Chapter 781 Return to Malaya
"I'm worried that Hong Kong is not safe. This is very worrying." Vivien Leigh said with a worried look on her face. "With this situation, maybe one day Hong Kong will no longer be in British hands."
"If you are referring to a hundred years, then it will definitely not be there in a hundred years. Xiangjiang is the product of the lease treaty and has a time limit. The danger is not great before the time limit. If David goes to school there, he can It is a great achievement to have the civil servants in Xiangjiang solved." Alan Wilson replied solemnly, "I know where you are worried, but if you believe me, there will be no problem."
"Of course I believe you." Vivien Leigh got into Alan Wilson's arms, "I'm afraid I won't receive the best education."
"The aristocrats in the country are still very complacent and are not a good group. If you want to go to an aristocratic school, you must have a greater family background and financial resources than them. Your financial resources are enough, but your family background is still a little behind. "
Alan Wilson is telling the truth. It takes time for aristocrats to become approachable. It is not yet time for future generations to keep their heads down and be a good person. The British aristocracy is still very fussy and fastidious.
As for going to school in the United States, Alan Wilson would never agree. He was afraid that because of his son with Vivien Leigh, the Americans would discover and restrain him in the future. In addition to going to the mainland, other European countries are also an option, but after thinking about it, Xiangjiang is still more reliable than these European countries.
Vivien Leigh has gone the way of Greta Garbo. Since A Streetcar Named Desire won her second Oscar, she has been in a virtual hiatus, but it has not been announced yet. From now on, Vivien Leigh will only work behind the scenes in the film and television industry, focusing on raising her husband and raising her children. It can be said that how to educate her son is more important.
When asked about the development of Xiangjiang, Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, “As far as Xiangjiang’s location is concerned, even if I serve as the commissioner of Malaya for twenty years, I may not be able to make the people of Malaya catch up with the income of the people of Xiangjiang. That is almost the only outlet for a market with hundreds of millions of people, and you cannot be envious of it."
Moreover, he had already discussed with Whitehall on the distribution of Asian colonies. British Malaya would serve as an industrial base and Hong Kong would serve as a financial center. Everyone knew which of the two areas was easier to make money.
However, it is necessary for everyone to perform their own duties. It is best not to put all your eggs in one basket. It would not be reassuring if Malaya had everything. The development of modular and flawed development would be even more reassuring.
Regarding the education of the next generation, the two had reached a consensus, and the national treasure was finally persuaded by the imperial commissioner.
The reason is this. Alan Wilson feels that in a place like Xiangjiang, he can give his children more care. Of course, it is possible to do it in the UK, but there are too many local monks and too many people who are more powerful than him, so it is better to cultivate them in Hong Kong.
The next day, good news came from North Vietnam. A ship full of French troops had rushed out of the Red River Estuary, marking the initial progress in the evacuation of the French troops in North Vietnam. This is something to be happy about.
Alan Wilson took the British treasure who had the same status as his wife, as well as Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun, who might have the same status in the future, and prepared to appreciate the charm of Saigon, the Paris of the East.
Sometimes Alan Wilson wonders, why are there so many oriental Parises in the world? How did the French create this impression in this regard? However, Paris of the East is not a good name. At least in the eyes of many white people, it is synonymous with the land of fireworks.
A group of Americans were having a party, hugging and flirting with Vietnamese girls with scantily clad clothes and hot bodies. No one here cares about politics. They don't talk about "wind and cloud", only "wind and moon".
Vivien Leigh secretly pinched the man's weakness and complained about why he came to such a place. Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun were a little uncomfortable, thinking that this man meant something and was hinting at something.
"It's really bad. Are you like this in Kuala Lumpur when I'm not around?" Vivien Leigh complained softly, but she didn't dare to make any obvious moves. The key was that she was afraid of attracting attention.
"I really don't have time!" Alan Wilson thought to himself. If he had time to deal with such an occasion,
It will only make the physical fitness that is already very difficult to cope with go down to another level. Now there is a sister-in-law in Kuala Lumpur who is eyeing her.
"Who believes you? It's not because I don't like them. The movie queen has eaten too much and she doesn't like these country girls anymore." Vivien Leigh had an I-don't-know-you expression and gave the man a blank look.
Although this is also a fact, it is a bit bad to say it. After leaving the nightclub and getting into the car, Alan Wilson hugged Vivien Leigh and chewed her fiercely, which made Xia Meng and Yaqian Caixun, who also got in the car, feel uncomfortable.
Although there were armed conflicts when the French troops withdrew from North Vietnam, the whole process was considered a near miss. What remains is some handover, which refers to whose hands South Vietnam will fall after France leaves.
While France has not ruled out struggling, Alan Wilson knows it is impossible not to be taken advantage of by the Americans.
