"Of course we believe Zhongtang." Su Yang and the two looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"The world is like this. Risks and profits coexist. In this unfamiliar place, the Chinese and we British are outsiders, and we should support each other. The risks are a bit high, but the profits are high."
Alan Wilson, who was holding a wine glass, was persuasive and said, "If things go through, we will all benefit. My purpose is to maintain the stability of British Malaya, which requires the cooperation of the Chinese. And you are not betraying the interests of the Chinese. From a national perspective, the hatred between the Chinese and the Japanese is real. This is your opportunity to take revenge, and it is also an opportunity for London to dispel its doubts."
"The two of us have a drink at Zhongtang!" Su Yang said, and Wada Qianqiu each poured a glass.
"People who don't know think that we are sworn brothers. But if the two future Chinese leaders do this, I won't object." Alan Wilson also raised his glass and clinked a glass with the two.
The rest is a matter of details, such as when is the right time to take action. Alan Wilson said that it would be more appropriate to take action after he left for a short time. Although it was only a superficial project, it was best not to take action while he was in Malaya.
In this way, on the surface, Alan Wilson has no responsibility, and it is easier for him to turn major issues into trivial matters.
"Actually, if everything goes well, even if His Majesty the King can get the Chinese people's promise not to pursue independence, he will be very happy to issue a pardon. However, I would like to remind you that when you petition, you must ask for the King's pardon. , don’t believe the guarantees of this government, politicians’ words have an expiration date, and trusting politicians will do you no good.”
Regarding British politics, the two of them were certainly not as familiar as Alan Wilson, so they naturally followed suit.
Whether he was a Conservative or a Labor Party, Alan Wilson didn't believe much on the colonial issue. He believed more in the king, the mascot of the constitutional monarchy in people's eyes.
The relationship between the British mainland and its overseas territories is not a critical matter in the eyes of politicians. Alan Wilson even believed that absolute monarchy was the best way to digest the land.
British Newfoundland is an overseas territory that is not influenced by the Conservative Party or the Labor Party, which is good. The situation in British Malaya is much more complicated than that of Newfoundland. Although Newfoundland is not small in area, its population is indeed much smaller. Being an offshore financial center can allow Newfoundlanders to live a good life.
With so many people in British Malaya, it was unrealistic to rely on finance to support them, so they had to develop industries honestly.
"You seem to have a good relationship with the Chinese." Anna, who was clearing the table, became a little emotional. "I can't understand the language you speak. I was very unhappy just now."
"My dear, just do as the Romans do." Alan Wilson immediately joined in the aftermath work. "The way to overcome fear is to face it. I am the most suitable person to do this job in the whole UK. At least I understand them. When I do things, I There is a certain degree of certainty.”
"Fear!?" Anna stopped washing the dishes for a moment and asked curiously, "This is very new. Are you still afraid of something?"
"It's not to say that we are afraid. We need to have the necessary precautions." Alan Wilson thought about it carefully, "But fortunately, although China is a little more difficult to deal with, it is not as difficult to deal with as the Soviet Union."
"Oh, I thought you weren't afraid of any country." Anna's ears stood up involuntarily and she said in a complicated tone.
"Anyone who opens a world map and sees such a big country, whether in the Far East, the Middle East or Europe, will feel a huge sense of oppression. Who is not afraid of it." Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "Where does such a big country stand? No matter what kind of system it implements, it is the enemy of Britain. Even the Russian Empire is the life-or-death enemy of the British Empire, not to mention that the Soviet Union is far more powerful than the Russian Empire."
“After all, the British Empire is such a large territory.
There is also the United States, which is currently the most powerful. Anna said sourly, "This is what we in Germany want but don't have." "
"Speaking of this issue, Germany and France are in a similar situation to China. They have sea power and land power. But at the same time, it is much more difficult to develop than the UK, which only focuses on sea power." Alan Wilson asked the busy man Anna sat on her lap, "But the sea power was snatched by us, the UK. Sea power actually does not belong to any country. But land power is different. In the current world, land power is naturally in the hands of the Soviet Union, that is The Soviet Union’s sea power is far more stable than the sea power currently held jointly by Britain and the United States.”
Geographically speaking, the United States can be said to be an enhanced version of the United Kingdom. And China is also very different from the Soviet Union. If you compare it with European countries, it should be like an enhanced version of Germany or France.
To put it nicely, it means having both land and sea, but to put it worse, it means not occupying both ends. China’s maritime power in the 21st century has only progressed after decades of hard work.
At the same time, Russia had already gone through a disintegration, and land power was still in the hands of Russia. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, NATO swarmed around Russia for decades. If it were any other country, it would be dead.
