British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 567: Empire Loyalty Dog

"As a new department, don't listen to the wind is the rain. The department should be more concerned about practical things when it is first established."

Alan Wilson frowned and said, "London and I have high hopes for the work of the Security Intelligence Committee and have been patient enough. After all, there are other purposes in the future."

This kind of unconfirmed news was sternly refuted by Alan Wilson, who directly stated that British Malaya has not received any repatriation requests from the United States and can be determined to be fake news.

It is hard for others to imagine that the busyness of a High Commissioner, reported to Alan Wilson with this kind of news, is itself disrespectful to his work, which has a lot to do.

For example, according to the instructions of the Foreign Secretary, planning to stabilize the economic development support plan in South Asia and Southeast Asia, of course, this must be carried out under the framework of the Commonwealth. On the basis of the success of the previous five-nation defense treaty, Alan Wilson felt Not difficult.

Of course, the most important thing is to get the support of Australia, which is Australia.

Alan Wilson also lamented that Australia is indeed a natural supporter of Britain's handling of Asian affairs.

Because he had just returned to Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson was not particularly familiar with the current details, so he met with Lieutenant General Bilton who signed the five-nation defense treaty and said that he had the task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formulate and maintain the traditional influence of the British Empire in Asia. Powerful protection and implementation.

Lieutenant General Bilton said with a wry smile, "I thought you wanted to ask about the cooperation between the Pacific Fleet and the U.S. Seventh Fleet."

"That's none of my business!" Alan Wilson looked disinterested. "The Americans must maintain their influence and must take the UK with them. These **** are more than we were at the beginning."

"Indeed, the Americans want the Pacific Fleet to join the strait cruise." Lieutenant General Bilton nodded in approval.

Alan Wilson was shocked and scolded, "They really dare to think, what good is this for the British Empire? Who will pay for the loss of 250 million pounds? What about Xiangjiang?"

Do you really think of the British Empire in 1950 as the British Isles that cannot be played without the United States in the 21st century?

"No accident, the cabinet and the admiral of the fleet will refuse." Lieutenant Admiral Bilton said, "As for your question about Australia, currently, because of the issue of Antarctic territorial sovereignty, the anti-Soviet atmosphere in Australia is high. ."

"The reason is this?" Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and said silently for a moment, "This matter is difficult to handle, and it is not just a problem of the Soviet Union. The United States should put forward an opinion that seems to take care of the emotions of all parties, but has no results. And to advertise neutrality, it makes us unable to achieve our goal. After all, there are many countries involved, and under the premise of the Soviet Union’s statement, the United States can fish in troubled waters.”

The matter of Antarctic sovereignty is a long story. In the eighteenth century, Captain Cook of the United Kingdom lasted three years and eight months, circumnavigating the Antarctic for a week and entering the polar circle several times, but he did not find land in the end.

Decades later, imperial Russia sent a scientific expedition team to lead two ships, the Vostok and Piraeus, and it took two years to discover the two islands. It is certain that Antarctica is a continent, not a large block of ice.

Entering the 20th century, the prelude to the staking of the Antarctic horses was kicked off, and even Hitler's Germany was involved. Of course, with the defeat of Germany, Antarctica and Germany have nothing to do with each other.

It has become a competition for countries close to the Antarctic. The United Kingdom has the support of the Fox Islands, Australia and New Zealand, and the United States also claims the sovereignty of Antarctic travel.

However, a total of eight countries' discussion of the sovereignty claims to Antarctica attracted the attention of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union sent a note to the governments of the eight countries, stating that it would not admit to any country's territorial claims to Antarctica in any way, and would not admit to doing anything without the participation of the Soviet Union. any resolution on Antarctica.

Because the first piece of land in Antarctica was actually discovered by imperial Russia, the Soviet Union has an important historical position in the discovery of Antarctica, which has led to a change in the attitude of the United States. Together with the Soviet Union, they do not recognize any country's territorial claims on Antarctica, and preserve it together. their own power to make territorial claims to Antarctica.

"As I said, the Americans are silent, they stand with the Soviet Union on many issues, and now they are almost at war with the Soviet Red Army, and they secretly support the almost symbolic issue of Antarctica. Soviet Union."

Alan Wilson knows that in the issue of Antarctic sovereignty, Australia believes that it has the greatest advantage, because Australia is almost alone facing the entire Antarctica, next to New Zealand, whose blood is thicker than water, and the solidarity of the United Kingdom. There is almost a kind of mentality that is inevitable. Now that the Soviet Union is so warned, it is natural to be angry.

