British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 24: Recall the Governor's Palace

Although the British Empire is not as good as the post-war America and the Soviet Union, it is worse than the fact that it has a big enough plate. There are still many places that can be operated. In addition to British India, there are also British Malaya, British Middle East, British Africa and so on.

Alan Wilson didn't know when the sleepiness struck, so he simply packed his things and fell on the head of the bed.

Hyderabad state, the initial communication between the state union and the Portuguese to make white gloves is still going on, and a few days later, it has almost been carried out.

On this day, Ali Khan called Alan Wilson to the palace, his thin face was a little serious, and he revealed a piece of news that was enough of a thunderbolt, "Maybe in a few days, New Delhi will find you again."

"I just came back!" Alan Wilson was shocked and felt that something was unusual. If the British India Governor's Office recalled himself, he would just send a telegram directly.

And there doesn't seem to be anything important recently involving his work. His work in Hyderabad is still quite far from his work in British India, so it can't be said to have any influence.

A gloom flashed across Ali Khan's face, and he said coldly, "It seems that the representative of your native state came to Hyderabad this time, and the Congress Party noticed that it was Nehru who put pressure on the Governor's Palace."

"He really knows how to pick the time." Alan Wilson muttered indignantly. It seemed that he had suffered from his age. When he did things, he thought too simply, which attracted the attention of the Congress Party.

Putting pressure on it at this time has to be said to be a good opportunity. The better the situation is, the more the Governor-General of British India does not want to lose the chain, hoping that the British India will remain stable and end the world war.

Nehru's attention was drawn because of the Gathering in Hyderabad. Do you want to kill the chicken and set an example? However, this possibility cannot be ruled out, and Alan Wilson's mood suddenly became extremely bad.

"Alan, I've been in touch with Sir Barron and appreciate your experience as Commissioner in Hyderabad. From the tone of the telegram, things are not serious and may need to be prepared." See Ali Khan When Alan Wilson was a little worried, he said with relief, "And I also prepared some gifts for Sir Barron. You can bring them when you return to New Delhi. It shouldn't be difficult to pass the customs."

Alan Wilson was a little surprised that Ali Khan was able to do this. Sure enough, the ignorance that exists widely in British India can also breed some true temperaments.

When the words came to his lips, Alan Wilson seemed to remember something, and said his thoughts in a communication tone, "Respected Maharaja, there is actually a person who should not be out of your sight."

"Who?" Ali Khan was stunned, and quickly recalled important political figures in British India, but he was not sure who Alan Wilson was talking about?

"General Mountbatten." Alan Wilson said decisively, "I don't know what the result of returning to New Delhi this time will be. Will the Governor's Office transfer me because of Nehru's pressure, although from you and According to Sir Barron's telegram, the tone is still mild, but I must think more about it, Your Majesty, I am still the Commissioner of Hyderabad, and I want to communicate with you very sincerely and fulfill my responsibilities."

Alan Wilson said these words with sincerity. In a sense, he is still far from a real old civil servant, and when he came to Hyderabad to take office, he did so with sincerity.

So when dealing with Ali Khan, he, the Hyderabad commissioner, really thought about the monarch of Hyderabad. Help Ali Khan figure out a way to maintain his status as an independent kingdom, even if he knows in his heart that success is unlikely.

"Mountbatten?" Ali Khan muttered the name. Of course, he knew that the owner of this name was the current commander of the Southeast Asia Theater and the supreme commander of the British and Indian Army. But that's all, the other party is a royal family, who commanded the legion to fight during the war, which can be understood as being a member of the royal family and leading by example.

However, as a soldier, what effect does it have on the current political situation in British India? The interference of royals in politics has long since disappeared in the UK?

If it wasn't for the First World War, which hit the British aristocracy hard, how could it have disappeared so easily? Seeing Ali Khan's expression, Alan Wilson knew that the other party didn't care much, and emphasized, "Your Majesty, I am very serious about suggesting that General Mountbatten plays an important role in the royal family. The relationship between Prime Minister Churchill and General Mountbatten very good!"

Hearing the name of Prime Minister Churchill, Ali Khan changed into a solemn color. For the British colonies all over the world, the name of Prime Minister Churchill is still familiar, and the people in these colonies still cannot feel the outside world of the United States and the Soviet Union It's embarrassing to set off the British Empire.

But Alan Wilson knew that in the war, Mountbatten was much more powerful than Churchill, who was like a bullfight. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com has maintained a good relationship with allied forces on all fronts after becoming the commander of the Southeast Asia Theater.

During the Burma campaign, the armies of the Allied countries did not cooperate with each other, looked down on each other, and were defeated by the Japanese army, putting British India in danger.

The most important thing is that Mountbatten will be appointed as the governor of British India immediately after the war. The future of India is decided by Mountbatten, and it is Mountbatten who took over as the last governor of India and dominated India. Partition.

Soon the telegram from New Delhi arrived in Hyderabad. It was indeed as Ali Khan said, and the words were all in a peaceful tone, but Alan Wilson, who had entered the primary stage of speaking, did not believe the content of the telegram. Mandarin is not limited to certain countries.

This time when Alan Wilson returned to New Delhi, Ali Khan took a bag of gold as a gift and asked Alan Wilson to take him to the event. Alan Wilson, who had only been in office for three months, had to return to the heart of British India for the second time to accept An uncertain fate.

The assistants who followed to Hyderabad came to see them off, thinking that it was just a routine for their boss to go back.

At this time, the Rhine River defense line in the European direction has been fully broken through, and the British Burma's offensive is also in full swing. The Japanese army entrenched in Burma has initially had a tragic omen.

The weather in New Delhi was sunny, and the sun was shining through the window of the Governor's Palace. Sir Barron said after hesitating, "Why did you organize a party in the capital and invited the Portuguese. Do you know that the The offensive still needs the manpower and material resources of British India to support it. You should know something about the views of the Congress Party, right?"
