Japan's political status has always been a weakling. Let alone the world at this stage, even in the 21st century, Japan has the lowest status among the Group of Seven. The economic giant, military dwarf, and political dwarf are talking about Japan.
Even Japan in the 21st century has such a political status. If the United States does not support Japan now, Japan will be under siege.
However, Alan Wilson also contacted the British Ambassador to the United Nations, Lord Parison, via telegram, who also told him of the United States' concerns.
After losing Hokkaido, the United States was also worried about the expansion of Japan's pro-Soviet forces and had doubts about Australia and New Zealand's proposals. It was worried that Japan might turn to the Soviet Union if it pushed Japan too far.
"The imagination is quite big!" Alan Wilson simply doubted his own eyes. This possibility only existed theoretically. It is almost impossible to become a reality. Do the US troops stationed in Japan have a living?
Even if we don't talk about the existence of the US military stationed in Japan, most countries are wary of the Soviet Union. It is a country that advocates equality for everyone. What country does not have a powerful class?
Japan's pre-war aristocracy retains more power than Germany's. Will those wealthy and powerful chaebols from the Meiji era to the present turn to the Soviet Union? Isn't that suicide?
After all, the United States is not the hope of mankind in the 21st century. It still has something to learn in terms of being dark-hearted and thick-skinned. Alan Wilson said in his reply that there will never be a threat of Japan turning to the Soviet Union. If there is, it will be very easy. Being suppressed is not worth the fuss.
Of course, this is a private telegram with Lord Parison, and the other party has been told not to leak it. To persuade the Americans to agree, it is of course impossible to suppress such remarks with a true turn.
We are all decent people, and we must come up with something emotional to win recognition from Americans.
It's easy to start from an emotional point of view. Australia and New Zealand, as well as the United Kingdom and the United States, are countries whose blood is thicker than water. We all have the same culture and race. If in the current peaceful world, the United States does not support the legitimate demands of the two countries, then peace will really come to an end. When the Soviet Union confronted each other, could the two countries still exert their full strength?
Australia certainly can, but the United States doesn't know. As for the remaining party, the Philippines is the earliest and largest colony of the United States. No country has as deep a relationship as the Philippines and the United States. If the United States wants to set a benchmark, its first choice is of course the Philippines.
Alan Wilson knew that the Philippines had low hips in the 1960s, but the United States did not know that the Philippines is currently developing very well and is definitely a rising star in Asia.
Alan Wilson embodies the Whitehall social butterfly side of himself;
It was not difficult to express in the telegram that the Americans' doubts were unnecessary, with the tone of "no one knows the East better than me". As long as the United States leaks a little word, the Japanese government will immediately show that no one knows how to be a dog better than me.
"The establishment of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, coupled with compensation, should pay out some of the dividends of the Korean War, right?" Alan Wilson looked in the direction of the Land of the Rising Sun in the northeast and expressed concern.
The establishment of the Japan Self-Defense Force will lead to investment in military expenditures in Japan. Even if the United States is willing to support Japan, it cannot even reimburse Japan's military expenses. The Japanese government will always have to bear part of it.
This time, if the Philippines is not making the claim alone, it will be joined by Australia and New Zealand. Alan Wilson is looking forward to the emergence of a suitable number, which will allow Japan to accumulate funds to support industrial upgrading so quickly.
After all, British Malaya was a colony, and the original intention of British support was to be able to bear the British military expenditure. British Malaya was under pressure on this point. Now Japan also has pressure on military expenditure, and the two sides are evenly matched.
Alan Wilson very much hopes that the Philippines, which has escaped from fighting alone, can help each other with Australia and New Zealand and steal a piece of meat from the Japanese, although this has nothing to do with him.
The stability of Malaya was still his biggest concern. British Malaya was indeed facing Indonesian infiltration, but it was not as severe as he reported to the country.
On this day, he and East Malaysia Commissioner Eder came to a prison at the border of Sarawak and Sabah to see the captured Indonesian infiltrators and prisoners captured for other cases. There is nothing special about the name of the prison. It is called Qingshan Detention Center, a very neutral name.
"We can catch Indonesian infiltrators every month. If we didn't help each other with the Dutch, it would be really difficult to prevent them." Edel accompanied his immediate boss to introduce the situation of Qingshan Detention Center.
Alan Wilson kept nodding. This was the result of the Netherlands taking control of Kalimantan. Historically, the armed infiltrators airdropped by Indonesia have made the British extremely troublesome and difficult to guard against.
