British civil servant

"If it succeeds, my family and I will figure out a way." Empress Nanfang understood that this was to hand over the penance paper to the Pope.If she wants to send her son to the throne of the monarch, she must need the support of her natal family.

Empress Nanfang got into the arms of the imperial commissioner directly, "Then let you worry a lot."

"That's right, based on our relationship, your son is my godson, and I'm his false father. Why are you being polite?" Alan Wilson smiled and agreed, "Actually, there are only two obstacles. To be trusted, and to collect the money, as a fake father, I will definitely help out tirelessly."

Empress Nanfang was of course very willing in her heart, and directly gave the imperial commissioner the treatment of a fake father.

For the sake of friendship between Britain and Vietnam, Alan Wilson sacrificed himself, which is nothing, after all, it is an opportunity to show off his talents as a prime minister.

Satisfied, she left Queen Nanfang's place. When she reappeared, Heidi Lama had already finished talking with Xia Meng. She didn't know that Alan Wilson was too busy to touch the ground. Except for her young age, she is better than me in no way."

Alan Wilson responded calmly to Heidi Rama's accusation, and immediately stated that except for being young, he was no better than Heidi Rama in any way, and the gap was quite obvious.

"I know it sounds good, you just like those two long legs." Heidi Lama snorted angrily, her face was full of displeasure, "Do you think I'm too old, she is just right? when."

"My dear, jealousy is not a virtue." Alan Wilson said poetically, "Love that is not too passionate lasts long."

His second brother is busy, but it doesn't mean he is not busy. People who think this way are unfair to him. They can only say that they are very busy.

In order to unify the management of the colonies, the United Kingdom merged Malaya and the Straits Settlements, and now it is on the right track.It's time to reverse the car, with the nobility of not leaving difficult problems to the next commissioner.

Alan Wilson included in the report proposals for the new administrative regions of the Kra Isthmus, Nantai and Delin, and the re-establishment of four special cities, Penang, Malacca, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.He considered it for a long time, and decided not to call it a special economic zone, but to call it a special city, so as to show the spirit of originality.

The four special cities, together with all the offshore islands in the Strait of Malacca, were returned to the management of the Straits Settlements, and the High Commissioner of the Straits Settlements was established, which was still subordinate to the Malayan Colony in terms of level.

During this period, Empress Nam Phuong always consulted with her false father, Wilson, about the everlasting King Dai Viet.As the second father, Alan Wilson certainly does not reject in-depth exchanges.

"Keep it a secret from Emperor Bao." Allen Wilson put his arms around Queen Nanfang's delicate body, and revealed a piece of news, "France is under great financial pressure due to the Algeria War. If you want to transfer property, you should start immediately."

"Really?" Empress Nanfang's face was uncertain, and then she said pitifully, "If this is the case, I will depend on you in the future, and you will have to ignore it when the time comes."

"How do you say it? As a fake father, I will definitely take care of your son." Alan Wilson spoke sternly, dissatisfied with his character being doubted.

It is better to transfer property sooner rather than later. If you are late, you will suffer losses. Alan Wilson has reason to do so.He has helped the French a lot, but he just took back the legal wealth of Queen Nanfang's family and assigned it to the British jurisdiction, which is completely reasonable.

With his help for so many years, France did not lose at all, it simply took advantage of it.

During the trip to Singapore, Alan Wilson compiled a comprehensive report, the core of which was to strengthen the assessment of the reactionary feudal forces in the Malaya colonies, and to re-partition Malaya and the Straits Settlements.

At the same time, Heidi Rama took Xia Meng to Paris, the fashion capital, to sign a luxury endorsement contract.

Queen Nanfang's destination was also France. She discussed with her natal family about the transfer of property and worked hard for her son's position as a monarch. Alan Wilson was busy again, welcoming Ms. Bokina, a representative of German overseas investment.

Although his position is humble, he does not dare to forget his personal interests because of public affairs. For the sake of Malaya, it is okay for the imperial commissioner to be tired.

The Burmese government attaches great importance to this industrial transfer, and has set aside a piece of land in the suburbs of Yangon for new factories to attract Malaya Chinese capital. Aung San certainly does not have a good impression of the UK, but compared to the two nearby Huge, the image of the former suzerain country is not so hateful anymore.

