British civil servant

This does not mean that Australia cannot develop high technology, but that it cannot continue to invest in good technology.In fact, many so-called high technologies can be carried out by any country at the initial stage. The problem is not the beginning, but the process.

As far as the lithography machine is concerned, the principle of the lithography machine is actually as simple as a slide projector, which is to project light through a mask with a circuit diagram onto a wafer coated with photosensitive adhesive.In the lithography of the early 60s, the mask plate was attached to the wafer in a one-to-one size, and the wafer was only one inch in size at that time.

Lithography was not a high-tech industry at that time, and semiconductor companies usually designed their own tooling and tools. When Japan began to enter the field of lithography machines, lithography machines were no more complicated than cameras.

Then engineers at the Philips R&D lab in the Netherlands built a machine: one that tried to make money legally like printing money.But they didn't realize at the time that they had created a "monster," a machine that would do nothing but swallow money for the next 20 years.

Decades of investment but no market is unacceptable to any company, but the companies that persist, after generations of investment, finally turn the low-threshold lithography machine into a source that the world's largest companies rely on , then it is time to harvest.

Therefore, lithography machines and even the entire semiconductor industry require massive funds and replacement technologies.In fact, it is not an industry that can make money lying down. It is no different from the [-] assembly line. No one would have thought that after decades of high investment and no income, it will become an industry that is stuck with various giants in later generations.

Alan Wilson is very clear in his heart that once he chooses to hold the semiconductor industry in the hands of the United Kingdom, then from ten years later, the United Kingdom will continue to invest heavily in this industry, at least until the Thatcher era. results.

Compared with decades of continuous investment, Australia only needs to sell mines to live a good life. Even if you have this heart at the beginning, how can you earn such hard money after a long time.

Seeing that her husband was bored, Pamela Mountbatten thought for a long time and decided to take her husband to the Wumera launch site for inspection.Of course, I didn’t forget to bring a lot of medicine. After all, compared with other continents, Australia is like an alien world. Many inconspicuous things are deadly.

"This kind of cautious character is very similar to your husband." Alan Wilson was very happy, thinking that Pamela Mountbatten still had a chance to prove the truth on the road of prudence and bravery.

Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Pamela Mountbatten is the woman he raised since childhood, and they think the same every time.Allen Wilson will feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

The Wumera launch site was built by the United Kingdom in Australia, and it really does not have this condition when it originated from the United Kingdom.In name, it is used jointly by Britain and Australia. In fact, Australia can't help much except providing the venue.

Of course, Britain is not a strong presence in the field of rockets, at least it is incomparable with the United States and the Soviet Union.However, Alan Wilson knew that although the United States had huge funds and technology looted from Germany for a period of time after the war, it did not know what the rocket field was useful for.

Those with vested interests are always conservative, far less willing to invest in new fields than challengers. This is the so-called latecomer advantage.

For the United States, maintenance is the best way to gain an advantage, so it is actually not very interested in aerospace.This is the main reason why the Soviet Union first sent humans into space. The United States only woke up after Gagarin went to space, relying on its ability to catch up.

The current main function of the Wumera launch site is actually to test the British missile project. In fact, London's future development of missiles is estimated to be similar to that of the United States. It thinks it should be developed, but it has not yet figured out how to develop it.

"Honey, do you have a share of this launch center?" Alan Wilson took his wife's hand and walked around the only space launch site in the southern hemisphere. De Havilland is now a British company that researches missiles. Melamount Patton has become a shareholder of the parent company of the Comet Airliner.

"Yes, Mr. de Havilland's project needs this launch site. And my important industry itself is in Australia." Pamela Mountbatten told her husband without any concealment, "Now the funds for the project It all depends on the state's appropriation, and I don't know if I should continue to invest."

"This is a life-saving thing, and of course it is worth continuing to invest in. As for civilian use, it is also useful." Alan Wilson understood as soon as he heard it that the UK was still confused about how to use it for both military and civilian purposes.

But it doesn't matter, God is not born, my keyboard man's spray is like a long night, since the Wumaila launch site and the project of this launch site have his own share, he can control it.

It may not be appropriate to say what satellite TV and satellite phone are, but I have a general understanding.In the name of science, it is still possible to help his wife point out a firm path to enlightenment.

