Chapter 855 The Upper Route
There were dozens of sultans in the entire East Indies alone who fell at the hands of the Dutch. Until Indonesia’s independence, there were still quite a few sultanates in the Dutch East Indies, and now there was only one left in the whole of Indonesia.
Had Sukarno been ruling Indonesia instead of being killed off halfway by the CIA, it’s a hard thing to say how long this one remaining sultanate would have been around.
The nine sultans of the Malayan colony, on the other hand, were preserved similarly to the Dutch East Indies.
British colonial policy was much the same as that of the Netherlands, but there were still differences. The commercial character of the Netherlands, which was stronger in the colonial era than in all the European colonial empires, was characterized by a strong monopoly and a weak empire.
Are plantations, but plantations and plantations are not the same, the Netherlands because of the local power is not big, in the borrowed power on the cattle than the United Kingdom ever, pay special attention to the policy of division, the Americas abolition of slavery among the trend, the Dutch slavery is also the most firm, has been maintained until the late nineteenth century.
After the abolition of slavery, the Dutch introduced laborers and was the most efficient, resulting in a large influx of Indians, Indonesians and Chinese.
And in Indonesia, the Dutch, like the British, introduced Chinese to check the Indonesians, which led to the Dutch East India being the most Chinese in Southeast Asia, although Indonesia itself was densely populated, and the Chinese were still a tiny minority in the overall scheme of things.
Unlike the Malayan colonies, the British could easily break the Malays into a minority once they opened their mouths.
Malaya and Indonesia were in a cultural zone, and now the sultans of Indonesia are the only ones left standing. And the nine sultans of the Malayan colony are all well and good, with two more. This comparison has been high and low.
“Honorable sultans, we are in partnership, and this era has long since stopped measuring wealth by the amount of land. You work with the British, as well as the Chinese in their own ways, to run the Malayan colony as a successful enterprise. Everyone is perfectly capable of sitting down and negotiating.” Alan Wilson did not hide his desire to make a bigger cake, “Why get hung up on any national independence, are you and the underclass one and the same? It is you and Britain that are in the same category.”
The introduction of Ali Khan to Sabah manifested itself, Ali Khan, whose country had been broken once, was now a staunchly pro-British representative, again citing his own personal experience as proof, and again stating that the expansion of wealth was the truth.
As the Maharaja of Sabah, who was no less than the financial power of Pamela Mountbatten, Ali Khan’s words were weighty. Religiously the Malays were not repulsed by Ali Khan, and because of their South Asian origins, the Congress Party, which was made up of Indians, had a natural affinity for Ali Khan.
This resulted in Ali Khan, despite being a latecomer, being very powerful among the feudal monarchs by virtue of this support and his own financial power.
In turn, Ali Khan now represented the weak link in the Malayan feudal monarchy, playing the role of pre-World War I Imperial Russia.
The money kicked into the pocket is only theirs, and with the presence of Indonesia as a foreign enemy, the choice was not really difficult.
For a while, these sultans talked, mentally to Alan Wilson’s words, resistance is not resolute.
That is resolute non-resistance, Allen Wilson did not lose time to raise the stakes, “You are in the middle of the Commonwealth’s system, no matter where you go, you are a respected monarch. In another country, that would not be so.”
There were no pledges of loyalty, no need to make a strong statement in defense of the monarch’s authority, and with the tip of a rustling nose across the document, all the major sultans signed a declaration of amicable coexistence with Britain.
“The eleven monarchs of the Council of Rulers have certain powers of supervision over the colonial government. Of course with the scarcity of management talent in Malaya itself, I’ll take the same attitude as before and use it with caution.” Alan Wilson collected the sultans’ statements, and turned his words, “However, the Conference of Rulers can be held every year, as a platform to show the authority of the monarchs, and the colonial government will respect it, honored sultans, we will work together happily in the long time to come.”
“Times are different, and you Sultans need not worry about status or security. Britain will safeguard the power of your Sultans. Maharaja Ali Khan’s own experience can best prove this.” After listening to her husband’s words, Pamela Mountbatten said helpfully, “All of you will be respected monarchs in the future, and there is only one thing to think about right now, how to join forces to bring Malaya’s economy to the next level.”
Alan Wilson nodded his head, and in front of the ten Peace Cult monarchs, he inclined his head and kissed Pamela Mountbatten’s red lips, making Sarawak’s monarchs blush all over their faces before he made his concluding remarks, “The big idea will be for Pamela to talk to you guys, and I hope that all the honored monarchs will be present at the military parade three days from now, and on the matter of Indonesia’s long term covertly destroying Malaya’s economic development, I hope that the Malayan community to give a response to the Jakarta government.”
After saying this and nodding with his still somewhat embarrassed wife, he left the conference room.
“Honorable Sultans, that’s just how he is, actually a very gentle man, he just seems unsympathetic at work.”
