Even Alan Wilson knew that with Hyderabad's geographical location and composition of its inhabitants, it would be almost impossible to withstand an Indian army, but for money's sake, this was by far the most professional army in South Asia.
He is now clearly more attached to Ali Khan's role as dog-headed military adviser than the Hyderabad commissioner in British India. After all, British India's salary is dead, far from the former world's richest man's financial resources to move him.
Although Alan Wilson was a keyboard warrior in his last life, this life only followed the old Wilson's ears to see the logistics, far less than the Bengal famine left a deep impression.
But to these rotten army in South Asia, he still has a say, not to mention that he is the commissioner of Hyderabad, now a close partner of the monarch, for the future of Hyderabad earth state exhaustive. Even if the military power of the British Empire is not known for its land forces.
Hiding the nature of his military illiteracy, Alan Wilson somewhat politically incorrectly made a benchmark with the Axis boss, the army of the Third Reich, stating that a weapon like the tank is currently necessary for the Hyderabad army.
"Europe has caused two world wars in a few decades, among the birth is the idea and tactics, sort of a glimmer of solace for this enormous destructive power, the Hyderabad army must be equipped with enough tanks to be able to deter potential enemies." Allen Wilson spoke with a firm hand, military illiteracy is justified.
What the king of land warfare, infantry-tank synergy words constantly from the inside of the mouth, with the surface of the profound, but actually a masked expression, deterring a number of high caste officers or not a problem. The religion of peace in South Asia is also caste-specific.
"World War has now entered the end of the strength and weakness is obvious, the future of the large number of armaments how to deal with is also a problem. Hyderabad needs these armaments, in fact, quite a few earth states also need the same, even Arijana and Nehru." Alan Wilson said while walking, "But whether for national interest or private reasons, I prefer those armaments to fall into the hands of friendly people."
"The friendship between Hyderabad and the British Empire is proven by one bloody battle after another." Abarakhanan spoke half-public, half-private, "tested by blood and practice."
"I know that, but the London side considers the issue a little more comprehensively, those London politicians, never consider the issue with morality as the focus, in a sense, I, as well as the young aides I brought will actually still make irrational judgments, while those old men will not." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "In short, I am absolutely qualified as a friend and will try to defend Hyderabad's interests."
Mentioned his own importance to Hyderabad, but not exactly a boast, the analysis of the London political figures is not all slander, the British political figures are what it is, look at the example of the reverse of the United States will be clear.
Back to the British settlement, and brought the assistants to talk about the matter, but not all of them agreed, after all, for the status of British India, and not these just out of school assistants are aware of the problem.
"Commissioner Allen, why should we be so attached to a native state?" A woman among the ten aides, one named Alisa, wondered, "And it's not something we can make up our minds about, isn't it better to inform the Delhi side."
Alisa is a year older than Alan Wilson, although not an absolute beauty, but also a rather attractive woman, a long red hair draped over the shoulders, at this time is standing in front of Alan Wilson, fair face is full of confusion.
"Who else is as bewildered as Alice?" Alan Wilson took out a cigarette and lit it, and waved the other hand to solicit opinions.
Four aides raised their hands at once, and Alan Wilson nodded, "Not to hide this from you, is to treat you as one of our own, and to be honest, you and I are in the same position. Many people do not yet know the land under our feet so well, at least not none of you know that now India is fighting for independence whether it is the Congress Party or the PML-N, right?"
"So what? As long as London does not allow it, they can still drive us out?" An aide spoke up in discontent.
"Do you think that after this great war is over, Britain can still have a respite as it did after World War I?" The corner of Allen Wilson's mouth curled slightly, "If we really still have that chance, that is certainly a good thing. But will the Americans and the Soviets give us time?"
This is the disadvantage of bringing a group of college students to the post, if it is with experienced veteran civil servants, as long as a rhetorical question, they will know what is going on, but these students can not.
Alan Wilson had no choice but to return to his old job from his previous life and make an analysis of the world situation today, with the pressure from the U.S. and the Soviet Union outside and Nehru's and Jinnah's outbursts inside. From his mouth, the British Empire is now quite some internal and external problems, even more dangerous than when dealing with the Third Reich attack.
This is how it was, even if the British Empire alone in the face of the Third Reich's attack, with the support of the British colonies, as long as the willingness to go out to repeat the glory of the First World War.
And now facing the pressure of the U.S. and the Soviet Union, plus the various classes within British India now and Britain is not a heart. Want to be tough in order to protect British India, almost impossible thing.
The United States and the Soviet Union how much national power, now how powerful, which is in the colonies these students can see.
Later history also proved this, the British in the matter can not be done under the choice of a soft landing, in batches to let the hands of the colonies independent, and from the most important colony British India, itself is a compromise with the United States and the Soviet Union, indicating that the era of the British Empire dominated the world has passed.
Even if Alan Wilson knew the future trend, there is no ability to change history, that is the United States and the Soviet Union na. Not to give up British India, these two countries how will believe that Britain has really given up world hegemony.
But in the process of soft landing of the British Empire, save some geographically important, easy to control the colonies, do not be independent so clean, Alan thinks it can still be done.
More than 30 million square kilometers of colonies, retain a few hundred thousand square kilometers of land, the idea is not excessive.
And the colonial empire and not just the British Empire itself, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and even Portugal are considered ragged nobility.
