"That's the truth, but as a civil servant, dear, you still don't want to say it." Pamela Mountbatten asked softly, "Counting Middle East investment, Xiangjiang, and Malaya, how many assets do you control. "

Although this huge wealth is not his own, Pamela Mountbatten cares just as much.

"If the Governor of Hong Kong does not set up obstacles, it will be enough for five years of military expenditure. Forget..." Alan Wilson patted his head and said distressedly, "The military expenditure has already increased, and now it is only enough for four years of military expenditure."

"Eight billion pounds? That's an incredible number." Pamela Mountbatten reached out and grabbed her husband's cheek, pretending to be wronged and whispered, "It's twice my property, you won't abandon me when the time comes Bar."

This look is very contrived, without the demeanor of the richest woman, Alan Wilson couldn't help but give his wife the look of looking for reasons, and said to himself, "This is it for the time being, the investment in Australia and the UK will not be included in the scope of control for the time being." .”

Alan Wilson feels that this move to expand the scope of control can increase the establishment of some business units...

The Overseas Assets Management Committee is a strictly defined professional department, and it is inevitable to maintain a streamlined style. After expanding the scope of management and control, it is enough to create 1,500 jobs.

If the establishment is further expanded, there will be disadvantages of overstaffed institutions, which is not conducive to economic development.

"I have already sent someone to pick up Princess Badia and show her the few islands that are decent in size. If she is interested, even if she has no money, we can keep it for the emirs in the Middle East. ’” Pamela Mountbatten no longer cared about her husband’s unfinished work, but focused on her own affairs.

Alan Wilson nodded. It is more appropriate for his wife to come forward to establish a connection with the royal family in the Middle East.

Now he is discussing with Richard about the marriage system. Malays in Malaya can marry four wives. How do the Chinese look at it? In theory, they are monogamous, but in fact there is no limit.

However, Alan Wilson did not want to abolish the Great Qing Law, but he also wanted to balance the huge advantages of the upper class in this regard.

"Continuing to implement the current marriage system will cause problems sooner or later. Let's adapt it. If a man has one wife, there are still multiple women with the same status as his wife. He should get some key considerations in taxation. Can People who can marry more than one woman can’t say all of them, but they all have a lot of value. It is more appropriate to restrain from this point.”

"As for ordinary residents, in principle we do not agree to marry more than two women. If there is a local resident as a partner, the second marriage cannot be with a Malayan resident. Malays can find Indonesians who smuggled over. , Whether the Chinese residents are looking for South Vietnam, Thailand or the Philippines, it has nothing to do with us."

"If it is violated, it will also be taxed like the wealthy upper class. This is used to achieve de facto monogamy without abolishing the Qing law and Islamic law. To prevent angering the two major ethnic groups in Malaya conservatives."

The Kuala Lumpur High Commission, Richard and Alan Wilson, revolved around the discussion on how to persuade, not to impose impersonal laws, to achieve the purpose of balancing the relationship between men and women.

When the Peace Sect expanded in the agricultural era, it was not all due to the Kuaima Machete. The different tax rates for peace believers and pagans allowed the Arabs to eradicate the Christians in the Mediterranean and the soil of the Zoroastrianism in the Middle East in one fell swoop.

"Sounds good." Richard nodded with satisfaction, "and it can achieve a similar purpose to case law."

"Maybe it can also lead to the marriage between the justices of the peace in Malaya and people of the same status in neighboring countries."

Alan Wilson said with a smile, "In fact, once this kind of marriage occurs, we can use our personal connections to enter Thailand, South Vietnam, and even the Philippines. Recreating a British India will take shape. In fact, if you think about it carefully, these overseas Chinese are not Who can rely on the United Kingdom? Only by seeking our protection can we live in safety."

There are individuals who betray the class, and there is no class who betrays the class. On the whole, Alan Wilson believes that the comprador group he raised is reliable. Without the injection and protection of British capital, they will never develop and grow.

Now is the time for these compradors who have been cared for and thrived to give back, helping British capital and the United Kingdom enter the interior of these countries and turn them upside down from the inside.

Of course, this requires the Chinese ethnic group to play a social role, selfless work and dedication, and to achieve the goal with conscientious pricing and excellent products. Only in this way can the Chinese in other Southeast Asian countries be able to play a role.

The fact that the Chinese are wealthier than the locals in Southeast Asia has something to do with their own quality.

