Chapter 899: Another Hard Time in the Colony

The British army cannot deal with guerrilla warfare. In fact, no army can deal with guerrilla warfare in a foreign country, unless the explosive force strikes with all its strength, or France mobilizes 800,000 troops to blockade them layer by layer.

Then it is necessary to improve the local military level and bring it into the comfort zone of the British army. Therefore, the two divisions prepared must not be stingy. They must be established in accordance with the standards of the British combat force.

A British armored division has as many tanks as a Chinese armored division has. Whatever the British Marine Corps uses, the Malay Marine Division must use.

Heavy weapons are not difficult for the current Britain. The Churchill tank has just been withdrawn from active service by the British army for less than five years. There are a large number of mothballed Churchill tanks in the UK. The Cromwell cruise tank has only been withdrawn from active service for two years. The British army stationed in Malaysia is equipped with The one is the Centurion tank, and it is completely reasonable to form armored units according to their respective duties.

"These are some opinions on recruiting local soldiers formulated by the Administrative Office." Alan Wilson was well prepared and came up with a series of provisions, including welfare benefits, retirement placement and provisions on the crime of destroying military marriages. There were also references to traditional British employment. The treatment of Nepalis, and the management of the French Foreign Legion.

After consideration, Alan Wilson found that the two major ethnic groups in Malayan society currently have conservative ideas, and the scope of the crime of disrupting military marriages can be appropriately expanded, not just to protect active military personnel.

Therefore, the revised standard for breaking military marriages in the Malayan colonies is that if a person has served the British, the crime of breaking military marriages will be applicable for a lifetime, even if this person only served as a soldier for two years.

As for preventing the heavily relied upon Chinese armored divisions and Malay Marine divisions from mutiny, the military preparation is to establish a group of armed helicopters. Alan Wilson copied the imported product from the Apache, which has now been officially named the Tiger armed helicopter. , submitted to the Cabinet through the Ministry of National Defense, and after approval, the order can be placed.

Lieutenant General Sconce was already a little numb. How could he not know now that Mountbatten's son-in-law had been prepared? He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I thought you were only talented in administrative work and could turn the colony into Shanghai."

"Huh? Dear general, I am stronger than Mr. Chang, he cannot compare with me." Alan Wilson not only did not think it was a compliment, but instead thought it was a great insult.

Sconce is a British man, and his knowledge of Magic City is limited to hearing about it. If it were not for the Malayan colonies, the majority of them were Chinese. I guess Sconce would say that he is more familiar with Mumbai when he compares it.

But Alan Wilson knew something about Chang Gong's level. During the Republic of China, the Demon City was so powerful that a special corpse collection team was set up, and the number of unidentified corpses collected throughout the year was never less than 10,000.

It was so powerful that the ratio of prostitutes to citizens was one to one hundred, excluding the men, it became one to sixty. It is so powerful that there are 20,000 opium dens in the urban area, and 20 specialized drug manufacturing factories supply these opium dens.

It was so powerful that for every two men, there was one gang member. According to fashionable saying, if they all were shot, there would be no chance of anyone slipping through the net. If every other man was shot, the bad guys might be let go. It is so powerful that ordinary people can spend two yuan on entertainment and five yuan on movie theater tickets throughout the year.

If Alan Wilson made the colony like this, let alone whether it would affect his future career. Whether he could survive until the end of his term was a question. If Sukarno saw the Malayan colony like this, it would not be infiltration, but It’s time to have an Indonesian version of the Liberation War.

Today, the Malayan colony has a population of more than 13 million, with a food self-sufficiency rate of 15%. This is the result of him bringing improved seeds from all over the world into agriculture and animal husbandry and starting the green revolution. Not counting the grain merchant group that has no profits for the time being in the Kra Isthmus.

Steel production was the result of Britain using its influence to import iron ore from Australia, control of which was in the hands of his wife Pamela Mountbatten.

The Malayan colony produces 400,000 tons of rubber annually and is still the world's number one rubber production base. It supplies other countries and can even be sold to the Soviet Union, including part of the production capacity that always disappears when shipped to Xiangjiang.

The annual output of palm oil is 5 million tons, and the output of sugar is 8.5 million tons, which are supplied to the British mainland and the European Community market, Commonwealth countries and British colonies.

Recent planning also includes cocoa cultivation, hoping to have a place in the world's coffee market in the future.

Alan Wilson dare not say how much credit he has, but at least he has tried his best since he took office. He can not be proud of these. It is appropriate to support the Royal Pacific Fleet, but compared with Chang Gong?

This was a great insult to him. After leaving Singapore, he decided to cut off the heads of two anti-British elements to cheer him up.

In the subsequent conversation, Lieutenant General Sconce felt that Alan Wilson was quite serious and joked, "It seems that you also know that you are not welcomed by the garrison."