However, Alan Wilson, an ordinary man, did not realize until the 21st century that there is any way to use Antarctica. Naturally, he does not care about Antarctica, but prepares relevant materials and prepares to go to Canberra to strive for Australia's influence on maintaining British traditions. Powerful support.

These materials include, but are not limited to, currency reform and related industry support in British Malaya.

Among the three banks that are expected to be issued with the right to issue British pound sterling in British Malaya, one bank is entirely a British state-owned bank, and the other is a bank that allocates equity for British private banks and the Australian government.

The third bank is the newly established Sarawak Development Bank by Pamela Mountbatten. This bank is not owned by Pamela Mountbatten alone. It also has a large number of private shareholders, but it just happens to be with some of Whitehall’s official business cloud. The leader has the same name.

Although the United Kingdom has the influence to let Australia support British Malaya in mineral resources, and it is not difficult to achieve the goal, but nothing is directly tied to the interests.

And it is reasonable for Australia to pay some price for mineral support to British Malaya. The exchange rate of British Malaya's currency reform has already been set, the nominal exchange rate is one to eight, and the real exchange rate is one to six. The two remaining profits, although not exhausted, still have a lot of room for floating.

Using this piece to fight or even bind Australia's interests is also in line with the maintenance of the British Empire's influence in Asia.

A special Comet plane that flew from London to Kuala Lumpur, after the necessary maintenance and refueling, flew to Canberra, the capital of Australia, with Alan Wilson fully prepared.

With the continuous delivery of the Comet airliner, it gradually appeared in the airlines of various countries. Australia is no longer unfamiliar with this airliner, and also intends to update the airliner of Qantas.

Alan Wilson, who arrived in Canberra, first met the Governor-General of Australia, and after gaining support, he went to seek the support of the Australian Prime Minister, Robert Gordon Menzies.

Robert Gordon Menzies, leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, is as much a choice for current Britain as his predecessor, as Menzies is a fanatical pro-British prime minister.

In Menzies' words, Australians are essentially white people of British background. However, the Australian Labor Party still controls the Senate.

"There is probably no politician in the world who loves the Crown Prince more than he does. Not even our politicians in the UK."

Before meeting Menzies, Alan Wilson knew from the Governor's mouth that Prime Minister Menzies was a loyal supporter of the standby king, so this matter might be easier.

Alan Wilson can remember that Menzies was the Prime Minister of Australia for 18 years, which shows that the British influence in Australian politics will not dissipate for a long time. This is simply great news.

If he cannot turn British Malaya into a fortress within 18 years, it will be a shame for Menzies' 18-year term.

After knowing that Menzies had a reverence for the crown prince, Alan Wilson mentioned inside and out that his fiancee is Pamela Mountbatten. Sections are worthless in the face of national interests.

The Indonesian issue is of course the main issue that Alan Wilson talked about. He said that the arrangement for Indonesia has almost been completed. British Malaya and Dutch Kalimantan will be suppressed from the north, and Dutch New Guinea will become Australia's. barrier.

As for facing Java, there are Portuguese-controlled Timor and Christmas Island, part of British Malaya.

But we have to consider Indonesia's own demographic advantages, followed by a cliché of population overflow. Australia itself has less than 9 million people, and Indonesia's population is ten times that of Australia.

"There are indications that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Indonesia's Sukarno and the Soviet Union are getting closer and closer." Alan Wilson eloquently talked about the Soviet threat in front of the Australian Prime Minister, "and the UK's current response is to establish For Indonesia's industrial advantages, prevent Indonesia's strong national strength from supporting an aggressive outward-looking policy. The place to support is ready-made, that is, British Malaya. This must be supported by the Australian government."

"The UK is very worried about Australia's geographical environment. If Australia itself has a sufficient population, London will not be so worried, but Australia's livable conditions determine the upper limit of the population, which has to be worrying."

The current thinking in Australia is actually similar to Alan Wilson's previous two wings. The Australian version of flying with two wings is to help Britain maintain its traditional influence in Asia while recognizing the superiority of the United States.

To this end support any European power to stay by its side, be it the Netherlands or Portugal. Australia is not even willing to listen to the US in this pursuit.

Menzies responded enthusiastically when it came to currency reform in British Malaya and hoped that Australia could help. Says Australia has no reason not to help Britain.

Sure enough, it is the loyal dog of the Empire, Alan Wilson said silently with a knowing smile.
