Chapter 326 The Way Out for the Future
Historically, in 1947, British India has reached the brink of civil war. Since the summer, conflicts between the two major sects have continued. Now, with the efforts of everyone in the Governor's House, whether there can be changes, we will know when the summer comes. .
Alan Wilson has prescribed a once-and-for-all prescription for Indians who are looking forward to independence. If you have a headache, cut off your head and all problems will be solved.
He knew that the Congress Party would not agree, but it didn't matter. They would definitely agree when the time came.
It was not that he would have nothing to do if he found Ali Jinnah. Through Ali Jinnah's strict tuberculosis, he had been thinking about strictly exploring the potential of British India in all aspects, and thought of another area in the subcontinent that could contribute to the British Empire, drug testing. field.
Every drug on the market must go through long-term drug trials to confirm that the side effects are controllable before it can be approved for marketing. Otherwise, extremely bad consequences may occur, such as the seal incident.
These deformed babies have no arms and legs, and their hands and feet grow directly on their trunks. They look like seals, so they are called seal babies. Soon, seals appeared in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and other countries. The deformities included no limbs, half limbs, no hands, no feet or no fingers, missing ears, and no eyes.
In the ten months since 1962, 5,500 seal babies were born in West Germany, and a considerable number of pregnant women suffered miscarriages, premature births and stillbirths. More than 8,000 such newborns have been found in the UK, and more than 300 in Japan.
The United States, a developed country, was spared because an American official objected, allowing the United States to avoid this incident. Of course, China has also avoided it. The reason for avoiding it is simpler: it is too poor.
It is a well-known fact that India is a drug testing ground. As a testing base for European and American pharmaceutical companies for a long time, it naturally has its own advantages. First of all, the subcontinent is known as the ethnographic museum. India is composed of five different ethnic groups, namely Negli Indians, primitive Australians, Dravidians, Aryan-Punjabis, East Asians.
Genetic diversity is the best place for drug testing, and Africa is the origin of humankind. The native black people in Africa have diverse genes. Naturally, Africa and India have become the testing grounds for major pharmaceutical companies.
Whether it is ethical to do so is not something Alan Wilson can consider, he does not have this thing.
And this was done by India itself in exchange for generic drugs. Otherwise, why would major international pharmaceutical companies allow India to flood with generic drugs? Nothing in this world comes for free. It is India that has assumed the important task of being a testing ground and will not be harshly criticized when it enters the WTO.
Otherwise, just relying on generic drugs, India will not be admitted to the WTO for a hundred years.
After asking about Ali Jinnah's physical condition and exchanging opinions on the future of British India, Alan Wilson carried with him a small notebook used to record ways to tap India's potential, as well as information about the generic drug testing site. Record. This will be the direction in which he will work hard next.
After Vivien Leigh left British India, she did not completely lose contact with Alan Wilson. Through the relationship with British Treasure, Alan Wilson contacted the tuberculosis research company in the United States.
The application of streptomycin to tuberculosis has only just begun. However, if streptomycin is used alone to treat tuberculosis, drug resistance will soon appear. However, for Ali Jinnah's short lifespan, this side effect was nothing at all.
The experimental drugs will arrive in British India next month at most, and at that time he will send them to Ali Jinnah.
It would be a good thing for the British Empire, the biggest enemy of the Congress Party, to live even a few more months before receiving the call of God.
As for Ali Jinnah's current opponent, Gandhi, the great Mahatma, it can be said that starting in 1947, he encountered troubles he had never encountered before. It is true that the British were ready to leave, but because they decided to let go, they no longer cared about many previous considerations. The British Empire had many opportunities to crush Gandhi to death.
It’s not difficult at all in terms of means.
It's just that the character set up by Gandhi before made the British Empire helpless. It was afraid of killing Gandhi and intensifying the conflicts in British India. But now, the British Empire, which has decided to withdraw and leave, no longer cares.
In the past, I neither hit nor scolded Gandhi and the Congress Party, but now they have completely let it go, and the effect of non-violent non-cooperation has been greatly reduced. Gandhi repeatedly reiterated that if partition was necessary, it should be done after independence.
Let the British evacuate India first, and then let India decide its own destiny. There may be short-term chaos, which can give India new training, "but the ordeal will purify us." Nowadays, Gandhi's voice has not been heeded by many, and the initiative is no longer in his hands.
