Chapter 189 Want to Do Good Deeds
"Isn't that good?" Sir Baron looked at the German watch on his wrist, and changed the topic, "Don't say it, it's quite appropriate."
"It's so suitable, it's tailor-made." Alan Wilson agreed with this, although he didn't know which German the owner of this watch was.
"As you said, time is a precious thing. Among the civil servants in British India, I am actually very optimistic about you." Sir Barron calmly changed the topic and encouraged Alan Wilson , "Many of your ideas are actually very reasonable. For example, who should own the great British Empire? Colonies are really important to the status of civil servants."
"Of course, Sir Barron, this is all under your guidance, and I finally became one of us." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude to Sir Barron's promotion, "The cornerstone and order of the empire depend on us, of course. Instead of them..."
"They were picked by the party group in their constituency, by thirty-five men in dirty raincoats and thirty-five women in ridiculous hats. The subsequent selection process was equally absurd : There are only 630 MPs in total, and a party of more than 300 MPs will form the government. Among these 300 people, 100 people are too old and stupid to be ministers, and the other 100 people are not likely to be ministers. become ministers. So the remaining one hundred MPs fill one hundred government offices. There is practically no choice."
Sir Barron nodded with satisfaction. This is the fact. Britain is divided into more than 600 constituencies, and each constituency elects a member of parliament. Ministers and the Prime Minister, including the shadow cabinet, are also members of parliament, responsible for their respective constituencies.
In the UK general election, parties are chosen, and the party that wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons governs. The queen will invite the leader of the party with the majority of seats to be the prime minister, and then the prime minister will choose the cabinet ministers from among the party members.
There is no doubt that the British Empire was certainly successful as a colonial empire, but what does that have to do with those parties? Focusing only on small local areas, thousands of square kilometers of colonies have laid the foundation of the empire on which the sun never sets. Is there any colony that can't be played without the minister? No……

Without the Labor Party and the Conservative Party, as long as there is a mature cultural management system, the British Empire will not change in any way, and maybe it will be better.
"Although this is a fact, you must remember that ministers represent public opinion. You can't say that in your own country." Sir Barron reminded with a straight face, although he was secretly happy, "Fortunately, this is a colony, you It's our people again, otherwise things will be difficult. You should talk to Congress Party,
In fact, since the beginning of the year, I have been thinking about whether to work in a leisurely but contributing position. "
Alan Wilson knew that the so-called leisure and contribution position meant that there were not so many things to do every day, but the remuneration he deserved was also indispensable, but who knew how credible Sir Barron's words were.
What if it's just a test? Alan Wilson objected without thinking, "Sir Barron, you don't have such an idea. Now that the country is officially troubled, British India is extremely important to the local economic revitalization, and there can be no mistakes. Without you sitting here, ten Isn’t Wan the civil servant messed up?”
"Even if you want to be leisurely, this environment really doesn't allow it!" Sir Barron sighed half-truthfully, taking advantage of the situation to round up the words, just expressing his recognition and support for Alan Wilson.
I knew it was a temptation! Alan Wilson slandered in his heart that to be the boss of the 100,000 civil servants in British India, these days is equivalent to the local Sir Edward, how hard must he think about it before he thinks of retiring?
Moreover, the British India is far away from the emperor, and Sir Barron’s degree of freedom even exceeds that of the cabinet secretary. If it were Alan Wilson, he would definitely stay until the colonies become independent. As long as the colonies are not independent, he will not leave. He must stand at the end One shift.
"He's not testing me, is he?" Alan Wilson didn't realize it until Sir Barron left the Governor's Mansion, and felt that the scene just now seemed to have some other meaning.
In fact, Alan Wilson's guess was correct. Although Sir Barron took good care of Alan Wilson, he did not expect that the little commissioner who was driven away by Nehru's pressure, in just over half a year, would be in Europe. Overwhelmed, he was favored by the cabinet secretary in the end, and returned to New Delhi as an assistant to the British Indian Commissioner.
Alan Wilson is so young and has such a wonderful idea, which has to make Sir Barron feel a sense of crisis. After all, it is not good news for an overly capable deputy to rise so quickly.
Now that he is already an assistant commissioner at such a young age, wouldn't he be replaced by the commissioner of British India?
