Chapter 768 Ownership of the Inheritance

,

"When your wealth accumulates to a certain level, I can let each of you get the title of Justice of the Peace, and then enter the Legislative Council. By then, you will be considered powerful." Alan Wilson slapped one I still understand the principle of sweet dates, this can only be regarded as the basic rule of the bureaucracy.

The departments of the British Malayan Colony have already learned from Xiangjiang and carried out reforms. In addition to the Executive Bureau, the current real power departments are the Legislative Council. Of course, Alan Wilson also has the power to fully take over this department.

In addition to the administrative work, the only other matters that cannot be interfered with are the British troops stationed in Ma. After all, Malaya cannot be compared with Xiangjiang, a place with a big nose, that can integrate military and political affairs.

No matter how much the current cabinet and Whitehall trusted him as a high commissioner, he would not be able to agree to Alan Wilson taking over the military and political affairs. If he agreed, he would be equivalent to doing Cromwell's work in the colonies.

"Thank you, Master Zhongtang, for your support!" Su Yang's peers looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. It's no wonder. Who doesn't like progress, at least most people do.

"Don't talk about support. I am very good to every friend. The French rely too much on military power, which is a kind of destruction of order. Once the order is destroyed, it will bring a lot of fearless destruction. The British military is more powerful than France. Of course, we can choose the same path, but we know in our hearts that we shouldn’t do that.”

Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Sooner or later, Chinese figures will appear in the colonial government. What we hope is that as many reliable figures as possible will appear and we can jointly build Malaya."

He first pointed out that Britain's military power was stronger than France's to deter him, and then said that everything was negotiable. Although Alan Wilson was not an old bureaucrat, it could even be said that he still had an idealism towards people. But it is also necessary to do this based on reality.

The contradictions between the colonial government and the colony itself had to be hidden. Of course, Alan Wilson pursued great power. Considering that the monarch of Sarawak was Pamela Mountbatten, he also wanted to firmly control Malaya. But at the same time, he was still thinking of ways to hide behind the scenes so that people in the colonies would not feel the existence of the colonial government.

As for the questions raised by the big comprador, Alan Wilson also answered them one by one, helping the comprador friends he brought to discuss how to achieve the goal.

"Master Zhongtang, your words have inspired us a lot." Tian Qianqiu said with admiration.

"The French colonial government is also a colonial government. The businessmen here are just in a different place from you. So you know what my daily work is in Kuala Lumpur, right?" Alan Wilson chuckled and shook his head slightly, "Although I don’t want to criticize myself, but honesty is my nature, and you shouldn’t have known these words.”

His daily job, of course, is to start thinking about how to strengthen the colonial system and destroy the resistance of the colonies every day when he wakes up. Big compradors like Su Yang who have already embarked on the road to success are also the objects of his daily thinking.

"What are you talking about?" Vivien Leigh poked her head from the stairs leading upstairs. Naturally, she knew nothing about Chinese, but Xia Meng, who was also downstairs, could understand and knew a lot. At this time, she came up to ask, " We brought some French bread, which seemed different from what we had in France.”

"Of course, you have to do as the Romans do. Well, Mr. Su and the others may not be used to it." Allen Weir was a little embarrassed. Not to mention Su Yang and the others, he himself lost his appetite when he heard about French baguettes, but when he thought about it, Tastes vary from place to place, so the national treasure had good intentions, so he didn't say anything.

"I thought about it, there are a lot of Chinese here, and there is food for you." Vivien Leigh smiled slightly, raised her arm in greeting, and went downstairs.

"Thank you, madam!" Su Yang and several others expressed their gratitude at the same time. There was no one at the stairs.

oops! Alan Wilson couldn't help scratching his scalp, the title Madam might bring trouble. Vivien Leigh didn't understand, but there was someone downstairs who did.

All in all, it’s not worth thinking too much about. It’s just that when we went downstairs to eat, the little girl Xia Meng looked at Ellen Wilson with a strange look on her face. To say that she had noticed it before, this time she was sure about the title of Madam. , the colonial official had this kind of relationship with her boss.

"He seems to be much younger than the boss." Xia Meng thought in her heart. She had heard that this senior official was young and he was of the same age as her. Thinking of this, Xia Meng couldn't help but wonder why she had thought of this.

After the meal, Su Yang and others left one after another. After some analysis by the British Colonial Commissioner, they had learned about the conditions of their Vietnamese counterparts in the same environment. The principles were similar. Having gained something, they decided to follow this method. Ideas to move.

