v1 Chapter 241: impossible unity

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

Sir Barron first set the tone that the scale of the drought was expected to be unprecedented since the advent of British India. Coverage far beyond the year of the Great Bengal Famine.

This is absolutely alarmist. The great famine in India a hundred years ago, the famine range was 700,000 square kilometers, which is already a very terrifying number. In terms of area, this is one-third to one-quarter the size of British India.

It is completely in line with the description of the great famine in the world in ancient Chinese history books. If it exceeds the area of ​​the previous great famine, to fight against something, it is better to surrender early with white underwear over your head.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he used a heavy tone to set the tone of imminence and attributed the main reason to the drought.

At the same time, he said that the Governor's Office of British India has warned in advance, which can be regarded as an effort to contain it. Now he hopes that the Muslim League and the Congress Party will abandon their previous suspicions and jointly deal with the Governor's Office.

Of course, this is not the whole story. Sir Barron later said that if there is a large-scale drought, it will be difficult for the subcontinent to survive the difficulties, because the population of British India is too large, no matter how rescued the mainland is, it cannot meet the needs here.

What's more, the United Kingdom itself is an island country, and it is not good at agriculture. It is a well-known fact that the United Kingdom needs to import food to meet its domestic demand.

Regarding the problem of the overpopulation of British India, it is also a euphemism. The famous British Prime Minister Churchill's more straightforward words about the Bengal famine were, "It's all the fault of the Indians, they are breeding like rabbits. ."

But when the Ukrainian famine broke out in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, Churchill once said at full speed, "It is a well-known fact that Stalin used natural disasters to purge the Ukrainians who had been disobedient."

The famine in British India was the fault of the Indians because the Indians reproduced like rabbits. It was Stalin's fault that the famine broke out in Ukraine. Stalin deliberately wiped out the Ukrainians with the help of natural disasters.

It is undeniable that the Soviet Union and countries similar to the Soviet Union, because of the issue of good face, have indeed done their own countries to tighten their belts and try their best to help other countries.

But Churchill's remarks are not believed by most people with IQs. As for most people in the world who have no IQs, that is another problem.

Sir Barron's words mainly revolved around two points. First, it was a natural disaster. Second, there were too many Indians to save. After setting the tone, he said that the Governor's Office has been doing its best recently, which is a fact that everyone can see.

"We have been trying our best to help the Indians, but with little success." Alan Wilson's voice was heavy and his tone was very sad, "but it must be admitted that many people are antagonistic to the decision-making of the Governor's Office. Not only do they not obey the Governor's Office's decisions The order is also specifically reversed. For example, the hoarding behavior in many cities, the stabilization of food prices in the year of famine is the most important thing. Once panic is caused, even if there is no shortage of food, there will be panic rush for food, resulting in Food prices are rising, let alone now.”

Seeing the expressions of approval from the leaders of the Muslim League and the Congress Party, Alan Wilson continued, "These are extraordinary times. No matter how the Congress Party and the Congress Party protest, I must first state the position of the Governor's Office. As for the problem of hoarding, as long as the drought lasts for a day, the treatment of the Governor's Palace has always been a severe blow. In order to save more people, sometimes it is inevitable to kill some bad people. "

Alan Wilson's face change in Sichuan opera shocked Gandhi. Even Ali Jinnah and Nehru frowned and didn't know what they were thinking.

"Alan is a young man after all. Sometimes when facing a crisis, he is impulsive. He wants too much that the drought will pass soon." Sir Barron said lightly, "This is just an expression of indignation, hope Dear guests, don't mind."

"The most important thing now is unity. Although the difficulties are very great. But if I can get the help of the Congress Party and the Muslim League, I personally believe that British India can survive the crisis this time."

Sir Barron first shrugged off the blame, saying that it was all the fault of the Indians, and then when it came time to give sweet dates, he was optimistic about the future of British India.

Alan Wilson is still an upright person, saying that in fact, the Governor's Office has always known what the Congress Party and the Muslim League want, and he understands the idea of ​​wanting independence, but as a manager, British India itself has no decision-making power.

The decision-making power is in London, and now both parties have ruled out delegations to London for talks. Before things come to fruition, the two parties will also help the Governor's Office to tide over the difficulties.

"Unless the interests of the party are above the safety of the people of the entire subcontinent, otherwise, I can't think of why we can't unite. Now the time is pressing, and the situation is several times more serious every day." Alan Wilson said with the words of moral kidnapping, " If this happens, it's hard to imagine what you are advocating for independence."

