This will definitely take a few years to wait, but on the other side of the world, Alan Wilson continues to support Britain's nuclear tests, while at the same time attacking Jakarta with both civil and military threats as if he actually has nuclear weapons in hand.

It is unclear how long Sukarno can be fooled, but even if nuclear weapons cannot fool him, there are still 200,000 coalition forces around Indonesia, including the British army, that can be dispatched at any time. The encirclement around Indonesia can be considered impregnable.

Judging from the population of Indonesia, the military power deployed by the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal and Australia is probably similar to the military power deployed by the Soviet Union in Asia during the confrontation. It is not much stronger than the European direction, but it is already very powerful for Indonesia. Stronger.

Since 800,000 Soviet troops can cause huge psychological pressure, there is no reason why 200,000 coalition troops cannot cause the same pressure on Jakarta, not to mention that Jakarta is still a coastal city.

Coming home from Whitehall, Alan Wilson, who coincidentally arrived home with Pamela Mountbatten, recounted the questioning in Whitehall. Then asked, "Dear, how much financial support does Mr. de Havilland need for rocket research?"

"Dear, it is estimated that support of no less than 10 million pounds is needed. However, I can still support this investment." Pamela Mountbatten knew the purpose of the question at this time. "The strategic missile project happens to be Deha What Mr. Whelan is studying is internally codenamed Blue Light Project. The entire project is expected to receive an allocation of 70 million pounds. The initial 1,000 pounds requires the company to invest first. Originally, this project could be financed by banks. , but I decided to pay in advance first. The Ministry of Defense’s requirement was that the range should exceed 1,500 miles, and the rocket engine would be provided by Rolls-Royce.”

"Oh, my dear, you have sacrificed so much for this country." Alan Wilson was greatly surprised and admired Pamela Mountbatten's sense of ownership. It turned out that for a beautiful woman like Pamela Mountbatten, There is still such a thing as patriotism.

Alan Wilson vaguely remembered that Britain did have a strategic missile in the early Cold War. Because the research and development costs and Britain's national strength became increasingly unsustainable, it was eventually abandoned.

In fact, considering France's independent development of nuclear weapons, what can't the UK support? It is nothing more than handing over guns and surrendering, admitting that the United States and Britain are no longer on equal footing, and acknowledging that the United States is the elder brother.

Britain's military expenditure totals around one billion pounds. To be honest, it takes an allocation of 70 million pounds to support the strategic missile program. To be honest, it takes it very seriously.

If the blue light goes well, it will definitely be transplanted to nuclear submarines in the future. Alan Wilson, who was thinking about it, heard new news from Pamela Mountbatten, "Alim came to me today. I heard that you are back. I want to I want to meet you."

"Oh, the Monarch's butler." Alan Wilson was stunned and immediately understood, "Out of deep personal friendship, I am willing to help as much as possible. Maybe something good will happen."

He knew why Alim showed up so eagerly when he knew he was back in London. Of course, it was to sell the crown of Sabah. There were several administrative districts in British Malaya where sultans did not exist, and important ones like Penang and Malacca It is best not to have a place.

Then Sabah, next to Sarawak, is currently the only administrative region without a Sudan. This consideration did not include the Isthmus of Kra, because the Isthmus of Kra was only annexed to Malaya not long ago. Strictly speaking, the Isthmus of Kra has always been under military control.

It is obvious that Alim found Pamela Mountbatten this time, definitely to find a crown for his master and continue his career as a monarch.

However, Alan Wilson has already said that this crown is definitely not cheap in the current world environment.

For example, the good thing that happened when the Iraqi royal family was driven out by the French in Syria and then directly arranged by the British in Iraq will never happen again.

If there were no interests, London would not take risks because of its traditional harmonious relations.

Alan Wilson really wanted to promote this matter. The key was that British Malaya was indeed short of money. Before he took office, he himself said that he would never cause a financial burden to London. He circled around Africa, Australia and even Newfoundland. , dig out some money and use it for the development of Malaya.

What's a slight financial strain if Ali Khan is on board? It would be impossible for Ali Khan to solve Britain's financial pressure, even if he had become the world's richest man. But wouldn't it be easy to solve Malaya's finances?

One day later, he lamented that there were no hard-working officials in the British Empire like him. Alan Wilson got up impatiently and went out in a hurry. Even if he was very willing in his heart, he still had to show his sincerity in lowering the price.

Things that are too easy to obtain are often not cherished. He will not cheat his friends, but he will not do it for nothing.

Alan Wilson was already familiar with Ali Khan's London housekeeper, and he even helped take care of Hepburn.

