British civil servant

After the transition between Dubai and Colombo, Comet [-] landed in Perth, the capital of Western Australia. This is the first choice for British immigrants in recent years. It is said that it is the first choice. The whole of Western Australia occupies one-third of Australia’s area, no more than India. How small is the place, only near Perth can be the director.

In terms of climate, the whole country of Australia is not good. The vicinity of Perth is already considered good. At least the climate is stable, and there is no need to think about the singing of birds and flowers. It can be regarded as a weakened version of Punjab, India.

In many places, a stable climate is the biggest advantage. This is the case in Perth and Punjab. Compared with the changeable climate, at least the people here can enjoy some good basic conditions.

There are not many places in Australia that can be used to develop agriculture. Of the 760 million square kilometers of land, less than 50 have agricultural uses, and one near Perth is counted.

Compared with the three major cities in the southeastern corner of Australia that have already been developed, Perth has long been regarded as a small transparent city.

But with the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, the status of Western Australia has risen, and its political status and financial power have risen.

The advantage of the rising star is that the vicinity of Perth has not been over-developed, and many lessons of the east coast can be avoided in Perth. The president of the Mountbatten Group and the royal princess arrived in Perth, and the governor Ross McLarty appeared immediately. The distinguished guests expressed their welcome.

After paying tribute to the President of the Mountbatten Group and Her Royal Highness, it was the turn of the son-in-law, "Mr. Wilson, welcome to Western Australia. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be strengthened here?"

"Education can also be added. If I have the ability, I will try to let Oxford and Cambridge help Western Australia develop education." Alan Wilson responded friendly, "In fact, based on the current conditions in Western Australia, it has become It is only a matter of time before Australia becomes the richest place, and when it becomes a developed place, the relevant conditions must keep up."

Alan Wilson expressed his intention to use the education industry to harvest leeks in Western Australia with very considerate words.As long as the tricks are relatively old and effective, Western Australia fully has this condition.

"Mr. Wilson is optimistic about the development here. It's really gratifying." Ross McLarty is very happy. After the various minerals contained in Western Australia were discovered one by one by the major exploration teams of the Mountbatten Group, the financial revenue has skyrocketed. Western Australia, changed the previous look up to the east coast.

With money in hand, the government of Western Australia has more ideas and is determined to build Perth into a city that surpasses the east coast.

Alan Wilson understands this psychology very well, and the source of many regional contradictions lies in comparison.In the past, there was a clear gap between Western Australia and the east coast. At that time, people on the east coast did not look down on other places, nor did they value them very much.

Later generations of Western Australia have long been the wealthiest state in Australia, and there are faint voices of dissatisfaction with the Australian government.

This is normal, the whole of Australia is built on the sale of Western Australian iron ore, and the poor people on the east coast are always dictating Western Australia, so they are tired of it.

There are many such things, and Shanghai always feels that the imperial capital has too much control, which is quite similar to the current psychology of Western Australia.The difference is nothing more than the fact that one has a favorable location and the other occupies resources, and the foundations are different.

"What do you think?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, what did she think of Rose McLarty's attitude.

"Yes, the necessary separation of Western Australia will help maintain British influence in Australia. We don't necessarily have to dictate to Australia, but some necessary contradictions will help make things easier." Alan Wilson laughed quite happy.

"But it looks like Rose McLarty is very proud." Princess Margaret also said.

"That's how people are. It's God's fault to live a bad life. It's the result of my personal efforts. It's so normal!" Alan Wilson sneered, "It's just a place to sell resources. I really think I'm so great. ? Throwing all the people here to the inland desert, they can still develop so well, besides, they are amazing."

Several people decided to rest in Perth for a few days, mainly the domineering female CEO and Her Royal Highness, who needed to do something close to the people.

As for Alan Wilson, he also has tasks, first of all, to look after the children, and to make some plans for the development of the British Malaya colony. Now that the stage of laying the foundation has passed, the future development of the Malaya colony must be carefully planned. It takes a while.

Alan Wilson started development planning for an unrelated place in the capital of Western Australia.

From the memory of the previous life, the development ideas of the provinces of a certain big country are nothing more than two.In the early stage of opening up, there was no plan, and going to the coast to work was the way out.But as time passed, the provinces also began to come to their senses and try to build a development route.

The fundamental reason is that without a development route, it will cause the loss of local talents.There are generally two main plans, one is wolf pack tactics, and the other is strong provincial capital strategy.

Not all the plans at the beginning were completely suitable. For example, Jiangsu and Shandong used wolf pack tactics at the beginning, but Jiangsu was fine, while Shandong was not very successful. It has already changed its strategy like a strong provincial capital.

The main purpose of strengthening the provincial capital is to prevent the outflow of local talents. If the basic conditions are not so good, use the power of the whole province to concentrate on the development of the provincial capital and lock in the trend of brain drain.

