British civil servant

Regarding how the navy cried out for poverty, Allen Wilson mentioned the construction of the Red Navy. This is no secret. It is written in the five-year plans of the Soviet Union at various levels, and it is all public news.

Whether the threat theory of the Soviet Red Navy can be successfully shaped may have an effect on the normal renewal of the Royal Navy without interruption. If Mountbatten is willing to show his contacts and communicate with the military leaders, there may be unexpected results.

Before the father-in-law's call back, Alan Wilson had another fireside chat explaining his discussions with Smith Hammer about the development of Newfoundland's fishing industry after Smith Hammer's departure from Newfoundland.

At the same time, the main purpose is to sneak in private goods, and show from the side that the current state of Newfoundland is the most beneficial to future development. In this broadcast, Alan Wilson mentioned specific Newfoundland development plans, including The development of fishery, forestry and trade free port in three directions.

"Although I am young, I have also visited many places under the rule of the British Empire, but only Newfoundland gave me such an impression. No one has ever seen what heaven looks like, but Newfoundland fits my definition of heaven."

Starting with a model where there is heaven on earth and New Island on the bottom, Alan Wilson talked about the geographical location of Newfoundland, which is simply taking into account both Europe and the American continent, and many things can be done well by virtue of the geographical location between Europe and America .

It’s almost as if the two wings of the Newfoundland version are flying together. During the broadcast, Alan Wilson’s expectations for the free port of trade and his optimism for forestry resources are beyond words, but only after praising the uniqueness of fishery resources as usual, he proposed a worry.

"The efficiency of obtaining resources in modern society has become higher and higher. I don't know if this is a bad thing. From the perspective of food, when we think that God's gifts are inexhaustible, nature always A reminder not to be too optimistic about this."

"In Mauritius, humans discovered the dodo bird, which was declared extinct in 200 years..."

"The Stella manatee in the Bering Strait, the largest animal other than whales, went extinct in just 27 years from their discovery."

"In the North American sky, the passenger pigeons covered the sky and blocked the sun. Once they took off, the sun was blocked. There are only 50 billion passenger pigeons that lasted for only 100 years."

"The development of science and technology in today's society has turned upside down. Trawlers are getting bigger and bigger, and they are sailing farther and farther. Newfoundland fishing grounds are a coveted target in the eyes of trawlers from various unknown countries, and it is too late to stop poaching. If I agree with the proposal to increase production, it will be tantamount to opening the Newfoundland fishing grounds to trawlers, and the citizens of Newfoundland will get money in the short term, but in maybe 20 years, the fishing grounds will be depleted."

Alan Wilson stated in the broadcast that he would never selfishly give up the natural treasures of Newfoundland and turn them into a one-time transaction.

The subtext is that as long as Newfoundlanders can make their own decisions, they have undisputed control over Newfoundland fishing grounds.

Trawlers from other countries dare to stealthily come to poach them. If Newfoundland becomes part of other countries, then their fate is out of their hands.

He couldn't say it too clearly in the official broadcast, but of course, his interpretation of this broadcast leaked out without accident and formed a discussion among the residents of Newfoundland.

Chapter 417 The Governor's Craft

As a colony with an area of ​​40 square kilometers, but only such a small population, there is naturally no environment where it cannot be heard, so it is very normal for news to leak, and Alan Wilson does not blame it.

St. Johns was originally the stronghold of opposition to being incorporated into Canada. The governor judged the situation and knew that the public opinion had something nice to say here. This is quite normal, not to mention that he was really thinking about the future of Newfoundland.

In the eyes of the residents of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson has not been able to say that he has responded to everyone from the time he took office to the present, but at least he has some influence, and the hard-working key administration is still effective. Politicians are afraid that they will not have a sense of presence.

Although he is not a politician, the reason is the same. For example, in China's agricultural era, every official did not like Wanmin Umbrella, even if the official was a corrupt official.

This is what Alan Wilson is pursuing now. Residents of Newfoundland will benefit, and he can also use this to jump to a bigger stage. Both parties can have a win-win result.

In the next few days, local respected elites came to the Governor's Mansion to seek evidence and discuss with Alan Wilson about the future development issues mentioned in the broadcast.

"Of course, Newfoundland's per capita resources are so high, isn't it normal to attract prying eyes?"

Alan Wilson said in an insightful tone, "The fishery resources of Newfoundland's fishing grounds alone are billions of income. Even if it is put there, it is billions, enough to support any welfare reform in Newfoundland. To be honest, Newfoundland The conditions in Finland are so good, even better than in Australia."

