Chapter 566 Security Intelligence Committee

"Colleagues say you are very reliable!" After a brief telegram was sent to Edel, Alan Wilson went about his own business, which was to establish an important organization for direct management.

Moreover, he will soon have a group of colleagues arriving in British Malaya. These colleagues are from MI6. It is absolutely correct to say that they are colleagues, because MI6 is the British external intelligence agency, affiliated to the British Foreign Office, and reports to foreign affairs. The minister is responsible.

Alan Wilson was a civil servant in the Foreign Office, and of course his colleagues were in MI6, the internal counterintelligence and national security agency responsible to the Home Secretary. The people in MI5 can only be described as colleagues of Alan Wilson.

From this point we can see the power gap between MI6 and MI5 and the KGB. MI6 and MI5 are departments responsible for different ministers. I just did the work of a general directorate under the KGB.

The First Directorate of the KGB is the General Directorate for Foreign Intelligence, the Second Directorate is the Main Directorate for Domestic Defense Intelligence, and there are more than a dozen general directorates including the General Directorate of Military Administration, the General Directorate of Traffic Management, and more.

In fact, it is far worse. The situation in the UK is quite special, and the intelligence agencies of most countries have law enforcement powers.

But not in the UK. In other words, even if MI5 discovers a spy, it cannot arrest it itself. Instead, it can ask the police to arrest it. Usually the Scottish police are used to arrest people.

In terms of colonial management, Britain ruled without rule and rarely conducted direct management. Even when British India had 100,000 civil servants working, it relied heavily on the assistance of local Indian elites.

British India was so important, not to mention other colonies. It was incomparable with France's power to manage colonies. Now that a war broke out in the Far East, as the commissioner of British Malaya, he first had to maintain local stability.

Especially not to be affected by this war. This is the top priority. The people who came to Kuala Lumpur this time were from MI5 and MI6 to help British Malaya establish a functioning secret service. .

The ruling power of a country is nothing more than reflected through the four forces of the military, police, and special forces.

The army, as a colony, currently belongs to the British troops stationed there. Even if it is necessary to expand the military strength of British Malaya, considering the current ethnic balance problem, it will only absorb Malays and not Chinese.

Although this may be unfair to the Chinese, it must be done. Alan Wilson never thought that anyone who wanted to take advantage of British Malaya must be on guard against it.

The same is true for the police department, so there are only two departments left that reflect the country's ruling power. Just think of a solution from here.

Because British Malaya was a colony,

As High Commissioner, Alan Wilson has very great power. It can be said that he is far more authoritative in Kuala Lumpur than Norman Brooke is in London. After all, there was a cabinet above Norman Brooke, and nothing above Alan Wilson.

With this condition, he can now build a usable intelligence agency according to his own ideas.

This intelligence agency must have the powers of both MI6 and MI5, and must also have law enforcement powers. It cannot be like the domestic MI5, which is a funny department that notifies the police when it discovers spies.

As for the people that this department can absorb, they must first meet several basic conditions, be able to communicate in English without any barriers, and consider themselves to be subjects of the British Empire. Then there is not much choice, and they can only recruit members from the Straits Chinese.

The Straits Chinese have already become British in spirit, but their numbers are too small to play a role in checking and balancing the Malays in society. But that doesn’t mean Alan Wilson will forget these spiritual British people.

Straits Chinese can be used to form a powerful intelligence department to prevent Indonesian penetration into British Malaya, including but not limited to Indonesian penetration. As for trust, Alan Wilson is very optimistic.

Not long after, Alyssa entered the office. She first congratulated Alan Wilson for returning to Kuala Lumpur. At the same time, she took out a batch of investigation reports on residents and people in Singapore, and asked, "If they form a secret service, will there be any problems? After all, this is Very risky.”

"It depends on what this department does. If it is used to defend Indonesia, there is no risk. As for dealing with threats from other directions, we in the UK can do it ourselves. This department is ultimately used to maintain internal stability."

Alan Wilson knew what his men were worried about, but he felt the risks were manageable. Because in his eyes, the ability of the Chinese to assimilate is entirely a matter of stance and not that scary. On the contrary, the Chinese are extremely easy to assimilate.

He has many examples in his mind, and he doesn't even need to think about the Straits Chinese. Because the British Empire was the first global empire, and the current world hegemon, the United States, also speaks English, it is easy to find a group of fans around the world, so Not suitable as an example.

Just look at Thailand and Myanmar. Strictly speaking, there are no Chinese in Thailand. There are indeed a large number of people with Chinese ancestry who know their ancestors came from China, but in fact they are no different from Thais.

