Chapter 767 True Advisor Wilson

"Alan, you're here." The two have met several times, and General Navarre also received help from Malaya. When he saw Allen Wilson coming in, General Navarre was not polite and called him by name.

"Come here and see if I can help. I think the French allies may need me at this time." Alan Wilson sat down directly and explained the purpose of his visit.

General Navarre's energy and energy were different from those of the previous meetings, which shows that the defeat of Dien Bien Phu was still a huge blow. Although it is not an exaggeration to say that he is ten years old, it can still be seen that he has a touch of old age.

It seems that Navarre also feels that his own military career may be greatly affected, or even terminated.

The transfer order from France has not yet been issued. General Navarre is still the commander-in-chief of the French army at this time and still controls the power here.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Navarre did not hide his current worries. In any case, he had lost the battle. In addition to worrying about his future military career, he was also worried about the fate of France.

Coincidentally, Alan Wilson was also worried. All colonial countries were prosperous and suffered losses. Don't think that the defeat of the French army had nothing to do with the British army. If Thailand hadn't been in the front, who said the next one would not be British Malaya. ?

"Help?" General Navarre was stunned, and then asked with a wry smile, "How can you, a British colonial official, help?"

"I also experienced a similar evacuation operation a few years ago. During the evacuation from British India, I was present during the entire process and conducted similar work. So if we encounter something similar again, I think I can provide some experience." Ai Len Wilson mentioned his working experience in British India, and then changed his tone and said, "Of course, some of the nails originally planted in British India were also cracked by Nehru. For example, the Hyderabad state no longer exists. The local Maharaja is a friend of mine, but fortunately, I still found a place for him to play in Malaya."

When it comes to treating friends, Alan Wilson is really not targeting anyone. He feels that he can be the spokesperson of friendship. Whether it is a feudal monarch like Ali Khan or a reactionary force like McCarthy, he has a clear conscience.

General Navarre was stunned. At this time, Alan Wilson was in high spirits and seemed to think this was a very honorable job. Could it be that retreating from the colonies has now become a very honorable thing?

Of course, for Alan Wilson, this was the highlight of his life.

"How can you help? It's just to borrow the British shipping power on the way." General Navarre asked puzzledly.

"There are many considerations for withdrawing troops." Alan Wilson said confidently, "Whether it is for the unity between Britain and France, or for the overall interests of the free world in a larger scope, I am obligated. And I have obtained the support from Whitehall. of approval,

Try to maintain the expansion momentum of pro-Soviet armed forces. "

General Navarre became interested at this time and wanted to hear what the British thought during the withdrawal period.

"If Paris doesn't mind, I suggest that the French army carry out systematic destruction of the areas that can still be controlled in North Vietnam before withdrawing, and try to disintegrate the national power of this little brother of the Soviet Union. This will be good for the stability of neighboring countries in the future, although Destruction cannot permanently solve the problem, but it will definitely be effective within two or three years. As for specific methods, including but not limited to killing livestock in North Vietnam, this will affect agricultural production. I don’t know if there are iron ore found in North Vietnam. , I recommend mining the iron ore if it exists.”

Alan Wilson spoke eloquently. As for basic operations such as blowing up factories, destroying electricity, and looting cultural relics, just mention it. Talking endlessly would make him appear to be a commissioner who has no structure and is very stingy.

It is best to let soldiers from the North African colonies do these actions. On the one hand, it can avoid the casualties of local French soldiers. On the other hand, these soldiers from the North African colonies will have a profound understanding of France's control over North Vietnam in the process of destroying North Vietnam, which is also a colony. Colonial attitude, one might think twice before returning to North Africa.

"Especially this kind of thing that is destined to be condemned, must be done by colonial soldiers." Alan Wilson emphasized in particular, "General Navarre, the colony in the hands of the French is not just one. As far as I know, Algeria is During the colonial process, the French army also encountered fierce resistance. The situation in Vietnam collapsed. If it spread to other colonies, it would likely have a chain reaction."

"It will even have a chain reaction on the British colonies." Upon hearing this, General Navarre pointed out that Alan Wilson's scope was wrong.

"I don't deny this. However, the proportion of ethnic groups in Malaya is conducive to Britain's reconciliation work." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said, "This is a layout that started in 1945, and France was in the war. In the end there was only military action.”

