Chapter 851: Military Sales Negotiated

This exchange with the military chief is still very rewarding, civil servants and the military can achieve harmony, it is very important to maintain the stability of the colony, wait for a period of time Sconce Lieutenant General will be familiar with the garrison in the detailed discussion.

Leaving the Singapore Command, Alan Wilson began to fulfill the duties of the commissioner to inspect some of the operating factories.

Currently, the Malayan colony was in the middle of primary industrialization, so if he wanted to conduct inspections, he could line up from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

However, visiting the instant noodle factory was still a surprise to Tian Qianqiu, not expecting the Malayan Emperor of the Land to come over.

“It looks pretty good, this kind of thing is easy to make. And it suits Asian tastes well.” Alan Wilson unwrapped a packet of instant noodles and was still quite satisfied with the plastic packaging on it, “However, this packaging is more important than the food industry, it involves the chemical industry, you know?”

“Lord Lieutenant, today’s achievements are all due to the government’s support.” Tian Qianqiu immediately spoke reliable words after hearing this.

“And don’t be too modest. Currently within Asia, you are the only ones that Britain can rely on. And it’s a win-win, you guys succeed, the Newfoundland Foundation that invested in you, and the local capital will also benefit. But your potential rival, Japan, is not very easy to handle. I don’t know how many favorable conditions I can fight for, even though I’ve thought of many ways.”

Alan Wilson said this, took out the noodle cake and crunched and chewed it, the flavor was not bad. But then again, something like instant noodles, how bad could it be.

Tian Qianqiu, of course, has heard that Allen Wilson hopes that the big buyers of British Malaya and British capital amalgamation will be able to take advantage of the presence of Chinese in all Southeast Asian countries to form a siphon effect. In that case, the market that radiates Southeast Asia will not be small for Britain.

Retention of the core through industrial advantages, with the guise of free trade to the neighboring market dumping. It is not really necessarily smaller than the harvest of direct colonization, but there is a prerequisite, the Malayan colony should still be retained.

More than 200 million people is the market, for the British Malaya colony has been considered enough, also do not have to look like British India has an additional burden, so the Malayan colony of Asia lighthouse sign, must be set up.

“Japan?” Tian Qianqiu heard the name of this country frowned slightly, he is a post-war Malayan immigrant, in addition to living here, all thinking is China.

“Don’t make a fuss, China and Japan have both signed a trade agreement. It was signed in Xiangjiang last year. It’s certainly your right to hate Japan, but this is a time of peace, and war tactics can’t be used. Commercial competition can still be thought of.” Alan Wilson swallowed the chewed instant noodles in his mouth and still did not show the slightest optimism, “The enemy is strong, the British capital will support you, but you also need to work harder before you can do so, Japan is also supported by the United States.”

In the field of diligence, the Chinese are naturally no problem, but it does not mean that the Japanese social animal is low.

A long time after the war, the Japanese people’s annual working hours in more than two thousand four hundred hours, to the twenty-first century Japan has become a developed country for a long time, Japan still has one thousand seven hundred hours of work.

In the twenty-first century, the working hours in China, where the slogan “1996” has spread throughout the country, are 2,200 hours. And South Korea, at the same time, is still working around two thousand one hundred hours.

At least China, which is known for its hard work in the twenty-first century, is not working as many hours as post-war Japan. A simple comparison is that post-war Japan works more hours than 996 China, and 996 China more hours than Korea.

This is why, when Japan first started investing in open China, it thought Chinese workers were lazy. That Japan’s working hours plummeted after two thousand years is a different issue.

The population of the Malayan colonies wasn’t very large after all, and considering the ethnic balance was a problem, there was also the problem that Alan Wilson ran out of places to bring in Chinese for a short period of time.

Japan’s population was nearly 90 million, and he just made the Malayan Chinese work into a zero-zero-seven system, which didn’t work very well.

Fortunately, Japan’s natural conditions were not as good as the Malayan colonies, and externally the Malayan colonies still had the upper hand.

The problem is simple, if Malaya food self-sufficiency rate is two hundred percent do not have to import, Japan only fifty percent. Does Japan need labor for its fifty percent shortfall?

Is Japan just short of food? There is no iron ore in a major steel-making country, and there is no oil in a major automobile country. The latter Malaya has, the former can be figured out through the imperial preferential system, Australia’s iron ore is homegrown.

Japan is a country that lacks in so many ways, every aspect of the country needs labor for a change, in other words it is also not hardworking.

It’s true that a large landmass can create a buffer zone out of thin air. Before WWI both the US and Germany surpassed the UK in the industrial field, but both countries were clearly not as comfortable as the British.

The underlying reason for this was that Britain had huge colonies to pocket, allowing Britain to face two countries that had already surpassed them industrially and still live a far less comfortable life.

