"Oh, Alan, although you were in India before, your suggestion to Malaya is also very constructive." When the Malayan Commissioner, Gerald Edward, heard the other party's self-introduction, he directly extended his hand to express his friendliness.

Of course, this is not all for Alan Wilson. To be precise, it is to sell General Mountbatten's face. This has to start from the beginning. As we all know, General Mountbatten was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia during the war!

After the surrender of Japan, Mountbatten also surrendered in Singapore. When Alan Wilson first returned to Europe, Mountbatten was the highest military commander in British Malaya until he returned to serve in the Mediterranean Fleet. Malaya is under military rule.

Before Gerald Edward, and before Mountbatten was de-married, there was still a Governor-General of British Malaya. But when it was Gerald Edward's turn to take office, the Governor of British Malaya was revoked and Gerald Edward became the High Commissioner in his place.

Now there are continuous protests here, especially in the nearby Dutch East Indies. Although it is not a military administration in name, it has great rights to station the British army, and the local British army used to be the subordinates of General Mountbatten.

With this kind of relationship, it was not Alan Wilson's turn to take the initiative to protect his house and bring General Mountbatten out.

Alan Wilson did not expect that he came to Malaya, which he was thinking of, but he came here in this capacity. Although he was named a Governor, he knew better than anyone that London did not take Newfoundland seriously, or else Would not put the appointment of the Boston consul in the first place.

"Alan, are you going to the Governor of Newfoundland?" Gerald Edward was equally surprised when he heard Alan Wilson's appointment, but immediately said, "It's a very difficult place, and it's not easy to get results. things."

"I know, that's why I thought about looking for help before I went." Alan Wilson smiled bitterly while holding his forehead, "Newfoundland's manpower shortage is very serious, even if there is no war, it can't be called manpower abundance. That's what I came to Malaya for, to form a labor force to develop it."

If you want to summarize it more accurately, it can also be called the Newfoundland Production and Construction Corps, and its approximate functions are similar.

Gerald Edward pondered for a while, and solemnly reminded, "Alan, the local white people live there. If you bring a large number of Chinese workers into the area, it is likely to stimulate the rebellious psychology of the local residents. If a colony does not Stability, no development can be talked about, take Malaya as an example, if tens of thousands of British troops are not watching, things will become very troublesome.”

"Of course I won't let the Chinese workers settle there. It's just a short-term development. Let them come back when Newfoundland gets over the hardship." Alan Wilson flatly denied, saying that he would never make such a mistake of principle.

Alan Wilson has a clear understanding of this kind of behavior. If in his previous life, his hometown had only a hundred thousand residents, and 10,000 black people came in and settled down, would he be willing? Of course not willing.

Therefore, the conditions were set for 10,000 Chinese workers to live in Newfoundland. Even if Newfoundland had a favorable impression of the United Kingdom, it would immediately become independent.

Therefore, this recruitment to Newfoundland is, by definition, a large-scale work abroad, which is not the home of the Chinese. After running out, the Chinese will naturally come back.

This attitude will not change because of his identity. If it is not good, it may appear in the history books as a negative image.

"Didn't the prisoners of war build 100,000 apartments in Malaya? How about picking a few settlements and letting me handle them. It's empty anyway." Alan Wilson explained, "I'm not asking for nothing, wait until these The Chinese workers made money from the development of Newfoundland, and they paid for these apartments without hurting the local colonial government.”

Alan Wilson is ready to promise real estate as a condition for this trip to work abroad. Of course, if it is not enough, he can pay in installments. Anyway, these apartments were also built by prisoners of war from the Japanese Southern Army. In principle, the cost is not large.

Besides, the apartment building is to be sold. Whoever sells it is not selling it. Anyway, the prisoners of war have not been repatriated, and the big deal is that they are under construction. It is not a pity that such an obedient and hard-working prisoner of war should be put back.

Alan Wilson is also for the good of these Japanese. Now Japan is not having a good time, and the Korean War has not broken out. At present, Japan is still in a state of starvation and feasting. As far as Japan's domestic resources are concerned, it is not as good as the British Malayan colony.

"It's not impossible." Gerald Edward frowned. In principle, this is not a problem. After the apartment is built, it will be sold. Select a few settlements and leave them to sell to those who need it. What's the problem? "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to gather enough people."

