Chapter 4 - What a great official authority

"Adequate knowledge of South Asia." Sir Barron took Alan Wilson's answer sheet and could not stop sighing in his heart, although he was considered an open-book exam, giving Alan Wilson the opportunity to cheat, and probably had this kind of understanding, showing that although Alan Wilson was young, he already had the ability to handle things maturely.

The face still did not change, "the agency in Hyderabad earth state, mainly to communicate with the monarch of Hyderabad, but only about two hundred people, even if the entire Hyderabad's various agencies together, we British less than a thousand people. Although not as important as Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta, it is still a very important place to the monarch, Mir Osman Ali Khan, and must be kept on amicable terms."

"The most important point in maintaining amicable relations, I think, is sincerity, and in this I am ready, Sir Barron." Alan Wilson nodded slightly and spoke, "The local area has its own currency, the monarch controls the railroads, the post office and the army, and Mir Osman Ali Khan's own attitude towards London will currently have an important leading role in over five hundred earth states, and I will certainly be very sincere in my contacts with the right people."

"It's good that you know, I will give you the appointment letter in three days, how is the new recruitment of assistants? I heard that you went to the University of Delhi and recruited all young people?" Sir Barron replied satisfactorily, then the conversation turned and said, "Although I am reluctant to interfere with your work, the arrogance of young people should be put away, the assistants you have recruited should be disciplined, our rule over British India is not all high-handed, but full of flexibility, high-handedness is not the solution, sometimes we have to think in terms of the traditions of South Asia. "

Allen Wilson nodded, how to maintain maximum stability with minimum force, I believe there is no more skilled than Britain.

In British India existed for a certain period of time, the viceroy also tried to break the caste system in India, and later found that did not awaken the support of the lower class people to the British Empire, but let the upper middle class to the British rule formed an impact, and then gave up the idea of caste system open, after instead of encountering unmanageable chaos.

As for the relationship between the two major religions in India's homeland, in the history of British India, the Viceroy of British India more than once repeatedly jumped across, Hinduism, Peace, Sikhism at different times to become the Viceroy of India relied on the power.

As for his present destination, Hyderabad Tuba, it happens to be very much in line with the conditions of British India's partition and rule. Hyderabad is now the largest state in British India, with a maximum area of about the same as the British mainland, and a population of 20 million people, from any point of view, the strength of any province in British India is second to none.

What pleased Alan Wilson even more was that the monarch, Mir Osman Ali Khan, was a pacifist. And eighty percent of the population of the earthen state of Hyderabad, was Hindu. This is the exact opposite of Kashmir, which in later times caused Pakistan and India to fight, and Kashmir is a Hindu monarch, ruling over the majority of the peaceful members of the jurisdiction.

Unfortunately it was the monarch, Mir Osman Ali Khan's Hyderabad Tudor, which was too far from the northwestern part of present-day British India where the pacifists were strong to get popular support of the same faith, and the entire Hyderabad Tudor was in a situation of being surrounded by India, which led to the ultimate failure of Mir Osman Ali Khan's independence plan.

Mir Osman Ali Khan was famous for his wealth and was considered one of the richest men in the world due to his vast possession of jewels and gold. Presumed to be worth two billion dollars of this era! Thus appearing in the American Times.

From the eighteenth century, Ali Khan's family had ruled the Indian state of Hyderabad. Ali Khan was the only Indian who did not live in England but enjoyed the high title of royal kin, mainly because he had donated large sums of money to the British Treasury during the First World War, free of charge.

The new official, Alan Wilson, also later handed over to Sir Barron, the leader of the British Indian civil service, a list of assistants he had selected from the University of Delhi, in effect 100,000 British civil servants controlling a colony the size of British India. There was no problem of institutional bloat.

Even if there was such a problem, it would be the problem of millions of Indian civil servants. So Sir Barron did not have a problem with the ten assistants selected, even if some of these college students who were just still in Delhi University, or had not long graduated, were not qualified, again, not a problem.

The main problem with the audit was that it did not want these young people from Delhi University to have a clear Soviet orientation. This point Sir Barron also did not hide from Alan Wilson, to prevent the expansion of Soviet influence, almost from the Soviet Union has just been established, the Second World War in the British efforts to direct the wrath of Germany to the Soviet Union, and ultimately considered partly successful, did not succeed in that part, by the British Empire itself to bear.

"If you were to know that there is now a latter-day organization called the Cambridge Five on British soil, would you go straight to madness." The corners of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched as he listened to Sir Barron's words, which were the triumph of the Soviet spy agency during the Cold War.

The thoughts in his head is also a flash, now the Cambridge Five movement and his current work is too far, whether later is to promote with the power of the other side, or use each other's lives to add a glowing stroke to his resume, are later, now he must first make achievements in British India, the most important colony almost immediately from Britain.

And because of the importance of British India, Sir Barron felt that he could not be too careful, finally! Nothing was found out. With the appointment letter of the Commissioner of Allen Wilson Hyderabad, everything came to a close.

When ten from the University of Delhi, only just concluded whether it is a pro-Soviet investigation of ten men and women assistants, Al Wilson finally found a hint of being a leader, although these ten assistants, plus himself, are in their twenties, simply as a child's play, but in the context of the World War, it is not so unacceptable.

"The place where we are going to work is Hyderabad Tuba in the middle of the Deccan plateau, and again before I have a little something to explain in advance." Alan Wilson looked at the assistants who could be described with the headquarters of the people, cleared his throat and said in an official tone, "When dealing with the Hyderabad monarch, it is necessary to show courtesy, it is necessary. For the internal affairs of Hyderabad, we can advise, but there must be absolutely no interference."

"That is just a native state, we are representing the British Empire." An aide named Andy muttered softly.

"The monarch of Hyderabad is a distinguished guest in London, and even the Queen will treat him with courtesy when she sees him. The native state is not under the direct jurisdiction of the viceroy's office, and the monarch's authority in the native state cannot be challenged. This is not the same as the provinces within British India." Ellen Wilson spoke faintly, "Unless you think you have more authority than the Queen."

Not yet departed, Alan had already entered the role of commissioner, what a great official authority!
