British civil servant

Going deep into the enemy's nest without being humble or overbearing. On the issue of the Rohingya, he did not bow his head in the face of the pressure of the Congress Party.It has aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life in Myanmar, and he is simply a national hero.

There is also Alan Wilson's insignificant contribution, so he also got an understanding from Aung San, that is, before the British India is officially independent, the affairs of Burma will wait first, and be patient enough not to let London handle the affairs of the two colonies at the same time. Work independently.

If Aung San can give the British Empire a little time without anyone else, Alan Wilson is willing to write an article himself, enumerating ten aspects in which General Aung San is more of a national hero than Gandhi.

After the departure of General Aung San and the representatives of the three countries, only Nehru and Patel are the most suitable candidates for the current lively affairs, and they have also been recognized by London as the candidate for the Deputy Prime Minister of British India.

This is the case for Indians. The British civil servants in the Governor's Palace don't think so. General Mountbatten has talked with Ali Jinnah several times, and he has tacitly agreed in his heart that Ali Jinnah's will to make Pakistan independent will never change. Know that the partition of India and Pakistan is a foregone conclusion.

In the talks with Mountbatten, Ali Jinnah repeatedly stated his point of view, now that British India has surpassed the stage of bargaining, the only way is to form Pakistan.

"In the situation where the eastern and western ends of Pakistan are separated by India, the country will split sooner or later." Governor Mountbatten expressed his views on the future situation of the subcontinent when Sir Barron and Alan Wilson were both present.

"I have also talked with Ali Jinnah about this matter, and it is almost unchangeable. But the leaders of the Muslim League don't care, why should we worry about it?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth and told Governor Mountbatten that he and Ali Jinnah talked about this kind of problem.

Talking is talking, there is no solution, and Alan Wilson cannot ignore the objective fact. This objective fact is that East Pakistan, also known as Bangladesh, actually has the best nation-state foundation in South Asia.

If something happens to India, such as a civil war, East and West Bangladesh will become one country, and Bangladesh will become a South Asian hegemon. If ethnic issues can overwhelm religious issues, Bangladesh's achievements will be limitless.

However, this possibility is too small. Bangladesh has not yet had the strength to take back West Bengal from India and complete national unification into a nation-state.

"East Pakistan is just one of the problems. The problem of the Northwest Frontier Province will also lead to wars between the two countries after the division in the future." Governor Mountbatten thought for a while and added, "There is also Kashmir, which is most likely to cause trouble. I heard that Nepal Helu's hometown is Kashmir?"

"Yes, Honorable Governor." Sir Baron smiled meaningfully and asked, "Does the Governor want to deal with this issue?"

"No, I don't have that idea. That's the problem of the National Congress Party and the Muslim League." Mountbatten smiled like an old fox, and the new chaotic question suggested that the Northwest Frontier Province should also have the freedom to choose independence, but Think it must be.

Obviously, it is in the interests of the former suzerain country to leave some hidden dangers for the former colonies.At the same time, it will satisfy some British people who are unwilling to withdraw from the colony with some kind of schadenfreude pleasure.

"Very far-sighted idea, Honorable Governor." Sir Barron laughed heartily. If British India had not entered the track of independence, he believed that Governor Mountbatten would become a very good Governor. What a pity.

At the time when key politicians in the subcontinent were having a carnival, arguing over whether Nehru or Patel would become the deputy prime minister of British India, the basis for the future division of British India into two countries had already been settled in the Governor's Office .

As an old friend of Pakistan, Alan Wilson was still thinking about whether to disclose it to Ali Jinnah to make the founding father of Pakistan happy. Edel, the secretary of the commissioner, knocked on the door and came in to report, "Some representatives of American pharmaceutical companies came to Calcutta and said yes Investigate the sanitation situation in British India, and hope that the British and Indian government can provide help."

"Huh? What are the Americans here for?" Governor Mountbatten, who has become one of our people, asked with doubts on his face.

"Leave this matter to me. Reception work? I'm better at it!" Alan Wilson said proactively, anyway, Sir Barron would definitely arrange for him to do it.No one knows better than him what the people from the American pharmaceutical company are here for.

Chapter 339

Merck Group, which has the right to produce streptomycin, was founded in 350 and has a history of [-] years. Its headquarter is located in Darmstadt, Germany. The group is mainly committed to innovative pharmaceuticals.

