British civil servant

"There is no other way now. Your brother will stay and wait and see. If there is no problem, we may come back after hiding for a few months." When the man with the demeanor of the head of the family spoke, the whistle of the steamship at the pier had already blown ring.

This is like a signal, the people waiting to board the boat at the pier are carrying big bags and small bags, dragging their families and pushing up. In the middle of the night, this scene looks extremely bleak.Of course, the crowd also included the father and son just now, the old and vigorous father, and he also greeted the children brought by the two concubines, maintaining the dignity of the head of the family.

From the news that the Viet Minh is going to take over the entire North, similar scenes are happening in the big cities in the North almost every day.Of course, the French army, which still controls some places in North Vietnam, contributed to the flames, spreading the true and false news that some wealthy businessmen were suspended from street lights, advocating this kind of panic in the face of the Viet Minh.

Many landlords and businessmen in North Vietnam were full of doubts about the Viet Minh's coming to power. With the beneficial promotion of the French army, they could not tell the truth from the false and escaped first. Of course, many people planned to temporarily settle down in the south and leave some relatives The idea is to wait and see, and come back if nothing happens.

There is a large proportion of Chinese Americans here. On the one hand, it is because the Chinese themselves came from China, and even the local conditions have been overcome.

Naturally, you can earn whatever you want to make money. On the whole, they are richer than the Vietnamese theme nation.There is another aspect. A few years ago, the Cannon Party collapsed. Many Chinese have already staged a similar incident. Even if the Chinese in North Vietnam did not experience it personally, they have heard of it.

Alan Wilson knew a thing or two about the emergence of the fleeing wave, and said to Su Yang and others, "Actually, these people are more trustworthy than the Chinese compradors in South Vietnam. If you have spare power in the future, you can support them more. They have already lost Wealth once, what do you have a saying?"

"Taking people's money is like harming their parents?" Tian Qianqiu asked, wondering if Alan Wilson wanted to say this.

"Yes, that's the sentence. When they came to South Vietnam, they were not familiar with the place, so they couldn't fight against the local Chinese businessmen. They needed the help of foreign forces. Vietnam? At least the market in South Vietnam should also help Malaya to take off. Don't make it Keep an eye on the European market. The European market is certainly an industry that can support Malaya. This is based on the fact that the current Malay population is small. You must be good at discovering new markets.” Alan Wilson gave guidance with a smile , the attitude is absolutely sincere, he just likes to help others.

"And we also have a geographical advantage. We can ship products over the Gulf of Thailand." The main industry is selling bicycles, and the sales of Daerba bicycles are still good.

"With this kind of understanding, I have great confidence in the local economic development under my management." Alan Wilson clapped his hands in praise, and gave him no stingy praise, "If you can build harmony with the Chinese groups in the surrounding areas, and It is a win-win relationship, and I believe the UK can also win from it."

As a colony of Malaya, it is of course impossible to compete with the United States in terms of technological content, but the United States is separated by the Pacific Ocean. In terms of daily commodities, British Malaya has an absolute cost advantage, and it also has advantages over Japan and South Korea.Now it is waiting for the United States to take over and create wartime prosperity so that Malaya will suck blood.

On this day, Alan Wilson decided to take the national treasure, as well as the iconic actresses of China and Japan in this era, and go around with the acquiescence of General Navarre. Why should the commander-in-chief of the French army acquiesce?It was because he was going to visit the residence of the head of state in South Vietnam. Emperor Bao Dai was the former emperor of Vietnam, and this had to be approved by the French.

"The current head of state of South Vietnam? So it's the emperor?" Vivien Leigh came out with the man, and looked at herself at this time, "Wouldn't it be a little rude?"

"No, you see that Her Majesty the Queen doesn't seem to care about being rude." Alan Wilson looked back, those two were not as good as Vivien Leigh, he thought he was a feudal remnant, and the three women were not as good as him.

Chapter 772 I am familiar with transferring property

General Navarre is busy handing over weapons to the South Vietnamese army, of course they are all light weapons, so that the South Vietnamese army can withstand the military pressure of North Vietnam after France leaves, which is what the United States requires.