Alan Wilson, who had already set a time to leave, began to pay a last visit to relevant forces before leaving. If the Diem Group were not an American force, he would have wanted to ask Diem if he could put his property in a British bank.
It’s a pity that this can only be thought about. In a few years, Diem may feel that his wings have become stronger and he will choose to share risks, but now he definitely does not have the courage. At least when Emperor Bao Dai is still the ruler of South Vietnam in name, Diem will not choose As a young person, it is inevitable to cling to the thighs of Americans.
I went to Emperor Baoda's palace again, but unfortunately this time the queen did not show up, which was a bit regretful. After leaving the palace of Emperor Bao Dai, Alan Wilson went to the U.S. Embassy. He and the Americans had never known each other before, showing off the unique style of the Saigon boxing champion. It is estimated that only twenty years later, the Americans will be proficient in Saigon Iron Fist Olympics. Only then can we be on an equal footing with him.
Finally, he arrived at the French Army Headquarters in Saigon and said goodbye to the French Commander-in-Chief, General Navarre.
The two of them had already met each other. From the time General Navarre took office until now, Alan Wilson thought that he had tried his best to help. This was also true. The British also bombarded Haiphong Port for the withdrawal of the French army, because of a public opinion war. .
General Navarre was very polite and expressed his gratitude to Alan Wilson for his continued help. Indeed, from the war to the present, Britain has never treated France so sincerely in hundreds of years.
"It's a pity that you are leaving. In the future, the colonial resistance and pressure from the Soviet Union and even the Americans will have to be faced by Britain on its own!" Alan Wilson did not hide his thoughts, "The situation has become more difficult. For you and the We are all like this, and I don’t know if we will ever have such an opportunity in the future to talk so easily.”
In the future, France will definitely concentrate on running its North African colonies. Alan Wilson is very complicated about this. If both Britain and France lose all their colonies, even if they are united, they will be ridiculed by the United States and the Soviet Union.
But if France really saves Algeria, all the pressure will be on Britain. If Britain shrinks back to its homeland, it will not be able to face France, not to mention how to face the United States and the Soviet Union in the future. The European Community's right to speak will inevitably change from being dominated by Britain and France to being dominated by France.
If this kind of future emerges, it will be even more unacceptable to both of us than the Soviet Union liberating Europe. This kind of future is terrible.
"Mr. Wilson, the pressure on you is not great. After all, British Malaya is an island, West Malaysia is a peninsula, and East Malaysia is an island. The strength of the Royal Navy can provide good protection." General Naval said with a smile. , "Unlike a French colony, it had to be decided through a ground war, and we couldn't prevent North Vietnam from receiving future aid."
"That's the problem, but if it were French Africa, this problem would not exist. France in the Mediterranean and the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet still have enough strength." Alan Wilson's heart moved and he said without leaving a trace, "I am a From the perspective of an outsider, Paris should either use all its strength when dealing with French Africa, or have a good talk. The defeat of Indochina may cause some problems. Of course, this is a matter for France, so feel free to follow my advice. Just listen.”
"I believe your suggestion is very valuable." General Navarre nodded. He was also preparing to make a summary of the failure in Indochina after returning to China.
Alan Wilson stood up to say goodbye, still not forgetting the invitation. If Navarre was not in a hurry, he could stop by Malaya as a guest when he returned home. Early the next morning, the steamer from Saigon Pier to Malaya blew its whistle, and Alan Wilson was already on the return passenger ship. The sea was blue, the sky was blue, and the sound of the waves was still there.
Naturally, Xia Meng and Yaqian Caoxun can no longer stay with Vivien Leigh. After all, the cabin is not as convenient as the villa. Of course, this arrangement also gave the Imperial Commissioner greater convenience.
"Where is Yaqian Caoxun? Why doesn't she come out to eat?" Vivien Leigh asked Xia Meng, a little uncomfortable with the absence of one person.
"She's seasick!" Xia Meng didn't dare to tell the truth. Your man entered our cabin and behaved like a beast.
Alan Wilson has gained experience in Japanese cars, which are very economical and very refined. They are different from the grandeur of European cars and have a different kind of beauty.
Then before the passenger ship arrived in Malaya, Alan Wilson completed a job that made Jin Yong furious and made Xia Meng seasick.
"I know both the Governor of Hong Kong and the Prime Minister of Japan. With this relationship, I will not treat you badly in the future." Alan Wilson looked at the looming Malayan coastline and promised the two women in a low voice.
"Are we almost there?" Vivien Leigh cautiously came out of the cabin and directly stepped onto Alan Wilson's arm.
"Well, we're almost there." Alan Wilson said gently to the British treasure, "Hold tight, it won't be convenient soon."
"I know." Vivien Leigh, who was already in the shape of a commissioner, knew that she would have to pay attention to the impact when she returned to Malaya. "Don't worry, it won't delay the work of the Imperial Commissioner."
