Hardy Empire 1945

Princess Margaret left Hong Kong. This visit to Hong Kong was praised by all people, and British newspapers also reported it extensively.

Her Royal Highness is concerned about people's livelihood, and has promoted a 50,000 low-rent housing project in Hong Kong. In the next five years, it will solve the housing problem of 200,000 to 300,000 people in Hong Kong, which demonstrates the royal family's concern for the people.

Princess Margaret returned to the palace. When she got off the car, her sister, Princess Elizabeth, came to greet her. She gave her a big hug and said with a smile, This time you have done a great job, you have contributed to 50,000 low-rent housing units, and the royal family has been praised.

Sister, this is mainly due to Viscount Hardy. Viscount Hardy is a responsible entrepreneur. When we talked about this topic when we met, he expressed his willingness to help the people of Hong Kong solve some practical problems, even if he gave up some benefits.

Margaret did not forget to praise her lover Hardy.

Of course this is due to Viscount Hardy, and also to you. Princess Elizabeth walked in holding her sister's hand.

How was the visit, was it pleasant?

It's very pleasant. Through these visits, I feel more and more that members of the royal family should go out more, so as to highlight the existence of the royal family. Margaret said.

She said this to lay the foundation for the next time she went out.

 …

After Princess Margaret left Hong Kong, Hardy accompanied Han Yezhen and her son Bourne in Hong Kong for two days, and took a special plane to Japan to inspect the company here.

The time has come to the middle of 1952.

At this time, the war on the peninsula was still in full swing, and the Global Times sent many reporters to the battlefield to report the war in great detail.

At this time, the war is still in a state of anxiety.

The development of this war has actually exceeded everyone's expectations, because in many people's minds, the US military has always been synonymous with 'powerful and invincible', while the East is extremely poor and backward, but with the reports, countless people re-recognized the Eastern country.

The previous impression can be said to be subversive.

this war,

It was also an important battle for that eastern country to gain respect from the world. Coupled with the real-time reports of the Global Times, people knew more details than in previous lives.

poor,

But tough.

The braid has been cut off.

Dare to fight the Americans.

what nuclear intimidation,

does not work.

Hardy didn't stay in Japan for too long, and returned to the United States, because there were more important things waiting for him in the United States.

The new U.S. presidential election is in full swing. Four years have passed in a flash. It is impossible for Johnson to continue to be re-elected. The new president has become the most concerned thing for people.

As early as last year,

Eisenhower was pushed out.

The capital forces behind him include Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, Mellon, California Consortium, Hardy Group, etc.

California is now one of the strongholds of the Republican Party.

Today's Senator,

Republicans also have a majority.

As early as a few years ago, Hardy reached an agreement with the Rockefeller family to jointly support the election of the Republican Party. During this period, ABC TV station became Eisenhower's propaganda standard-bearer, and he was often seen on TV.

Last time,

Hardy supported Johnson to take office and monopolized many benefits. This time, that situation will never happen again. Eisenhower was elected by most interest groups, and he will represent the interests of more people.

Hardy is just one of many supporters.

Even if Eisenhower is elected, it is impossible to take care of him too much, so Hardy made second-hand preparations.

He communicated with other families and planned to elect Nixon, who is now a senator, to the position of vice president.

After several years of operation,

Hardy's right to speak in these families is becoming more and more important. Under the exchange of interests, everyone agreed to this proposal. In this way, Nixon became a member of Eisenhower's campaign team and will also become the vice president of the United States in the future.

As for Eisenhower's opponents,

It is Stevenson of the Democratic Party, but people are generally not optimistic about him now.

During the Johnson period, the public felt that the Republican Party should come to power, but it was abruptly let Johnson take over.

this time,

It is impossible to have another accident like Dewey's.

Stevenson is destined to be just an escort.

In addition to Nicholson, Hardy is also preparing to send Mike to Capitol Hill to become a senator, which is very important for Mike's future.

at the same time,

Hardy's assistant, Li Gen, also resigned from the position of vice chairman of the Screen Actors Union and turned to run for California Congressman.

correct,

MacArthur also participated in this election, and he was one of the candidates. He was so confident that he spared no expense in hiring a group of biographical writers to write biographical literature for him. He published three books in just two months.

The Great MacArthur.

The Genius Freedom Fighter MacArthur.

The God-given Hero MacArthur.

As a representative of Old Soldiers Don't Die, MacArthur still has a group of fans, and these people are running around every day to canvass for him.

pity,

Big capital despised him.

