British civil servant

After the comet came out, the diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stationed in various countries became the promoters of the comet. At present, 27 planes have been sold at a price of [-] pounds. Pamela Mountbatten will also participate in the cabinet's air force this time. in the development plan.

The Malta aircraft carrier, which is the same class as the Midway-class aircraft carrier, has not been cut off, and is constantly rushing to work at the shipyard.

Although the strength of the Royal Navy cannot be compared with that of the United States, it has not been left too far behind. There is a gap in scale and no gap in technology.

At the Whitehall Overseas Dominions Conference in March, Norman Brooke first asked whether the skeleton nationalized enterprises of the colonies had been established.

The answer is obvious. The commissioners of the major colonies simply regard this enterprise as their own asset. Of course, it reflects unprecedented efficiency. The British colonies in Africa have all established nationalized enterprises according to local resources.

"At present, the situation in Africa is generally stable. After all, all European countries have colonies in Africa, and other countries are also our cover. As for another key area, it is not so optimistic." Norman Brook said indifferently, "Although there are also Dutch colonies. , Portugal and France, but the Asian direction is not stable."

"In addition to creating benefits for the British Empire, the overseas territories should support the development of Malaya. The position of Malaya is extremely important. We can help France hold on to the war in Vietnam and suppress Indonesia in the south. To form an alliance with Australia is not only the business of Malaya itself, but also the business of the colonies you administer."

"Since the previous plan has come to a conclusion, this will be your job for some time to come." Norman Brooke said this and emphasized, "Of course I don't know the specific situation in the colonies, but this is related to what Whitehall thinks everyone Whether our colleagues are reliable or not, in theory we all hope to succeed, but in reality? Failure is not allowed!"

"Sir Norman has made it very clear that Africa is currently in a state of security, but the situation in Asia is already unstable. Malaya's tin mines and rubber are extremely important to the British Empire, and from various conditions, Malaya must become an overseas territory that supplements the insufficient total of the British mainland. This is not only a matter for the local commissioner, but also a matter for other colonial commissioners, and everyone has an obligation to provide assistance."

After Norman Brooke finished speaking, Ismay took out a letter of appointment and read out, "Gerald Edward, High Commissioner to Malaya, has been appointed Commissioner to Germany. The new High Commissioner to Malaya, Allen Wilson will shoulder the responsibility of developing a consolidated Asian colony, and all colleagues are obliged to assist."

"Before April comes, so two gentlemen, get ready to go to the new position." Norman Brooke finally concluded, "This may be a rare free time for you, and you can take a vacation in the last few days."

"Yes, sir!" The colonial commissioners in the entire conference room replied in unison, watching the stalwart Norman Brook leave.

5 Thirty Chapters Trinity Nuclear Strategy

"Alan, I know it has always been your dream to serve in Malaya." After the meeting, Gerald Edward stopped the next High Commissioner for Malaya and said, "Now your dream has come true, congratulations. "

"Gerald, don't you have any grudges in your heart? I don't deny this, and I have been working hard for it for many years." Alan Wilson replied after a moment of pondering, "But it's not out of selfishness."

"I understand, in fact, I am very satisfied to return to Europe!" Gerald Edward shook his head slightly, "and the commissioner to Germany is not an unacceptable position."

"It's more than acceptable, it's very important." Alan Wilson and Gerald Edward walked out of the conference room side by side, "The United States has been pushing for the merger of the three occupied areas, and we have been looking for various reasons to delay it. On the one hand, it is because The interests of the British occupation area, on the other hand, want to slow down the pace of Germany's recovery, but the pressure from the Americans is increasing."

"The situation in Malaya is not stable. In fact, I have always been very complicated about the fact that the proportion of Chinese has increased. On the one hand, ethnic balance is indeed conducive to containment. On the other hand, the northern regime has changed, and now it is on the side of the Soviet Union. Yes, if something goes wrong, Malaya may fall into a full-scale civil war, which is a very dangerous deployment.” Gerald Edwards also said that Malaya’s problems are not that simple.

