Chapter 929: My Great Britain is back again

“Not many low intensity group incidents are not a bad thing for us, as long as we know how to channel them.” Alan Wilson said with a twist, “Richard, the negotiations with General Aung San of Burma are still very satisfactory. Surviving this economic crisis, Burma’s role is as important as Nigeria’s, otherwise over time, Burma will think we can’t make it.”

“Myanmar is not having a good time and indeed needs our support as well.” Richard inquired with a note of invitation, “The Indian and Burmese coalition forces have suffered big losses in Shan State before.”

“We’re not going to ask for trouble in northern Burma.” Alan Wilson of course knows what Richard is talking about, but the British army absolutely can not go out, feel self-conscious to be able to deal with guerrilla warfare, usually gray, “give a little worthless weaponry is fine, Malaya’s garrison in the line of duty to be pensioned, really a large number of casualties who take this money?”

Crucially, this could lead to him being personally blamed, and his private advice to Aung San was to drag it out.

The Chinese are very easy to assimilate, and in later times there have been news stories of Chinese collectively taking the Burmese race as their self-recognition and naturalizing in Burma.

The best at this is Thailand, which has long considered itself part of Thailand, as evidenced by its name, even though many of its big names are of Chinese ancestry.

Doing trade with Burma is what the Malayan colony should be doing at the moment, and trying to expand the reach of the wife’s group of grain merchants, if possible from the safety of Burma.

Alan Wilson knows that as a former colonizer Britain is certainly not trusted by Burma, and Burma likewise distrusts its two big neighbors next door, China and India, but distrust is one thing, reality is another.

Burma really have a good feeling of the country, in fact, is Japan, but it, from the post-war to now has been more than ten years, Alan Wilson although it is impossible to remember all the development of Japan’s development of the past life, but still able to feel that Japan’s development is not as good as the one he remembers that Japan.

Burma wanted to wait until Japan re-emerged and brought funds to help Burma, this kind of thing didn’t even occur in the last life, and it is even more unlikely to occur in this life, Japan is still more practical to manage itself and get rid of the economic crisis as soon as possible.

“You personally handle the East Africa office. Follow what I said, and pay attention to guiding public opinion.” Alan Wilson looked at the head of the Executive Bureau, “Don’t let your colleagues think you’re unreliable. After we finish this matter, we are discussing more important matters.”

“I know.” Instead of being frustrated, Richard was somewhat jubilant, stating that he would be reliable.

“Killing is the easiest, it’s a colony anyway, if we want to kill someone, it’s not much more difficult than stepping on a bedbug, the key is to be convincing, if we can’t do it convincingly, Malaya will be in trouble. As a commissioner, also serve the overall interests of the British Empire, when necessary, sacrifice a little personal completely within the scope of permission. After all, compared with the stability of the colony as a whole, it is quite immaterial whether a wrongdoer is British or not.”

Leaving it all in Richard’s hands, Alan Wilson continued to have to shrug it off, confident that Richard, who had the sense of being the next High Commissioner, would cherish this hard-won opportunity.

Alyssa in the whole process, just silent sitting on the side crossing her legs, high heels jumping and jumping, did not join in the discussion, know Richard left, only to put down the newspaper, “It seems that you’ve already decided.”

“What do you think?” Alan Wilson inquired in a businesslike tone, “How about making Ender the commissioner?”

“It’s better to let Richard do it then.” Alisha hurriedly shook her head when she heard this, and walked next to Allen Wilson, leaned in with a fragrant breeze, and said in a petulant voice, “Anyway, you have to set me up.”

“I know, are the mother of two children.” Alan Wilson helplessly shook his head, “rest assured, your husband is not also together over it, wait until the education industry to support up, you two absolutely quite a lot to earn, but also husband and wife harmony, how good.”

“I knew that the Commissioner is still remembering old feelings.” The waves of light in Alisa’s eyes flowed, “Our couple is very grateful to the Commissioner.”

“Before I leave office, I will definitely arrange every aspect of things, we all came together from the time we rolled out of India in the dust.” Alan Wilson promised earnestly, “Maintaining the unity of the civil service is never the first priority of the Administrator. Inform the Sultans for me, and Rangoon for that matter, that we talk to Burma about regional cooperation, if we can.”

Richard had been to Rangoon last year to talk to General Aung San, but after all, he wasn’t yet the administrator of the colony, and had only talked out an intention, and the person who could really make the call, hadn’t that just returned?

The consequence of General Aung San not being assassinated is that the ethnic conflict in Burma is not so great now.

The focus of the BINLON AGREEMENT is that each ethnic minority region enjoys full autonomy in national politics and that the people of each ethnic minority region enjoy the rights and privileges enjoyed by citizens of a democratic state.

