British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 216: PR crisis

With Donald Maclean's actions in Ceylon, his deeds also spread from Ceylon to India. Of course, this is with the help of some people, which has shaped Donald Maclean's heroic and resolute image.

The thing is very simple. Anyone who likes to be a hero can be a hero. Civil servants in British India are not interested in being heroes, only money.

In Hindu temples, those who can communicate with the wives of gods are definitely not people of lower castes, and those who can be senior monks or elders must be Brahmins.

These Brahmins are not the richest, but they are there in the Hindu system.

Although the Supreme Court did not intend to make a big deal, it just hoped to find an opportunity to make money. But even so, this is something that offends people, and it is the Brahmin class that offends.

So whether it is Clark or Alan Wilson, it is best that this matter has nothing to do with the Governor's Office of British India, at least on the surface, but let the turmoil in Ceylon blow to British India, and then give it to the Brahmin elders in the temple. An opportunity to punish himself for three cups, the judicial officials have made enough money, and this matter is over.

The rest has nothing to do with British India. The main purpose of filming and documenting the film is not actually for Indians. Documentaries produced by later generations were eventually banned by the Indian government.

The main purpose of this film is actually for other British colonies to watch, to incite and condemn or at least despise Hinduism and Indians, and to curb the expansion of Indian influence in other colonies.

To look at the problem from the perspective of development, in any case, India in this era is indeed much stronger in hardware than China, which has been plagued by Chang Gong’s misfortune. Once the subcontinent is separated from the control of the British Empire, it may cause a demonstration effect.

You must know that after independence, India inherited most of the British power and territory in South Asia. It is the largest country in the subcontinent and the second most populous country in the world. The area of ​​arable land ranks second in the world, and resources such as coal and iron are among the best in the world.

At the same time, as the most important colony of the United Kingdom, India has a strong industrial base. India's steel, textile and other industries are very developed. India's industrial output is second to none in Asia. Now that Japan has been destroyed, India can be called Asia. The first industrial powerhouse.

India produces ten times as much steel as Changgong's country, six times as many workers and twice as much economy.

Later, India, together with Indonesia, Egypt and other countries, launched the Non-Aligned Movement, and most developing countries in the world joined this organization. India, as the initiator, pretends to be the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement and considers itself the leader of the Third World.

In the matter of weakening India, Alan Wilson doesn't care whether the method is useful or not, whether it is useful or not.

Of course, the premise is that the establishment of the British Empire can benefit. If the British cannot benefit, he will not do anything to India, and weakening Hinduism can benefit the British Empire. The most direct point is that there are also Tamils ​​in Malaya. community.

In Alan Wilson's vision, two ethnic groups in British Malaya are enough, and there is no need to play Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the Indian Tamil ethnic group has no role in British Malaya.

For this reason, the group of Indian virgins, adhering to the principle of openness and justice, appeared in the British newspapers. The Minister of Indian Affairs, Lord Pesik-Lawrence has just stepped on the land of the mainland, and he saw that the news about the Hindu saints has swept the mainland.

Citizens of the old-fashioned imperialism only know that British India is an important colony of the British Empire, but they do not know that such outrageous customs are still circulating there. Lord Persik-Lawrence has long claimed to protect the rights of women.

And Lord Pesik-Lawrence is now the Minister of Indian Affairs, a minister who has long appeared in the face of protecting women's rights, but such appalling things have happened in British India. He has just returned to the mainland and has not yet met the Prime Minister. Lord Pesik-Lawrence, who has shown his merits, is first faced with a public relations crisis that is almost imminent.

This is a very damaging PR crisis, and he was still floating at sea when it happened.

He wanted to explain that British Ceylon was not British India, but then he thought that British Ceylon was a royal territory, which would be suspected of shirking responsibility, and the religion was called Hinduism, so it was hard to say that it had nothing to do with British India.

But as a politician, facing a turbulent public relations crisis, Pesik-Lawrence defended himself by finding a solution to the crisis from newspapers expressing admiration for Donald McLean.

Immediately Pesic Lawrence accepted a radio interview with British Radio c, and host Norman Baker gave an exclusive interview to Pesic Lawrence on behalf of c.

