British civil servant

The comet airliner landed slowly in Kuala Lumpur, and the figure of Alan Wilson appeared at the airport. Officials from all over Malaya were already waiting, waiting for the return of the commissioner, how to solve this problem.

"Calculate the casualties. The dead should not exceed [-]% of the total number of people. Immediately make a report and immediately arrest the people involved. Don't do superficial work. The more people you arrest, the better."

Alan Wilson, who was surrounded and walked out of the airport, immediately gave the latest instructions, "The garrison is also responsible for this matter. The garrison must cooperate with our work. Lieutenant General Bilton will not fail to understand. From now on, the whole I am responsible for the matter, no one can hide it from me, go to work now."

"Yes, Commissioner!" The Malayan officials who came to pick up the plane dispersed in a rush.

Chapter 5 Ninety Independent Investigation Committee

At this time, there were only two deputies left by Allen Wilson, Alisa and Edel, who followed their immediate superiors back to the Administrative Office. After a brief discussion, the three came up with a common opinion. This matter cannot be concealed. of.

"First of all, get in touch with the Japanese side, reflect the transparency of British Malaya, and express your apology. If it doesn't work, I can bow. This is not a problem." At the critical moment, Alan Wilson didn't mind expressing the spirit of bowing, As the highest administrative official of British Malaya, he should do this according to the situation and reason.

"Accompanied by the arrest operation, it is the manipulation of public opinion." Alan Wilson turned to look at Alisa and ordered, "Pay attention to the words used to express our style of doing things according to the law, and at the same time to promote mutual understanding. I will immediately talk to the leaders of the MCA and Chinese laborers. Let's meet and discuss what to do about this."

With regard to the unfortunate isolated incident in British Malaya this time, due to various accidental coincidences, how will it develop next.

The two deputies left the Administrative Office respectively, and Alan Wilson also had his own mission. He was going to visit the place where the disabled prisoners of war were held, and provide all humanitarian assistance, even medical treatment.

Isn't this an excuse to transfer the Malayan budget to London in a reasonable and legal way this year?

As soon as Alan Wilson returned to Kuala Lumpur, he showed a vigorous and decisive style, ordering the police department and the garrison to arrest criminals. For a while, the entire British Malaya was in a state of panic, and [-] British troops took action.

At the same time, Allen Wilson approached Lieutenant General Bilton to discuss how to make this matter a minor one.

Compared with the chief executive who was still in London at the time of the incident, Lieutenant General Bilton, who was the military chief, was in Malaya.

If Alan Wilson was responsible, Lieutenant General Bilton was even more responsible, there is no doubt about it.

The fact is also true. It didn't take long for Allen Wilson to take the initiative to deal with the aftermath and let the military chief of Malaya stand on his side. It is impossible to hide this matter.

"Nowadays, the usual methods are no longer effective. At most, it is to let London ignore its faults. Therefore, it is necessary to use extraordinary measures at an extraordinary time. If we can reverse the current situation, we can even turn our faults into successes, and we cannot use conventional concealment means, we want to make this matter bigger, and deal with it neatly in the follow-up."

Alan Wilson expressed his thoughts in front of Lieutenant General Bilton, "We can arrest as many criminals as there are, and even shoot the suspected pro-Soviet elements who were detained before. Because of this major event, we will You can take the opportunity to clear up the little things that were covered up before."

"For the matter of 10,000+ prisoners of war, there are at least tens of thousands of criminals. Are all of them arrested? Isn't the risk a bit greater." Lieutenant General Bilton is a very good soldier, and in name he has more prestige than the positive young administrator.

However, things cannot be generalized. The chief executive's father-in-law is Mountbatten, so the situation at this time is better reversed.

"Dear Lieutenant General, so that we can give an explanation to the international public opinion." Allen Wilson spread his hands, "I am now dealing with this matter at the expense of a bright future. I am not joking."

"Due to the special time of the New Year, it is of course excusable that the garrison did not respond in time, and officials at all levels are equally excusable. We don't want this to happen, but it happened, so our current task , is to do a good job in the aftermath.”

Lieutenant General Bilton finally agreed, and the matter was officially handed over to Alan Wilson.Then the rest is to be open, fair and just, to inform the Japanese side of the matter first.

Before the Japanese knew about it, Alan Wilson, who was busy without touching the ground, met with Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu again.

The first is to dispel the vigilance in the other party's heart. The policeman and the thief just chatted while drinking.

"You start the new year, I have already returned to Kuala Lumpur on January [-]th, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the word "vigorous and resolute." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "In the next time, I will clean up the whole of Malaya. Of course, one of the two of you may have to stay in the cell for a while. As for the other one?"

