British civil servant

After a long time, no one answered, Alan Wilson called the secretary to bring up the document and said, "Since there is no objection, then sign it."

Chapter 273 The Flexible Aung San

"What if we can't accept this coercive attitude?" Wu Suxin stood up unwillingly and said in a rather tough tone.

"That's simple, restart the investigation. You are all big figures in Myanmar. During the investigation, in order to prevent unnecessary interference, it should be understandable to be detained in a different place?" Alan Wilson said with a look of good things on his face, "After thoroughly After defeating the Axis Powers, we will carry out necessary purges, and I believe the United Nations will definitely agree with it. Our duty in the UK is to send you to China. Of course, whether you can come back is not certain."

Before waiting for the other party to refute, Alan Wilson said selfishly, "You are very prestigious in the eyes of the Burmese, and there may be some confusion after being imprisoned by other countries. I can communicate with Nehru on this point. I believe he is very I support the Indian troops stationed in Myanmar to maintain stability, but like the previous question, it is not certain whether they will leave after they come.”

Alan Wilson connected these two things together and told the independent leaders of Myanmar in front of him.

Don't expect any justice to come. Even if it comes to the International Court of Justice, these people will definitely be liquidated as pro-Japanese factions based on their ambiguous relationship with the Japanese army. There will be no second way out. The only thing is whether someone will pursue it.

Maybe or not, depending on whether they cooperated with the policies of the British Empire.

"New Delhi Telegram, Commissioner." Burgess' secretary came in through the door, holding a telegram from New Delhi.

"Just read it directly." Burgess was full of helplessness, resting his hand on his forehead and said absently. He was still thinking about how to mediate the current tense atmosphere.

"The riots in the Andaman Islands have subsided, and the rioters have been brought to justice. They are very clean." The secretary read the contents of the telegram according to the script.

"Wow! The elite troops of Fengfumi Yamashita seem to be dead, and the Indians have done a good job." Alan Wilson didn't say much at first, but when the secretary was halfway through reading, he suddenly realized that this telegram came at the right time. , with a high-spirited tone, "The Indian soldiers are not bad, 8 or [-] people will be killed if they say they will be killed."

This is blackmail, and Aung San can tell it without watching the performance of the British guy in front of him.

But he has to admit that this blackmail is very effective. Although they, senior Burmese officials, don't know the inside story about the Andaman Islands, they also know about some recent actions, such as the British air force mobilization.

But I didn't expect that the British were so straightforward that they seemed to have razed the island to the ground.

"Don't be dazed, sign it quickly." Alan Wilson urged in a bewildered tone, "Now that the island is empty again, because of the necessary procedures of democracy, then I propose the second method, and you don't have to. You can go to China or the Andaman Islands, choose one for yourself.”

The sound of signing the document shows that Aung San and others have made a choice not to go to China or the Andaman Islands, but to stay in Yangon and contribute to the struggle for national independence.

"That's right, I seem to have seen the scene of you leading Myanmar after Myanmar's independence. Remember, as long as you are alive, you are qualified to enjoy the glory. Seeing that Myanmar will become independent in recent years, don't fall before the dawn In the dark." Alan Wilson clapped his hands and cheered for Aung San and others, "And to be honest, the time for Myanmar's independence must be after British India, I hope you have a mental preparation."

Only Alan Wilson was left in the conference room to sing his own solo show. Of course, he did not forget Burgess, who was stunned. He pointed to the Cambridge Five and said, "My friend Burgess is a kind person. But don't take this This kind of goodwill is regarded as weakness, as long as British India does not have independence for a day, mobilizing Indian troops to suppress Burma is a trump card that the Governor-General of British India can use at any time, and the Congress Party is very supportive."

"During the last time, I hope that both of us can live in peace, and we will leave naturally when we finish the matter, but I hope you all remember that what the British Empire gives you is yours, and what the British Empire doesn't give you is yours. You can't grab it."

Now that Aung San and others have signed the document, Alan Wilson temporarily put away the colonialist face, began to present the facts and reason, and clearly told the other party what cards the British still have in their hands, so that the two sides can have a sense of each other's strength. A clear understanding is good for everyone, so as to avoid strategic misjudgments.

