British civil servant

It is not a pity that Myanmar Province has not been realized. Even if Qianlong conquered Myanmar, he did not have time to devour or call national integration.

Because the British army will come along the sea soon.Qianlong will only have one more evidence of a prodigal son.

If there were other British people in front of Wu Nu, the peace-loving statement might get away with it.

But it just so happens that Alan Wilson has a good understanding of Eastern history, and a few words can make the Burmese speechless.

"Speaker, this Englishman has been to Burma before, and he knows the entire East very well." After the first contact, Wu Dinglun found an opportunity to mention some information about Alan Wilson to Wu Su.

"There are people like this in England?" Wu Su was also surprised, he was completely unprepared before he came.

Allen Wilson dismissed the others and hid in Queen Nanfang's boudoir to rest. This is normal. Isn't it strange that Mr. Zhongtang talks about state affairs with the Queen?

"Thailand, between your two countries, is actually not that strong in military power. Vietnam and Myanmar are the ruthless players in Southeast Asia, but in this era, bravery alone cannot solve all problems. In the final analysis, fighting depends on Where is my level of technology?" Allen Wilson stretched out Lushan's claws, "Dear Empress, it is really incomprehensible that Emperor Bao would be willing to live apart from you."

"Commissioner, we still need to negotiate." Queen Nanfang reluctantly evaded, and she didn't dare to turn her face. This British is the highest officer of the entire colony, and she is no longer the queen of a country.

"If Emperor Bao Da asked me to be the prime minister, I might be able to rejuvenate Vietnam. It's such a pity." Alan Wilson lamented that his prime minister's talent could not be fully utilized, and he could only use a small part of it with Queen Nanfang.

Thinking about it, he is such an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, not only has the literary talents of Prime Minister Cao, but his second brother is also invincible in the world.That's why God set up so many tests.

"Commissioner, negotiating with the Burmese is a major issue." The inevitable Queen Nanfang was struggling for the last time.

"Seeing is believing. I have already arranged for the Burmese to visit West Malaysia." Alan Wilson pressed every step of the way, wanting to relive his old dreams and show off his prime ministerial talents in front of Queen Nanfang.

This kind of thing is completely plausible. Emperor Bao Da and Queen Nanfang are no longer together. Alan Wilson feels that a weak woman needs a man to rely on. In the whole of Malaya, he is the only one who has this ability, so he is the most suitable candidate.

For the friendship between Britain and Vietnam, the imperial commissioner sacrificed himself, what a great heart.

Empress Nanfang didn't know what mood she was in. Then Vivien Leigh stayed at the hotel on the golf course and saw the two of them swinging on the golf course from a distance. He also deeply hated the subjugated Emperor Bao Da, which led to his current fate.

After a swing, Vivien Leigh, who was a little tired, put on a sun hat and expressed that she wanted to take a break, and asked, "So what does the Burmese mean? Don't you have any intention?"

"It's useless to spend as much spittle as I can, and seeing is believing. Let them see the current situation in West Malaysia for themselves, which is better than what I say." Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn't say, and there were some reasons for it. Yes, I found time to show off the prime minister's talents in front of Queen Nanfang, but this reason is more plausible.

"Because of colonial history, the Burmese must be wary of us, which is very normal. But they are more wary of the two big guys next to them. Compared with China and India, we still have advantages. The British mainland is far away. On the horizon, and those two countries will always be next to Myanmar, the distance creates beauty, the past is very important, but the reality is even more important.”

"That makes sense." Vivien Leigh nodded, picked up two bottles of drinks, unscrewed one and took a sip and handed it to Alan Wilson, "Are you optimistic about Myanmar?"

"It's better to say that there is no choice. The United States has been operating in Thailand for a long time. Similarly, the Philippines, Indonesia is the enemy, and South Vietnam is more dangerous. How can there be any choice? India? See Nehru's vision of the world The third one, I can't say anything cheap for him."

Gudonggudong drank the drink, Alan Wilson pursed his lips, as if he was enjoying the fragrance of the British treasure, "It won't take long, the oil refining center in Singapore will be completed, and labor will always be needed as workers, and Ma The labor force coming to the Asian colonies is no longer enough."

"You have been worrying about this matter recently." Vivien Leigh persuaded with a sullen face, "There will be a good result."

"Hurry up, even in Asia, there are no opponents." Alan Wilson took off his sun hat and took out a cigar. Vivien Leigh quickly took out the lighter and lit it, with a full face of attachment.

