"If we had withdrawn all the committee's funds from the beginning and prepared to fight, we might have used up all our bullets in the first wave. If we could stabilize the situation through political means, we might be more confident. I

It’s not that I don’t want to take out the money, but it’s out of overall consideration.”

Alan Wilson explained his thoughts, "Economic crises always happen unexpectedly. Perhaps it is like the Soviet Union said that periodic economic crises have become an unsolvable problem. So how did the Soviet Union solve it? From colleagues abroad at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Among them, I heard that countries in the Soviet bloc generally experience austerity and the supply of materials on the market is not abundant, while the free world is just the opposite. If we have a way to combine the two, there may be unexpected results."

Norman Brook listened silently to Alan Wilson's words, and thought for a while and said, "Of course I don't understand the situation. If there is a way to prevent this economic crisis from spreading to the UK, of course any method can be used.

.Alan, you haven’t come across any specific ideas.”

"In fact, under the guidance of colleagues, the vast majority of colonies have only been developed initially, at a very low level in the name of building a capital city. The potential is still quite large. For this economic crisis, we need a large population to at least partially replace the original British

There is a crisis of colonial transfer in India, but because the current colonies are no longer comparable in size to British India, the intensity must be increased."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "I learned through the Nigerian Commissioner that the population of the Dominion of Nigeria is 41 million people, which is already quite large. If development efforts are increased, it can provide a lot of demand.

, the original large-scale construction of British India actually only covered the industrial area with Calcutta as the core, covering less than 100 million people, and ultimately nothing was accomplished. If this economic crisis can be alleviated within a year, then

It can be concluded that the Dominion of Nigeria still has this ability."

"If it fails? Will the gains outweigh the losses?" Norman Brooke asked the essential question.

"Dear Cabinet Secretary, Nigeria has become an autonomous dominion and will be independent in less than five years. If there is a problem that leads to failure, I believe in the wisdom of Nigeria's independence leaders." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "Then

It is Nigeria's own business, and there is no need to worry too much, maybe other countries will foot the bill."

Alan Wilson did not believe that other countries would be indifferent to an independent Nigeria.

Once Nigeria becomes independent, it will be the most populous country in Africa. When the population reaches a certain level, development will have to overcome many additional difficulties, which may not necessarily be a good thing for individuals, but it is quite the opposite for the country.

The easiest way to improve national power is to accumulate population. If you don’t believe it, just look at the third brother who is the king and hegemon in South Asia. He is so poor that he is still wandering around in South Asia.

He remembered that Nigeria also leaned towards the Soviet Union during a certain period of time during the Cold War. Moreover, China did not have a shadow presence in Nigeria. China's African strategy was simply to find a fulcrum in East Africa, South Africa and West Africa.

During the Cold War, South Africa was a white country, so the fulcrum of South Africa for China to leverage was Angola. The fulcrum of East Africa was Tanzania, and the fulcrum of West Africa was Nigeria.

Therefore, there is no successor in Nigeria. Once you screw up, you can leave behind someone to maintain your influence. Then just wait for the successor to come to your door.

"If Nigeria is not enough, General Aung San and I also have a relationship, and Myanmar also has a market of 18 million people. Now there is a fundamental gap between the Malayan colonies and its surrounding countries."

Alan Wilson continued, "With the Dominion of Nigeria as the mainstay and Myanmar as the supplement, a market of 60 million people should be enough to survive the economic crisis if it does not last more than a year. Nigeria's advantage is that Nigeria itself has been converted to an autonomous territory.

The Dominion is re-privatizing nationalized enterprises established after the war, which will inevitably lead to the loss of a large amount of assets."

"Furthermore, Nigeria is divided into three parts of the world. The three ethnic groups are equally powerful. Each ethnic group wants to take the lead after independence. It is not difficult for us to find agents. If that doesn't work, we may need an oil scam.

.”

At this point, Alan Wilson paused slightly and asked Norman Brooke, "Dear Cabinet Secretary, if there are some sequelae, such as famine or loss of international hot money, will it damage my reputation?"

"If this kind of thing really happens, Alan, you also know that all kinds of documents will be archived." Norman Brooke heard that this was to wipe his own butt, and immediately expressed his position at the critical moment, "Of course, and the British are affected

Compared with the impact of the economic crisis, these irresistible factors are always worthy of forgiveness, and you don't want this."

"Of course I don't want this. I think the famine losses should be smaller than those in British India." Alan Wilson was relieved. It was time to show his true strength. "This is my answer. If we can develop the market and hedge against the economic crisis,

Influence, my personal reputation, what does it matter?"

