Chapter 806 The Confident Commissioner
Even if the real history, the United States eventually spit out the wind willing to transfer nuclear reactor technology, but also Mountbatten talked down, but the time to the sixties, the United Kingdom only got what they wanted, and that time even France has attacked all the obstacles to nuclear reactors.
To know the post-war gap between Britain and France is actually very large, France is busy everywhere to suppress the colonial resistance, a lot of energy in these military operations, simply do not have the conditions of the United Kingdom, but ultimately succeeded in the successful development of nuclear submarines.
Technically speaking, the nuclear reactor should not be difficult for the United Kingdom, there is this technical base, and the United States should not be difficult to negotiate, but the original history of the United Kingdom has encountered problems.
To summarize the reasons, Alan Wilson will be two history as a comparison, the original history of the United Kingdom almost fast by the U.S. debt hostage pants, resulting in the post-war and U.S. maneuvering among the hands and feet, in the want to turn the other cheek but also do not dare to the embarrassing situation.
At the same time, the United States of America on the one hand, the special relationship between Britain and the United States of America, debt and aid as bait, so that Britain can not turn the other cheek.
In the whole process, in fact, after the war, Britain and the world in the same, continue to sell the imperial heritage to the United States, to get the United States of America’s assistance and technical support, every time the United States to help the face of the emergence of the United States is bound to be the United Kingdom sold the interests of the British Empire as a trade-off, until the final disintegration of the British Empire.
And now, the big difference is that by making a killing in British India, backed up by cheap mineral resources in Australia, supplemented by labor workers in British Malaya, and using the entire remaining sterling area as a market, Britain broke free of the huge debt brought about by the World War.
When the debt problem no longer existed, Britain had much more confidence when negotiating with the United States. Some of the weights would also not be as underutilized as they were in the original history, such as the entry of Federal Germany into NATO.
Germany was, after all, the source of the world wars, and not just once, Germany started two world wars. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was also established under the banner of carrying the Soviet Union externally and defending Germany internally.
Only a few years to absorb the Federal Republic of Germany to be a full member of NATO, the United States is so appealing, but Britain and France are able to bargain for the United States to take out some benefits.
From his father-in-law’s telegram, Alan Wilson could see that Mountbatten must have used the matter to bargain, not to say that it was the whole reason, but at least part of it.
In two different histories, on the face of it as the tenth year after the end of the Second World War came and went, Britain seemed no different.
Both had lost British India all the same, and the size of the vast Royal Navy was shrinking.
But the kernel had been completely different, and Alan Wilson was confident that Britain would end up coming out of it differently than it had in history.
Nuclear submarines are progressing well enough, as for what all-nuclear fleet, Britain is supposed to be a global navy, even without nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, naval bases all over the world can keep the Royal Navy’s combat power.
The meeting at the beginning of the year was going to set the tone for the whole year to come, and the agricultural document had already been made known to all walks of life in the colonies through the major newspapers, and the heat of discussion was rising.
West Malaysian Commissioner Alisa and East Malaysian Commissioner Edel, on the other hand, took out the demographic data and brought together the population statistics of each state as well as the special municipalities to discuss the population issues of the colony with Allen Wilson.
The two main blocks of the British Malaya colony, respectively, are the Malay Peninsula and part of the island of Kalimantan, commonly known as West and East Malaysia, Alisa and Ender seem to be equal, but in fact, eighty percent of the colony’s population is in the Malay Peninsula, and Alisa has a lot more to do than Ender.
But East Malaysia was the hardest hit area facing Indonesian infiltration, and Ender’s good relationship with the local British garrison was sort of a reflection of his own importance in another way.
“Nine and a half million in West Malaysia, two and a quarter million in East Malaysia, and twelve million in the colonies this round. Definitely in places where statistics are not available, but similar. More than two million newborns born compared to before. Pretty swift numbers, and it hasn’t been more than a couple years in total.” Ender took the statistics of the states and special cities and reported, “The proportion of Chinese and Malays remains roughly the same.”
“The population of the colonies is growing fast!” Alisa inquired after listening, “I wonder if there are any domestic figures for comparison.”
“In nineteen forty-six the population count was forty-eight and a half million, last year’s figure was fifty-one million. The demographics of the Greater London Borough are slowly declining, the resident population is decreasing.” Alan Wilson knew this mutual figure and told the two men directly.
“Look at it this way, the population of the Malayan colony is growing too fast. With a base of less than ten million, it’s the same addition as the mainland.” Ender sucked in a breath of cold air, “Should we do something about it?”
