British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 305: be friendly to the people

In fact, in addition to General Mountbatten's own talent, Prime Minister Attlee also hopes that General Mountbatten's royal identity can play a role in the presence of monarchs including but not limited to major princely states.

However, according to history, this role should not have played the role it should have.

Of course, Mountbatten himself also won a personal right from Prime Minister Attlee, that is, he came to British India as an active-duty admiral as a governor, and theoretically, the Royal Navy would leave him a seat.

This is because Mountbatten was worried that after becoming the governor of British India, he would delay his experience in serving the Royal Navy, so Mountbatten, who also had a progressive heart, left a way for him to return to the navy later.

"The Governor will hold the inauguration ceremony soon. You should also stay and participate." Alan Wilson said this, and turned to ask Pamela Mountbatten, "Okay, I also want to ask your opinion."

"It's not easy for you to arrange someone? Is it to respect my opinion?" Although Pamela Mountbatten said so, the slightly raised corners of her mouth still betrayed her true feelings.

"When it's time to respect women, I've always respected women." In front of Li Jisheng, Alan Wilson was still throwing dog food. As for when women shouldn't be respected, Pamela Mountbatten doesn't need to know. .

Let Li Jisheng attend the inauguration ceremony of the Governor, it is indeed Alan Wilson who can arrange it himself, anyway, it is just an audition, what's so difficult about it? Asking for Pamela Mountbatten's opinion is just to prove a fact that can be seen at a glance in front of Li Jisheng, this is the daughter of the Governor.

Although Bhutan and Sikkim are small, they have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the accumulation must exist. It just so happened that he, the commissioner's assistant in British India, was not a picky eater, no matter how small his interests were.

Although he received money, Alan Wilson has another advantage, that is, he has to do things when he receives money. So since he has received the money, he will do everything possible to protect the existence of these two countries.

For this reason, Alan Wilson even stayed with Li Jisheng to eat. When he was alone, he always went to the Governor's Palace to eat, but what time is it, he went back to the days of cooking by himself.

Li Jisheng was very excited about this kind of treatment, and at the same time said with admiration, "The assistant's craftsmanship is very good."

"I've lived in Hong Kong for a few years," Alan Wilson said while serving dishes. "I'm not saying that British Indian food is bad, but the vast majority of Indians eat with their hands, so? I'm not too sure. Habit."

The most common foods that Indians eat are rice bowls and flatbreads. Why do you say common foods? It's because other foods are completely unacceptable to him, and the sticky mass is full at a glance.

Alan Wilson was quite courteous to Li Jisheng, who left his name in history as an imperialist **** who interfered in internal affairs.

He's also an imperialist, but he's focused on hitting hard where he can. Is there anything wrong with this? He doesn't think he's doing anything wrong.

In fact, most of the key politicians in all countries never look for allies when they seek the relationship between the country and the country, they are looking for the servant country, which is good for your country one million, as long as they do something wrong, they will be scolded White-eyed wolf.

For a country like India that has the ability to resist, Alan Wilson doesn't ask for much, and he never intends to cut British India into eight pieces. He just balances the details, because he deeply knows that India It is an important force to contain the opposite side of the Himalayas.

Don’t mention that without this ability, India cannot be demolished with this ability. Demolition of India is either cheap for the Soviet Union or for a big country that competes for influence with the great powers of Eurasia on the Eurasian continent. It is too difficult for maritime countries, continental countries There are natural advantages.

"You are solely responsible for the affairs of Sikkim, Bhutan and Nepal. In order to ensure the safety of these three places, we may find an opportunity to talk to the Congress Party." Alan Wilson said while eating, and gave Li Jisheng some The power of the North to do things.

Two days later, the British and Indian authorities held the inauguration of the new governor. According to tradition, the new governor should dress lavishly and speak little on such occasions. Mountbatten, however, went against the norm, dressed plainly, and addressed all the British and Indians who came to the ceremony: Although the new governor does not usually speak at the oath ceremony, I am very willing to say a few words to you, to the people of India talk.

"I am not the usual governor, our great king has decided to hand over power before the advent of the second half of 1948. . . The current situation is serious and our mission is difficult. I hope to consult with you as soon as possible and do everything possible to help you."

“At the same time, each of us needs to do everything in our power to avoid excesses that could lead to bloodshed. I have many Indian friends, some of whom I met twenty-five years ago – my wife and I were in Delhi then University made a marriage contract."

