British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 686: Ambassador Burgess

After several transitions, Alan Wilson returned to Kuala Lumpur, where he had been away for a few months, and also brought the harvest of this trip, that is, the market found for the industrialization of Malaya.

He found an export market for his colony, at least in negotiations with Iran.

There is also the strategy of developing the state of the British African real estate, the airport project in the Middle East, and the Aswan dam project, which has only one idea. These are all good things that can promote the development of Malaya's industry.

At present, Alan Wilson can't think of any external conditions that he can strive for. A few days later, a meeting of the Commissioners of the British Malaya Colony was held to discuss the needs of other colonies.

"Even if these colonies are to become independent in the end, we need to establish a sufficiently stable and obedient superstructure. Otherwise, these colonies are likely to become Soviet-leaning countries in the future."

When talking about the African real estate development strategy, Alan Wilson explained the importance of this to the British Empire.

As for the direct evidence in hand to convince subordinates, it is the fourth five-year plan of the Soviet Union and the first five-year plan after the war. The United Kingdom is doing its best to get rid of the aftermath of the war. Of course, the Soviet Union is also the same, and it has recovered more than the United Kingdom. quick.

Of course Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the restoration of the Soviet Union was not something that ordinary countries could learn from. Seven years was not a long time for nearly 30 million people to die in action. If you use the analogy of trauma, the Soviet Union sprayed gunpowder on the wound to stop the bleeding after being injured, instead of choosing to rest slowly.

In fact, the Soviet Union could not rest in peace either. After all, in 1946 after the war, hostility between the two sides had already emerged. NATO would not have waited until 1952 if it hadn't been for the United Kingdom, which is also trying its best to get out of the financial crisis, and has been avoiding confrontation.

When his subordinates observed the results of the Soviet Union's post-war five-year plan, Alan Wilson continued, "For the past eight years, from British India to British Malaya, the original intention of our work is to try our best to solve the financial problems encountered by our country. Difficulty. Today, there is generally no problem with finances. The problem is that only relying on the homeland will only get further and further away from the United States and the Soviet Union. We need a second place where we can share the pressure on the homeland. This is the third time the UK has made The choice, if it fails again this time, let's honestly watch the British Empire become a thing of the past."

Britain's long-standing problem was that all resources came from the homeland when it came to building the empire's armed forces. Once it wants to find a colony to share the burden, it is often unsuccessful. At first, the United Kingdom let thirteen states in North America share the cost of the empire's defense, and then the United States became independent.

Later, they chose British Canada, but the Canadians were unwilling. In the end, they always relied on the support of British India to maintain the military power of the empire on which the sun never sets.

From this you can see how important British India was to Britain. Once India becomes independent, the pressure on British military spending will increase greatly. It is impossible to maintain the existing standing army of 800,000 with the financial resources of the British mainland.

"Is the data released by the Soviet Union accurate? The size of the Soviet Union's economy is already twice that of the mainland?" Eder looked at the five-year plan report in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Are the Soviets lying?"

"Let's take this as it is." Alan Wilson asked, do you think the Soviet cadres were British civil servants, or explained, "Anyway, if the economies of the two countries are the same size, when does Britain need to kill a weaker through an alliance? opponent."

Now the situation is actually very simple. The economy of the United States is more than twice that of the Soviet Union, and the economy of the Soviet Union is already about twice the size of the United Kingdom. Moreover, the potential of the two countries is completely different. British citizens will definitely live far more than Soviet citizens, but the growth will be much slower.

"Malaya must develop with the full support of the mainland, but the price is that the colonies we manage must bear the military expenses, and the mainland cannot afford the expenses alone. If this is not possible, the current empire's standing army of 800,000 cannot be maintained. Once it falls into a vicious state We will not have enough strength to maintain the stability of the colony. For this reason, the intensity of industrial transfer, Malaya will receive more care than the original India, and from next year, the financial expenditure of British Malaya, Part of it will be included in domestic military spending."

"Commissioner, do you want to buy a few years, otherwise it will cause turmoil here." Alyssa said worriedly, "In the beginning, the thirteen states in North America were tax revenue, and finally became independent."

"Through the transfer of industries and the export market, I believe that this feeling can be diluted. The sharing of military expenditures should be carried out at the beginning, otherwise, when the development reaches a certain level, the expenditure will be increased, and the people here will not agree. ."

