It was only now that Sir Barron felt in his heart how important it was to nurture his juniors and bring fresh blood into the civil service of the British Empire for the sake of political solidity.

    Alan Wilson, on the other hand, had his own understanding that British India was in every way the jewel in the crown of the Empire, more important than Canada, Australia, or even the former thirteen states of North America, or even any of the other British colonies.

    As for any of the colonies now under the jurisdiction of the British, no matter from any point of view can not be compared with British India, completely is the loss of British India, the self-congratulation of the British people.

    The reason for this is that British India was so large that it could even rely on its own size, resources and population advantages, and its overall economy and important economic indicators surpassed that of modernized Japan, the first in Asia, and even far superior to other imperial entities.

    During the First World War, the revenue of the Anglo-Indian government was one billion rupees, or about one hundred million pounds, about half that of the United Kingdom itself, about equal to that of the Japanese government, and even further ahead of entities such as Canada and Australia and South Africa, to name a few.

    This is still taking into account the Anglo-German naval race, the local British bite the bullet to raise taxes, when peacetime, British India's revenue, but also an integral part of the British Empire.

    This led to, British India's position is extremely important, in addition to Napoleon's short time, Britain is down in Europe, in the nineteenth century, almost all the time, Britain is for the security of British India policy, whether it is the attack on Burma or north to Afghanistan is for this reason.

    Were it not 1945, Alan Wilson would have had reason to believe that officials from the British mainland would go out of their way to travel far and wide to work in India, which was, after all, a colony, where you did not have to put up with all the checks and balances of the British mainland, and where working in a colony allowed you to enjoy the treatment of a man of the people.

    So Sir Barron gave Alan Wilson great comfort, if you go back a few decades, and can even be said to have given him a direct step to heaven, less struggle for twenty years.

    But now it is different, Alan Wilson understands that British India, the crown jewel of the Empire, will soon be out of the control of the British Empire, and now he must use the little time that remains as much as possible to accumulate seniority and wealth, which is also not an easy thing.

    For the position of Hyderabad, he was ready to accept it without a word, and that, although it was a Turkish state, part of the belt of indirect British rule, had very great advantages in it.Take, for example, the monarch of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan.

    The man's popularity was worldwide, as he was rated the richest man in the world by the United States in 1937, and Hyderabad was to be a starting point for Alan Wilson's future career, and he wanted it to go smoothly.

    Allen Wilson left the Governor's House, as Sir Barron had already explained that he would be allowed to hire some assistants on his own, and the work was always easier with the help of trusted people.

    Before leaving, Allen Wilson also brought a file bag, listen to Sir Barron said, inside is the British India Civil Service examination questions, which can not help but let Wilen Wilson sigh, in the end or can not avoid the examination?

    But on second thought, he was in a relaxed mood, this has been much smoother than previously thought, can get the Hyderabad Commissioner's position, was considered an additional pleasure, can not ask for too much.

    Taking the bus home, open the paper, in fact, can already see some from the paper, the real environment of the current British India.For the PML-N and the Congress, as well as the relations between the British Indian provinces and the Turkish states, are all issues that need to be resolved by the Viceroy's Office at the present time.

    On the other hand, Sir Barron worked to persuade Governor-General Wavell in the matter of the Hyderabad Commissioner.

    "A child who might be called a genius if the war had not broken out, perhaps the youngest person to enter Oxford in recent years, but still a little too young," Governor Wavell asked rhetorically with a frown, "isn't it beginning to go too well for him to be Commissioner of Hyderabad?"

    "On the contrary, Mr. Governor, Commissioner of Hyderabad is more appropriate.There is a difference between being placed in a province and being placed in a state; the monarch of Hyderabad is an honored guest in London, and according to the agreement between us and the state, the power placed in Hyderabad cannot be too great, and we cannot do it now; British India has enough to keep 100,000 officials busy.As Hyderabad's power is so strong Tupang, we must maintain the status of Commissioner, at the same time can not go over too much, one-sided interference will also make Hyderabad's monarch dissatisfied, so Allen go just right."Sir Barron spoke effusively, skirting around and around, just wanted to make a point that Alan Wilson was the most suitable to be the Commissioner of Hyderabad, not to be the second choice.

    The direction of the war was very obvious, the Axis group was at the end of the road, but standing in British India's point of view, the future direction is still unknown, British India in the end in the future is to continue under British rule or direct independence.

    Governor Wavell and Sir Barron, of course, understand that the distant London is also for the British India issue of the fierce dispute, this matter, not only to guard against the Soviet Union, but also to guard against another side-by-side comrades-in-arms of the United States, and even to some extent, the United States than the Soviet Union is also more dangerous.

    For the 100,000 civil servants in British India, the future was still uncertain, and even Governor-General Wavell and Sir Barron, the Governor-General of British India and the head of the civil service in British India, could not guarantee that they would have a say in the matter.

    In this uncertainty, Sir Barron himself could not see the future, and small irrational arrangements were no longer a matter of great importance.

    Late at night, Alan Wilson was still answering questions, and among Sir Barron's last papers he asked about the supporters of the rule of British India, and after a long reflection he wrote: "The class of untouchables and the monarchs of more than five hundred native states, while the Congress and the PML-N are the two opponents, and Nehru and Arizona differ only in their means.

    "The Congress Party, represented by Nehru, wanted to take over all rights in the whole of British India, while the PML-N, led by Ari Jinnah, did not want to live in the same country with the Hindus, and the two were much the same for the government of British India, but different for the pacifists and the Hindus in relation to each other, and this was the conflict between the PML-N and the Congress Party."

    "Under British India, it is the untouchables who have certain rights, and as for the monarchs of the five hundred or so native states, they are happy to maintain their present position, and instead are suspicious of both the Congress and the PMLN.For the state of Hyderabad, to which I am about to go, on the other hand, my mission is to make the Hyderabad monarchs support British India."

    "Mir Osman Ali Khan, who has the greatest strength of any of the many Indian states, and who is also a pacifist, a minority in the whole of India, even in the state of Hyderabad, believes that Mir Osman Ali Khan is quite willing to maintain friendly relations with London."

Who is an enemy and who is a friend is never a very important question.
