British civil servant

That is, after New Year's Day in [-], the reason for agreeing to this time was, of course, that the situation on the peninsula at that time was beginning to emerge.

In fact, Alan Wilson estimates that the scale of the war has now expanded, but the United Kingdom has little influence on the peninsula after all, and it does not know the specific situation, and it has to wait for the US military to notify it.

The five-star wheat emperor's military career from one victory to another will take a sharp turn and lead to another turning point. Although Alan Wilson knows this clearly in his heart, others don't know it. The best way is to wait.

So first agreed to Ikeda Hayato's discussion about prisoners of war, and waited for the best time to do things, which was very logical.

The reason why I think the next year is the most suitable is because that is the time when the U.S. military is most disgraced. If the news of the repatriation of Japanese prisoners of war spreads in British Malaya at that time, it is theoretically the easiest time to use populism and promote Allen. Wilson's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

If Alan Wilson is fair to say, the performance of the U.S. military in the face of new opponents before the Battle of Topira was far from qualified.If the British army is the main force in this war, there will never be a second collapse.

It would be even more difficult if they encountered the Soviet army. Now that the loving father is still alive, the Soviet army would rather die than take a step back. It is the first time that they can test out the truth from the truth. It seems that the US military is patronizing and running.

The ground battlefield of the U.S. military in World War II was not the main participating country, and the entire U.S. military rarely defended itself.Often surrounded by enemies that suddenly appear, the first reaction of the US military is to retreat and sell teammates by the way.

The British army was always betrayed by the U.S. military. This kind of operation of betraying allies in favor of their own safety did not end until the Battle of Topping-ri. For the first time, the U.S. military showed the spirit of defending its position.

So after that, the situation that the U.S. military was encircled and left with no master was relieved. It is understood that relying on the superior protection provided by the United States to stick to it may not necessarily be wiped out.

After taking out the firepower advantage that the U.S. military relies on, it also caused consequences that have affected the opponent for decades, such as the lack of firepower phobia.

If he was an American, he might have given an early warning or something, but Alan Wilson, as a glorious member of the British Empire, the most correct choice at this time is to be gloriously isolated, which is very much in line with the British tradition.

"I just don't know who will replace the unlucky role of the British army." Alan Wilson thought hard. The current situation is that the United Kingdom has not dispatched ground troops.

From the scale of sending troops, Canada and Turkey are possible, because only these two countries have reached a certain scale of sending troops. Alan Wilson hopes that when the troops of these two countries are betrayed by the U.S. military, they can compete with the British army. Just as calm.

Anyway, this time, the Americans should not even think about betraying the United Kingdom. Japan's surrender had already disappointed the United Kingdom, and it should also make the Americans suffer and let the United Kingdom take a breather.

Even this is far from enough. In the next few months, when the U.S. military is being chased and beaten by North Korea, the United Kingdom should operate well in public opinion.

After a few days of relaxation with Anna, Alan Wilson will continue to pay attention to the construction work in Malaya, as well as the distribution of seeds, breeding pigs, breeding cattle, etc. distributed.

The first large-scale project The large-scale fertilizer plant in Malaya was the first large-scale project after Alan Wilson became a commissioner.

No way, things like building roads and houses were all done by the former commissioner Gerald Edward using prisoners of war.

Even if Gerald Edward has done so much infrastructure construction, it is unfortunate that the Chinese ethnic group has skyrocketed during his tenure and has become a relatively majority in Malaya, and is very hostile in the eyes of the Malays.

On the contrary, Alan Wilson's inclination to pass the land distribution bill, in the eyes of the Malays, belongs to the role of the Qingtian lord.

Large-scale fertilizer plants are very important. Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. Even the United Kingdom has undergone an agricultural revolution. It has a foundation that is second to none in Europe. It has long been stronger than France, a traditional European agricultural power, before it carried out the industrial revolution.

Not to mention the basics, the threshold of modern fertilizer technology is very high, chemical fertilizers are not what you want to produce, nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers need synthetic ammonia, the earliest purpose of clicking the technology tree of synthetic ammonia is not to manufacture chemical fertilizers , but for the manufacture of explosives, the hardware required for the manufacture of fertilizers is similar to cannons, all of which require alloy steel seamless tubes. After entering the [-]th century, nuclear submarines have become a symbolic dividing line for a country to manufacture modern fertilizers.

Because after the alloy steel seamless pipe is conquered, at least manufacturing the shell of the nuclear submarine will not be a problem.

Coincidentally, India's fertilizer industry is actually very backward, so it is not very strong in manufacturing nuclear submarines.