After the meeting, he did not insist on getting any money from Ali Khan. He introduced the basic situation of British Malaya and answered several questions that Ali Khan was very concerned about.

"There is no land like Hyderabad, not to mention me, even London. It is a territory the size of the island of Great Britain. Sabah is not small in area, but its population is really small, and Malaya It’s not that the Maharaja can’t adapt at all, the local environment is a hundred times better than Hyderabad. The warm sandy beaches and clear water are very famous.”

"A small population is actually not a bad thing. Hyderabad has a population of more than 20 million, but they are all opponents of the Maharaja. And there is an Indian community there, so they should not object to the Maharaja's arrival."

Allen Wilson introduced various benefits, and Alim thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Allen, the Maharaja has always believed that within the scope of friends, you are impeccable and you are the most precious friend in his life. Mr. Alan. Of course you are very willing to change places to gain support, and you are even willing to pay huge sums of money. After arriving, you are also willing to lead the subjects of the territory to live a good life, but this process is destined to be difficult and requires your help."

"There is no problem. To be honest, I am about to return to Asia recently, but for the sake of the Maharaja, I am willing to work in the Colonial Department." Alan Wilson nodded and agreed, "Who makes us friends?"

Since the last time Alan Wilson talked to Ali Khan's son, Ali Khan has collected a lot of information about Sabah. Through documents and photos, Ali Khan is very satisfied with the situation in Sabah.

Although it is only one-third the size of Hyderabad, the environment is indeed very pleasant. Ali Khan is still the chief minister of Hyderabad and still has his own guard, so security is not a problem.

Ali Khan, who did not want to end his career as a monarch so easily, still could not resist the temptation of a crown. Not to mention that the area of ​​Sabah is not small. Even if it is only one-tenth of Hyderabad, he is still willing to accept it. Some expenses are not a problem at all.

Along the way, Alan Wilson was thinking about how to put the fact of selling a colonial crown in a gentle way.

But in the end, he decided to tell the truth. After hearing the truth, Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke's eyes were full of the meaning of your kid's tricks, "Alan, although it is a good thing to have strong energy for work, but this is not a trivial matter."

"Ali Khan was once the richest man in the world!" Alan Wilson expressed coyly. He had indeed bowed to money.

"Of course I know that the Maharaja is the richest man in the world, and I also know that London's upper class respects the Maharaja. But now this matter is not easy. This is not the era of Prime Minister George. In the past, we could randomly assign a place and let the selected people People become kings. At that time, the prime minister just drew a mark on the map and it was the birth of a new country."

Norman Brooke spoke with a nostalgic look on his face, expressing that this matter was not a trivial matter, and said with a heavy face, "I wonder how much money your esteemed majesty is willing to pay to accomplish this matter."

"I think 100 million pounds may be a bit unaffordable, but 50 million pounds should not be a problem." Alan Wilson muttered weakly.

"Makins! Do you have any travel plans recently? If not, go on a business trip to India." Norman Brook picked up the phone and waited for a while before ordering, "Nehru? No, go to Hyderabad, we have A distinguished guest is willing to negotiate a business deal with us at this difficult time. Okay, you can leave immediately. Remember, this is a big deal and must be kept confidential."

After putting down the phone, Norman Brook turned his attention to Alan Wilson again, "If everything goes well, you will arrange things in Sabah. Don't think that this matter is simple. If Ali Khan hadn't received the attention of the royal family, it wouldn't have happened." It's so easy. The Colonial Office, the Foreign Office and even the Prime Minister will ask about it, and it still needs to be hidden from Nehru."

"The main thing is that the maharaja is indeed worthy of respect!" Alan Wilson also said that he was impressed by Ali Khan's charming personality and was willing to help.

Of course, these tens of millions of efforts are incomparable to the intensity of Whitehall's personal attention.

"I am doing this all for the development of Malaya. If I were not afraid that you would encounter financial difficulties, I would not make an exception at all." Norman Brook expressed concern in front of his subordinates in a timely manner, all for the sake of his valued subordinates and the colonial people. well-being.

"Nearly one million citizens of Sabah will definitely be grateful for Sir's decision. This decision is great!" Alan Wilson took advantage of the opportunity to express his admiration. When everything in a country is in trouble, manpower like the Cabinet Secretary is needed to turn the tide. .

After leaving Whitehall, Alan Wilson told the news to Maharaja Ali Khan, a man of nearly 100 million people, through Alim. This matter has attracted the attention of Whitehall. If he had not been unable to escape, he would have followed up on it personally. , now Lord Sheffield is in charge.