At present, there are two things to do. The first is to carry out industrial transfer before Japan.

Geographically, there is no conflict between the two, and South Korea is the first choice for Japan's industrial transfer.However, Lee Seung-wan will help Alan Wilson a lot. As long as he is president for a day, the temporary transfer of industries will not start.

During Rhee Seungman's period, only the lowest-end flour, sugar, and cotton textiles developed rapidly in South Korea, from which South Korea's first chaebols were born.

In the era of Syngman Rhee, the entire South Korea became a market for government-business collusion and power-money transactions. The election of Syngman Rhee relied on the political contributions of the seven major companies Taechang Textile, Jinxing Textile, Chosun Textile, Dongyang Cement, Dongli Industries, Capital Industries, and Central Industries. , These chaebols were supported by the Syngman Rhee regime, small and medium-sized enterprises closed down one after another, and the unemployment rate soared.

South Korea's agriculture has also suffered a heavy blow due to the scissors gap between the prices of agricultural products and industrial products caused by the food aid from the United States.In the later period of Syngman Rhee's reign, severe inflation occurred.

So there is a reason why Korean smugglers appeared in the Malayan colonies, but most of the people who escaped from Korea were mainly destined for Japan.

At present, Japan's industrial transfer is not urgent. After all, Japan's population is nearly [-] million, and its labor force is far more abundant than that of the Malayan colony. Malaya's industrial transfer is imperative.

The oil refining center is about to be completed. This is the basis for Allen Wilson to take the Formosa Plastics route. As the most important port in the Strait of Malacca, Singapore’s location is naturally needless to say. The number of ships passing through the Strait of Malacca is huge, and the amount of fuel oil and The variety is increasing.

At the same time, with the rise of the Japanese economy, Japan imports a large amount of energy resources through the Strait of Malacca every year. Singapore, a port city, is located between the crude oil production area in West Asia and the oil consumption area in the East.

In addition to processing different oil products such as gasoline, the planned Singapore refinery center can also produce gaseous fuels, synthetic gas, petrochemical products, lubricating oil and asphalt raw materials.

Developing the chemical industry on this basis, and then completing the planning of the Formosa Plastics route, the Malayan colony can be regarded as having a foothold, and initially has an industry that can be sold all over the world.

When Wu Su led the Myanmar delegation to visit major cities in the West Malaysia Peninsula.The first artificial satellite of the United States is finally long overdue. It is still an important milestone for the United States, which has been under heavy pressure and looks differently from other countries in the world.

For the United States, the successful launch of the "Explorer 1" satellite is of the greatest significance that it has re-established the confidence of the United States, and it has also proved to the world that the United States at least does not lose to the Soviet Union's technical capabilities.

During the launch of NO.18 in December last year, all major television stations and radio stations across the United States simultaneously broadcast live the scene of the United States using the "Pioneer" rocket to launch an American satellite.

In front of the TV sets of audiences across the country, the "Pioneer" rocket lost contact shortly after it took off.And a week later, the United Kingdom successfully launched in Australia, which caused the United States to suffer a double blow.

And in [-], the United States was finally able to feel proud and join the aerospace club.

However, Washington's claim that it has the same level of technology as the Soviet Union did not convince American citizens, and many media said that Britain was also ahead of the United States.

Alan Wilson, the hero of British spaceflight, has nothing to say. He can even congratulate the United States. It weighs about 1 kilograms, but 27% of it is all kinds of equipment, and the utilization rate is extremely high. It is more like a technological product than the iron ball in the Soviet Union except for the beeping bark."

Chapter 933 "British Burma"

McCarthy has always presented himself as a fanatical anti-Soviet politician and a tough conservative image, and there are many black spots in politics.

The image in the media has always been mixed.Especially last year Chaplin's death in Europe was unknown, and it happened that King of New York, a political satire film based on McCarthy, came out, so that McCarthy was generally suspected.

But at this moment, American citizens found that McCarthy's passionate and hostile voice sounded so pleasant.

Even many individuals and media who are hostile to him admit that McCarthy, who usually turns black and white, has given the United States, which was preempted by the Soviet Union and Britain, a little confidence.

Unanimously, all the media at this time united and reported McCarthy's congressional speech extensively.As for this, Americans can believe that the United States is not behind any country.

"It's more than that, it's clearly leading." Alan Wilson, holding a newspaper, was happy for his American friends in the distant Malaya colony of Penang. As for such a spoiler, what will happen in the American political arena in the future? To change, take one step at a time.