"Isn't Malaya's law for the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty? Directly issued an announcement saying that corvée is to be recruited, and the Chinese will definitely understand what it means, and the first batch will be screened. I will screen the rest!" Allen Wilson could not meet 10,000 people one by one by himself, and he had to let the Malayan colonial government screen it first.

The number of people should not be a problem. Since Hong Kong returned to British rule in 1945, the border has been undefended. Instead, refugees entering Hong Kong are thrown into Malaya. Every year, tens of thousands of refugees cross the border. It's been almost three years.

This is far from the peak period. The three major battles have not yet been fought. The further south the front is, the more people will be there.

When asked about the local Malays' views on the integration of the Chinese, Gerard Edward said, "Of course he was dissatisfied. At first, it was quite violent, but since the Netherlands bombed Jakarta with battleships, thousands of people died. After that, it calmed down a little bit, plus many people were exiled to the Andaman Islands on charges of being pro-Soviet elements, and it seems that the attitude has changed in the last year."

"According to the lessons of British India, we must maintain a balance between the two major ethnic groups. The emergence of the province will have the same consequences as the Congress Party." Alan Wilson was about to laugh out loud, "If a nuclear bomb is developed in China, the testing ground will be Just put it in Malaya, and invite people with heads and faces from the two ethnic groups to observe it in person."

Talking about the situation of Xiangjiang, the two chatted for a while. Alan Wilson said that Xiangjiang is a window, and it is not worth investing effort. It is enough to make a pipeline for delivering nutrients to Malaya. The place where the booger is big Doesn't help the UK.

The British rule of Hong Kong is a typical example of making the most of everything, and its typical performance is an overheated financial market and soaring housing prices.

In the era before the economy developed, the British-funded consortium had an absolute advantage in the fields of finance, real estate and public utilities by virtue of its monopoly position and privileges. With the rise of the economy, the British capital was expanding.

British-owned companies also monopolize the land business as colonial land owners, and sell them at high prices to get rich land income, which is impossible in the UK anyway.

In a prosperous economy, the most profitable industries are finance and real estate, so they have become the best way for British capital to expand, and the stock market has also entered an irrational exuberance.

However, this kind of overheating of the financial industry is an equal opportunity for no one. In the long run, the Chinese will naturally accumulate enough capital to challenge the status of British-owned enterprises. Of course, in the 1990s, 30% of the valuation of the Hong Kong stock market, a total of more than 1,000 companies were still British-owned.

Alan Wilson insisted that Hong Kong is not important, and Malaya should be the focus of development. Gerald Edward also strongly agrees, after all, he is the High Commissioner of Malaya, and he still understands where to eat.

"By the way, the people I am looking for are Chinese, not local Chinese in Malaya." Alan Wilson added with a pat on his head, "Compared to some Chinese who already regard themselves as natives of Malaya, I am still more Trust the Chinese. What the British Empire needs is assistance to colonize Malaya, not the Chinese who are in sympathy with the Malays. When people come to stand together, they will be treated like Malays, they are not afraid of death, are we afraid of wasting bullets?"

"Okay, I'll make an official announcement tomorrow." Gerald Edward instinctively agreed, still thinking about Alan Wilson's words.

The next day, the British Malaya Commissioner's Office officially issued an announcement, citing the provisions of the Qing law on the conscription of corvée~lightnovelpub.net~ Men who meet the standards go to the colonial institution to report to the colonial institution, and they will be reprimanded three days later and fined ten days later. The British army all over the place to carry out auxiliary work!

"If I had more time, I would never have moved Daqing Law out to scare them." Alan Wilson was smoking half a cigarette, watching the telegrams sent to Gerald Edward from all over the world, "Don't look at their opposition now, If you really have a house, you will have more savings, and you will have more savings than the average person. Maybe they will be the ones who oppose the abolition of the Great Qing Law."

"Is it because of how many wives I can marry?" Gerard Edward said with a smile, "It should be the reason."

"Oh, don't say that, there is only one wife, and there can be many mistresses." Alan Wilson corrected calmly, and then sighed, "Excellent traditions should indeed be carried forward. How about binding it up? If there is too much opposition, it will be abolished at the same time. Of course, this difficulty may be higher."

Alan Wilson thought it was such a good idea that neither law could be repealed.

He couldn't choose the Chinese workers in person one by one. Naturally, he needed the Malayan colonial agency to conduct some screening. He would check the rest as much as possible. In the second round of screening, Alan Wilson proposed a condition. , age, character and occupation, it is best to be a soldier, and those who meet the conditions can be selected to be managers.
