As the biggest beneficiary of the colonial era, Britain should think about protecting its current vested interests. Alan Wilson believes that the saying "I will not offend others unless they offend me" is very suitable for Britain today.
Moreover, the UK is in the same environment as the Victorian era and the current environment. If it does not get things done at home, it will inevitably be out of touch in policy implementation. It is just like the two political parties in the United States in the 21st century. There may not be the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
The fight is so obvious, but Britain's national strength cannot compare with that of the United States.
A sound conservative attitude is the most important thing for Britain to do. Therefore, it is not impossible to think about transferring the British garrison in Malaya to Vietnam to help the French army, but it must not be put into action.
Alan Wilson also didn’t know which part of the British Empire’s army the British Malaya army belonged to. The British army is well known to have an army with extremely high upper and lower limits. The upper limit of the main force in Normandy is similar to that of Germany’s heavy military group.
There will be a time when the minimum limit is to surrender to the second-rate Japanese army.
If the British troops in British Malaya happened to be the latter, it would just be another old imperialist disgrace on the Vietnam battlefield.
Now that he has returned to Kuala Lumpur, in accordance with the agreement to meet in Paris, Alan Wilson out of courtesy sent a telegram to General Navarre, commander-in-chief of the French army in Vietnam, saying that he had returned and was supervising the production of military supplies for the French army.
"The French will definitely go into action this year, and expenditures in all aspects will also surge." Alan Wilson said to Richard, the head of the Malayan Administrative Bureau, "This order is out of our concern for the French army in
The support for the Vietnam operation, as expected, fell into our hands. This is the last big boost for the French army. We must seize this opportunity!"
"Commissioner, before you come back, I have made arrangements and all aspects of production are proceeding in an orderly manner." Richard immediately reported on this issue as soon as he heard it.
West Malaysia Commissioner Ms. Alisa is currently on leave. The main reason is that it is reported that her husband has a baby.
Judging from her age, this is quite normal. Before Alan Wilson came back, Alyssa had been approved for leave, but she did not return to the UK. Like Alan Wilson's wife who lives in Australia, she chose to wait with her husband in Australia for the angel to come.
.
After all, he has been a reliable subordinate for a long time. Of course, Alan Wilson has to create a comfortable environment for Alyssa and her husband, who are all so familiar with each other.
"The French are going to work hard this year, which is good news for us here. With the advantageous industries of sugar, rubber, and tin mining, our fiscal revenue this year will reach 100 million pounds. Whether we can completely replace British India, it depends on
It depends on the demand this year." Alan Wilson stood up and lit a cigar for himself, and also gave one to Richard.
Pamela Mountbatten bought this from Latin America for her husband to use for his personal hobbies.
In normal times, the financial share of British India was only 100 million pounds. After the war, British India was about to become independent. In addition, there were problems in the British mainland, so the Governor-General desperately began to tap the potential.
British Malaya, with a revenue of 100 million pounds, has replaced the original British India, at least in terms of finance.
And this is just the beginning. Alan Wilson believes that with this strategic location, more wealth can be created. Except that the population is still not comparable to that of British India, there are no problems in other aspects.
"The French have high hopes for the air force and are very generous with their orders for napalm." Richard mentioned the French military's request. He did not know that this kind of help was proactively offered by his immediate superior.
"This is normal, but in the final analysis it still depends on the ground forces. I don't know how useful the German armored forces in the hands of the French will be in Vietnam." Alan Wilson looked worried. He still hoped that France could provide some help.
The current armored force of the French army mainly comes from the armament remains after Germany's defeat and the assistance from the United States in the war bill.
As one of the main battlefields of the European War and an important force participating in the war, France captured a large amount of Germany's remaining armaments after the war, including nearly a hundred serviceable Panther tanks and a huge fleet of Junkers transport aircraft.
The French were also overjoyed by the large number of German-made armored vehicles they obtained after the war. First, the new French Army had to rapidly expand its armored forces in order to face the approaching Soviet steel torrent; second, because the French military industrial enterprises in a short period of time
In the absence of mature and reliable tank design solutions, the proven Panther tank equipment can provide inspiration for a new generation of designers.
After the war, France actively sought to return to its colonies and hoped to use its vast colonies to revitalize its position on the international stage.
As an important transportation force of the Third Reich in the past, Junkers transport aircraft also became an important support for the global projection of French strategic power after the war.
