British civil servant

But just like similar complaints, other commanders of the same level are indeed too old, and General Mountbatten is indeed very young. It is indeed inappropriate to directly override others as the second in command of the navy.

"If there is any problem, just say it and see if I can solve it." Alan Wilson said.

"The logistical problem is huge, and my father said the gap is not small." Pamela Mountbatten repeated the complaints of General Mountbatten himself.

After taking office at the Admiralty, Mountbatten was amazed at how bad the logistics were. The 15 naval reservists should be there on call, but the navy has only enough uniforms and equipment for 4 in its warehouses.There is no stockpile, and there are no plans to do so; there is not even enough minesweeping equipment to equip the existing minesweepers.

"Military uniforms? Tableware? Tents? Towels? These things are so simple. If the general orders as the Sea Lord, I can order them to be manufactured soon, but mine clearance equipment can only be found at home."

Alan Wilson pondered for a while, "Many things are very simple, nothing more than a matter of cost. The cost of manufacturing and shipping in Malaya will not be high, so it can be regarded as a training."

"Honey, can you solve it?" Pamela Mountbatten hugged her fiancé's arm, causing Lieutenant General Bilton to cough, reminding young people that although it is not incomprehensible, they should also pay attention to the occasion.

"No problem!" Alan Wilson continued the topic discussed with the garrison commander before, "Before I took office, the ships carrying nuclear weapons had already left the port. After all, they were dangerous goods and they were not transported by air. I guess it will happen in a few days." When I arrived, two days ago, because of India’s assertion of sovereignty over the Andaman Islands, I even thought about placing the hegemonic nuclear test site on the Andaman Islands. But after careful consideration, I gave up this idea. After all, the current threat to the stability of Malaya, It is a newly independent Indonesia, in order to be more symbolic, I request the general to invite military representatives from the nearby French, Dutch and Portuguese colonies to visit to show unity."

"As for myself, I invite the MCA, the Malayan National Congress and the nine sultans to observe. Be deterred!"

Chapter 538 Queen Pamela

Lieutenant General Bilton nodded, thinking that from the perspective of maintaining the unity of European countries, this can be said to be very thoughtful.

As for inviting the leaders of the major forces in Malaya, it is from the perspective of deterrence, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Currently around Malaya, there are France in South Vietnam, the Dutch in Kalimantan, and the Portuguese in Timor.What's more, the Australians who have always been concerned about the local situation, the significance of this nuclear bomb has a huge encouraging effect on the current European colonial countries.

Therefore, Alan Wilson is determined to put Britain's first nuclear test in British Malaya and conduct a nuclear test at sea.As for the Egyptian desert, if there is time, more powerful nuclear fusion tests can be placed in Egypt in the future.

As the commander of the garrison in British Malaya, Lieutenant General Bilton is considered a high-ranking and powerful general. If General Mountbatten's signboard was not too loud, Alan Wilson would not have spoken so easily in front of the opponent.

After the other party left the office and returned to the headquarters, Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude to Pamela Mountbatten. He helped his fiancée relieve his fatigue with bone-setting skills, and said, "If you hadn't arrived, I wouldn't have such a big brother." Courage to say that in front of a lieutenant general."

"It's nothing. In fact, many soldiers are reasonable people." Pamela Mountbatten lay down directly and let the man do his best.

Reasonable?According to Alan Wilson, who should be divided?Pamela Mountbatten asked at this time, "Honey, it's been a few days, do you have any clues?"

"When I first arrived here, I only threatened the forces of all parties. Let them understand in a reasonable way that it is good for the British Empire to keep them. If we leave, Malaya will inevitably break out of war. In fact, from India Since then, we have been planning to bring about the conditions for the outbreak of war."

Alan Wilson paused and continued, "The Chinese ethnic group is now divided into three parts, the Straits Chinese, the traditional Chinese and the new immigrants. The Straits Chinese are very loyal to the British Empire. If they have enough numbers, they are actually the most suitable for relying on. But the Straits Chinese are in The original Chinese group is not a majority. The traditional Chinese group has many problems. Some problems are very persistent, but they are not firm. If something happens at a critical moment, it is difficult to rely on them. The largest number is the new immigrants, which is I'm focusing on the winning part."

