British civil servant

"Although the place is a bit poor, for me, there are many good memories." Pamela Mountbatten smiled and fell into the memories, where she met her true soulmate.

Although my husband is not perfect, compared with his strengths, some minor flaws can be completely ignored.Today, Pamela Mountbatten also believes that Alan Wilson is her most suitable life partner in this world, not one of them.

While Pamela Mountbatten was reminiscing about the good memories of the past, Mountbatten was in the former residence of the Governor-General of British India, talking about a win-win situation with the current owner, starting from a personal relationship, and then showing that India is already a powerful country, and then turned to sales.

900 million pounds, plus the latest steam catapult, is not a problem for India now, at least General Mountbatten thinks so, and things are not all smooth sailing.

Nehru also hoped that Britain could exert influence to see if he could talk to Portugal about the Goa issue.

"Oh, I really can't do anything about it. The situation in Europe is still very complicated." General Mountbatten spread his hands, unable to help, "What position does Britain use to persuade Portugal? Britain itself still has many colonies under its management. With this premise, Letting Portugal give up Goa is unjustifiable. As for the Goa matter, Portugal and India can handle it by themselves, and no other country can interfere. I am really sorry.”

Although Mountbatten is not a civil servant, but he has deep communication skills, and it is impossible for Nehru to dig a hole. He would rather fail to do this business, and he cannot make any promises to Nehru on the Goa issue. There are still many places in Portugal that can help What about the UK?

Even so, depending on the consideration of the relationship between Britain and India, Nehru suppressed minor unhappiness.The fundamental reason is that Britain still looks very strong, at least currently stronger than India.

A week after Mountbatten arrived in New Delhi, Nehru approved the arms sale contract for the Giant.

The achievement of this arms sale has been foreshadowed long ago, and its roots can even be traced back to when British India was still there. At that time, Mountbatten, who was the governor of British India, once talked to Nehru about the importance of the navy and sea power. Expressing that the geographical environment of India and the United States is similar, Nehru learned that the uniqueness of the aircraft carrier as a "floating airport" and the concept of an aircraft carrier battle group, Mountbatten said at that time that it would make India a naval force that cannot be ignored in the Indian Ocean.

It can be said that nearly ten years ago, Mountbatten laid the groundwork, and today it is finally time to bear fruit.

This is why, before the cabinet had doubts about the number of new aircraft carriers to be built, Mountbatten promised the cabinet that he would sell the giant class to make up for the lack of funding.

It wasn't just after the new year that Mountbatten couldn't wait to visit and came to India to promote the Giant class, all for the sake of avoiding twists and turns in the new shipbuilding plan.

Mountbatten breathed a sigh of relief when the arms sales contract was signed. He felt that he was absolutely worthy of the position of First Sea Lord and had done his best for the development of the Royal Navy.

On the one hand, the British Empire can sell its surplus warships after the end of World War II to India, and on the other hand, it can make the future Indian Navy inseparable from the help of Britain in the maintenance and support of large ships. Good deal.

What Mountbatten sold was the giant-class aircraft carrier that stopped construction because of the end of the war. Over 70.00% of the construction has been completed. After India buys it, the UK will also install it, including angled decks, steam catapults and a more complete island. .

Although sparrows are small and well-equipped, the British market is far from over, and India is neither the first nor the last.

Chapter 873 Good news from the Soviet Union

900 million pounds is not cheap in terms of the cost of the Giant-class aircraft carrier, but the installation of steam catapults and angled decks, the application of these new technologies must also be considered.When the UK sells weapons, it may charge high prices, but it will not compromise on quality.

This alone is so much higher than the two superpowers who don't talk about martial arts. The Soviet Union's monkey version of weapons is world-famous, and American weapons are even more famous for their high prices and low configurations.If a country encounters a military power like Britain that is clearing its inventory, it should hurry up.

India may not be able to figure out the major political strategies, but it has always been keen on this kind of issue. It knows that there may be no such shop after passing this village. Because of Mountbatten's visit, New Delhi hit it off and reached an arms sales contract.

Mountbatten returned with a full load and sold the unfinished aircraft carrier hanging on the berth. Nehru was also very happy.India will become the only country in Asia that has an aircraft carrier. Not to mention Malaya, which is a British colony and is essentially a British military force. India is the first.