"We are doing petition work outside, and we are in the middle of a peaceful petition. I hope the London government will be lenient." Tian Qianqiu said, "We acted in a hurry at the time, and most of the members were Chinese laborers. I hope Master Zhongtang will be lenient."

"If it's done well, it's not a matter of opening the net." Alan Wilson paused when he said this, "Of course, don't worry too much. I believe that such unfounded rumors and isolated incidents caused by them will be more serious. As a typical example of modern society, but you can rest assured, as I said before, the risk is shared."

In modern society, who would dare to plan such a bizarre event?Alan Wilson is very proud to say, he dares!For the sake of the national power of the British Empire, he is definitely willing to go all out this time.Things may work or they may fail, but as an Englishman, he is absolutely worthy of the motherland in this life.

After meeting with his subordinates, the military, and even the criminals, a consensus was reached. This incident was officially announced to the world by the British Malaya colonial government. As the chief executive, Alan Wilson expressed his opinion on this nonsensical isolated incident. I apologize, and I promise to conduct a thorough investigation. The follow-up detailed investigation report and casualty data will be released within half a year as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the attack on the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp was known to the whole world. When the third battle had just ended, it became the protagonist of public opinion around the world.

Now the eyes of the whole world are fixed on Britain, the largest colony in Asia.Allen Wilson, in conjunction with Lieutenant General Bilton of the military, imposed military control on Malaya grandiosely.

The military control will not end until there is a final result. In the major cities of British Malaya, the military and police took to the streets to hunt down criminals on a large scale, and at the same time announced the tragic situation in the various prisoner camps.

The Japanese government, which was preparing to accept qualified labor, immediately expressed shock at the tragedy.Hayato Ikeda, whom he had met before, went into battle again and came to British Malaya.

But this time Alisa dealt with the other party and destroyed Alan Wilson's body, huh?Aftermath work buys time.As for what happened to the prisoners of war, it was even more impossible for him to see them.

Every move of Hayato Ikeda was monitored. After the necessary communication, Alan Wilson appeared, "Mr. Ikeda, we will definitely give the Japanese government an explanation. This is inevitable. The British Empire will never tolerate this situation. We have implemented military control and started arresting criminals, and we will give the Japanese government a satisfactory answer by then."

Alan Wilson's face sank, and he expressed the consistent position of the British Empire to the other party. As for the specific numbers, he gave a preventable and controllable answer without any delay.As for these Japanese prisoners of war, those with little damage can be repatriated according to the plan.

"Doesn't Japan want these Japanese prisoners of war to go home?" As if seeing Hayato Ikeda's hesitation, Alan Wilson's tone became a little aggressive, "Then I think that the prisoners of war in the hands of the Netherlands, Australia and Portugal may also So affected."

The issue of prisoners of war involves not only Britain, but also the colonial countries currently in Southeast Asia, as well as Australia.Now Alan Wilson feels that it was a wise move to hand over prisoners of war to other countries as compensation for the losses of World War II.

The more countries involved, the more excuses, and the more excuses, the easier it is to shirk responsibility.Moreover, Japan dare not have any dissatisfaction. It should not be dissatisfied in the first place. What dissatisfaction does a defeated country have.

"Dear Mr. Wilson, the whole world is watching." Hayato Ikeda finally put the pressure on with international attention.

"So what, the United Kingdom is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and countries with doubts can submit proposals to the United Nations." Alan Wilson looked at the other party directly, and said calmly, "People who don't know think that Japan is the world The winner of the Great War. I can give Japan a satisfactory explanation, but if Mr. Ikeda talks like this, then let me remind you that Great Britain has a nickname, the sun never sets.”

Regarding this incident, in the public opinion in the UK, it was defined as a fighting.The main reason is that Japan's request to repatriate prisoners of war is linked to the current war.That is, the previous reasonable doubts, the local Chinese new immigrants believed that the United States would rearm Japanese soldiers and throw them into the war.

The specific situation has not yet been reported from British Malaya, but this reason has become the reason why the British public opinion is so popular.At the same time, he also pointed out that Commissioner Alan Wilson, who was meeting in London at the time, quickly returned to Asia after learning about it, showing a vigorous and resolute style.

At the same time, the cabinet has decided to set up an independent investigation committee and rush to Malaya to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.

In the end, the major newspapers included photos of Alan Wilson giving money on the streets of Paris to introduce to the entire citizen who is currently dealing with this difficult matter.

Whitehall is also discussing the selection of members of the independent investigation committee. In order to show that it attaches great importance to this matter, it is best that a gentleman with a reputation and a gentlemanly demeanor should be in charge.

