British civil servant

The chancellor of the exchequer, who is most likely to oppose it, feels that this is indeed the case at this time, and his position is also quietly changing.

In the next cabinet discussion, the discussion on whether to sell to the French aircraft carrier has changed to what price is right, so that France can feel the warmth from the United Kingdom.

Although the tonnage of the Resentment class is sufficient, the fact that the modification potential is not large and the cost is not small still makes the cabinet restrain the idea of ​​attacking the traditional friendship of France for 700 years.

All discussions were centered on the professional evaluation provided by the Ministry of Finance. Based on the cost plus discounts, the two Vengeance-class aircraft carriers cost 2000 million pounds, which is not a loss. It became one to two point eight.The loss on the exchange rate cannot always be borne by the French.

This offer was directly notified to the French. After Prime Minister Attlee met with Georges Pidour, he also put forward the additional conditions that had been discussed before. The United Kingdom will help at both ends of the Mediterranean, but the United Kingdom cannot solve all the problems. For contraband from other places, such as Yugoslavia, the French have to deal with it themselves.

"Sometimes, like the Americans, we have to criticize France." Attlee also mentioned his difficulties with George Pidour in private.

But at the same time, George Pidur was assured that Britain's heart to help France since the end of World War II has not changed until now.Only the unity of Britain and France can protect the interests of the two countries.

"What is the traditional friendship between Britain and France?" Alan Wilson lay directly in Ingrid Bergman's arms, experiencing the luxury hardware of Swedish cars on the back of his head, and never tired of it.

Chapter 868 The Lord of ZTE in Egypt

Two more big burdens have been thrown out, so that the aircraft carrier on the future combat order after ten years will have two to three new aircraft carriers, two Queen-class, two Eagle-class and four Centaur-class, and the aircraft carrier that has not been sold off. aircraft carrier.

Even if the construction of the navy is stopped, it can serve until the 80s, and there is no need to worry about the collapse of the Royal Navy in a short time.

Of course, this premise is based on the smooth start of construction of the new aircraft carrier, but it should not be a big problem. They have received money from Australia. Do you still expect the UK to spit out the money?As for the underwater power, the aircraft carrier may be sold, and the nuclear submarine will never be sold. The crisis of the collapse of the Royal Navy is basically resolved, if not completely resolved.

"I see you make you happy." Ingrid Bergman blamed her face. She was a little hurt from being bumped by a man just now, but she still didn't show it. She seemed happy for Alan Wilson.

"I'm going to get a bottle of wine to celebrate." Alan Wilson jumped off the bed directly, walking and walking with a smile on his face.

Ingrid Bergman was covering her chest with her hands at this time, and Heidi Lamarr squinted, "What? Are you too scared to speak out now? This is not the appearance of the first lady."

"He didn't do it on purpose." Ingrid Bergman breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a considerate way, "What a lively man, he treats us very well, what else do I have to complain about?"

Heidi Rama seemed to have seen the New World, and said in disbelief, "In the past two years, I have discovered that your attachment to him is getting bigger and bigger. You were not like this before."

Ingrid Bergman looked at the door of the bedroom, and could only hear the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and said in a low voice, "Heidi, I am already 40 years old, and you are one year older than me. Our appearance is still very good. If you think about it, there are still many people flocking to us, just like before. But if we say that our body is still the same as before, and we don’t feel tired, I believe you will think it’s a lie.”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Heidi Lamarr squinted blankly, not knowing what Ingrid Bergman meant.

"I mean, every year that passes, I feel very lucky to meet him." Ingrid Bergman said solemnly, "This kind of life is not bad. I have two daughters and you have a son. If you don't If you are satisfied, take a look at Baolian, she is like us, does she have few suitors? But in the past few years, she has not even been able to find a good job, and the major companies have long thought that she is out of date. The most important thing is that she has no My child, there is always a sense of loneliness, and it's not like you didn't hear similar complaints when she came to Paris."

"She has indeed said several times that she likes children very much." Heidi Lamarr opened her mouth, finally gave up the rebuttal, and then stopped talking.

If it is said that many older women cannot touch them without husbands and children, then Pauline Gao Dai is an actress of the same level as them.

Such a state could no longer be ignored by Ingrid Bergman. This time she came to the Malaya colony on her own initiative, just to see this man.

