Chapter 946: Foreign Policy I Lead

Although he was a bureaucrat and there shouldn’t be any friendship or anything like that, in the case of Allen Wilson as a person, he had always pursued a heavy heart, and truth be told, it was contradictory.

For Ali Khan, a native Indian-born maharajah, there is certainly the trait of being even-handed, covering up all the unpleasant shortcomings of the three buddies, but after so many years of helping each other, there is also some camaraderie.

As long as in Alan Wilson’s ability, or within the scope of power, he is willing to provide help, Ali Khan’s one of the sons before the murder, is also he arranged, planted to the body of the Indonesian infiltration.

Of course, Ali Khan is not completely disregard for the law, also cleaned up the son of trouble, gave the colonial government an explanation.

For example, half a million pounds was shelled out for the hit. To put it bluntly, that’s the equivalent of negotiating the silver for a crime.

This return to Kuala Lumpur for the handover of work, Alan Wilson had also revealed to Ali Khan that he was still the next Commissioner’s top man, that with the Colonial and Foreign Ministries in the same building, he could also keep an eye on what was going on in the Malayan colony, not to mention the fact that he was still the Deputy Secretary General of the Overseas Assets Management Board.

“That puts my mind at ease, and for me, the world had better not take a nasty turn for the worse.” Ali Khan was full of sentimentality, expressing the heartfelt feelings of a vested interest; a stagnant human civilization was what he wanted.

“I understand, in fact, as monarchs, you only need to take out a little favor to buy people’s hearts, and you will be able to make a big difference. Of course, other sultans are far from having the same financial power as you.”

Once again expressing his recognition of Ali Khan’s financial power, Alan Wilson then said, “With the help of the rulers, we have the determination to hold on to Malaya, in fact, the rulers should understand who and who should be one kind of person. The difference between a monarch and an ordinary inhabitant is greater than that between a man and a dog, except that everyone has a head and limbs, and likewise a dog has them, doesn’t it?”

As Alan Wilson convened a meeting of rulers to show goodwill to the major monarchs. Richard, the internally appointed next High Commissioner, was creating public opinion about the division of the Straits Colony in favor of the Malays.

The reasoning was actually quite simple, with reference to the fact that the original historical Singapore had been kicked out of Malaysia and had to set up a city-state nation, but this time the division was obviously much wider in scope, with even the capital city of Kuala Lumpur being subsumed under the Straits Colony.

After formulating the core ideas for public opinion building, Richard came to the rulers’ meeting on the hoof, liaising with the state rulers as the next High Commissioner.

Alan Wilson, on the other hand, assured the big buyers that nothing would change, and that the colonial government would still support the Chinese businessmen in accordance with the established policy until the establishment of an economic circle within Southeast Asia.

Soon, Richard, who had entered the rhythm of the High Commissioner, reiterated this point in front of Su Yang and the others, “The policy during the tenure of High Commissioner Wilson will not undergo any changes, and of course the colonial government will need the support of the Justices of the Peace.”

“Definitely!” Su Yang, Gu Ke and the others spoke up, expressing reliability to the colonial government once again.

With the assurance of the rulers and the buyers, Malaya could only operate stably, and Richard could relax a little.

Alan Wilson took his successor to the golf course to ask about the operation of the Straits Colony, “Do you know why the Straits Colony was carved out?”

“To increase the power of the colonial government by separating out an important and wealthy location?” Richard said with some uncertainty.

“This is only one aspect, the fundamental reason is, to increase the gap between the two communities, to the Chinese as a community, or to support them at an unseen level.” Alan Wilson pulled out two cigars and lit one for Richard and said, “The Chinese cultural system is not really strong in terms of cultural barriers, and the extent of the spread of the religion of peace in the agricultural era, you only need to know a little bit about history to know how frighteningly fast it was.”

Monotheism is stronger than polytheism, polytheism is stronger than the culture in general, and in the historical debates between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism has lost more than it has won, and does Buddhism have any resistance to the religion of peace? Not to mention cultures even looser than Buddhism.

Malayan Chinese are only a relative advantage in terms of numbers, and even Lin Lianyu and Chen Zhenlu belong to the old-time literati.

He was really afraid that these old literati could not argue the scriptures with the imams, so administratively he finally decided to re-separate the merged colonies, and ostensibly ha could declare the inclusiveness of a pluralistic society, so that no one could pick on them.

“Internally I’m not worried, but externally, we don’t want to start a conflict with the pro-Soviet countries in the north, except for Indonesia, which we have to keep an eye on.” Alan Wilson solemnly instructed, “That’s the Americans’ job, let’s not steal the show.”

