Chapter 546 Operation Hurricane
Those invited by Alan Wilson included the nine Sultans of Johor, Pahang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah and Perlis, the leaders of the MCA, Tan Zhen Luu, Lim Lien Yoke and others, and the President of the Malaysian National Congress, Dewi.
He also formally acknowledged, in the presence of these community leaders, the imminent adoption of a land policy in favor of the Malays, “There is no doubt that we must ensure that the tragedy of the Indo-Pakistani Partition will not be repeated, and that the independence of British India has made us realize that it is still necessary to take a period of time to develop and build up before there is any capacity for independence. There is no ground for independence in Malaya at the present time, and with my words out of the way, who is in favor of it and who is against it?”
The nine sultans representing the Malays naturally would not object, while Alan Wilson went further, “Honorable sultans, you should understand one thing, whether it’s the United States or the Soviet Union, there is no good feelings towards monarchy, as a local monarch, the thing that would be in your interest would be to be on friendly terms with the United Kingdom.”
“As for the Chinese community, I personally have great respect for you.” Alan Wilson switched to the official language, Shi Shi said, “Currently the two major, oh, sort of the three major ethnic groups of Indian origin, the main thing is to stabilize and develop, I have high hopes for the Chinese. Talk about anything without talking about independence. I believe you also know that commercial restrictions have been liberalized, you want to make money no one will restrict. Let’s make peace with peace.”
As for the already marginalized ethnic Indians, how could Alan Wilson, as a former High Commissioner who worked and struggled in British India, be indifferent? In saying that Dewi, the president of the Malayan Congress Party, has already publicly stated that the Andaman Islands are an integral part of the British Empire.
Allen Wilson also London has agreed to support the Malayan economy and disclose the matter, in general this time in accordance with the Eastern tradition of the banquet, not at all like Hongmen Banquet. The atmosphere in Goncourt was so convivial that it was a model of a colony of the Sunset Empire.
There were also some dancers dancing during the period to cheer up the party, which simply gave Alan Wilson the illusion of being a great man.
“Commissioner, regarding the matter of land distribution, we actually have no problem.” Sultan of Kelantan spoke, “In fact currently, several of us are also doing our best to ensure the loyalty of the Malays, and none of this is a problem.”
“Then play the music and then dance!” Alan Wilson waved his hand and then withdrew his attention, “From my perspective, I will do everything possible to maintain the stability of Malaya, the British Empire has high hopes for British Malaya, even more than what was expected of British India in the first place, and I believe that no matter what community the guests here belong to, they all wish for better and better days.”
“I don’t suppose the President of the Congress Party would want to be repatriated to India?” Malayan Congress President Dewi’s meat in his mouth stopped tasting good for a moment.
“The honorable sultans of my congregation certainly don’t want their status to disappear!” The faces of the nine sultans became ugly.
“The Chinese seek wealth, but surely they don’t want a repeat of the war, do they not, the last fifty years all the memories of the war are in the minds of the Chinese, it was a very terrible thing.”
The only thing left in the arena is the dancing girls with a Middle Eastern style scratching their heads in the music, but there is no sound of the guests, it seems that the atmosphere of the hall is very contrary to the atmosphere, Alan Wilson drank a glass of wine without saltiness, “If everyone can cooperate, I believe that the good days are not far away, after all, there is still the support of the native land, if any part of it is not honest, before I leave, I will let Malaya return to the British state before they landed.”
When the Dutch were in Java in the car, they had carried out systematic sabotage, blowing up railroad bridges and setting fire to rubber plantations, and the Malay Peninsula was just across the strait from Java, and knew exactly what was happening at that time.
Only these people did not know that although the thing was done by the Dutch, the person who made the proposal was right in front of them.
The meaning is in place on the line, the words do not have to say too much understanding, a little better, Allen Wilson softly said, “If the French one day withdraw from Vietnam, hope that the British Empire to help shelling the coastal cities of Vietnam, out of the traditional friendship between Britain and France, I think the British will not be refused. By the way, some warships of the Pacific Fleet will be permanently stationed in Malaya, and the battleship fleet is sooner or later all of them will be permanently stationed, so everyone has a mental preparation.”
“By the way, in a few days honored guests, and I go out to sea to observe the ceremony.” Alan Wilson put down the wine glass in his hand, gently emphasized, “Can’t not go, otherwise it’s hard for me to think that those who don’t go are reliable or not.”
After a bit of civil offense, all of the important leaders of these communities were left in Kuala Lumpur, but being a reasonable man, he allowed them to report back home.
The unfriendly term of house arrest could not be used to explain his present behavior; it was entirely the good sense of the leaders of these communities that made them stay voluntarily.
He was waiting for the Malaya battleship to arrive in the harbor, and also to see what had happened to his community after the departure of these head honchos of the various clans.
