"That's really good news!" Alan Wilson joked, blowing a whistle in front of his wife, his joy at the news was beyond words, "Let me just say, every time my Pamela appears, she always brings good news.
"
It's not that Alan Wilson is inherently evil, but competition between countries is like this. Breaking the opponent's legs will not make you run faster, but as long as something happens to the competitor, it is definitely a good thing for your own side.
This is proven by the fact that Britain could come from behind in the Hundred Years' War and overtake France step by step.
"I knew you would be happy!" Pamela Mountbatten pursed her lips and snickered. Of course she knew what kind of virtue her husband was.
Alan Wilson has a very simple bastard logic. If he loses a dollar and is picked up by someone else, he will lose two dollars inside and outside. However, because the original plan is disrupted by the loss of a dollar, the person who picked up the money will lose two dollars.
If you spend one more dollar to seize the opportunity of one more dollar, theoretically the loss is unlimited.
This logic is very stupid, but the woman who has been taught by the words and deeds of this imperial servant since she was a child has already accepted this weird logic. Since her husband can tell this set of fallacies, then it is not a fallacy.
"You are the person who understands me best, my dear. This understanding makes me feel the meaning of existence. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very sad if you said that I am so powerful but no one in the world knows about it."
Alan Wilson was careless and touched his wife's buttocks, causing a burst of jealousy, "This is the Administrative Office, and you are the local commissioner. Are you going to manage a colony of 10 million people like this?"
"What's a colony with a population of 10 million? It's not as important as my wife!" Alan Wilson raised his head without taking his hands off. "Give me enough time, and many seemingly important things will be nothing."
, but you are different, I only have one wife."
Tch! Pamela Mountbatten turned her head and murmured with a happy smile on her face, "You know how to say nice things."
"Did I just say that? I've done it before!" Alan Wilson said with a face as thick as the Great Wall.
Seeing that Alan Wilson wanted to talk nonsense again, Pamela Mountbatten directly blocked her husband's mouth when he mentioned the famous scenes between the two. Looking back now, some scenes still make people blush and heartbeat.
The world is so big, and countless things are happening every moment, but most of the stories are not important to this world, so naturally we don't care about them.
In the position of British Malaya, the surrounding situation was not stable. However, out of the perspective of keeping the colonial subjects ignorant, some information was blocked. For example, from time to time, due to the accumulation of prisoners, there were regular
Prison clearance operation.
There is no need for the locals to know about such a trivial matter, and Alan Wilson certainly cannot let his wife and Her Royal Highness the Princess worry about it.
There are many things worth discussing that do not involve British Malaya, such as the remnants of the Artillery Party entrenched in northern Burma.
According to Myanmar's current complaint at the United Nations General Assembly, the official description is that this is an army with advanced American equipment, experienced decades of warlord melee, eight years of anti-Japanese war, and several years of brutal civil war, and has rich combat experience.
Why does Alan Wilson know about this? After all, the United Nations headquarters is in New York and has little to do with him as a colonial commissioner. He should not be concerned.
The problem is that Burma was once a British colony. Although British India and British Burma have become independent one after another, Britain did not completely retreat in Asia. Instead, it shrank its strength and united with European colonial countries to confront Indonesia.
At this moment, the British presence in the world is still very high, especially in Asia. Among the remaining overseas territories in the hands of the British Empire, although the area of Africa is much larger than that of Asia, in the eyes of London, the Asian colonies are more valuable than Africa.
.
British Malaya is not far from Myanmar, and even the northern end of the Malay Peninsula borders Myanmar. Burma is troubled by the remnants of the Artillery Party. In addition to complaining to the United Nations and directly seeking influence from the United States, which is behind the Artillery Party, Myanmar
He turned his attention to Britain for help again.
The United States originally did not pay much attention to the defeated generals of the Artillery Party, but after the Korean War, the United States felt that this remnant army was valuable again, and its request for Burma also changed from enthusiastic to indifferent.
The British army in British Malaya still numbered 40,000 to 50,000, so it was reasonable to ask for help from the former sovereign state.
The Burmese contacted London and sought direct help from the commander of the British forces in Malaya, Lieutenant General Bilton. However, as the local chief executive, Alan Wilson naturally knew about it very quickly and was unable to do anything about it.
When he accompanied his wife to Sarawak to inspect the territory, he even said quietly, "If Lieutenant General Bilton and I have different opinions, I hope General Mountbatten can use his influence in the military to transfer him."
