The issue of the East Indies was the first important topic of the day's meeting. Alan Wilson elaborated on the partition plan, as well as the Netherlands' need to face up to Australia's role, and analyzed the psychology of the Australians.
Armand said that the Dutch government has indeed been brewing a partition plan. Once the situation on Java Island gets out of control, the Netherlands will divide the sparsely populated island. It just so happens that the Dutch government also prefers Kalimantan. As for Dutch New Guinea,
That has never had anything to do with Java.
"Oh, haha! Sorry, I'm not making fun of the Netherlands. We all know that New Guinea has nothing to do with Java, but the independence of the East Indies will inevitably claim the sovereignty of New Guinea. Everyone knows that I just came back from British India. You know India
How do people view India? Those local Indian elites want all the interests of the British Empire in South Asia to be transferred to India, including suzerainty over nearby British colonies."
Alan Wilson couldn't help but mocked, "It seems that the British Empire has launched so many wars in the past three hundred years and fought countless countries, including your country, just to build a strong India? I won't say anything else.
The local elites in the East Indies must also have this kind of greed. They don't care whether they rule New Guinea, because the Netherlands rules New Guinea, so New Guinea must be part of independent Indonesia in the future."
"Why didn't they grab it?" All the representatives were indignant and very angry at this greedy idea.
"Ninoy, it's not just a problem in the Netherlands. If you send a telegram to Vietnam, you will find that the local rebels in Vietnam think so too. This is not difficult to verify at all." Alan Wilson looked at Ninoy.
Trump then said with a solemn expression, "The problems faced by the British Empire in British India were encountered by France and the Netherlands. This is the purpose of this meeting. The UK is willing to share some experiences and lessons to prevent you from
The same mistake has been made by our motherland. After all, the colonial system involves most of the countries here."
If France and the Netherlands had an easier time than Britain anywhere, except for India's large area and population, the leaders of the colonial resistance were not so difficult to deal with.
Alan Wilson is not looking down on the leaders of Indonesia and Vietnam. They are really not as good as Nehru. It is true that India is much stronger than Vietnam and Indonesia, and the British Empire is much stronger than France and the Netherlands.
And unlike Indonesia and Vietnam, India is an original civilization with a heavy historical burden. Just like many dynasties, there were not no people of insight in the last years, but in the end those people of insight could not do anything.
The India that Nehru took over is equivalent to a cultural country that has never changed dynasties. The problems that began with Brahmanism have accumulated until now.
Gandhi was just a saint who wanted to turn India into a big farm. Nehru had a strong interest in large-scale industrialization from the beginning. Nehru carried Gandhi's opposition and vigorously promoted the Soviet model of rapid and large-scale industrialization.
, emphasizing modernization and heavy industry, planning large-scale agricultural modernization, and building large-scale agricultural irrigation facilities.
Nehru believed that India was an independent, socialist secular democratic republic. Nehru's definition had a profound impact on India, and he carried out a series of constructions of India.
Including India's religious freedom, legal equality, abolition of untouchability, socialist nationalization, mixed economy, import substitution strategy, and protection and subsidies for national strategic industries such as steel, coal, and electricity.
India itself is very decentralized, which is completely different from China. China is a country with a centralized system for thousands of years. The social reform that is really difficult is a patriarchal system. The patriarchal system can be compared with the caste system.
Comparable?
Regarding the major religions in India, Nehru said, "I don't want to use religion as a refuge. I would rather risk the stormy waves. I am not interested in the afterlife and the situation after death. The problems of this life have made me
Busy enough. The traditional Chinese view is basically moral, not religious, or tinged with religious suspicion. This view is very attractive to me."
The reason why Nehru always tolerated the PKI was mainly because he judged that the PKI could not have an impact on the Congress Party.
"The Communist Party of India does not understand the rural areas and has little contact with them. Although industrial workers are important, they have to take a step back compared with the farmers, because the problem in India today is the farmers' problem. On the other hand, the Congress Party has a wide range of workers
Scattered throughout the countryside, the Congress Party was, under normal circumstances, bound to develop into a broad organization of peasants, who were rarely revolutionary after achieving their immediate goals,"
But Nehru's understanding of India was so profound, even as profound as a Chinese's understanding of India's shortcomings, and it could not change that India is a religious country, a loose country where each country does its own thing.
Nehru's autobiography contains a full understanding of India's deep-rooted shortcomings, but the environment in India is like that. The caste system has existed for thousands of years, and more than one-tenth of the population believes in another religion. If Pakistan is not independent, it is
Nearly one-third of the population.
In the battle for Indian independence, Nehru led the Congress Party and fought a draw with the British Empire in history.