"It seems that we need to put more effort into the accounts." Edel fiddled with the pen in his hand and shook his head slightly, "It depends on whether the export data for this year is good. If it is good, it should be fine."

"The usefulness of trade is here, and the development of Malaya will lead to the consolidation of the imperial preferential system. And over time, it will also help maintain British influence in the colonies."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, at the beginning of the year, I said that I wanted 10 million tons of steel. The goal remains the same. As long as we produce it, we will have a way to sell it."

The main purpose of this meeting is to share military expenditures and complete the replacement of British Malaya with British India. If there is a demand for real estate development, Malaya will export.

The only bottleneck that can limit the current Malaya is actually the population problem, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of people nearby.

During Alan Wilson's absence, the news on the Asian side was that the Korean War had entered a stable phase, and the other thing was that the Philippines had filed a compensation claim against Japan for $8 billion.

"The real son and the godson are fighting." Alan Wilson's mouth became oh-shaped, thinking about how to support.

If he, a colonial commissioner, had done so, he might have been too explicit, but if he could make a stumbling block for Japan, why not do it? Those Japanese social animals didn't have to work hard for a while.

Elpidio Quirino is the current president of the Philippines. During World War II, his wife and daughter died at the hands of the Japanese army. As a president, it is conceivable that such a person advocates for reparations.

Malaya has already put the prisoners of war back, and now it makes no sense to ask for compensation. But this matter can still be used for side solidarity, such as talking about the issue of Australian prisoners of war.

Wife Pamela Mountbatten is still in London, but will soon go to Western Australia to give birth, to avoid the coming bad weather on the mainland, Alan Wilson sent a telegram, on the one hand to report safety, on the other hand to make his wife think Find a way to organize the families of Australian prisoners of war tortured to death during World War II, and form a lobbying group to pressure the Australian government to demand compensation for Japan.

Once this is done, the UK can stand behind Australia to show its support.

It is a pity that the UK cannot join the ranks of claims for compensation, because Germany has done more damage to the UK. The United Kingdom has expressed its understanding, and only holding on to Japan will easily fall off the topic, but Australia does not have this problem.

"Understood, Japan is your competitor to manage the colony. I will help!" Pamela Mountbatten's telegram immediately agreed to help, and said that she would go to Australia in a few days, and also mentioned that Princess Margaret also will accompany.

"I can't hide yet?" Alan Wilson muttered to himself, dumbfounded when he saw the news.

The boat went straight to the bridge, and he stopped thinking about it and began to inspect some of the industries that had developed in Malaya.

If Burgess, the ambassador to Japan, had not arrived in Malaya, he would not have stayed in Kuala Lumpur. The key is that Burgess also brought MI6 reporters in disguise, and these reporters have already investigated something~www.mtlnovel .com~ This is something Alan Wilson has been concerned about, and he did not record the massacre of the US military to embarrass the United States. It is to serve the United Kingdom. After all, the role of the United States is still quite glorious now compared to the old colonial empire of the United Kingdom.

Although the rulers of various countries know what virtue the United States is, ordinary people are easily deceived. Especially in some colonies, the United States is always regarded as the savior.

This MI6 investigation has gathered the massacres of the US and South Korean governments. The most tragic is the "Protection Alliance Incident" led by the South Korean government. The "National Protection Alliance" is an organization established by the Korean government in 1949 to implement re-education for communist sympathizers. At that time, in order to make up the number of people, many civilians who were not sympathizers of communism also registered as members under coercion or inducement. Therefore, less than half a year after its establishment, the number of members of the alliance reached 300,000.

After the outbreak of the Korean civil war, the South Korean government ordered the "cleaning up" of the members of the Guiding Alliance.

In the Jeju Island incident, the US and South Korean troops killed 30,000 local residents. There is also the Laogenli incident, which was an incident in which the US military took the lead. Similar civilian massacres, this time the investigation report was brought out.

"Great, if these things are going to be exposed. I see how Americans hold the moral banner!" Alan Wilson laughed with a small part of the investigation report.

Immediately, Alan Wilson realized that it seemed that being so happy about this kind of incident was detrimental to his image, and changed the subject to Burgess, "Burgess, you don't actually need to come here, isn't your work done?"

"I was ordered to be the German ambassador," Burgess explained with a shrug.

Whitehall's eyes were really burning, and he found Burgess' talent at a glance. Alan Wilson deeply admired Whitehall's vision, opened his mouth and said reluctantly, "Congratulations."