General Aung San is alive and well in a certain sense to suppress the voice of the great Burmese, which is also Alan Wilson saw the biggest role, but to say that the post-independence Burmese development by leaps and bounds? That is really not seen, only that there is no regression.

Burma’s economic peak was the 1930s before World War II, a time when countries were deeply affected by the Great Depression, and Burma’s standard of living exceeded Japan’s in all of Asia, and with Britain defining Burma as a base for agricultural products, the Burmese were doing quite well compared to the rest of the world.

India was only the most important British colony in terms of volume, and the Burmese had a much better time than the Indians.

In terms of transportation, two main railroads were built, one from Yangon to Pyu Myo and the other from Yangon to Toungoo.

During the colonial period, Burma’s railroads had the longest mileage among those in Southeast Asia, only to be destroyed during World War II. The total mileage of Burma’s railroads amounted to 3,000 kilometers, which was more than twice as much as Thailand’s railroads at that time.

Waterways, the United Kingdom has set up a lot of shipping companies, whether it is to transport passengers or cargo is very convenient, the waterway transportation industry is very developed. “With more than six hundred ships of all sizes, the annual passenger traffic amounted to nine million and the freight traffic to one and a half million tons.”

As to enterprise, many rice-processing factories were established in Burma, owing to the extensive rice cultivation carried on by the British.

Mining also developed rapidly in Burma during this period and mining related factories were established.

The joint embargo was a disaster for small countries, and only large countries with large populations and large areas were able to resist it.

The original history of Myanmar is that because of the assassination of Aung San and the subsequent military government’s initiative to disengage from contact with the outside world, Myanmar, which was in the middle of a closed country, naturally appeared to be prostrate and retrogressing.

Nowadays, Burma is still in the framework of the Commonwealth, and the economic ties with the Malayan colonies are quite good.

This is also before, Alan Wilson in London to pick Nigeria and Burma to help Britain through the economic crisis, at least there are more than 18 million people it, and Nigeria together to help Britain carry through a year of economic crisis cycle, not a big problem.

By now it is actually possible to talk to General Aung San, Burma has been independent for ten years, when it was a colony, you say that the UK has limited the development of Burma, that’s fair enough. But after ten years of independence, you are still repeating the same old rhetoric as the Indians, and that is very boring.

Not to mention the development of the Malayan colony is a counterexample, at one time Burma was the most prosperous place in Asia, better than even Japan.

And the Malayan colony was a bit worse than Burma, and now Burma has been independent for so many years while the Malayan colony is doing very well.

The comparison between the two is not to say that they are superior or inferior, but it is enough to make the Burmese, who have seen the prosperous period of Burma, gloomy.

In fact, the Malayan colony was so saturated with laborers that it couldn’t eat any more if Britain was shifting any industries, and now Allen Wilson had the basis to shift industries out, such as textiles.

Of course he couldn’t transfer it to unreliable places, India was extremely unreliable in his eyes.

If Aung San is interested, he can come to talk about this, after all, the Malayan colony and Burma are next to each other, it is best to maintain amicable relations, and it is easy to want to contain Burma, using the naval base in the Andaman Islands, and checking more to see if there is any disease or pests in Burma’s exports, it is enough to make Rangoon’s headache.

Alan Wilson not only wants to compete with Japan to see who accepts the transfer of industries quickly, but also to see who can transfer industries out earlier.

The initial stage of development, you can count on the textile industry, but can not always count on the textile industry, the textile industry can not make much money.

The time has come for the Malayan colonies to consider transferring this part of the industry out and upgrading it themselves.

No doubt it would be better to count on the next High Commissioner than to let Alan Wilson do it himself.

He fixed the meeting place at Penang, which was the nearest big city in the Malayan colony to Burma, while he, the district’s flunky, was to represent his wife at the Rulers’ Conference, who had Pamela Mountbatten in London.

A day apart, Eliza informed Alan Wilson that Rangoon had replied and was willing to talk about the investment.

“Richard seems to have had a good talk.” Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, “We can use this industrial transfer to regain influence in Burma. There’s also no need to pay the cost of maintaining stability.”

Since this was the case, Allen Wilson was ready to go to Penang, meanwhile, a certain international movie queen, skillfully put on her bandana and sunglasses, and made preparations to have to complete the logistics.

After a full investigation by the colonial government, regarding the East Africa Office incident, it was the result of organized and premeditated incitement by anti-British elements, there was no such thing as black rape, Richard righteously announced the results of the investigation, “We must seek justice for the dead.”

“What justice ah, the people who stormed the office on that day were several hundred, all arrested and shot?” Alan Wilson bristled, “Just negotiate with the Chinese, let them think about what price they are prepared to pay to be exempted from punishment.”