Listening to her husband's cloudy words, Pamela Mountbatten still nodded frequently as if cooperating.She is no longer the little girl she was back then, and she is well aware of this man's thoughts that are difficult to speak out but want to achieve his goals.

Anyway, it's her husband, even if he doesn't hear anything dry, as long as he feels that this field is important and needs to be developed, it doesn't matter if he invests first, just treat it as buying a big toy.

"You don't seem to believe me!" Allen Wilson pinched his waist and was not surprised. He just couldn't explain his future development clearly. How could the woman he was raised from a young age have doubts about him?

"Don't say what you said makes sense, but it doesn't make sense at all. You are my husband, and I want to help." Pamela Mountbatten gave Alan Wilson a blank look, and also showed from the side that she didn't believe her husband Words.

"I don't know whether I should be happy or sad." Alan Wilson frowned, and directly reached out and patted his wife's buttocks. With a crisp sound, Pamela Mountbatten almost jumped up.Looking left and right, blushing, he whispered, "You are crazy, this is a launch site, what if no one sees you?"

"See what's wrong? You are my wife!" Allen Wilson looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle, as if the sun and the moon were flowing in his eyes, with a look of indomitable arrogance, he really wanted to shout out, key...

Australia is in summer, and the climate is much more comfortable than that of Malaya. The two decided to go around and stay in a manor in Perth. Black hair bun, but the heart is focused on taking every step carefully, teasing her cold limbs with the promise of warmth.

Numerous servants came and went in the beautifully furnished hall, their modest clothes reminded her of costumes she had seen in plays.

"I really didn't expect that in Australia, you and the princess almost lived a life in the nineteenth century." Although Alan Wilson was the husband of the owner of the manor, he felt out of place.

Alan Wilson imagined what it would be like to be an English aristocrat, a dandy with a greasy face, rich clothes and jewelry to hide the fact that he was already drunk.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help grinning, and he had decided that it would be better to return to Kuala Lumpur immediately to benefit the imperial subjects of Malaya.He really didn't expect that Pamela Mountbatten would bring the exquisiteness of domestic castles to Australia. It seems that many Australians still follow this set.

"Margaret is a princess, and she always follows me around, and I always think about her." Pamela Mountbatten denied that she was indulging in a hypocritical and luxurious aristocratic life, saying that all this was for the sake of Her Royal Highness, don't For a long time, I forgot the court etiquette.

Alan Wilson glanced at his wife suspiciously, believed the explanation for the time being, nodded and said, "I'll just say you're not like this."

"It's just a dance, it has nothing to do with red tape, right?" Pamela Mountbatten offered the invitation, looking at her husband expectantly, she cheered up and snickered inwardly.She would curtsey gracefully, and he would give her a casual glance before extending his hand in a tailored glove.

Chapter 738 The British and French Allied Forces

Green-colored living room, a tall and bright room, pink marble pillars supporting the carved ceiling, four elegant crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, the light of the stars dances on the gold-plated chair wrapped in silk cloth, Everything here seems to be bathed in green moss.

Alan Wilson felt that he was definitely a member of the upper class, so he always did dirty things.

But of course this is also normal. If you don't kill a few national leaders, are you ashamed to say that you are a colonist?He has the nerve to say that he is patriotic without cheating a few countries. Based on this principle, he now has a sentence he wants to say to his wife, and he doesn't know if it should be said at this time. My second brother is invincible...

The two never evade, and there is a certain degree of interest in the marriage between the two.Although it is not pure love, but after facing it calmly, we get along more harmoniously and make the relationship stronger.

Driven by the music and his wife, Alan Wilson danced to the rhythm of his wife. He is definitely a layman, but the atmosphere has been set in place at this time, and it is the best choice to continue following his wife's ideas.

"Look how stupid you are!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled, as if she was very happy to discover something her husband was not good at.

Alan Wilson will not comment on such slanderous and rumor-mongering remarks at all, and will reserve the power to pursue responsibility.

Except for a very few places in Australia, the rest of Australia is a bad land with a proportion no lower than that of Egypt.

Like a thief, he found time to send birthday wishes to Vivien Leigh and Heidi Lamarr. Alan Wilson wanted to return to Kuala Lumpur and continue to shine for the well-being of Malaya citizens.

Anyway, things in Australia are already too late. Even Hayato Ikeda has returned to Japan. It is not interesting for him to stay here. Do you want to watch Australia's Gobi Desert sketch?