"If it can't be saved, then a full-scale civil war is not unacceptable. I don't know if the two sides in the civil war want nuclear bombs? As long as they dare to throw each other, I am willing to help them steal it." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, "I'm afraid they won't dare. "

Regarding the development plan of Malaya, Alan Wilson did not disclose it. Over the years, he has been practicing miraculously for some time, and immediately began to revolve around Prime Minister Attlee's Socialist Community of Great Britain, which extended a British Malaya Come to Asia five-year plan.

First of all, we must get rid of the restrictive policy on the Chinese in the tin mining industry. At present, we want to promote exports. Whoever can increase exports is a friend of the Malaya Commissioner. He doesn't care whether the other party is British or Chinese.

This plan also involves the Xiangjiang part. You must know that the largest foreign-funded group in China is not the United States but the United Kingdom. Of course, if Mr. Chang insists on it for a few more years, the US-funded company may surpass the British-funded enterprises, but isn’t Mr. Chang kneeling?The current value of 1 million pounds in assets in China still allows the UK to occupy the No.[-] foreign investment.

The important position of Xiangjiang is self-evident. What is the concept of assets of 8000 million pounds?Last year, the total amount of oil imported by the UK in the Persian Gulf was [-] million pounds.Assets in China are enough to import oil for the UK for three years.Although it is not such a simple conversion, it is enough to prove the value of British capital in China.

While making plans, Alan Wilson also made a list of the assistants he needs. It is better to be a civil servant who has served in British India. The names of Alisa and Edel are on the list.

Two hours later, Pamela Mountbatten returned home. Seeing her man busy, she sat on the side and waited. "What news did you and Mr. de Havilland get this time?"

"The cabinet has restarted the rocket development plan. Mr. de Havilland is very interested in this project, but I haven't considered it yet." Pamela Mountbatten said knowingly, "You and I were in New Delhi at that time. The rocket program was terminated in [-] due to financial problems, and the key to restarting the project this time is that I don’t know much about rockets, will it have an impact on the Air Force?”

"Oh?" Allen Wilson put down his pen, hooked his fingers at Pamela Mountbatten, let her sit on his lap, and said softly, "Does Mr. de Havilland have any relevant skills?"

"Yes? He was studying rockets during the war." Pamela Mountbatten replied obediently, "So he is very interested."

"The matter hasn't been settled yet, right? When you see Minister Albert again, just say that..." Alan Wilson whispered in Pamela Mountbatten's ear about the concept of the Trinity nuclear strike.

In the field of nuclear weapons, the nuclear trinity refers to the ability of a country to have three types of nuclear strikes: land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and strategic bombers.When a country has a trinity of nuclear strike capabilities, it is equivalent to having a comprehensive nuclear deterrent capability.

Because it has the ability to fight back after bearing the first blow, no country can destroy the opponent's nuclear strike capability at one time without receiving the opponent's nuclear retaliation.

Although the United Kingdom has traditionally relied on the Royal Navy to maintain its status, it is currently vigorously developing the air force, and even the foundation of the British Empire has emerged, launching the latest outdated equipment with the latest technology.In fact, it is not entirely correct to say so, but the behavior of serving three strategic bombers at the same time is not like something that old imperialism can do.

From the fact that three strategic bombers are in service at the same time, it can be seen that the current UK is actually in a hurry. After the end of World War II, in order to maintain the face of the empire on which the sun never sets, the UK accelerated the development of nuclear weapons on the one hand and strategic bombers on the other.Among them, three strategic bombers appeared in the United Kingdom, namely "Warrior", "Victor", and "Vulcan", collectively known as "3V" strategic bombers.

At present, the three strategic bombers are already in the process of research and development, and they will be tested in the next two years at most.At present, the United Kingdom regards the air force as an important force to rely on. On the contrary, missiles and submarines have not yet been seen.

"Remember, this is a life-saving thing. If you can persuade the Minister of Defense, don't expect to use this kind of thing to make money." After the face-to-face presentation, Alan Wilson hugged his fiancee's body and said, "If you catch aviation and rockets, In the future, we will find solutions in other fields. But I believe this concept should attract the attention of the Minister of Defense."

Pamela Mountbatten does not have a shipbuilding industry in his hands, because the current shipbuilding industry is very prosperous, and the military industry enterprises that the United Kingdom has dealt with before do not have a shipbuilding industry.

