Not only Nehru himself, but the vast majority of Indians at the moment are immersed in excitement. Independence has been the dream of Indians for decades. Today, a substantial step has finally been taken.

In front of the Governor's Palace, Governor Mountbatten solemnly read out the letter of appointment. In the name of King George VI, he recognized Nehru appointed by the Attlee Cabinet as the Deputy Prime Minister of British India, and Governor Mountbatten himself as the Prime Minister of British India. From 1858 to today, in the nearly 100-year history of British India, an Indian finally squeezed into the highest level of the colonial government.

During the broadcast, the voice of Governor Mountbatten reading the appointment letter of King George VI brought tears to the eyes of countless Indians who listened to the news. The journey of striving for independence has been bumpy, and the joys and sorrows are difficult to describe in words.

At the same time, Governor Mountbatten said at the same time that next year, that is, at the centenary of British India in 1948, the British Empire will withdraw from British India, return all the rights and interests of this subcontinent to the Indians, and let the Indians reclaim set free.

This is the time when Governor Mountbatten once again confirmed the independence of British India in public. At the same time, this is also the final opinion of London. In this way, Nehru became the Deputy Prime Minister of British India. The vast majority of Indians are against this. One day is very satisfied, and it is not unsatisfactory that Patel is quite lost.

"Mr Patel, if the Conservative Party is not the Labour Party, the outcome may be different." Sir Barron reassured at this time, "As far as I know, Churchill and the Conservative Party are very fond of you. , Labour's opinion is just the opposite, that's what politicians are, opposing for opposing's sake."

"Thank you, Nehru is also a very talented person. I have nothing to say about fighting for independence." Although Patel was disappointed, he still took the overall situation into consideration and performed a show of forbearance for the country in front of Sir Barron. .

It's just that on such an important occasion today, Patel always feels that something is wrong, that something is missing. Then the cheers from the surrounding area interrupted Patel's thoughts.

He was still talking about a 100 million pound business without an assistant commissioner specializing in hot spots. When he learned that Nehru was appointed as deputy prime minister, he first expressed his congratulations to the big Indian comprador present, and then continued to carry out his own work. mediation work.

These big compradors are absolutely not at a loss for this deal, the absolute conscience price, the reason why they feel expensive is because of lack of greed.

On September 5, Alan Wilson, who disappeared for a week, returned to the Governor's Palace with contracts signed with major Indian business families. These contracts totaled 100 million pounds. At the same time, he reported the news to London by telegram.

This is the second big deal of over 100 million that Alan Wilson has done in his not long life. The assets sold in British India are all at absolute conscience prices. Some important assets are not all sold, but some of them are reserved. Equity, and these business families in India form a state in which you have me and I have you.

"I need to think carefully about what I'm missing to make the perfect end to my life in British India."

The corners of Sir Barron's mouth twitched when he heard Alan Wilson sitting there muttering to himself, what else was missing? How comprehensive are you doing this? Is there anything missing?

In the end, Alan Wilson gave up, and he couldn't remember it for a while. He might think of it when he went out for a walk.

Attlee was not without regrets about the solid step in the process of independence for British India. British India was the pearl of the British Empire, but when he was Prime Minister, he lost this pearl.

When he was feeling sad, the new cabinet secretary, Norman Brooke, came in and brought in a telegram worth hundreds of millions of pounds, informing British India that a batch of properties had been sold to local business families in India.

British India was born out of the East India Company in the past, and was later taken over by the state. Naturally, there are many enterprises belonging to the state. European countries are not the United States, and they have never felt any exclusion from companies under this model.

The 100 million pounds of incentives made Attlee, who was in a rather lost mood, suddenly return to normal. Ask Norman Brooke if the price is right.

"The very conscientious price is partly due to maintaining influence on the Indian elite. In fact, according to the meaning of local civil servants, it should be fully cashed out, although the Governor's Office has been talking with the Congress party about the preservation of legal property. But it must be Admit that most of the voices of the local civil servants are Indians who cannot be trusted."

Norman Brooke said slowly, "If the situation this year is the same as last year, we can still draw the same funds from the major colonies as last year, and the short-term debt has been completely cleared. If this amount of funds is added If you inject it, it will be more than enough to accomplish the goal.”