As for Myanmar, the Chinese in Myanmar are not a small group close to the border. There are millions of Chinese in Myanmar, and most of them are far away from the border. Around Yangon, most of them support the Bamar government.

Even these two countries, which were not particularly outstanding, were able to settle the Chinese. There was no reason why British Malaya could not do so. As for the Chinese in Southeast Asia, Malaya and Indonesia, the reason why they are not assimilated is entirely because the habits of the Peace Christians are too different from those of the Chinese.

Although the assimilation ability of the Peace Believers is considered outstanding in the world, it was a success built in the agricultural era. In modern society, the Peace Believers' country is not strong, and the method of chanting sutras and wielding a sword at the same time will not work. The reason why he looks strong decades later is because he is able to survive, not because he has assimilated to others.

Regarding the secret service in British Malaya, Alan Wilson's original intention was simple, to be big! It’s not that it has to be comparable to the CIA or the KGB, but because large departments can increase the number of employees in the department. As an official, Alan Wilson has the inherent motivation to make a department bloated.

A few days later, intelligence officers from London's MI6 and MI5 arrived in Kuala Lumpur, and Alan Wilson began to formally set up an important agency to directly manage the colony, while entertaining war news.

The UK will not send ground troops to intervene in this war, but it is very logical to send all support except ground troops.

Alan Wilson wanted to make some necessary preparations. As we all know, in any memoir about the war, except for a certain big country, the participating countries, whether it was the United States, South Korea or North Korea, all massacred civilians.

Alan Wilson wants to collect first-hand information to prepare for the future. What if one day he and the United States fall out? These are all inevitable things.

While he was busy building the British colony of Malaya, the war never stopped for a moment. After retreating from the south bank of the Han River to Sangju on the Nakdong River, which lasted a full 300 kilometers, the Nakdong River defense line Stabilized the situation.

At this point, both the United States and South Korea have no way out. The Nakdong River defense line is lined up along Jinju-Gimcheon-Hanchang-Andong-Yongdeok.

The defense from Waguan southward to Mashan is provided by the 24th and 25th Divisions and the 1st Cavalry Division of the Eighth Army of the US Army; while the foothills to the east are centered on Nakjeong-ri where the 1st Division is located. The area is garrisoned by three divisions of the Korean Army and the Capital Division.

The front where the First Division was stationed was an open area 41 kilometers long, which was very unfavorable from a defensive perspective. As the North Korean army detoured back to the Hunan area and captured Jinju, and attacked the gates of Busan and Masan, the US 25th Division originally stationed in Sangju had to move to the Masan defense line, so they had to move this open area It was left to the 1st Division to defend.

The Nakdong River actually formed a huge trench that could protect about three-quarters of the Pusan ​​defensive perimeter.

However, it should also be noted that this defensive perimeter was too large, so in the following weeks, the two sides continued to exchange fire, fighting hundreds of small battles, and several major battles.

In mid-August, the fighting between the two sides reached its climax. The officers and soldiers were ready for hand-to-hand combat. The two sides fought hand-to-hand on a twenty-kilometer-long front, throwing grenades at each other and fighting to the death. The high ground was filled with corpses, some of which were used as bunkers. The entire battlefield turned into a hell on earth.

On this day, MacArthur, as Commander-in-Chief, called the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, "Currently, the situation in Pusan ​​has stabilized. It is impossible for the enemy to break through our defense lines. On the premise of retaining Pusan ​​to attract the enemy's main force, we can carry out a world-shaking attack." Landing operations cut off the enemy's retreat from the middle of the peninsula, and the conditions are ripe for a complete victory in the war. The British Royal Navy Pacific Fleet in the Far East is also willing to assist, and is manned by a corps including two divisions, with the purpose of cooperating with the Eighth The group army coordinated with its counterattack in the south to surround and destroy the enemy."

A day later, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff approved MacArthur's plan after discussion, and preparations for the amphibious landing plan officially began.

On the same day, Alan Wilson called London and applied for the establishment of the British Malaya Security Intelligence Committee out of consideration to prevent neighboring countries from coveting British Malaya.

But Alan Wilson did not expect that the first news reported by this newly emerged secret service agency was to tell him that there was a rumor recently in British Malaya that the United States wanted to help Japan rearm and wanted to take back prisoners of war.

"Nonsense!" Alan Wilson showed the arrogance of the colonists, scoffed at the news, and criticized this unfounded statement without mercy.
