British civil servant

Princess Margaret didn't dare to say a word. After being taught a lesson by Pamela Mountbatten, she no longer dared to talk about this topic, and her eyes were rolling between the two of them.

"Now it seems that such a large iron mine was really made by this man?" Princess Margaret was suspicious. She didn't believe this kind of rhetoric at first, but now she had to believe it.

"Prime Minister Ben Chifley attaches great importance to the news of iron ore, and the optimistic estimate that there are one billion tons of reserves has also excited the whole of Australia." Pamela Mountbatten said about the iron ore, and then he was a little confused , "However, is it too costly to recruit workers from the mainland for exploration? I think it is better to call Australian workers for exploration. What do you think, is it possible to call Chinese workers?"

"Australia is not suitable for recruiting foreign groups! I have always believed that the White Australia policy is correct." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, but seemed to have thought of a way, "If there is a shortage of local workers in Australia, Malaya and Japan Confederate prisoners of war, you can test the tone and see if it works. But it is not certain whether they will be able to return to Japan alive."

Regardless of past life or present life, he has never thought that there is anything wrong with protecting the interests of the main ethnic group.Australia should implement the White Australia policy and close the door to Asian immigrants.

As the world's top resource country, Australia can be invincible just by selling mines.

As early as World War I, Australia's development level was already on par with European countries, and there was no dependence on a certain country.As long as the minerals are there, Australia can handle any external force.

In the foreseeable future, no country can do anything to Australia, and it is impossible for a dove to occupy a magpie's nest.Australia has already tightened its restrictions on foreign immigrants and will not give this opportunity at all.

During the Pacific War, the Japanese invaded Singapore.Australia, as part of the United Kingdom, also stationed troops in Singapore.

As a result, because the British army completely underestimated the military strength of the Japanese army, Singapore fell into the hands of the Japanese army in just one week. 13 British troops surrendered to the Japanese, including [-] Australian soldiers.

This is the case, Australia's hatred for Japan is absolutely deep into the bone marrow!What the Australian people advocate is the blood debt that is taken for granted!

"When the war just ended, there were more than 60 prisoners of war of the Japanese Southern Army in Malaya. I don't know how many are left, but we cannot permanently detain these prisoners of war." Allen Wilson knew in his heart that if the Korean War If it breaks out, Japan's status will be reflected.

Japan is the base camp of the United States controlling Asia, and the economic shackles will also be untied, so at most next year, the United States will definitely put pressure on British Malaya to release hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war could not stay for long. The May 60s was the beginning of Japan's economic rise. It was also at that time that Australia lifted its iron ore export ban.

So now the problem is, no matter how Alan Wilson calculates, British Malaya and Japan started at almost the same time in the plan, he always has to use some external tricks to stumbling this competitor or something.

"About the development of iron ore, if Malaya handed it over to Australia's [-] prisoners of war, they may not survive much, but from the perspective of British interests, this is not a bad thing." Alan Wilson smiled at his fiancee Suggested, "Torturing death is better, but we'd better leave evidence. I just don't know if Australia wants a chance to retaliate."

Princess Margaret opened her eyes wide, seeing Pamela Mountbatten's taught admiration, her body trembled involuntarily.

4 Chapter Ninety Conspiracy in the Southern Hemisphere

Australia is regarded as the one with the strongest atmosphere of war among the major British colonies. During World War I, Australia had a population of 300 million, and 40 soldiers went to the battlefield at the beginning of conscription.In World War II, Australia formed an army of 700 from a population of more than 95 million. The current population of Australia is 820 million.

This also includes the 50 European immigrants who immigrated to Australia in the post-war years. Among the fifteen people in Australia, one is a new immigrant within five years, and the British account for the majority. Naturally, the visit of the Crown Prince and his wife is so popular. It's over.

It was getting late, and Princess Margaret was almost pushed out of the room by Pamela Mountbatten.

"Why is Ellen tired from flying and needs to rest, it's no wonder you rest." Princess Margaret was sulking, and the scene in Newfoundland began to circle in her mind again, her head was sober and she couldn't fall asleep.

The princess is still so dirty?Allen Wilson just took a shower and slept with his fiancée.And Pamela Mountbatten is obviously more active, so what can I do?

According to Allen Wilson, Canberra's urban planning is actually much better than London's. After all, Canberra is a new city compared to London, and it lives in a completely different era, which will naturally cause this effect.

