Chapter 754: The Source of Xenophobia

The difference is that the collapse of the Soviet Union is not an inevitable event, the combined forces of the free world are certainly far superior to the Soviet Union alone, but the Soviet Union has enough ability to defend itself, to disintegrate so tragically as the end, is not an inevitable.

But the British colonies of tens of millions of square kilometers, is almost certain to lose, even Alan Wilson does not expect the British Empire to return to the top, but just want to pick a few important locations to guard with all their might, to avoid this life of the motherland to become a heel, that’s all.

The vast majority of the colonies now had a price in his eyes, and selling them to private tycoons didn’t hurt at all.

Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman are not in the same position as the stars of Hong Kong, trapped in a small market not much better than ordinary people, but even in the United States, where the movie market is the largest, the stars are not comparable to the rich and powerful at the top.

But they have popularity, just not so easy to realize the channel in the latter days, Alan Wilson wants to help a few people, if they can help the United Kingdom, sell some of the island performance, the benefits are naturally there.

“In this world, so far, the order is still established by Britain and France, I know in my heart, the United States wants to receive the order established by Britain and France. Washington’s support for France’s continuation of the Vietnam War actually serves this purpose.”

Ingrid Bergman was not an official and did not know politics that well, but she had heard Allen Wilson mention that much of France’s military spending was supported by U.S. military aid, and asked in disbelief, “Where does that come from?”

“Think about how far the difference is between France’s national power and that of the United States. Even if France is only responsible for a quarter of the military spending, but the U.S. national strength is more than four times that of France, it seems fair, no one can pick out the fault. But the Vietnam War lasted a day, and the drain on France was incomparable.”

If the U.S. is equal to four France, the U.S. is burdened with three-quarters of the military spending, which can only be said to be in line with France’s consumption. But the United States is more than four times as powerful as France. One-quarter of the military expenses alone dragged Paris into misery, and the remaining three-quarters had little effect on the United States at all.

This kind of seemingly well-intentioned help is just as fair as Britain and the United States stationing troops with each other, which only has the appearance of fairness. Who doesn’t know that Britain and the United States are not on the same level in terms of land area, and that an American garrison in Britain would have a far greater impact on Britain than British troops in the United States.

Ingrid Bergman did not speak, waiting for the man’s explanation, Allen Wilson did not sell, “The United States wants the order in the hands of Britain and France, I know in my heart that it is unlikely that all of them will be retained, so that is why I want to behave in a smarter way, in fact, as long as there is money, what can not be negotiated?”

“Let’s use our popularity to get the word out about the private island sale. Attract buyers to take the bait?” The corners of Hedy Lamarr’s mouth quirked up, “Is that using us?”

“Don’t say the word using as a family, it hurts your feelings.” Alan Wilson foreheaded slightly and smiled, “You may not believe it when I say it, but I am indeed helping my homeland. It’s true that my colleagues will get some benefits, but it’s not a contradiction, it’s possible to strike a balance between public and private.”

“You have a point either way mino.” Hedy Lamarr said and wondered how she could help.

The United States in this era was really powerful, Hedy Lamarr was not like Ellen Wilson, able to analyze with data through all kinds of information and intelligence, but she also stayed in the United States for not a short period of time, and knew that the rich in the United States were really rich, and there were a lot of people who had the financial strength to buy the island.

This matter was as her own man said, there was a great deal of interest at stake, and only a colonial empire like Britain, which didn’t really care much about the colonies, had the means to do so.

“Like France selling Louisiana?” Hedy Lamarr leapt to use that example as a comparison.

“Not exactly the same, the value is different.” Allen Wilson nodded and shook his head again, ambivalent about the unorthodox comparison; Louisiana was worth so much more.

While the two were thinking about it, Allen Wilson had gotten up and walked behind them, bending down to give Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman a quick kiss on the cheeks, nothing major, just wanting a bit of the same treatment as her husband.

Since they had to wait for a response to the sale of the island, several of the women were in no hurry to return to Europe and continued their stay in British Malaya.

Alan Wilson has other things, now already 1954, turn to the time of the election, he did not want to let the Conservative Party on stage to perform the free fall movement, wait until after two years Churchill no longer adhere to the obsession, abdicate to step down as leader of the Conservative Party, the first stage of post-war Britain is considered to be a smooth passage.

A movie that sings the praises of the government is kind of the number one boring show of all time, but it has to be divided into how you look at it. If a Paris-based film company had created such a movie, it might have caused a stir and could have had a positive effect on the Labor Party’s election.

