British civil servant

"I have already sent someone to pick up Princess Badia and show her the few islands that are decent in size. If she is interested, even if she has no money, we can keep it for some emirs in the Middle East. ’” Pamela Mountbatten no longer cared about her husband’s unfinished work, but focused on her own affairs.

Alan Wilson nodded, and it is more appropriate for his wife to come forward to establish contacts with the royal family in the Middle East.

Now he is discussing with Richard about the marriage system.Malays in Malaya can marry four wives. How do the Chinese look at it? In theory, they are monogamous, but in practice there is no limit.

However, Alan Wilson did not want to abolish the Great Qing Law, but he also wanted to balance the huge advantages of the upper class in this regard.

"Continuing to implement the current marriage system will cause problems sooner or later. Let's make a change. If a man has a wife, there are still multiple women with the same status as his wife. He should get some special care in taxation. Can People who can marry more than one woman can’t say all of them, but they all have a lot of value. It is more appropriate to restrain from this point.”

"As for ordinary residents, in principle we do not agree to marry more than two women. If there is a local resident as a partner, the second marriage cannot be with a Malayan resident. Malays can find Indonesians who smuggled over. , Whether the Chinese residents are looking for South Vietnam, Thailand or the Philippines, it has nothing to do with us.”

"If it is violated, it will also be taxed like the wealthy upper class. This is used to achieve de facto monogamy without abolishing the Qing law and Sharia law. To prevent angering the two major ethnic groups in Malaya conservatives."

The Kuala Lumpur High Commission, Richard and Alan Wilson, revolved around the discussion on how to persuade, not impose impersonal laws, to achieve the purpose of balancing the relationship between men and women.

When the Peace Sect expanded in the agricultural era, it was not all due to the Kuaima Machete.The different tax rates for peaceful believers and pagans allowed the Arabs to eradicate the Christians in the Mediterranean and the soil of Zoroastrianism in the Middle East in one fell swoop.

"Sounds good." Richard nodded with satisfaction, "and it can achieve a similar purpose to case law."

"Maybe it can also lead to the marriage between the justices of the peace in Malaya and people of the same status in neighboring countries."

Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Actually, once this kind of marriage occurs, we can use our connections to enter Thailand, South Vietnam, and even the Philippines. Re-creating a British India will take shape. In fact, if you think about it carefully, these overseas Chinese are not Who can rely on Britain? Only by asking for our protection can we live in safety."

There are individuals who betray the class, and there are no classes who betray the class. On the whole, Alan Wilson believes that the comprador group he raised is reliable. Without the injection and protection of British capital, they will never develop and grow.

Now is the time for these compradors who have been cared for and thrived to give back, helping British capital and the United Kingdom enter the interior of these countries and turn them upside down from the inside.

Of course, this requires the Chinese ethnic group to play a role of social ownership, selfless work and dedication, and achieve the goal with conscientious pricing and excellent products. Only in this way can the Chinese in other Southeast Asian countries be able to play a role.

The fact that the Chinese are wealthier than the locals in Southeast Asia has something to do with their own quality.

But in the eyes of Alan Wilson, the main factor is the result of the colonists borrowing the Chinese to suppress the locals.It's like the life of many Indians in the British colonies is much better than that of the locals.

If this is not recognized, how can the colonists evacuate, not show their valuable qualities, and compete with the local main ethnic group?It's not that you can't fight.

Colonialism needs agents, and the number of natives is insufficient. This is the common method of global colonists.

After choosing and choosing, the only people in Southeast Asia who were most suitable to be the agents of the colonists at that time were the Chinese.Because the Chinese have been developing in Southeast Asia for a long time, they are very familiar with various situations in Southeast Asia, and before the Europeans came, some Chinese with status were already doing things for the local rulers, mainly as their liaison with China. Trade middlemen, and then help the local ruler manage other Chinese and collect taxes from them, because tax collection has always been annoying.

In the colonial era, economic power could not be touched by the locals, otherwise there would be a basis for overthrowing the colonial rule with money.

Alan Wilson also implemented this principle after the war, giving the majority of the land to the Malays to appease them, and then vigorously supported the Chinese compradors to occupy high positions in the Malayan economy.

Soon, Alan Wilson and dozens of justices of the peace met again, and said straight to the point, "To be honest, with the population and area of ​​Malaya, without the support of the United Kingdom, it would not be a big problem for any country in Southeast Asia. Advantages. The British transferred industries and shaped Malaya today. Otherwise, Malaya with 600 million people has no reason to compare with Thailand with 700 million people, the Philippines with 600 million people, and Malaya with 3000 million people. Vietnam is strong."

