For the current Malaya, it is very normal for Alan Wilson, as the chief executive, to pay attention to potential competitors. In addition to Japan, there is also the Philippines that is close at hand.
After the Philippines became independent, the Americans did not leave the Philippines alone. After all, the Philippines and the United States had a special relationship.
The United States not only provided a large amount of aid to the Philippines, but also made huge investments in the Philippines. Americans invested in and opened a large number of factories in the Philippines.
In fact, Alan Wilson still has a certain degree of confidence in dealing with the Philippines. And he still remembers one thing, that is, Japan actually tried its best to avoid compensation for World War II, but the Philippines did not refuse the compensation.
This is the benefit of the special relationship between the Philippines and the United States. On the issue of compensation to Japan, Alan Wilson can even be a good friend of the Filipino people. Anyway, he has been an old friend of the Indian people before, and he is no worse than a Filipino.
Although he was not a particularly knowledgeable administrator about industry, Alan Wilson still knew how to bite the bullet, and he would not be so eager if time was not of the essence.
But knowing that British Malaya and Japan were simply incomparable in terms of population, they formulated a very bold development plan. Try to realize Britain's remaining influence in Asia as much as possible.
After the formal meeting, Alan Wilson invited representatives from India and Burma and Ceylon in a private setting. It said that on the issue of nationalization, the UK could not express support at formal meetings due to the attitudes of Canada and Australia.
However, the United Kingdom does not actually reject the nationalization-led industrialization that has begun in Myanmar and India. And I hope that India and Myanmar can appropriately help the development of British Malaya.
As for Ceylon, Britain stated that Ceylon's independent status would not be disturbed by external forces, and was happy to see Ceylon and Myanmar develop relations. This was a complete statement. Ceylon has a British naval base.
The successive victories of the United States did not have any impact on Southeast Asia, at least not on Alan Wilson. But he didn't know that the expansion of the war would have another negative impact on the United States in the next six months. That was the Mysore iron ore he sold to the United States before he left.
But now, he is in a state of excitement about the development of Malaya and collects intelligence about the Philippines in his spare time. Then I discovered the similarities between the two places. It turned out that threatening Japan with prisoners of war to compensate Japan was not just Alan Wilson's idea.
The Philippines has publicly declared several times that if Japan does not compensate the Philippines for its losses during the war, it will kill all the hundreds of thousands of Filipino prisoners of war.
"What a heroic consensus!" Alan Wilson picked up the phone and said, "Being able to show Mr. Elpidio Quirino through some unobtrusive channels that in British Malaya on the issue of compensation , and we stand together with the Philippines. I believe there must be such a channel."
Alan Wilson put down the phone and felt that he could do some public opinion manipulation on the issue of military prostitutes. We can even bring Australia and the Netherlands together. After all, these two countries are both victimized countries.
Although rubbing salt in the wound when it comes to women is a bit unethical and completely inconsistent with his demeanor on the streets of Paris a few years ago. But at this point, we can no longer care about so much. As a gentleman of the British Empire, you should have a flexible moral bottom line.
Japan must not be allowed to go into battle lightly. He even wanted to make Japanese prisoners of war disabled before sending them back. Moreover, cultivating an anti-Japanese environment was an important part of the development of British Malaya, which could be regarded as a matter of both public and private matters.
Once the future was clear, Alan Wilson was full of energy, as if he had suddenly returned to New Delhi after World War II, with thoughts flowing like a fountain and endless energy all over his body, except that the target was changed from British India to Japan.
And the difficulty is not the same. Although British India has a larger population, Britain is a direct colonial government. The only country with this status in Japan is the United States.
Not the UK.
Hatred will never be forgotten as long as someone keeps mentioning it, but once no one mentions it, it will be forgotten very quickly.
Public opinion manipulation, especially for Australia, Alan Wilson needed the help of Pamela Mountbatten. Pamela Mountbatten, who had a new round of financing with the help of her real mother, immediately agreed. She also agreed to send out exploration The team arrived in British Malaya to search for oil and gas resources near Brunei.
Regarding the two main helpers of the United States in Asia, Alan Wilson does not feel that he cannot compete with the Philippines, but Japan is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with. So since the Philippines is clinging to Japan because of the issue of compensation, then the Philippines definitely needs a person who can help justice at this time to help.
Although he couldn't help openly, Alan Wilson also didn't want to appear in the open. Traditionally, good deeds were done anonymously.
