British civil servant

Alan Wilson smiled and said, "Although the Indians may not believe it, but now is India's most glorious time, and it may be a bit imprecise. Before this war, India was at its most glorious time."

As long as you use a grand narrative to summarize, you are in a different country and look at other countries completely differently.

In the eyes of others, Britain is the place where the industrial revolution originated, and the empire on which the sun never sets across the world. World dominance for 200 years.

In Alan Wilson's eyes, the United Kingdom, the independence of British India, the independence of British Sudan, and the independence of British Nigeria, is a rapidly declining future.

Decades later, the self in the eyes of a certain big country was defeated in the Opium War, humiliated for a hundred years, ceded land for compensation, defeated in the Sino-Japanese War, and civil war for decades.

A certain big country in the eyes of others, the last dynasty expanded all the way and swallowed Zhungeer, with a population of 300 million and an expansion of [-] million. .The winner of World War I, the winner of World War II, went to war with the United States, India, and the Soviet Union, with the second largest economy in the world, and then muttered that this century-old shame will be a shame.

Both of these scenarios are true, purely depending on how you look at them.What Britain did in the colonial era was no more excessive than those countries in the agricultural era, but this era has recorded all the bad things Britain has done.

But now, at least here in India, Britain can finally take advantage of this war to rest from the list of the number one enemy in India's eyes.Even if Nehru was still wary of Britain, he couldn't change the simple thinking of the Indian people. How could they forget it immediately after being beaten?

The news of the arrival of the British delegation in New Delhi spread quickly in this already independent country, and Rabo Butler received a huge welcome. India, which fell from the peak to the bottom, remembered the goodness of Britain.

On the way to the Windsor Castle Hotel in New Delhi, countless Indians, men, women and children, all stared at the convoy of the British delegation. At this time, they were bewildered and could only pin their hopes on Britain thousands of miles away.

Entering the hotel, Allen Wilson went straight into the reserved room and knocked on the door. The door was opened, and Heidi Rama opened the door and dragged the man in.

"Didn't you wear the classic robe?" Alan Wilson laughed straight, "This is New Delhi, the place where our fate began, but it is very commemorative."

"You're the one who talks a lot." Heidi Lamarr rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson and muttered in a low voice, "It means that I am obedient to you, no matter where you go, I will not accompany you with complaints."

"Yes, you have worked hard." While speaking, Alan Wilson had already embraced Heidi Lamarr and admitted his mistake. "I was wrong. Any complaints in front of you are a blasphemy against your hard work."

"That's about the same!" Heidi Lama seemed to be relieved, feeling that her hard work was not in vain.

After a long journey, the two decided to take a bath and relax before throwing themselves into the intense work.

"It's really surprising to come to New Delhi this time. Didn't you say that you won't come in the future?" Heidi Rama lay weakly in the man's arms, her face was flushed, and she obviously hadn't recovered yet.

"It's different now. I didn't come here because I have some grievances here. It's different now, other countries have replaced the status of the United Kingdom." Lighting a cigarette, Alan Wilson said with an intoxicated face, "Then now that something has changed, I don't have to avoid the opportunity to come to India."

Today, Alan Wilson can restore the true colors of the old friend of the Indian people, stand on the side of India confidently, and seek benefits for the United Kingdom.

"But what about the large fleet assembled by you in the UK?" Heidi Rama asked suddenly as if remembering something.

"They have something to do." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, and the broken window effect was about to appear.It is no wonder that the British are not up to date, and it will naturally affect Indians in other places.

Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is the core of British Africa once planned by the United Kingdom. Like other British colonies, there is a huge Indian community here. The Indian population in Kenya is 40.

The news of India's defeat came across the ocean, which immediately shocked the Indian community here.Countless Indians took to the streets of Nairobi to express solidarity with their home country.These people were very excited and could not wait to leave and go back to the country to join the war.

This caused the British troops stationed in Kenya to stand on guard and dare not board the ship according to the plan. Instead, they took a vigilant attitude to protect the white community. What would happen to an alien group in a strange place if they did not regard themselves as locals?