“Commissioner, in fact, I’ve always had a question, why do you think highly of China?” Richard asked his doubt, obviously this doubt had been in his mind for a long time.

Alan Wilson smiled and nodded his head, “That’s a good question, let me also ask you, when do you think the peak of the British Empire was, the Victorian era right, and why the Victorian era was the peak.”

Richard found the question odd, how simple it was, “The British Empire had territories in any time zone and hundreds of millions of people under its rule lived within the empire’s boundaries.”

Alan Wilson held out his hand in a teacher’s manner, “Change Britain in your mouth to China, and you will know why you should think highly of China, what oriental culture, but it is just a goodwill discourse used to bring each other closer. Culture this thing, there is not a quantitative standard, you say you are very strong, he said he is very strong, the Indians are saying that their own culture leads the world, but the area and population can not be false, mention culture, British culture in Europe, obviously not France’s rival, and even in the face of Germany and Russia can not be advantageous.”

“Of course, at this stage, we must also keep an eye on Nehru, Goa is not only important to Portugal, but also important to us. Although it is a Portuguese territory, it is also a window for British products into India.”

“And what are the criteria for that degree?” Richard still wanted to ask a little more clearly to prevent an overreaction.

“Uh, as long as China doesn’t annex Vietnam, it has nothing to do with us, and we’re just keeping an eye on Indonesia no matter what the Americans say.” Alan Wilson hesitated, giving a fairly broad standard answer in order to reassure his successor.

Thinking about it, I know it’s impossible, so that criterion is unlikely to be triggered.

If you don’t consider the probability, Vietnam if part of China? The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region would definitely be the most affected, and anyone with eyes would know that the Red River Plain is much better geographically than the PRD, which isn’t very large, and that once Vietnam is part of China, the economic center of the south would definitely shift to the Red River Plain.

This answer kind of gave Richard a piece of mind, and the conversation between the two ended there. Allen Wilson told Richard to spend a few days with the Sultan and the buyers and the appointments would be read in a few days.

Alan Wilson then went to find Vivien Leigh to discuss manned spaceflight, how important manned spaceflight is, it should be discussed more often.

“Going back to London?” Vivienne sat in the man’s arms, one hand stroking the man’s back, her head resting on the broad shoulder whispering, “I’m going back too, don’t want to leave you.”

“Vivian, of course you can’t leave me. Otherwise my life would lack a lot of joy.” Alan Wilson, who was drifting around unaware of what was going on, enjoying the exquisite figure of the female Bodhisattva, said, “Behind a busy man, there should be a good woman to do the logistics, so that he can work at ease.”

“Unfortunately, you don’t only have me as a good woman for logistical support.” Vivienne lightly bit the man’s shoulder, still relaxing her force when it came to it for fear of hurting the man who was on equal footing with her husband.

A few days later, in the presence of the Sultan and the buyers, Alan Wilson read the appointment from Whitehall, Richard officially took over as the High Commissioner of the Malayan Colony, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, Richard said that he would do everything in his power to keep the economic miracle of Malaya going, “The good old days are yet to come.”

“These days are really getting judged.” Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, looking at his former subordinate who was right at the center of it all, and it wasn’t incorrect to say that, as long as he returned to London, Richard was still his subordinate.

Obviously, the feeling that comes with being in a proper position is definitely not the same, Richard’s smile at this point is more heartfelt than ever.

The lost soul of the overachiever, can only take the Malayan colony of water and electricity operation contract, hanging head and packing, ready to return to London, first let Richard happy and happy, soon he will find out, when Sir Barron’s treatment.

Before embarking on the homeward journey, the Great British Treasure, who had already put on his sunglasses and turban, had set out ahead of him to return to London, which he had not inhabited for many years, and which he felt somewhat unfamiliar with.

It was only after a few days, passing through Paris, which protested from time to time, that Alan Wilson returned to the capital of England.

Alan Wilson, who had already handed over the work of the colonies, went straight to the Foreign Office building, showed his determination to give everything for Britain, and had another handover with Sir Ismay.

“Alan, are you the new permanent undersecretary?” Harold Wilson was very happy to express his welcome after seeing the visitor, “I thought that a guy who is not easy to contact would come, in that case I would have suggested to the Prime Minister to replace the candidate, but since it’s you, naturally, I will not have to do that.”

“Minister Harold, it has been a long time since I have seen you already as the Foreign Secretary, it is as if I have seen that the diplomacy of the British Empire is about to come to the Wilson era.” Alan Wilson also smiled broadly and extended his hand to shake the other party, he this Wilson refers to himself, just like Reaganomics, refers to Wall Street’s Secretary of the Treasury Donald Reagan, not that actor.