Originating as a pharmaceutical company in Germany, Merck established a branch in New York due to the success of its export business in the United States.In [-], Merck's American branch was formally established.Merck's American branch was confiscated by the United States during World War I.has become an independent company.Today, the two companies share the same name but are otherwise unrelated.

Otherwise, as a junior, the United States also has a place to learn from the British Empire.Such was the case with the seizure of German companies taking advantage of the world war.

Alan Wilson remembers that because of patent issues, Britain used the patents of the Krupp Group during the First World War. After the end of the First World War, which suffered heavy casualties, it also paid the patents to Krupp after the war. fee, then what?World War II was fought again.

For the Merck Group in the United States, the only thing Alan Wilson remembers is the promotion of hepatitis B vaccine in China.From this point of view, the Merck Group is naturally contributing, but the premise is that China actually has the technology of hepatitis B vaccine. On the premise of the research technology of hepatitis B vaccine, Merck Group promoted the hepatitis B vaccine after entering China.

As early as the 70s, Tao Qimin developed the hepatitis B vaccine, but the efforts and speed of promotion were not enough, and there was no advertisement, let alone the popularity.The United States is a country with a very mature market economy, good at using commercial promotion and advertising.

According to international practice, the hepatitis B vaccine must be inoculated to gorillas before it can be vaccinated in humans.But in the 70s, the experimental conditions at that time were poor, and we couldn't afford gorillas.The research team uses their own bodies to conduct experiments and take risks to develop vaccines.

On the premise that they have alternative technologies, pharmaceutical companies do not exist to sit back and watch everyone die for the sake of money.This can be seen from the example of hepatitis B vaccine.

After Merck entered China, the promotion of hepatitis B vaccine was based on this premise.It cannot be said that there is no contribution. The promotion of vaccines with a large amount of funds has contributed, but it is far less noble than imagined.

But now, British India does not have this technology, so Merck Group has to pull down to do drugs.Merck Group, which has the right to produce streptomycin, certainly did not come here to make drugs this time.

The purpose of coming here is naturally attracted by the cost-saving drug trials.Now that two world wars have been fought, it seems that the United States has just stepped onto the stage of world hegemony, so it can't be shit on its own, laughing at me every day that Britain is resourceless and the Soviet Union is less intelligent.

After World War II, the United States also began to pay attention to the issue of national image that was not paid attention to before.Large-scale drug trials also have a series of regulations, but they also come with rising risks, which is a big burden on pharmaceutical companies.

But isn't there Alan Wilson, the civil servant who is always ready to do something for the world?To measure India's material resources, to meet the favor of pharmaceutical companies, and to be in a hurry to solve this problem for Merck.

Anyway, people in British India live in chaos, and they don't even know they are alive. The obvious advantage of low human rights is very suitable for drug testing and making contributions to the world.

In the 21st century, India, as a country that still preserves the diversity of diseases that have been eliminated all over the world, is naturally unique. Half of the world's tuberculosis deaths are enough to prove that India is a powerful country.

There are many infectious diseases that have been eliminated in other countries in India in later generations, and they have caused troubles for other countries.For example, the smallpox outbreak in the Soviet Union in the 50s.

Soviet artist Alexei Kokolykin returned from India and landed in Moscow with symptoms of a moderate cold, but the cold weather seemed normal to many people.However, on the same night, Kokorykin's body temperature soared, and he developed symptoms of severe cough and general pain.

The next day, he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with the flu.However, the prescription drugs prescribed by the doctor did not help, and Kokolykin also developed a rash all over his body, but it was diagnosed as an allergy.

However, a young doctor cautiously suggested that such symptoms might be caused by smallpox after learning that the patient had traveled to India, but her suggestion was not adopted.

Alexey Kokolykin died at the end of the month after several days in the same room as other flu patients, while doctors did not discover the real cause of his death.

But shortly after Kokolykin's death, several other patients at the hospital developed similar symptoms: fever, cough and rash.The hospital hurriedly invited experts, and the final conclusion was shocking: smallpox broke out in Moscow.

Fact check, while in India, Alexey Kokolykin attended the cremation of a friend who had just died, and he even touched the body of the deceased.There, "Patient Zero" was stricken with the deadly disease.

Half a month later, the news about the smallpox epidemic was reported to the Soviet leaders, and Moscow immediately mobilized all resources including hospitals, clinics, police and the famous KGB to search for potentially dangerous carriers in Moscow 24 hours a day.

