British civil servant

"Will the Jews have a relationship with you after hearing about you?" Alan Wilson joked to his wife after listening.

"Don't make trouble, it's business." Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, waited for her husband to open the door, and asked directly, "Get me the bath water, I'm exhausted."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Allen Wilson said, and went into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, the place where the government-business couple talked about business was moved to the bathroom.Pamela Mountbatten was lying in the bathtub, but the imperial commissioner dared not speak out, and moved a small bench to sit on the edge of the bathtub and look at his wife.

"It took me so long this time, mainly to talk to the HSBC Group to let them understand that I am not hostile." Pamela Mountbatten stretched out her hand and patted the foam-filled water, and said lazily.

"When Morgan saw Rockefeller, he inevitably became hostile." Allen Wilson laughed and made a vivid metaphor. Of course, HSBC Group also has industries, but the industries of HSBC Group are incomparable with its banks.

This is like the Morgan Group from the late nineteenth century to before the Great Depression. The purpose of industrial development is to make its banks stronger, and the primary and secondary relationships must be understood.

Pamela Mountbatten agreed with her husband's opinion and continued, "That's about it. After meeting the major shareholders of HSBC Group, the rest is to discuss how to form an alliance with the four major families of Xiangjiang. The sincerity of the other party is still enough. Yes, it took a while for the accounting firm to calculate the asset size."

Listening to his wife's narration, Alan Wilson nodded frequently. The two are more closely integrated than ordinary bureaucrats and businessmen. Who makes them husband and wife? They should be closely integrated.

"Do you still have liquid funds in your hand?" Alan Wilson asked while wiping his wife's body after taking a shower.

"Of course. You said before that they are the ones who ask for help, not me." Pamela Mountbatten was like a cozy kitten, enjoying the care of her husband.

"At the beginning of the year, the Administrative Office announced the adjustment policy on agriculture. It's about time. It's time to enter this important field." After drying his wife's body, he brought pajamas for his wife to put on. Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten walked out of the bathroom hand in hand.

The ultimate goal of Alan Wilson's counter-practice is, of course, to use other people's books to recite his own scriptures.

The agricultural adjustment policy looks similar to that of the hostile camp, but the conditions in the hands of the two sides are different after all.

Its purpose is nothing more than to let the Malaya colony penetrate into the enemy's interior, and then do things that are in line with its own interests.

"Honey, have you heard of Louis Dreyfus?" Alan Wilson asked.

"A French company, right? I remember it's an agricultural and animal husbandry group." Pamela Mountbatten has worked with many French people and has heard of this company.

Alan Wilson nodded. Louis Dreyfus has been established for 100 years and is the only French company among the four major grain merchants in later generations.

LDC grows, processes and transports approximately 8000 million tons of agricultural products around the world, feeding and feeding approximately [-] million people around the world.

Pamela Mountbatten knew her man too well, and immediately knew that there was more to come, so she pinched Alan Wilson, "Stop talking like that with your wife, just say what you want me to do."

"In fact, based on our local conditions, the food problem may be contained by other countries." Alan Wilson was swayed by his wife, and said calmly, "In terms of importance to the country, there are only a few Industry, arms, with the help of my father, even if there is no progress in a short period of time, it will definitely not be a problem in the future. The rest is agriculture. You have to support me in the agricultural adjustment of the colony. Of course, I will not let you do it for nothing. How about you?"

The British knife after the war was quite serious. Not only did the Thai part of the Kra Isthmus be cut off, but even the part belonging to Burma was also transferred to the Malayan colony.

Chapter 8 and Nine

At that time, Myanmar was not yet independent and was a colony under the rule of the British Empire. The part of the Isthmus of Kara that belonged to Myanmar was also directly transferred to the Malayan colony. Without independence, Myanmar could not resist.

And it is necessary to do so. The carat isthmus, Burma and Thailand are partly intertwined. If only the land of Thailand is cut off, it is still difficult for Britain, which is good at navy, to defend. It is necessary to cut off the land of Burma.

As for whether Thailand, which has lost the Kra Isthmus, is hostile to Britain, of course it is in theory, but considering that Bangkok, like Jakarta, is within the range of the battleship's main guns, it has not been shown.

In terms of the current area of ​​the entire Malayan colony, even West Malaysia, which occupies nearly 80.00%, does not have any population pressure. After a round of land distribution, there are still arable land available for reclamation.