Just because the British Empire has no money now, it doesn’t mean it can’t beat your colonies. It’s okay to make trouble, freedom of speech.But don't make a fuss and just take it seriously, it's not good...

When Aung San and others were about to leave the conference room, Allen Wilson said to General Aung San's back, "The leaders of Kachin and Karen will arrive in Yangon in a few days. If Aung San has time, he can come here." Listen in."

This day was an unpleasant day for these independent leaders of Myanmar. In turn, Alan Wilson was in a very happy mood, joking with Burgess.

"Alan, you will arouse the disgust of the Burmese." Burgess frowned and was a little dissatisfied with Alan Wilson's impromptu performance just now, "It will increase the instability of Burma."

"Instability is the problem facing Myanmar after independence. We are leaving, and we don't care whether the Burmese will be in dire straits in the future?" Alan Wilson snorted softly, "As long as there is no major disturbance within two years, the supply Local demand is enough. Other problems are the problems of the Burmese themselves, besides, isn’t the effect very good?”

"Has China really made a request?" Burgess asked a few questions about the blackmail just after hearing what Alan Wilson said.

"Of course not, but it's not difficult. We can bribe the chief executive of a province near Myanmar, write a public announcement in the name of the central government, and we will send them over." Alan Wilson's face flashed a trick. The smile, the triumphant energy is like the reappearance of yesterday when Pokina and Anna were together.

In fact, at the level of the Cannon Party, it is really not difficult for Alan Wilson to operate. Chang Gong is just a large governor of Liangjiang. He has no control over the border provinces, and he can do it with just some benefits.

The key is to let Aung San and others understand that they will suffer if they tear their faces.

Now the British Empire may not be as powerful as it was before the war, but that was just a promise to the United States and the Soviet Union, and it could still strike hard in the colonies.

"Then Nehru?" Burgess made a long voice, and waited for the next sentence at Alan Wilson's forehead.

"If there is news of the merger of India and Burma, Nehru will really jump for joy." Alan Wilson replied in an affirmative tone, "Nehru will agree to any price."

India originally had an eastward strategy after independence, with the purpose of establishing influence in countries in Southeast Asia that are deeply influenced by Indian culture, and the scope is probably all Southeast Asian countries.

In fact, this judgment is not wrong. Except for Vietnam, Southeast Asian countries have been influenced by Indian culture in history. Whether it is Myanmar, Thailand or Cambodia, the influence of Indian culture far exceeds that of Chinese culture.

This is true, but modern India itself is not strong enough, and it cannot take advantage of its cultural advantages.

On another occasion, Aung San and his friends were also discussing today's encounter, criticizing Alan Wilson's outright colonial face.

"If we don't agree, what can he do?" Wu Su said indignantly, "He can really send us to China."

"He is also very honest. Didn't he just say that maybe he might or might not." Aung San said with a wry smile, "Actually the most worrying thing is that when we left, what he said about Kachin and Karen, of course, included Other tribes are armed. These tribes are really close to the UK, and they are not of one mind with the Burmese."

As soon as Aung San's words came out, the atmosphere became silent. In fact, the threats issued by Alan Wilson were all real threats. It's true.

The problem is that it is so real that people like Aung San will be intimidated.We have indeed cooperated with the Japanese, so it is possible to be sent to China. Indian nationalists do have bad intentions towards Myanmar, and some tribes in Myanmar do have a bad relationship with the Burmese.

Everything is real, as long as it is implemented, there is no way for Aung San and others to decipher it.

Once the ruling class becomes shameless, the ruled can only stare blankly. As long as they dare not rise up, all dissatisfaction can only be suppressed, and do not rely on external forces to rise up?Aung San and the others were really not sure.

"We are not familiar with this person yet, we should know more about him, so I decided to accept his invitation to listen in on his conversation with the Kachin Karen leaders." Out of the flexibility in the struggle, if you can't beat it, you can join it temporarily.

Aung San's goodwill reached Alan Wilson's ears not long after, and he smiled at Wu Dinglun who received him in Myanmar, "See, don't think that fighting for independence is such a great person, you Chinese have a saying , Good birds choose trees to live in, and they can be used on Aung San."

