Chapter 834 The Pressure Is All on France
With the Second Five-Year Plan completed, Alan Wilson can leave Malaya with peace of mind and move on to the next stage of his life.
First of all, this still needs the approval of Whitehall. The UK's tolerance for highly polluting industries has been greatly reduced after the London smog incident. During this period, the chemical industry is not a low-end industry. If it wants to move, it must Consider how reliable Malaya is.
It was the next day. On his first day back in London, Alan Wilson invited Lord Sheffield for a drink and by the way congratulated London City Hall on its great victory in case law.
"Thank you, but this time's turmoil is really scary. But the judicial system still withstood the pressure of public opinion and made a just verdict." Markins held a wine glass and kept lamenting to Alan Wilson who was on a business trip.
My dear Lord, I don’t know anything about this. Although Alan Wilson is on a business trip, he is not aware of the development of the domestic subway incident.
If Pamela Mountbatten, who happened to be discussing business in China, was not here, would the women's movement have the courage?
The reason why he encouraged his wife to support the women's movement was met with a bloody blow because Ellen Wilson had personally experienced the subway incident. She knew that the women's movement would have a high probability of losing if this incident happened, and it might lead to an imperialist blow from the civil service system.
If he was sure to win the lawsuit, he would ask his wife to put out the fire and settle the matter. How could the women's movement cause trouble?
In short, the results are good. Now local civil servants think that the women's movement is unreasonable and have developed aversion. Even among some conservative groups, it left a bad impression.
Generally speaking, this subway incident is beneficial. It provides a positive precedent that can provide methods for handling similar incidents in the future. This is also a benefit for countries that implement case law.
"Although the process is tortuous, the result is good." Alan Wilson followed Makins' words and made a pun. He not only congratulated Makins for safeguarding the rule of law, but he was also happy that the women's movement had hit a wall.
It was just a troublemaking woman who was sacrificed, and she was not sacrificed. Pamela Mountbatten has directed donations to help the sentenced woman pay the fine. She did not suffer any monetary loss, but the society was definitely dead.
After discussing for a while, Alan Wilson sighed, "How important a positive precedent is."
He even wanted to plan a case of support or no support, but there is a high probability that this will not happen in the UK. The basis for the Peng Yu case does not exist at all in the UK, but it basically does not exist.
This classic case in Alan Wilson's mind is not without its benefits. Everything is two sides of the same coin.
In fact, it is just clarifying the unspoken rules and letting the whole society know the long-term family teachings.
Before the Peng Yu case, when many families were educating their children, they also taught them not to meddle in other people's business. Being blackmailed for helping others has long existed.
The biggest role of Peng Yu's case is to expose the situation, teach people to only dare to do so in private, and provide an excuse not to do so.
"How was the harvest this time?" After Makins finished talking about his own affairs, he asked Alan Wilson about his trip to Africa.
"Prepare to report to Whitehall tomorrow. The report has already been made." Alan Wilson had a drink with his friend and said calmly, "The wave of colonial independence will be suspended. On the one hand, we will see whether France can win the military operation. On the one hand, it also wants to contribute to the failure of the newly independent Sudan, which is a testing ground and is perfect for use as a shock."
After friends got together and exchanged greetings, Alan Wilson went home. He couldn't let his wife stay in the vacant room. There were bright lights in the house. His virtuous wife, five minutes after returning home,
He came out again and sent his beautiful sister-in-law out.
"Dear Princess, please rest early." Alan Wilson maintained his usual gentle attitude, and his subtle expression told Princess Margaret that I know the purpose of your coming, and I am grateful.
"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Wilson." Princess Margaret responded bitterly. The royal family's driver was already waiting outside the door, fulfilling their due obligations.
"I watched you get in the car!" Alan Wilson was not targeting anyone in terms of surface engineering. He followed Princess Margaret into the car, then watched the car leave his sight, and stood there for a while before walking home again. .
The disappointed look of a man standing on the side of the road watching his sweetheart go away also fell into the eyes of the princess who kept looking back.
Now it is more serious to not see each other for a day as if it had been three autumns. Because of work, Pamela Mountbatten can understand it, but whenever they meet, they must be passionate, otherwise it will be harmful to the relationship between husband and wife.
The effect is still very obvious. Pamela Mountbatten hugged her husband happily, "I can't bear the impact you have. It's so good..."
After eating a simple breakfast of milk and eggs in the morning, Alan Wilson began to prepare reporting documents and calculated the time to go to Whitehall to report. He had already booked a time to meet with Norman Brooke in advance.
