British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1196: broken window effect

"Maybe the Indians are not as relaxed as you are at this time." Rabo Butler said with a dumbfounded smile.

"Minister, it's not necessarily true. From India's point of view, isn't it the time when it has the most autonomy in thousands of years? Is it really like what Nehru said, India has been a political entity since ancient times?"

Alan Wilson smiled and said, "Although the Indians may not believe it, but now is India's most glorious time, and it may be a bit imprecise. Before this war, India was at its most glorious time."

As long as you use a grand narrative to summarize, you are in a different country and look at other countries completely differently.

In the eyes of others, Britain is the place where the industrial revolution originated, and the empire on which the sun never sets across the world. The world hegemon for two hundred years.

In the eyes of Alan Wilson, the United Kingdom, the independence of British India, the independence of British Sudan, and the independence of British Nigeria, is a rapidly declining future...

Decades later, the self in the eyes of a certain big country was defeated in the Opium War, humiliated for a hundred years, ceded land for compensation, defeated in the Sino-Japanese War, and civil war for decades.

A certain big country in the eyes of others, the last dynasty expanded all the way and swallowed Zhungeer, with a population of 400 million and an expansion of land of 13 million. The winner of World War I, the winner of World War II, went to war with the United States, India, and the Soviet Union, with the second largest economy in the world, and then muttered that this century-old shame will be a shame.

Both of these scenarios are true, purely depending on how you look at them. What Britain did in the colonial era was no more excessive than those countries in the agricultural era, but this era has recorded all the bad things Britain has done.

But now, at least here in India, Britain can finally take advantage of this war to rest from the list of the number one enemy in India's eyes. Even if Nehru was still wary of Britain, he couldn't change the simple thinking of the Indian people. How could they forget it immediately after being beaten?

The news of the arrival of the British delegation in New Delhi quickly spread in this already independent country, and Rabo Butler received a huge welcome. India, which fell from the peak to the bottom, remembered the goodness of Britain.

On the way to the Windsor Castle Hotel in New Delhi, countless Indians, men, women and children, all stared at the convoy of the British delegation. At this time, they were bewildered and could only pin their hopes on Britain thousands of miles away.

Entering the hotel, Allen Wilson went directly to the reserved room and knocked on the door. The door was opened, and Heidi Rama opened the door and dragged the man in.

"Didn't you wear the classic robe?" Alan Wilson laughed straight, "This is New Delhi, the place where our fate began, but it is very memorable."

"You're the one who talks a lot." Heidi Lamarr rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson and muttered in a low voice, "That means I am obedient to you, no matter where you go, I will not accompany you with complaints."

"Yes, you have worked hard." While speaking, Alan Wilson had already embraced Heidi Lamarr and admitted his mistake. "I was wrong. Any complaints in front of you are a blasphemy against your hard work."

"That's about the same!" Heidi Lama seemed to be relieved, feeling that her hard work was not in vain.

After a long journey, the two decided to take a bath and relax before throwing themselves into the intense work.

"It's really surprising to come to New Delhi this time. Didn't you say that you won't come in the future?" Heidi Rama lay weakly in the man's arms, her face was still flushed, and it was obvious that she hadn't recovered yet.

"It's different now. I didn't come here because I have some grievances here. It's different now, other countries have replaced the status of the United Kingdom." Lighting a cigarette, Alan Wilson said with an intoxicated face, "Then now that something has changed, I don't have to avoid the opportunity to come to India."

Today, Alan Wilson can restore the true colors of the old friend of the Indian people, stand on the side of India confidently, and seek benefits for the United Kingdom.

"But what about the large fleet assembled by you in the UK?" Heidi Rama asked suddenly as if remembering something.

"They have something to do." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, and the broken window effect was about to appear. It's no wonder the UK, because the Indians themselves are not up to date, and it will naturally affect Indians in other places.

Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is the core of British Africa once planned by the United Kingdom. Like other British colonies, there is a huge Indian community. The Indian population in Kenya is 400,000.

The news of India's defeat came across the ocean, which immediately shocked the Indian community here. Countless Indians took to the streets of Nairobi to support their mother country. These people were very excited and could not wait to leave and go back to the country to join the war.

Gu 衋/span> This caused the British troops stationed in Kenya to stand on guard and did not dare to board the ship according to the plan. Instead, they took a vigilant attitude to protect the white community. What would happen to an alien group in a strange place if they did not regard themselves as locals?

