It was only now that Sir Barron felt in his mind how important it was to promote his juniors and to add fresh blood to the British Empire's civil service, for the sake of political stability.
Alan Wilson, on the other hand, had his own understanding that British India was the crown jewel of the Empire in every way. More important than what Canada, Australia, and even earlier the thirteen states of North America, and even all other British colonies.
As for any of the colonies under the jurisdiction of the present, from any point of view can not be compared with British India, is completely the loss of British India, the British self-congratulation.
This is so because British India was extremely large, even relying on its own area, resources and population advantages, the total economic volume and important economic indicators also exceeded the modernized Japan, is the first in Asia, more far better than other imperial entities.
During World War I, meanwhile, the British-Indian government's revenue was one billion rupees, or about 100 million pounds, roughly half of that of the British mainland, and essentially equal to that of the Japanese government, and far more than entities such as Canada and Australia and South Africa.
This is still taking into account the Anglo-German naval race, the result of the native British gritting their teeth to raise taxes, if the peacetime, British India's revenue, but also an integral part of the British Empire.
This led to the fact that the status of British India is extremely important, in addition to Napoleon's brief time, Britain was under the European effort, in almost all the time in the nineteenth century, Britain is for the security of British India to develop policies, whether it is an attack on Burma or north to Afghanistan is for this purpose.
If it is not 1945 now, Alan Wilson has reason to believe that the British civil servants on the mainland are definitely going out of their way to work across the ocean to India, where after all, it is a colony, do not have to endure the various checks and balances of the British mainland, working in the colonies can enjoy the treatment of the people.
So Sir Barron did give Alan Wilson great convenience, if backwards a few decades, and can even say that directly let him a step to heaven, less 20 years of struggle.
But now it is different again, Alan Wilson understands that British India, the crown jewel of the Empire, is about to leave the control of the British Empire, and now he must use the little time left to accumulate as much seniority and wealth as possible, which is not easy.
For the position of Hyderabad, he was ready to accept without a word, that although it was a native state, belonging to the zone of indirect British rule, but also has very great advantages in it. Take for example the monarch of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan.
This man's popularity was worldwide, as he was evaluated as the richest man in the world by the United States in 1937. Hyderabad would be a starting point for Alan Wilson's future career, and he wanted it to go smoothly.
Alan Wilson left the governor's house, because Sir Barron had explained that he could let him recruit a few assistants himself, and the work was always easier with the help of trustworthy people.
Before leaving, Allen Wilson also took a file bag, listening to Sir Barron said, which is the British Indian civil service assessment questions, which can not help but let Weilen Wilson sigh, in the end, still can not avoid the examination?
But then he was in a relaxed mood, this has been much smoother than previously thought, to get the position of Hyderabad Commissioner, is already considered an extra joy, can no longer ask for too much.
I took the bus home and opened the paper, in fact, I can already see from the paper some, the current real environment of British India. For the PML-N and the NCP, as well as the relationship between the British Indian provinces and the Turkish state, are all issues that need to be resolved by the Governor General's Office at present.
On the other hand, on the other side, Sir Barron was working to convince Governor Wavell about the Hyderabad Commissioner.
"A child who can be described as a genius, if not for the outbreak of war, might have been the youngest person to enter Oxford in recent years, but still a little too young." Governor Wavell frowned and asked rhetorically, "Is it not too smooth a start to make him a Hyderabad commissioner."
"On the contrary, Mr. Governor, the Hyderabad Commissioner is more appropriate. The monarch of Hyderabad is a guest of honor in London, and according to the agreement between us and the native states, the forces placed in Hyderabad cannot be too many, and we cannot do it now, for British India is already busy enough with 100,000 civil servants. Like Hyderabad power so strong earth state, we need to maintain the status of the commissioner, at the same time can not go over too much, one-sided interference will also make the monarch of Hyderabad dissatisfied, so Alan went just right." Sir Barron spontaneous opening, around and around, just want to make a point, Alan Wilson to do Hyderabad's commissioner is the most suitable, not to do second choice.
The direction of the war has been very obvious, the Axis group has been the end of the road, but from the standpoint of British India, the future direction is still unknown, the future of British India in the end is to continue under British rule, or directly independent.
Governor Wavell and Lord Barron, of course, understood that the distant London was also arguing fiercely over the issue of British India, a matter that had to be borne in mind not only by the Soviet Union, but also by another comrade in arms, the United States, which was even more dangerous, in a way, than the Soviet Union.
For the 100,000 civil servants in British India, the future was still uncertain, and even Governor Wavell and Lord Barron, the governor of British India and the head of the civil service in British India, could not guarantee a say in the matter.
Under this uncertainty, Sir Barron himself could not see the future, and the small unreasonable arrangement was no longer a big deal.
Late in the night, Alan Wilson was still answering questions, and among the last papers Sir Barron asked about the supporters of the rule of British India, and after a long reflection, he wrote, "the untouchable class, and the monarchs of more than five hundred native states, while the Congress Party and the PML-N were the two opponents, and Nehru and Ari Jinnah were merely different in means. "
"The Congress Party, represented by Nehru, wanted to take over all the rights of British India as a whole, while the PML-N, headed by Ari Jinnah, did not want to live in the same country with the Hindus, and the two were much the same for the government of British India, but different for the pacifists and Hindus from each other, and this was a conflict between the PML-N and the Congress Party. "
"It is the untouchables who have certain rights under British India, and as for the monarchs of the five hundred or so native states, they are happy to maintain their present position, and on the contrary are suspicious of both the Congress Party and the PMLN. For the state of Hyderabad, to which I am about to go, my mission, on the other hand, is to make the Hyderabadi monarchs, the support of British India."
"Mir Osman Ali Khan, who has the most powerful power among the many Indian native states, and who is also a pacifist, a minority in the whole of India, even in the Hyderabad native state, believes that Mir Osman Ali Khan is very willing to maintain amicable relations with London."
Who is an enemy and who is a friend is never a very important question.