"It's not easy to convince the Cabinet Secretary. You have no problem. The key is that the officials in Malaya must also be trustworthy. You have already started your second term. It doesn't matter if something happens to you after you leave Malaya." Pamela Mountbatten was dressing up, and she wanted to drive her husband to Whitehall herself. "What do you think of your subordinates?"
"Fortunately, at least it's better than domestic officials." Alan Wilson was stunned and replied.
Fortunately, he really has no faults in execution and can implement his ideas. For the current Malayan colony, this is enough.
If Alan Wilson had one hundred Universe District Chief Sun Liancheng in his hands, he would have absolute confidence to run the Malayan colony into an iron barrel, and no one from the Soviet Union, China, and Indonesia could get involved.
It's a pity that he didn't. In his eyes, if there was anything wrong with Sun Liancheng, the immediate boss of the District Director of the Universe was quite inhumane. He always got into trouble when he was in trouble, and pushed his colleagues and subordinates out to get him.
The fundamental reason why Sun Liancheng later harbored thoughts about the universe was because his immediate boss once again pushed him to take advantage of him, and he found out.
Alan Wilson felt that at least so far, he had never sacrificed his subordinates to resist the anger, but only let a subordinate who did not pay him to be on the bench. He was even prepared to fight for his friend's position in Aden this time.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost stopped at No. 70 Whitehall. Pamela Mountbatten waved to her husband, "I'll wait for you at home." Then she left with envious eyes.
A few minutes later, Alan Wilson was already in the Cabinet Secretary's Office. Norman Brooke held a newspaper in one hand, picked up the phone and said, "If there are guests, let them wait for now."
"Alan, thank you for your hard work and helping John deal with Sudan." Norman Brook put down the phone and said with a smile on his face, "All your colleagues in Whitehall appreciate your work very much, and I also know that you Your second term has already begun. In fact, some voices earlier did not want you to continue to start your second term in Malaya. After all, it is not a special period of war. A foreign commissioner who stays too long may cause some troubles, and It does not help establish an image of integrity.”
"But because of the importance of the Malayan colony to the United Kingdom, a commissioner is needed to make it reliable. I also agreed to your second term with hesitation. Looking at it now, Malaya has filled the gap of the original British India. It is gratifying to consider both the contribution of the colony and the development of the colony at the same time.”
"Thanks to Whitehall and the cabinet for their trust. Although I am in Asia, I dare not forget the imperial responsibilities. I deeply understand the expectations of the Sir and the Prime Minister for me and the Malayan colony. Now I have achieved some results. I can shoulder the goals. The responsibilities of British India are also due to the previous commissioners, and many basic things were done by Gerald.”
On the one hand, Alan Wilson expressed his loyalty, but on the other hand, he also expressed humility, "I personally believe that modern management based on Malaya and injecting funds are far from the local upper limit. After all, the original British India We did not control much land, and the population of British India was not actually mobilized."
Although British India claims to have 10 million industrial workers, in fact they are not called industrial workers at all, but rather handicraftsmen.
Taking steel production as an example, India reached 1.7 million tons last year, while the steel production of the Malayan colony supported by Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, was the same as that of the British mainland, reaching 18 million tons.
In this indicator, the Malayan colony has reached ten times that of India. This is caused by a variety of factors. It is supported by high-quality iron ore from Australia, based on steel equipment transferred from the United Kingdom, and has markets provided by the Commonwealth and the European Community. wait.
"Your results in the first term are very surprising. My colleagues and I all see it." Norman Brook pondered for a moment and said, "Alan, where do you think the upper limit of Malaya is?"
Of course, per capita it is no worse than Japan! Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said uncertainly, "Portugal should not be a problem."
Norman Brook nodded. This standard was actually not bad. He continued to ask, "If this standard is met, will it be able to calm London's worries and prevent local independence?"
"At least half of the Chinese people are not interested in independence." Alan Wilson said firmly, "Judging from the situation in Africa, local Indians generally do not like colonial independence, because for local blacks, Indians themselves are Outsiders. A similar mentality also exists among the Chinese. I have been strengthening this mentality among the Chinese. The textbooks of the two major ethnic groups are different. All the contents of the Chinese textbooks have nothing to do with Malaya. And the Malay textbooks, in Malay The education about the origin of human beings is that 10,000 years ago, the Malayans came south from ancient China and wiped out the local indigenous people.”
"This arrangement is very interesting." Norman Brook smiled and emphasized, "This is also a fact, right?"
Alan Wilson nodded. Under the shining of supreme authority, this was of course a fact. The two chatted about the process of Sudan's independence, and Alan Wilson made a conclusion in the form of a report, "At this stage, if there is no result in Algeria, the United Kingdom will It would be better to terminate the independence of African colonies and wait and see for a while.”
