Chapter 919 For National Unity
After not seeing each other for several months, the two of them had endless things to talk about, including their recent work and schedule.
Pamela Mountbatten talked about the fact that the parent company had taken over Western Australia's hydropower and recently signed a uranium supply contract with the United States. "The Hudson's Bay Company in Canada was experiencing operating difficulties. The chief executive there suggested to me that at the critical moment Always lend a hand, acquire part of the company's shares, and relieve the Hudson's Bay Company from its operating crisis."
"That's really a famous company." Alan Wilson whistled. This was a company as famous as the East India Company, but the Hudson's Bay Company still exists. "This department store doesn't seem to have any outstanding products."
"The company's reputation and long-term logistics should be regarded as an invisible value." Pamela Mountbatten nestled in her husband's arms. "What you taught me is that we can't just consider problems from a business perspective. At this level, we must first Think politics.”
"That's right." Ellen Wilson was full of a sense of accomplishment. He had cultivated this strong woman with his own hands. He couldn't help but caress his wife's swollen belly, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart became stronger.
"What have you been doing these past few months? Let me listen." Pamela Mountbatten squinted her eyes and enjoyed her husband's warm palms.
"Oh, let me tell you about it." Alan Wilson mentioned the maritime delimitation in the Gulf of Guinea, the cod ban on Iceland, and explained the intrinsic connections between them, and the order for Tiger helicopter gunships. When he passed through Malaya on his return, By the way, I asked about the progress of the container revolution. Although his tone was plain, if you listen carefully, you can feel the high spirits inside.
At the end, referring to the current trends in the Cabinet and Whitehall, Alan Wilson whispered, "I will try my best to leave a stable environment for the next High Commissioner. Maybe by the time the West-Malaysia Railway is opened, I will no longer be in office. If the urban construction progresses smoothly, we may still see phased results.”
"A stable environment?" Pamela Mountbatten immediately extracted the key words upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Which part?"
"There are areas that have been strengthened and areas that have been weakened cannot be generalized. In fact, it is nothing more than ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, and regional conflicts that can be exploited. There are also aspects that cannot be strengthened. The opening chapters of Chinese and Malay language textbooks will be revised. , some things must start from the baby."
Alan Wilson has ordered the revision of the first lesson of the Chinese language textbook, the beautiful royal domain of Malaya.
In the first lesson of such an important course as Chinese language, it explains the strong anti-foreign ideas. What is the Pearl of the Commonwealth and the Spear of Asia? It is clear that Malaya is still a colonial territory, and the British mainland faces Europe from the east and west. Asia Continent carries out offshore balancing, covering the primary and secondary relationships of the entire Commonwealth market.
This is of course an exaggeration of the current Malayan colony, but it is actually a fact. There is no doubt that Britain hopes that the Malayan colony will play a role in consolidating the pound area.
It’s just not as he said in the Chinese textbook,
It seems that Malaya's status is the second brother in the Commonwealth.
Deception is certainly deception, but it is only partial deception. It is also accompanied by illustrations, using arrows of economic and trade relations between the existing members of the Commonwealth and the British colonies, to deepen the understanding that the Malayan colonies are proud of themselves.
Pamela Mountbatten nodded frequently, and then spoke slowly, "That's very good, but dear, you know that the part I want to hear is about ethnic conflicts, regional conflicts and religious conflicts."
She knew her husband very well, and the content she actively shared was always high-end, while the silent part was the real promotion.
"There is not a specific concept yet, just some concrete steps. A new area will be planned near the Far East Joint Operations Command in Singapore to place smuggled women there. It will isolate the garrison from contact with local residents. You know, nearby There are stowaways in South Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and even as far away as South Korea. The men will be repatriated and the women will be concentrated here."
"Carry out other economic planning!" Alan Wilson explained the other economy in a serious way, "vigorously activate the other economic engine and create a 'her economic' ecosystem, which will provide more opportunities and platforms for women's employment and entrepreneurship."
"What is that?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not simple, involving women and the garrison?
"Don't ask, dear." Alan Wilson couldn't say that so many British troops stationed in Malaysia couldn't become monks. He could only use these foreign women who smuggled into the Malayan colonies to create a big brothel in Southeast Asia?
Although this is also a fact, as a high commissioner, he cannot speak too clearly in the name of the Chief Executive.
Malaya is a colony, and the issue of garrisoning troops is inherently sensitive. When he was the chief executive, he wanted to piss on Singapore. If he resigned, the new chief executive might not dare to impose restrictions on the British troops stationed in Malaya.
Alan Wilson was promoting the economic construction of Malaya, and at the same time he was also turning the tables on the social atmosphere. In such a conservative colonial social environment, from time to time news of rape of women would come from the garrison, which would bring hidden dangers to British colonial rule.
