Chapter 933 “British Burma”

McCarthy has always been known as a fanatical anti-Soviet politician and a tough conservative, and he has many dark spots in politics.

The media image has always been mixed. Especially since Chaplin's unexplained death in Europe last year coincided with the release of King of New York, a political satire film based on McCarthy, McCarthy was widely suspected.

But at this moment, American citizens discovered that McCarthy's passionate and hostile voice sounded so beautiful.

Even many individuals and media who were hostile to him admitted that McCarthy, who usually confuses right and wrong, helped the United States, which had been overtaken by the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, find some confidence.

Invariably, all media outlets united at this time and covered McCarthy's speech to Congress at large. As for how to make Americans believe that the United States is not lagging behind any other country.

"More than that, we are obviously in the lead." Alan Wilson, holding a newspaper in the distant Malayan colony of Penang, was happy for his American friends. As for the emergence of such a spoiler, what will happen to the American political arena in the future? Change, take one step at a time.

It's a pity that McCarthy's personal image is really lagging behind, and Kennedy is one of the most beautiful men among the US presidential candidates in the past. In an election in the United States where exposure is extremely needed, the disadvantage is too great.

Handsome guys are really useful. If you don’t believe it, just look at the current leader of the Conservative Party, Eden. The sixty-year-old Eden is certainly not the killer of female voters like he was in his prime.

But even handsome guys need to be compared in a certain sense. Look at Attlee, who is in his seventies and has a forehead as bright as a lightbulb.

Logically speaking, Britain has defended the free world, which should increase the support rate of the Labor Party. However, the support rate of the Conservative Party is still incomparable. Alan Wilson feels that some British people are really dissatisfied with the Labor cabinet that has been in power for more than ten years. Feeling slack.

This is how elections are in a country. Merit often outstrips nitpicking. As time goes by, voters become less enthusiastic than before.

The Myanmar delegation's trip is far from over. During this period, he can't always play with the national treasure and the Queen. Penang Commissioner Alfred received the care of his immediate boss. After finishing his official business at the golf course, the two People also had some exchanges around work in Penang.

"One of the two major events this year is the investment in Myanmar. Once the construction of Singapore's oil refining center is completed, there will be a labor shortage." Alan Wilson said while swinging.

"I almost made a hole-in-one. The commissioner's skills are shocking." Alfred didn't know whether he heard his immediate boss's words or he was too immersed in golf.

Alan Wilson twitched the corner of his mouth and said to himself that my skills in another aspect are really shocking. I scored a hole in one every time, and was directly led astray by my subordinates. He suddenly said, "Why are condoms circulating in the market? Check it carefully." After checking, we found that the colonies have long banned this to ensure sufficient labor force. From what channels did this come in?"

Alfred was stunned. He didn't know that his immediate boss received inhumane treatment from Queen Nanfang.

When a dignified imperial commissioner showed off his talents as a prime minister, he actually saw something from Queen Nanfang that had long been banned in the colony.

Queen Nanfang's little trick of buying condoms to protect herself was naturally useless. Alan Wilson could not accept this kind of restraint that was contrary to the free world. His second brother had never suffered such grievances, even from the royal princess.

"I will check it out carefully." Alfred quickly promised, and now he also knew that when his immediate boss was discussing the issue, he was only trying to flatter him, and then he was beaten by a small matter, and he quickly replied, "Myanmar When investing in this area, Penang, as a city directly facing the Bay of Bengal, must take advantage of its geographical advantages and establish the Bay of Bengal Regional Economic Belt."

"Oh." Alan Wilson finally calmed down and nodded while holding a golf club, "The development of Peninsular Malaysia is based on wolf pack tactics.

Kuala Lumpur as the capital is not part of the discussion, Malacca and Penang must be well positioned. Singapore is special. From its geographical location and objective conditions, Singapore is the best place to deal with the Asia-Pacific. It is the easiest city to take off from. We need a trustworthy commissioner to be in charge. Likewise, Penang cannot relax. "

"Development is development, and we must also adopt a certain balance, so that it is easy to divide and conquer."

"But as the commissioner said, the conditions in the four major cities are different. In fact, Penang is better. The positioning of Malacca and Singapore is more conflicting. How can we contain Singapore." Alfred is also in a dilemma. Divide and rule is easier said than done. It’s not that easy to do.

"Bundle the four major cities to create public opinion." Alan Wilson heard that this was his strength. He did not dare to say that he was very professional in the map cannon, but he knew a thing or two. "There are many ways, such as setting up a colonial capital. During the discussion, it was said that Penang was only one vote away from becoming the capital, Malacca City was said to be Malacca, and Singapore was said to be Singapore.”

