For a country, the importance of coal and iron cannot be overemphasized. Just look at how concerned France is about the coal and iron community. Nehru is not Gandhi who wants to turn India into a large rural area. He must be very interested in an excellent country. The importance of iron ore is clear. How could it be possible to tolerate such high-quality iron ore to be controlled by foreigners for so long? Even if this country is the United States.
As far as the current international situation is concerned, it can be said to be very favorable to India. The United States is trapped in the Far East and cannot move, and Europe, which is extremely important to both the United States and the Soviet Union, is still in confrontation. The current international environment is relatively favorable to India.
If Nehru wanted to take risks at this time, the risks were actually not that great. As for whether he dares to do so, although the conservative leader of the Indian National Congress, Patel, has just died, the conservatives have not disappeared.
The power of Indian conservatives has always been strong. Even if Nehru had concerns, the conservatives would push him to take risks, not to mention that the risks were not as great as imagined.
Pamela Mountbatten listened to her fiancé's analysis and kept nodding, "It seems that once India grows up, it will be really difficult to deal with."
"I have reservations about this." Alan Wilson pouted. If there is any objective benefit to India's existence, especially for China, it is that India's crotch-stretching behavior objectively makes Europe and the United States less wary of China.
The initial version of the Yellow Peril theory is often inseparable from three places, Japan, where the prime minister rose, and China and India.
The former is the first great power besides the white Christian countries to be on the stage. As for China and India, they have always had huge populations and areas, which have become a hidden concern for Europe.
Among the illustrations of various Yellow Peril theories, dragons and Buddha are indispensable. In this era, it can be said that India, which was independent from Britain, has a better foundation than China, almost in every indicator.
As for India, which has a better foundation, it cannot be said that it has never developed, but it has indeed not had much impact on Europe and the United States. With India first attracting attention, Europe and the United States naturally feel that China cannot develop to the point of subverting the world order.
Even after the Korean War, India's international status is still higher than that of China. The same is true for various national indicators!
"Now, the telegram Alim asked me to forward to you was sent by a person named Grace." The two returned to the hotel where they were staying. Pamela Mountbatten took out the telegram and handed it to Alan Wilson. .
"Oh! Let me see." Alan Wilson quickly scanned the telegram and found two things. The first thing was that Ali Khan was very interested in Sabah, and the second thing was indeed Grace's short sentence. Everything Ready.
After reading the telegram, Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "I am going to adjust the administrative areas of British Malaya, merge part of Sabah into Sarawak, and then allocate part of the land to Brunei. You also know that Wen Lai has been divided into two disconnected parts, which is very inconvenient."
"Will my territory expand or shrink?" Pamela Mountbatten asked the main question directly.
"It should be a bit enlarged." Alan Wilson took off his coat and replied calmly, "Together?"
Of course, Pamela Mountbatten was willing to her fiancé's request to share a bath. She liked the feeling of being held by Alan Wilson when taking a bath, which was very comfortable.
The world news of this day was the non-stop start of the third battle after the first two battles.
The third battle actually did not last long, but from the perspective of hindsight, it was the first time that a flaw appeared. Li Qiwei, who had just taken office, observed that the enemy's logistics could only sustain the attack for about a week. This is also the origin of Li Qiwei’s worship offensive.
Of course, this was also discovered by Ridgway after the third battle. At that time, only Ridgway discovered this among the US military command, while MacArthur and other high-level officials were kept in the dark.
By the time of the fourth battle, Ridgway verified his speculation.
Since then, the U.S. military has been confident about the coming battle, and there has never been a hasty retreat after being surrounded. So this is the best opportunity!
On New Year's Day, Alan Wilson used a previously discussed secret code to send New Year's greetings to the subjects of the British Malayan Empire in a public telegram. This was regarded as a formal action signal to Grace. After receiving the signal, Grace must take action within a week. .
At the beginning of the new year, British Malaya will officially begin the repatriation of prisoners of war at the request of Japanese prisoners of war.
Afterwards, Alan Wilson sent a series of telegrams to Bonn, Los Angeles, Paris, and London, and then celebrated the New Year with Pamela Mountbatten in Brussels.
On the first day of the new year, the two were busy with other things. Thanks to US President Truman's war appropriation and mobilization, US steel stocks responded to the war. Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten reduced their holdings of steel stocks to cash out. .
Originally, it was all going to be cashed out, but because Pamela Mountbatten had just received news from New Delhi that India might take back the Mysore iron ore, it was not yet possible to judge what the impact would be, so Pamela Mountbatten put the steel Half of the shares were left.
