Chapter 772 Transfer of property I’m familiar with

General Navarre was busy transferring weapons to the South Vietnamese Army, all light weapons of course, to enable the South Vietnamese Army to withstand North Vietnamese military pressure after France had gone, as the United States had requested.

With French support, the South Vietnamese government army expanded from five battalions in 1950 to twenty-six battalions the following year, and established a number of military academies and a military management system centered on the General Staff, and enacted an accompanying army management system and military service law. After the Korean War, the regular army of the Bao Dai regime had been expanded to 170,000 men, and a relatively complete officer corps and reserve system had been established.

Allen Wilson had little to say about the French move, but it was just another cannon party going. A handful of elites plus the vast majority of the dry-eaten vigilantes, 200,000 North Vietnamese troops went south, and a million South Vietnamese troops went up in smoke.

If it were not for the fact that the government forces in latter-day Afghanistan would probably have knelt faster, South Vietnam would definitely have been mentioned as the poster child for instantaneous kills all the time.

Accident is also not at all surprising, the primary buyer economy exists in the country, the army pulls crotch is the norm. The economic ties between South Vietnam and France were also very rudimentary dependencies. The large landowners and buyers dependent on the colonial power were committed to exporting raw materials to the suzerain state while taking over the dumping of its goods.

British Malaya, if he had not lobbied London, and then personally came over to do commissioner practice, even if the level of British exploitation is higher than the French, but also can not be engaged, will not be much stronger than South Vietnam.

Now the French power is about to recede, he this time again personally come over to help operate the retreat, the same is also to through the Chinese merchants and local Chinese buying gangs to establish a rapport, and then by virtue of British Malaya’s geographical location, from the market of South Vietnam a share of the pie.

It was rare for a colonial commissioner to work as hard as he did from the beginning of the colonial era.

The official residence of Emperor Bao Dai, a glance is very Roman, France has long colonized Vietnam, this presidential palace is naturally European style. Originally, it was the residence of the French Governor General, but later it was given to Emperor Bao Dai as his official residence.

The official residence covers an area of 120,000 square meters, three-story building, with two side buildings and a basement, the original Bao Dai Di, now the Lord of South Vietnam lives here.

Alan Wilson does not deny that he himself likes to get on good terms with the representatives of these backward powers and is keen to help these people, such as Ali Khan, who found the meaning of life in Malaya.

South Vietnam didn’t look so bad if you just looked at Saigon, but it was in Malaya that Allen Wilson, who had nothing to mull over the French, didn’t realize until he could see the real South Vietnam as soon as he got out of downtown Saigon.

In the countryside, the French colonial government aggressively exempted large landowners from poll taxes and private land taxes, and offered economic incentives such as low-interest loans, thereby fostering a powerful class of bureaucratic landowners dependent on the French colonial order.

France called usury imperialism, naturally, also reflected in the colonies, the French usurious capital also cooperated with the large landowners in South Vietnam to issue usurious loans to farmers, the landowners obtained low-interest loans from the Bank of Oriental Exchange in France at an annual interest rate of 30 percent to the farmers, further causing the bankruptcy of the farmers. The high degree of land concentration not only brought about the heavy oppression of servitude, but also produced a huge number of landless people.

Like a bought-and-paid-for regime facing the socialist forces of the same race, it was only a matter of time before the hammer was blown off. South Korea also had to thank Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship, and speaking of this military dictatorship, it was coincidental that the person who hosted him for a visit to the residence of Emperor Pao Ta-hee was called Oh Ting-yan, who had once been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Emperor Pao Ta-hee and had now been appointed as the Prime Minister.

Ngo Dinh Yen was gracious to Allen Wilson’s arrival, and likewise Allen Wilson knew that once the French left, Ngo Dinh Yen would depose the Bao Dai Emperor, who had been propped up by the French entry, and rule Vietnam himself.

“I heard that Mr. Ngo has been to the United States?” Allen Wilson knew of Ngo Dinh Yen’s experience of traveling to the United States, and directly switched to English conversation, “Catholics are not rare in Vietnam, but it could be a boost for you.”

“I have also just returned and have gained His Majesty’s trust. God is with us ……,” Ngo Dinh Yen was very polite, not like a military strongman at all.

The identity of a Catholic helped Wu Tingyan to be like a fish out of water in the United States, and successively gained the appreciation and support of American politicians such as John F. Kennedy, Mike Mansfield, and Williams Douglas.

But he did not know that the Englishman in front of him is not cold to God or something, the thought of God always think of Stalin’s several divisions of the famous words, and the South Vietnamese Catholics just over five percent, certainly less than ten percent, absolutely a minority. Although the absolute minority is conducive to the political stability of the small circle, it is a disadvantage to the enemy.

When you think about Wu Dinh Yen’s basic disk, it is similar to the big two rivers Governor Chang Gong, Allen Wilson also remembered, as if Wu Dinh Yen later met Chang Gong, do not know if there is no exchange of experience in the field of logistics.

Not a moment, Wu Tingyan brought his party to the residence of the Bao Da Di, Allen Wilson look at Wu Tingyan’s familiarity with this official residence, the heart understands that, once the French left, the Bao Da Di’s good days are numbered.

