Since the arrival of the three cabinet ministers in British India, most of Alan Wilson's daily work is to think about how to arrange the trips of the three cabinet ministers while keeping the Indians satisfied.

Ever since he began to worry about the treatment of Indian veterans, Alan Wilson suddenly discovered a lot of itineraries that could delay time, such as rewarding grassroots troops who participated in the war during the war.

On the outskirts of New Delhi, the factory is separated by a tall fence. Compared with other factories, this factory is very clean. The roar of machines is heard in Alan Wilson's ears.

It is conceivable that the operation of this factory must be good at present. Alan Wilson followed the two officers into the factory, and saw that the production line in the factory was busy. As for the products that are about to be put into the market from the production line, It is banknotes, simply Indian rupees.

"I believe in the technology of De La Rue Company. If nothing else, no one will dislike the products it produces." Alan Wilson stopped for a moment beside the production line of the money printing machine and sighed with a smile. , "Especially Indians, definitely like it."

In the impression of ordinary people, the banknote printing company should belong to the state-owned enterprise, but the Delaru banknote printing company is a private enterprise.

In fact, in addition to countries that only print money domestically, many countries will transfer part of their money printing business to overseas money printing companies. Among them, the British De La Rue Company, during the long colonial rule of the British Empire, has accumulated money in the colonies. Quite a lot of experience.

Alan Wilson remembers that after India's independence, he felt ashamed that his banknotes were controlled by De La Rue. Finally, administrative intervention was used to nationalize the right to print money, and it became one of the few countries in the world that prints their own money.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that Alan Wilson saw the production line of a money printing machine. It was inevitable that he would be a little excited. Printing money was the childhood dream of all boys, a masterpiece of daydreaming.

"Mr. Allen, we at De La Rue have been serving the British Empire for a long time. The banknotes provided are exquisite, pleasing and professional. There is no problem at all." Andrew, the head of the factory, saw Allen Wilson's His eyes were reluctant to leave for a long time, and he introduced the production process of the factory on the side.

"I personally think that the main reason why products are popular is that your products are banknotes. No one doesn't like banknotes." Alan Wilson showed an expression that everyone understood, and then restrained his greed and said, " I believe in the next one to two years, De La Rue's business will definitely be very good."

De La Rue, a British banknote manufacturer, has been printing banknotes for the Bank of England since 1860. Not surprisingly, the money printing of British India, the most valuable colony of the British Empire, also fell into the hands of De La Rue.

In 1860, the United Kingdom passed the Banking Partnership Act to allow any person and group to form a joint-stock bank. British private banks emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the demand for money printing skyrocketed.

And Drucker seized the opportunity, started printing money, and expanded its business globally with the help of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Now that the war is over, many economically damaged countries will choose a method, that is, to abolish the old banknotes and use the new banknotes to maintain economic stability. The business of De La Rue will definitely increase in the future.

Because the money printing process is complex, firstly, it requires top-level printing equipment and constantly updating the printing process; secondly, it is necessary to continuously develop a new generation of anti-counterfeiting technology; thirdly, currency manufacturing is a large-scale industry of equipment costs. Advantage.

However, Alan Wilson mentioned nothing but the matter of the northern neighbors. I believe that De La Rue will receive orders for printing gold coins in the next few years.

And Alan Wilson is also preparing to expand the circulation of the Indian rupee, such as this time the grass-roots military officer awards.

In fact, Alan Wilson came here to talk about it this time. As the factory supervisor Andrew entered the other party's office, as a banknote printing factory, the security of this factory is absolutely in place, and it is far from the British army barracks in New Delhi. It's not far, don't worry about any danger.

"As you know, in British India now, currency liquidity is very poor. And there are many activities. Many activities cost money, and it costs a lot of money." Alan Wilson frowned as soon as he sat down. Dao said, "Take the awarding of honors to junior officers, which is about to start, there is always a little bonus. It is easy to improve the military rank, but what about awarding medals? Well, everyone knows that there is a strong demand for precious metals after the war. It's better to send paper money directly."

Alan Wilson's face was exposed, and he didn't want to give too expensive medals to the Indian officers who received the awards. It was enough to get some silver and copper to deal with, and other treatments were converted into banknotes.

