After not seeing each other for several months, the two of them had endless things to talk about, including their recent work and schedule.
Pamela Mountbatten talked about the fact that the parent company had taken over Western Australia’s hydropower and recently signed a uranium supply contract with the United States. “The Hudson Bay Company in Canada was experiencing operating difficulties. The CEO there suggested to me that at the critical moment
Always lend a hand, acquire part of the company's shares, and resolve the Hudson's Bay Company's operating crisis."
"That's really a famous company." Alan Wilson whistled. This was a company as famous as the East India Company, but the Hudson's Bay Company still exists. "This department store doesn't seem to have any outstanding products."
"The company's reputation and long-term logistics should be regarded as an invisible value." Pamela Mountbatten nestled in her husband's arms. "What you taught me is that we can't just consider problems from a business perspective. At this level, we must first
Think politics.”
"That's right." Ellen Wilson was full of a sense of accomplishment. He had cultivated this strong woman with his own hands. He couldn't help but caress his wife's swollen belly, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart became stronger.
"What have you been doing these past few months? Let me listen." Pamela Mountbatten squinted her eyes and enjoyed her husband's warm palms.
"Oh, let me tell you about it." Alan Wilson mentioned the maritime delimitation in the Gulf of Guinea, the cod ban on Iceland, and explained the intrinsic connections between them. The order for Tiger helicopter gunships, when he passed through Malaya on his return,
By the way, I asked about the progress of the container revolution. Although his tone was plain, if you listen carefully, you can feel the high spirits inside.
At the end, referring to the current trends in the cabinet and Whitehall, Alan Wilson said in a low voice, "I will try my best to leave a stable environment for the next high commissioner. Maybe by the time the West-Malaysia Railway is opened, I will no longer be in office.
If the urban construction progresses smoothly, we may still see phased results."
"A stable environment?" Pamela Mountbatten immediately extracted the key words upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Which part?"
"There are areas for strengthening and areas for weakening. We cannot generalize. It is not that there are no areas for improvement. The beginning of Chinese Malay language textbooks will be revised. Some things must be started from childhood."
Alan Wilson has ordered the revision of the first lesson of the Chinese textbook, the beautiful royal domain of Malaya.
In the first lesson of such an important course as Chinese language, it explains the strong anti-foreign ideas. What is the Pearl of the Commonwealth and the Spear of Asia? It is clear that Malaya is still a colonial territory, and the British mainland faces Europe from the east and west.
Asia Continent carries out offshore balancing, covering the primary and secondary relationships of the entire Commonwealth market.
This is of course an exaggeration of the current Malayan colony, but it is actually a fact. There is no doubt that Britain hopes that the Malayan colony will play a role in consolidating the pound area.
It's just that it's not like what he said in the Chinese textbook. It seems that Malaya's status is the second brother in the Commonwealth.
Deception is definitely deception, but it is only partial deception. It is also accompanied by illustrations, using arrows of economic and trade relations between the existing members of the Commonwealth and the British colonies, to deepen the understanding that the Malayan colonies are worthy of pride.
Pamela Mountbatten nodded frequently, and then slowly spoke, "That's very good, but dear, you know that the part I want to hear is about ethnic conflicts, regional conflicts and religious conflicts."
She knew her husband very well, and the content she actively shared was always high-end, while the silent part was the real promotion.
"There is not a specific concept yet, just some concrete steps. A new area will be planned near the Far East Joint Operations Command in Singapore, where smuggled women will be placed. Contact between the garrison and local residents will be isolated. You know, nearby
There are stowaways in South Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and even as far away as South Korea. The men will be repatriated and the women will be concentrated here."
“Carry out other economic planning!” Alan Wilson elaborated on the other economy in a serious way, “vigorously activate the other economic engine and create a ‘her economic’ ecosystem, which will provide more opportunities and platforms for women’s employment and entrepreneurship.”
"What is that?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not simple, involving women and the garrison?
"Don't ask, dear." Alan Wilson couldn't say that so many British troops stationed in Malaysia couldn't become monks. He could only use these foreign women who smuggled into the Malayan colonies to create a big brothel in Southeast Asia?
Although this is also a fact, as a high commissioner, he cannot speak too clearly in the name of the Chief Executive.
Malaya is a colony, and the issue of garrisoning troops is inherently sensitive. When he was the chief executive, he wanted to piss on Singapore. If he resigned, the new chief executive might not dare to impose restrictions on the British troops stationed in Malaya.