"But with the 5000 million people in the UK, it can overwhelm any country in Southeast Asia. Even Indonesia, with a population of nearly [-] million, is no problem. The Royal Pacific Fleet can prove how true and reliable my words are."

"Master Zhongtang, what can we do for you?" Su Yang looked at the companions around him and said, "Here are all our own people."

"I just like to talk to my own people. In a sense, some countries say that we are right to oppress the locals, but without us, can you stand firm? The Soviets said that we must build a world where everyone is equal. But now The level of science and technology is far from that day, and the world like a pyramid will continue to operate for a long time."

Alan Wilson said with a heartfelt heart, "Some people say that the British rule you, but in fact this can also be changed. I think it can be transformed into the British and Malaya ruling Southeast Asia. We have technology and the army, and you have ready-made connections. We Borrowing your connections, no country in Southeast Asia can resist. If you suppress the development of these countries at one level, then the whole of Southeast Asia will not be in your hands?"

"If there is such a day, we will naturally follow the example of Lord Zhongtang." Gu Ke expressed his loyalty sincerely, and was willing to go through fire and water for Britain.

"What's the right thing to do? We're all on our own." Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "If I have a good heir, I'm sure you'll get married, and then we can advance and retreat together."

He really has, has Xia Meng's child been born?In the past few months, I was a little confused by the Americans in the Middle East. I forgot the due date of delivery. What will it be called?Xia Wei?Xia Xun?No, Charles, that's de Gaulle's name.

At the same time, Pamela Mountbatten, who was on the battleship, pointed out the direction for Princess Badia with a telescope, "Natuna Island also has an area of ​​[-] square kilometers. There are still some islands like Malaya. If in the Middle East When the climate is hot, the princess and the regent can’t stand the yellow sand, so they can come anytime. These islands in Malaya can become a vacation place for the emirs.”

"The scenery looks good." Princess Badia took the telescope and looked at the islands. The first impression was good. "Is the UK going to sell these islands to us?"

"It's not about selling sovereignty, but ownership. It is used to build stronger relationships with the emirs of the Kingdom of Iraq, the Kingdom of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, etc., and advance and retreat together."

Pamela Mountbatten said in high spirits, "From the worst point of view, if there is a revolution one day, you will also have a place of refuge, and Pahlavi will not have this treatment."

"We really should have a good discussion on this issue." Princess Badia smiled all over her face. "Pamela, you know that the kingdom has always cherished its relationship with Britain. I also admire you very much."

"The UK still has a few small aircraft carriers. If the princess can facilitate a deal for several emirates?" It is enough to say this, and Pamela Mountbatten believes that Princess Badia can understand.

"My intricate network of relationships." Alan Wilson patted his forehead and sighed involuntarily.

"My intricate network of relationships..." Almost at the same time, Pamela Mountbatten and her husband in Kuala Lumpur both sighed in exactly the same way.

The first thousand and 110 chapters of the second new foreign minister

The key to the integration of British capital into management and control is not who has the deeper knowledge between Alan Wilson and the Governor of Hong Kong.

In terms of power, it is how London makes decisions. Isn’t there Pamela Mountbatten in terms of capital?

Regardless of whether the Governor of Hong Kong is willing or unwilling, it will not change the final result.Just like the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong's opinions were not solicited. As long as the relationship with London is opened up, the Governor of Hong Kong has nothing to do.

Now the struggle of the Governor of Hong Kong is not on Alan Wilson's mind at all, who is being fooled by financial independence.Even the governor of Hong Kong should not be too selfish and should consider the interests of all civil servants.

"None of the four major family businesses objected, so it's his turn to object?" Pamela Mountbatten, who returned to Kuala Lumpur, also agreed with her husband's judgment, and also informed the communication with Princess Badia that Her Royal Highness is willing to help conclude the arms sale, and A series of cooperations in the purchase of islands to strengthen the strong alliance with the United Kingdom.

"There are only a few Giant-class ships left, and they are finally packed out this time." Alan Wilson heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had got rid of a heartache. .

This year, the Royal Navy still has a tonnage of 230 million tons, including the Eagle-class, Queen Elizabeth-class, Queen Victoria-class heavy aircraft carriers that have not been fully completed, plus four centaurs, still maintaining the framework of the global navy.

Compared with 100, the tonnage of the British Royal Navy has dropped by 330 million tons.The drop from 230 million tons to [-] million tons is the result of the continuous decommissioning of old ships and packaged sales.

If compared with the United States, the proportion is still a quarter of that of the United States.The total tonnage of the U.S. Navy in 200 was nearly 880 million tons, and this year it has become [-] million tons.

