"Bring your people and come early tomorrow. Don't let anything happen!" Alan Wilson ordered gently as he sent Su Yang out of the office.
"Master Zhongtang, I understand. Separate most of the people who are joining in the fun." Su Yang laughed and said nonchalantly, "But we can't control the petitions in places like Penang and Malacca."
"So there are more than just heavy machine guns on the block over there." Alan Wilson said calmly, "In fact, we don't have much confidence in how to control such a large flow of people, so the battleships rushing from London to the Far East are in Penang. I believe that neither you nor I want to see the bombardment of Jakarta happen again. After all, once it happens, it will be difficult to recover."
Regarding the deployment of British troops in Malaya, it was not a very secret matter. It was even spread by word of mouth among the people who sat in for sit-ins and petitions in various places. In fact, Alan Wilson was also prepared for the worst.
This cannot be said to be a threat. A verbal threat is better than a situation that cannot be ended.
"Commissioner, are you done talking?" Alyssa walked out of the nearby office and asked about the progress, "How was it?"
"Fortunately, I believe it won't take long for the incident to subside." Alan Wilson tilted his head, glanced at the deputy, and proactively asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I heard that Vivien Leigh arrived at the Malayan Labor Army. I want to go and see her." Alyssa was a little embarrassed. "We have met before. I don't know if she still remembers me."
"You should remember!" Alan Wilson replied firmly, "Just go out as a military vehicle. The crowd of sit-ins has almost dispersed. It seems that many people have suffered from heatstroke recently."
Alan Wilson stayed at the Executive Office and of course could not see many sit-ins suffering from heat stroke. But I saw it from the newspapers. The colonial government sent people suffering from heat stroke to the hospital, which reflected the benevolence of the British Empire.
It's a great opportunity to manipulate public opinion, but those uncrowned kings are too busy. But this is not a bad thing, it can help him establish his character as a colonial commissioner. Local public opinion is currently polarized. Some newspapers reported that battleships docked at coastal military bases were ready at any time, while other reports focused on negotiations between the colonial government and the petitioners, and the colonial government sending people suffering from heatstroke to hospitals for treatment.
As for the current number of sit-in petitions in British Malaya, London newspapers put it at over a million people. According to the report he received, there were about 100,000 people in all major cities combined.
It's worth being vigilant, but it's not like getting angry and unable to sleep, just like the calm look in the eye of the storm. London thought the situation was dangerous, but local Malayan officials thought it was fine.
The next few negotiations were difficult, and for days Alan Wilson felt like he was anorexic. Su Yang, who volunteered and was willing to negotiate with the British colonial government, had obviously been drinking heavily these days, and had agreed that there was no limit to the degree of drunkenness.
"I told people outside that as far as the matter of independence is concerned, the British have grasped the reason. We are indeed making trouble unreasonably, but in order to safeguard the interests of the Chinese, even if it is unreasonable, we still have to petition. After all, it is only inside the prison. There are tens of thousands of people. We cannot watch our compatriots being beheaded after a government investigation."
Su Yang sat obediently in front of Alan Wilson and discussed everything after returning.
"Oh!" After drinking a glass of wine, Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "This is good. First of all, it avoids the colonial overtones on my side. Secondly, you negotiate with me on behalf of the Chinese, and there are some knowing It’s a color that cannot be done. Everyone knows that in the last incident, it was indeed the Chinese who took advantage of the British army’s vacation to cause bloodshed. Even if I kill tens of thousands of criminals in the prison, it is reasonable.”
"Master Zhongtang!" Su Yang expressed his dissatisfaction in a low voice after hearing the words of the foreign devil in front of him.
At the critical moment, he still saw the ugly face of the colonists. The foreign devils were so hateful.
But Yanmar is still worth caring for.
"Don't worry, this is an excusable thing after all. It will also help the unity of the Chinese people. This matter is over. I believe that you two will be respected people among the Chinese community. Maybe I can Please apply for a Justice of the Peace from the royal family."
Alan Wilson waved his hand to calm down and described a bright future for Su Yang, "Actually, do you have anything to lose? It's just that Mr. Tian has been jailed for a few days, which is the minimum price. Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. Generally speaking, what I want is for the Chinese people to guarantee that they will not cause trouble to the British and Malayan governments. And if you take revenge, you can get the support of your fellow tribesmen. It is nothing more than that this year Malaya has to pay some The financial cost.”