So don't think that such a large chemical fertilizer plant is so simple on the surface, but there are many details in it.

Unless the Soviet Union provides large-scale assistance to India, anyway, as far as Alan Wilson knew when he worked in British India, the Indian fertilizer industry during the British India period was very primitive and had absolutely nothing to do with the modern fertilizer industry.

If India wants to modernize its chemical fertilizer industry, it must overcome the hardware of alloy steel seamless pipes alone. If it cannot be overcome, even if it can be produced, the scale will be limited.The result is similar to, or even worse than, generic drugs in India.

When the Malayan administrative commissioner moved forward with heavy burdens to make the 1000 million subjects of the colony safe and sound, although it was faintly visible, the clues of the peninsula gradually spread out with the trend of the war.

The five-star Emperor, who wanted to end the war on Thanksgiving, finally achieved the expected result with the bravery and fearlessness of the Titanic decades ago, as Allen Weir expected.

At the beginning of November, when Allen Wilson decided to hold a commissioner meeting on the 25th of next month to see who was the commissioner of Christmas Island, the news that the US-South Korea coalition forces were defeated and retreated to the south of the Qingchuan River spread from the peninsula to all parts of the world .

The U.S. troops were either alone or in groups of three or five, carrying the wounded, and moving up the mountain while fighting.Some bypassed the barricade and moved east, then south into the mountains, while others simply disappeared into the darkness and headed south, finally reaching the rear.Many were captured, and the number of casualties was not immediately ascertained.

London, Canberra, Ottawa, Paris, Washington, Moscow, Belgrade, New Delhi, the two major camps, and the capitals of neutral countries all dealt with the Americans who were victorious two weeks ago and wanted to end the war before Thanksgiving. heated discussion.

As the current biggest opponent of the United States, Moscow is first of all happy for the shameful end of the defeat of U.S. imperialism. After confirming the defeat of the U.S. military, it reported the defeat of the U.S. military in a tone of confirmation almost immediately. The words of ending the war before the festival were teased.

Starting from Moscow, the news that the U.S. military was hit head-on again spread all over the world just like half a year ago.

"I think London should have some trust in me this time." Alan Wilson, who was holding the dragoon, let out a long breath. Prophetic speeches, coupled with the fact that the US military is victorious.

It must be very embarrassing for London, which wants to stay out of the matter. For more than a month since September, American newspapers must have used this to ridicule Britain. After a long time, it is inevitable that London will not let Alan Wilson thank the world.

But now this worry has disappeared, and the image of Prime Minister Attlee will only resolutely defend British interests and prevent Britain from being involved in an uncontrollable war.

From the perspective of standing up and talking without back pain, Prime Minister Attlee must be very comfortable now.

"I'm happy to see you, don't you worry about it?" Anna, as the closest person, could feel the change of the man's mood first, and said angrily, "It's so timid, it's different from when you were in Germany."

"Germany is Germany, and the United States is the United States. I believe that even if the Soviets are in front of me, they must admit at this moment that the national strength of the United States is overwhelming to other countries." Alan Wilson did not deny his own double standards. Said, "The failure of the US military has its own problems. Once the enemy's situation is unknown, the US military often chooses to retreat to a safe place first. This habit is very bad. If the Soviet Red Army sticks to the spot, the effect will be much better."

Thousands of miles away in London, Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign Secretary Morrison, who had just returned from Kuala Lumpur, were also talking about the shameful defeat of imperialism, according to Moscow.

"The previous worries about the expansion of the war and MacArthur's own shortcomings now seem to be completely correct." Attlee looked at the Foreign Secretary who was actually at odds with him and said, "On the one hand, we should be thankful because we insist on defending the The interests of the United Kingdom were not involved. On the other hand, it is unavoidable to worry, because if the war develops in an uncontrollable direction, will it lead to a world war?"

"We should communicate with the United States to see if we can return to the pre-war situation." Morrison said helplessly, holding his forehead, "but in July and August, the United States rejected our many suggestions and warnings .Now the United States can no longer listen to what we say in the United Kingdom."

Prime Minister Attlee also nodded. He is also very complicated now. For the current UK, the current situation can be said to be mixed. The good news is that the UK has avoided joining another war just as the economy is improving.

Worryingly, so was the more powerful rival, the Soviet Union, while the United States, on which Britain relied, was drawn into the war.

Chapter 576 Spending money to do things Ali Khan

While the military power of the United States is being drawn [-] kilometers away, the current cabinet prime minister, Attlee, has a lot more demand on the United States. In the four-nation-occupied areas in Germany, because of the Soviet Union's increase in troops in the Soviet-occupied areas, Britain and the United States France also expanded the number of its garrisons accordingly.