But in the eyes of Alan Wilson, the main factor is the result of the colonists borrowing the Chinese to suppress the locals. It's like the life of many Indians in the British colonies is much better than that of the locals.

If this is not recognized, how can the colonists evacuate, not show their valuable qualities, and compete with the local main ethnic group? It's not that you can't fight.

Colonialism needs agents, and the number of natives is insufficient, which is a common means of global colonists.

After choosing and choosing, the only people in Southeast Asia who were most suitable to be the agents of the colonists at that time were the Chinese. Because the Chinese have been developing in Southeast Asia for a long time, they are very familiar with various situations in Southeast Asia, and before the Europeans came, some Chinese with status were already doing things for the local rulers, mainly as their liaison with China. Trade middlemen, and then help the local ruler manage other Chinese and collect taxes from them, because tax collection has always been annoying.

In the colonial era, economic power could not be touched by the locals, otherwise there would be a basis for overthrowing the colonial rule with money.

Alan Wilson also implemented this principle after the war, giving the majority of the land to the Malays to appease them, and then vigorously supported the Chinese compradors to occupy high positions in the Malayan economy.

Soon, Alan Wilson and dozens of justices of the peace met again, and said straight to the point, "To be honest, with the population and area of ​​Malaya, without the support of the United Kingdom, it would not be a big problem for any country in Southeast Asia. Advantages. The British transferred industries and shaped Malaya today. Otherwise, Malaya with 16 million people has no reason to compare with Thailand with 27 million people, the Philippines with 26 million people, and Malaya with three million people. Vietnam with a population of tens of millions is strong."

"But with the 50 million people in the UK, it can overwhelm any country in Southeast Asia. Even Indonesia, with a population of nearly 100 million, is no problem. The Royal Pacific Fleet can prove how true and reliable my words are."

"Master Zhongtang, what can we do for you?" Su Yang looked at the companions around him and said, "Here are all our own people."

"I just like to talk to my own people. In a sense, some countries say that we are right to oppress the locals, but without us, can you stand firm? The Soviets said that we must build a world where everyone is equal. But now The level of science and technology is far from that day, and the world like a pyramid will continue to operate for a long time."

Alan Wilson said with a heartfelt heart, "Some people say that the British rule you, but in fact this can also be changed. I think it can be transformed into the British and Malaya ruling Southeast Asia. We have technology and the army, and you have ready-made connections. We Borrowing your connections, no country in Southeast Asia can resist. If you suppress the development of these countries at one level, then the whole of Southeast Asia will not be in your hands?"

"If there is such a day, we will naturally follow the example of Lord Zhongtang." Gu Ke expressed his loyalty sincerely, and was willing to go through fire and water for Britain.

"What's the right thing to do? We're all on our own." Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "If I have a good heir, I'm sure you'll get married, and then we can advance and retreat together."

He really has, has Xia Meng's child been born? In the past few months, I was a little confused by the Americans in the Middle East. I forgot the due date of delivery. What will it be called? Xia Wei? Xia Xun? Charles, no, that's de Gaulle's name.

At the same time, Pamela Mountbatten, who was on the battleship, pointed out the direction for Princess Badia with a telescope, "Natuna Island also has an area of ​​2,000 square kilometers. There are still some islands like Malaya. If in the Middle East When the climate is hot, the princess and the regent can’t stand the yellow sand, so they can come anytime. These islands in Malaya can become a vacation place for the emirs.”

"The scenery looks good." Princess Badia took the telescope and looked at the island~lightnovelpub.net~ The first impression was good, "Is the UK going to sell these islands to us?"

"It's not about selling sovereignty, but ownership. It is used to build stronger relationships with the emirs of the Kingdom of Iraq, the Kingdom of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, etc., and advance and retreat together."

Pamela Mountbatten said in high spirits, "From the worst point of view, if there is a revolution one day, you will also have a place of refuge, and Pahlavi will not have this treatment."

"We really should have a good discussion on this issue." Princess Badia smiled all over her face. "Pamela, you know that the Kingdom has always cherished its relationship with Britain. I also admire you very much."

"The UK still has a few small aircraft carriers. If the princess can facilitate a deal for several emirates?" It is enough to say this, and Pamela Mountbatten believes that Princess Badia can understand.

"My intricate network of relationships." Alan Wilson patted his forehead and sighed involuntarily.

"My intricate network of relationships..." Almost at the same time, Pamela Mountbatten and her husband in Kuala Lumpur both sighed in exactly the same way.
