Now the British Empire is the post-war Big Three, the Royal Navy is still the second largest in the world, and there are still massive colonies. But just lack of money, how difficult is the domestic economy in the UK?

Historically, the rationing system in Britain ended in 1954 after the end of World War II. It had been nine years since the surrender. Most of the battlefield was on its own territory. The Soviet Union, which killed nearly 30 million people, was killed in 1949 That's the end of the rationing system.

In the 1950s, France and Germany successively surpassed Britain in per capita income, a phenomenon never seen since the beginning of the colonial era.

You must know that in World War I, Germany only had half of the per capita income of Britain, and France, known as usurer imperialism, was only a little more than half of it. In the entire European continent, only the small Netherlands, which was supported by the entire Dutch East Indies, could compare with Britain.

In terms of the proportion of industry, Germany's industrial production capacity during World War II was nearly twice that of the United Kingdom. However, in the first year of mobilization, the United Kingdom's arms production exceeded that of Germany, which has twice its own industrial production capacity, and this process occurred in just one year. completed within a few years.

Among the main warring countries, the mobilization rate of the United Kingdom even surpassed that of the Soviet Union. Perhaps only Bulgaria during World War I was more desperate than Britain in World War II.

After five years of general mobilization to such a degree, the blow to the national economy was enormous, even greater than that of the Soviet Union, whose homeland was reduced to a battlefield.

What is a wartime economy? It is to distort the economic laws, and all resources revolve around war; overdraft the future of the national economy to serve the war, which cannot be sustainable.

The general mobilization is not a productive force that comes out of thin air, it is completely exchanged for the future. The stronger the mobilization rate, the more difficult it will be to get out. The mobilization rate of the UK is stronger than that of the Soviet Union, and the more time it takes to adjust.

The current British Empire cannot even temporarily suppress the huge colonies for a long time.

Historically, it was not until the end of the rationing system in 1954 that Britain tried to maintain the face of the British Empire. The Suez Canal War was the last time Britain saved the colonial empire.

Prime Minister Attlee wants to get rid of British India for reconstruction, and Alan Wilson wants to maximize the benefits in this process. The common point is that any knife to British India will benefit the British mainland.

"If the price is right, I'll advise the Prime Minister." Edward Bridges agreed, and every dollar is precious to London, especially now that US aid has been cut off.

When did the British Empire warm up with newspapers in countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands, and now don't they start doing it like this? Since Alan Wilson returned to Europe, he has been spreading the words that use the colony to cash in and supplement the local speech. Now there is a certain market among the civil servants.

Since it is necessary to get rid of the burden and let the colony become independent, then in the process of realizing it as much as possible, there is nothing wrong with the higher price.

"I believe that the Junagad country will fully realize the goodwill of the Empire." Alan Wilson patted his chest, he must buy these German submarines at a good price.

"Alan, go and talk to the Dutch about the ultimate goal of the Dutch East Indies, and what is the worst assumption." Edward Bridges nodded and handed Alan Wilson another task.

Since the colonial countries support each other, it is necessary to make it clear that the Netherlands, which is going to launch military operations, has a clear plan to maintain transparency in military operations, and the British side can also cooperate.

Otherwise, I don't know what the purpose of the Netherlands is, and the United Kingdom should not intervene too much. After all, it is a colony of the Netherlands. Once you do, you're likely to get burned.

When I realized that my superiors were very optimistic about my spirit, Alan Wilson took the initiative to go to the Dutch with a turbulent mood.

It is not incomprehensible that the British Empire, which owes a lot of debt, can think of selling jet engines to the Soviet Union.

"Mr. Allen, of course we want to return to Asia and continue to rule in the East Indies." The Dutch representative George Armand was also quite surprised by the arrival of Allen Wilson. When did the British become so understanding .

"Isn't there any record? For example, if things don't go well, the bottom line is that the investment is too large and the effect is not significant." Alan Wilson even said with gestures, after all, the suzerain country is returning to Asia, without a detailed plan will it be too playful some?

Or look at people with the old eyes? Do you think the national leaders of the Far East are still at the level of the original three-legged cat?

Then Alan Wilson must give the Dutch a shot. In his heart, he hopes that the Netherlands will not be in vain, at least get more than history, otherwise he will not change history in the slightest?

Yu Gong, once the Netherlands is defeated, all the pressure will be on the UK. For private purposes, British Malaya is a backup plan for British India appointed by the imperial overseas civil servants. No one wants to see the place they manage, and they are harassed every three days.

