Chapter 577 The law is not responsible for the people
Alan Wilson let Saif want not to agree so easily, this matter is still the most important to see Ali Khan himself how to think. People are now a current monarch, it is not the turn of Saif for his ideas.
London is also recognized by Ali Khan, not Saif this Ali Khan more than twenty sons of one of them.
At the present time, when the Kingdom of Sarawak has been restored and transferred to the name of Pamela Mountbatten, there are still three places in British Malaya where no monarch exists, excluding, of course, the direct jurisdiction of the Isthmus of Krai. After the cession of the Isthmus of Krakatau it was categorized as a Straits Colony, and also part of the Straits Colony were Penang and Malacca.
So there was only one left that could be taken out and traded with Ali Khan, Sabah, south of Sarawak, and the most famous thing that happened in Sabah was a death march.
In World War II, Allied troops began fighting the Japanese. Allied bombing destroyed most of the towns and Sandakan was leveled. Sandakan had a brutal POW camp run by the Japanese to hold Australian and British prisoners of war in North Borneo.
The prisoners were subjected to inhumane treatment and the Allied bombing led the Japanese to relocate the camp inland to Rannau, a distance of two hundred and sixty kilometers. By that time the number of all POW prisoners had been reduced to two thousand five hundred and were forced to embark on the infamous Sandakan Death March. Almost all of the POWs died on this march, with only six Australians surviving the escape.
Sabah was, after all, more than seventy thousand square kilometers in area, and the population was small though. Surely it wouldn’t be so easily handed over to Ali Khan, which was why Alan Wilson had made such a suggestion, given that London was now doing everything it could to get money.
And he said to Saif very clear, even if he became the monarch of Sabah, it is not possible to be like in the previous Hyderabad as a word of honor, have been this time, even in Asia, the monarch should be transformed to the symbolic significance of the monarchy, it is impossible to reproduce the monarchy of the agricultural era.
Alan Wilson did not show the urgent desire to realize, in his view this matter can be done is certainly good.
Ali Khan billions of wealth, if used in British Malaya above, can make this colony accelerate the take-off.
At the same time is also to strengthen the British Malaya on the Soviet Union’s ability to resist, he has not seen a few monarchs on the Soviet Union that set of special interest, Sabah is in the north of Sarawak, the development of a good Sarawak also have a role in promoting.
Originally, after the war, British troops landed in Malaya under the guise of being surrendered. Later, in order to restore and strengthen the colonial rule, Britain launched the Malayan Federation Plan. The Malayan Federation Plan was that Britain was to change the way of ruling Malaya from indirect to direct by depriving the sultans of the various native states of their right to rule. At the same time, equal citizenship was introduced, i.e. Chinese and Indians were given equal status as Malays.
However, this plan was fiercely opposed by the Malays. The Malays regarded the British act of depriving the Sultan of his rule as a severe blow to their national identity and identity, and the opening up of equal citizenship as a serious threat to the special status of the Malays in politics.
At that time British India could no longer be maintained, the united British Indian civil servants, proposed an alternative approach, opening up the Xiangjiang border, using the opening of the floodgates to waterproof the Malay demographic advantage by flooding with Chinese, while stationing British troops as a deterrent.
The effect after the flooding was really good, and now the Malays are no longer making a fuss, after the term of Gerald Edward, Alan Wilson took office, British Malaya has become a colony under the direct administration of the British civil service, that is to say, British Malaya is now under direct administration, and no longer relies on what the landed state assistance with British India.
So Ali Khan, even if he came to Malaya and became the monarch of Sabah, was to be a respected and beloved monarch just like the original native sultan, and was not to dictate the administration of the colony.
These differences, Alan Wilson did not have the slightest concealment, and Saif and dish out, so that Ali Khan know the real situation here, Alan Wilson take money to do honesty, will not deceive each other on this issue.
After all the difficulties were frankly told, Allen Wilson sent Saif out of the Executive Office, “This is a possible cost of hundreds of millions of pounds, I am just a proposal, the Maharaja should know the difficulty of this, so whether things can be accomplished or not, the Maharaja himself to arrive at a judgment.”
Saif couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he heard that it could potentially cost hundreds of millions of pounds, it was indeed a huge sum of money, and he wasn’t sure if his own father, Ali Khan, could come up with it.
Despite this thought, Saif still said, “I will inform my father of all the risks, and in any case, I thank the Commissioner for being able to think of a friendship with my father at this time.”
“I am a man of few virtues, but there is one thing I can still do, having been helped by the Maharaja at the start of his career, I am bound to return the favor at some point in time. Sabah is not a small area but has a small population, and if Ali Khan is interested, I am willing to help in the planning of the matter, and being at present the commissioner of Malaya, I am just in a position to do so.”
