v1 Chapter 347: withdrawal plan

The purpose of this visit to the major states includes, but is not limited to, giving some advice to the next development of British India. At this time, Nehru, in the mouth of Alan Wilson, is again an abominable socialist.

It is impossible for the native states to exist for a long time, and because of the international trade settlement problem of sterling, there is a high probability that London will not take a stand on the question of the native states. In other words, it will not risk falling out with the independent India. State in solidarity.

The future of Tubang is only in his own hands, and he paid attention to how the transfer of property went. As well as the private armies of the major states, Alan Wilson was slightly relieved.

At this time, as a small colonial official, he seemed to be moving against the trend of history and carried out a futile moth to the flame.

After visiting the state of Travan Kol, Alan Wilson began to head north, stopped for a while in the state of Mysore, and then went to Hyderabad, where he met the monarch Ali Khan.

Ali Khan is probably the most respected Indian by Alan Wilson. After meeting Ali Khan, Alan Wilson apologized sincerely and sincerely said, "I have been working hard to save Hyderabad, and I hope London can warn the National Congress. The party's proposition. But now it seems that a penny really beats a hero."

"I can always see the sincerity of Commissioner Allen." Although Ali Khan could not hide his disappointment, this disappointment was directed at the London government, not Alan Wilson.

"Although it has not been officially announced, the independent plan for British India is actually the partition of India and Pakistan. That is, Ali Jinnah's proposition." There were no outsiders, and Alan Wilson told Ali Khan about this still confidential news. .

"Oh? The future of the princely states has not been explained?" Ali Khan sighed after listening to the mixed news, "I don't know if this is good news. The major princely states have called for joining the Commonwealth in the form of a dominion. London has not responded."

"According to domestic assessments, to forcibly suppress India's independence momentum, 500,000 British troops need to be stationed in British India. There are not so many British troops stationed in British India during the World War." Alan Wilson complained helplessly, "Before the My work to promote disarmament is to weaken the strength of the Indian army as much as possible. The key to how to protect itself with troops is the issue of Kashmir. My personal suggestion is to regard the direction of Kashmir as the key to solving the status of the state."

"There is only one chance, and it must not be missed." Allen Wilson analyzed for Ali Khan, "Everyone knows the situation in Kashmir, the Hindu monarch and the people of peace religion, the outbreak of war is a high probability event. Once India and Pakistan fight because of that place. Get up, Your Majesty, don't hesitate to go. This is the only chance to force the Congress Party into submission."

This is not the first time he has discussed the Kashmir issue. He even discussed this issue with Ali Jinnah earlier. After the Kashmir issue emerged, India has actually acted more decisively than Pakistan. At the beginning of Pakistan, all the private troops were looking forward to the future, and India was investing in the regular Indian army.

In the previous disarmament, the British Indian government consciously abolished the Indian troops, while retaining a large number of Sikh troops. To prevent it from being too obvious, Nehru has just started after independence, and there must be fewer cards than in history.

Of course, this does not mean that Nehru did not dare to go to war. After all, Kashmir is the hometown of the Nehru family. The founding leader lost his hometown? It seemed to be a humiliation for Nehru.

Alan Wilson and Ali Jinnah talking about Kashmir are not without effect. With a reminder, Ali Jinnah might not start out, fighting the Indian regular army with tribal armed forces.

If India and Pakistan fight in Kashmir, if Ali Khan can unite with other major states to put pressure on New Delhi, he may not be able to win a few years. It doesn't seem like at the beginning, Hyderabad and Junagadh were killed instantly, which might slow down the pace of India's unification.

There is nothing wrong with slowing down, and now, Alan Wilson can only use the word slowing down to describe it. After all, there are only a few powerful native states, and they do not border each other.

"When the time comes, remember to contact the Portuguese. The Portuguese are also very willing to make friends like Maharaja Ali Khan." Finally, Alan Wilson said, "I am thinking of a way to evacuate the British army. Some British troops want to evacuate. Go to Junagadh to prevent Nehru from acting rashly. It is more difficult here in Hyderabad. The Maharaja's state is inland, we can never withdraw our troops to the inland, right?"

The British army withdrew to Junagadh, and the Indian army wanted to rush into Junagadh under the eyes of the British army, overthrow the monarch, and hold a referendum to merge Junagadh into India. It takes a lot of courage to operate.

If the peace monarchs of Hyderabad and Junagadh are all safe, when the India-Pakistan war begins, how can they form a supporting role for Pakistan, even if it is verbal support.

In fact, it is not enough. It is best for the Portuguese to also announce the content of the secret agreement and put the occupied land under the name of Portuguese Goa. With the support of the Portuguese, India will have greater scruples.