The riot just happened, and the whole Nairobi was full of smoke. The blacks regarded the Indians as the accomplices of the white colonists. With the presence of the British army, they did not dare to do anything to the whites.But not so polite to Indians.

In the urban area of ​​Nairobi, the Kenyans who had been screaming and killing for a long time, launched zero-dollar purchases for these foreign Indians. Riots broke out in every block. No one knew the reason or how it started.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, the British army in Kenya withdrew its all-out efforts to defend the white community. At the same time, it contacted the British Royal Navy fleet in the open sea and demanded to suppress the riots in Kenya.

At this time, the Indian community was in a raging fire, and the Kenyans who succeeded in zero-dollar purchases tasted the sweetness and were completely immersed in the joy of zero-dollar purchases. The army shot and killed them directly, and quickly concentrated on finding trouble with Indians.

There must always be a reason for the Royal Navy's inability to arrive on time, otherwise, would Indian nationalists think that Britain is not working hard?Of course Alan Wilson knew that it was a fact that he did not work hard, but Britain could not admit this.

What can be done to cover the mouths of Indian nationalists so that they cannot think of picking peaches in the UK?Then we can only suffer for the Indian people.

As a British gentleman, Alan Wilson really didn't want to make such a bad move, so he told the Malaya side to keep an eye on it. As for Kennedy, because of the complicated social environment, the UK has recently rushed to help India, so he relaxed his vigilance. It is normal to have a little mistake.

The riots in Kenya immediately aroused the response of the Royal Navy, and the plan to rush thousands of miles to help India had to be temporarily terminated.

The top priority now is to restore calm in Kenya. At the same time, London officially informed the causes and consequences of the riots in Kenya, and said that this may be a broken window effect.

The broken window effect believes that if the bad phenomena in the environment are allowed to exist, it will induce people to follow suit and even intensify.Take a building with a few broken windows, if those windows are not repaired, there may be more windows damaged by vandals.Eventually they'll even break into buildings, and if found unoccupied, perhaps settle there or set fire to them.

On a wall, if there are some graffiti that are not cleaned off, the wall will soon be covered with messy and unsightly things.

This effect, of course, was summed up by Sir Wilson, a famous British scholar and the current executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After receiving the news, Allen Wilson informed Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler of the fact of the riots in Nairobi, and pushed the root cause of the riots to the defeat of India, which led to the anger of Indians, which in turn led to the dissatisfaction of local blacks in Kenya, resulting in This riot happened.

"Is there no problem with the white community?" Rabo Butler asked nervously.

"From the current point of view, there is no problem!" Alan Wilson took a reassurance for Rabo Butler, "But I am afraid that other colonies will follow suit. It seems that from the moment India was defeated, it will not affect many things in the world. It’s the same. We must pay special attention to the movements of Aden, Mauritius and even other colonies.”

Alan Wilson said with a responsible attitude that this matter was entrusted to him. Rabo Butler was still preparing for a diplomatic trip with Nehru. He said it lightly, but he knew very well that the biggest broken window effect had not yet begun. Woolen cloth.

For example, Pakistan, the other protagonist of the Partition of India, watched India being beaten to death with his own eyes, didn't he have any thoughts in his heart?After the Partition of India and Pakistan, the two countries were a pair of suffering brothers.

After this war, India will think that it should find a country with a strong army as foreign aid. Although Britain and the United States are strong, they are not good at land warfare, and the mainland is indeed too far away from India.

Is this a coincidence?Pakistan also thinks so, and there is no need to weigh who to look for like India.Pakistan borders a certain big country, so there is no need to think about it, an all-weather ally is ready-made.

Even if the United States puts pressure on it, it is useless. The United States is far away in the sky. How can it be more practical to have strong assistance right in front of us?

Pakistan has become more courageous, and that is the real broken window effect, not the current riot in Nairobi, Kenya, where it is not known how many people died.

When Rabo Butler and Nehru met for the first time, with a heavy heart, he informed the former powerful Prime Minister Nehru of the tragedy that happened in British Kenya, and said that the United Kingdom will definitely handle it well and guarantee The safety of these Indians.