At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, two beautiful figures walked out of the guards. The radiant image certainly belonged to the wealthiest woman in Britain and Her Royal Highness the current princess.

Alan Wilson was waiting in front of the passage, and when he saw his wife and sister-in-law approaching, "Welcome my wife and Your Royal Highness to the faithful Kuala Lumpur."

"Speaking strange words." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes were shining brightly, and she said to her eccentric husband, "Have you seen those designers, is it useful?"

Pamela Mountbatten followed her father on a brief stay in India, but the designers and teachers assembled had already gone one step further.

"I have already met with them and talked about urban construction and education industry support. It can't be said that the host and guest had a good time, but it can also be said that they had a good conversation, and the treatment has been negotiated. I also introduced it to local elites, and public opinion feedback Pretty good."

Allen Wilson took the initiative to help his wife carry the suitcase and lead the two to find the waiting car.

"Speaking of urban construction, I also have an idea to build a building in Kuching and Kuala Lumpur at the same time, facing each other far away in East Malaysia and West Malaysia respectively. As a landmark building in the Malayan colony, what do you think?"

The car drove smoothly, and Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband in the front passenger seat.

"Of course I'm fine, as long as you think it's fine, my dear. As we all know, I can't even afford the glass of a building. What's my name?" Alan Wilson complained to himself, and his words were full of blood and tears of capitalism.

"Mountbatten Building." Pamela Mountbatten looked through the car window at some billboards beside the road.

On these giant billboards, there are images of urban glamorous beauties and slogans of cheering for urban construction. It’s nothing more than that, but these images of women are too famous, and they are all photos of well-known actresses.

"You use these photos indiscriminately, don't let people sue, Americans pay great attention to these things." Pamela Mountbatten retracted her gaze and reminded insinuatingly.

"It's not indiscriminate use. They came to Malaya for vacation. I met these people and paid them to invite them to shoot some advertisements. It is an advertisement for urban construction. Ms. Vivien Leigh lives in Xiangjiang, and she helped to make connections."

Alan Wilson turned around and said with a clear conscience, "Actually, in terms of image, we should look for people like Hepburn, Taylor, and Monroe, but they are just now popular, so it may cost a lot."

"That's right." Princess Margaret chimed in, and then said secretly, "I guess you're not interested in messing around with these old women."

"Margaret, what nonsense are you talking about?" Pamela Mountbatten scowled at the current princess with a cold face.Tell her not to talk nonsense and provoke her father's feelings on this occasion.

"It's okay, after all, Her Royal Highness has an extraordinary status." Alan Wilson didn't mind, and smoothed things out.

Back at the residence of the two, Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband busily busy, as if he was full of energy, Pamela Mountbatten felt warm in his heart, "Don't be so diligent, we are both old couples. "

"How old are you, what kind of old couple are you?" Alan Wilson prepared the food diligently and said without looking back, "I don't like to get old before others get old."

The food is very simple. European food is not complicated at all. It is not like Asia and Africa where flour and rice are equally important, but pasta is the main food. This just suits the taste of Allison Wilson. It is not impossible to eat rice, but you can only eat soft rice.

Pamela Mountbatten immediately showed signs of ear pregnancy, suppressed her elation and said, "I don't know about you yet. Is there something good going on recently that makes you so motivated."

"The Soviet Union held a conference, which brought important benefits." Alan Wilson put on the expression that my wife was smart, served the prepared pasta, looked at his wife who was eating slowly, and said, "This time, we can Don't worry about the Soviets subverting the free world."

"Oh? It's rare for you to look like this." Pamela Mountbatten enjoyed her husband's craftsmanship, and asked vaguely curiously, "What happened, have you got any news?"

"I am in the civil service system, so I can be regarded as a high-level person." Alan Wilson first boasted, and then said mysteriously, "This time, the [-]th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union left out extraordinary information. I have submitted a report to analyze this matter, and of course communicated with my friend McCarthy.”

There is nothing to hide from his wife. At the 15th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union just held, Khrushchev pointed out: "Because some European and Asian countries have declared on the world stage that they do not participate in blocs and alliances as a foreign policy principle, the forces of peace have greatly increased. enhanced".As a result, "a vast peaceful region has emerged on the international stage, including the peace-loving socialist and non-socialist countries of Europe. This region encompasses a very large area, with a population of nearly [-] billion inhabitants, the majority of the world's population."

