Chapter 932: The Third United States in the World

These words are already very sharp. It is really unjustifiable to achieve such achievements ten years after independence. Of course, there are many factors. The only consolation is that the Burmese people still live like human beings than Indians.

"Mr. Wilson, Myanmar's development may not be satisfactory, but the current achievements are gratifying for Myanmar after independence." U Nu heard the sarcasm in the words, but still replied calmly, "We in Myanmar

It is a peaceful country and has good relations with neighboring countries."

"Oh, they are all very good? For example, the pro-Thai forces in Shan State? And the Wa State in the north. You should all thank me, otherwise the Rohingya would also be troublesome." Alan Wilson chuckled, "Of course, you

It can be said in front of me that Myanmar is a peaceful country, but I just pretend that I don’t know that before the British occupation, Myanmar destroyed Thailand, attacked India, and even fought several battles with the Qing Dynasty.”

From this point of view, Myanmar was indeed the little overlord in Southeast Asia at the time. After occupying the entire territory of Thailand, the land controlled by Myanmar was already qualified to stand side by side with China. Generally, the regime in Jiangnan was divided into areas as large as Myanmar at that time.

It has to be said that when Qianlong encountered a very energetic Qianlong, the Qing army that attacked Burma was not acclimatized and a large number of people died of illness. As a result, Qianlong's idea of ​​destroying Burma and establishing a province was in vain. However, it also greatly weakened Burma's national power and led to the restoration of Thailand.

The dream of a big country in the south has always come to nothing.

It is not a pity that Burma Province was not realized. Even if Qianlong conquered Burma, he did not have time to engulf or call it national integration.

Because the British army would come by sea soon. Qianlong would just have one more piece of evidence that he was a prodigal son.

If U Nu had been in front of other British people, he might have gotten away with saying he was peace-loving.

But it just so happened that Alan Wilson knew so much about Eastern history that he left the Burmese people speechless with just a few words.

"Speaker, this Englishman has been to Burma, and he knows the entire East very well." After the first contact, Wu Dinglun found an opportunity to mention some information about Alan Wilson to Wu Su.

"There are still people like this in the UK?" Wu Su was also surprised. He was completely unprepared before coming.

Alan Wilson separated the others and hid in Queen Nanfang's boudoir to rest. This is normal. Isn't it strange that the Lord of the Hall would talk to the Queen about national affairs?

"Thailand, which is between your two countries, actually does not have a strong military force. Vietnam and Myanmar are the ruthless players in Southeast Asia, but in this era, bravery alone cannot solve all problems. In the final analysis, fighting still depends on the situation.

Where is my level of science and technology?" Alan Wilson extended his claws at Lushan, "Dear Queen, it is really unfathomable that Emperor Bao Da is willing to separate from you."

"Commissioner, we still need to negotiate." Queen Nanfang reluctantly avoided it, not daring to fall out. This Englishman was the highest official of the entire colony, and she was no longer the queen of a country.

"If Emperor Bao Dai made me the prime minister, I might be able to revive Vietnam. It's such a pity." Alan Wilson lamented that he could not fully display his talents as prime minister and could only use a small part of them with Queen Nam Fong.

Think about it, he is such a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Not only does he have the literary talents of Prime Minister Cao, but his second brother is also invincible. That's why the old genius set up so many tests.

"Commissioner, negotiating with the Burmese is the most important thing." Queen Nanfang, who was unable to escape, made her final struggle.

"Seeing is believing, I have already arranged the Burmese people's inspection trip in West Malaysia." Alan Wilson pressed forward step by step, wanting to revisit his old dream and show off his talents as prime minister in front of Queen Nam Fong.

This kind of thing makes perfect sense. Emperor Bao Dai and Queen Nan Fang are no longer together. Alan Wilson felt that a weak woman needs a man to rely on, and she is the only one in Malaya who has this ability, so she is the most suitable candidate.

The Imperial Commissioner sacrificed himself for the friendship between Britain and Vietnam. What a great heart.

Queen Nanfang didn't know what she was feeling, and then Vivien Leigh stayed at the hotel on the golf course. When she saw the two of them swinging on the golf course from a distance, she always recalled the tender moments inadvertently, and couldn't help but secretly hate herself for being shameless.

He also deeply hated Emperor Bao Dai who had subjugated his country, which led to his current fate.

After swinging a golf club, Vivien Leigh, who was a little tired, wore a sun hat to express that she wanted to take a rest, and asked, "So what does Burmese mean? Doesn't it have an intention?"

"No matter how much I waste my words, it will be useless. What I hear is false and what I see is true. Let them see the current situation in West Malaysia for themselves, which is better than anything I can say." Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn't say, and there were some reasons why.

Yes, I have to find time to show off my talents as prime minister in front of Queen Nanfang, but this reason is even more valid.

