British civil servant

Alan Wilson is also for the good of these Japanese. Now Japan’s life is not easy, and the Korean War has not broken out. At present, Japan is still in a state of hunger and fullness. As far as Japan’s local resources are not as good as the British What about the Malayan colony?

"It's not impossible." Gerald Edward frowned. In principle, this is not a problem. After the apartment is built, it is meant to be sold. What's the problem with picking a few settlements and selling them to those who need them? "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to recruit enough people."

"Isn't the law of Malaya for the Chinese the Great Qing Law? Directly announce that they will levy corvee, and one out of five will be drawn. The Chinese must understand what it means, and the first batch will be screened out. I will screen the rest!" Allen It is impossible for Wilson to meet 1 people one by one by himself, and the Malayan colonial government must screen them first.

The number of people should not be a problem. Since Xiangjiang returned to British rule in [-], the border has been undefended. Instead, refugees who entered Xiangjiang were thrown into Malaya. Tens of thousands of refugees cross the border every year. Almost three years.

This is far from the peak period, the three major battles have not yet been fought, and the further south the front is, the more people will only increase.

When asking the local Malays their views on the integration of Chinese, Gerald Edward said, "Of course I am not satisfied. It was quite violent at first, but since the Netherlands bombarded Jakarta with battleships, thousands of people have died. After that, it calmed down a bit, and many people were exiled to the Andaman Islands on charges of pro-Soviet elements, and their attitude seems to have changed in the past year."

"According to the lessons of British India, we must maintain the balance between the two major ethnic groups. The emergence of the Congress Party in the province will cause the consequences." Alan Wilson laughed his big teeth, "If a nuclear bomb is developed in China, the test site Let’s put it in Malaya, and invite the respectable people from the two major ethnic groups to observe it for themselves.”

Talking about the situation of Xiangjiang, the two chatted for a while. Alan Wilson said that Xiangjiang is just a window, not worth investing energy in. It can be used to make a pipeline for delivering nutrients to Malaya. The place with big boogers Doesn't help the UK.

The British rule of Xiangjiang is a typical example of making the best use of everything, and its typical manifestations are the overheated financial market and high housing prices.

In the era before the economy developed, the British-funded consortium had an absolute advantage in the fields of finance, real estate and public utilities by virtue of its monopoly position and privileges. With the rise of the economy, the British-funded consortium expanded.

British-funded companies also monopolize the land business as colonial title owners, and sell at high prices to obtain rich land income, which is impossible in the UK anyway.

The most profitable industries in a prosperous economy are finance and real estate, so the two have become the best way for British capital expansion, and the stock market has also entered an irrational prosperity.

But this kind of overheating of the financial industry gives everyone an equal opportunity. In the long run, the Chinese will naturally accumulate enough capital to challenge the status of British-funded enterprises.Of course, in the 90s, with a valuation of 30.00% in the Hong Kong stock market, more than 1000 companies were still controlled by British capital.

Alan Wilson insisted that Hong Kong is not important, and that Malaya should be the focus of development.Gerald Edward also agreed. After all, he is the High Commissioner of Malaya, so he knows where to eat.

"By the way, the people I want to recruit are Chinese, not local Chinese in Malaya." Alan Wilson slapped his head and added, "Compared to some Chinese who already regard themselves as locals in Malaya, I am more Trust the Chinese. What the British Empire needs is help to help colonize Malaya, not the Chinese who are in cahoots with the Malays. When people stand together, we treat them like Malays, they are not afraid of death, so are we afraid of wasting bullets?"

"Okay, I'll make an official announcement tomorrow." Gerald Edward was still thinking about Alan Wilson's words, and instinctively agreed.

The next day, the British Malaya Commissioner's Office officially issued an announcement, citing the provisions of the Qing Dynasty on the collection and collection of corvee. Men who meet the standards should report to the colonial agency, be reprimanded three days late, and fined ten days late.British troops everywhere are doing auxiliary work!

