Chapter 566 Security Intelligence Committee

“Colleagues say you are very reliable!” Resuming to give Ender a short telegram, Alan Wilson then went about his business, which was to establish the important organization under direct management.

And he will soon have a group of colleagues arrived in British Malaya, these colleagues from MI6, say colleagues is absolutely right, because it is MI6 British foreign intelligence agency, under the British Foreign Office, responsible to the Foreign Secretary.

Alan Wilson is a civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MI6 is of course his colleagues, MI5 belongs to the internal counter-intelligence and national security agencies, responsible to the Home Secretary. Those in MI5 can only be described as Alan Wilson’s peers.

From this point you can see, MI6 and MI5 and the KGB power gap, MI6 and MI5, the two belong to different ministers responsible for the department. Only do the work of a general directorate under the KGB.

KGB first general directorate is the General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, the second general directorate is the General Directorate of Domestic Spy Prevention, down there are General Directorate of Military Management, General Directorate of Transportation Management, a dozen or so general directorates.

In fact, it is far worse, the situation in the United Kingdom is more special, the general country’s intelligence services are law enforcement powers.

But the United Kingdom does not, that is to say, even if MI5 found a spy, can not go to arrest themselves, but to find the police to arrest. It usually went to the Scottish police to make the arrest.

Britain’s management in the colonies belongs to the unity but not rule, rarely direct management, even in British India, with 100,000 civil servants working, but also rely heavily on the assistance of India’s native elite.

British India is so important are so, other colonies, not to mention, and France’s management of colonial power is not comparable, now the Far East broke out in the war, as the commissioner of British Malaya, he first of all to maintain local stability.

Especially can not be affected by this war, this is the immediate priority, this time to Kuala Lumpur people, MI5 have, MI6 also have, to help British Malaya to establish a functioning secret service.

The ruling power of a country is nothing but manifested through the four forces of the military, police, constitutional and special services.

The military, as a colony, currently belongs to the resident British army. Even if there is a need to expand the military strength of British Malaya, considering the current ethnic balance, it will only absorb the Malays and not the Chinese.

Although this may be a bit unfair to the Chinese, it is something that must be done. Alan Wilson never wanted to take British Malaya cheaply to anyone, the hand that should be guarded is to be guarded.

The same is true of the police department, so the only two departments left to reflect the ruling power of the country are the gendarmerie. This is where the solution lies.

Because British Malaya was a colony, Alan Wilson, as High Commissioner, had a very great deal of power, and it could be said that he had far more authority in Kuala Lumpur than Norman Brooke had in London. After all, Norman Brooke had a cabinet above him, Allen Wilson had nothing above him.

With this condition, he could now build an intelligence agency that could be used as he saw fit.

This intelligence agency must have the authority of both MI6 and MI5, and at the same time, it must have the power to enforce the law, and it can’t be like the domestic MI5, doing the funny department of discovering spies and notifying the police.

As for the people who can be absorbed by this department, first of all, they must have several basic conditions, be able to use English to communicate without any obstacles, and at the same time consider themselves to be the British Empire’s subjects, then there is not much room for choice, and they can only absorb the members with among the Straits Chinese.

The Straits Chinese have long been spiritually British, but their numbers are just too small to act as a social counterweight to the Malays. But it does not mean that Alan Wilson will forget this group of spiritual British.

The Straits Chinese could be used to form a strong arm like intelligence to guard against infiltration of British Malaya including but not limited to Indonesia, and as far as trust was concerned Alan Wilson was very optimistic.

Not long ago Alisa entered the office, first congratulated Allen Wilson returned to Kuala Lumpur, at the same time took out a number of Singaporean residents and people’s investigation report, opened his mouth and asked, “with them to form a special services department, will there be problems. After all, this is very risky.”

“Depending on what this department does, if it is used for defense against Indonesia, there is no risk. As for dealing with threats from other directions. We in Britain can do that ourselves. This department is ultimately used to maintain internal stability.”

Alan Wilson knew what his men were worried about, but he felt the risk was manageable. Because in his eyes, the Chinese’s ability to assimilate was entirely a matter of position, and not that scary; on the contrary, the Chinese were extremely easy to assimilate.

He had very many examples in his mind, and he didn’t even have to think of them from above the Straits Chinese, because the British Empire, as the first global empire, and the current world hegemony, the United States, also spoke English, and it was easy to find a group of fans all over the world, so it wasn’t suitable to be used as an example.

Just look at Thailand Burma, Thailand technically doesn’t have any Chinese, it does have a large number of people who have Chinese ancestry and know that their ancestors came from China, but in reality have become indistinguishable from Thais.

