British civil servant

With this psychological preparation, Alan Wilson lowered his psychological expectations. It is best to gain something, and it is nothing if there is no gain.

Even if it provides a topic for the Japanese to talk about after dinner, it is good to watch big figures in Japanese politics play tricks.

"You really do not hesitate to do anything for the empire!" Vivien Leigh complained a little in her words, but she did not hide her enthusiasm for this man.

"This is my job!" Hearing the overtones, Alan Wilson immediately turned a corner and boasted, establishing his personal image of serving the country and the people, "Don't ask about this matter, in fact, you are looking for Japanese actors to enter the international market , is also a very important thing, which will help expand the influence of our country. In this matter, we should actually learn more from the French. If the British cultural circle and the French cultural circle are reversed, I doubt that Britain will even open its mouth today. It was all wrong."

The advantage of English over French was purely colonial competition, with Britain beating France.

However, this advantage is not solid, because Portugal and Spain are also part of Latin culture.Together with France, which is also a Latin culture, the coverage is actually no smaller than that of English.

France has always wanted to integrate Spain, Portugal, and Italy, which belong to the Latin culture in Europe.Of course, it is true that there has been no success. In terms of the breadth of cultural radiation, Latin culture certainly has the capital to compete with English-speaking countries.

Because the emergence of the Soviet Union is now very powerful, and Slavic culture is currently the enemy.There are still a group of cultures that belonged to the ancestors from the agricultural era, Arabia, China and India.Among the three, the Arab culture is the most widely distributed, and it was more than a step higher than East Asia and South Asia in the agricultural era.

But the Arabs and even the Peace Church, as opponents that were hit hard during the colonial period, since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, it is hard to see who can still carry the banner.

China and India, East Asia's basic plate is larger than South Asia, and India's South Asia has less room for maneuver.The current time is not noteworthy.

Culture, although in the eyes of Alan Wilson, is a kind of bragging with eyes closed, there is no standard for distinguishing high from low.But it's definitely good to use as a weapon.

Later generations of Japan and South Korea have been invaded by the United States. This is complementary to military hegemony, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary energy for military hegemony.

The necessary cultural invasion is also the necessary basis for instigating internal strife. Alan Wilson knows that Japan is not currently in a state of cultural invasion. It was not long after the end of World War II. The backbone of Japan before the war is now the backbone.And only the Americans can instigate internal strife in Japan.

Vivien Leigh wants to find stars in various countries and build her own entertainment trust, of course Alan Wilson is very supportive.And this time should be sooner rather than later, it is best to start now.

Also starting now is Alan Wilson's investigation of Japan. It's not that he remembered that he still shouldered the responsibility of MI[-], and wanted to obtain some unique technology from Japan.In the current Japan, there is no thing that he must try to steal.

I just want to go deep into the front line of social animals, see what kind of living conditions Japan is in the period of hard struggle, and exchange some experience of squeezing the labor force to the greatest extent.

Assuming that there was no such thing as being neglected by Hayato Ikeda, Alan Wilson, who was ready to have a good talk with Ichiro Hatoyama, put forward a request and set up several inspection factories under the arrangement of officials from the Ministry of Finance of Japan.

It’s impossible not to see it with your own eyes. How to squeeze out the surplus value to the greatest extent is just a few words, then anyone will know it. The company is developing very well. Don't worry about the short-term low salary. You can get a salary increase or a promotion within half a year after joining the company. As a result, there may not even be a promotion system.

Second, there are various nine-nine-six, big and small weeks, and overtime work systems in disguise. By extending the working hours of workers, it can reduce the employment cost that should be paid to you per unit time.It is called the fighting spirit.

As the commissioner of British Malaya, Alan Wilson did not need to examine such macroscopic things at all.He can directly issue regulations and break the law if he does not have [-]. Colonies are very easy to manage on some levels, easier than normal countries.

But [-] is easy, he can't set up a special department of the Security Intelligence Committee to catch foreign workers, right?

It was the work of the Soviet KGB in the late Soviet Union, when there was a wave of unexcused absenteeism on a large scale in the Soviet Union.In fact, it turns out that the phenomenon of absenteeism without reason has disappeared, right?After the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the Russians also worked hard, and they were not treated badly.

Alan Wilson, who followed the Ministry of Finance officials to visit the Japanese factory assembly line, took a notebook to record the current Japanese management regulations. This process was very slow, because he was still thinking about the overtime system in China in later generations, two-phase verification, and learning from each other.