"At most two months, the refinery center project will be completed. Commissioner, this is the plan for the establishment of some new departments."

Richard has been very diligent lately at the home of his immediate boss, using every opportunity to prove his reliability.

"We set up a semi-official organization to hide behind the scenes, but the monitoring work cannot be given to the locals, and the civil servants in the colonies are treated like leeks. They are corrupt, and we handle them."

Alan Wilson flipped through Richard's plan and was generally satisfied, "The supervisory department pushes the Chinese to the front, and the police department is the domain of the Malays. Get a few chief inspectors to push out as targets, so that our existence The feeling is reduced.”

For ordinary residents, the police department is the department that best allows them to feel the iron fist of the government. Alan Wilson is very experienced in this, and it is normal to use it as a victim.

These chief inspectors don’t have to worry about being a target. Since they are cutting leeks, they can’t let them die. If they catch enough, they can immigrate to Canada. Now Canada doesn’t even have a maple leaf flag. The national flag is the Union Jack flag of British Canada.

9 Chapter Forty Sir Wilson

"I try not to leave hidden dangers for the next commissioner, and of course I can't predict all emergencies." Alan Wilson sighed and put down the planning book, pointing at Richard's hint.

"Commissioner, I believe that the next commissioner will not let your painstaking efforts be in vain." Richard, who received the hint, immediately opened his mouth to express the reliability of the next commissioner, in fact referring to himself.

"I hope so." Alan Wilson nodded and encouraged, "For the sake of policy consistency, in principle, I should recommend candidates for the next commissioner for Whitehall, Richard, you also know, Alyssa and Edel They are all my subordinates in British India, which is nothing, many of the current district commissioners are. You do not have an advantage, of course you have your own advantages."

As for what the advantage is, Alan Wilson didn't think of it for the time being, but hoped that Richard could understand it by himself, "The next commissioner is not just an easy job. In different time periods, we may face different tests. Of course, even if I leave office, I will try my best to take care of my former subordinates."

Alan Wilson provided an example in front of Richard on how to make it more euphemistic.

Richard obviously understood, and said inside and out that he would be completely loyal to the interests of the British Empire and the Mountbatten Group.

"Very good, you are really reliable. In fact, the most important thing in life is to find your own value. For civil servants as a whole, the British Empire is much more important than the British Isles. This is not the case for elected politicians. They only care about the public opinion of local voters. rather than to the interests of the British Empire as a whole."

"And we have to serve the country for decades, to ensure the smooth operation of the British Empire, to make the right choice in this era of uncertainty, and not to stick to any illusory consciousness. Everything comes first with the national interest!"

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson asked, "Do you think the Chinese are anti-imperialist and anti-feudal enough? Didn't they immediately accept the idea of ​​a [-]-mile exclusive economic zone? They didn't hesitate at all because it was a colonial country's idea. "

Richard nodded. He also admired the immediate boss in front of him. Although there was a foundation laid by the former High Commissioner Gerald Edwards, after Alan Wilson took office, the two terms did not end, and he pulled Malaya into one. An unprecedented position that completely replaced the role of British India.

If it were Richard himself, he thought he couldn't do it. Of course, how many high commissioners are there who are so terrified of Alan Wilson's counter-practice?Is it true that he is a joke when he learns both Chinese and Western, straddling capitalism and socialism?

"Familiarize yourself with the overall work, and consider the role of the Malaya colony from an overall perspective." Alan Wilson yawned. Recently, taking care of public and private affairs has indeed brought a little sense of fatigue.

After Richard left, he held his forehead and sighed. To say that there are no hidden dangers is just bragging. The biggest hidden danger he left behind is the Indonesian issue that he has always thought of.

But this question is difficult, and Alan Wilson also thought about fixing things by himself.

But after thinking about it, I still restrained this impulse. The Strait of Malacca and the Suez Canal are equally important in the world and have such great value. Once an action against Indonesia is planned, it is impossible to predict the consequences. Of course, this is just one of the reasons.

Another more important reason is that if Alan Wilson did it himself, once he encountered a shameful failure, he didn't think about a way out. If he himself was involved, his career in the officialdom would come to an abrupt end.

