British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 302: new year new governor

"Anyway, being able to take charge of this reception is an unforgettable experience in my life." Alan Wilson was still moving when he spoke, and the feeling of being beaten was still there.

"Oh?" A slight change appeared on Greta Garbo's face, which was very rare.

"Okay, I'll go to the United States after I've dealt with things in London." Vivien Leigh interrupted the two of them. Although she could see that Ellen Wilson had no memory, she was unwilling to continue. what?

Everyone didn't want to waste time on the road, and finally decided to leave after New Year's Day. In the last few days, the time management master thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that he had been drenched in foot water without knowing it.

"You should thank me." Greta Garbo looked down at Alan Wilson and said something astonishing.

"Where did this come from?" Alan Wilson frowned. Could it be that thanks to Greta Garbo's anger? Thank you for giving yourself the opportunity to bow to your destiny?

When facing Greta Garbo, Alan Wilson has always been very passive, and this time is also very passive. Who makes people demanding.

Time has entered 1947, the year when British India became independent in history. At the New Year's Day dinner at the Governor's Palace, actresses from the girlfriends group and American staff also participated. There is no doubt that the friendly display on the.

If Derek was still in British India, he might be able to attend this dinner.

Sir Barron delivered a speech on behalf of the Governor's Office, wishing all departments to stick to their posts in the new year and continue to work hard for the prosperity and hard work of British India.

Then the reception officially began. With anticipation for the New Year, the gentlemen of the British Empire toasted each other, listened to classical music, and talked about the harvest of the year.

Hollywood actresses have also received a lot of invitations, but after rejecting them, the gentlemen just nodded slightly and did not bother.

What is Ellen Wilson doing at this time? He is much busier than these dream lovers in the eyes of the public. There are more than twice as many administrative officials and judicial officials greeting each other as the actresses put together.

"Is he so popular?" Joan Crawford said suspiciously, looking in the direction of Alan Wilson.

"Europe and America are still not the same!" Greta Garbo also glanced at the other side and said lightly, "Joan, the world is not only the United States, and your understanding of this world needs to be supplemented."

Alan Wilson, as the assistant commissioner of British India, the pioneer of London's investment promotion, the promoter of the large-scale construction plan, the best think tank for administrative officials and judicial officials, and the best friend of the monarchs, should be like this treatment.

It's not that this group of bureaucrats who are either bald or shiny, are more attractive than female stars. The key is that the time has come to divide the money, and the governor will soon take office. The end of the year settlement must be done as soon as possible.

On January 2, a meeting on the expenditures of British India for 1946 was solemnly held at the Governor's Palace in British India. Sir Barron himself presided over this meeting. , the unprofessionalism shown was severely criticized.

The mistakes made should be corrected, and the advantages that emerged should be carried forward. For this severe criticism, the chief executives of various provinces have expressed their approval and must correct the mistakes in their work.

"From now on, we will treat every day as the last day, and use all our energy to serve British India." Sir Barron said solemnly, "There is not much time left for us."

Are you a Chinese fan too? Alan Wilson's face changed slightly, he thought for a moment and said, "How about we set up a countdown sign in Delhi Gate? On the one hand, it is to tell the Indians, and on the other hand, it is to encourage us to work hard?"

"Having this sign actually gives Indians a psychological hint. I think this kind of psychological hint is very useful. On the eve of the emergence of light, it may make Indians not to act rashly. Of course, if the time comes, we will not leave, Indians It might explode."

"It actually makes sense, why don't you give it a try." Burke, the chief executive of the United Province, nodded in agreement, "Looking at the time of independence step by step, the Indians may be less troublesome to us in the last time."

"That's it!" Sir Barron thought and nodded. "Gentlemen, work hard for the next year."

"Yes, Sir." Everyone in the audience responded in unison. At the end of the meeting, the benefits of the gentlemen's hard work over the past year have been calculated. Sir Barron personally presided over this cake as a reward for the gentlemen for the past year. .

In fact, there is not much for the gentlemen. The average chief executive is less than 300,000 pounds. Otherwise, it is very hard to do anything, and it is a big construction and a drought. There is only such a small gain. hard money.

