Alan Wilson asked Saif not to agree so easily. The most important thing is to see what Ali Khan thinks. He is now a current monarch, and it is not Saif's turn to make decisions for him.
London also recognizes Ali Khan, not Saif, one of Ali Khan's more than 20 sons.
At present, when the Kingdom of Sarawak has been restored and transferred to the name of Pamela Mountbatten, there are still three places in British Malaya without a monarch. Of course, this does not include the direct jurisdiction of the Kra Isthmus. After the cession of the Kra Isthmus,
Belonging to the Straits Settlements, Penang and Malacca are also part of the Straits Settlements.
Then there is only one state left that can be offered to make a deal with Ali Khan, Sabah. In the south of Sarawak, the most famous thing in Sabah is a death march.
During World War II, the Allied forces began to fight the Japanese. Allied bombings destroyed most of the towns and Sandakan was razed to the ground. Sandakan once had a brutal prisoner of war camp run by the Japanese, which was used to incarcerate prisoners of war.
Australian and British prisoners of war in North Borneo.
The prisoners suffered inhumane treatment, and Allied bombing forced the Japanese to move the prisoner-of-war camp to Ranau, 260 kilometers inland. At that time, the number of all prisoners of war had been reduced to 2,500, and they were forced to
The infamous Sandakan Death March began. Almost all prisoners of war died during this march, and only six Australians escaped and survived.
After all, Sabah has an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, and although it has a small population, it will definitely not be handed over to Ali Khan so easily. That is to say, London is now doing everything possible to make money, so Alan Wilson would propose
Such a suggestion.
And he made it very clear to Saif that even if he becomes the monarch of Sabah, he will not be able to stick to his word like he did in Hyderabad before. At this time, even in Asia, monarchs have to move towards symbolic meaning.
Transformation, it is impossible to recreate the monarchy of the agricultural era.
Alan Wilson did not show any urgent desire to realize the money. In his opinion, it would be good if this thing could be done.
Ali Khan's billions of wealth, if used on British Malaya, could accelerate the take-off of this colony.
At the same time, it also strengthened British Malaya's ability to resist the Soviet Union. He had not seen many monarchs who were particularly interested in the Soviet Union. Sabah is just north of Sarawak. If it develops, it will also promote Sarawak.
.
Originally, after the war, the British troops landed in Malaya in the name of surrender. Later, in order to restore and strengthen colonial rule, the British launched the Malayan Federation Plan. The Malayan Federation Plan was the British way of ruling Malaya.
Indirect became direct, depriving the sultans of various princely states of their right to rule. At the same time, equal citizenship rights were implemented, that is, giving Chinese and Indians the same equal status as Malays.
However, this plan encountered fierce opposition from the Malays. The Malays believed that the British deprivation of Sudan’s right to rule was a heavy blow to their national identity and national identity, and the opening up of equal citizenship was a serious threat to the Malays’ ability to rule in Sudan.
special political status.
At that time, British India could no longer sustain itself. The united British Indian civil servants proposed another method, which was to open the Xiangjiang border, use floodgates to flood the Malay population advantage by opening floodgates and waterproofing, and at the same time station British troops as a deterrent.
.
After the flood, the effect was indeed very good. Now the Malays have stopped making trouble. After Gerald Edward's term and Alan Wilson's taking office, British Malaya has become a colony directly managed by the British civil service system.
, which means that British Malaya is now under direct administration and no longer relies on the assistance of any princely states like British India.
Therefore, even if Ali Khan came to Malaya and became the monarch of Sabah, he would be the same as the original local Sultan. As a respected and loved monarch, he could not dictate the administrative work of the colony.
Alan Wilson did not hide any of these differences, and told Saif everything, letting Ali Khan know the real situation here. Alan Wilson handles things with money based on integrity and will not deceive the other party on this issue.
After confessing all the difficulties frankly, Alan Wilson sent Saif out of the administrative office, "This may cost hundreds of millions of pounds. I am just a suggestion. The Maharaja should know the difficulty of this, so
Whether the matter can be accomplished or not, the Maharaja will make his own judgment."
When Saif heard that it might cost hundreds of millions of pounds, he couldn't help but swallowed. It was indeed a huge sum of money, and he didn't know if his father Ali Khan could come up with it.
Although he thought so, Saif still said, "I will inform my father of all the risks. In short, I would like to thank the commissioner for remembering the friendship with my father at this time."
"I don't have many merits, but there is one thing I can do. I have received help from the Maharaja when my career started, and I must repay it at a certain time. Sabah is not small but has a small population. If Ali
Khan is interested, and I am willing to help plan this matter. Currently, I am the commissioner of Malaya, so I have the ability to help."