The so-called infrastructure maniac is not so much a talent as a race against time.Because when the income level rises, the existing infrastructure will also take shape, and the maintenance cost of the existing infrastructure will also increase.It will be much more difficult to think about any substantial improvement in the future, and it is not uncommon to be surpassed by future emerging countries a hundred years later.

Canberra, which is now much stronger than London, will definitely be surpassed by Tokyo in another 30 years. In terms of hardware, Tokyo in the 21st century is also beginning to be inferior to Chinese cities.When another country starts infrastructure from scratch, the newly built cities will surpass the original well-known cities.

The attraction of European immigrants to Canberra and Australia as a whole is absolutely real.

Strictly speaking, Alan Wilson's vacation has not yet expired, but the place of vacation has changed from Europe to Australia, and by the way, a telegram was sent to invite the High Commissioner of British Malaya, Gerald Edward, to come to Canberra as a guest.

The latter also arrived immediately, and became the second passenger of Comet [-]. After getting off the plane, he could not stop admiring. Obviously, he was very optimistic about Comet [-]. "This is really a perfect experience, and the journey is very comfortable."

Gerald Edward said that this was a perfect flight experience, the whole journey was comfortable and smooth, the service was superb and the meals on board were delicious.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Alan Wilson nodded modestly, then stabbed his fiancee, and Pamela Mountbatten immediately introduced the situation of the Comet Airliner.

Maybe in the future, Malaya's air routes will depend on the Malaya High Commissioner in front of me. Pamela Mountbatten, who was reminded by Alan Wilson, immediately tried to establish contacts.This is the missing part of her network, which is not enough for these bureaucrats.

As long as there are no major problems with the Comet Airliner, Alan Wilson feels that except for the Americas that do not include Canada, the remaining places can compete with Boeing head-to-head!Uh, except for Japan.

The oligopoly of the civil aviation market in later generations is very obvious. Boeing is undoubtedly the first, with a share of more than 2% of the No.90.00 Airbus, and the two types of passenger aircraft account for nearly [-]% of the world.

If we start to compete now, Comet will definitely have a few years of first-mover advantage. The US market is still unable to enter the US market, and even the American market is not good enough.

Dozens of Colonial Commissioners are widely distributed, which can definitely solve a large part of the sales problem of Comet airliners.As for British-born countries such as Australia and Canada, although the national power of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom, where the tiger skin is still present, is not necessarily less influential than the United States.

Pamela Mountbatten, who was reminded by her fiancé, of course immediately understood that a lot of the company's performance was pinned on these colonial commissioners.

Alan Wilson invited the current Malayan emperor to come, naturally he wanted to talk about the issue of insufficient iron ore development.In fact, this problem can be broader. For example, the island of New Guinea, which is still under the control of Australia and the Netherlands, has an area of ​​80 million square kilometers. Not to mention 60 prisoners of war, even 600 million can be eaten.

However, compared to the unobstructed northwestern part of Australia, if Japanese prisoners of war ran to the island of New Guinea, no one would know what happened if something happened.

"Japanese prisoners of war?" Gerald Edward looked surprised. "The United States will find a way to let us release them?"

"The situation is no longer the same, especially considering that the situation in the Far East has changed in favor of the Soviet Union. The United States may look at Japan differently. Americans are like this. As long as they think about it, they don't care what others think." Alan Wilson shrugged Said, "So it is distributed to some prisoners of war in the Netherlands, Australia and even Portugal. Maybe there is still talk about this matter. It will take time for the United States to persuade them one by one? At that time, everyone will say their own things. There are too many people talking and we must take care of all aspects. For the benefit, the time will come out."

It can be said that during this period of time, no one understands the significance of Japan to the United States better than Alan Wilson. He has seen the development of the next few decades, and has a deeper understanding of the significance of the United States' control of Japan.

Because the entire western Pacific defense line is built with Japan as the core, the U.S. decision-makers have always regarded Japan as the cornerstone of Asian stability, and the maintenance of the U.S.-Japan alliance is an untouchable bottom line.Just imagine if the U.S.-Japan alliance disintegrates, the U.S. military withdraws from Japan, and China and Japan move toward an alliance, the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea will be in danger, and Southeast Asian countries will lack support, and Guam will also be in jeopardy.

