"That's right!" Alan Wilson frowned and thought. If Aung San didn't object, everything would be fine. And it's best not to object, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with General Aung San.
We must know that the Japanese prisoners of war and pro-Japanese faction in the Andaman Islands are destined to meet a tragic end. So why was Aung San’s behavior during the Japanese attack on British Burma not liquidated?
This problem is actually very simple. The British only liquidated the general pro-Japanese faction. Except for British Malaya, no capable pro-Japanese faction in Southeast Asia was liquidated. High position and power itself is a kind of protection. General Aung San
It's in this column.
Now whoever blocks the local recovery of the British Empire is the enemy. Alan Wilson doesn't care how many parts of Myanmar he will be divided into in the future. If the national hero of Myanmar does not cooperate, he may have to negotiate with the pro-British armed forces of the Karen and Kachin.
Talked.
Now that the partition of British India is almost finalized, there is nothing wrong with Burma, which was once a province of British India, following suit.
In fact, Alan Wilson immediately asked Burgess to meet with the leaders of the Kroenqin and discuss the issue of the Emerald House. The Japanese prisoners of war in Burma are now mainly supervised by the armed forces of these two ethnic groups.
Official matters cannot be delayed, but on the basis of taking into account official matters, it is also okay to ask about private matters. If possible, Alan Wilson even wants to build an Emerald Palace as a gift to Pamela, and it will be built in British Malay
Ya's done.
He came here on a business trip, but was unwilling to live in the Governor's Mansion. Burgess arranged for Wu Dinglun to arrange accommodation. Alan Wilson was also very curious about this second-generation Chinese and had no objection.
"Did your surname come from your own, or did you just follow the Burmese customs?" Alan Wilson was quite curious about this question. Burmese people basically don't have surnames. Ordinary Burmese people's names are just given names, and they don't have surnames that represent family inheritance.
This is not surprising, it is very common in Asia, and before the 20th century, Japanese and Thai people also had names like this, with only first names and no surnames.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan forced all citizens to choose a surname. Before, only a few nobles had surnames. And until now, the Japanese royal family has maintained this tradition. All Japanese royal families do not have surnames, only first names.
Wu, the so-called Burmese surname, actually means Mr. Wu Ding, so the name Wu Ding confused Alan Wilson.
"My surname comes with it, and it coincides with the honorifics of the Burmese people." Wu Dinglun replied with a respectful attitude, "The relationship between the Burmese and many ethnic groups is not good, but General Aung San is a person who is on the go.
.”
"Maybe." Alan Wilson looked at Wu Dinglun and suddenly asked a question, "If you want to kill your competitor, don't say you don't know what method you will choose. If you can be a regional sheriff, you have already
You are no longer a low-level official. You are not a real Burmese. It would not be so easy without some additional means."
After listening to Alan Wilson's words, Wu Dinglun suppressed the words he wanted to deny, and said while thinking, "We are going to slander him, ruin his reputation, and finally let him be completely destroyed. This will be a very careful plan.
.”
"This is not a good idea!" After hearing this, Alan Wilson thought about it and objected, "It's too low-end. Mr. Wu, you have to understand that the person we want to make bad news is not an unlucky clerk or policeman, we want
The person who caused the scandal was a senior official, and for senior officials, senior officials are different from clerks after all. How to bring down a clerk? It's very simple. Charge him, bring more than 20 witnesses, remove him from office, and go to jail.
But it won't work here. Softly, softly, softly is my approach. No scandal, and most importantly no official investigation."
"Mr. Wu is qualified to be a regional police officer, but as you move up, you need to have a certain international perspective. This international perspective does not just rely on the British to do things, but has an insight into the changes. Don't tell me about this.
, Aung San and his friends may not have it either.”
After sending Alan Wilson to the British residential area in Yangon, Wu Dinglun left and returned home to relieve the fatigue of the day.
Behind the curtain in the living room of the house, a table has been set, with a large bowl of rice on it and a dozen plates containing curry, dried shrimps and cut green mangoes. Wu Dinglun staggered to the
At the table, he sat down with a grunt and immediately started eating hungrily. His wife stood behind him to serve him.
He quickly stuffed the rice into his mouth with his greasy fingers, and the bottom of the bowl was almost touching his nose. Every time he ate, he ate extremely fast, full of emotions, and ate a lot. It was not so much eating, but eating.
It's a kind of fun, indulging in curry and rice.