The fundamental reason is that Indonesia's territory is adjacent to East Malaysia. Faced with such a long border, the British troops stationed in Malaya were helpless. Now that the Netherlands controls the island of Kalimantan, this penetration has been considered very gentle.
"The other area is for general criminals. After some necessary labor here, they will be released at the end of the period." Edel pointed to another field where many less dangerous prisoners were working.
"It looks pretty good!" Alan Wilson sincerely praised, what a harmonious scene, but this can only be achieved in a place like a prison. "We have to strike hard against the infiltration madman. We would rather kill three people by mistake." No one should be let go, there is no need to re-educate the more dangerous infiltrators, they must be cleaned up regularly."
"I understand, commissioner!" Edel understood. He knew Alan Wilson's temper very well. If you fall behind, you may not be beaten. It mainly depends on whether the commissioner wants to hit someone today.
Indonesia believes that it has good reasons to merge with Malaysia. In addition to both countries being distributed in the Malay Archipelago, their main ethnic groups evolved from the ancient Malays, and their languages, religions, cultures, etc. are very similar. This It is the basis of Indonesia’s “great power ambition”.
This is not a theory invented by Sukarno. This idea of a Greater Indonesia had been widely spread as early as when Indonesia was still called the Dutch East Indies.
There was also a certain market in the British colonies, where similar "Pan-Malayism" emerged. The two factions have also privately discussed the idea of a single Malay state after independence.
The prisoners in Qingshan Detention Center are not all infiltrators from Indonesia, many of them are locals.
But today, Alan Wilson has judged that helping the Netherlands occupy Kalimantan Island ultimately helped Britain. With the help of the Dutch, Britain's threat from Indonesian penetration has been much smaller.
In a good mood, Alan Wilson also chatted with a substitute who was considered a general criminal for a while and asked him why he came in.
"Drunk and causing trouble!" A look of remorse flashed across the Chinese man's face, and at the same time he expressed his determination to the official in front of him to change his past.
"It's perfectly normal to cause trouble after drinking." Alan Wilson smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "This is not an unforgivable crime. I believe you will not be detained for a long time. Think about it after you get out. Find some hobbies for self-cultivation and change your temper. The employment situation in Malaya is so good now. As long as you are willing to work hard, I think it is not a problem to have a good family life."
There were also Chinese secret societies in British Malaya, such as those organized by gangs. But as long as the British colonial government was not targeted, Alan Wilson was willing to give the other side the soil to survive.
After all, the Chinese themselves lack the deterrent power to keep people away due to some problems with their characteristics. Although the gang organization is not very powerful, it is still somewhat useful. You must know the Malay faith, which is the most successful religion and peace religion in the agricultural era.
After leaving Castle Peak Detention Center, Alan Wilson's trip to East Malaysia is over. A group of anti-British elements may disappear from the world, but this will not damage the prosperity and stability of British Malaya.
Back in Kuala Lumpur, he started his boring life as a commissioner again. He worked until two o'clock in the afternoon every day, looking to the west and wondering when the logistics support would come. The second brother who was invincible in the world was dissatisfied.
But the first person to come put him in a dilemma. When Princess Margaret came to this Eastern colony with the servants of the royal family, Alan Wilson was not even happy at all.
"Brother-in-law!" Princess Margaret's eyes lit up when she saw Alan Wilson, and she greeted with a smile.
"Well!" Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and answered the question, "Why didn't you come with Pamela this time?"
Since the life of the royal family has become so free, it is unreasonable to say that in the era of Prince Harry, a troubled child, he would leave the UK and run around when he had nothing to do.
But it's only 1953, and Princess Margaret is running around everywhere when she has nothing to do. Isn't she a little too free?
"Pamela will come back in a few days after she has finished her work. I am bored at home, so why don't I go out for a walk first?" Princess Margaret's heart was pounding, answering her brother-in-law's doubts.
Alan Wilson nodded, thinking that would be good, so he politely welcomed the princess to Malaya. The Queen's sister came here to express the importance that the British Empire attached to Malaya, and such words continued to be uttered.
But when there were no other people, the relationship between the two changed again. Margaret acted quite proactively, completely different from how she behaved in public.
"Your Highness, if you do this again..." Alan Wilson warned with his eyes and said clearly, "I will have a clear conscience."
Mr. Zhongtang's contribution to Britain is enough, and he deserves some rewards, not to mention he is so proactive.