As a result, the Western Pacific defense line will collapse across the board. Europe, which has been trying to stand on its own for a long time, will take advantage of the situation and expel the U.S. military. The U.S. world hegemony will collapse and shrink back to the scope before World War II.In reality, Japan can be said to be the basis for ensuring US hegemony.

Japan has no ability to break free from the control of the United States. In addition to population and nominal GDP, whether it is corporate profits, labor efficiency, and some side data, such as pensions, productivity, and other data.Japan is at the level of Spain among European countries, and it is no match for Italy.

The so-called second place in the world in the 80s was completely supported by a population of more than 1 million. There were no countries in Europe with such a large population except the Soviet Union.Eight hours of work in European countries, Japan, including South Korea, needs twelve hours to catch up.

Among the so-called seven major industrialized countries, Japan is actually the bottom one, but compared with other countries with a population of only 5000 to [-] million, it is very dominant in total.Later, it swelled and was weakened by the Plaza Accord.

However, although Alan Wilson believes that Japan is a Spain that is three times the size, it cannot make him feel better. The return of 60 workers of the right age will certainly be a great help.

Since the British colonies may be pressured, the dispersal of these prisoners of war can also draw in feelings with other colonial countries, especially Australia.

"If we take the initiative to propose to send some of the prisoners of war of the Southern Army to the island of New Guinea controlled by the Netherlands and Australia, and build the local area in the name of redemption, I think Australia and the Netherlands will not refuse. After all, the Japanese Southern Army in World War II , but made the two countries very dissatisfied, if Japan hadn't challenged the local colonial order, the repression in the East Indies would not have made the Dutch helpless."

From the perspective of the colonists, what Alan Wilson said was quite clear. The prisoners of the Japanese Southern Army had better not go back and be digested internally.

"It's a big deal!" Gerald Edward hesitated a little. The 60 prisoners of war are not a small number.

"We can let the Dutch propose, and then let the Portuguese in Timor agree. If someone starts, the Australians will definitely agree." Alan Wilson said, looking at his fiancée.

"As long as there is such a rumor, I will talk to the Australian parliamentarian." Pamela Mountbatten received the signal, indicating that everything is on her, and at the same time added a fire to Gerald Edward, "New Guinea Island It is said that there are traces of copper mines. I am about to send an exploration team there, but the environment on the island is harsh. If there is a disciplined construction team to build, I believe it will be a good thing for everyone. If you really find copper mines, then Mr. Gerald, who helped this time, should undoubtedly get his own share in the middle."

Pamela Mountbatten has just discovered a large iron mine in Australia, which is now being discussed throughout Australia, and of course Gerald Edward knows about it.

The current Pamela Mountbatten is simply the daughter of General Mountbatten, and already has her own place in popularity, otherwise no one would want to poach her.

"Wow!" The smile on Gerald Edward's face flashed away, and he said with a sense of justice, "The destruction of the Japanese Southern Army in Southeast Asia is definitely not limited to the Malaya region, and it is very normal to atone for sins with work." .”

"It's very normal." Alan Wilson agreed with the other party's words.

"It is reasonable for us to give some compensation to the Netherlands, Australia and even Portugal." Gerald Edward said hesitantly, "It's all for peace."

"It is of great significance to peace." Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, and Pamela Mountbatten followed suit.

"Then wait for my good news. I'll talk to the Dutchman first." Gerald Edward began to talk about his thoughts, the room was full of whispers, and a knowing laugh came out from time to time.

Chapter 491 Churchill's Joke

"If it wasn't for the fact that the population of Japan's mainland exceeds that of Malaya, and the ethnic balance in Malaya can't be disrupted to prevent the tail from getting too big, how can I plan a defeated country like this?"

Alan Wilson asked himself whether he was making a big deal out of a molehill when he was dealing with a defeated country that was entrusted with technology transfer.

The only time when Japan threatened the United States was when the semiconductor industry first emerged, and this was the only industry in Japan that threatened the United States.

As for the remaining home appliances, cars, home appliances themselves have no technological content at all. Late-developing countries have started to catch up with home appliances. As for cars, Americans may not find the advantages of American cars. Does the cost of gas count?

As for high-end machinery, Japan has always been second-rate, far behind Germany, and Germany's high-end machine tools are not number one in Europe. Switzerland is the first to refuse to accept that Germany is number one.

As for other high-end industries, Japan is even further behind, and has always been crushed.