"In the last three years, I have made a large number of Indian friends, especially in the combat troops, many of whom I am proud of. It is not easy to be the successor of Governor Wavell. However, I am very grateful to the difficult The mission has no illusions. I just need the goodwill of the people. Today I am begging for the goodwill from the people of India..."

"Is it too weak?" asked Alan Wilson, who was sitting next to Sir Barron. "Who wrote this speech?"

"It was made by the Governor himself." Sir Barron said with a headache. "Fortunately, even the Governor himself said that the time is set in 1948. As long as we stick to this premise, it will be fine."

"Of course, we have countless reasons to persevere, no matter what means are used." Alan Wilson fully agreed that other things can be discussed and discussed, and this premise cannot be changed.

Governor Mountbatten cannot be allowed to win the favor of the Indians with a one-sided selfish idea, thereby sacrificing the interests of the British Empire. This is not allowed by Alan Wilson and the entire Governor's Palace.

In this matter, if the Governor made a mistake, Alan Wilson would have no reason to cover up. He could only stand with Sir Barron and jointly safeguard the interests of the British Empire.

In any case, this speech made the governor's house very uncomfortable, as if it was owed to the Indians.

"Do we want to apologize to 90% of the countries in the world, except Antarctica, there are battlefields left by expeditionary forces on any continent. We apologize one by one, do we want to compensate for the loss?"

After the inauguration, Ellen Wilson complained, in front of Pamela Mountbatten, complaining about her father, "Indians were colonized, they deserved it, that's how history goes, today's Celtic People came earlier than us, do you want to give up the British mainland?"

"Alan, the end of my father's speech is just to express an attitude, which can't explain anything." Pamela Mountbatten was the first time to see Alan Wilson angry, "and my father's words also make sense, express some apologies nothing."

"Not to mention is the greatest kindness to the Indians, and sorry? They deserve it." Alan Wilson took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and adjusted his tone, "Pamela, I'm not a cruel person. people, but my historical knowledge tells me that there must always be a country that starts the pace of colonization, but it happens to be the United Kingdom. No other country, no, no country can colonize more tolerant than us, the so-called hobby since ancient times Peaceful bullshit, it's okay to deceive ordinary people, and those who say it don't believe it themselves."

When Alan Wilson said it, he was completely from an objective and neutral point of view, not to whitewash the British Empire. If a country starts colonization and travels thousands of miles to a colony, is it to focus on poverty alleviation?

Since it is not, it must be exploited. What morality is there to talk about after exploitation? Indians were victims of British Empire colonization and then turned their heads after independence to clean up Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal?

While complaining about his father-in-law ~lightnovelpub.net~ Mountbatten also began to fulfill the accusations of the Governor, and formulated a series of meeting goals, involving various parties and forces in British India.

Mountbatten also had plans to meet with representatives of all walks of life, but he soon decided that the real power figures were the main objects he would meet. For example, Nehru, Gandhi, and Sadr Patel have real power in the Hindu and Congress parties; only Jinnah is the top decision maker in the Muslim League. If you don't take them seriously, it's impossible to solve the problem here.

Nehru, with his tongue-in-cheek eloquence, wrote his writing into chapters. He was confirmed early by Gandhi and rose through the ranks of the Congress party, serving as its chairman three times. The Mahatma had foreseen that the torch of their struggle would be held high by Nehru.

Nehru also worshipped Gandhi as a god. Despite occasional contradictions and disagreements, he always followed Gandhi with sincere friendship. The situation has developed to this day, and there have been some subtle changes in the relationship between Nehru and Gandhi, and only the feelings of reverence remain.

"Your Excellency the Governor has an urgent desire to solve problems with medicines." Sir Barron called Alan Wilson to ask after knowing Governor Mountbatten's plan, "What do you think of the meeting plan formulated by the Governor."

"No, we should start by meeting representatives of all classes." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "Otherwise, we will not respect the imperial subjects of British India. We must avoid the British rule the Indians and become Indians. Rule over the Indians, that's what Gandhi himself said."

"Let the Governor be troubled by chaotic chores first, and our work will be much easier." Sir Barron was very satisfied, and Alan Wilson showed with practical actions that he was still our man.

"No one can say it's wrong to be close to the people, right?" Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "Go the lady's route."
