For Nanyang, once a decision is made, opinions and the like are no longer important.

This is related to the military tradition of Nanyang - most of the early Nanyang officials came from the Allied contingents, and the soldiers were accustomed to obeying orders.

Because of this, what Li Yian does depends entirely on what he wants to do. If he can, he can do everything. There is no need to worry about anyone's objections at all, because basically there will be no objections. After all, in the past few years, the correctness of his decisions has been proven time and time again.

Because of this, absolutely no one here will question his decision.

In fact, for this Nanyang Long Aotian, these are all basic operations and will not be questioned, nor will they be questioned. All that is required is execution.

After making the decision to interfere, no, to build Malaya, Li Nian, who deeply felt that Malaya would be Nanyang's shield in the Malay Peninsula in the future, formulated corresponding plans through the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and began targeted Formulate an industry transfer plan.

In fact, it is better to describe it as an "industrial transfer plan" than an "backward production capacity elimination plan". After all, the first batch of transferred manufacturing equipment is essentially backward and tends to be eliminated. Of course, it is indispensable, including Some enterprises with serious pollution.

However, although it is elimination, after all, it involves Nanyang's overall presence in Malaya. Although it is important to eliminate backward industries, it is also necessary to ensure that those industries can make full use of the advantages of local cheap manpower.

At the same time, this also involved the Malayan Tang community. Fortunately, in the past few years, the overseas Chinese affairs department had very close ties with Malaya, so a telegram from British Malaya was quickly received. In the telegram, the overseas Chinese affairs officer of the consulate in Kuala Lumpur said that the local overseas Chinese community was very interested in the transfer of industries in Nanyang and expressed their willingness to invest.

Although the Malayan overseas Chinese community is very interested in the transfer of industries in Nanyang, in fact, Nanyang has just formulated a plan for the textile industry in Malaya. The textile industry mainly consists of four major phosphate mines, namely yarn, fabrics, home textiles and ready-made garments. Among them, the spinning and weaving industries account for a relatively low proportion, while the development of the printing, dyeing and garment industries is relatively well-founded.

From the perspective of industrial development, the textile industry has always been the most basic industrial entry industry. Going further, the British Industrial Revolution originated from the textile industry. It was driven by "demand-stimulated inventions" that the textile industry as the core began. Industrial Revolution. To put it more recently, the beginning of Japanese industry was also the textile industry. Industrial construction funds were accumulated through the textile industry. In the end, it took only thirty years to complete the industrialization of the country and successively defeated the Qing Dynasty and the Tsarist Russian Empire on the battlefield. .

As an old British colony, the British Federation of Malaya certainly had textile factories. However, these factories were not large-scale - after all, there was dumping of Japanese goods before the war. Although people in the Tang Dynasty later refused to buy Japanese goods, Tangshan goods quickly replaced Japanese goods and became the mainstream of the market. After the war, Nanyang goods again Become the mainstream of the market. Due to various factors, the local textile industry has never developed.

Although the textile industry in Malaya is not good, pineapple canning, sugar refining, rubber industry, wood processing, tin mining and other industries are their traditional advantages in Vietnam. After taking a little inventory in Malaya, Li Yi discovered that the local The basic conditions are still good.

Not to mention that these industries basically belong to the Tang people. As long as they are properly supported and some of the backward production capacity is eliminated in Malaya, it will be easy to make Malaya, which has only a population of more than 6 million, become wealthy.

Of course, Malaya in later generations would just stop at being better than the better than the worst. In fact, if the Malays had not suppressed the Chinese, enacted discriminatory laws, and had not expelled Singapore, Malaysia would have had the opportunity to go further. After all, in terms of construction capabilities and economic development, the Tang people's advantages were beyond their reach.

In the end, Malaya will stop at the "Four Little Dragons", and after that, there will be no more.

However, the level of Malaysia in later generations is completely sufficient for Li Nian. Although it started at about the same time as Japan and earlier than South Korea, the bottom line is that Malaya is a tool used by Li Nian to intercept Japan.

The future development will at best be better than that of South Korea!

In fact, in Li Nian's plan, Malaya in the future will be the pinnacle of Nanyang's control of Malacca. Of course, there are still some things that need to be done during this process.

In the palace in Kuching, Li Yian glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and said.

"Communicate with the overseas Chinese community and ask them to send some young people to the Royal Army Officers School in Kuching to study military affairs. Tell them that it is impossible not to master the military. If the overseas Chinese community wants to stand on its own, it must have its own military strength."

The army, navy and air force military schools in Southeast Asia are all set up in Sarawak. The reason why they are set up here is naturally Li Yi'an's selfish motives - this is the kingdom, and after graduation, the officers need to be loyal to the king, although the army does not have " In the name of "Royal Family", in fact it is the royal army, not the army of the Nanyang Republic.

Wang Guobang quickly said with deep understanding.

"What your Majesty said is true. Speaking of which, we Tang people often do business, but we don't like to be soldiers. That is to say, when the Japanese invade, they will organize armed resistance to invade. However, when the Japanese army surrenders, most people will Go home."

"Without guns in hand, people cannot sleep well. The Tang people cannot only care about business interests. In the future, Malaya will inevitably be independent. If the Tang people want to have a say, they must not only play a more active role in business, but also in the Malay Army. , must also play a certain role.”

The so-called Malay Legion is actually a colonial mercenary organized by the British. The future Malayan army after independence will be based on it.

"Looking back, I will send someone to negotiate with the governor to establish a Tang army. People can be recruited, but the officers must be our own!"

"I see,"

Wang Guobang thought for a while and said.

"After returning to Malaya, I immediately persuaded the overseas Chinese leaders to send their children to Nanyang to study military affairs."

In fact, Wang Guobang was originally from Sarawak. He was born in the Kapitan family. His father Wang Changshui was a Kapitan in the Tang community and was also a close friend of the king. He was also the president of the Tang court, which was the highest position in the Tang hierarchy. At the same time, he also became the chairman of the Sarawak Agricultural Syndicate, a joint venture between the Brooke royal family and the Chinese, operating lucrative casinos, opium shops, and Arak distilleries. As the chairman of the Minshou Association, he established the Fujian Province Volunteer School and promoted Chinese teaching instead of English teaching.

When he passed away a few months ago, Li Yi'an even sent a message of condolences. As his second son, Wang Guobang, he went to Kuala Lumpur as early as thirty years ago and started his own business there. This is the tradition of the large overseas Chinese family - —The eldest son keeps his business, while the second son goes to start a business in a different place.

It was by relying on this kind of spreading of branches and leaves that the Tang people, like dandelions, spread to all parts of Southeast Asia and eventually controlled the local economy. Many local people slander the Tang people as a "parasitic people", but in fact, without the Tang people, there would be no big cities in Southeast Asia, such as Batavia, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur, Yangon, Bangkok, Saigon, and Singapore. These cities were originally populated by the Tang people. The city that was created was in the hands of the natives...it was just a barren land!
Nodding, Li Yian said.

"Nanyang is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in Southeast Asia. We must protect each other in the future. In the past, Nanyang was weak, but now, Nanyang has the ability and confidence to protect everyone, but everyone must watch each other!"