In the end, it was decided that Patricia Mountbatten's husband, John Brabone's friend, and Lord Armstrong were in charge. In the name of the Independent Commission of Mergers, he went to Kuala Lumpur to investigate and give an explanation to the world.

Before the independent commission of inquiry hit the road, the arrest operation under the strict supervision of Alan Wilson had achieved significant results. The prisons in the entire British Malaya were already overcrowded. In just a few days, more than [-] people were arrested and put into prisons. Among them, he proved with practical actions that strict and thorough investigations are by no means a joke.

Get up and update!

More than 1000 words, my head is a bit empty.

Chapter 591 Misdemeanor Heavy Punishment

Soon, Allen Wilson received concerns from female friends of the same status as his wife in Paris, Bonn, London, and Los Angeles.He played down the impact of this matter in public, but he was not polite in the face of these concerns, and the unified answer was serious, really very serious, and it might be the Waterloo in his life.

"Lord Armstrong, what do you think we should do?" Alan Wilson took a sip of whiskey with his neck up, and said with a sad face, "You know, I was in a meeting in London when it happened. This was an isolated incident, the main The reason is that the new immigrants in Malaya are all Chinese, and they had enmity with the Japanese before, a pretentious rumor caused this situation, and I am very wronged when this happened.”

At this time, Alan Wilson was talking like a gossip, pouring bitterness on the head of the independent investigation committee.

The problems of the Americans, the problems of the Japanese, the problems of the additional influence of the war, anyway, Malaya has no problem.

"Oh, Alan, don't be impatient." Lord Armstrong said comfortingly, "In fact, everyone in Whitehall knows that you are very wronged, and we tend to regard this incident as an isolated incident. But you also You know, this may be the biggest news besides the war, and the Japanese are also following closely."

"The Japanese, that's just an American colony, what right do they have to speak?" Alan Wilson snorted, his face full of disdain.

"The problem is not Japan, but the United States." Lord Armstrong corrected, "We have reasonable doubts that Tokyo is very urgent to ask the United States to put pressure on us."

"This is impossible, unless the United States wants to expand the war." Alan Wilson retorted without thinking, "Under the current situation, the United States will not stand up for Tokyo, and there is no reason to do so. The key is that once the United States If you do this, this matter will become serious, and you must be vigilant enough to the United States when it comes to the colonial issue.”

"Of course we must be vigilant against this matter being used by the Americans." Lord Armstrong pondered for a while, and assured, "Sir Norman means to carry out some necessary procedures, but it mainly depends on what you think."

"Are you telling the truth?" Alan Wilson asked back in a low voice. Now that Whitehall's attitude has been shown, he is not polite. "I am going to exert extreme pressure on the Chinese community. The main purpose is to disintegrate the entire The long-term threat of the Chinese ethnic group, so this matter cannot be easily let go, use all our power in administration, military and public opinion to force the Chinese to guarantee to become the help of the British rule in Malaya, so the first step, I will make this The matter is expanded, misdemeanors are punished heavily, and the long-term goal is..."

Lord Armstrong kept nodding, and then his face became more and more surprised, and finally said, "If the goal can be achieved, it seems that this is not a bad thing."

"It's nothing more than a happy funeral. The matter has already happened. Of course we have to reverse the situation." Alan Wilson said succinctly.

After all, Malaya is a colony, and the current British Malaya is indeed a colonial government. It cannot be said that it was a mistake to take the opportunity to achieve many things that were neglected before.

The next day, Lord Armstrong made an official appearance in Kuala Lumpur in the name of the Independent Commission for Transfers, talked about his views on this isolated incident, and accepted questions from reporters from major newspapers.

When asked by The Times reporter about the cause of the incident, Lord Armstrong replied, "First of all, I like this question very much. This question is very good. At a time when the current world situation is turbulent, the original intention of the UK is to maintain stability everywhere. , to guard the peace, including but not limited to British Malaya."

"So, my lord, what is the attitude towards this matter?" The Times reporter asked with a frown.

"About this isolated incident, it will become a classic case of long-term research in the foreseeable future. We will learn from this incident and leave valuable experience. This will increase trust and reduce misunderstandings. Make sure this kind of incident doesn't happen again in the future."

Lord Armstrong talked eloquently. He already had a draft in mind and began to speak at length, "Of course we can see that the officials of the entire British Malaya responded very quickly and maintained sufficient transparency. The original intention was good. , reflects the quality of imperial civil servants. As for the cause of this incident, I can only say that the motive may be far less evil than imagined. Of course, Commissioner Allen’s opinion is to deal with it seriously. I agree with this point, even if the motive is good. In the end, if you do something wrong, you should also deal with it, absolutely in accordance with internal regulations."

