Three hours later, Alan Wilson had returned to the Malayan Commissioner's Office. Although he was very reluctant to be involved with Ingrid Bergman, he still knew in his heart which one was more important.
I had just arrived at the Administrative Office, ignored the greetings of many administrative officials, and went directly back to my office. I didn't even bother to take a sip of water and asked, "The alloy pipe has arrived, which port is it at?"
"Penang!" Alyssa didn't know what the alloy pipe meant, but she instinctively felt that it must be a great thing to have her immediate boss rush over. "Lieutenant General Bilton has rushed to Penang."
"Prepare the plane, I'm going too." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "I still leave the work of the Administrative Office to you."
Alan Wilson, whose buttocks were not even hot from the seat, asked the driver to take him to the military base, showed his ID and hurried to Penang.
Penang was the earliest free trade port that Britain colonized in the Far East. For a long time, its status was no less than that of Singapore, managing Malacca and Singapore. The Straits Settlements were composed of several colonies that were not adjacent to each other, and Penang was the jurisdiction.
Penang's location was in the middle of the Malay Peninsula after the Isthmus of Kra was placed under British Malaya. The geographical change did not change Penang's important status. The British troops stationed in Malaya also had a military base in Penang.
Alan Wilson, who took the plane, soon arrived at Penang Airport, and Penang Commissioner Alfred was already waiting. Seeing Alan Wilson's hurried appearance, he asked in confusion, "Commissioner, Alyssa said you come here
Yes, did something important happen?"
"I heard that a transport ship from China arrived at the port. How are your arrangements? What is the military's attitude?" Alan Wilson kept walking and asked several questions in succession.
"We just prepared a place to live. Lieutenant General Bilton was very serious. The entire port has been under military control and he did not disclose the information. I don't know why." Although Alfred looked confused, he still answered everything quickly.
question.
"Depending on your level, some secrets must be kept secret from you." Alan Wilson got directly into the prepared car, "I will communicate with Lieutenant General Billmon and the people in the country, maybe there is some work that needs to be done.
Let you help."
The alloy tube project has already cost the United Kingdom a heavy price to this day. As the first country to discover a hypothetical atomic weapon, it took until 1950 to come up with a finished product. The twists and turns of the road are simply sad.
This is already two years earlier than in history. Originally, Prime Minister Attlee would have been deceived for two years at the beginning, and had been hung up on by the United States. It was not until his patience was exhausted that he restarted the alloy tube plan. And this time at the Potsdam Conference
On the way, I met Truman, who had just become president, and was immediately shattered.
Even now, the United States is still causing trouble for the alloy tube project. Originally, the United Kingdom was interested in borrowing the United States' nuclear weapons test site because it was ready. However, the United States even rejected the British proposal to test the first atomic bomb at the Nevada test site.
requirements.
After receiving a clear rejection, the proposals of Australia and Malaya were taken seriously. In the end, the Malayan plan was approved.
At the Penang Commissioner's Office, Alan Wilson, who was hurrying slowly, met William Penney, the head of the alloy tube project who came from the mainland, and Lieutenant General Bilton Walker, the commander of the British forces in Malaya.
"Commander, Sir!" Alan Wilson greeted the two of them directly. "I am discussing investment issues with the guests. I hope it is not too late. Mr. William has worked hard all the way."
The two nodded, mainly discussing the specific test site. Alan Wilson already had a place as a test site, "There are two small islands in the west of Langkawi Islands not far apart. First of all, the island area is not large, and secondly the distance
The main island is far away and will not be affected, and the two islands are not far apart, so it is appropriate for us to choose the other one as the observation location."
The Langkawi Islands, the largest island group in later Malaysia, consists of ninety-nine islands. It is located in the Strait of Malacca, north of Penang. Before the acquisition of the Kra Isthmus, its geographical location was closer to Thailand. The local scenery is pleasant, and it is the most important island in later Malaysia.
Vacation destination.
But Alan Wilson thinks it is more suitable to be a testing ground for nuclear weapons. If possible, he actually wants to occupy an uninhabited island in Indonesia for nuclear testing. However, doing so may intensify conflicts, although he himself does not think it is a big deal.
, but it’s always a troublesome thing to ask about in London.
After hearing what Alan Wilson said, Lieutenant General Bilton Walker directly asked his staff to take out a map and found the location of the two westernmost islands of the Langkawi Islands. He couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed a good observation location.
"I will invite the leaders of the local ethnic groups to observe. I hope to get your approval." Alan Wilson said, "Don't get me wrong, before I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, I had been advocating for nuclear testing in Malaya.
