v1 Chapter 307: great former prime minister

"Well, what you said makes sense, but let's do something serious." Seeing that it was his wife's opinion, Mountbatten naturally couldn't veto it in person, and changed his tone in a softer tone.

Edwina Ashley raised her eyebrows, and a trace of displeasure flashed on her face, "Actually, you don't have to bother at all. Since you know it's a powder keg, why can't you pass the last time and go home."

"Edwina, I can't agree to this. Your Majesty entrusted this matter to me, and I naturally want to do it well. Even if this matter is indeed very difficult, let alone from what I understand, Nehru This person is still reasonable." Mountbatten shook his head and said without changing his original intention, "At least we have to try our best to protect the rights and interests of all parties as much as possible, and then withdraw and leave."

"But I heard that the confrontation between the parties is very fierce, and it may not be easy to achieve the goal." Edwina Ashley sighed, "If it is very easy to do, it will not force you to take office."

At this time, Mountbatten still had a naive idea to protect the interests of all parties. At the beginning of taking office, he envisioned a plan: in order to maintain the unity of the subcontinent even on the surface, on the premise that the central agency retains certain powers, India is divided into two parts. Three parts - Hindustan, Pakistan and Maharajah states.

"Such a naive idea?" After listening to the little spy Pamela Mountbatten's words, Alan Wilson was not surprised. After all, the Governor is a geek who is a warship and an ice carrier.

Therefore, it is very normal for the Governor to not think that it is very difficult for everyone to do things that are difficult.

"What's wrong?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried when she saw the man's gloomy face, but she still liked him. Seeing her sweetheart's frowning face, she immediately felt the same way, and the distance between the two became closer.

"Your father was a good man when he wasn't imaginative, but he was too conceited." Alan Wilson tilted his body and leaned his head on Pamela Mountbatten's shoulder. Normally, it should be the other way around. However, he could only seize the opportunity in front of him.

Showing the fragility of men while worrying about the country and the people, what a beautiful picture it would have been if it wasn't for the constant gasping of the nose.

"In that case, Mr. Ali Jinnah, seer, is it less important than that of the Congress Party? You must know that there are multiple leaders on the Congress Party side, and Ali Jinnah on the Muslim League side is consistent."

Since Governor Mountbatten still has naive ideas about matters in British India, a person is needed to bring the Governor's ideas back to reality, and the leader of the Muslim League, Ali Jinnah, is the best candidate.

"Put your tongue out." Before letting Pamela Mountbatten go back, Alan Wilson also gave the Governor's daughter a tongue kiss in a tough tone, but she couldn't accept it, so that Pamela Mountbatten, who was dizzy, went back.

The poor governor's daughter, being played between the palms of her hands, the base of her tongue hurts a little and she still bears it.

Since the Governor is going to do big things, it is extremely important to bring Ali Jinnah out as a tough attitude to bring the Governor back to reality. Of course, this is not enough.

Mountbatten was a man of great conceit, especially when he thought he was right.

There has to be a way. Alan Wilson came to find Sir Barron to discuss, who can put pressure on Governor Mountbatten?

"Before the Governor came to British India, he specifically warned the Prime Minister not to interfere. Judging from the Prime Minister's knowledge from all walks of life, the Prime Minister should abide by his promise." Sir Barron shook his head and said, "So we hope that London will let the Governor calm down, It's an extremely difficult thing.”

"You can't watch the interests of the British Empire suffer. Putting all hope on Ali Jinnah?" Alan Wilson frowned, "If it doesn't work, what should I do? It's not impossible, we can think about it. The way to expose the true face of the Congress Party, let the governor understand that this is not a leader's business in essence. Since there is no official pressure, there is no other candidate."

"This person must have a wide range of majesty, a worldwide reputation, and a distinct character! It cannot be a member of the ruling party."

"Also have a good personal relationship with the Governor, speak words, and have the courage to not be afraid of hardships."

"Stubbornness is not a disadvantage, at least compared to the naive governor, it is not a disadvantage at all."

"I have always been concerned about the situation in British India, and I have been unwilling to be lonely, and I have always wanted to continue to serve the British Empire."

Sir Barron and Alan Wilson talked to themselves, and as they talked, their faces changed. There is really such a person in the British Empire today, who fits all the characteristics mentioned above.

Almost at the same time, Alan Wilson and Sir Barron looked at each other and said the same person's name, "Mr Churchill."

"Great former prime minister!" Alan Wilson looked serious, and the address also changed from Mr. Churchill to the great former prime minister.

