British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 295: i am very demanding

Now Edward Bridges is in a good mood, and decided to find Norman Brooke, who will be the cabinet secretary, to have a drink in the afternoon and relax. I have to say that the smog has been getting bigger recently. Going to Scotland to play golf is actually a good idea if you have time.

With the Prime Minister's approval, it is basically certain that Alan Wilson has the support of the British Empire.

Of course, as the direct person in charge, he was not idle. Similarly, all the forces in British India were busy with their own affairs. Sir Barron was mediating the disputes within the Congress Party, and the mediation was limited to words.

It is Gandhi, not Sir Barron, who can really mediate the differences between Nehru and Pakr.

During the same period in history, General Mountbatten had already assumed office, British India had also been reorganized, and Nehru had become the Deputy Prime Minister of India. Patel could not stand against Nehrub under such conditions.

But there have been some controllable changes in history. Mountbatten has not yet taken office, and the reorganization of British India is out of the question. The Congress Party is not part of British India and is still in the struggle stage.

Just in time for the drought in the subcontinent, the Governor's Office seized the opportunity to openly and justly turn the problems in some areas into the problems of the entire British India. From the political environment, the British India in the last year has been very lively and lively. Many people feel tired.

Among those who felt tired, Patel, who had returned from London, was definitely not included. Patel's tough attitude towards the Muslim League in London made the conservative forces of the Congress party, a coalition party with all kinds of elements, cheered.

If there is an internal problem, it is a good thing for the Government House of British India. How could Sir Barron really try to mediate?

A hundred years ago, the Congress Party was a sure-fire traitor. Sir Barron believed that it was a harmonious society that saved the Congress Party. In the past, the cannons were all set up.

Therefore, Sir Barron's mediation is nothing more than understanding, and even hints Patel through words. In fact, not all Londoners are optimistic about Nehru. There are also some Conservative MPs who are very optimistic about India under Patel's leadership.

This is not a lie, it is true that there is such a voice. The liberalism advocated by Patel has indeed been recognized by some members of Congress after this trip to London, but the members who recognized it are from the opposition party.

On the contrary, Mr. Churchill's opposition Conservative Party had doubts about Nehru's so-called Labour Party composition, believing that the so-called Labour-leaning Party was a disguise, but there was a Bolshevik shadow in it.

Alan Wilson certainly knows that on this matter alone, the British Conservative Party is not wrong.

However, there is no need for him to get involved in this matter. Sir Barron's work has been very enthusiastic recently. As an assistant, he cannot make the British Indian Commissioner unhappy at this time.

What's more, Alan Wilson really didn't have time. This time, the reply from London was sent directly to the Governor's Palace. In the telegram, Edward Bridges, taking into account Sir Barron's feelings, described the iron ore matter as an ambiguous matter, It doesn't seem to be particularly important. It is a task that the cabinet gave Alan Wilson to try.

At the same time, he did not say that the matter was done. This kind of wording did not touch Sir Barron. Isn't it just negotiating with an American company. It is important to mediate the two giants of the Congress Party. operating instructions.

Sir Barron felt that the matter had only just begun, and that it was almost the end of it.

During Sir Barron's so-called mediation, Gandhi enjoyed walking every morning, and Nehru was always by his side. They talked about many past, present and future issues.

Talking about the future of the Congress Party, Nehru envisaged that after the freedom of the motherland, the Congress Party as it is now will disappear on its own and be replaced by a party that is more in line with the interests of the workers and peasants.

Gandhi, on the other hand, believed that the Congress Party should continue to exist on the condition that the Congress Party could pass a self-restraining ordinance that all its members should not accept a paid position in the state organs; To obtain such a powerful position in the state apparatus, one must quit the Congress Party.

The reason Gandhi thought this way was to keep the Congress party in a detached position so that it could exert enormous oversight pressure on the executive and the rest of the government to keep them from going off track.

Gandhi's thought is significantly different from the concept of modern political parties. The purpose of modern political parties is to seize power, so as to transform politics and economy according to the guiding ideology of the party. Nehru thought so.

However, as Gandhi was optimistic about leading India after independence, Nehru did not express his true thoughts. Gandhi is a more important figure in the Congress party and in the subcontinent than any Congress party chairman.

He was the appointed chairman, and his advice was consistently followed. Gandhi repeatedly rejected the presidency in favor of his colleagues or aides, but Gandhi's support, especially after Patel's return, was extremely important to Nehru.

