Of course, these words were not said to the assistants in front of them, but Alan Wilson let these assistants understand how to make a choice from the perspective of their own interests, "You must understand that once British India became independent, it became mainstream in London. What should we be thinking about right now? Now that there are 100,000 civil servants and their families in British India, they will become Indians directly in the future?"

Seeing these assistants shaking their heads, obviously not interested in being Indians, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "Then we have to consider another question, are there so many jobs in the country for those of us who have returned to China? Can we still stay in the civil service?"

At this point, the meaning is very clear. Including Alan Wilson, the Hyderabad Commissioner, the civil servants in the whole of British India are now at risk of unemployment. For the sake of future life, it is not enough to strive for their own interests as much as possible. Points, to know that they are now facing the world's richest man.

This time, the unified thinking was very successful. There is no need to imagine the future of unemployment. Outside the British residential area, there are people in Hyderabad who are in rags and have nothing to do, staring at numb eyes and begging. Think of these hungry people as themselves, and it might be the scene of British India's independence and their return to the British mainland.

After trying to understand this, when discussing issues later, these assistants became obviously much smarter. They seemed to have grown up in one day and became really like civil servants. The temperament of the students who walked out of the campus had disappeared.

Alan Wilson thinks it is not difficult to get armaments. At this time in 1945, more than five million troops fought under the command of the United Kingdom. Although the main army of the United Kingdom was built mainly by the navy, it can be used in the world war. The key point is that the army is also huge. Taking tanks as an example, 26,000 vehicles have been produced including infantry tanks and cruiser tanks, and this is not counting the number of heavy tanks in the back.

Wanting to arm a native Indian state is not a problem at all, the only problem is whether someone will do it seriously.

During his first month in the state of Hyderabad, Alan Wilson was familiar with his work, thinking about how to benefit from Ali Khan, the richest man in the world, and to play his part in the independence of British India, although the British There does not appear to be a standard answer to Indian independence.

But he also knew that in the independence process of British India, it was impossible for him to exert influence only as the commissioner of Hyderabad. In the two years before independence, Allen had a lot to do.

Regarding the independence of British India, Alan Wilson certainly has his own ideas. After independence, India cannot be too weak, otherwise it will not play the role of balancing and pacifying the world, but India will not be peaceful if it is too strong.

And after India became independent, what would you think of the period when it was colonized by Britain? There is no doubt that India will definitely consider it a national shame. The joke about the British looting of 5 trillion US dollars, which is flooded on the Internet in later generations, can represent the thoughts of Indians.

As long as there is no hateful neighbor in the north, the United Kingdom is generally the object of swearing by Indians.

While establishing a personal friendship with the monarch of Hyderabad, Allen was also in contact with other princely states. As the most powerful princely state in South Asia today, Hyderabad princely state, among more than 500 princely states in India, has played a role in The role of a weather vane. It can be said that many princely states are all followers of Hyderabad.

"I talked to John, Junagadh and Hyderabad are in the same environment, the two kingdoms have a common destiny, if the two kingdoms can establish a close relationship, whether it is Ali Jinnah or Neh Lu, especially the latter should be calmer." The John in Alan Wilson's mouth was the commissioner of Junagadh.

Junagadh, plus Hyderabad, as well as Kashmir as we all know, are currently the top three independent kingdoms in South Asia. Among them, Junagadh, which is 50,000 square kilometers, has unique advantages because this land The state is next to Mumbai, India's largest deep-water port.

Mumbai is responsible for more than half of South Asia's shipping, and it is still the stronghold of Bollywood in later generations. In fact, the Junagadh state was the best among the three major states, but it was also the first to be destroyed. Like Ali Khan, the monarch of Junagadh is a pacifist, and the inhabitants of the state are mainly Hindus.

Junagadh and Hyderabad are grasshoppers on a rope, no one can escape! Once they are defeated by Nehru, it means that more than 500 princely states will be captured by New Delhi.

"Our two princely states are far away, and his condition is much better, and he is very close to the northwest." Ali Khan frowned and commented in an objective tone. Nagard is actually quite close to Pakistan after independence. But the time of destruction was earlier than that of Hyderabad, and there was not even a decent resistance. It was not as good as Hyderabad, which had fought a **** battle.

Of course, Allen didn't say it. Because of the disadvantage of the number of peaceful believers, they didn't want to fight with Hindus when they first became independent. Later, India was too much. Junagadh and Hyderabad states, Nehru said respect public opinion, most Hindus want to join India.

But when he arrived in Kashmir, Nehru changed his rhetoric again, saying that the monarch of Kashmir was a Hindu and wanted to join India.

Can the Indo-Pakistani war be avoided? Alan Wilson knew this was impossible, because the home of the Nehru family was in Kashmir, and the Nehru family was a famous scholar during the Mughal Empire. They entered the Mughal only because of the conscription of the Mughal emperor. The empire expanded its influence.

Kashmir is of great significance to the Nehru family. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the land of Longxing. Nehru will never give up his hometown to Pakistan.

Hearing that Ali Khan had mixed feelings about the Junagad state, Alan Wilson had to take the initiative to encourage him, "With the current momentum of the Congress Party, it is a common situation for many princes of the state. Zhu The monarch of the Nagard state is the same as you, and the Junagad state is very close to Mumbai and has the objective conditions to block the port, which can be used.”

Alan Wilson kindly brought in the role of the dog-head military sergeant, and he did his best to Ali Khan. Although he knew that it was almost impossible to prevent Nehru from unifying India with the power of the major states, but what if there was a surprise?