Even in the most basic steel industry in industrial countries, the average price of steel exported from Japan is lower than that exported from China.This shows that the so-called quality of Japanese steel is better than that of China, but it is just brainwashing of soft articles, and capital will not deceive people.If it is really crushed by quality, it will be like European products that are extremely expensive, and there is no need to worry about sales.

In fact, in South Korea after Japan, and later in China, the number of crushing European companies is far less than the number of crushing Japanese companies.This is enough to show that European companies are more stable than Japanese companies in high-end industries.

In the 21st century, the difference between the EU and the US lies in the status of the Internet and the US dollar.The fact that the American per capita surpasses that of Europe is the dividend of financial hegemony, and Europe is no worse than the United States in traditional industries.

It is too early to get away from the Internet, and the industrial level in Europe is recovering, and low-end industries also need a place to continue.Start with the family workshop first, then the textile industry step by step.

"My dear, if you are the chief executive of Malaya, it will be easier for us to do things now. Although Gerald Edward is familiar, it is not very convenient after all." Pamela Mountbatten came out in a bathrobe, Wiping her long hair with a towel, she looked like she was living at home.

"Who says it's not, but I really have something to do recently, so I can't study this matter." The Malaya commissioner has gone back, and Alan Wilson naturally doesn't have to hide anything from his fiancee. He really has always wanted to work in Malaya.

It's just that it's best to light a fire in the United States before going, so that you can travel lightly with a good mood.

Strictly speaking, a million soldiers have crossed the river, and the fight is not over yet.Truman was still in the stage of gloating over his father's misfortune. It was not impossible to be McCarthy's dog-headed military adviser, but it was still not the best time.

Pamela Mountbatten dried her hair, lay flat in front of her fiancé and said, "It seems that elections are coming soon in China, right?"

"It's less than a year away. I don't know when the election will be held next year." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand to perform bone-setting skills on his fiancée, accompanied by a slight crisp sound, to relieve Pamela Mountbatten's fatigue.

"You don't seem to appreciate Churchill very much? Do you prefer the Labor Party?" Pamela Mountbatten closed her eyes slightly, enjoying her fiancé's craftsmanship.

There were only two people in the room, so Alan Wilson naturally didn't need to hide it, "Yes, the Labor Party's idea of ​​nationalization is more in line with the interests of Whitehall, but from a personal point of view, Sir Norman and Churchill also have a good relationship, and Churchill is over 70 Well, to be honest, it might be easier to control.”

Alan Wilson remembered that when Churchill came to power for the second time, he was basically in the same physical condition as the Sleeping King. He rarely showed up except for necessary occasions, and Eden, the second person in the Conservative Party, was responsible for some things.

In fact, after World War II, Churchill's performance was mediocre, almost sitting there, fortunately, he did not encounter any major problems.

But Churchill and his ministers were unaware of the serious intentions of those across the Channel who were working to build the EEC and eventually the United States of Europe.Perhaps, had Churchill demonstrated the leadership needed to shape the coming European Union, his record and that of his successors could have been very different.

After hearing the truth from her fiancé, Pamela Mountbatten said comfortingly, "Who do you think will win? It seems that the Labor Party is more dominant."

"If there is an election in Australia, Churchill will never win for the rest of his life. The Straits landing in World War I and the Battle of Singapore in World War II, it is not the Japanese who hurt Australians the most, but our Prime Minister Churchill. Churchill can even replace Lenin as the founding father of the Soviet Union, without him For the snub of the Ottoman Empire, nothing in Imperial Russia is easily broken."

Allen Wilson's actions paused for a while. It is well known that the British are actually very self-deprecating.Can he compose a little British joke, spread it out and connotate Churchill.And it is appropriate to do this in Australia, and then export it to domestic sales and send it back to the mainland.

Australia definitely has this kind of soil. After all, Churchill made a lot of trouble for Australia during World War I and World War II.

Alan Wilson, who had a good idea, decided to praise Churchill's contribution in this place in Australia before the end of the vacation. In a good mood, he tore off the restraints on Pamela Mountbatten, "Do you have to rub it inside?"

"Okay!" Pamela Mountbatten leaned in her lover's arms and affirmed emotionally, "Try harder when rubbing."

Australia's resentment towards Churchill exists. As for the attack on the United Kingdom, you can ignore it, because Churchill is currently the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, and he is not a chief of staff. The current prime minister is the great Prime Minister Attlee.