This time Ingrid Bergman was really surprised, this man’s purpose already had a tendency to interfere in the election, “It’s amazing that you think in this direction. I even doubt that you can interfere in American elections.”

“It’s not good to interfere in American elections, the kind where the Electoral College has a huge role to play, there’s too much shady stuff going on. European elections are all about simple majorities. As for some intelligence on Beria’s death, I’ll try to find some to give you for reference.” Alan Wilson sat directly between the two men and said.

“Why are you doing this?” Hedy Lamarr wondered, would the politician who was on stage affect this man?

“We prefer Labor’s nationalization policy. It also helps my colleagues, many of the islands are in the hands of my colleagues, and while I can say hello through the Overseas Assets Management Board, they are the real administrators of a place.”

Idle little things have been talked about, Alan Wilson now want to do business, tiptoeing to lock the door, decided to stay in the hotel where the honored guests stayed for a night, he labored for the British Empire, but also can not enjoy enjoy it? My second brother invincible ……

Soon this telegram caused a discussion in Whitehall, the specific discussion in 10,000 kilometers away from Allen Wilson naturally impossible to know, he is still in Malaya public and private, showing excessive energy.

Dien Bien Phu war, the creation of cultural centers, and even take care of the needs of the guests, all aspects of one.

Who is claiming invincibility? Who dares to say undefeated? The empire has not even seen the setting sun!

“Commissioner, there’s been an incident, is the Executive Council interfering?” Richard reached out to the top man over the phone.

“What’s the tension? Indian infiltration coming through? It’s not like it hasn’t been here before!” Alan Wilson, his neck clamped around the microphone, inquired nonchalantly, “Is it important?”

“Yes and no!” Richard’s voice came from the microphone, “It’s like this, according to the regulations you set up earlier, emotional disputes of colonial subjects arise and they are repatriated according to their location of origin, and one thing just came up. I wish to inquire whether we are to repatriate, or whether we are to ignore the occurrence of a lynching.”

“The matter!” Alan Wilson exclaimed with a meaning inexplicable exclamation, sort of understanding Richard’s difficulty.

Britain’s administration of the colonies generally followed the original local laws, which is why the Great Qing Law of Xiangjiang was not abolished. However, it should also be divided into what things, some too cruel original laws, Britain is also severely prohibited, India’s widows self-immolation circulated for thousands of years, in the end, or by the British soldiers’ bayonets corrected.

Theoretically British Malaya resisted the colonization of people, according to the Qing law is naturally beheaded, according to the law of peace teachings are also very cruel. Allen Wilson’s arrival was certainly still a severe suppression, but also avoided the use of such a penalty for execution.

If it was before, Allen Wilson would have repatriated them to Africa with the women involved, and the matter would have been closed.

But recently, Allen Wilson was thinking of how to create a wave of xenophobia, shaping the difference between us and them in the British Malayan colonies! This was something that could be utilized on.

“Waterboarding or stoning?” Alan Wilson inquired into the microphone after a long silence, he was asking whether the natives involved were Chinese or Malay, and to do an act that would hurt the public morals, the lynching for the Chinese would be by immersion in a pigsty, while stoning would be the law of the religion of peace.

“Waterboarding!” Richard answered quickly, and then inquired, “Commissioner, are we interfering?”

“Not interfering; we condemn it severely when it is over, but it had better happen.” Alan Wilson finished his thought, “Give the Chinese the African colonists involved as well, and have the Chinese execute the two men.”

“Huh?” This answer made Richard a little surprised, Britain is after all a modern civilized empire, still very low hostility to some cruel punishments, otherwise it would not have made a big deal in the first place, strictly prohibiting widows from self-immolation in British India.

“Ah what? It’s good for shaping the conservative atmosphere in the Malayan colonies. In principle we don’t want this sort of thing to happen, but out of practicality, the Chinese are upset about it and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Richard then heard a busy signal and it seemed like he heard a female voice on the microphone, “You’re crushing my hair ……” but it seemed like the commissioner’s wife didn’t have a Malaya ah!

Richard might have been able to live with the man and woman involved if he hadn’t reported the incident, but making the report out of the support of his top lieutenants brought with it the certainty of death for both.

For Alan Wilson, who had the future of ten million people in the colonies to consider and wanted to shape it to what he thought was right, then these two men died for what they were worth.

He didn’t ask what the names of the people involved were, which of the other colonies was involved, it didn’t matter.

By the time the people were dead, the colonial government of his conference would have used the lynchings to pay lip service to such lynchings, but would still have acquiesced to the existence of similar lynchings, and in the final analysis the morality of the situation didn’t matter.