Alan Wilson later read a statistic that Malaysia's arable land area is slightly smaller than that of Vietnam, and the two countries are at the same level, while Thailand's arable land area is twice that of Vietnam.The arable land area of ​​Indonesia is twice that of Thailand.

This shows how rare Indonesia's Java Island is among the islands. The cultivated land of Japan, which is also an island country, is one-fifth of that of Indonesia.

Strictly speaking, the Kra Isthmus is not a high-quality cultivated land, but it is definitely not bad by the standards of a big country.Since the local area was ceded by Myanmar and Thailand, it has been under military control.Limited land allocation was carried out, and it was still a wild land in the Malay Peninsula.

The Mountbatten Group has a branch of grain management. Pamela Mountbatten has been cultivating deeply in Australia, and naturally bought some land for agriculture and animal husbandry. Big cities only account for [-]% of the country's land area, and most of them depend on the sky for food.

It is impossible for the Mountbatten Group to become a grain merchant relying on Australia, let alone compare with the four major grain merchants.The emergence of the four major grain merchants is rooted in the strong agricultural positions of the United States and France.America's agricultural empire is more difficult to overthrow than any empire the United States possesses.

France is also the place with the best agricultural foundation in Europe. During World War I, half of France became the main battlefield of the tug-of-war. Even so, there was no food crisis in France, while Germany had a food crisis in the second year.

The four major grain merchants can be used against any country, and of course they can also be used against Britain. Britain can't put its hope on France, can it?In terms of feelings, it is better to hope that the United States treats the United Kingdom better.

"Honey, you really expect a lot from me." Pamela Mountbatten was full of surprise, covering her mouth in a very cute way, "Why didn't I hear you mention it before."

"Because the agricultural issue is very important, there is no certain threshold to get in. Don't think that anyone can farm the land. Planting the land well is not just a matter of pulling a buffalo to plow." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "Then It can only fill one person's stomach, and it cannot reach the level of weapons."

Agriculture is an industry with a large investment, but the profit is not very high in normal years.Except for some years when food wars were launched.

Therefore, it is impossible to enter this field without huge capital, especially now that the four major grain merchants have been operating for a hundred years earlier, and decades later. Pamela Mountbatten is now entering agriculture, and the difficulty is indeed not small.

That's right!Pamela Mountbatten stopped talking, and continued to listen to her husband's high-spirited advice. From the moment she realized she was married, to today, Pamela Mountbatten has formed an instinctive reaction. Do your best to help her.

"Now do you think I have the ability to enter the agricultural field?" Pamela Mountbatten asked in a low voice.

"The hardware should be about the same." Alan Wilson said with a thoughtful look, "After completing the four major family alliances, there are almost no obvious shortcomings in any field."

For agriculture, in addition to some agricultural techniques and arable land conditions, seeds, transportation issues are also very important.Take Louis Dreyfus of France as an example. Louis Dreyfus operates a fleet of more than 170 ships to support its global commodity trading and processing business and customize shipping solutions for customers.Its fleet ranges from Handysize to Capesize and transports cargo across the world's oceans.

The four major families in Xiangjiang all operate shipping companies. Shipping is no stranger to the UK, and the UK is absolutely second to none in the shipbuilding industry in Europe. Once this condition is met, the biggest difficulty will be overcome.

"The Isthmus of Carat?" Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband take out a map and explained the local situation, "With my father who is the First Sea Lord, I believe that the Isthmus of Carat, which is currently under military control, does not exist for you. obstructive."

From this point of view, the military-controlled Isthmus of Kra is simply tailor-made for Pamela Mountbatten, just waiting for this day.

For her husband's judgment, Pamela Mountbatten of course chose to believe it all, and then asked, "So what should we do now?"

"Now?" Alan Wilson asked with some doubts and uncertainty, "Talk to General Bilton?"

"Idiot, put me to bed." Pamela Mountbatten pushed her husband, why did you talk to General Bilton?Let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass?There is no such reason.

You said it earlier!For the food security of the British Empire, the imperial commissioner dared not speak out, and could only sweat profusely to serve the pampered and pampered noble lady. The pain in it cannot be known to others.

Little Yangma went to Xiangjiang, and just came back very energetic, showing excellent physical fitness.After exhausting all his energy for a long time, he fell asleep with his beloved man in his arms.

