This kind of accusation has no effect on Alan Wilson. He was a patriot in his previous life, but in this life he was transferred to the United Kingdom. Although he was hit in the soft underbelly by the Soviet Union, it did not harm the benefit of society.
Determination.
At this time, he was talking to the stakeholders of the Five-Nation Alliance about how to maintain the security order in Southeast Asia. Although half of the world might not think so, he could not hear the voices of that half of the world.
Alan Wilson believed that without his help, the Netherlands was destined to leave Southeast Asia in despair.
But no one knows this future except him. The current fact is that before and after Indonesia's independence, the Netherlands did give up some of its interests to the United Kingdom. What Lieutenant General Sconce said that the Netherlands should be respected is a fact that people can see.
As for Alan Wilson's statement that it was the Netherlands that should thank Britain, no one but himself would think so.
The Netherlands did cede some land under its rule to the British, which has now been incorporated into the Malayan colony.
In the same way, there is also the part given to Portugal. Timor Island was originally divided between the Netherlands and Portugal, and the part managed by Portugal was called East Timor.
But when Indonesia's independence was inevitable, the Netherlands had to withdraw from Java and shrink to Kalimantan. By the way, it transferred the other half of West Timor to Portugal.
So now the entire Timor Island is managed by Portugal. Portugal is currently clearing the influence of the Peace Cult. This is what Governor Carle said. Alan Wilson admires it very much. I have to say that the countries of the Iberian Peninsula are really passionate about this.
Have a special liking.
If it were not for the two brothers from the Iberian Peninsula, the Christian world would be little more than a scumbag in front of the Peace Church world.
I just don’t know if the Portuguese have the energy to use the Inquisition to deal with the peaceful believers in West Timor at the stake.
Alan Wilson was too embarrassed to ask, otherwise he would look ungentlemanly, so he could only ask insinuatingly what step it had taken.
"Australia is very supportive of our work." Governor Carle mentioned Canberra's diplomatic and even financial support for Portugal's work.
"It's nothing unexpected." After hearing this, Alan Wilson said to himself that Australia has always been willing to make sacrifices when it comes to security issues. The fundamental reason is that it was frightened by Japan's southward movement and had a psychological shadow.
As long as Australia's security is involved, Canberra doesn't care whether the Portuguese are being persecuted religiously.
Alan Wilson also expressed goodwill toward Governor Calais, who knew from history that Portugal could be trusted to suppress the wave of colonial resistance, at least while Salazar was alive.
Don't think that Britain has no determination to maintain its colonies. It also suppressed the rebellion in Kenya last year. However, Britain and France have different styles. After the fight, they will hold talks immediately and adopt divide and conquer methods. It is not like France.
That's all, so the impact is not as big as the Algerian War.
"Commissioner Wilson, the development of Malaya is really amazing." Okuster praised the prosperity of the Malayan colonies. After all, most of Kalimantan is still in the hands of the Netherlands. If it can develop well, it will be beneficial to the development of Malaya.
The Netherlands is also a big help.
"If we work together, there shouldn't be a problem." Alan Wilson said hypocritically. He had no time to help the Dutch. In his eyes, tropical rainforests were almost as valuable land as deserts.
Coincidentally, Kalimantan has a tropical rainforest climate. Except for a few coastlines, the vast inland has almost no development value. That is why he suggested that the Mountbatten Group plan Northern Rhodesia as an agricultural base. Basically.
The reason is because Northern Rhodesia is actually a plateau,
If the climate is like that of the Belgian Congo, forget about any agricultural base. The soil nutrients are much better than those in Australia.
The population of Kalimantan in later generations is only a little over half of that of Malaysia. The land of 7.8 million square kilometers can support so few people. It can be seen that apart from resources, the development value is not great. Fortunately, there are not many Dutch people on the island, so life can be lived.
good.
"We are at a loss as to how to develop Timor Island." Calle also said that Portugal is now encountering similar problems.
"Perform some exploration to see if there are any valuable resources. I might be able to help." Alan Wilson immediately offered to help. Later, East Timor had two major supporters.
One is China and the other is Australia. Australia has greater influence because of the distance. After East Timor discovered natural gas, it sold it to Australia and tied them together through energy.
This kind of thing to enhance influence does not need to be said by Carle, Alan Wilson has to do it, let alone the other party taking the initiative to speak.
Alan Wilson thought of this and had an idea flash in his mind, and asked proactively, "Governor Calais, my wife's company intends to enter Brazil for development. I wonder if Portugal can provide some convenience?"
