British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 260: Andaman Riot

69, the fastest update of British civil servants!

In fact, as the Commissioner of British India, Sir Barron had no prejudice against the incoming Governor.

But he, the commissioner's assistant, has a mysterious relationship with the Governor's daughter that is unclear, indescribable, and incomprehensible, which makes Sir Barron worried.

Will General Mountbatten still be the authority in British India when he arrives?

But fortunately, Alan Wilson's loyalty is still very effective, directly expressing that he is a grateful person, and will never forget that Sir Barron helped him in the beginning of his career.

This answer made Sir Barron quite gratified. The young officer is still reliable. "Actually, you know about the current situation, Alan, and we have to wait as much as possible until the deadline. But you also know that General Mountbatten is a character People who are more unrestrained are afraid that they will not cooperate with us when they take office."

What is foresight? This is called foresight! Alan Wilson really admired it. Historically, when General Mountbatten arrived in British India, when he saw that the chaos was already crowded, with the idea of ​​getting out as soon as possible, he used a quick knife to cut the mess.

A year earlier than the time set by the original cabinet, British India became independent as India and Pakistan, which even caught the local Labour cabinet and the prime minister by surprise.

Almost as soon as I woke up, the most important pearl of the British Empire was gone! Even Prime Minister Attlee could not accept it, let alone ordinary citizens of the Empire.

General Mountbatten was the commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia. Although he spent most of his time on vacation in British Ceylon, this new governor was definitely no stranger to Sir Barron.

Fearing that there will be disagreements at work, it is always unwise for a British Indian civil servant to have a conflict with the Governor, but the interests are there, and Sir Barron cannot let it go.

So after the Cabinet repeatedly stated that the Governor-General of British India would not be replaced, Sir Barron called his assistant to test the reliability of the promising young officials.

"I understand what Sir means. Governor Mountbatten may have some wishful thinking, which requires someone to give good advice at such a time." Alan Wilson considered his vocabulary, "to maintain the peace and stability of British India. ."

"That's right, it's best for this person not to be distant." Sir Barron said with a high stance, "The most suitable person is you, only your relationship with General Mountbatten is suitable for the Governor to follow professional advice at that time. , and sometimes an opinion.”

"I will do my best for our proposition to succeed." Alan Wilson deliberately emphasized the word "us", saying that he would stick to his heart and protect the interests of civil servants to the greatest extent possible.

"Allen's statement will surely please many, many civil servants. In fact, everyone has always been very optimistic about you. I feel that you are a model for young civil servants and the object of their learning." Sir Barron couldn't help but nodded, "The Empire The order needs to be maintained by us, of course, this is all mutual, if you can maintain everyone, everyone will maintain you, and in some things, everyone is willing to support you."

General Mountbatten was going to take office after all, and Sir Barron made preparations for this, calling Alan Wilson not just for beating, but after getting a satisfactory answer, he also expressed a positive response.

For example, in some matters, Alan Wilson can give valuable advice, while others give firm support.

Out of Sir Barron's office, Alan Wilson was refreshed, and before the arrival of the new Governor, this conversation had made clear the Commissioner's expectations of putting a load on the Assistant Commissioner.

Of course, this also means that the civil servants of the whole of British India are closely united and determined to stand on the last shift.

The most important thing is the support of Sir Barron. To be honest, the position of assistant commissioner is easy to be regarded as a display by the commissioner. Alan Wilson is very lucky not to have been treated this way.

Now Sir Barron has used this conversation to show that he will never suffer this kind of treatment in the next time, but must work with himself to safeguard the overall interests of the British Indian civil servants.

At this moment, Edel, the secretary of the commissioner, came in a hurry, and Alan Wilson, who had just come out of the commissioner's office, came face to face, "What happened?"

"Assistant, something happened to the Andaman Islands." Edel said anxiously, walking to the door of the commissioner's office, pushing the door open.

Then Alan Wilson, who had just left, came in again. He already had guesses in his heart, and came in just to make sure.

"Commissioner, there is a riot of Japanese prisoners of war in the Andaman Islands. The British on the island have been evacuated, but there are only two battalions of the Indian garrison above, and there is a lack of heavy weapons. I don't know if this riot can be quelled." Eder took it out. The telegram, hurriedly reported, "The current news was sent before the evacuation of the British expatriates, and we do not know the current situation."

"This kind of thing actually happened?" Alan Wilson said solemnly, "I didn't expect that on a small island that is isolated overseas and is extremely easy to be blocked, Japanese prisoners of war dare to riot. Do they have any brains?"

