Chapter 199 Barron's Teachings

"The minister's statement is very sloppy!" When he arrived at Sir Barron's office, Alan Wilson heard the head of the British Indian civil servants comment, "Not only is it deceptive to Indians, but if it spreads, it will be deceptive to people from other countries. Equally deceptive, it creates a wrong impression of Indians."

"Yes, Sir Barron. But things have already happened!" Alan Wilson said that he was still on Sir Barron's side, and did not agree with the hasty statement of the Minister of Indian Affairs. "We only understand Indians, not Indians." High minister."

"That's why these ministers who didn't know what to do before always jump out at critical moments to destroy the foundation of the empire. This is really annoying." Sir Barron has not yet finished criticizing the Minister of Indian Affairs, and finally sighed Said, "Find a place to wander around, drink red wine, ride a horse, isn't it good to go back to China when the time comes, just use some non-destructive words, just fool the Indians, we are professionals."

"Well, maybe the minister does not have our vocabulary, and the vocabulary we have mastered may not be so attractive to be honest. Most of the documents issued cannot be understood, and no one cares." Alan Wilson pondered for a while With a wry smile, "This may be our weakness."

"It is the biggest advantage in itself not to understand the issued documents and understand what we say. In this way, most of them will not understand how the country works. If they don't understand, they can't find fault. In reliable hands, there is no doubt that none are more reliable than those of us who have spent our lives in the service of our country."

reliable! Alan Wilson admits that there is no better compliment to the life of a public servant than this term.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, what are you here for?" Sir Baron skipped the hasty statement to the minister, and asked Alan Wilson what he wanted to do in his office?

"That's right, Sir, it's about the discharge and return of British Indian soldiers." Alan Wilson took out a document about the return resettlement plan for veterans after the war, "The full version is too cumbersome, I I won't bring it over."

"You should leave the full version to the Congress Party." Sir Barron took out his glasses and said with a smirk on his face, "What is the main plan? What are your considerations?"

"It's mainly a matter of land distribution. In principle, we are more willing that most of the soldiers, especially Hindu soldiers, can get resettlement land." Allen Wilson said solemnly, "To be honest, the land situation in North India can be said It is very tense, there are too many people in the Ganges River Basin, and there is not much land available for distribution, so the land distribution plan can be said to be very difficult."

"In principle, we should give priority to Hindu soldiers and soldiers who speak Hindi, but the land in the Ganges River Basin is tense.

If it is allocated to these soldiers, it may cause unnecessary conflicts, so I think, consider allocating the land of these soldiers to places outside the Ganges River Basin, such as the Indus River Basin, and the southern states. "

Upon hearing this, Sir Baron stopped flipping through the documents and said with a chuckle, "I said, why are you so kind all of a sudden, and you started to care about the well-being of the returning Indian soldiers. So that was the idea."

"Oh, dear Sir Barron, the war is over. In order to reduce the burden on British India, it is not a mistake to let some soldiers return to their hometown. However, the overpopulation of the hometown causes conflicts. It is not what we want to see Yes, so dispersing and demobilizing is a very good way, I am completely selfless, and I am thinking about the lives of the soldiers after they retire."

"However, the advantage is that this can weaken the military strength of a large part of Indians. During the war, India absolutely expanded to 2.75 million people. Now that the war is over, it is indeed worrying." Sir Barron put down the document, but He still asked with some doubts, "Will Tubang agree?"

"Most of the states are just bigger landowners who have no ability to resist. As for the lords like the state of Hyderabad, I am going to talk to them once. This plan has taken into account the issue of belief. My thoughts are as follows Yes, soldiers from the Peace Church go to Hyderabad and Junagadh. Hindu soldiers need to identify their ethnicity. For example, Hindi-speaking soldiers can be sent to Tamils. They are all Hindus. It's okay to get along."

This is definitely not Alan Wilson's weakening of the Indian army, but considering that these soldiers fought bloody for the British Empire during the war, and he could not let these soldiers fall into poverty after retiring from the army.

Pay attention to the official account: the base camp of book friends, pay attention to get cash and coins!

However, North India, especially the Ganges River Basin, has a lot of people and little land. There is not so much land for distribution, so difficulties exist objectively. Therefore, considering the objective difficulties, these soldiers were sent to the south of the Deccan Plateau, which is relatively sparsely populated.