Alan Wilson was much more hidden. After all, he had also been the chief executive of Newfoundland. Naturally, someone helped him handle the stock affairs. Pamela Mountbatten did not know about the shares in her fiancé's hands.
Since the war, the U.S. stocks held by the Mountbatten family have been gradually reduced, and the cash obtained has become the source of the Mountbatten family's increasing wealth.
The current Alan Wilson is not just the kind of son-in-law he plays in front of his colleagues in Whitehall to the Mountbatten family.
It can be said that he is very prestigious. Although he and Pamela Mountbatten are not married yet, as time goes by, Pamela Mountbatten's dependence on him continues to increase.
It was also January 1, 1951, when the two of them were looking forward to the New Year and the new atmosphere, talking about the Jade House being almost completed and choosing a date to get married.
Explosive news came from the subcontinent. Indian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Nehru announced the nationalization of the Mysore iron mines, giving Washington a blow to the expansion of its military.
Before the war broke out, the US military had only 1.3 million troops on its books, which was not even sufficient for the defense of Europe.
It was expanded once after MacArthur's call, and Truman's mobilization order after the second battle began to expand again on this basis. Although it is a signal that the United States has begun to seriously challenge the war, it also brings a rise in various military-related stocks.
Especially steel stocks. At this time, such a powerful and powerful country stabbed the steel stocks in the New York Stock Exchange sharply. Even Pamela Mountbatten, who returned to London, complained that she should have sold them all before.
"It's only been one day, so we can't see the subsequent impact yet, so we'll have to wait for now." Alan Wilson said softly, "Nehru's actions may only have a short-term impact. After all, the United States has no shortage of iron ore. The quality may not be as high as the Australian iron ore you have in your hands, but there is no problem in supporting the war machine.”
"I didn't expect it to be so fast. I just got the news that New Delhi would announce it so quickly." Pamela Mountbatten asked with some confusion. "It is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen in London."
"That's incredible India!" Alan Wilson smiled slightly. How can a super-fast country do things that the sun never sets on?
Commissioners from each colony returned to London in the new year, mainly to prepare for the colonial commissioners' meeting at the beginning of the year.
In fact, everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed before. For the colonial commissioner, coming back this time is more like a routine vacation. By the way, put the harvest of hard work in the colony in a reliable place.
The joy of harvest is shown on the faces of every colleague, and they firmly believe that the coming year will be better.
Naturally, India's confiscation of US-owned iron mines and the renewed war are the focus of discussion. Everyone is very excited about the disgrace of the US military in the past six months. Every word is filled with a father's concern for his son!
Alan Wilson happened to be talking with his colleagues about developing real estate and setting a benchmark in the colonial capitals. Don’t say at that time that the UK has not developed the local economy. Regarding the matter of revitalizing the country through real estate, he believes that we can make careful plans.
At this moment, British Malaya seemed to be in peace. Compared with Nehru, who was still in the war-torn peninsula and surrounded by great expectations and praises, it was a quiet time.
Newspapers have published reports that Japanese prisoners of war are about to be repatriated. News that Japanese prisoners of war are about to return home has even spread to prisoner of war camps. This seems like a good thing.
It can be related to the humiliation of the US military in the first two battles. At this time, the Japanese prisoners of war were about to return home. Let an undercurrent that appeared a few months ago surge again.
The British Commissioner of Malaya, who was thousands of miles away, did not forget to send a telegram to express New Year's wishes despite his busy schedule, allowing Grace, who came to Asia on business, and the Slavs with her to make the final operational arrangements.
"I heard that the two of them were soldiers. It just so happened that we were too. We have already discussed the basic discussion this time. I wish you all the best." Grace looked at Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu and added, "We must reflect it. Professionalism, that’s what the commissioner is very concerned about.”
At the beginning of the New Year, the British troops stationed in Malaya were relaxing. The cold wind in Europe thousands of miles away was blowing, but Malaya near the equator was still as hot as ever. With the arrival of the New Year, compared with the freezing weather, The American troops were fighting fiercely and the British troops in Malaya had nothing to fault.
The garrison commander, Lieutenant General Bilton, also gave most of the British troops a holiday because of the New Year.
At this time, no one would have thought that British Malaya would soon steal the headline position of the Peninsular War and India.
But it happened so suddenly. The Chinese group, with Chinese workers as the core, launched raids on various prisoner of war camps almost at the same time.
