British Civil Servant

"Is it so difficult to transport grain from Africa?" Alan Wilson was very dissatisfied with the inefficiency of the Portuguese colonial government. The colonial government could do nothing in normal times, but it must show efficiency at critical moments, such as when it was suppressed.

There was no news from Goa for a long time, which made him a little irritated, because Portugal is still under the leadership of the central government of Salazar, a country led by a dictator, if it is not even efficient, what is the point of existence? Compete with an inefficient electoral government?

The Portuguese government is also wronged on this point. After all, Africa is not as close as it is on the map, and it has to communicate with the British side. It is at least an understanding to get approval. How can it be so easy for Alan Wilson to pass through his head?

Moreover, selling the interests of British India cannot be done openly. It needs to be similar to the operation at the Munich Conference. There are various reasons. This is not something that can be solved by sending a telegram to let the Portuguese African colonies transport grain.

The only thing that satisfies the Governor's Palace is that, at present, the situation in British India is not as serious as it was during the same period of the Great Bengal Famine. Of course, there is a role for the colonial government in this.

This achievement would not have been possible if it hadn't been for the British administrative officials from all over the country, urging the lower-level Indian officials to go deep into the countryside to publicize the food saving movement and make it popular among the people.

The Governor's Palace also spoke out in praise of the campaign to save food and what Gandhi did. It is said that Gandhi is worthy of being a great man of the century, and this kind of example has never been done by any country.

At the Cricket Ground in the eastern suburbs of New Delhi, Sir Barron was watching the game with great interest. Alan Wilson also arrived shortly after, sitting and watching this boring sport with his boss. He has no interest in this sport, but the key is that the British Indian Commissioner Barron, loves the sport very much.

The game of cricket naturally originated in England, but it is very popular in British India, and many Indians are very fond of the game. Today it is considered a national movement in the subcontinent.

Cricket's lax rules on field size are a result of its rural origins. The game of cricket was originally played in a non-segregated public place called the commons. Due to the different sizes of the villages and the different public places in different villages, the distances from the field boundaries vary.

Since 1928, the Indian cricket team has won several Olympic gold medals in a row, and it is one of the few bright spots for Indians in competitive sports.

"How is the supply of local beef going?" Taking advantage of the break, Sir Barron spoke to Alan Wilson with a teacup, indicating that he, the commissioner, was still working hard.

"It has been completed, and we have unearthed huge potential in the provinces of Mumeng." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "Under the condition of ensuring quality, the task has been exceeded, and there will be absolutely no problems with the local beef supply. ."

Hindus can't eat cows, and pacifists don't have that taboo. However, if Hindus don't eat cows, it doesn't mean they can't use cows for other things, such as exporting.

The so-called love of cows is also said by Hinduism, and I believe it is very irrational. A few decades later, India has long been the top three exporting countries of beef, and it is no different from the famous agricultural and animal husbandry powers of the United States and Australia.

Alan Wilson doesn't believe that the workers in the slaughterhouse are all peace believers? No one loves cows more than Indians...Meat is exported for money.

"That's good, those hilarious Indians." Sir Barron shook his head and smiled. He was in a good mood today, so he didn't criticize the already dire Indians. "As for the self-rescue plan, how is it going?"

"We call on fishermen in the coastal areas to go out to sea and use the gifts of nature to offset the shortage of food. We advocate eating fish to save food and ensure the food supply in the inland. Each province has formulated different self-help plans of different sizes." Ren Wilson replied solemnly, "Under the strict supervision of the Governor's Office and the insignificant efforts of the Congress Party, the Muslim League, I believe that this campaign against the drought will definitely win the final victory."

"It is reassuring news," Sir Barron said with a mild smile. "Although the drought has hit the subcontinent, we have so far managed to control the situation."

"Of course." Alan Wilson kept praising. In fact, this month will be the real test. The next few months will be the real test, but this does not mean that the Governor's Palace has not made efforts to curb the famine.

In fact, this has been the most enthusiastic performance of the Governor's Office in New Delhi among the previous droughts. All administrative means other than disaster relief will be used to promote self-rescue of the subcontinent.

Disaster relief is of great importance. As we all know, the grain depot of the United Provinces has been attacked by anti-British elements. In Punjab Province, which was not affected, the communication between the Muslim League and the Congress Party has not yet come to fruition.

