Chapter 737 Malaya is ours (Third update, please subscribe)

Epoch-making, revolutionary... these terms were already used by the British and even the British during the test flight of the "Comet" passenger aircraft. Newspapers all over the world have used it.

In short, in one sentence - they are all words of praise.

This world is always about the first and the pioneers in the industry. Such high praise.

But those are all in English, which does not prevent Nanyang from repeating these terms in Chinese. Moreover, the C717 passenger aircraft is the first aircraft in the world to use a turbofan engine. This is of course also epoch-making and revolutionary. .

Moreover, it is the second type of jet aircraft in the world. After all, Canada's C102 was stillborn long ago. Naturally, Nanyang’s C717 is ranked second in the world!

What is the focus of public opinion?

This is another breakthrough that Nanyang has made in the aviation field. This also shows that what the people of Nanyang care about is different. Ordinary people may not see its epoch-making significance, but they do. Now comes something that makes them proud - Nanyang once again has a world number one.

In fact, compared to the successful test flight of the C717 passenger aircraft, what people care about is the world's number one.

It’s hard to say what kind of impact an airliner will have on the public. Anyway, in the eyes of many ordinary people, being the first in the world is enough.

But no matter what, this jet airliner made in Nanyang has once again introduced the world's civil aviation into the jet age, giving a strong boost.

Compared to the conservative nature of the "Comet" test flight, just half a month after the first successful test flight, the behemoth C717 made its first long-distance flight and landed at Yong'an Airport. .

After having a successful experience in long-distance flight, in the following days, the five C717 prototypes began to conduct frequent test flights, from the main island to the outer islands.

Finally, on February 5th, after completing the long-distance test flight from Chang'an to Dongning, this big aircraft that was far ahead of its time finally landed at Kuala Lumpur Airport. Its appearance immediately attracted people's attention. Many locals pointed at it.

Just as Li Yi'an expected, the landing of C717 made the Malays look solemn and complicated, but then, there was a look of relief, and everything seemed to be okay. Accepted.

In fact, after the Malay upper class "appreciated" the atomic bomb test last year, they accepted the reality. When the Tang people protested to demand that the Federation of Federation amend the constitution and abolish the special status of the Malays, only a few people resisted. Later, it was verified that those people were still influenced by red elements. In short, except for a few people, the vast majority of Malays support racial equality.

It must be said that strength is the root of everything.

The docility of the Malays definitely surprised everyone, and even made the newly appointed Malay High Commissioner Gerald Templer say sourly.

"It only takes tens of thousands of troops to make everyone obedient."

But no matter how bitter it is, it can't change the expansion of Tang influence in Malaya - According to Li Yi'an In the agreement reached with Attlee, as early as Fatty Yau won the election and formed the government, Attlee instructed the Colonial Office to appoint a deputy high commissioner on the grounds of "maintaining the stability of the Malayan Confederation", and stipulated that - the deputy high commissioner The High Commissioner must be chosen from the major ethnic groups of the population at that time, and Lim Chong Yew, the Vice President of the MCA, was appointed as the Deputy High Commissioner.

At that time, people from all walks of life in London thought that "if the Deputy High Commissioner does not appoint a Malay official, it will be a slap in the face to the Malays." But no one expected that they actually endured it.

Let alone looking at it from the time, even looking at it now, this is still hard to believe.

“Even if they can’t bear it, what can they do?”

Lin Cangyou, who attended the first flight ceremony as deputy commissioner at Kuala Lumpur Airport, faced Consul Cheng Kewu beside him smiled.

“There are 40,000 troops stationed here in Nanyang. Even if they have opinions, they dare not say anything.”

The Malay population is only about three million. If something really happens, that is, how many magazines of bullets each person needs, most of the time, people can weigh the pros and cons.

"Commissioner Lin, just relying on the Nanyang garrison is not enough. The key is to rely on yourselves."

Cheng Kewu said.

"Now that Templer is expanding the police and security defense forces, the Tang people must control 70% of the force, do you understand?"

Because Templer is the first simultaneous A colonial official who served as high commissioner and military commander, his move to strengthen the police force as soon as he took office also allowed Chang'an to see opportunities.

"I understand that at the meeting a few days ago I put forward new requirements for police assessment - all police officers must understand English. 100% of our young people in Tang Dynasty have read books, while less than 30% of Malays have taken the Education, so from this point of view, they can be excluded. Even those who have joined the police force can prevent them from being promoted. As for the British..."