Compared to these former bigwigs, although the group in which they were located had long been the largest group in Malaya, Tian Qianqiu and Su Yang, the Chinese workers who had been to Newfoundland, still did not have a corresponding status.
Of course their relationship with Allen Wilson is still very close, close is close, the necessary security protection will still not be less, after determining the safety of both sides very close.
Inquiring why these people were detained, Alan Wilson did not use words to stall, “I want to invite these people to observe the ceremony, and I’m afraid that they do not want to go, so this is the next step. But I believe they will forgive me in time.”
“Lord Zhongtang, what exactly is it that you have to go out to sea to watch?” Su Yang said with a curious face, “Making it mysterious.”
“You guys aren’t outsiders, it’s okay to tell.” Alan Wilson mused for a moment, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, “It’s the nuclear bomb that was thrown at Nagasaki Hiroshima.”
On the day of the twenty-fourth, borrowing the military’s transportation plane, Allen Wilson transported these people along with himself to Penang.
Instead, Penang’s harbor was anchored by the battleship Malaya, a battleship named after the commissioner’s colony he was now a part of.
The last of the Queen Elizabeth class battleships of the First World War, the Malaya, which should have been dismantled two years ago, is still sailing the oceans in her old age. In fact, the Queen Elizabeth class battleships, the current have not been dismantled, the remaining two sealed in the mainland, the war in the Royal Netherlands Navy service.
Alan Wilson in and General Mountbatten’s telegram, said Malaya can afford the part of the logistical costs, in fact, refers to these World War I antiques, old in fact, no matter, can open the gun on the line, to deal with the colonies also what high-tech? The first time I saw a gun in Jakarta, I was able to scare the pants off the Indonesians.
World War I antiques so what, how many countries can build it?
Boarded this has been more than thirty years of age of the battleship, Alan Wilson felt a sense of history in the face. Three hundred and eighty-one millimeters of the main gun, as if telling the past great years.
As a former main ship of the Royal Navy, although older, but also used to observe is absolutely no problem, is it two modernization refit in vain?
From the performance of these guests after boarding the ship, Alan Wilson can also see, these in British Malaya quite a position of honor, in fact, has not boarded the battleship named after this colony.
Because the sea conditions in the North Atlantic are well known to all, in terms of navigability, the British warships are outstanding.
Alan Wilson even took these guests to visit up, face red heart not jumping loudly boasted, “according to the Jakarta to carry out a round of firing, see how they still dare to disturb the stability of everyone’s life, then mounted nuclear artillery shells, humph.”
Amidst a chorus of laughter that may have been unintentional, the battleship Malaya sailed out of Penang Harbor towards the small island where the nuclear tests would take place.
On the two westernmost parallel islets of the Langkawi archipelago, the more westerly isolated island, the British nuclear weapon for this test had already been emplaced, on a Liberty Ship, next to the similarly stranded test target ship, with cars and tanks laid out on the shore.
This nuclear test code name for the Hurricane program, in order to more intuitive observation, the person in charge of William Penney, also temporarily boarded the Malaya battleship, through the equipment on this one of the main ship, more intuitive feel the power of nuclear weapons.
With some preparations already in place, the Hurricane program officially began the countdown, the Malaya battleship stayed at the appropriate distance, all the crew and came to witness the history of the observers, all put on the sunglasses that had already been prepared. The radio in the command room constantly reminded of the countdown.
As the direct person in charge of the project, William Penny was also quite nervous in his mind, and also chatted with Alan Wilson to ease his nerves, “We discovered a more powerful fusion reaction during the experiment.”
“This is similar to the news fed back from some secret channels.” As soon as Allen Wilson heard it, he knew what William Penny was talking about, the more powerful hydrogen bomb, and also spoke, “Of course the Americans have blocked the news from us, it’s just some unconfirmed information, but listening to Mr. William today, with the American style of doing things, it must be true.”
However, according to history, the United States’ hydrogen bomb will not be successfully developed for another two years, if it is not impossible to catch up now.
“Reminder to all, put on your sunglasses to cover up, one minute to countdown, fifty-nine seconds ……”
With the prompt from the command tower, the heavy people gathered in the ship window have put on the sunglasses, listening to the countdown reading without emotion, finally, at the same time as the reading was completed, a blinding light exploded above the free wheel where the nuclear bomb was installed, at the same time, the whole free wheel was vaporized, only to be followed by the rushing smoke and the sound waves accompanied by the impact of the broken ……
The test island, turned into a sea of fire, shrouded in a fog of sorrow. While the entire battleship and the British at the observation post on the eastern island, they cheered loudly and popped their heads in celebration of the introduction of the British nuclear bomb.
“Excellent!” Alan Wilson clenched his fists, two years ahead of schedule, this has been a great solution to a great problem.
