Chapter 768: Vesting of Legacies
that
“When your wealth accumulates to a certain extent again, I can let each of you get the title of Justice of the Peace, and then enter the Legislative Council, and then you can also be considered powerful.” Alan Wilson still understands the reasoning of giving a sweet date with a slap on the face, which can only be considered as a basic code for bureaucrats.
British Malaya colony’s department, has been learning Xiangjiang for reform, the current real power department in addition to the Executive Council, the Legislative Council is also considered to be a loud and clear department, of course, this department, Alan Wilson also has the power to carry out a full takeover.
In addition to the administrative side of the work, other matters that can not be overly concerned, leaving the matter of the British forces in Malaysia. After all, Malaya can not be compared to the incense booger big place, can do military and political integration.
Even if the current Cabinet and Whitehall most he, the High Commissioner, trust again, it is not possible to agree to Allen Wilson to put the military and politics in one hand, if he agrees, he is equivalent to the colony to do the work of Cromwell.
“Thank you for the promotion of the Lord of the Middle Hall!” Su Yang’s peers looked at each other, they all saw the joy in each other’s eyes, it’s no wonder, who doesn’t like progress, at least the vast majority of people do.
“Don’t say such words as mentioning, I’m good to every friend, the French rely too much on military power, it’s a destruction of order, order once destroyed will bring a lot of fearless killing. England, with still greater military power than France, could certainly choose the same path, but we know in our hearts that we should not.”
Alan Wilson mused, “Sooner or later the Chinese will appear in the colonial government, and what we want is for as reliable a figure as possible to appear and work together to build Malaya up.”
By first pointing out that Britain had a stronger military than France as a deterrent, and then saying that everything was negotiable, Alan Wilson, though not an old bureaucrat, could even be said to still have a kind of idealism about people. But it was necessary to do so from a practical point of view.
The conflict between the colonial government and the colony itself had to be hidden in some way, and Allen Wilson of course sought to hold on to power, considering that the monarch of Sarawak was Pamela Mountbatten, and he also wanted to keep Malaya firmly under control. But at the same time, he was trying to find ways to stay hidden behind the scenes so that the colonists would not feel the presence of the colonial government.
As for the questions mentioned by the big buyer, Allen Wilson also gave answers to all of them, helping to bring in his buyer friends and discussing how to achieve the purpose.
“Zhongtang-sama, your words have inspired us greatly.” Tian Qianqiu spoke with a look of admiration.
“The French colonial government is also a colonial government, and the merchants here and you are merely in a different place. So you guys know what my daily job in Kuala Lumpur is, right?” Alan Wilson let out a soft laugh and shook his head slightly, “Although I don’t want to self-criticize, honesty is my nature, and these words shouldn’t have been known to you guys.”
His daily work, of course, was to wake up every day and start thinking about how to strengthen the colonial system, pondering over the resistance of the colonies, like Su Yang and such big buyers who had already stepped onto the road to success, were also the object of his daily pondering.
“What are we talking about?” Fei Wenli poked her head from the stairway that leads straight up, she naturally knows nothing about Chinese, but Xia Meng, who is also downstairs, can hear and understand, and knows a seven or eight, and came up to inquire at this time, “We brought a bit of French bread, it seems to be different from the one we ate in France.”
“That’s of course, always do as the Romans do. Uh, Mr. Sue and the others may not be used to it.” Allenwell was a little embarrassed, not to mention Su Yang and the others, he himself lost his appetite as soon as he heard about French baguettes, but once he thought of the different tastes of different places, the national treasure had a piece of goodwill, so he didn’t say anything.
“Come to think of it, there are quite a few Chinese here, there are you guys to eat.” Vivien Leigh smiled lightly raised her arm in greeting and headed downstairs.
“Thank you ma’am!” Su Yang several people opened their mouths to express their gratitude at the same time, the stairway was long gone.
Oops! Alan Wilson couldn’t help but scratch his scalp, the title Mrs. might bring trouble. Fei Wen Li couldn’t understand it, but there was one downstairs that could.
All in all, it’s not worth thinking about, just go downstairs to eat, Xia Meng that little girl, look at Alan Wilson’s face is a little strange, to say that there was some awareness before, this time the lady’s name, she is considered to be sure that this colony’s big official and her boss have this kind of relationship.
“He seems to be much younger than the boss.” Xia Meng thought so in her heart, she but heard that this big official’s age is not big, and she is only considered to be the same age, thinking of this Xia Meng could not help but dwell on how to think of this.
After the meal Su Yang and others have to say goodbye, after the British colonial commissioner of some analysis, they have learned in the same environment in the Vietnamese counterparts in the environment, the reasoning is much the same, have gained they, decided to follow this line of thinking to the activities.
