Chapter 74: There Are More Solutions Than Difficulties

If this can be achieved, Alan Wilson believes that German workers, whose labor costs have almost dropped to almost zero, and British India, which itself is a colony of the British Empire, can help the British mainland quickly get out of depression.

In fact, in the two years after the war, the Americans also believed that there was no need to provide assistance to Europe. Britain and France had huge colonies to help them recover, so there was at least a two-year window period for the United Kingdom to rely on its own strength to decide. future.

American money is easy to get and hard to pay back. Once the hot dollar is taken, there may be huge sequelae in the future.

The key question now is whether the British-occupied area of ​​Germany can become a supplement to British industry, partially make up for the damaged industry in the British mainland, and provide additional impetus to drive the colonies to complete the cycle.

If Alan Wilson were George VI, he might just slap his head and directly announce that the British-occupied areas of Germany were directly merged into the United Kingdom. Anyway, the British-occupied area also coincided with some of the original British royal territories.

He is a commissioner from Hyderabad. After arriving in Europe, he hardly touches the ground and keeps shuttling around Europe. Rescue French women, persuade Yugoslav refugees, restore order in British-occupied areas, and even prepare for the Potsdam Conference.

On the way Alan Wilson rushed back to Berlin, Moscow was still studying the victory parade held in Moscow and Berlin at the same time, while in the remote South Asian subcontinent, the Governor's Office of British India in New Delhi, Sir Barron sent the chief executives of 17 directly-controlled provinces and The commissioners of the major states called over and announced, "At present, due to the operation of the British-occupied area, the expenditure in the mainland has increased sharply, and British India needs to contribute to the entire British Empire."

"After the surrender of Germany, with the cooperation of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, Japan's surrender is not far away. The support for the Southeast Asian war can be slightly reduced, and now we can concentrate on supporting Europe. This year, the tax revenue of British India is still Let’s improve a little bit, gentlemen, look at your performance, be good at using your contacts, whether it is the Muslim League, the National Congress Party, or the maharajas of various local states, we must deal with each other in a friendly manner, and guarantee that the difficulties are temporary. "

"Sir Barron, in fact, given the current situation, the burden of British India is very heavy. But almost all of Myanmar has been recovered, and we can find a way from Myanmar. In fact, we all know that Myanmar has a good climate, and the per capita Resources are not as tight as India’s, and for local support, one more place is more powerful.”

Burke, a high-ranking official from Bangladesh, spoke slowly and carefully. Sir Barron nodded and approved the suggestion, "Isn't there a captive of the Indian National Army? Let them pay the price for their betrayal for the time being. Why not use free labor? Give it to the locals in Myanmar." I'm sure they'll be very motivated."

"Harry!" Then he named the chief executive of Punjab, and Sir Barron said blankly, "Punjab is the granary of British India, and is rarely affected by natural disasters. As the chief executive of Punjab, you have to deal with this matter." So much trouble.”

"Sir, the religious environment in Punjab is very complicated." Harry, the chief executive of Punjab, smiled wryly. "There may be some unexpected difficulties."

"For places where the religious situation is complicated, we have always followed certain rules to do things, win over the minority to check and balance the majority, and have different ways of dealing with it in different places. Peace believers are a minority in the entire British India, but in Punjab The province occupies an absolute majority, and the climate of Punjab makes it less affected by the weather, and now the food issue is very important to Europe."

“So specifically in Punjab, we want to guarantee the rights of the majority, turn a blind eye to some rough behavior, in order to achieve the goal, some sacrifices are necessary and understandable. It doesn’t matter if the local people don’t understand us , as long as the native British citizens understand us."

"Ah!" Harry, the chief executive of Punjab Province, savored carefully. Sir Barron's words meant,

Provoking ethnic relations is also a technical task. Although in most places, the Governor's Office is to contact the Peace Christians to check and balance the Hindus, but in Punjab, this cannot be done. United Peace Christians are serious. Only after thinking about this can you do it. ,"Understood."

"So, there are always more solutions than difficulties. We work in the most important colony of the British Empire, and sometimes we need some flexibility." Sir Baron continued, "I believe that next year the subcontinent will have a good climate, and there will be no drought. It’s been two years in a row.”

Subtext, Sir Barron has hinted that these chief executives who have arrived in New Delhi have to complete their tasks even if they are scratching the ground.

"No problem!" In the Office of the Executive Deputy Director of the Governor's Mansion, the chief executives from all over the country said in unison.

On June 20, the Governor-General of British India issued an administrative order. In order to completely defeat the Axis powers and restore normal economic life in British India as soon as possible, British India must overcome temporary difficulties and support the war with all its strength. .

After the executive order was issued, from the Indus River to the Ganges River, from the Himalayas to the Deccan Plateau, provincial chief executives and state commissioners took action one after another. Dig three feet in the richest colony of the British Empire!

On the other side of the earth, Alan Wilson is still thinking about his Wilson plan, which is comparable to the American Marshall plan and the Soviet Union's Molotov plan. The United States and the Soviet Union have money, and the other has administrative power.

The British Empire now only has a large population and vast colonies, and now it is certain that relying on the industrial capabilities of the United Kingdom to drive the huge colonies is somewhat insufficient.

"Alan, are you too busy and tired?" Eifel reminded Alan Wilson, who had just returned to Berlin, in a daze, "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, you are always busy, and fortunately It's young."

"Nothing! The situation in the British-occupied area is really not optimistic." Reaching out and rubbing his swollen face, Alan Wilson recovered a little, raised his wrist to check the time, and changed the subject, "I don't know about the Soviet military parade." How are you getting ready?"

"Then I don't know, but I have rehearsed a few times. Some troops have issued new uniforms, which looks quite bluffing." Eifel was distracted and described what he saw.

"Oh!" Alan Wilson bowed his head, today is the summer solstice on June 21. According to the previous agreement with Mikhailovich, the refugees on the Austrian border will cross the border the day after tomorrow night, and they should be known by the generals of various countries during the daytime military parade of the Soviet Union.

What kind of fruit this midsummer flower will bloom will be known in due time.
