Chapter 737 Malaya is ours (Third update, please subscribe)
Epoch-making, revolutionary... these terms had already been used by newspapers in the UK and even around the world during the test flight of the "Comet" passenger aircraft.

All in all, just one sentence - all words of praise.

This world is always about firsts and 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, which is of course 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?
It is Nanyang that has once again made breakthrough progress 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 can see things that make 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 first.

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 with the conservative "Comet" test flight, only 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 a successful long-distance flight experience, in the following days, the five C717 prototypes began to conduct frequent test flights, from the main island to 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 many locals, who were very interested in it. Pointing.

Just as Li Yi'an expected, the landing of the C717 made the Malays look solemn and complicated, but then they looked relieved again, and everything seemed to be acceptable.

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 amendments to the Federation's 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 has to 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 compliant."

But no matter how bitter it is, it can't change the expansion of Tang influence in Malaya - according to the agreement reached between Li Nian and Attlee, as early as Fatty Qiu won the election and formed the cabinet, Attlee instructed the Colonial Department to "maintain On the grounds of "stabilizing the Malayan Federation", a deputy high commissioner was appointed, and it was stipulated that the deputy high commissioner must be selected from the main ethnic groups of the population at that time, and the vice president of the MCA, Lim Cang Eu, 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.

Not to mention 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, smiled at Consul Cheng Kewu beside him.

"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, it's not enough to just rely on the Nanyang garrison. 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 was the first colonial official in Malaya to serve as both high commissioner and military commander, his move to strengthen the police force as soon as he took office also allowed Chang'an to see an opportunity.

"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, we can exclude them. Even those who have joined the police force can prevent them from being promoted. As for the British..."

Lin Cangyou smiled.

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

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 had been with the army all year round, and during the political struggle In terms of experience, it is far more than 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 advocated cooperation. That guy only cooperated but did not fight, while Lin Cangyou kept fighting and cooperating.

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

"But now there is another problem." "Say."

"It is that our population advantage is very weak. As long as they take a few years, ten or twenty years, the results will be very different. Moreover, now they insist on resisting Singapore's merger with Malaya to ensure their future population 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. And,"

After thinking about it, Lin Cangyou continued.

"Now we are so kind 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? We can't win over people's hearts 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 it be just right if that were the case?"

Cheng Kewu nodded and said,
"You know, we have been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for them to be unable to bear it one day and stand up, just like Mindanao. What will be 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,"

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 influence others, but we should still encourage our own people as much as possible, and the singles among the Tang people should try our best to To help them get married and have children, even buying... more dowry gifts is not a bad idea. "

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 the car window and said.

"When we first came here, most of them were locals who relied on betrothal gifts to marry. Now it's just those people who the Mayans are not willing to marry their daughters to us."

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 Hours."

After thinking for a while, 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 a lot of Tang people along the Myanmar border? We can bring them over. In short, we just need to increase the population as much as possible."

After hearing what the consul said, Lin Cangyou said.

"It's no better than it was in the past. Let's not say that the Malays are definitely not willing to let us introduce a large number of people. Even the Commissioner's Office probably won't agree. The British are very wary of us. If you didn't see, then None of the high commissioners came to the airport today."

Cheng Kewu said after hearing him mention Templer's vigilance against the Tang people, or should be said, Nanyang.

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

Cheng Kewu said after glancing out of the car window.

"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 are naturally useless. Regardless. No matter how many tricks the British play, they can't change the fact that Malaya is ours!"
