"My wife must be on our side, and we must unabashedly make this truth clear to my wife. It is not advisable to unilaterally allow the independence of British India for the sake of selfish desires."

Alan Wilson and Sir Barron reached a consensus on this point. Although the civil servants of British India have not lost any money by now, why should they leave if they can stay for one more day? The gentlemen haven't had enough!

Besides, it is selfish for Mountbatten to quickly deal with the problems of British India. The great Prime Minister has said that the problems of British India will be solved in 1948. As soon as you come to British India, you will mention the progress. , this is not what selfishness is.

"How to get the lady to stand on our side mainly depends on Alan. Only you have an extra layer of fetters, and it is more suitable to carry out the persuasion work." Sir Barron thought for a while, and the best candidate was in front of him. assistant.

Only Alan Wilson is the most suitable, trying to stop the very selfish idea of ​​the Governor and protect the interests of the British Empire.

With the approval of Sir Barron, Alan Wilson left the Governor's House, and Sir Barron asked the Commissioner's Secretary, Edel, to re-prepare a Governor's itinerary, which should focus on being close to the people and at the same time focusing on leisure.

This includes, but is not limited to, attendance at golf and tennis ceremonies and even cricket, and even a holiday schedule in British Ceylon.

Of course Edwina Ashley lived in the Governor's Mansion. Alan Wilson came to the door very well. After knocking gently, Edwina Ashley opened the door. When she saw Alan Wilson, In a tone that has seen through everything, "Come to Pamela, come in."

Of course Governor Mountbatten was not there. The Mountbatten couple living in the Governor's Mansion could not escape the eyes of loyal and honest civil servants. Pamela Mountbatten came out of the room and said embarrassedly, "Why did you come here directly?"

"Come to see you, and by the way, I have something to talk about with my wife." To Pamela Mountbatten, Alan Wilson answered very honestly.

Edwina Ashley was surprised and said with a wry smile, "Didn't you come to see Pamela?"

"Yes or no." Alan Wilson sat down and said, "Of course the ultimate goal is not conflicting, and there are indeed some business affairs, and I want to get the answer from the lady. I wonder if the lady knows the vice king's knowledge of British India. ?"

"Louis said that British India was a powder keg that was about to explode, and he didn't want to come over to be the governor." Alan Wilson was not an outsider, and Edwina Ashley directly told Mountbatten's own thoughts and experiences, How reluctantly came to take office in British India.

"It's understandable that the Governor seems to be very eager to resolve the matter of British India." Alan Wilson frowned, "but this is not in the interests of the British Empire, we have been working without sleep for a year, and the Governor wants to There are conflicting ideas about a quick solution to British India, and there may be a lot of problems when it comes together."

"What's wrong with making India independent?" Edwina Ashley was a little strange, especially when her son-in-law, who was very optimistic, said, "Louis thinks Nehru is not bad."

"What does Madam think of Nehru?" Alan Wilson moved in his heart and asked this question solemnly.

"Although I came to British India during the war before, I didn't see him. I just came to see my husband. There were a lot of things during the war. I stayed here for a while and then went back." Edwina Ashley Honestly, "But? Lewis said Nehru was a good man."

She did come here when General Mountbatten was commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, which is what Pamela said when Ellen Wilson first met Pamela Mountbatten.

But then Edwina Ashley returned to London, so it was very strange for Alan Wilson to return to London. How could the fact that Edwina Ashley is in London conflict with his memory?

"Is Nehru a good person?" Alan Wilson asked suspiciously. If Edwina Ashley had dangerous thoughts, it would be very unfavorable to the civil servants in the whole of British India.

"It was Louis who said it. I'm not familiar with him." Edwina Ashley was a little strange. Why did Alan Wilson's voice sound so strange just now?

Then he introduced the Nehru that Mountbatten said. Mountbatten met Nehru for the first time in Singapore, and he liked him very much. Mountbatten admired Nehru's talent, wit and sophistication.

"What kind of talent does a fifty-eight-year-old bald old man have?" Alan Wilson pouted, "Mr. Ali Jinnah is more charismatic, but the Governor may not approve it."

"Why?" Pamela Mountbatten asked in dissatisfaction. She still remembered that Ellen Wilson criticized her father yesterday, and the little girl took revenge. "How do you know that my father will not have good contact with Ali Jinnah."