With the support of France, the South Vietnamese government army expanded from five battalions in 26 to 17 battalions in the second year, and established a number of military academies and a military management system with the General Staff as the core. A supporting military management system and military service law were established.After the Korean War, the regular army of the Baoda regime had expanded to [-], and a relatively complete officer corps and reserve system had been established.

Alan Wilson has nothing to comment on France's actions, but it is just another trend of the Cannon Party.With a small number of elites and most of the security forces who were eating dry food, 20 North Vietnamese troops went south, and a million South Vietnamese troops were wiped out.

If it weren't for the fact that the Afghan government forces in later generations might kneel faster, South Vietnam is definitely the benchmark for being instantly killed and has been mentioned all the time.

Accidents are not unexpected at all. In countries where primary comprador economies exist, it is normal for the army to stretch their hips.The economic relationship between South Vietnam and France is also a very rudimentary dependency relationship.The big landlords and big compradors attached to the colonial powers were committed to exporting raw materials to the suzerain country, and at the same time undertook the dumping of goods from the suzerain country.

If British Malaya hadn't lobbied London and then came to practice as a commissioner himself, even if the level of British exploitation was higher than that of the French, it would not be able to do much, and it would not be much better than South Vietnam.

Now that the French power is about to fade, he came here again this time to help with the retreat in person, also to establish a harmonious relationship through Chinese businessmen and local Chinese buyers, and then relying on the geographical advantages of British Malaya to share from the market in South Vietnam. a cup of soup.

It has been rare for a colonial commissioner to do such hard work since the colonial era.

The official residence of Emperor Bao Dai is very Roman at a glance. France has long colonized Vietnam. This presidential palace is naturally European style.It was originally the French Governor's Mansion, but later it was handed over to Emperor Bao Da as his official residence.

The official residence covers an area of ​​12 square meters, with a height of three floors, two side buildings and a basement. The original Baoda Emperor and the current Nanyue King lived here.

Alan Wilson does not deny that he likes to have good relations with representatives of these backward forces, and is keen to help these people, such as Ali Khan who found the meaning of life in Malaya.

Just looking at Saigon, South Vietnam doesn't look so bad, but Alan Wilson, who has nothing to do with the French in Malaya, until he can see the real South Vietnam as long as he leaves the city of Saigon.

In the countryside, the French colonial government actively exempted large landlords from poll tax and private land tax, and provided economic benefits such as low-interest loans, thus cultivating a powerful bureaucratic landlord class attached to the French colonial order.

France is known as usury imperialism, and it is naturally reflected in the colonies. French usury capital also cooperates with South Vietnamese landlords to issue usury loans to farmers. Causing the farmers to go bankrupt.The high concentration of land not only brought heavy taxes and oppression, but also produced a large number of landless people.

For example, when the comprador regime faces the socialist forces of the same race, it will be a matter of time before the hammer is blown up. South Korea should also thank Park Chung-hee for his military dictatorship. Speaking of this military dictatorship, it is a coincidence that the person who received him to visit the official residence of Emperor Bao Dai was called Wu Dingyan. Emperor Bao Da's Minister of the Ministry of Officials has now been appointed prime minister.

Wu Dingyan was very polite to Alan Wilson's arrival, and Alan Wilson also knew that once the French left, Wu Dingyan would abolish Emperor Bao Dai, who was supported by the French, and rule Vietnam by himself.

"I heard that Mr. Wu has been to the United States?" Alan Wilson knew Wu Dingyan's experience in the United States, and directly switched to English dialogue, "Catholics are rare in Vietnam, but it may be a help for you."

"I also just came back and gained His Majesty's trust. God is with us..." Wu Tingyan was very polite and did not look like a military strongman at all.

Being a Catholic helped Ngo Dinh Diem to thrive in the United States, and successively won the appreciation and support of John F. Kennedy, Mike Mansfield, Williams Douglas and other American politicians.

But he didn't know that the Englishman in front of him didn't like God or anything. When he thought of God, he could always think of the famous sayings of Stalin and his teachers. Moreover, the Catholics in South Vietnam just passed 5.00%, which must be less than [-]%, definitely a minority.Although the absolute minority is beneficial to the political stability of the small circle, it is a disadvantage to the big enemy.