If it was planned and done by himself, it would be almost difficult for him to separate the ties. You must know that he believes that making Indonesia red is the basis for Britain's long-term stability, but this is a feasible path he has identified based on historical comparisons.

But others definitely don’t see it that way. When Indonesia changes color, can he explain to those who investigate him that only when Indonesia changes color and becomes Britain’s enemy can Britain have an excuse not to leave?Who believes it?

If the operation succeeds and Indonesia changes color, he can’t get rid of the responsibility. If the operation fails and Indonesia does not change color, the United States will pressure the United Kingdom to get out, unless someone replaces it.

In the situation before Alan Wilson, there is no victory, draw or loss, only tie and loss. All he can choose is to put aside his own responsibilities, and then wait for the opportunity to operate.

If all goes well, he succeeds in taking over as the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even if he resigns, he will still be Richard's immediate boss. At that time, he will have the ability to disentangle the responsibility. You can operate with confidence.

This may be a bit unfair to Richard, but fortunately, the person involved did not know it. Now Richard can only experience the extra importance of his immediate boss from Alan Wilson's overt and secret hints.

After all, it was such a long-term plan. Of course, he had to make some secret preparations to ensure that he was not in the Malaya colony, but he could also know the colony well, and he could order it as he needed when he acted.

Pamela Mountbatten returned home with her son in her arms, and Princess Margaret also came back. Princess Margaret was nothing unusual. She also mentioned that there seemed to be many new star posters outside. Judging, it was Xia Meng.

"That female celebrity seems to be very famous in Asia." Princess Margaret said in amazement, "Chinese dream lover? But I've never heard of it."

"With such a large population, even if it doesn't exist now, there will definitely be world-renowned big stars in the future." Alan Wilson replied to his sister-in-law with a smile, but the stars who appear from the Chinese are all specific kung fu stars.

Strictly speaking, there are three influential stars in the world, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

The most famous one is not Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee is very famous as a cultural symbol.But his own influence has been surpassed by Jackie Chan for a long time. As for Jet Li, he is actually far behind the first two.

As for who is more powerful in kung fu, that is another question. We all know that boxing is heavyweight.

"Honey, if there is time, the matter of the title I told you should be finalized." Pamela Mountbatten is not as free as Her Royal Highness, put her son down and said softly, "The news has been confirmed, the cabinet will pass a With this bill, it will not be so easy to confer nobles in the future."

Alan Wilson asked a question with a noncommittal expression, "I am a civil servant. If I have a noble title, will there be any problems in the future?"

"It's definitely okay now. There is no bill that stipulates that hereditary nobles cannot be civil servants." Princess Margaret replied immediately. As a princess of the royal family, no one knows better than him.

"The fact that there is no bill now does not mean that there will be no bills in the future. Bills are all in the hands of the cabinet. If one day, there is such a bill that prevents hereditary nobles from entering the government?" Alan Wilson said, looking at his wife And sister-in-law, "It's not impossible, it's a hidden danger for me."

It is related to the sustainable progress and development of the future. Alan Wilson does not want to have any problems. The simplest worry is that he has offended a female prime minister. Say goodbye, what will we do then?

Alan Wilson remembered that it seemed that the lifelong nobles could not even enter the civil service system.Generally, after retirement, a knighthood is commended, allowing senior civil servants to get a knighthood as a reward.

So he had a conflict with hereditary nobility and never pursued it, but Pamela Mountbatten didn't think so. Once the Nobility Act was passed, it would be difficult to get a title in the future, and her husband was worried about unfavorable factors in his career as a civil servant. At least not yet.

"A baron is not a nobleman." Princess Margaret suddenly said, "A baron can be hereditary, but it is considered a commoner. It is also called a knight in terms of title. Many barons work in the government, and there are thousands of barons. Family, it can be regarded as a large group of people.”

The title of baronet is unique in two respects: Baronetship is a hereditary honor, but not a title of peerage, so baronetship does not have a seat in the House of Lords. ·From the baron to "Jazz" as an honor, but not belong to the "Knight title".

Since barons are not nobles, they have the right to participate in the election of the House of Commons. Therefore, there are many members of the House of Commons who come from barons. Lords belong to nobles, and barons belong to commoners.