"Because of the colonial history, the Burmese people must be wary of us, which is very normal. But they are more wary of the two big guys next to them. Compared with China and India, we still have advantages. The British mainland is far away.

On the horizon, those two countries will always be next to Myanmar. Distance creates beauty. The past is important, but reality is even more important."

"That makes sense." Vivien Leigh nodded, picked up two bottles of drinks, opened one, took a sip and handed it to Alan Wilson, "Are you very optimistic about Myanmar?"

"It would be better to say that there is no choice. The United States has been operating in Thailand for a long time. In the same way, the Philippines, Indonesia is the enemy, and South Vietnam is more dangerous, so what else is there to choose? Should India be chosen? Seeing Nehru's world

He looks like a third person, and I can't say anything to give him any advantage."

After drinking the drink with a gulp, Alan Wilson pursed his lips, as if he was savoring the fragrance of British treasure, "It won't take long before Singapore's oil refining center is completed, and there will always be a need for labor as workers, and Ma

The labor force in the Asian colonies is no longer sufficient."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You have been worried about this matter recently." Vivien Leigh persuaded with a sullen face, "There will be a good result."

"You have to move faster. Even in Asia, there are still opponents." Alan Wilson took off his sun hat and took out a cigar. Vivien Leigh quickly took out a lighter and lit it, with a look of attachment on her face.

There are currently two things to do. The first is to carry out industrial transfer before Japan.

Geographically, there is no conflict between the two. Japan's first choice for industrial relocation is South Korea. However, Syngman Rhee will be a big help to Alan Wilson. As long as he is president for a day, the temporary industrial relocation will not start.

During Rhee Syngman's time, Korea only had the lowest-end flour, sugar, and cotton textiles, which developed rapidly, and Korea's first chaebols were born.

During the Rhee Syngman era, the entire South Korea became a market for collusion between government and businessmen and power-for-money transactions. Rhee's election relied on political donations from seven major companies: Tae Chang Textile, Jinsung Textile, Chosun Textile, Dongyang Cement, Dongli Industrial, Capital Industrial, and Central Industries.

, these chaebols were supported by Syngman Rhee's regime, small and medium-sized enterprises closed down one after another, and the unemployment rate soared.

Due to the scissor gap between the prices of agricultural products and industrial products due to U.S. food aid, Korean agriculture also suffered a heavy blow. Severe inflation occurred in the later years of Syngman Rhee's rule.

So there are reasons why Korean stowaways appeared in the Malayan colonies. However, the main destination of most people who escaped from Korea was Japan.

At present, Japan's industrial transfer is not urgent. After all, Japan's population is nearly 100 million and its labor force is much more abundant than that of the Malayan colonies. Therefore, the industrial transfer of Malaya is imperative.

The refining center is about to be completed. This is the basis for Alan Wilson to take the Formosa Plastics route. As the most important port in the Strait of Malacca, Singapore’s location goes without saying. There are a huge number of ships traveling through the Strait of Malacca. The amount of fuel oil required by ships and aircraft is

The varieties are constantly increasing.

At the same time, with the rise of Japan's economy, Japan imports a large amount of energy resources through the Strait of Malacca every year. Singapore, a port city, is located between the crude oil producing areas of West Asia and the oil consumption areas of the East.

In addition to processing different oil products such as gasoline, the planned Singapore Refining Center can also produce gaseous fuels, synthetic gases, petrochemical products, lubricants and asphalt raw materials.

By developing the chemical industry on this basis and completing the planning of the Formosa Plastics route, the Malayan colony has a foundation to stand on and has initially developed an industry that can be used around the world.

When Wu Su led the Myanmar delegation to visit major cities in the West Malaysia Peninsula, the United States' first artificial satellite finally arrived belatedly. For the United States, which was already under heavy pressure and looked at with strange eyes from other countries around the world,

Still an important milestone,

The greatest significance for the United States of the successful launch of the "Explorer 1" satellite is that it re-established the confidence of the United States and proved to the world that the United States' technical capabilities are at least as good as those of the Soviet Union.

During the launch on December 18 last year, major television and radio stations across the United States simultaneously broadcast live the launch of an American satellite using the Pioneer rocket.

In front of the TV sets of viewers across the country, the Pioneer rocket lost contact shortly after takeoff. A week later, the United Kingdom successfully launched from Australia, causing the United States to suffer a double blow.

By 1958, the United States was finally able to proudly join the space club.

However, Washington’s claim that it has the same level of technology as the Soviet Union did not convince American citizens. Many media also stated that the United Kingdom was also ahead of the United States.

Alan Wilson, the hero of the British aerospace industry, has nothing to say. He can even congratulate the United States. In fact, the United States is indeed technologically powerful. Just like McCarthy said after the successful launch of the satellite, "The weight of Explorer 1 is only

It’s about twenty-seven kilograms, but 70% of it is various equipment, with a very high utilization rate. It’s more like a technological product than the iron ball from the Soviet Union that only beeped."