The Chinese in the Straits are those near Singapore. The main thinking is that they think they are subjects of the British Empire, and they are not willing to let the British leave. However, the Chinese in the Straits have feelings for the land under their feet, and they understand that once the British If they leave, the Chinese will be excluded.

In fact, the traditional Chinese don't have much affection for the land under their feet, and they don't think they are Malayans from the beginning to the end.This is exactly the mentality he hopes to appear, but the traditional Chinese community is not enthusiastic about fighting for power and profit, at least far less enthusiastic than the Strait Chinese.

Traditional Chinese are in the majority, while Strait Chinese are in the minority. The thinking of the two groups is very different. Alan Wilson hopes that the two groups will combine, and eventually they can only give up.Retrain newly immigrated Chinese.

He hopes that the Chinese, who are half of the population of Malaya, will be like the loyalty of the Straits Chinese to the British Empire, while maintaining the guest mentality like the traditional Chinese, so that it will be easier to establish a cooperative relationship.

We are all outsiders, there is no need to pretend to be a loving family, just talk about cooperation.

Mountbatten was directly dazzled by the vocabulary of the straits, traditions and new immigrants, and asked in confusion, "Divided into three parts?"

"What's so strange, the Irish have been ruled for hundreds of years, and they are not independent?" Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "Actually, I have a little admiration for the Chinese, or the Chinese, they know How to deal with the rebels, the premise is enough, I can’t imagine that the Irish can still maintain the Catholic tradition after being ruled by China for hundreds of years. Compared with the Chinese, we British are still too kind.”

"What should I do next? There seems to be something missing!" Pamela Mountbatten knew her fiancé very well, was good at making friends with others, and was even better at creating hidden dangers.

"That's right, so I decided to admit my mistake to the Malays and officially recognize the identity of the Malays as aborigines, while at the same time fixing the status of Indians and Chinese as outsiders."

Allen Wilson said with a smile, "As for education, the Chinese in West Malaysia adopt Chinese education, the Malays adopt Malay language education, and both Chinese and Malays in East Malaysia adopt English education, and the Straits region also adopts English education, because The population of West Malaysia is far greater than that of East Malaysia, which is conducive to balance. If the day comes when we are untenable and directly divide Malaya, East and West Malaysia must be separated from the Straits Settlements. I have not yet figured out the ownership of the Kra Isthmus .”

"I think Zhenyuan!" The corners of Pamela Mountbatten's lips curled up slightly, and she got up and kissed her fiancé.

"You just take this test commissioner? Which commissioner can't stand such a test?" Alan Wilson went ahead and expressed his contempt for this kind of test, "stick out your tongue..."

It took a while before Alan Wilson let go of his fiancee, who was blushing, and asked about Pamela Mountbatten's recent schedule, and of course he got an all-knowing answer.

Pamela Mountbatten is still going to Australia to discuss with the Australian government about the export of iron ore.

Australia prohibits the export of iron ore in principle, but the British Empire has a preferential system. As loyal ministers and filial sons of the British Empire, Australians really do not necessarily refuse.

"Honey, Australia is very worth cultivating. I hope you and the nobles behind you can understand this. Have you heard of the plate drift hypothesis?" Alan Wilson took the teacup, saw his fiancée shaking his head, and went further Said, "Analyzing the soil of Australia, the history of this isolated continent should be far more than that of other continents, and even the loss of soil nutrients on the surface is extremely serious."

"But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The long-term wind has led to poor agricultural conditions, but it can be a positive for the mining industry. The value of Australia is not just an iron mine, there should be other minerals. And the quality of any minerals very high."

Even if it is just the Australian iron ore, it can make the whole of Australia eat forever.The real reserves of iron ore in Australia are more than 200 billion tons. It is very rare for iron ore of the same quality to exceed one billion tons, let alone a reserve of 200 billion tons.

