Chapter 271 Aung San

69, the fastest update of British civil servants!

"These Indians are deceiving us." After seeing the content of the telegram, Edel, the secretary of the commissioner, immediately discovered the problem, "Even in the crazy army, it is impossible that no one surrendered. The Indians are lying and deceiving us .”

"Yes, but as far as this matter alone is concerned, I am happy to be deceived by the Indians." Sir Barron said with a relieved expression, "Okay, everything is settled now. Just according to the previous discussion, send a team A ship went to the Andaman Islands to load the bodies on board and then blow up the ship so no one could find them."

This method originated from the Argentine military government to suppress pro-Soviet elements, and of course it originated from the well-informed assistant commissioner.

In fact, it is very simple. Even if the bones of 50,000 people weigh only 2,500 tons of carbohydrates, freighters that can hold 2,500 tons are everywhere, which is considered for a shipping powerhouse like the British Empire. Not a precious legacy.

However, at this time, Alan Wilson, who had hidden his merits and fame, was approaching Yangon, the capital of British Burma, and came to British Burma to continue to work hard for the British Empire.

Burmese officials waiting to meet Alan Wilson are getting closer to the destination freighter.

Wu Dinglun, who is in his forties this year, did not witness the lobster soldiers of the British Empire marching into Mandalay.

Groups of tall, burly, beef-eating people with flushed faces, wearing red military uniforms, carrying long rifles on their shoulders, and their boots falling to the ground with a sound, and marching without lack of rhythm, announced the fact that Myanmar has perished.

But in Wu Dinglun's growth experience, a concept gradually became clear. He wanted to stand with the British and rely on their influence. Even as a child, he had already regarded this as his greatest ambition.

At that time, Wu Dinglun had already made great plans at that time. At the age of seventeen, he had sought a government position, but failed. Because he was penniless and had no friends, he had no choice but to live in the criss-crossing Manchuria. He worked in Dele Bazaar for three years, helping rice merchants, and sneaking around from time to time.

When he was twenty years old, he was lucky enough to blackmail someone. With four hundred rupees, he immediately went to Rangoon, where he bought a job as a clerk. Although the salary of this job is not high, it is quite lucrative. At that time, there were a bunch of clerks who made self-interest by constantly embezzling government reserves, and he naturally liked it.

After all, Wu Dinglun was so talented that he could not be satisfied with a life of being rich. He found that the government was planning to select some local clerks from Myanmar because of the lack of low-level officials.

In another week, the news will be made public, but he got the news a week earlier than others. Sensing his opportunity, he accused his accomplices before they were alert. As a result, most people were arrested and imprisoned, but he was promoted to assistant township officer as a recognition of his dedication to public service.

Today, he has become one of the few Burmese officials in the capital of Yangon who can sit on an equal footing with the United Kingdom.

His youthful ideal has been realized. Although Burma has been attacked by the Japanese army, he escaped without any danger and became the relying force after the restoration of British Burma.

A pair of sharp eyes that have been tested in the officialdom helped Wu Dinglun to recognize Alan Wilson who got off the boat, and he took the initiative to step forward and politely said in English with some accents, "You are Mr. Alan, Commissioner Burgess asked me to pick him up." you."

Alan Wilson was taken aback, looked up and down the middle-aged man in front of his eyes, noticed the newspaper in Wu Dinglun's hand, and said, "Thank you very much for being so thoughtful. By the way, you are Chinese. You use I know the text."

"Mr. Allen's observation is really sharp." Wu Dinglun was a little surprised, but immediately realized what was wrong, and introduced himself with a smile, "I am a second-generation Chinese, and my children don't know Chinese characters very well. , I don’t know much about the contents of the Chinese newspapers.”

It turned out that he was almost assimilated, Alan Wilson understood in his heart,

But it is a matter of personal choice to take a neutral stance on this kind of matter, and said with a smile, "Then please take me to see Burgess, I haven't seen you for a while."

"The commissioner misses Mr. Alan very much, so arrange for me to meet you here." Wu Dinglun pointed to a car parked in the distance, and invited Alan Wilson to go up with him.

The car started and went along the streets of Yangon to the Governor's Palace of British Myanmar, the current Governor of Myanmar, Hubert Lance.

In fact, Hubert Lance had just taken office. The first governor after the British army returned to Burma, Radnakin Toman Smith, who was also the governor of Burma before the war, returned to his post.

