British Civil Servant
Chapter 229: Opportunity to robbery
Can be the boss who will choose to be the second child? Those countries that say their country has no ambitions for the world are generally just because of the issue of national strength and cannot achieve global ambitions, which does not mean that they really do not.
This is especially evident when it comes to the internal relations between Patel and Nehru in the Congress party.
When it came to Nehru's rise to power, perhaps Gandhi did feel that he was getting old. Perhaps Gandhi had seen that self-government still had an absolute advantage in the Congress party. Perhaps Gandhi really felt that the elders who had passed their sixtieth birthday should give full support to the young people. Presiding over the work, he repeatedly suggested at Congress meetings that Congress should be chaired by Nehru.
Although he was very aware of Nehru's education in England, he had little understanding of the situation in India, and his claim for immediate independence appeared to be fanciful, but Gandhi knew the young man. He has feelings, and he has passed the test of the barrage and fire many times.
Although the young man did not understand and were enthusiastic about Gandhi's homebout movement, and they had major differences on some major issues, Gandhi's determination had been made.
Gandhi's proposal for Nehru to be the chairman of the Congress party has been approved, but many people in the Congress party cannot understand and accept it. Gandhi patiently explained to these people.
He said: "Don't worry about putting power in the hands of young people, it's scary for someone like me to have power. Some people think he's too excited, but I think he has a warrior-like impulse, There is also the prudence of politicians. Give him the power and the country is safe.”
The reason why Nehru is higher than Patel in the Congress party today has a huge relationship with Gandhi's support back then. Does Patel wear it, obedience on the surface, who knows behind the scenes?
Alan Wilson also knows more. In fact, when India was just independent, some people believed that India under the management of Patel and Nehru was a double-headed politics. However, Patel's problem is the same as that of Ali Jinnah, who died almost a few years after India became independent.
Unlike Ali Jinnah, who was afflicted with illness, at least on the surface Patel couldn't see the problem. Maybe he didn't think he had any problem, and now he is still thinking about competing with Nehru.
This telegram from London just gave Patel a chance to appear on the international stage. It would be a pity to miss it.
"I still have to go back and think about it." Although Patel had already decided to start a trip to London in his heart, after years of British education, he verbally said that he should think about it.
But if anyone made him really think about it, it would undoubtedly be his enemy.
"Then the next one is Mu Meng." Seeing Patel leaving the Governor's Mansion, Alan Wilson muttered, and he had to repeat what just happened, but with a different object.
Sending nasty people away would relieve the pressure that British India is now facing.
In fact, the situation faced this time reminds Alan Wilson of another major famine decades ago, the same two consecutive years of drought, and the same operation method.
In 1876, crops in the Deccan Plateau were not harvested due to drought, which affected both southern and southwestern India. The famine expanded in the following year, and the affected area reached 700,000 square kilometers.
During this period, the local governor exported a record 6.4 million tons of wheat to the United Kingdom, and held a grand banquet of 60,000 people to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria, which weakened India's economic strength to a certain extent. , the famine affected about 55 million people and killed 5.5 million people.
There are also some advantages now. For example, British India now has a full 200,000 tons of wheat. Although the population has already doubled several times, it seems to be a drop in the bucket.
But we can't help but consider that the times have always brought some changes. This is an era of globalization. Maybe the Indians who are begging with their jobs will really let some countries donate money and goods.
If the Americans can show some kindness, before the independence of British India, Alan Wilson would not mind selling some of the natural resources of British India still in his hands to American companies at reasonable prices.
Who made him born good-hearted, and he can't see the scene of people starving.
Naturally, Alan Wilson would not have known about the discussions within the Congress Party, but he knew what Gandhi was doing recently, playing the profession of a saint. After all, Gandhi has also shaped the image of a saint for decades, and he is very familiar with how to handle it.
At this time, Gandhi was in his seventies, and his appearance was not surprising. He was always naked and tied with a loincloth. Authority, so that others have to show respect and admiration for him.
His quiet and deep eyes can always make a deep observation on things, and his clear and kind voice always makes people feel refreshed and resonated. No matter how many people his audience was, he was able to connect with Gandhi.