Coincidentally, the armaments remnants of the collapsed Third Reich are also an important source of support for the Soviet Union's current revolutionary armed forces in various places. The Soviet Union cannot use its own armaments.
Therefore, a very interesting situation has emerged on the current battlefield in Vietnam. The French, who use German armaments, are facing the Vietnamese, who also use a large amount of German equipment. The two countries are competing to see who is better than Germany.
Alan Wilson still believes that the French are more German, because for a period of time after the war, the main source of troops for France's famous Foreign Legion was Germans. There were 20,000 French Foreign Legion soldiers in Vietnam.
If nothing else, the German veterans of the French Foreign Legion will be the main force in this large-scale French attack.
One day after returning to Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson had already adapted to the working atmosphere again and worked until two o'clock in the afternoon, leaving the rest for his own personal time.
Thanks to his common interest in micro-management with Chang Gong, even when he returned to London, he knew the place well, and hadn't he been supporting many big compradors like Mr. Su and Mr. Tian?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The industrial distribution of British Malaya is simply like this. Natural resources are in the hands of the Malays, and the processing industry is in the hands of the Chinese. Of course, there is no such clear distinction, because it is similar
For the relatively important industries, such as tin mining and rubber, they have a huge impact on the British economy, and it is not yet time to let them go to others.
In the same way, steel is an important industry that makes a country strong, and it is more secure for the UK to control it. Whether it is given to the Malays or the Chinese, there is a risk that it cannot control it.
These important industries are placed within the Kingdom of Sarawak, and of course Alan Wilson will be indifferent to his neighbors.
For example, the Dutch part of Kalimantan Island, compared to its huge area, even if the land is a little barren, it can be used as a key business area for the small number of Dutch people.
The most important thing is that the island of Kalimantan is divided into the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, so they can take care of each other. As for the largest city in Kalimantan, it is still Kuching, the capital of the Kingdom of Sarawak.
Not counting the French who fought in Vietnam, there are currently 200,000 armed forces of European colonists in Southeast Asia, belonging to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Portugal, as well as Australia and New Zealand, which have garrisons, because the Netherlands retains the largest territory, hundreds of years ago
Maritime coachmen, second only to France's Southeast Asian colonial army.
But how could Alan Wilson, who was full of kindness and humanism, care about the evil colonial issue? He was discussing with his wife Pamela Mountbatten’s right-hand man Marina from Northern Rhodesia about the humanitarian issues for the orphans of the Korean War.
Rescue issues.
This is a world full of chaos and tragedy. Children are innocent anyway. This is a good occasion to show mercy. It must be admitted that Alan Wilson happens to be a kind person, and he even has a kind heart.
The gun was just thrown away after use.
"That idiot Syngman Rhee does not have the ability to lead South Korea to take off. Now that the war is over, there is a high probability that South Korea will be in long-term poverty." Alan Wilson told Marina, "You are the biggest in Northern Rhodesia.
The enemy is the huge black population around you. You have a small population. I am really embarrassed to ask you to leave Northern Rhodesia and help Pamela’s industry live in various places."
"But there are some things that have to be done. In the name of charity, collecting war orphans, educating them and using them later is a feasible option. Now South Korea's economy has been smashed, and Britain did not help much during the war.
Just do something that makes us feel at ease.”
Alan Wilson was simply enveloped in humanism, but he just remembered something. It seemed? It seemed? Probably, he once made a big statement in front of his wife and sister-in-law, saying that he must let Syngman Rhee, who criticized London, kill the whole family.
…
A man must be true to his word. If he says he wants Syngman Rhee to kill his family, he must kill his family.
It is very logical that this shameless and incompetent first president of South Korea died at the hands of a South Korean orphan.
"Commissioner, how many people will be rescued?" Marina nodded. She already understood what her boss's husband meant, and asked how many war orphans would be needed for this humanitarian care.
"Ten thousand people should be enough. There may be other opportunities in the future." Alan Wilson twiddled his fingers, calculated the birth rates of the two major ethnic groups in British Malaya, and thought about the time for the next rebalancing strategy.
The so-called other opportunities are naturally the refugees after the United States knelt down in Vietnam. British Malaya will definitely accept them. On the surface, they can help the United States in such innocuous matters. The greater benefit is to continue to maintain their support for Malaya.
The relative demographic advantage of people.
Because the Chinese are a group that is willing to do business compared to the natives of Southeast Asia. After South Vietnam was captured, a large number of refugees were Chinese, and they could continue to buy some time for British rule.
