Chapter 353 Arriving in London

As a beloved boss, you must avoid mistakes that have happened in the past, such as the mistakes of a former subordinate who did not pay you. So after Alan Wilson accepted the precious gift from the Hyderabad Commissioner, his first reaction was to give money.

There is no traditional TV series where the woman gets very excited when she hears about giving money, saying, "What do you think I am?" Then angrily scolded the man for his shameless drama.

How can British women be so particular, so Alyssa happily collected the money, clearly dividing each yard into another.

"What if I get married in the future and my boss still has such a request?" Alyssa was a little annoyed, probably teasing Alan Wilson who was wearing clothes.

Then Alan Wilson took off his clothes again. He felt that this subordinate still needed some guidance, and he had to be put on the horse and given a ride, so that he would not make mistakes in the future.

Returning to his hometown has become a foregone conclusion. After thinking about this, Alan Wilson has no regrets. After all, that is the real paradise for politicians, and there are more opportunities to serve the country.

To be fair, although British India was a good place to make a fortune, it was not a big stage.

At this time, Alan Wilson still believed that he was just going back to Europe for a tour, and then he would return to British Malaya. I just didn't expect that he did return to British Malaya later, but slightly later than expected.

The Mountbatten couple agreed that their daughter would go back with Alan Wilson, and they were already engaged. Governor Mountbatten no longer rejected Alan Wilson, but gave him some encouragement and gave Alan Wilson a three-page list. This is a friend that Mountbatten himself considers quite good.

"The time given by the cabinet is to resolve the matter in British India in 1948, and I plan to go back early." Mountbatten said, "Next June is my birthday, and I hope to celebrate it in my own country. "

Although Mountbatten had been acting like he would leave only after the problem of British India was resolved, he already understood in his heart. The problem of British India cannot be solved. He will return to the country when the power is officially handed over in February.

"Father, mother, don't worry, Alan will definitely take good care of me." Pamela Mountbatten also said goodbye to her parents and was ready to return to China with her fiancé.

"Your mother and I have made a plan to travel around this subcontinent." Mountbatten glanced at his wife, and then said to his daughter, "You don't have to worry about us, we will return home in a few months."

After bidding farewell to the Governor and his wife,

The two of them got on the train with their heavy harvest. After arriving in Aden by boat, they would fly to Egypt and return home via Italy. After all, the northern Mediterranean was not particularly peaceful.

The civil war in Greece is still ongoing, and Marshall has officially issued a speech mentioning the importance of aid to Europe, although Britain's situation is much better than at the same time in history and it has more capital to negotiate.

But the first batch of substantive aid was sent out before the countries had formally negotiated the results, and the destinations were Greece and Turkey.

This was not only because it was seen as a frontline against Soviet expansion, but also because both countries had already benefited from the Truman Doctrine and received considerable amounts of upfront aid.

Initially, it was Britain that provided assistance to the anti-Soviet forces in these two countries. However, because its own economic situation was already quite bad at this time, it was difficult to persist, so the United Kingdom asked the United States to continue to assume this responsibility.

This is a historical fact, but Alan Wilson mentioned at the beginning that he was thinking of ways to deal with Turkey.

The Turkish army marched into Greece to help the Greek government forces fight, which in turn made the Greek Liberation Army more appealing. After all, the hatred between Greece and Turkey can be exploited, and the Greek Communist Party upholds national justice.

The United States is now assisting both ends of the Asian continent, but this has nothing to do with the UK. Currently, the US military advisory group is planning a joint US-Turkey-Greece command to completely eliminate this pro-Soviet armed force in the eyes of the Americans.

The Greek Liberation Army is a pro-Soviet armed force in the eyes of Americans, which is not a mistake at this time.

Different from the original history, Yugoslavia later fell out with the Soviet Union, which led to the split of the Greek Communist Party. Although the Soviet Union was the strongest support, Stalin did not want to fall out with the West so quickly and wanted to maintain peaceful coexistence in a short period of time.

Tito was the biggest supporter of the Greek Liberation Army. The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia fell out, which directly caused Greece to lose foreign aid.

The issue is? The current situation is that the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have not fallen out at all, although Britain has explained to Yugoslavia many times that those who opposed Tito in the cross-border incident were heading to the United States.

Northern Rhodesia accepted those who were anti-Tito because of pressure from the United States, not because London wanted to do so.

Belgrade accepted the narrative that London was under pressure and then turned around and fell into the arms of the Soviet Union.