Because of the important position of the Strait of Malacca, it can deter and contain certain people's threats to British Malaya. This was also approved by the cabinet, and the nuclear test was definitely not a one-time event, right?"
Inviting Malay and Chinese leaders to watch the nuclear test was something he had decided before, and there was no possibility of him wavering.
"Alan, we conduct nuclear tests to protect the security of the United Kingdom." William Penny felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and the meaning of shock was too strong.
"This is British Malaya. Whether it is Malaya or not is not important. What is important is that it is British." Alan Wilson said to himself, "The most important thing in our business is not to find answers, but to find problems.
I want to deter any potential anti-British forces, no matter where they come from, whether they are enemies or allies, it doesn't matter."
As a scientist, William Penny is either so sane that he disowns all his relatives, or he is so idealistic that he disowns all his relatives. Now it seems that William Penny cannot be completely said to be the latter, but he has some elements of the latter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In Alan Wilson's eyes, this is just the beginning. He even wants to imitate France and wreak havoc when withdrawing from the colony. One day, he will be in Malay
It's untenable, and he wants to raze this place to the ground.
Although he was not the same person as William Penny, Alan Wilson still concealed his evil heart and did not reveal in front of a scientist the regret that nuclear weapons had only gone through two actual combats.
After deciding on the location for the experiment, Lieutenant General Bilton Walker was concerned about inviting ethnic leaders from Malaya and wondering whether they would come.
"If they still want to live, they should come." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "I have already communicated with these people when I took office, and will invite them again soon. If
I promised at the time but regretted it now, so I have to doubt whether they are reliable. The current question now is how long it will take to prepare. I suggest that we should have good news as soon as possible, preferably in May."
Lieutenant General Bilton Walker and William Penny also agreed that they also wanted to get good news as soon as possible.
On the subject of test targets, Alan Wilson had little to say. Vice Admiral Bilton had prepared escort carriers, Liberty and Japanese abandoned battleships. William Penney said some animals were being released.
What did Alan Wilson have to say? He couldn't suggest using humans for experiments, even though he wanted to do so in his heart.
The three of them set May 25th as the date for the nuclear test. Alan Wilson immediately asked Alfred, in the name of Penang Commissioner, to issue a ban on sea travel starting on May 20th, and at the same time, evacuate Lanzhou now.
Executive Order for the Residents of the Kawi Islands.
At almost the same time, under the military orders of Lieutenant General Bilton Walker, the escort aircraft carriers, Liberty Ships and other target ships serving as test targets also left the port and headed for the nuclear weapons test site.
Anyway, Alan Wilson felt that the location of the test site was very good. It was not far from the Strait of Malacca, the Andaman Islands, the entire colony of British Burma, and Thailand, which was forced to cede the Kra Isthmus. If you want to be shocked, you can come together.
With all the details having been finalized, Alan Wilson sent a telegram to Alisa in Kuala Lumpur, asking her to send an invitation on her behalf to the Malay Sultan, the MCA, and the Malayan Congress Party. Although it was impossible not to come, it was indeed an invitation.
.
He felt that the Chinese leaders should not be surprised. It was not that they had not learned about the Hongmen Banquet, so there was nothing strange about it.
Now we are waiting for the countdown. The relevant personnel in Malaya are busy, and the London side is also paying close attention to the progress of the matter.
The success of the alloy tube project was a major event for the entire British Empire. Even Prime Minister Attlee was looking forward to it and kept calling to inquire about the preparations.
Alan Wilson, who never wastes time, took the time to put his arms around Ingrid Bergman's body and told the Prime Minister that everything was under control. Then he thought about it and changed the word that was too strong of a gunman.
In his eyes, it is synonymous with accomplishing nothing. Don't let this important nuclear test go to waste.
"No, it's not possible anymore." Ingrid Bergman avoided the man's desire to be intimate, "It's not safe."
"Don't make trouble, it's not like these days at all." Alan Wilson has a diary, which clearly shows that he has been very safe recently.
"How busy I am now. You don't know that a big project is about to start." When attacking by force failed, Alan Wilson resorted to outsmarting him. He also showed his cultural accomplishment and wrote a Chinese character to explain the meaning of the word.
, "The word "good" when broken down means woman. If a woman gives birth to a child for me, it is good for me."
"There's really nothing we can do about you." Ingrid Bergman sighed quietly, "If it's like I said, I'll see what you do when the time comes."
After struggling for so long, Ingrid Bergman finally made this crooked man achieve his goal.
Alan Wilson, who was full of energy, almost wanted to take Ingrid Bergman to hold a Hongmen banquet with local leaders, but in the end he gave up this tempting idea.