Alan Wilson was promoting the economic construction of Malaya, and at the same time he was also turning the tide on the social atmosphere. In such a conservative colonial social environment, from time to time, news of rape of women came from the garrison, which brought hidden dangers to British colonial rule.
.
He didn't care what women were like. No turmoil was dominated by women. What he was afraid of was that the men in the colonies would cause trouble and feel that their wives and sisters were being humiliated, which would lead to anti-British thoughts.
Therefore, we need a group of people who cannot empathize to act as a buffer. Anyway, our two major ethnic groups in Malaya are pure and innocent. They are shameless women who smuggled in from outside and rushed to split the thighs of the garrison.
In fact, there are still Indians, but Alan Wilson feels that the Indian community will die out soon. In fact, it is very simple. The main atmosphere is that men provide bride price. In India, on the contrary, the main atmosphere is that women prepare dowry.
The collision of this kind of customs, the ebb and flow of one another, may engulf the Indian community. When this generation of colonial children grow up, they may usher in a period of ethnic conflict based on this.
"There is no need to elaborate on the religious conflicts. We are going to print the Malay version separately."
As a high commissioner, Alan Wilson also has to learn and apply it flexibly, but he will definitely leave a trail behind and spread this kind of double standard in East Malaysia so that the residents of East Malaysia will have this understanding before they start doing this.
"But what does the colony you manage have to do with it?" Regional conflict is the literal meaning. Pamela Mountbatten could easily understand it, but she could not understand the role of the Malay version of history.
"I remember that the big compradors who have a good relationship with you all claim to love peace." Pamela Mountbatten was full of surprise. This was the first time her husband mentioned these things.
"Hehe." Alan Wilson chuckled and said seriously, "Of course, that's what you call yourself, haha... The Indians also say that if India leads the world, there will definitely not be the evils of the colonial era. Even if we claim to be, we can't control it. I’m not slandering, I’m just conveying the history they recorded themselves and disseminating it.”
Why did Zhungeer change the name of the place? Why did he drive out the seedlings to expand the industry? Zuo Zongtang was still too soft on the Peace Sect. Alan Wilson brought out Dolonga and added it to the list. What does the word fangao mean? Scam Island Are the locals delicious or not?
In the Ming Dynasty, ethnic minorities were an important source of eunuchs. The standard for how to systematically eliminate foreign races was: "One person can capture three pills and be promoted to one level. If he kills nine pills, he can be promoted to three levels. If he is a strong man, he will be with Practical teaching. Young men, women, and those with more than ten grains, but not enough, will be rewarded."
The "Ming Huidian" clearly lists the prices. Different emperors and different ethnic groups have different prices, including men, women, old and young. In the "Manuscript of Qing History", the Qing Dynasty generally inherited the policies of the Ming Dynasty. What are the differences? The Qing Dynasty was more efficient.
After all, the Malayan colony was a model of multiculturalism. Alan Wilson just wanted the Malays to get to know their neighbors, which was completely well-intentioned and completely selfless.
It just so happens that the aboriginals on Swindle Island are also related to the Malays. The Malays can learn about the history of the aborigines making ointment. I heard that it was very popular at that time. This is also to use history as a mirror. Peaceful believers also attach great importance to religion. , there will definitely be empathy.
Originally, if the second term could be completed, Alan Wilson would still have time to make adjustments, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
But he also didn't want to miss the opportunity of the vacancy of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If Sir Ismay resigned, he would have to return to London to fight for it, so some tasks had to be implemented in advance.
For example, armored divisions, Malay Marine divisions, various policies, and opening up middle- and low-level civil servants to recruit colonial residents to join the colonial government, etc. At least he was more confident in doing it than the next high commissioner.
The areas that should be bridged should be bridged, and the areas that should be provoked should be provoked. Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard. The most important thing in life is to have the courage to try.
It's like he, a colonial high commissioner, doesn't delay in doing his part for the great space cause.
Not only will his wife understand him, but even Princess Margaret will understand him. Her Royal Highness is no longer a willful love-head, but is now mature. Knowing that Pamela Mountbatten is physically inconvenient, she takes the initiative to help her brother-in-law resolve his worries.
The long-term feeling of emptiness finally disappeared at this time. Only this kind of day full of fulfillment is what the princess wants.