It's a pity that McCarthy's personal image is really a bit of a hindrance, and Kennedy is the most handsome man among the US presidential candidates over the years. In the US election that desperately needs exposure, the disadvantage is too great.

Handsome guys are really useful. If you don’t believe me, just look at the current leader of the Conservative Party, Aiden. The 60-year-old Aiden certainly doesn’t become a killer of female voters like he did when he was in his prime.

But not handsome guys also need comparison in a certain sense, look at Attlee, who is in his 70s and whose forehead is brighter than a light bulb, and judge directly.

Logically speaking, the United Kingdom has defended the free world, which should increase the support rate of the Labor Party, but it is still inseparable from the support rate of the Conservative Party. Alan Wilson thinks that some British people may indeed be interested in the Labor Party cabinet that has been in power for more than ten years. Feel slack.

This is the case with electoral countries. Merit often fails to keep up with nitpicking. After a long time, the enthusiasm of voters is not as good as before.

The Burmese delegation’s itinerary is far from over. During this period of time, he can’t always play with the national treasure and the queen. The Penang commissioner, Evered, has received the care of his immediate superiors. People also had some exchanges around the work in Penang.

"One of the two major events this year is the investment with Myanmar. Once the oil refining center in Singapore is completed, there will be a shortage of labor force." Alan Wilson said while swinging his club.

"Almost made a hole in one. The specialist's skills are astonishing." Evered didn't know if he heard what his immediate boss said, or he was still too immersed in golf.

Alan Wilson twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that my skills in another aspect are really shocking. I made a hole-in-one every time, and I was directly misled by my subordinates. He suddenly said, "Why are there condoms in circulation on the market? Check it carefully. After checking, to ensure sufficient labor force, the colony has long banned this, so where did this come from?"

Evered was stunned. He didn't know that his immediate superior had been treated inhumanely by Queen Nanfang.

When a majestic imperial commissioner showed off his talents as a prime minister, he unexpectedly saw from Queen Nanfang something that was already banned in the colony.

Queen Nanfang's small means of buying condoms to protect herself is of course useless. Alan Wilson cannot accept this kind of bondage that violates the free world. His second brother has never been wronged like this, even with the royal princess.

"I'll definitely check it out." Evered hurriedly assured, and now he also knew that when his immediate superior was discussing the issue, he patronized flattery, and was beaten by a trivial matter, and quickly replied, "Myanmar Investing in this area, as a city directly facing the Bay of Bengal, Penang must give full play to its geographical advantages and establish a regional economic belt in the Bay of Bengal.”

"Oh." Alan Wilson finally looked calm, and nodded with a golf club, "The development of the West Malaysia Peninsula is a wolf pack tactic, and Kuala Lumpur is the capital. It is not in the discussion. The positioning of Malacca and Penang must be found. .Singapore is quite special. In terms of geographical location and objective conditions, Singapore is the best place to deal with the Asia-Pacific. It is the easiest city to take off. We need a trustworthy commissioner to sit in the city, and Penang can’t relax either.”

"Development is development, and we must also adopt a certain balance of work, so that it is easy to divide and conquer."

"But as the commissioner said, the conditions of the four major cities are different. In fact, Penang is better, and the positioning of Malacca and Singapore is more conflicting. How can we contain Singapore." Evered is also in a dilemma. Divide and conquer is easier said than done. It is not so easy to do.

"Bundling the four major cities to create public opinion." Alan Wilson heard that this was his strength. He didn't dare to say how professional he was on the map gun, but he knew a thing or two. "There are many ways, such as in the colonial capital. In the discussion, it is said that Penang is only one vote short of becoming the capital, in Malacca City, it is Malacca, and in Singapore, it is Singapore.”

"Singaporeans are stingy, sophisticated, and respectful of foreigners... Forget it. In terms of traditional culture, Penang is better, and so on. In fact, this kind of mutual attack can be operated from any angle and at any level."

Alan Wilson introduced the relevant process to Evered in detail.Regarding the choice of the capital of the republic, isn't it that all cities are one vote away from the imperial capital?

Whether the citizens of Kuala Lumpur will believe it or not, or whether the citizens of Singapore will believe it, does not matter.When bashing Singapore, the citizens of the other three cities believe that the same is true when bashing Kuala Lumpur, and that's fine.

As for self-promotion, it will take a lot of work. It can't be like a way to fake Xi'an as the world's four ancient capitals.