Allen Wilson still gave encouragement to the Tada buyers that America could open its markets to help Japan. He could do more than just open the market, he could help the Malayan colonies find cheap resources within the imperial preferential system.

What was expected was that was to get the Malayan colonies, which were industrialized, to help solidify the Sterling area.

October 1, 1955 was a joyous day everywhere as countless people flooded the streets chanting Long Live the Motherland. Huge banners and surging crowds became a sea of joy as the streets were decorated with lights to celebrate this special day.

This scene on the streets of Jakarta appeared on the desk of the Executive Office a day later, Alisa looked at the top man in front of her, her eyes wandering between the photo on the desk and the top man’s face, “Commissioner ……”

“You forgot, I know Chinese characters.” Alan Wilson sighed in his mind as he looked at the background of the photo of Long Live the Motherland. It was hard to imagine that Indonesia and China in this era had this kind of relationship.

At the thought of how Indonesia was viewed on the internet in the latter days, this simply had a feeling of time and space dislocation. The latter-day view of Indonesia was so close to eating its flesh and bones that the transformation was the beginning of the CIA’s culmination of the Cold War.

Of course he knew where the roots lay, in the land beneath his feet, the colony of British Malaya.

In Sukarno’s heart, as well as in the hearts of Indonesians, it had always been firmly held that the best place for this British colony to go would be to be annexed to Indonesia, to return to the great empire of the Manchurian Boeing, and it was now clear that the Malayan colony was a continuation of what was left of colonialism in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia, Sukarno in this era is just like the mentor and flag bearer of the Asian and African national independence movement, the existence of the Malayan colony is to trample on Indonesia and Sukarno himself, it is no wonder that the reaction of the Indonesians will be surprisingly strong.

“It seems that Sukarno is more in favor of the Eastern Bloc?” Seeing her top boss’ silence, Alisa exited to test the waters.

“The price for bringing Indonesia back to the free world is that we leave and give the Malayan colony to Sukarno. Are you willing to do that?”

Alan Wilson once again reverted to an indifferent expression and said sorrowfully, “I would rather Indonesia follow the Soviet Union than ever give up this colony. Why do all these independent so-called national leaders take it for granted that they will be able to inherit all the land of the sovereign state? Besides go find the Dutch.”

“It could be that the standard of living in the Malayan colony is already known to Indonesia.” Alisa mused, “In that perspective, of course they would want to receive a wealthy region.”

“The Indonesians are probably dreaming.” Alan Wilson smiled coldly and thought for a moment, “It’s important to find out what the United States thinks, have MI6 in London communicate with the United States and learn exactly what the United States thinks about Indonesia.”

Alisa nodded and walked out of the office, while Alan Wilson thought about the favorable time node, it is best to be able to finalize the matter of Indonesia within his term of office, and at the latest not to exceed the official outbreak of the Vietnam War time. This time period was the most favorable.

Once the U.S. military formally intervened in the Vietnam War, looking at the suspected communist Sukarno mortar and pestle in Indonesia, will certainly be unable to resist the idea of wanting to launch a military coup. As for now, he should not have made up his mind yet.

In other words, the best time must be before 1960, once the official confrontation between North and South Vietnam begins. The United States is at a time when a coup is possible at any time, and it does not have to wait until the original history of nineteen-sixty-five, the Gulf of Tonkin incident was nineteen-sixty-four, only that nineteen-sixty-five happened to allow the United States to find an opportunity to intervene.

Now at this time, only four hundred or so American military advisors existed in South Vietnam, and currently the United States was still confident that it could use the experience of armed training of the South Korean army to allow South Vietnam to withstand the expansion of pro-Soviet forces.

Lieutenant General Sconce, who had arrived during this time, had already familiarized himself with the work of the British Army in Malaysia and had begun to shoulder the duties of military chief. Allen Wilson was informed via telegram that a parade was being held and whether he would attend.

Allen Wilson asked about the time, and then said that of course he would be willing to add, and would also like to invite the Sultans of the Malayan colonies to participate, but also added the Paul the Great to the list of participants.

Here in the Malayan Colony, a great coalition of reactionary forces was being prepared, when a telegram from Canberra attracted Allen Wilson’s attention, and the present arms sale had been negotiated.

Frank stopped in Kuala Lumpur for a day on his way home and the two men talked specifically about it, “The cost of the new aircraft carriers and the conversion of the Glory class carriers, totaling ninety-three million pounds. I’m sure that will satisfy the Cabinet and the Admiralty.”

“That’s wonderful, the Australian government is so rich.” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but sigh, but the underlying reason for the money was that the Australian iron ore mines were contributing many years in advance.
