The British army cannot deal with guerrilla warfare. In fact, no army can deal with guerrilla warfare in a foreign country, unless the explosive force strikes with all its strength, or France mobilizes 800,000 troops to blockade it layer by layer.
Then it is necessary to improve the local military level and bring it into the comfort zone of the British army. Therefore, the two divisions prepared must not be stingy. They must be established according to the standards of the British army's combat troops.
As many tanks as there are in a British armored division, the Chinese armored division established must have as many tanks. Whatever the British Marine Corps uses, the Malay Marine Division must use.
Heavy weapons are not difficult for the current Britain. The Churchill tank has just been withdrawn from active service by the British army for less than five years. There are a large number of mothballed Churchill tanks in the UK. The Cromwell cruise tank has only been withdrawn from active service for two years. The British army stationed in Malaysia is equipped with
The one is the Centurion tank. It is completely reasonable to form armored units according to their respective duties.
"These are some opinions on the recruitment of local soldiers formulated by the Administrative Office." Alan Wilson was well prepared and came up with a series of provisions, including welfare benefits, retirement placement and the crime of destroying military marriages. There were also references to traditional British employment.
The treatment of Nepalese and the management of the French Foreign Legion.
After consideration, Alan Wilson found that the two major groups in Malayan society currently have conservative ideas, and the scope of the crime of disrupting military marriages can be appropriately expanded, not just to protect active military personnel.
Therefore, the revised standard for breaking military marriages in the Malayan colonies is that if a person has served in the British service, the crime of breaking military marriages will be applicable for a lifetime, even if this person only served as a soldier for two years.
As for preventing the heavily relied upon Chinese armored divisions and Malay Marine divisions from mutiny, the military preparation is to establish a group of armed helicopters. Alan Wilson copied the imported product from the Apache, which has now been officially named the Tiger armed helicopter.
, submitted to the Cabinet through the Ministry of National Defense, and after approval, the order can be placed.
Lieutenant General Sconce was already a little numb. How could he not know now that Mountbatten's son-in-law had been prepared? He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I thought you were only talented in administrative work and could transform the colony."
into Shanghai.”
"Huh? Dear general, I am stronger than Mr. Chang, he cannot compare with me." Alan Wilson not only did not think it was a compliment, but instead thought it was a great insult.
Sconce is a British man, and his knowledge of the city is limited to hearing about it. If it weren't for the fact that the majority of the Malayan colonies were Chinese, I guess Sconce would have mentioned Bombay, which he is more familiar with.
But Alan Wilson knew something about Chang Gong's level. During the Republic of China, the Demon City was so powerful that a special corpse collection team was set up, and the number of unidentified corpses collected throughout the year was never less than 10,000.
It was so powerful that the ratio of prostitutes to citizens was one to one hundred, excluding the men, it became one to sixty. It was so powerful that there were 20,000 opium dens in the urban area, and twenty specialized drug manufacturing factories supplied these opium dens.
It is so powerful that for every two men, there is one gang member. According to fashionable saying, if they all are shot, there will be no fish that slip through the net. If you shoot every other gang member, you may let the bad guys go. It is so powerful that ordinary people can spend two yuan on entertainment after working for a year.
, cinema tickets cost five yuan.
If Alan Wilson made the colony like this, let alone whether it would affect his future career. Whether he could survive until the end of his term was a question. If Sukarno saw the Malayan colony like this, it was not infiltration, but
It’s time to have an Indonesian version of the Liberation War.
Today, the colony of Malaya has a population of more than 13 million, with a food self-sufficiency rate of 15%. This is the result of him bringing improved seeds from all over the world into agriculture and animal husbandry, and starting the Green Revolution. Not counting carats.
A grain merchant group in the Isthmus that has no profits for the time being.
Steel production was the result of Britain using its influence to import iron ore from Australia, control of which was in the hands of his wife Pamela Mountbatten.
The Malayan colony produces 400,000 tons of rubber annually and is still the world's number one rubber production base. It supplies other countries and can even be sold to the Soviet Union, including part of the production capacity that always disappears when shipped to Xiangjiang.
The annual output of palm oil is 5 million tons, and the output of sugar is 8.5 million tons, which are supplied to the British mainland and the European Community market, Commonwealth countries and British colonies.
Recent planning also includes cocoa cultivation, hoping to have a place in the world's coffee market in the future.
Alan Wilson didn't dare to say how much credit he had, but at least he tried his best after taking office. He could not take any credit and be proud of it. It was right to support the Royal Pacific Fleet, but compared with Chang Gong?
This was a great insult to him. After leaving Singapore, he decided to behead two anti-British elements for fun.
Even in the subsequent conversation, Lieutenant General Sconce felt that Alan Wilson was quite serious and joked, "It seems that you also know that you are not welcomed by the garrison."
"Who told me to always send soldiers who made mistakes in the garrison to Qingshan Mental Hospital? It's strange that someone who has lived in a pigeon cage has a good impression of me."
