British Civil Servant

Chapter 178: The land of dreams

"Go to British India?" Margaret was startled, but she said, "Congratulations to you, a very relaxed working environment, isn't this what many civil servants dream of?"

There is no sense of retention between the words? Alan Wilson was a little sober when he heard it, and women would be obedient when things were done. It was limited to the far east, and the free society still didn't care about this. At least Iron Maiden doesn't seem to be affected.

"Actually, I thought, well, I'm just here to say hello, nothing else." Alan Wilson opened his mouth and hesitated, "If it can be compensated..."

"There's nothing to make up for, Mr. Allen, it's just a misunderstanding." Margaret said with a frosty face, "I've forgotten it, and I don't want anyone to mention it."

"Okay, I hope you won't be affected." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. The domestic car running-in plan didn't seem feasible. He originally thought that there would be another face-to-face communication.

But I didn't expect that Iron Maiden would not give me a chance at all. Sure enough, the nature of people being annoying is innate. I feel a little lucky to think of Alan Wilson. It's okay for the other party to think so.

"Then, I'm sorry." Alan Wilson nodded apologetically at Iron Lady, turned and left the school.

Seeing Ellen Wilson turn away, Margaret's eyes followed the back until it disappeared, she took a deep breath, and took a few deep breaths to hold back her red eyes.

To be honest, this is very immoral and walking on the edge of the law, which has put a heavy burden on Alan Wilson. Fortunately, this situation can be eased immediately, and the laws of British India are still very loose for the United Kingdom.

Now it is the question of taking office. Alan Wilson received a summons from Alexander Cadogan, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who had returned to London.

"You must apply for a group of diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs on the list to take office together." Alexander Cadogan saw Alan Wilson coming in, and said simply, "I have submitted your submission to Sir Edward. The report, Sir Edward can be said to have given strong support, recently Sir Edward is talking with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary about the assessment of the value of the colony, and can take care of you in your busy schedule, I hope you will not disappoint Sir's expectations."

"Of course, we all know Sir Edward's contribution to this country." Alan Wilson decisively expressed his stance of bowing his head to authority, unaware that the cabinet secretary's information about the value of the colony came from his own hands.

It was also because of his compensatory mentality for reports of prostitution that Edward Bridges recognized the manpower Alan Wilson needed, and gave Allen Wilson the green light all the way.

"What do you think we should do? Philby? I've already inquired about it. This matter was personally approved by the cabinet secretary and cannot be changed at all. Are we really going to Southeast Asia?" Guy Burgess took a drink in distress. , complained bitterly with the smell of alcohol, "We don't know the local area at all, and there seems to be nothing of value in the local area."

"Yeah!" Donald McLean was equally at a loss and could only grumble at his old friend.

"Where are you two going? Don't patronize and complain." Philby lit a cigarette and looked at his two friends. As soon as he heard the decision of the cabinet secretary, he knew that there was almost no change. .

"British Ceylon, British Burma!" Guy Burgess and Donald McLean blurted out almost simultaneously.

"It seems that the Prime Minister wants to solve the problem of British India." Philby said helplessly, "At present, the issue of British India is the biggest controversial topic in Congress. By the way, this time Alan Wilson returned to the UK. It belongs to India because of this matter. Both British Ceylon and British Burma are in the periphery of British India, and sending local diplomats there may be considered to maintain stability.”

Before the British took over, part of Ceylon was originally a colony of the Netherlands, which had been snatched from the Portuguese. Ceylon was on the edge of the Indian subcontinent, but was not part of British India, but was governed by a British Crown Colony under the direct control of London, in a position superior to that of the Indian Empire under the Governor General of India.

As for British Myanmar, it has nothing to do with British India. Although Myanmar joined British India as a province for a short period of time, the signs of independence of British India immediately appeared, which made London change its decision and remove Myanmar from British India. India was separated.

It was Alan Wilson who brought two of the Cambridge Five to Asia in his report. To put it bluntly, Alan Wilson sold more information than the two spies at the Potsdam Conference.

If secrets can change rank, that's fine, Guy Burgess, General! Donald McLean, General! As for Alan Wilson, that would have to be the marshal!

He hoped that the two spies would calm down a little, and what they wanted to betray, Alan Wilson, had already betrayed. A little information is no longer needed by these two people, so hurry up and cooperate with yourself to contribute to the British Empire, don't always think about betraying the country.

