Chapter 946 I Take the Lead in Foreign Policy

Although he is a bureaucrat, there should be no such thing as friendship, but as for Alan Wilson, he has always pursued love and justice. To be honest, this is very contradictory.

Although Ali Khan, a prince of a princely state who was born in India, had the qualities of a common man, which covered up all the unpleasant shortcomings of the three brothers, there was still some friendship between them after helping each other for so many years.

As long as Alan Wilson is within his ability, or power, he is willing to provide help. One of Ali Khan's sons killed someone before, and he was the one who arranged it and framed it for Indonesian infiltrators.

Of course, Ali Khan was not someone who completely ignored the law. He also punished his troublemaking son and gave the colonial government an explanation.

For example, half a million pounds was spent on management. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to discussing crime.

Returning to Kuala Lumpur this time for work handover, Alan Wilson also revealed to Ali Khan that he was still the immediate boss of the next commissioner. The Colonial Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were in the same building. He could also pay attention to the developments in the Malayan colony, and more Never mind that he is still the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Asset Management Council.

"This reassures me. For me, it is best not to have any nasty changes in this world." Ali Khan expressed his feelings and expressed the voice of those with vested interests. The stagnation of human civilization is what he hopes for.

"I understand that in fact, as a monarch, you only need to give a little favor to win people's hearts, and it can have a big effect. Of course, other sultans are far from having the financial resources like you."

Once again expressing his recognition of Ali Khan's financial strength, Alan Wilson said, "With the help of the rulers, we have the determination to stick to Malaya. In fact, the rulers should understand who is the same person as whom. One The difference between a monarch and an ordinary citizen is greater than that between a person and a dog, but everyone has a head and limbs, and so does a dog, right?"

When Alan Wilson convened a meeting of rulers to express goodwill to the major monarchs. Richard, the unofficial next High Commissioner, is creating public opinion in favor of the Malays regarding the partition of the Straits Settlements.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Referring to the fact that Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia in its original history and had to establish a city-state. However, this time the division was obviously much wider, and even the capital Kuala Lumpur was included in the Straits Settlements.

After Richard formulated the core idea of ​​​​public opinion building, he attended rulers' meetings non-stop and, as the next high commissioner, communicated emotionally with the rulers of various states.

Alan Wilson and the big compradors assured that nothing would change and that the colonial government would still support Chinese businessmen in accordance with established policies until an economic circle was established within Southeast Asia.

Soon, Richard, who had entered the rhythm of High Commissioner, reiterated this point in front of Su Yang and others, "There will be no changes in the policies of High Commissioner Wilson during his tenure. Of course, the colonial government also needs the support of the Justices of the Peace."

"Definitely!" Su Yang, Gu Ke and others spoke one after another, once again expressing their reliability to the colonial government.

With the guarantees from the rulers and compradors, Malaya could operate stably and Richard could relax a little.

Alan Wilson took his successor to the golf course to ask about the operations of the Straits Settlements, "Do you know why the Straits Settlements were carved out?"

"Separate important and wealthy places to increase the power of the colonial government?" Richard asked with some uncertainty.

"This is just one aspect. The fundamental reason is that to increase the gap between the two major ethnic groups, the Chinese ethnic group still needs to be supported at an invisible level." Alan Wilson took out two cigars and lit one for Richard. Root said, "The Chinese cultural system is actually not strong in terms of cultural barriers. As for the spread of the Peace Sect in the agricultural era, as long as you have a little understanding of history, you will know how terrifying the speed is."

Monotheism is stronger than polytheism;

Polytheism is more powerful than ordinary cultures. In historical debates between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism has lost more than it has won. Does Buddhism have any resistance to the Peace Sect? Not to mention a culture that is looser than Buddhism.

The Chinese in Malaya only have a relative advantage in terms of numbers. Even Lim Lian Yu and Chen Zhenlu are literati from the old era.

He was really afraid that these old literati could not debate the scriptures and the imams, so he finally decided to administratively separate the merged colonies. On the surface, he could declare the inclusiveness of a pluralistic society and make it difficult for people to find faults.

"I'm not worried about internal affairs, but in terms of the external environment, apart from Indonesia, we must keep a close eye on it. We don't want to conflict with the pro-Soviet countries in the north." Alan Wilson solemnly ordered, "That is the job of the Americans. We don't want to have any conflicts with them." Stealing the show.”