"If necessary, Portugal will try its best to help." Calle immediately said that there is no problem. The relationship between Portugal and Brazil is quite good, and can even be said to be very harmonious.
The relationship between American countries and European sovereign states, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface. Currently, Mexico is following the traditional path of the United States, which is submissive to the United States and Mexico, and strikes hard at Spain.
In order to compete for the position of the leader of Spanish-speaking countries, Mexico wishes that Spain would never be reborn. Compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, Mexico is already better than Spain in comparison.
The relationship between Portugal and Brazil is not like this. Portugal has little influence in Europe. Paris is surrounded by a bunch of Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas. Although there are times of discord, they are generally sympathetic. Although Portugal is not as big as Brazil,
But there are still quite a few colonies left, which Brazil is not looking down upon now.
At the political level, the two countries have a high degree of consistency because of their similar cultures. Portugal under Salazar established a "new country" system; a few years later, Brazil under Vargas also announced the beginning of a "new country". The former
Support traditionalism, which supports developmentalism, but adopts the same name based on common corporatist ideas.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freire proposed the theory of "racial democracy", believing that Brazil is a society built by multiple races and there is no racial discrimination. This theory
It became the theoretical cornerstone of official nationalism in Brazil, and Portugal quickly used it to promote the "Lusitania Tropical Special Theory" and support its colonial activities in Africa. The synchronicity of the ideological circles of the two countries is evident.
It can be said that Brazil and Portugal are harmonious at the official level, far from the hostile relationship between Spain and Mexico in Spanish-speaking countries, nor the secret struggle between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Pamela Mountbatten's exploration team went to Brazil. With the help of the Portuguese, a lot of trouble could definitely be reduced.
After getting the promise from Carlisle, Alan Wilson, a mere son-in-law, immediately went to his wife to claim credit, acting like a big licker.
"My dear, I've got you to worry about again." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes blinked, giving her husband the motivation to support the family. She took the initiative to engage in a verbal dispute, and then said, "Brazil, I gave the North Sea oil
Let’s transfer the exploration team to Timor Island to have a look. It will be used in exchange for Portugal’s support for the company’s exploration in Brazil, so you don’t have to waste your contacts. This is obviously a cooperation between countries.”
"Now it seems that there are still many benefits to helping other colonial countries." Alan Wilson tasted the fragrance of his wife's lips and said with a taste, "The original idea has been partially realized to increase the influence in the Malayan colonies.
, by supporting the manufacturing base, and by the way tying up the Netherlands and Portugal, a regional political and economic alliance has been formed. The benefits to the UK are huge. It also has Hong Kong’s special window status. If it operates well, it will have Asia’s influence.
It’s been maintained.”
"Energy is also very important. What are your thoughts on the work in the Middle East?" Pamela Mountbatten also expected the United Kingdom to escort the development of her company, but her husband could only manage this area, and the Middle East was still out of reach.
"I have suggested to Whitehall that John be the Persian Gulf Commissioner at the Aden headquarters after Lord Barron. We have both worked in British India and know each other fairly well. We can just cooperate with each other on matters in the Middle East." Alan Wilson and
The wife talked about her idea of helping an old colleague.
How could he forget the Middle East? In fact, of course Britain also knows the importance of the Middle East. Otherwise, history would not have stayed until the 1970s, and later generations would still have military bases in Oman.
While the United Kingdom was cheering for the five-nation joint defense move, the Turkish capital Ankara, the United States, Turkey and Pakistan jointly signed the Ankara Treaty.
When the news came, Alan Wilson recalled the memories in his mind and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Baghdad Treaty?" This so-called Ankara Treaty is very similar to the Baghdad Treaty Organization.
Alan Wilson's guess was correct. The United States indeed wanted to organize a military treaty organization in the Middle East to blockade the Soviet Union. But Arab countries are not interested in this organization now, and are particularly interested in Israel.
Iraq, which originally became the core country of the Baghdad Pact, is now more interested in competing with Egypt for the leadership of the Arab world than anything else. Moreover, Britain is not fanning the flames to encourage Iraq to join.
Because in this time and space, Britain is the backing force supporting Arab countries.
Without the British instigating Iraq, and Iraq seriously competing for influence with Egypt, who is more anti-Israel. The original Baghdad Treaty became an organization with only Pakistan and Turkey. Anyway, Alan Wilson could not think of these two
Apart from religion, what else can a country be the same about?
