British Civil Servant

Chapter 227: Two-pronged approach

Although thanks to Alan Wilson, the current British India may be in worse condition than the historical British India.

But there is a saying how to say, there are difficulties to go up, and there are no difficulties to create difficulties, but also to go up.

The more difficult the time, the more we must exert our subjective initiative, tap our internal potential, and work together to fight natural disasters.

Even if it is difficult to go to the front line in person, what is it difficult to act like, if you really can't do it, then you will start a pen. When you make a decision, there will naturally be someone below to solve the problem. If it can't be solved, it can only be said that Indian civil servants are incompetent, and British civil servants have given An impeccable and perfect plan, the Indians had a problem executing.

In discussions with the provincial chief executives, a complete drought relief plan was finally presented. This scheme reflects the excellent quality of civil servants in the British Empire.

The Governor's Office of British India, as well as the chief executives of the provinces, attach great importance to the severe drought that occurred in some parts of British India, and pay close attention to the development of the disaster and its impact on production and life.

It is necessary to intensify efforts to combat drought, take it as an important task to protect people's livelihood and promote development, and all relevant departments should further strengthen the guidance and support of drought resistance.

It is necessary to insist on ensuring the safety of drinking water for the masses in the first place, make overall plans for drought-fighting water sources and water needs, scientifically dispatch water conservancy projects, and minimize the impact and loss of drought.

It is necessary to put the problem of drinking water for the masses in the first place in the work of drought relief and disaster relief, find ways to transport water for the masses, find water and dig wells, help local governments to speed up the construction of emergency water source projects, and alleviate the difficulty of drinking water for people and animals as soon as possible.

According to the needs of production in the current season, it is necessary to actively support local emergency repair of water conservancy, dredging of rivers, and irrigation of farmland.

It is absolutely impeccable in terms of word choice and sentence construction. If it is anyone else, there is no fault in this plan. The only problem may be that Indians who don't know one big character may not even know if this thing exists.

Of course, that is the matter of the Indians themselves. In terms of attitude, the Governor's Office has shown great determination.

However, there are always accidents in life. If there is an accident, it can only be said that this may be life, and sometimes such things will happen.

"By the way, gentlemen, I would like to remind you of some things through personal friendship. It is best not to keep the Indian currency in your hand, and exchange it for British pounds or gold. In the event of a natural disaster, the value of the rupee may not be stable. . Gold is more reassuring at a critical moment.”

After the trivia about fighting the drought, Alan Wilson expressed his concern for the legal possessions of many gentlemen.

In the hands of these Indian chief executives, there must be Indian currency, it is just a matter of more or less.

Not to mention that Alan Wilson hasn't dried up the money printing machine yet, and the Indian rupee is usually not a stable currency.

In the face of a possible drought, this kind of worthless currency cannot be kept. It is very likely that a little disturbance will cause losses to the legitimate properties of many gentlemen.

"That's right, we really can't keep rupees anymore. We can exchange these rupees for gold. It's convenient to leave then." Andrew, the chief executive of Bangladesh Province, agrees with this reminder very much.

Civil servants in British India reached a consensus on this matter in a tenth of the time it took to talk about the drought.

"When the time comes, we will contact by telegram and carry out unified operations. We work in British India, and we have to follow the customs of the countryside. This is not too difficult." Alan Wilson reminded the problem of gold, and then began to talk about the drought, "It is necessary When the time comes, grab some dirt and wipe your face, lie down in front of a large crowd, and fall into a coma on the front line of the drought.

"The main reason is that we haven't done it before, although it's not difficult." Burke, the chief executive of the United Province, said with a wry smile, "When have we ever done such a thing, it's not a gentleman at all."

"This year, everyone's hard work has been more practical than many years ago. It's not a shameful thing to make money, right?" Seeing many people nodding, Alan Wilson followed suit. "Everyone still wants to continue to serve the British Empire. If this drought is not controlled, our promotion... There may be twists and turns in the process of serving the Empire. In the final analysis, it is for ourselves."

You can only catch big fish by putting a long line. You can’t always think about a one-shot deal, and then you can build an apartment when you return to China. That would be very short-sighted.

For example, the chief executive of the Central Province, whose hair is already gray and can't see people clearly without glasses, is only fifty-nine years old. For a civil servant, it is the age of prosperous and powerful, and he can continue to serve Great Britain in other colonies. Twenty years of imperial service.