"The rocket is not intended to launch a base, but there is no homeland. If you ask me that, how can I explain it?" Pamela Mountbatten drew inferences from one instance and asked what to do if faced with rhetorical questions.

"Just say that Malaya was built, and I will go to Malaya to take office before the end of the month." Alan Wilson patted Pamela Mountbatten's thigh and said, "Just follow what I said, and you will definitely not suffer. "

As for rocket technology, if facilities such as space launch bases are considered, the UK absolutely cannot build such facilities locally. Later generations of France were established in French Guiana, and France is also a leader in European space technology.

The UK's first artificial satellite launch site is in Australia, just as the nuclear weapons testing site is in Australia.

If possible, the British space center should also be located in Australia. After all, Alan Wilson does not want to miss this air competition. From the perspective of uniting Australia, this is also a good thing.As for the nuclear bomb silo, just put it in Malaya.

Alan Wilson, who mentored Pamela Mountbatten, popularized the concept of the Trinity when she met the Secretary of Defense.Let the current British air force fever cool down a little.Air Force can't solve all problems!

Before taking office, Alan Wilson has issued an executive order in place of Gerald Edward, ordering the local census in Malaya.Also meets with Norman Brooke to submit a colonial report on the development of Malaya.

"The name of the Five-Year Plan?" Norman Brooke couldn't help hesitating when he saw Alan Wilson's report. "Although the Prime Minister called for the establishment of the Socialist Community of Great Britain, it is ultimately different from the Soviet Union. Is this the name?"

"About the five-year plan for national capitalism in Malaya!" Alan Wilson quickly changed his name, "We want to combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism."

"There is nothing wrong with me, Alan. I have already argued for you about the issue of the nuclear weapons test site. Of course, considering the large land and sparse population, there are many opinions in support of Australia." Norman Brook changed the topic, "Of course I still think that Malaya is more suitable from the perspective of strategic position. And our friends, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, are eagerly looking forward to this matter. So things have been settled Now, you, as the local administrator, preside over this nuclear test."

"I'm very honored personally!" Alan Wilson said gratefully, "Almost immediately, I felt empowered."

"As for the transfer plan of the textile industry, I have communicated with some colleagues. It has been assessed that the domestic impact is acceptable. The most important thing is that European countries are rebuilding. The textile industry is the most basic industrial development route. We must Beware of Germany, France and even Sweden. Therefore, it is not unacceptable to be able to stimulate the local production potential of Malaya as a local supplement.”

Norman Brooke said softly, "At the same time, it is also recognized that your proposal for currency reform is to issue Asian pounds, and the exchange rate with British pounds is one to eight. In fact, according to the local living standard, the exchange ratio is one to six. It is more appropriate, but considering the factors that promote exports, it is finally set at one to eight."

"I have won almost everything you asked for for you." Norman Brooke finally emphasized, "Under this condition, you must find a way to let Malaya replace the role of the original British India as soon as possible."

"I promise!" Alan Wilson let out a long breath, and he could understand that not all the benefits brought by the dream come true.

"I went to Malaya to guarantee that I will attend the meeting of the National Defense Affairs Committee!" Norman Brook said.

Alan Wilson understood and left the cabinet secretary's office directly. First, send a telegram to the ladies whose status is waiting for their wives, telling them that he is going to Malaya to take up his post.

Chapter 531 Traveling with Hepburn

After sending telegrams to Bonn, Paris and Los Angeles, Alan Wilson took into account that the year was [-] and wrote a report on the situation in the Far East as the last written report before taking office that did not involve Malaya .

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that, and some content is related to Malaya.

If the Korean War breaks out, Britain will definitely stand on the side of the United States, and no one can stop it.

At most, it is the same as in history. It is unrealistic to send tens of thousands of people to perfunctory and completely throw off the United States for non-cooperation.

In the report on the situation in the Far East, Alan Wilson analyzed the possibility of a war in the Far East from the perspective of China's current national strength and historical habits.and countermeasures for various situations that may arise.

In the content of the opening article, Alan Wilson stated, "Vietnam and North Korea are important areas where the Central Plains dynasty interfered in history. When it comes to these two places, whether it is 1000 years ago or now, China will inevitably interfere. The Manchurian royal family is in the late stage of desperation, and they finally took the risk of huge turbulence to make a move."

