Chapter 274

69, the fastest update of British civil servants!

Myanmar is divided into upper and lower Myanmar. Lower Myanmar is the Burmese residential area with Yangon as the core. Upper Myanmar has a larger area. In addition to the Burmese, there are other tribes living in the area.

Unlike Lower Myanmar along the coast, Upper Myanmar is regarded as the heartland of the country, because although the Burmese rule in Lower Myanmar is more stable, Upper Myanmar is the place where they started, which is equivalent to the Central Plains of China.

The Karen, Kachin, and Shan ethnic groups live in small numbers but cover a large area. These tribes live in half of the entire British Burma.

On the steps of the club stood a dun-haired Englishman with his hands in the pockets of his shorts, a bristly beard, light gray eyes set far apart, and strangely thin calves. This person is District Sheriff West.

Boring, he rocked back and forth on his heels, poking his upper lip so hard that his beard would scratch his nose. He tilted his head slightly to the side as a greeting.

Alan Wilson, Wu Dinglun and Aung San, who came here specially, nodded in response. On both sides of the club, there are patches of English flowers such as hollyhocks and petunias. These flowers have not been dried by the sun, and they are still blooming colorfully.

Alan Wilson was quite surprised that Aung San could appear. After all, he was really rude to people like Aung San. Of course, there was a reason for this. People like Aung San did have an affair with the Japanese army during World War II.

After thinking about it for a while, Alan Wilson came to his own judgment, and it's not surprising that Ang Lante joined after he couldn't beat him.

There is no need to deliberately hide anything, what Alan Wilson should do is still to be done, the three of them entered the club, and the tribal representatives inside were already waiting.

When several representatives saw Aung San himself, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, wondering why Aung San appeared here.

They even think that the British have committed an old problem, playing the trick of selling for a price.

Alan Wilson had absolutely no intention of this, but he was used to punching hard in the colony, and he didn't take Aung San seriously in his heart. It was as simple as that, and there was no special reason.

"Mr. Allen, why is Aung San here?" Shin Wanam, the leader of the Kachin armed forces, asked with a dark complexion. He was quite disgusted by Aung San's appearance, but he still tried to be polite.

"Whether he is present or not will not change anything." Alan Wilson said indifferently, "Since the facts exist, they cannot be resolved without you meeting. When we talk about our affairs, we will pretend that Aung San does not exist."

The relationship between the Burmese and other ethnic groups living in Myanmar is really tense.

The so-called European club, the conditions are just like that, there are only a few rooms in the club, one has a poor reading room with moldy novels, and the other has a dilapidated pool table.

There was also a bridge-room and a drawing-room, which looked out upon the river from wide verandahs, though at this hour all balconies were to be screened with green bamboo curtains. The lounge felt very unhomely, with coconut-leaf matting on the floor and wicker tables and chairs littered with glossy illustrated newspapers.

Colonists only have some privileges in the colony, which does not mean that the life in the colony can really be compared with that in the native land.

Alan Wilson is not a picky person, so he just sat down Shi Shiran, just facing Sim Wanan, the Kachin leader has a ruddy complexion, good looks, and a little fat.

"I am grateful to the Kachin and Karen for their help to the British Empire during the war." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude to the leaders of these tribal armed forces. All the same, they are all concerned by London."

"Mr. Alan, in fact, our Kachin's request is very simple. We want autonomy. Many people think that we and the Burmese are not suitable to be in the same country. We know their virtues very well." Even Aung San himself is in Here, Sim Wanan also did not restrain himself, and his attitude towards the Burmese was undisguised.

Just plain disgusting.

"I will truthfully report your opinion to London." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile on his face. "This kind of request is not too much. It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. There must be a reason."

General Aung San looked serious, his eyes wandered back and forth among the armed leaders such as Alan Wilson and Xin Wanan, hesitant to speak, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Alan Wilson has a general understanding of the situation in Myanmar. The contradiction between the main ethnic group and the minority group is not so rare.

Before encountering the British Empire, the Gongbang Dynasty of Burma could be regarded as having abundant military virtues, conquering east and west to expand its territory. The life of other ethnic groups under the rule is the same, similar to the relationship between the Han in the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu in the Qing Dynasty and other ethnic groups.

Alan Wilson, who has his own political experience, has really participated in similar discussions before. When the ethnicity post bar was still there, he entered a certain minority post bar again and saw a long-experienced topic, the dispute between Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Curious in my heart that this kind of topic has been brought to the third-party battlefield? Then I went in and took a look, and was impressed by one of the answers, "Ming Dynasty was ruled by the Han people, and the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus. Two bastards who have a position, ask us which ruler is better? The South Great Wall was built from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. , whose share is missing?"

