Chapter 535 Sudan Joint Protest
“To put it simply in one sentence, talk about anything, Chinese people want Chinese education no problem, I can even help you guys. In fact, I treated you guys well among the history textbooks, this is something I think Mr. Lin Lianyu should be able to see, after all, Mr. Lin is considered to be a cultural person. I even added the remarks of an Englishman who studies biology into the textbook, it’s that what four civilizations, isn’t that enough to express sincerity?”
The Englishman studying biology in Alan Wilson’s mouth was named Joseph Lee, the author of the four great inventions of ancient China. As for this gentleman’s level of history? He was a biology enthusiast!
The level is probably about the same as the scholar who researched out that the Hungarians were the descendants of the Huns. Every subject has its own position, and for the sake of promoting national pride, it’s okay to include similar content in textbooks for Chinese people.
Although this is not fair, so in the Chinese history after the world history textbooks, Alan Wilson also back to fill in a little, for example, in the reference to the original geometry, emphasized the leading including but not limited to all known civilizations, hundreds to thousands of years.
Lin Lianyu was an educator, graduating with record grades from the Department of Literature, History and Geography of the Normal Department of Jimei School, and was retained to serve at his alma mater. In 1927, due to the turmoil of the times, the school was closed and traveled to the South Seas, teaching successively in Aitahua, Perak and Renmufu, Java, Indonesia.
At the outbreak of the Pacific War, he joined the Selangor Medical Auxiliary Corps to assist in the war effort. After the war, he presided over the resumption of Zun Kong and invested all the money from the sale of pigs in the construction of Zun Kong.
He had never heard of the four great civilizations because Joseph Lee’s theory of the four great civilizations had only been around for less than seven years. It was only in the midst of word-of-mouth, and naturally it had never made it into any textbooks.
With regard to education, Lin Lianyu also raised a few questions, but he was an educator who respected Confucius, and Alan Wilson had studied materialistic history in his previous life, so not all of their views were similar.
In the end Allen Wilson pulled the conversation back, “My position is very simple, talk about anything, talk about culture is fine, talk about business is fine, because I am prepared to carry out the work of promoting exports. The population of Malaya has grown rapidly over the past five years, there are already nearly ten million people, and I am sure that the population will increase rapidly for some time to come. Malaya can now afford greater development, and there are high hopes in the homeland for this, and you Chinese and Malays, provided you don’t give us any trouble, an improvement in life is foreseeable, and it may even be said that it will be possible to bring British Malaya up to the position of pre-war Japan, or to the equivalent of Spain in Europe.”
In front of these representatives of the MCA and Chinese workers, Allen Wilson also expressed his sincerity, saying that restrictions on commerce would be opened up, like the development of the tin and rubber industries, granting permission for Chinese and British companies to compete directly with each other.
In fact, many people in the MCA are businessmen, and when they heard Allen Wilson’s promise, they showed joy.
“Commissioner, I wonder if it is possible to release Mr. Liang Yugao, who is also an educator respected by many.” Lin Lianyu mentioned the friend he knew in the education sector at this time, wanting Allen Wilson to pardon.
“Liang Yugao!” As soon as Alan Wilson heard this name, he returned to his desk and took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and replied without any sense of apology, “This person has already been shot a month ago. The charge was anti-British elements!”
“Huh?” Lin Lianyu was shocked, busy saying, “Commissioner you can’t be mistaken, he was an advocate of English education, and could even be said to be the leader of the English education faction, you guys can’t be mistaken.”
“No mistake, he has the membership of the Cannon Party.” Alan Wilson slanted a glance at Lin Lianyu and replied unhurriedly, “In January, Mrs. Chang Gong launched a fierce attack on the British Empire, he was arrested by the previous commissioner and had already been shot before I took office, a person who follows the Cannon Party’s ass in pointing fingers at the British Empire’s policies is the right anti-British element. Or a cousin of Chen Bijun, shot is shot.”
“For some time to come, Malaya is where I will be working, I hope you all understand what is untouchable. I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to regret it, and there’s also a big firework that will be shipped in from the mainland, and I’ll be inviting you all to watch it then. I don’t want this big firework to explode one day in the colonies of the British Empire, but it’s not just a matter of what I want or don’t want.”
Alan Wilson ended this constructive meeting, but kept Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang and the others. He also hosted a midday meal, on one hand it was to catch up on old times, on the other hand, he still felt that these people were more trustworthy.
“Lord Zhongtang, what are the fireworks you just mentioned?” Su Yang asked curiously, “And you’re going to invite us to view them then? Is this considered a celebration of your arrival?”
“It’s fine to say it’s a celebration.” Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and admitted, “Just don’t be surprised by you guys when the time comes.”
The current nuclear test had been set to be conducted in the sea south of Kalimantan, mainly to deter post-independence Indonesia, as well as independent organizations in Malaya.
“Prepare yourselves well, maybe you’ll catch up with those people just now, after all, the Chinese community has changed now, and the number of Chinese who have come to Malaya with you has exceeded the number of Chinese who were there before. As long as you don’t become independent, there is no business field that is restrictive to you, and you can even be supported.”