"Of course the original intention of the investigative committee here is to investigate the truth of the incident, not to provide any advice to the Commissioner. We will adopt an objective and neutral attitude to let the whole incident be revealed."

Lord Armstrong spoke impeccably at a steady pace, and the press conference erupted with warm applause.

At this time, Alan Wilson entered the venue, nodded to the head of the independent investigation committee, Lord Armstrong, and then sat down and said, "I repeat here, the British Empire is a place where the rule of law. Of course, British Malaya It may be different, different laws are used here according to different ethnic groups, and we will conduct appropriate trials according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty. You can observe the follow-up progress."

This is the end of this press conference. Compared with Lord Armstrong's statement, Alan Wilson's assurance is more shocking.Many British people don't understand the Great Qing Law, but soon, the reporter learned from the Malaya commissioner that the horror of this law.Compared with modern law, the Qing law is indeed terrifying.

And Alan Wilson and Lord Armstrong have begun to discuss the idea of ​​the next stage, "There is no doubt that it is a good way to distribute the responsibility to everyone equally. I think Lieutenant General Bilton also agrees."

"Oh, my lord. Maybe this is the right way. We are ready to take responsibility and have made the whole thing public. At this time, I believe that international public opinion should not criticize us too much." Alan Wilson said with a flat smile , "You have come from a long distance, I suggest to go to Pangkor Island to take a rest first, the local scenery is pleasant, the sea is clear, there are beautiful beaches, very suitable for self-cultivation."

"Oh, that sounds really good." Lord Armstrong looked interested. "Of course this should not be regarded as a bribe to interfere with an independent investigation, should it?"

"Absolutely not." Alan Wilson categorically denied, "We will conduct a serious and fruitful investigation. It will be absolutely open, fair and just, and no one can interfere."

"Very good!" Lord Armstrong understood, "Of course humans are not machines after all, and a combination of work and rest is necessary."

"It's very necessary. Many Portuguese or Dutch residents often come here, and even many French expatriates in South Vietnam also come here admiringly. Some women are very beautiful." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, and then his face became serious, "Then I will continue to uphold the rule of law, my lord, please take care of yourself."

Regarding this isolated incident, the British Empire must show the attitude it should have to maintain the face of the empire.

No amount of work can be too much for this.As for the dead of Japanese prisoners of war, it is well known that Japan is an East Asian, and it is inevitable that they will not accept the water in the equatorial zone. In the past five years, there are not a few prisoners of war who died of illness or natural death.

"It's natural trends and prisoners of war who died of illness." Alan Wilson corrected after hearing Edel's words, "We must put important things first. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the colonial government will use this year's financial support to support these The wounded are being treated, and they are going to spend huge sums of money on aspirin, what about the budget?"

"It's already done. If it's not enough, we can issue public bonds." Alyssa said with the plan she had prepared.

"Very well, then the next step is to clarify the responsibility. I hope everyone understands that when this kind of reliability issue is involved, try not to make mistakes. Even if someone from MI[-] asks, this is a sudden outbreak of isolation. Invite scholars to analyze the causes of the whole incident, as well as issues of social influence. Focus on academic aspects!"

Allen Wilson crossed his fingers and paused, "It's almost there, and there is nothing to add for the time being. Of course, we can't keep the captured prisoners for nothing, such as proving their value with labor, so as not to cause financial burdens."

While the Independent Commission of Inquiry investigates from Pangkor Island, Alan Wilson is busy unifying his voice.By the way, the Malayan Security Intelligence Commission, the previous information about the rumors was destroyed.

If that report is discovered, it may result in malfeasance, which is not good for overseas civil servants or even Whitehall. Naturally, it should not reappear.

At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, a figure with a sun hat and sunglasses that almost blocked half of his face appeared pushing a stroller.Although they couldn't see the face, many people felt that this must be a very beautiful young woman.

Soon the woman, who was tightly covered, got into a car and disappeared into the noisy airport.

"Vivian, I didn't expect you to come. It's such a pleasant surprise." Ellen Wilson said gratefully as he embraced the major shareholder of United Artists.

"I heard that something happened here, and I'm worried about you." Vivien Li tiptoed to ask for a kiss, her nimble eyes were full of tenderness, "Honey, is the matter very serious?"

"To tell you the truth, yes!" Alan Wilson's face was solemn, without any understatement in public.It seems that this side will only be revealed in front of women of the same status as wives, "We have arrested tens of thousands of people, and the arrest operation is not over yet, the prison is already overcrowded."

