Chapter 530 3-Bit-1 Core Strategy

"Alan, I know it has always been your dream to serve in Malaya." After the meeting, Gerald Edward stopped the next High Commissioner of Malaya and said, "Now your dream has come true, congratulations. "

"Gerald, you don't have any grudges in your heart, do you? I don't deny this, and I have been working hard for it for many years." Alan Wilson pondered for a while and replied, "But it is not selfish."

"I understand. In fact, I am very satisfied with returning to Europe!" Gerald Edward shook his head slightly and said, "And the position of Commissioner in Germany is not an unacceptable position."

"It's more than acceptable, it's simply very important." Alan Wilson and Gerald Edward walked out of the conference room side by side. "The United States has been pushing for the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries. We have been looking for various reasons to delay. On the one hand, it is because Another aspect of the interests of the British occupation zone is to slow down the pace of Germany's recovery, but the pressure from the Americans is increasing."

"The situation in Malaya cannot be said to be stable. In fact, I have always been very complicated about the fact that the proportion of Chinese has increased. On the one hand, the ethnic balance is indeed conducive to containment. On the other hand, the political power in the north has changed, and now it is on the side of the Soviet Union. If something goes wrong, Malaya may fall into a full-scale civil war, which is a very dangerous deployment." Gerald Edward also said that Malaya's problems are not much simpler.

"If it can't be saved, then a full-scale civil war is not unacceptable. I wonder if both sides in the civil war want nuclear bombs? As long as they dare to throw them at each other, I am willing to help them steal them." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, "I'm afraid they don't dare. "

Regarding Malaya's development plan, Alan Wilson did not disclose. Over the years, he has been practicing his magic skills to some extent. He immediately began to revolve around Prime Minister Attlee's Socialist Community of Great Britain, and an extension of the British Malaya. Five-year plan for Asia.

First of all, we must get rid of the restrictive policy against the Chinese in the tin mining industry. The current goal is to promote exports. Whoever can increase exports is his friend as the Malayan Commissioner. He does not care whether the other party is British or Chinese.

This plan also involves the Xiangjiang part. You must know that the largest foreign investment group in China is not the United States but the United Kingdom. Of course, if Mr. Chang persists for a few more years, American investment may surpass British-funded enterprises, but doesn’t Mr. Chang kneel down? The current assets in China worth 250 million pounds still allow the UK to occupy the first place in foreign investment.

The important status of Xiangjiang is naturally self-evident. What is the concept of assets of 250 million pounds? Last year, Britain's total oil imports from the Persian Gulf totaled 80 million pounds. The assets in China are enough for Britain to import oil for three years. Although it is not such a simple conversion, it is enough to prove the value of British capital in China.

While making plans, Alan Wilson also made a list of assistants he needed, preferably civil servants who had served in British India. The names of Alisa and Edel were both on the list.

Two hours later, Pamela Mountbatten returned home and saw her man busy. She sat down and waited, "What news did you and Mr. de Havilland get this time?"

"The cabinet has restarted the rocket development plan. Mr. de Havilland is very interested in this project, but I haven't thought about it yet." Pamela Mountbatten said knowingly, "You and I were in New Delhi at that time. After the war, The rocket program was terminated in 1947 due to financial problems. This time the project was restarted. The key is that I don’t know much about rockets. Will it have an impact on the Air Force?”

"Oh?" Alan Wilson put down his pen, hooked his fingers at Pamela Mountbatten, asked her to sit on his lap, and said softly, "Does Mr. de Havilland have the relevant technology?"

"Yes? He was studying rockets during the war." Pamela Mountbatten replied obediently, "So he is very interested."

"Things haven't been decided yet, right? When you see Minister Albert again, just say this..." Alan Wilson whispered in Pamela Mountbatten's ear, describing the concept of a Trinity nuclear strike.

In the field of nuclear weapons, the nuclear triad refers to the ability of a country to simultaneously possess three nuclear attack methods: land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic bombers. When a country possesses a triad of nuclear strike capabilities, it is equivalent to having a comprehensive nuclear deterrent capability.

Because it has the ability to counterattack after withstanding the first strike, no country can destroy the other party's nuclear strike capability at once without being immune to the other party's nuclear retaliation.

Although the United Kingdom has traditionally relied on the Royal Navy to maintain its status, it is currently vigorously developing its air force, and even the basics of the British Empire have emerged, deploying the latest technology and backward equipment. In fact, this is not entirely correct, but the act of putting three types of strategic bombers into service at the same time is not something that old-style imperialism can do.

