Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Seven Sea Lord Mountbatten
"This?" Lin Lianyu was about to speak but mustered up the courage to say, "This also includes the contribution of the colonial government represented by Mr. Commissioner."
"Yes, but it does not play a decisive role. This is the land of the Malays. The Chinese and Indians are latecomers introduced by us. Of course you can deny it and show a so-called record from hundreds of years ago to prove that the Chinese have been here long ago.
Malaya, but what does that prove?”
Alan Wilson ridiculed unscrupulously, "The Boers in South Africa also said that they arrived in South Africa earlier than the black people. This kind of statement is just to fool themselves. It is a joke to spread everywhere. It is detrimental to the overall image of the Chinese. If similar statements are true, India
People have something to say, the Chola Kingdom once ruled Malacca, did you Chinese rule it?"
"If you don't understand, go back and read the history textbook I wrote. In the world history section, compared to navigation, let alone Europe, it is far inferior to the Arabs and even the Indians."
"Mr. Lin, I have worked in British India before and I am very good at dealing with the claims of some ancient civilizations. Regarding the Chola Kingdom, there is a Congress Party in Malaya. Ask them if it is true." Allen
Wilson pointed out the future for Lin Lianyu, "Malaya is a colony of the British Empire, and its future destiny depends on London."
"Commissioner, this is a telegram from New Delhi. We have finished translating it. It is from your fiancée, Ms. Mountbatten. The matter regarding the umbrella company has been settled, and she will come over immediately." The secretary outside the door pushed open the door to get it.
He said via telegram.
"Thank you, but don't read it out in such a public place in the future. I will read it myself." Alan Wilson said in a reminding tone, "This is my private matter after all, and it is not good in this kind of situation."
The main message of the telegram was that Umbrella Medical Company had successfully taken root in India with the license it had previously reserved.
There is also a part of the content that involves the ownership of the Andaman Islands. Because Pamela Mountbatten is the daughter of the last deputy king, similar complaints were heard.
"Ha! So it turns out that the British Empire conquered cities and territories all over the world just for the sake of India?" Alan Wilson said sarcastically, looked at Lin Lianyu and said, "Mr. Lin, in fact, it turns out that the ideas of some Peranakans should be different from those of Nehru or Nehru.
Just like Sukarno in Indonesia, not only do we have to leave in disgrace, but we also have to leave behind colonies that have been formed through countless conquests and mergers, and it is best to leave behind compensation."
While Lin Lianyu remained silent, Alan Wilson changed the topic, "But I believe that the Chinese who come to Malaya within five years will not have this idea, and I have solved this matter from the root. The beginning of Chinese history
Chapter 1: We are glorious Chinese. The Chinese, like the British, are outsiders. One day we can no longer stand and will take you away at the same time. In fact, I don’t have to talk to you at all and let you
The union stepped aside and looked for agents directly from Chinese immigrants within the past five years. It’s not like I didn’t know them. When the Chinese immigrants went to Newfoundland, I was the local chief executive.”
Although it was not good to talk openly, in order to clarify each other's bottom line, Alan Wilson felt that it was better to make it clearer. He could abandon the MCA at any time and support a force that could help the British Empire stabilize Malaya.
The new immigrants don't think much. They didn't even have food to eat just a few years ago. They are more reliable than the old Chinese who have already taken root.
Moreover, he has been in contact with tens of thousands of Chinese workers, and I can’t say that they complement each other, but it is a pleasant cooperation. Moreover, Newfoundland still needs Chinese workers in the past two years. After all, Newfoundland’s per capita level has surpassed that of the United Kingdom. It has completely got rid of the debt problem, and Ma
The living standard in Laiya is only one-sixth of that in the UK, so working in Newfoundland is still attractive.
After going there and coming back, I would have gained an additional base of 10,000 people. All the ethnic groups in British Malaya added up would only amount to 10 million people. 10,000 supporters who can be attracted are not a small number, and they are 10,000 people every year.
.
In this case, the value of the MCA is actually not great. He just saw that the organization had some positive effects in the past, so he did not take a tough attitude. If the existence of an organization has more negative effects than positive effects, or
If it is said that the positive effect is not enough, then it should be eradicated.
At the Kuala Lumpur Airport, the military plane carrying Pamela Mountbatten landed. The Queen of Sarawak finally arrived in loyal Kuala Lumpur. Alan Wilson, who took the time to come and wait, also received a gift.
"I'm an overseas commissioner driving a Rolls-Royce? Isn't that a little bit?" Alan Wilson said hesitantly as he looked at the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost sedan that had been delivered all the way.
"This is a custom-made bulletproof car. Isn't it because this place is always infiltrated by Indonesia?" Pamela Mountbatten's face was stern, and she scolded Alan Wilson. "Do you know how much my father liked Rolls-Royce back then? This is the first time.