"If I had more time, I would definitely not bring out Daqing Law to frighten them." Alan Wilson smoked half a cigarette, watching the telegrams sent to Gerald Edward from various places, "Don't look at their opposition now, If you really have a house and have accumulated more savings than ordinary people, maybe they will be the ones who will oppose the abolition of the Great Qing law."

"Is it because of how many wives you can marry?" Gerald Edward said with a smile, "It should be for this reason."

"Oh, don't say that, there is only one wife, but there can be many mistresses." Alan Wilson corrected calmly, and then sighed, "Excellent traditions should indeed be carried forward. We will make the Malays How about binding the teaching method? If there is too much opposition, it will be abolished at the same time. Of course, the difficulty may be higher."

Alan Wilson felt that this was a really good idea, so that neither law could be repealed.

He couldn't come to pick Chinese workers one by one. Naturally, he needed to be screened by the colonial agency in Malaya. He would check the rest as much as possible. In the second round of screening, Alan Wilson put forward a condition , age, personality and occupation, it is best to have been a soldier, and those who meet the conditions can be selected to be managers.

Chapter 400 The Lord of the Hall

"However, can the Chinese workers here adapt to the climate in Newfoundland?" Gerald Edward raised another difficulty. Malaya is near the equator, while Newfoundland is near the North Pole. Although it cannot be compared with Alaska, it can be compared to Alaska. For those who grew up here, it was still a huge test.

"So we are talking about recruiting Chinese, not local Chinese." Alan Wilson replied after hearing this, "The assimilation between local Chinese and Malaya must be prevented immediately, preferably with the relationship between the Muslim League and the Congress Party. .It is convenient for us to build influence!"

As for Gerald Edward's question about latitude, Alan Wilson remembers that in his previous life, there was a widespread online saying that the south is wet and cold compared to the north, and it is dry and cold. If the statement is true, it is not a problem.

Even if the cold and damp can't smooth out the [-]-degree temperature difference, there's nothing he can do. As far as the current situation is concerned, Northeast Asia is too dangerous. It's hard to say whether he can come back safely. Agent Alan Wilson, killed by my heroic warriors... embodies the Chinese nation..."

To prove his talent, Alan Wilson is of course willing to make a certain sacrifice, but this sacrifice is a bit too big.

A few days later, Alan Wilson voluntarily served corvée. Representatives of Chinese laborers who met the criteria he listed met for the first time. These people were young, no more than 30 years old at most, and they had served as soldiers before coming to Malaya. .

"Let me introduce myself. You can call me Ai Zhongtang. This is my Chinese name, although I have never been to China." After Alan Wilson came in, he nodded at the dozen or so representatives in front of him and introduced himself, "I am Ying I belong to the Governor of Newfoundland, according to your Chinese habits, you can also call me Mr. Zhongtang. Without further ado, please introduce yourself, so that we can continue the discussion."

Su Yang, Tian Qianqiu... The people who came introduced themselves one by one. Hearing Tian Qianqiu's name, Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. This seems to be the name of a historical celebrity. Minister of the Han Dynasty?

After these representatives finished introducing themselves one by one, Alan Wilson motioned them to sit down before continuing, "I don't know what you think of this recruitment and why you came here."

"I heard that you can get a house if you join the recruitment and exempt from land tax. I don't know if it's true." As soon as the words finished, Su Yang couldn't wait to say.

Alan Wilson nodded and said, "That's right, during your working period, you don't have to pay taxes on the land you reclaim. After the completion of the construction period, you will get a house when you return to Malaya. This is what I discussed with Commissioner Gerald. He also approved."

"I want to know the local environment!" Tian Qianqiu asked about the workplace.

"Mr. Tian is more pragmatic. It should be similar to your North China region." Alan Wilson lied very simply and without any psychological burden. The climate in Newfoundland is definitely not at the level of North China.

But in order to let these people go with him, he had to tell a little white lie at this time, which was not a complete lie. Except for winter, the temperature in the rest of the season was about the same as that in North China, but the winter was a little longer by [-] million little bit.