Penang does not have this history, but it can use a binding method similar to the four ancient capitals to force Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to be on the same level as the two weaker cities.Kaifeng was squeezed out by Nanjing without anyone knowing it.

"In the case of the promotion of the correct pronunciation in the colonies, it is actually unfriendly to the vast majority of Chinese immigrants, and the operation here is even bigger. It is suitable for many stories to evolve, and it depends on how you make it up."

Alan Wilson remembers that, including but not limited to Cantonese, Wu dialect, and Jin dialect, there are versions that are two votes less than Mandarin. The Chinese in the Malaya colonies must not think of it. It is only by my own efforts that I have settled the accent problem that most Chinese people do not know how to speak.

Evered, who was instilled with new knowledge by his immediate boss, sighed in his heart, is this a top student of Oriental studies?He never thought about it, but Alan Wilson made it casually, as if he had done it before.

Alan Wilson has only seen it before, but it is better to maintain an inscrutable image in front of his subordinates, "One method always fails to work, so British India is British India, Malaya is Malaya At this point, we should use some new methods, so that we can go far and even surpass it.”

No matter how many times you start from scratch, Singapore's development is easier than other cities in West Malaysia.It's like the location of Shanghai is the most suitable economic center in the country.

No matter how many times you choose, the capital of the colony cannot be placed in a coastal port, just like the imperial capital connecting two plains, there are many considerations for the administrative center.

"Understood?" Alan Wilson swung his golf club and asked the subordinates who had learned new knowledge with searching eyes.

"Understood!" Evered replied very simply, "I also have an idea about the positioning of the four major cities."

"Very good, let's deal with the smuggling of condoms first. This is also a big deal." Alan Wilson regained his indifferent expression, this time it was a serious matter in his heart.

Penang has to deal with the Bay of Bengal economic belt, including Myanmar and East Pakistan.The Malacca port mainly serves the West Malaysia Peninsula for import and export, while Singapore also serves the Asia-Pacific countries, and Kuala Lumpur is the capital, so the positioning is different.

While Alan Wilson was taking care of both public and private affairs from Penang, the Burmese delegation led by U Nu began to inspect the major cities and industries in West Malaysia. What they heard and saw along the way was shocking.

If a certain city is particularly prominent, it will not shock U Nu. It can be understood as a national effort to save face, but Penang is a scene of development while building. From Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, and finally Singapore, almost It is amazing to see such a scene in the whole city.

Before World War II, in the prosperous era of Burma, only Singapore, an important port in Malaya, could be compared with Burma. On the whole, Burma was the best of all British colonies at that time.

U Nu telegraphed what he had seen and heard along the way to General Aung San in Yangon, and he was shocked between the lines. If U Nu did not enter politics, I believe the BBC would have a place for him.

When he returned to Penang again, Wu Nu, who had already contacted Aung San, already had a decision in his heart.

Myanmar, with a population of 800 million and a population of more than 60 square kilometers, has once again stepped onto the dining table, and this time, unlike the last time, Myanmar chose to do so on its own initiative.

Alan Wilson found the feeling of being possessed by Lloyd George again. He had firmly grasped Wu Nu, but he still reservedly said that labor rights and the eight-hour work system firmly occupy the moral high ground. In fact, this What does he care?

If the Burmese want to, it is their freedom to work 25 hours a day, as long as they can do it.

Although he knew that these contents were bullshit, Alan Wilson still added similar contents to the agenda of the negotiation, and it was easy to shirk responsibility if something happened.

The next time is when he strives for the best interests of the British capital and the compradors in Malaya.Pull the whole of Burma under the influence of Britain once again.Finally, the whole negotiation came to an end!

"I hope Myanmar can usher in a new wave of prosperity." Alan Wilson, who successfully led the British capital back to Myanmar, was in a good mood and shook hands with Wu Nu.

Chapter 934 The French Trap

Alan Wilson feels very simple now. To describe it in one sentence, I, Hu Hansan, are back again.

He felt a little bit about the joy of the returning home group now. Of course, he was not the only one who was happy. At least on the surface, the big compradors around him also expressed their happiness, and they applauded hard.

In both public and private matters, being able to reach an agreement with Myanmar is something to be happy about.The size of the Malayan colony is not large enough, human resources have been strained, and industrial transfer is imminent.