Chapter 592 Carrying Forward

Of course, after reuniting after a long absence, Alan Wilson did not let heavy topics occupy the two of them for too long. He mentioned some light things, asked about the national treasure who has become a major shareholder of United Artists, work and life topics, and never mentioned his own. matter.

"I don't have any work for the time being. The manager of United Artists will naturally take care of the business. Now I am mainly worried about you." Vivien Leigh pressed against the man's chest. From her point of view, this man's career crisis at this time, Far greater than any crisis she had encountered before.

When she was in the United States, Vivien Leigh already knew that the United States had formulated strict film regulations to prevent the infiltration of pro-Soviet ideas into the film industry. Once anything involved China, she would be bitten by that McCarthy congressman.

But surprisingly, Vivien Leigh didn't hear McCarthy making a big fuss about this matter, which didn't match the McCarthy he knew at all.

"Maybe I didn't think about it for a while. But from a personal point of view, I didn't find anything bad about McCarthy. He is a good person." Alan Wilson patted Vivien Leigh on the back, and the two cuddled together like this. People who don't know see it, and the first impression is that this is a happy family.

In general, Vivien Leigh no longer has much pursuit of her career. She has become the major shareholder of United Artists and the owner of the Barbie doll company. Came to Kuala Lumpur for the first time to meet a man she thought was in trouble.

As the man behind Vivien Leigh, Alan Wilson is of course happy. It is difficult for a man to be indifferent to this situation.

The reason why Alan Wilson can always think of the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia is because he heard that Vivien Leigh's ex-husband, Mr. Oliver, also went to the United States because of a Streetcar Named Desire.In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, he could only ask his friends in Northern Rhodesia to protect his national treasure from being taken advantage of by his ex-husband.

At least for now, it is very successful. The corner of the wall he used to pry it over is not pried back.

In the evening, the two pushed the stroller together and took a walk in this quiet villa area, as if they had returned to New Delhi, except that there was one more person walking together.

"I have crow's feet in the corners of my eyes. I can feel that I am getting older, and I even thought about having surgery." Vivien Leigh walked briskly against the setting sun, but she was faintly worried about Fanghua no longer.

Compared with the man next to her, she can't always think of this problem. Alan Wilson is still so young and has reached where he is today, but she can't help much. She can only prove it with her heart. Love for this man.

"Crow's feet? So what? Erase this thought from your mind, I don't want to see any marks left by the scalpel on your body." Alan Wilson said firmly when he heard the topic of plastic surgery, "You can age naturally, but don't touch that kind of thing. The human body is a very complex tissue. The level of esotericism is not below the universe. The laws of nature cannot be violated with a small scalpel. If you insist on doing something, Make a plan for exercising and stick to it every day, and that's enough."

"Is this useful?" Vivien Leigh was a little worried about gains and losses, and wanted to work hard to retain her youth.

"Of course it is useful. What is needed is perseverance, which is much better than relying on a scalpel." Alan Wilson began to speak at length, the main purpose of which was to dispel Vivien Leigh's idea of ​​plastic surgery.

For a woman like Vivien Leigh, there are no benefits and only disadvantages for the plastic surgery.

Even during his parallel jogs at night, he talks about not destroying natural beauty. "It could be an emotional crisis for us, and we can't even think about it."

Maybe the whole world pays attention to the public opinion of all parties in Malaya, and will not think about the British Malaya commissioner who promises to punish criminals and uphold the rule of law in front of a bunch of uncrowned kings. This is how he upholds the rule of law at this time.

Of course, soon, Alan Wilson took Vivien Leigh away from the countless eyes in the city on the grounds of obtaining first-hand information, and went to get closer to nature. After all, the investigation work cannot be rushed, and he always has to do something of his own , such as taking Vivien Leigh to experience the great mountains and rivers here.

"If there are some private channels of protest, tell the other party that we know very well about the smuggling in Xiangjiang and the Portuguese territory. It is best for both sides to make peace. With the marine power of the Royal Navy, we want to cut off this It is easy to do this kind of behavior, but we can avoid it. Malaya is a British territory after all, and it is not good for us if we fall out."

After talking to Alisa about the basic policies for dealing with different countries, Alan Wilson disappeared under the guise of going to the countryside to investigate. Of course, he still left his contact information to prevent him from being lost if something happened.

There are of course places in British Malaya where only England can go, and there are many, and these places have undergone the necessary development to become ideal holiday places. for fit.

The pond is hidden in the depths of the forest, surrounded by ferns, and the lake surface is shrouded in water vapor. The surrounding yellow-green tree crowns are reflected on the water surface, together with the transparent reflection of the clear lake water.There is a ripple on the lake, and the breeze seems to dare to destroy this beautiful tranquility.