Everyone who met and talked with Kokolykin, who contacted him and who received gifts from him brought back from India, even 150 who sat in the classroom with Kokolykin's daughter Valeria All college students were taken to the hospital.

During the period, more than 9000 people were forced to quarantine, and according to a special decree, the hospital where "patient zero" saw a doctor was blocked, and a large number of emergency reserves for war situations have been allowed to be used.

The entire health sector was mobilized, from medical staff to medical students, in the fight against the smallpox epidemic.They are working day and night to find any suspected pathogens and sanitize the entire city.

The decisive measure to prevent the spread of smallpox is to vaccinate all residents of the Moscow region. For this reason, the Soviet Union requires all Muscovites, even those who are dying, to be vaccinated. In the following week, more than 950 million people were vaccinated. This is an unprecedented action in history.

Therefore, large-scale infectious diseases are actually useless to the countries of the Soviet system. If the countries of the Soviet system in Eastern Europe are still there, severe infectious diseases can only spread to half the world at best, and the other half of the world will be different. Live well.Fulfilling what Khrushchev said, "We will bury you..."

Such an excellent virus petri dish is the best place to test various drugs, and Alan Wilson has full confidence in this.

After finding a place, Alan Wilson met with Merck Group's marketing manager Ronald Koeman. With an expression on his face, he welcomed Merck Group's trip to British India.

During the entire meeting, he expressed his admiration for the pharmaceutical company that has made outstanding contributions to the world. This is an industry that accounts for nearly one-fifth of the US national GDP in the 21st century.What is the world's largest military expenditure is nothing more than sprinkling water, and the medical industry is really needed to save the country by industry.

This kind of industry is worthy of Alan Wilson's admiration. He dare not say that everyone is afraid of death, but there are definitely a small number of people who are afraid of death.If an industry can make a lot of money, the industry will definitely develop. There is no doubt that Merck is such a company.

He even thinks that Pamela Mountbatten should think about it and go to Germany to see if he can hunt down the talent of a medical company. It would be a pity if such a big industry doesn't work hard. It is definitely better than any airliner.

After the two parties sat down, Alan Wilson heard Ronald's purpose of coming to British India, and immediately said that the environment here is very suitable, "I respect Mr. Ronald, it can be said that I have traveled all over the world, and there is no more suitable place for medical companies than this place." The results are here, and I guarantee with my personality that everything I said is true."

"Oh?" Ronald was noncommittal, and had to admit that this was the purpose of his coming to British India.The stage of drug testing is already a stage of overinvestment for domestic pharmaceutical companies in the United States.Moreover, after Roosevelt's New Deal, some things that could be done many years ago are not so convenient to do now.

If there is a major medical accident, even a pharmaceutical company like Merck Group will not easily get out of it.

What's more, pharmaceutical companies are also companies that give confidence to living people in a sense. What if there is a major medical accident?This is a huge blow to the company's image.

Alan Wilson just mentioned this too, "Drug trials often require a large number of volunteers. If something happens, it is a major medical malpractice. Not to mention the huge compensation, for a pharmaceutical company, once the image is damaged When it comes time to hit and be remembered, it's not about the money."

"British India doesn't have this problem. Merck Group came to British India to save lives. If you don't come, these Indians will die of other diseases. You are here to save India. Even if there is an extreme Small incidents, things here will not be passed on to the local people, and no American will know."

Alan Wilson's words can be said to have reached the heart of the representatives of the Le Merck Group. This is the purpose of their willingness to come in person. Although what they said was very appetizing, Ronald still pretended to be reserved, "Mainly It’s saving lives.”

"Yes, yes, the main purpose is to save lives and heal the wounded. The people of the subcontinent urgently need you to save lives and heal the wounded." Alan Wilson immediately followed the other party's words, emphasizing the significance of saving lives and healing the wounded.

3 Forty Chapters Indians' Right to Know

"However, friends who believe in close allies also understand that the British Indian government has made a huge contribution to this matter." In addition to farting rainbow farts on the God of Wealth, Alan Wilson also entered the topic.

As a man of his word, Alan Wilson upholds a belief, that is, to take money to do things.But conversely, it can also be said that if you don’t collect money, you won’t do anything.

I believe that Merck Group can also understand the difficulties of the current colonial government, and he does not want to let go of any opportunity to generate income.

"Dear Mr. Allen, of course we understand this." Ronald Koeman gave a look that I understand. A company that needs image like a pharmaceutical company usually has a lot of dealings with the government.