Alan Wilson also knew what his image was like in the military. He changed the subject and said, "There has been a trend since two years ago. Many Korean women smuggled into the colonies, especially near Singapore. Of course, I don't want to criticize the garrison again.
It's all nonsense, but if the disease spreads, it will be a scandal. You know, the US military stationed in Japan during the MacArthur period caused protests from American women."
The emergence of this trend surprised Alan Wilson. Koreans should go to Japan for smuggling. How far is Malaya from South Korea? Is it because the British Red Cross adopted war orphans and started the British war?
The name of the empire?
However, because he had foreseen that the development of the Malayan colony might lead to a wave of illegal immigration, he had been taking precautions in this regard, mainly to guard against men, and would repatriate them if they were found. The treatment was as follows: Send Mihajlovic to Northern Rhodes
The treatment in West Asia ensures that not a penny can be taken away.
"Your crime of sabotaging a military marriage may dilute the military's dislike of you." Lieutenant General Sconce looked at the revised clause to protect soldiers and said with a wry smile, "Maybe the soldiers in the garrison will try their best to control it.
My wife or girlfriend in China deceived me.”
"It is not in my hands to decide whether colonial regulations apply to native citizens." Alan Wilson pointed at it. It depends on what the cabinet thinks, and Whitehall can't say.
No. 10 Downing Street. The Secretary of Defense, Earl Alexander, arrived at No. 10 Downing Street to meet with Prime Minister Attlee.
With professional advice refined by Whitehall, including but not limited to, the start-up schedule and cost control of the new aircraft carrier, the order for Tiger helicopter gunships, and the Malayan colony's absorption of local manpower, joining the British army, etc.
The matter of the new aircraft carrier was a cover-up. Earl Alexander mainly talked about Tiger helicopter gunships, Malayan military expansion, and the economic development of the Malayan colonies. Whitehall told Attlee directly, and there was no need for him to do it for him.
"If the Prime Minister feels that there is a problem with the cost, he can talk to France to see if the cost can be shared. As for the function, the Ministry of Defense has already tested it. Whether it is used against armored groups or used against anti-British guerrillas, it will
It is excellent and definitely an excellent military product.”
Count Alexander tried his best to convince the Prime Minister of the excellence of the Tiger armed helicopter, which would become a benchmark in the field of armed helicopters once interviewed.
"Strive for orders from France?" Prime Minister Attlee asked after hearing the question, "Do the French have a preference for armed helicopters?"
"France believed on the battlefield in Vietnam that armed helicopters were a powerful weapon against guerrillas, but because there were not many armed helicopters in hand at the time, it could not expand its results. The same problems faced by the French are also faced by the British today.
Sconce, commander of the Far East Joint Operations Command, mentioned the hope of an armed helicopter to ensure the security of the Malayan colonies."
"Is that so?" Prime Minister Attlee became serious after hearing this. The importance of the Malayan colony is self-evident. At first, some people said that Malaya should be used to replace British India. He actually didn't believe it in his heart, but now
It seems that the replacement is more than enough.
Not everything is a good thing. For example, he can feel that Washington secretly wants Britain to withdraw from Asia. Of course he cannot agree to say goodbye to the global empire.
Once the urban construction of Malaya is completed, Britain will receive huge benefits, which no amount of money can buy.
Even if Prime Minister Attlee has never been interested in military investment, he must still express support for some projects.
In his twelfth year as Prime Minister, Attlee, a Prime Minister who focused on people's livelihood, moved closer and closer to safeguarding the interests of the British Empire.
If the Malayan colonies had not helped Britain consolidate its market in the Commonwealth and its vast colonies, Britain would have faced tremendous pressure. Even now, Attlee could feel the ubiquitous competition against Britain.
Japan and West Germany have low wages and low currency valuations. With the continuous expansion of investment, their international competitiveness has rapidly improved and their trade surplus has continued to grow. However, the United Kingdom and the United States are in relative decline, and their economic growth rates are only about half of those of Germany and Japan.
The UK also has a strong monetary policy, and the value of the pound is higher than the US dollar. Facing the recovery of Germany, it has been greatly affected. Fortunately, the impact on Japan has been absorbed by the United States itself.
The reason why Britain was able to resolve the crisis was that it had quite a lot of colonies that were in a state of being developed. After being reminded by some professional reports from Whitehall, Attlee regarded the colonies as a depression to resolve the crisis, and then took pains in the colonies.
As for the origin of this method, the imperial commissioners who were familiar with the scissors game between workers and peasants in countries under the Soviet system were of course very aware that rural areas could not escape the fact that they were cut off time and time again. They just regarded the British African colonies as rural areas.
Indirect rule has the advantages of indirect rule, but direct rule has the advantages of direct rule. Britain rarely builds unimportant colonies, so let these colonies swallow up Britain's crisis.
