Chapter 4 Blue Book
The right way is to combine work and rest." Zhao Xiaomei interrupted, "You should always listen to my words from Brother Feng! The days from now on will be long, so you have to take good care of your health."
"I understand." Zheng Pingru nodded and agreed, "I will pay attention in the future."
"As such an adult, others have to worry about it." Wu Ming gently patted Zheng Pingru on the shoulder, "Why aren't he as obedient when he was in Shanghai?"
"Also said." Zheng Pingru gave Wu Ming a angrily look, "Forget it, can't you be afraid of you?"
"If you are afraid, you have to be obedient." Wu Ming smiled slightly and walked back to his seat.
"Has he bullied you in Shanghai?" Zhao Xiaomei came over with a gossip on her face and asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, it's not bullying, it's torture." Zheng Pingru said helplessly: "When I think about it now, it's still ridiculous."
"Well, take the time..." Zhao Xiaomei saw that the meeting had begun, stopped talking and spread out the documents to prepare for a speech.
After the meeting began, Zhao Xiaomei first announced the recent big and small things that happened in Malaya. "...After the white paper was launched, the UK, left-wing parties, and UMNO each had their own opinions. I have already introduced them just now. Now I ask the government assistant Ms. Zheng Pingru to tell you through a professional perspective."
Zheng Pingru nodded politely to everyone and said slowly: "If we look at it from a legal perspective, the white paper launched by the British is simply a scam. The main problem is to only give citizens qualifications but not civil rights. Professionally speaking, citizens' rights can be divided into civil rights and political rights. Civil rights in citizens include property ownership, debt rights, intellectual property rights, personal rights (rights of life and health), name rights, name rights and portrait rights, reputation rights and honor rights, freedom rights, privacy rights, and identity rights between family members, etc. Therefore, civil law is actually the right law. It is also an infringement.
The law of right acts. It legally protects citizens who have been damaged by infringement to receive corresponding compensation. Political rights include: citizens have the right to vote and the right to be elected; freedom of assembly, association, marches, and demonstration; freedom of religious belief; the right to be infringed on personal freedom, personal dignity, and residences; the right to freedom of communication and secrets of communication are protected by law; there is the right to criticize and suggest any state organ and state staff, and to file complaints, accusations or reports of their illegal dereliction of duty, etc.
"To put it bluntly, having citizenship but no civil rights is a slave without the title of slaves." Zhao Xiaomei concluded: "The British's intentions are obvious, but those Malays even have to oppose this, which shows that the hope of solving the rights issue of Chinese people through peaceful means has been shattered."
"Is it too early to draw a conclusion now?" Liu Cheng asked in confusion: "If a conclusion is drawn, then the troops will start to mobilize and assemble, and the British McDonald's attitude is still unclear."
"I'll say a few words about this issue." Wu Ming raised his hand and signaled. "My Chief of Staff. Are you afraid that the troops will act in advance and will bring bad consequences? In my opinion, you can start preparing for action now. Who is MacDonald? The Supreme Commissioner of Southeast Asia in the United Kingdom. Will he start from our perspective to consider the issue? Of course not, he will only consider the interests of the United Kingdom. There are two different forces in the current opposition camp. The real purpose of the left is to end the British rule, which is the real danger; while Sudan and UMNO only demand the restoration of the pre-war protectionist status, and they demand the Malays have privileges. Their finger is not directly targeting Britain, but opposing the ease of giving non-Malay citizens. After thinking so, it will be clear what MacDonald will do."
"It's still the same thing, to win over the Malays and suppress non-Malays." Xiao Minghua sneered: "Brother Han Feng's analysis is very reasonable. In this way, it seems that the time for the British to take action is almost here. The Chinese anti-Japanese army has been disbanded and the weapons have been handed over. What else will the British have to worry about? Separating Singapore, which has the largest proportion of Chinese, from Malaya, is just a trick of poisonous chess. How are Singapore now ready?"
"Isn't it still a direct colony after separation?" Li Xiaohai curled his lips and said, "The just struggle for democratic rights and independence and freedom cannot exclude Singapore. Our party has a good momentum in Singapore, especially the publicity is well-known. There are about 2,000 people in the disbanded Chinese anti-Japanese army who have changed their minds."
"Then prepare for war!" Xiao Minghua's eyes shot sharp light, "Non-combatants and institutions began to evacuate. Xiaomei, you must prepare for public opinion propaganda. After the fight, our propositions, slogans, and goals should be sent to world-renowned media as soon as possible. How about it? Are you sure?"