But Russia still dares to challenge NATO with its shrinking huge land resources. This shows how difficult it is to deal with Russia, which has innate land power.
Countries with both land and sea must make greater efforts if they want to take care of both. Similar to France and Germany in Europe, as long as they are not careful, both land and sea will turn into paying attention to one thing and losing the other.
On the contrary, it is like the Soviet Union, which has a huge landmass pressing on the Eurasian continent, a super land power. The benefits it brings are not new to those seen in the Cold War. When the economy reaches 60%, the United States can launch a global offensive. The United States, whose economy far surpassed that of the Soviet Union, was disgraced.
The United States must contribute 100% of its efforts to intervene in Eurasia, and the Soviet Union must contribute 60% to prevent the United States from returning without success.
No country has been able to replicate this, even decades later, the king of understanding frequently showed his favor to Russia. The Sleeping King still wants to designate Russia as an enemy. What the Democratic Party is most worried about is that once decades of suppression are over and Russia, which has not been beaten to death, recovers, it will become a super land power that has failed to deal with a certain big country and at the same time released Russia.
Regarding the current international situation, Alan Wilson can actually understand why Britain would rather follow the United States and introduce the United States into Europe, and European countries all agree.
Because the threat of the Soviet Union is completely different from that of other countries, if the United States or even the Five Eyes lose to a certain major country in the 21st century. In fact, a certain major country does not have the ability to do anything to the Five Eyes Alliance. Even if a certain big country wins, most of the land power in Eurasia is still in the hands of Russia. The worst result is that a certain big country gets half of the land power and half of the sea power.
Even if he becomes the number one in the world, he is still the number one in the world that can be checked and balanced. Take the Silk Road, for example. As long as the Russians are unhappy, this big plan will be paralyzed at any time. Therefore, a certain major country will not take the initiative to provoke Russia.
As for the loser Five Eyes, if they see this situation arise, it will not be too late to make amends with Russia.
But if Britain and the United States lost the Cold War to the Soviet Union, the consequences would definitely not be acceptable. The consequence would be that the Soviet Union, which held land power in the entire Eurasian continent, would seize sea power over a period of time, leaving nothing for Britain and the United States. .
Once this outcome occurred, the Soviet Union would be invincible and completely block the way for other potential challengers.
In short, if Britain and the United States lose to a certain big country, the consequences will not be disastrous, and it will not do anything to the Five Eyes Alliance. But if we lost the Cold War to the Soviet Union, we would lose everything.
In view of this consequence, the Sleeping King will continue to suppress Russia only after he becomes president, unable to give this Cold War opponent a glimmer of hope that he can get back on his feet. Even though it is already 2021, the United States still does not change its original intention for thirty years to prevent Russia from having a chance to recover.
Although the Democratic Party's idea is that it does not pay much attention to a certain big country. But there is naturally a logic behind doing so.
Alan Wilson doesn’t know if this logic is correct in the 21st century, but now, he still regards the Soviet Union as an enemy. Once the Soviet Union recovers from the devastation of World War II, Alan Wilson is the Whitehall civil servant who most supports the special relationship between Britain and the United States. .
Anna didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, it was very complicated anyway. On the one hand, this man has given himself a superior life, but it is also the fact that he is a husband and wife. On the other hand, it was the first time she felt that this man's potential fear of the Soviet Union was so great.
Alan Wilson, who gave the Chinese time to prepare, sent a telegram asking ladies with the same status as his wife about their recent schedules. When he found that he had no intention of coming to Malaya, he took a plane to Zanzibar Islands to participate in this year's event. Conference of Overseas Colonial Commissioners.
Discussions on development options following the Imperial System of Preferences and the establishment of overseas foreign companies in Zanzibar, a British mandate. The full name is the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which will become independent in the future and merge with Tanganyika to become the United Republic of Tanzania.
However, regarding the current Sultanate of Zanzibar, at the last London Commissioners’ Meeting, there was a consensus that the Sultanate of Zanzibar should be retained as much as possible and prevented from merging with any country. When conditions are right, it should be built into a city that responds to the needs of East Africa. offshore financial center.
Alan Wilson, who transited in Ceylon and finally arrived in the Sultanate of Zanzibar, first paid a courtesy visit to Sultan Khalifa bin Haroba bin Suyani. Apologize for disturbing the Sultan's peace.
The Sultanate of Zanzibar only has more than 2,000 square kilometers, but it just blocks the coastline of Tanganyika. If necessary, it can block important ports in nearby East African countries. It has a very strategic position and is a good place to exercise offshore balance.
