Chapter 557 War Brings Demand

"Even if we have exchange conditions, it is estimated that it will not be easy to achieve our goal. The United States definitely hopes that we will send ground troops." Norman Brooke informed Alan Wilson of the cabinet decision, but said that there may be recurrences.

"It is best not to. Once the scale of the war becomes uncontrollable, you must know that most of the population of British Malaya is Chinese." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Of course I will not judge whether Malaya will be destroyed based on ethnic issues. It’s stable. But it’s also possible.”

"It seems that the move to balance the Malays is not very correct." Norman Brooke sighed with a slight frown.

"But we could not have predicted that the situation in Asia would become like this." Although Alan Wilson knew it in his heart, he still shirks his responsibility with the unpredictable future. "We may have to be careful in stabilizing Malaya in the future. Some, but if we get through this, the benefits will be limitless. The window of Hong Kong is in our hands, and Malaya, the core of Southeast Asia, is in our hands. As long as we can stabilize the Chinese in Malaya, there will be Chinese in every country in Southeast Asia. Through this channel, we can successfully enter the markets of various countries."

Alan Wilson mentions the benefits and describes ambitious goals for the future.

Now there is no other way for Britain. If Malaya cannot be saved, the collapse of the British colonial system will undoubtedly happen.

We can’t support Africa vigorously, can we, Northern Rhodesia? With more than 200,000 Slavs, how long will it take for the population to increase to support Britain? How can Britain have such a long time to wait now?

"Yes, there are not many options left for the UK, so your work is still very important. By the way, Allen!" Norman Brook asked another question, "What do you think about New Delhi's military response to Hyderabad?" What do you think of the action? You have worked in India."

"There are only a few hundred instructors in Germany. We know that if New Delhi has long-term ambitions for Hyderabad, Hyderabad will have problems sooner or later. It is really difficult to say." Alan Wilson hesitated and replied, "But I personally think it is not advisable to think too highly of the country of India. The so-called great power is very difficult to achieve. Although Nehru was a very powerful person, the Ganges Estuary and the Indus River Basin already belonged to another country, British India. The good geography has been destroyed. He can't change anything."

India wants to become a powerful and powerful country. Even if the United Kingdom agrees to this, the United States will not agree to it.

Britain dominates. As the war further developed, the United States became the world's largest power and gradually assumed dominance. The United States' attitude towards India was similar to the British attitude towards India.

In order to maintain its dominant position in society, the United States can suppress any country, including but not limited to India. The United States marginalizes India. What started as an inequality in economic status later expanded and intensified into other areas.

In terms of governance,

Strengthen the dominant position of the United States. Looking at various industries around the world, the United States is basically the one standing at the top of the pyramid. In terms of values, it emphasizes the difference between East and West, marginalizes India, promotes core values ​​centered on the United States, and denies India's value.

In terms of social roles, it restricts and hinders India's creativity, restricts India's access to core areas, and places it in a secondary position.

Let India participate in world affairs, but the world still belongs to the United States. In other words, the United States continues to put India in a secondary position and makes India feel that it is inherently secondary, so that India can only serve as the bottom labor force for the United States.

After the Cold War, the United States has lost its way in the East and will only be more cautious when dealing with India. After all, it is not the patent of any country to use history as a warning. The United States will not be so stupid if the same thing is fooled twice.

In front of the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson still expressed his confidence in stabilizing the situation in Malaya. If that didn't work, when the two unsealed battleships arrived in Asia, they could bombard Jakarta to add to the fun. It's not like they have never done it before. The Dutch have done it before. Done.

Is there anyone in the whole of Britain who is more confident than him in achieving great results in a place where Chinese are the majority population?

Due to the rigor of rhetoric, there may be, but based on the analysis of the actual situation, there will be no such thing.

At this point, Alan Wilson has completed the work of recalling him from London this time to draft a response analysis for the Far East War, providing a template for the UK to deal with this matter next.

When looking at Asian issues, the United Kingdom and the United States have completely different considerations. This can also be seen from the media reports controlled by Pamela Mountbatten in Australia. The American public opinion media in Australia are saying completely two different things.

Thanks to McCarthy's successful work, the United States regards all countries with similar political structures as the Soviet Union as part of the Soviet Union. It believes that as long as it is a socialist country, it has no autonomy at all. Like Eastern European countries, it directly takes orders from the Moscow Central Committee. Order.