The riot just happened, and the whole Nairobi was full of smoke. The blacks regarded the Indians as the accomplices of the white colonists. With the presence of the British army, they did not dare to do anything to the whites. But not so polite to Indians.

In the urban area of ​​Nairobi, the Kenyans who had been screaming and killing for a long time launched zero-dollar purchases against these foreign Indians. Riots broke out in every block. No one knew the reason or how it started.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, the British Army in Kenya withdrew its all-out efforts to defend the white community. At the same time, it contacted the British Royal Navy fleet in the open sea and demanded to suppress the riots in Kenya.

At this time, the Indian community was in a raging fire, and the Kenyans who succeeded in zero-dollar purchases tasted the sweetness and were completely immersed in the joy of zero-dollar purchases. The army shot and killed them directly, and quickly concentrated on finding trouble with Indians.

There must always be a reason for the Royal Navy's inability to arrive on time, otherwise, would Indian nationalists think that Britain is not working hard? Of course Alan Wilson knew that it was a fact that he did not work hard, but Britain could not admit this.

What can be done to cover the mouths of Indian nationalists so that they cannot think of picking peaches in the UK? Then we can only suffer for the Indian people.

As a British gentleman, Alan Wilson really didn't want to make such a bad move, so he asked the Malaya side to keep an eye on it. As for Kennedy, because of the complicated social environment, the UK has recently rushed to help India, so he relaxed his vigilance. It is normal to have a little mistake.

The riots in Kenya immediately aroused the response of the Royal Navy, and the plan to rush thousands of miles to help India had to be temporarily terminated.

The top priority now is to restore calm to Kenya. At the same time, London officially informed the causes and consequences of the riots in Kenya, and said that this may be a broken window effect.

The broken window effect believes that if the bad phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, it will induce people to follow suit and even intensify. Take a building with a few broken windows, if those windows are not repaired, there may be more windows damaged by vandals. Eventually they'll even break into buildings, and if found unoccupied, perhaps settle there or set fire to them.

On a wall, if there are some graffiti that are not cleaned off, the wall will soon be covered with messy and unsightly things.

This effect, of course, was summed up by Sir Wilson, a famous British scholar and the current executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After receiving the news, Allen Wilson informed Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler of the fact of the riots in Nairobi, and pushed the root cause of the riots to the defeat of India, which led to the anger of Indians, which in turn led to the dissatisfaction of local blacks in Kenya, resulting in This riot happened.

"Is there no problem with the white community?" Rabo Butler asked nervously.

"From the current point of view, there is no problem!" Alan Wilson took a reassurance for Rabo Butler, "But I am afraid that other colonies will follow suit. It seems that from the moment India was defeated, it will not affect many things in the world. It’s the same. We must pay special attention to the movements of Aden, Mauritius and even other colonies.”

Alan Wilson said with a responsible attitude that this matter was entrusted to him. Rabo Butler was still preparing for a diplomatic trip with Nehru. He said it lightly, but he knew very well that the biggest broken window effect had not yet begun. Woolen cloth.

For example, Pakistan, the other protagonist of the Partition of India, watched India being beaten to death with his own eyes, didn't he have any thoughts in his heart? After the partition of India and Pakistan, the two countries are a pair of brothers and sisters~lightnovelpub.net~India will think after this war that it should find a country with a powerful army as foreign aid. Although the United Kingdom and the United States are powerful, they are not good at land warfare, and their local It is indeed too far from India.

Is this a coincidence? Pakistan also thinks so, and there is no need to weigh who to look for like India. Pakistan borders a certain big country, so there is no need to think about it, an all-weather ally is ready-made.

Even if the United States puts pressure on it, it is useless. The United States is far away in the sky. How can it be more practical to have strong assistance right in front of us?

Pakistan has become more courageous, and that is the real broken window effect, not the current riot in Nairobi, Kenya, where it is not known how many people died.

When Rabo Butler and Nehru met for the first time, with a heavy heart, he informed the former powerful Prime Minister Nehru of the tragedy that happened in British Kenya, and said that the United Kingdom will definitely handle it well and guarantee The safety of these Indians.

"The world is so impermanent!" Alan Wilson sighed, wondering if he was replicating this in Mauritius? Don't be too harsh. The second largest ethnic group in Mauritius is of French descent. It's really annoying.