Not to mention anything else, Mysore iron ore is an absolute bonanza, and its reserves are definitely less than one billion tons.

The reserves of 200 billion tons still only calculate the reserves of 70.00% quality, which is similar to the 30.00% quality iron ore, which has not been counted at all.

In addition to bauxite and iron ore, Australia is also rich in mineral resources such as bituminous coal, lignite, lead, nickel, silver, gold, zinc, uranium, natural gas, and petroleum.As expected of a country sitting on a mine cart, the ceiling of a resource country exists.

These are all waiting for Pamela Mountbatten to discover, and Alan Wilson wants to encourage the behavior of his fiancée.

It is not such an unfamiliar field for the British. Not to mention anything else, the current guano in Nauru is mined by the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and they have been mined for decades.

From this point of view, Alan Wilson deserved the reward of a Rolls-Royce Silver Soul.

Because of the arrival of the commissioner's wife, the desire of the British High Commissioner of Malaya to have nowhere to rest finally subsided a little.As the recognized leader of the aristocracy of the British Empire, Pamela Mountbatten also asked her fiancé if she needed help from herself. Does Malaya need any help?

"Not yet, but maybe soon. I would be very grateful if Australia's iron ore export ban could be opened. Although there is no need for a large-scale steel industry to attract employment, Malaya Build a steel factory of the right size as well."

Pamela Mountbatten nodded and said, "I see, I mentioned this matter to the Australian government under the framework of the Imperial Preference System, and I don't need to think too much about exporting iron ore from Malaya."

"At that time, I will widely publicize your achievements in Malaya. By the way, when will Brook give you the throne?" Alan Wilson frowned and said, "He won't go back on his word, right? Although for you Saying that £50 is not such a heart-wrenching figure, it cannot be deceived in vain."

"Honey, Mr. Brooke and I have been to the Colonial Department. Under the witness of your colleagues, Mr. Brooke has given me the throne of the Kingdom of Sarawak in a reasonable way." Pamela Mountbatten said about this She couldn't hide her smile, "Now I'm the queen of Sarawak. However, a monarch that no one in the colony recognizes can't do anything. I want to develop my career more and get the support of major families, so maybe I can be sealed. I am a hereditary earl or something. In this way, when our child is born, he can also have the title of hereditary nobleman."

"If you are a countess? Can our children inherit the title?" Alan Wilson looked puzzled, as if he couldn't.

"Honey, you forgot that my sister can inherit the title." Pamela Mountbatten reminded her fiancé.

"That's not because your family itself is a royal family, er, pretend I didn't say it." Alan Wilson bowed his head decisively, and things like rules are completely divided into whoever they are. His Majesty the King even opened a back door for Pamela Mountbatten's sister. Can inherit the title.Who said you can't open the back door again in the future?

"It's good to know!" Pamela Mountbatten was proud, "I will give you an excellent heir to inherit your power and my wealth. This kind of life will have no regrets."

"Maybe I can't understand what is the regret of your superior background and huge wealth." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and pulled his fiancée's face.

Finally, it took half a month for Allen Wilson to receive the leaders of the big and small forces, and had a clear understanding of Malaya's current pillar industries, so he began to release his own governance plan.

But before that, he was the first to issue an executive order, recognizing the identity of the aborigines of the Malays, and classified the Chinese, Indians, and the British into the category of outsiders.

A very old way of dividing and conquering, but it doesn't matter, as long as it works!Alan Wilson expressed his goodwill to the Malays, but at the same time announced the cold figures. At present, the Malays only account for 30.00% of the total population of Malaya[-].

Chapter 539 Electrification

It is essential that this responsibility should be passed on to Gerald Edward, the former High Commissioner of British Malaya. Anyway, Gerrard has returned to Europe. He should bravely take responsibility for the long-term stability of the British Empire. Anyway, it is not a loss. What, it is also possible to continue to be the commissioner in Germany.

And Alan Wilson's current personality is to clean up the mess left by his predecessor. Although this mess is the credit of all the top Whitehall officials and has been approved by the cabinet, the local residents of British Malaya don't know it.