If Alan Wilson hadn't been scruples in his heart, fearing that the war would be protracted, and finally let the Communist Party of India, which is the easiest to develop in the war, come to power, he would definitely formulate a joint operation plan. The Indians became independent on the first day, and a full-scale war broke out on the second day.

Leaving Hyderabad, Alan Wilson went directly to Goa to enjoy the rare Christian atmosphere in the subcontinent, thinking about what he could not do under the inspiration of God.

The Bohm Church has a Holy Land Garden and Baroque steps, and the Bohm Abbey was initiated by the Bishop of Braga in 1723. The different classes, the colonnade on the granite steps and the white plaster walls seem to dissolve into an architectural impression that draws your attention to the church towering on top of the hill.

Boxwood, camellia and rhododendron form a beautiful spring scenery. In this situation, Alan Wilson knelt down on one knee, took out the prepared ring, and put it on Pamela Mountbatten's fingertips.

"Give me a ring again?" Pamela Mountbatten smiled, looking at the spire of Bohm Abbey and said expectantly, "Don't you want to say something?"

"I'm stupid, so be direct. Can you marry me?" Alan Wilson raised his head and said very cleverly, "I don't know if Miss Pamela is willing to be Mrs. Wilson."

As soon as her little hand stretched out and put on the ring, Pamela Mountbatten looked at the ring on her fingertip and said, "What do you think?"

This marriage proposal scene was actually very bland, and the witnesses were only a few soldiers who followed. Alan Wilson did not forget these soldiers who protected Pamela Mountbatten. He paid an extra hard fee and invited a few soldiers to dinner. .

For the stingy him, this is definitely an investment. What he gave was US dollars, but he forgot that it was the group of American guests who received the exchange. He has received several batches of American guests, how can he remember it so clearly ?

When Alan Wilson was not stingy, he was limited to his wife and women of the same status. He was always plucking the hairs of others. Several soldiers even thought he was a good person. The daughter of the deputy king found a good match.

The poor Guard was bewitched by Alan Wilson's hypocritical appearance, and has to say that his acting has grown amazingly. Thanks to Greta Garbo for making up lessons for him from time to time when he was in New Delhi.

It was still rewarding to go out for a trip, and Pamela Mountbatten settled the matter between the two is one of them. Another point is that I always feel that the work has not been done properly. Draw up a withdrawal plan for the British troops stationed in India.

Inspiration is something that needs to be stimulated in different ways, and hard work can always be squeezed out. In the end, Alan Wilson was inspired by his civil service work and decided not to go to Kashmir for the time being.

Develop plans for the withdrawal of British troops from India and the transfer of arms. There is nothing to say about the navy, not a single large warship needs to be handed over, and the Andaman Islands were almost built before the riots.

It can be used directly at that time, not to mention that Maclean has signed a treaty with Ceylon, and the port of Ceylon will serve as the Indian Ocean port of the Royal Navy for a long time.

Mainly in the army, Alan Wilson felt that heavy weapons could be handed over in the gathering area of ​​pacifists. And the British army stationed in India in the Hindu gathering area must take away all the heavy weapons.

The evacuation should look like an evacuation, and the contact of Indian assistants with the production process should be strictly controlled from now on. The production lines of the major arsenals can be left, but the drawings must not be left.

The steel and coal hoarded by the arsenal can be sold by the person in charge of the local factory from now on.

The withdrawal route of the major British army bases, the British army on the east coast of the subcontinent directly stationed in Ceylon, the Andaman Islands, British Malaya and British Burma, and the withdrawal route of the west coast is divided into two parts, one enters the Portuguese fruit. Ah, the other one is to enter Junagadh.

Hopefully, the Indo-Pakistani war has broken out at that time, and a civil war has broken out in the former colonies. It would not be too much for the army of the former suzerain country to wait and see. It is simply very reasonable.

The institutions in the three countries of northern Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal are temporarily reserved and not included in the evacuation. As for where the British troops on the west coast eventually evacuated, Alan Wilson felt that the British troops in the Gulf should be strengthened.

After formulating this withdrawal plan, I began to explain a reasonable explanation why the withdrawal was made like this. Then I sent a telegram to London and waited for the news back from London.

The British army stationed in India will definitely not return to China. Civil servants need jobs when they return to China. Is it necessary for soldiers to return to China? Or should the soldiers tighten their belts and not cause trouble for the country?

The British troops stationed in India evacuated by British India will definitely go to other colonies, so as not to cause trouble to the tense domestic employment situation.
