The arrival of this ship's supplies can at most have an incentive effect, but it is not worth mentioning at all compared with the losses of British India due to the drought. However, from the perspective of the Governor's Office, apart from the loss of personnel , there seems to be no loss.

And what the subcontinent lacks the most is people. In this way, it can be said that British India has retreated from the drought this time, without suffering any losses.

Alan Wilson read the newspaper of British Ceylon with great interest, and it was written like this, "In this happy age, we poor people have been driven by the powerful European civilization and enjoyed many favors such as movies and machines. , what could be more exciting at this time than the quality of life of our European benefactors? So we felt that our Ceylon might be interested in something in some inland part of British India, but for the sake of tin In the future development of Lan, it is still necessary to approach European civilization in order to live happily in this world."

Alan Wilson has made no secret that he now very much wants to meet the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. As soon as you speak, you are old imperialism, and you don't have this level if you haven't been in the colony for 20 years.

"It's like Andrew." Muttering the name of the chief executive of Bangladesh Province, Alan Wilson scoffed at the poor performance of the chief executive. The most scoffing was not Andrew, but the praise of Andrew's speech from all walks of life in India. How can He De, the chief executive of Bangladesh, who is full of fat in the drought, receive such praise?

Alan Wilson has no doubts that if the Great Bengal Famine is faced not by Burke, the current Chief Executive of the United Provinces, but by the present Andrew, the death toll of the Great Bengal Famine will be even higher.

But what did the newspapers say about the Bangladeshi governor? "Mr Andrew was one of those decent old-fashioned English gentlemen, like so many of our role models today. He was a man of family, and, as our dear English brothers say, family-minded and kind-hearted. "

This newspaper either received money or was fooled by lard, maybe a combination of both, Andrew loves family matters, and Alan Wilson agreed with it. He has been the chief executive of Bangladesh for less than a year. Three offspring have been born. Considering Andrew's age, he is afraid that this Bengalese master will die suddenly due to overwork.

However, the most difficult time has passed. At this time, it is impossible to come out and sing the opposite. After the high efficiency of the Portuguese central government, Pedro sent a telegram, and the bran from Africa... oh, the grain has been loaded on the ship and headed for British India. .

Portugal showed great sincerity, and finally came long after the death peak of British India passed.

This is of course not the norm, at least as far as Alan Wilson is concerned, his other suggestion, taking advantage of the famine to absorb pacifists and establish a quarantine zone for the residents of Goa, was implemented quite resolutely. describe.

During the drought, Goa absorbed nearly 200,000 peaceful believers and settled around Goa, changing the population ratio of the two surrounding ethnic groups, allocating land and donating food rations to ensure that these new residents would not starve to death. A series of actions are not ambiguous at all. .

The delivery of food from Africa alone seems to be a little dragged, either a real distance or intentional. The Salazar family in Portugal is dominant, and Alan Wilson tends to the latter.

Just when he thought about it, the commissioner's secretary, Edel, pushed open the door and said, "Assistant Allen, the commissioner wants to talk to you about something."

"Thank you, Edel." Alan Wilson asked as he stood up. "Do you know what it was all about?"

"I have a duty to keep it a secret!" Edel pretended to be stern, "I heard that 100,000 tons of grain from Portugal is coming, and the blockade of the Andaman Islands can't last forever, it has to be solved."

"Very confidential." Alan Wilson thanked him solemnly.

Is it still useful for Portugal's food to arrive at this time? Of course, it is useful. The current situation of British India can be divided into two parts. The part that is open to the public is, "The most dangerous stage has passed. This time, we have achieved a staged victory in the fight against drought. This time, British India has played a role. The spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement has shocked the whole world, and Indians have won respect from all over the world with their practical actions."

This is of course false. Among the colonies that the British Empire can still influence, the monkey play of the Congress and the Muslim League on the London stage is far more eye-catching than the efforts of British India to fight the drought.

In fact, the current situation in British India can also be said to have gone through the most difficult period. In a popular word, the curve has been flattened. If it was said that 10,000 people starved to death every day, and it lasted for many days , now that that time has passed, and now almost 9,500 people starve to death every day.

British India Governor's Office said the hardest time is over because the data has turned an inflection point, it is not refreshing a day-by-day growth, the curve has been flattened.

