"In this way, you go to discuss with the chief executives of the provinces, and the other thing is to keep in touch with the Congress Party and the Muslim League." Sir Barron made a decision after thinking for a moment, "I leave these two matters to you. , I will contact Sir Edward to arrange for the Congress Party and the Muslim League to go to London, and you will inform them of the result. At the same time, I will also meet General Erwin. "

General Erwin was the general of the British Army in India. After Governor Wavell left, the British Army in India was under the command of General Erwin. Working in a colonial environment, if there was no military on the side, how could it be done?

For a drought that is almost doomed, two-handed preparation is required, one is to disintegrate the resistance that may arise. On the other hand, it is to show the strength of one's own side and deter the enemy.

Alan Wilson nodded. Although he worked in the crater, he was unwilling that the volcano actually erupted.

Some people say that the famine broke out in India in 1946 and 10 million people starved to death.

Alan Wilson felt that this was of course a natural disaster, and it had nothing to do with him, but he did his best to make things safe, and the rescue that should be done still had to be arranged.

The bottom line for the Assistant Commissioner of British India is that although there are more adverse situations than in history, the number of deaths due to natural disasters must not exceed that in history.

As long as the number of people who starve to death is less than 10 million, it can be said that the drought has been successful.

Just like a plague that would have killed 2 million people, but after understanding the king's efforts, only 200,000 people have died now. This is an acceptable result!

Leaving Sir Barron's office, Alan Wilson sent telegrams to the governors of the provinces, inviting them to come to the Governor's Palace to catch up.

Although these chief executives are indeed busy and are busy making money in their pockets, they should also show the responsibility of British civil servants at a critical moment. Everyone has to save British India from fire and water.

After all, the emergency telegram from the Governor’s Palace is not a decoration. The chief executives of the provinces are already on their way. I don’t know why the telegram is so urgent this time. From this natural disaster, he showed his true nature as an official and saved hundreds of millions of people from fire and water.

"It's a British India thing again, and in my last year as a cabinet secretary, there never seemed to be a moment's rest."

In the Cabinet Secretary's Office, Edward Bridges shook his head helplessly, and took out a telegram. The above was Sir Barron's proposal to arrange that representatives of the two major forces of British India go to London to publicly express their ideas.

Although it was a suggestion, Edward Bridges, who knew Barron very well, knew that this subordinate would generally not send telegrams. To be able to send telegrams so solemnly was almost a request, not a suggestion.

Norman Brooke frowned, took the telegram handed over, glanced at it and said, "Edward, this is really a headache, let these two parties come to London?"

"Yes, but I have to do it. There are signs of drought in British India. You know, the same drought happened last year. Almost all of the grain reserves in British India have been shipped to the mainland. The granaries are now empty. "Edward Bridges glanced at his partner with a stern look, "Barron means, on the one hand, to divert his attention, and on the other hand to ask us for help. The specific plan is..."

Norman Brooke nodded while listening, "Get the two most powerful parts out of British India reasonably and legally. When they want to make trouble, it won't be so easy."

"If Barron could handle it, he would never have telegraphed. I know him very well." Edward Bridges said solemnly, "As for that little guy Allen, there are countless fantastic ideas in his mind. We don’t need to worry about it if we can come up with a solution, and now we must ask for our assistance, maybe the foreseeable problems will be very serious.”

"General Mountbatten has arrived in Italy, and he will return to the mainland in two days at most. We have a lot of things to do, and now it takes a lot of energy." Norman Brooke sighed, "Can't we be quieter."

"For the civil servants in the colony, we must pay attention to the methods and methods. When they ask for help, no matter how difficult it is, we must do our best to do it, otherwise they will be happy in the colony, why should they listen to us?"

To Norman Brooke, the appointed next cabinet secretary, Edward Bridges should not have said these words.

But if you don't mention it, there will be problems. Maintaining the unity of local civil servants and colonial civil servants is one of the most important things for cabinet secretaries, or even not one of them. Colonial civil servants are the authority of cabinet secretaries.

There is a group of colonial civil servants, and the cabinet secretary is the one who really controls the overall situation. Without the group of colonial civil servants, the cabinet secretary is a humble social public tool.

"Danger is also an opportunity. If the contradiction between the two parties is exposed to the citizens of the British Empire, and even the people of the world, it is so hostile and so cannot coexist. Then maybe our country will reduce a lot of responsibilities."