Because no one understands the Chinese language better than me, the communication between the two sides is effortless. First of all, Alan Wilson has no racial discrimination. After all, he was a Chinese in his previous life, so he would never discriminate against himself.

Moreover, they got along well with these Chinese representatives, and were even willing to sign the contract in advance, guaranteeing the fate of the Malaya Commissioner Gerald Edward.

Fortunately, Gerald Edward is not here, otherwise he would have to argue with the governor of Newfoundland, "Why don't you guarantee it in your own name?"

It's not for any other reason, the key is that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Gerald Edward is the commissioner of Malaya, and his words must be more credible than his unknown governor.

"I don't know what people think of the Malays?" Alan Wilson brought the topic to the issue of ethnic groups. For no particular reason, he wanted to ask the intuitive views of these new immigrants.

"We don't understand them." Tian Qianqiu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his intuitive opinion.

good!With a sigh in his heart, Alan Wilson agreed, "Actually, I don't understand them either, but it seems that I am not a minority. In fact, there is room for everyone to cooperate. You are all Chinese, and you are not a local ethnic group in principle. , it was the colonial government of British Malaya who decided to let you in considering the objective conditions.”

As for the original intention of putting it in, Alan Wilson certainly cannot tell these people clearly, but what he thinks in his heart is to change the proportion of Peranakans and make them a minority.

After all, after living in one place for several generations, it is very likely that we will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.Assimilation is not the monopoly of any nation, and the main nation anywhere will assimilate outsiders to a certain extent.

Coincidentally, the assimilation ability of the ethnic groups who believe in the Peace Sect is particularly high. If Alan Wilson said it bluntly, the assimilation ability of the Peace Sect members far exceeds that of the Han people.

If you don’t believe me, let’s calculate the expansion speed of the Peace Sect in the agricultural era and compare it with the expansion speed of the Confucian culture in the agricultural era since the appearance of the Peace Sect in the park in 600 years.No matter in terms of population or land, the Peace Sect is the dominant party.

Not to mention other places, just the British Malaya at the foot of Allen Wilson, where the mainstream belief is the Peace Church.

The influence of Chinese culture in Southeast Asia is limited to half of Vietnam, and it cannot be compared with Hinduism, let alone the more influential Peace Sect?

He is sure that in a place where there is no foundation, in terms of assimilation ability, the Chinese will definitely lose to the peace believers.

From the British point of view, Peranakans are no longer credible. These new Chinese immigrants have not yet thought of themselves as native Malayans. Therefore, Alan Wilson’s idea of ​​opening up immigration is essentially to let the Chinese The new immigrants became the mainstream, and the Peranakans, who felt that they were malicious and peaceful with the Malays, were sidelined.

Then supplemented with education from an early age to ensure that these Chinese will not repeat the same mistakes as the original Peranakan Chinese.

"If I manage British Malaya, I will definitely give the Chinese people fair treatment, including complete Chinese education." Alan Wilson talked about the friendship between Britain and China in the two world wars. Not that he wanted to mention it, but except There seemed to be no time when the two wars were on a common ground.

Don't think that his current guarantees seem to be justified, and an independent Malaysia will never be able to do so.

Learning and speaking Chinese in Malaysia is not an easy task, and it is thankless.Because firstly, the government will not subsidize Chinese schools; secondly, even though the diplomas of Chinese schools are recognized in other countries around the world, they are not recognized in Malaysia.

Those who study in Chinese schools are not eligible to enter Malaysia's local national public universities.

Therefore, these public universities have "racial discrimination" in Malaysia to some extent. Every year, 70.00% of the admission quota for new students is allocated to Malays. It is almost impossible for students who graduated from Chinese schools to study in local public universities. Most students can only study in foreign institutions, or some local private universities.

