British Civil Servant

Chapter 20: Colonial Friendship

When it comes to burying mines, the Portuguese are far more reliable than the French. It is not that the French are unreliable, but that Alan Wilson was not sure to fool the French and shed blood for the sake of British India.

If Alan Wilson has a say in India's independence, then the partition of India and Pakistan based on religion, of course, also has a share of Christians. The vast majority of the inhabitants of Portuguese Goa are Catholics.

There can be no equality without regard for the rights of Catholics, but he now has no say in the future of British India, and if there is, he can even speak with the leader of the Muslim League, Ali Zhen, in the case of Goa. Na have a good talk.

He believed that Ali Jinnah was in the minority and didn't mind using the rights of Christians to make Nehru look bad.

Almost at the same time when the Battle of Mandalay began, the Allied troops also launched their offensive on the Western Front on the European battlefield. The Allied offensive on the Rhine River officially began before dawn. The 1,400 Canadian First Army The cannon roared. It was the Eighty-fourth Division of Germany who tasted the taste of the cannonballs.

The Allied commanders on the Western Front believed that once the natural danger on the Rhine River was broken, the resistance forces in Germany would be quickly smashed.

boom! The two wine glasses collided, and Alan Wilson joked with the Junagad Territorial Commissioner John, "We should be grateful that we are safe and sound in this world war, which is a huge loss to all mankind."

"If it weren't for my physical condition, I would have joined the army and fought to the last moment for the British Empire." John swore his position with a glass of wine, and then drank the whiskey in admiration, "But peace is always precious, no Is it?"

"Of course! I absolutely believe that the citizens of the British Empire bravely entered the war." Alan Wilson gave the other party a tacit look, "So Prime Minister Chamberlain is actually fighting for peace, the original intention is understandable, but unfortunately the Prime Minister is facing A lunatic."

This is somewhat politically incorrect, and of course Churchill's resistance would be as affirmed as politically correct after the World War. This is a mistake that no Englishman can make, but the consequence is that Churchill will lose the election immediately, such a small after-effect.

Standing upstairs in the Ali Khan Palace, Alan Wilson put his hands on the fence and looked at the representatives of the native state and the people of Portuguese Goa below. John was also watching this scene next to Alan Wilson and asked, "How come there are people from the Portuguese Governor's Palace? Alan, you should know."

"I know, Salazar is the head of state." Alan Wilson said indifferently to John, "But Portugal did not join any of the camps in the end and maintained its apparent neutrality. In fact, it is now I believe that both Franco and Salazar are ready to stand beside the victors and cheer for the arrival of peace."

"Oh!" John nodded after hearing this, leaned back on the fence and agreed with his back to the hall, "Who said no?"

Ha ha! The two laughed tacitly, and Alan Wilson pointed his mouth downward, "Let's talk to the Portuguese, I believe they will be very willing."

"I agree!" John got up, patted the front of his shirt, and walked down with Alan Wilson. There was a rare liveliness in the whole hall.

The entire city of Hyderabad is also in a joyous atmosphere. It is not that the local residents are particularly happy for the colonists and other representatives of the native states invited by Ali Khan, and they do not give benefits.

But in February and March is the Hindu Holi Festival, which is similar to the Songkran Festival. The festival in India to commemorate Krishna originates from the ancient harvest ritual and is held in February and March every year. During the festival, groups of Hindus, singing and dancing, jumping around the bonfire to celebrate the coming of spring, and splashing water on each other, sprinkle pink or red water on passersby.

Although Ali Khan is a pacifist, he does not treat the residents under his rule because of customs and habits.

The representative of the native state had matters to do with the representative of the native state, and Alan Wilson also had work to be done by the commissioner. He soon invited people from the Governor's Office of Portuguese Goa, found a secluded corner to sit down, and chatted.

In the Royal Palace of Hyderabad, it is not overcrowded, and the guests invited are carefully considered. First of all, small states are not included in the invitation. Don't look at the fact that there are currently more than 500 states in the sub-continent, but few of them can make it to the stage.

Including the state of Hyderabad, a total of 15 states have been recognized as having a certain status, and the rest is just a slightly larger landowner, whose strength and influence are very limited.

The monarch of the Kashmir state was not among the invited, so there were fourteen representatives of the state invited this time. Alan Wilson did not pay attention to the situation in the state for the time being, but was with the governor of Portuguese Goa. Delegates sit together.

Shaking the wine glass in his hand~www.wuxiamtl.com~ opened his mouth in a relaxed tone of admiration. At present, the army of the Allies has entered the Rhine River and will soon be able to completely subdue Germany, while the Junagad State Commissioner John is in Reconcile aside.

"I think the Germans can't hold out for half a year even if they've tried their best. Maybe all the citizens of London have prepared champagne."

If it was an American, I would probably not eat his suit, but it would be different if it were a Portuguese. At all times, the British held steady against the Portuguese. The comparison of strength is so stable!

"The lesson this world war has taught us is that we must completely let the Germans from their hearts and strengths not pose a threat to world peace." John sang next to him, as if the disintegration of Germany was imminent.

The two of them, one with a red face and one with a white face, uttered nonsense in front of the Portuguese representatives. It seemed that the powerful Third Reich was just like the two of them were talking and laughing and let it go to pieces, so that the Portuguese Pedro in front of him didn’t know what to say. An embarrassed smile kept nodding.

"Speaking of this, we must thank Mr. Salazar for being friendly and neutral in the war." Alan Wilson took the word friendly and neutral very seriously, looking straight at the Portuguese representative in front of him.

Who doesn't know that Salazar and Franco are similar in nature to the two leaders of the Axis powers. They have been fluctuating between the Allies and the Axis powers for a long time, and they almost became members of the Axis powers.

Alan Wilson said he was complimenting the Portuguese, rather than sarcasm. Just when Pedro was a little embarrassed, John persuaded appropriately, "In fact, from the perspective of the country, there is nothing. Every country has to think about its own country, isn't it Pedro?"