The current problem is simple, the Malays as aboriginal residents are a minority, the new commissioner who just took office found out this situation and expressed his apology for this situation.

In the newspapers controlled by the United Kingdom, Gerald, the former commissioner in the mouth of Alan Wilson, became a bad guy.

Out of the care of the allies in the World War, some immigrants were accepted, but the post-war reconstruction work was very hard, which eventually led to an unmanageable end.

It's not that I am incompetent, but that the Chinese are too cunning. If Alan Wilson hadn't taken office, the Chinese would continue to pour in.

In fact, the reason for not influx is only because the civil war is over. Of course, there is no need for Malays to know such deep-seated reasons, even if they are local aborigines.

In the newspaper, Alan Wilson, in the name of the new commissioner, shirked the responsibility, shirked it on the Chinese, and shirked it on the predecessor. Anyway, he just took office and has absolutely no responsibility.

But even if there is no responsibility, as the current chief executive of British Malaya, Alan Wilson still publicly expressed his apology, even if he has no intention of owed.

"The Administrative Office of Malaya is already considering making up for the release, but Malaya has its own national conditions, and the difficulty of repatriation is quite high. Therefore, after research, in order to avoid the tragedy of the Partition of India, the current situation is to stabilize the local situation. Administrative The Office recognizes the rights and interests of the Malays in British Malaya and will focus on protecting the interests of the aborigines."

"At the same time, Indians and Chinese are given the status of overseas citizens of the British Empire. After necessary communication, the Indian government refuses Indian residents to return to China. India is independent. We can't call them. The problem of Chinese is even more complicated."

In the public appeal on the second day, the issue of the Chinese was mainly mentioned, and the business field was opened to allow the Chinese to operate freely. Chinese and Indians have an advantage in numbers, but the interests of Malays must be respected.

"The Civil Administration will not just sit back and watch outsiders turn to customers. I hope the MCA and the Malayan National Congress can understand this. Especially the Indian residents. It is now [-], India has become independent, and India and the British Empire are no longer The relations of the suzerain, formerly the special favor of the crown jewel of the British Empire, will be terminated."

Things have come to this point, although the Malays are natives, they have become a minority of residents.Allen Wilson just issued a mild apology for this foregone conclusion, as a consolation, as for the Malay open letter published in the newspaper, it is more to remind the Malays that you are a minority.

"After retreating from Japan, these Malays swelled up, always making trouble with the colonial government. Now it's time to stop." Alan Wilson, who was holding his fiancée in his arms, was full of spirits, looking like he was crazy.

"Are the Chinese reliable?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, frowning, "Will there be hidden dangers?"

"The current main purpose is to maintain the stability of Malaya in the near future. Don't think too long ago." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "The first generation of Chinese immigrants, considering that their country is left to them There are too many sufferings in the memory, and the mentality of seeking stability is the mainstream, and it is difficult for the first-generation Chinese immigrants to get rid of the rural complex, and the hidden danger should appear in the second-generation immigrants.”

"So I start with education, try to let Chinese children have a guest mentality from an early age, and don't think of themselves as locals. And I also need to start from this aspect in future public opinion. But this is not enough, there is nothing Just let it go, so the local economic construction must catch up, and if there are pots and pans, it will take courage to make trouble."

Anyway, it can be summed up in three points: force deterrence, cultural suppression, and economic development. Among them, economic development is the most important.

"But having said that, the nuclear bomb is going too slowly, just passing the Arabian Sea." Alan Wilson turned to complain that the sea transportation was still too slow. He is such a person who rejects planes, and he started to take planes to save time for the British Empire.

"Speaking of this issue, I will discuss with Mr. de Havilland and reserve a special plane for you. Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy. Although you said that the resistance is weakening, this is a colony after all." Pamela Mountbatten did not come on a whim, but already had this kind of plan, "Usually this special plane is placed in Western Australia, and it will come to pick you up when you need it."

