British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 224: Award Telegram

Unless Nehru can find a more powerful mind to suppress the discord between the two religions, the partition of India and Pakistan is a foregone conclusion.

Of course, this premise is that Ali Jinnah is safe and sound!

Whether history makes the current situation or the situation makes the hero is a very macro question. Alan Wilson, a mere mortal, cannot answer it, but some tactical modifications can be made.

Now Jinnah is still Jinnah, and Alan Wilson opposite him is now Nehru, and Nehru is Alan Wilson.

Ali Jinnah's plan after the partition can be judged by Alan Wilson's answer whether it is feasible.

After the first point raised by Ali Jinnah, that is, after the clear partition, Alan Wilson gave a very sincere answer, "Once India and Pakistan become two countries, they will definitely turn against each other. The existence of British India just suppresses In all fairness, I personally think that Hinduism is the most backward religion in the world. But after the partition, with Pakistan’s strength, it will definitely not be able to withstand India’s aggression, and the population gap is too far.”

Alan Wilson can find countless examples, but he is most familiar with the history of China, similar to the history of India's crushing of Pakistan, that is, the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar Empire when the world did not have an industrial revolution.

If you just look at the map, half of the territory of the Qing Dynasty of 13 million square kilometers was once ruled by the Zhungar Empire. Just looking at the map is absolutely evenly matched.

In fact, in a short period of time, they were indeed evenly matched. The biggest defeat before the British and the Battle of Tongbo, the Qing army lost 10,000 people. This was the biggest defeat of the Qing army before facing the Europeans.

Don't look at the small number of casualties, but in fact it was the first battle that killed 10,000 people after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.

Being able to kill 10,000 Qing troops who fought like big children in East Asia proved the combat effectiveness of the Junggar Empire.

But the Qing Dynasty had a huge manpower reserve, and if there were not enough bannermen, they would be replaced by Han Chinese. The further back, the less Zhungeer was the opponent of the Qing army.

"Throughout history, the fighting power of Hindus is not as strong as that of the Chinese as Mr. Allen said." Ali Jinnah said that it is not appropriate to use the example of East Asia to generalize the subcontinent.

"I should thank you on behalf of the Chinese." Alan Wilson said seriously, at least they were more honest than those in the Congress Party, "However, the reason is the same, don't mention that the Hindus are several times your population, and the resources are Advantages Mr. Jinnah should also know something, as well as industrial scale. It can be said that the Congress Party has an advantage in anything that can be measured by indicators. Of course, weak countries like to brag about culture, and culture is something that cannot be distinguished. You can close your eyes and ignore objective laws.”

"Would you like me to show Mr. Jinnah the resource reserves and industrial capacity distribution of the Governor's Palace?"

Ali Jinnah was silent. He knew in his heart that the weak past of Hindus in history, at best, can only give peace believers a psychological advantage, but under the crushing data of various aspects, it is almost useless.

This shows that the leaders of the Muslim League admit that if the partition is successful, India's advantage over Pakistan will be crushing.

If you can admit your own weakness, you can continue to talk, and then there is the question of a few powder kegs.

Alan Wilson did not mention Hyderabad and other native states, and asked Kashmir alone, "Ninety percent of Kashmir's population is pacifist, but the Maharaja is a Hindu. How does Pakistan view it?"

"Independence or integration into Pakistan, no matter how you look at it, respect for public opinion Kashmir should not be part of India." Ali Jinnah thought for a while, and then gave a decisive answer.

"It's a pity that Nehru's hometown was at that time." Alan Wilson shook his head helplessly. "If Mr. Jinnah thinks the Congress Party can be reasonable, it is time to join the Congress Party to call on the British to leave. What's going on here? What's the problem? There must be some problems, otherwise Mr Jinnah would not have quit the Congress party."

"Anyway, I am Nehru, and I will definitely not give up my hometown!" As soon as these words came out, Ali Jinnah's words that he wanted to refute were blocked in his throat. Ali Jinnah knew very well what the style of the Congress Party was.

Then Alan Wilson said that once a war begins, the new Pakistan and India will definitely become enemy countries because of the war. In the future, we will continue to invest in the military, because India's foundation is much stronger than that of Pakistan. Under the long-term arms race, Pakistan will not be able to withstand it.

"Mr. Allen, do you want me to give up my demands for independence and founding a country?" Ali Jinnah asked rhetorically, suspecting that Allen Wilson was a lobbyist for the Congress Party.