Thinking about Wu Ting Diem's ​​basic situation, it is similar to Chang Gong, the governor of the large Liangjiang. Alan Wilson also remembered that Wu Ding Diem met Chang Gong later, and wondered if he had exchanged experience in the logistics field.

After a while, Ng Tinh Diem brought the group to the residence of Emperor Bao Dai. Alan Wilson saw how familiar Ng Tinh Diem was with this official residence, and knew in his heart that once the French left, the good days of Emperor Bao Dai would be numbered.

Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem is very busy. What he is busy with is the same as Alan Wilson’s concern recently, which is the fleeing wave that has already appeared in North Vietnam. Of course, Ngo Dinh Diem’s main concern is the Catholics who fled from North Vietnam. Farming for business and little savings, the Catholic background of the Wu Group made it unpopular with traditional elite groups and Confucian literati.

The core of the Wu Clan is only the six brothers Ngo Dinh Kui, Ng Dinh Chu, Ng Dinh Diem, Ng Dinh Ru, Ng Dinh Jin, and Ng Dinh Lien. For Ng Dinh Diem, who aspires to rule a country, there is really no one under him. Just now, there is a wave of fleeing in North Vietnam. I am trying my best to let the North Vietnamese Catholics come to South Vietnam to increase their basic base.

"Your Majesty, I take the liberty to interrupt you." After Alan Wilson saw Emperor Bao Da, he looked like an angel descending.His gaze swept across the woman Empress Nanfang next to Emperor Bao Dadi, and he once again felt his innate talent as a prime minister.

"Commissioner Wilson, welcome." Bao Dadi didn't notice Cao's actions in front of him, and greeted him friendly. If the other party was not an Englishman, he must not be free.

Now that the situation is unstable, Emperor Bao hopes to get more and more support, no matter where the support comes from.On the premise that the French left, the independence of South Vietnam has become a settlement, and the next step for Emperor Bao Dai will be whether his power can be maintained.

20 years ago, Ng Dinh Diem was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Emperor Bao Dai, but now it is different. He can feel that Ng Dinh Diem is not only satisfied with the position of prime minister, but also wants more.

This is also part of Alan Wilson's purpose. If Emperor Baoda has enough wealth, Alan Wilson does not hide his thoughts. He can definitely treat Emperor Baoda the same way he treated Ali Khan.

"If I were Your Majesty, the first thing to do now would be to transfer property." Alan Wilson took the tea handed over by the servant of the mansion, took a sip, and asked the person next to him. The woman is not the queen of Nanfang.

Of course, this was just an episode. Empress Nanfang and Vivien Leigh were of the same age. When the imperial commissioner talked about business, Cao's thief's heart was fading. He said that he had come to South Vietnam this time and had seen the real situation during the period when France was about to evacuate.

"It's not the first time I've seen this." Alan Wilson mentioned his work experience in British India.

It’s not that I feel so honored that I have to repeat it to everyone. He was annexed through Ali Khan’s Hyderabad state. Let Emperor Baoda remind him that he should prevent problems before they happen.

"This is too surprising. Mr. Wilson, I really didn't expect it;" Bao Dadi said with surprise when he came up, "What is your standpoint for doing this?"

"Reputation and status, I have a good relationship with many royal families, such as Princess Badiya of the Iraqi royal family, King Farouk I of Egypt, and Ali Khan, the Maharaja of Hyderabad. I firmly believe that these royal families are not the enemies of the United Kingdom. If Vietnam If it is managed by the United Kingdom, His Majesty will sooner or later feel that I am more suitable for the position of Prime Minister than Mr. Wu."

"This reminds me of an ancient man named Su Qin!" Emperor Bao Da used to be the emperor of Vietnam, and he knew a little about the history of Vietnam, a big country that was breathless in the north.

"Do you want to hang the seal of the Six Kingdoms? In fact, it's almost the same. Princess Badia really made a seal for me to collect." Alan Wilson laughed, and said that he was not joking.