"Whitehall needs courageous officials like you." Norman Brooke encouraged. "For the cabinet, once it uses funds locally but cannot prevent the crisis, it is also a very courageous decision. You and I will

Meet the Prime Minister once."

"No problem." Alan Wilson yawned, "I need to prepare some documents to convince the cabinet."

After leaving Whitehall, Alan Wilson asked Kuala Lumpur and Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, to provide property and population information of the two places. Alan Wilson was slightly familiar with the situation in Myanmar. The biggest difference was that General Aung San was not assassinated.

If General Aung San's daughter was not older than his and Vivien Leigh's child, he would even consider letting He Guobao's son grow up and capture General Aung San's daughter.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The problem is that Vivien Leigh’s son is not old enough. What if he takes action on his own? Although later European and American white people regarded Southeast Asia as a large red light district, and they did a lot, they would definitely be shot in their own countries.

But Alan Wilson still couldn't bring himself to learn from these animals.

Myanmar, under the rule of General Aung San, has developed by leaps and bounds. Not really, but the Burmese are definitely better than the Indians. The conflicts between the Burmese and other ethnic groups still exist, but they are far less intense than in later generations. Aung San himself is still

Try not to use military means to solve problems.

In fact, based on General Aung San's ideas, Myanmar may introduce Japanese capital in the future. But the premise is that Japan must develop to a certain extent. The current Japan has definitely not developed to that extent, and still owes Australia a lot of compensation.

In order to put more burden on Japan, Pamela Mountbatten would make a point every year, when Japan was due to pay back the money, to hype Japan's cruelty to Australian prisoners of war, to prevent the Australians from becoming soft-hearted and giving up compensation.

The siphon effect has initially appeared in the Malayan colonies. This is the inevitable result of local economic development on the surrounding areas. Examples are the impoverished areas around the imperial capital and the impoverished areas around Guangzhou. Don’t think that there are no magic cities, but the radiation range of the magic cities

The real poverty-stricken areas of the Big and Magic City are further away.

After waiting for a day, I got the basic information Alan Wilson needed via telegram from Lagos and Kuala Lumpur.

After sorting it out, Alan Wilson appeared in front of Norman Brooke again with the information, and the two went to No. 10 Downing Street, the official residence of Prime Minister Attlee.

In fact, for Attlee and the Labor government, British citizens have become slack since their third re-election.

The current Britain is much better than the original historical Britain, but British citizens don’t know this. The only person in the world who knows about this is Alan Wilson. The idea of ​​British citizens is that under any government, Britain can recover from the war.

Get out of the quagmire.

The affirmation of the Labor Party's work went from high expectations in the first term to continued support in the second term. After three consecutive terms, it finally turned into numbness. Since then, the Labor Party's support rate has been at odds with the Conservative Party.

open.

This economic crisis originating from the United States is naturally incomparable with the gloom and misery of the Great Depression, but it is also much more difficult to deal with than the two economic crises after the war. The economic crisis of 1948 was purely the United States' own problem, and Europe had not yet

No matter how we recover, the economic crisis of 1954 will disappear immediately.

This time, the economic crisis spread rapidly from the beginning, affecting all countries almost immediately.

"Maybe we have to learn from the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and came up with his own plans, including but not limited to expanding exports to Eastern Europe and expanding domestic demand in the British Empire.

"I plan to work with my African colleagues to follow the example of the Soviet Union in the Nigerian Dominion and carry out a five-year plan." Alan Wilson spoke in front of the Prime Minister and emphasized, "Just like what happened in British India in 1947

, promote large-scale construction, and quickly drive demand through large-scale construction to cope with this economic crisis."

"Five-year plan?" Prime Minister Attlee asked after hearing this, waiting for Alan Wilson's explanation.

"The five-year plan will not work without a heavy blow this time." Alan Wilson said without changing his original intention, "Nigeria must be allowed to swallow up all the stagflation in the country, and all the resources existing in the Nigerian Dominion must be mortgaged. Otherwise,

, the three ethnic groups in Nigeria, we can hand over Nigeria to anyone.”

"Hiss..." Prime Minister Attlee took a breath, looked at the terrifying pillars of Whitehall practicing reverse magic, and confirmed again, "Planned economy?"

Alan Wilson stood there with his hands hanging down naturally, "Technically speaking, I am not willing to deny this rhetoric, but it is different for the UK to do this."

"What's the difference?" Prime Minister Attlee was confused and wanted to hear Alan Wilson's explanation.