Even though the reality is so cruel, the Chinese in Malaysia still insist on sending their children to Chinese schools, learning Chinese and speaking their own dialect.In terms of education, general national universities implement a racial quota system based on the interests of Malays. The proportion of Malays admitted is very high, and professional fields such as medicine, engineering, law, pharmacy and biotechnology are allocated to Malay.

Even if Chinese students have excellent grades, they may not be able to successfully enter the ideal university, and most of the government's overseas study scholarships are awarded to Malays; in terms of housing, Malays have low-cost affordable housing to buy, but Chinese do not.

If this is the situation of the Chinese after Malaysia’s independence, Alan Wilson thinks it’s better not to be independent. At least the Chinese and Malays are equal if they are not independent. Many Malays.

Because the official words were clearer than these Chinese representatives, Alan Wilson finally succeeded in deceiving the feelings of these representatives. Of course, he verbally promised, including but not limited to, education guarantees, housing guarantees, and property protection guarantees.

He even took the initiative to mention that on such a beautiful day today, how about killing a few Japanese prisoners of war to add to the fun?

"To be able to see Mr. Zhongtang today, and to get these guarantees, we feel more at ease." An hour later, Alan Wilson was surrounded by a dozen elders, and he came out of the commissioner's office, enjoying himself happily.

"It's still early today, so let's eat and chat if we don't find a place." Alan Wilson said that he wanted to drink as he did in the Romans. "Let me tell you, when we get to the place, as the governor, I will definitely guarantee your legal rights and interests. We eat and live together, enjoy the same blessings and share the same hardships. This is not a problem."

"With Lord Zhongtang's words, we still have nothing to worry about." Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang patted their chests, "The sentence that Master Zhongtang said, no matter how poor you are, can't be poor education, it really speaks to my heart I have gone. It would be great if I were the governor of Malaya. I don’t think your prime minister is very discerning, so you should be the governor of Malaya.”

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Alan Wilson waved his hand to remind Shen Yan, and then said with a gesture, "I hope that one day, it can benefit the people of British Malaya."

A group of people walked out of the commissioner's office shoulder to shoulder and fell into the eyes of British Malaya Commissioner Gerald Edward. Although he should be happy about this, why does he always feel that something is wrong?

Chapter 4 and One Mountbatten Scheme

For those who will be working from Newfoundland in their own hands for the next year, Alan Wilson can be said to be very courteous.And the thoughts in the hearts of the Chinese people, to be honest, he can't hide it from him.

In Alan Wilson's heart, it is indeed sincere hope that from this cooperation, a group of future pillars of British Malaya will be selected and a cooperative relationship will be established.The combination of interests is stronger than any fetters.

Alan Wilson said that it is best to find a group of people with massage skills to accompany them. The local conditions are relatively poor and they must be self-sufficient. If they can carry some seeds, they can also help the workers in summer.

"Do you want a bone-setting doctor? Let's inquire everywhere!" Su Yang nodded solemnly, "Master Zhongtang can not hide the local situation. Our brothers are very grateful. I, Su Yang, respect Master Zhongtang."

"It's nothing. Newfoundland will need your help in the next year." Alan Wilson raised his glass without any refusal, "Although I'm not in Malaya, the things here can still be discussed. My father-in-law is the uncle of the current Crown Prince...according to your words, he is called Uncle Guo."

Pretending to be a family member of the royal family, of course conceals the fact that the crown prince of the British Empire is actually a woman.Although Britain is not worth mentioning compared with China in terms of human relations, it is easier to understand from a Chinese perspective.

Sure enough, such a fleeting disclosure, the men including Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang were all in awe, and seemed to understand why Alan Wilson had already become Lord Zhongtang at such an age, and this makes sense .

The governor of a place, such a virtuous corporal, drank with ordinary people like them without any scruples, which made everyone look very proud.

"I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the coming year and get what we need." Alan Wilson took the initiative to raise his glass at the end, and then said that he was too strong to drink, and he could still eat some food, but the wine was really undrinkable.