But this time Gandhi had to return to the Congress party, and while Alan Wilson did the same to lobby the Muslim League, Patel and Nehru were divided over the trip to London.
With the status of Nehru and Patel in the Congress Party, once there is a difference between the two people, almost no one can mediate. Only one person has this kind of prestige, and that is Gandhi, who has started to tour.
There was a dispute over the two young and powerful leaders of the party, and Gandhi had to rush back immediately.
Regarding the trip to London, Nehru believed that this was another imperialist conspiracy, and it would not be different from the previous roundtable meetings. It should adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative approach and reject the trip to London this time.
But Patel has a different view on this. He feels that after the baptism of the world war, the time for India's independence is ripe.
This trip to London is different from the original roundtable in terms of environment. It is a good opportunity for the British and even the world to listen to the voice of India. This opportunity should not be missed.
"The British have proven over the years that they will not let go," Nehru said firmly. "We must understand that the long-term nature of this struggle cannot be taken lightly."
"We have been fighting for decades, starting after the First World War, and now after the Second World War, where it is easy. On the contrary, this is a good opportunity." Patel in front of Gandhi "This is the last obstacle, as long as we get over it, we will free hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent. Become a glorious Indian, not a colony of the British Empire. in front of the world."
"I don't think going to a city thousands of miles away is more important than fighting in the subcontinent." Nehru said with a smile, "What are you going to do in the international community, wagging your tail and begging for mercy?"
"Mr. Gandhi, I have a hard time imagining this is what Nehru said." Patel turned to Gandhi and said, "I have made up my mind to set off immediately, so that the Londoners can hear the voice of the Indians and understand that the colonial era is over. already."
Gandhi was silent, already aware that Patel must go, and nodded helplessly, "Well, I won't stop anyone, I hope your trip to London goes smoothly and you can get the conditions you want for India. ."
Soon the Governor's Office got Patel's affirmative answer. In Sir Barron's office, Alan Wilson told the news to his immediate superior, "This Congress Party conservative leaves India, can be relieved It would be better if there was an accident on the way."
"Don't be impulsive!" Sir Barron shook his head and said, "This is too obvious, and he can't do anything. Patel's so-called self-power is only useful in this subcontinent, as long as he leaves A foot in the subcontinent is nothing."
Seeing Alan Wilson nodding, Sir Barron asked, "How is the response to the drought?"
"It depends on the scale of the drought. It's really impossible to estimate. If the drought only affects a place as big as Hyderabad, it's not a big deal. How big is it?" Alan Wilson said nonchalantly~www.wuxiaspot .com~ There is no news from Punjab. Although the local climate is not very good, it has become the most stable food production area in British India. However, if local food is to be used for disaster relief, the peaceful believers there occupy an overwhelming majority. The rest are Sikhs and some problems may arise. "
"That is no problem." Sir Barron breathed a sigh of relief. Whether the problem of the pacifists or the problem of the Sikhs, it was an internal conflict in the subcontinent, as long as it had nothing to do with the British.
In fact, the Governor's Office has always been efficient, depending on what it is facing. In 1876, the Indian famine killed 5.5 million people in the subcontinent. The Governor's Office is not still very efficient, and shipped six to the mainland. 1.4 million tons of wheat?
After the Congress Party and the Muslim League expressed their willingness to go to London, Sir Barron sent the news to the mainland, and Alan Wilson immediately arranged the itinerary to let the two delegations board the ship.
On the contrary, Tubang, who has been treated differently, did not get a chance to participate in the roundtable meeting like before.
This kind of useless opportunity to show your face, even if you don't participate, if you have this skill, it is better to strengthen the strength of the native country, which is more important than anything.
In a month, it is clear at a glance how far the Great Famine will spread. Alan Wilson, who has always been worried about the country and the people, can't sleep at night, and relieved the tension on Vivien Leigh.
Alan Wilson, who was smoking a cigarette after the incident, had an empty head. Vivien Leigh reached out and took half of the cigarette, and took two sips, "What's the matter? Haven't you always been full of confidence?"
"There is no confidence in this kind of thing. It would be good to not be robbed in peacetime." Alan Wilson paused when he said that, in fact, this is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of the fire, especially for Portugal.