Ngo Dinh Yen’s prime minister is very busy, busy with the same thing as the recent Allen Wilson’s concern, is the North Vietnam has appeared to flee the tide, of course, Ngo Dinh Yen is mainly concerned about, North Vietnam fled over to the Catholics, the Ngo family before Ngo Dinh Yen’s fortune has always been to agriculture, not much savings, Ngo group of Catholic background makes it not the traditional power elite and the Confucianism and literati welcome.

The core of the Ngo Clan consisted of only six brothers, Ngo Dinh Kuei, Ngo Dinh Bien, Ngo Dinh Yen, Ngo Dinh Ru, Ngo Dinh Chon, and Ngo Dinh Lian, and for a Ngo Dinh Yen with aspirations of obtaining the dominance of a country, there was really no one under him, and it just so happened that there was a wave of desertion in North Vietnam at the moment, and he, as the Prime Minister, was doing his utmost to get the Catholicism of the North to come to South Vietnam to add to his base.

“Your Honorable Majesty, I have taken the liberty of interrupting.” Alan Wilson had the appearance of an angel descending after seeing Emperor Bao Da. His eyes swept over Empress Nam Phuong, the woman next to Emperor Bao, and he once again felt his own innate talent as a prime minister.

“Commissioner Wilson, welcome.” Bao Da Di did not notice the move of the Cao thief in front of him, and opened his mouth to greet him in a friendly manner, if the other party was not an Englishman, he would definitely be unavailable.

Now that the situation was unstable, Emperor Paul wanted to get more and more support, no matter where this support came from. On the premise of the French leaving, the independence of South Vietnam has become settled, and the next step that Bao Dai Di faces will be whether power can be maintained.

Twenty years ago Ngo Dinh Yen was Emperor Bao Dai’s minister of mandarins, but it was different now, and he could sense that Ngo Dinh Yen seemed to be satisfied with more than just a prime minister’s position, and wanted more.

This was part of Alan Wilson’s purpose, if the Pao Daei had enough wealth, Alan Wilson did not hide his thoughts, he could definitely treat this Pao Daei like he treated Ali Khan.

“If I were your majesty, the first thing on the list of things to do right now would definitely be to transfer the property.” Alan Wilson took the tea handed over by the servant of the official residence and took a sip without seeing the outside world, asking more than once if the woman next to him was Empress Nan Fang.

Of course this is just an episode, Empress Nam Phuong and Vivien Lei are the same age, the Imperial Commissioner talked about business, the heart of the Cao thieves is fading, indicating that this time he came to South Vietnam, he has seen the real situation during the time of the imminent withdrawal of France.

“It’s not the first time I’ve seen this thing.” Alan Wilson mentioned having worked in British India.

Not that he felt honored enough to repeat it to anyone he met, he was giving a reminder to Paul the Great that he should take precautions through the annexation of Ali Khan’s Hyderabad Tuktuk.

“This is so surprising. Mr. Wilson, I was not really expecting it;” said Paul the Great, with surprise on his plain coming, “and in what position are you doing this?”

“Honor and position; I am on good terms with many royal families, such as Princess Badia of the Iraqi royal family, King Farouk I of Egypt, and Maharaja Ali Khan of Hyderabad. I am convinced that these royal families are not enemies of Britain. Sooner or later, if Vietnam is run by Britain, His Majesty will feel that I am better suited to the position of Prime Minister than Mr. Wu.”

“This reminds me of an ancient man called Su Qin!” Having once served as Emperor of Vietnam, Emperor Bao knew something of the history of Vietnam against the breathless power to the north.

“Hanging the seal of the Six Kingdoms? It’s actually close enough, Princess Badia really did build a seal specifically to give to me for my collection.” Allen Wilson snorted while stating that he wasn’t joking.

He was very much hoping that Pao Da Di would go to Malaya to strengthen the reactionary forces a bit, preferably in bringing along eighteen million dollars in assets. He remembered that Paul the Great’s assets were confiscated after a round of confiscation, so he should be very rich now.

For the information he knew, such as Wu Tingyan being favored by the United States and dish out, leaving the rest to the judgment of Emperor Pao himself, Allen Wilson concluded with the assurance, “There is no need for me to swindle you. Your Majesty can use the time while France is still around to inquire about my relationship with the royal families of Egypt and Iraq in the name of a country’s leader, and then liaise with Maharajah Ali Khan. See if I can be trusted.”

Emperor Paul was silent for a long time, and spoke up with great sincerity to thank him, “Commissioner Wilson, I will definitely consider your suggestion carefully, a person will have doubts, and it may take a little time.”

“No problem, I’m just doing my duty.” Alan Wilson nodded his head, then nodded his head at the Empress and spoke, “Today I want to visit the royal family’s customs, this request is not too much, right?”

In the evening, Allen Wilson left Pao Da Di’s official residence, Fei Wen Li was obviously exhausted this day, and fell asleep against his shoulder while riding in the car, Allen Wilson also asked the two of them, Xia Meng and Yachigusa Kaoru, if there were any other places they wanted to go.

A week later, Bao Da Di met with this colonial commissioner who hung the seal of the six countries again, and after Allen Wilson’s matchmaking, Bao Da Di’s property began to be transferred to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

“Your Majesty can rest assured that I have contacted the Royal Navy and am willing to help Your Majesty transport something that may not be of much value, but is of historical significance.” It wasn’t the first time Alan Wilson had done this, was it possible that an emperor, was not more honorable than the monarch of a Turkish state?
