"However, will this help local stability? Allen, are you sure you can suppress the Chinese and prevent them from opposing British rule in the local area?" General Mountbatten still had doubts in his heart, especially as the bloodbath on the peninsula is still not high today.
In the context of continuation.
Regarding the risk of British Malaya being penetrated, of course it exists under objective conditions, and this is something that must be guarded against.
"This issue is very complex, but as far as the composition of the local ethnic groups is concerned, it is actually not a big problem." Alan Wilson cannot always control everything at this time, but he also expressed a cautiously optimistic attitude.
If there is one man in the British Empire who knows himself and his enemy, it is no one else.
General Mountbatten asked several questions, and Alan Wilson answered them all. Finally, he said, "After all, the South China Sea is much wider than the Straits, and our Pacific Fleet is no less powerful than the Seventh Fleet, which is enough to make the enemy helpless."
He was not trying to whitewash peace, he really thought so. Mountbatten nodded, actually agreeing with this.
"It has nothing to do with us who is the winner or the loser in the Far East, but I am a little curious about how long Mr. Chang, who has only one island left, can persist." Mountbatten said to himself.
"That is an American problem, but once it becomes normalized, it may eventually evolve into an Irish problem." Alan Wilson still found a real-life example for comparison, "If my Chinese friends ask me how to solve this problem,
If I am sincere, I will definitely give the advice to massacre the city in accordance with the Asian tradition."
"Massacre the city? My dear, don't talk about such a terrible topic." After hearing this, Pamela Mountbatten whispered, "This is modern society, no one would do such a thing."
"Sooner or later I will do this. If it was a hundred years ago, if I were born, I would definitely do this in Ireland." Alan Wilson said without changing his original intention, "Forget about the sad place in Ireland, it would be okay if we could just calm down.
No, we may have to let the people from Northern Rhodesia handle it at that time, they are more professional."
Alan Wilson doesn't have any feelings for those Nanpowan who defrauded the island. Anyway, Malaya's development plan must also be stepped on at the same time. Strictly speaking, they are also competitors. Even Japan has dealt with it, and he doesn't care about dealing with Japan's filial sons and grandsons.
.
As for the consequences, there is no such thing. He just took advantage of this attack on the prisoner of war camp to let a group of unstable factors say goodbye to the world. Of course, among them are the tentacles of the gun gangs.
As a colonist, he had maintained the greatest goodwill towards such people, and he used modern methods to shoot them, and did not introduce the Qing laws.
After receiving a signal of cautious optimism from Alan Wilson, General Mountbatten finally cleared his doubts and agreed to help.
For the current Labor Party in power, the attack on the prisoner of war camp incident is also a hot potato. First of all, the influence of both the Labor Party and the Conservative Party is limited to the local area.
Although the cabinet can formulate policies for the colonies, the information brought back by Alan Wilson shows that the colonial residents do not know the quality of this cabinet. Churchill may be more famous, while Attlee does not know him at all.
When facing a group of reporters, Alan Wilson also hinted that the so-called cabinet colony did not know him at all, and even the petition was directed at the king on the face value of the pound.
After being packaged in a small way by him as the British Commissioner of Malaya, 3.2 million petitions signed and allegiance petitions were bundled together. Under the real threat of repatriation, the previous attack on the prisoner of war camp was finalized, and it was just waiting.
With the approval of Buckingham Palace.
After finally returning, when General Mountbatten went to Buckingham Palace, Alan Wilson took the time to take a walk with Pamela Mountbatten to inquire about the situation in the country.
"Regarding the idea of a triad of nuclear strikes, there is not much space on the mainland to build silos." Pamela Mountbatten talked about the support of her father, General Mountbatten, and expressed the risk of placing road-based nuclear weapons on the mainland.
After all, the British mainland is not very large. Once it is hit by a nuclear attack, it will be difficult to escape from the fixed silos.
"What's the problem with this? Put it in Malaya." Alan Wilson said without even thinking about it. "Is there a nuclear mine project that just happened to be shipped there? Who dares to rob our colony and detonate it directly has nothing to say.
of."
"People in Malaya will never expect that their commissioner will talk like this when he comes back." Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her man and whispered, "Just talk in front of me, don't be invited by others.
."
"Will I be heard? I will definitely do the same when the time comes." Alan Wilson smiled slightly and asked in a low voice, "In fact, for the sake of maritime power, the country should really manufacture a batch of nuclear artillery shells to use them against
To prepare for emergencies, countries with important coastal cities like this may have some concerns."