It can be seen from the fact that three strategic bombers are in service at the same time that the current Britain is actually in a hurry. After the end of World War II, in order to maintain the face of the empire on which the sun never sets, the United Kingdom accelerated the development of nuclear weapons on the one hand and strategic bombers on the other. Among them, the United Kingdom has three strategic bombers, namely "Warrior", "Victor" and "Vulcan", collectively known as "3v" strategic bombers.

At present, three strategic bombers are already under development and will be tested in the next two years at most. At present, the United Kingdom regards the air force as an important force. On the contrary, missiles and submarines have not yet been seen.

"Remember, this is a life-saving thing. If you can convince the Secretary of Defense, don't expect to make money with this kind of thing." After the face-to-face meeting, Alan Wilson hugged his fiancée's body and said, "If we seize aviation and rockets, We will think of solutions from other fields in the future. But I believe this concept should attract the attention of the Secretary of Defense.”

Pamela Mountbatten does not have a shipbuilding industry in her hands, because the shipbuilding industry is currently very prosperous, and the military industry companies that Britain dealt with before have no shipbuilding industry.

"Rockets are not intended to be launched from a base, but there is none in our country. If you ask me that, how can I explain it?" Pamela Mountbatten drew inferences from one example and asked what she would do if faced with a rhetorical question.

"You just say it will be built in Malaya. I will go to Malaya to take office before the end of the month." Alan Wilson patted Pamela Mountbatten's thigh and said, "Just follow what I say and you will never suffer. "

As for rocket technology, if you consider facilities such as space launch bases, the UK will never build such facilities on its own soil. France later built it in French Guiana, and France is also the leader in European space technology.

Britain's first artificial satellite launch site is in Australia, just like the nuclear weapons test site is in Australia.

If possible, it would be best for the British space center to be located in Australia. After all, Alan Wilson does not want to miss this aviation competition. From the perspective of uniting Australia, this is also a good thing. As for the nuclear bomb silos, just put them in Malaya.

Alan Wilson mentored Pamela Mountbatten to popularize the concept of the Trinity when she met the Secretary of Defense. Cool down the current air force craze in the UK a bit. The Air Force cannot solve all problems!

Before taking office, Alan Wilson had already issued an executive order on behalf of Gerald Edward, ordering Malaya to conduct a census immediately. At the same time, he met with Norman Brooke and submitted a colonial report on the development of Malaya.

"The name of the Five-Year Plan?" Norman Brooke couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Alan Wilson's report. "Although the Prime Minister called for the establishment of a socialist community of Great Britain, it is ultimately different from the Soviet Union. Is this the name?"

"About the five-year plan for state capitalism in Malaya!" Alan Wilson immediately changed the name and said, "We want to combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism."

"There is no problem on my side, Allen. Regarding the issue of the nuclear weapons test site, I have argued for you. Of course, considering the vast land and sparsely populated areas, the support for Australia is not small." Norman Brooke changed the topic, "Of course, I still think that from the perspective of strategic position, Malaya is more suitable. And our friends, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, are all eagerly looking forward to this matter. So the matter has been settled Now, as the local chief executive, you will preside over this nuclear test."

"I am personally very honored!" Alan Wilson said with gratitude. "Almost immediately, I felt full of power."

"As for the plan to transfer the textile industry, I have communicated with some colleagues. It has been assessed that the domestic impact is acceptable. The most important thing is that European countries are rebuilding. The textile industry is the most basic industrial development route. We must Beware of Germany, France and even Sweden. Therefore, it is not unacceptable to stimulate the local production potential of Malaya as a supplement to the local market."

Speaking of this, Norman Brooke said softly, "At the same time, your proposal on currency reform has also been recognized. The issuance of Asian pounds, with an exchange ratio of one to eight pounds. In fact, according to local living standards, the exchange ratio is one to six. It is more appropriate, but considering the factors of promoting exports, it was finally settled on 1:8.”

"I have obtained for you almost everything you asked for." Norman Brooke finally emphasized, "Under these conditions, you must find a way to let Malaya replace the original role of British India as soon as possible."

"I promise!" Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, and he could understand that not all the advantages brought by the dream come true were favorable factors.

"After I went to Malaya, I promised that I will attend the meeting of the National Defense Affairs Committee soon!" Norman Brook said.

Alan Wilson understood and left the Cabinet Secretary's Office directly. First, he sent a telegram to the ladies whose status was used as wives, telling them that he was going to Malaya to take up his post.
