British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 244: Katharine Hepburn

The more this time, the more cautious, Pamela still wants to follow her to take office in New Delhi. She doesn't want to offend her father at this time, so she directly starts the action of taking the best policy, or she can turn strategically.

The newly married Patricia was very surprised to welcome her sister, only to know that Mountbatten had been appointed as the Governor of British India, representing London to handle the affairs of British India.

"Carte blanche, doesn't it have to be approved by London?" Patricia was taken aback. Even if she didn't know much about politics, she knew that carte blanche was not something that ordinary people could get, especially the carte blanche of British India, which was the foreign affairs department of London. most concerned.

After the East India Company became British India, this right was limited only by communication technology. Now, the cabinet is actually trying to let my father take office, so that my father can handle the affairs of British India without the approval of the cabinet?

"Yes, I was very worried at first." Pamela exclaimed in a fluke-like tone. She also asked New Delhi if there was any roundabout way. Unexpectedly, the cabinet agreed directly. The father's seemingly disrespectful request.

Both sisters were very surprised by the decision of the cabinet. Although they did not involve politics, they were from good backgrounds. After hearing and seeing, they also knew that this appointment was a bit abnormal.

The two sisters did not know that, in fact, according to history, their father, after gaining full power to deal with British India, also tossed the Labour cabinet in London a lot.

In his speech, Attlee had originally decided to resolve the British India issue in two years, that is, in 1948. However, when General Mountbatten arrived in British India, he determined the plan for the partition of India and Pakistan in half a year, and then he couldn't wait to declare India's independence.

The news was like a detonated bomb, which immediately caused an uproar all over the world. In the British Parliament, in the Prime Minister's residence, in Buckingham Palace, there was an atmosphere of shock everywhere. No one, not even Prime Minister Attlee, could have imagined that Mountbatten would so impatiently lower the curtain of the British Empire in India.

At this time, it was only five months before Mountbatten arrived in British India. The last Governor of British India made British India disappear and two countries were born.

Now that history is slightly different, Alan Wilson is waiting in New Delhi, waiting for this slightly skewed governor to take office, and is ready to revise history, the cabinet said that the problem will be solved in 1948, Then one day can't be missed.

In all fairness, Mountbatten is more unwilling to take office than in history, and his daughter's reason is only one of them. The problem is that there is a drought in British India right now, and the scale is huge, which is a well-known fact.

He didn't think about British India, fighting this drought that didn't know when it would end. Therefore, although he accepted the appointment, he was not ready to set off immediately and waited until the drought was contained before taking office.

Alan Wilson, who has always had an inner ghost lurking beside the future governor, of course, did not know by accident that Mountbatten wanted to wait until the end of the drought to take office, and thus began to comfort Pamela.

General Mountbatten has been appointed Governor of British India.

Even if Mountbatten performed the duties of the Governor of British India in London, there would be no opinion from the Governor's Office to the Supreme Court, and he might be even happier.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion, when the new governor arrives is not very important. The civil servants who came to British India later were happier, and it was nothing, everyone was busy fighting the drought.

And fighting drought under the attention of the world, British India has never been noticed by the world like this. Regarding Indians, it is still the pronoun of inaction, female hell. Gandhi's painting style is diametrically opposite and is universally acclaimed around the world.

In this kind of environment where the whole world is paying attention and the British Indian colonial government is doing its best to fight against the drought, Vivien Leigh finally arrived in the United States, which is not unfamiliar. She has been to the United States many times. The movie Gone with the Wind, which became famous all over the world, was shot in the United States.

At the 12th Academy Awards, "Gone with the Wind" was nominated for 15 nominations and finally won 10 awards, becoming the biggest winner of that session.

Vivien Lei's beauty was not discovered by the world until she was about twenty-five years old. In "Gone with the Wind", those tireless close-ups proclaimed that God has brought another angel to the world, and her soul-sweeping eyes are full of sweetness, and there is a hint of willfulness in her willfulness. A nervousness of panic and preparedness.

It's just that after a world war, the United States, which was hailed as the country of the future, has now successfully climbed to the top of the world. The British Empire, which dominated the international situation before the war, now has the meaning of a desolate aristocrat.

