Chapter 726: I have a clear conscience
Japan’s political status has never been a weakling, not to mention at this stage of the world, even in the twenty-first century, Japan is the lowest status among the Group of Seven. The economic giant, the military dwarf, the political midget is Japan.
Even in the twenty-first century Japan is such a political status, now Japan once the United States does not support, Japan is in the middle of the siege.
But Allen Wilson also contacted, by telegram, the British Ambassador to the United Nations, Lord Pallison, who also told him of America’s misgivings.
After the loss of Hokkaido, the U.S. was also worried about the expansion of pro-Soviet forces in Japan, and was skeptical of the Australian and New Zealand proposals, fearing that Japan might turn to the Soviet Union if pushed too far.
“Quite a big brain!” Alan Wilson simply doubted his eyes, this possibility only existed in theory. It was almost impossible for it to become a reality, were the American troops in Japan for food?
Even if we don’t talk about the existence of American troops in Japan, countries in general are wary of the Soviet Union, that’s a country that advocates equality for all, which country doesn’t have a powerful class?
Japan’s pre-war power elite is more than what Germany retained, and those gatekeepers and plutocrats from the Meiji era until now would turn to the USSR? Wouldn’t that be suicide?
In the end, the United States is not yet the hope of the twenty-first century has become a great human hope, in the black heart thick skin in this area there is still something to learn, Allen Wilson in the return telegram that Japan will never appear to turn to the Soviet Union threat, if there is also very easy to suppress, it is not worth making a big fuss.
Of course this was a private telegram with Lord Parison, and the other party had been told not to divulge it. The Americans were persuaded to agree, but of course it was impossible to suppress such a thing with a real turn.
We were all decent people, and something emotional had to be brought out for the Americans to recognize.
From the emotional start is simple, Australia and New Zealand, and the United Kingdom and the United States, but the blood is thicker than water in the country, we have the same language and race, if at this stage of the calm world, the United States do not support the two countries of the legitimate aspirations, really to the time of confrontation with the Soviet Union, the two countries can still put out all the effort?
Australia surely can, but the United States does not know. As for the remaining party, the Philippines, is the United States of America’s earliest and largest colony, any country does not have the Philippines and the United States of America’s deep feelings, the United States wants to support out a benchmark, the first choice is of course the Philippines.
Allen Wilson knows that the Philippines in the sixties pulled the crotch, but the United States does not know, now the Philippines development momentum is quite good, is definitely a rising star in Asia.
Allen Wilson embodied his own Whitehall socialite side, with no one knows more about the Orient than I do tone, in the telegram, said that the Americans’ doubts are superfluous, this matter is not difficult. As soon as the U.S. leaks a little, the Japanese government can immediately show that no one knows more about being a dog than I do.
“The establishment of Japan’s Self-Defense Force, plus reparations, should spit out some of the dividends of the Korean War, right?” Alan Wilson looked in the direction of the Land of the Rising Sun in the northeast and let out words of concern under his breath.
The establishment of the Japan Self-Defense Force would lead to an investment in military spending in Japan. Even if the United States is willing to support Japan, it is impossible to even reimburse Japan’s military expenses, there must always be a part of the Japanese government itself to bear the burden.
And this time the claim, if not the Philippines alone, but with Australia and New Zealand to join. Alan Wilson was looking forward to a suitable figure coming up, which would allow Japan not to accumulate the funds to support industrial upgrading so quickly.
After all, British Malaya was a colony, and the original purpose of British support was to be able to bear the cost of British military expenditure, which was under pressure, and now that Japan was also under pressure for military expenditure, the two sides were sort of even.
Alan Wilson was very much looking forward to getting rid of the Philippines, which was alone, and could help each other with Australia and New Zealand to pit a piece of meat from the Japanese, although it was none of his business.
The stabilization of Malaya remained his main concern, and British Malaya faced real Indonesian infiltration, just not as serious as he had informed the country.
On this particular day, he and the Commissioner of East Malaysia, Edel, went to a prison located on the border of Sarawak and Sabah to look at the Indonesian infiltrators who had been captured, as well as the prisoners who had been captured for other cases, the name of the prison was nothing to write home about, it was called the Castle Peak Detention Center, a very neutral name.
“We catch Indonesian infiltrators every month, and if it weren’t for the mutual help with the Dutch, it would be a real defense.” Ender accompanied his top boss as he described the Castle Hill Detention Center.
Alan Wilson, on the other hand, kept nodding his head, which was still the result of the Dutch control of Kalimantan. Historically, Indonesia’s air-dropped armed infiltrators could mess up Britain’s defense.