The strategy of strengthening the provincial capital in the southwest was implemented relatively early, but it was quickly followed by other provinces. After all, the objective conditions of Jiangsu are not available in most places, and even Shandong has turned to it.

Alan Wilson believes that West Malaysia can use wolf pack tactics. Penang, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore can develop simultaneously, but East Malaysia cannot follow suit. Sarawak and Sabah in East Malaysia can only choose a strong provincial capital strategy .

The population of East Malaysia is only one-fifth of that of the entire Malayan colony. It is not bad to be able to build two core cities. It is purely overthinking to go hand in hand with West Malaysia.

"Looking at it this way, my second term is not yet time to spread eggs." Alan Wilson looked at the just completed walking on two legs plan, and when his term of imperial commissioner ended, he would not be able to govern the country without the prime minister.

8 Chapter Forty

The uranium mine was discovered in the Northern Territory of Australia, with an area of ​​less than 150 million square kilometers. The entire Northern Territory has a population of less than [-] permanent residents. The most important port and city is Darwin.

Although Australia is sparsely populated, the Northern Territory has clearly reached another level. It is doubtful whether the local population is larger than the resident crocodiles.

With such a small population, the Northern Territory is a territory directly under the Australian government.Alan Wilson can't talk to a local governor, he can only talk to Canberra, not like in Western Australia, just talk to Governor Ross McLarty.

Perth's local newspapers and radio stations focused on the news of Princess Margaret's arrival in Perth with a lot of content.There is no doubt that Princess Margaret's status as a royal princess and her unique temperament have attracted the attention of Perth people.

Many Perth residents, who were British citizens only a few years ago, came here with the dream of finding a relaxing place to live, and they still think of themselves as British in their hearts.

The image of Princess Margaret was playing on the TV, which was very attractive and eye-catching.

Facing the TV, Alan Wilson was having a verbal dispute with Her Royal Highness, and he had already occupied the high ground with one hand.Blasphemy to Her Royal Highness, who is popular in Perth.

After a long time, the two were short of breath before they separated. On the screen, Princess Margaret was saying that she liked Perth very much.

"Her Royal Highness is so popular in Australia." Even if the salty pig hand didn't stop for a moment, Alan Wilson still didn't forget to give advice to the princess on the screen.

"You bastard." Princess Margaret looked at the man tenderly, "If people know that you treat me like this, you are finished, and your life will be extremely dark."

"So? Will Your Highness allow such a thing to happen?" Pulling Her Royal Highness into her arms and looking at each other closely, Alan Wilson's questioning seemed a bit aggressive.

"Of course... no, no!" Princess Margaret stammered out a satisfactory answer.

"Very good, this is the fascinating reaction." Alan Wilson was very happy. He felt that this year, there might be a breakthrough, although he did not dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness in the UK.

But in this free world, it is not difficult to find a safe place to fill the emotional emptiness of the princess.

Judging from the princess's reaction now, she absolutely does not reject the emotional emptiness being filled, and she is completely interested in love and concubine.

Alan Wilson was satisfied that he had tested the bottom line of Her Royal Highness, and in a happy mood, he felt that there was no reason why this trip to Australia could not be a complete success.

A few days later, the family of three, including Her Royal Highness, flew to Canberra, the capital of Australia, by plane.

On Comet [-], looking down at the endless Gobi through the window, Australia and the rest of the earth are out of place, and even from the satellite photos of later generations, the colors are completely different.

It is almost like an alien land attached to the earth. Billions of years of wind and sun have made this land very different from other continents.

"The biggest advantage of this desolate land is that all the minerals are buried very shallow, and God is not thin on Australia." Alan Wilson understood why the Three-Body Problem arranged humans here.

"It's really strange, Australia seems to be the flattest continent." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, "Even the mountains are very short."

"Perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, the mountains in Australia were also very high. Maybe they were shortened by the wind and the sun." Alan Wilson answered his wife's question.

He remembers that the oldest rocks on the surface of the earth are in the Murchisang Mountains in Western Australia, which are about 40 billion years old.

Not far above Canberra, the khaki color on the ground turned green.Needless to say to anyone, this is another decent piece of land in Australia, the southeast corner of Australia where Canberra sits.

After getting off Comet [-], the group went directly to William Joseph Slim, the current Governor of Australia.

When it comes to issues related to Malaya, you can also chat with the Marshal. The incoming Lieutenant General David Scone used to be Marshal Slim's subordinate. For Marshal Slim, he is the one who came people.

At the same time, Marshal Slim also paid tribute to Her Royal Highness's visit. The matter of the uranium mine involves confidentiality. Although Marshal Slim is an important general in the British military, he should not be told about it.

It’s just that on some issues, the Governor-General needs to communicate with the Australian Prime Minister. Marshal Slim thinks this is no problem. Since he became the Governor-General of Australia, there has been no friction due to the relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia.