It is a felony in the United States to accept money for affairs. Generally, indirect means are used to arrange for relatives to join the company, or to give honorary consultant positions.

But it doesn't mean that Americans are against taking money to do things. In fact, as long as they can show efficiency, American companies can't do as the Romans do, and bribe in the name of some foundation.

The money from the charitable foundation has been given to you. If you withhold the money, that is your problem, not our problem.

Now British India belongs to the transitional period for the handover between the British and the Indians. It would be best if things can be finalized.

However, Ronald Koeman raised a question. If the Indians take power in the future, they will not deny the drug testing plan set by the British Indian colonial government.

This is what Ronald Coman is worrying about. As Alan Wilson said, ordinary Indians simply don’t know they are alive. There are extensive areas in the subcontinent, and there are no grassroots organizations at all. They are all local Brahmins. count.

Even if something really happened, it will not be reported. He absolutely has a say in this point. His most powerful subordinate, Hyderabad Commissioner Alisa, has caused many villages that interfered and obstructed the work to disappear. No, nothing happened.

"Of course we believe in Mr. Allen, but out of caution, we want to consider it in British India. We may need your help. Don't worry, we will bear the cost of hiring personnel ourselves."

Ronald Koeman finally stated that if it can be proved that what Alan Wilson said is true, saving lives and healing the wounded is definitely not a problem.Who let pharmaceutical companies do the industry that saves lives and heals the wounded?

Alan Wilson understands this kind of behavior, but also hints at his indispensable role from the side, revealing, "Last year I led the revision of the health bill, which can be regarded as a negligible contribution to the health of Indians."

At this time, to talk about what happened last year is to tell Merck Group that if you leave yourself, the other party may not be able to play well.

He can leave a back door in the health bill so that everyone can make money together, or he can block the back door so that no one can make money. Whether this can be done is entirely up to him.

Although the performance was a little too greedy, Ronald Koeman also understood the important role that the person in front of him could play.

The next step is the regular link, the US dollar is exchanged for rupees. According to relevant laws and regulations, British Indian dollars are not in circulation, and Indians do not know US dollars. It is more convenient to use rupees in the countryside.

It is better to put the dollars in the hands of these Merck members in the hands of a reliable person. Alan Wilson is that reliable person, and his iron box is absolutely safe.

He can only use his hands and feet in this area. The follow-up big head is public property, and it must be shared with Sir Barron, as well as the local Sir Edward and Norman, and must not be monopolized.

Allen Wilson took this style to the fullest, immediately expressed his importance to Merck, and hired guards to protect the pharmaceutical company from inspecting British India, which showed very high efficiency.

In front of Ronald Koeman and others, he proudly introduced in a colonial tone, "These Indians are hardworking Indians, who rarely get angry, rarely quarrel, and are very able to bear hardships and stand hard work. Before the arrival of the British , these Indians are liars, heartless people, murderers and robbers, and often kill their enemies in their sleep. The British Empire partly changed these barbarous customs, but these natives More or less they still maintain their habit of robbing farms and stealing livestock."

"But don't worry, these guys are absolutely loyal to their hires. Just maintain a minimum of respect and nothing will happen. I know that very well. The leader to guide these Indians, I will help pick from Hyderabad , the local commissioner is my most trusted subordinate.”

Alan Wilson also mobilized a batch of materials and provided them to Merck's expedition team at a discounted price, carrying instruments, food, travelers' luggage, weapons, ammunition, triangulation tools, such as portable iron towers used to measure the bottom edge, poles, Reflectors, tripods, etc., and finally, the belongings of a hundred men in the escort.The Bushmen's food consisted mainly of biltong.

Not to mention just investigating the customs of British India, even a professional field adventure is nothing more than that.

This is not just the style of collecting money to do things, but also has something to do with the general environment. You must know that once September, after London announced the appointment of the Deputy Prime Minister of British India, British India will officially enter the handover stage. If you don't leave, you might as well be generous in front of the Americans.

For this reason, Allen Wilson has printed a lot of money recently, not only being generous to the Americans, but also generous to the Indians he employs.Sometimes when you think about it, even Jesus was alive.

This is all that Merck is going to inspect all over the British India. They will evaluate whether Alan Wilson's words are true, look at different races and living habits, the prevalence of diseases, and whether they have superior conditions for drug testing sites.