Vivien Leigh doesn't know if this will affect her trip to the United States this time, but it doesn't seem to be! She was still popular across Hollywood circles and was instantly featured in Los Angeles' entertainment newspapers.

Regarding the arrival of Vivien Leigh, the local newspaper commented, "Her pale green eyes are pure without a trace of brown, with black eyelashes and raised corners, they look full of charm, with two thick black eyebrows slanting above. There, her magnolia-white skin, so precious to southern women, is slashed very distinctly. There are two features on her face, the tenderness of her mother, of French descent A seaside aristocrat; one is her father's rugged, from the flashy cheesy Irish."

"She came to Hollywood again this time, and I don't know what kind of classic image she will bring us."

After a few years, the American entertainment industry still loves Vivien Leigh, and nothing seems to have changed. But changes have indeed occurred, and Vivien Leigh herself has changed.

She did bring a role, but not in the movie, but to coincide with the current affairs hotspots focusing on drought relief in British India, and brought a film with an exotic label in the eyes of many European and American citizens.

After arriving in the United States, Vivien Leigh went to find her good friend, Katharine Hepburn, who also auditioned for Gone with the Wind. The two also became good friends because of that time. Katherine Hepburn even went to the UK to attend Vivien Leigh's wedding.

In the eyes of Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh is undoubtedly a genius. She learned Chinese, German, Italian, and later taught herself Russian and American Southern accent for filming.

Gone with the Wind heroine candidates, Hollywood's top beauties were all present, but Vivien Leigh of Irish and French descent appeared. The acting is superb, the temperament is light, and what is even more amazing is a pair of charming green eyes, which coincides with the original. Vivien Leigh, who caught a glimpse, was settled, and then there was the later Hao Sijia.

Katherine Hepburn was also in that audition, and she was also amazed by Vivien Leigh, who was born out of nowhere, and a friendship was born. Seeing Katherine Hepburn of Vivien Leigh again, she was very excited, and her heroic face was filled with a touch of softness," Vivienne said. , this time you come to the United States, do you have a new film to shoot?"

"Catherine, I haven't given up being an actor, but now there are obviously more important things." Vivien Leigh did not hide from her friends, did not conceal from British India to the United States, nor did she conceal the purpose of coming to the United States.

Said that he came to the United States this time, wanting to do something for the place where he was born. Under the operation of public opinion that the United Kingdom and the United States have their own thoughts but coincidentally, the name Gandhi, together with British India, is indeed known by many people.

When Vivien Leigh arrived in the United States, it was Gandhi who had already announced his hunger strike. One week after the official start, Gandhi in British India has now entered the next stage, where he has one meal a day for a month, calling on Indians to save food.

The news has not yet spread, but the United States is still paying attention to India's upsurge. Katharine Hepburn does not pay attention to the international situation, but has heard about it.

This person who is desperate for love, is it more fraternity now? Katherine Hepburn was puzzled, but she didn't ask much, and instead asked what Vivien Leigh wanted to do.

"I hope that as the unquestioned world power, the United States can pay attention to some other countries and shoulder the responsibility of leading the world. Now that many people in British India are facing the tragic situation of starvation to death, part of the reason I came to the United States was to evoke American sympathy." Vivien Leigh had been in New Delhi for a long time, and she unconsciously put on a civil servant's tone when she spoke.

Katherine Hepburn looked at Vivien Leigh in surprise, feeling that the other party seemed to have changed, but she couldn't tell.

But Katharine Hepburn can also feel that the friendship between the two of them has not changed. Everyone is an actor, and you can tell at a glance whether they are acting or not.

"Do you want me to help?" Katharine Hepburn offered to help. She had a feeling in her heart that Vivien Leigh could cause an extraordinary upsurge in the United States this time.

"Thank you so much, Catherine." Vivien Leigh said with gratitude, "By the way, I also brought a movie. If you have any comments, you can also put them forward and see if there is anything to be changed. ."

Vivien Leigh is indeed well prepared, and Katherine Hepburn began to study how to achieve a sensational effect as soon as possible under the current public opinion. In fact, for the two of them, this is a very simple matter. With their popularity, This is not a problem at all.

As long as the two of them are willing to invite them, big-name actors in Hollywood will surely flock to them and make things known to everyone in the shortest time possible.