"Do you think the UK should refuse Yangon's request for help?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was wearing a long dress, tilted her head, and Princess Margaret followed closely and cast a curious look.
"Now that we have withdrawn, let's be more thorough. What conditions can Myanmar offer? Can it allow us to recolonize? Since it can't, India has suffered losses before, so we form an army and go into the deep mountains and old forests? The current situation of the French, and from our perspective
Do it happen again?"
Alan Wilson shrugged, walked to a bench and wiped it gently, then asked his wife and sister-in-law to sit down, and said distressedly, "Now after a few years, Malaya is initially on the right track. I still
We hope that this key colony will play a greater role in the future of Britain, instead of wasting time on useless jungle warfare that should be used to develop industry and even upgrade industry in the future."
In front of his wife and sister-in-law, Alan Wilson had nothing to hide. He would never change his habit of bragging in front of women in his life, otherwise he would not have allowed the Soviet Union to take advantage of the Berlin Crisis.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Myanmar still has some value to Pamela Mountbatten, who is preparing to build another Emerald House in Australia, this value is not worth a military action.
"The most important thing is that more than half of the Chinese people in Malaya are Chinese. Once the British army enters Burma and confronts the Chinese, if the fire is set here, the gains will outweigh the losses." Pamela Mountbatten naturally understood her husband's thinking through words and deeds.
But the upright sister-in-law seemed to be a bit unabashed, and concluded, "Don't you dare to confront China?"
Alan Wilson gave Princess Margaret a warning look, and then said lightly, "What does this matter? If you mean a passionate war for the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, Your Highness, Britain has never
I have never done this. In the past, Britain and China did have unhappy times, but we sent troops after careful consideration and strictly limited the scale and time. But now through the current situation of the French, we can all see that we cannot do anything once the war starts.
To control costs, the French have to rely on American military aid to persist."
"Why do you think our previous relationship with China was so harmonious?" Princess Margaret was stunned. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law thought so.
"It's always been very harmonious!" Alan Wilson said nonchalantly. Britain just occupies a part of Hong Kong. If there are Chinese people around, it may be rude to say this, but the facts are in front of us, and that's it.
As far as the area of Hong Kong is concerned, it is a very insignificant area in the relationship between countries.
Over the past hundreds of years, more than a hundred countries have been conquered by the British Empire, and countries all over the country have been occupied and turned into colonies. In terms of intensity, the British attack on the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as a very restrained friction.
"The British Empire has never thought that we can't do anything to China. Previous wars were at best in coastal cities, and China's capital is not far from the sea, so it can't be said to be very difficult."
"But this time is different. At this time, the war is much more cruel than a hundred years ago. We have to go deep into the interior, which is not something an expeditionary force can do. The Indians have already suffered a loss, and the French are in the jungles of Vietnam.
I am fully aware of the difficulties and must not let the British troops in Malaya get involved in a military operation with huge risks."
Alan Wilson's advice to the mainland is that London should play dead in the face of Myanmar's request! Myanmar has become independent and is not British Burma now. There is no reason for Britain to intervene in a military operation.
"I believe General Bilton will also consider it carefully." Pamela Mountbatten grabbed her husband's hand with her backhand and whispered softly, "If he disagrees with you as a military commander, I will contact my father and find ways to put pressure on him.
Find a solution locally.”
"This is the best thing. There is hope that the local debt will be cleared, so it doesn't look like the French owe a lot of debt again."
With his wife's statement, Alan Wilson felt much more relaxed. As for the Myanmar issue, it is better to resolve it in a diplomatic setting. The UK has no obligation to help with independence and Myanmar.
However, reception work is still required. Alan Wilson, who was accompanying the two women, also learned that General Navarre had returned from the mainland. Although Alan Wilson was reluctant to the British military operation in Myanmar, this did not delay him.
Encourage the brave French to strike hard.
Alan Wilson showed greater concern for the large-scale military operation that France had been preparing for a long time than for Burma affairs.
Of course, before that, he still had to solve Britain's own problems first. He communicated with General Bilton about Myanmar's request for assistance and analyzed how to respond. In fact, how to reject Myanmar's request.
"Alan, didn't you say that Mr. Chang's military level is just like that?" General Bilton was very curious. When did Admiral Mountbatten's son-in-law become so cautious? This is not the Alan Wilson he knows. He is so incompetent.