Prime Minister Attlee also viewed Eastern European countries in this way, but he did not view Yugoslavia in this way. This is a big difference. We don’t view Moscow that way, and we don’t view socialist countries outside Eastern Europe that way either.

In view of this, after the incident with the Northern Rhodesians, London still maintained contact with Belgrade. The Labor cabinet believed that maintaining ties with independent socialist countries was in itself a way to neutralize the threat from the Soviet Union.

Comprehensive hostility to all countries with the same system as the Soviet Union will only force these countries to increase their dependence on Moscow.

At the same time, the force is mutual. The more socialist countries that press, the reaction force will be that Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, will have to cling to the thigh of the United States.

However, Alan Wilson knew that Britain's advice would be ignored by the United States, which believed that Americans, relatively inexperienced in dealing with world affairs, would be willing to listen to Britain's experience.

But this was based on the assumption that Britain and the United States had a certain degree of alignment of interests. This assumption would soon prove to be too optimistic. Due to the asymmetry in strength between the two countries after World War II, the United States was stronger than the United Kingdom, which limited the UK's influence.

Perhaps the only thing that makes people happy is that because the war broke out and the United States has confirmed its intervention, the U.S. steel stocks retained by Allen Weir have experienced a wave of rise. If history remains unchanged and the war lasts for about three years, he will still Can usher in a wave of wealth growth.

Of course, compared with the Australian iron ore in the hands of Pamela Mountbatten, this can only be regarded as small money. When the United States decided to intervene armedly, it was also the time when iron ore began to rise.

In this case, Australia’s extremely pure iron ore will have even more significant advantages.

It can even be said that the European market can be supplied. If iron ore is at a low price, Europe is far away from Australia after all. In addition, Europe itself also has iron ore, so the demand for Australian iron ore is not urgent.

But things will be different after the price of iron ore rises. After all, Britain is supported by the Imperial System of Preferences. It is very exciting to see that it will be imported into other European countries through the British hands.

Pamela Mountbatten, who was painting cakes in France, also sent a telegram to her fiancé, who was returning to London during this time, to express her joy because of the news that the war had caused a rise in iron ore.

Even in Sweden, where the best iron ore mines are located in Europe, the UK has a more traditional and strong relationship than Germany and France. In general, if the last war can take advantage of the rise in related raw materials, the UK can still reap some benefits.

Alan Wilson's return to London this time also brought Malayan profits for the first half of the year, totaling £28 million. After all, Malaya's tin ore and rubber previously accounted for half and one-third of the world's demand respectively, giving it strong pricing power.

When the Netherlands withdrew from Indonesia, it also destroyed the original Dutch rubber industry in Indonesia and boosted the pricing power of British Malaya in the rubber field, resulting in an income of 28 million pounds in half a year.

The Dutch destroyed Indonesia's rubber industry, but instead helped the United Kingdom. It is the same as after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States directly entered a stage of rapid growth. After all, the competitors are gone, and there is no need to lower prices to pretend to be a grandson. This is the dividend of the Cold War. .

The behavior of the Dutch allowed British Malaya to enjoy a wave of small-scale Cold War dividends.

Iron ore's expectations exceeded expectations, and it also made Pamela Mountbatten's success course in Paris more comfortable. Not sure if it was an illusion, but she found that the French seemed to be particularly interested in the news about Libyan oil.

Alan Wilson knows that this is definitely not an illusion. The Mediterranean and North Africa have always been France’s back garden. In particular, France in North Africa is the majority of the French-speaking countries and has a large contiguous area. France was also the first country in later generations to jump out and kill Cardano.

Is it a lie that France does not hesitate to send troops to stabilize its backyard, strengthen its control over the Mediterranean, and establish a French-led Mediterranean Alliance?

It would be fine if oil were discovered elsewhere, but in North Africa, how could the French not be delighted? Perhaps because of the increasing interests in North Africa, France is now even more reluctant to let go of North Africa.

Alan Wilson expressed congratulations to his fiancée for her success in the trafficking course, and then went directly to Zakharova to ask about the things he was more concerned about, seeds, breeding pigs and projects to promote the revolution in agriculture and animal husbandry.

He is no stranger to Zakharova. After all, she is the assistant arranged by Mikhailovich. In fact, it is not just a matter of Malaya. Northern Rhodesia is also following these channels to introduce relevant experts. The project, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, has the same goal in these two places, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