Europe is a place of contention for all parties, even if a war has broken out in the Far East, it will not change this.

In view of this, the United Kingdom also had to increase its investment in military power. This is a painful and happy situation.

On the one hand, the increase in British military investment will definitely drag down economic development.Even if this investment is not for participating in the war, it also proves that Britain is still an indispensable part of the current world situation.

And after a short communication, now Washington and London, Britain and the United States all believe that the British imperial industry plays a strategic role in the global balance dominated by the West.It is true that revolutions may break out in certain areas of strategic importance.

Therefore, in the ever-changing environment, the foreign policy of the United Kingdom and the United States will indeed continue to use imperial industries and strategic bases, even though the strength of the United Kingdom has been relatively weakened.

The war in the Far East has given Britain more room for maneuver, but Britain's vigilance against the United States has not only not been reduced, but has increased. This is because Britain has warned in advance of the warning of the expansion of the war.

However, the United States refused to listen to advice with indifference, which made London realize that the United States in [-] was completely different from the United States in [-]. The United States had adapted to its role as a world hegemon and was becoming more and more It is warlike, and its policy is more and more inclined to preemptive strikes.

There are some worrisome aspects.The Soviet Union could overreact to American pressure, destabilizing Europe at a time when the international community is preoccupied with Asia.

But between Britain and the United States, the United Kingdom is a relatively weak side after all. Even if there is dissatisfaction, it must work hard to manage the differences between the United Kingdom and the United States.

If Alan Wilson knew that the respected Prime Minister thought so, he might think that Attlee was too greedy. The current situation is much stronger than in history. He is not bound by the United States and must join the war. What else do he want?

From the perspective of the United Kingdom, it is definitely not the result that the United Kingdom wants to see if the Cold War turns into a hot war.But in [-], Britain was the first to express hostility to the Soviet Union before the Americans, and successfully left the defense issues of Greece and Turkey to the United States.

The world is such a big chessboard, with so many players, Britain can't take all the benefits and pay no price at all.

If this can be achieved, there will be no reason for Britain to decline. Where will the United States and the Soviet Union perform on the stage today?

With the approval of the U.S. occupation forces, Japan hoped that the British colonial government of Malaya would release Japanese prisoners of war. Although it cannot be said to be a trivial matter, it is indeed not a big deal compared to the war.

After discussion between the Honorable Prime Minister and the distinguished Foreign Minister, this matter has been handed over to the colonial government of British Malaya for resolution.Make a repatriation itinerary with the Japanese side.

"The Americans are fighting in the east, and the pressure on Europe's defense is increasing. Emmanuel must be happy." Attlee said that he suddenly remembered something, "Morrison, still remember the previous one? A report from the Trinity nuclear strike force?"

"Of course I remember that General Mountbatten was a staunch supporter of that report." Morrison nodded, obviously knowing this report very well and must have read it.

"I was not willing to invest in it before. The proportion of financial expenditure and military expenditure was too high. But now it seems that it is impossible not to invest. In the Trinity nuclear strike, what we lack is the investment in submarines and land-based missiles. The strategic air force no longer needs it. Too much investment." Attlee scratched his big smooth forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, let's discuss it with the Minister of Defense. One-sided support for the Air Force is not acceptable. To ensure the security of the British Empire, military investment must be balanced."

If it weren't for the Soviet Union's covetousness, Attlee would have wanted to abolish the army. Throughout history, Britain has never maintained such a large-scale ground force in peacetime, but it can't do it now.

Secretary of Defense Emmanuel must be happy with the military investment, and maybe several sea ministers are also happy.Although not related to surface ships, the submarine project is also informative enough.

In Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson, who has long regarded the telegram as instant communication, received information from the respected Fourth Sea Lord Mountbatten about the subsequent impact on Europe of the United States' deep-rooted war in the Far East.

The result is that the trinity nuclear strike force, which was not valued before, at least not now, has won the support of the current cabinet.

In Alan Wilson's view, this is a good thing, because the money will have to be spent sooner or later, and it is better to start it when the United States has no time to take care of it.The more delay, it will only lead to increased investment, and it is easy to give up halfway.

The news that next year, in 12, Britain may increase its military spending to £[-] billion.Already circulated within Whitehall.

Although Alan Wilson was not in Whitehall, he kept in touch with the outside world by telegram, so he naturally heard the news.

