Just back from New Delhi, the commissioner made the monarch of Hyderabad very comforting, Ali Khan said with a sigh of relief, "These Congress Party supporters are too much, not to mention, what is the news from New Delhi now."
"A counter-attack on Burma and the launching of the Battle of Mandalay." Allen Wilson replied succinctly, "Bringing peace back to Burma with the cooperation of the Allies, which certainly cannot be done under false pretenses."
Not that he was deliberately downplaying the role of other Allied forces; the main force in recovering Burma was the British. Even if the Americans pull the strings, they cannot change the contrast of strength, the main force that annihilated the Japanese in Burma was originally the British Expeditionary Force.
"Oh yes, I met with the commissioner of Junagadh Tupang and have talked with each other to find a time when we can talk in private about the future of India as a whole." Allen Wilson put the war in Burma a pass, and do not have to fight for themselves on the front line, he now has more important things to do, such as the Turkish state alliance.
Ali Khan's eyes lit up, which is what he is most concerned about at the moment, especially after this disturbance by the supporters of the Congress Party, and could not help but thank him, "Although Commissioner Allen is young, he is always able to show sincerity in his work. I want to give you a small gift."
Ali Khan quickly returned to his room, and then pinched an antique ring in his hand, with rubies on it. British India has the title of the crown jewel of the British Empire, which is actually literal.
India itself is famous for producing gems, and before the discovery of diamonds in South Africa and Brazil, it was India that was the world's source and processing site for gems in the agricultural era.
"How is that nice?" Alan Wilson seemed embarrassed to excuses, but his hand was not slow to take Ali Khan's ruby ring directly, admiring, "I see the ancient history and splendid culture from it."
Like Sir Barun, he, the Hyderabad commissioner, became a well-known appraiser and said with false affection, "Actually, from the point of view of friendship, I shouldn't accept such an expensive gift."
"It's just a souvenir, it's not really valuable." Ali Khan's plaintive tone reminded the other party that he could once be the richest man in the world, just that it was not easy to see it from the outside.
"Since it's a souvenir, I'll be polite." Alan Wilson accepted it with dignity and narrowed his eyes, "I'm in touch with John, and it would be best to facilitate communication with Junagadh's native state in the near future."
"That would be best, naturally." Ali Khan nodded indifferently, this is much more important than a ruby ring.
More than five hundred earth states all play, this Alan Wilson did not think, but several big earth state alliance, but can be a try, back to the commissioner apartment, he let Andy to contact Junagadh earth state commissioner John. As well as inviting the representatives of Mysore and Travancore native states.
In this way, when leaving Ali Khan's palace, he, the Hyderabad commissioner, was given another Bengal tiger skin, and Ali Khan's treasurer said that the Deccan plateau was not warmer than New Delhi and that care should be taken to keep warm.
This point Alan Wilson did not find, he just came when it is indeed quite cold, but now has almost entered the dry season, of course, he still smiled and accepted Ali Khan's gift, people sincerely help the commissioner to solve the problem of life, he can not turn away from people right? This is related to the harmonious relationship between the British Empire and Hyderabad, can not be rash.
Back at the commissioner's apartment, Alan Wilson prepared food while instructing his assistants on their tasks. Out of distrust of Indian sanitary conditions, he had developed the habit of cooking his own food after coming to India.
Britain itself is known worldwide for its dark cuisine, and these assistants who came with him soon found themselves with the opportunity for extra benefits, praising the food prepared by the commissioner.
Alan Wilson, who had a tradition of eating tightly in front and eating tightly at the back, also brought out whiskey brought back from New Delhi as a garnish for dinner, which left the aides unable to say anything.
Originally, according to the provisions of the British domestic law, like Allen Wilson regardless of the day and night, think up what makes the aides busy superiors, is certainly not welcome, only other aspects of the convenience diluted this dissatisfaction.
"We contact these larger earth states, almost all of them in South India." Alisa reached up and ruffled the ends of her hair, confused, "Even ten of us travel to get things done."
"The native states of North India are weak, surrounded by the provinces of British India, and of very limited use." Allen Wilson took out a handkerchief to the five female assistants in front of one, put the last handkerchief in front of Alisa instructed in a soft voice, "In fact, there is a guest who wants to invite."
"Commissioner, where are we people?" Andy pointed to himself, looking around, how the male assistant even people?
"I'm a macho man who thinks that men are not to be taken care of and should be able to get their own affairs in order." Alan Wilson did not reply a good-natured, and immediately turned back to the subject, "which of you recently have time, go to the Portuguese Goa trip, say that this is a private party, we do not expect to talk out what, is an ordinary intercourse."
In fact, when you turn to the 1945 map of South Asia, throughout the subcontinent, in addition to British India, there existed French India and Portuguese India, French India being a few urban strongholds. Most of the colonies in Portuguese India were also strongholds in nature, but Goa could be considered a colony.
In the process of colonial independence, Britain and France had different strategies, France was far more difficult than Britain and took a repressive stance against colonial independence movements, but with different intensity. The French were far more difficult to deal with than the British, taking a suppressive stance against the colonies, but with different intensity.
It was mainly French Africa to which it devoted a great deal of effort, especially in North Africa, where it was uncompromising. So French India, after India declared independence, France declared the cities belonging to the stronghold as undefended cities, handed over to Nehru.
In the eyes of Allen Wilson, France and Britain are an ass of shit, facing the vast colonies, both need to make focused considerations, some trade-offs. So here in the subcontinent, the French can not be counted on.
If the initiative to France, the British Empire's long tradition of teammates, the French most likely will not fall for it.
But the Portuguese are different, Goa fell into the hands of the Portuguese when British India did not exist yet. After India's formal independence, it demanded that the sovereignty of Portuguese India be transferred to India, but even though the International Court of Justice and the United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of India in this regard, Portugal did not agree.