He very much hoped that Emperor Bao the Great would go to Malaya to strengthen the reactionary forces, and it would be best if he brought $800 million in assets.He remembered that Bao Dadi's assets had gone through a round of confiscation, and he should be very rich now.

As for the news he knew, such as Ngo Dinh Diem being favored by the United States and telling the truth, leaving the rest to Emperor Bao Dai's own judgment, Alan Wilson finally assured, "I don't need to deceive you. Your Majesty can use the time when France is still there to use a In the name of the leader of the country, ask about my relationship with the Egyptian and Iraqi royal families, and then contact Maharaja Ali Khan. See if I can be trusted."

Emperor Bao was silent for a long time, and thanked him sincerely, "Commissioner Wilson, I will definitely consider your suggestion seriously. A person will have doubts, and it may take some time."

"No problem, I'm just doing my duty." Alan Wilson nodded, then nodded at the queen, and said, "Today I want to visit the customs of the royal family. Isn't this request too much?"

In the evening, Alan Wilson left the official residence of Emperor Baoda. Vivien Leigh was obviously exhausted that day, and fell asleep leaning on his shoulder while riding in the car. Alan Wilson also asked Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun if they wanted to go place.

A week later, Emperor Baoda met again with the colonial commissioner who had a relationship with the six countries. After Alan Wilson's matchmaking, Emperor Baoda's property began to be transferred to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that I have contacted the Royal Navy and am willing to help His Majesty transport some things that may be of little value but have historical significance." Does the monarch have more face?

Chapter 773 The Free World Must Unite

Back then, Britain was in economic difficulties after the war, so they didn't even think about the property of the monarchy. What's more, the situation in Britain has changed a lot now. In terms of property, Bao Dadi can rest assured 120 times.

"I hope His Majesty doesn't need to take precautions in the end. This is just a defensive method." Alan Wilson explained to Emperor Bao. As for the $800 million cashier's check, the other party can keep it.

In addition, there are some fixed assets such as cultural relics. This kind of thing is worthless if it is worthless.

But in view of the trust of the lord of a country in the United Kingdom, the Royal Navy still sent a frigate to handle such trivial matters.

This operation has been approved by the London Cabinet and Whitehall. After all, Alan Wilson has done similar things in British India. Now it is just a re-enactment of classics, and Whitehall will naturally accommodate one or two.

The image of an imperial commissioner who went to the front and fought for the empire has come to life. In the telegram to Whitehall, Alan Wilson explained his actions.

"Although France was defeated, due to the common position of being a colonial country, Britain should try its best to allow France to withdraw as decently as possible. This is in line with the spirit of the European contract, and the withdrawal must not be turned into a rout. Therefore, in the current stable situation , help within our capacity is a must.”

It is also necessary to take two orderly photos to hypnotize yourself when the troops are withdrawing.

The key is to evacuate in a calm and gentlemanly manner, and there must be no scene of Saigon Iron Fist.

In fact, scenes like the Korean War can be regarded as saving face for the United States. Although it did not win, it can also be said that it did not lose.But in the Vietnam War, the United States exhausted all its strength, but failed to keep South Vietnam.It was a complete defeat in every respect.

As long as the French troops withdraw and South Vietnam remains, the future shame of the free world will not be on France.

In terms of communicating with the reactionary forces, Alan Wilson is not targeting anyone. He has the most experience in the entire UK. The most important thing is that Emperor Bao Dai is still the nominal ruler of South Vietnam. Emperor Bao Dai can understand Alan Wilson through diplomatic channels. Whether the harmonious relationship between Len Wilson and the royal families of various countries is real.

Throughout South Vietnam, the style of painting in Saigon presents a kind of incompatible prosperity, just like the old magic city when the Cannon Party was in power, at the junction of heaven and hell, all the prosperity and desolation are integrated into one city.

There are well-dressed successful people here, but more of the hard-working bottom, but compared with other places in South Vietnam, the almost unreal prosperity is enough to soothe the despair in people's hearts.

Just by looking at it, Saigon is much more lively than Kuala Lumpur, but it cannot be compared outside of Saigon.Alan Wilson had carried out land distribution under the eyes of the British army stationed in Ma, but it was not called land reform.