"Moreover, I also found that Australians attach great importance to safety issues." Marshal Slim told his findings.

"That's easy." Alan Wilson was full of confidence, and he was ready to start with the threat of the bamboo curtain, explaining it from a security perspective, and let Australia understand the importance of helping Britain stay in the British Malaya colony.

It depends on what Australia wants. Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that no matter what Australia wants, as long as it pays for it, there is nothing that the UK cannot sell, even nuclear bombs.

Don't forget that the UK is still using the Australian space center to test blue light missiles?Although short-range missiles have been successful, short-range missiles are not enough for the UK, which needs ICBMs.

Even the original historical blue light missiles are not enough, because the UK cannot put missile silos on its own soil.But in Australia, it is obvious that the historical range is not enough.

Because of the high requirements on the range, although the blue light missile project has received more attention, the progress has not improved at all, and it is still under research.

The current Prime Minister of Australia is still Robert Gordon Menzies, the Prime Minister who has always admired the Queen.

Alan Wilson feels that this may be a benefit that the Queen brings to Britain.Who doesn't like a queen like England.

Although the queen doesn't come often, doesn't the princess come here from time to time?Help maintain Australia's centripetal force towards Britain,

A day later, Alan Wilson took Princess Margaret, who looked similar to the Queen, and this business card arrived at the Prime Minister's Office.We are ready to have a good talk with Australia on military cooperation including but not limited to uranium mines.

A few years ago, Prime Minister Menzies did one thing, but it was unsuccessful, that is, to legislate to ban the activities of the Australian Communist Party.Through this incident, we can understand what kind of political appearance this prime minister has.

Alan Wilson talks up the threat of the Bamboo Curtain, while implying that close cooperation between Australia and Britain is vital to the free world.

"Many local people believe that the particularity of Australia prevents us from ignoring that Australia is in danger. Although Europe and many countries believe that the UK should choose between the Commonwealth and Europe. But so far, the UK has withstood this. This kind of pressure." Alan Wilson, with blood thicker than water on his face, narrowed the relationship between the two parties in front of Menzies.

He absolutely did not lie. It has been ten years since the end of the war. If it is said that other European countries could not see it at the beginning, but today, no one can see that the UK has become a big colander of the European Community.

How did the textiles from the Malayan colonies be sold to the European market?Isn't the European Community's goalkeeper, the United Kingdom, letting in?Although the UK raised the price again during this process and sold it after raising the price, it was still lower than the price of textiles in Europe.

Britain's move is much more despicable than the United States' move to support Japan's textile industry. The United States is opening its own market.Although the UK has also opened its own market, it is more open to the market of European Community countries, part-time referees and goalkeepers.

The first to criticize is France, but since the war, France has been fighting in various colonies, so it needs the support of the old imperialist unity from the United Kingdom, so it has been holding back.

There are only a few countries in Europe that can say no to the UK. Germany and Italy are defeated. If France doesn’t say anything, it means that there are no opponents.

France has more important things to do. Instead of fighting with the European Community and the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom will concentrate on the Commonwealth of Nations and the European Communist Party. The beneficiaries of course include Australia, which is also a member of the Commonwealth.

After the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, the economic and trade relationship between Australia and the United Kingdom should have been replaced by the United States.It has transformed into another form. British investment in Australia is on the rise. At the same time, part of the close economic and trade ties between Australia and the British mainland have begun to be replaced by the British Malaya colony.

On the surface, it seems that the dependence relationship between the UK and Australia is declining, but in fact it is just a different way, from a bilateral relationship to a tripartite relationship.

Since this relationship exists, Australia should of course meet some of the requirements of the United Kingdom, which is not at all underestimated.

Apparently, Prime Minister Menzies also thinks so, because of the influx of British immigrants into Perth, coupled with the fact that he himself is a loyal supporter of the Queen, coupled with the role of economic and trade relations, he agrees with Alan Wilson.

After a few years, Australia also realized the importance of British Malaya.Australia itself is not suitable for industrial development. Now Australia has relied on British Malaya for the supply of many daily necessities.

"London believes that in the field of security cooperation, Britain and Australia still have a lot of common language, and the two sides must strengthen cooperation to maintain the prosperity of the Malaya colonies." Alan Wilson said with a pro-Australian look, "Even if it is France If people are dissatisfied, they must persevere.”

Menzies was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "We believe in the importance of the UK in terms of security, and security has always been our core concern. I wonder if the Queen-class heavy aircraft carrier can be sold to us."

Alan Wilson was taken aback. The Queen-class heavy aircraft carrier was actually the current name of the Malta-class aircraft carrier.