"Do you value them very much?" Although Vivien Leigh didn't understand Chinese, there was someone downstairs who did, and she could understand everything. She understood what the man was talking about upstairs.

"They will become successful people in the future and can do many things on our behalf." Alan Wilson picked his teeth with a toothpick and slowly explained, "This time, I have my mission and they have theirs. Borrow it I don’t think the Chinese people’s local sentiment is too excessive.”

"But the Chinese are the majority in Malaya. If you support them, will they want more in the future?" Vivien Leigh was a little worried. She was afraid that her man's efforts would be in vain, and she didn't particularly like this colony.

"The majority position of the Chinese is temporary. The fertility rate of the Malays is slightly higher than that of the Chinese. Except for Ali Khan, all the nine sultans are Malays. I have to find a way to separate the two ethnic groups. ” explained Alan Wilson.

Just as the rural population must have a higher fertility rate than the urban population, he has allocated most of the land to the Malays.

The Chinese shoulder the mission of being workers, and only this generation of Chinese can still maintain a strong desire to have children. The next generation of Malays will catch up in numbers.

After all, the Chinese population advantage is only a relative majority, and this advantage can be smoothed out in one generation.

"The Legislative Council also needs them. I can't keep looking at the British troops stationed there. I am only one person. There are more than 40,000 British officers and soldiers, and I can't see them." Alan Wilson also gave a reason. The colonial garrison There will definitely be conflicts with the colonial population. In this regard, Britain is already considered a top student. It cannot be compared with the French, and it is much better than the United States.

But conflicts do exist. Alan Wilson has encountered many similar cases, and he has adhered to his consistent ethics, showing mercy to mid-level and senior officers while striking hard at the soldiers.

Mainly fines were imposed on mid-level and high-level officers, while ruthless measures were taken against the soldiers. This is already not easy, that is, Admiral Mountbatten takes over both the aristocracy and the military. Would any other commissioner dare to deal with people from the military all the time?

"That's a problem!" Vivien Leigh also understood Alan Wilson's difficulties, and then asked, "The British troops stationed there will not be the same as the French troops, right?"

"That won't happen. It is far better than the US military. British military discipline was visible to all of Europe during World War II. It's just that the army is composed of people. It's impossible to expect military discipline to restrain everything." Alan Wilson replied. road.

At the critical moment, the French once again became a good shield. It is not a slander, it is all facts.

The late colonial period was a wonderful world for experienced people like Alan Wilson. The mother country needed independent colonial security, but it was best to be developed too well.

So there are still many doors here. Take Alan Wilson for example. Before he left, he distributed the fixed assets of British India to the Tata, Birla and other big Indian families, and also distributed a lot of British right of settlement.

At this moment, if he were the commissioner here, everything would be easier, but he is just here to help. He can only give advice to the French, but it may not work.

"At least for now, the legacy left behind is still under the control of France. You still have the power to distribute. We also have to do some things within our power. For example, focus on supporting a group of reliable people. These people cannot be ignored by the mainstream nation. Accept it, and only in this way can we seek support from foreign forces."

General Navarre thoughtfully nodded and said, "This is indeed what should be done. Allen, what group do you think is suitable?"

"Ethnic groups with an embarrassing status and a certain degree of power have no choice but the Chinese. Other small ethnic groups are further behind than the Vietnamese, and now it is too late." Alan Wilson told the truth, the Chinese groups in Southeast Asia have been in the colonies for a long time. Does this work?

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that this was the only choice. There was no second choice in the visible field of vision.

When dealing with North Vietnam, France was determined to take away everything it could, and if it couldn't be taken away, destroy it. There is nothing to say, but this cannot be done to South Vietnam. Even if France wants to do this, the United States will not agree.

If South Vietnam is also completely destroyed, and both North and South Vietnam become proletarians, how can the United States resist the Soviet power moving south? Therefore, in South Vietnam, France cannot treat North Vietnam the same way as it does to let South Vietnam maintain its ability to resist the north.

France now faces the same choice in South Vietnam as Britain did in British India. It must choose a group of reliable people to transfer its colonial heritage.

Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the United States had long been concerned about France's colonial legacy, and he was also concerned about it. Otherwise, what would he do if he brought the Chinese compradors from Malaya? France's colonial heritage is destined to be taken over. Americans think it should be them, and he also thinks it should be Britain.

General Navarre decided to give Alan Wilson a gift to express his gratitude, but Alan Wilson refused. He came in the spirit of imperialist unity, how could he accept such a small favor?