How to avoid the detailed management regulations of miners and foreign workers during the working hours of [-] is the main purpose of Alan Wilson's investigation. He doesn't care about macro issues. As long as he wants, he can only release it for one day a year Leave, just stay one day for the Spring Festival.

In the notebook this entry is written down as a paragraph to curb the development of religion.It's very simple. There are two big and one small ethnic groups in British Malaya. The Indians celebrate the Holi Festival. The Chinese have nothing to do to worship Confucius and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Peace believers come to Ramadan. up?

All kinds of useless small festivals should be stripped away immediately. At most, it is enough for each nation to keep only one important festival.

In the noisy workshop, the sound of machines was heard endlessly. The Ministry of Tibet official who accompanied him glanced at Alan Wilson's notes, and complimented him in surprise, "I didn't expect Mr. Wilson to understand Chinese characters."

"Of course, otherwise, why did you come to manage the Asian colonies?" Alan Wilson put a smile on his face, and changed the subject, "Mr. Ikeda Hayato, Minister of Finance, are you busy, or are you avoiding me on purpose?"

"The Minister of Finance is quite busy every day, and I have been specifically responsible for all the needs of Mr. Wilson." The Ministry of Finance official who accompanied him replied politely.

"Mr. Ikeda is really busy." Alan Wilson said with a half smile. The Ministry of Finance is the department in charge of the economy in Japan, and the Minister of Finance can indeed be said to have a high position in the cabinet of Shigeru Yoshida.

Alan Wilson, who has been taught by the actress' words and deeds, also felt that the hostility just now was too obvious, and changed the subject, "Seeing that the young workers in the factory are very energetic, I believe that Japan will soon return to normal. I would like to ask , Hokkaido was occupied by the Soviet Union, how did you solve the coal problem?"

If you are in a bad mood, mention Hokkaido. After all, in a society with free speech, Alan Wilson doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.

Although because of the topic of Hokkaido, the accompanying officials talked less, but Alan Wilson didn't care. Looking at the young faces, this is completely different from Japan in later generations.

The problem with most companies is that the wages of newcomers are higher than those of the elderly, and if they want to raise their wages, they can only change jobs. This is also a way for European and American companies to provide society with [-] talents every year in disguise.

In fact, companies in most countries are like this.Japanese companies are just the opposite. The salaries of old people are higher than those of newcomers. Even if you are talented, you have to start from the bottom when you enter the company.

Japanese companies in later generations basically only recruited graduates and did not recruit job hoppers.Emerging industries or industries that deal with foreign countries are very tolerant of job hopping. The larger the scale and the longer the history of the industry, the lower the tolerance for job hopping.

With such a large population in Japan, the company believes that it will be able to find loyal and professional employees, and there is no need to recruit outstanding employees who may be disobedient.On a larger scale, this is actually another form of feudal personal attachment, where the fate of members is bound to the organization.

Japanese companies especially like to recruit sports students, because sports students know nothing, and they are collective and easy to obey.

In the final analysis, Japan's industrial upgrading failed, and it failed to snatch the most successful and cutting-edge industries from Europe and the United States.

In a few days, Alan Wilson has drafted the management regulations on performance appraisal norms. For British Malaya, their commissioners have gathered the management essence of China and Japan to serve a colony of British Malaya. Is the score still small?

Chapter 6 and Ten

"The current Japanese financial institutions are like a line that has been stretched to the limit, and there is no flexibility." After Alan Wilson returned to the embassy, ​​he said to Ambassador Burgess, "A lot of money has been invested in subsidies. Without U.S. aid, it would collapse immediately."

This is the conclusion Alan Wilson drew from the information provided by the embassy. Japan's economy should develop slower than in history because it has to overcome the consequences of the loss of Hokkaido.

This conclusion made Alan Wilson very happy. Finally, there was some good news at the level of the world situation, even if it was only a little bit.

The reason for saying this is because Japan is on the front line against the Soviet Union. Even if the United States pays more costs than the same period in history, it will not let the Japanese government fall. Therefore, it is still wishful thinking to expect Japan to sink.

But this is still a good thing for Britain. Whether it is Japan or the United States behind it, it is not a bad thing to pay more costs.

"Alan, it seems that you already have some ideas." Burgess was very interested, and wanted to know what ideas this person who was considered by his colleagues in the Whitehall had a bright future.

"I don't have any special ideas, I just want Malaya to develop to the same level as Japan." Alan Wilson replied shyly, "As a powerful supplement to the United Kingdom, this is enough."