Lin Cangyou said with a smile.

"Of course the British are not opposed to using English as an assessment condition. As for professional level, many of us in the Tang Dynasty graduated from the Senior Police School in Chang'an, so they will naturally be given priority. Please rest assured that the police force It will never fall into the hands of outsiders."

Nodding, Cheng Kewu stopped talking. The reason why Nanyang chose Lin Cangyou as deputy high commissioner was very simple - although he was a doctor, As Chen Cheng's personal doctor, he has been with the army for many years. His experience in political struggles is far beyond that of others, and he knows very well where the source of power lies.

Since he took office, he has constantly attacked the colonial authorities and fought for the interests of the Tang people. This is much better than Chen Zhenlu, who advocates cooperation. That guy only cooperates and does not fight, while Lin Cangyou fights constantly. , cooperation continues.

After giving this guarantee, Lin Cangyou thought for a while and said.

"But there is still a problem." "You said."

"That is, our population advantage is very weak. As long as they have a few years, a dozen Twenty years later, the results are very different, and now they insist on resisting Singapore's annexation to Malaya to ensure future demographic advantage. In this case, I am worried about the future..."

When mentioning the population of Tang people in Malaya, Lin Cangyou frowned and said.

"Malays are very fertile. Moreover,"

After thinking about it, Lin Cangyou continued.

“Now we are so good to them. As long as they come to work in the city, we not only give them low-rent housing, but also give them free hair oil. Are we urging them to have more children? To win people’s hearts. You can’t win over like this.”

Even if the oil was provided by Nanyang, in Lin Cangyou’s opinion, it was a bit too much. After all, people are all cheap.

“If we are too nice to them, they will definitely think that we are weak and can be bullied.”

"Wouldn't that be just right!"

Cheng Kewu nodded and said,

"You know, we have been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for them to be unable to bear it any longer and stand still. Come out, just like Mindanao, what is the final result?”

Sometimes, the most troublesome thing is not resistance, but meekness.

“Those people, they seem to be submissive, but that submissiveness is false, because any promises they make to outsiders can be broken.”

Lin Cangyou nodded in agreement with the consul's words.

“Yes, this is their principle.”

“So, right now, it doesn’t matter what means or whatnot. The most important thing is the birth rate,”< br>
Cheng Kewu said with some emotion.

"If the birth rate does not go up, no matter how well we use our methods now, we will not be able to change the future. We may not be able to control others, but we should still try our best to encourage our own people, as well as those in Tang Renzhong Singles should help them get married and have children as much as possible, even if it means buying... more dowry gifts. ”

In fact, there are still many bachelors among the Tang people in Malaya. Their ages range from their twenties to their fifties. They are of various ages, but they often cannot find wives, especially in plantations. There are not a few such people.

“I know,”

Lin Cangyou glanced out of the car window and said.

“When we first came here, most of them were locals who relied on betrothal gifts to marry, but now they are just people who the Mayans are not willing to marry their daughters to us.”
< br>Looking at the frowning Lin Cangyou, Cheng Kewu said,

"Actually, we can look further afield, and it doesn't have to be limited to Malaya. Now that there are jet planes, transportation is no longer a problem. From Malaysia to Saigon to Yangon, there are only a few It’s just a small hour.”

After thinking about it, Cheng Kewu continued.

“Not only can we bring women from other places to Malaysia. We can also bring over Tang people from other places. Aren’t there many Tang people along the Myanmar border? We can bring them over. In short, as long as we try our best Just increase the population."

After hearing what the consul said, Lin Cangyou said.

"It is no better than in the past. Not to mention that the Malays are definitely not willing to let us introduce a large number of people. Even the Commissioner's Office will probably not agree. The British are always wary of us. , Didn’t you see that the high commissioner didn’t come to the airport today?”

Cheng Kewu said after hearing him mention Templer's vigilance towards the Tang people, or should I say, Nanyang.

"Templer's attitude will not affect the overall situation. Now the British have plans for us. They want to use our hands to deal with the Malays, keep this colony, and play balance..."

Looking out the car window, Cheng Kewu said.

"He really thinks that Britain today is still the British Empire of yesterday! Some methods were effective in the past, but that does not mean they are effective now. Britain... is no longer the Britain of yesterday, and the old methods of the past will naturally not be the same. It’s useless. No matter how hard the British try, they can’t change the fact that Malaya belongs to us!”