"For example, what city?" Pamela Mountbatten looked directly at Alan Wilson and asked angrily.
"For example, Jakarta, Mumbai, or even Tokyo. Anyway, there will be no escape from the nuclear war. We can attack anyone." Alan Wilson looked relaxed and said indifferently, "If I have the final say,
No one in this world can blackmail Britain, and in the worst case, no one will live."
Alan Wilson, who brought a plane full of petitions, of course had to make a trip to Whitehall when he came back this time to express his reliability to the Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke and the Civil Service Secretary to the Treasury Edward Bridges.
.
"China has been added to the embargo list of the Paris Coordinating Committee." Norman Brooke talked about the recent additions to the embargo measures and said objectively and neutrally, "Of course this is normal. The current situation is indeed embarrassing to the Americans.
."
"Dear Sir, isn't that a good thing? Then we can have the exclusive right to do business with such a large market." Alan Wilson was overjoyed when he heard it and applauded the good news.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, Alan, are you a little too optimistic?" Norman Brook was slightly startled and said, "Although this is indeed the case, we also
Don’t expose yourself too much.”
"Now that Hong Kong is in our hands, this will be a long-term external communication channel. It is a market worth hundreds of millions. After all, it will be helpful to the British Empire, even if it opens up 1%." Alan Wilson's expression
Yi Su said, "Of course, for the sake of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, I don't think it would be too irritating to the Americans."
Regarding the expansion of the ban on the Paris Coordinating Committee by the United States alone, Alan Wilson felt that this was really good news for Britain, and it was also a good thing for the development of British Malaya.
If Xiangjiang was a small place and not worthy of attention before, it can be paid attention to now. At least the conditions for cutting leeks have matured. If a city can have so many rich people in later generations, isn't it because of real estate that is prospering the country?
Seeing Alan Wilson grinning from ear to ear, Norman Brook coughed softly, "The sea is so vast, even the strength of the Royal Navy cannot stop smuggling."
"But we will do our best to minimize the losses." Alan Wilson restrained himself and said in a serious tone, "Our attitude is in place, and the rest is left to God."
Alan Wilson, a reliable man, believed that some of the proceeds from the crackdown on smuggling should reach loyal Whitehall.
The storming of the prisoner-of-war camp has reached this result today. Although the process was thrilling, the foreseeable benefits were huge. Norman Brooke was also very satisfied with the result.
If that ends here, the several ethnic groups in British Malaya have clarified the boundaries between each other. What belongs to the British and what belongs to the Chinese and Malays can be regarded as a happy outcome.
After all, Britain is not France, and it does not have much pursuit of winner-take-all. Even if it tried to directly manage the colonies after World War II, it was not as greedy as the French.
The conditions of the British colonies were much better than those of the French colonies, and there was no need to pursue France's full control. Such a result would be enough to satisfy Whitehall.
The first batch of textiles from British Malaya has entered the European market, supplemented by colonies. Facing the economic and industrial recovery of European countries, Britain will become more comfortable.
Norman Brooke then made a report on this conversation in an optimistic tone and gave it to Prime Minister Attlee. At the same time, he also confirmed again that for the vast colonies, this government does not have the name of King George VI.
It works.
At Buckingham Palace, General Mountbatten, in front of the aging King George VI, hoped that His Majesty the King, whose physical condition had deteriorated sharply after the war, would listen to the call of the overseas territories and use his identity as king to resolve a crisis.
"Well, this is easier than the last time you came to ask me to put pressure on the First Sea Lord." George VI looked at the important members of the royal family in front of him with deep eyes, "Louis, I will issue an amnesty.
Order. As you come here to request, I have no reason not to do it, but there is no precedent, and the government will not have any doubts."
"It is a fact that the government has no sense of presence in the colonies at all." General Mountbatten replied calmly, "And the Prime Minister also knows this. The current war in the Far East is still going on, and the cabinet is not prepared to take the risk of taking a stance.
For many colonies, the presence of the monarch was far more important than the presence of the cabinet."
"I didn't expect that in my dying years, I would issue a pardon." George VI glanced at the queen who was accompanying him, "Elizabeth, I believe the cabinet will have no objections, right?"
There is no precedent to set a precedent, and George VI did not interfere in domestic politics. It shows the king's tolerance. What can be achieved by issuing an amnesty?
It just so happens that it takes someone who has never known what rules are to organize this matter, and General Mountbatten said that is exactly who he is.