Even if Alan Wilson has laid many more landmines now, he is not sure that Nehru can be dealt with.
Maybe just by making Nehru work harder for a few more years, India can finally become the leader of the third world.
Sometimes Alan Wilson wants God to replace Nehru with Modi, so that no one can stop him from tearing India into pieces. Nehru in this era is really too difficult to deal with.
As for Armand's later mention of the Netherlands' suppression of local resistance forces, Alan Wilson expressed his own opinion. These people who pursue independence must not be said to be nationalists.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alan Wilson urged that it is best to change the mind of the Dutch army as soon as possible, "No matter what race or belief, the Dutch army after the suppression all identified themselves as members of the Indonesian Communist Party"
To resist, we absolutely do not recognize nationalists. They are only followers of the Soviet Union. If defined as nationalists, Americans will not be too disgusted. Defining them as vassals of the Soviet Union is different."
"Let me give you an analogy. If the United States finally judges that it is unlikely that Indonesia will become a ally of the Soviet Union, and asks the Netherlands to make the East Indies independent and Indonesia to become a country. What will the Netherlands do?"
Faced with Alan Wilson's question, Armand thought for a moment and said, "What if we don't agree?"
"Kick the Netherlands out of this European reconstruction plan." Alan Wilson said without thinking. "Once the United States threatens to terminate aid, will the Netherlands let go or not? So if you deal with one, you will be labeled as a Communist Party of Indonesia.
, there are no nationalists among the rebels in Dutch East Indonesia, and they are all said to be vassals of the Soviet Union. Even if it is false, they still have to focus on the Indonesian Communist Party. Besides, the Indonesian Communist Party itself is powerful, so it does not mean they have been wronged."
Seeing Adelman's silence, Alan Wilson tilted his head and said, "This is actually a problem faced by the United Kingdom and France. Portugal and Spain need not be too excited. With the current state of the governments of your two countries, assistance cannot be said to be complete.
No, it can basically be said that there is no."
"As for Spain, the new president of Mexico has come to power. He has changed his previous anti-American attitude and is focusing his efforts on attacking Spain. I believe you all know this." Alan Wilson sighed and said, "Learn from the United States. The United States now wants to
After accepting the world order in the hands of Britain and France, Mexico followed suit and turned to Spain to be the leader of the Spanish-speaking world in Latin America. Therefore, it is not impossible for us to understand Spain's current situation, and we can even sympathize with it."
If we didn't feel the same way and everyone felt good about themselves, this meeting wouldn't have happened.
At this moment, these colonial countries that have not yet withdrawn from the stage of history are joining forces to warm up. Alan Wilson is really understanding and moving. He hardly looks like an Englishman, standing in the stands of France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.
From a perspective, provide one-on-one tutoring.
He expressed to the Netherlands that he wanted to engage in distant and close relations and contact Australia. At the same time, he showed an uncompromising posture on the surface and secretly concentrated all forces except military power on Kalimantan and Dutch New Guinea. The former shared the island of Kalimantan with the United Kingdom.
, the latter can keep warm with the Australian newspaper group.
Regarding the military action against France, it meant considering the worst case scenario, changing the administrative plans of the three countries under its rule while the situation was still controllable, and dividing and conquering. This was all based on the experience gained from British India.
This was followed by dialogue with Portugal and Spain. Both countries are quasi-military governments. Although the international environment is relatively poor, it is not without benefits. For example, both countries can implement long-term plans.
At present, Portugal and Spain's colonies are mainly concentrated in Africa. They can be safe in the short term, but they will be targeted sooner or later. If you make a long-term plan now, you can still retain a certain amount of overseas territory when something happens.
For example, in the name of migratory population, the black population is attracted to a colony in the name of local construction. When the momentum is not enough, independence will be directly allowed, and the colonies where the native immigrants and native whites make up the majority will be retained and exist in the name of overseas provinces.
Alan Wilson didn't know whether the representatives of Spain and Portugal listened. What he also didn't know was that the one who listened most seriously was actually the French representative Nino Bertrand. The Algerian in this time and space is destined to be braver.
Only the battle can be done.
Alan Wilson, the colonial expert, was well established. Even after the sun went down, representatives from various countries were still listening attentively. Even the Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke came several times, and the Prime Minister was still waiting for the daily report.
"It's already nine o'clock. Due to time constraints, I'll stop here today. Friends, I want to go back and think about it. If you have any questions, I want to discuss them tomorrow. I will also go back and think about it to see if there is anything else I can add.
of."
Alan Wilson finally ended the talks with the colonialist family without any satisfaction, which made the translators around him breathe a sigh of relief. The translators had paid too much for this country and their mouths were dry.