But Pamela Mountbatten doesn't want her husband to leave so soon, she still has some things to ask, since there is nothing to go around on land, let's go to the Great Barrier Reef.

"A Great Barrier Reef Foundation should be established!" Alan Wilson sat on the private yacht belonging to Pamela Mountbatten, saying that the existence of the Great Barrier Reef was an excellent reason to establish a foundation.

"What's the point of this?" Pamela Mountbatten, who stood on the edge and looked up at Her Royal Highness, turned her head and asked about the joint.

"The water in environmental protection is deep, and it is tenable in name." When Alan Wilson mentioned this topic, he immediately felt relieved. To be honest, he was born immune to beautiful scenery, and no beautiful scenery is better than women. Dress more beautifully.

In his eyes, the world-famous Great Barrier Reef is not as important as the government. This is his opportunity to prove the truth, and he cannot give up.

Not only his wife, but Princess Margaret, who followed wherever she went, was also very interested in following her.

This made Alan Wilson very vigilant. The princess kissed him in the cabin just now, and he frowned and muttered that the princess was still disobedient, which calmed down Princess Margaret.

The issue of environmental protection is no stranger to the current UK. The London smog incident has just passed, and the casualties caused are still lingering. If it were not for the rapid public relations success of the Labor Party, it would definitely lose support.

Alan Wilson is an environmentalist, because he wants to use this proposal to transfer at least part of the British heavy industry to Malaya. Pamela Mountbatten knows this well. She did it all.

Once the government is in charge, it is the time when Alan Wilson is in high spirits, giving advice to the country, and he is invincible.He even forgot that there was a dragoon waiting for him in Kuala Lumpur, patronizing to testify here.

Environmental protection is also a good issue of moral kidnapping. Of course, the civilized world should pay attention to environmental protection and not protect animals. If some resource-rich countries are allowed to exploit resources one-sidedly and irresponsibly to complete industrialization, it will not be a good thing for the world.

This kind of hard work should be handed over to imperialism, and the vast third world should pursue men farming and women weaving. If you wear animal skins with spears, Alan Wilson will never object anyway.

In his eyes, environmental protection only protects animals, not people. It doesn't matter whether people in the third world live well or not.

After completing the sightseeing tour of the Great Barrier Reef, Pamela Mountbatten has a new understanding of how to protect the environment, and Alan Wilson is ready to return. Malaya cannot leave Ai Zhongtang for a day.

"What is Optimus Pillar?" Alan Wilson stepped back tactically, deeply aware of the responsibility on his body, and he still has to carry the burden of the British Empire forward, no matter how hard it is, he must continue.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you stay for a while?" Princess Margaret was not very happy. The two of them still had too little private space. After all, the rightful owner was on the side, and many things were very inconvenient.

"Your Highness, I have the responsibility to serve the country in my heart." Alan Wilson said sternly, "There is really not much time. Of course I want to take care of public and private interests, but this is the only way I can do it."

Heidi Lamarr and Vivien Leigh absolutely agree with these words, even in Australia, he has not forgotten their birthdays.

At the end of the year, Alan Wilson will preside over the meeting of overseas commissioners, and then hand over the situation to London. After that, Whitehall will conduct a verification at the beginning of the next year. Britain is a country that respects case law, and this is becoming a habit.

As for the situation in Vietnam, it is still in the grinding stage, and the French army wants to find a chance to severely injure the opponent.Copy the previous victory and negotiate peace when you have the advantage.

Of course, there is still time. On the first day in Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson returned to the apartment where Anna lived after finishing his daily work, unloading his exhaustion.

Anna took out the professional salary she had collected on her behalf, and put it in front of the man who just came back, it was not a small number.Allen Wilson's professional salary in the UK is received by his wife Pamela Mountbatten.

The salary that Anna recently helped to collect on behalf of Ali Khan was together with Ali Khan's ten sultans who gave him a non-staff ministerial allowance.If he doesn't take the kindness of others, it will make many respected sultans feel uncomfortable.

"This time the Japanese suffered a big loss, but the British didn't get any benefits. I really don't know what you are going to join in the fun." Anna was a little resentful, making her wait for a long time.

"Collecting a little interest for the Malayan campaign." Alan Wilson said without hesitation, "It's also a good thing to dig a hole for future Malayan opponents, killing two birds with one stone."

