"Colleagues say you are very reliable!" After returning a brief telegram to Edel, Alan Wilson went about his own business, which was to establish an important organization for direct management.
Moreover, he will soon have a group of colleagues arriving in British Malaya. These colleagues are from MI6. It is absolutely correct to say that they are colleagues, because MI6 is the British external intelligence agency, affiliated to the British Foreign Office, and reports to foreign affairs.
The minister is responsible.
Alan Wilson is a civil servant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and MI6 is of course his colleague. MI5 is an internal counterintelligence and national security agency, responsible to the Home Secretary. The person in MI5 can only be said to be Alan Wilson
of peers.
From this point we can see the power gap between MI6 and MI5 and the KGB. MI6 and MI5 are departments under the responsibility of different ministers. They only do the work of a general bureau under the KGB.
.
The First Directorate of the KGB is the General Directorate for Foreign Intelligence, the Second Directorate is the Main Directorate for Domestic Defense Intelligence, and further down there are the General Directorate of Military Administration, the General Directorate of Traffic Management, and more than a dozen other general directorates.
In fact, it is far worse. The situation in the UK is quite special, and the intelligence agencies of most countries have law enforcement powers.
But that's not the case in the UK. That is to say, even if MI5 discovers a spy, it cannot arrest it itself. Instead, it can ask the police to arrest it. Generally, it asks the Scottish Police to arrest the person.
In terms of colonial management, Britain ruled without rule and rarely conducted direct management. Even when British India was under British rule, there were 100,000 civil servants working and they relied heavily on the assistance of India's local elites.
British India was so important, not to mention other colonies. It was incomparable with France's power in managing colonies. Now that a war broke out in the Far East, as the commissioner of British Malaya, he had to first maintain local stability.
Especially not to be affected by this war. This is the top priority. The people who came to Kuala Lumpur this time were from MI5 and MI6 to help British Malaya establish a functioning secret service.
.
The ruling power of a country is nothing more than reflected through the four forces of the military, police, and special forces.
As a colony, the army currently belongs to the British troops stationed there. Even if it is necessary to expand the military strength of British Malaya, considering the current ethnic balance issue, it will only absorb Malays and not Chinese.
Although this may be unfair to the Chinese, it must be done. Alan Wilson has never thought about taking advantage of anyone in British Malaya, so he must be on guard against it.
The same is true for the police department, so there are only two departments left that embody the country's ruling power. Let's find a way from this.
Because British Malaya was a colony, Alan Wilson, as the High Commissioner, had very great power. It can be said that he was far more authoritative in Kuala Lumpur than Norman Brooke was in London. After all, Norman Brooke also had a cabinet, and Alan Wilson
There is nothing above Len Wilson.
With this condition, he can now build a usable intelligence agency according to his own ideas.
This intelligence agency must have the powers of both MI6 and MI5, and must also have law enforcement powers. It cannot be like the domestic MI5, which is a funny department that notifies the police when it discovers spies.
As for the people who can be recruited by this department, they must first meet several basic conditions, be able to communicate in English without any barriers, and consider themselves to be subjects of the British Empire. Then there is not much choice, and they can only recruit members from Straits Chinese.
The Straits Chinese have long been spiritually British, but their numbers are too small to play a role in checking and balancing the Malays in society. But this does not mean that Alan Wilson will forget these spiritual Britishers.
Straits Chinese can be used to form a powerful intelligence department to prevent Indonesian infiltration into British Malaya, including but not limited to Indonesian penetration. As for the level of trust, Alan Wilson is very optimistic.
Not long after, Alyssa entered the office. First, she congratulated Alan Wilson for returning to Kuala Lumpur. At the same time, she took out a batch of investigation reports on residents and people living in Singapore, and asked, "If they form a secret service, will there be any problems? After all, this is
Very risky.”
"It depends on what this department does. If it is used to defend Indonesia, there is no risk. As for dealing with threats from other directions, we in the UK can do it ourselves. This department is ultimately used to maintain internal stability."
Alan Wilson knew what his subordinates were worried about, but he felt that the risk was controllable. Because in his eyes, the ability of the Chinese to assimilate was entirely a matter of position and not that scary. On the contrary, the Chinese were extremely easy to assimilate.
He has many examples in his mind, and there is no need to think about the Straits Chinese. Because the British Empire was the first global empire, and the current world hegemon, the United States, also speaks English, it is easy to find a group of fans around the world, so
Not suitable as an example.
