Chapter 28 The Dawn of Victory

In terms of mentality, Alan Wilson is definitely more unequivocal than anyone else. Under the power of the Congress Party, he will get out of British India in disgrace. There is still time to plant mines here, so that Pamela Mountbatten can go Take a look at Junagadh.

Because leaving British India has forgotten the interests of the country? This is absolutely impossible, even in Europe, he can still contribute to the great monarchs on the South Asian subcontinent. In a sense, it could even be better.

Although he has not been the commissioner of Hyderabad for a long time, Alan Wilson has successfully sorted out a hard-working image in front of Ali Khan with a sincere attitude. Minister of Deraba.

Among the people who came to Mumbai to see him off was the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Hyderabad, but in Alan Wilson's view, with such a miserly monarch, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had very limited room to play.

It happened that Pamela Mountbatten was also there, and Alan Wilson also introduced Pamela's identity. The other party was overjoyed and praised immediately, "Commissioner, it can be seen that London seconded you to return to China temporarily, just to let you play a greater role in the future." .So our Maharaja can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he took out the prepared gift, a palm-sized box, and opened it to see that it was full of gems.

"This is all the country values ​​me!" Of course Alan Wilson knew that it was all because of Pamela Mountbatten. If he really returned home in despair, the other party might not take out the box, but Take it back, "Give my regards to Maharaja Ali Khan. Although I am returning to China temporarily, my heart will always be with Hyderabad. This is my personal promise."

About to leave the place where he worked for a long time, Alan Wilson was very relaxed and maintained an optimistic attitude all the time, which even affected Pamela Mountbatten. As for the gems sent by Ali Khan, he also passed them on to Pamela Mountbatten Barton.

"Don't you care about wealth?" Holding a box of colorful gems in her hand, Pamela Mountbatten's mind went blank, and she couldn't understand the person in front of her at all.

Of course I care, otherwise what are you doing with these big boxes? These boxes are actually empty, and the gold is in the steel interlayer. The time spent designing these boxes is not even comparable to going to college.

Even though he thought so, Alan Wilson still pretended to be open-minded, "There is a comparison between precious and not precious, it depends on what these gems are compared with? To me, they are really stones."

Before leaving, Alan Wilson, who regarded money as dung and had a face full of awesomeness, immediately became taller in front of Pamela Mountbatten.

The freighter at the pier had already blown its whistle, and Alan Wilson said goodbye to Pamela Mountbatten with a smile, "So respectful Miss Pamela, we are destined to meet again, and there is..."

"I will take care of your assistants!" Pamela Mountbatten raised her head and said first, "You can write a letter when you have time, and take me to say hello to my mother and sister."

Stretching out a thumbs up to Pamela Mountbatten, Alan Wilson waved his hand and boarded the freighter.

"Let's go back to New Delhi too!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled and greeted the soldiers around her, "Thank you so much."

At the same time as Alan Wilson's long sea journey, the European battlefield has reached a critical moment. The Allied forces on the Western Front launched the Battle of Ruhr, hoping to join forces with the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front.

The Allied forces commanded by Eisenhower faced Field Marshal Model in Germany who was known as a firefighter. But from one moment to another, compared with when he was a firefighter on the Eastern Front, Model was facing a worse situation at this time. Berlin transferred a large number of troops to the Eastern Front to resist the threat of the Soviet Red Army to Berlin.

The Allied forces on the western front had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and weapons, and the aviation force carried out interdiction bombing before the start of the battle.

When Alan Wilson arrived in London,

The Battle of the Ruhr has come to an end. The newspapers on the streets of London are full of news that Model committed suicide and the German army on the western front has collapsed. Everyone knows at this time that the fall of Germany is not far away.

"Who would have thought that a few years ago, the Germans looked invincible." Alan Wilson, who was holding a newspaper, shrugged and disembarked with his own box. It is a big deal to keep these priceless treasures properly.

Then it is to perform your duties and be a qualified messenger. It has to be said that the traces of the war are still very obvious. For example, there are women all over the street, but men of the right age are rarely seen. This has greatly improved the presence of Alan Wilson himself.

Compared with before the outbreak of the war, it was obvious that London was in depression. As the war was drawing to a close, the question facing many people was how to restore the vitality of London after the war.

However, compared with the depression in London, the cities of continental Europe are now truly gloomy. For many people, life after the war is no easier than during the war. The only country that has not been affected by the world war may be the United States, whose homeland has not been attacked.

Alan Wilson had just returned home, stored the delivered boxes, and started his messenger work non-stop. Prime Minister Churchill, Secretary of State for India Leo Emery, and possibly Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges if he went to Whitehall were on the list for delivery. Edward Bridges steered the Cabinet Office brilliantly through the Second World War.

Whitehall is a street in London, England. It connects the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street. In this street and its vicinity, some British government agencies such as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of the Navy are located here. Therefore, people use Whitehall as the name of the British executive branch.

This does not include that he still has to accept the conversation of MI6. After all, it is a time of war, and whether he is loyal to the British Empire is a very important issue, not to mention that Alan Wilson himself is an informant stationed abroad.

Of course, the letter from Pamela Mountbatten was at the top of the list. After temporarily settling these empty boxes, he went to Mountbatten's residence in London according to the address.

Did not repeat the mistake of sending documents for the first time, Mountbatten's wife Edwina Ashley and eldest daughter Patricia Mountbatten are at home, and it is even easier than in New Delhi, at least not on guard So strict.

But the level of luxury is no less than that of a villa in New Delhi. The family background of Mountbatten's wife Edwina Ashley can be seen. Her marriage with Mountbatten can be described as a strong alliance.

"I'm from the Indian colony, and Pamela asked me to deliver the letter." After expressing that he had no malice, Alan Wilson entered the living room and introduced himself.

"You work in British India? How's the situation there? Is Pamela okay?" Patricia Mountbatten asked questions with great interest when she heard the purpose of her visit.

"It's okay, it's okay! British India is generally calm." Alan Wilson was quite helpless, and he was already a little tired of asking this kind of soul question three times. I don't know if it is the sequelae of Pamela Mountbatten.
