British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 741: A national treasure of good rapport
The economy was the biggest problem for Britain after the war. The increased reliance on the United States in the original history brought not all benefits to the United Kingdom, and the British are well aware of this.
According to the accounts of the time, Britain became more introverted and its role in world affairs was uncertain.
Although the Commonwealth still has important functions, such as unifying the operation of the pound area and the operation of the trading system, the Commonwealth is indeed increasingly ritualized. Relations with the United States have been bittersweet in many ways and increasingly troubled.
Although it is difficult to reverse the decline of Britain after the war, it is not impossible at all. Although the population of Great Britain is limited, the population of the entire British Empire is not large. The United Kingdom can make industrial layout and division of labor in the British Empire, and distribute the eliminated industries in the British Empire. In the overseas British territories, the local industry has been upgraded, and a geese-shaped model with Great Britain as the head has been formed within the British Empire.
As long as the distribution is reasonable, it can not only avoid the enlargement of the territory, but also strengthen the cohesion within the British Empire.
Among the remaining colonies at present, some and only British Malaya still have this industrial function. Moreover, Australia and New Zealand have a very poor environment for industrial development, which can be used as a force to assist the UK in accomplishing this purpose.
In fact, this industry transfer has more advantages than before World War II. The world hegemony before World War II was still in the hands of the United Kingdom, and the entire British Empire still included high-quality colonies such as Canada and Australia.
These colonies are rich in resources, and even if you take a little, you can still make life easier for the British mainland. Britain has been caught in the Dutch disease in a sense, and has been fighting the Dutch disease.
Now that Australia and other dominions have become independent, it is not a good thing for Britain to put Britain's interests first.
Before the war, Britain's interests were huge. In fact, you don't need to look at other countries, just look at China, which still has 250 million pounds. Even after the war, Britain has continued to be the largest investor.
In fact, even with Alan Wilson filling in the loopholes, Britain's decline continued. In 1950, Britain's manufacturing exports accounted for 25 percent of the world's total. Three years later, although The total is still growing, and with Malaya's more exports, it has also fallen to 22 percent.
The shipbuilding industry, which accounts for one-third of the world, has also fallen below 30 percent. However, this slow decline is a positive performance, and the total volume has not declined, just because European countries have started the process of recovery.
Compared with the aftershocks that are still in the throes of the mainland, Malaya, which has no foundation, is much luckier. It is one advantage that a weak foundation can bring about high growth. Another advantage is that the happiness of a group of chickens around is compared.
Although standing out from the crowd will bring some smuggling problems, it can also stabilize the resistance of most people in British Malaya.
For 1953, the first year of Queen Elizabeth's coronation, Alan Wilson's personal summary is still ok. He survived the storm surge and the London smog event without any risk, just think of how difficult it is to build a country.
Alan Wilson is not planning to return to China at the end of the year because of a series of events involving the remodeling of London and the Queen's ascension to the throne.
Instead, let's look at what will happen in the coming 1954, a year when France's colonial power in Asia collapsed.
"The French are also really inefficient, so the Vietnamese can't be braver and take the initiative to drive the French into the sea?" The Malayan commissioner, who was hiding in Kuala Lumpur, ordered French newspapers specially, and told the British army advisory group that had arrived in Saigon. Keep in touch.
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} The big dramas such as left and right are not staged, and can only be compared thousands of miles away to the French who have to pay blood, the essence of standing and talking without back pain, in At this time, the expression is most vivid, and it is hard to put on the pants.
Since the French still need time, Alan Wilson can only continue his self-declaration life. He also did this in New Delhi, the capital of British India many years ago, and every day he tells the Indians that India's future is not a small one, but a great one. .
But now he is more optimistic about British Malaya. He really feels that the time for laying the foundation has passed, British Malaya is about to enter the accumulation stage, and the accumulation of wealth will slowly climb, which is necessary Time is also an inevitable step.
In this process, Britain's role is to provide protection for Malaya's economic development. This is also unavoidable. In the original history, Japan actually played this role. Of course, according to the time, it should be Japan thirty years later.
After Japan developed, the goose formation strategy was put forward, and independent Malaysia became Japan's little brother.
At that time, Malaysia had similar advantages as the current British Malaya, with oil and natural gas resources, port dividends brought by the Strait of Malacca, and tin mines are conducive to the development of semiconductors. Abundant raw materials, wood and oil palm everything; pleasant climate, no natural disasters; convenient transportation, sufficient workers, everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
But then Malaysia's eldest brother, Japan, was hit by the United States with the Plaza Accord. Even the eldest brother knelt down. Naturally, Malaysia could not avoid being crushed to death by the collapsed corpse of the eldest brother, just like the collapse of the Soviet Union would crush the Eastern European socialist countries.
