, the fastest update of the latest chapter of British Civil Service!

Scared to pee? Exclamation invincible? Edel looked at the assistant commissioner who was reputed to have fantastic ideas. Could this be the secret of the other party's promotion faster than himself?

"But it seems that there is no such voice in international public opinion!" Eder said with some embarrassment, "Are you saying that the Indians believe it?"

You are asking the right person! Alan Wilson straightened his waist and said, "We can say that the international public opinion says so. As for whether Indians believe it, it depends on two aspects. There are two kinds of people in any region. Those with low self-esteem share the shortcomings of all mankind. Attributing to their own nation, the largest one is just the opposite, believing that their own nation has advantages that all human beings do not have. Both groups are huge."

"The former did not dare to look at us colonists. The latter's mentality is probably like this. We European barbarians have only risen in the past three hundred years. How can we compare them with their ancient civilization?"

When Alan Wilson said this, he sneered brazenly, "If I were to commit suicide immediately and be humiliated by a group of monkeys who had just come down from a tree with three hundred years of money, it would be enough to prove our excellence. And they, holding The knowledge accumulated thousands of years ago proves how good you are, if this were in nature, Darwin's law would have taken effect long ago."

Seeing Edel nodding, Alan Wilson continued, "What I said can be summed up including but not limited to all the countries in India that consider themselves to be ancient civilizations. As for India, some Indians who say a few words can go to heaven. , will definitely believe it, of course this needs guidance, we focus on praising Gandhi, not praising the Indians."

"The reason for this?" Edel looked puzzled, not quite understanding what the difference was.

"We all know that Gandhi is Gandhi, and Indians are Indians. But Indians themselves don't see it that way. This is not a problem with ancient civilizations. All countries are like this. Praise Gandhi, Indians will think it is praise. They. Just like most of the citizens during the war were cannon fodder and imagined themselves as Churchill, so I am.”

Life is already so hard, what can you do if you don't immerse yourself in the fantasy world and have some fun?

That is, he came too late. If he had come decades earlier and became King George V, how could the British Empire fall to this level?

"As far as our job is concerned, it's essentially about trying to make the people in the colonies have a bad time before we leave," Alan Wilson concluded with a smile, "not just in British India, but in all colonies. so."

"This is too ungentleman, isn't it?" Edel said in disapproval, "I was hated like this."

"When did you get the illusion that the British Empire was a gentleman?" Alan Wilson teased after drinking the last bit of whiskey. "It's as if you didn't get a cent from this drought."

On Gandhi's hunger strike, Alan Wilson also prepared to point out that an unnamed source pointed out that Indians are not worthy of such a leader who shines with humanity. split.

In the final analysis, the world only needs such a symbol, not to treat Indians in this way. There is a saying that the behavior of fans should not rise to idols. Gandhi himself deserves respect, but it is limited to Gandhi alone, not Respect Indians.

In any case, Sir Gandhi's call on the entire subcontinent to frugally weather the storm is something to be commended.

This time the Americans are faster than the party Alan Wilson. You must know that Vivien Leigh has not yet arrived in the United States. Normally, the United States should not be more enthusiastic than the United Kingdom.

But if you look at it from the point of view of disgusting British Empire, this behavior is understandable.

Now, the war has ended for a year, and in this year, of course, the Soviet Union has aroused the fear of the United States. But Britain and France also had huge colonies, and they returned to Asia in a group.

Before the Dutch attack on Jakarta, the Dutch East Indies were the first British troops to land, to buy time for the Dutch reinforcements still on the road, Belgium, Portugal, and even the isolated Spain sent troops, old-fashioned imperialism The foreign powers reported to each other for warmth, covered each other and clinging to the colonies. The United States saw it, and it was not completely silent.

After all, the current world situation must be viewed from two aspects. From a national perspective, the Soviet Union is definitely a more threatening opponent than Britain and France, but from an international order, the current international order still has remnants of the previous era.

This residue is reflected in the fact that there are still huge colonies in the world today, which belong to different suzerain countries in Europe.

British India is the imperial cornerstone of the British Empire. This is a fact that everyone knows, and of course the United States knows it too.

The United States is embarrassed to directly turn against the United Kingdom when the Soviet Union is staring at it, but the United Kingdom is very willing to seize the opportunity to connotate it. The incident of Gandhi's hunger strike is a good opportunity.

