Chapter 37 Minister of Foreign Affairs
This is how war is, it is never as simple as one plus one equals two. The Malay army, which cannot compete with the National People's Liberation Army, collapsed under fierce attacks, and the speed of its defeat surprised everyone.
On June 1, more than 20,000 Malay troops from Dahan Mountain raised the white flag and surrendered to the National People's Liberation Army.
On June 5, the National Liberation Army captured Johor Baru. Of course, the later battles were no longer good, and there was no big difference between them. On the same day, a guerrilla team from Singapore entered Singapore City amid the warm cheers of the Chinese. At this point, except for Kalimantan, all Malaysian towns were basically controlled by the National Liberation Army.
Subsequently, the Independent Democratic Party issued martial law orders, and implemented a six-month state of emergency throughout Malaysia. All troops began to eliminate the remaining enemies, maintain public order, suppress the restless factors among the Malays, and established the Malay Federal Provisional Military Government, began to exercise government power, and announced to the world that the founding ceremony would be held in Kuala Lumpur on July 15, inviting representatives of political leaders from all countries to participate. The date of the national election is tentatively set for January 1, 1949, and preparations will begin from now on.
"1. Malays who participated in the police army deprived of political rights for one year and were imprisoned for half a year; 2. Malays who assisted the Japanese army in suppressing the anti-Japanese movement deprived of political rights for two years on Japanese rape and wrote a letter of repentance to reform themselves; 3. During the occupation of British colonists, Malays who helped the British suppress the Chinese independence and liberation movement deprived of political rights for two years and were imprisoned for one; 4. Malays who announced their escape to Kalimantan Island and refused to return to China were illegal political parties and wanted for treason; 5. To the whole world
The Chinese have issued a call, hoping that they can return to Malaya, build Malaya, and make a home in Malaya; 6. Send a delegation to conduct diplomatic activities to win the recognition and support of the international community, especially Western countries; 7. Vigorously recruit young Chinese people into the police and security forces, and incorporate 10,000 second-line troops into the security forces. We will effectively ensure the safety of Chinese people in all towns and severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities; 8. Establish a temporary parliament within one month, formulate an interim constitution, and elect an interim president; 9...."
After Zhao Xiaomei finished reciting, she smiled and said to everyone: "The war is basically over, and now it is all these trivial things. However, everyone cannot relax. This is a big question about whether Chinese people can gain an absolute advantage in the election."
"There are so many Malays with voters, and the number of Malays who are qualified for voters has been reduced. In addition, we have a large number of immigrants, and hope to win the election with an undisputed advantage." Xiao Minghua concluded: "The Speaker of the Interim Parliament has been finalized and Mr. Tan Kah Kee is the Interim President..."
"You are the interim president. You are the land president of the Democratic Independence Party. Do you want to be lazy?" Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not that he wants to be lazy, but Brother Liu, you want to be lazy!" Li Xiaohai looked at Wu Ming and smiled and said, "That's not possible. You still have to continue to help us. The position of interim foreign minister is yours."
"No, right? Isn't it already decided that Pingru has been appointed?" Wu Ming frowned slightly, "Why have you changed your mind again?"
Cough. Xiao Minghua coughed and said solemnly: "Pingru will not hold any position in the government in the future because, because she will be the temporary first lady."
"Temporary, first lady?" Wu Ming blinked, "You are the interim president, so she is yours... Hey, when will she promise you?"
"This, with my tireless efforts, she had already agreed to me last night." Xiao Minghua scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "So, she did not attend the meeting today. As for the wedding, she will have to wait until Pingru's parents arrive before agreeing."
"Hey, hey, hey." Wu Ming smacked his lips and exclaimed: "I had known that you two were getting along, but I didn't expect that they would have cheated me at this time. Where is my beach villa and my leisure life?"
"There are villas by the sea, and the government has arranged them for you, and there are leisure life, but it's not now." Zhao Xiaomei said with a smile: "You have to go out for a walk, the United States, Britain, France, China... This is a very important thing, economic assistance, military assistance, scientific and technological assistance, and personnel assistance. Without you, who can do such a big thing."
"Stop flattering, don't you just want to put the reins on me and pull the cart hard!" Wu Ming sighed softly, "Okay, I'll go out for public travel."
"We have a lot of things when you go on a trip!" Xiao Minghua patted the documents on the table. "Immigration from Singapore to central and southern Malaya is difficult to deal with. There are also universities, scientific research institutions, and resettlement of Chinese people who have moved from all over the country. I thought about it and had a headache."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Liu Cheng smiled and comforted: "Brother Liu resigned from his position as commander-in-chief and I took over the army. This is also a heavy burden, but Brother Liu, you, as an adviser, cannot ignore him!"
"I care, I ask." Wu Ming nodded helplessly, "When I come to the United States, I just want you to have planes and warships? As for Kalimantan, my advice is not to do anything first. Staying there by Malay parties is still good for the election, and a group of jumping clowns, when do you want to clean up, it is not like pinching your hands?"
"Let them gather a little longer first, and finally get all the money in one go." Xiao Minghua nodded and agreed: "Brother Liu is thinking about it. By the way, why do you say there may be oil in the East Coast? We sent a telegram to Mr. Chen and asked him to hire an exploration team when he came back. If oil is really discovered, our future in Malaya will be full of light."
"This, according to my night viewing of the astrological signs!" Wu Ming saw someone wanting to laugh, so he changed his words: "You know that I had dealt with Japanese people when I was in mainland China. This situation was also something I accidentally saw in a confidential document of the Japanese. Of course, the Japanese were not very sure at the time, but it would be no harm for us to try."
"That's right!" Xiao Minghua nodded as if it were unbelievable, "If the Japanese had confirmed it, it would have been mined long ago and would not have been left to us." A man's anti-Japanese war, Long Teng Nanyang, Chapter 37, Minister of Foreign Affairs