After a night's sleep, he had to tour the scenery of Burma with the Assistant to the British Indian Commissioner. After putting on the uniform of a police officer, he left home in a hurry.
"Mr. Wu, have you ever seen this kind of wood? Does it exist in Myanmar?" Alan Wilson took out a photo of Huanghuali and handed it to Wu Ding. How could he build a house without furniture?
Huanghuali will be valuable in later generations. Alan Wilson doesn’t know whether this kind of tree exists in Myanmar. It should not be a problem. After all, Qiongdao and Myanmar have similar dimensions. There is no reason to have such a large area in the same dimension.
There is no distribution of huanghuali in forest Myanmar, but the details and textures may be different.
"This is not uncommon in Myanmar. Although I don't know where it is specifically, I can ask about it." Wu Dinglun recognized this kind of tree at a glance and immediately said that everything was covered by him.
"Thank you very much." Alan Wilson thanked politely, "I believe my trip to Myanmar will be very pleasant."
Next on the itinerary was a meeting with the leader of the Kachin Karen, but the first thing to do was the issue of Myanmar’s currency reform. The British Empire wanted to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and model civil servants could not be vague on this matter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And it will take time for the leaders of the Kachin Karen to come over, unlike Aung San and his friends who are in Yangon.
Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar and the capital of British Myanmar. It is located in the Irrawaddy Delta in southern Myanmar. As a coastal city, Yangon is surrounded by sea breezes and has a quite pleasant climate.
The first formal exchange on Burma's currency reform began in this pleasant atmosphere. Burgess, the commissioner of British Burma, Aung San and others were very familiar with it, but they were very familiar with Alan Wilson, the younger
Assistant Commissioner to British India, they were not very familiar with him.
Burgess affirmed the benefits of Burma's currency reform from an overall perspective. Striving for a currency other than British India's rupee is the first step towards independence for Burma, and it is also a very important step, as well as other benefits.
"Currency is a symbol of a country's sovereignty. I believe General Aung San and everyone understand this." Burgess said very sincerely, "It plays an important role in the national economy. This reform plan will be of benefit to Myanmar.
huge."
"Commissioner Burgess, we believe that this change is certainly necessary, but many important issues have not yet been resolved." General Aung San raised his head and spoke eloquently, "Now many things are more important than currency reform."
"Ha! What about?" Alan Wilson, who had been silent all this time, chuckled and spoke in a very disrespectful tone, "Sleep today and drive away the British early tomorrow morning? The Japanese prisoners of war who were mining also thought so.
"
As soon as Alan Wilson said this, the atmosphere in the entire conference room condensed to freezing point. Compared with Burgess, Alan Wilson fit the image of a nasty colonial official very much, which made Aung San and others very disgusted.
"Mr. Allen, this is Myanmar." Wu Su, who was next to Aung San, opened his eyes and said, "At least you should have a basic respect for Myanmar."
"Thank you for reminding me, this place is still called British Burma." Alan Wilson leaned on the table and opened and closed his chin and said, "Maybe I should follow Nehru's suggestion and reunite British Burma and British India.
By combining the two into one, more things will be solved. As we all know, British India has a somewhat overpopulated population, a large food gap, and is still in the midst of a drought. If Burma can be merged, the problem will be solved.
A big part of it.”
What it means to be angry but not speak out is a true reflection of the mentality of some senior Myanmar officials. It is not that British India and British Burma have not merged before, and the consequence of the merger was the emergence of the Rohingya people.
Now that the Rohingya problem has just been solved, British India and British Burma are going to merge again?
However, before Aung San and others could digest the news, Alan Wilson started thinking and asked another question, "I hope to extradite some accomplices who were inclined to Japan during the war against Japan. Out of the British Empire's
Dignity, we should refuse, but if some people are uncooperative, then for the sake of the overall interests of the Allies, we do not mind restarting the investigation. During the time it takes to restart the investigation, we will first transfer the suspects to custody
, I wonder if everyone agrees with it?”
"Alan, actually the matter is not that serious." Burgess saw that the atmosphere was too solemn and opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"If you are willing to help us solve some unstable factors, we should be happy to see the results." Alan Wilson stood up without giving in and brought the topic back to currency reform. "I have finished speaking, so now, about Myanmar
Currency reform and regaining monetary sovereignty, who is in favor and who is against it?"
"Stand up, there are not enough mining prisoners of war." Alan Wilson slapped the table and shouted angrily.
After a long time, no one responded. Alan Wilson asked his secretary to bring the document up and said, "Since there is no objection, let's sign it."
