Chapter 15 Mountbatten
Once the Hyderabad and Junagadh states form an alliance in a sense, many powerful states can be brought in to join. No matter what the National Congress Party and the Muslim League think, anyway, the worst result will be the same as history, unable to stop the rolling wheels, but as long as India can be disintegrated for a few years, he feels that he is very worthy of Ali Khan. Back to England with a clear conscience.
Soon the news about the communication between Sir Barron, the Congress Party and the Muslim League came. Nehru himself came to the Governor's Palace, but Ali Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League, did not come.
However, the representative of the Muslim League brought Ali Jinnah's opinion. The Muslim League stated that as long as the Governor's Office clarifies the partition plan of India and Pakistan, it can give support in the next war. The chairman of the Congress Party, Nehru, is also willing to cooperate with the interests of the British Empire in this matter.
The stance of the National Congress Party and the Muslim League made the Governor's Office a sigh of relief. British India is stable, so it can continue to support the war to recover Myanmar. The senior officials and commissioners of the provinces are also happy to see the results.
Rather than supporting the war, the Congress Party and the Muslim League are now more concerned about the upcoming Central Legislative Council elections. Otherwise, democracy is really a good thing, the more chaotic it is, the more it can play a buffer role and be used for bargaining.
"It is really unexpected that the Congress Party and the Muslim League can express their support so quickly." John expressed his feelings. In his impression, this kind of cooperation has long since disappeared. Before he came to British India , but I heard that more than 20 years ago, the relationship between the Congress Party and the Muslim League was not bad.
"Nehru and Ali Jinnah are not ordinary people. In fact, you can vaguely feel that the Governor's Palace is slightly biased towards the Muslim League." Alan Wilson just tasted the words and did not follow the topic in depth.
Although Nehru has only been to the Soviet Union once, it can only be regarded as a hasty passerby, but judging from India's operations after independence, Nehru was really influenced by the Soviet Union, and many policies are variants of the Soviet Union.
As for Ali Jinnah, he is completely close to Western leaders. In terms of beliefs, both of them are considered heretics in their own beliefs. Who would have thought that Nehru, a Hindu intellectual, would have a dislike for the Soviet Union, which shouted for equality? Extraordinary favor? It even affected India for decades.
Ali Jinnah is the Shia sect of the Peace Sect, which is completely a minority in the world of the Peace Sect, and it is also the same in the British India. He can be the leader of the Muslim League, and it is almost the same as cheating.
From these two people, Alan Wilson suddenly discovered that history really needs to rely on heresy to advance? Compared with the Roman Catholic Holy See in the Middle Ages, the Anglican Church in England is undoubtedly a heresy, but it first started the Industrial Revolution.
Britain's attitude towards the Muslim League and the National Congress Party is definitely to support the Muslim League a little bit to prevent the National Congress Party from dominating. From the point of view of the entire Eurasian continent, an independent India has of course blocked the connection with the world of the Church of Peace.
But Britain also did not want India to become uncontrollable, so it used the Muslim League and later Pakistan to contain India. Alan Wilson remembered that at the beginning of the partition of India and Pakistan, Pakistan appeared in the name of the Dominion of Pakistan, and it was not officially established until the 1950s.
At present, how are the two major local forces in British India? It is not up to the two commissioners to worry about it. The most important thing for the two is to make money. After what Alan Wilson said, John is very concerned about the matter of the Tubang Alliance. Heart, no one can say whether British India will exist in the future, and how long it will exist, and we should prepare early.
"The two maharajas are both believers of peace. They really should take a walk. I can arrange for the two maharajas to meet when I go back. I will also go to Hyderabad." John said with a thoughtful expression, " Both of us showed up, so the communication might be smoother."
"We are the commissioners of the country, and it is not a bad thing to consider the interests of the monarch of the country." Alan Wilson spread his hands,
As if killing thieves with the intention of killing them is powerless, he said, "Maintaining the influence of the British Empire is the reason we do this."
Crack! John took out a match and wiped it, lit a cigarette for himself and said intoxicatedly, "That's right, that's what I want to say. We should also return to our respective lands, no matter what we do, it will take time."
"I agree, let's say goodbye to Sir Barron." Alan Wilson thought for a while, and felt that it was meaningless to take it with him in New Delhi. Anyone who met him was a higher official than himself, so he might as well go back to Hyderabad and be a British gentleman.
I don't know whether it's the British civil servants who are more core, or the maharajah's private consultants. The two people came all the way to Sir Barron's office. Sir Lun frowned, "He's not here, okay?"
Looking up, I saw two people coming in, and straightly sorted out the documents and said, "My private secretary is absent, can Alan help me deliver this document to the commander-in-chief."
"Uh, I'm willing to help." Alan Wilson, who was about to say goodbye, could only reluctantly agree. The commander-in-chief Sir Barron said was the current commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asia theater, the famous Mountbatten.
When it comes to Mountbatten, one has to talk about the halo surrounding him. Mountbatten's great-grandfather was Ludwig II, Grand Duke of Hesse-Rheinland, and his grandfather was Prince Alexander Battenberg. Her maternal great-grandfather was Prince Karl, the son of Ludwig II, her maternal grandfather was Prince Alexander Battenberg's cousin, Grand Duke Ludwig III of Hesse-Rhine, and her maternal grandmother was Princess Alice, the second daughter of Queen Victoria.
Mountbatten has relatives in the royal families of Britain, Denmark, Greece, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Hesse-Rhine, Mecklenburg and other German princes.
In addition, as a direct descendant of Queen Victoria, Louis Mountbatten was also one of the presumed heirs to the British throne at birth, ranking in the order of succession, Princess Maud, the youngest daughter of Edward VII, who later became Queen of Norway and Kaiser Wilhelm II. after Queen Victoria's three young daughters and their descendants.
The current Mountbatten came to India two years ago to serve as the commander of the Southeast Asia theater, but as far as the news from the theater command is concerned, basically the combat plan does not require much attention from the commander-in-chief. Compared with the Indian Colonial Department and the Governor's Mansion, which have always been in operation, Mountbatten is very leisurely.
