Chapter 686: Ambassador to Germany Burgess

After several transitions, Alan Wilson returned to Kuala Lumpur, where he had been away for several months. At the same time, he also brought the harvest of this trip, that is, the market he found for the industrialization of Malaya.

He found export markets for the colonies he administered, at least in the Iran negotiations.

There are also the real estate rejuvenation strategy in British Africa that has been launched, the airport project in the Middle East, and the Aswan Dam project that is still only an idea. These are all good things that can promote the development of Malaya industry.

At present, Alan Wilson can't think of any external conditions to strive for. A few days later, a meeting of the Commissioners of the Colony of British Malaya was held to talk about the needs of other colonies.

"Even if these colonies are to be independent in the end, we need to establish a sufficiently stable and obedient superstructure. Otherwise, these colonies may become countries inclined to the Soviet Union in the future."

When talking about the African real estate rejuvenation strategy, Alan Wilson explained the importance of this to the British Empire.

As for the direct evidence in hand to persuade subordinates, it is the fourth five-year plan of the Soviet Union and the first five-year plan after the war. Britain is doing its best to get rid of the aftermath of the war.

Of course, Allen Wilson knew in his heart that this kind of recovery of the Soviet Union cannot be learned by ordinary countries. Seven years is not a long time for the death of nearly 30 million people. If we use the metaphor of trauma, the Soviet Union sprinkled gunpowder on the wound to stop the bleeding after being injured, instead of choosing to rest slowly.

In fact, the Soviet Union could not rest in peace. After all, since 1946 after the war, hostility between the two sides had already emerged. If it hadn't been for the fact that Britain was also trying its best to get rid of the financial crisis and had been avoiding confrontation, NATO would not have waited until 1952 to emerge.

When the subordinates observed the results of the five -year plan of the Soviet Union, Allen Wilson continued, "In the past eight years, we have to work as much as possible to solve the financial difficulties encountered in the local area from British India to British Malaya. The general financial difficulties are no longer a problem. Local, this is the third time Britain made a choice. If it fails this time, we still watch the British Empire honestly to become the past. "

The long-term problem of the United Kingdom is that when building the imperial armed forces, all resources come from the mainland. Once you want to find a colony to share the burden, you will often fail. At the beginning, the United Kingdom let the thirteen North American states share the defense costs of the empire, and then the United States became independent.

Later, they chose British Canada, but the Canadians were unwilling. In the end, they still relied on the support of British India to maintain the military power of the empire on which the sun never sets.

From this we can see how important British India is to Britain. Once India becomes independent, the pressure on Britain's military spending will increase significantly. Relying on the finances of the British mainland, it is impossible to maintain the existing 800,000 standing army.

"Are the data released by the Soviet Union accurate? The economic size of the Soviet Union is already twice that of the mainland?" Edel looked at the five-year plan report in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Are the Soviets lying?"

"Let's just take it as true." Alan Wilson wondered if you thought the Soviet cadres were British civil servants, or explained, "In any case, if the economies of the two countries are the same size, when will the UK need to use an alliance to kill a weak opponent?"

The current situation is actually very simple. The US economy is more than twice the size of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet economy is already about twice the size of the UK. Moreover, the potentials of the two countries are completely different. The lives of native British citizens must far exceed those of Soviet citizens, but the growth will be much slower.

"The necessary development of Malaya needs the full support of the native land. The price is that the colonies under our management must bear the military expenditure, and the native land cannot afford the expenditure alone. If this cannot be done, the current empire's 800,000 standing army will still be unable to maintain. Once it falls into a vicious circle,

We will not have enough strength to maintain the stability of the colony. For this reason, Malaya will receive more care than India for the intensity of industrial transfer. At the same time, from next year, part of the financial expenditure of British Malaya will be included in the local military expenditure. "

"Commissioner, do you want to buy a few years, or will it cause turmoil here?" Alisa asked with some concern, "At the beginning, the thirteen states in North America were taxed, and they finally became independent."

"Through industrial transfer and export markets, I believe this feeling can be diluted. The matter of sharing military expenditures has to be carried out from the very beginning. Otherwise, when the development reaches a certain level, people here will not agree to increase this expenditure."

"It seems that we need to work more on the accounts." Edel fiddled with the pen in his hand, shaking his head slightly, "It depends on whether this year's export data looks good. If it looks good, it should be fine."

