Chapter 895 West Malaysia Railway
This government has done everything within its power to mobilize troops to form the British Forces in Australia to protect Britain's participation in the space race. Alan Wilson is grateful.
After all, times have changed. Back then, when the sun never set, the empire stretched across the world and did not need so many standing armies. But the current standing army of 800,000, which has been maintained since the war until now, seems to be insufficient.
The reason is also very simple. The opponents are different in different eras. Two thousand years ago, when the Han Dynasty was the Wuhu, it was established in an environment where the Huns had almost no metallurgical technology. As time goes by, you are an iron tool and I am also an iron tool. Naturally, you cannot replicate the glorious years. This has nothing to do with the fact that the Han people two thousand years ago were bloody and the current Han people are not bloody and have no bullshit.
Now that the United States and the Soviet Union have larger populations and are at the same level of technology, how can the United Kingdom resist? Naturally, there were more colonies than there are now, but there is no such thing as the current shortage of troops.
At the end of the year, the news was not good. Nigeria was successfully upgraded to an autonomous territory.
Britain was given five years to prepare before becoming independent. Ingram is talking with local elites about how to hand over the local nationalized enterprises established by the British and how to distribute profits.
There are of course various options. These companies can be privatized and then listed in London. Of course, they are also bound to the condition of settlement in pounds. After the independence process of British India and British Sudan, the British method of dealing with such colonies, Already familiar with it.
John, an old colleague who replaced Lord Barron in the Persian Gulf, also received bad news. Jordan dismissed Grubb, the British commander of the Arab Legion, which marked the wavering of Britain's unique influence in Jordan.
"I have contacted the Jordanian royal family and will go there soon to negotiate."
Alan Wilson took the telegram from his old friend and fell into deep thinking. Grab Pasha represented Britain's influence on Jordan. Jordan's previous role in World War II was equivalent to Ali Pasha's current legal status. Luke I.
Considered by Britain to be the main base for maintaining influence in the Arab world, this influence was maintained through Grubb Pasha, a British man who served as the Jordanian Army Chief of Staff and Commander of the Arab Legion.
As early as 1935, Britain established the military dictatorship of Grab Pasha, commander-in-chief of the Arab Legion. Military authorities have the power to arrest those whose activities are considered to threaten the security of Transjordan, confiscate their property and detain and deport "suspected" persons.
From the date of implementation of the Defense Law, foreign treaties and all other laws cease to take effect. The extraordinary, virtually unlimited, plenary power held by Grab Pasha in Transjordan was exploited by the British imperialists to meet British military needs.
Grab Pasha's Arab Legion is only related to the Arabs in name. It is actually under the command of the British Middle East Joint Operations Command in the Middle East and is part of the British military force in the Middle East.
"Try not to let the Jordanian royal family fire Grab Pasha. We can talk about the conditions. Talk to the Jordanian royal family based on the fact that Nigeria has become an autonomous territory. If it is money, it is actually simple. The main thing is to express sincerity."
Alan Wilson quickly called back his old friend and said that there was nothing that Britain and Jordan could not discuss and that the dispute should not end badly. Alan Wilson actually did not think Jordan was of much value.
The value of Jordan is essentially based on the perspective of the previous era. For example, the United Kingdom has always regarded British India as the most valuable colony, but in reality? In this era, Australia is worth much more than India.
In the eyes of Alan Wilson, Jordan is not as valuable as Qatar in the Persian Gulf, despite the fact that the former's area and population are dozens of times that of the latter. But even so, because Britain previously occupied a large proportion of Jordan's layout in the Arab world, he still did not want to break up.
If nothing can be done, then don't openly quarrel. It should not be too much to ask for a few years for the UK to evacuate.
Soon, Alan Wilson referred the matter regarding the Jordanian Arab Legion to the British Foreign Office,
He also expressed his views and said that the Persian Gulf Commissioner had already left for Jordan and that he would follow up on the matter.
"What's wrong? My dear?" Pamela Mountbatten walked into the bedroom and saw her husband sighing. She thought she had recently driven him back to Kuala Lumpur and made him angry.
Pamela Mountbatten just felt that it was better to stay away from Turing. After all, that kind of person was different from ordinary people.
"The British layout in Jordan is in danger of being shaken." Seeing his wife coming in, Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I wonder if I am too weak to face such a scene after working hard. Some?"
It's not like he doesn't work hard. He travels around the major colonies every year, just because he's afraid that something bad will happen and he won't be caught off guard.