In fact, the tonnage of the U.S. Navy is also declining, but the change cycle is exactly one cycle later than that of the Royal Navy.The U.S. Navy’s replacement cycle should have accelerated sharply after the 70s.It happened to be the time when the Vietnam War was raging.

From 1970 to 1980, the total tonnage of the US Navy dropped from 800 million tons to 400 million tons.At the same time, the Soviet Red Navy made great strides forward, and only then did Reagan come to power to revive the US Navy's large fleet plan.

Alan Wilson believes that it is better to quickly complete the replacement of the Royal Navy's warships while the cost is not too high.Otherwise, when the United States secretly prints money, even the United States itself cannot guarantee an orderly replacement of naval warships, and it will be even more difficult for the United Kingdom to replace them at that time.

As for the next cycle, let’s talk about it when the time comes. Let’s get over the 30 to [-] years in front of us. If it doesn’t work right now, what about the future?

The current United States is definitely not in a hurry, and it will not feel that the tonnage of the Royal Navy is any threat.

The United States did not enter the quagmire of the Vietnam War, and its national strength was intact, and it could start the shipbuilding plan at any time.They don't pay much attention to the Royal Navy, which is only a quarter of its total tonnage. Americans don't look down on the Royal Navy, let alone the Red Navy, which is not very strong.

Alan Wilson thought from the perspective of the United States. Before getting involved in the Vietnam War, the Americans would not have thought that this war would have such a profound significance.

A war caused five workers and seven injuries in the United States, and the country was about to be turned upside down, not to mention the normal change of the navy.

As long as the UK can stay out of the way and maintain a normal naval change, this will be a good opportunity to narrow its maritime power.

If the Red Navy remains unchanged in the historical trend, it will pose a strong challenge to the US Navy in more than ten years.At that time, in order to maintain the advantage of the free world over the Soviet Union, even in terms of the size of the Royal Navy, the United States will do more to win over the United Kingdom.

So far, Alan Wilson is still thinking about how to be independent and be a valuable ally.

I didn't think about how to defeat the Soviet Union, let alone defeat the Soviet Union independently.To make Britain independent and defeat the Soviet Union, it is not enough to give a map, unless the Soviet Union is talking about his son, is this possible?

On the issue of the navy, the Admiral's daughter naturally has a say. Pamela Mountbatten asked if Alan Wilson wanted to strengthen the naval power in the Far East.

"No, a few centaurs are enough, there is no need to add more." Alan Wilson flatly denied.

The current layout of the Royal Navy is simply that it becomes weaker as it goes east. The mainland and the Atlantic are the Queen Victoria class that is not fully completed, the Mediterranean and the Middle East are the Queen Elizabeth and the Eagle class, and the Pacific Fleet in the Far East is left with Centaurs. class and a bunch of battleships cruising normally at fourteen knots.

Of course, it is still enough to deal with Indonesia. Besides, Malaya has air force support, and Western Australia also has Vulcan bombers.

The table was covered with detailed intelligence on the current situation in Indonesia, especially now the assessment of the strength and influence of the Indonesian Communist Party.

After Iran killed Mossadegh, Allen Wilson is now thinking about how to take advantage of the victory.

Complete the plan that he has planned for a long time, but has been patiently waiting for the opportunity to appear.The reason why Pamela Mountbatten just suggested strengthening the Royal Pacific Fleet was because she saw so much information about Indonesia and thought her husband was going to do something to Indonesia.

Do something for sure, but nothing to do with the Royal Navy, what does strengthening the Pacific Fleet do?An amphibious landing on Jakarta?Isn't that the Asian version of the Bay of Pigs landing?It's enough for the son to do something embarrassing, and Daddy will save face.

"Indonesia is an archipelago, so why not use the Royal Navy?" Pamela Mountbatten was puzzled, how to deal with Indonesia without the Royal Navy.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run. Sukarno is not stupid. If the Pacific Fleet is strengthened, it cannot be hidden from the Jakarta government."

Alan Wilson took the assessment report of the Indonesian Communist Party and said in his heart that if I can't succeed, can I still fail?Where there is success, there is failure. Whoever said that instigating a coup d'état will surely succeed, failure is the mother of success.

When it comes to action, one must choose a good entry point. He feels that in the months after the Cuban missile crisis and the battle for the roof of the world, when the whole world rejoices that peace has not come easily, action is very appropriate.

When everyone has just breathed a sigh of relief from the haze of nuclear war and is still exhausted, Alan Wilson can try to cooperate with the cultural czar.It can't be any later, otherwise there will be the possibility of long nights and many dreams.