Before the discovery of iron ore, his words were absolutely true. Besides, there were oil resources in the shallow sea area of ​​Newfoundland.Even if the technology is immature and cannot be mined now, it can be used in the future.

In the future, the reason why Scotland feels that independence will be better, isn't it because the North Sea oil fields will be owned by Scotland after independence?

St. Johns residents, who account for half of the population of Newfoundland, also oppose the annexation of Canada because they feel that once annexed to Canada, the Newfoundland fishing grounds will not be under their control, and they will have to listen to the Canadian federal government, so they will suffer losses.

Alan Wilson, who harbored ulterior motives, began to pull Canada and the United States, saying that Canada's welfare is indeed much higher than that of the United States, and the cost of living of Canadians is indeed much lower than that of Americans.

Then he changed the subject, saying that with the innovation of fishing technology and the export of timber to the European market, Newfoundland’s income per capita will exceed that of Canada in the next few years, “I believe that after three years, considering benefits and costs The most important factor, the standard of living in North America, should be Newfoundland, Canada and the United States, so the ranking is as it should be.”

"After all, the United States is separated from Europe by the Atlantic Ocean, and there is no urgent incentive to increase welfare. This is different from the situation in the country. Now the country must improve national health care and medical care to reduce the burden on citizens."

This kind of words made many representatives look fascinated. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the Labrador region wants to join Canada. However, for the residents of St. Johns, compared to the fishery being managed by Canada, Welfare benefits are not the decisive factor that shakes their autonomy.

In fact, this is also the case. When the 15 Newfoundland citizens who had the right to vote voted in the referendum, 8000 people were in favor of merging into Canada, and 1000 people were in favor of maintaining autonomy. This result is really very reluctant.

Even Alan Wilson felt that as long as he worked hard, Newfoundland could remain under the control of the United Kingdom and exist in the Commonwealth of Nations as a dominion.

Newfoundland has the potential to easily surpass Canada and the United States, because in order to appease the fiancée, it is regarded as an apology for not disclosing the iron ore for the time being. Alan Wilson said that the Grand Beach in the east of Newfoundland has geological formations of oil.

As early as the beginning of the century, the United States has carried out offshore oil exploration around the Gulf of Mexico. Offshore oil exploration technology was very mature in the 40s. Now, the difficulty of offshore oil exploration lies in finding time, not technology.

It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Alan Wilson said that there are clues of oil resources, so that Newfoundland residents can have this expectation in their hearts.

Anyway, in the impression of the residents of Newfoundland, no matter in real meeting or on the radio, he, the governor, has always looked like that. The situation is either small or great, and there is no bad time at all.

After leaving the logging area of ​​the Humber River, Alan Wilson did not rest idle. If there is any change, it is that the number of broadcasts has increased slightly, and the citizens of Newfoundland have also learned some new vocabulary, such as what is attracting investment? ...

There is one more habit that is to take a lunch break when there is nothing to do. This is completely a habit left in the logging area. After all, it is physical work. Even if there is only a little rest time, squinting for a while is better than keeping your eyes open.

But Alan Wilson didn't sleep well at noon, and woke up suddenly before twelve o'clock.Only his eyes were still squinting.He always felt that there was something in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out what it was.Of course it can't be a Newfoundland thing, who would be so hard to let go of work?

"Mr. Allen, there is a ship from the United States docking." Savievic pushed the door and entered. "It seems that a few celebrities have arrived, and many local residents are watching."

Alan Wilson jumped up like a spring. At the same time, he fiddled with his hair with his hands, washed his face and did not forget to say, "I will greet you right away, so that the guests coming from afar can feel the enthusiasm of the Newfoundlanders."

To be honest, the four female stars who came here are much more popular than Alan Wilson when he first arrived in St. John's. He has to admit that beautiful women are more popular than rough men, and this is the case everywhere.

The residents of St. Johns were extremely welcome to the four actresses who came to the door, and the streets and windows on both sides were full of people.It was a stark contrast to when he first came to St. Johns.

"Dear Ms. Vivien Leigh, thank you for being here at the invitation of Newfoundland." Alan Wilson rushed all the way to the pier, and as the local administrator, expressed his welcome to these actresses who came here to help the poor.

"Mr. Allen is so polite. As a British, it is only right for me to help the subjects of the British Empire." Vivien Leigh suppressed the enthusiasm in her chest, and replied in an unfamiliar tone.

Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman's eyes flashed a hint of understanding. Pauline Goddard, who had never seen Ellen Wilson, was about to say something when Ingrid Bergman ripped off her clothes.