After searching the memory of the previous life in my mind, I seem to remember seeing similar data somewhere, because of participating in the war, plus the expansion of the ground forces confronting the Soviet Union in Europe, during the years of the Korean War, the British Military spending soared to £15 billion.

Of course, this is much less than the 200 billion military spending converted into U.S. dollars during World War II. According to the current exchange rate, it is only 40 billion U.S. dollars.

In other words, there were no ground troops sent in the Korean War. Coupled with this mixed factor of time and space, Britain's military expenditure was reduced by [-] million pounds.

"Even so, with 600 million pounds to support the development of Asia, you still have to pull Canada and Australia, isn't it?" Alan Wilson had an impression of the frugality of the current government.When picking out money, digging and searching may be frightened by debts.

After all, during the years when the United Kingdom broke out in World War II, the United Kingdom had 200 billion military expenditures every year, which was almost the same as the military support of the Soviet Union.After a great war, Britain was almost forced to hang itself.

The alloy tube project has just had results, and now it is going to increase investment, and Alan Wilson also knows that the research on the alloy tube project is still continuing, and hydrogen bombs are being studied.

Originally, after the Japanese representative left, Alan Wilson was going to talk about this matter with a few optimistic and reliable Chinese.

But I tried to contact Ali Khan before, and now I have feedback. Ali Khan’s son Saif has arrived in Kuala Lumpur. Alan Wilson seems to have seen this son. Who made Ali Khan have many sons? I don’t remember clearly. .

It is said that the most trusted heir has gone to Pakistan, and now the trusted son is the one in front of him.With a beard that can also be described as sexy, he introduces his identity.

On behalf of the former Maharaja of Hyderabad and now the Chief Minister of Hyderabad, Ali Khan, came to meet with the non-staff ministers.

"For my friend Ali Khan Maharaja, I am personally very sad about losing his kingdom." Alan Wilson expressed his indignation that Hyderabad was annexed by India with sincerity and no false meaning.

"Commissioner, I always hear my father mentioning you. Although the British were very irresponsible when they evacuated British India. But my father can also understand your personal help to Hyderabad for a long time." Saif immediately replied, "The friendship between the father and the commissioner will not fade because of this accident."

"This is the best." Allen Wilson nodded with satisfaction, "I don't know what the majesty thinks about the future."

"Father is still the Chief Minister of Hyderabad now, but now Hyderabad has a sad heart for his father. When necessary, my father wants to leave India and live in the UK. Anyway, my father has prepared for this day. London has a father Huge wealth."

That's true!Alan Wilson nodded, he knew this wealth very well, gold and gem cash, plus some stocks.How many billions? Now the development of British Malaya is in particular need, um, Ali Khan’s own territory especially needs the gift of the monarch...

"Actually? Your Majesty didn't think about it, did you express your love for thousands of people in another place?" Alan Wilson stammered hints, and finally showed a look that you understand, "I don't know Saif Do you have a certain understanding of the origin of the Iraqi royal family?"

It has already been hinted so clearly, Saif's face suddenly became extremely shocked, then turned into surprise, and hurriedly said, "Dear Commissioner, is there such a place in the British Empire?"

"To be honest, the environment of the world has changed and it's not as easy as it used to be. If the maharaja wants to be the ruler of a country, it may be a little difficult. But find a place similar to Hyderabad's status." Alan Wilson reserved Looking at the other party, he said, "There are actually nine sultans in British Malaya. You can think of a way from this aspect. And there are still a few places where there are no monarchs. Saif, you know, the local Malays also Believe in the Peace Sect. Of course, this is just my idea, you can listen to it as you like..."

Don’t listen casually, Saif said anxiously and proactively, “Commissioner, you are my father’s best friend, and the friendship between the two of you has even surpassed the traditional relationship between Britain and India. Hearing this news, my father will definitely Very happy."

"Oh, it may be very difficult. You know, it is not the world situation that the Iraqi royal family is facing now. It may cost money, and it will cost a lot of money." Alan Wilson looked embarrassed, "Although it is said that this is using your money to do your business, you still have to be prepared. This is not easy."

577 Chapter Law Does Not Respond to the Public

Allen Wilson made Saif think that it is not so easy to agree. The most important thing about this matter depends on what Ali Khan himself thinks.He is now an incumbent maharajah, and it is not Saif's turn to make up his mind for him.

London also recognizes Ali Khan, not Saif, one of Ali Khan's more than 20 sons.

