British Civil Servant

Chapter 26: tune away

"Actually, I can understand the protest from the Congress party, but out of the responsibility of the Commissioner of Hyderabad and the respect of the monarch Ali Khan, I cannot stop the enthusiasm of the Hyderabad side for this gathering, and I did not stop it at all. reason."

This one-on-one meeting was actually beyond Alan Wilson's expectations, but he quickly cleared his responsibility according to the previous explanation, but General Mountbatten's face was playful, with a half-smiling expression, worthy of It is Daying Long Aotian. With such a calm look, Alan Wilson unconsciously closed his mouth.

"I've heard this kind of thing more times than you said." Reaching out and poking out his ears, General Mountbatten commented with some amusing, "Look at you civil servants, saying things that no one can understand every day. , I also think I'm very smart, but what's the truth?

Mountbatten's sculpted face was full of immunity from dialogue, and then he turned the conversation and said to himself, "It's just that I didn't expect that you brought your connections to my daughter, which is very surprising. Let's be honest, I don't know and don't want to know what your purpose is, but now at a critical moment when victory is in sight, there must be no problem with British India, and if there is a problem, the victory may be delayed by a day."

For General Mountbatten, the most important thing right now is to win the World War. Compared with Europe, where news of victory has been heard at any time, things on the Asian side are not particularly clear.

In General Mountbatten's mind, the result of victory is naturally the same as Germany. The Allies invaded the Japanese mainland and liquidated the entire country of Japan to ensure that this country would not become a threat in the future.

Seeing Mountbatten's immunity to words, Alan Wilson was a little dumbfounded. Thinking about it, the other party came from such a high background. He grew up with praise from a young age, and all the people he came into contact with were dignitaries. Moreover, Mountbatten has always been famous for his communication. He solved the problem of cooperation between British troops and other allied troops when he first came to India. It is definitely not useless as people think.

"To be honest I would like to make concessions to Nehru on this matter, of course I have learned from Sir Barron's mouth that the Congress party is not very **** your matters, but I will still do it." Mountbatten held his head in one hand and said flatly, "The reason is like what I just said, I don't want any negative factors before the victory is coming."

When Alan Wilson heard this, was he going to be killed as an example? He couldn't help but explain when his face changed.

"I've decided to transfer you from British India!" General Mountbatten said to himself, "This is not out of selfishness, and it has nothing to do with Pamela. It's just a temporary transfer."

"Temporary transfer?" Alan Wilson muttered, not quite understanding what Mountbatten meant.

"On the surface, it is acceptable to the Congress Party!" General Mountbatten explained, "The situation in Europe is very good now, the Allies have broken through the Rhine defense line, and Berlin is close at hand. This is not counting the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front. In fact, the joy of victory can come at any time. The moment when the war is over is the most chaotic time. Let me explain a little more here, this is not a punishment for you, it is just to temporarily leave British India and wait for you to come back. You can do things more maturely.”

Alan Wilson looked at Mountbatten's expression impolitely, but immediately realized that he shouldn't do it. But it seems that the other party has no reason to deceive himself.

"My relationship with Winston is pretty good. I can write a letter of recommendation for you. Which department do you like the working atmosphere of?" Mountbatten said this, and asked in a consultative tone.

Mountbatten did not lie at all. He has a very good relationship with the current Prime Minister Churchill. This is only part of the truth, the whole truth is that he has good relations with all the senior officials of the Allies he has contacted with, with few exceptions.

At this time, Alan Wilson woke up like a dream, and some departments quickly went through it in their minds, and said uncertainly, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It's somewhat similar to your current job, but I think the most suitable one for you is the Colonial Department." General Mountbatten shook his head after thinking for a while, "Of course, the current European war is the most important thing. During this process, you You can get a lot of experience. In this way, the British Indian Minister Leo Emery and I have a good relationship. I asked him to recommend you to serve in the Colonial Department, but temporarily seconded in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and waited in Europe. Once the Asian battlefield Japan insisted not to. Stay, I'm asking you to come back."

Europe? US-Soviet confrontation front? Berlin Wall? Thinking of this, Alan Wilson sighed that this is indeed a good place.

From the day Germany surrendered, the wonderful history entered another stage.

"You don't want to go?" General Mountbatten tilted his head and said arrogantly, "This is an opportunity."

"I, of course! I am very willing to meet even bigger challenges." Alan Wilson opened his mouth, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, "I don't know when I will leave."

"Give you a few days to deal with things. I heard that you have a good relationship with Ali Khan, which is worthy of appreciation. You can spend the rest of the time saying goodbye to your friends." Mountbatten felt relieved for some reason. tone.

Up to now, Alan Wilson still thinks in his heart that this big hero is just an excuse to get out of British India, until he stupefied and took two handwritten letters from Mountbatten, one for the Prime Minister. Churchill and Indian Colonial Secretary Leo Emory.

"You go to Sir Barron to arrange your itinerary to Europe. These two letters must be collected. UU reading www.uukanshu.com only has free time left to do your business." General Mountbatten held his own Handwritten channel, "You also saw the content of the letter just now, you can rest assured now."

At least on the surface, Alan Wilson really got out of India in front of the Congress Party. This is an account given to the Congress Party by the Governor-General of British India.

"What a surprise." Sir Barron shook his head slightly. "Actually, I could have ignored the protests of the Congress Party, but with these two letters, maybe it's really a good thing."

"Does Sir Barron think so?" Hearing what the chief of the British Indian civil servants said, Alan Wilson suddenly became optimistic, and he also felt that it was not a bad thing.

"I didn't say anything, good things and bad things are always the same thing." Sir Barron pondered for a while, "at least these few days you are free, forget all your troubles, take a good rest, and then go to Bombay to sit Ship, there is no danger on the sea now."

Leaving Sir Barron's place, Alan Wilson rushed to the next occasion.

"Did my father transfer you away?" Pamela Mountbatten whispered angrily, "Why is he like this? He takes those Indians too seriously, I'll go find him."

"It's not a bad thing, is it?" Alan Wilson shrugged and grabbed the corner of Pamela Mountbatten's shirt, "If possible, pay more attention to Hyderabad, some of my assistants are still doing well. good."

"You seem happy about leaving British India?" Pamela Mountbatten asked suspiciously.

"I'm heartbroken, and I'll be working on it when I get back." Alan Wilson pursed his lower lip and blew the hair on his forehead, "It's a good thing to go back to London, I just finished writing my dissertation. ."