"When the time comes, everyone will contact by telegram, and don't act alone." As the meeting came to an end, Alan Wilson relaxed again, "Maybe the situation is not as serious as we imagined, but if there is an undesired result, collective action is always The more people there are, the more powerful we are, so we will have a few of our enemies and a lot of our friends.”

The standard of drought depends on how you look at it. British India is currently in a state of relying on the sky.

To put it simply, there are natural disasters every year. If you don’t believe me, you can read the records of Chinese history. There are floods and droughts every year, but it’s just a matter of size.

British India is in this state, but sometimes the level of natural disasters does not reach an alarming number of deaths. This can be regarded as a good year this year, and it does not mean that no one really starved to death.

If there are not many people dying of starvation, Indians are used to it. After all, it has been this way for thousands of years.

At the end of the meeting, Alan Wilson remembered another thing, slapped his head and said with some annoyance, "Look at my head, if there is really an uncontrollable situation, try to figure out how to do it numerically. Four A few years ago, the Governor's Office calculated that the population of British India was 160 million. There is still a lot of room for us. As long as there are no major problems in the books, no one can accuse us."

In 1941, the population of British India was 160 million. From the point of view of the authenticity of this figure, it cannot be faked. After India's independence, the population of its own statistics was close to 400 million, and the error almost doubled.

Even if there is a real drought, no one will see any flaws in the books, because the population statistics of British India are all fake.

On this side, British India is holding an emergency meeting on the possible problems of the drought.

In London, thousands of miles away, the issue of British India was also being discussed. Edward Bridges was very honest and explained the possible difficulties to Prime Minister Attlee.

"The problem is very big, but the mainland has no strength to help British India." Prime Minister Attlee looked embarrassed, showing the embarrassment that the landlord's family had no surplus food.

"Respected Prime Minister, British Indian civil servants have always been synonymous with integrity and efficiency. The appeal this time is not for help, but for the mainland to help the subcontinent from another level." Edward Bridges listened to Prime Minister Attlee's expression. It is very embarrassing, but if the tone is firm, it directly means that you have misunderstood the Prime Minister.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Attlee, who had always called himself a true socialist, heard that he was not asking for help, so he asked Edward Bridges to continue speaking, showing the consistent position of the British Empire, willing to provide all support except help.

"Natural disasters can be overcome, the key is violence." Edward Bridges said sternly, "If it weren't for the struggle between the Congress Party and the Muslim League, which involved the energy of British Indian civil servants, there would be many disasters. It’s all preventable and controllable, like the Great Bengal Famine.”

"Is that so?" Prime Minister Attlee's eyes were filled with suspicion. Even the great famine in Bangladesh can be prevented and controlled?

"Of course this is the case. When the Great Bengal Famine broke out, the struggle between the Muslim League and the Congress Party was extremely fierce, and the Japanese took a walk through some public opinions, which led to instability in British India~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The local civil servants were very large. The energy is on fighting against this hostility. The lack of cooperation between the Muslim League and the Congress Party led to the outbreak of the Great Bengal Famine.”

Edward Bridges lied with a blushing face and a heartbeat, and blamed all the causes of the great famine in Bengal on the Congress Party, the Muslim League, and even the Japanese.

"If it can be ruled out, the interference of the Congress Party and the Muslim League on the Governor's Palace. I believe that this drought can be resisted." Edward Bridges made his own suggestions, "According to the news from British India , Congress and the Muslim League are also interested in sending a mission to London to express their views on the future of the subcontinent."

"Is it too much of a child's play to let the political forces of the two colonies come to the heart of the empire?" Attlee hesitated. After all, although this kind of thing has never happened, he didn't want it to appear in his term of office.

Do you think Congress is not a joke at ordinary times? Edward Bridges thought so in his heart, but did not say it, and said from a different angle, "Actually, it is not a bad thing to let the whole world know the hostility of the two forces. In this way, many countries will understand that in order to maintain the subcontinent's enmity, it is not a bad thing. Wholeness, how much effort the British Empire has put in."

"So, Sir Edward, I'll think about it." Attlee didn't make a decision right away, and decided to ask Norman Brooke.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Edward Bridges nodded lightly and left the Prime Minister's office.

Not long after, Norman Brooke received a telegram and went to the Prime Minister's Office to stay for a long time. The news was immediately uploaded to the Cabinet Secretary's office, "Prepare to send a telegram to India, it should be no problem."

Edward Bridges, with a calm look, told his private secretary, "Tell Barron to take care of British India."