"The world is really impermanent!" Alan Wilson sighed, wondering if he was replicating this in Mauritius?Don't be too harsh. The second largest ethnic group in Mauritius is of French descent. It's really annoying.

The first thousand and 190 chapters and seven arms sales orders

Because of his status as an assistant to the British Indian Commissioner, Alan Wilson is still not suitable to show his face at this time, but it doesn't matter, he can still control Rabo Butler.

In the final analysis, Rabo Butler is just one person, and the rest of the diplomatic team are all executive deputy ministers.

This does not mean that Alan Wilson is fine. He has come to the place where he once lived and fought. The apartment he lived in has many fond memories of him. Taking the precious time to experience the customs of India, the Indians responded with a kind smile to this white man's face.

Back at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Dixon called Alan Wilson's room, "Prime Minister Nehru was deeply shocked by what happened in Kenya, and also expressed his understanding for the delay of the Royal Navy's trip, the minister and Nehru's conversation It's still going well."

"Have you discussed the issue of the British pound? What is the attitude of the Indians?" Alan Wilson held the microphone between his arms and put Heidi Rama in his arms. Precious, wasting time is wasting life.

"According to our information, India is still open to pound settlement." Dixon replied solemnly.

"Anyway, people have sent out the battle report, and the war is over. The advanced equipment of the nine brigades should not be delayed." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. Although the Royal Navy is temporarily unable to come, aid can still be sent first. Anyway, at present Not even the Strait of Gibraltar.

"By the way, the executive deputy ministers, Moscow and Washington, have also expressed their intention to assist India. The minister may discuss this issue with you at night." Dixon reported as if he remembered something.

"Thank you, I'll hang up first." Alan Wilson put down the microphone, tilted his head and looked at Heidi Lamarr who was just being funny.

Heidi Lamarr shyly and timidly withdrew her bare hand, and said to him from left to right, "You Brits seem to have a morbid obsession with the pound."

"It seems that the French don't pay much attention to the franc." Alan Wilson answered calmly, "A stable and reliable currency can help the issuing country a lot. This is the charm of financial hegemony."

The currencies of many countries are actually worthless and cannot impact financial hegemony at all. There are not many currencies in this world that can be called stable.

The currency of most countries is anchored by the US dollar. What is its real state?Taking Brazil and Argentina as examples, the total economic volume of Brazil was [-] trillion reais in [-], and [-] trillion reais ten years later.

If calculated in Brazilian currency, Brazil’s ten-year economic aggregate has doubled, but international trade is calculated in US dollars, Brazil’s real is not recognized by other countries, Brazil’s population has not grown much in ten years, and per capita gdp It was also cut in half because Brazil's currency has devalued against the US dollar.

This is not just a problem for Brazil. Argentina, Russia, Saudi Arabia and other countries that export a large amount of primary agricultural products and various resources have no pricing power, so changes in per capita gdp are almost entirely dependent on exchange rates and international market prices.

A large number of products from these countries need to be imported.In international trade, the main settlement currency is the US dollar.When the exchange rate of their country falls, it means that they have to spend more money to buy the same product.

When the price of raw materials is high, the currency of the resource country will be strong, and vice versa.When Apple IV entered Brazil, it was sold for [-] reais, and when it came to Apple [-], it was sold for [-] reals.

If a certain big country is like Brazil, because the industry cannot support a stable currency, according to the trajectory of Brazil, everyone will welcome an Apple XIII with a price of 2 yuan. I believe that the determination to cut the kidney will be firm. few.

Alan Wilson happened to have experienced the era before the explosion of counterfeit mobile phones. With the income of his parents at that time, the mobile phone at that time was [-] Hexuan, and he definitely didn't want to buy it.

Mobile phones are just an example, and this example can be used in any field.For most countries, as long as your country does not have this industry, you will be cut off no matter what you do.

Many countries can't even cope with the tide of the dollar. What kind of development is this talking about?Russia's resources are enough to fill the periodic table of elements, and it is absolutely gifted in terms of resources. The economy has already doubled in terms of rubles, but when it is attacked by the dollar, the ruble immediately plummets.