Along with his reinstatement, he also brought back a British "white paper" on the Myanmar issue. London believes that the primary task of Myanmar is to restore order and rebuild. Therefore, during this transitional period, it is necessary for a temporary military government to temporarily manage all government affairs directly and cooperate with all parties in Myanmar. Hold general elections.

Governor Smith became a victim of changing times again, and the governor was replaced by General Hubert Lance. The Burmese people have a good impression of General Hubert Lance. I also learned that the head of Myanmar who has not been in office for a long time is a man named Aung San.

In the Governor's Mansion of British Burma, Alan Wilson saw Burgess who hadn't seen him for a long time. The two hugged each other friendly. Even if they knew that the other party was gay, as long as they didn't have any wrong thoughts about themselves, everything was negotiable.

"How's life in Yangon? McLean's life in Ceylon is pretty good. I've heard about it. I often go to the golf course." Alan Wilson said in a familiar tone, "Of course, we It must also be admitted that the investigation operation in Ceylon was unanimously approved by Ceylon, and McLean has established a wide prestige. But speaking of this, you are not bad, I heard that you are very popular with Burmese people now."

"It's okay, it's comforting for Allen to come here this time. I'm at work every day." Burgess sighed, "It's easier to be a diplomat."

"Especially as a diplomat stationed in a big country." Alan Wilson added a prefix to Burgess' words, "Of course it is the best to be a diplomat stationed in the United States. No, you can still have a party, hehe..."

This hehe is very expressive, of course Burgess can hear Alan Wilson's overtones, but he is not interested in that kind of thing, and said, "When I first took office, I was shocked by the hostility of the Burmese towards us, The place has become a fragmented but hostile place."

"The Japanese have been here, it's very normal." Alan Wilson said, "A world war has changed many things. Not only in Myanmar, but in China, isn't it the same, right?"

The issue of British India and British Burma is not just a local issue, but also a London issue. Like the issue of British India, British Burma is also an important issue that Mr. Churchill fired.

As a member of the Conservative Party, Churchill publicly expressed his opposition to Attlee's attitude towards Burma. What he objected to was not the granting of autonomy to Burma, but the government's eagerness to throw Burma, a dilapidated country that was still recovering, to a group of young radicals.

Churchill insisted that Britain should shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding Burma, let the Burmese understand the true meaning of elections and self-government, and then choose the right time for an orderly handover.

One of the main reasons for the opposition is that some Burmese leaders, represented by General Aung San, had ambiguous relations with the Japanese during the war.

"If you can't appease, you might as well try other methods. Learn from British India. Since it is national self-determination, all ethnic groups in Myanmar should be self-determination." Allen Wilson raised his eyebrows and said, "As far as I know, the people in Myanmar There are quite a few ethnic groups, but not everyone has a good relationship with the Burmese.”

"That's not a good solution. It will only increase future conflicts." Burgess shook his head firmly. a kind of person.

Burgess agreed to deport the Rohingya, partly because Myanmar is indeed extremely dissatisfied with the presence of the Rohingya. Now the UK must find a way to gain a firm foothold and win the support of local people in Myanmar.

On the other hand, the Rohingya are indeed a foreign colonial auxiliary force for the native Burmese. Moreover, Alan Wilson also agreed to accept the Rohingya and pay attention to the settlement of these people in British India.

Thinking of this, Burgess asked, "Have those Rohingya been resettled after returning to British India?"

"It has been fully accommodated by Chief Executive Andrew." Allen Wilson assured him solemnly, "I believe in the ability of Chief Executive Andrew."

That's good, Burgess nodded, and said with a sigh of relief, "Since you're here, let's rest here. I heard that there was a drought in British India, and I suggested that the Governor assist British India."

"British India's population cannot be saved by Burma." Alan Wilson shook his head. "I also believe that Indians have the ability to resist natural disasters. In fact, the worst time has passed, and everything is fine." .”

Unwilling to talk too much on this topic, Alan Wilson immediately changed the subject and asked what the local elites in Myanmar think about the currency reform issue, whether they support it or oppose it.

"It's hard to say. I'm also asking Aung San and the others, but I haven't gotten an answer yet. After all, it's a new thing, and it may take a little time." Burgess said truthfully.