Alan Wilson squinted his eyes slightly, and he still had some sequelae of flying. Anna saw it and immediately went to put in the bath water, preparing to relieve her man's fatigue. The final result was that the man was naturally even more tired.

The commander of the British Army stationed in Malaya formed an advisory group to go to Vietnam for inspection. Naturally, it would not actually go to the battlefield, but it only nominally reflected the unity of Britain and France after the war.This proposal has been approved by the London Government!

Times are changing, but the traditions of the British Empire remain unchanged. Even if there is no war, it is necessary to gain a sense of presence.With this kind of opportunity without paying any cost, the British military also likes to join in the fun.

And this advisory group will keep in touch with the British Army Command in Malaya to exchange information so that the UK can better understand the movement in Vietnam. Why does Alan Wilson know because he is now in the British Army Command.

General Bilton, the commander of the British army, also wanted to see how the French army fought after the war and get first-hand information about the French army.

But with all due respect to Alan Wilson, is the British army qualified to advise the French army on how to fight on land?It seems that the British army on land is not as reliable as the French army.

"How is Alan's vacation, how is Pamela?" General Bilton did not express his impatience with the arrival of the uninvited guests. Alan Wilson, the chief executive, was considered half of himself to the military.

"She is also busy and is starting to build a genetic laboratory." Alan Wilson mentioned the plan of the Mountbatten Group to continue investing in biotechnology before returning.

Last year's article on DNA in the domestic Nature magazine finally made Pamela Mountbatten interested.It is preparing to increase investment under the group's biotechnology department.

As a pioneer in the field of biotechnology, Alan Wilson is of course very supportive. Although he feels that his dream of immortality in this life is slim, he should keep it in mind, right?

General Bilton is obviously not interested in this topic. He is more interested in watching the French shed blood from the perspective of a bystander.

"General, why do you want to send an advisory group? Although Malaya and Vietnam do not border, we have a navy that can defend against infiltration. But I don't see the point." Alan Wilson brought the topic back to the topic, "Is it rash? Some?"

He thinks that it is better to wait for the United States in the pit of Vietnam. What is it that Britain sends an advisory group now?Form an Anglo-French coalition?Isn't this a joke, just the small body of the UK now?It's not enough to include Australia and New Zealand.

"The advisory group is only conducting observations in Saigon, and nothing will happen." Bilton told him to be calm and explained, "We will not get involved in the Vietnam War, and we just want to accumulate some useful experience through observation. "

"That couldn't be better!" Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "If I really want to intervene in the war, I can't think of any good solution except to use a battleship formation to bombard the coastal cities of Vietnam one by one."

In fact, you can really do this when necessary. Anyway, Vietnam can’t reach Malaya, so what are you afraid of?

"Even this step is not necessary, we just need to express our attitude to a limited extent. Don't let the French say that we are not helping at all." General Bilton chuckled, "Saigon is still very safe, and the advisory group can withdraw at any time ... the French government has expressed its gratitude for our move."

Alan Wilson nodded, maybe the Frenchman watched from the side when he saw his old enemy, and maybe he worked harder.

Chapter 739 Of course I forgive her

"Anyway, land conflicts should be avoided by the UK. After all, Vietnam is part of the mainland, not the environment on the Malaya side." Alan Wilson is not a soldier, but soldiers are not necessarily qualified to speak on some issues.

Moreover, he is only cautiously optimistic about the British troops stationed in these colonies. You can see that the British troops in Southeast Asia faced the Japanese troops going south in World War II. The Battle of Xiangjiang cannot be used as an example.

After all, in a place with a lot of booger in Xiangjiang, the British army defended it for [-] days is already remarkable. Not to mention the British army's defense, it is impossible for any country to turn its back on the sea and win.With inferior military strength, no air supremacy, no logistical supplies, and even the inferior artillery of the Japanese army, it is not easy to surrender after [-] days

The shame of the British army was the battle of Singapore. If Xiangjiang is too small, the area of ​​British Malaya is not small. How could the British high-level officials carefully choose Singapore, which has an environment similar to Xiangjiang, as the location of the decisive battle? .

The whole of British Malaya couldn't choose any place, and chose an isolated island that was extremely easy to besieged. In the end, it lost a big man in front of the whole world.