“The British Empire is now ruled for the Labor Party, which is also socialist, and I myself have made plans regarding economic development, and will need your help when the time comes. It’s still the same thing, everything is fine without independence.”
Tian Qianqiu, Su Yang, these representatives of the Chinese workers left, Alan Wilson also symbolically sent a little, just did not go out of the public office. As a colonial government administrator, Allen Wilson must have an understanding of his situation, although he brought bulletproof vests, but still hope not to use them.
Two days later, he welcomed his second guest, the hereditary Sultan of British Malaya. There are nine hereditary rulers in pro-British Malaya, namely the Supreme Ruler of Negeri Sembilan, the Sultan of Selangor, the Sultan of Perlis, the Sultan of Rajakarta, the Sultan of Terengganu, the Sultan of Kedah, the Sultan of Kelantan, the Sultan of Pahang, the Sultan of Johor and the Sultan of Perak.
These hereditary rulers were nominally about the same as Ali Khan who still insisted on defending Tubang. There was also supposed to be the King of the Kingdom of Sarawak, except that Mr. Brooke was only nominally reset, and the man had not yet come to Malaya, and even the news of his reset was not known even to his nephew, whom he had always considered eligible to succeed to the throne.
As for the conversation with these sultans, Alan Wilson is the opposite of the Chinese, ensuring that the majority of Malayan lands are not impacted, and is interested in finding ways to curb the influx of Chinese.
Influx my ass, the civil war is over, where are the large numbers of Chinese coming from. Alan Wilson wrote a blank check, clichéd about guaranteeing that the private territories of the major sultans would not be infringed upon.
“Honorable Commissioner, we have always been loyal to the British Empire, but the growth in the number of Chinese over the past few years has caused us great concern.” The Sultan of Johor couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the mention of the issue, stating that he had been talking to the previous commissioner, but there had been no response.
“I wouldn’t have responded if it was me, who let the Malays always try to drive us away.” Alan Wilson faced the Sultan of Johor’s questioning and said without panic, “Honorable Sultan, don’t you know that the majority of Malays are still looking forward to Britain’s departure now? If we retreat, you may not always win the battle.”
“Is it possible that you are doing this intentionally?” The Sultan of Pahang embodied the unique skill of those with good verbal skills in Malaya, and anyway, Alan Wilson could not have done a sentence that turned from aggressive to calm and two turns of phrase.
He even wanted to make the Sultan of Pahang say it again, but after all, he was the hereditary Sultan, he could not afford to be too disrespectful, and said noncommittally, “It’s actually okay, and it’s really gratifying to hear that your relations with the Indian population are improving quickly. I’ve found that everyone can be at peace once they have a numerical disadvantage. The Malayan Congress Party and the Indian National Congress Party are two styles, when I worked in British India, the Indian National Congress Party was oh-so-unbeatable.”
In January India had officially become a Republic and Nehru became the official Prime Minister of India.
Why would Alan Wilson mention India in a good way, mainly because the first matter he received when he first took office that involved something other than Malaya was New Delhi’s demand that British Malaya return the Andaman Islands.
Allen Wilson had gone to great lengths for the islands, even cutting off supplies to the islands to provoke a mutiny. And in the end, they still have to give it back to the Indians?
It is just that today to all come, Allen Wilson ordered, oh not a request, in front of the nine sultans jointly issued a reply telegram, clear that the Andaman Islands is an integral part of the British Empire, now under the administration of British Malaya, at the same time in the name of the individual to express the indignation of India’s ambitions for Hyderabad.
Alan Wilson felt that his demands were not excessive, and indeed they were not, and these hereditary rulers complied.
It was a great relief to him, the Malayan High Commissioner, who had only just assumed office, that the first time he had taken the representatives of the backward classes so well. There was a first time for this sort of thing and then there were countless others.
“Then wait until the nuclear tests have been successful, and then they will all telegraph together, pledging their allegiance to London that they will not be independent.”
Before letting these sultans leave, Alan Wilson still told these people, when the time comes to receive the telegram from the Commissioner’s Office, don’t forget to go to see the British Empire’s Great Salute then.
“Commissioner, these men may not understand what was promised, but then again, was the test detonated on an offshore island?”
“And where is that? If I had ten thousand nukes right now, I’d detonate them directly in Washington and Moscow.” Alan Wilson was full of not being surprised, “Tomorrow is the Malayan Congress Party, you chair the meeting for me, I’ll just go and sit in on it, it’s been two days of this spit fee.”
Alisa some twisted, “I am mainly afraid of gossip, I have been married, my husband may come back to see me, I’m afraid that he is sad.”
Alan Wilson looked straight at Alisa and blurted out, “You are very disrespectful to your husband right now.”
It’s only a thousand words, so I’m going to bed first.
No one should be waiting this late, but I still have to say it. I really missed out on not saying two shifts today.