Russia's industry cannot be compared with that of the Soviet Union, but it is already considered very strong among resource-rich countries. It is disgraced, and ordinary countries can still see it?

However, some of Russia's legacy industries from the Soviet Union can make Russia more capable than ordinary resource countries.This led to the growth of the local currency and the collapse of the dollar calculation.

Statistics can't decide everything, it depends on how you look at it. If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, when Russia was the worst in dollar terms, the national economy was not as large as Greece. Anyway, he didn't believe this statistic.

In terms of finance, Alan Wilson is not even as good as the accountant next to his wife. He can only say that financial hegemony is very important and answer it from some industries.

Take the Asian pound issued by Malaya as an example, it is a weak currency compared with the British pound.

It is also a strong currency, compared with neighboring South Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar.

Weakness compared to the British pound is that the UK has financial hegemony, and it is much easier to be stronger than the currencies of other countries. Just last year, it just surpassed the U.S. Steel Company, with an annual production capacity of 500 million tons, ranking first in the world in Kuching Steel Base , Even the 500 million tons of production capacity of a big country with great reputation can be crushed, not to mention other wine bags and rice bags.

Nehru was also justified in being wary of Britain. Britain had not yet withdrawn from Asia, and Malaya was not far from India.And in the foreseeable future, Alan Wilson has no plans to quit.

He really wanted to know which future prime minister with a grand blueprint would dare to let the increasingly important Malaya become independent.

"At the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' meeting next month, all Commonwealth countries will come together and come up with a comprehensive plan to express their support for India."

On the radio, Rabo Butler's latest speech was being broadcast. This real-time broadcast reflected Britain's firm support for India. At the same time, it unilaterally announced that Nehru, who had just been disheartened, would be on a bigger stage.

The British diplomatic mission has not yet left New Delhi. The first batch of aid from the United States and the Soviet Union, the almost negligible armaments that are better than nothing, have been delivered to New Delhi.

The three giants of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union served only one person in India in World War II. Is this a small blessing?Britain took out the loyal and reliable Lee Enfield rifle. As the former suzerain country, Britain was embarrassed to only use this weapon to prevaricate India.

Rabo Butler returned to the hotel and said, "Nehru wants a main battle tank and ask the UK to help develop it."

"Dear minister, we should promise the Indians." Alan Wilson replied immediately after hearing this, "I believe the military will be satisfied with this."

"Will this cause a chain reaction?" Rabo Butler thinks, will this make a certain big country feel that the United Kingdom has intervened too much, which will lead to danger in Hong Kong, an important free port in the United Kingdom.

"In any case, we should all stand on the side of India." Allen Wilson firmly wanted to facilitate the deal.

Is there a need for tanks at the battle location?Who drives tanks on the roof of the world?Driving a jeep in that place might be even more useful.

India's requirements are obvious, and it has committed the problem of piling up important equipment and being top-heavy.It will definitely follow the old path of more tanks than armored vehicles and more armored vehicles than artillery.

Why didn't the UK agree?If the UK didn't respond, wouldn't the Soviet Union be the cheap one?Soviet tanks are much more reliable than British tanks, and throughout the Cold War cycle, Soviet tanks were on the side of the free world.

British tanks also have the usual problems of free world tanks, such as adapting to the European Great Plains, and having the characteristics of thin skin and big stuffing. Since the Indians need it, as the former suzerain country, the UK has no reason to refuse.

"We should inform the Prime Minister of the good news immediately." Alan Wilson was about to leave, and Heidi Lamarr was still waiting, and he couldn't make people wait.

For India, Alan Wilson can be said to have paid too much. He even came to the Indian Ministry of Defense in person during his busy schedule, and met with Menon, the Indian Defense Minister who has not been dismissed yet but has entered the countdown of his official career.

For the Minister of Defense who was bitten by a snake while playing with snakes under the roof of the world, Alan Wilson did not rub salt on the wound. After all, the other party has lived in London for 27 years and worked as a Malaysian in Alan Wilson When he was the High Commissioner for Asia, Menon was also the High Commissioner in London, that is, the ambassador to the United Kingdom.

At this time, Menon was in a state of despair, which was in stark contrast to the high-spirited two months ago, but he still talked about the British-Indian military cooperation with great energy.