Gandhi is enough to get into the drama. If you say you are on a hunger strike, you will go on a hunger strike. Isn’t it the same as saying something to the Muslim League?Why can't Aung San compare himself with Gandhi?Demonstrating flexible ethical standards is logical.

The place where Alan Wilson and the leaders of Karen and Kachin met was set in the clubs in the British residential area. In the Asian colonies including Burma, the European clubs are their spiritual fortresses and the real power of the British Empire. It is the bliss that native officials and millionaires yearn for in vain.

Although most of the members of the club are white, they also accept the local elite of the colony. There are very few clubs that do not accept the locals. The locals of the club are also an extension of the power of the colonial government.

Chapter 274 The one who knows the current affairs is a hero

Myanmar is divided into upper and lower Myanmar. Lower Myanmar is the Burmese residential area with Yangon as the core. Upper Myanmar has a larger area, and there are other tribes living in addition to the Burmese.

Unlike Lower Myanmar along the coast, Upper Myanmar is regarded as the heartland of the country, because although the Burmese rule in Lower Myanmar is more stable, Upper Myanmar is the place where they started, which is equivalent to the Central Plains of China.

The Karen, Kachin, and Shan ethnic groups live in small numbers but cover a large area. These tribes live in half of the entire British Burma.

On the steps of the club stood a dun-haired Englishman with his hands in the pockets of his shorts, a bristly beard, light gray eyes set far apart, and strangely thin calves.This person is District Sheriff West.

Boring, he rocked back and forth on his heels, poking his upper lip so hard that his beard would scratch his nose.He tilted his head slightly to the side as a greeting.

Alan Wilson, Wu Dinglun and Aung San, who came here specially, nodded in response.On both sides of the club, there are patches of English flowers such as hollyhocks and petunias. These flowers have not been dried by the sun, and they are still blooming colorfully.

Alan Wilson was quite surprised that Aung San could appear. After all, he was really rude to people like Aung San. Of course, there was a reason for this. People like Aung San did have an affair with the Japanese army during World War II.

After thinking about it for a while, Alan Wilson came to his own judgment, and it's not surprising that Ang Lante joined after he couldn't beat him.

There is no need to deliberately hide anything, what Alan Wilson should do is still to be done, the three of them entered the club, and the tribal representatives inside were already waiting.

When several representatives saw Aung San himself, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, wondering why Aung San appeared here.

They even think that the British have committed an old problem, playing the trick of selling for a price.

Alan Wilson had absolutely no intention of this, but he was used to punching hard in the colony, and he didn't take Aung San seriously in his heart. It was as simple as that, and there was no special reason.

"Mr. Allen, why is Aung San here?" Shin Wanam, the leader of the Kachin armed forces, asked with a dark complexion. He was quite disgusted by Aung San's appearance, but he still tried to be polite.

"Whether he is present or not will not change anything." Alan Wilson said indifferently, "Since the fact exists, it cannot be resolved without you meeting. We talk about our affairs as if Aung San does not exist."

The relationship between the Burmese and other ethnic groups living in Myanmar is really tense.

The so-called European club, the conditions are just like that, there are only a few rooms in the club, one has a poor reading room, some are moldy, and the other has a dilapidated pool table.

There was also a bridge-room and a drawing-room, which looked out upon the river from wide verandahs, though at this hour all balconies were to be screened with green bamboo curtains.The lounge felt very unhomely, with coconut-leaf matting on the floor and wicker tables and chairs littered with glossy illustrated newspapers.

Colonists only have some privileges in the colony, which does not mean that the life in the colony can really be compared with that in the native land.

Alan Wilson is not a picky person, so he just sat down Shi Shiran, just facing Sim Wanan, the Kachin leader has a ruddy complexion, good looks, and a little fat.

"I am grateful to the Kachin and Karen for their help to the British Empire during the war." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude to the leaders of these tribal armed forces. All the same, they are all concerned by London."

"Mr. Alan, in fact, our Kachin's request is very simple. We want autonomy. Many people think that we and the Burmese are not suitable to be in the same country. We know their virtues very well." Even Aung San himself is in Here, Sim Wanan also did not restrain himself, and his attitude towards the Burmese was undisguised, just purely disgusting.