Gandhi had such influence, so as long as he got Gandhi's support, Nehru would have the confidence to meet Patel's challenge. The old way of man is to divide and rule.”

"But Patel should be sure of one thing, that the British will leave within two years, so he wants to be the one who will lead India after the British leave." Gandhi frowned, no one is perfect, he While leaning towards Nehru, it is not all against Patel's claims.

For example, Patel maintains the beliefs of Hindus, which is very gratifying to Gandhi, but in other ways? It's very common.

Patel's supporters are mainly conservatives. Hindu conservatives are actually Gandhi's enemies. More than ten years ago, because Hindu temples did not allow untouchables to worship in temples, Gandhi had a debate with conservatives.

Even in that debate, conservatives said that even if it was a hunger strike, some of them would stay with them to the end, to see who went on a hunger strike longer.

Gandhi engaged in a public debate with them. Finally, after a referendum, the majority of Hindus still agree with Gandhi's opinion, agree with Dalits entering temples, and eliminate discrimination.

Of course, some people in the Governor's Palace said that this was because Gandhi was challenged in the area of ​​hunger strikes, which he was good at, so he kept suppressing conservatives and supported Nehru's so-called enlightened faction.

Sir Barron and Gandhi, both mediating the claims of Nehru and Patel within the Congress party, Alan Wilson is certainly not idle, he has received written instructions from the cabinet secretary, responsible and cunning American about iron Negotiations on mining issues.

The negotiation was quite difficult, but the most difficult thing was the temptation of Greta Garbo. He was always afraid of being exposed as a thief, so he did the same and ordered a golden snake ring to tell Greta Garbo fortune-telling.

"I just found out when I saw the ring." Greta Garbo glanced at Alan Wilson with a cool look, pointing directly at the mistakes of the civil servants, "We are all actors who entered the industry very early, and it is only when Vivian is not in Hollywood that it is easy to be caught. You lied all over the place. As for Ingrid, it's her character. That's why I judged that you've already succeeded."

Alan Wilson, who was holding the golden snake ring, was quite embarrassed now. He didn't know whether to continue handing it over or pull it back. He almost wanted to reflect on himself. Some beautiful actresses have such obvious loopholes?

Greta Garbo, who was half lying on the sofa, continued with an indifferent smile, "Do you want to follow suit and get cheap from me? Realize your star collection?"

"To say that I didn't think about it at all, of course I'm lying." Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed and said, "I can only say that I still have a place to learn, I can be more secretive, but I can't judge by the ring alone. What, they didn't take it with them."

"I used to act in silent films, and I used my expressions to conquer the audience. Eyesight is extremely important in silent films. Just look at how a few people see you, and everything will be understood." Greta Garbo stretched out and answered the question casually.

There is a reason for everything, and then Greta Garbo mentioned what was wrong with Heidi Lamarr and Joan Crawford looking at Ellen Wilson.

He had always taught the show, and now it was Greta Garbo's turn to guide him. Although Greta Garbo, like Heidi Lamar, did not win an Oscar, "If Katharine Hepburn was here, you wouldn't be able to hide for a day."

Mentioning Katherine Hepburn, who once stood up to her, Greta Garbo said with an indifferent smile, "It is estimated that she will persuade Vivian to stay away from you."

"Uh, it looks like I'm very lucky." Alan Wilson still maintained the posture of handing the ring, his wrist was already a little sore~lightnovelpub.net~ I took the ring first, after all, it is a precious gift. "Greta Garbo had taken the ring away while speaking, and said in a condescending tone, "Young star collector, you should have heard Ingrid, who can't hide a secret, say that I have made up my mind." To remain celibate. "

Then Greta Garbo heard a sentence that almost broke her defense, "You can have children without getting married."

For the first time, Greta Garbo, who had been in an iceberg state, had a change of expression on her face. She still underestimated this young civil servant, and she could say this.

"Want to have a baby with me? I'm very demanding." Greta Garbo almost gritted her silver teeth, letting this brazen person retreat.

"I'm sorry!" Alan Wilson apologized repeatedly, and Ingrid Bergman, who had come to eat on time at this time, came to the door and saw Greta Garbo half-lying and Alan Wilson sitting upright. Before that, Greta Garbo Garbo had put the ring away.

"Wait!" Ingrid Bergman went straight to the table without any guilt. This is how Garbo looked in her eyes. At any time, it is casual, as if refusing people thousands of miles away.