This was all to defend against the United States. Historically, the United States took two measures in response to the Colombo Plan. One was to lead the formation of the organization. The form, function, and nature of the organization were basically consistent with the United States' propositions. Second, it contributed to its evolution according to the wishes of the United States, turning it from a Commonwealth organization initially led by the United Kingdom into a non-Commonwealth organization led by the United States.
Eventually, the United Kingdom lost control of the Colombo Plan, and the United States' penetration of the Colombo Plan was mainly accomplished through Japan and the Philippines.
Under the premise that the Philippines is currently clinging to Japan, Alan Wilson must take the initiative and do everything before Japan.
When the United States began to transfer its textile industry, Japan actually did not take off very much. After all, the profits of the textile industry were really hard to come by. Japan really started to take off five years later, around 1956, after accumulating the textile industry. Begins to enter a high development stage.
Therefore, British Malaya's plan was to develop the steel industry first with the support of Australia, and at the same time seize the textile industry, because the former can easily create jobs. At the same time, Japan's compensation issue is bitten and Japan's entry into Southeast Asia is delayed.
This issue can support the Philippines' claim. If the compensation issue still cannot stop Japan, let's take Japan's tariff barriers as an example. Japan, like South Korea, relied on tariff barriers in its early stages of development to only export and not import.
If British Malaya can get ahead of Japan, it must bite the tariff barrier. Once Japan opens the tariff barrier, it will use the industries that Malaya already has by then to dump Japan.
Together with the 16 million pounds allocated by the Kuala Lumpur Conference in the name of the Commonwealth, Alan Wilson used the bulk to place orders for the British steel and textile industries. As for the steelmaking equipment that Pamela Mountbatten previously said was purchased in the United States, at this time All have passed through the Panama Canal.
The remainder was used as a reserve fund for British Malaya and as an anchor for the pound in Asia.
After the war, the Japanese government focused on supporting development, restricting companies to purchase coal and steel at low prices, and the resulting price difference was subsidized by the government. This gap subsidy is very large, even accounting for a quarter of the fiscal budget.
Such policies drove the development of the coal and steel industries. In addition, Japan's factories and social infrastructure were completely destroyed during the war, allowing factories to quickly introduce the most advanced production equipment at the time and improve production efficiency. Japan's heavy chemical industry was able to develop.
Alan Wilson did much the same thing, except directly through Australia's current pro-British prime minister, and the fine iron ore that Pamela Mountbatten already controlled. This eliminates the need for financial subsidies from Malaya and avoids the resulting financial pressure.
I have to mention the role of India here. The textile industry center of British India was in the Bengal region with the Calcutta Industrial Area as its core. Since the partition of India and Pakistan, it has belonged to India and Pakistan respectively.
Among them, East Pakistan, which later became Bangladesh, was the production base of the textile industry. But what is the current relationship between India and Pakistan?
Alan Wilson opened the Malayan Commissioner Radio and began replicating broadcasts in Newfoundland, explaining British and Commonwealth support for British Malaya. Mentioning the help of Canada and Australia, he expressed very skillfully that the British Empire was still a great empire that had survived two world wars.
From financial support to industrial support, as well as the resources and climate of British Malaya itself. The development policies for the textile industry and the steel industry were formally determined. As for the advantageous industries, free competition will be adopted, but tin ore and rubber cannot be higher than the London government's purchase price.
"It's hard to say that Malayan citizens have the foundation to accept these industries. The British Empire is ready to help Malaya, but whether Malaya can take over is also a matter worth studying. Malayan Ten Million Subjects of the British Empire must from now on accept the guidance of the government, put aside trivial matters, and become part of modern civilization."
Agricultural seeds arriving in Malaya At the same time, work began on Alan Wilson's first big project, a large fertilizer factory.
When the high commissioner arrived at the site to announce that he was going to break ground, the smug MacArthur took the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces and docked at the island in the Pacific where he met with the president. Here he, President Truman, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Bradley They discussed the situation of the Korean War together. After ensuring that everything went well, he confidently said in a speech: "The war currently taking place has actually been won, and the official resistance on the entire peninsula will end before Thanksgiving."
The next day, Alan Wilson, holding a newspaper about MacArthur's declaration, flew to East Malaysia's port in Sarawak to preside over the ground-breaking ceremony of the steel factory building. A week later, he took Penang Commissioner Alfred with him to the Penang port to receive the textile machinery that had been floating at sea for several months.