“You think highly of them?” Although Vivienne didn’t understand Chinese, having one downstairs who did could put things in perspective and understand what the men were talking about upstairs.
“They’re going to be successful people in the future and can do a lot of things on our behalf.” Alan Wilson picked his teeth with a toothpick and slowly explained, “This time I came, I have my mission, they have theirs. Borrowing a little bit of Chinese vernacular is not very much, I think.”
“But the Chinese are the majority in Malaya, you’ve supported them, will you want more in the future” Vivienne was a little worried, she was afraid that her man’s efforts would go down the drain, not that she particularly liked the colony.
“The majority status of the Chinese is temporary, the Malay fertility rate is a little higher than the Chinese. With the exception of Ali Khan, all nine sultans are Malay. I’m going to find a way to cut the two communities apart.” Alan Wilson explained it this way.
Just as the rural population must have a higher fertility rate than the urban population, he had already allocated most of the land to the Malays.
The Chinese are tasked with being the workers, and only this generation of Chinese can still maintain a strong desire to procreate. The next generation of Malays would catch up in numbers.
After all, the demographic advantage of the Chinese is only a relative majority, an advantage that can be smoothed out in a generation.
“The Legislative Council needs them too, I can’t keep looking at the British troops in the garrison, I’m only one man, and there are more than 40,000 British officers and men, I can’t keep an eye on them.” Alan Wilson also stated a reason, the colonial garrison and the population of the colony, there will certainly be conflict, this point Britain has been considered superior, and the French can not be compared to the United States is also much better than the United States.
But conflict exists, Alan Wilson has encountered many similar cases, and also adheres to the usual ethics, to the middle and senior officers net, to the enlisted class hit hard.
The middle and senior officers were mainly fined, and the enlisted class was hit hard. This is already very difficult, that is, Admiral Mountbatten through the nobility, the military two major areas. Would any other commissioner dare to deal with the military all the time?
“That’s a problem!” Vivienne also understood Alan Wilson’s difficulties once she heard it, then asked, “The resident British army won’t be the same as the French army, right?”
“That won’t be, it’s also far better than the American army, Britain’s military discipline was visible throughout Europe in the middle of World War II. It’s just that armies are made up of people, and it’s unlikely that military discipline can be expected to restrain everything.” Alan Wilson replied thus.
At the critical moment, the French once again became a good shield, not exactly a slur, all true.
The end of colonization was a wonderful world for someone as experienced as Allen Wilson, the Sovereign needed independent colonies to be safe, but preferably also to be overdeveloped.
So there’s a lot more to it than that, take Alan Wilson, who before he left took the fixed assets of British India and divided them up among the big Indian families of Tata, Birla and so on, and handed out a whole bunch of British settlement rights.
At this moment, if he were commissioner here everything would be fine, but he just came over to help, and could only advise the French, and it didn’t always work.
“For now, at least, the legacy left behind is still under French control. You still have the power of distribution. We also have to do what we can. Like focusing on supporting up a group of reliable people. These people can’t be accepted by the dominant nation, and only then can we seek support from foreign powers.”
General Navarre thoughtfully nodded and said, “That is indeed what should be done, Allen, what group do you think is appropriate.”
“Communities with an awkward status that have some power in their own right, there’s no choice but the Chinese. The other small ethnic groups are even more backward than the Vietnamese, it’s too late now.” Alan Wilson honestly, the Chinese community in Southeast Asia in the colonies, long-term is not this role.
In fact, both men understand in their hearts, there is and only this choice, visible among the vision, there is no second candidate.
Treatment of North Vietnam, France on taking away everything that can be taken away, if not take away to destroy. This is nothing to say, but to South Vietnam can not be so, even if France wants to do so, the United States will not agree.
If South Vietnam were to be completely destroyed along with it, and both North and South Vietnam were to become proletarian, how could the United States resist the Soviet forces moving south? So in South Vietnam, France could not treat it the same way as it treated North Vietnam, but had to keep South Vietnam’s ability to resist the North.
France, now in South Vietnam, faced the same choices as Britain did in British India, and had to choose a group of reliable people to transfer the colonial legacy.
Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the United States had long been thinking of France’s colonial heritage, the same way he was thinking of it, or else bring the Chinese buyers in Malaya over to do what? France’s colonial heritage was destined to be received, the Americans thought it should be them, he also thought it should be Britain.
General Nawal decided to send Allen Wilson a gift to express his gratitude, but Allen Wilson refused, he came in the spirit of imperialist solidarity, how could he be subjected to such petty favors?