Norman Baker is actually looking forward to this interview very much. In the last year, British India suddenly appeared in the public eye. Of course, it appeared with a negative impression. Unconsciously, the citizens of London were very interested in this imperial pearl. Curiosity, but also with the increase in reporting and rising.

It is now well known that the Minister of Indian Affairs, Lord Persik-Lawrence, has just returned from British India. I believe this radio interview will surely arouse the curiosity of many Londoners.

At the beginning of the visit, Norman, in a very unfriendly tone, asked Persik-Lawrence what he thought of the current public opinion on British India, especially from the perspective of the Minister of Indian Affairs.

"Oh, Norman, not only did I know about this, but I led it," Persic Lawrence said in a very assertive statesman's tone. I work and advocate the protection of women's rights, but I don't know much about British India. It is this time that I personally went to British India."

Speaking of this, Pesik-Lawrence suddenly remembered his trip to the Ganges, and the feeling of nausea reappeared, and said with a serious face, "It must be explained that the experience of the colony is not very good, in order to understand A true jewel of the empire, and curious about a lot of the negative news about British India, I checked it out myself."

"Oh, the chancellor's thirst for knowledge is astounding." Norman Baker nodded, applauding Pessic-Lawrence's actions, then asked, "What was the end result?"

"The results are very worrying. I must admit painfully that the reports about India are true. I saw the scene on the banks of the Ganges with my own eyes. Sorry, it is difficult to describe." Not in disguise, he did recall the nightmarish experience again.

After a few seconds, Pesik-Lawrence calmed down and turned to express his appreciation for the long-term work of local civil servants in helping backward peoples enter modern civilization under harsh conditions.

Moreover, many barbaric acts in British India are real, and as the Minister of Indian Affairs, he cannot turn a blind eye.

"So, the minister has a very good understanding of the local situation. What about the existence of the religious saintess group?" Norman Baker did not let Pesik-Lawrence go so easily, but asked the Hindu saintess who had caused public opinion explosions. group thing.

"In my opinion, women's rights must of course be protected, which is what I have always done." Pesik Lawrence, who had been prepared for a long time, had completely adapted to the other party's question at this time, and talked about himself for many years. Since then, he has made contributions to the protection of women's rights and interests, and then changed the topic, "Norman, there are poverty and backwardness in this world, and not all places are bathed in the glory of civilization."

"As for the group of Hindu saints, since I knew about the existence of this group, I couldn't face myself as the Minister of Indian Affairs. I was thinking, should I do something? I can't let this kind of criminal behavior in the British Empire. For this reason, I firmly express my thoughts. In fact, many people are still very suspicious, but I cannot stop my determination to do this.”

"So, the Minister is very supportive of Commissioner McLean's actions?" Norman Baker understood~lightnovelpub.net~, but he still asked, "I don't know what the Minister has to say about the actions so far. "

"I have nothing to say about the actions I lead and implement, but I am prepared to meet all the consequences." Persic-Lawrence leaned on the back of his chair, crossed his fingers, and said solemnly, "As for Commissioner McLean's actions , I can only say that it reflects the professionalism and moral standards of the imperial civil servants, which is worthy of appreciation. It is a model of the imperial professional team!"

"I believe that today's visit can answer the doubts in the hearts of many citizens, and at the same time have a deeper understanding of the minister himself. Thank the minister for accepting our radio interview."

At the end of the visit, Norman Baker expressed his gratitude to Pesik-Lawrence and asked casually, "Minister, the visit is over, and I didn't ask many tough questions, such as, as a minister, do you acquiesce to British India? The occurrence of all kinds of backward customs."

"Of course not." Persic-Lawrence glanced at the microphone, and as long as he was in the studio, whether the interview was over or not, it was as if the microphone was on and the recording equipment was running.

The next morning, C broadcasted an interview with Indian Affairs Minister Pesik Lawrence about the questions of domestic citizens. During the interview, Pesik Lawrence's bold statement made many citizens very satisfied.

The visit made Pesik-Lawrence's image, along with Donald McLean, a positive image of civic word of mouth, and a PR crisis vanished.

"Our minister, but we are very supportive of the current action. Since this is the minister's proposition, we will implement it without hesitation. I believe that the judicial side is ready." Sir Barron put down the newspaper with a proud look on his face. Said, "I know, everyone is a little anxious."