During Japan's prosperity in the 80s, whether Japan surpassed Britain or not depends on how you look at it.In terms of per capita quality of life, Japan has always been at the level of Portugal, and the hard work to achieve a similar per capita income is unimaginable for European countries.

If it refers to national economic strength, it is not a good comparison because Britain has financial advantages, but it can still be said that Japan's national economic strength surpasses that of Britain, but this surpassing is based on the selfless dedication of social animals.

Alan Wilson will understand Japan's development trajectory, because the entire development trajectory of East Asia is the same, Japan's path will be followed by South Korea, and China will follow the same path in the future.

Weaving first, followed by steel, then home appliance shipbuilding, and finally semiconductors. Weaving steel is not difficult.The UK is not strong in home appliances, but what about shipbuilding?At least for now, British shipbuilding is still no worse than that of the United States.

Moreover, the United Kingdom still controls so many colonies, and it can completely tilt out a plastic industry.Alan Wilson, who spent a few days getting to know the current living conditions and business management in Japan, already has a bottom line in general.

This bottom line can be said to be nothing to worry about in Japan. When the semiconductor era requires talent support, the next generation of Malaya should have grown up. It depends on whether education can surprise people.

Anyway, the school classrooms in Malaya are also hung up on studying hard and making progress every day to see if Lim Lian Geok is really worthy of the status of an educator.

He couldn't disclose these thoughts in front of this Soviet spy, and even planned to meet Ichiro Hatoyama, he had to keep it from Burgess, so as not to keep things secret and affect him in the future.

Compared with a conspirator like him, Vivien Leigh, the major shareholder of United Artists, inspected actors in the Japanese entertainment industry, which obviously caused a greater sensation. Although Vivien Leigh is British, Gone with the Wind became famous in the United States, and many Japanese did not. Know that Vivien Leigh is British.

Vivien Leigh even visited a US military base, which made Alan Wilson very angry. After the national treasure came back, he kept thinking, "What is an Englishman doing at a military base? Are there no actors in the US?"

"Honey, I just went over to take a look." Vivien Leigh admitted her mistake with a look of grievance, "After all, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is an ally, and I will take a visit when people invite me."

"The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States?" Alan Wilson pouted his lips and scoffed at this statement. Seeing Vivien Leigh's grievance, he softened in his heart, "It's me who has a lot of trouble, and you shouldn't be harsh on political matters."

"It's because I didn't think about it. By the way, I will meet with the young actor Yachikusa Kaoru tomorrow, and I will be in charge of overseas promotion. I may have to ask Heidi to help with this matter. She doesn't know what's wrong, she just appeared, Inge Li didn't know where she was going, and the company in France was run by Greta." Vivien Li said suddenly and mysteriously, "Honey, have you heard, it seems that Greta has a child, I really don't know Who is it that can walk into her heart?"

"I...don't know!" Alan Wilson's answer had an imperceptible twist, but immediately became decisive. He thought he hadn't entered Greta Garbo's heart, and the relationship between the two was quite strange , more like the relationship of collaborators, but a child emerges from the cooperation.

"It's so strange!" Vivien Leigh muttered softly, making the man beside her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles to change the subject, "I also have a guest to meet tomorrow, so I won't be with you."

"Okay!" Vivien Leigh agreed happily, forgetting that she had never asked Alan Wilson to accompany her to see the actors she wanted to meet.

Compared with the current Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, Ichiro Hatoyama is a bureaucrat with a very deep background, and the influence of the Hatoyama family will continue.

Hatoyama Ichiro's father is Hatoyama Kazuo, who studied at Columbia University in the United States in the early Meiji period and became the Japanese who knew the most about Western affairs. After returning from his studies, he became the director of the Translation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specializing in foreign affairs, similar to the Qing Dynasty Beiyang Minister.

Kazuo Hatoyama became the head of the Japanese House of Representatives, became a senior Japanese bureaucrat, and was also a person who received the first wave of dividends from the Meiji Restoration. It is a typical example of learning and excellence.

If it weren't for being hammered by the five-star emperor MacArthur, Shigeru Yoshida would not be able to compare with Ichiro Hatoyama at all.

Now Shigeru Yoshida and Ichiro Hatoyama are parting ways because they feel that they have been the prime minister for several years, and they already have the capital and people to fight with the old bureaucratic prince.

Alan Wilson has a certain impression of the Hatoyama family. Except for Yukio Hatoyama, every generation of politicians in the Hatoyama family can be regarded as a representative of Japan who wants to take the middle line in a pro-American atmosphere.