This price is too high. Pamela Mountbatten's umbrella company is indeed not a very powerful medical company at the moment. Its business has just started, but it can still manufacture some aspirin drugs.
As a qualified government, the current colonial government made a difficult decision to use this year's colonial revenue to treat hundreds of thousands of injured people who suddenly appeared, and ordered two million tablets of aspirin.
The hard-earned money of the colonies will be circulated through the Umbrella Company, successfully arriving in London and included in the imperial finances in 1951. This will, on the one hand, make the Umbrella Company considered reliable by Whitehall.
Another advantage is that Alan Wilson could not find such a humanitarian excuse to exploit the colonies. The responsibility lies with all Chinese people. As for becoming a good friend of the Japanese, he himself deserves it.
In this era, Japanese women have not yet become the special Japanese boxers of later generations. Maybe he will visit Japan one day, and the very good Japanese will arrange for two Yamato Nadeshiko to serve him.
Although it is impossible for him to receive the treatment of Emperor Mai, it should not be a problem to obtain short-term treatment.
"Then when will I tell the others what Lord Zhongtang means?" Su Yang took the initiative, "Nowadays, people participating in the petition are generally very angry and think that the government's punishment is too severe."
"You can raise a banner and ask the king to pay attention. Our king is very leisurely. As long as you mention it, I can guarantee that London can hear it." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "I will go back to London when the time comes. Please The Sea Lord will see if he can get a pardon from His Majesty the King."
"But where can we find so many portraits of the king holding petitions?" Su Yang was in trouble. As a British colony, the current British King George VI is naturally the king of Malaya, but not every household has a with a portrait of George VI.
Alan Wilson opened his wallet without saying a word, then quickly changed to another wallet, took out a few Asian pound banknotes, took out one and raised it, and said flatly, "Why don't you have to be flexible? I Several newspapers in London have front-page headlines again."
He estimated that he had not seen such a scene since George VI came to the throne. Countless petitioners sitting on the ground in front of the Malayan Administrative Office held Asian pound banknotes and raised them to petition.
"Isn't it a bit obvious to be so flattering? I'm really turning into a master of the court." Alan Wilson held a telescope and looked at the scene through the well-lit windows of the administrative office.
It was as if I suddenly realized how boring my life in the Qing Dynasty was.
Not to mention him alone, not even the British soldiers behind the barricade had ever seen such a scene. Endless petitioners hold up George VI on banknotes, which has touched upon the issue of the royal family.
Such scenes soon transcended time and space and became a hot topic on the streets of London.
"I think Allen will definitely be a cabinet secretary in the future." General Mountbatten, who was holding the newspaper, said to his youngest daughter with a strange look on his face, "But I don't like this scene, it's very similar to non-violent non-cooperation."
"Father, Alan doesn't like Gandhi either." Pamela Mountbatten corrected with a smile, "But at least we don't have to worry about bloodshed."
Regarding the petitioners' request for King George VI to pay attention to this matter, Alan Wilson's explanation in the telegram was that for the overseas territories of the British Empire, it is indeed very unclear who the important members of the current cabinet are and who the prime minister is. things.
On the contrary, the image of George VI is on the Asian pound, and the locals are still aware of this image.
As for what step we have reached now and whether the incident can be settled smoothly, Alan Wilson said that he is still in the process of arduous testing.
However, in the eyes of the vast majority of melon-eating people, a simple summary of what happened in the distant Asian colonies is that the Chinese conducted a petition to demand the release of the captured criminals. The number was somewhat larger, enough for more than 30,000 people. I heard that these are the figures that have not yet been brought to justice.
The local chief executive believed that it was a matter of maintaining the legal system of the British Empire and public opinion. We cannot give in on this matter, and we are now in a stalemate.
If you look at the alarmist statements in these newspapers, you can guess that there is an atmosphere of tension in the air in Malaya.
Alan Wilson is thinking about countermeasures through daily statistics. Both the cabinet and Whitehall in London want things to calm down immediately. Any government that encounters similar incidents will put stability first.
"You go back and say that it is not possible to release these criminals. But all those captured are confirmed criminals. Once released, the British Empire will pay a huge moral price."
Alan Wilson took out a bill for the purchase of aspirin, but it was indeed written in another name, and said, "This is the number we have calculated recently. The cost of treating Japanese prisoners of war may cost Malaya's tax revenue for a year." And at the same time, if you and the MCA can get more than three million signatures to jointly guarantee the detainees, I can consider returning to London to work on this matter."