Alan Wilson led the way from the front, and the four actresses became the focus of St. Johns residents. Cheers came from both sides, and Vivien Leigh and the others nodded friendly to express their respect for St. Johns. This reaction made the atmosphere even more intense. warm.

In fact, Vivien Leigh's girlfriends group does not have any members who are too young. Although all of them are naturally beautiful and can maintain the classic image on the screen, they are inevitably facing a crisis of downhill.

Some members have a sense of crisis, such as Pauline Goddard this time, but in fact, it is only Pauline Goddess who has a sense of crisis. From the perspective of others, there is no crisis at all.

Alan Wilson arranged for the four actresses to live in the Governor's Mansion, and he planned to go to the Parliament to deal with it for a while.

"The conditions in Newfoundland are poor, and Wei Wei... Ms. Vivien Leigh, and your friends." Alan Wilson said when leading the four actresses to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, "In short, thank you for your help."

"Let's talk about work first!" Seeing that Allen Wilson was about to leave, Vivien Leigh asked to stay, "As the local chief executive, Mr. Allen must have a plan in mind, and we want to talk about it."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Alan Wilson followed the trend and entered the Governor's Mansion where he originally lived.

After the door was closed, Vivien Li rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson, who was pretending not to be familiar, and said, "It really looks like it, Governor Wilson. You don't know how tired I am from this trip."

"Vivienne, don't say that, so many people outside are watching, do I say I know you very well?" Alan Wilson apologized with a bitter face, "Always take your reputation into account, you are the British Empire national treasure."

Alan Wilson chattered a bit, then changed the topic, "I'm so tired, Hua Gong and I learned how to set bones, if you don't mind, I'll give you a massage."

Vivien Leigh coughed softly, reminding Alan Wilson to pay attention to the situation, there are other people there.

With a conscience, Alan Wilson really learned how to set his bones. He was exhausted in the first few days when he arrived in the Humber River.If it weren't for the fact that there are workers with such skills among the Chinese workers, he would have to lie down for a few days.

Vivien Leigh obviously recalled that when she was in New Delhi, a certain commissioner's assistant used the guise of alleviating fatigue, and finally took advantage of it. She was wrong, and this time it will definitely not be.

gaba!Alan Wilson, who has already practiced with several workers, is showing his skills on Ingrid Bergman, accompanied by bone sounds that appear from time to time, "Actually, Greta's temperament is very suitable for Newfoundland, it is the kind of iceberg, It has a melancholic temperament, and it would be more suitable if it was shot when it was snowing."

"I called her, and she said she was not feeling well and couldn't come." Ingrid Bergman, who volunteered to try her bone-setting skills, replied after hearing Alan Wilson's words, "She has been staying at home, I don't come out very often. Hmph..."

"That's such a pity." Alan Wilson moved his shoulders. The skeleton of Ingrid Bergman, a Nordic goddess with a height of 1.7 meters [-], was placed here. The workload obviously exceeded his estimate, Gaba...

"My idea is this. Newfoundland needs a few well-known spokespersons. At present, it needs to increase its popularity, so I ask a few beautiful ladies to come and help." With great effort to move Ingrid Bergman's body, A Ren Wilson let out a long breath, "Ingrid, if I make a living with this kind of craftsmanship, you should pay more for a body like you, you know?"

Chapter 418 It's Different

"It's too much, we are sought after by thousands of people everywhere, I don't know how many men want to have intimate contact with me, but you still want me to add money?" Ingrid Bergman yelled Yelling, "If it weren't for your good craftsmanship, I would definitely sue you, but for your goodness, if you bow your head and apologize now, forget about it."

"Okay, I want to talk about my business. I can come to Newfoundland to help. On behalf of Newfoundland, I would like to express my gratitude. This service is for you." Alan Wilson is unwilling to engage in verbal disputes here. The occasion can be considered, "This time the promotional video is extremely important to Newfoundland, otherwise Vivienne would not have borrowed contacts to open up the situation."

Afterwards, Alan Wilson explained the ideas of several of his spokespersons, respectively targeting the current development direction that Alan Wilson is optimistic about, fishery, forestry and tax havens.In addition to the three development directions, the spokesperson of Newfoundland is naturally none other than Vivien Leigh.

In any case, Vivien Leigh is British, and she should appear in the image of Newfoundland.And before again, the two had a very good opportunity to cooperate, and Vivien Leigh spoke for British India, and the effect was very good.

"By the way, India's Daughter has already been screened, and it just happened to be allowed to be screened on the basis of the recent news that British India is going to be independent."