Since he is a former prime minister, it does not involve damaging relations with the UK. Public opinion has it, and it is more appropriate to vent his grievances.Not to mention destroying the traditional relationship with the United Kingdom, so what are you waiting for?

"The speaker was expounding on the greatness of the British Empire, recounting the visionary vision of the Prime Minister in wartime."

"Another objected, Britain paid dearly!"

"The speaker did not answer, repeating once again the extraordinary courage shown by Britain in time of war."

"However, the standard of living of British citizens has deteriorated. The Battle of Singapore has brought great embarrassment to Britain."

"You should pay less attention to these details and read more about Mr. Churchill's autobiography. It's all written in it."

Caesar, Napoleon and Churchill participated in the Soviet Red Square parade. Caesar said, "If I have Soviet tanks, I will be invincible!"

Napoleon said, "If I had Soviet planes, I would sweep the world."

Churchill smiled and proudly said with a smug expression, "Without me, the Soviet Union would not have existed at all."

Representatives of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union debated their contributions to the World War at the United Nations. The Soviets said, "The Soviet Red Army led by Comrade Stalin completely defeated the Germans."

The Americans said, "President Roosevelt sent the Japanese to the bottom of the sea in the Pacific battlefield."

The British looked at the Americans contemptuously and said, "Prime Minister Churchill sank the French navy in just one day."

"Ask why Britain experienced economic difficulties after the war? Answer, because Churchill sent all the aid to the Soviet Union, and half of Europe."

Alan Wilson was quick-witted, and kept brushing his pen, and the jokes he wrote made Pamela Mountbatten, who was wearing a man's coat, couldn't help laughing, "Honey, if the former Prime Minister knew, he would hate you. "

"The most hateful thing is far from this, the most hateful thing is that everything I write is true." Alan Wilson gritted his molars and said, "There is nothing more sad than the truth of these jokes. "

After writing quickly, Alan Wilson handed over the manuscript to his fiancée and told him, "Find a political newspaper with a pro-American stand and send it out. Since the end of the war, the United States has also stepped up its efforts to win over Australia. Some newspapers with American background will definitely Happy to see it happen, look at our British jokes."

"Isn't this harmful to our British interests?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with some doubts.

"So we have to let Mr. Churchill stand in front of the United Kingdom and resist the responsibility. This is his greatest contribution at present." Alan Wilson stretched his waist, "Otherwise, I can't think of any other place where he can do the right thing for the country. useful thing."

Whether one person can do all the work of Gotu and Brezhnev, Alan Wilson thinks there is, such as Churchill during the war, and Churchill in the second term after the war.It's just that Churchill first made the Ge map, and then made Brezhnev.

While Churchill's jokes were fermenting in Canberra, Alan Wilson used the last few days of the holiday to accompany his fiancée around the neighborhood, and also used his love brain as a drag bottle.

Australia's land is barren, even native tree species should theoretically be the most suitable for the environment here, and transplanted to other continents will grow faster than in Australia.

Fortunately, the current population of Australia is very small, and some primitive features can still be seen. The few people who came out to visit came to a place with deep water, and the water blocked the road like a small river.There are tracks and heavy truck tires on both sides of the ditch. It is obvious that cars cannot get through.At this time, MI[-] agents who followed the trip appeared, put the sawn wood on the puddle with the flat surface on top, and tied it with ropes. Although it was a little wobbly, it was enough to pass the car.

Not far away, there are Australians engaged in agricultural production. In all directions, the crops are overwhelmed in the brown mud, forming criss-crossing ruts.Some small pieces of grain stalks that have not been crushed are still standing there, between the long brown ruts that have been pressed out and the blue-yellow crop clumps, seeing the appearance of these uninvited guests, they still have vigilant eyes.

Chapter 492 The right to speak

"Australians are so vigilant?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little strange, looking at Alan Wilson.

"It's not surprising. People always have to be on guard." Alan Wilson shrugged. "Maybe we have broken into a private sacred and inviolable territory. It is normal to be vigilant."

Some people in later generations say that Australians are somewhat similar to Americans in character, and that the Five Eyes Alliance is actually a United Kingdom that repeatedly jumps around, and two small and fresh mainstream Canada and New Zealand, plus two rampant United States and Australia.