Norman Brooke spoke with sincerity. He was mainly moved by India's great act of being a drug testing site, er, saving lives and wounds. It has absolutely nothing to do with the bribery of American companies because of the drug testing site.

At present, Norman Brooke and Edward Bridges have a consensus that the status and welfare of future civil servants will largely depend on the existence of colonies. This is the consensus formed in the experience of British India over the past two years.

"By the way, Prime Minister, the civil servants of British India also have some opinions on some issues regarding the Tulip and British India, and I just took the opportunity to talk to the Prime Minister." Norman Brooke asked proactively, "I wonder if the Prime Minister has any questions. time."

"Sit down, Norman, of course I have time." Prime Minister Attlee expressed his interest very leniently.

Last year, the 600 million pounds of income from the global colonies was based on the plan of the German British-occupied area and British India to fly together. Of course, British India was tossed enough, and at the same time, it was not easy for Germany to be in the British-occupied area. After a set of operations by the British-occupied area trade committee, more than 20 million Germans in the entire British-occupied area worked hard for a year in vain.

But this income is not all, the figures of the major capitals transferring their property to British banks are not included in this figure.

Norman Brooke first talked about this matter. Just the monarch of Hyderabad, Ali Khan, transferred dozens of tons of gold and jewelry, as well as a large amount of pounds and dollars, and other monarchs who could It is said that almost everything that can be moved is transferred out.

What about these princes and states? Politicians in London believed that the relationship between the British government in India and the princely state was very special, and as soon as British rule in India came to an end, the power and responsibility that Britain had over the princely state ended.

When it comes to collecting money, Alan Wilson is definitely one of the models, mentioning the status of Hyderabad in the telegram.

"I can't care about them now. Of course, it's okay to try my best to speak for them. It also depends on the bottom line of the Congress Party and the Muslim League." Prime Minister Attlee shook his head, "Of course we still have hope, hope they Don't be so tough on this issue."

"This is similar to the judgment of the local civil servants, but the local civil servants had an idea through the incident in Northern Rhodesia to see if they could take advantage of the safety of overseas Indians to get the other side to make concessions."

"I didn't hear about this." Prime Minister Attlee shook his head directly, which was regarded as a statement on the matter. It would be best if it worked, but he still knew what was going on in Northern Rhodesia.

This very vicious approach, Attlee, as a politician, must never make up his mind. If it were leaked, it would be a very serious blow to his image.

He said that he had not heard it, which was already a statement. In the entire colonial system of the British Empire, Indians enjoyed higher status and privileges than almost all other colonial people except the European Dominion.

Become the right-hand man of the British Empire to rule these countries and regions, and even the governors and commissioners of the British Empire's African colonies openly advocated the development of the regions under their control into the Americas of the Indians.

Alan Wilson knew this voice, he even knew that there were colonial administrators who believed that the local natives should be replaced by Chinese. It is still a minority. There are many groups of Indian descent in the colonies of the British Empire in Africa, especially in East Africa.

This is the natural condition for a wave of typography in Northern Rhodesia. The British Empire regards British India as the center of the entire Indian Ocean, but now that British India is about to become independent, the former Indian helpers have become a burden.

In some places, there is no need for Indian help at all, and the British Empire can manage it by itself. Civil servants in British India also have a place to go. They cannot all return to their homeland, causing employment pressure~lightnovelpub.net~ Norman Brooke did not get the exact answer from Prime Minister Attlee to the native states and overseas Indians, so he talked about it. The last question, so I explained what quantitative easing is.

"Print money? Will this cause the collapse of the local currency?" Attlee frowned. What kind of bad idea is this?

"The local civil servants decided to print a banknote at the last moment of British India and distribute it to the locals as a benefit. Of course, this will depreciate the rupee to a certain extent, but after calculation, there are still many benefits. On the other hand, if the rupee depreciates, the pound can achieve relative stability.”

"Who is the opinion of this local civil servant?" Prime Minister Attlee thought for a while and asked.

"Uh, it's the assistant commissioner of British India." Norman Brooke finally replied after hesitating.

A sneeze... Alan Wilson, who sneezed, apologized to Ronald Koeman, the representative of Merck Group, "I'm a little rude, I don't know what the results of Merck's inspection are? I must solemnly remind, Right now the rights are still in our hands, once you talk to the Indians, it won't be so convenient."