Alan Wilson said that the ethnic distribution of British India is different, and it is best to go to South India to see.

It was a novel experience for the Americans, walking side by side with the Indian escorts, talking and arguing.Quite a few people would often separate from the expedition, sometimes walking on the flanks of the team, sometimes rushing several miles ahead of the team-when the endless plains opened up in front of them.

Americans' pursuit of freedom is boiling, and they want to do something to let themselves go in this other world.

If Alan Wilson knew that Americans thought so, he might regret that he should have transferred Andy later. In this regard, his subordinate who did not pay prostitutes was more suitable for this kind of work.

There is nothing to hide from Sir Barron about this matter, and in fact there is nothing to hide. Alan Wilson never eats alone. He is also a person who knows how to share, and understands what money should be taken and what should not be taken.

Like this kind of thing that needs to be effective at the official level, he will not try his best to monopolize it.

Sir Barron was very satisfied with Alan Wilson's concept of sharing, and this subordinate was very reliable.

Although sometimes he is too involved, there are still many advantages, and it is no wonder that many people value him very much.

"During the few days when you received Americans, Gandhi was mediating disputes between Nehru and Patel supporters, and he was giving speeches everywhere, calling for unity at this time." Sir Barron asked Alan Wilson to sit down. Next, he said, "Who do you think is more suitable to lead the future India?"

"It's hard to say, it's like two lunatics leading a mental hospital." Alan Wilson said truthfully, "In international public opinion, many media in different countries believe that India will become a natural leader after independence, but I don’t think so. Except for our own suspicious allies, the only countries that use the Soviet system can pose a threat to us. We just need to do a good job to ensure that India will not become a country like the Soviet Union. In the future, India’s The threat is manageable."

This is what Alan Wilson said from the bottom of his heart. On the issue of the system, the United States and the Soviet Union each have their own problems, and no one can say anything about it. However, the national strength reflected in the Soviet system is far stronger than that of the United States at the same level. .

In other words, at the same level, the Soviet Union looks stronger.This is like the comparison between Britain and Germany before World War I.In fact, many scholars in the UK do not believe that the Soviet Union created a system of government at all.

Instead, the Soviet system is considered a variant of Germany, similar to the period of the Second German Reich.Wilhelm II's Second German Empire was a country supported by Concern groups.

The state enterprises of the Soviet Union can also be regarded as the individual concern groups in Germany.William II was very keen on nationalization. He once wanted to turn the prostitution industry into a state operation, which would make it easier to collect taxes.

It is precisely because of familiarity that European countries do not reject nationalization, which is completely different from the United States across the Atlantic Ocean.

"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to it. Nehru and Patel will have a quarrel." Sir Barron nodded after listening to Alan Wilson's words, "It's a pity that Gandhi is still very good at maintaining unity."

It can be seen that Sir Baron stopped Gandhi, and it is quite regrettable that the dispute between Nehru and Patel expanded.

"Actually, we can disclose the fact that Gandhi met with the governor and let Ali Jinnah form a government to lead India." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, and lowered his voice, "The Indian people don't know what Gandhi said before? Only a part of the top of the Congress Party knows that this is not democratic at all."

"Isn't it good?" Sir Barron was overjoyed, but he held back his smile when he said the words, indicating that this was not a gentleman at all.

"There are so many people in the Governor's Mansion, and this person is so talkative, how do we know who leaked it." Alan Wilson said to himself, "As a future democratic country, Indians have the right to know."

Chapter 341 Gandhi is a traitor

As a paper-maker, Alan Wilson thought he had done everything he could.Of course, this is also inseparable from the full support of the warm family of the British Indian civil servants.

The situation in British India has undergone a slight but definitely beneficial change to the British Empire.Every day of social stability, British India will create a day of wealth for the British Empire.

But is it now?It is also time to return to the traditional divide and rule that governed British India.Under the premise that the independence of British India has become a foregone conclusion, there is nothing wrong with muddying the water and creating some contradictions.

Contradictions already exist, so is it wrong to use them?Accusing the British Empire of using contradictions to maintain the rule of British India, Alan Wilson said that the grapes were sour. No matter how upright and awe-inspiring he was to blame the British country, it was actually the case.

What anti-colonial, anti-imperialist and anti-feudalism!Later, I didn’t look at the countries that supported Indians, what they really did to help India.Of course, when you accuse others, you are justified, but it's your turn and you can't stand it anymore.