"Defender of the British Empire." Ser Barron frowned and tutted.

"Has a wide reputation, more famous than the current prime minister."

"Having been tough on the colonies, protecting the interests of the British Empire, and fighting for it."

"The key is that you don't belong to the ruling party. This is not a violation of the verbal agreement between the government and the governor."

Many rainbow farts came out of the mouths of the two leaders of the British Indian administration. Mr. Churchill became a great former prime minister, and firing guns in the House of Commons became defending the interests of the British Empire. Even the face of the bull terrier looked extraordinary. of nostalgic.

"On the one hand, we arranged for Jinnah to meet the Governor to put out the fire for the Governor's naive thinking. On the other hand, we communicated the Governor's naive thinking to Sir Edward, and pointed out that Churchill was the most capable of stopping the Governor." Sir Barron said the law. Then, a set of countermeasures was set.

"The Governor wants to invite Gandhi to meet." At this moment, Commissioner Secretary Edel came in and reported.

"See Jinnah, and arrange for Jinnah to meet the Governor." Sir Barron paused, "It was Jinnah who specifically wanted to meet the Governor, and we have agreed. If we don't see it, we will let Mumeng. Doubt the sincerity of the new governor."

For Mountbatten to successfully implement his plan in an extraordinary period, he must obtain the support of Gandhi. Gandhi's role cannot be ignored whether it is for the Congress Party or for the independence of India.

Just before his inauguration ceremony in India, Mountbatten sent a letter to Gandhi, inviting him to meet, and said that as long as he wanted, Mountbatten would send him a special plane from Bihar to Delhi. Gandhi refused the Governor's plane, saying that he would make a train to Delhi in due time.

Taking this opportunity, Sir Barron arranged for Ali Jinnah to meet with Ali Jinnah before Gandhi.

At the same time met with the popular Governor's Lady, and made a request to inform Sir Edward of the matter here, in the name of Lady Governor Edwina Ashley.

It only needs a name, and the content of the telegram is naturally drafted by Sir Barron.

"You won't be bad for my husband, will you?" Edwina Ashley asked suspiciously.

Although the British Empire does not have a tradition of squatting, it does not mean that Edwina Ashley has no doubts.

"My dear lady, we will not lie to you, and we also know the agreement between the Governor and the Prime Minister. But we must report the matter here to London truthfully." Sir Barron said solemnly, "We are afraid of the Governor's rashness. This move will cause irreparable consequences, and when all measures are taken to remedy it, it will only cause a waste of time and space, and for the current British Empire, it is a shameful crime."

"It's not that serious, but I'm just taking safe measures as much as possible." When he heard the shameful crime, Alan Wilson immediately opened his mouth to make amends, saying that it was not as serious as Sir Barron said.

The telegram was successfully sent, and arrived in London with the best wishes of British India.

If it is in the mainland, there is such a big battle between the affairs officer and the administrative officer, which is definitely not good for the affairs officer~lightnovelpub.net~ But it is different in the colonies. In the final analysis, the administrative relationship of British India And personnel arrangements, depending on London.

Governor Mountbatten could not drive out any of the senior administrators of British India without the consent of Sir Edward.

Alan Wilson didn't know if there was a response to this telegram asking the former prime minister to come forward. According to the time, Churchill should deliver the Iron Curtain speech this year, urging Americans to quickly focus on the Soviet Union and defend the precious qualities of the free world. .

This is nothing new. As early as the First World War, the British Empire launched a propaganda offensive to portray the Second German Reich as a dictatorial, centralized, and illiberal challenger.

Once Germany controls the world, a true empire will be built, with every country crawl under the Germans' feet.

In this regard, the UK has long been proficient in business. So far, the most difficult country to deal with in the propaganda war is France, and Germany is really not a serious opponent in propaganda.

I don't know whether the former prime minister who has been defending the British Empire is just ranting or is really willing to do his part.

At the same time, the Governor's Office sent someone to contact Ali Jinnah and informed the leader of the Muslim League that the Governor would be the first to meet Ali Jinnah after taking office. Of course, in terms of external caliber, Ali Jinnah must take the initiative. Communicate with the Governor and hope that the leader of the Muslim League can understand.

Then Sir Barron informed Governor Mountbatten of the news of Jinnah's meeting. Although this was unexpected, it did not arouse Mountbatten's dissatisfaction. As long as he met a big man, it was not very important to see who came first.

It is logical that before Ali Jinnah arrives, the current agenda is to focus on people-friendly actions and see what each class represents.