"Who told me to always send soldiers who made mistakes in the garrison to Qingshan Mental Hospital? It's strange that someone who has lived in a pigeon cage has a good impression of me."

Alan Wilson also knew what his image was like in the military. He changed the subject and said, "There has been a trend since two years ago. Many Korean women smuggled into the colonies, especially near Singapore. Of course, I don't want to criticize the garrison again. It's all nonsense, but if the disease spreads, it will be a scandal. You know, the US military stationed in Japan during the MacArthur period caused protests from American women."

The emergence of this trend surprised Alan Wilson. Koreans should go to Japan for smuggling. Malaya is so far away from South Korea. Is it because the British Red Cross adopted war orphans and gained the name of the British Empire?

However, because he had foreseen that the development of the Malayan colony might lead to a wave of illegal immigration, he had always taken precautions in this regard, mainly to guard against men and repatriate them if found. The treatment is similar to that of sending Mikhailovich to Northern Rhodesia, ensuring that not a penny is taken away.

"Your crime of sabotaging a military marriage may dilute the military's dislike of you." Lieutenant General Sconce looked at the revised clause to protect soldiers and said with a wry smile, "Maybe the soldiers in the garrison will try their best to control it. My wife or girlfriend in China deceived me.”

"It is not in my hands to decide whether colonial regulations apply to native citizens." Alan Wilson pointed at it. It depends on what the cabinet thinks. Whitehall can't say.

At No. 10 Downing Street, the Secretary of Defense, Earl Alexander, arrived at No. 10 Downing Street to meet with Prime Minister Attlee.

With professional advice refined by Whitehall, including but not limited to, the start-up progress and cost control of the new aircraft carrier, the order for Tiger helicopter gunships, and the Malayan colony's absorption of local troops to join the British army, etc.

The matter of the new aircraft carrier was a cover-up. Earl Alexander mainly talked about Tiger helicopter gunships, Malayan military expansion, and the economic development of the Malayan colonies. Whitehall told Attlee directly, and there was no need for him to do it for him.

"If the Prime Minister feels that there is a problem with the cost, he can talk to France to see if the cost can be shared. As for the functionality, the Ministry of Defense has already tested it. Whether it is used against armored groups or used against anti-British guerrillas, it will It is excellent and definitely an excellent military product.”

Count Alexander tried his best to convince the Prime Minister of the excellence of the Tiger armed helicopter, which would become a benchmark in the field of armed helicopters once interviewed.

"Strive for orders from France?" Prime Minister Attlee asked after listening, "Do the French have a preference for armed helicopters?"

"France believed on the battlefield in Vietnam that armed helicopters were a powerful weapon against guerrillas, but because there were not many armed helicopters in hand at the time, it could not expand its results. The same problems faced by the French are also faced by the British today. Sconce, commander of the Far East Joint Operations Command, mentioned that he hopes an armed helicopter can ensure the security of the Malayan colonies."

"Is that so?" Prime Minister Attlee became serious upon hearing this. The importance of the Malayan colony is self-evident. When some people said that Malaya would replace British India, he actually didn't believe it, but now it seems that the replacement is more than enough.

Not everything is a good thing. For example, he can sense Washington and secretly hope that Britain will withdraw from Asia. He certainly couldn't agree to say goodbye to the global empire.

Once the urban construction of Malaya is completed, Britain will receive huge benefits, which no amount of money can buy.

Even if Prime Minister Attlee has never been interested in military investment, he must still express support for some projects.

In his twelfth year as Prime Minister, Attlee, a Prime Minister who focused on people's livelihood, moved closer and closer to safeguarding the interests of the British Empire.

If the Malayan colonies had not helped Britain consolidate its market in the Commonwealth and its vast colonies, Britain would have faced tremendous pressure. Even now, Attlee could feel the ubiquitous competition against Britain.

Japan and West Germany have low wages and low currency valuations. With the continuous expansion of investment, their international competitiveness has rapidly improved, and their trade surplus has continued to grow. The United Kingdom and the United States are in relative decline, and their economic growth rates are only about half of those of Germany and Japan.

The UK also has a strong monetary policy, and the value of the pound is higher than the US dollar. Germany, which is recovering, has been hit hard. Fortunately, the impact on Japan has been absorbed by the United States itself.

The reason why the UK was still able to resolve the crisis was that it had quite a few colonies that were in a state of being developed. After being reminded by some professional reports from Whitehall, Attlee regarded the colonies as a depression to resolve the crisis, and then worked hard on the colonies.

As for the origin of this method, the imperial commissioners who were familiar with the scissors game between workers and peasants in countries under the Soviet system were of course very aware that rural areas could not escape the fact that they were cut off time and time again. They just regarded the British African colonies as rural areas.

Indirect rule has the advantages of indirect rule, but direct rule has the advantages of direct rule. Britain rarely builds unimportant colonies, so let these colonies swallow up Britain's crisis.
