Chapter 593 Sit-in petition

“Commissioner, aren’t the conditions in the countryside rather harsh, it looks like you’ve cleared out quite a bit.” Alisa expressed concern at this point, “I came back from a trip out with a big appetite.”

“Mainly to replenish the loss of body loss.” Alan Wilson wiped his mouth and said, “After all, not everyone is a wealthy and powerful American army that can maintain a generous supply anywhere.”

The fighting strength of the U.S. Army has never depended on the wealth of the U.S., the so-called hard struggle for the U.S. Army has long been a long time in the past, like the past story of the Civil War stockpile being used as munitions for the U.S. Army in World War I, it is estimated that the young soldiers of the U.S. Army would not believe in it nowadays.

Even if you go out to accompany Vivien Leigh to spend the world of two, Allen Wilson has to prepare some food by himself. Which is like the U.S. Army in the Korean War, even the food thrown away became delicious food for the South Korean soldiers and civilians.

South Koreans get this luxury material is very limited, not like the U.S. military to meet the dietary needs of everyone, how to make the whole family rain become a real problem, good in South Korea have hot pot culture can be utilized, mixed with some homegrown cheap vegetables, tofu, pasta, etc. stewed into a big pot, you can satisfy the whole family on the pursuit of tasty food, the troop pot is thus born.

Koreans should be allowed to talk a lot about the instant noodles that have just appeared in Malaya and have been patented in London and New York.

Never know plagiarism is shameful Alan Wilson, has been the Japanese invention of instant noodles, the first in British Malaya to promote out, that is, the conditions do not allow, otherwise he even the Koreans like cold noodles can be made.

But now the basis of Malaya, can not guarantee that every family has a refrigerator, can only first think of ways from the instant noodles.

That said, instant noodles also came into being because of the fast-paced life caused by Japan’s post-war social animal culture. From this point of view, it is very suitable for the current Malaya, anyway, Alan Wilson think instant noodles is a good thing, good for preservation, suitable for fast-paced life, really can not be used to assist the third world, especially the arid areas.

You know at the current time, the British army is still stationed in a number of relatively backward places it, instant noodles would be very suitable for the British army. He even wanted to discuss with General Mountbatten to see if he could think of a way to do something about the Secretary of State for the Sea, who managed logistics.

At least 150,000 reservists shouldn’t have the same kind of fussy stench as the Royal Navy’s first-line officers and men.

He even wanted to sell instant noodles to South Korea, and it was in keeping with the Korean tradition that, as a resoundingly developed country, South Korea was the per capita instant noodle champion of the twenty-first century. Hanging on to China and Japan, not letting the U.S. and Russia. Reflects the deep heritage of developed countries.

Considering the current Japan and South Korea, whether from the food self-sufficiency rate or the objective environment, are not in a position to be picky. The current instant noodles should be very popular.

So Alisa received a task, if the Japanese in Bibi Rao, let Japan import British Malaya just launched instant noodles, the two sides signed at least three years of food supply contracts, which can be exchanged for Allen Wilson’s serious attitude.

In the just past 1950, Allen Wilson from the inauguration of a series of activities, running places including but not limited to Australia, the British mainland, Africa, for British Malaya to find financial resources, raw materials and policy support.

Even from Newfoundland, where he had struggled, he stretched out a sum of money to invest in British Malaya. After a whole year of busy work, at the beginning of the new year, he had already set this year in his mind as the beginning of British Malaya’s take-off year.

Initially expected before 1956, that is, before the outbreak of the historical Suez Canal, to become a strong complement to the British mainland, at least in a number of hardware indicators can not be worse than the mainland, such as steel production, food production, and the traditional advantages of the project, and even above the oil resources and so on.

Currently Pamela Mountbatten is looking for an opportunity to wait until the Libyan oil has a return, waiting for an opportunity to squeeze into the Middle East oil market, and at the same time there is still the North Sea as well as Malaya’s exploration work to be carried out.

In this case, in fact, the emergence of such a thing that can be described as tricky, in fact, Malaya’s development plan is unfavorable.

So Allen Wilson can’t let this matter can’t be finished in a year and a half, ready to use three months time to complete all the follow-up processing, if this is exactly a sudden event, that is bound to be impossible to succeed.

But fortunately it wasn’t a sudden event, and he had it on file long before it happened.

As the arrests inevitably expanded, more and more criminals were thrown into prison, and in the first week of Alan Wilson’s return to Kuala Lumpur, more than ten thousand arrests had been made, and by the end of the month, the raids under military control continued unabated, and the number of people in prison had already exceeded thirty thousand.

And there was no tendency to stop, and social gossip was circulating that the British colonial government was going to capture no fewer than the number of prisoners of war killed or wounded to give the Japanese an account.

The hearts and minds of the people in British Malaya were now in flux, and the British Army, which had had little presence, could often be seen in the presence of ordinary people.

Just as the U.S. Army was initially gaining a foothold, the fourth battle to validate the speculation of Li Qiwei’s worship offensive was being fought. Protests just happened naturally, at first small and concentrated only in Kuala Lumpur, then they grew in size and were not limited to separate cities, spreading to Penang, Malacca and other places.