"He really has nothing to say about women. If there are any shortcomings, he treats beautiful women like the sun." Heidi Lama was a little annoyed, "If I was only 20 years old, I would definitely discipline him well."

Ingrid Bergman aside, she just listened to these words casually. No woman is 20 years old forever, but there are women who are 20 years old forever. In her opinion, Heidi Lamarr is just a blunt mouth.

"At this moment, you must find a bottle of French red wine." Before anyone arrived, Alan Wilson's voice had arrived first, holding red wine and a goblet, and broke into the door with a gentle smile, "Now I'm going to celebrate with two ladies of the same status as my wife."

"We should really celebrate." Ingrid Bergman got off the bed and took the cup from Alan Wilson with a smile.

"It's really flattering. I've noticed recently that my charm is getting bigger and bigger." Alan Wilson handed over the glass rather narcissistically, and opened the red wine with a corkscrew himself.

A man and two women, just sitting on the bed and pushing glasses to celebrate something that seems to have nothing to do with them.

"In fact, France still has a lot to praise. At least one goal they are willing to work hard for. The bad thing is that the French have too many goals, so they always have coups." Talking nonsense, "And also thinks very highly of himself, a little arrogant."

"Agreed!" Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman looked at each other and expressed their agreement tacitly.

It will soon be [-], and Alan Wilson always has some doubts about the year when the Suez Canal War broke out. Reason tells him that Nasser doesn't know where he is, and the whole of Egypt is paying attention to the Aswan Dam. There will be no problems with the golden waterway that is crucial to Britain.

But Alan Wilson is always uncertain, unable to extricate himself from the mentality of worrying about gains and losses. If it weren't for the great encouragement from the ladies of the same status as his wife, he might be even more anxious.

"It's obvious that they are old and want to find a stable support." Hearing that Alan Wilson said that the actresses were considerate, Anna curled her lips, "I just don't want to lie to you, otherwise with my many years of studying psychology, It's not easy to fool you around."

"Oh, is that so?" Reaching out and rubbing the plumpness of the little dragoon, Alan Wilson shamelessly teased, "But having said that, if the basic education in the Soviet Union is so strong, it is really a troublesome thing for us. Trouble is also trouble for you."

Anna asked in confusion, "Where does this start? Is it a mistake to educate an ignorant person well?"

"If a person knows everything but can't change the status quo, it's easy to be dissatisfied with the society." Alan Wilson whispered with a smile, "They have the power of ignorance. If they don't know anything, they won't be dissatisfied with society. Everyday Eat and sleep and eat, isn't it good?"

Alan Wilson still dotes on Little Dragoons. There is no particular reason. He is young and has children. Most importantly, he thinks that Anna is not lying when she claims to have studied psychology.

Anyway, he couldn't hide his thoughts from the other party. After getting back together, Anna never mentioned any political matters, so as to avoid recalling the unpleasant memories of the two of them.

The only difficulty now is that Alan Wilson doesn't know how to arrange around Christmas, arranges work as before, and then subconsciously avoids company?

"That's not good, you guys? Ladies with the same status as their wives, except for Hepburn, are easy to deal with." Ana analyzed from a man's point of view, "They are all about forty years old. At 30 years old, I feel It’s okay not to be old, but it’s impossible to still have that mentality now. Anyway, they are both a profession, and I think they all know each other’s existence, so it’s better to live together. I’ll forget it, but leave it to me for two days.”

"I'd better arrange work and stagger the time, and accompany each other separately." Alan Wilson said that it was a lie not to be tempted, but he was still persuaded when he missed the door. Before, he kept saying that it is common for a big man to have three wives and four concubines, and he would be careful at critical moments better.

At the end of [-], Allen Wilson convened a meeting of overseas commissioners again, and the commissioners from the major colonies and protectorates came to Kuala Lumpur again, as before, except for the old bosses in the Persian Gulf.

Before these colleagues came, Alan Wilson first started the year-end summary of the Malayan colony, and by the way, appointed a new commissioner of Christmas Island, a position that everyone respected.

The main reason is the location of Christmas Island, which is too lonely. This small island under the jurisdiction of the original Straits Settlement is located in the southern waters of Java Island, closer to Australia.

