventure life.

Alan Wilson is not lying, it should be said that the mentality of Muqiang in backward areas is common, and it is just a more or less problem. Once upon a time, China also had the idea that blood is thicker than water for overseas Chinese, but in fact, except for the Chinese ethnic group in Malaysia, overseas Chinese generally are not friendly to the same ethnic group.

As long as you don't see fellow villagers and stab them at each other, it's already a friendly gesture in the sense that blood is thicker than water.

As for India, the situation is even more serious. Any large international company with an Indian-born CEO can be published in Indian newspapers, arousing the pride of many Indians. More than that.

That's all in the 21st century, and in India, which is still being colonized by Britain, this mentality will only get worse.

As long as Vivien Leigh comes to British India and says casually for a long time, for example, I am the daughter of India, it is estimated that it will be welcomed by hundreds of millions of Indians. The arrival of this international actress may also lead to a wave of imitation.

Hearing that Vivien Leigh was born in British India, Persik-Lawrence was finally persuaded and decided to let the current British treasure act as a bridge between the British Empire and the colonies.

"You can use some extra influence, maybe there are unexpected effects." Persik-Lawrence decided to give it a try.

"This method can be called the flexible use of soft power." Alan Wilson is ready to send a telegram. For the stability and prosperity of British India, and for the future of the entire British Empire, this kind of thing cannot be delayed for a moment.

He also helped the Minister of Indian Affairs to propose the use of soft power. Alan Wilson is really excited to think about it.

On the same day, the imperial mission telegram written by Alan Wilson was delivered to London, which also included Alan Wilson's use of soft power, saying that using an actress well, the effect is even comparable to a fleet.

Soft power refers to spiritual power, including soft elements such as political power, cultural power, and diplomatic power. Facing the current British India, the British Empire must use the culture, values, social system and other factors that affect its own development potential and appeal, rather than blindly relying on the Royal Navy.

The most important thing is that the Royal Navy is now No. 2 in the world. The navy is actually very embarrassing. As long as it is not No. 1, the number is almost the same in the eyes of the No. 1.

However, for a colony like British India, the Royal Navy can still play the role of hard power as a foil for soft power. The combination of the two may be better.

Vivien Leigh, an international actress born in British India, is a perfect soft power tool in the eyes of Alan Wilson. The telegram hopes that Vivien Leigh can shoulder the responsibility of the empire and do her best for the British Empire.

Soon the Ministry of Indian Affairs sent Alan Wilson's telegram to the cabinet secretary, Sir Edward, to Prime Minister Attlee.

Sir Edward elaborated on the situation of British India in detail, and finally said, "Now the civil servants up and down the Indian Governor's Office are trying their best to maintain the apparent stability of British India, just to extract the wealth of British India as much as possible from the mainland. The effect of building the homeland is very obvious, the spending of British India in the first month of this year has dropped significantly, and the funds provided to the homeland have increased compared to when the improvement began in November."

"With current trends, the end of rationing at home is not far off, but this also has to take into account the work of the British Occupied Trade Commission."

At least it's off to a good start, with data from all quarters proving that things are improving in the UK itself, and the pressure on Prime Minister Attlee has indeed eased considerably.

Of course, this improvement was based on the strict rationing system in the British-occupied German territories, the deprivation of surplus value, and the withdrawal of funds from British India.

Although somewhat immoral, who made British India a colony and Germany a defeated country? Seeing that the local economy has improved, Prime Minister Attlee does not care whether it is ethical to do so. It is very moral to allow the UK to recover as soon as possible.

"Soft power?" Prime Minister Attlee said with a wry smile after listening to Sir Edward's words, "This kind of influence should have some effect. When did we start relying on this kind of thing? But now the mainland is still recovering, it can be used. As long as it works, we will not reject it."

As a prime minister who is in danger, the most important thing for Attlee now is to pull the UK out of the quagmire. As for what morality is immoral, this kind of thing can be discussed later. He is the Prime Minister of Great Britain after all, not the Chancellor of Germany or the Governor-General of British India.

It is naturally impossible for Vivien Leigh's matter to appear in the discussion between the cabinet secretary and the prime minister. Sir Edward just glanced at it and let the secretary of the Home Office handle the matter.

Soon Vivien Leigh met the civil servants from the Ministry of the Interior, hoping that Vivien Leigh could contribute to the country, become a bridge between the British mainland and British India, promote the civilization of the civilized world, expand the influence of the United Kingdom in British India, and all of them are very tall. on the excuse.

Although it is narrated in a negotiated tone, it still expresses the hint of whether or not to refuse the most. And said that this is an opportunity to represent the image of the British Empire, and it is a huge honor to be the spokesperson of the country.

"I am willing to make my own contribution to peace." As soon as Vivien Leigh heard the status of the country's spokesperson, she was quite enlightened that I would not be sleepy, and expressed her willingness to give up other jobs and go to British India to change the situation of Indian women.

Not to mention the local affairs, after the exchanges with the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the three cabinet ministers have understood that it is basically impossible to bridge the contradiction between the two religions.

Of course, the negotiation has to continue, because this is the task arranged by the Prime Minister, but in addition, the three cabinet ministers have begun to change in different aspects. complicated situation.

The Minister of Commerce, Cripps, praised the construction of the Kolkata Industrial Zone in public, saying that once the construction is completed, it will be the day when British India will be reborn. , appear in the eyes of the world.

Admiralty Alexander, from the perspective of the two world wars in British India, showed that India has all the elements of strength. At the same time, he also shouted for the Indian soldiers at the British military bases around the country, saying that the London government has always attached great importance to the welfare of Indian soldiers, and said that discrimination against Indian soldiers will be strictly prohibited. Any discrimination by British officers against Indian soldiers is immoral. should be condemned.

He also said that the Indian Governor's Office has started to improve. Regarding the treatment of Indian soldiers, it is just that there are too many soldiers involved, so it may take several months to a year to make plans.

Of course there is such a plan. Alan Wilson cannot forget the contribution of Indian soldiers in the war. When the day when British India becomes independent, he will complete the plan to improve the treatment of soldiers. handed over to Nehru.

It is hoped that India, whose finances will dry up and the Kolkata industrial zone will disintegrate, will have the financial resources to allow Nehru to implement the plan to improve the treatment of soldiers.

The Secretary of State for Commerce and the Secretary of State for the Navy, each expounding on India's advantages from different perspectives, has little time left for Persik Lawrence, Secretary of State for Indian Affairs.

In the end, we can only start with the field of expertise, and praise Indian women as the most attractive women in the world, and then extend it to Indian men. Words such as diligence and bravery are all applied to show that they are optimistic about British India. .

"How can this be more unreliable than my boasting about the nuclear war in ancient India?" Looking at the newspaper's praise of Indian Affairs Minister Pesik Lawrence for Indians, Alan Wilson had a sour expression.

At least Alan Wilson believes that he is telling lies, and no one with knowledge will believe those fabricated histories.

Compared with Alan Wilson's falsified history, Persik Lawrence's statement is very damaging. When these ministers act, they are no less than professional actors.