These are all deliberate considerations, and the land should be allocated to each soldier to the greatest extent.

Of course, as a very diverse subcontinent, some troops mainly based on their own ethnicity should be retained, such as the Sikh Legion, and the army mainly based on their hometown. The troops who wear all kinds of colorful and strange hats and make themselves up and down are usually exclusive troops based on ethnic groups and hometowns in various places.

The names of these exclusive troops often have the characteristics of their own nationality or hometown. If you switch to Chinese, you will understand that the Hunan Army and the Sichuan Army are almost the same concept.

Changed to the Indian title, Rajaput United; Punjab United; Sikh United; Maratha Light Infantry United; Kumaang United; Gurkha United and so on.

In order to facilitate the management of the British Indian troops, the units below the battalion were uniformly reorganized according to their ethnicity and hometown.

For the sake of diversification and giving priority to Hindi-speaking soldiers, these units will be retained and will be arranged in the second round, that is, after India's independence.

This kind of careful thinking can't be hidden from Sir Barron's eyes. He looked at Alan Wilson and asked, "How much do you want to reduce the Hindu soldiers? It can't be too obvious. My suggestion is that the nation and the Choose one religion, don't take care of both at the same time, reduce the number of Hindi soldiers, and at the same time ensure that the Hindu soldiers are not weakened. Nehru and those people are not stupid, once you move too much, it is easy to be seen. "

"Yes, I still need Sir Barron's teaching." Alan Wilson asked with his head lowered, "How to do it more appropriately?"

"En!" Sir Barron nodded, tapping his fingers on the table, "Keep the ethnic troops south of the Deccan Plateau, reduce the size of the Hindustanis by an appropriate amount, select the Hindustanis individually, and use the total number of soldiers of the Peace Corps to The amount is used as a reference, and it is reduced to a ratio of one to one. The entire Peace Church soldiers are regardless of ethnicity. The total number is the same as the total number of Hindustan soldiers after reduction. It is still necessary to far surpass the soldiers of the Peace Cult, otherwise it will be seen."

"According to this ratio, the work of organizing the return to the hometown will be carried out, and the size of the soldiers of the Peace Church will also be reduced, and the reduction will be reduced simultaneously according to the ratio."

"According to, in proportion, in sync..." When Sir Barron focused on Alan Wilson, he saw Alan Wilson taking notes, muttering while writing.

Sir Barron, who wanted to laugh in his heart, wanted to maintain the unpredictable character design, and said with a sullen face, "Disarmament can only be done and not publicized, so it's better to have other things as a cover. What about your New Culture Movement? Is it because the three cabinet ministers are here, so you want to suspend the implementation?"

"Yes, Sir Barron." Alan Wilson picked up his notes, looked at Sir Barron and said, "I have also discussed with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and I think it is better to wait until the ministers leave."

"Clark!" Sir Barron sighed, and then said, "You can implement the harmless part first, for example, as a person, it is wrong to be hygienic and clean, no matter what, even Hinduism has the Ganges River as a holy place." River, the idea of ​​washing away all sins in the world, first pick out the harmless parts of the New Culture Movement, name it randomly, for example, the Clean India Movement, and let the media under it use Hindu classics as an introduction to advocate cleanliness and sanitation. Come one by one, wait until the ministers leave, and follow the trend to the next step."

Seeing that the notes that had just been picked up tended to be taken out again, Sir Barron hurriedly said, "By the way, our Great Britain Treasure, Miss Vivien Leigh, has agreed to the Ministry of the Interior's proposal and is going to come to India to build momentum." It depends on you, let every Indian, regardless of religion, take Vivien Leigh's dress and image as an example, thinking that this is the common situation in the UK."

"I want to find out if there is a film of Gone with the Wind." Sure enough, Alan Wilson no longer took out his notes, but was going to ask if there were any Vivien Leigh movies in British India, which would be shown for free in theaters in various cities.

There should be some, after all, such a large colony, it is impossible to have a film of a famous movie.

Alan Wilson was not completely dazzled by the beauty, he left the Governor's Mansion and went to the Supreme Court to discuss with Chief Justice Clark.

Thousands of miles away, Vivien Leigh, who is determined to become the spokesperson of the image of the British Empire and establish a civilized and prosperous image of the British Empire, has already set off under the opposition of her husband. As she said before, "I can also talk, and I can also be patriotic."