Seeing that the people under Alan Wilson changed from Ingrid Bergman to Heidi Lamarr, Vivien Leigh looked stinky and mentioned the documentary she shot in British India, which has already received 200 million views. US dollar box office, and caused social repercussions in the United States.

The current U.S. box office is still in the million-dollar era. Unless it is a particularly brilliant movie, most movies are in the million-dollar box office scale.

Alan Wilson, who didn't forget to serve, nodded, knowing that this number is already considered good.In fact, it is different from people’s impressions. In the 50s and [-]s, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Pauline Goddard, and Vivien Leigh, many female stars gathered together to make a living. The golden age of Hollywood was limited to these female stars.

But in fact, the 50s and [-]s were when the American film market went downhill. The box office of movies was far worse than before the outbreak of World War II, and it went straight to the era of Mary Pickford's silent films.

From this perspective, Greta Garbo's exit from the film industry is the pinnacle of Hollywood.Therefore, they are missed by many movie fans, and the remaining female stars, facing the shrinking market, are naturally not qualified to negotiate salary and other conditions.

Otherwise, how could Alan Wilson be so face-saving, offering a price of [-] pounds for a beauty, and transferred four well-known actresses from the golden age?

Salary is one aspect. The Barbie doll company is the big one. The annual sales of 500 million US dollars is the capital for these actresses to live and work. If it weren't for Newfoundland, three development directions and Newfoundland spokespersons, there would only be four actresses in total. Well, he can definitely get all the Golden Zodiac over with a telegram to support Newfoundland.

"Then congratulations Vivienne, you have jumped out of the actor's identity to a certain extent." Alan Wilson expressed congratulations with a smile, and the activist said with a sore wrist, "You can plan your own future. "

The box office of 200 million US dollars may be the top ten box office in Hollywood this year, after all, the movie market is so watery now.

"I want to see if I can develop in Europe." Ingrid Bergman expressed her thoughts frankly with a relaxed face, "It happens that the European market has been integrated, let's see if there is a better environment. I also want to start a company."

"A very good idea!" Alan Wilson agreed. It was a serious topic, but it changed because of the next sentence. "European movies are relatively strong in France. How about setting up in Paris? I also thought of it." A very good name, called Woodpecker Films."

"Not bad, you can consider it!" Ingrid Bergman felt that there was nothing wrong after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.

"I even want to be the leading actor!" The strange look on Alan Wilson's face disappeared for a moment, and then he resumed his serious attitude. "In short, I have always respected ladies. This is a fact that everyone knows. If you can Help open up Newfoundland, and I will definitely thank you."

After serving every respected guest, Alan Wilson stopped and analyzed the roles of the four actresses in terms of appearance and temperament. As for Ingrid Bergman, who had an excellent test drive experience in Volvo, because she was arranged to log The worker's role-playing protested angrily, "I am such a woman, you let me speak for logging."

"This is the beauty of contrast. In fact, with the appearance of everyone, let alone logging, people will accept anything." When Alan Wilson saw Ingrid Bergman getting up angrily, he moved his wrist unconsciously , thinking there was nothing wrong with this decision, "Look, Heidi didn't even object because of the fishery endorsement."

"You let me taste all kinds of Newfoundland seafood in front of the camera, and I won't object!" Ingrid Bergman cut out and said indignantly, "It's not my fault that I'm tall, it's There are people like me."

"Ms. Ingrid is absolutely right about this." Alan Wilson also agrees, in fact, he also likes this one.

Who wouldn't love Ingrid Bergman?Almost all the necessary hardware facilities are in place, and they all have excellent performance. The production period can only be said to be a small flaw, which is not serious at all.

As for the replacement of Pauline Goddard, who originally belonged to Greta Garbo and was an image of a tax haven, there is naturally no objection.The governor of Newfoundland, who is rich and multi-billion, said that Pauline Goddard, who competed with Vivien Leigh for the role of Scarlett Scarlett, must be very suitable for OL outfits. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing shirts, hip skirts, and big black silk.

As for Vivien Leigh herself, she has already brought her original Gone with the Wind costume to be the spokesperson for Newfoundland.

After going to the bedroom and staying for a while, he took out the same style of Gone with the Wind dress, but he didn't wear it on his body. This outfit was extremely complicated, and Great Britain Bao couldn't figure it out by himself.

"I live in the apartment opposite the Governor's Mansion. If you have anything to do, just call me." Alan Wilson walked to the door and told Vivien Leigh the whole scripture. When shaking hands, the apartment key had already slipped into the other party's palm.