At the beginning of the new year, it has a different meaning for the civil servants in British India. One year's hard work has paid off, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

Sir Edward, who was as far away as London, did not forget the important part of the civil servants in British India, and he also sent the share that British India deserved in the iron ore sale process. It is not entirely unreasonable to be widely loved and worthy of the duties of a cabinet secretary.

In addition to this incident, the Cabinet Secretary also brought news that the new Governor of British India is about to take office.

On January 3rd and January 4th, Alan Wilson and his colleagues at the Governor's Office exchanged farewells to the American team that came to British India to shoot the documentary. British Treasure returns home.

Alan Wilson himself, in the new year, will be more spiritual to benefit the people of British India.

On the same day, Alyssa, who was in Hyderabad, was officially notified of her appointment and became the youngest regional commissioner in the current British India, a title that originally belonged to Alan Wilson.

However, Alyssa is a woman, and after being appointed, it is even more sensational. What is the explanation in the external report of the Governor's Office, "I hope that Alyssa's female identity can be used to resolve some meaningless confrontations and work for British India. Bring a touch of warmth."

If it is Alan Wilson, just because he officially became a commissioner, he should also take a few days off. Don't always pretend to be bandits and robbery. The class has jumped up, and you should think of some smarter ways to do things.

"That's too polite!" Putting the one hundred hauled gold coins in the iron box and locking it, Alan Wilson was pleased with Eliza's filial piety, "Dear Commissioner Eliza, how do you feel now?"

"Andy seems to be very unhappy. Because I am a commissioner." Alyssa sighed. "Actually, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with him, but his qualifications are indeed not enough."

"We should put our personal feelings aside when we do things. I can't say anything about the feelings of the two of you." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly. "It's too much to not give money."

The New Year is new here in British India. For London, things are still those things, and the problems are still those problems. It seems like things should change, but nothing has changed yet.

At the beginning of the new year, the devastated London was thick and foggy, looking very depressed and gloomy. At No. 10 Downing Street, the new Prime Minister Attlee, who Churchill called "that's a typical mediocre" Labour secretary turned gloomy, awaits the arrival of a charismatic admiral.

He was the great-grandson of Queen Victoria, Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten. Mountbatten is forty-six years old this year, and has long been famous in Britain. He was tall and handsome.

Attlee summoned him to make him the vice-king of India, that is, the governor-general of India. The Prime Minister decided to give him this supreme task in India, not to rule India, but to arrange for the British withdrawal from India.

This is an extremely painful mission. Now, the imperial government is determined to withdraw wisely from India so as not to appear embarrassed to be driven away by force. The great British Empire of yesteryear is incapable of continuing to rule its colonies today.

General Mountbatten had already received his appointment, and he had to take office in the end. This time, he came to No. 10 Downing Street, but it was just a conversation before his departure.

Mountbatten knew that this was a mission with no hope of success. He knew that the former governor, Marshal Wavell, was a talented soldier, and he was all overwhelmed. Can he succeed?

Mountbatten was not excited to receive this appointment letter from the end of the Empire ~lightnovelpub.net~, on the contrary, he was dismayed. This position is really not as comfortable as the former commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces High Command in Southeast Asia.

"I still have to repeat." General Mountbatten looked at Prime Minister Attlee and said solemnly, "I said before, first, the government must publicly announce that the United Kingdom promises to stop exercising sovereignty and agree to the exact date of India's independence, This facilitates in-depth negotiations with the Congress Party and the Muslim League; secondly, during my tenure, I enjoy full power and complete freedom without having to report to London, especially if London is not allowed to intervene frequently."

"Okay, but I hope that General Mountbatten will not be above the cabinet approved by His Majesty." Prime Minister Attlee nodded solemnly, "The independence date of British India, I once said in Congress, this will not change. "

"Then I'll set off immediately." General Mountbatten sighed heavily. After all, he still failed to fight, and he was going back after more than half a year.

Even Prime Minister Attlee has agreed to these two excessive demands, and Mountbatten has no choice but to take office.

On this day, London officially announced that the Deputy King of British India will officially take office.