He didn't care what women were like. No turmoil was dominated by women. What he was afraid of was that the men in the colonies would cause trouble and feel that their wives and sisters were being humiliated, which would lead to anti-British thoughts.
Therefore, we need a group of people who cannot empathize to act as a buffer. Anyway, our two major ethnic groups in Malaya are pure and innocent. They are shameless women who smuggled in from outside and rushed to split the thighs of the garrison.
There are actually Indians, but Alan Wilson feels that the Indian community will die out soon. In fact, it is very simple. The main atmosphere in China is that men provide betrothal gifts. In India, on the contrary, the main atmosphere is that women prepare dowry.
The collision of this kind of customs will cause the Chinese to devour the Indian community. When this generation of colonial children grow up, they may usher in a period of ethnic conflict based on this.
"There is no need to go into details about religious conflicts. I am asking the Executive Bureau to collect Chinese history and prepare to print a separate Malay version. And the changes in public opinion in the coming period will stir up an atmosphere of distrust between East and West Malaysia. Confront the hegemony of public opinion against Residents of East Malaysia."
He acted bravely for Mr. Zhao from Fuzhou and deliberately injured someone named Zhao from Northeast China. As a high commissioner, Alan Wilson also has to learn and apply it, but he will definitely leave a trail behind and spread this kind of double standard in East Malaysia, so that the residents of East Malaysia will have this understanding, and then they will start to do this.
"Printing Chinese history, what does it have to do with the colonies you manage?" The regional contradiction is literal. Pamela Mountbatten could easily understand it, but she could not understand the role of the Malay version of Chinese history.
"Since it is the printed Malay version of Chinese history, it is naturally a side that is less visible. Including but not limited to, the shocking death rate during China's dynasty changes, the brutal suppression of the rebels, especially the peaceful believers, China has The habit of recording history has saved me a lot of trouble."
"I remember that the big compradors who have a good relationship with you all claimed that Chinese people have loved peace since ancient times." Pamela Mountbatten was full of surprise. This was the first time her husband mentioned these things.
"Hehe." Alan Wilson chuckled and said seriously, "Of course, that's what you call yourself, haha... The Indians also say that if India leads the world, there will definitely not be the evils of the colonial era. Even if we claim to be, we can't control it. I’m not slandering, I’m just conveying their own recorded history to spread.”
Why did Zhungeer change the place name? What about driving out seedlings to expand industry? Zuo Zongtang was still too soft on the Peace Sect. Alan Wilson brought out Dolonga and added it. What does the word fangao mean? Are the natives on Swindle Island good to eat?
In the Ming Dynasty, ethnic minorities were an important source of eunuchs. The standard for how to systematically eliminate foreign races was: "One person can capture three pills and be promoted to one level. If he kills nine pills, he can be promoted to three levels. Test the strong men and fight with them." Practical teaching. Young men, women, and those with more than ten grains, but not enough, will be rewarded."
The "Ming Huidian" clearly lists the prices. Different emperors and different ethnic groups have different prices, including men, women, old and young. In the "Manuscript of Qing History", the Qing Dynasty generally inherited the policies of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any difference, The Qing Dynasty was more efficient.
After all, the Malayan colony was a model of multiculturalism. Alan Wilson just wanted the Malays to get to know their neighbors. It was completely well-intentioned and completely selfless.
It just so happens that the natives of Swindle Island are also related to the Malays. The Malays can learn about the history of the aboriginal paste made by the natives. I heard that it was very popular at the time. This is also to use history as a mirror. Peace believers also value religion, so they will definitely have empathy.
Originally, if the second term could be completed, Alan Wilson would still have time to adjust, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
But he also didn't want to miss the opportunity of the vacancy of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If Sir Ismay resigned, he would have to return to London to fight for it, so some tasks had to be implemented in advance.
For example, Chinese armored divisions, Malay marine divisions, various policies, and opening up middle and low-level civil servants to recruit colonial residents to join the colonial government, etc. At least he will do it with more certainty than the next high commissioner.
The areas that should be bridged should be bridged, and the areas that should be provoked should be provoked. Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong. The most important thing in life is to have the courage to try.
It's like he, a colonial high commissioner, doesn't delay in doing his part for the great space cause.
Not only will his wife understand him, but even Princess Margaret will understand him. Her Royal Highness is no longer a willful love-head, but is now mature. Knowing that Pamela Mountbatten is physically inconvenient, she takes the initiative to help her brother-in-law resolve his worries.
The long-term feeling of emptiness finally disappeared at this time. Only this kind of day full of fulfillment is what the princess wants.