At present, when the Kingdom of Sarawak has been restored and has been transferred to the name of Pamela Mountbatten, there are still three places in British Malaya that do not have a monarch. Of course, this does not include the direct jurisdiction of the Isthmus of Kra.After the cession of the Kra Isthmus, it was assigned to the Straits Settlements, and Penang and Malacca were also part of the Straits Settlements.

Then there is only one left who can make a deal with Ali Khan, Sabah, in the south of Sarawak, the most famous thing in Sabah is a death march.

In World War II, Allied forces began to engage the Japanese.Allied bombing destroyed most of the towns and Sandakan was razed to the ground.Sandakan once housed a brutal Japanese-run camp for Australian and British prisoners of war in North Borneo.

Prisoners were treated inhumanely, and Allied bombing prompted the Japanese to relocate the prisoner-of-war camp to Ranau, 260 kilometers inland.At that time, the number of all prisoners of war had been reduced to 500, and they were forced to launch the infamous Sandakan Death March.Almost all the POWs died on the march, with only six Australians escaping and surviving.

After all, Sabah has an area of ​​more than 7 square kilometers, although the population is not large.It will definitely not be handed over to Ali Khan so easily, that is, London is now doing everything to make money, so Alan Wilson will make such a suggestion.

And he said very clearly to Saif that even if he becomes the monarch of Sabah, it is impossible to make a promise as he did in Hyderabad before. Transformation, it is impossible to reproduce the absolute monarchy of the agricultural era.

Alan Wilson did not show an urgent desire to cash in. In his opinion, it is good that this matter can be done.

Ali Khan's billions of billions of wealth, if used on British Malaya, can accelerate the take-off of this colony.

At the same time, it is also to strengthen British Malaya’s ability to resist the Soviet Union. He has not seen a few monarchs who are particularly interested in the Soviet Union. Sabah is just north of Sarawak, and its development will also promote Sarawak. .

Originally after the war, the British army landed in Malaya in the name of surrender.Later, in order to restore and strengthen colonial rule, the British launched the Federation of Malaya project.The Malayan Federation plan is that the British will change the way of governing Malaya from indirect to direct, and deprive the sultans of the various states of rule.At the same time, equal citizenship is implemented, that is, Chinese and Indians are given the same equal status as Malays.

But this plan was met with fierce opposition from the Malays.The Malays believed that Britain's deprivation of the Sultan's right to rule was a heavy blow to their national identity and national identity, and the opening of equal citizenship rights seriously threatened the special status of the Malays in politics.

At that time, British India could no longer be maintained. The united British Indian civil servants proposed another method, opening the Xiangjiang border, using the method of opening the gates to flood the population advantage of the Malays with the Chinese, and at the same time stationing British troops for deterrence .

After flooding, the effect is really good. Now the Malays have stopped making noise. After Gerald Edward’s tenure, after Alan Wilson took office, British Malaya has become a colony directly managed by the British civil service system. , that is to say, British Malaya is now under direct management, and no longer relies on the assistance of any state from British India.

Therefore, even if Ali Khan came to Malaya and became the monarch of Sabah, he would be the same as the original local sultan. To be a respected and loved monarch, he could not dictate the administrative work of the colony.

Alan Wilson did not hide any of these differences, and told Saif everything, so that Ali Khan knew the real situation here. Alan Wilson used money to act with integrity and would not deceive the other party on this issue.

After telling all the difficulties frankly, Alan Wilson sent Saif out of the administrative office, "This may cost hundreds of millions of pounds. I am just a proposal. The majesty should know the difficulty, so Whether the matter can be accomplished or not, the majesty can make his own judgment."

When Saif heard that it might cost hundreds of millions of pounds, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was indeed a huge sum of money, and he didn't know if his father, Ali Khan, would be able to spend it.

Even though he thought so, Saif still said, "I will inform my father of all the risks. In short, I am grateful to the commissioner for remembering the friendship with my father at this time."

"I have no advantages as a person, but there is one thing I can do. I have received help from the Maharaja when I started my career, and I must give it back in a certain period of time. Sabah has a large area but a small population. If Ali Khan is interested, and I am willing to help plan this matter. I am currently the commissioner of Malaya, and I happen to have the ability to help.”

Alan Wilson's attitude is very businesslike, and he regards this matter as a pure business. Whether it can be completed or not depends on how Ali Khan thinks.

Whether a slap can be made or not, mainly depends on Ali Khan's own considerations. This is like the question of whether the US nuclear umbrella works. If the US uses a big report to deter the Soviet Union from attacking the US mainland, this threat is a serious threat to the Soviet Union. High reliability.

However, if the same threat was used to deter the Soviet Union from attacking Western Europe, the credibility would be reduced.