General Navarre knew that what Alan Wilson said was the truth. France quickly began to take over the colonies again after the war and suppressed the independent forces that had developed during the war. It only landed in Madagascar and killed 100,000 people. Fifty thousand people were shot dead in the suppression of petitions in Algeria, not to mention Vietnam.

France's attitude after the war was not unyielding. It was completely different from London's hesitation in repeatedly discussing the independence of British India at that time. It did quickly stabilize the major colonies.

"Maybe I still have a chance to make some contribution to France." General Navarre was silent for a long time, then expressed his approval and praised, "To be professional, you have experienced a troop withdrawal before, so you are indeed quite professional."

"We in the UK have not done anything similar in India. British India suffered from drought at that time, so there was no need to do this." Alan Wilson pushed everything to natural disasters.

In fact, Alan Wilson knew very well that his idea was already similar to Sanguang! policy! However, this kind of thing completely depends on the position. The enemy can call it this, but our side calls it a scorched earth policy. If it still sounds unpleasant, you can change it to a neutral word, such as Jianbi Qingye, or any other word.

General Navarre was noncommittal. He had endorsed the proposals, and the French had little moral burden on this point. It was imperative to weaken North Vietnam's war potential.

"If the previous British military advisors, like Alan, were so enthusiastic, we might have heard more different military opinions." General Navarre obviously meant something when he spoke. The arrival of the British military advisory group was of little use.

"Their advisors are just having fun. The real advisor still needs me to come in person." Alan Wilson's attitude was very good, as if he didn't hear General Navarre's sarcasm, "Have the Viet Minh released the prisoners captured by the French army?" Officers and soldiers.”

"It is being released. It has already started after the Geneva Conference." General Navarre nodded. This was not a secret, and he told Alan Wilson directly.

"This way there is nothing to worry about." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. If the Viet Minh were still holding prisoners of war, the French would not necessarily dare to do so. "Just keep it in place during the operation. All modern facilities are As long as the flag brought by France is carried out, it is natural to take it back now. There is no independence without paying a price."

Of course, this is not all, but this is all he can say to Navarre. After all, these French people are better at it. As for the rest, Consultant Allen decided to do it himself.

There are many Chinese in Vietnam, especially Saigon, the commercial center. These Chinese were mainly engaged in business and played a comprador role in Vietnamese society during Vietnam's colonial period. Their social status was generally very high.

From the perspective of the vast proletariat in the third world, there is naturally nothing to say about the eventual purge of these Chinese businessmen. But Alan Wilson was a colonial commissioner. Although he was not French, he naturally had a good impression of these people.

The family properties of these people were confiscated after the reunification of Vietnam, and most of them who were able to escape fled to the United States. This is why Vietnam, unlike many Southeast Asian countries, does not have any well-known Chinese entrepreneurs.

Unlike the false advisors in the advisory group, this true advisor left the French Army Headquarters and immediately started working. How could there be a true ally like him? He even felt that the French should give him a commissioner's salary, which should not be less than that of the top ten sultans in Malaya.

At this moment, General Navarre is waiting for all the prisoners of the French army to be released. Once the release is completed, he will begin to carry out the operation of taking away all the things brought by France.

The big compradors from Malaya brought by Alan Wilson have already found a way out and are in the process of establishing relationships with their Vietnamese counterparts who share the same culture and race, while also getting to know the ins and outs of the business around Saigon.

"You tell your compatriots in Saigon that there is no need to panic and keep your heart in your stomach." Alan Wilson stood on the balcony of a French villa in Saigon with his back to several compradors he brought with him and said, "The Geneva Conference is twenty-three Of course, the result of the joint discussion between the countries is not irreversible, but North Vietnam does not have this ability. The danger in Saigon is not great for the time being. It is true that the French are about to leave, but as long as the political situation does not change significantly, they will have a good life. It won’t be affected.”

"Since Master Zhongtang said this, I think they will also feel relieved." Tian Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the British guy who turned his back to all living beings and pretended to be the Great Emperor said this, "We have been talking to the Chinese businessmen here these days. When looking at the situation, you can really feel the worry in their hearts.”

"The Chinese businessmen in Hanoi have no choice. If we can notify the channels, let them find a way to leave North Vietnam." Alan Wilson turned around and stretched his neck. "There is still some time until the French army really starts. If we evacuate Hanoi, it will be too late."

Su Yangtian Qianqiu and others nodded, knowing the relationship between Alan Wilson and General Navarre. Since he said so, time is really running out.