By the time the Imperial Commissioner had left, Pamela Mountbatten was still busy placating the feudal monarchs of the Malayan colonies. Explaining the reasonableness, validity, and science of what had just been kissed.
This speech ushered in a sea of well-intentioned smiles, leading Pamela Mountbatten to go back and constantly protest, she does not want to lose face? To be kissed in front of so many people.
“Nail them and you’ve nailed half of it, the Chinese don’t make a fuss, the basic disk of resistance is much smaller.” Alan Wilson is full of confidence, “The premise is that Indonesia as an external threat has to be made real before it can be done. Otherwise it’s always unsettling.”
Alan Wilson’s character is so, anti-British elements are not a small problem, it is better to have one without. Didn’t Rockefeller say, ninety percent is not enough, I want one hundred percent.
“You’re a real worrywart.” Pamela Mountbatten sighed, “But is that enough? These sultans on our side will solve all our problems.”
Princess Margaret also looked straight at Alan Wilson, clearly interested in this issue as well.
“It can make a big difference. History has taught me that what is usually called public opinion is actually unimportant. It’s the same in any country, even the Soviet Union.”
Alan Wilson could not say how confident, but much more confident than mobilizing the bottom, “With the bottom people, just make them move without time to think about resistance. There are many ways to do it, practice slowly later, but to the top level must always keep communicating, make it clear where the boundaries of what we are allowed to do are, everything is safe within the boundaries, and kill painfully outside of the boundaries.”
“Even the Soviet Union? As if you could do anything to the Soviet Union.” Princess Margaret’s big eyes blinked, “What do you have against the Soviet Union, the governments are having headaches.”
“The key to defeating the USSR is to defeat the Soviet cadre class on a psychological level. There is no other way beyond that.” Alan Wilson said decisively, “For a long time to come, we have to use every occasion to prove to the Soviet cadre class how unreasonable it is to have so much power and only get so little. Thieving and having to worry about Lubyanka checking up on them must be a problem somewhere, and once they start thinking that way, we’ve won.”
Alan Wilson had read some of the Soviet-era corruption investigations and nearly burst into tears of laughter when he read them. You call that a thing?
After making so many connections, smuggling caviar to sell in the free world, and with so many people involved, the proceeds were just enough to buy a decent television, this kind of corruption tactic, compared to the free world, was comparable to the gap between capitalism and primitive societies.
Look at the Soviet Union always emphasize the bus corruption, nothing more than the private use of buses, which can be on the Soviet Union high-level meeting to attack, but also strongly worded to emphasize that “some cadres even in the conduct of private business when the use of public vehicles.”
Housing corruption was emphasized, “Certain cadres’ residences are too luxuriously decorated and detached from the masses.”
Medical corruption, on the other hand, states that it goes so far as to live in a single room while hospitalized, and then this is tolerated?
That’s it? Once the Soviet administrators, like the Soviet marshal at the end of the Cold War, visited the United States and found out the fact that a soldier in the United States was paid more than even he was, the whole mentality of the Soviet Union collapsed, and there was still no need to think about who would win and who would lose?
“Defeat the upper echelons of the Soviet Union and you defeat the entire Soviet Union!” Pamela Mountbatten summarized her husband’s opinion, “Won’t the people of the Soviet Union revolt?”
“I’ve only seen one and one, I’ve never seen any people.” Alan Wilson replied as he pulled out a famous quote from President Yuan, then raised his wrist, “I need to meet Emperor Paul, after all, I’m counting on him to contribute to the colony’s economy. A mosquito is still meat.”
I’m sure Emperor Paul would be envious of the major sultans of Malaya, especially in comparison to his own situation of losing the Emperor’s throne.
But it couldn’t be helped, who made his supporters France withdraw. And Goh Ting Yan eventually chose to be Chancellor Cao.
Alan Wilson, a friend of the reactionary forces, in this matter can not be helped, Paul the emperor has money, but not so rich as Ali Khan, or take out a 100 million pounds, he is still very willing to go out again, like treating Ali Khan, for Paul the emperor to London to fight for.
The price is up, who let now Britain is not like that time after the war, poor are fast when pants. For the sake of the huge debt on the body, any way will be considered, can only say that Paul the Great did not catch up with the good times.
Alan Wilson also sprinkled a pinch of salt at this time, still politely addressing Bao Da Di as Your Majesty, while saluting Empress Nan Fang, “I wonder if Your Honorable Majesty and the Empress are accustomed to living in the Malayan Colony. Regarding Your Majesty and the most beautiful Empress of the East being able to reside here, as the administrator of this place, I am still quite proud.”
He acted as if he didn’t know that Emperor Pao and the Empress of the South had separated, while greeting them in a friendly manner. Needless to say, he was eager to show off his talents as a prime minister.