After eating and drinking, he returned to the commissioner's office. Malaya commissioner Gerald Edward saw the governor of Newfoundland, who smelled of alcohol, coming back, "Allen, you don't seem to feel strange at all."

Well!Alan Wilson burped and said, "What's strange, the Chinese food here is very authentic. Ask them to bring more wine when they leave. The weather in Newfoundland really needs some wine to keep out the cold. In this regard, the Soviets It's an expert."

This is drunk?Gerald Edward smiled helplessly, "I think you can get along well with these Chinese."

"In any respect, general topics are fine." Alan Wilson sat down in a zombie-like posture, and said without concealing, "In fact, these Chinese are not difficult to deal with. Of course, this is just my personal perception. As long as Once you understand their needs, it’s easy to deal with them.”

"Oh, is it?" Gerald Edward's intuitive feeling is that he doesn't feel pain in his back when he stands and talks, "but among some people, the desire for independence is very high. Although the situation has been stable in the past year, who knows if it is true? Hidden."

"Some things can be explained more clearly. Let them realize the fact that Malaya is like Japan. Unless the US military withdraws from Japan one day, Malaya will never think about independence." Alan Wilson said with a smile, " In fact, some words are more hurtful, but the overseas civil servants are not prepared to make Malaya independent, and are willing to pay some price for it. When such a day comes, it will be divided and ruled compared with the British India model. Of course, since It is definitely not so fair to divide and rule the border, for example, it is normal to allocate most of the cities to the Malays, after all, the Malays are locals.”

"And I remember that the Malays claim that only they are locals, whether Britain, China or India are foreign powers. It is very simple. When the day comes, we leave and support the views of the Malays. Either support us to colonize Malays. Come to Asia, or leave with the British, there is no third way to choose."

"Of course, what we overseas civil servants hope most is that everyone will live in peace. If there is a falling out, it is not good for everyone. It is true that we in the UK are uncomfortable, but they all have to die."

"Speaking of this issue, it seems that the Dutch nationals are evacuating Java Island and migrating to Kalimantan Island. And they are negotiating with Australia on the New Guinea issue, and they seem to be preparing for partition."

After hearing Alan Wilson mention the issue of partition, Gerald Edward thought of the changes in the Dutch.

"Well, I know about this. In fact, this record is good. If it is France or Portugal, we can be more at ease." Alan Wilson nodded, "The French and Portuguese are more reassuring on the colonial issue. With this With two countries ahead, we have much less pressure."

The French are more stubborn. France should have understood in Vietnam that after the awakening of nationalism, the colonial policy would no longer work, but they did not grant freedom, equality, and fraternity to the Algerians.

Instead of pacifying the Algerians, giving them the status of French citizens, and giving them independence, they intensified the squeeze to heal the wounds of World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War.

If France can back down a little, a French-Algerian confederation that is closer than the Commonwealth is likely enough to completely overwhelm Britain and Germany to become the leader of Europe, and Europe will move towards unity under the leadership of France, not France and Germany. There are endless disputes over power, and they will be disturbed by Britain, whose national strength is no longer sufficient.

But on the issue of colonies, the Portuguese are the most credible, and they did not let go of the colonies until the revolution broke out in the country.

The Netherlands began to prepare for the partition secretly. Not only did Alan Wilson know, but he planned it from the perspective of the Dutch. What is the Dutch-Indian Federation?What is that thing, even if it is really established, what is the point?

"According to our agreement with the French, we will fully support the French rule in Vietnam." Gerald Edward nodded, and he could also see that the French's military operations in Vietnam were serious.

After the war, Britain negotiated with France, and France supported Britain's restoration of other colonies in Asia, and Britain withdrew from southern Vietnam, giving Vietnam to France for management.

"I can see that the French are serious, but the French mainland is too far away. The trend of the war has to be linked to Vietnam's northern neighbor." Alan Wilson chatted for a while, and the wine tended to sober up, "If the United States The idiot who supported it was defeated, and it was useless for France to persist in Vietnam. I have no suggestions. Before leaving, blow up all modern facilities, including power plants, railways, and ports.”