Alan Wilson’s attitude is very businesslike, treating this matter as a pure business, whether or not it can come to fruition depends on how Ali Khan considers it.
A slap in the face does not work, mainly depends on Ali Khan himself to consider, this is like the United States of America’s nuclear umbrella works or not, if the United States with a large retaliation to deter the Soviet Union’s attack on the U.S. mainland, this threat to the Soviet Union to speak of the credibility of the higher.
But if the same threat deterred a Soviet attack on Western Europe, it would be less credible.
So why did Britain and France also develop nuclear weapons? In their heart of hearts, London and Paris also did not believe that the United States would have a nuclear war with the Soviet Union for the sake of Europe, so both countries had to discover nuclear weapons and have the ability to make the Soviet Union throw in the towel themselves.
Leaving Saif and Ali Khan to communicate, Allen Wilson went on about his business, and to say that MacArthur had run into his fated Waterloo had any effect on Allen Wilson.
That is that he now turned the Commissioner’s broadcasts into daily broadcasts, repeating and repeating to make it clear that Britain was not sending ground troops into the war, and that it was not at all the same thing as the United States.
Who made the main ethnic group in British Malaya the Chinese, who he had to constantly appease, while differentiating Britain from the US. Again, analyzing data and reasoning. Maintaining the stability of this most important colony to Britain today.
But he couldn’t live like this for the next three years, and if he wanted to get out of the announcer’s rut, he had to think of something.
“Lord Nakatsu!” Entering into an empty villa area, Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu saw Allen Wilson as well as Anna as soon as they entered, greeting them while inquiring, “Who is this?”
Allen Wilson glanced at Anna and said with a calm face, “According to your words, it’s my concubine. Please sit down!”
Without further ado, Alan Wilson took out the return telegram from London and opened today’s discourse tutorial, “Some time ago, Japanese representatives did come to Penang, hoping that the colonial government would release the prisoners of war and repatriate them back to their country.”
When Isamu Ikeda came, in fact, the U.S. Army had not yet encountered MacArthur’s lifelong enemy, but Allen Wilson played a rubric and acted as if it were so.
This makes Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu’s face cold, both are new immigrants, leaving the motherland full of four or five years, national sentiment which is so easy to disappear.
Japan at this time to return to the prisoners of war, and the war on the peninsula linked, two people naturally thought, the Americans are to rearm Japan into the war.
This can be bitter Anna, if Allen Wilson with English conversation, she after all, trained by Gatzner, on the English language is not a problem at all, but Gatzner did not teach Chinese ah.
“According to London’s instructions, I will officially start the work of repatriating prisoners of war after the first of the year.” Alan Wilson looked at the two patriots without panic, “As to whether they are going to participate in the war, I do not know.”
“Lord Lt. Tang, Japan is nothing more than a defeated country, what qualifications does it have to make demands on you.” Tian Qianqiu said with an angry look on his face, “Please forgive me, I just can’t understand it somehow.”
“But Japan’s back is the United States, there is nothing I can do.” Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders to express his love for the country, then turned his words around and said, “In fact, I don’t want to do this, you all should know that the London government is expecting Malaya and has invested a great deal of manpower and resources in it, and this war inevitably may affect the local stability. After all, there are many of you Chinese, and now London has certain concerns. Once London’s judgment is affected, it will be bad for all Imperial subjects throughout Malaya.”
“Furthermore, because of the geographical location, the war in the peninsula must have been a boost to Japan. Even if Malaya will not be affected by the war, Malaya and Japan are rivals from the point of view of economic development.”
“It’s true that it’s not fair that some people are poor and some are rich in this world, and if both Japan and Malaya are able to make the same thing, the price is bound to not sell high. This reasoning I believe you are all adults and will not fail to understand.”
Alan Wilson said this matter with a very honest attitude from the national perspective as well as the economic perspective, and finally said, “If you guys can do this, it will also be a huge benefit to the lives of the Chinese in Malaya in the future. With one less competitor, your lives will be easier too, won’t they?”
“Lord Zhongtang is hoping that we will do a bad job of coming forward for London.” Tian Qianqiu pondered for a moment and said, “I understand, so that London can be relieved to see the Chinese community.”
“Yes, when the time comes, I will find a way to make London pardon you for the crimes of this operation.” Alan Wilson began to tell his whole plan, including what law is not responsible, ah, the king’s pardon.
What extenuating circumstances, what exchange of benefits, Allen Wilson concluded, “When the time comes for me to treat the murderers to a meal in jail, one of you two will organize a sit-in protest outside, draped in beige flags, to set the mood in place. I’ll help you operate in London in the name of maintaining stability in the colony. One thing, though, it must constitute a condition of lawlessness to do so, both in terms of the number of participants and the number of guarantors when it’s all over.”