After the World War, there was a baby boom in every country, North America’s fertility rate climbed to three and a half, Japan had a million and a half babies born every year, and of course there was a baby boom in Europe, just not as dramatic as in North America.
The UK doesn’t look like it’s experiencing much population growth, purely because of the wave of immigration that has occurred, with many choosing to emigrate to other white English-speaking countries, so it doesn’t look significant. If you really want to compare, British Malaya should be compared to Australia, which has the same population base.
Right now Australia’s population is still over nine million, still a figure that has taken in a lot of British immigrants. The Malayan colony, also close to ten million, is now twelve million.
And this wave of population growth is certainly not over, how old are men and women of childbearing age? With at least ten more years of golden age, it was inevitable that the colony’s population would increase.
Two subordinates worry, Alan Wilson to very optimistic, “It’s okay, although the fertility rate is high, but the base is here, it’s not so much to worry about, the population of the mainland is four times that of the colony, Malaya will not be able to catch up in a few decades.”
“That’s hard to say!” Alisa didn’t think things were promising, “A person can get married at eighteen or nineteen, and by the time the current children grow up, it’s really only ten years from now.”
“That’s based on a consistently high growth rate.” Alan Wilson chuckled, “It won’t be that easy, the next generation will definitely think differently from the current generation. Such a growth rate is not sustainable, you think it’s India?”
In fact India’s fertility rate has also decreased very much in the twenty-first century, of course this is where the Indian government can manage, as for the black households that can’t be managed, then there is no way to count them.
It doesn’t have to be an administrative order to suppress the population, there are many ways that work better than an administrative order and can have the same effect.
When the Japanese economy was high, how rampant Japanese women, this fist twenty years of power, can be more powerful than the same period of the European and American boxers, the final bubble explosion is not still kneeling.
However, a few of the methods in the mind, not necessarily in Malaya works, the idea of moving boxers, but he is promoting conservatization in the Malayan colony.
The idea of moving the real estate economy also does not work, the Malayan colony of five hundred thousand square kilometers, the population of twelve million, even if it is now increasing the inculcation of this generation of parents to buy a house for their children is also useless, how to engage in real estate in a square kilometer of twenty people?
However, there are still ways to start from education is a good way, modern Chinese are convinced that backwardness will be beaten.
Not boxing not play real estate, from the cost of education to cut leeks, absolutely let the Chinese accept, in this point the Chinese are absolutely willing to spend money.
And Britain can still do this, Britain’s education is not as good as the United States is a given, in a colony to make waves is still possible.
“But by that time I should not be commissioner, how to cut these thriving wheat is up to you.” Allen Wilson had a very favorable look at you guys, full of longing, “In fact, we should all be grateful to the Malayan colony for solving the problem of thirty thousand civil servants’ lives. Otherwise, when British India became independent, we would have been unemployed.”
Raising the cost of education is only a means to an end, the key lies in whether the distribution is fair, the reason for the baby boom in the countries after the war, Alan Wilson believes that a major reason, is to participate in the war Germany lost a lot of money, except for the United States of America’s participation in the war countries are all in shambles.
For the countries that have lost almost everything, the vast majority of people empty-handed, the equivalent of proletarians just lost the shackles, this environment, a pocket than the face clean men and women will not pick each other, naturally, there is not much ground for boxing.
The United States, on the other hand, has had more war chests, and there are huge pockets of wealth before the baby boom occurs.
With the re-accumulation of wealth, inequality will slowly accumulate, slowly there will be boxing, real estate, education endless means to sharpen their knives against the leeks.
As long as the exploitation is ruthless enough, no leek is a leaky fish, Allen Wilson can remember that the later generations of the Ming and Qing dynasties have done statistics on the genealogy, one-third of the members of the genealogy is ultimately extinct. As long as the oppression is hard enough, it is impossible for the population not to decrease.
Even the caste system of India can prove this, the caste system was established, the untouchables must be far more than the number of today, but after a few thousand years, the untouchables are only less than one-fifth of the entire population, so the caste system was forced to inwardly rolled, the shudra became the de facto bottom.
With the historical knowledge of two ancient civilizations, Alan Wilson does not think that the problem of colonial population expansion is unsolvable.
Only now the leek is not lush, not pour hands.
Seeing the top boss so ordinary and confident, Alisa and Ender couldn’t say anything.
“The task now is to use all possibilities to advance the high speed development, and when the time comes you will know. I am not blindly optimistic.”
Alan Wilson opened his mouth to comfort and lifted his watch to take a look, tapping his wrist with his finger, “Look, it’s time to get off work. We have to strictly observe the off-duty hours, but Prime Minister Adderley is calling for a socialist community of Great Britain.”
