British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 534: MCA

"Commissioner, this is the order of population statistics issued by Commissioner Gerrard before he left." Soon after arriving at the Malayan Commission, Eder brought the results of the population statistics in British Malaya, as well as the current distribution of rubber plantations, tin mines distribution and capacity data.

"The people from De La Rue will be here in the next two days. You will receive them first." Alan Wilson took a glass of water and took a sip. "The two parts of Malaya will be officially merged to form the Federation of Malaya. Both Malaysia and East Malaysia need a commissioner, and the subordinates also have state commissioners, otherwise I wouldn’t have to bring dozens of people to the post.”

Eder nodded, a look of joy flashed across his face, such a large colony, it seems that the High Commissioner of Malaya is preparing to establish a direct jurisdiction, so it seems that no matter which part of the colony it goes, it seems that this colony will definitely have its own place. .

While speaking, Alyssa walked in with a charming step and said, "Commissioner, what do you think of Brunei?"

"Find a way to bring Brunei into the federation, but there is no need to worry about this for the time being." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "There are currently nine sultans in Malaya, and if Brunei is added, there are ten. What about five-to-five? These are all things to consider, so we can't come and set up one directly, right?"

In fact, the king of Sarawak has returned, and Alan Wilson has not been counted for the time being. Consideration cannot always be based on the smoothest predictions. After all, it must be considered from multiple perspectives.

"The people who greeted us, go to the conference room to prepare for the meeting." Alan Wilson put down the statistics and immediately called the subordinates who came to Malaya this time for a meeting, "Probably there must be a charter, and we are not here to travel. Yes, Whitehall has high hopes for our work, and of course it is not without favorable conditions, the anti-British forces can be said to be gradually waning."

With the influx of a large number of Chinese into Malaya, the anti-British forces have indeed diminished a lot in the short term. This has to take into account the different perceptions. The Malays think this is their land, and of course they are resistant to the British colonial rule.

However, with Alan Wilson's operation like the Fed opening the floodgates and releasing water, the Chinese rose rapidly, and as the two ethnic groups began to compete evenly, at this time, the mentality of the Malays changed.

Now the Malays are not thinking about taking back their due rights, but whether they can suppress the Chinese after the British leave. Of course, this question is ultimately blamed on Alan Wilson.

Since 1945, the Xiangjiang River has been made undefended, not only that the wall is not built, but the wall is about to be demolished. Strictly speaking, the ratio of Chinese and Malays is not half of the family. There are actually more Chinese than Malays, and there are many more.

This is also the result of forcing Thailand to cede the Isthmus of Kra, adding one million Malays. In the case of the Kra Isthmus, within five years the Malays were still in the minority.

After Thailand was forced to cede the Kra Isthmus in 1945, the Malay population grew to 3.7 million. There are more than 1.9 million Chinese. The Malays must not have imagined that at that time, it was already the peak of the Malays, and the situation in the next four years will turn sharply.

At present, British Malaya, which includes the eastern and western parts with an area of ​​nearly 500,000 square kilometers, has a population of 5.9 million Chinese and 3.7 million Malays. The Chinese surpassed 2.2 million.

However, this is not a very important matter. At the following meeting, Alan Wilson reminded the subordinates of the left and right, "Don't forget the population of the Dutch island of Kalimantan, the population of Kalimantan of eight million, the large Part of it is under the rule of the Netherlands. There are still 1.9 million people in Xiangjiang. This matter is very simple. If there is more water, add more noodles. The population of the ethnic group. Vietnam is still at war, and we can talk to the French to introduce the population of South Vietnam as Chinese. There will never be one ethnic group that dominates.”

Talking about the population issue, Alan Wilson officially entered the working state, "Below me, two regional commissioners will be set up in East Malaysia and West Malaysia, state commissioners will be set up in each state, and economic development offices will be established. Do you want to take a look at my other one This appointment? Deputy Secretary General of the Overseas Assets Management Committee?"

No one answered, Alan Wilson Shi Shiran said, "The secretariat has formulated the itinerary for the next week. I want to meet Chinese leaders, local Sudanese, local managers of British-owned enterprises, stationed in the British army, and Alyssa, please help me. Contact the garrison, there is one thing in the country that involves the military, you should work hard before you become the West Malaysia Commissioner."

"Understood!" Alyssa closed the document in front of her and agreed happily, "Actually, maybe it will be easier to talk to Pamela."

"Uh!" Alan Wilson gave Alyssa a warning with his eyes, and then reluctantly said, "Talk about it, she will help to find out."