"I will truthfully report your opinion to London." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile on his face. "This kind of request is not too much. It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. There must be a reason."

General Aung San looked serious, his eyes wandered back and forth among the armed leaders such as Alan Wilson and Xin Wanan, hesitant to speak, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Alan Wilson has a general understanding of the situation in Myanmar. The contradiction between the main ethnic group and the minority group is not so rare.

Before encountering the British Empire, the Gongbang Dynasty of Burma could be regarded as having abundant military virtues, conquering east and west to expand its territory.The life of other ethnic groups under the rule is the same, similar to the relationship between the Han in the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu in the Qing Dynasty and other ethnic groups.

Alan Wilson, who has his own political experience, has really participated in similar discussions before. When the ethnicity post bar was still there, he entered a certain minority post bar again and saw a long-experienced topic, the dispute between Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Curious in my heart that this kind of topic has been brought to the third-party battlefield?Then I went in and took a look, and was impressed by one of the answers, "Ming Dynasty was ruled by the Han people, and the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus. Two bastards who have a position, ask us which ruler is better? The South Great Wall was built from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. , whose share is missing?"

This is the attitude of tribes such as Kachin and Karen towards the British and Burmese. The Kampong Dynasty forced assimilation of these tribes.

Instead, the British Empire suppressed the Burmese, and the division and rule gave these tribes breathing space.Nothing has changed for them. What has changed is the superior Burmese, who now belong to the ruled just like them.

Aung San himself was on edge when Alan Wilson promised to report the voice of Karen and Kachin to London.These tribes have a small population, but they live in a large area. If the British really want to do this, the whole of Myanmar will be injured.

"Mr. Aung San, what are you thinking?" At some point, Alan Wilson tilted his head and stared at Aung San with a half-smile, "Are you thinking about how to take remedial measures? If you can really think that way , indicating that there is still salvation."

Part of the reason for bringing Aung San here is also to prove the previous threat. The British Empire has a way to harm Burma.

Don’t think that Burma is the only one that has the ability to add obstacles to the British Empire. If Britain restores its true colors of imperialism and in turn adds obstacles to Myanmar, Myanmar will definitely suffer more losses than Britain.

Turning his head, Alan Wilson promised to find a way to support these armed forces with some supplies.At the same time, we also hope that these armed forces will do well what they demand.

Then he took out the photo of huanghuali and gave it to Xin Wanan and others to express the need for this kind of tree.

There was no black-box operation in the whole process, and it was all done clearly. It made Aung San realize what is called old-fashioned imperialism. It happened that British India was disarming. In line with the idea of ​​waste utilization, these cut off the remaining weapons , can be delivered to the trustworthy hands of the British Empire.

Aung San asked himself, the trustworthy people in Alan Wilson's mouth do not seem to include the Burmese at present.

The negotiations between the two parties were carried out in a friendly atmosphere. Alan Wilson received a series of guarantees including but not limited to jadeite and huanghuali, and settled all private matters, and also handled official business by the way, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Seeing that it was lunch time, Alan Wilson asked everyone to go to the club organizer West.

"Mr. West, it seems that Burmese locals are not very welcome." Alan Wilson mumbled with food stuffed in his mouth, "Actually, this is not necessary, this is not our place, and being able to cash out and leave is more important than anything else." .Since you are a guest, there is no reason to offend the owner here. Wouldn’t it be better to return to the native land?”

"My God, but I just can't take it, I just don't want those black, smelly pigs in the only place we can enjoy ourselves, and the gentlemen here are all respectable and support me. I don't care about some people and those in the market. Scums make friends. If they're happy to hang out with them, and drink whiskey with nigger friends, that's their business. Outside the club, they can do what they like. But for God's sake, bringing niggers in is another matter Something happened."

"Uh, well, pretend I didn't say it." Alan Wilson listened to West's long speech without panting, and it took a while to realize that the black man was talking about the Burmese, and he put down the idea of ​​​​correcting the other party's three views.

Even in later generations, I hate racism and I hate black double standards a lot.West just wasn't hiding it, there's nothing to blame.

In general, except for the episode of West, today’s results are still very rich. Before leaving, Alan Wilson took a rough emerald stone that Sinwanan gave him, which was about [-] centimeters square. There is no research on jadeite, but judging from the emerald green color, it should be of very good quality.