This is the attitude of tribes such as Kachin and Karen towards the British and Burmese. The Kampong Dynasty forced assimilation of these tribes.

Instead, the British Empire suppressed the Burmese, and the division and rule gave these tribes breathing space. Nothing has changed for them. What has changed is the superior Burmese, who now belong to the ruled just like them.

Aung San himself was on edge when Alan Wilson promised to report the voice of Karen and Kachin to London. These tribes have a small population, but they live in a large area. If the British really want to do this, the whole of Myanmar will be injured.

"Mr. Aung San, what are you thinking?" At some point, Alan Wilson tilted his head and stared at Aung San with a half-smile, "Are you thinking about how to take remedial measures? If you can really think that way , indicating that there is still salvation."

Part of the reason for bringing Aung San here is also to prove the previous threat. The British Empire has a way to harm Burma.

Don’t think that Burma is the only one that has the ability to add obstacles to the British Empire. If Britain restores its true colors of imperialism and in turn adds obstacles to Myanmar, Myanmar will definitely suffer more losses than Britain.

Turning his head, Alan Wilson promised to find a way to support these armed forces with some supplies. At the same time, we also hope that these armed forces will do well what they demand.

Then he took out the photo of huanghuali and gave it to Xin Wanan and others to express the need for this kind of tree.

There was no black-box operation in the whole process, and it was all done clearly. It made Aung San realize what is called old-fashioned imperialism. It happened that British India was disarming. In line with the idea of ​​waste utilization, these cut off the remaining weapons , can be delivered to the trustworthy hands of the British Empire.

Aung San asked himself, the trustworthy people in Alan Wilson's mouth do not seem to include the Burmese at present.

The negotiations between the two parties were carried out in a friendly atmosphere. Alan Wilson received a series of guarantees including but not limited to jadeite and huanghuali, and settled all private matters, and also handled official business by the way, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Seeing that it was lunch time, Alan Wilson asked everyone to go to the club organizer West.

"Mr. West, it seems that Burmese locals are not very welcome." Alan Wilson said vaguely with food stuffed in his mouth, "Actually, there is no need for this, this is not our place, and being able to cash out is more important than anything else." .Since you are a guest, there is no reason to offend the owner here. Wouldn’t it be better to return to the native land?”

"My God, but I just can't take it, I just don't want those black, smelly pigs in the only place we can enjoy ourselves, and the gentlemen here are all respectable and support me. I don't care about some people and those in the market. Scums make friends. If they're happy to hang out with them, and drink whiskey with nigger friends, that's their business. Outside the club, they can do what they like. But for God's sake, bringing niggers in is another matter Something happened."

"Uh, well, pretend I didn't say it." Alan Wilson listened to West's long speech without panting, and it took a while to realize that the black man was talking about the Burmese, and he put down the idea of ​​​​correcting the other party's three views.

Even in later generations, I hate racism and I hate black double standards a lot. West just wasn't hiding it, there's nothing to blame.

In general, except for the episode of West, today’s results are still very rich. Before leaving, Alan Wilson took a rough emerald stone that Sinwanan gave him, which was about 30 centimeters square. There is no research on jadeite, but judging from the emerald green color, it should be of very good quality.

If the materials of the Emerald Palace had this standard, it would not be able to be built in British Malaya. It would be too dangerous, and it would be safer to put it in the British mainland.

"Does Mr. Allen have some prejudice against Myanmar? In fact, we are not wrong to strive for national independence." Aung San, who has a flexible moral bottom line, seized the opportunity and said, "This does not mean that we are hostile to the British Empire."

"Oh, yes. I really want to hear that when you cooperated with the Japanese army, would you think that the British Empire could come back?" Alan Wilson said with a smile on his face, "What is Mr. Aung San's Japanese alias? Understand?"

"I..." Aung San had just opened his mouth, and Alan Wilson jumped repeatedly, "Of course this is not important. The expectation of the British Empire is to ensure the stability of British Burma in the next two years, so some of the previous mistakes can actually be done. Don't pursue it. It depends on General Aung San's choice."

On the third day of Alan Wilson's arrival in Yangon, Aung San personally presided over the currency reform in Myanmar aimed at getting rid of colonial influence, which kicked off amidst much anticipation. Upon receiving the news, Alan Wilson smiled very happily, and those who know current affairs are Junjie.