As for Burma, the Burmese Chinese are not a handful near the border, there are up to several million Chinese in Burma, most of them are far from the border, around Rangoon, and most of them support the Burmese government.

Even these two countries, which aren’t particularly good, have managed to keep the Chinese in check, there’s no reason why British Malaya can’t do the same. As for the ability of the Chinese in Southeast Asian Malaya and Indonesia not to assimilate, it is entirely due to the fact that Pacifist habits are so far removed from the Chinese.

Although the assimilation ability of the pacifists is considered outstanding in the world, but that is based on the success of the agricultural era, modern society pacifist countries do not have a strong, chanting while wielding a sword approach does not work anymore. The reason why they look strong decades later is purely because they can be born, not assimilate others.

Regarding the secret service in British Malaya, Alan Wilson’s original intention was simple, to be big! It is not necessary to be comparable to the CIA, KGB, but because a large department can increase the number of people employed by the department, as an officer, Allen Wilson inherently has the motivation to make a department bloated.

A few days later, intelligence officers from MI6 and MI5 in London arrived in Kuala Lumpur, and Alan Wilson began to formalize the establishment of an important agency for the direct administration of the colonies, with war news as an entertaining diversion in the meantime.

Britain would not be sending ground troops into this war, but it was quite logical to send all support other than ground troops.

Alan Wilson wanted to make some necessary preparations, it is well known that in any memoirs about the war, except for a major power, the participating countries, whether it is the United States, South Korea and North Korea have a count, there are massacres of civilians.

Allen Wilson wanted to collect first-hand information to prepare for the future, in case one day and the United States flipped? These were things that could not be defended against.

At the same time he was busy building the British Malaya colony, the war did not stop for a moment, and after experiencing the retreat from the south bank of the Han River began to retreat until the Nakdong River side of the Sangju this whole 300 kilometers and kilometers, in the Nakdong River defense line stabilized the situation.

By this point, there was no way back for either the United States or South Korea. The Nakdong River defense line was lined up along Jinju – Geumcheon – Hamchang – Andong – Yingdeok.

The defense from Umgwan southward to Masan was manned by the 24th and 25th Divisions and the 1st Cavalry Division under the 8th U.S. Army Group Army, while the foothills to the east centered on Nakjeong-ri where the 1st Division was located were manned by three divisions of the Korean Army and the Capital Division.

The frontage on which the 1st Division was stationed was an open field forty-one kilometers long, which was very disadvantageous from a defensive point of view. As the North Korean army detoured into the Hunan area and captured Jinju and attacked Masan, the gateway to Pusan, the U.S. Army’s 25th Division, which had been stationed in Sangju, had to be redeployed to the Masan line, leaving this open area to be defended by the 1st Division.

The Nakdong River in effect formed a huge trench capable of protecting about three-fourths of the area within the Pusan defensive perimeter.

It should also be noted, however, that this defensive circle was too large, and as a result the two sides exchanged fire over the next few weeks, fighting hundreds of skirmishes and several major battles.

As we entered mid-August, the fighting on both sides reached a crescendo. Soldiers and officers were ready to engage in physical combat. Both sides in the twenty-kilometer-long line of short combat, throwing grenades each other, fighting to the death. Corpses were piled up on the high ground, and some of them were used as bunkers. The entire battlefield became a hell on earth.

On this day, MacArthur, who was the Commander-in-Chief, called the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., “The situation in Pusan has been stabilized to the point that it is impossible for the enemy to break through our defenses, and the conditions are ripe for the complete victory of the war by executing a world-shattering landing operation to cut off the enemy’s rear road from the middle of the peninsula while retaining Pusan to attract the enemy’s main force. The Royal Navy Pacific Fleet in the Far East was also willing to assist, manned by a corps including two divisions in strength, for the purpose of encircling and destroying the enemy in conjunction with the counteroffensive of the Eighth Army in the south.”

A day apart, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, after discussion, endorsed MacArthur’s plan, and preparations for the amphibious landing program began in earnest.

On the same day, Allen Wilson called London, in order to prevent the neighboring British Malaya coveted considerations, apply for the establishment of the British Malaya Security Intelligence Committee.

But Allen Wilson did not expect that the first news reported by this just-appeared secret service agency was to tell him that there was a recent rumor in British Malaya that the United States was going to help Japan rearm and wanted its prisoners of war back.

“Nonsense!” Alan Wilson, displaying colonial arrogance, scoffed at the news and criticized such unfounded statements without mercy.