Edward Bridges tapped the tabletop with two fingers, narrating his thoughts. In fact, up to now, the partition of India and Pakistan has become a high probability event, not what members of Congress thought, maintaining the integrity of British India.

Then once India and Pakistan are partitioned, the responsibility of those members of the Bibi Tao to talk nonsense is the responsibility of the entire British Empire. Is the British Empire responsible for a series of consequences of the partition of India and Pakistan?

If any politician can live up to this responsibility, Edward Bridges is absolutely optimistic. But this responsibility, many countries will only detain Britain's head.

He couldn't open his mouth to say that the partition of India and Pakistan was a foregone conclusion, so it would be better to let people come to London and make this public to everyone.

"Yes, danger is also an opportunity." Norman Brooke was persuaded and felt that Edward Bridges' words made sense, "then I agree with you, and once the Prime Minister asks, I will give the same answer. "

"That's the truth." Edward Bridges nodded, "Norman, you and I must be of the same caliber."

"Danger is also an opportunity. It all depends on how you look at this issue. For you, this might be a good opportunity." Alan Wilson gave a calm judgment.

If it wasn't for Vivien Leigh's jade body, there would be no sense of disobedience to say these words at the meeting with the provincial chief executives. But in fact, many chief executives have not yet arrived in New Delhi.

Alan Wilson first told Vivien Leigh, who had nothing to do with the matter, about the possible famine.

"It is an opportunity for me to have such a big tragedy. Who am I at that time?" Vivien Leigh's face changed slightly, and her tone was also complaining, "Do you really think I am Cleopatra?"

"It's just a matter of fact, don't think too much. On the contrary, the more the disaster, the more determined to show the determination to help each other. Maybe even before leaving, it will leave a deep impression on the Indians. Anyway, this has nothing to do with us, but A catastrophe."

Alan Wilson stared at Vivien Leigh's chest... Feeling that it was inappropriate to do so at this time, he turned his eyes away and continued, "At this difficult time, the whole of British India needs a spiritual sustenance, aren't you just here?"

"What do you want me to do? I can act in movies, but I didn't make food out of thin air." Vivien Leigh looked confused, unable to understand what Alan Wilson was thinking.

"But you have influence, you can express sympathy, you are a public figure, you have been to the United States, you can even appeal to American filmmakers, donate money, donate a little money, and express your kindness. As we all know, that's what people who act in movies love most."

"The little money I took out was a very good deal compared to the widespread praise that followed. Otherwise, what do you think the purpose of charity is? Are you really doing charity?"

Alan Wilson chuckled. He doesn't believe in such a thing. Everything he does is purposeful~lightnovelpub.net~ For example, Jack Ma, who wears the Ant Forest signboard, dares to take the credit of the Three North Shelter Forest for himself. .

He keeps saying that he is not interested in money, and he is not only trying to get money, but what he wants is much more serious than money.

For a profession like a movie star, which requires a personality, as long as Vivien Leigh makes a public appeal, countless people will take this opportunity to express sympathy for the situation in British India, squeeze out two crocodile tears, and talk to actors is not a piece of cake ?

"How do you think about actors? I'm not that kind of person." Vivien Leigh said dissatisfiedly, puffing out her cheeks.

"I didn't tell you, how about another way of saying it? I beg my angel to help the Governor's House get through this difficult time. This time it's really difficult for me." Alan Wilson looked serious, definitely not pretending.

It is very difficult to sit back and watch the drought and show your best efforts. "Before I and the chief executives of the provinces make a decision, you must not leak it. When you need you, you will naturally have the opportunity to show." ."

"Got it!" Vivien Leigh's obedient little girl's face, she could feel that this matter was good for her.

The life of an assistant commissioner is not easy. Working day and night, there is not even time to catch a breath. After the chief executives of each province arrive, they immediately start to discuss countermeasures. The core principle is still the same sentence, danger is also an opportunity.

"Gentlemen, if the famine really happens, I hope that everyone will come to the front line and set an example for civil servants." Alan Wilson slightly forehead, with an unquestionable tone, "Show a sleepless and busy look to fight the famine. "

"But we are really not busy." Andrew, the chief executive of Bangladesh Province, replied with a wry smile.

"Then pretend to be busy," Alan Wilson replied without thinking. "Pretend we're fighting the Great Famine."