Considering that the garrisons in Malaya are British and Indian troops, it is not incomprehensible that the combat power is limited, but the final damage to the Japanese army is indeed unqualified. In view of this, the British troops stationed in the colony will never be allowed to go to the battlefield. .

It is not impossible for General Bilton to form a military advisory group to observe.Once this range is exceeded, Alan Wilson will start the countermeasures with his wife before. It is better to ask the father-in-law to transfer the unruly garrison commander away.Don't waste Malaya's precious development time.

General Bilton assured that it was a purely military advisory group, and he never thought of really helping the French fight.

Alan Wilson believed in this, helping the French fight, even he, France's most sincere ally, could not do it.

Alan Wilson and Heidi Lamarr are still in touch, greeting each other and cultivating a bond after birthday telegrams.At the same time, I also learned about the latest plan of Woodpecker Films, which is planning to make a million pound movie.

In the telegram, Alan Wilson expressed his congratulations on this, but also said that he missed the new Oscar winner very much.

Heidi Rama finally took a different path in history and shed the popular perception of vases with The Beautiful Tale of Sicily.From this year onwards, she is not the star who is remembered by virtue of her beauty, and her honor has also deepened.

Compared with Vivien Leigh, who has been sealed twice, Heidi Lamarr finally has a decent work now.

Heidi Lamarr, who was thousands of miles away in Paris, held the man's telegram in her hand, and her heart was full of enthusiasm, wishing to go to distant Asia to see it.

"Heidi, what did that eloquent man say again? See how you lost your mind." Seeing this state, Ingrid Bergman asked slightly sourly, even she didn't realize it.

"He said he missed us!" Heidi Rama said with a smile, "How nice to be young? There are always so many demands. Are you going to see him?"

"Of course I will go when I have time!" Ingrid Bergman held her head up, not feeling embarrassed to be in front of another woman.

Alan Wilson has helped the two of them a lot in their careers. It cannot be said that this is the whole reason, but people's hearts are full of flesh. Whenever they meet, they cannot remain indifferent to the care and help shown by men.

In Kuala Lumpur, where the season rotation does not exist, Alan Wilson presides over the year-end meeting as he prepares to name the Christmas Island commissioner at the center of the meeting, which he hopes to put in place by the end of his first term. British Malaya's steel output equaled that of the British mainland.

Sales are not a problem. The UK is stepping up the development of its colonies. The demand exists. Even the almost stagnant steel production in the UK is rising. Together with the demand for orders from the airport in the Middle East and the Aswan Dam in Egypt, the external conditions are quite favorable.

"Don't think about the sales volume, let me raise the output. The greater the value of the colony under your feet, London will not give up. Our good days are yet to come!" Alan Wilson glanced at a dog-like commissioner from various places , Shi Shiran said, "Don't let me say ugly things first, it's related to whether you have reliable qualities."

"Yes, Commissioner!" All of them pledged in unison, eager to prove their reliability.

"Very good! This year is coming to an end. I believe London must be very happy with the income of [-] million pounds. After six years of leaving British India, I finally found a perfect replacement in another place, although the manpower cannot be compared. than, but for everyone, this place is better, and it is easier to use everyone's working ability." Alan Wilson concluded with satisfaction, "As long as this valuable colony exists, the authority of Whitehall will exist."

Since the independence of British India, Alan Wilson has always wanted to find a place to show his talents.In his opinion British Malaya was better than British India.

The biggest advantage of British India is that once Britain faces a war, it can mobilize infinite manpower to join the war.But now the threat of world war has disappeared, everyone is equal before the nuclear bomb, as before, the days when those in power mobilized cannon fodder in the name of patriotism, let the ass die and hide behind are over.

The target of nuclear bomb attacks is big cities first, and the value of those in power is greater than that of the people. Under this kind of threat, no country dares to fight easily. Some remarks about world war are now used by governments to scare the people. .

Under such circumstances, the greatest manpower advantage of British India at the time was of little value to the United Kingdom.In terms of economic development, Britain has never had the ability to industrialize British India. Britain does not have so much industry for India, and it does not have this idea. Once British India industrializes, it will be a threat to Britain.

British Malaya, which is much smaller in size, can still be under the control of the United Kingdom for industrialization. As long as all the 1000 million people in Malaya can be put into production, it will be of great help to the United Kingdom.