"I don't know what the specific measures of the Governor's Palace are." Nehru glanced at the British man on the opposite side and asked the most concerned question.

Of course, there is a hunger strike for Gandhi! However, the atmosphere has not been set in place, and it is inappropriate to say that now.

He waved and asked Edel to take out some telegrams and put them in front of the representatives of the Congress Party and the Muslim League. There was also Lagardia, the director of the United Nations Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation Agency, about the famine that spread to Eurasia. There were signs of famine in a wide area, from the Rhine to the Han River.

After cutting off Nehru's suggestion that he wanted foreign aid, he would only supply the mainland with foreign aid. What do the local elites in these colonies think? There are not many places that can be said now that do not suffer from food shortages.

"Considering the huge population of British India, the fight against the drought this time must be based on self-help." Alan Wilson said with a serious face, "Only by letting the majority of people work hard together can we get good results."

"We have also used diplomatic agencies to inquire about the situation of other countries and seek goodwill assistance from friendly countries." Sir Barron once again showed the demeanor of the weak link of imperialism, and did not say anything.

Of course, it takes time to seek foreign aid, and extensive mediation is needed. There may be things that cannot quench thirst in the near future. Therefore, Sir Barron also said that his assistant was right. To fight this drought, we must rely on self-help.

Near noon, at the lunch hosted by the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the Governor's Office brought out the prepared Indian flying cakes, indicating that the Governor's Office is now saving food and clothing, practicing diligence and thrift, and fighting against this time together with the people of the subcontinent. of drought.

The attitude has already been laid out. Even the ruling center of British India and the Governor's Office of British India are frugal and share the burden with the general public of British India. What else is there to blame.

After lunch, the talks began to enter the deep water area, which is based on the basis of self-help, how to maximize the rescue of more people, and now the granary of United Province has been reimbursed by a fire.

The Bangladeshi province itself is densely populated and it struggles to produce food supplies on its own. There is no room for supply elsewhere.

The problem again comes to the granary of British India, Punjab, which is a province where the pacifists have an absolute advantage, probably sharing the account with the Sikhs.

Decades later, the people who surrounded New Delhi because of Modi's agricultural reform issues were the Sikhs in the Indian state of Punjab.

A matter of the Governor's Office made an unsalted appeal, hoping that the Muslim League could show solidarity and use the surplus food to support other areas. Of course, it is just an appeal, not mandatory.

This almost made Nehru angry, and the local governor's office, which should not be forced, insisted on its own opinion.

Where it should be enforced, the Governor's Office began to say that everyone is good to discuss, but don't force it.

Punjab is the granary of British India. Is it not a matter of the Governor's Office to mobilize food? Now that these British people have turned around beautifully, don't they let themselves go to Ali Jinnah and come to the door to be slaughtered?

Ali Jinnah glanced at Nehru, and his heart was quite complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that Nehru would speak, on the other hand, he was afraid that the other party would speak, and the drought would come.

"This time the drought has affected a wide range of places, and there is a large population of pacifists." Before Nehru spoke, Ali Jinnah decided not to embarrass the old opponent, saying that the pacifists had no surplus.

"We also know that this drought is for everyone, no matter what religion he is." Alan Wilson sullen, he waited for Ali Jinnah's words, and said in a heavy tone, "It involves religion. The problem, the Governor's Office is not suitable for making a statement, the affairs of British India have always been complicated..."

Even taking out the food from Punjab~lightnovelpub.net~ is actually not enough, not to mention what disaster relief, the United Kingdom still has to help the British-occupied areas recover, so no food?

The Governor-General's Office tends to take a non-interventional attitude, making Nehru so angry that he really wants to fight the case. This is the method of divide and conquer. For over a hundred years, the British have never changed.

"Thank you for the understanding of the Governor's Palace. As I said before, regardless of beliefs and regions, this drought is for everyone. The root is self-help, not begging for help." Ali Jinnah expressed to Sir Barron Thank you, and at the same time tell Nehru sideways, ask yourself for more blessings.

As for the hope of Punjab's food, the suggestion to pull a handful of other places was just dead.

Sir Barron did not hold on to it, but said he would find an opportunity to communicate privately. After all, even a party leader would have to go back and persuade his supporters. Don't be in such a hurry.

The last topic is about the central idea of ​​this meeting. After the food issue in Punjab was unsuccessful, the pressure was on Gandhi. Alan Wilson suggested at the right time, "What does Mr. Gandhi think about the movement to save food? ?"
