Chapter 34 Peace Agreement
When the entire Chinese Democratic Independent Party reached a consensus and formulated a series of subsequent policies and regulations based on the idea of "not our race, their hearts will be different". Of course, some things are strictly confidential and must not be circulated outside the world.
Malays and non-Malays have always been opposite each other now and in the future, and there is no problem of unity among ethnic groups. If you want to be stable and want the Malays to no longer be treated unfairly in history, you must be the Malays who completely surrender. The Chinese must be the main ethnic group that holds an absolute dominant position, the army, police, constitution, and special forces must exclude the Malays, and these departments must be absolutely controlled by the Chinese.
In order to increase the proportion of Chinese on the Malayan Peninsula faster, the meeting also formulated policies, policies, slogans to approve the large number of Chinese immigrants to Malaya after independence, as well as secret conditions to restrict Malay eligibility for elections.
Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he hoped was an uncompromising and powerful Chinese regime. As for those Malays, if you are well-behaved, then live a good life in Malaya and wait to be assimilated or overwhelmed by the Chinese!
The British government faces a crushing defeat in Malaya and an increasingly surging anti-war wave at home. They must make a choice between escalating war or nearly retreating. They called out the Secretary of Defense Clifford, who formed a task force to thoroughly evaluate the UK's choice. The results of the Clifford 11-member Committee's examination further confirm the pessimistic view: "Britain's current strategy cannot successfully consume the enemy's troops that are stronger and stronger than the war, or disintegrate its will to war. Continuing escalation will cause far more difficulties for the British government than
National People's Liberation Army. It will greatly strengthen the intensified anti-war movements and dissatisfaction in the UK, and arouse huge crises and risks in the country. Even the army in Malaya has lost the confidence to win and the courage to fight. If the war continues, it is not ruled out that a large number of soldiers will surrender. "The memorandum advocates that the strategic purpose should be changed from winning military victory to negotiating settlement, so that the Malayan people can freely decide their political system. Britain should stay out of the matter, so as not to have hostility to the UK after the independent Malayan government."
The MPs who advocated the escalation of war quickly drafted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, which was sent to Clement Richard Attlee as a formal suggestion. The memorandum's determination to escalate was amazing: it required an immediate increase of 22,000 troops. The remaining 180,000 people were left to the decision after further discussion of the Malayan war policy. 2620,000 reserves were immediately recruited; the local bombing of the National Liberation Army was strengthened while the rainy season ended. The conditions for peace talks were not lowered.
However, this aggressive memorandum obviously forgot whether it was possible. This kind of gambler-like desperate bet has no market in the country. The Times first revealed the news that the government wanted to increase its troops in large numbers. The title was: "The government requested 206,000 more troops in a desperate situation!" which alarmed the whole country and aroused a lot of opposition; the other news said: "Baoer, the commander of the British army in Malaya, was very panicked and asked for the use of 20,600 troops to rescue the siege!"
Of course, the reason why the British will to war collapse was not due to misleading from the press. It was because of the indomitable fighting will demonstrated by the National Liberation Army, and the extremely expensive Malayan War was still an endless battle for the British, or the possibility of winning!
Marathon negotiations with the British are still in progress. The British are in trouble internally and externally. Although they have decided to retreat, they are still delaying in order to gain time for the armed Malay army. However, discerning people have seen that the British are just trivial matters and have nothing to do with the overall independence of Malaya.
The National People's Liberation Army is also integrating military forces. The number and quality of the army are constantly improving. After the three-month negotiations, the regular army has reached 40,000 and reserve forces more than 40,000. In order to avoid the British suddenly turning against each other and bombing with planes, most of the troops' camps were set up in the jungle, and they began to gradually move towards central Malaya along the rugged mountain roads of the East Coast Mountains and the Central Mountains, infiltration and gathering in the south, thus bypassing the fortress of Dahan Mountain and reaching a favorable position.
Using manpower and material resources to appease rural areas; ensuring public security in densely populated towns; strengthening the Malay army and gradually shifting the burden of war has become the fundamental strategy of the British from Malaya.
Afterwards, the British accelerated their preparations before retreating. They gave away a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Malay army, and transferred government positions to the pro-British Malay political parties to the management of pro-British Malay parties. The most important thing was that a large number of Malay troops began to enter various positions of the British army, and the British army retreated to the second line to supervise and guide.
