Chapter 590 Independent Investigation Committee

At this time, Alan Wilson was left with two deputies by his side, two of them, Alisa and Ender, followed their top boss back to the Executive Office, and after a short deliberation, the three of them came up with a common opinion that this matter could not be concealed.

“First of all, get in touch with the Japanese side, reflect the transparency of British Malaya, and apologize. If I can’t I can take a bow, it’s not a problem.” At the critical moment, Alan Wilson didn’t mind expressing the spirit of the bow maker, which he should have done as a matter of sense and reason as the highest administrative official in British Malaya.

“Accompanying the arrests is public opinion manipulation.” Alan Wilson turned to Alisa and instructed, “Pay attention to the wording, express our style of acting according to the law, and at the same time promote mutual understanding. I will immediately meet with the leaders of the MCA and the Chinese laborers to discuss what to do about this matter.”

On how this unfortunate isolated incident in British Malaya will develop next, out of all the fortuitous coincidences.

The two deputies left the Executive Office separately, and Allen Wilson had his own mission, to visit the sites where disabled prisoners of war were being held to offer condolences, and to provide all the help that concerns humanitarianism, and perhaps even life-saving treatment.

This is not an excuse to transfer the Malayan budget to London this year in a reasonable and legal manner, is not it?

Allen Wilson just returned to Kuala Lumpur, embodied the style of thunder and lightning, ordering the police department and the garrison to arrest the criminals, a time when the whole of British Malaya was in a state of panic, 40,000 British troops acted.

At the same time, Alan Wilson found the Bilton Lieutenant General, discuss how to minimize the incident.

Compared to the chief executive who was still in London when the incident occurred, Lieutenant General Bilton, who was the military chief, could be in Malaya.

If Alan Wilson was responsible, there was no doubt that Lt. Gen. Bilton was more responsible.

And so it was; it did not take much time for Allen Wilson to gain the initiative in the aftermath, and to get the military governor of Malaya on his side; it was impossible to conceal the matter.

“The usual methods would not work now; at best, they would keep London from counting the faults. That’s why extraordinary means have to be used at extraordinary times, if we can turn the current situation around. We can even turn faults into credits, we can’t use conventional concealment tactics, we need to make this a big deal and be crisp in the aftermath.”

Alan Wilson spoke out his thoughts in front of Lieutenant General Bilton, “We’ll arrest as many criminals as we can, and we can even directly shoot the suspected pro-Soviet elements that were previously incarcerated, because with this big event, we’ll be able to take advantage of the opportunity to clear out the small matters that were previously covered up in one go.”

“The matter of more than 100,000 POWs, the criminals are at least tens of thousands, arrest them all? Isn’t the risk a bit too great.” Lieutenant General Bilton was a good soldier, nominally more powerful than the positively young administrator.

Things couldn’t be generalized though, the Administrator’s father-in-law was Mountbatten, so at this point the situation was better reversed.

“Honorable Lieutenant General, so that we can give an account to international opinion.” Alan Wilson spread his hands and said, “I’m dealing with this now at the cost of a bright future. Not kidding.”

“Out of this particular time of the New Year, the garrison’s failure to respond in time is certainly extenuating, and equally extenuating are the officials at all levels, none of us wanted this to happen, but he did, so our task at hand is to do a good job of making amends.”

Lt. Gen. Bilton finally agreed, and the matter was officially handed over to Allen Wilson in its entirety. All that was left, then, was to be open, fair and impartial, and inform the Japanese side of what had happened first.

Before the Japanese side knew about it, Alan Wilson, who was busy on his feet, met with Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu again.

The first thing was to eliminate the vigilance in the other party’s mind, the cop and the thief just drank and chatted.

“You guys did it in the New Year, I already returned to Kuala Lumpur on January 6th, which kind of reflects the four words of thunder and lightning.” Alan Wilson turned his words around and said, “In the next period of time, I will conduct a cleanup of the whole of Malaya. Of course one of the two of you may have to temporarily stay inside the near cell for a while. As for the other?”

“Working on a petition outside, in the middle of a peaceful petition, hoping that the London government will be lenient.” Tian Qianqiu spoke, “We acted in haste at the time, and most of the members are Chinese laborers. I hope Lord Zhongtang will be lenient.”

“If the operation is done well, it’s not even a matter of netting a favor.” Alan Wilson paused when he said this, “Of course there’s no need to be too hasty, I believe that this kind of false rumor, the isolated incident caused by this kind of rumor, will serve as a typical example in modern society, but you guys don’t worry, like what I said before, the risk is shared.”