Just relying on this point, Wu Tingyan, the Chang Gong, just wanted to have fun.Land distribution has been carried out, and there is almost no population pressure in Malaya. The land reform, which is very threatening to other Asian countries, greatly reduces the threat to Britain.

Numb and hard-working people constitute the majority of Saigon's population. In front of a shop, many Saigon people gathered in a circle. It is not uncommon to have conflicts, but conflicts between two groups of foreigners are rare.

"Two groups of foreigners quarreled because of two women." A young man onlookers commented with envy and hatred, his eyes involuntarily betrayed his inner thoughts, paying more attention to Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun who were hiding aside.

The nearby South Vietnamese were talking a lot, and the source of the conflict was obviously people who were not far from them. Many people even thought that the two women were their compatriots, but what could they do at this time?can only watch...

"Do you know who we are?" A few Americans were furious, but they just teased a few words. They hadn't fired their guns yet, and a few people showed their guns first.

"I don't care who you are? This is the person the employer wants to protect. Even if you are the President of the United States, I will kill you." Radwig still kept his gun on the opponent's head, threatening in a low voice, "Don't be like It's like a fool, accidentally wearing a skin to gossip everywhere, or you will regret it sometime."

The American who was supported was very angry. He is from the American embassy, ​​and now the United States is negotiating with Wu Dingyan.

Supporting South Vietnam to withstand the spread of pro-Soviet forces in the north, he is considered a master in this kind of country, but now he is robbed of his head.

Alan Wilson is very busy. In fact, he is very busy every day. Although he is not staying in Kuala Lumpur, he still pays attention to the affairs of the jurisdiction. If he is still in Malaya, he will meet with Chinese and Malays at least twice a month. The elite meet once.Now these things are left to Alisa and Richard.

In addition to colonial affairs, there is also the matter of the Overseas Assets Management Committee. He wants the commissioners of the British African colonies, the Persian Gulf, and even the Governor of Hong Kong to maintain at least a familiar contact frequency.

Mikhailovich hopes that Northern Rhodesia can apply to become a royal territory, while Alan Wilson said that the overall development should be taken into account. Given the dominant position of the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia, there is no need to be so anxious.

Once Northern Rhodesia is transformed into a royal domain, it will be troublesome for the surrounding colonies, which are dominated by blacks, to demand the same treatment, and it will be troublesome to transform into a dominion.Northern Rhodesia is already an independent kingdom of the two major organizations, there is no need to be so anxious, it is nothing more than a title.

Similarly, his wife, Pamela Mountbatten, has made good progress in negotiations with the French, and is now in a state of physical and mental happiness, which Alan Wilson can also feel from the telegram.

As for how much various products are shipped from Malaya, just take a look at the trivial matters such as departure to Iran and Egypt.

"Joseph, I don't know what you've been up to lately?" After reading these telegrams, Alan Wilson handwritten a letter to McCarthy. The special relationship between Britain and the United States will never fade.

Vivien gave the busy man a blank look, and continued to do yoga according to the tutorial. Why didn't this man look at her?

After finishing the last set of movements, Vivien stood up dripping with sweat, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a middle-aged bald man came in and said, "Commissioner, Radwich was taken away. The reason is that we were accompanying the two When the lady was shopping, she clashed with the Americans."

"Vivian, help me finish writing the letter to Joseph." Alan Wilson was taken aback for a moment, and then called Vivien Leigh for help, while he listened to the ins and outs of the matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Alan Wilson got up and said, "Take me out, as long as you don't get caught in the embassy. The Americans are really fast, and the French haven't left yet."

"Just let someone else go. Will there be any problem if you go?" Vivien Leigh said, she was afraid that there would be trouble with the two of them living together, after all, this man was a British official.

"Let me take the initiative. What I want to know in Saigon is not a secret at all." Alan Wilson had already put on his clothes, and did not forget to order, "I haven't read General Mountbatten's telegram yet, you put it aside. "

Half an hour later, Allen Wilson had arrived at the Saigon Police Headquarters, and brought out the two women and Radwich, who had been arrested, looked at the bruises on each other's faces, and asked what was going on.