Moreover, the number of officers who have been awarded medals is no more than 300 people, and printing a little more money will not cause the expansion of the passage. As long as Alan Wilson doesn't talk about this kind of thing, how can anyone else know?

Under the various hints of the Assistant Commissioner of British India, the director of De La Rue understood and asked tentatively, "How many banknotes to provide."

"That's not much, but we also need to pay attention to the market's acceptance, so you print 10 million first, and I will track the circulation in Delhi. This is all for the study of economic laws, and there is no other purpose. "

Alan Wilson calculated it, and gave three million to the awarded officers, leaving the remaining seven million for market testing, which was just enough.

From the perspective of economic laws, the consequences of money printing have a certain lag, so in the future, the financial security of British India, and now testing the consequences of currency over-issuance, is actually understandable, it is just an experiment, this is to study the laws of economic operation .

"How long does it take to get ready? Don't want large bills, but small bills with the best circulation rates on the market." Alan Wilson asked, looking at Andrew who was thinking, "It's okay."

"It can be ready in a day. Mr. Allen can come and pick it up." Andrew thought for a while and gave a suitable time. A money printing machine can print 1.4 billion banknotes a year. 10 million in cash is not a lot of work.

Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, saying that before the award ceremony, someone would be sent to fetch it, "I believe that the strength of the De La Rue Banknote Printing Company will never let several cabinet ministers wait. This is a political task."

Mentioning the importance of printing money this time, Alan Wilson left. Maybe he will come often in the next two years. Don't get too clear about the money printing factory now, and leave a little mystery to explore later.

As for the awards for the grass-roots officers during the Indian War, in simple terms, the military rank must be significantly improved, generally one must be upgraded, and the money cannot be given less. As for the gold medals, there are no gold medals. .

After all, supporting the mainland is the most important thing, and the days of British India will be a little harder.

The award will be chaired by Field Marshal Archibald Percival Wavell, Governor-General of British India, in the presence of three cabinet ministers.

Senior leaders of the Congress Party and the Muslim League were invited to observe the ceremony. Field Marshal Wavell's speech was drafted by Sir Barron. In the speech, in addition to remembering the years when the two sides fought side by side, he also expressed his concern about the retirement of Indian soldiers after the war. After expressing concern and hinting that there are still benefits to be distributed, this award is just the beginning.

"First stabilize the morale of the Indian soldiers. The Congress Party and the Muslim League can't make trouble if they want to. The main reason is the army. The sailors have no warships. The combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. It is still easy for the Royal Navy to clean up these little blacks on the ocean."

Sir Barron, who was sitting on the left side, glanced back and forth at the distinct camp of the Congress Party and the Mu League, and said to Alan Wilson with two minds, "The most important thing is the follow-up, in fact, you can and The princes of the native states have talked, I know you have always wanted such an opportunity, and you haven’t seen Ali Khan for a long time, right?”

"Alan really doesn't know what to say about Sir Barron's concern." Alan Wilson whispered, "Actually, Maharaja Ali Khan also admires Sir Barron very much."

"Forget about admiration, I just did my duty." Sir Barron shook his head slightly, "Look at the other side, I don't even dress up for such an important occasion."

As the awards went on, the junior officers ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, mainly about one-third of the Sikh officers, received the awards. The brand new Indian rupee was handed out, and the official promotion was not a problem.

When this wave of heat has passed, Alan Wilson will focus on protecting the interests of Sikh officers and let these Sikh officers continue to serve in the military.

As for the allocation of land, we can first implement it on a small scale to see the reactions of all parties. Hindu provinces close to Sikh settlements will be implemented first.

While thinking so, Alan Wilson saw some officers holding brand-new banknotes and sniffing them under his nose. He was shocked. Wouldn't the ink still be dry?

No, you have to trust the technology of the British money printing machine, how could such a thing happen. It's nothing more than that old question, who doesn't like money?

Indian public opinion in March was swiped by two things. The first thing was about commending India's contribution to the war. The presence of three cabinet ministers and an Indian governor-general gave India its due evaluation during the war.

The second thing is that India's daughter, Vivien Leigh, an internationally renowned actress born in British India, is about to land in India. Compared with the former, the latter has a significantly greater spread. Many Indians are looking forward to this!