"Okay, honey." Alan Wilson knew that his fiancée meant well, so he declined at this time because he was just looking for trouble, "By the way, it's a coincidence to go and see the shame of the crocodile, I put them all in Sarawak in the river."

The rivers placed in East Malaysia are entirely due to the relatively small local population. The main part of British Malaya is the Malay Peninsula, not Kalimantan Island, which was divided from the Netherlands. No matter the degree of land fertility and the proportion of the population are in this way.

The islands that are really isolated in the ocean rarely have fertile land, but they are Australia with different degrees of severity.But the Malay Peninsula is different, which is part of Eurasia.

Whether the land is fertile or not is nothing more than a few conditions, the movement of glaciers, the outbreak of fire and the fact that it is part of a wide continent.Australia is very sad. There is no glacial movement at all, and the volcanic eruptions are all on the nearby islands. Australia is extremely stable, and it has been continuously baptized by sea breeze with salt for hundreds of millions of years.

Don't think that the sea breeze doesn't have such a big effect. If you go to the plateau alone for a month, do you see that your skin is still the same as before?

"Honey, can you see the future?" Pamela Mountbatten suddenly paused after hugging her fiancé's neck and kissing twice, "Are you taking advantage of work to accompany me?"

"Uh, yes or no!" Alan Wilson tilted his head and said, "It depends on how you look at the problem. From a macro perspective, public affairs and private affairs have the same goal, which can be regarded as one thing. Let's go to East Malaysia to do it. Private matter, but at the same time won't you go and see your kingdom?"

"Ah?" Pamela Mountbatten gave an expression that I understand, "So what is your main purpose?"

"Inspecting the local power resources, there must be a basis for the development of electrified Malaya. Because of the geographical environment, Malaya's power grid must be divided into two parts, which cannot be changed by anyone." Alan Wilson Speaking of this, he glanced at Pamela Mountbatten, "You don't want to see your kingdom in a wild state, do you?"

Regarding the development time of the electrification of British Malaya, it is announced that it is a ten-year development plan.However, Alan Wilson only gave five years in the internal meeting of the Civil Administration.

You must know that the Soviet Union used two five-year plans in [-] to achieve electrification.But he only gave it five years, and it was implemented simultaneously with the development of the textile industry. It can be said that there is no room for it.

In the final analysis, the per capita resources are the resources. Of course, the per capita resources of the Soviet Union are also very rich, but the Soviet Union in [-] was worse than the power base of Malaya in [-].

Of course, this is also due to the 60 prisoners of war detained by British Malaya. At least three power plants in West Malaysia were built by these prisoners of war. The British Malaya Administrative Office only needs to come up with a plan.

The former commissioner, Gerald Edward, didn't do nothing. It's just that the British Empire now needs him to take the blame, and he has already returned to Europe and doesn't care, so he shirks the responsibility for the influx of Chinese on him.

Of course, the electrification of British Malaya only covers 20.00% of the population. If the population of Malaya had not increased by [-] times in just five years, Gerald Edward can even be said to have completed more than half of it. Electrification is not weaker than postwar Japan.

But the population is no longer 400 million, it has indeed become 1000 million, then the remaining 70.00% of the five will be completed by Allen Wilson. Without a good foundation, no industry can be established.

Regarding the establishment of the power grid, Alan Wilson remembers that East Malaysia actually has more resources than West Malaysia, and with a smaller population than West Malaysia, it is estimated that it will enter electrification earlier than West Malaysia.

It's just that there are financial problems now, and he can't move the rubber and tin mine income he handed over to London.So at the beginning, he definitely had to raise the money himself, but he didn't plan to ask Pamela Mountbatten for it. It is said that the financial company affiliated with Newfoundland should help him sell his shares in the US stock market, except for steel stocks.

Just before the nuclear bomb and the money arrived, he accompanied his fiancée to East Malaysia.Both the baiji dolphin and the alligator are placed in a tributary of the Baran River, and there is an interception net at the intersection of the main stream.Of course, before this, he had specifically inquired whether there were Malayan crocodiles in this river.Otherwise, after putting it in with great difficulty, it would become food for the local crocodiles, which is not acceptable.