"With more Hindus than pacifists, Ali Jinnah and Nehru are opposing leaders. Nehru wants to take over a complete British India, and Ali Jinnah will never agree." Alan Wilson said this looking at Pamela Mountbatten, "Do you think your father will be on the side of the majority leader? Or the minority leader?"

"I believe that the Governor will soon understand that the contradiction between the Congress Party and the Muslim League is irreconcilable. Ali Jinnah will never give in. I have met Mr. Jinnah several times, and I can be absolutely sure of this matter. Alan Wilson turned around when he said this, "What is certain is that the Governor's judgment on British India was very accurate before he came. It is indeed a powder keg that will explode at any time. It has been done by the Governor's House for a year. The thing is to delay the explosion as much as possible."

"Ellen, do you want me to help you do something?" Edwina Ashley asked after a moment of silence.

"Ma'am, it's not for helping us, but for the sake of the British Empire. After all, being a colonizer is profitable. Colonial officials are not all murderers. There are not many people who can't sleep without killing people for a day. It's not for the sake of The interests of the British Empire." Alan Wilson sighed, "Our purpose is to protect the stability of British India and continue to transfuse blood to the mainland before Prime Minister Attlee's deadline."

"I'll try my best!" Edwina Ashley hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Louis came here to try to get things done as much as possible, so it's understandable to be impatient."

"It depends on whether to do things well in the British Empire or in India. The Governor's Office all thinks it is the former, and sometimes for the sake of the country, we have to do things that go against our hearts." Alan Wilson Upon hearing this, he said with a grateful smile, "Ma'am, the empire will thank you. You are absolutely the real governor's wife."

"The Governor is also the real Governor." Pamela Mountbatten was reluctant to hear it. "You are creating divisions in the Mountbatten family. You are too bad."

"We're still loyal to the Empire, but not necessarily your father." Alan Wilson said halfway through, Pamela Mountbatten's hand had already stretched out and twisted gently on Alan Wilson's arm, "Say it again."

"I was wrong." Apologizing simply, Alan Wilson gave the Governor's daughter a sidelong glance, swearing that one day this woman would shed happy tears, and that day would not be far away.

The new schedule was arranged by Ismay, the Secretary General of the Governor's Office, and Eder was actually Ismay's subordinate. Just as Alan Wilson was Sir Barron's subordinate.

It's just that he hasn't seen the secretary-general much except when he is in a meeting. The offices of the commissioner and the secretary-general are not in the same building.

The new schedule is very dense at first glance, almost accurate to every hour, but the people to be seen are basically of little weight, showing a close-to-the-people move. During the period, there were also recreational activities that General Mountbatten liked very much, such as cocktail parties, golf, tennis, and other sports.

And the vacation plans of the Governor's family, even including a vacation to British Ceylon.

Sir Barron and Alan Wilson, watching the plan drawn up by Secretary Ismay, pondered whether the arrangement would be a combination of work and rest.

"It can't be without a big deal~lightnovelpub.net~ or it seems to be too sincere." Sir Barron reached out and rubbed his chin, always asking the Governor to do something. British India is different from the mainland, and some rules can be changed appropriately.

"Adding the problem about the Rohingya, even Nehru can't solve that problem, we can also use the Rohingya problem to prove that a million-scale ethnic group is difficult to solve, let alone involving A problem of hundreds of millions of people." Alan Wilson proposed to give the new governor a slap in the face.

"Good idea." Sir Barron said with a satisfied smile, "The Rohingya problem can be considered as a pre-rehearsal of the partition of India and Pakistan. Let's see what the Governor has to do, and we can prove it. The Governor's ability, if it can't be solved?"

"That's better!" Alan Wilson said what Sir Barron wanted to say but didn't say, waiting for the praise of his immediate superior. This reworked schedule was then sent to Mountbatten after he returned to the Governor's Palace.

"Oh, what is the purpose of these civil servants stacking up these trivial matters? I thought I didn't know." Governor Mountbatten looked at the rescheduled itinerary and said to his wife very arrogantly, "They don't want me to solve it. British India thing, it would make them very incompetent."

"That's right, Louis." Edwina Ashley, who has been successfully regarded as a leader by British Indian civil servants and became our person, took over the schedule from her husband and commented, "There are important events and Small things, what's wrong with combining work and rest with a tight schedule?"

The Governor is also happy, but the Governor's wife is the real hero next to him. The fake Governor will be very selfish to advance the process when he comes to British India. The real Governor understands the hard work of British Indian civil servants and knows how to combine work and rest.