"That's it." Pamela Mountbatten immediately agreed when she heard it. She originally wanted to fight for a higher title for her husband. His future was a threat, so he would naturally settle for the next best thing, as long as his husband was happy.

"Actually, I don't care about the title." Alan Wilson said truthfully, thinking that I can play in Great Britain, and there is such a vague group, but he also understands Pamela Mountbatten's obsession and knows that Mountbatten Pamela Mountbatten's pursuit of aristocratic status has nothing to do with him. He tried his best to get the position of the monarch of Sarawak.

"Just think it's for me and the children." Pamela Mountbatten said with a look of longing. She knew that her husband looked at nobles just like commoners. The title of title was not alluring to him, so she decisively played the family card.

"Okay, okay." Alan Wilson nodded indifferently. Since Pamela Mountbatten has made arrangements, how can a mere son-in-law of him have the right to object? The cabinet will see if it can pass.

In his eyes, this matter is much more important than what a Lord is from a Baron.If it goes well, he can safely launch his sprint to the position of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Chapter 941 The Key Question

"Oh, then come here, okay." Alan Wilson hung up the phone, stretched out his hands to brush his hair, his face was full of smiles, Pamela Mountbatten withdrew her loving eyes from her children, and said Ask, "Richard? He seems to always come here with an excuse lately."

"He is looking for an opportunity to prove his reliability." Alan Wilson stretched his waist, and then put his arm on his wife's shoulder. "I think he has found the key problem now."

"Do you want me to avoid it?" Pamela Mountbatten, leaning on her husband's arms, looked up and asked about her role.

"No, I think the purpose of his coming has something to do with you." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "Prepare a bottle of whiskey."

The head of the administrative bureau, who was determined to benefit the society on a larger level, came to the home of his immediate boss in a hurry.

Richard has been quite busy recently, dealing with various levels, but he is absolutely full of energy.

"I have already seen the logistics support projects of the Armored Division and the Marine Division, and they are very good." He politely poured a glass for Richard, and Alan Wilson raised his glass as a gesture. , at least the officers and soldiers of the British Horse Army have left a good impression on you."

"They call me the good man Richard now." Richard reservedly praised himself, but changed the topic, "Of course, this is all under the leadership of the commissioner, and there are some insignificant achievements."

"You're still careful." Allen Wilson said that the good man Richard is not a good title, and he praised him with random compliments, "The body shape of the local people is different from ours. The new custom-made military uniforms take into account the difference in body shape. This is all thanks to you."

Restricted by objective conditions, Chinese are required to have a height of 1.6 meters 1.6 in terms of conscription conditions, and Malays are even lower, [-] meters [-], which is not a low standard.

After all, due to geographical factors, the Chinese who went to the Malaya colonies were all southerners, and the top-notch people from the three eastern provinces and Shandong would not come to Nanyang.

According to the feedback from the intelligence network in Indonesia, the average Indonesian man is less than 1.6 meters. This survey was conducted by Alan Wilson when he was free.

Anyway, the entire Malayan colony now knows that Indonesians are short, and various jokes have been made to ridicule the height of Indonesians. This is just a small job in the career of High Commissioner Allen Wilson.

If you make military uniforms for colonial soldiers according to the figure of the British, there must be problems with the fit.Even with the same height, white people look stronger than yellow people, while white people of the same height weigh more, while yellow people look slimmer.

There are objective differences in the body, just like black people have more striking body proportions, and muscles are more likely to appear when exercising.

"The High Commissioner should have an understanding of the communities under his administration and pay attention to what they care about." Alan Wilson said this change of subject, "and find a place to balance it."

After a glass of wine, Richard took out the assessment of the hydropower system in Peninsular Malaysia from among the civil servants he carried with him, "The data of the hydropower system are all here. We all believe that we need a strong and image Good group to operate the hydropower system in Peninsular Malaysia.”

"Oh, is there such a group?" Alan Wilson handed the evaluation report to his wife sitting next to him.

Pamela Mountbatten was overjoyed and said happily, "Richard still found the key problem..."

"Go upstairs and take a look." Alan Wilson felt that his wife was not calm, and greeted him with a blank stare.