Chapter 841 CVA-01 Carrier Plan

"If I have the power to make decisions, I will agree immediately." Alan Wilson glanced at Her Royal Highness who accompanied her, and agreed without the slightest hesitation, "But I don't have the right to make decisions, but it doesn't matter, I am willing to work hard for this A good result, immediately communicate with the country.”

agree!Why don't you agree, although the Queen-class heavy aircraft carrier is the most recent aircraft carrier in the UK.But I know my family's affairs, and there have been problems with the replacement of the Royal Navy.

Although the Labor Party government does not need to worry about the debt owed to the United States, it is still not interested in increasing military spending.The military expenditure for maintaining the scale, also because the status of the navy was replaced by the Royal Air Force, not much flowed into the navy.

Once the Queen class starts construction on the third ship, it can even directly design a larger heavy-duty aircraft carrier, which is good news for the British Royal Navy's shipbuilding accumulation.

It can be done like the Russians, using India's money to do Russia's affairs, and rebuilding an aircraft carrier will get the cost back, let alone Australia.

What is the military purchase of fat meat, India is just amused. It can really be called fat meat or Australia, whose blood is thicker than water.

"Have any difficulties?" Menzies asked Alan Wilson again with doubts when he saw that Alan Wilson hadn't spoken for a while.

"No, I will communicate with the country about this right away." Alan Wilson's eyes were burning, but he couldn't let that Indian...Australian run away, and the hope of upgrading the Royal Navy rested on the Australian.

Not to mention a queen-class aircraft carrier, if the distinguished guests need it, the UK can completely redesign a larger one, and use practical actions to prove that blood is thicker than water.

It was unexpectedly smooth, and Prime Minister Menzies didn't know why, but it was a little too easy.

He made such a request, of course, out of practical considerations. Australia has a vast land and sparse population, and we can't really wait for potential enemies to hit the door. It is a better choice to keep enemies outside the country.

Otherwise, how many soldiers are needed to defend such a long coastline in northern Australia?Australia doesn't have the manpower at all.

Alan Wilson understands this psychology very well, and he wouldn't have a second choice if he changed it.

At this time, the princess of the royal family needs to speak up and explain the facts of the relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia. Princess Margaret first made an opening statement based on my personal opinion, then angrily denounced Churchill’s selfish behavior during World War II, and then said in an unprovable tone that London Politicians do feel guilty about some actions during World War II.

"Your Highness, that was Churchill's personal mistake." Prime Minister Menzies said in a respectful tone. "It is true that this must have hurt Australia's feelings, but what can we say?"

Alan Wilson looked on coldly, and the joke about Churchill being the chief culprit for the decline of Britain, starting with the father of the Soviet Union, was spread by himself through his wife Pamela Mountbatten.

He is still restrained in the UK, but he is so polite in the Commonwealth of Nations.Especially for countries like Australia and New Zealand that have resentment against Churchill, it is right to let him take the blame.

The country with the worst reputation for Churchill today is not Britain, but Australia and New Zealand.

Leaving the Prime Minister's Office, let the distinguished sister-in-law walk in front. If Princess Margaret is not there, he is a colonial commissioner. Although he does the same thing as a prime minister of a country, it is not random to meet Prime Minister Menzies See you soon.

Her Royal Highness became Alan Wilson's stepping stone this time, but she didn't reject it in her heart.

"Australians want the newest aircraft carrier?" asked Princess Margaret. "Why?"

"The land is vast and the population is sparsely populated, and the measures of active containment are adopted. The bamboo curtain in the eyes of Americans is in East Asia, and the bamboo curtain in the eyes of Australians is Sukarno shouting Great Indonesianism right in front of us."

Limited by the evacuation and the presence of MI[-], Alan Wilson was unable to give the princess a victory kiss.

Although there are some regrets, Alan Wilson is still very happy. As long as this matter is done, he believes that the benefits to Britain will be huge, and there will be no extra problems.

This is simply a surprise. If Australia can be brought in, isn't there a reason for the start of construction of the heavy aircraft carrier?

At present, the Royal Navy's Aircraft Carriers are only four Centaur-class, three Glory-class, two Vengeance-class, two Eagle-class, two former Malta-class, and now the Queen-class aircraft carrier.

In addition to these thirteen aircraft carriers, there are also giant-class aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers of this level have been sold to France, the Netherlands, Brazil, Canada, and potential countries that are still looking for buyers, as well as Argentina and other countries. .

In fact, the United Kingdom also intends to sell one of them to Australia. However, Australia, which has been rich in the past two years because of the discovery of iron ore, may no longer look down on the giant class.

But this is still not impossible. You can buy one and get one free. For example, when the United Kingdom is willing to start a new heavy aircraft carrier, it will give away an aircraft carrier for Australia to use first, but the modification fee must be charged.

Isn't the Gorshkov aircraft carrier sold by Russia to India in the name of a gift, using modification fees to make money?