The attitude of the military is not a problem. It can be said that if it were not for Mountbatten's overly enthusiastic proposal, there would never be the emergence of the three major joint operations commands in the Near East, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Although at that time, Mountbatten was only a lieutenant general, and he was only the fourth sea minister in the Admiralty.

But it is the fourth sea minister, who is doing the work of the first sea minister, and also contributed to the reform of the command system of overseas garrisons. This can only be said that his identity is there, and it is difficult for many people. , no difficulty for Mountbatten.

Due to the division of responsibilities, in principle, Alan Wilson should not come forward, and his appearance is not as effective as Pamela Mountbatten's appearance. He can only ask his wife to go to the Far East Joint Operations Command to talk to Lieutenant General Bilton.

With the encouragement of no major problems, Pamela Mountbatten went straight to the military site, took the agricultural adjustment document issued by the colonial government, and met with General Bilton, who had a headache for no reason.

Mountbatten's son-in-law was already difficult to deal with, and now the appearance of the even more difficult young daughter made the respected command not know how to deal with it.

Lieutenant General Bilton did not know the purpose of Pamela Mountbatten, but he knew that Admiral Mountbatten was the First Sea Lord, had just visited Washington, and had a good relationship with the US military.Through internal channels in the military, he knew that Mountbatten was very popular now, especially maintaining a good relationship with the cabinet.

And Pamela Mountbatten has a great talent for doing business, operating a series of businesses in steel, oil, and banking.With the support of many grand dukes behind him, his business is spread all over the Commonwealth, the major colonies and the monarchy with harmonious relations with the United Kingdom.

Pamela Mountbatten sat in front of Lieutenant General Bilton in uniform with the colonial government's agricultural adjustment documents, and greeted him politely, "Dear Uncle Bilton, I haven't seen you for a while. Today's reckless Come to the headquarters, I hope there will be no blame."

"Oh, Pamela, how could uncle blame you." Lieutenant General Bilton looked like a kind elder, his eyes fell on the document in Pamela Mountbatten's hand, thinking about the other party's purpose.

Pamela Mountbatten smiled and said, "Uncle is too polite, and my father appreciated your performance in the war very much. Otherwise, the country would not have entrusted you with such an important colony that manages the world's three major golden waterways. We all Understand the importance of Malaya to Britain now."

Then Pamela Mountbatten took out the document and handed it to Lieutenant General Bilton, "Have you read this administrative order, uncle?"

"Yes, but I'm not an administrative commissioner." Lieutenant General Bilton was a little surprised, thinking that this administrative order was not issued by your husband?What does this have to do with him as the garrison commander.

"That's right. It's about the development of the Malayan colony, and it's about balancing the two major ethnic groups." Pamela Mountbatten said as if singing, "The harmonious relationship between the administrative department of the colonial government and the garrison, and the complex division of labor , Unnecessary entanglement, in a word, the overall opinion of the administrative department, and understanding the attitude of the Garrison Command, I decided to help my husband and come to the Joint Operations Command to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Lieutenant General Bilton's face changed for a while, and when Pamela Mountbatten finished speaking, he said with doubts, "So what are you talking about?"

"Uncle Bilton, the Kela Isthmus is under military control, right?" Seeing Lieutenant General Bilton nodding, Pamela Mountbatten did not continue to use her speech skills, and went straight to the point, "The Kela Isthmus is in an undeveloped state. For the next policy adjustment, the Civil Administration believes that military control should be lifted and the area should be included in agricultural development. Of course, this requires a lot of money. As a British citizen, patriotism is part of my job. I will try my best to help Malaya development, I hope the local garrison will provide convenience.”

"So that's how it is." Lieutenant General Bilton finally understood that Pamela Mountbatten wanted the land of the Isthmus of Carat, and said with a smile, "No problem, in fact, you just need to say, the purpose of the garrison is to protect the colony." healthy growth."

"It's better to come here to show more respect to the general." Pamela Mountbatten praised with a smile.

Chapter 8: Everyone Has Independent Rights

Based on the current population density, geographical area and other basic conditions, provide support for grain merchant companies in British Malaya.

It will not have an impact on the existing agricultural population. After all, the population of the Malayan colonies is not large.

The adult labor force does not need to expand agricultural production to solve the employment problem, so the development of the Kra Isthmus this time follows the model of large-scale mechanized agricultural production.The United States called it a large family farm, and the Soviet Union called it a collective farm. It doesn't matter what they are called, anyway, they are similar.