"Commissioner, actually I have always had a question, why do you look so high on China?" Richard asked his doubts, which had obviously been in his mind for a long time.

Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, "This is a good question. Let me also ask you, when do you think the peak of the British Empire was, the Victorian era, right? Why is the Victorian era the peak?"

Richard thought this question was strange, how simple it was, "The British Empire has territory in any time zone, and hundreds of millions of people live within the empire's territory."

Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and said as if he were a teacher, "If you change the word "Britain" to "China" in your mouth, you will understand why you have to take a high look at China. Oriental culture is just a goodwill talk used to bring each other closer. There is no quantitative standard for this thing. You say you are strong, others say they are strong. Indians say that their culture leads the world, but area and population cannot be faked. When it comes to culture, British culture is obviously not the best in Europe. France’s opponents cannot even have an advantage against Germany and Russia.”

"Of course, we must also keep an eye on Nehru at this stage. Goa is not only important to Portugal, but also important to us. Although it is a Portuguese territory, it is also a window for British products to enter India."

"So what is the standard?" Richard still wanted to ask more clearly to prevent overreaction.

"Well, as long as China does not annex Vietnam, it has nothing to do with us. No matter what the Americans say, we are just staring at Indonesia." Alan Wilson hesitated, and in order to reassure his successor, he gave a fairly broad standard s answer.

Thinking about it, you know it's impossible, so this standard can't be triggered.

If probability is not considered, what if Vietnam is part of China? The Pearl River Delta region will definitely be the most affected. Anyone with eyes knows that the geographical environment of the Red River Plain is much better than that of the Pearl River Delta. The Pearl River Delta Plain is not large. Once Vietnam becomes a part of China, the economic center of the south will definitely shift to Red River Plain.

This answer was a reassurance for Richard, and the conversation between the two ended here. Alan Wilson gave Richard a few days to spend with the Sultan and the compradors, and a few days later the appointment would be read out.

Then Alan Wilson went to Vivien Leigh to discuss manned spaceflight. Manned spaceflight is so important and should be discussed frequently.

"Are you going back to London?" Vivien Leigh sat in the man's arms, caressing the man's back with one hand, and whispered with her head on his broad shoulders, "I want to go back too, I don't want to leave you."

"Vivian, of course you can't leave me. Otherwise, my life will lack a lot of happiness." Ellen Wilson, who was in a daze and didn't know what to do, said while enjoying the graceful figure of the female Bodhisattva, "Behind a busy man, there should be a good one." Women do the logistics so they can work with peace of mind.”

"It's a pity that you don't only have me as a good woman to provide logistical support." Vivien Leigh lightly bit the man's shoulder, but she relaxed her force when the situation happened, fearing that the bite would hurt this man who had the same status as her husband.

A few days later, in the presence of the Sultan and compradors, Alan Wilson read out the Whitehall appointment, and Richard officially took over as High Commissioner for the Colony of Malaya. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Richard expressed that he would do his best to make Malaya’s economic miracle continues, “the good times are yet to come.”

"These days are really getting more and more decisive." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly and looked at his former subordinate who was at the center. It was not correct to say that, as long as he returned to London, Richard would still be his subordinate.

Obviously, the feeling brought by a full-time job is definitely different. Richard's smile at this time is more genuine than ever before.

The lost has-been could only take the water and electricity management contract of the Malayan colony, pack his bags in despair, and prepare to return to London. First, he would make Richard happy. Soon he would find out how Sir Barron was treated.

Before embarking on the return journey, the British treasure, who had already put on sunglasses and a headscarf, had already set off to return to London, which she had not lived in for many years and felt a bit strange.

It was several days later, after passing through Paris, which had been experiencing occasional protests, that Alan Wilson returned to the British capital.

Alan Wilson, who had already handed over the colonial work, went straight to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, showing his determination to dedicate everything to Britain, and had another handover with Sir Ismay.

"Alan, are you the newly appointed deputy secretary-general?" Harold Wilson expressed his welcome happily after seeing the visitor. "I thought there would be a guy who is not easy to get in touch with. If so, I will Suggest a replacement to the Prime Minister, but since it’s you, you won’t have to do that.”

"Minister Harold, I haven't seen you for a long time and you are now the Foreign Secretary. I seem to have seen that the diplomacy of the British Empire is about to enter the Wilson era." Alan Wilson also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other person. He, Wilson, was referring to It's himself, like Reaganomics, referring to Wall Street's Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan, not the actor.