But it still cannot change the trend of Britain gradually falling behind. When Britain announced its intention to join the space competition with great fanfare, he thought that the downward trend had already begun to decline, but now it is still too early to be happy.
"It's not your fault." Pamela Mountbatten saw that her husband was quite disappointed. She quickly came up and held her husband's head and comforted her softly. "Even if no one else can see your efforts, how could I not know it as your wife?" , by the way, I have reached an agreement with the Governor of Western Australia and the Mayor of Perth to accept water and electricity operation, please be happy for me."
"Finally good news, my dear." Alan Wilson raised his head with difficulty, his chin still in the ravine.
"The good news doesn't stop there. I'm not here this month. I'm going to the hospital for a checkup. If there's any good news, I'll tell you right away." Pamela Mountbatten blinked at her man, with a smile on her face. The smile is full of happiness.
"That's really worth looking forward to." Alan Wilson beamed with joy, the heat from his mouth rushing through the woman's chest.
A little depressed, Alan Wilson still sent electricity to Kuala Lumpur to ask the Administrative Office to pay attention to whether newspapers in other countries had noticed what happened in Jordan.
There will definitely be one, especially among the hostile camps. Soon, Alan Wilson became aware of a report by the official media of a major country with the title British troops getting out of Jordan.
Alan Wilson returned to his administrative office in Kuala Lumpur and said with a wry smile, "What does it have to do with them? So what if the UK doesn't leave? Send their army from the Korean War to Jordan and let me have a look?"
"There are also reports from Soviet Pravda." Richard gave the Soviet Union's reaction to his immediate superior who had just returned to the base camp.
"This deserves attention." Alan Wilson's face immediately became solemn. Jordan's position was within the scope of Soviet intervention. It was also a statement, which deserved more attention.
It can be seen from this that the High Commissioner of the Colonial Malaya bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. Other countries expressed their opinions for fun, and the Soviet Union's opinions deserved attention.
"These are the honor killing cases that have occurred this year." Alyssa held up a pile of files and said, "There are a total of eighty-three similar cases between Chinese and Malays."
"Got it." Taking out the high commissioner's seal, Alan Wilson pulled the dossier with his left hand without even looking at it. The sound of bang bang's seal came from the desk. After a while, all the dossiers were confirmed and completed, and he said lightly, " Archive..."
"There is a murder case in the Malayan colony because of this kind of thing. Do you want to intervene?" Alyssa asked.
"The British Empire has always adapted its measures to the colonies to local conditions and respected local customs. The Qing Law and the Peace Law have written laws on this kind of adultery involving men and women. The British Empire should not interfere in this." Commissioner Alan Wilson closed up Seal said nonchalantly, "Whether it is stoning or any other punishment, the colonial government's attitude is not to interfere. The Chinese case is less than thirty, and they are sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with the regulations, adding dozens more laborers who can use them for a lifetime." , how nice.”
"These are all murder cases." Alyssa was a little silent, "As long as we take it seriously, it can be stopped."
"The cost is too high and it's not worth it. We mainly focus on ensuring the rights of the labor force. Women are less valuable than men." Alan Wilson looked indifferent. "There are so many places in the world where men and women are not equal. We all need to help? We also need help. Others should be grateful. If interference causes a huge decline in social morality and social unrest in Malaya, who will bear the responsibility?"
He has already taken the maximum punishment for this kind of murder case, so naturally that's the end of it. Treating headaches and feet is certainly not a solution to the problem, but who can solve this kind of problem? How to deal with it?
European and American model? African model, Japanese and Korean model or Taliban model?
"Alyssa, maybe a few decades from now, this will be the basis for another economic boom in Malaya." Ellen Wilson comforted the sympathetic female subordinates, "The world is constantly changing, who can say for sure. "
When the day came when the country was opened to the outside world, those talented people who had spent decades training suddenly found Malaya, a colony with a much higher standard of living but which retained the traditional social relationship between men and women. Look at the rapid moral decline around you, maybe you will squeeze in with a sharp head.
"Commissioner, this is the planned West-Malaysia railway plan." Richard took out a prepared railway construction plan and showed it to the Chief Executive of Malaya.
"Yes, it's almost time to start connecting the major cities in West Malaysia. It will greatly improve the mobility of the Malay Peninsula and have great benefits for economic development." Alan Wilson was obviously much more serious, and other things were not This is something entirely different that deserves too much attention.
Urbanization in West Malaysia has been underway for more than half a year. If we take this opportunity to complete the railway construction in one go, we will not have to worry about this aspect for at least twenty years after this round of construction is completed.