"Agriculture is not called intensive cultivation. Agriculture is called agriculture just like sheep cannibalism." Alan Wilson held his wife's hand while walking with his wife who came back from the headquarters, and said with a relaxed expression, "It's not that we haven't done it before, as long as Respect the original intention of seeking profit, and do it bravely, whoever dares to resist, I will settle him for you."

"It doesn't have to be so serious. The current technology is much better than the era when sheep cannibalized people." Pamela Mountbatten said lightly. She was really afraid of her husband's cruelty. She knew very well that her man always judged success by results. And do whatever it takes.

"I'm just talking casually." Walking to a cool place, I reached out to wipe the chair, and after his wife sat down, Alan Wilson sat down and said, "Of course, some stubborn people may have nothing to do with the matter. Those who hinder the development of the colony are considered as pro-Soviet elements to protect the interests of the 200 million imperial subjects, and I believe it will not arouse opposition."

Pamela Mountbatten objected to a loneliness, and Alan Wilson was more inclined to settle the problem once and for all.When necessary, he will instigate the ethnic groups that originally belonged to different countries on the Isthmus of Kra to cleanse each other.

"Exile to the Andaman Islands is enough." Pamela Mountbatten pondered for a long time, and proposed a compromise.She still felt that if there were a lot of deaths, even if they were attributed to ethnic conflict, it would be bad for her husband's future.

"Oh, my dear, you are so kind." Alan Wilson sighed apologetically, he hadn't thought of this way.I even forgot the existence of this isolated archipelago overseas. Indeed, the sequelae of this method are smaller, so I went back and added, "I just take precautions before they happen. You know that in Asia, farmers are more likely to Becoming a pro-Soviet activist, many examples can prove that what I said is correct."

After some self-defense, this topic is considered to be temporarily closed, and the development of the Isthmus of Carat is just the beginning.Just one carat isthmus cannot support a large grain merchant.

Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband briefly describe the history of the four major grain merchants, nodded and said, "Indeed, the shortest of these four companies has been established for 50 years. After so many years of development, they have accumulated strong advantages."

"Of course!" Alan Wilson replied affirmatively, even a pig can become a fairy if it lives for a million years. "So the development of the Carat Isthmus will not impact their status. One Carat Isthmus is not enough, I will unite with others. Colleagues, look for a reliable place in Africa and expand the land in your hands. How about Northern Rhodesia? There are three local areas, and now there are Slavs living there. As long as half of it is developed, it will become a support for your career. Foundation."

As far as British colonies in Africa are concerned, Northern Rhodesia is not special, but it is more reliable.

At least from the current communication, Northern Rhodesia has no tendency to become independent, and it is considered independent.Northern Rhodesia is also far more reliable than black country.Reliability is the biggest advantage. At least after signing the contract, they will not turn against the Mountbatten Group.

Like the Banana Republic in Central America, he sympathizes with these countries from a personal point of view, but it is completely different from another point of view. No one wants to be confiscated by a nationalization after investing such a large amount of money.

This also understands why the CIA insists on treating Guatemala as a model to death.

"Thanks for your hard work, my dear." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her with a pair of almond eyes, as if she was completely dependent on you.

Today, Pamela Mountbatten has already understood that big capitalists cannot be separated from the fact of politics.

She knew very well in her heart how much convenience her father and husband gave her when she was in business.She would be lying if she thought all this was due to her gifted business acumen.

One day later, in the name of the High Commissioner, Alan Wilson handed over the documents on the development of the Isthmus of Carat to Pamela Mountbatten through channels that absolutely complied with procedures. Development of the Kra Isthmus.

Under the care of the Malaya Administrative Office and the Far East Joint Operations Command, and with the help of Richard, the head of the Administrative Bureau, Pamela Mountbatten ordered that the Mountbatten Group transport a large number of administrative personnel from Australia on a Comet airliner. Those who invested in the development of the Kra Isthmus.

On this day in Kuala Lumpur, an old friend of Allen Wilson was welcomed. He used to be the commissioner of the country with him, and now the commissioner of the Sudan, John. John came to Malaya and brought a bad news, "Sudan's The wave of independence cannot be suppressed. I have exhausted all methods, and the most important thing is that Whitehall also stated that although it has been trying to fight for it from the cabinet, the effect is not great."