As for Shigeru Yoshida, although he started late and had no son, he married his daughter to the Aso family. Taro Aso is a descendant of Shigeru Yoshida.

In the later Liberal Democratic Party, the Hatoyama family belonged to a relatively middle-line faction, but now one of Hatoyama Ichiro’s supporters is Kishi Nobusuke, and he has a brother named Sato Eisaku, who is now Yoshida Shigeru’s right-hand man.

Alan Wilson looked at it this way, and it turned out that Abe's elders were following the route of the Zhuge family of the Three Kingdoms.Several relatives served different big bosses, and they really read the Three Kingdoms to their hearts.Abe, a descendant of Nobusuke Kishi, also inherited Ichiro Hatoyama's idea of ​​amending Article [-].

Hatoyama Ichiro, who had just come back, waited for Alan Wilson who came to the door, out of respect for this rare and relatively peaceful figure in the Japanese military period.

Alan Wilson decided not to mention the Hokkaido issue today. He directly stated that he had just contacted Nanyang and that the repatriation of prisoners of war could no longer be delayed. Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and Minister of Finance Hayato Ikeda refused to respond positively.

"I don't know if the current government is a zombie? Mr. Hatoyama, I only know of your existence. To be honest, the attitude of our UK, the Netherlands, Portugal and Australia is the same. And I don't have time to spend endless time in Japan will handle this."

Alan Wilson directly stated his attitude, saying that the date of repatriation has been set, hoping that Ichiro Hatoyama can use this to exert pressure.

Ichiro Hatoyama, who had just come back, immediately realized after hearing Alan Wilson's words that this was an opportunity.An opportunity to attack Shigeru Yoshida and avenge the other party's ingratitude.

"Mr. Wilson, I apologize for the slights that Britain and other countries have received in this matter." Realizing that this was an opportunity, Hatoyama Ichiro came directly and bowed, expressing his apologies for this matter, "Those prisoners of war are also Being deceived by the government, of course they want to return to their own country. The attitude of Shigeru Yoshida and Hayato Ikeda in this matter is irresponsible.”

The Japanese have the habit of bowing, and Alan Wilson is not good at refusing, so he accepted it directly. At the same time, he gave a voice in the United States when he met with the US military before. The United States hopes that Japan will have basic self-defense. ability.

Ichiro Hatoyama has always advocated amending Article [-], and now MacArthur, who kicked Ichiro Hatoyama off the prime minister's throne, has returned to the United States in despair.It can be said that the biggest obstacle is gone!

Otherwise, Ichiro Hatoyama wouldn't be so coincidental, he came back after MacArthur left Japan, and couldn't recover after five years of recuperation?Emperor Mai recovered right after he left?Even Alan Wilson, an Englishman, can see the trickiness in this.

It was nothing more than Ichiro Hatoyama feeling the opportunity to make a comeback after MacArthur left.

Now that Allen Wilson came to the door, it was an operation of actively handing over the knife, and Shigeru Yoshida held the prime minister's position and did not let go.Then let's launch an attack on the issue of the repatriation of prisoners of war this time.

It didn't take long for Alan Wilson and Ichiro Hatoyama to reach a consensus that the repatriation of prisoners of war should begin immediately.The two are each responsible for a part, and Alan Wilson is responsible for overseas public opinion, so that Japan can feel the attitude of the enemy of the free world.

Hatoyama Ichiro gathered Japanese members who were still loyal to him, and used the issue of prisoners of war to attack the Shigeru Yoshida cabinet.

For Ichiro Hatoyama, who has just come back, but has been poured cold water by Shigeru Yoshida, the issue of prisoners of war can be said to be a good knife.And Alan Wilson hit it off.

In a good mood, Ichiro Hatoyama even wanted to stay with Alan Wilson for a meal and experience Japanese culture.

Alan Wilson declined. In the minds of Chinese netizens in the 21st century, the so-called Japanese culture is equivalent to ***.

Various reproductive diseases are rampant in the U.S. military, and even MacArthur has been recruited. He thinks it is better to be careful.

Chapter 611 Hatoyama's Attack

After the uninvited guest left, Nobusuke Kishi, who expressed goodwill to Ichiro Hatoyama's return, appeared to discuss this new situation.

The cherry blossom season is over, but this does not delay Alan Wilson’s curiosity about Tokyo, the heart of Japan. It’s a pity not to visit this world-famous city, although he thinks he should dedicate everything to the British Empire , but there is no delay in wandering around.