Several leading industries in Malaysia, such as electronics, automobiles, chemicals, and energy, are almost closely related to Japan and directly sink.
And now in British Malaya, the United Kingdom provides industrial transfer and military protection, and there are Dutch military forces in the surrounding area, and Australia and New Zealand provide assistance in the not far south. The conditions are better than when Japan brought it. many.
Now it is not waiting for Japan to lead, but to keep pace with Japan.
Alan Wilson doesn't believe that Britain, after being the world hegemon for hundreds of years, leading a colony to develop its economy, can it be any worse than a defeated country that has no military power at all?
Even if Britain didn't have the economic scale of Japan, Alan Wilson thought he was definitely better than the Japanese.
While visiting the newly established major factories, Alan Wilson listened to the self-expression of the regional commissioners, and his optimism was a little restrained. He began to express his optimism. The following regional commissioners did the same. This thing seems to be called exaggeration wind?
"The optimism is for the Malayan subjects, and we can't believe it ourselves. Everred, you have never worked in British India, and you don't know that we used deceit tactics to fool the Indians."
Alan Wilson immediately turned his guns, saying that the development of Malaya still has a long way to go, and he cannot be optimistic at all.
He used fake data in British India to confuse the Indians who were suffering from drought and compared them with the current public opinion. Finally, he said, "Of course, compared with the Vietnamese, Malaya was still very happy. , at least not to eat bombs."
"I see, Commissioner!" Everred immediately expressed his consistency with his immediate boss, and his attitude became humble.
"Even if we are really developing the fast lane, we should not be complacent. You see the Hong Kong Governor crying poverty to London every day. The more profits we hand in, the less we have left. Of course, 100 million pounds is the bottom line. Lower than British India, so we have to try to enrich the colony as much as we can in order to have more money under our control."
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} In order to share the financial pressure on the British mainland, it is what the British should do. After all, he patted his chest and promised to let British Malaya replace the role of British India before he came here to take office.
But he won't give too much. Once London's requirements are passed, the rest of the wealth will remain in the colony. He also expects Malaya to stay in British hands for a long time, and not to scrape the land like British Africa.
Isn't this kind of advanced experience left behind by the Hong Kong inspector? Applying what you have learned is not a bad thing.
At the end of the year, Alan Wilson thought it might be over, but finally, the logistical support he was thinking of came. Vivien Leigh flew in from the United States and brought her son to meet Alan Wilson.
"Vivian, you are still the best for me." Ellen Wilson held Vivien Leigh's petite body and didn't let go. At the critical moment, Great Britain Treasure was the best for him, which no one can replace.
"What's the matter, I'm not here." Vivien Leigh wrapped the man's head in her arms and comforted her softly. It was her duty to come all the way to complete the logistical support.
Seeing each other for one day is like three autumns, not to mention how many days it has been, the eyes are facing each other, and the heat in their eyes exceeds the temperature in Malaya.
The heart of playing with national treasures is as always, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Alan Wilson can't wait to be with Vivien Leigh every day.
"By the way, if I have time, I have a friend who will come over to be a guest for a few days." Vivien Leigh, with her messy hair **** and flushed on her face, talked about this with the local local snake.
"Your friend!" Alan Wilson glanced at Vivien Leigh suspiciously. He could understand Vivien Leigh's good popularity. In fact, Vivien Leigh's popularity itself was very good. The popularity of national treasures is also first-class. Carson and Vivien Leigh have a good relationship.
Is it just this friend? Alan Wilson asked side-by-side, "You'd better not have male friends. If many female friends come, I will provide convenience in this place in Malaya. You may not believe it, in this half a million square kilometers colony. , I speak better than God and his old man."
"God, God! People don't necessarily have time yet." Vivien gave Alan Wilson a blank look. "My friend will go to Korea to work in the army after the new year. If he has spare time, he might come over for a walk."
"That's it!" Alan Wilson nodded, so there's no need to ask, since it is Lao Jun who is likely to be a woman.
The New Year of 1954 is finally coming with firm steps. Alan Wilson has stopped talking about logistics support. The people who came to send logistics support have already made him a little overwhelmed. At such an important moment, his wife Pamela Mountbatten Of course I want to come, but Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman are here too.
Before the war, he was always full of confidence. He had never fought such a wealthy battle before. When he really fought, he would find that no amount of preparation was enough.