Just look at Thailand and Myanmar. Strictly speaking, there are no Chinese in Thailand. There are indeed a large number of people with Chinese ancestry who know their ancestors are from China, but in fact they are no different from Thais.
As for Myanmar, the Chinese in Myanmar are not a small group close to the border. There are millions of Chinese in Myanmar, and most of them are far away from the border. Around Yangon, most of them support the Bamar government.
Even these two countries, which are not particularly outstanding, are able to settle the Chinese. There is no reason why British Malaya cannot. As for the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Malaya and Indonesia, the reason for not being assimilated is entirely because the habits of the Peace Christians are different from those of the Chinese.
Caused by being too far away.
Although the assimilation ability of Peace Christians is outstanding in the world, it was a success built in the agricultural era. In modern society, the country of Peace Christians is not strong, so the method of chanting sutras and wielding swords at the same time will not work. The reason why there are dozens of
When you look strong in later years, you are completely able to live, not assimilate to others.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regarding the secret service in British Malaya, Alan Wilson’s original intention was very simple, to be big! It is not that it must be comparable to the CIA or the KGB, but because large departments can increase
The number of employees in a department. As an official, Alan Wilson was born with the motivation to make a department bloated.
A few days later, intelligence officers from London's MI6 and MI5 arrived in Kuala Lumpur, and Alan Wilson began to formally set up an important institution to directly manage the colony, while using war news as entertainment.
The UK will not send ground troops to interfere in this war, but it is very logical to send all support except ground troops.
Alan Wilson wanted to make some necessary preparations. As we all know, in any memoir about the war, except for a certain big country, the participating countries, whether it was the United States, South Korea or North Korea, all had massacres of civilians.
Alan Wilson wants to collect first-hand information to prepare for the future. What if one day he and the United States fall out? This is something that must be guarded against.
While he was busy building the British Malayan Colony, the war never stopped for a moment. After retreating from the south bank of the Han River to Sangju on the Nakdong River, which lasted a full 300 kilometers, the defense line of the Nakdong River
Stabilized the situation.
At this point, both the United States and South Korea have no way to retreat. The Nakdong River defense line is lined up along Jinju-Gimcheon-Hamchang-Andong-Yongdeok.
The defense from Waguan southward to Mashan is provided by the 24th and 25th Divisions and the 1st Cavalry Division of the Eighth Army of the US Army; while the foothills to the east are centered on Nakjeong-ri where the 1st Division is located.
The area is garrisoned by three divisions of the Korean Army and the Capital Division.
The front where the 1st Division was stationed was a 41-kilometer-long open space, which was very unfavorable from a defensive perspective. Because the North Korean army detoured to Hunan and captured Jinju, and attacked the gates of Busan and Masan.
, the US 25th Division originally stationed in Sangju had to move to the Masan defense line, so it had to leave this open area to the First Division for defense.
The Nakdong River actually forms a huge trench that can protect about three-quarters of the Busan defensive perimeter.
However, it should also be noted that this defensive perimeter was too large, so in the following weeks, the two sides continued to exchange fire, fighting hundreds of small battles, and several major battles.
In mid-August, the fighting between the two sides reached its climax. The officers and soldiers were ready for hand-to-hand combat. The two sides fought hand-to-hand on a twenty-kilometer-long front, throwing grenades at each other and fighting to the death. The high ground was filled with corpses, some of which were still being used.
came to serve as a bunker. The entire battlefield turned into a hell on earth.
On this day, as Commander-in-Chief MacArthur called the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, "Currently, the situation in Pusan has stabilized. It is impossible for the enemy to break through our defense lines. On the premise of retaining Pusan to attract the enemy's main force, we can launch a world-shaking attack."
Landing operations cut off the enemy's retreat from the middle of the peninsula, and the conditions for a complete victory in the war are ripe. The British Royal Navy Pacific Fleet in the Far East is also willing to assist, and is manned by a corps including two divisions, with the purpose of cooperating with the Eighth
The group army coordinated with the counterattack in the south to surround and destroy the enemy."
One day later, after discussion, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff approved MacArthur's plan, and preparations for the amphibious landing plan officially began.
On the same day, Alan Wilson called London and applied for the establishment of the British Malaya Security Intelligence Committee in order to prevent neighboring countries from coveting British Malaya.
But Alan Wilson did not expect that the first news reported by this newly emerged secret service agency was to tell him that there was a rumor recently in British Malaya that the United States wanted to help Japan rearm and wanted to take back prisoners of war.
"Nonsense!" Alan Wilson showed the arrogance of the colonists, scoffed at the news, and criticized this unfounded statement mercilessly.