The food supply in the subcontinent is in short supply. As an overseas archipelago, of course, it has to find a way to support the mainland. However, so far, the Andaman Islands are still in good condition, and it seems that they have not been affected by the drought in the subcontinent.

Even the Andaman Islands have provided support to the subcontinent, transporting the few fishing catches to British India, to contribute to the fight against the drought this time, which is heartwarming to think about.

It's just that the Japanese prisoners of war who went to the island and the Japanese traitors who were exiled here as pro-Japanese factions suffered. Compared with these heavy labor based on military bases, there is really not much food distribution that can only survive.

And well, these losers who just want to survive from the Andaman Islands don't know yet, when the Andaman Islands are not swept away, the British on the island will be evacuated and they will be left to fend for themselves.

There are fewer than 1,000 British people on the island, and they live in a concentrated area. It is not difficult to evacuate. The difficulty is left to others, such as the Japanese soldiers who followed Fengwen Yamashita to sweep across Southeast Asia, and the Japanese who were exiled to the island. evil.

The cricket game was over, and an excited Sir Barron walked out of the cricket ground, with Alan Wilson following behind, when he heard his superior say, "Oh yes, listen to Sir Edward, the Cabinet is considering letting General Mountbatten At the same time as the Governor of British India, he also served as the military chief of the Brussels Treaty Organization in Asia, and with his excellent coordination ability, he provided assistance to France and the Netherlands within his capacity."

Alan Wilson was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously. He was sure that this incident had never happened in history. Therefore, there is no reference, and it is impossible to judge what kind of impact it will have. It takes time to deduce it.

First of all, since Sir Barron has received news from the cabinet secretary, even if there is no official appointment, this matter is basically settled. Mountbatten has even taken over the governor of British India, and it is estimated that he does not care about an extra part-time job.

France has returned to Vietnam after receiving the approval of the United Kingdom. In view of the support of the United Kingdom, Truman stated in his talks with Charles de Gaulle that the United States did not oppose France's return to Vietnam, and promised not to create obstacles to France's affairs in Vietnam in the future. Under the promise of the United States, the French Expeditionary Force, which had already been formed, was provided by the United Kingdom and the United States by sea to Vietnam.

In fact, it has been several months since the first French expeditionary force landed in Saigon on British ships. Three months ago, the "Preliminary Agreement" was signed in Hanoi. The agreement stipulates that the French government recognizes the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a free country with its own government, parliament, army and finances, and is part of the French Confederation.

But last month, Georges Pidour, who just became French prime minister, argued that recognizing Vietnam as a dominion would set a dangerous precedent for a French dominion. So France and Vietnam became hostile again.

"What's the matter? Alan!" Sir Barron asked, seeing Alan Wilson's silence. "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking about our French allies, any prime minister who comes to power can change the country's diplomacy. It could have taken a while to get ready to do it." Alan Wilson shook his head. "It's really worrying."

"The most worrying thing is that the largest party in French politics is the French Communist Party." Sir Barron smiled inexplicably. "The French become a country like the Soviet Union, which is even more dangerous than the Soviet Union."

"Especially for the United Kingdom!" Alan Wilson agreed, "It is estimated that an expeditionary force will be organized to land again."

Ha ha! The two burst into laughter at the same time, which could really have happened if the United States and the Soviet Union did not exist.

"So the job of British Malaya ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is to maintain its own stability when the surrounding area is unstable, and see if you can get that much out of the Dutch-French war effort." Sir Barron Speaking of this leak, "Maybe General Mountbatten's new appointment has such a meaning."

"I heard what Sir said, it seems to be the case." Alan Wilson didn't know whether Sir Barron's judgment was right or not. Anyway, it was right to agree first. It is not a bad thing to agree with the boss's idea.

What's more, what Sir Barron said was indeed justified. Alan Wilson also felt that he was inseparable. To maintain contact with the French and Dutch colonial forces, he needed a person who was good at coordination. General Mountbatten was the most suitable candidate.

There is no need for Mountbatten to formulate a battle plan himself. When to fight and how to fight, it is the Dutch and the French's own business.

It seems that Mountbatten seems to be gaining more and more weight when there are slight deviations in history. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Poor Tom, just being played with applause...

Alan Wilson sends a telegram every day, licking Pamela Mountbatten from multiple levels and angles. Candy will only be at ease when you eat it in your stomach. Before that, everything is unknown. The contents of the telegram changed the title to Mrs. Wilson!