This is also the attitude of the French in Africa in the future, but the things in Vietnam were taken over by the United States in the later stage, so France doesn't have to be so desperate.

The French are still a little too rigid. If Alan Wilson is replaced, the forced assimilation of the Ming Dynasty will be directly moved out.In fact, it is more accurate to summarize it with shaving hair and changing clothes. In fact, when the Ming Dynasty occupied Vietnam, it probably implemented this policy, starting with forced assimilation from the clothes.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty is not famous for doing this is much simpler. It is easy to scold others, but it takes courage to scold yourself.

But as a Briton, Alan Wilson will faithfully write this kind of thing into the history books, at least from the perspective of provoking relations between Vietnam and its northern neighbors.

But then again, is that kind of relationship still provoked by Alan Wilson?Falling out is a matter of time.Which country negotiated with the French at the Geneva Conference, and finally the partition of the North and the South was negotiated and accepted by North Vietnam?What do you think you are Vietnamese?

Anyway, Britain did something similar once in history, and it ended up in history as the Munich Conspiracy.

Anyway, Allen Wilson tried his best to convince Gerald Edward that his idea was absolutely correct. If he didn’t believe it, he would wait for the partition of India and Pakistan. “Once there is a civil war between India and Pakistan, don’t block the news. People know it. It died 50, and we said 100 million in the newspapers. Anyway, the statistics in India are just for fun, and we may double the number to get the real number.”

"But some leaders who pursue independence have gone to Java, and we can't send troops to fight them." Gerald Edward said embarrassingly, "It is difficult for us to catch these people in Malaya, let alone go to Java."

"This can only be done by means that are not on the stage." Alan Wilson started his own mind, and finally revealed nothing to Gerald Edward.

He wants to talk to Mikhailovich in Northern Rhodesia, playing ethnic cleansing with the telegram he helped?Now both of them are grasshoppers on the same rope. It is not too much for him to ask these Yugoslavs to send some help.

At this time, Lord Radcliffe, the most important lawyer in history so far, had set off from London. Before Lord Radcliffe set off, Governor Mountbatten officially announced the partition plan, establishing the principle of British India's independence. Partition.

Nehru and Ali Jinnah got the news at the same time, but in fact Ali Jinnah had already prepared for this.The Muslim League headed by Jinnah naturally agrees with the partition of India and Pakistan and the establishment of an independent Pakistan.In fact, this is also the goal of Jinnah's lifelong struggle.

But Nehru is different. In Nehru's view, the division of the country is a disaster.Mountbatten believed that India had to bear this price in order to gain independence.He also believes that unification may not be good, and the reality of fierce conflicts between Hindus and peaceful believers cannot achieve this. India and Pakistan can go their own way and live their own lives.

"Jinnah does not agree to be in the same country with Hindus. What does Mr. Nehru want me to do? Tell London to mobilize the country, suppress the Muslim League, and then hand it over to the Congress Party?" General Mountbatten said indifferently Looking at Nehru, he said, "Do you think this is realistic?"

Chapter 4 The Trip to the United States

Mountbatten stated very bluntly that the partition of India and Pakistan is already imperative, and it cannot be changed to this point.Nehru and other Congress Party leaders, after repeated consultations, finally agreed to the basic part of the Mountbatten plan, and the rest is how to deal with the future of hundreds of large and small Indian princes and states.

Under Nehru's insistence, Mountbatten expressed his willingness to come forward to persuade the state, but in fact, he was not prepared to do so.

The partition of India and Pakistan has finally started after two years of repeated repetitions, and history is about to open a new page.

And Alan Wilson in British Malaya, of course, also heard the news, but he didn't have any special thoughts in his heart. The only expectation now is when India and Pakistan will fight because of Kashmir.

Of course he still wasn't idle, as Pamela Mountbatten and a few friends traveled all the way to Kuala Lumpur.