The focus is on a small island that hangs overseas and is extremely easy to be blocked! Alan Wilson's words were very malicious at this time. It was not that Sir Barron didn't hear it. On the contrary, he made clear Alan Wilson's intention at once.

"Call General Erwin, let's talk about the Andaman Islands." Sir Barron made a decisive decision. Once such a thing happened, it would definitely depend on the garrison, and it would not be possible for one hundred thousand civil servants and one hundred thousand troops to settle down on the island. Riot?

At this time, the Andaman Islands were in the midst of a slaughter. The Japanese soldiers who had followed Fengwen Yamashita swept across Southeast Asia, after nearly a year, showed their ferocity again.

These Japanese prisoners of war were thin, and their bodies had obviously consumed a lot of energy during the long-term starvation state, but everyone's eyes released murderous aura, venting all the abuse they had received on the island.

The reason for the incident was the leak of a telegram to purge Japanese prisoners of war, which led to the riot this time.

The telegram is just a fuse, and the authenticity does not need to be studied at all. In the final analysis, in the past year, endless heavy labor and food deductions have finally wiped out the Japanese prisoners of war with excellent psychological quality.

As long as they are not sleeping, the Japanese prisoners of war are constantly working, building military bases that are almost beyond their use requirements, and the deductions in food are accumulated over the years, not to mention the British instigated Indian soldiers to carry out tricks on Japanese prisoners of war.

Finally, this riot was caused, but the initiator had fled on a warship and threw the Indians on the island.

More than 20,000 Japanese prisoners of war, although they had no weapons, were twenty times the number of Indian soldiers. Once they decided to resist, less than 1,000 Indian soldiers could be imagined without preparation.

There were originally more Japanese prisoners of war who arrived in the Andaman Islands. More than 4,000 Japanese prisoners of war have died because of the local environment, and they have become part of the islands. Indian soldiers have contributed a lot to this. After the riots, the situation facing the Indian garrison can be imagined.

The British all lived in the largest port in the Andaman Islands, where there were docked warships. When they got the news, they immediately got on the ship and fled, leaving the Indian soldiers on the island.

Now, all the consequences have to be borne by the Indian soldiers. Since the riots, many Indian soldiers who have been left alone have been killed directly. The Japanese prisoners of war have been armed with looted weapons and continue to attack the Indian army. In the past two months, many prisoners of war starved to death due to lack of food, and many rioting Japanese soldiers fought their hunger with one breath.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops carried the exiled Japanese traitors on the island and carried out a big sweep on Andaman Island.

The harsh environment of the jungle on the Andaman Islands is the same as the environment in Southeast Asia~lightnovelpub.net~ With no roads and no possibility of getting sustenance, tens of thousands of people plunge into the almost desolate, wild beasts and mosquitoes. In the wild forest, it would be a tragedy.

Moreover, the Indian soldiers who knew what they were like in the eyes of the prisoners of war did not capture their hands at this time, and were still fighting the rioting prisoners of war on the island, hoping that the situation on the island had been passed on and persisted until the arrival of reinforcements.

The two Japanese prisoners of war who were shooting into the house from the gate were thrown to the ground at once, and even the light machine gun that had just misfired was blown up, finally suppressing the rioting Japanese prisoners of war temporarily.

At this time, the defending Indian soldier got up and saw several prisoners of war rushing in from the gate. The rifle was no longer useful at this time, so he immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist, and the moment he drew the gun He aimed at the incoming prisoner of war, and fired a round of bullets with a flick of his hand.

Twenty rounds of bullets were swept out in a fan plane. The three prisoners of war immediately fell to the ground with blood spraying and screaming. The remaining two prisoners of war were so frightened that they hurriedly fell to the ground. Two figures rushed out from here, and they started fighting with pistols in their hands.

But the house guarded by this soldier could not withstand the impact of the rioters. Because of defense and weapons, the two brave Indian soldiers lived fifteen minutes longer. Fifteen minutes later, a wisp of smoke rose into the air. , the hungry prisoners of war must have something to eat, anything to eat...

The life of prisoners of war in the Andaman Islands, the most intuitive feeling of these prisoners of war is hunger, they want to eat...

At the Governor's Palace in New Delhi, General Erwin of the British army stationed in India has arrived. He and the Governor's Palace received the news at the same time. Now they are rushing over to discuss countermeasures. Now everyone is not aware of the situation in the Andaman Islands.