When the civil servants of the Overseas Assets Management Committee arrived in Xiangjiang, the Hong Kong Governor's round of protests was officially declared a failure. This round of power struggles that had never met at all came to an end with Alan Wilson's victory.

Holding the Indonesian intelligence documents, Alan Wilson considered returning to London, concentrating on planning how to maximize the benefits next year.

In Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, under the witness of British Foreign Secretary Macmillan, the Dominion of Nigeria declared its formal independence under the announcement of Governor Azikiwe, amidst the cheers of 10 people present.

The newspapers in London uniformly expressed their optimism towards Nigeria's prospects. It seemed that a natural African hegemon was about to emerge. The last person to receive such treatment was Nehru, who had already become a powerful prime minister of a major country.

It seems that Azikiwe is also going to lead Nigeria on the road of fame and glory, preparing to start a glorious road to hegemony in Africa, not paying attention to France at all.

McMillan's recent days have seen both opportunities and risks. Britain finally accepted the plan offered by the United States and signed a memorandum. As the foreign secretary, he naturally bore the brunt of the Labor Party's firepower.

Fortunately, Eden, as the prime minister, expressed his trust in Macmillan in time. Just now that the Nigerian Dominion is about to become independent, Aiden suggested that Macmillan take the opportunity to reduce his sense of presence and go to Lagos to witness the independence ceremony, so that the Labor Party will lose the target of criticism. , and he stayed to deal with the Labor Party.

This was a good idea, and Macmillan readily accepted it. As a result, there was a rare situation in the Foreign Office of the British Empire where neither the Foreign Secretary nor the Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office was in London.

Alan Wilson and McMillan almost returned to London. Only one day later, the results of the cabinet reorganization were announced.

"Dear Minister, you are welcome to lead the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Alan Wilson welcomed the arrival of Labo Butler. As for the former Foreign Secretary and current Education Minister Macmillan, he has already forget.

It is normal for people to take a cold tea, but it is said that the foundation of a country lies in education. Macmillan's appointment as Minister of Education also reflects the importance that Prime Minister Eden attaches to the cause of education.And this time the cabinet was reorganized, McMillan was not kicked out of the cabinet, and he was still one of the cabinet ministers. Isn't this a good result?

"Alan, I've heard about you. You are a very thoughtful executive secretary." Rabo Butler held out his hand and shook hands with Alan Wilson. "There are a lot of jobs, and we need to cooperate sincerely in the future."

"Of course, our aim is to fully cooperate with the minister's work." Alan Wilson smiled and said in a firm tone, "I thought the former ministers would attend the NATO foreign ministers' meeting. Now that the minister has just taken office, let's discuss this matter." Things come in time."

In fact, fate is sometimes very interesting. The Minister of Education appointed by Macmillan was exactly the post of Rabo Butler before the war. Rabo Butler served as the Minister of Education in World War II. Reform Act, establishing free secondary education.

After Churchill lost to Attlee, Rabo Butler assisted in reforming the Conservative Party and announced the "Industrial Charter" on behalf of the Conservative Party, and then promulgated the "Agricultural Charter" and other documents, formally agreeing to the nationalization proposal proposed by the Labor Party The policy of mixing the economy and building a welfare state, thus eliminating the difference in policy with the Labor Party, has greatly changed the image of the Conservative Party in the minds of British voters and has won the support of many workers.

Rabo Butler supported the Munich Conference in World War II, and supported consensus politics after the war. This time, the purpose of being appointed by Prime Minister Eden as Foreign Secretary is ready to be revealed. He is reliable... and firmly defends any propositions of the Prime Minister and the party leader.

Chapter 110, My Son Charlotte

Looking at it this way, Rabo Butler, the foreign secretary, is a pure tool man in the eyes of the prime minister.A prime minister's answerer who resolutely implements Eden's diplomatic strategy, such a role.

After Macmillan's suspected disloyalty, Aiden is now more inclined to thoroughly implement his own diplomatic strategy. After careful selection, Rabo Butler was selected.

Alan Wilson guessed so, but the actual situation is similar. Aiden replaced Macmillan on the grounds that the current government has accepted the Labor Party's criticism. Of course, in Aiden's own dictation, this is the protection of Macmillan.

Just as Rabo Butler took office, he ran into the upcoming NATO foreign ministers' meeting. "I heard that the United States is going to put pressure on it, and I hope that European countries will give a clear answer to the colonial issue."

"That's it!" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. Mr. Kennedy is really motivated. A reaction stop incident is really useless. family allowance.