Now that the relationship between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union is good, the external environment of the Greek Liberation Army will naturally be very good and become much more difficult to deal with than in history.

There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages. The Turkish army marched into Greece and stood on the side of the monarchy and government forces. Although it caused the Greeks to arouse hatred and many people sided with the Greek Liberation Army, in the end Greece only had With a population of less than eight million, it does not have the ability to tap its potential and fight to the death with the U.S.-backed government forces and Turkish troops.

Alan Wilson does not believe that the Greeks will be able to drive the anti-Greek armed forces with heavy support from the United States into the sea just because the government forces side with the Turks. As long as the Americans are willing to spare their efforts, Greece will become a country similar to the US military government in Latin America or the military government in South Korea.

Most Greeks do not like the current government, but the reactionary forces are too strong and they can only be angry but dare not speak out.

Alan Wilson thinks this is fine, as long as the current rule can be maintained, it doesn't matter whether the government is popular or not. Besides, as long as the Greek royal family exists, there is an opportunity to muddy the waters.

After all, the future queen's fiancé is a Greek prince, and the two are about to get married.

Mountbatten, who has been the deputy king of British India for a long time, has always been Philip's mentor. Mountbatten is the younger brother of Princess Alice, the mother of Prince Philip. His nickname is Dicky because of Prince Philip's father, Andreas of Greece. The prince had been separated from his wife for a long time, leaving them to live and drink in France. Therefore, Mountbatten spiritually played the role of Philip's father, and his son, Prince Charles, also called Mountbatten "my honorary grandfather."

On the journey back home, Alan Wilson also mentioned the current situation in Greece, as well as the relationship between the Queen's fiancé and the Mountbatten family. "If the Crown Prince gets married, will the Deputy Crown Prince have to come back from British India."

"It should be possible. Philip respects my father very much. After all, my father is his uncle." Pamela Mountbatten briefly mentioned the relationship between Mountbatten and the Queen's fiancé, and then she saw that her fiancé was in a daze, "How are you? Already?"

"I was wondering what the aristocratic circle is like? Do you all use gold hoes when farming? If there is a chance to meet, how should I behave so that I can pretend that I have seen the world?"

"When the time comes, you can just come with me. I know them all." Pamela Mountbatten looked like she wouldn't be sleepy if you said this. She was high-spirited and gave pointers about her father's connections in the aristocratic circle.

She finally caught such an opportunity. She was usually in a position to be taught, and this man knew almost everything. Now I finally come across an area that Alan Wilson doesn’t understand.

At this time, Alan Wilson was seriously considering whether to go to the luggage area and take out his diary to write down. Think about it or forget it, who the serious person keeps a diary?

Although the civil war in Greece may become more intense in the future, Alan Wilson is very satisfied that it is an American problem.

The British Empire's obligations in the Near East had been superseded by the United States. All expenses are American expenses!

After boarding the military plane from Aden, Alan Wilson still had some regrets. If he had enough time, he would actually like to visit the Indian community and see what the mental state of the second generation of the British Empire was like in other colonies.

Transferring planes again in Alexandria and arriving in Rome can be regarded as officially returning to Europe. Although it has been quite hard along the way, Alan Wilson is quite excited when he thinks about the heavy suitcase. There is a vast world with great potential.

Before November arrived, he had already landed from London with his fiancée. After getting off the plane, he took out the prepared masks and gave them to Pamela Mountbatten. The two hired a truck to take the suitcases out of the airport.

There was no obstruction during this period. The daughter of the Vice-Prince of India is still very respectable.

"I don't know if the Indians will miss me in the future." Alan Wilson was still thinking about the place where he fought in his life.

Nostalgia is not just in words, the first person Alan Wilson met when he returned to London was not British at all. It was Ali Khan's Indian housekeeper, Alim, who took the initiative to say hello to Ali Khan, which was also a way of saying hello to Ali Khan.

Although the Hyderabad Commissioner only had a short working experience, it is worth remembering Alan Wilson for a lifetime. If there is any good investment project, he will never forget Ali Khan. He is such a grateful person.

Alim, with Alan Wilson's instructions, often told him news about the subcontinent after he left.

Alan Wilson accompanied Pamela Mountbatten to meet the second guest, General Mountbatten's eldest daughter and Pamela Mountbatten's sister Patricia.

Originally, Pamela Mountbatten was about to go to her sister's place, but Alan Wilson felt that the housekeeper of the former world's richest man was more important. He is such a real person in the world.
