So this is the reason he was called in, Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and whispered, "I'm just delivering a document."
"Am I good at deceiving?" Not looking out for Allen Wilson's approving gaze, Mountbatten said smugly, "If you weren't harboring ideas, why did you spend an afternoon at my villa and specifically go when no one else was there?"
You deserved to be blown up by the Irish! Alan Wilson almost blurted out, the words came out of his mouth to explain, "I didn't know the commander-in-chief was there either, and as for where the lady went, even less, just happened to see Pamela."
"At that time, my assistant was very busy not in the Governor's residence, I asked Alan to send over." The key moment, or historical and cultural connoisseur Sir Barron spoke, "Alan's age is not very old, so do things especially careful, see you are not in the villa and wait for you to return, which is also very normal."
"Very sensible and reasonable, but then again!" Mountbatten took a look at Alan Wilson said, "the file is only twenty-one years old, already do Hyderabad Commissioner, is considered very rare."
Born with the golden key, Mountbatten did not have any special emotions, is simply sigh, immediately forget about this matter, and began to ask about the Yalta Conference, and finally said, "From the current progress, the war in Europe should end earlier than the Asian side."
"So we should recover as many colonies as possible as soon as possible, so as to show the authority of the British Empire in front of the countries of the world." Governor Wavell said as he thought, "The war in Burma will have the full support of British India."
These words Allen Wilson did not listen to, he is now quickly back to Hyderabad, Junagadh earth state commissioners have left New Delhi, planning among the earth state alliance is the real serious business.
"Oh, Alan, when are you going back?" Sir Barron inquired as if he had just remembered.
"Sir Barron, I can't wait to get back to work." Alan Wilson looked like a fist pump, this office is really not for him, like an outsider, listening to the big man feel good about himself.
"Indeed you are needed there in Hyderabad as well." Sir Barron nodded and gestured, knowing that Alan Wilson had stayed in this office long enough to give Alan Wilson the step to leave.
Before he left the office, he could hear Mountbatten rambling, "My daughter is still a little too early for her age."
"That narcissist." After closing the door behind him, the corners of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched and he walked out of the Governor General's residence with his hands in his pockets.
The first problem in front of British India at present is the upcoming battle of Mandalay, which is also the most immediate concern of Mountbatten, as the commander of the Southeast Asian theater of war, the great merit of recovering Burma, he did not want to fall into the hands of others, glory all to himself.
For this reason, Mountbatten on the British-Indian Corps command level was adjusted, General Giffard was dismissed by Mountbatten, replaced by Lieutenant General Lees. This Lees is also a war hero, in the North African and Italian theater was Montgomery's Eighth Army Thirtieth Army commander, after Montgomery left Italy, Lees is the man who then became the commander of the Eighth Army. The man who cooperated with him was General Slim who commanded the Battle of Imphal.
Slim also had his own unique ideas for the dry season offensive. Previously, he had only one famous victory, Imphal, and because of the nature of the defensive battle of Imphal, he was more or less seen by London as a cautious and steady commander. In fact, Slim's strategic objective had always been one: to strike at the main body of Japanese field forces, without caring about land or famous towns gained or lost.
Adjusting the relationship between the British Expeditionary Force coming from the North African theater, and the local British forces, was Mountbatten's greatest concern at the moment, more taxing than protecting his daughter.
The anticipated battle of Mandalay, the British Indian Corps was up against the main force of the Japanese Burma Front, the Japanese Fifteenth Army. Logistical supplies and redeployment, already supported by British India up and down the country, were now the moment of shame.
On this mountain rain in the atmosphere, the Commissioner of Hyderabad, who had gone out of his way to leave New Delhi, a few days later had arrived in Hyderabad city, the nasal cavity was again filled with the familiar taste of India, see the untouchables everywhere, the ascetics, Allen Wilson was very pleased, happiness is not the contrast out of it?
First and his own assistants, talked about the spirit of the New Delhi meeting, then it was to ask whether the situation in Hyderabad recently smooth, "there was a riot, Ali Khan's army has put them down, less than a thousand people died."
"That's not much, no need to think it must be also the protest of the Hindus." Allen Wilson nodded knowingly and asked, "What is the reason?"
Not Allen Wilson particularly heartless, just this itself is the daily life of British India, has been daily to the point of not too noteworthy, such a large place, which day does not die a few hundred or thousands of people, how common a thing.
"It seems that the grassroots organization established by the Congress Party in Hyderabad, in a festival of some kind, caused the discontent of the army of the Turkish state, the two sides have clashed." Alice reported along with Andy's words, "We have reported it to New Delhi."
"New Delhi is busy with the counter-attack on Burma, do not add trouble for the busy Governor General's Office. It's not a big deal in itself! Our job is to establish rapprochement with Ali Khan." Allen Wilson frowned and said slowly, "The marches and armed fights and all that are the Indians' own business, not ours."
That said, it is nevertheless something worth noting that the Congress Party has established a grassroots presence in Hyderabad. To sum it up in a phrase, it is called rooted in the grassroots. I didn't expect the Congress party to be quite strong in this era. It is far from the rotten look of the latter days.
For Nehru he never underestimate, than the latter days will only incite the nation, using Hindu nationalism to shout slogans of the old fairy is much more powerful, "go to check the development of the Congress Party in the cities of South India, in the end how much energy in the places of these native states, how do Indians think of the Congress Party?"
Ordered his assistant to do the job, Alan Wilson went straight to the door, looking for Ali Khan to talk, to the noble maharaja encountered unruly people rebellion to give comfort, "in fact, the people are so irrational, think about it, the entire Hyderabad railroads, schools are established by you, but they are not the least bit grateful, but always want to greedily ask for more."
As soon as he spoke, he exposed his ass problem. Alan Wilson, since the beginning of his arrival in this era, quickly settled into the role of a colonist, throwing the bullshit of equality for all to the wind. With practical action to prove that we do not hate the colonists, hate the colonists are not us.