It’s bad to drive high-tech.”
"This car logo alone is hard not to be exciting. But dear, of course I am happy." Alan Wilson remembered that he had a car with the same model as the head of state in Germany, and it was actually good to drive it over.
In fact, the problem of being penetrated by Indonesia has been reduced a lot. East Malaysia is relatively easy to be penetrated by Indonesia. This is because after the partition of the Dutch East Indies, there were armed forces loyal to Indonesia in Kalimantan. However, as East Malaysia is focused on being
In infiltration areas, numerous Chinese settlements have appeared, and this situation is also easing.
Alan Wilson believes that as the Dutch crackdown intensifies, the situation in Kalimantan will stabilize.
Knowing that Alan Wilson's driving skills were average, Pamela Mountbatten drove the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost directly out of the airport and followed Alan Wilson's directions to the Commissioner's Office.
"Lieutenant General Walker is still at the office. Knowing that your plane is about to arrive, I left the commander here to go to the airport." Alan Wilson rambled, saying that this might be disrespectful to the commander of the garrison.
"Uncle Bilton? I met him at the wartime military meeting." Pamela Mountbatten heard this and said, "Let me apologize for you. By the way, my father has left the Mediterranean Fleet and returned to the mainland. He has been appointed
I am the Fourth Sea Lord, but I am very worried now."
While the two were chatting, they had already arrived at the office. After a while, Lieutenant General Bilton Walker came in. Pamela Mountbatten stood up first and asked obediently, "Alan picked me up at the airport. He didn't mean to leave. I'm very sorry."
"It's nothing, young man." Bilton Walker said with a tolerant look, "I just heard about the transfer. Congratulations to General Mountbatten for getting closer to the goal of First Sea Lord."
"Will the general stay in the mainland from now on?" Alan Wilson poured a glass of water and handed it to Lieutenant General Bilton and asked.
"No, the process cannot be changed. If everything goes well, General Mountbatten is still one step away." Lieutenant General Bilton thought for a moment, "If the matters under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Sea Lord are in order and widely recognized by colleagues, next
In the first step, General Mountbatten will probably be Commander of the Fleet, Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, or Commander of the Pacific Fleet. Then he will be the First Sea Lord and lead the Royal Navy."
"My father is currently worried about logistical supplies and financial problems." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head helplessly. "I still remember my father's complaints. He said this. I am only in my forties. Everyone thinks that
The other vice admirals are all in their 50s and 60s, so I can still wait."
"Pamela! Don't say such things." Alan Wilson reminded his fiancée. He knew that General Mountbatten did not like the position of Fourth Sea Lord and was originally going to be the Second Sea Lord directly.
But just like similar complaints, other commanders at the same level are indeed older. General Mountbatten is indeed very young. It is indeed inappropriate to directly override others and become the second-in-command of the navy.
"If there is any problem, just tell me and see if I can solve it." Alan Wilson said.
"The logistics problem is huge, and my father said the gap is not small." Pamela Mountbatten repeated General Mountbatten's own complaints.
After coming to the Admiralty and taking up his post, Mountbatten was amazed at the poor level of logistics. 150,000 naval reservists should be available on call, but all the navy's warehouses can only provide uniforms and equipment for 40,000 people. There is no military reserve.
, and there is no plan to build any military supplies; there is not even enough minesweeper equipment to equip existing minesweepers.
"Military uniforms? Tableware? Tents? Towels? These things are so simple. If the general places an order as the Sea Lord, I can quickly order them to be manufactured. But the mine clearance equipment can only be found domestically."
Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "A lot of things are very simple, it's just a matter of cost. The cost of manufacturing and shipping them in Malaya is not high, just treat it as a training."
"Honey, can you solve it?" Pamela Mountbatten hugged her fiancé's arm, causing Lieutenant General Bilton to cough, reminding the young man that although he was not incomprehensible, he should also pay attention to the occasion.
"No problem!" Alan Wilson continued the topic discussed with the garrison commander before. "Before I took office, the ship carrying nuclear weapons had already left the port. After all, it was dangerous goods and was not transported by air. I estimate that it will be carried out in the next few days.
Arriving two days ago, because of India's claim on the sovereignty of the Andaman Islands, I even thought about placing the Hegemony nuclear test site on the Andaman Islands. But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up the idea. After all, the current threat to Malaya's stability is
It was Indonesia, which had just become independent, and in order to be more symbolic, it asked the general to invite military representatives from nearby French, Dutch and Portuguese colonies to visit and show unity."
"As for myself, I invite the MCA, Malayan Congress Party and the nine Sultans to observe and be intimidated!"