The initiative lies entirely in the hands of the British Indian colonial government. Now that even Governor Mountbatten has given up on urgent solutions and started to work hard, there is nothing to worry about.
The Governor-General's Office, which holds the initiative, has entered the most proud moment since the Congress Party became popular. The Congress Party still wants to cause trouble? It would be nice if our British Empire didn't cause trouble.
Sir Barron also attaches great importance to the arrival of Isabella Bokina. After all, the Hellman family tobacco factory also provides him with a share of income. For this reason, Sir Barron is very interested in the heroic and heroic figure. Let the dragoons show great respect.
When people are in a hurry, Bokina should not be embarrassed. As long as British India can do anything, she will do her best to help.
"Mr. Allen has been a great help." Pokina smiled brightly and glanced at Allen Wilson. "Actually, our family is a beneficiary of the current support plan of the Trade Commission. Among them is the British The help of the occupation government is also inseparable from the support of British India, for which I am very grateful. Helping Britain achieve its goals is helping Germany."
"Sir, this is what I should do." In front of Sir Barron, Alan Wilson worked hard but was not greedy for merit. He expressed his awareness that he would not hesitate to shed blood and sweat for the sake of the British Empire, which reflected the attitude of the imperial civil servants. Excellent quality.
With Sir Barron's approval, this time the dragoon's goal has been achieved. There is no need for Governor Mountbatten to know about this. The Governor is enjoying a pleasant vacation in Ceylon and it is not suitable to disturb him at this time.
Alan Wilson, who is responsible for reception work, sleeps with guests who come to British India. What can be said? It is just a way to show the close relationship between Britain and Germany, and I guess readers will not be interested...
"I know you are a working woman, but don't be too overworked. Once the affairs in British India are over, I will return to Europe to visit you. Tell Anna that I miss her very much."
Alan Wilson treats Dragoon very well. He has always treated women like this, caring for her on the same level as a husband. It’s not that there are no people who care about me from the perspective of friends. They are probably about the same number as the former, or maybe more than the former.
After the departure of the Germans, his reception was still unfinished, for Churchill, after successfully convincing Governor Mountbatten to recognize reality, spent some time in Ceylon before returning to New Delhi.
He said that he wanted to return to China to explain the situation in British India, and that Churchill's age was indeed not suitable for staying abroad for a long time.
"The future of the country always worries me." Churchill said to Sir Barron and Alan Wilson. "The biggest threat facing the British Empire in the world today is undoubtedly the Soviet Union."
Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, as if he heard Churchill's mellow shout, "From Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, the Iron Curtain has been drawn across the European continent. This iron curtain has been drawn across the European continent. Behind the scenes lie all the capitals of the ancient countries of Central and Eastern Europe - Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia..."
"Do you also agree with me?" Churchill looked at the two people in front of him expectantly. In fact, a trip to British India was not without gain for Churchill. He found the feeling of being Prime Minister here. People from all walks of life come here in droves, and they are busier than when they were prime ministers, but they do not have the power of prime ministers.
"Huh? Yes, the MP's words are deafening." Alan Wilson unconscionably sided with Churchill.
But in his heart, he still hopes that Prime Minister Attlee can stabilize the situation before considering other things. Now that Britain owes a lot of debt to the United States, it has insufficient internal strength. It is really not a good thing to jump too high.
It would be great if we were debt-free. Then the Cold War would officially begin, and the British Empire would have much more room for maneuver.
On March 15, Churchill, who had stayed in British India for two months, officially boarded a plane back home.
A quarter of 1947 has passed. For all civil servants in British India, victory is already in sight and all they need to do is grit their teeth.
Although on the surface they still pretend to co-exist and die with British India, many senior civil servants are already arranging a retreat. British Malaya is certainly among the considerations, but for most senior civil servants, because of the great Prime Minister The large number of state-owned enterprises created by Attlee's nationalization seemed like a better place to go.
Just after Governor Mountbatten ended his vacation in April, news came back from Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal, which were very willing to maintain harmonious and peaceful relations with the current British India and the future India under the witness of the British Empire.
Alan Wilson leaked this response to the newspapers and began to put pressure on the Congress Party through public opinion. What was his attitude? He quickly expressed his position.