In fact, before and after the independence of the original historical Malayan colony, Australia asked the United Kingdom for the sovereignty of the island out of precaution against Indonesia, and the United Kingdom gave Christmas Island to Australia.

Among those who came from Egypt was Farouk I's special envoy Yisaed, because Malaya provided the construction materials for Egypt's construction of the Aswan Dam.This time, Yi Saide came to see the situation here.

Of course, Alan Wilson attaches great importance to it. The two places where Britain has supported the empire for a long time are not white dominions like Canada, but British India and Egypt, which are racially and culturally incompatible.

The former can be replaced, and now the Malaya colony can replace it well, but how can Egypt replace it?Can't go around.

Because of Yiside's coming, Alan Wilson took precious time, and did not accompany a lady of the same status as his wife for parallel jogging, and came to visit with a bearded man.

"Commissioner Wilson, the appearance of Malaya has exceeded our expectations." Yi Said was very surprised. Egypt itself is the center of the Arab world, and other Arab countries are not as good as Egypt, but now the intuitive feeling is worse than Malaya.

If it's the same, wouldn't I have done all these years for nothing?This is still the beginning of urban construction.

Thinking so in his heart, Alan Wilson still said modestly, "You are welcome, Mr. Yiside, I believe that after the construction of the Aswan Dam, Egypt will skyrocket. Of course, a stable social environment is the foundation of everything. "

In fact, the pursuit of the two places is almost the same, infrastructure, education support and self-government power.This is what Egypt wants, what Malaya wants now, and what British India wanted in the past.

Alan Wilson cannot give autonomy, but he has ways to support infrastructure and education.

However, Farouk I was able to send a special envoy, which was beyond his expectation. Did he lie for so long that he believed the lie?Do you really think he is Ali Pasha alive, the master of ZTE in Egypt?

Chapter 869 City Construction Experience Sharing

Thinking so, he still has to give Yi Said full courtesy, take the initiative to ask about the construction period of the Aswan Dam, and ask if there is anything that can help. In fact, having said that, Farouk I has today's image, and British public opinion With power comes a certain responsibility.

Without the consistent binding of the Aswan Dam and Farouk I by the British, how could the thief king have such a great reputation today?

"The whole of Egypt has great expectations for the Aswan Dam, and this is also due to Mrs. Wilson." Seeing Alan Wilson's initiative to ask, Yiside expressed some of his gratitude directly, "On the completion of the dam , the whole country expressed its determination to unite."

"Oh, after the dam is completed, Egypt will be able to start a lot of industrial construction with the power supply brought by the dam." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. All rivers in the country are large, and water resources are not a problem, provided that no accidents occur upstream.

Water is very important to many other countries, but to a country like Egypt, it is not important, but life.

In the 21st century, Egypt had to do something to Sudan and Ethiopia several times because of the water resources of the Nile River.

In fact, on the African issue, it is not that there is no room for cooperation between Britain and Egypt. Didn't they have a good cooperation in the joint management of Sudan before?It is nothing more than a question of who is in charge.

Even now, the two countries are still adopting the same attitude on the issue of the Sannibar Sultanate.Even Allen Wilson wanted to sell the giant class to Egypt, anyway, it will be eliminated in a blink of an eye.

As the king's special envoy, Yi Said attended the Colonial Commissioner's Meeting in Kuala Lumpur, and many people in Egypt knew about it.

According to the analysis of the Egyptian Folk Banner Party, it was King Farouk I who knew that Egypt itself had few resources, but the Commonwealth and the colonies were rich in resources, and fought secretly with the British for the benefit of the construction of Egypt.

The importance of the Banner Party lies in this, for the sake of a better long-term future, the thought of temporarily saving food and clothing and being patient.With this thought, the Egyptians can grit their teeth. Without this thought, whether it is a violent overthrow of the king's government, or lying down to die, it is not a good thing for the royal family.

Listening to Alan Wilson expressing goodwill to Egypt and taking the initiative to describe a bright future for him, Eside was also in a good mood.

Of course he didn't know that Alan Wilson was so sincere, based on the fact that Egypt was not a threat in his heart. In a land of 100 million square kilometers, only [-] square kilometers can be inhabited. Where can we go?

