"When I was in British India, I was always paying attention to what was going on in the East Indies. I also did some minor work."

Alan Wilson took out the prepared information and distributed it to the representatives of various countries. "What you see in front of you is the population distribution of the East Indies. It can be seen that the core of the entire Dutch East Indies is two adjacent islands.

Java and Sumatra. This is the core of the East Indies and is where the resistance is strongest."

The current population of the East Indies must have exceeded 80 million, and I won't say whether it is 100 million.

Among them, Java Island has a population of nearly 50 million, accounting for about 60% of the population of the East Indies. Sumatra has 15 million people, accounting for one-fifth of the total population of the East Indies.

Excluding the 65 million book population, the remaining 15 million book population is Sulawesi Island ranking third. The populations of Kalimantan Island and New Guinea can be said to be 30% compared to the previous three islands.

The land is vast and the people are sparse.

The current population distribution of the East Indies is consistent with that of later generations. Java leads the overall situation, Sumatra is a auxiliary, and the remaining islands are under jurisdiction. This is not a small number for European countries, but within Asia it is completely territorial.

It is sparsely populated.

While the representatives from various countries were looking at the materials and illustrations, Alan Wilson's words attracted their attention again, "If there is any experience worth learning from working in British India, it is that the scale of the colony must not be larger than that of the British Empire."

The mainland was too strong. Compared with the British Empire, the population of British India was too large. Today it is already too large."

"I hope that countries can learn lessons and not make mistakes on similar issues."

Many people, including Armand, nodded. In fact, there was a similar plan in the Netherlands, and now the British took the initiative to speak out, making the plan more feasible.

Of course, among those who nodded, there was no French representative, Nino Bertrand. France’s understanding of the colonies was no worse than Britain’s, or even clearer. However, it chose to resolutely suppress it rather than allow the colonies to become independent.

The French are full of martial virtues, and if they insist on going up to gesticulate, Alan Wilson is embarrassed to stop them. At least for now, Britain and France have the same general direction of looking at the colonies, but there are some differences in the methods.

However, due to the friendship between the colonial empires, Alan Wilson began to take the initiative to show his kindness and said, "Mr. Nino, in fact, the Indo-China Federation is under the leadership of France. Although I believe that France has the power to quell the resistance of the Vietnamese. But the remaining

Some backup is never a bad thing."

"Mr. Allen, please speak out if you have any ideas. We would also like to thank the United Kingdom for sending the Royal Navy to help the expeditionary force reach Asia." Nino Bertrand nodded after hearing this, indicating that Alan Wilson could speak directly if he had anything to say.

"I mean, the partition strategy also applies to French colonies in Asia." Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and put his elbows on the table, "For example, divide some of the land in southern Vietnam near Cambodia and assign it to Cambodia.

Management. The quantity does not necessarily need to be large. One or two thousand square kilometers is enough to cause conflicts. Too much may cause a huge reaction from the Vietnamese, but too little is not enough to cause conflicts.”

Alan Wilson shared the experience of colonial partition with various countries, and stated without doubt, "Today's world order is still the world order drawn up by Britain and France before the war. This order is the colonial system. It is true that the British Empire

France and France are the biggest beneficiaries of this system, but you are also a beneficiary of it. Think about the fact that our European countries are so small, but the territories under their names are so vast. What do the United States and the Soviet Union think? They do not need raw materials and markets.

What?"

This time Nino Bertrand nodded. As early as when the world war was still going on and Free France was still resisting, Americans had mentioned the colonial system many times, and France had also expressed dissatisfaction with American remarks many times.

Alan Wilson also knew this, because when the United States expressed national self-determination to French Asian colonies, Alexander Cadogan, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, once said, "The Americans just did not say it openly, but superficially

The above mentioned France, but actually there is also Britain.”

"Soviet people?" Armand muttered to himself, seemingly helpless against the huge country to the east.

"No, it's an American." Alan Wilson and Nino Bertrand spoke at the same time, correcting the Dutchman's thoughts.

"The Soviet Red Navy is weak and cannot reach our overseas territories. The United States can do it. It will take at least ten years for the Red Navy to develop. Within ten years, the threats to overseas territories can only come from the United States." Alan Wilson said decisively.

He said, "When choosing between the United States and the Soviet Union, we would naturally lean towards the United States, but when it comes to overseas territories, it is the United States, not the Soviet Union, that we should be wary of, at least in the short term."

