Chapter 932 – The Third United States of America in the World
The comment had been poignant, it was hard to justify this achievement after ten years of independence, there were of course a number of factors, the only consolation was that the Burmese were still living like human beings compared to the Indians.
“Mr. Wilson, Burma may not be developing as well as it should be, but what it is achieving now is comforting enough for post-independence Burma.” U Nu heard the sarcasm in the words, but still replied calmly, “We in Burma are a peaceful country and have good relations with all the neighboring countries.”
“Oh, all good? Like the pro-Thai forces in Shan State? And the Wa state in the north. You should thank me for all of them, or else the Rohingya would be trouble.” Alan Wilson snorted and said, “Of course, you could have said in front of me that Burma is a peaceful country, and I’ll pretend I don’t know that before the British occupation, Burma exterminated Thailand, attacked India, and fought a few battles with the Qing Dynasty.”
From this point of view, Burma was indeed the little hegemon of Southeast Asia at that time, after occupying all of Thailand, Burma controlled enough land to qualify to stand side by side with China, and the average regime that cut off Jiangnan was as big as Burma was at that time.
This has to say, ran into a very energetic Qianlong, attacking Burma’s Qing army is not suited to the soil and water, a large area of disease and death, resulting in Qianlong destroyed Burma to build a province idea fizzle, but also let the Burmese national strength decline, resulting in the restoration of Thailand, the dream of the southern power forever into a bubble.
Burma province did not realize is not worth the pity, Qianlong even if the fight down Burma also did not have to devour or call the time of national integration.
Because the British army will soon come by sea. Qianlong would have had only one more piece of the loser’s guilt on him.
If Wu Nu had other Britons in front of him, some peace-loving argument might have gotten away with it.
But as it happened, Allen Wilson knew quite a bit about Eastern history, and a few words left the Burmese speechless.
“Speaker, this Englishman has been to Burma before, and he knows the entire East.” After the first contact, U Tin Lun found an opportunity to mention to Wu Su, some information about this man Allen Wilson.
“There is still such a person in England?” Wu Su was also surprised, he was completely unprepared before he came.
Allen Wilson, on the other hand, sidetracked the others and hid in the middle of Empress Nanfang’s boudoir to rest, which is quite normal, is it strange for the Lord of the Middle Hall and the Empress to talk about matters of state?
“Thailand, in the middle of your two countries, is actually not considered to have much military power. Vietnam and Burma are the tough players in Southeast Asia, but in this day and age, bravery alone can’t solve everything. When it comes down to fighting a war, it still depends on where one’s technology level is.” Alan Wilson stretched out the claws of Ruksan, “Honorable Empress, it’s unthinkable that Emperor Pao would be willing to part with you.”
“Commissioner, there are negotiations to be had.” Empress Nan Fang barely dodged and didn’t quite dare to roll her eyes, this Englishman was the supreme governor of the entire colony, she wasn’t the Empress of one country anymore.
“It’s such a shame that if Emperor Bao had made me Prime Minister, I might have been able to neutralize Vietnam.” Alan Wilson lamented that his talents as a prime minister could not be fully utilized, only a small portion of it could be utilized here in Empress Nam Phuong.
Come to think of it, a civil and military genius like him not only had the literary talent of Prime Minister Cao, but his second brother was also invincible. That’s why the old genius set up so many tests.
“Commissioner, negotiating with the Burmese is the big thing.” The unavoidable Empress Nam Phuong made a last struggle.
“Seeing is believing, I’ve already arranged a trip for the Burmese to visit in West Malaysia.” Alan Wilson pressed on, wanting to revisit the old dream of showing off his prime ministerial talents in front of Queen Nam Fong.
This kind of thing was perfectly justified, Emperor Pao and Empress Nam Phuong were no longer together, Alan Wilson felt that a weak woman needed a man to rely on, and in the whole of Malaya only he himself had the ability to do so, and was the most suitable candidate.
For the sake of friendship between Britain and Vietnam, the Imperial Commissioner sacrificed himself, what a great mind.
Empress Nam Phuong does not know what mood, followed by Fei Wenli stayed in the hotel on the golf course, looking from afar to see the two swinging at the golf course, she always inadvertently recalled warm moments, and could not help but hate herself for being unashamed, and at the same time, deeply hated the fallen Emperor Bao Dai, leading to his current fate.
Swinging a club, a somewhat tired Vivienne, wearing a visor to indicate that she was going to take a break, inquired, “So what the hell do the Burmese mean by not having an intention?”
“It’s useless for me to spend as much spit as I can, hearing is believing. Let them see for themselves what is happening in West Malaysia now, than what I say is better.” Naturally, Alan Wilson could not say that part of the reason was that he himself found time to demonstrate the talents of the Prime Minister in front of the Queen of Nanfang, but this reason was even more plausible.