If the materials of the Emerald Palace had this standard, it would not be able to be built in British Malaya. It would be too dangerous, and it would be safer to put it in the British mainland.

"Does Mr. Allen have some prejudice against Myanmar? In fact, we are not wrong to fight for national independence." Aung San, who has a flexible moral bottom line, seized the opportunity and said, "This does not mean that we want to be hostile to the British Empire."

"Oh, yes. I really want to hear that when you cooperated with the Japanese army, would you think that the British Empire could come back?" Alan Wilson said with a smile on his face, "What is Mr. Aung San's Japanese pseudonym? Understand?"

"I..." Aung San had just opened his mouth, and Alan Wilson jumped repeatedly, "Of course this is not important. The expectation of the British Empire is to ensure the stability of British Burma in the next two years, so some of the previous mistakes can actually be done. Don't pursue it. It depends on General Aung San's choice."

On the third day of Alan Wilson's arrival in Yangon, Aung San personally presided over the currency reform in Myanmar aimed at getting rid of colonial influence, which kicked off amidst much anticipation.Upon receiving the news, Alan Wilson smiled very happily, and those who know current affairs are Junjie.

Chapter 275 Vivian is Back

The Burmese currency reform plan, as long as Aung San and others stand on the platform, it will naturally be passed.

This is an achievement he has achieved in only three days after he arrived in Myanmar, which is certainly something to be happy about.

The most fundamental reason is that Aung San and others had dirty buttocks during World War II, and they were bluffed by him, saying that he would tear off the ugly face of imperialism at any time and deal with Burma.

In fact, Alan Wilson would not do anything to Aung San. Since Aung San was assassinated in history, he only got a false name, so he had to find a way to let Aung San live to see.

Anyway, he has seen the future of Aung San's death, and the British Empire has not benefited, so try another possibility.

Burgess was also very surprised to get the support of Aung San and others so smoothly, so he invited Alan Wilson to come over and talk about how to deal with Myanmar.

The butler brought some beers.Burgess sat across from Alan Wilson, stroking a bottle of cold beer with two small hands.

His brow was sweating, and he looked sullen, but no longer angry.He was resentful and headstrong at all times, but the anger dissipated quickly and there was no need to apologize for it.

Burgess was annoyed that Alan Wilson was taking the lead, which might intensify the situation in Myanmar, but now he must admit that the other party made the right bet, and made these Burmese who have been pursuing independence obedient.

Alan Wilson understands this point, the rich second generation is not bad in nature, it's just a little self-centered.

"It's hard to imagine that they supported currency reform so easily. I thought it would take some effort." Burgess offered to pour Alan Wilson a glass of wine, and said rather strangely, "Maybe my judgment was wrong. "

"Actually, you just need to know that even after the trauma of the war, the colonies still have fewer cards than the British Empire." Alan Wilson took a sip of local Burmese beer, but it was not as hard to swallow as imagined, and continued. , "People like Aung San have no position, and they may not even be united. When Myanmar becomes independent, there may be internal strife right away. Who can say for sure."

The assassination of Aung San in history was not necessarily done by Britain.It may be that Myanmar is killing each other. This is not a new thing. We can share adversity but not share wealth. There are too many similar examples in history.

"In many places, we don't respect us because we are too soft on them. The only effective policy is to treat them as stinky mud. This is a critical moment. We must not let go of the prestige we can get. Everyone must Join together and say together, we are the masters, and you are the beggars."

Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, there is still a lot to learn from working in the colonies.

But it doesn't matter, there are many opportunities, he will definitely be able to rescue these heroes of the empire from the clutches of the Soviets, and work hard for this goal.

"Alan is too harsh on these colonies, but what they are after is not too much." Burgess could not help but retort after listening to the outright imperialist remarks.

"My request is not too much, I just want to restore the mainland to its peaceful state as soon as possible. But at present, there are American debts abroad, and the Soviet army is pressing the border in Europe. What does the empire have now? Only these colonies that can be cashed out, they It’s not impossible to be independent, but you have to pay a certain price. Independence is not obtained by praying, there are gains and losses, and those who pursue independence should understand this truth.”