"Is there really no way?" Alan Wilson looked sad. Although he was always prepared for Britain to step back step by step, and knew that many colonies would not be kept, when this day came, he still couldn't help but feel sad.

John shook his head. The National Alliance Party won the parliamentary election and formed the Sudanese national government. Political suppression has completely failed. The situation in Sudan has evolved to this day, and it is also related to Egypt.

Farouk I looked like the reincarnation of Ali Pasha, incited grief in Egypt, and called on Egyptians to invest in national construction with humiliation, which also had an impact on Sudan.

Alan Wilson's embarrassing face seemed to be related to him, but what could he do?Let Nasser come to power just like in history, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for Britain?

This is the current predicament of the United Kingdom. It is definitely impossible to do nothing, and it is not necessarily better than standing still.

"If there is really no other way, we can only throw away our warmth, and we cannot let any rebellious colony live well." Alan Wilson said coldly, "You and I are both from British India , is no stranger to this situation.”

"Yes." John narrowed his eyes. Of course he knew what Alan Wilson was referring to, and then said, "It needs the approval of the cabinet. Maybe it's not enough for me to settle the matter."

"They kill each other, at least they won't disturb others." Alan Wilson said with his head held high, "Divide and rule."

Sudan has a natural basis for division, with Arabs in the north and blacks in the south.Why does it appear as a whole today?Of course, no accident, it is still the credit of the British Empire. Like British India, Sudan is a political entity pinched together by the United Kingdom.

Although North and South Sudan have intersected in history, the Arab Nubians established a relatively weak rule in South Sudan during their heyday, but it was actually because of British colonial rule that really made North and South Sudan a country.

The main ethnic groups in South Sudan are blacks, who believe in Christianity and primitive religions.Before the merger of the United Kingdom, it was actually a colony of Belgium. In [-], the United Kingdom and Belgium reached an agreement. The Rado enclave that Belgium had just occupied before was transferred to the United Kingdom, and this area is South Sudan in the general sense.

So far, North and South Sudan have become a separate political region, which is the later independent Republic of Sudan.In the early days of British rule, due to local ethnic and religious differences, the North and South Sudan regions were actually divided.

However, after the end of World War II, the rule of the British Empire in the global colonies was facing collapse. In order to maintain its rule in Sudan and stabilize its indirect rule in Egypt, the United Kingdom decided to unify the entire British Sudan.

The biggest change in doing so is that the Nubians have gained greater power throughout Sudan, and the Arabic spoken by the Nubians has also become the official language of the entire Sudan.

In essence, North and South Sudan live together, that is, ten years.

Once again, Britain bears inescapable responsibility for the consequences of not having five hundred countries in the world.

"I'll go to London with you." Alan Wilson already knew the seriousness of the matter from his colleagues. This is not the time to enjoy life in British Malaya, and he must face it bravely.

"Okay!" John agreed happily, "Since you want to be independent, you have to bear all the consequences of independence."

"Everyone has the right to pursue independence, of course black people are also included." Alan Wilson said with a light smile, "We give South Sudan a chance to choose whether it is willing to be with the Arabs or become an independent country .Or don’t become independent first, and see how Sudan develops after independence in a few years. Let’s take a step and see, it’s too early to say these.”

Going home at night, Alan Wilson and his wife, who developed remote control of the Kra Isthmus, confessed the matter, "I want to go back to London to help John get things done for Sudan's independence. There are many things involved in it, which belong to overseas assets. It is the responsibility of the management committee, we cannot allow any colony to impact the mainland independently."

"That's right!" Seeing her husband's solemn expression, Pamela Mountbatten nodded and said, "Go, I'll arrange a special plane for you. Margaret is coming here, and I still want you to give her Arrange an itinerary."

"Your Highness, you can just welcome her." Alan Wilson disregarded the relationship without any trace, as if he would go through fire and water for the empire.

Chapter 811 Partition of Sudan

"Are you so anxious? Could it be that the wave of Sudan's independence has inspired your memories of the glorious years?" Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a half-smile, and her eyes went straight to the heart of the imperial commissioner.

"I'm not that kind of person. Who do you think your husband is." Alan Wilson greeted his wife's scrutiny with a sullen face, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you just know it yourself, hey-hey……"

He has a kind of schadenfreude thinking in his heart, and his favorite scene is when you have something unhappy, saying it makes me happy, and now, as a colony commissioner, he magnifies this kind of shady and dark thoughts.