Alan Wilson has a very business-like attitude and treats this matter as a pure business. Whether it can be successful depends on Ali Khan's thoughts.
Whether a slap in the face makes a difference mainly depends on Ali Khan's own considerations. This is like the question of whether the United States' nuclear umbrella works. If the United States uses massive retaliation to deter the Soviet Union from attacking the United States, this threat will be very serious to the Soviet Union.
Reliability is higher.
However, if the same threat was used to deter the Soviet Union from attacking Western Europe, its credibility would be reduced.
So why do Britain and France also want to develop nuclear weapons? From the bottom of their hearts, London and Paris do not believe that the United States will engage in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union for the sake of Europe. Therefore, the two countries must discover nuclear weapons and have the ability to make the Soviet Union a threat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let Saif and Ali Khan communicate, and Alan Wilson will continue to work on his own affairs. Let’s talk about the impact of MacArthur’s fateful Waterloo on Alan Wilson.
.
That is, he has now made the Commissioner's Radio broadcast every day, repeatedly stating that Britain did not send ground troops to join the war, which was completely different from the United States.
Who said that the main ethnic group in British Malaya was Chinese? He had to constantly reassure and at the same time distinguish Britain from the United States. He also analyzed data and reasoned to maintain the stability of this most important colony for Britain today.
But he can't live like this for the next three years. If he wants to get rid of the announcer's predicament, he must find a way.
"Master Zhongtang!" Entering an empty villa area, Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu saw Alan Wilson and Anna as soon as they entered the door. They greeted and asked, "Who is this?"
Alan Wilson glanced at Anna and said calmly, "According to your words, this is my concubine. Please sit down!"
Without further ado, Alan Wilson took out the reply call from London and started today's speech tutorial, "Some time ago, Japanese representatives did come to Penang, hoping that the colonial government would release prisoners of war and repatriate these prisoners of war back to the country."
When Yuto Ikeda arrived, the U.S. military had not actually encountered MacArthur's lifelong enemy, but Alan Wilson took a sidestep and pretended to be so.
This made Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu's expressions turn cold. They were both new immigrants and had only been away from their motherland for four to five years. National sentiments could not disappear so easily.
At this time, Japan wanted to return prisoners of war, which was related to the war on the peninsula. The two people naturally thought that the Americans wanted to rearm Japan and join the war.
This is very painful for Anna. If Ellen Wilson talks in English, she has been trained by Gatzner after all, and English is not a problem at all, but Gatzner has never taught Chinese.
"According to London's instructions, I will officially start the work of repatriating prisoners of war after the year." Alan Wilson looked at the two patriots calmly, "As for whether they will participate in the war, I don't know."
"Sir Nakatō, Japan is just a defeated country. What right does it have to make demands on you?" Tian Qianqiu said with an angry look on his face, "Please forgive me, I just can't understand."
"But behind Japan is the United States, and I can't do anything about it." Alan Wilson shrugged and said he couldn't help, and then changed the topic, "Actually, I don't want to do this. You all should know that the London government has expectations for Malaya.
, investing a lot of manpower and material resources, this war will inevitably affect local stability. After all, you have a lot of Chinese people, and now London also has certain worries. Once it affects London's judgment, it will affect all the people in Malaya.
Imperial subjects are all bad."
"Furthermore, because of its geographical location, the war on the peninsula will definitely promote Japan. Even if Malaya will not be affected by the war, from the perspective of economic development, Malaya and Japan are also rivals."
"It is indeed unfair that some people are poor and some are rich in this world. If Japan and Malaya can produce the same thing, the price will not be high. I believe you are all adults and you will not understand this.
"
Alan Wilson talked about this matter in a very candid manner from a national and economic perspective, and finally said, "If you can handle this matter well, it will also be of great benefit to the lives of Chinese people in Malaya in the future. There will be one less competition.
Opponents, your life is easier, isn’t it?”
"Master Zhongtang hopes that we can help London to deal with the things that can't be done to come forward." Tian Qianqiu pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, so that London can feel relieved when he sees the Chinese community."
"Yes, when the time comes, I will find a way to get London to pardon you for the crimes of this operation." Alan Wilson began to tell his overall plan, including the law and the king's pardon order.
What extenuating circumstances, what exchange of interests, Alan Wilson finally said, "When I treat the murderers to jail time, one of you two will organize a sit-in protest outside, wearing a Union Jack flag to heighten the atmosphere.
In place. In the name of maintaining the stability of the colony, I will help you operate it in London. But there is one thing, it must be a condition that the law cannot be punished. Whether it is the number of participants or the number of guarantors after the matter is over, it must be