Although it is impossible to directly confront the resolute Governor's House and Gandhi's hunger strike this time, the connotation of yin and yang strangeness belongs to the scope of freedom of speech.

Such disobedience, if the American father is still at his peak, he must be taught to be a man. But now, my father, Daying, is old and frail, with old arms and legs, so I can only pretend that I don't see it. It's just a difference in language, not a disagreement.

In the matter of Gandhi's hunger strike, the United Kingdom and the United States, which have complicated relations, formed a joint force, which made Gandhi's reputation rise to a higher level in the world.

Although the United States has used public opinion to connotate it, how do you think about this matter? The more ruthless the Americans are, when Vivien Leigh sets foot on the soil of the United States and starts to raise funds in the name of Indian daughters, it will be even more sensational.

The golden age of Hollywood has come to the second half. After the Great Depression, some legendary works such as "Gone with the Wind", "Casablanca" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" appeared in Hollywood one after another. Among them, "Gone with the Wind" achieved unprecedented success after its release in 1941. The huge success made the starring Vivien Leigh popular all over the United States, and Hollywood was the first time that it really took root in the hearts of the people.

Through Furtseva's words, Vivien Leigh's name was spread to the Soviet Union. In the golden age, world-class **** idol Marilyn Monroe, elegant synonym Audrey Hepburn, and Greta Hepburn, known as the pinnacle of human aesthetic evolution Garbo, etc.

At present, Greta Garbo has passed the peak, and Katharine Hepburn is Vivien Leigh's defeat. As for Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, they are not yet famous.

It can be said that in the past two years, only Ingrid Bergman among actresses can compete with Vivien Leigh.

If the upsurge of Gandhi's intensive reporting in the United States did not pass, Vivien Leigh would have arrived in the United States, and Great Britain Treasure would surely be warmly praised by all walks of life, whether sincere or hypocritical.

The fact that Gandhi was widely acclaimed by the international community spread throughout the subcontinent through the Governor's Palace.

The Indians who think they are Gandhi are naturally inspired. The whole world is paying attention to the subcontinent. Since Gandhi is on hunger strike to support the movement to save food and clothing, then he himself is on hunger strike.

"Such Indians are awesome, and we are not far away." According to a source who did not want to be named, the current manager of British India, the Governor's Office Commissioner Sir Barron, exclaimed in shock. India said so in a tone that India did not dare to win.

"But then again, Gandhi is so old, so there shouldn't be any problems." Sir Barron, holding a cigar between his fingers, smiled and collected the telegram, confirming that this month's income has been received, and at the same time revealing a Good news, "I heard that the Mountbatten family was holding a wedding, which was very lively, and many civil servants in Whitehall attended. The little girl Pamela is very bright, wearing a pair of jewel shoes, which are very valuable, you know this pair Where did the shoes come from?"

"I don't know, but I heard that General Mountbatten's wife has a wealthy family and is a very rich man. Maybe she prefers Pamela." , "How can I know about high society things."

"Oh, yes, it is said to be a gemstone originating in India, and Pamela said it herself." Sir Barron smiled, not saying anything, "but it's too showy, it may attract some flies, don't be because Small loses big."

"Thank you Sir for the reminder." Alan Wilson's smile gradually disappeared, and he asked himself that it was indeed possible. Thinking of this, the dividend telegram from the Royal Bank of Scotland is not looking good~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The assistant commissioner passed the full-time commissioner. Speaking of which, now I have a mentality that I always want to make trouble for the people and want to harm me.

It was not until three days later that a telegram was sent from London, "Whitehall has talked to my father, and His Majesty will make my father an earl of Burma in recognition of his contribution to the battlefield in Southeast Asia. My father is asking the cabinet for the right to handle it with full power." If you want to avoid taking office in New Delhi, what is the solution?"

"Wow!" Alan Wilson almost jumped into the telegraph room, asked the interpreter to rest, and sent a telegram to London in person, spitting out his longing for the little girl, poor Tom, being toyed with ...

At the end of the telegram, Alan Wilson wrote, "I reckon that Whitehall will agree to your father's request."

On the last day of June 1946, after careful consideration, the Cabinet announced the candidate for the new Deputy King and Governor-General of British India.

Once the news was announced, Mountbatten himself was in shock and his mind went blank. Peeking at her father secretly out of the corner of her eye, Pamela decided not to act rashly for the time being, but said she missed her sister and went to find her married sister for a chat.
