This meant that the Governor-General of British India, who had been vacant for several months, was finally about to take office. General Mountbatten's long-term struggle was ultimately fruitless. Pamela Mountbatten had already packed up and was waiting to set off.

The good news about U.S. Steel finally came after the successful merger and acquisition. This is invaluable information in the eyes of the source. On the one hand, the post-war reconstruction led to a huge increase in steel demand. milestone, with great symbolic significance.

Encouraged by the good news, U.S. Steel's stock rose sharply and seemed to return to its peak overnight, almost compared to the grand occasion when the old Morgan established U.S. Steel.

Edwina Ashley also made a fortune in U.S. Steel's stock gains on the good news. Now she believes that the family's fortune will definitely be very good in the new year.

The aftereffect is that the younger daughter mentions Alan more and more times. Pamela Mountbatten did not dare to spend more time in front of General Mountbatten, but played the role of a good daughter and tried to reduce her sense of existence.

But in front of his mother, he didn't care so much, not to mention that Alan Wilson did not forget the Mountbatten family. The news was revealed at a critical moment, so that Edwina Ashley had the opportunity to experience the feeling of skyrocketing wealth.

Mountbatten didn't say much when he got home, and directly disclosed the news that he was going to take office, "Pack up and prepare to leave."

"Okay!" Edwina Ashley, the wife, nodded, and she was able to make sure that her husband really didn't want to go.

Mountbatten's greatest ideal was to be the Minister of the Sea, just like his father, but in order for Mountbatten to accept the post of Governor of British India, Prime Minister Durley proposed to the King to make him "Earl Mountbatten of Burma".

King George is especially delighted to have someone in the royal family receive this honour on their own merits. Since Mountbatten had no sons, the King also made the unusual decision to grant Mountbatten's daughters the title, lest the honor be interrupted after Mountbatten.

When Mountbatten heard the good news, there was a hint of sadness in addition to his happiness. He has a lifelong nostalgia for the title of "Lord Louis" inherited from his father, an almost superstitious feeling that it has brought him a lot of luck.

However, when he received higher honors, he ignored them and accepted the title of Earl of Mountbatten in Burma without hesitation.

If you accept it, you will have to go to office. Even General Mountbatten fought hard and put it into action, but it was of no use. In the end, he still went to British India.

"Pamela, aren't you happy?" Seeing the unusually quiet little daughter, Mountbatten asked instead, "Didn't my daughter always want to go back to New Delhi?"

"I have to consider my father's feelings. Allen also advised me to leave British India at that time and not be too selfish to play with my family." Pamela Mountbatten replied very cleverly, "Although I really want to stay in That."

Mountbatten, who failed in his struggle with fate, is somewhat relieved at this time, this may be God's arrangement, "This time you will see your sweetheart again, I am not against the two of you, it is too much for his age. Sophisticated, but surprisingly courageous, my father is mainly afraid that you will be sad because of something in the future."

"But this is your choice. I also said that if I go back to British India, I will never interfere in your affairs."

A few days after the new year, London was still surrounded by smog, showing the majesty of a foggy city. The new British Indian Governor and his family packed their bags and were ready to go to New Delhi. Although this is not Mountbatten's dream, he also understands this work. It is difficult, but since you accept it, you must always prepare for it.

At least in the eyes of others, the Mountbatten family arrived beamingly, heading for the powder keg that was about to explode at any time.

"A little higher, a little bigger, and this sign will be updated every day." On the avenue in the middle of New Delhi and Delhi, a countdown sign about British India's independence was erected under the personal care of Alan Wilson.

This is not a secret operation, it is done in an upright manner, and naturally it has attracted the onlookers of many Delhi citizens, watching this scene whispering.

Even in Delhi, not everyone understands the meaning of these numbers, even though Arabic numerals were invented in ancient India.

After hearing the explanation from the knowledgeable people who were only literate, everyone cheered and looked at this huge sign with hope. Every day passed, it meant that the time for the British to leave was one more day.

For many people, the current suffering is just the darkness before dawn, and everyone can see the day when India will be free, but for now, it has to be endured.

"Look at those Indians. Ordinary Indians have very good personalities, and it is not impossible to contact them personally." Alan Wilson happened to be opposite these Indian onlookers, and was commenting with a telescope in his hand, but then the conversation started Turning around, "But in terms of groups, they are simply unreasonable."