"Of course not, but such an important matter has to be considered from the worst possible perspective." Alan Wilson flatly denied Ali Jinnah's speculation that the Congress Party was too stingy. Given a lot, he himself doesn't mind being a lobbyist, he will definitely fail anyway.

He just came to remind that Pakistan had better build a consensus and prepare for war. Don't look forward to the future, although this kind of advance reminder is better than nothing, at most it will make the Indian army more dead. It can't change the gap in national strength between India and Pakistan, but who made Alan Wilson a warm-hearted person who couldn't bear the people of the subcontinent to fall into the pit, so he dug the pit bigger.

When the country is going downhill, someone needs to step up and step on the gas pedal, and he is such a person.

Listening to Alan Wilson, all the way from how to treat the native country, how to treat Kashmir, to the position and history of the Congress Party, Ali Jinnah has to admit that Alan Wilson's words are extremely true, and the role of Nehru is just like It's as annoying as Nehru.

"If Patel is here, he seems to be even tougher." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "Gandhi is a person worthy of respect. He plays the role of a saint flawlessly, but he has no ability to govern the country. More The role of a mentor with more knowledge.”

"Patel is even more annoying." Ali Jinnah was silent for a while, a look of disgust flashing across his face.

"In principle, I hope that Pakistan will be safe, but this is not very hopeful. I believe that Mr. Jinnah can also understand that if you can have a preparation for the war in your heart, maybe the result will be satisfactory."

The work of sowing discord has been completed, and Alan Wilson does not intend to stay here any longer. In fact, it cannot be regarded as sowing discord. It is just a preventive response based on real history. Of course, other than making the war more balanced, it is of little use.

"Kashmir!" Ali Jinnah didn't even know when Alan Wilson left, but sat alone in the chair, thinking about how to break the game.

If a place where 90% are pacifists cannot be won, it will undoubtedly be a shame for the new Pakistan. Ali Jinnah, who was thinking hard, even forgot to ask why the British Empire could not Assign Kashmir directly to Pakistan.

There is a farewell reception in the Governor's Palace of India in the evening. Sir Barron organized the staff of the Governor's Palace to praise Governor Wavell's outstanding contribution to the post of Governor of British India.

At this reception, Alan Wilson invited Vivien Leigh to attend the party. He knew that the international actress had a problem with depression and liked this kind of occasion.

In fact, the same is true. Since coming to British India, Vivien Leigh's depression has been much better. Especially after getting to know Alan Wilson, this responsive assistant commissioner played a huge role in it.

From this point of view, Oliver should thank Alan Wilson, who let Vivien Leigh open her heart and become radiant again.

"Do you like this kind of occasion? Ms. Vivian." Alan Wilson asked in a tone that we were not familiar with, with a sanctimonious look, "This should be an occasion you are more familiar with."

"After coming to British India, it's really rare to see such an occasion. I'm always busy and can't stand up!" Vivien Leigh elegantly held the glass of wine~lightnovelpub.net~ glanced at Alan Wilson, and said Puns, "This is the high society of British India, isn't it?"

"It's impossible to say that. We uphold humility and serve the interests of the empire. This kind of reception is very rare." Alan Wilson was startled, and motioned to the demon queen in front of him not to go too far and pay attention to the occasion.

While the two were talking, Governor Wavell wore a military uniform to give a speech, and the civil servants in the hall stopped talking and listened, nothing more than a review of the working process in British India, as well as the body that was injured in the war, it was really impossible Fulfilling the duties of the Governor, he had no choice but to submit his resignation.

At the end, Governor Wavell expressed his gratitude to the affairs officers up and down the governor's palace, and then expressed that the new governor will soon take office, and during this time, British India will be handed over to you, and so on.

Sir Barron also spoke afterwards, expressing admiration for Governor Wavell's service in times of war. His words were touching and impeccable at the same time. All the civil servants at the reception had serious expressions on their faces, suppressing the happiness in their hearts, hoping to hurry up... I was reluctant to part with the Governor's departure.

Just as British India was in the reluctance stage, General Mountbatten, who was serving in the Mediterranean Fleet, packed his bags in a cheerful mood. In the telegram from Whitehall, he affirmed his own achievements as the commander of the Southeast Asian theater, and Said that it may be awarded in the near future.

In the end, he tactfully expressed whether he was busy with military affairs. If he had time, he would come back to do the awarding.

Compared with the reluctance of British India, Mountbatten called back almost immediately and said that he would go back immediately and embarked on the journey back to London.