But immediately Pamela Mountbatten went upstairs with the assessment report, leaving space for two men who were talking about business, but did not forget to promise, "Director Richard, our group is going to join the car manufacturers to change the colonial government at half price. With a car, the new Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is more suitable for your level, I will contact the country and deliver it by sea."

"Hey!" Alan Wilson stroked his forehead and said to his subordinates, "I made you laugh."

"No, it's nothing." Richard swallowed. He was actually very envious of the car his immediate boss didn't drive very much.

"I mean, in fact, it doesn't have to be in the field of buses. The country's is only for the country. At the critical moment, you have to have it yourself. Pamela still doesn't think about it." Alan Wilson handed out a jelly bean, and What is a silver cloud compared with the hydropower operation rights of the Malaya colonies?

"What do you think of the current level of development of the Malayan colony and its importance to the British Empire? If various potential threats arise, what do you think? If you are the chief executive, how will you compete with neighboring countries?"

Alan Wilson, knowing that his career as a commissioner of mind was coming to an end, had many questions about the successor of the investigation.He believed that Richard already had the answers to most of the questions in his heart.

"In terms of the degree of radiation to Southeast Asia, we have a geographical advantage over Japan. The commissioner has initially opened up the Myanmar market, which is a good start. If I am the chief executive, I will naturally continue to expand the results."

Richard sat upright, expressing his views, while secretly observing the face of his immediate boss.Patting our chests to continue the Malayan miracle.

"The geographical advantage is indeed the biggest advantage that the Malayan colony can rely on. At the same time, it can also cooperate with Xiangjiang in import and export. It is a pity that Portuguese Goa is on the west coast of India instead of the east coast, but this is not harmful. In short, we There is access to the two markets with the largest populations in the world."

Alan Wilson replied with satisfaction, "As for other directions, with the current level of development of the Malaya colonies, excluding Indonesia, there is already a gap of two to seven times with the surrounding areas. If it is not for the crushing manpower advantage , this gap is almost unshakable. From the data point of view, the closest is the Philippines. But you don’t have to worry, there are hundreds of political families in the Philippines that are linked by regions, just like the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, even if it is If there are no problems now, there will be problems in the future. If there are flaws in your tenure, you must seize the opportunity."

"If there is an opportunity, there are Chinese people in Southeast Asia, and they will use this as a medium to spread the British influence."

As the conversation started, the two put down their wine glasses and prepared to go for a walk, and the topic further touched on the security of the colony.

"We have three potential threats. One is farther away, the Suez Canal. If I have the ability, I will help you solve the problem, but for the remaining two, I can only help."

Allen Wilson gave the opportunity face to face. Simply put, I was obedient to China, and I punched hard against Indonesia.

"After all, there is an ocean, and through Mr. Lin, it is not impossible to talk about it." Alan Wilson expressed the idea that I can be patriotic and talk about it at a critical moment. "Even if there is a conflict, it will be a confrontation of public opinion. The bottom line is, we say what they say."

This point involves Richard's blind spots in knowledge. Although he has a great language talent, he has learned Chinese in a short time, and there is no language barrier to communicate with Chinese, but it is difficult to get closer.

"When it comes to the security of the Malayan colonies, only magic can be used to defeat magic. The Chinese have a set of rhetoric from ancient times. The loophole of this rhetoric is that it cannot be traced back indefinitely, otherwise all countries will choose the time when their territory is the largest. That is not Messed up? From their point of view, fortunately, the Qing Dynasty was the period when they had the largest territory, and this set of rhetoric is in their favor."

Alan Wilson knew very well that the foundation since ancient times was on the territory of the Qianlong period, and this set of rhetoric is beneficial to Britain because at that time Britain was already an empire on which the sun never sets.

"Once there is such a public opinion attack, change the country and send it out without changing the word. We will say what they say."

"Since ancient times?" Richard hesitated to speak, he felt that this rhetoric was very unreasonable.

But it is the most beneficial. Alan Wilson seems to have seen the doubts of his subordinates, "When they were the largest, it happened to be the largest in Britain. Whose ancestors were not rich?"

"When it comes to the security of the Malaya colonies and even Xiangjiang, we must let them know what we really think, and let us know what they think, so as to help avoid strategic misjudgments."