"This is what trade is useful for. The development of Malaya will gradually promote the consolidation of the imperial preferential system. And over time, it will also help maintain British influence in the colonies."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows when he mentioned this, "Well, at the beginning of the year, I said that I wanted 10 million tons of steel, and the goal remains the same. As long as we can produce it, we will have a way to sell it."

The main purpose of this meeting is to share military expenditures and complete the replacement of British India by British Malaya. There is a demand for real estate to make the country prosperous, and Malaya will export it.

The only bottleneck that can limit the current Malaya is actually the population problem, but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of people nearby.

During the time when Alan Wilson was away, the news from Asia was that the Korean War had entered a stable stage. Another thing was that the Philippines filed a claim for compensation from Japan, and the amount of compensation was 8 billion U.S. dollars.

"My son and godson are fighting." Alan Wilson's mouth became "Oh", thinking about how to support him.

It might be too explicit for a colonial commissioner to do this, but why not do it if it can trip Japan up? Those Japanese social animals will have to work hard for a while.

Elpidio Quirino is the current President of the Philippines. During World War II, his wife and daughter died in the hands of the Japanese army. It is conceivable that such a person as president would demand compensation.

Malaya has already released the prisoners of war, and now it is unreasonable to ask to be included in the compensation. But this matter can still be sidelined, for example, to talk about the issue of Australian prisoners of war.

His wife, Pamela Mountbatten, is still in London, but she will soon go to Western Australia to wait for her baby to avoid the coming bad weather. Alan Wilson sent a telegram. On the one hand, she wanted to report her safety.

Once this matter is done, Britain can express its support behind Australia.

It is a pity that the United Kingdom cannot join the ranks of claiming compensation, because Germany has caused more damage to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has expressed its understanding, and it is easy to lose ground if it only holds on to Japan. Australia does not have this problem.

"Understood, Japan is your competitor for managing the colony. I will help!" Pamela Mountbatten's telegram immediately agreed to help, and said that she would go to Australia in a few days, and also mentioned that Princess Margaret would also accompany her.

"Can't I hide?" Alan Wilson murmured dumbfoundingly when he saw the news.

The boat was naturally straight when it reached the bridge, and he stopped thinking about it, and began to inspect some developed industries in Malaya.

If the ambassador to Japan, Burgess, had not arrived in Malaya, he would not have stayed in Kuala Lumpur. The key is that Burgess also brought MI6 reporters in disguise, and these reporters had already investigated something.

This is something that Alan Wilson has always been concerned about. He recorded the massacres of the US military not to embarrass the United States. It is to serve the United Kingdom. After all, compared with the old colonial empire of the United Kingdom, the role of the United States is still quite glorious.

Although the rulers of all countries know the virtues of the United States, ordinary people are easily deceived. Especially in some colonies, the United States is always regarded as the savior.

This MI6 investigation has gathered massacres by the US and South Korean governments. The most tragic is the "Guardian Alliance Incident" led by the South Korean government. The "National Conservation Alliance" was established by the South Korean government in 1949 to re-educate communist sympathizers. At that time, in order to increase the number of people, many civilians who were not sympathizers of communism were also coerced or lured to register as members. Therefore, within half a year of its establishment, the number of members of the Baodao League reached 300,000.

After the outbreak of the Korean Civil War, the South Korean government ordered the "cleaning up" of members of the Guidance Alliance.

In the Jeju Island incident, the U.S. and South Korean troops killed 30,000 local residents. There is also the Laogenli incident, which was an incident in which the US military took the lead. Similar to the massacre of civilians, this time the investigation report was brought out.

"Great, if these things are going to be exposed. I see how Americans hold up the banner of morality!" Alan Wilson laughed heartily while holding a small part of the investigation report.

Immediately, Alan Wilson realized that it seemed that being so happy about such incidents would damage his image, so he changed the subject to Burgess and said, "Burgess, you don't actually have to follow. Have you finished your work?"

"I received a transfer order to be the ambassador of the Lord Germany." Burgess shrugged and explained.

Whitehall really has a sharp eye, and he spotted Burgess at a glance. Alan Wilson was deeply impressed by Whitehall's vision, and opened his mouth reluctantly, "Congratulations."