While Alan Wilson was talking about tank procurement with the other party, the BBC specifically found the home of the former Chief of Staff of the Indian Army, General Timaya, and started an in-depth interview. , the promotion of local generals led to the conclusion of defeat.

The operation of pulling down Menon and shaping Admiral Timaya to take office has already begun.

Later, Britain and India announced at the same time that they would jointly develop a new generation of main battle tanks to deal with threats. In fact, they used the British Chieftain tank to adapt it to the customs of India. After the assets are available, the parts will be provided by the UK and assembled in India.

Depending on the situation, India will purchase about [-] to [-] vehicles as the main battle equipment of the Indian Army.An Air Force procurement contract was announced at the same time.

"Dad is the only good thing in the world." Alan Wilson whistled, and it was time to rest after a tiring day.

The first thousand 190 eight chapters the world is very realistic

"Hey, I'm so happy, it's as if I've successfully tricked the little girl's body." As soon as he entered the door, the smug executive deputy chief faced Heidi Lamarr's ridicule.

"Heidi, what are you talking about. I am loyal to you, how can any little girl compare to you?" Alan Wilson straightened his face, expressing that Heidi Lama is the only sun in his heart at this time.

The corners of Heidi Rama's mouth were slightly raised, and she said noncommittally to the man's words, "Oh, well, I'm an ordinary woman who is not in the limelight, but I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. It seems that Hepburn will be out of action for a year, right? How is she doing recently? ?”

It's not normal for a female star to die at the age of popularity, but others just find it strange.

But Heidi Lamarr not only felt strange, she also took a rest during childbirth, and she understood the process very well.

She guessed that just as the popular Hepburn disappeared, the main thing she was busy with was finding a place to have a baby.Although she didn't know what method Alan Wilson used to make Hepburn make such a big sacrifice, she felt that it was the case most likely.

Alan Wilson's face turned red and white, and he felt a rare feeling of embarrassment. He leaned forward and whispered, "Heidi, look, I'm running around for my career..."

"Maybe I should forgive you." Heidi Lamarr followed Alan Wilson's words and borrowed the donkey to let the man hug her body. "You are just like most men, who like beautiful women. Isn't it? Then do you think I'm pretty? Don't you want to do something to me?"

Of course I thought about it, not only thinking about it, but Alan Wilson also took action to express his apology to Heidi Lamarr.

Alan Wilson has always been brave and good at fighting, and he has a good balance between public and private, especially when he got two big contracts, it is even more brave. The significance of the tank order is naturally needless to say.

Orders for fighter jets are also a huge gain, and Allen Wilson doesn't look down on the high-altitude and high-speed second-generation aircraft.He feels that the second-generation machine, which is generally not highly rated by later generations, is indeed a very embarrassing excessive existence.

But if everyone else has it, what if you don’t?There must always be a reason, and this reason Alan Wilson couldn't figure it out.This is not something he can fool around with the words of a civil servant.

For this reason, he thought hard and recommended the technology of the TSR.2 attack aircraft to Sweden, and borrowed this offshore balancer second only to the United Kingdom in Europe to conduct technical verification for the United Kingdom and accumulate experience for the next generation of fighter jets.

Now that there is demand again in India, that's great, it's almost sleepy sending pillows.Although Hindustan Aeronautics is famous for killing aviation manufacturers all over the world.

But Alan Wilson doesn't think this is a problem. In his eyes, the second-generation machine itself is an excessive generation.It is better for the UK to control the scale of the equipment. If the Indians want to perform a plane crash, that is India's freedom.

Besides, India has its own national conditions here. It is certainly impossible to drop only British aircraft, and fighter jets from other countries will also be dropped.Everyone was thrown, which can only show that it is India's own problem.

Of course, Alan Wilson will never agree to a real sharp weapon. For example, he copied the shell of Apache and made the British Tiger gunship. According to the response from North Rhodesia, it is really useful. , plagiarized a boutique.

The UK itself is not enough to use it. You must know that Europe is facing the huge armor cluster of the Soviet Union. How can it be given to India?