After issuing a survey electrification notice, he accompanied his fiancée...and Princess Margaret who appeared unexpectedly.

"The princess seems to have a good relationship with you recently. The princesses of the British Empire always run away. Isn't this appropriate? It's very immodest." Sitting on the boat, Alan Wilson asked Pamela Mountbatten in a low voice.

"That's the baiji dolphin!" Princess Margaret suddenly pointed to a white dorsal fin not far away. Alan Wilson stood up directly, and walked to the edge of the fence with Pamela Mountbatten, looking at the white dorsal fin. Back view, one big and two small.

"Margaret can still bring good luck." Pamela Mountbatten poked at her fiancé, but there was no response. She glanced in astonishment, but saw liquid falling from the man's tear trough.

This discovery frightened Pamela Mountbatten. She had never seen her fiancé like this before, and she dared not say a word.

When the baiji dolphin disappeared into the water, Alan Wilson rolled his eyelids, squeezed out his tears, and sat back to the position just now with a blank expression, continuing to talk about how to govern in Malaya as if nothing had happened.

"You just scared me!" Pamela Mountbatten looked away from the huge baiji sign beside the river bank, "It's the first time I've seen you like an animal."

"Oh, that's right!" Alan Wilson neither admitted nor denied that the Baiji dolphin was extinct in the time he lived in his previous life. It is naturally difficult to calm down when seeing this creature. Although he has not shown his emotions for a long time, he still does not get it under control.

5 Chapter [-] Sarawak Palace

In fact, Alan Wilson didn't know why he shed a tear just now, maybe he remembered the documentary about the baiji dolphin. After all, it was an extinct animal in the era he had experienced, so it was hard for him to remain indifferent.

But immediately, he recovered and suppressed the rare discovery of conscience. If he really had a conscience, he would not come to a colony to take up a post, laying mines while building.

In response to Pamela Mountbatten's gentle questioning, Alan Wilson categorically denied that he was soft-hearted, and blurted out, "If I were the Prime Minister of the British Empire, I would put the nuclear test site directly in the center of Kuala Lumpur instead of a small island , do you know if I am moral or not?"

"Just kidding again." Pamela Mountbatten instinctively felt that this was an angry statement, and then met her fiancé's extremely serious eyes, and swallowed involuntarily, "Don't talk like that, it's scary."

"So I'm just telling you, in public, I still need to show a gentleman's demeanor to appease the Malays and the Chinese. Shirk responsibility and act like a gentleman." Alan Wilson said with a smile on his face. , "Who let the United States and the Soviet Union exist now? What can I do? The United Kingdom is an island country with a population of 5000 million. If you don't show sincerity, how can you keep such a large vested interest and let go of independence? Dear, you say it yourself, When you go to India this time, do you receive the same treatment as you did when you went to British India?"

"We all understand in our hearts that our country, as a colonist, will not be thanked for its good deeds, and will be remembered forever for its bad deeds. Did India exist before we went to South Asia? Why did the Dutch give the entire East Indies to Indonesia? What are the consequences of letting these colonies become independent? They have territorial disputes with neighboring countries and blame us. It was a colony at the time, what is wrong with opening up colonies, and they are independent. Don’t thank us. Now there are territorial disputes and blame us. Why don’t you let the disputed land be so generous? To neighboring countries?"

"Many colonies don't have a colonial history, so of course it's just as if nothing had happened." Pamela Mountbatten comforted gently, "And we are indeed a colonial empire, there's no way around that."

"So we should learn more when we come into contact with eastern countries, and kill all the rebels. We don't have to face today's predicament, occupying Ireland for 800 years, and we can't even solve a religious issue."

After being forced, Alan Wilson's mood improved a lot, and life still had to continue.

It must be said that it may be that Princess Margaret was really lucky. In a depression, the princess with a telescope saw the alligator again, and made a fuss, "I have seen many crocodiles, and they are very scary, but this kind of crocodile The crocodile's eyes are so interesting, and they look cute."