"Singaporeans are stingy, worldly, and admiring foreign things... forget it. In terms of traditional culture, Penang is better, and so on. In fact, this kind of mutual attack can be operated from any angle and at any level."

Alan Wilson introduced the relevant process to Evered in detail. Regarding the choice of the capital of the Republic, isn't it that all the cities were one vote short of the imperial capital?

It doesn’t matter whether the citizens of Kuala Lumpur believe it or not, or whether the citizens of Singapore believe it. When you criticize Singapore, the citizens of the other three cities believe that the same is true when you criticize Kuala Lumpur, and that's fine.

As for self-promotion, this requires a lot of effort. It cannot be like pretending that Xi'an is one of the four ancient capitals in the world.

Penang does not have this history, but it can use a method similar to the bundling of the four ancient capitals to force Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to be on the same level as the two weaker cities. This is how Kaifeng was squeezed out by Nanjing without anyone noticing.

"In terms of promoting the correct pronunciation in the colonies, it is actually not friendly to the vast majority of Chinese immigrants, and the manipulation here is even greater. It can evolve into many stories, it depends on how you make it up."

Alan Wilson remembers that all kinds of dialects, including but not limited to Cantonese, Wu dialect, and Jin dialect, all have versions that are two votes worse than Mandarin. The Chinese in the Malayan colony must not have thought of it. The root cause is that he, an Englishman, only speaks Mandarin. He single-handedly solved the accent problem that most Chinese people cannot speak.

Alfred, who was instilled with new knowledge by his immediate superior, sighed in his heart, is this a top student in Oriental Studies? He had never thought about it, but Alan Wilson just picked it up as if he had done it before.

Alan Wilson has only met him, but it is better to maintain an inscrutable image in front of his subordinates. "A method always fails to work, so British India is British India, and Malaya is Malaya." , at this point we should use some new methods, so that we can achieve long-term and even beyond.”

No matter how many times we have to start over again, Singapore’s development is easier than other cities in West Malaysia. Just like the location of the Magic City is the most suitable as an economic center in the country.

No matter how many times we choose, the capital of the colony cannot be placed in a coastal port. Just like the imperial capital connects two plains, there are many considerations for the administrative center.

"Understood?" Alan Wilson waved his golf club and asked his subordinates who had learned new knowledge with probing eyes.

"Understood!" Alfred answered very simply, "I also have an idea about the positioning of the four cities."

"Very good, let's deal with the matter of smuggling condoms first. This is also a big deal." Alan Wilson returned to his cold expression, this time it was serious business in his heart.

Penang has to deal with the Bay of Bengal Economic Belt, which includes Burma and East Pakistan. Malacca Port mainly serves the West Malaysia Peninsula for import and export, while Singapore also serves Asia-Pacific countries. Kuala Lumpur is the capital, so the positioning is different.

While Alan Wilson was taking care of both public and private matters from Penang, the Burmese delegation led by U Nu began to inspect major cities and industries in West Malaysia. What they heard and saw along the way was shocking.

If a certain city stands out in particular, this will not shock U Nu. It can be understood as a national-level face-saving project, but Penang is a scene of development while building, to Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, and finally Singapore. Every city has this scene, which is amazing.

In the prosperous era of Burma before World War II, only the important port of Singapore in Malaya could be compared with Burma. On the whole, Burma was the best of all the British colonies at that time.

U Nu told General Aung San in Yangon what he saw and heard along the way. He was shocked in every word. If U Nu stopped going into politics, I believe there would be a place for him in the BBC.

When he returned to Penang again, U Nu, who had already contacted Aung San, had already made a decision in his heart.

Myanmar, with a population of 18 million and more than 600,000 square kilometers, has once again stepped onto the dining table. But this time, unlike last time, Myanmar actively chose to do so.

Alan Wilson once again found the feeling of being possessed by Lloyd George. He had firmly conquered Wu Nu, but he still reservedly expressed that labor rights and the eight-hour work system firmly occupied the moral high ground. In fact, this What does it matter to him?

If the Burmese people are willing, they are free to work twenty-five hours a day, as long as they can do it.

Although he knew that these contents were bullshit, Alan Wilson still added similar contents to the negotiation agenda, making it easy to shirk responsibility if something went wrong.

The next time is when he strives for the best interests of British capital and the comprador in Malaya. Bringing the whole of Burma once again under British influence. Finally the entire negotiation came to an end!

"I hope Myanmar can usher in a new wave of prosperity." After successfully leading British capital back to Myanmar, Alan Wilson was in a good mood and took the initiative to shake hands with U Nu.
