Chapter 557 – War Brings Demand

“Even if we had a quid pro quo, I don’t think it would be easy to accomplish the goal, the United States definitely wants us to send ground troops.” Norman Brooke informed Alan Wilson of the cabinet’s decision, but indicated that there might be a repeat of the matter.

“It’s best not to, once the scale of the war becomes unmanageable, bearing in mind that the majority of the population of British Malaya is Chinese.” Alan Wilson mused, “Of course I won’t judge whether it will destabilize Malaya because of ethnicity. But it is a possibility.”

“It seems that the move to balance the Malayan people is not much of a right move.” Norman Brooke sighed with a slight frown.

“But we couldn’t have predicted at the time that the situation in Asia would turn out like this.” Although Alan Wilson knew it in his heart, he still shirked his responsibility with the unpredictable future, “We may have to be a bit more careful in stabilizing Malaya for some time to come, but if we get through this hurdle, the benefits will be unlimited. The window of Xiangjiang is in our hands, the core of Southeast Asia, Malaya, is in our hands, as long as we can stabilize the Malayan Chinese, Southeast Asian countries can all have Chinese, we can successfully enter the market of each country through this channel.”

Alan Wilson mentioned the benefits of this, describing the ambitious goals for the future.

Now for Britain there is no other way, Malaya if you can not keep, the collapse of the British colonial system is undoubtedly.

It couldn’t vigorously support Africa, could it, Northern Rhodesia? More than 200,000 Slavs, how long would it take for the population to increase to support Britain, and where would Britain have such a long time to wait now?

“Yes, there aren’t many options left for Britain, so your job is still very important. Right, Alan!” Norman Brooke asked about another issue, “What do you think about New Delhi’s military action against Hyderabad, you have worked in India.”

“There are only a few hundred German instructors, and we know that sooner or later Hyderabad will have problems if New Delhi harbors ambitions for Hyderabad for a long time. It’s really hard to tell in this case.” Alan Wilson hesitated for a moment and replied, “But as for India as a country, I personally think it is still not advisable to think highly of it, and the so-called big country with a big voice is quite difficult to realize. Although this man Nehru is very powerful, the mouth of the Ganges and the Indus Valley already belong to another country, and the fine geography of British India has been destroyed. He can’t change anything.”

India wanted to be a reputable power, something the US would not agree to even if Britain did.

Britain dominated. As the war progressed further and the United States became the number one power in the world and gradually took over the dominant position, the attitude of the United States towards India was similar to the attitude of Britain towards India.

In order to maintain its dominant position in the society, the US could suppress any country, including but not limited to India, and the US marginalized India, the other. What started as an inequality in economic status was extended and reinforced in other areas.

In terms of domination, it reinforces US dominance. Looking at the world’s industries, it is basically the US that stands at the top of the pyramid. In terms of values, emphasize the East-West difference, marginalize India, promote core values centered on the US and negate Indian values.

In terms of social roles, restricting and hindering India’s creativity, limiting India’s access to core areas and placing it in a secondary position.

Let India participate in world affairs though the world still belongs to the US. In other words, by constantly placing India in a secondary position, the US made India feel that it was born to be secondary in order to achieve that India would always, only, be a bottom-feeder laborer for the US.

After the Cold War the U.S. played it off in the East and will only be more cautious in its treatment of India. After all, it’s not like history as a warning is the monopoly of any country, and the U.S. wouldn’t be so stupid as to fall into the same hole twice.

In front of the Cabinet Secretary, Allen Wilson still guaranteed to stabilize the situation in Malaya’s confidence, really can not, until the two battleships arrived in Asia, can shelling a Jakarta to help the fun, and not without doing, the Dutch have done.

The whole of Britain there is more certain than him, in a place where the majority of the Chinese population, dry out the results of the people?

Out of the rigor of the rhetoric, there may be, but from the actual analysis of the situation, there will not be.

So far Alan Wilson has completed, this London recalled his work, draft a response to the Far East war response analysis, for the next British in dealing with this matter to provide a model.

Looking at when looking at the Asian problem, Britain and the United States of America’s considerations are also completely different, which can also be seen from Pamela Mountbatten’s control of media reports in Australia. And the US opinion media in Australia, which says two completely different things.

Dependent on McCarthy working very well, the United States sees all countries with a political structure similar to that of the Soviet Union, all of them as part of the Soviet Union, and considers that as long as they are socialist countries, they have no autonomy at all, and, like the countries of Eastern Europe, they are directly at the disposal of the central command in Moscow.