"So once something happens in these two places, don't expect no reaction from China. Fortunately, it is the French and the Americans who are currently having headaches."

"As for the Far East that is currently transformed into the Soviet system, it can be inferred from the performance of the Soviet Union in the early stages of the Russian Civil War. What is certain is that its military power far exceeds the defeated artillery of the isolated island. In terms of interests in the Far East, the interests of the United Kingdom and the United States are different. .Once something happens to the United States, it is likely to respond in a stressful manner. Because the United States has just stepped into the center of the world stage and urgently needs to show leadership."

"Once there is a confrontation between major powers, I can conclude that the United States will be extremely difficult to win, or even unable to win at all. From the perspective of the United Kingdom, of course, it must avoid getting involved. If it is really unavoidable, it must be determined whether the scale of the war will intensify the situation in Europe. reasons are taken into account.”

"The British Empire is rampant all over the world. The reason why it has not made much progress in the Far East is that the Qing Dynasty is a very powerful dynasty. It has a strong control force and is even far more difficult to deal with than France, which is also centralized in Europe. We have waited for decades. But I never found an opportunity to strike. Finally, the opportunity came, but a world war broke out."

"Europe has long worried that once the huge population in the East is fully armed, it will be an unimaginably difficult opponent. Now this worry has been partially realized. Once North Korea or Vietnam attracts confrontation between the two countries, then With the support of the Soviet Union, an enemy with almost unlimited manpower cannot be dealt with by the United States."

The analysis of the outbreak of war in North Korea or Vietnam, and the possible response of the opponent, was Alan Wilson's last report to Norman Brooke, because this report was very important, he was directly handed over to Norman Brooke In the hands of Brooke, and with the guarantee of the position of the High Commissioner of Malaya just obtained, as long as the war between the two places breaks out, his prediction will definitely have a huge possibility.

"Alan, you are still so cautious. If you think the situation in the Far East is dangerous, why did the director always introduce Chinese? Isn't that putting the threat into the territory of the British Empire?"

Norman Brook looked at the report submitted by Alan Wilson, which could be described as very alarmist, and asked directly.

"Dear Sir, can we find the answer from the history of the founding of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson said calmly, "It is a well-known fact that the area of ​​​​Emperor Russia is larger than that of the Soviet Union. The country established by the revolutionaries is not just If you are passionate and don’t care about anything, otherwise the Soviet Union should not be led by Stalin, but Trotsky who wants to carry out the world revolution. Malaya is still far away from the mainland, and it is outside the radiation of the mainland.”

"Then how likely is your report to become a reality?" Norman Brook frowned.

"50.00%, there are two answers to any question, right and wrong." Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "but as long as there is a war in North Korea or Vietnam, it can be sure that it is [-]%. I speculate that the United States will not let it go. Of course, the same is true for the opponents of the United States. I don’t care what they do, but I hope that Britain will not be affected. And once the war breaks out, I will try my best to prove to the people of Malaya that the United Kingdom is not the United States, and the two countries are in the final analysis. different."

"Well, I'll leave this report here first." Norman Brook nodded. He actually didn't quite believe the authenticity of this report, but the person sitting in front of him was an oriental expert, so he decided to go first. Put the report away, maybe you can use it later.

"If the Korean War breaks out, it is estimated that the whole of Whitehall will think that no one knows the East better than me." Alan Wilson walked out of the cabinet office and said to himself. The battle of human settings.

In Malaya, which is about to go, there are currently two major ethnic groups, one of which is the Peace Religion group. Alan Wilson does not know much about it, but this is not a big problem. The difference, if there is a real difference, the peace believers have been hammered by Europe even worse.

The move to introduce Chinese in recent years is also sacrificing the interests of peace believers, so what?That's it!

After setting the time to take office, Allen Wilson notified many colleagues who had been in British India, and began to prepare for his next job, trying to make a breakthrough with Hepburn.

Needless to say, he wanted to get the dream girl in the eyes of countless men from both East and West. Now that Audrey Hepburn hadn't become famous, he had this possibility as his goal.