What needs to be vigilant is not to inspire the psychology of the Egyptians who are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. When the initial construction results are obtained, things will be much easier at that time.

After inquiring about the construction period in detail, Alan Wilson already had a judgment in his mind. The Aswan Dam would not be completed without a ten-year construction period. As long as something happened, it would be normal to complete it in [-] or [-] years.

At that time, Egypt and the United Kingdom will talk about the Suez Canal again, and I believe there is no need to rush to negotiate.

When the Colonial Commissioner held an overall meeting on British overseas assets in Kuala Lumpur, the Nemesis-class aircraft carrier negotiations in London had come to an end, and France was absolutely serious about Algeria.

A special appropriation of 2000 million pounds and 600 million U.S. dollars has already arrived, which surprised the Labor Party cabinet.At this moment, the Vengeance-class aircraft carrier has been filled with raw materials and set off from the British port, sailing to France, the next stop of its service career, and will arrive at the port of Toulon in a few days.

At the same time, the refitting work after the Vengeance-class aircraft carrier has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, and will be done by the French themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Mountbatten, the First Sea Lord, submitted the construction plan for four new aircraft carriers to the cabinet for approval.Of course, there is also the feasibility assessment of selling giant-class and brilliant-class ships.

Putting these two reports together, the meaning is self-evident, selling old ships to build new ships to complete the replacement of the Royal Navy.If Alan Wilson could see the explanation of the new aircraft carrier, he would definitely have a sense of sight that this is the Enterprise without nuclear power. But he is not here, and he is still working with the commissioners of other colonies to calculate the profitability of this year.

For the United Kingdom, when its strength is no longer alone in the world, the development of armaments has become radical, and immature but sufficiently advanced technologies have been used in various weapons.Compared with the plans of other military services, the navy relies on the accumulated technology in the past, and the shipbuilding industry is still relatively large at this time, so it is the most likely military service to achieve results.

Almost immediately, Alan Wilson sent a meeting of the Colonial Commissioners from Kuala Lumpur, and the estimated scale of overseas assets and circulating funds are correct. Scale and circulating funds are two different things.

This telegram was received by the cabinet, which was considering the construction of the new aircraft carrier of the Ministry of the Navy, and the construction plan submitted by Mountbatten was approved the next day, and four ships were built at the same time.The previous hesitation was the difference between three or four ships.

If three ships are built, the cabinet does not need to allocate additional funds. Australia's arms sales plus the cash for the two Vengeance-class aircraft carriers are more than enough.If four ships are to be built, funding from the Cabinet may be required.

The Labor Party cabinet also thinks that prostitution is happiness, and it is a headache to get the money for themselves, so the main controversy is to build a few ships.

Before the telegram from Kuala Lumpur arrived, Mountbatten was also doing his best to wash the plan he had submitted so that it would not be cut off. He even hinted that if the country needed it, he would do his best to go to New Delhi and Nigeria to sell the Giant-class aircraft carrier. Helu talked about that the funds from the arms sales can be used for the replacement of aircraft carriers.

However, after the telegram arrived, the cabinet approved the construction plan submitted by Mountbatten. When the news came, the entire Naval Headquarters was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

The queen class and the centaur class, in the final analysis, are the completion of the construction of the World War II aircraft carrier.Construction started before the end of the World War, and the war has been over for ten years. Strictly speaking, the shipbuilding plan submitted by the Royal Navy only passed the Bravery-class destroyer. The only new ship in service.

The construction of the four new aircraft carriers is the second batch of shipbuilding after the war. The war has been over for ten years. How can such good news not make the Ministry of the Navy happy?

As a son-in-law, Alan Wilson also felt joy from his father-in-law's telegram, put the telegram away, looked at Vivien Leigh who was doing yoga, and said, "Honey, it's all right, do you really want to humiliate my figure? "

"Immediately!" Vivien Leigh didn't look back, finished the stretching exercises, and stood up covered in sweat.

Alan Wilson continued to look down at the other files, though he didn't object to how explosive a woman's muscles were.But now the British treasure is a bit too much. Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman have been exercising for a long time, but they have not developed eight-pack abs to embarrass him.

The most important thing is that the foundations of the three actresses are different. Vivien Leigh has a petite body, so it is not worthwhile to lose her chest training.

