It's downright racist! But it has nothing to do with himself. The corner of Allen Wilson's mouth curled slightly, thinking in his heart is not, the rape label that India is world-famous in the latter days, has now vaguely appeared.
Thinking a little farther, after the meeting, the governors and commissioners of the provinces did not leave, but seized the opportunity to socialize, Sir Barron had prepared wine and whiskey, so that these civil servants who had gone to great lengths to get to New Delhi, to unload a weary find a sense of home.
The unprecedented world war was still going on, these stalwarts of the British Indian civil service were carrying out the fine tradition of eating tightly in front and eating tightly at the back, showing the gentlemanliness that the British Empire could not lose at any time.
Alan Wilson, as the Hyderabad Commissioner, had just shown a veteran posture in the senior civil service meeting, and also got the attention of a group of fellow officers. Normally, with such a young face, Allen Wilson would have been ostracized and indifferent, but in British India in 1945, such a special time, this was not the most important thing.
For those who had reached the top of the civil service in British India, they were now more concerned with the question of whether British India existed. Once British India was independent, as some voices in London had said, what would follow was that 100,000 civil service families would return to British soil, and how many would continue to do respectable work? That was a big question!
Compared with this big event, Alan Wilson's sudden becoming Hyderabad commissioner is no longer a matter of importance. Can only be regarded as a small thing in the process of huge changes.
"To be honest, Arijana and Nehru should not be looking for trouble at this time." Burke, a senior Bengali official, was optimistic about the Congress Party and PML-N supporting the war.
This statement was made, many high-ranking commissioners nodded their heads, in recent years, although the Congress Party and the PML-N out of things are getting bigger and bigger, but basically the British Indian Governor General's Office and they, the civil service system, still control the situation. Nehru and Ari Jinnah find each other a little more trouble instead.
"I also agree with Burke's idea that not cooperating with us at this time will only give us the opportunity to clean up after them, and the disgust between the two parties, the Congress and the PML-N, is still above us." The United Provinces senior officials do not even think about nodding, treating these two major forces, Britain's long political experience played a role, and is the British Empire's best at doing things, divide and rule, that's how everyone does it in Europe.
The more at this time, the NCP and PML, do not want the Governorate and Colonial Department, on the other side of the hostile to their own, thus creating the idea of suffering, not daring to appear tough attitude.
"Fairness and justice will be passed down from generation to generation, and this is the finest tradition of the British Empire." Burke suddenly raised his glass to Alan Wilson and said, "For Alan so young, already have this understanding, I feel happy for old Wilson."
"Thank you." Alan Wilson likewise raised his glass, in fact the relationship between the two sides was not distant, after arriving in India the old Wilson worked in Calcutta, which is the center of Bengal province.
Although there is a Bengal famine such a small flaw, but if you seriously get to the bottom of it, the credit for this old Wilson certainly can not be swallowed alone, how to say also have a share of Burke.
The precious friendship formed from the Bengal famine process, so that today Burke, a senior official of the Bengal province, stepped in at a critical moment, accepted Alan Wilson, also said these senior civil servants of British India, officially accepted the candidate for Hyderabad Commissioner.
Come late than not good, even according to history, British India will at least also exist for more than two years, this time we can completely stuff the banknotes thick suitcase, and then return to the country in style, besides, in case British India can still continue to exist it? Fantasy still can not?
But the most important thing to Alan Wilson now, is still the Hyderabad monarch dogged duties, as an honest man, he would never deny that he is now more attached to the relationship with Ali Khan, is more than to the work of British India, he still have to talk to the Junagadh Tupaj Commissioner.
For Sir Barron, he still had to continue to communicate with the Congress Party and the PML-N, hoping to get the support of the two largest local forces in British India when victory was already within reach.
Such occasions would be entirely a matter of communication between Sir Barron and the native Indian forces, with the governor commissioners of the provinces settling their private affairs in New Delhi, and Alan Wilson treating this return to New Delhi as a vacation, chatting and hanging out with John.
"What good servants the Indians are, I wonder what the final opinion is on the London side." Although not very old, but Alan Wilson opened his mouth is the old imperialism, the two people relaxed stroll, and finally stopped in front of a stall, looking at the feet of the leather shoes above some dust, he sat directly in front of the shoe-shiner, seize the time in the future capital of India, enjoy a little imperialist treatment.
John saw also follow suit, sat down to solve the employment problem of the Indian people, two British gentlemen, in the colonial land, as if no one had a chat.
"Whatever the final outcome, we can never go back empty-handed. In fact, it is good that we are working in Tupang. The local maharajahs are skeptical of the NCP and PMLN and need our support at this time. We can also use this support to solve our own problems."
Looking at the shiny leather shoes quite satisfactorily, Alan Wilson took out the rupee in his hand as a reward to the shoe-shiner with a humble smile and thought to himself, "How did he come to the time of the decline of the British Empire? What bad luck! The good times are not long in coming.
Can not bash Alan Wilson himself backward thinking, if a person can be clothed and fed, who would go to the hard work of choosing to struggle?
"Ali Khan wants to facilitate some kind of earth state alliance, if this thing is done, you and I will get generous thanks." Allen Wilson lowered his voice and said, "I believe John you also know Junagadh, the status of these earth states, than the larger area of Kashmir, Junagadh earth state in the west coast, not far from Mumbai, such a good location than the remote Kashmir much better. Not a small area geographically okay, Mr. Ali Khan very much hope that in the face of the Congress Party and the PML-N, there is Junagadh Tuba help."
John reached out and rubbed the stubble that had just grown on his chin and said without moving, "It's time to think about what kind of way out we can get with the power in our hands."
"Ali Khan was the richest man in the world a few years ago." Ellen Wilson double entendre, this matter has something to talk about.
Just a few words, the two earth state commissioners have made a consensus on the sacking of India's wealth, to an unprecedented theft.
Can not say so, the matter between the earth state commissioners, can not be described as theft, this is all part of the work, the two have the right to work for the benefit of the earth state and the British Empire good relations.