Because in the eyes of many capitalists, this guy is a psychopath, a bomb that may explode at any time.

Even in the business world, don't do business with people who are unstable, let alone the election of the president's deputy.

People prefer the steady Eisenhower.

 …

White House.

Hardy came to see President Johnson and had dinner with the president's family in the evening. After dinner, the two walked in the back garden.

Talk about this election.

Johnson said: I am also very optimistic about Eisenhower. He is now supported by many parties. I believe that in the future, he will be able to coordinate the various forces in the country well, so that he can introduce more policies that are beneficial to the development of the United States.

I have been president for several years, and I am still constrained by the Republican Party. In the past few years, very few policies have been actually implemented.

Hardy shook his head and said:

No, in comparison, you have done a lot. You ended World War II and established the global order after World War II. These policies have made the United States strong, and I believe it will affect the United States for decades or even hundreds of years.

Then the two talked about the war on the peninsula.

Finally, Hardy revealed his purpose.

Through my observation for more than a year, the Japanese are very unreliable. Even if they are more docile now, it is just a disguise, so don't relax the control over Japan at any time, and don't give them too much power and freedom.

The peninsula is still being contested.

The United States does not have many real focus points in the Far East. I have a proposal that Penang and the Dominion of Malacca can become military allies of the United States.

 …

Hardy called on Marshall again the next day.

in history,

At this time, Marshall had already stepped down and resigned as the Minister of Defense because of McCarthy's attack. In this world, McCarthy was killed by Hardy, and Marshall is still the Minister of Defense.

correct,

McCarthy is dead,

Struggling on the hospital bed for several months, he finally died, but no one paid attention to him at that time. Congressman McCarthy, who had a great reputation, and Mr. McCarthy, who influenced hundreds of thousands of people in the United States, only appeared in some tabloids after his death. Get one of the most corner tofu cubes to report the death.

Hardy's purpose this time is very simple.

Buy more weapons and equip the two dominions of Cayman and Penang Malacca.

Previously,

The United States sold him warships and aircraft, all of which have imposed quantitative restrictions, and the Hardy Group has reached the maximum limit. Valley

This time Hadi used the name of the Dominion.

dominion,

Having the right to build an army is a good thing for the United States to support a pro-American force.

Hardy approached Johnson, Marshall, and contacted the US Department of Defense in the name of the Dominion, in order to let the US government support his pro-American forces.

Put more simply,

Just send me a batch of weapons, don't ask for money.

I rely on you politically.

In fact, even if Hardy didn't say so, others would not assign him to other camps. Even if he went to Stalin now, that guy would not want him. He belonged to the American and British camps by nature.

Since it has been fixed in nature,

Then don't give up for nothing, Hardy is going to get more support from the US government before the next president.

 …

Johnson sat with Marshall and chatted about the Dominion of Hadi over Penang.

In the east, Britain's power is shrinking sharply. We only have Japan and South Korea. Now that the war in South Korea is not over, it is imperative to support forces closer to us in the east.

Japan is unreliable. It can be used but we must be on guard. We can't let them develop too strong. South Korea's future is unpredictable. Hardy's territory is a good choice. He guards the throat of the Eastern Sea and can control those around him. nation.

The Dominion of Malacca, Penang, can be built into a strong fortress, a nail to control the East.

Marshall pondered for a few seconds, and said: I don't doubt Hadi's inclination, but I am worried that after the Dominion's strength is further strengthened, it will have greater ambitions, such as the last Johor incident.

After Hadi's military strength increases, will he attack other regions, including the whole of Malaya, Indonesia, and even other countries in Southeast Asia?

Johnson took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff and said, That has nothing to do with the United States. The stronger he is, the higher the American flag of freedom will fly.

 …

a month later,

The United States signs a military procurement agreement with the Dominion of Penang.

The Dominion of Penang purchased weapons and equipment for two regular divisions from the United States, including firearms, bullets, artillery, automobiles, armored vehicles, tanks, communication equipment, medical equipment, clothing, tents, quilts, etc.

And the price of these materials is cheaper than those eliminated for takeout, and it is a complete set.

As long as there are people, they can be equipped into an army immediately.

There are 17,000 regular divisions of the U.S. military, and the equipment of two divisions can equip 34,000 people. Hardy only plans to get 10,000 troops, and these equipments are enough.

Army equipment is only a small tip.

The big head is still behind,

Sold more than 300 aircraft of various types to the Dominion, ranging from fighter jets to bombers, transport aircraft, and paratrooper equipment.

Only this air force has surpassed many small countries.