"Thank you for the Governor's help." Vivien Leigh blinked and put away the key she received.

At night, Alan Wilson was so anxious that he couldn't sleep. Finally, there was a noise at the door. Not seeing each other for a day, let alone for so many days. As a local speaker, Alan Wilson has the responsibility to provide thoughtful service .

Newfoundland does not have the glorious atmosphere of British India to hold receptions, but even so, he can't neglect these actresses who come to help the poor. He prepared food carefully, rewarding distinguished guests, and rewarding himself at the same time. Quite tired.

In the center of the table stood a bouquet of flowers on an ornate silver platter, around which hung baskets of dragees and striped mints.Clustered around the decorative "motif" are Lowestoft china plates stacked high with raspberries and strawberries.On the outside were stacks of cookies, fritters, strawberry shortcake, steaming cornbread, creamy golden butter just unwrapped from the dairy muslin.

The side dishes were spicy roast turkey legs and diced chicken custard, cucumbers, sliced ​​tomatoes, and heavy silver pots of buttery cream soup.

In fact, these foods can't be handled under the conditions of Newfoundland, and many of them are imported from the United States.Alan Wilson himself tried his best to maintain the image of a civil servant, but he used it to entertain distinguished guests.

Seeing that Ellen Wilson had a big appetite and took the opportunity to enrich himself, Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman looked at each other. They were very clear about the fact that someone was missing last night.

Even according to the historical trend, the days of Alan Wilson's Governor of Newfoundland have not yet come to an end.

But the days of another governor are numbered, and it is far less relaxed than that of Newfoundland.

As the time approached, Mountbatten felt a little busy instead, and self-reflected whether he had too much time for the reception at the Governor's Mansion. If he stayed for a few days and did not have fun with the people, maybe the current schedule would not be like this urgent.

At the suggestion of Commissioner Barron and Secretary-General Ismay, Mountbatten went to Kashmir, so that he could not only express his willingness to deal with Nehru for the integrity of India, but also express his inability at an appropriate time.

On the issue of the native states, Mountbatten has done his best, and most of the nearly [-] native states have expressed that they will not become independent.More than a dozen states, including Hyderabad, did not reply or object.

Mountbatten felt that he could satisfy Nehru, and set off for Kashmir with this idea.

Most of Kashmir's residents are peace believers, and it is generally believed that it may be incorporated into Pakistan.However, in the eyes of the Kashmiri Hindu elite, it is not good to merge with either party.If you must merge with a certain party, you would rather choose India than Pakistan.

The upper echelons of Kashmir believe that when they have no choice, they are determined to delay the matter, and the longer the delay, the better.Perhaps it will eventually gain independence, as Kashmir is one of the largest of the many states.

The person who pays the most attention to what Mountbatten can achieve is actually Ali Khan, the Maharaja of Hyderabad. Alan Wilson has reminded several times that the Kashmir issue cannot be resolved. Hyderabad’s lifeline lies in Kashmir. , is Ali Khan's chance.

Before the Kashmir issue comes to light, even if Hyderabad is obedient to Nehru on the surface, it must delay as much as possible until the conflict erupts.

Chapter 419 Indian Independence

As a good son-in-law, although Alan Wilson is halfway across the world, he does not forget to advise his father-in-law. The meaning of the telegram is simply to put no hope. Neither Kashmir nor Hyderabad can be solved by majesty or coordination. question.

"If nothing else happens, you will come home with nothing, but just do your best to have a clear conscience. I don't think London can blame you. It's not an easy job."

Not surprisingly, Mountbatten's trip to Kashmir was unsuccessful. He persuaded the Maharaja to agree to merge with Pakistan, but to no avail.For this reason, some Pakistanis saw that Mountbatten failed to persuade the prince of Kashmir to merge into Pakistan, and thought that he was deliberately biased towards India; similarly, many Indians also complained that Mountbatten failed to persuade the Hyderabad state that should be merged into India. into India thinking he took care of Pakistan.So far, he doesn't want to take care of it anymore.

He didn't want to come to British India in the first place, but he was brought here by the cabinet's tricks. Now that he can't coordinate the results, he should stop coordinating at all. It is more important to let India and Pakistan become independent as soon as possible.

Whatever remaining issues remain to be resolved, India-Pakistan independence cannot be delayed any longer.The independence dates of India and Pakistan are March NO.14 and March NO.15, seven months later than in history.

The British Indian colonial institutions united as one, buying precious time for the restoration of the British Empire.At this time, governments at all levels are distributing brand new rupees to everyone in the name of celebrating independence.