Would anyone dare to plan such a bizarre event in the modern world? Alan Wilson is proud to say that he dares! For the sake of the British Empire’s national power, he was definitely considered to have gone out on a limb this time. Things may succeed or fail, but as a Briton, he is definitely worthy of his country in this life.

After meeting with the ministry, the military and even the criminals, a consensus was achieved, and this matter was officially announced to the world by the British Malayan colonial government, Allen Wilson, in his capacity as the chief executive, apologized for this nonsensical and isolated incident, and guaranteed a strict and thorough investigation, and the subsequent detailed investigation report and casualty data would be announced as soon as possible within six months.

Subsequently the incident about this Japanese POW camp being stormed was known all over the world, and became the main protagonist of public opinion all over the world at the same time as the third battle had just ended.

The eyes of the world were now fixed on, Britain, currently the largest colony in Asia. Allen Wilson, on the other hand, in conjunction with Lieutenant General Bilton of the military, ostentatiously imposed military rule on Malaya.

Not to take out a final result, this military control will not end, the British Malaya major cities, on the streets of the military police began a wide search for criminals, at the same time announced the emergence of major prisoner of war camps in the tragic situation.

The Japanese government, which was preparing to receive qualified labor, immediately expressed its shock at this tragedy. Isamu Ikeda, whom we had met before, once again donned his armor and arrived in British Malaya.

But this time Alisa copes with the other side, giving Alan Wilson’s destruction of the body, er? The aftermath buys time. As for what happened to the POWs being held, he was even less likely to see them.

Isato Ikeda’s every move was being watched, and after the requisite exchange, Allen Wilson appeared, “Mr. Ikeda, we will definitely give the Japanese government an explanation. It is inevitable, the British Empire will not condone this situation, to that end we have already imposed military control and have begun to apprehend the culprits, and will already have given the Japanese government a satisfactory answer by then.”

Allen Wilson face sullen, to the other side to indicate the consistent position of the British Empire, as for the specific number, he gave a defensible and controllable answer, will not delay anything. As for these Japanese prisoners of war, not much damage can be repatriated according to the plan.

“Does Japan no longer want these Japanese POWs to return home?” As if seeing Isoroku Ikeda’s hesitation, Alan Wilson’s tone became a bit more aggressive, “Then I think the POWs in the hands of Holland, Australia, and Portugal might be affected by this as well.”

The issue of prisoners of war did not only involve Britain, but also the current colonial powers in Southeast Asia, as well as Australia. Now Alan Wilson felt that it had been a wise move to hand over the POWs to other countries before as compensation for the losses of World War II.

With more countries involved, there are naturally more excuses, and with more excuses, it is easier to shirk responsibility. And Japan didn’t dare to have any grievances, there shouldn’t have been any grievances in the first place, what grievances does a defeated country have.

“Dear Mr. Wilson, the whole world is watching.” Isato Ikeda eventually pressured with international attention.

“So what, Britain is a permanent member, and skeptical countries can submit proposals to the UN.” Alan Wilson looked straight at the other party, not panicking, “Those who don’t know think that Japan is the victor of the World War. I can give Japan a satisfactory explanation, but if Mr. Ikeda talks like that, then let me remind you that Great Britain has a nickname called Sunset.”

Regarding this incident, it was defined as an armed fight in the public opinion of the British mainland. The main reason for this was because of the Japanese demand for the repatriation of prisoners of war, and the current war being linked. That is, the previous reasonable suspicion that the local Chinese newcomers, believed that the U.S. would rearm Japanese soldiers for the war.

The details of this have not yet come from British Malaya, but the reason has become a crowd-pleasing one for British public opinion. It was also pointed out that Commissioner Alan Wilson, who was meeting in London at the time, returned to Asia quickly after learning of this, reflecting a style of thunder and lightning.

At the same time the cabinet has decided, set up an independent investigation committee, rushed to Malaya to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.

Finally the major newspapers with a picture of Alan Wilson in the streets of Paris to give money to the entire citizenry to introduce the current handling of this thorny matter in the end who is who.

There was also discussion in Whitehall about who should sit on the Independent Commission of Inquiry, and to show how seriously the matter was being taken, it was preferable that it should be headed by a gentleman of high repute and gentlemanly manners.

It was finally decided that Patricia Mountbatten’s husband, John Brabourne’s best friend, Lord Armstrong, would be in charge, and would travel to Kuala Lumpur in the name of the Independent Commission of Inquiry to give the world an explanation.

Before the Independent Commission of Inquiry went on the road, Allen Wilson sternly supervised the arrests, has achieved significant results, the entire British Malaya’s prisons have been overcrowded, just a few days more than 10,000 people have been arrested and put into the prison, he proved in practical terms that a stern and thorough investigation is never in jest.
