British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 557: war brings demand

"Even if we have a quid pro quo, it is estimated that it will not be easy to achieve the goal. The United States definitely wants us to send ground troops." Norman Brooke informed Alan Wilson of the cabinet decision, but said that things might go back and forth.

"It's best not to. Once the scale of the war is uncontrollable, you must know that most of the population of British Malaya is Chinese." Alan Wilson pondered for a while and said, "Of course I will not judge whether it will destroy Malaya because of ethnic issues. stability. But it is also possible.”

"It seems that the move to balance the Malays is not very correct." Norman Brooke sighed with a frown.

"But we couldn't have predicted that the situation in Asia would become like this." Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart, he still shied his responsibilities with an unpredictable future, "Maybe in the future, be careful on the issue of stabilizing Malaya. Some, but if we get through this, the benefits are limitless. The window of Hong Kong is in our hands, and Malaya, the core of Southeast Asia, is in our hands. As long as we can stabilize the Malayan Chinese, there can be Chinese in every country in Southeast Asia. We can successfully enter the market of various countries through this channel.”

Alan Wilson mentions the benefits and outlines ambitious goals for the future.

There is no other way for Britain now. If Malaya cannot be preserved, the collapse of the British colonial system is no doubt.

Can't support Africa, Northern Rhodesia? With more than 200,000 Slavs, how long does it take for the population to increase to support the United Kingdom? How can the United Kingdom wait so long now?

"Yes, there are not many options left for the UK, so your work is still very important. By the way, Alan!" Norman Brooke asked another question, "What do you think about New Delhi's military against Hyderabad? How do you see it, you have worked in India."

"There are only a few hundred instructors in Germany. We know that if New Delhi has long-term ambitions for Hyderabad, Hyderabad will have problems sooner or later. It's really hard to say." Alan Wilson hesitated and replied, "But For the country of India, I personally don’t think it should be too high. The so-called powerful country is quite difficult to realize. Although Nehru is very powerful, the Ganges Estuary and the Indus River Basin already belong to another country, British India. The good geography has been destroyed. He can't change anything."

India wants to be a powerful country. Even if the United Kingdom agrees to this, the United States will not agree.

Britain dominates. With the further development of the war, the United States became the world's largest power and gradually took the lead. The attitude of the United States towards India was similar to that of the United Kingdom towards India.

In order to maintain its dominant position in society, the United States can suppress any country, including but not limited to India. The United States marginalizes India. In the beginning it was just inequality of economic status, then it was extended to other areas and strengthened.

In domination, strengthen the dominance of the United States. Looking at every industry in the world, the top of the pyramid is basically the United States. In terms of values, it emphasizes the difference between the east and the west, marginalizes India, promotes the core values ​​centered on the United States, and denies the value of India.

In terms of social roles, restricting and hindering India's creativity, restricting India's access to the core field, and placing it in a secondary position.

Let India participate in world affairs, but the world still belongs to the United States. In other words, the United States has made India feel that it is inherently secondary by constantly making India secondary, so that India can always, only, be the bottom labor force for the United States.

After the Cold War, the United States took a break from the East, and will only be more cautious when dealing with India. After all, taking history as an admonition is not the patent of any country, and the United States will not be so stupid if the same pit is thrown twice.

In front of the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson still assured his confidence in stabilizing the situation in Malaya. If it really doesn't work, when the two unsealed battleships arrive in Asia, they can shell Jakarta to add to the fun. done.

Is there anyone in the whole of the UK who is more certain than him, in a place where the Chinese are the majority of the population, who can achieve results?

Out of the rigor of the language, there may be, but from the analysis of the actual situation, there is no such thing at all.

So far, Alan Wilson has completed, and this time London has recalled his work to draw up an analysis of the response to the war in the Far East, to provide a model for the UK to deal with this matter in the future.

The UK and the US also have completely different considerations when looking at Asian issues, as can be seen from the media reports that Pamela Mountbatten controlled in Australia. And the American public opinion media in Australia, saying exactly two things.

Thanks to McCarthy's smooth work, the United States regards all countries with a political structure similar to the Soviet Union as part of the Soviet Union, and believes that as long as they are socialist countries, they have no autonomy at all. command.