Now the Governor's Office can speak out loudly that the drought that hit British India this time is preventable and controllable.

This can be seen from the smile on Sir Barron's face. When he saw Alan Wilson coming in, he asked easily, "Did you see Andrew's speech?"

"I see, it has a deafening effect." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, "The performance of Bangladesh's fight against the famine this time is far better than the mistakes made a few years ago."

The premise of Alan Wilson's statement is that this drought did not actually affect Bangladesh. The drought this time is different from the Bangladesh famine. That one affected the lower Ganges River, this time it affected the upper Ganges River, and Bangladesh was not affected much.

In other words, Chief Executive Andrew's performance was simply creating tension. However, it is not true to say that there is no soaring food in Bangladesh, because it is very outrageous.

However, the reason is not famine, but the consequence of the expulsion of the Rohingya after the communication between the Assistant Commissioner of British India and the Commissioner of British Myanmar. One million Rohingya is one million mouths. , Don't you want to open your mouth to eat?

However, in this regard, Andrew is very impressive. While expressing that the drought was severe, in the name of the chief executive of Bangladesh Province, he arranged for the Rohingya who fled to drink a bowl of porridge every day, so as not to starve to death.

The consequence is that after doing this, Andrew has more reasons to build his image, and at the same time, the price of food has risen. The food is all given to the Rohingya, so of course the lack of demand has risen.

As for how much profit was obtained, the gentlemen of the British Empire will know after the end of the drought.

"The Portuguese ship will arrive in a few days." Sir Barron frowned, fearing that the Congress Party would protest, "Nehru is indeed a difficult man to deal with."

"Nehru should be paying more attention to the refugees from British Burma now. Hasn't he been protesting Myanmar's expulsion of Bangladeshi immigrants these days?" Alan Wilson said with a thoughtful face, "I shouldn't know about the Portuguese. The matter, we can completely hide from the Congress Party, London has already approved it, we secretly signed it and did not announce it, and waited until the day we left British India to admit that there was such a secret agreement, and Nehru had nothing to do."

Sir Barron nodded. The black box operation is an enduring method. Through Sir Edward's news, the Portuguese Foreign Ministry was aware of it and moved with emotion, and asked the British Empire to look at the past and confirm the status of Goa. down.

Originally, the cabinet was not pretentious, but with the reply of the Muslim League of the London Congress Party, especially Patel, the conservative leader of the Congress Party, there was such a little bit of disregard for the suzerainty in the words.

After the second defense, the Foreign Office of the British Empire recalled the enduring routine of operating in the dark.

Decided to sign a secret agreement recognizing the status of Goa in the name of the Governor's Office of British India and the Governor's Office of Goa, Portugal.

After the signing of this secret agreement ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the Portuguese became much more efficient in raising food, and soon announced that they would set sail to save the people of the subcontinent.

Now that London has nodded and can sign the secret contract, the details of how to sign the contract are left to British India.

Alan Wilson thinks this is not difficult. What's wrong with Portugal's help in this famine?

As for the worst stage of the drought, that is because the Indian Ocean is vast, and Africa's infrastructure is insufficient. It is forgivable to be alone for a certain period of time.

"There is also the issue of the Andaman Islands, which should be resolved immediately. It will be difficult to deal with it if it takes a long time, and so does Sir Edward." After talking about Portugal, Sir Barron mentioned the riots in the Andaman Islands. The problem is that there must be a limit to cover the cover, and you can't cover it all the time.

Twenty days have passed since the riot, and even the power of this drought has begun to weaken.

"Let the planes in Burma drop flyers to persuade surrender. It's better not to bleed or not to bleed." Alan Wilson is still making his last efforts to buy time for the prisoners of war on the island.

Sir Barron nodded and said to Alan Wilson, "If the army really needs to be dispatched, General Erwin has mobilized an Indian division to take a strong attack on the Andaman Islands."

"This couldn't be better." Alan Wilson nodded, then got up and said, "I'll be in touch with Yangon, about the empty flyers, Sir Barron will be busy first."

Regarding the content of the short leaflet, the telegram to Burgess emphasized that the consequences of stubbornly resisting the dead end should be emphasized. In this way, when the rioters are afraid, they will choose to admit defeat obediently.