Who made General Mountbatten the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia? The British troops stationed there were once under General Mountbatten.

According to the "Emperor's Letter" and "Royal Order", the commander of the British army in the colony is equivalent to the administrative commissioner of the colonial government. He often attends the executive meeting and has a greater influence on the government's decision-making.

The current commander of the British army in Malaya is Lieutenant General Bilton Walker, who has jurisdiction over the British army stationed in Malaya. Of course, this is not all, and he cannot manage the affairs of the Pacific Fleet.

The British Pacific Fleet and its fleet consisted of four hundred ships, including four battleships, six fleet carriers, four light carriers, eleven light cruisers, one anti-aircraft cruiser, fifty-two destroyers, and twenty-nine submarines. , fifty-three frigates and a large number of auxiliary ships.

Thirteen search and **** aircraft carriers have been retired, and even a few of them are rusting in the port of Malaya, but just right, they can be used as targets for nuclear tests.

From the next day, Alan Wilson began to play the role of the Malayan High Commissioner. The first guests were the leaders of the MCA and the representatives of the Chinese workers who had gone to Newfoundland. It's embarrassing when we don't meet.

However, there are representatives of Chinese workers who have been to Newfoundland, so there is no embarrassment.

"Lord Zhongtang!" Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang, who arrived at the Commissioner's Office, were surprised. "I heard that the commissioner in Malaya has been replaced, but I didn't expect that it was Lord Zhongtang."

"Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, take me to say hello to your wife, Mr. Su, I wonder if your wife is still adapting to life here? She is a good girl in Newfoundland. If you are wronged, I will Probably not happy." Alan Wilson smiled politely, and then turned his attention to other MCA leaders.

Alan Wilson is not very familiar with a group of MCA leaders including Chen Zhenlu and Lin Lianyu, but he still has a general idea through data collection.

"According to your Chinese habits, I have prepared some tea, not the British kind." Alan Wilson motioned for a seat, "As the largest organization of the Chinese community today, I have a reason to meet with you after taking office. Although I can do nothing at all, and when I meet you, I have to meet the Indian Congress Party."

Two years ago, the Malayan Indian National Congress was established to represent all Indians. However, the existence of various ethnic and religious organizations in Indian society kept Indian society in a divided state.

This is nothing. Vietnam still has a gun party. Even the color of the blue sky and the sky is similar, and the style is similar to the later flag of Vietnam, but the color of the five-pointed star in the middle is different.

"Actually, we are not particularly unfamiliar. Maybe you don't believe it, we have already met. If you don't believe me, you can take out the history textbooks that are taught to Chinese children, and turn them over to see who wrote this set of textbooks." Ai Ron Wilson swept the faces of these Chinese leaders with indifferent eyes, "Ai Zhongtang is me."

Listening to Alan Wilson, although not up to the standard, but definitely better than their mandarin, the leaders of the MCA were shocked and looked at each other. Lin Lianyu first opened the mouth and said ~lightnovelpub.net~ Commissioner, it turned out that Su Yang and the others said Ai Zhongtang is you. "

"Yes, isn't it shocking? I lived in Xiangjiang for a while during the war." Alan Wilson smiled, "I know you, Mr. Lin Lianyu, you are a good educator. From your Chinese perspective It is admirable. But after all, this is a British colony. Without our approval, you can't do anything. From August to October 1945, when the independence movement was at its height, did you Heard that the colonial government had discussions about sending all the Chinese back?"

"Do you think that you can change anything by marching and protesting? It was I who persuaded the civil servants of British India in New Delhi, and then persuaded General Mountbatten to stop this discussion." Alan Wilson changed the subject. "I can honestly say that the introduction of Chinese to dilute the independent trend of the Malays is also my proposal. At least so far, the effect is not bad. Half of the ethnic groups are a lot more honest."

"What is the purpose of the commissioner doing this?" Chen Zhenlu sat upright and asked, "Master Zhongtang will not do such a thing in vain, aren't you afraid it will lead to bigger problems."

"Whoever dares to be independent will die, what is the bigger problem?" Alan Wilson leaned forward and said in a relaxed tone, "I can stand on the side of the Chinese, or the other way around, it depends on who is more dangerous. Great. On the day when it was really untenable, it’s not that I didn’t participate in the partition of India and Pakistan. As for how many people you killed each other, it depends on your mood.”

The temperature in the whole room seemed to drop a few degrees, no one answered, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"If the old-school Chinese can't communicate, I prefer to communicate with people like Mr. Tian and Mr. Su. At least we still have a common language." Alan Wilson's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, as if tapping in the hearts of people .
