Chapter 849: Indonesia is the top priority
It must be said that Sukarno still has the courage to take aim at the so-called white old world.
Few countries would claim so, and if the world were simply divided into white and non-white worlds, the white world would be overwhelmingly superior in every way, even in terms of population.
I wonder if it ever occurred to Sukarno, when he said that, that the Soviet Union was also in the midst of the so-called white world.
To be able to fire such a big gun is something that no ordinary country can do, but when I think about it, Indonesia has even withdrawn from the UN. Alan Wilson also did not say anything about such remarks.
“Commissioner, the Chinese and Indian reports are here again.” Alisa took out the statements of the participating countries after the Bandung Conference.
There were only a few countries that could be described as not being on the same side of the Bandung Conference, Egypt’s Farouk I was clearly not on the same side of the road even though he had the Egyptian representative present, as for the others, what with the Philippines, Japan, Jordan, and Iraq, each had their own supporters behind them.
These countries certainly have no tendency to take the Bandung Conference as a general international conference. Facilitate the cooperation of various countries platform, really the Bandung Conference to elevate the significance of, China, North Vietnam, India and Indonesia.
North Vietnam has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, how to take a position is not important, but several other countries to take a position is very important.
China, India and Indonesia are not small countries, Indonesia is already considered the weakest among them, but still can make Australia sleepless.
Australia is not the only one that has trouble sleeping, the United Kingdom, which is occupying the Malayan colonies, is not blind to the potential threat, who let Sukarno claim that he wants to establish a large Indonesia.
“These are all countries that could potentially pose a threat to us, and one is in the Soviet camp itself, and the other two have that tendency.” Richard gave his own assessment as his top man looked over the documents.
“That is indeed a possibility.” Alan Wilson said to himself that it could not be that simple, but considered the British position and endorsed Richard’s analysis, which was the official opinion of the colonial government of Malaya.
For the sake of the long term stability of British Malaya, it was better for Indonesia to side with the Soviet camp. The free world might suffer some losses, but Britain earned it just fine.
If the Malacca Straits were calm, what reason would Britain have to continue to hoard heavy troops here? It’s easy to withdraw something like a colony, but it’s difficult in getting it back.
“China and India’s stance is quite official.” Alan Wilson put down the file and said, “It’s not like Sukarno is so dispositional.”
“These two countries aren’t as arrogant as Indonesia.” Alyssa spoke up with a sniff, “Or maybe they’re not speaking from the heart.”
“Hey, that’s for sure, I know something about both countries, there’s a very wishful and wonderful dream amongst their countries that Europe only briefly dominated the world after a round of the industrial revolution, their countries have never been ahead of the world for long periods of time, hundreds or thousands of years.”
Alan Wilson’s face was certain, but he had worked in British India, as for the latter days of history textbooks have also read, how many years ahead of the same period of Europe is everywhere.
“No way.” Richard, unlike Alisa, didn’t really know much about similar ideas.
Alisa laughed but didn’t say anything as Alan Wilson explained, “It’s true, India is acting a little more blatant. China has a tighter blockade and the general public may not understand it. I just don’t know who is the one leading the ancient civilization when a Chinese and an Indian come across each other. It’s a good thing Europe has strangled the great powers of the pacifist world, or it would be hilarious.”
“It’s almost too poor to eat, and you’re thinking quite a bit.” Richard laughed contemptuously, scoffing at the idea.
“A means to increase national cohesion, nothing wrong with that.” Alan Wilson was rather blasé, sooner or later, he would pass the stage of finding pride in history.
Twenty-first-century China has stopped mentioning the budding capitalism that never existed, and many of the thick-headed claims have begun to be corrected in textbooks.
But India is clearly not past this stage, and is still in the dream that Indian civilization is the source of mankind.
Another difference is that China’s Internet is closed, and it’s not easy for bullshit to get out. Indian netizens’ comments can easily spread all over the world and become a source of happiness in the eyes of netizens from all countries.
A too-open internet environment is not good either, and the fact that the Oil Pipe Pentagon has been able to make a name for itself in the internet world stems from the fact that the glorification of its own country’s history and the same glorification of the history of other countries have crashed together.
“Increase national cohesion? I wonder if the Greeks would have wanted to take the math knowledge of Ancient Greece and apply it successfully just two thousand years ago, causing an industrial revolution and then conquering the world.” Alisa also joined the discussion.
Hearing this kind of brainchild that could be published in the starting point, Alan Wilson thought for a moment and replied along this line of thought, “Greece’s volume is still a bit small. Should rack up the Roman Empire Industrial Revolution to conquer the world, the bad thing is that, in the middle of this world, Britain should be regarded as the first batch to eat the iron fist of the Roman Empire.”