On March 15, 1948, Zheng Pingru, Sir Edward Gent and Umno's Tunku Duck Durahman signed 10 agreements for the final solution in Paris. The fundamental spirit is that all British troops withdraw from Malaya, and the final problem is left to the Malayan national election or the Chinese Independent Democratic Party and Umno and other political parties in Malaya to negotiate and resolve!
This means: After the British withdraw, they will still have to compete!
The Malays have already felt the danger of being discarded, and a senior UMNO figure once complained in private and angrily: "It is better to let the British defend themselves - and we have heard many important people with great responsibility in Malaya say that we have nothing to say except betrayal and betrayal."
In this war, Britain received nothing except for paying a heavy price in many aspects. British political observers naturally talked about it and it was difficult to quote one by one, but there are several views worthy of describing. Some people think: "The most obvious flaw in the Paris peace talks agreement is that it does not explain the prospects of the National Liberation Army or the Malay army in any clear way." Some people think: "What Britain gives the National Liberation Army is to withdraw all the troops; what the National Liberation Army gives Britain is a big trick to keep Wu Hong in power! And their own plan is; OK, let the British withdraw first, let UMNO stay for the time being, and let him disappear on his own next year or the year after this year."
Perhaps Britain also knew that after they escaped, UMNO might not be able to support it for long, but he was willing to accept the National People's Liberation Army's trick - to borrow a step and leave quickly!
Tunku Ya Durahman said almost two things, saying: "The British had vowed to let the British army reenter Malaya when necessary. They solemnly promised that if the National Liberation Army undermined the peace agreement and resolved the problem by force, the UK would make a strong response."
Even if the British failed to do this later, the Malays seemed to blame themselves while complaining. Before the signing of the peace agreement, the British side gave them huge military equipment and helped them train 100,000 troops. Because of the incompetence of the Malays, these equipment were almost in time and handed over to the National People's Liberation Army. Who would you blame?
In Kuala Lumpur, on this day, a flag collection ceremony was held in front of the building of the Aid Command of the Malay Army. The last US commander in Vietnam, Ball, half-kneeled, holding the rice flag in his hand, lowered his proud head, kissing the corner of the flag, with sad tears in his eyes. Then, he went to the airport to send off the first batch of British soldiers. The soldiers boarded the plane back to the motherland with an unspeakable melancholy and comfort. They also looked back silently at the door of the cabin, not nostalgia, but wanted to remember this painful history for the rest of their lives. Among them, a major with a tired face and mixed joy shouted fiercely and joyfully towards the misty distant place: "Farewell, the jungle of Malaya!"
Meanwhile, in the northern port of Kota Balu, the first released British prisoners of war were boarded a British passenger ship under the care of Lucina.
"Miss Lucina, I remember you refused to release early twice, and now you can finally return to China." Zhao Xiaomei said with a smile: "Maybe you will come back again, as a tourist or here to settle down, we welcome you here."
"The war is finally over, no matter whether it is the British or the Chinese, there is no need to shed blood." Lucina said with emotion: "I have to say that you are a group of brave people and a group of civilized people with high quality. I would like to express my gratitude to the British prisoners of war for being treated humanitarian."
"Yes, the war is over." Zhao Xiao smiled lightly with a pointing smile, and reached out to signal Lucina to get on the ship.
"The war is not over, and there will be no peace here." Desen, who walked by the side, suddenly stopped and said loudly: "The end of this war is the beginning of the next war. Your war with Britain has come to an end, and the war with the Malays has just begun. Although I don't know what the British government is thinking, arming a group of mobs to compete with you, you have to thank the British government for their whimsical stupidity, and a large number of weapons and equipment can be obtained without any effort."
"Peace, negotiation, negotiation." Zhao Xiaomei shook her head gently, "Don't think of us as a group of militants, Lieutenant Desen."
"The Malays will give you a chance to fight." Desen smiled sly, "Maybe you will find the right excuse yourself, General Andy Lau, I admire him very much. I visited his Rangers training in India. If I had known that he was commanding here, I might not have lost so badly when I entered the jungle."