Prime Minister Attlee also sees Eastern European countries this way, but not Yugoslavia, which is a big difference. Do not see Moscow that way, nor do you see socialist countries outside Eastern Europe that way.

With that in mind, London is still in touch with Belgrade after the North Rhodesian incident. The Labour cabinet believed that maintaining ties with autonomous socialist countries was in and of itself neutralizing the Soviet threat.

A full hostility to all countries with the same system as the Soviet Union will only force them to increase their dependence on Moscow.

At the same time, the forces are mutual. The more socialist countries that are persecuted, the more the counter-force will force the Western European countries to hug the US, including the United Kingdom.

However, Alan Wilson knew that Britain's advice would be ignored by the United States. Britain thought that Americans were relatively inexperienced in dealing with world affairs and would be willing to listen to Britain's experience.

But this is an assumption made by the UK: a certain degree of alignment of interests between the UK and the US, an assumption that would soon prove to be overly optimistic. Due to the asymmetry between the strengths of the two countries after World War II, the US is stronger than the UK, which limits the influence of the UK.

Perhaps the only thing that can make people happy is that because the war broke out and the United States has determined to intervene, it has led to a wave of gains in the U.S. steel stocks retained by Allenwell. If history remains unchanged for about three years, he will also Can usher in a wave of wealth.

Of course, compared with the Australian iron ore in Pamela Mountbatten's hands, this can only be regarded as a small amount of money. When the United States decided to intervene in arms, it was also a time when iron ore ushered in a rise.

In this case, Australia's extremely high-purity iron ore will have a significant advantage.

It can even be said that the European market can be supplied. If iron ore is at a low price, Europe is far away from Australia after all. Coupled with the fact that Europe itself has iron ore, the demand for Australian iron ore is not urgent.

But after the price of iron ore rises, it will be different. After all, the United Kingdom is supported by the Imperial Preferential System. After being imported into other European countries through the hands of the United Kingdom, it is very exciting.

Pamela Mountbatten, who painted cakes in France, also sent a telegram to her fiance who returned to London during this period to express her joy because of the news that iron ore had risen due to the war.

Even in Sweden, the home of Europe's best iron ore, Britain has more traditionally strong ties than Germany and France. In general, if the last war can take advantage of the rise in related raw materials, the UK can still reap some benefits.

Alan Wilson's return to London this time also brought in the first half of the Malayan profit, a total of 28 million pounds. After all, Malaya's tin ore and rubber accounted for half and one-third of the world's demand, respectively, and had strong pricing power.

At the same time when the Netherlands withdrew from Indonesia, it destroyed the original Dutch rubber industry in Indonesia, and also boosted the pricing power of British Malaya in the rubber field, resulting in a revenue of 28 million pounds in half a year.

The Indonesian rubber industry destroyed by the Netherlands actually helped the United Kingdom, which is the same as when the United States entered a stage of rapid growth after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. After all, there are no competitors, so there is no need to lower prices and pretend to be grandchildren. That’s what happened with the Cold War dividend. .

The actions of the Dutch can be regarded as a small-scale Cold War dividend for British Malaya.

Iron ore's expectations exceeded expectations~www.wuxiaspot.com~ also made Pamela Mountbatten's success course in Paris more comfortable. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she found that the French seemed to be very interested in the news of Libyan oil.

Alan Wilson knew this was definitely not an illusion, the Mediterranean and North Africa had always been France's backyard. In particular, France in North Africa is the largest French-speaking country, and the first country to jump out and kill Kadazoo in later generations is also France.

France does not hesitate to send troops, stabilize the back garden, strengthen the control of the Mediterranean, and establish a French-led Mediterranean alliance. Is it fake?

If oil was discovered elsewhere, it would be good to say that it was in North Africa, how could it not make the French cheer. Perhaps because of the increasing interests of North Africa, France is now even more reluctant to let go of North Africa.

Alan Wilson expressed his congratulations for his fiancée's successful sales course, and then directly approached Zakharova to ask him about the things he was more concerned about, seeds, pig breeding and projects to promote the revolution in agriculture and animal husbandry.

He is no stranger to Zakharova. After all, he is an assistant arranged by Mikhailovich. In fact, it is not just a matter of Malaya. Northern Rhodesia is also following these channels to introduce relevant The project and the development of agriculture and animal husbandry have the same goals in this regard, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