"No
Now there are many media outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times that have established direct contact with us, thanks to the American friend of Brother Han Feng." Zhao Xiaomei nodded gratefully to Wu Ming.
"Brother Hanfeng, the Chinese in Nanyang owe you too much." Xiao Minghua said to Wu Ming with emotion: "We are going to evacuate one after another, and you still have to direct the counterattack. I'm really sorry."
"Stop coming." Wu Ming waved his hand with a smile, "If Ping Ru and Xiaomei come in a relationship, it's almost the same. You are a big man, don't be so affectionate. Let's briefly explain the action arrangements. For details, we will submit them to the Party Central Committee immediately after the General Staff is formulated."
"Haha, then I'll introduce the general arrangement of the operation." Liu Cheng gently pulled out a document and said with a smile: "The counterattack operation should be as sudden as thunder and as fierce as thunder. The most important thing is that it has a great impact. Therefore, the General Staff decided to carry out a major operation in Kuala Lumpur. There is a British camp nearby, with more than 2,000 troops stationed, more than 1,000 police and security forces, and a military airport. There are also many British institutions in the city. Our specific forces are about 3,000. Currently, there are about 1,000 troops scattered near the target. After the order is issued, within seven days, 3,000 people should be assembled, and it only takes ten days to start the operation."
"Of course, this is just a tentative goal." Wu Ming added: "Our General Staff has also formulated two sets of backup action plans. If the news leaks or the enemy situation changes, we will urgently start filing. In addition, the targets of other detachments have been determined. At that time, at that time, the entire Malaysian government will be full of fire."
"Let us use our passion and loyalty to create a new world of freedom and equality for the Chinese in Southeast Asia!" Xiao Minghua stood up suddenly and waved his fists, "The command of action is Long Teng Nanyang, long live independence, long live freedom and equality!"
"Long live, independence, freedom, equality!" Everyone waved their fists and shouted in a loud voice.

London sent Southeast Asia Supreme Commissioner MacDonald to Malaya to deal with the resistance of all parties in Malaya. As Wu Ming and others analyzed, after he came to Malaya, he found that the left-wing forces in the opposition camp were truly threatening British colonial rule; while Sudan and UMNO demanded the restoration of the pre-war protection state. They demanded the Malays to enjoy privileges and oppose the ease of giving non-Malay citizenship. MacDonald remembers instructing Governor Jente to abandon the original policy of the "Malayan Federation" and transfer it to the British colonial government. Representatives of Malay Sudan and UMNO formed a new "Constitutional Working Committee" to re-draft a new constitution. This "Constitutional Working Committee" excluded the left and non-Malays (i.e., Chinese and Indians) from the outside.
The "Constitutional Working Committee" was finally announced in 1946. The paper was released. The Blue Book changed the Malay Federation to the Federation of Malaysia, and Singapore was still divided. The Federation had a strong central government, and the British appointed the supreme ruler to hold administrative and legislative powers. It was no longer called the Governor and was renamed the High Commissioner. The Sultans of the Turkish states generally restored their former nominal ruler status. The Blue Book emphasized the privileges of the Malays and stipulated more stringent conditions for non-Malays to obtain citizenship than the White Paper.
This blue book immediately aroused opposition from non-Malays, mainly Chinese. Left-wing organizations such as the "Malaysia Joint Action Committee" and the "Malaysia Chinese Association" immediately called for a strike and class strike. The arteries of the entire Singapore suddenly stopped, and other Malayan cities were paralyzed. However, after the British colonial authorities pulled the Malays to their side, they ignored the general suspension and resolutely established the United States of Malays and implemented a new constitution that favored the Malays. At the end of December 1946, it suddenly declared a state of emergency in Perak, and implemented an emergency decree on the entire Malay Peninsula, instructing the military and police to arbitrarily arrest and kill people.
As a result, spies, police and military personnel from all over the country launched a large-scale attack on trade unions, left-wing parties, people's organizations, searched for Communists, democrats, and anti-British elements, and announced that the Malayan National Liberation Party, the Communist Party, the Malayan Kuomintang, the Malaysian Federation of Trade Unions, the Malayan Chinese Anti-Japanese Veterans Association, the Youth League and other party groups were illegal organizations, bloody suppression and massacre of innocent people mainly Chinese, only