The protesting crowds threatened the colonial government of British Malaya by claiming the falsehood of a peaceful petition.

Then of course, as the face of imperialism and colonialism, Allen Wilson could not give in, and barricades were set up near the administrative offices, and British troops, who had not suppressed colonial resistance for a long time, pushed their heavy machine guns into the neighborhoods.

“In order to stop the expansion of the mass, of course, some means had to be used. But with heavy machine guns?”

Lt. Gen. Bilton wasn’t quite able to accept that Alan Wilson was ready to create bloodshed at any moment.

“I also spread the word through the Security Intelligence Committee that Malaya has a stockpile of nuclear bombs.” Alan Wilson made it clear that district heavy machine guns were not going to give him a sense of security, and that things like nuclear weapons were going to be used when they were supposed to be used.

And he wasn’t exactly lying, in fact how can a nuclear test be conducted only once? Of course, Britain will continue to conduct nuclear tests, still in British Malaya.

Of course, in the current social climate, it does seem a bit threatening to conduct nuclear tests.

“Alan, you have to realize that if this gets out of hand, it’s a big deal.” Lt. General Bilton expressed his concern with a quiet sigh.

“General, stop it, London’s response to British Malaya has never been one of repression.” Alan Wilson said with a slight smile, “And isn’t it continuing well at the moment, look at what a peaceful sit-in protest, the organizer at the head of it was draped in the British Empire’s rice flag, it’s simply a model for similar activities.”

“You think the Chinese will give us a chance to make a killing, stop it, treat the Chinese with whatever words are used to describe them. But this ethnic group just has nothing to do with impulsiveness. The trait of overthinking and greed has its pros and cons, but in this case it’s not a bad thing, and aren’t they just asking to have a conversation with me? I will have a conversation, just not yet.”

Protests of this sort, although British Malaya is currently under military rule, are after all still unrestricted to the media on British soil, and sit-in petitions that took up entire neighborhoods appeared in major London newspapers within days.

Under the concern of Whitehall, many media, which absolutely do not bow to the government, very rarely reported in a neutral and objective tone, as well as the purpose of the petition’s organizers wanting to talk to Alan Wilson.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Battle was being fought in full swing, and the matter of British Malaya did not grab headlines around the world.

The Fourth Battle could be seen as the first battle for the American army to come back to its senses from a face of confusion after being hammered into a dog, and it was also the first time that Li Qiwei had validated the idea of the worship offensive, which presented a flagging stance from just the beginning.

Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn’t grab the headlines for such a weighty battle, and while hardening himself against the sit-in petitions, he was getting almost two telegrams a day from Whitehall.

After all, a bunch of unscrupulous journalists all raised their cups to the basic skill of sensationalizing trivial matters.

Not to mention the fact that the Kuala Lumpur sit-in petition was really big. It wasn’t the product of a forgery of finding a few random bits of firewood and getting down on the ground with an adjusted angle and a shot of the Executive Council.

Whitehall saw the report on the endless people in the sit-in, densely packed the entire neighborhood. Naturally, it could not remain indifferent.

Alan Wilson repeatedly assured him that the petition was in good order, and that he himself was not currently rubbing the petitioners’ noses in it. In the meantime a dialogue had been prepared, and a final assurance was given that a period of stability would surely come to British Malaya after this event.

“But then again, London is in a hurry now.” A table with a few dishes, Alan Wilson took the initiative to pour a cup for Su Yang who was facing him, and took the initiative to inquire, “Is Mary very worried about you? After all, you are the organizer of the petition.”

“Fortunately, the worry is also a little bit, Lord Zhongtang, how is Lao Tian.” Su Yang took the wine glass and let the British Malaya Commissioner fill it up, not forgetting Tian Qianqiu who was in prison.

Regarding who exactly was organizing the petition outside and who was building up prestige inside the prison between Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu, according to Su Yang’s own personal confession, it was said to be the result of his rowing victory.

“I also called to the prison two days ago, not bad, rest and relaxation regular a lot, do not want to think about anything, the work work work the sleep can only sleep, but also put on a lot of weight.” Alan Wilson watched Su Yang going to the bottom of another glass of wine, tapping the table with his finger complained, “You are here to defend the rights of the Chinese, if you go out in a while drunk, how to explain?”

“Lord Zhongtang, if I go out a little later, won’t it be more proof that the negotiations are difficult?” Su Yang hit a wine barrier, “I’ll go out again after I finish eating to sober up.”

“Don’t forget the words I taught you, negotiation is extremely difficult, the Executive Council means, never condone, about the hatred between China and Japan, Britain does not take a position, but killing people to pay for their lives and debts, I believe you Chinese also recognize.” Alan Wilson said with an old-fashioned air, “It is reasonable and lawful for us to do so, and you yourself must admit that the present petition is unwarranted.”

“But our blood is thicker than water, even if it is unreasonable, we must save them.” Su Yang continued on, “Got it. Go back and I’ll say so, pour another glass, English wine is not strong.”

“You drink slowly, just because the wine has no strength doesn’t mean it’s not intoxicating.” Alan Wilson didn’t forget to remind, “Last cup ah.”