The fundamental reason is that Indonesia’s territory is next to the East Malaysia, in the face of such a long border, the British army in Malaya is also unable to do anything. And now that the Netherlands controls Kalimantan, this infiltration has been considered very soft.
“The other area is for general criminals, where they are due to be released after some necessary labor.” Ender pointed to another field in which a number of less dangerous prisoners were laboring.
“That doesn’t look too bad!” Alan Wilson heartily exclaimed, what a harmonious piece of scenery, but only in a place like a prison can this be done, “For infiltrating lunatics we have to strike hard, we’d rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let one go, infiltrating elements of greater danger have no need for re-education, they must be cleaned up on a regular basis.”
“I understand, Commissioner!” Ender understood, he was well aware of Alan Wilson’s temperament, lagging behind does not necessarily mean getting beaten up, it mainly depends on whether or not the commissioner is going to hit someone today.
Indonesia believes that it has a good reason to merge with Malaysia, in addition to the two countries are located in the Malay Archipelago, but also their main ethnic groups are evolved from the ancient Malay people, language, religion, culture and other aspects are very similar, which is the basis of Indonesia’s “great power ambition”.
This is not Sukarno’s own theory, but the idea of a Greater Indonesia has been widely spread since Indonesia was still called the Dutch East Indies.
In the British colonies there was also a market for a similar “pan-Malayism”. The two factions also privately discussed the idea of a single Malay state after independence.
The inmates of the Castle Peak Detention Center were not all infiltrators from Indonesia, but many were locals.
But to this day, Alan Wilson has judged that the act of helping the Netherlands to occupy the island of Kalimantan ultimately helped the United Kingdom, and with the help of the Dutch, the threat to the United Kingdom from Indonesian infiltration has been much smaller.
In a good mood, Alan Wilson also chatted for a while with a swapper who was considered to be a general criminal, asking the other party what he had come in for.
“Drunk and disorderly!” The Chinese man’s face flashed with remorse, and at the same time, he expressed his determination to change his ways to the official in front of him.
“Drinking and causing trouble, that’s really normal.” Alan Wilson gave a bitter smile and shook his head slightly, “This is not considered an unforgivable crime, I believe that you will not be incarcerated for a very long time, after you go out, think more about it, find some hobbies to cultivate your body and temper, change your temper, now that the employment situation in Malaya is so good, as long as you are willing to put in the labor, I don’t think there is any problem with having a good family life. ”
There are also secret Chinese associations and organizations in British Malaya, such as those of the gangsters. But Allen Wilson was willing to give the other side the ground to survive as long as they didn’t turn on the British colonial government.
After all, the Chinese themselves, because of some problems in their characteristics, actually lacked the deterrent power that would make people respect them. Gangster organizations, although it can not talk about how strong, but after all there is some use. It was important to realize that the beliefs of the Malays, that was the most successful religion in the agricultural era and the religion of peace.
Leaving the Castle Peak Detention Center, Alan Wilson’s trip to East Malaysia is considered to be over, there will be by a group of anti-British elements disappeared from the world, but this is not detrimental to the prosperity and stability of British Malaya.
Back in Kuala Lumpur, he began his boring life as a commissioner again, working until two o’clock in the afternoon every day, looking away from the West, logistics in the end when to come, the world’s invincible second brother is dissatisfied.
But the earliest person to come was the one who put him in the dilemma, and when Princess Margaret descended on this eastern colony with her royal servants, Alan Wilson wasn’t even a little bit happy.
“Brother-in-law!” Princess Margaret’s eyes lit up when she saw Allen Wilson and greeted him with a smile.
“Uh-huh!” Allen Wilson squinted his eyes and replied, “Why didn’t you come with Pamela this time?”
When was the life of the royal family already so free, that said the era of that problem child Prince Harry in the latter days, leaving the UK to run around east and west for nothing, there were no words for that.
But it’s only 1953 now, isn’t it a bit too free for Princess Margaret to run around when she has nothing to do?
“Pamela will come in a few days when she’s done with her work, and I’m not bored out of my mind in the country, so I’m coming out for a walk first.” Princess Margaret’s heart thumped, answering her brother-in-law’s doubts.
Alan Wilson nodded his head, thinking that was good, and politely welcomed the princess to Malaya. The Queen’s sister came here, expressing the importance of the British Empire to Malaya, and such words were constantly spoken.
However, on occasions where there were no other people, the relationship between the two changed again, and Margaret’s behavior was quite active, a far cry from when she was in public.
“Your Royal Highness, if you ever do that …… again,” Alan Wilson warned with a glance, and with a clear mouth, “I shall have a clear conscience.”
The contribution that Lord Lt. Hall has made for Britain is already enough, and it’s only right to get some rewards, not to mention the fact that people are so proactive.