However, Alan Wilson's very good performance just now dispelled Sir Barron's doubts. Although he looks a little younger now, it is understandable to want to improve.
As long as you look at it pleasing to the eye, the feeling of threatening your own existence before will also disappear. Sir Barron himself considered the issue from a different angle without being interfered by others.
Although Alan Wilson is young and has jumped extremely fast, there is a limit after all. There is not much difference between a commissioner assistant and a commissioner in words, but it is not easy to complete this leap. Qualifications and contacts are indispensable. Short Time will not pose a threat to him, the British Commissioner of India.
"I really didn't expect that there would be a crouching dragon and a phoenix in a small Governor's Mansion today." Alan Wilson, who was also off work, recalled his work experience today and realized that he encountered at least two brain supplements today. The master, with a bit of luck, managed to get away with it without any risk.
This is the first time he has felt the temptation. If he was not too stupid before, then his status was not enough to pose a threat to these senior civil servants, but now he is at least taken seriously.
Being underestimated also means being insignificant, and being valued is treated like this, so everything is good and bad.
In fact, both good and bad can also be applied to the independence issue of British India. The two major religions are in the same country. After independence, India will naturally be stronger, but internal friction will also increase accordingly. He could remember that British India in later generations was a paradise for 600 million peace believers and 900 million Hindus.
If these people are all in the same country, it is estimated that the world war will not make Indians look up again, because they are all small scenes, which are staged in India from time to time.
Nehru went back to discuss with the Congress Party, while Alan Wilson still maintained his nine-to-five job. By the way, ask about what Ali Jinnah, the lifelong enemy of the Congress Party, is doing.
As an advanced country that attaches great importance to human rights, it is very normal for civil servants in the British Empire to go up to five and study two. As New Year's Day approached, the weather in New Delhi was not too cold, so Alan Wilson secretly went to find Pamela Mountbatten in an indomitable spirit.
The little girl is still very simple. She went to a girls' school in New Delhi. She is the daughter of General Mountbatten. She has a high status and will not taste intrigue and knows nothing about the dangers of society.
Among Pamela Mountbatten's sixteen years of life experience, the most sinister thing in life is when she was indoctrinated by Alan Wilson that Indians cannot be trusted.
Recently, he is sending people to find the place where the floating corpses in the Ganges River are concentrated, and he is going to guide the local public opinion. Alan Wilson is not Indian after all, and it will take some time to find him as an Englishman. But about the disrespect of women in India, references to various atrocities against women have appeared in London newspapers.
"In fact, men and women trust each other and attract each other. It is very normal to take that step. But a man cannot force a woman!" Alan Wilson has not forgotten how he treated the Iron Lady. Barton uttered nonsense in front of him.
Diluting Alan Wilson, who respects women's identity, a dirty joke for a while, made Pamela Mountbatten blush, covered her ears and shook her head, "Don't listen, don't listen, don't always talk about this. India Why don't you catch a man hurting a woman?"
"Don't say it, it's really a good idea." Alan Wilson thought about it seriously, "But the difficulty of implementing it is very high. First of all, this is a shameful thing. Almost all grassroots police officers are from India. People, this kind of case that obviously tarnishes the image of Indians, the Indian police will probably ignore it. How many people can we British catch?"
"You said you respected women just now, but now you say you can't do it." Pamela Mountbatten touched her feverish ear and snorted softly, "It makes me feel hard not to think that you were lying to me just now. You just wanted to Take advantage of me!"
"It should be possible to specifically select a few big cities and borrow religious contradictions. This is the limit. There is really no way in the vast rural areas."
Facing the embarrassing fact that Pamela Mountbatten is about to expose his own hypocrite face, Alan Wilson decisively decided to make a decisive decision for the security of British India.
All of a sudden, Allen Wilson had a clear idea. Isn't there a group of goddesses in Hinduism? Local citizens don't know yet, this can be used as an entry point to sort out the opposition of British Indian civil servants to bad habits, even if it is only a nominal opposition, it can also make local women look at Alan Wilson with admiration.
Every time the image of British Indian civil servants is established, in turn, the image of British India will suffer a major blow. But this is not his problem, it is the problem of Indians.
The solemn statement of the assistant to the British Indian Commissioner made Pamela Mountbatten nod, and finally maintained his personal image.