Tens of millions of dollars is a lot of money in the eyes of many countries, but it is really not a big expenditure for the United States.

"If the United States takes a tough attitude, we suggest that the Netherlands push Suriname out for independence. Under the watchful eyes of the United States, it is meaningless to colonize any place in the Americas. The huge expenditure is far from keeping up with the benefits, and it should be let go in time."

Alan Wilson thought of this wonderful place in South America, the world's shit stick, France, the god's filial son, and the sea coachman Holland, each of which has not been in the world for hundreds of years, almost capsized in the little Guyana.

Guyana not only dragged the Netherlands down badly, but also almost fell into the hands of the UK. Fortunately, the UK reacted quickly and ran away first.Otherwise, would a colony still want to squeeze British wool?

In the current world, it is still too late to kick Guyana out quickly, and the Netherlands will not be able to get rid of it in the later years.

"Old people are gradually withering, like leaves falling in the wind." After a pleasant meeting with the new Foreign Secretary, Alan Wilson left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he couldn't help sighing the elegy of the colonial era on the way.

The poorest working man in London, England, would puff out his chest with confidence when he thought of the industry and wealth of the British Empire!What's more, he is the secretary-general who controls huge overseas assets.

No. 70 in Whitehall, Norman Brooke was sitting in danger, waiting for Alan Wilson to come to report on his trip to Asia. He said bluntly when they first met, "The governor is very angry this time."

"The overall interests of hundreds of thousands of colleagues are greater than the local self-interests." Allen Wilson answered without hesitation, "Hong Kong's today also has the credit of Malaya. Since two years ago, through Hong Kong and Portugal's Macau, there have been four 500 million tons of rice were smuggled, Xiangjiang accepted the help of Malaya, and got the support of London, so it can’t keep all the benefits for itself, this kind of behavior is very selfish.”

Of course, Alan Wilson does not deny that his wife Pamela Mountbatten's road to grain trading started in a big country first, and she also gained a lot of benefits.For example, now my wife really has Chinese silver in her hands.

Xiangjiang relied on the transfer station to accept the gift, and then the governor of Hong Kong talked about financial independence, isn't that a joke?This is equivalent to the UK investing in a country, and you nationalize it as soon as you get some income and let the UK go?

This is because everyone is British, Alan Wilson sent people to integrate and see how he treated Mossadegh. The governor of Hong Kong should feel honored to treat him like this.

As the cabinet secretary, Norman Brook certainly felt that Alan Wilson was doing the right thing. The so-called financial independence is nonsense. There are so many British-funded enterprises in Xiangjiang, what kind of financial independence are you talking about?

"The current situation is still satisfactory." Norman Brook said irrelevantly, "Maintaining the balance between the European Community and the Commonwealth has always been our top priority."

Not relying on any one market is what the UK has been pursuing.From this point of view, it is not surprising that joining the European Community was initially criticized.Because at the beginning of joining the European Community, each other should be exempted from taxes.

After Alan Wilson went to the Federal Republic of Germany, he determined that the European continent would not have a competitive relationship with the UK in the short term, and the UK had enough time to adjust.Under this premise, the European Community was formed by preemptively formulating a tax rate that is relatively favorable to the United Kingdom.

This European Community is not the European Community in history. Since the UK has become the leading country, it cannot sit idly by and watch the rules that are not conducive to the UK emerge. It can be said that from the very beginning, the European Community in this world cannot play the role of unifying Europe. .

Before World War II, the United Kingdom had the Commonwealth of Nations that could rely on its own system and accounted for the bulk of its trade volume.After the emergence of the European Community, the UK's goal is to maintain a balanced trade and not rely too much on a single market.

In fact, in the 60s in the original history, the foreign trade volume of the UK and the traditional Commonwealth countries has dropped to one-third, and the trade with Europe has exceeded 50.00%.The relationship between Britain and the Commonwealth has become more and more distant.

At present, such a thing has not happened yet, which shows the role of the Malayan colony.The UK's local single-core market is not capable of influencing the Asian direction, so it needs to rebuild a core.

In the original history, the United Kingdom has been more and more influenced by the European market over time. In order to balance this influence, it must rely on the military balance of the United States. In the end, the British Commonwealth, which is the basis of the three-ring diplomacy, has become more and more insignificant, and the United Kingdom has gradually failed to find itself. s position.

If the Commonwealth gives way to the European market, it will also cause changes in Australia and other countries.If Australia believes that the United Kingdom is satisfied with being a European country, the emergence of this mentality will also accelerate the loss of British influence.

No matter from any angle, maintaining the current situation, Malaya is extremely important.