"It was shot by the American I pointed the gun at, but as long as the two ladies are safe." Radwich nodded at Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun, showing good qualities, "Commissioner, it doesn't matter, than in Days in the mountains of Yugoslavia, it's just very unremarkable."

"Under normal circumstances, I shouldn't cause trouble because of this. But..." Alan Wilson pinched his hands on his waist and glanced at the surrounding South Vietnamese police, "Come with me to the American embassy."

Kaoru Yachikusa looked at Alan Wilson in astonishment. In the eyes of the Japanese nowadays, Americans are not to be provoked. This man in front of him wants to trouble the Americans.

The South Vietnamese police are not qualified to intervene in conflicts between imperialists. After asking whether the South Vietnamese police were violent against Radwich, Alan Wilson told another bodyguard, "Help me contact General Naval, and the rest The people who come with me..."

With several cars flying the British flag entering the US embassy in South Vietnam, the embassy is destined to be a day of chaos.

When the military police of the French Army Command arrived at the embassy, ​​Alan Wilson was riding on a man's body and yelling, "This world is really strange, a second secretary, people who don't know think you are the Secretary of State. Washington Didn't I teach you that a diplomat is the image of a country? I was not as arrogant as you when I was a diplomat."

"Mr. Wilson, it's almost time." The ambassador to South Vietnam really wanted to be tough and let the British know that times had changed, but the other party knew McCarthy.

"Joseph is such a good person. I don't know if he knows the virtue of American personnel stationed abroad." Alan Wilson moved his shoulders, and he didn't mean to get off. He rode on the other side and said, "About my entourage On behalf of the officers who pointed a gun at you, I apologize to you."

"No need!" The respected second secretary of the American embassy put on a kind face with eyes that could barely open. Although it was humiliating to be blocked by the embassy and hammered, the situation was stronger than others.

"This is not good. After all, we were rude first. Let Robert and Joseph know. Maybe they will mock me when we meet again." Alan Wilson stood up and said, "It's even now, According to the philosophy of peer-to-peer diplomacy, that's fair, and now it's your turn to apologize to Radwich."

For the first time, the American diplomats around knew that peer-to-peer diplomacy was explained in this way, but they knew Robert Kennedy and Joseph McCarthy, so they accepted this explanation after thinking about it.

"That's right. Our two countries should not have conflicts. Britain and the United States have a special relationship." After the other party apologized, Alan Wilson sat on a chair and talked about the unity of the free world out of breath.

Chapter 774 Nautilus Nuclear Submarine

A group of people from the U.S. embassy, ​​including soldiers from the Marine Corps, had a distorted look on their faces. If this matter were pursued today, the Marine Corps would definitely be dereliction of duty, but who would have thought that a group of cars with the British flag came in to do it this one?

Even when Alan Wilson came in, the soldiers of the Marine Corps saluted him, but he came in and beat the Americans.

"Mr. Wilson, General Navarre is looking for you. I didn't expect you to be here." The captain of the French Gendarmerie who came here cleared up France's responsibilities. We, the French Gendarmerie, are just witnesses to the affairs of the United Kingdom and the United States. Not involved.

"General Navarre?" Alan Wilson looked ignorant and ignorant. He never mentioned that he had notified the commander of the French army before he came, and he said after taking a breath, "I'll be there in a while. What happened today made it difficult for General Navarre." .But this is an internal contradiction in the free world, so let’s just talk about it.”

"No problem, we also have something wrong." The American ambassador pushed his eyes and squeezed out a smile.

"It's your fault. Even if you meet a local, you should treat them with courtesy. I'm puzzled. Robert is a very gentleman, and Joseph is a good person who is easy to get in touch with. Why are some Americans like this?" Alan Wilson attributed the responsibility to the arrogance of the Americans, and then greeted, "Forget about this matter, I hope similar misunderstandings will not recur in the future, the bodyguards hired are employees of the Mountbatten Group, and your surnames are not Morgan or Rockefeller , Think more when doing things.”