The two have extensive sympathy for the tragic colony. This time, the work in India just requires these two sympathetic diplomats to stabilize the situation around India, and Alan Wilson can make a bold move.

In this way, there is no need to stay in London, and always want to sell the secrets of the British Empire to the Soviet Union. Some colonial intelligence, even if they were sold to the Soviet Union by two people, the Soviet Union would not be able to reach it in a short period of time.

Betrayal of the five heroes of Cambridge is a trivial matter psychologically, and Alan Wilson is afraid of being targeted by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs. But keeping two people is not in line with Alan Wilson's patriotism. He can only throw these two people into the corner, so that the two people will lose the value of the request first.

"If I were a cabinet secretary, I would throw all five of you to the United States, one as an ambassador and four as consuls. It's better to pull out all of the American underwear, and then the United States finds out that you are all shot."

Thinking of it this way, Alan Wilson is not an Edward Bridges character and can only take a roundabout approach. Let two people leave the post where they can get access to information first.

In November, after being away from British India for more than half a year, Alan Wilson first sent a telegram, and then officially started the homecoming trip with the newly established Indian affairs team. Save some time by boarding your flight to Egypt and boarding from the Suez Canal.

This is already the route that Alan Wilson has given in. He originally wanted to take the boat all the way. Compared with other people, Alan Wilson carried a huge amount of luggage, with a total of five suitcases.

Among them are the bank certificates of deposit brought to Sir Barron and the eighteen provincial governors, the fourteen state commissioners except the state of Hyderabad, and gifts to Pamela Mountbatten, items that Alan Wilson himself accompanied .

This even caused Guy Burgess to look sideways, "Is it too exaggerated?"

"I have worked in British India, and I have a little understanding of the local area." Alan Wilson calmly opened a suitcase, revealing the nylon stockings inside, then closed the suitcase again without changing his color, and took out a bottle of red wine Changing the subject, "There are still many commendable places in the local area, and Indian movies are very distinctive."

"Really?" Guy Burgess asked with a look that I understand, no longer paying attention to the question of why he wears nylon stockings, and asked with a look of interest, "There are not many Indian movies, so what's worth it? A place of honor."

"Song and dance clips are a feature." Alan Wilson, unaffected by the nylon stockings incident, enthusiastically introduced the features of Indian films to his colleagues.

"In essence, Indian films are currently under the control of the pacifists. After all, compared with the dark skin of the Hindus, the pacifists are more suitable for the big screen. The first sound film in Indian films was called, and then some companies successively invested funds to support sound. The creation of the film. Soon, the sound film, which integrated traditional music, drama and dance performances, overwhelmed the silent film with an absolute advantage and quickly swept the country.”

The singing and dancing scenes are again aggravated because during the war, British India's control was strengthened. Only music and dance films were not restricted, which eventually led to the proliferation of music and dance in Indian films, which became standard in films.

Alan Wilson writes about the development history of Indian cinema. Are there too many musicals? How do you judge this?

The rise of Hallyu in the 21st century seems to have conquered all Asian countries, but its presence in India is extremely low. According to Alan Wilson's idea, Indians who are used to watching every Indian movie can cut out singing and dancing clips should be immune to the singing and dancing mode.

Maybe ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ India wants to imitate the singing and dancing combination, maybe it will become the enemy of the Korean wave. After all, the high caste groups in India are more acceptable in terms of aesthetics.

They are all diplomats who went to India, and they highly recognized Alan Wilson's introduction to the local area and listened with relish.

"Who do you think Ellen prepared so many nylon stockings for?" Donald McKay whispered to Guy Burgess, "You didn't hear him say that many people in India fit the aesthetics of men very well. "

"Are you also interested?" Guy Burgess was very surprised, as far as he knew his friends were not good at this.

"I'm just curious!" Donald Macklay flatly denied, even angry at the suspicion.

After passing the warm Indian Ocean, you can see the land of dreams. As time passed, Alan Wilson not only did not feel depressed due to the boredom of the long voyage, but became more and more energetic.

Finally, the outline of Mumbai's coastline has been vividly experienced, and Alan Wilson looked up into the distance, his eyes full of affection, "I can understand the mood of Columbus back then."