Clapping his hands to end the brainstorming discussion, this kind of speculation has nothing to do with the current interests of Britain. The discussion should also return to the main topic, Allen Wilson said with a gloomy face, “Without a result in the matter of Indonesia, even if it is to leave office, I will not be relieved.”
Richard and Alisha both couldn’t help but nod their heads, only the two subordinates who were worried that India and Indonesia were going to throw in their lot with the communists didn’t know. What the top boss was worried about was that Indonesia could never fail to vote for communism.
Depends on, unlike the original historical time and space, the Netherlands in this world, when evacuating Indonesia, directly took away the island of Kalimantan and half of New Guinea, resulting in Indonesia’s area of two million square kilometers, all of a sudden shrunk by a small half.
After a British and Dutch Kalimantan Island Governor’s adjustment, seven hundred and forty thousand square kilometers of Kalimantan Island, became Britain occupies one-third, the Netherlands took two-thirds. New Guinea, with its seven hundred and eighty thousand square kilometers, is occupied by the Netherlands with three hundred and twenty thousand square kilometers.
Before the adjustment of Kalimantan, the Dutch territories had five hundred and fifty thousand square kilometers, which now became five hundred thousand square kilometers. Together with the three hundred and twenty thousand square kilometers of Dutch New Guinea. Indonesia, which had two million square kilometers, managed to slim down to less than one million two hundred thousand square kilometers.
Because of this, Sukarno hated Holland very much, as well as Britain, which had contributed to the process.
Alan Wilson understood Sukarno’s anger, no one can be calm when 40 percent of their country is divided up, not forgetting that Indonesia’s Greater Indonesia included British Malaya.
The territory of Indonesia according to the Great Indonesianists, plus the Malayan colonies, should be two million four hundred thousand, now Indonesia is only half, the rest half is occupied by the imperialists.
With this premise, evolved to the present day, Greater Indonesianism is certainly more elevated than in the original history. Within Indonesia, which has lost half of its land, whoever does not reclaim this land that has been maliciously divided by the imperialists is a traitor.
The original Sukarno was already very hostile to Europe and America, and this world has taken it to the next level.
Alan Wilson actually could have had a defensive strategy, just pretend to be invisible to Jakarta’s anger.
But the thought of the CIA’s pinnacle during the Cold War, decimating the nearly three million member Indonesian Communist Party?
This masterstroke, really can not be reassuring, if the United States made this thing, so that Indonesia from defecting to the Communist Party on the way to the brakes, Britain still have any reason to stay in the Strait of Malacca, this golden waterway side? Then the Imperial Army did not come here for nothing?
It’s hard to pull Malaya’s economy up, just waiting to get back to the top. As a result, you have to get lost after investing so much?
The existence of the British Malayan colony needed an enemy that had some strength but not too strong, and Indonesia, which was now left with a million and two hundred thousand square kilometers of land but was in the midst of a blockade by the military forces of Great Britain, Holland, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand, was very suitable.
Neither too strong nor too weak would do, and the colonial government of Malaya had already decided that it would be Indonesia that would be that enemy.
“The first priority in safeguarding Britain’s interests lies in putting Indonesia, the enemy of the free world, in its place. It will be of great benefit not only to us but to Australia.” Alan Wilson said in a deep voice, “We need to have an advocate amongst the Indonesian Communist Party. Go through the top list of the Indonesian Communist Party one by one and find out who we need.”
“We’ll try.” Alisa nodded as she listened, “It may not be easy.”
“A party of several million people can’t be infallible in every way.” Alan Wilson knew that don’t look at all of them as communist, this communist is not the same as the other communist, the one that fought from the fire of war and the one that didn’t go through the fire of war can be completely different.
Richard and Alisa both nodded, Alan Wilson continued to remind, “the interests of the United Kingdom, to anyone to keep secret, in this matter there is no ally. We’re operating this independently.”
The CIA staged the Indonesian military, and Alan Wilson would certainly do the same, but only if he was doubly prepared.
“Speaking of allies, the U.S. Military Advisory Group is officially in Saigon.” Alyssa kept in touch with the top man while Allen Wilson was off to Sudan, “The Bao Dai family is ready to settle in Malaya, would the commissioner like to meet them. Also the new Commander of the Far East Joint Warfare Command, Lieutenant General Sconce has arrived.”
“I will, but there’s no need to rush too much just yet.” Alan Wilson spoke, “Alisa, you personally pay attention to the Indonesian Communist Party. Report back to me individually once there are results.”
Bao Da Di could increase the reactionary forces in Malaya, and the arrival of the new commander of the British Army in Malaysia was also a big deal, but none of them were as important as Indonesia, which was the foundation for the long term stability of the Malayan colony.