Vivien Leigh, who was still sweating on her face, came over and kissed the busy imperial commissioner, glanced at the recent meeting minutes, and exclaimed with a smile, "You chief executives of the colony actually control so much wealth."

The asset scale is 42 billion pounds, and the liquidity is close to one billion pounds. This is an astronomical figure that Vivien Leigh can't imagine.

"How much? It's less than a year's military expenditure. This is exactly the meaning of nationalized enterprises." Alan Wilson sighed, "The increase in scale comes from the urban construction of the colonies, but this is unsustainable."

Don't you see Brother Belt, it only took three or four years to say that his company has a capital reserve of 3000 billion yuan, to the company's constant thunderstorms and negative news.

Overseas colonial real estate Xingbang is essentially leaving a pile of reinforced concrete to the colony after independence, and then draining all kinds of wealth, so that the colony can be independent.

However, in the eyes of many people in the colonies, Britain finally has a conscience to do something good.For a long time, British colonies have pursued infrastructure construction, educational industry support and autonomy.

Now the Overseas Assets Management Committee is trading infrastructure construction for the stability of the colony. When it is really a mess, the colony can become independent.The best place in Africa for real estate prosperity is Nigeria. Because of Nigeria, because of Nigeria’s large population, a population of 50 to 4000 million in the [-]s, especially in Africa, was a very big deal.

In Northern Rhodesia, which is not much smaller than Nigeria, there are now more than 50 Slavs. This is the result of Mikhailovich's continuous agitation from Italy to Yugoslavia.

Now Tito keeps saying that it is the biggest challenge for the people of Yugoslavia to be wary of Mikhailovich playing the immigration card.

Alan Wilson shared his work experience in British India with his colleagues free of charge. If his colleagues were not motivated and did not need incentives, he would have wanted to share the method of sharing the common area.

"By the way, dear, didn't you also get a few pieces of land in Xiangjiang?" Alan Wilson put the warm body of the national treasure into his arms, and kept walking on the eight-pack abs with one hand, jokingly , "Do you want me to die on the bed?"

"You are obviously very satisfied, but now you say this again." Vivien Li turned her head and glanced at the man in front of her, "I said before that my buttocks are a lot higher."

"I seem to have said..." After thinking for a moment, Alan Wilson fell into deep memories.

"Deputy Secretary-General?" In the conference room of the Civil Administration Office, Ingram called out, "Did you hear that? Don't you want to listen carefully to Nigeria's experience in urban construction?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Alan Wilson didn't blush as usual, and continued to join in the discussion of urban construction, "This time Malaya urban construction needs a lot of help from you, send some experts, in the final analysis, Malayan Subcolonies are different, the profits may not be high, but the meaning is."

Chapter 8 Seventy, [-]

"No problem." Many senior commissioners said one after another, "Deputy Secretary-General, in fact, your movements are already slow."

"It can't be helped. Malaya has been built by Japanese prisoners of war before. This time it is considered a renovation. But, if it is considered the major construction of British India, I started earlier than you."

Alan Wilson boasted with a smile all over his face, "So, isn't this sharing the joy of labor with colleagues?"

Labor can also be very happy. Real estate is not a job with much technical content, but it is enough to meet the needs of the colony, and it will also drive the sales of steel, cement, ships and cars.The former is necessary, and the latter cannot be transported on the shoulders of people.

And the advantage of building a colony is that you can do it boldly. If there is a thunderstorm in the end, the colony will be independent at worst.

These landmines will not affect the mainland, but the nationalized enterprises where the colonies are located will suffer losses. The risk is not completely controllable, but it can also be said to be basically non-existent.

It boosted the sales of British shipbuilding and automobile industries, and also increased the production capacity of the Malayan colonies.

And one eye is looking at the Soviet Union, and the other is looking at Washington, Britain and France. Of course, he also knows the great construction of Britain in the major colonies, but there is a precedent of British India there. Washington's judgment is that Britain is about to leave. Scratch the ground.

Who made the previous large-scale construction in British India too impressive? Until now, completing the follow-up projects of the Kolkata Industrial Zone is the main content of Nehru's request for assistance.

The frequency is so high that even the Americans have noticed. Now that we have reviewed the original British construction plan in British India, we have gained insight into the consequences of the failure of the British large-scale construction.