In fact, the East Indies finally became independent, and it was indeed the Americans who finally judged that Indonesian independence could be won over.

It was just to put pressure on the Netherlands, but the process almost overturned. During the Sucino period, it became more inclined to the Soviet Union.

"Currently, Kalimantan and New Guinea are sparsely populated and have large areas and are maneuverable. I must say that preparations should be made now." Alan Wilson reminded Armand, "With the power of the Netherlands,

Just like the dilemma faced by the UK, the colony was too large and the cost of suppressing it increased sharply, resulting in all domestic expenditures being on military expenditures. In the end, it had to give up, but the situation faced by the Netherlands was still worse than the foundation of British India.

Much better. That is, the East Indies is an archipelago with an uneven population distribution. Indonesia has almost no local navy. Now most of the resistance is concentrated on Java and Sumatra."

"It would be much easier to separate the island of Kalimantan than to govern it together with British India. As for New Guinea, Australia's understanding must be obtained. The Australians must understand that once Indonesia becomes an independent country, its population will grow.

Speed ​​will soon become a threat to Australia."

"If Australia can be made to understand the situation after the East Indies became Indonesia and understand the Dutch partition of New Guinea, it can be regarded as a line of defense. In this way, Kalimantan has British Malaya to support it, and Dutch New Guinea has Australia.

With help, there is still no problem in terms of resources.”

How could Alan Wilson forget Australia, the country that most believed blood was thicker than water?

Australia has participated in almost all wars initiated by the United Kingdom and the United States. It can be said that it has dedicated itself to the Five Eyes Alliance to death. Regardless of whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, as long as a war is launched, there must be the participation of the Australian army.

In fact, if you look at the geographical location, you will know that Australia is in the most densely populated area in the world, and Australia itself is sparsely populated. The population of Indonesia is a natural pressure on Australia itself. There is also China in East Asia, and India in South Asia. They are not from our ethnic group.

From a similar perspective, Australia is a country facing this pressure.

Unlike Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, the United Kingdom has Europe blocking the population pressure from Africa. As long as European countries can handle it, the British will not feel threatened.

Canada's firewall is the United States. As long as the United States can handle Mexican immigrants, Canada will be safe. New Zealand's firewall is Australia. Only Australia has no protection and can only resist.

As soon as later presidents came to power, Americans began to be unable to deal with the problem of illegal immigration, and Australia immediately responded to the president's policy because Australia has a smaller population and faces the massive population of these local countries.

Australia has always been the country in the Five Eyes alliance that is most sensitive to external threats. It is alone overseas. Even after the CIA determined the situation in a battle and destroyed the Indonesian Communist Party and turned Indonesia into a pro-American country, Australia and Indonesia

The relationship has always been very bad.

The most direct evidence is that Australia has always adhered to the White Australia Policy and resolutely rejected non-European immigrants. The White Australia Policy persisted until the 1970s, and was abandoned ten years after the United States had abandoned its apartheid policy.

As long as the Netherlands can make Australia understand the efforts of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands to protect Australia, Australia will definitely reciprocate. This is something Alan Wilson is fully confident about.

"Indeed, as Mr. Allen said, the Netherlands ignored Australia's feelings. Although communication was carried out, it now seems that the communication was obviously not enough. On the issue of New Guinea, if there is Australia's support, there will be more room for maneuver.

many."

Armand nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, this matter will definitely require the help of the UK. With the close relationship between Australia and the UK as a bridge, the Netherlands is willing to have a sincere negotiation with Australia to decide the future direction of the East Indies."

"Of course we are willing to help." Alan Wilson nodded, "As long as the Netherlands is willing to negotiate sincerely, this matter has a great chance of success."

At least before the 1960s, it was difficult to say that the United States' influence on Australia was completely suppressed by the United Kingdom. Because after the United States entered the role of world hegemon, it began to move towards the colonies of European countries.

Under this circumstance, the "Colombo Plan" for the development of South Asia and Southeast Asia initiated by the United Kingdom was not only the result of the United Kingdom maintaining its traditional influence in Asia, but also the product of the British policy in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

The Colombo Plan was proposed by the Australian Foreign Minister on behalf of the United Kingdom. It can be seen that before the 1960s, Australia still trusted the United Kingdom more.