"Maybe they are all waiting for the dawn. Everyone wants to witness that day." Commissioner Secretary Edel shrugged. "Actually, it is not incomprehensible, but our position is not consistent with theirs."

"We are all modern educated people. The so-called darkness before dawn does not exist. Because of the rotation of day and night, all religions call for the world to be filled with truth, goodness and beauty, but which religion has done it for thousands of years?"

Alan Wilson put down the binoculars and shook his head slightly, "If Indians want to see it, just keep reading it. It's just a brand. We are going back. Although the winter in India is short, its power is not small."

Alan Wilson remembered the news that Thailand encountered a cold wave in one year, and dozens of people froze to death because of it. When the temperature was checked, it was five degrees above zero! The temperature in New Delhi in January is a bit warmer than that, but not very friendly for many Indians who are close to the proletariat.

The last thing before the new Governor took office was that the Governor's Office reminded British expats in the cities to open up the free sale of property and allow Indians to buy property in British communities.

Out of prudence, the pilot city started in Calcutta, which was Alan Wilson's last chance to escape for British expats to cash out of British India.

Different from the same period in history, because of the increasingly fierce fighting between the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the expatriates of British India carried out emergency evacuation.

Although this saves the lives of the expatriates, it can also be said that the expatriates have lost all their wealth in British India except for their lives.

Now Alan Wilson is giving these expats a choice to either return to Britain with the end of British India, or to continue living in independent India, the choice is theirs.

Meanwhile, Alan Wilson is still drafting a press release, proving that India is about to go from one victory to another, with countdown signs and opening up for free property buying and selling.

In fact, even if he doesn't do anything, I believe Indians will interpret it this way. However, there is no such thing as an executor in the Indian interpretation. Alan Wilson can interpret it casually. reason. It is more comprehensive than the Indian newspapers.

In the Governor's Palace, British India Commissioner Sir Barron and Alan Wilson chatted, "Our Governor is already on his way. He actually has a lot of good points, but the newspapers only pay attention to popular jokes, isn't it, Alan."

"Generous, loyal and dependable, he took the trouble to solve problems. He was kind-hearted and liked everyone he met. He was courteous, thoughtful, and thoughtful. He had amazing endurance and was always ready to listen to others. ."

Sir Barron nodded in approval, "It is the greatest advantage to leave complicated government affairs in the hands of professionals."

"I do!" Alan Wilson nodded, quoting a telegram from the cabinet secretary. "A train is a separate entity, but the rails allow it to follow a given route."

For Mountbatten, the needs of the British Empire made him aspire to be, like his father, Britain's First Sea Lord.

The ideal sail is not so smooth, but he has not changed his original intention as always.

The governorship of British India was a little bumpy, but he believed that as long as it took a year and a half to resolve the matter, he could return to his beloved navy.

General Mountbatten's family was constantly turning around. Now that they had decided to take office, they didn't need to use the method of taking a boat to delay time. London, Rome, Cairo, Aden, New Delhi.

A few days later, the military plane of the new Governor-General of British India landed at the New Delhi Airport, the hatch opened, and Sir Barron brought people from the Governor's Palace to greet him and welcome General Mountbatten.

Sir Barron carefully prepared the salute and red carpet~lightnovelpub.net~ to maintain the last dignity of the British Empire in British India, Mountbatten himself walked down with his wife Edwina Ashley, and behind him was dragging luggage Box of Pamela Mountbatten.

"Mr. Deputy, we have been waiting for you to come to New Delhi for a long time." Sir Barron, with a sincere smile on his face, greeted General Mountbatten, then Mrs. Edwina Ashley, and finally Pamela On Mountbatten, "Oh, Pamela, welcome back."

"Long time no see Sir Barron, I didn't expect us to have the opportunity to work together, er..." Mountbatten was speechless, his eyes full of helplessness looking at the other side.

"It's heavy." Pamela Mountbatten pouted, Alan Wilson understood, stepped forward to take the suitcase away from the crowd, and replied with a dumbfounded expression, "It's also called heavy, it's not like you haven't seen me before. 's suitcase, which one is not heavier than this."

The handover between the two was like no one else, and it broke the defense for General Mountbatten directly. Boy, please explain clearly why my daughter has seen your suitcase...

"The Governor's Palace has prepared a dinner party to relieve the esteemed vice-king and his wife of their exhaustion." Sir Barron spoke in a timely manner, and made a gesture of invitation, reminding the vice-king not to pay attention to those details.