Ready to use the last bit of time in London to plan what to do, Alan Wilson returned home, of course Pamela Mountbatten was there, and there was also a problem child of the royal family of the British Empire, Princess Margaret.

"You're back!" Princess Margaret was sitting in the living room, but greeted the owner of the house first.

"Oh, dear princess, it's very surprising." Alan Wilson's face changed slightly, and then he looked around and shouted, only to get a response from Pamela Mountbatten upstairs, and he felt a lot easier. He said friendly, "Since you're here, you're welcome, please sit down."

"I heard from Pamela that you are going to Malaya to serve as a commissioner, and the conditions in such a far away place must be very poor." Princess Margaret sat down obediently and asked, "Actually, what's wrong with staying in London. "

"If you only consider the convenience of life, there is nothing wrong with London." Alan Wilson said with a chuckle, "Dear princess, do you want to be a respected princess of a powerful country? Or do you want to be Prince Philip?" What about members of the royal family? In fact, with the power of the UK itself, it is not much stronger than Greece, and even from a historical and cultural perspective, the UK is not as good as Greece. Can you imagine the consequences of the UK losing all its overseas territories?"

"You can't, and I don't want to, either. It's not in line with Whitehall's ideas. It probably doesn't meet the ideas of Pamela and those nobles." Alan Wilson asked himself and answered, "So we have to build a system that is sufficient for ourselves. To ensure that there is no disruption to the system in place, colleagues in Whitehall have worked hard and have the support of the Prime Minister."

"Are you doing this for the royal family?" Princess Margaret whispered, "No wonder Pamela defends you so much."

"It's just that the general direction is in line with the interests of the royal family. It's not for the royal family, but I will always support the kingdom, because I understand that without the royal family, the development of the UK is far from the rivals of Canada and Australia."

"Darling is back?" Pamela Mountbatten came down from the stairs with a smile on her face, and said as she walked, "The princess is here as a guest today, I hope you won't be angry because of it, I know you like to be quiet."

"I dare not!" Alan Wilson said with his head held high, "If you wear a skirt, you will be gone, come down quickly."

It's going to rain.The sky was dark, with gray-purple clouds covering the sky, and it was almost impossible to distinguish the sky or the ground.There was a pungent smell in the air, and the cold wind seemed to seep into Audrey Hepburn's bone marrow.The branches were rustling by the wind, and the sad sound struck her heart.

Too busy to stare at the clouds, yet she kept feeling them approaching.Driven by a sense of urgency, she checked the engine, made sure it had enough fuel, and carried firewood inside the house and onto the porch behind the kitchen.

Maybe her instincts were wrong.Perhaps, as the weather forecast said, it will rain heavily for a whole day.

But she trusts her instincts.This is her third year in the UK, and every time it rains, she always feels the same bristling hairs, as if the air is full of energy, and nature is ready to go.Whether it was the static in the air, or some ancient magical sixth sense, there was always some uneasiness running down her spine.

She doesn't mind being alone.But it is not easy to close all the holiday cabins by one person.Eight holiday cottages, some of which are more than one bedroom, dot the shores of the scenic, fish-rich lake.

She had to make sure the doors and windows were closed tightly against the wind; the water valves had to be turned off to drain the water from the pipes before they could freeze and burst after the power went out.She was sure that the power would be interrupted, it was only a matter of time.

"I didn't expect to encounter such weather when I came to Scotland." Although Alan Wilson shouted God's blessing in his heart, he still verbally expressed his apology to Audrey Hepburn.

"It seems that it is difficult to go back." Audrey Hepburn sighed, feeling that it was a wrong decision to be called out by Alan Wilson for vacation. She didn't want to come out at first, but she couldn't bear the man's soft-heartedness.

Chapter 532 Fate's Preference

"I didn't expect to encounter such weather when I came to Scotland." Although Alan Wilson shouted God's blessing in his heart, he still verbally expressed his apology to Audrey Hepburn.

"It seems that it is difficult to go back." Audrey Hepburn sighed, feeling that it was a wrong decision to be called out by Alan Wilson for vacation. She didn't want to come out at first, but she couldn't bear the man's soft-heartedness.

"Audrey, don't be impatient!" Alan Wilson comforted, he cherished the last bit of time in his hometown.