Alan Wilson remembers that the Indonesian version has existed since ancient times. The basic logic is that Indonesia and Malaysia have been a unified country since ancient times. It was just the evil Western colonizers who took apart the unified Indonesia and artificially became two. nation.

In fact, Indonesia was a pro-Soviet country before the CIA killed Sukarno and the Indonesian Communist Party in one fell swoop. You must know that there is a very famous Bandung Conference, which is the Asian-African Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia by government delegations of Asian and African countries and regions.

This is the first time that Asian and African countries and regions have participated without the participation of colonial powers. A large international conference to discuss the vital interests of the peoples of Asia and Africa. This meeting was also called the Bandung Conference because it was held in Bandung.

Bandung is the city of Indonesia, which shows the tendency of Indonesia. During the Sukarno period, Indonesia has been committed to unifying Indonesia and annexing British Malaya with the support of the Soviet Union.

Then Alan Wilson knew this future, and naturally he had to crack it from scratch. In theory, the Dutch repression of the Dutch East Indies was a great success, which was in the best interests of the British Empire.

Because the Netherlands itself is a small European country after all, it will not have an impact on the influence of the British Empire.

But Alan Wilson also knew that it was precisely because of the weak national strength of the Netherlands that it was difficult to keep such a large Dutch East Indies. There was not even a strict plan. He had to sit down and have a good talk with the Dutch. .

"Mr. George, maybe you should have heard that the Japanese army deliberately armed Indonesian resisters before surrendering." Alan Wilson sat down slowly and said in a heavy tone, "I came back from British India, you are willing to listen to me What's your view on Asia?"

"Mr. Allen, the relationship between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom has always been very harmonious. I will listen carefully to your views on the East." George Armand was slightly embarrassed, and it seemed that the Netherlands was slightly less prepared.

"It can't be talked about harmony, but compared to the hatred between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom before, in all colonies, we have a common identity that is colonizers." Alan Wilson gently waved his hands, "The theme of this meeting is , How to keep the interests in the hands of Europe today, everyone must show solidarity on the issue of colonies, then I will tell the information I have first."

Before Japan's decision to surrender, the Japanese troops stationed in India received secret instructions from the Japanese mainland, requiring them to hand over their weapons and equipment to the local Indonesian national independence movement and instigate a revolution among the Indonesians, causing them to create chaos for the Allied forces. The Japanese army stationed in India sent a message to the whole of Indonesia on the establishment of the Indonesian Independence Preparation Committee the next day.

After talking about the Japanese armed Indonesian independent armed forces, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "I can send a telegram to New Delhi immediately and order the Indian Army to land on Java Island to buy time for the Dutch army to arrive. But in the end, the Dutch army can If the independent forces cannot be successfully suppressed, it is not something that external forces can help, and of course theoretically, the British Empire hopes that the Netherlands can succeed."

"The Netherlands is very grateful to the British Empire for its support in important decisions concerning the civilized world." When George Armand heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Don't be too happy, I still have something to say. Japan's rampage in Asia is a fluke~lightnovelpub.net~ Whatever it is, the impact can be extremely bad. Many indigenous people in Southeast Asia, affected by Japan's defeat of European countries, no longer have a psychological awe of us, this is the most terrifying place." Alan Wilson let out a sigh of relief, and asked George Armand not to thank it too early. "That was the case with British India, and I believe the situation in the East Indies will only get worse."

"The British Empire will of course support the Netherlands as much as possible, just as we support the return of France to Vietnam. But the difficulties may be more serious than you two countries think. So I have some personal advice." Alan Wilson said He was hesitant at the time, but finally made up his mind and said, "If you want to maintain an order that is beneficial to Europe, you may not be able to use a bit of ruthlessness. I hope the Netherlands can be mentally prepared and have a backup plan. When it comes to the dominion of the entire Dutch East Indies, it can be registered, for example, it may be much easier to cut down the island with the largest area, the least population and the least resistance capacity in Indonesia.”

Having just learned the advanced experience from the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson turned around and stood in front of the Dutch, talking about the advantages of partition and even implying that Kalimantan is actually very good. As the largest island in the Dutch East Indies, its population is only one tenth that of the Dutch East Indies.

If it is impossible to maintain Dutch rule in the entire Dutch East Indies, then the separation of Kalimantan to focus on business will also receive the support of the British Empire.
