Chapter 69 Yes, Minister!
People are in Europe, and their hearts are in India. This is the current state of Alan Wilson. The greater the possibility of British India's independence from the United Kingdom, the more Alan Wilson wants to fight for the last post.
No way, who made him a civil servant of the empire? What else could be done without considering the interests of the British Empire?
Because he is the liaison officer of the Ministry of Indian Affairs to British India, and he is only temporarily in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he is very familiar with contacting the Ministry of Indian Affairs. Combined with the current first-hand information in Europe, it shows the importance of restoring order in Europe as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that all European countries have been severely damaged by the war. If you don't admit this, just wait for the Soviet Union to liberate the world.
At this time, we cannot believe that Europe and the free world are deceiving themselves, otherwise they will be no different from Democrats who believe in polls. Real estate businessmen have already proved that polls are tantamount to fraud.
To be honest, raising food from British India at this time and transporting it to Europe is to use the goods from Great Britain to win the favor of Europe.
But the UK can't pay for it by itself! Supporting Europe is a decision made by the London government, and it is the London government's responsibility to hold the responsibility. All Alan Wilson can do is to use his understanding of British India to let the British mainland take the responsibility. It belongs to India to bear.
Avoid burdening the British Empire right after the war. In the matter of patriotism, Alan Wilson is selfless, just to make the country better.
He, the liaison officer of British India, is just an executor, doing what seems like the British cutting flesh and blood for Europe. Decisions are made by the London government.
It is also because of the colonial status of British India that the burden can be passed on. Otherwise, it would be like the Sleeping King's proposition in the 21st century, that the United States would make friends with Europe by giving away its profits, and gradually make plans for a certain big country. It seems to have a long-term vision, but the benefits that are conceded must be sacrificed by the citizens of the country, and the citizens would rather continue to watch the real estate businessmen who punched seven wounds continue to rise to power.
For the British citizens in 1945, the London government needed to restore the European order immediately, and in the overall situation, money must be spent, but for the British citizens, I really have a cow!
"There is no doubt that in this world war, India's local elite power has grown stronger again. British India has become increasingly uncontrollable, but Britain still faces many problems, but at present, the local economy must be guaranteed. , the method that can be conceived, and has always worked in the past, is to use the material resources of British India to support the present United Kingdom and Europe."
In a telegram to Indian Affairs Secretary Leo Emery, Alan Wilson stated that he must not soften his position on draining India of its last bit of value.
He believes that the Minister of Indian Affairs can understand this, because it was under the wise leadership of Leo Emery that Britain, in order to quell the global war as soon as possible, disregarded the outbreak of famine in India, shipped food to support the war, and let Bangladesh The outbreak of the Great Famine.
Since there was the first time, it’s okay to have the second time. Anyway, the abnormal weather in South Asia is well known.
Alan Wilson certainly knows the possible consequences. If he does not have the ability to fart to cause climate change on the earth, next year there will be climate fluctuations in many countries around the world, and food shortages will occur in many places. The more famous one is the 1946 famine in the Soviet Union, but in fact a famine broke out in India in the same year.
At this time, the proposal to transport grain from British India is proposed. The famine may expand next year, but it can't be controlled so much. Alan Wilson didn't believe that there are still people who use next year's natural disasters to find this year's future.
"Call Hallett to come in and send a telegram to the Governor-General of India." Leo Emery, the Minister of Indian Affairs, called the Secretary of the Indian Affairs Department in and said, "It's a matter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Simply put, it's from Marshal Montgomery. The British-occupied area needs food to stabilize the social order as soon as possible. You know the current local situation.
If it affects the quality of life of the citizens of the country, it may have adverse effects at this time of the election. "
"Yes, Minister!" Hallett stood still and listened to the words of the Minister of Indian Affairs, Leo Emery, and added, "For personal reasons, I pretended not to hear about the election just now. I will inform India immediately Governor's Mansion!"
"Is there any difficulty?" Leo Emery asked, he was more afraid of causing chaos in British India.
"No problem, the 100,000 civil servants in British India are always busy working for the empire's decision-making." Hallett assured, patted his chest.
What could be wrong? For civil servants, doing nothing is certainly a pursuit. But doing nothing also proves that there is no chance to make money. For such an imperial mission, the officials of British India not only do not feel disgusted, but will go to work with a lot of energy, because the benefits contained in it will make everyone unable to remain indifferent.
At the Governor's Office of British India in New Delhi, Governor Wavell scratched his head with a telegram sent by the Minister of Indian Affairs in London, "The war in Southeast Asia is not over yet. London also expects British India to send some food to help stabilize Europe as soon as possible." The situation seems to be putting too much pressure on British India."
"Governor, I don't think so." Sir Barron said with a smile, "British India is undoubtedly extremely important to the British Empire. Without British India, the prosperity of the British Empire would not be the same. Success. But at present, we are serving the overall situation, and it is indeed the most important thing to restore stability in the mainland and Europe as soon as possible, and the Minister of Indian Affairs is right about this.”
"I'm just worried that the pressure on British India is too great." Governor Wavell said a little embarrassedly, "By the way, this is a telegram from the little commissioner. I don't know how the output of Punjab Province is this year. The above is for Punjab I am a little worried about the gathering of various religions in the province, as there are many peaceful believers in the area, will it cause religious conflicts."
Sir Barron took over the telegram from Governor Wavell, and looked at the concerns about the mixing of the three major religions in Punjab, the corners of his mouth curled up. How could this be so similar to the wording of the telegram that old Wilson sent in Bengal during the Bengal famine?
"No problem, Governor!" Sir Baron put away the telegram and reported, "We will certainly supply enough food."
The sun was setting, and a busy day at the Governor's Mansion was over. Pamela Mountbatten was waiting in front of the Governor's Mansion. After a while, Sir Barron got off work and saw Pamela Mountbatten waiting at a glance.
"Uncle Barron!" Pamela Mountbatten greeted very obediently, "Do you have my telegram?"
"It depends on whose telegram you want!" Sir Barron held back, then pulled out a telegram and handed it over, "Then, as a girl, you should pay attention to your ladylike demeanor."