Audrey Hepburn also knew that the man who took her on a trip was about to go to Malaya to take up a post, so she agreed to come out reluctantly. The bad weather in Scotland cannot be attributed to the other party.

Alan Wilson turned on the light and lit a fire in the grate.After confirming that the wood had burned, I turned on all the lights in the room. Although it was stormy outside and large drops of water fell on the glass, the room was not affected, and there was still a warm atmosphere.

The long-awaited trip is sure to come to naught, and it's too early to go to bed.Audrey Hepburn felt something should be done, but didn't know what to do.She walked back and forth boredly, the sharp wind torturing her nerves.Maybe a warm bath will help.She went upstairs, undressing along the way.The heat has risen to the second floor, and the room has become extremely hot.

She filled the bathtub with water and soaked in the comforting hot water.Her hair was tied in a bun on her head, and the light from the bathroom fell on her, reflecting her looming body, and seemed to accentuate the fullness of her peaks, and the hair between her legs was particularly dark and mysterious.

This is also a body that has not changed since birth. For a long time, until the water temperature receded, the heavy rain still did not pass. Audrey Hepburn went downstairs, and the fireplace filled with wood made the whole room warm. , no longer the cold feeling before, just wearing relaxed home clothes, she watched Alan Wilson busy, using the reserves in this Scottish country house to prepare food for the two of them.

"The conditions are a little rough, which is beyond my expectation. Few things are beyond my expectation." Alan Wilson is not proficient in making potato cakes, but fortunately, he has never lacked The courage to try.

Audrey Hepburn came to help, and suddenly she had an illusion that this was a couple living a simple and ordinary life.

But he understands that this man is a promising new star in Whitehall, and he will soon set off halfway around the world to become the chief executive of a land twice the size of the United Kingdom. With a sharp pen, decide what kind of future you can have.

"Let's have a cup of cocoa first, just wait a while." Patting the woman on the shoulder, Alan Wilson didn't have time to feel the elasticity of his body under the pajamas, so he asked the woman to wait.

"Yeah." For no reason, Audrey Hepburn sat on the side following the man's wishes, watching the man busy, "Just go half a world away, and I heard that the locals are full of aliens."

"They are all human, and there is no need to distinguish between different races. In fact, most people have some xenophobic thoughts in their hearts, but most of them don't say it." Alan Wilson continued while making food, "Don't think that the colonial People must be afraid of the British, and what they fear is the British, not the British."

"Do we have to maintain overseas colonies? I always feel that this is wrong." Audrey Hepburn said cautiously, "This is just a feeling, I have no other meaning."

"It's not correct, but it must be maintained, because there is no better way at the moment. And I myself will not treat the local area as a colony, I will manage it in the same way as the local area." Alan Wilson turned and filled in Some wood, continued, "Goodness and evil are things of the Anglican Church, and all I can do is to give a stable environment and prevent the things that happened in British India from happening again. The Indian movement to save the saints was initiated by me."

This surprised Audrey Hepburn. Although she lived in the Netherlands for a long time, she also stayed in the UK for more than two years. During the last period of her stay in British India, in order to make the local people give up on British India more Mentally prepared, public opinion has reported on the bad habits and ignorance of the entire British India for a long time.

Naturally, the British media must focus on the deeds discovered by conscience in the last two years. Among them, the whole subcontinent united to fight against the drought and the action of liberating the Hindu holy woman occupied a lot of space.

Audrey Hepburn knew all these things. As a woman, she naturally sympathized with the tragic experience of the Hindu saint. Thinking of this, she said, "It turns out that this action was carried out by you."

"It is correct to say that it is dominant. The power of overseas civil servants is not the same as that of the local government. This is the reason why many overseas civil servants are reluctant to return to China. The reason why Comet airliners are actively ordered in major colonies is also because of the convenience of local civil servants. They want to Stay there when you have to do things, and you can come back anytime you want to rest." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and explained, "I will try my best to spare time to come back to see you."

Sensing that Audrey Hepburn was interested in this topic, Alan Wilson said a few more words about what he believed to be women's equal rights, and pointed out the difference between slogan-style pastoral women's rights and real women's equal rights.