And Myanmar is the most suitable target. The land is connected, and the Andaman Islands in the outer sea are still controlled by the United Kingdom. Whether it is from land or sea, the United Kingdom has the ability to force Myanmar to submit. With this backing, I will not be afraid of Myanmar in the future. Changes have occurred that have damaged British interests.

This move is also significant in significance. After Myanmar’s independence, after a round of British capital fled, the remaining British-funded enterprises in Myanmar have also been guarded by the Myanmar government for a long time, and their operating profits are not as good as before.

Now Aung San, represented by Wu Nu, is willing to open up the entry of British capital, which also represents a change in his hostility to British capital.

This is a gratifying thing. This step has been successfully taken. The Penang negotiation this time is simply a milestone.

"In fact, although independence has caused twists and turns in the relationship between our two countries, people always have to look forward, Speaker U Nu. In fact, Malaya and Myanmar are neighbors. I can also see it in the past few years. General Aung San Be careful to maintain the balance and not get involved in any vortex, whether it is for India or China."

Alan Wilson, who was in a relaxed suit, did not forget to show his old skills, "I am not trying to provoke discord. Although Britain and Myanmar have hatred, after all, the mainland is far away, and the pressure brought by the two big guys next to Myanmar is completely different. If it’s really a balanced route, where distance creates beauty, the UK is more suitable to be friends.”

"We and our neighbors follow the original intention of living in peace." Wu Nu frowned slightly, feeling that Britain seemed to have bad intentions.

"Malaya is also a neighbor of Myanmar. Of course we are willing to live in peace." Alan Wilson subconsciously skipped the matter of the Kra Isthmus.

How big is the Kra Isthmus in Thailand?The current size of West Malaysia depends on the dedication of Myanmar.With the part of Thailand, there is such a large area.

So it makes sense for Myanmar to be hostile to Britain, but fortunately, time is a good medicine to heal pain. Independence is not bad, but do you think it has too little inheritance?That's what Indonesia thinks, and it was directly cut off 100 million square kilometers of land. If you think about it this way, Myanmar should feel much better.

Alan Wilson unilaterally declared that the festivities of the colonial era had been overturned, and that the future would be the golden age of the British Empire and Burma. Soon, the cause and effect of this negotiation became a report delivered to London via Norman Brooke’s hand, to Prime Minister Attlee.

"There is no doubt that Alan's talent in the diplomatic field has been fully demonstrated through this incident. After Sir Ismay left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan is also a suitable candidate for the permanent deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Norman Brooke carefully organized his words to avoid an imperial impression. After hearing this, Prime Minister Attlee asked, "How is Alan's reputation in your Whitehall?"

"It can be called a bright future." Norman Brook said solemnly, "If it weren't for the complicated external environment and the need for someone with extraordinary energy and enthusiasm to sit in charge, we would not send him out at all."

"The situation in the colonies is complicated. In a sense, it is also the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's just that it is not a formally independent country, but the nature of the work is similar. But no matter from any angle, it can be compared with Myanmar after independence. Having a good relationship and giving the UK a chance to come back is a great thing."

"What I have to admire is that he has a very precise strategic vision. A few years ago, he deliberately stripped the Andaman Islands and put them under the management of the Malayan colony. This archipelago in the middle of the Bay of Bengal is very important to neighboring countries A faint deterrent."

"The value of some islands really needs to be reassessed, especially in terms of marine value." Prime Minister Attlee nodded solemnly. The oil in the Gulf of Guinea is an obvious example.

The nearby Spanish colony is small and pitiful, but the Spanish Franco government joined the ranks of dividing the Gulf of Guinea with an island. According to the news from Portugal, the oil resources off the coast of Angola were first identified, which made several involved The country is very excited, and the development of the Gulf of Guinea has accelerated.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Norman Brooke reservedly agreed, "Through the transfer of the textile industry, the door of Myanmar has been re-opened, which is very beneficial to the UK. His tenure as the High Commissioner was very successful. .”

"Actually, you are the cabinet secretary, so you can make up your own mind about the transfer of civil servants. However, there may be some problems with Morrison." Prime Minister Attlee frowned. It is well known that the prime minister and the foreign minister are at odds. fact.

If it weren't for maintaining the unity of the Labor Party and avoiding internal friction, he would have let Morrison stand aside.

The Labor Party is relatively young compared to the Conservative Party, which has led to problems with some new parties, such as the numerous factions within the Labor Party, ranging from trade unionists, to free marketists, to radical socialists.Each leader changed the composition of the party, bringing in new members and changing old alliances.