“Because of the colonial history, the Burmese are definitely on the defensive against us, which is perfectly normal. But they are even more defensive about the two big guys next to them. Compared to China and India, we still have an advantage, the British mainland is far away, while those two countries, will always be next to Burma, distance produces beauty, the past is important, but reality is even more important.”
“Fair point.” Vivien Leigh nodded, picked up two drinks in her hand, unscrewed one and took a sip and handed it to Alan Wilson, “You’re very optimistic about Burma?”
“Not as much as there is no choice. The US hasn’t been operating in Thailand for a short time. Ditto the Philippines, Indonesia is the enemy, and South Vietnam is more dangerous, so where else is there to choose from? Is it possible to choose India? Seeing Nehru’s third in the world look, I can’t say anything cheap.”
Gulping down his drink, Alan Wilson pursed his lips as if he was experiencing the aroma of the Great British Treasure’s lips, “It won’t be long before the oil refining center in Singapore is finished, there’s always a need for laborers to work as workers, and there aren’t enough of them left in the Malayan colonies.”
“You’ve been upset about this lately.” Vivienne advised with a taut little face, “It will come to a head.”
“Move fast, even in Asia, it’s not like there are no opponents.” Alan Wilson took off his visor and pulled out a cigar, Vivien Lei hurriedly took out the lighter and lit it, full of attachment.
Currently there are two things to do, the first is to seize the industrial transfer before Japan.
Geographically, the two are not conflicting, and Japan’s first choice for industrial transfer is Korea. However, Lee Seung-wan will do Allen Wilson a big favor, as long as he is the president for one day, the temporary industrial transfer will not start.
Lee Seung Wan period of Korea only the lowest end of the flour, sugar, cotton textile development faster, from which the birth of Korea’s first plutocrats.
Lee Seung-man era, the whole of South Korea has become a collusion between business and government, power and money trading market, Lee Seung-man’s election depends on the seven major enterprises Taechang Textile, Goldstar Textile, Chosun Textile, Dongyang Cement, Dongli Property, Capital Property, the central industry of the political offerings, and these plutocrats and the Lee Seung-man regime of the fostering of small and medium-sized enterprises have closed down, the unemployment rate has soared.
Korean agriculture was also hit hard by the scissors difference between the prices of agricultural and industrial products due to U.S. food aid. In the latter part of Lee Seung-man’s reign, there was even serious inflation.
So how could there be Korean stowaways in the Malayan colonies? There are reasons for this, but the main destination of most of those who fled from Korea was Japan.
Currently Japan’s industrial transfer is not urgent, after all, Japan’s population is nearly 100 million, the labor force is far more than the Malayan colony to be sufficient, Malaya’s industrial transfer is going to be imperative.
Oil refining center has been about to be completed, which is the basis of Allen Wilson go Formosa Plastics route, as the most important port in the Strait of Malacca, Singapore’s location is naturally needless to say, the number of ships to and from the Strait of Malacca is huge, the number and variety of fuel oil needed by ships and aircraft is constantly increasing.
At the same time, along with the rise of the Japanese economy, Japan every year through the Strait of Malacca to import a large number of energy resources, Singapore, the port city, is in the West Asia crude oil origin and the East between the oil consumption area.
The planned Singapore Refining Center, in addition to processing out different oil products such as gasoline, can also produce gaseous fuels, synthetic gases, petrochemicals, as well as lubricants and asphalt raw materials.
With the development of the chemical industry on this basis and the completion of the Formosa Plastics Route, the Malayan colony will have a foothold, and initially have an industry that can hold its own in the world.
While U Soe was leading the Burmese delegation to visit major cities in the West Malaysian Peninsula, the first U.S. satellite was finally launched. The United States’ first artificial satellite finally arrived, an important milestone for the United States, which had already been under heavy pressure and was being looked at differently by the rest of the world.
“The greatest significance of the successful launch of the Explorer 1 satellite for the U.S. lies in the fact that it rebuilt U.S. confidence and proved to the world that the U.S. is not inferior to the Soviet Union in terms of technological capability.
In the launch on December 18 last year, the United States of America’s major national television and radio stations are synchronized live broadcast of the United States using the “Pioneer” rocket to launch the United States of America’s satellite scene.
In front of a national television audience, the Pioneer rocket was lost shortly after liftoff. A week later, a successful British launch in Australia dealt the United States a double blow.
In 1958, the United States was finally able to join the space club with a bang.
But Washington’s rhetoric claiming the same level of technology as the Soviet Union didn’t buy into the American citizenry, and a number of media outlets suggested that Britain was ahead of the U.S. as well.
Alan Wilson, the man responsible for British spaceflight, had little to say, and even congratulated the United States on its technological prowess, as McCarthy said after the successful launch of the satellite, “”Explorer 1″ only weighed about twenty-seven pounds, but seventy percent of that was equipment,” he said. seventy percent of it was equipment of all kinds, and it was extremely well utilized. It’s more of a technological product than the Soviet Union’s iron ball that does nothing but beep.”