That’s how Prime Minister Adderley saw the Eastern European countries, but not Yugoslavia, and that’s a big difference. Not to see Moscow that way, and likewise not to see the socialist countries outside Eastern Europe that way.

With this in mind, after the Northern Rhodesia episode, London remained in touch with Belgrade. The Labour Cabinet believed that maintaining links with autonomous socialist countries was in itself a way of neutralizing the Soviet threat.

Total hostility to all countries with the same system as the Soviet Union would only force them to become more dependent on Moscow.

At the same time the forces were mutual, the more socialist countries that were forced, the counterforce would also force the Western European countries to cling to the United States, and the Western European countries included Britain.

Allen Wilson knew, however, that British counsel would be ignored by the U.S. Britain assumed that Americans, relatively inexperienced in dealing with world affairs, would be willing to listen to British experience.

But this was an assumption Britain made out of assumption: that Britain and the United States had some degree of congruence of interests, an assumption that would immediately prove to be overly optimistic. Because of the unequal power of the two countries after World War II, the United States was a more powerful nation than Britain, and this limited Britain’s influence.

Possibly the only thing that could have been happy was that the outbreak of the war and the fact that the United States had determined to intervene led to a wave of gains in the U.S. steel stocks retained by Ellenwill, and that he would have been able to enjoy a wave of rising fortunes if history had remained unchanged the war had lasted for three years or so.

Of course compared to the Australian iron ore mines in the hands of Pamela Mountbatten, this could only be considered small money. At the same time that the US decided to intervene with arms, it was also the time when iron ore was ushering in a rise.

In this case, Australia’s iron ore, which is extremely pure, will have an even more significant advantage.

It can even be said that it can be supplied to the European market. Iron ore, if it is at a low price, Europe is, after all, far away from Australia. Plus Europe itself has iron ore, the demand for Australian iron ore is not urgent.

But after the iron ore selling price rises, it is different, Britain is after all the imperial preferential system support. After passing through British hands in importing it to the rest of Europe, it would be something to look forward to.

Pamela Mountbatten, who drew the cake in France, also sent a telegram to her fiancé, who had returned to London during this time, specifically to express joy because of the news that the war had led to a rise in iron ore.

Even in Sweden, the country where the best iron ore is located within Europe, Britain has a traditionally stronger relationship than Germany and France. All in all, if you can take advantage of this war to drive up the related raw materials of the east wind, Britain can still reap part of the benefits.

Alan Wilson returned to London this time, also brought the first half of the Malayan profits, a total of 28 million pounds. After all, before Malaya’s tin ore and rubber respectively accounted for half and one-third of the world’s demand, with strong pricing power.

At the same time the Netherlands withdrew from Indonesia, incidentally destroyed the original Dutch rubber industry in Indonesia, but also boosted the pricing power of British Malaya in the field of rubber, which led to two thousand eight hundred million pounds of income in the first half of the year.

The Netherlands destroyed the rubber industry in Indonesia, but helped the British, that and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States directly into the high-speed growth phase is the same, after all, competitors are gone, do not have to pretend to be a grandson in the low price, the Cold War dividend is so.

The behavior of the Dutch, is considered to let British Malaya eat a wave of small-scale Cold War dividends.

Expectations for iron ore exceeded expectations and made Pamela Mountbatten’s success course in Paris more manageable. I don’t know if it was an illusion or not, but she then realized that the French seemed to be particularly interested in the news of Libyan oil.

Alan Wilson knew that it was definitely not a delusion, the Mediterranean and North Africa had always been France’s backyard. Especially in North Africa France is accounted for the big head of the French-speaking countries there are stretches, the latter part of the first country to jump out to take out the card Daizo is also France.

France spared no effort to send troops to stabilize the backyard, strengthen the control of the Mediterranean Sea, the establishment of the Mediterranean Union led by France is false?

If the discovery of oil elsewhere is okay, but it is in North Africa, how can not let the French cheered. Maybe because of the increased interest in North Africa, France is now even more reluctant to spread its hands on North Africa.

To his fiancée’s trafficking success course went well, Allen Wilson expressed his congratulations, and then directly found Zakharova to ask about the things he was more concerned about, seeds, breeding pigs, and projects to promote the revolution in agriculture and animal husbandry.

He is not a stranger to Zakharova, after all, it is Mihailovich arranged to come over to the assistant, in fact, it is not just Malaya, North Rhodesia is also following these channels, to introduce relevant projects, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, on which the two places have the same goal, so to speak, can be said to be two birds with one stone.