Moreover, the prices of these planes are completely cabbage prices, which are cheaper than the batch of planes that Hardy bought before, and they are almost free.

Although they are all World War II aircraft, they are still advanced in Southeast Asia. Even if they are gradually eliminated after a few years, they can still be used as trainer aircraft.

There are also battleships.

Hardy had already bought a batch of ships before, but he still felt that it was not enough, and he was unaccompanied when he went out. There are so many bad guys in this world, so there is nothing wrong with preparing more weapons.

Hardy bought 8 more warships in one go, and also ordered 2 submarines. Although the submarines can be sold to Hardy, Hardy wants an aircraft carrier, and the United States really does not sell them.

At last,

An agreement was also signed with the United States.

The Dominion of Malacca, Penang, became one of the members of the US arms sales, allowing the Dominion to purchase advanced US weapons and equipment.

This one is very important.

In other words, as long as he has money, Hardy can buy advanced weapons and equipment from American weapons manufacturers.

some people,

Even if you have money, you can't buy good things. People restrict you.

In the future, Hardy can not only buy from the United States, but also buy from Europe. Let’s not talk about making it from all countries, let’s talk about it when it becomes stronger.

At the very least, we must have the right to speak in one region.

However, Hardy is very dissatisfied with the rifles currently used in the United States. He plans to set up a rifle processing factory after returning to Penang, specializing in imitating the AK47.

It is not difficult to imitate this thing, and it can be made in some village workshops in later generations. Hardy has a finished gun in his hand, and he can find a technician to measure it. AK47 uses a large number of stamping parts, which is low in cost, simple in structure, reliable in performance, and cost-effective. Higher, more suitable for the complex and hostile environment in Southeast Asia. American guns are too delicate, and the Vietnam War in later generations is the touchstone.

In the future, the main rifle equipped by the Dominion Army will be replaced by the AK47.

Will the Soviet Union demand patent fees from itself?

Haha, as long as you don't send troops to fight yourself, it's not a big problem.

 …

Time flies and more than two months have passed.

And in the British Royal Palace,

But something big happened.

Since the past few days, Princess Margaret has become lethargic, lazy and lethargic. Margaret used to stay in bed, and people didn't pay much attention to it.

But during this time,

Whenever Margaret smoked, she would vomit dryly. She used to like tobacco, but now she felt nauseous when she smelled it.

During this time,

Even Princess Elizabeth has noticed that her younger sister is always in low spirits these days, which is completely different from her younger sister who is always energetic and playing around crazy.

this day,

The court lady serving Princess Margaret came to Princess Elizabeth's office and reported cautiously: Princess, there is something I need to report to you.

What's up?

Princess Margaret, it's been two months since she had a menstrual event. During this time, Princess Margaret became lethargic, lethargic, and would vomit when she smelled a strange smell, so I suspect... The female officer didn't Dare to continue.

Princess Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment. She is now the mother of two children. Her eldest son Charles and daughter Anne have been born. She naturally understands the symptoms of pregnancy. Margaret's situation is very similar to pregnancy.

But the crux of the matter is,

Margaret is not married now, she is pregnant now, if the outside world finds out, it will be a scandal for the royal family.

Elizabeth immediately said seriously to the female officer, Have you told anyone else about this?

No, I found something wrong, and I will be the first to report to you. I am in charge of the princess's daily life, so no one knows about the princess' situation. The female officer said quickly.

It is actually normal for the royal family to have some nasty things. These female officials and guards have undergone strict training, and the situation of the royal family is absolutely not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.

Okay, you go back and continue to take care of Margaret.

The lady said goodbye.

Princess Elizabeth frowned and thought, if Margaret is really pregnant, who is that man?

this matter,

She had to tell her father and queen mother.

Princess Elizabeth came to the bedroom where King George VI and the Queen lived. At this time, King George VI was dying of illness. He was supported by medicine every day and could only eat some simple liquid food every day. He was pushed out to bask in the sun for two hours.

Everyone knows that the former Emperor His Majesty is not long in his life.

After seeing her father and mother, Princess Elizabeth asked all the other servants to leave, and then calmly told them about Margaret.

For people who have gone through countless storms, although the news surprised the two of them, they both acted calmly.

Is the news confirmed? Queen Elizabeth asked.

yes,

Princess Elizabeth's mother was also named Elizabeth.

In order to avoid leaking the news, we haven't checked with a doctor yet, which is not enough according to the situation described by the female officer. It should be so.

Who did it?

I don't know yet!