In Alan Wilson's mind, from now until the 21st century, Tokyo will usher in Japan's unprecedented status in the world, representing the highest level of development in Asia.

Although the hardware facilities of the magic capital in the 21st century have caught up with Tokyo, it is still a little less interesting in some details.

Ginza is the most famous place to foreign countries, and it was actually the busiest part of Tokyo before the war.

Although she was in a city with a different civilization, or even a completely unfamiliar city, Vivien Leigh felt comfortable holding a man's hand like never before. Only in this place could she feel that this man was completely her own.

That's enough, she must consider the man's career, as well as her own age, and not be too greedy.

What's more, Alan Wilson has never expressed any dissatisfaction because of age, and even prevented her from using a knife in the face, preferring to see the national treasure that is slowly aging.

"How do you feel about this city?" Alan Wilson held Vivien Leigh's hand, and did not forget to ask during the walk.

"Better than Kuala Lumpur and Xiangjiang! Or almost, the pace of life of the Japanese seems to be very fast, everyone seems to be in a hurry?" Vivien Leigh tilted her head and expressed her opinion.

"The eyes are very vicious. This city can even be compared with New York and London." Alan Wilson nodded after listening, "As for the pace of life, it's just that Britain has passed that time. Appeared. The hardships that should be suffered, all European countries have suffered hundreds of years ago."

In terms of the harsh sea conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean, it is impossible to estimate how many people died in the Atlantic Ocean after the colonial era began. The nickname Ocean of Storms is definitely not in vain.

"Can it be compared with New York and London? Will I agree? Leaving aside, Americans think that there is no city in the world that can compare with New York." Vivien Leigh whispered with a smile, "Be careful that our allies will be dissatisfied! "

"New York will sooner or later become a city with aging facilities and filth, and new cities will continue to emerge, just like after Napoleon III transformed Paris." Alan Wilson shrugged, "This is inevitable There is still a lot of room for improvement in Tokyo.”

"Do you want me to hoard land?" Vivien Leigh asked, remembering Alan Wilson's suggestion to her to hoard land in Xiangjiang.

"No! It's not easy!" Alan Wilson shook his head resolutely, and thought for a while, "There is only one objective condition for Xiangjiang to travel all over the world. It is unimaginable to make a fortune there. It is not easy for us to reach out in Japan. , mainly depends on the actions of the Americans."

Now Japan has not fully recovered from the war, and it is too early to hoard land, at least until 20 years later.Besides, isn't it easier to wait for the United States to harvest the Japanese stock market?

While walking along the streets of Tokyo with Vivien Leigh, the story of Japan, whose presence has been greatly reduced since the war, once again appeared on the headlines of newspapers in various countries, this time it was about the repatriation of prisoners of war.

The Australians originally wanted the Japanese prisoners of war to repatriate them after all the iron ore development in advance, but British Malaya had an attack on the prisoner-of-war camps.Australia probably wouldn't care if Malaya was not ruled by Britain.

But it is precisely that after the attack on the prisoner-of-war camp, Britain decided to repatriate. After consideration, the Australian government took coordinated actions. After all, Australians believe in the saying that blood is thicker than water, and following the British policy has become a foregone conclusion.

Britain should be considered very lucky to have such a little brother. Unfortunately, the United Kingdom has always been the bottom of the earth in terms of maintaining cohesion. Not to mention compared with civilized countries with a long history, even France can't compare.

Ireland, which is so close, can't assimilate. The inability of Britain to maintain centripetal force can be seen.

But fortunately, Australia was not affected by the hip-stretching home country, and once again assumed the role of a pioneer. The major media in Australia launched a coordinated and violent attack on Japan's refusal to accept prisoners of war and allow the prisoners of war to fend for themselves overseas.

The memories of WWII, including the massacre of Australian prisoners of war by the Japanese, the killing of European expatriates in Southeast Asia, and the fact that women were used as comfort women, have been dug up by the Australian media.

Today, five years after the end of World War II, Japan, which has become the rear of the US military operations on the peninsula, has once again become the target of Australia's verbal criticism.

Australia's first attack was just the beginning, followed by Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands.

Especially British Malaya, this is not Alan Wilson deliberately leading the storm of hatred against Japan, but it still has something to do with him in Tokyo. The reason is that Alan Wilson put British Malaya this year Most of the financial expenditure, bought a batch of the most expensive aspirin in history.