Khrushchev also put forward the theory of détente, speaking softly of the confrontational situation due to the establishment of the Warsaw Pact last year.

Of course, this is not the point, at least for the free world, there are more important things, the meeting mainly criticized the personality cult of Stalin, completely negated the various theories of Stalin when he was in power, pointed out the mistakes of Stalinism,

This part is good for the free world. Since the post-war free world has been worried about being subverted by the Soviet Union.Although this hope is better than nothing, it does exist.

And Khrushchev's change this time makes this possibility even more negligible.

Of course, Alan Wilson knows that this meeting is not like what some people said, which severely damaged the pro-Soviet forces in Western Europe. In fact, the parties in Western European countries still have considerable strength for a long time, not because Stalin was defeated. Criticism leads to the rapid disappearance of influence.

The parties in Western Europe easily accepted Khrushchev's statement, saying that although there were mistakes in the practice process, the concept was not problematic and was still good.

The reason is very simple. Stalin's sign is down, but the Soviet Union is still there. The Soviet Union is the first country to implement a brand new system.As long as this country exists, there will be no shortage of people who sing its praises.

However, Alan Wilson is willing to make Whitehall think that this is a huge failure of the Soviet Union, just like some countries deliberately exaggerated the significance of the Bandung Conference.

At this moment, Alan Wilson's telegram has arrived in Whitehall. The main content is to exert influence on Indonesia through public opinion and curb the influence of the Indonesian Communist Party. Content.

"It is possible that in the next year or two, the pro-Soviet forces in Western Europe will enter into chaos for a period of time. Seizing this opportunity may fundamentally curb the possibility of the free world being subverted and manipulate public opinion to build a psychological defense line for citizens. .Let the Socialist International replace the idea of ​​the Soviet Union and form a defense."

Of course, the above content is only limited to Europe, like other places, even food is a problem, the parties of the Second International that give out benefits can have Mao's influence, and they need to be able to distribute benefits to ease conflicts.

Alan Wilson asked the United States to distribute benefits to the whole of Asia. Can the Americans afford it?Even Indonesia, a country, the Americans can't afford to launch. This report, which I have won again, is just a simple discussion of European security issues.

Likewise, McCarthy's telegram from an old friend was consistent in content but in a completely different tone.Similar to the telegram to Whitehall, it was because of Martin Luther King's protest that McCarthy was asked to consider whether to take the route of appeasement and use benefits to quell the anger of black people.

How is this possible? Although the Republican Party has been more progressive than the Democratic Party so far, it has always been passive in its treatment of black people. McCarthy was also deeply influenced by the four-color threat. He believed that black people are a weak link in the United States leading the world, and gave benefits to these people ?

The only effect of this report from an old friend is to make McKinsey believe that the American black movement may have something to do with the Soviet Union, and it strengthens McCarthy's determination to make trouble.

Friends in London and Washington were thinking hard. After Alan Wilson lit the fire, he stayed with his wife for a quiet time, and received the four major families including the Swire Group and the Jardine Group who came to Malaya. It took several months to find them. Manpower, this time the construction can be officially started, and the urban construction of Malaya has begun.

"Kuala Lumpur will be handed over to you." Pamela Mountbatten said to several group representatives who came to Kuala Lumpur, "I hope you can help my husband to build this place well."

"Actually, the urban construction of Xiangjiang is a matter of time. If it is done well, you will have the experience to do it when you return to Xiangjiang. I have already communicated with the Governor of Hong Kong." Alan Wilson also opened his mouth to welcome, "Then, let's Thank you for your hard work."

Chapter 874

"Mr. Wilson, Hong Kong is still very worrying in some places." York Swyer shook his head and smiled wryly. "The Governor of Hong Kong has also seen this, but I just hope that nothing will happen."

"Oh, the Governor of Hong Kong is a very wise man. I believe there will be no problems." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. He remembered some things. It was not that the British Hong Kong government encountered challenges during the Cold War.

If I remember correctly, there should be a double tenth riot this year, which has brought a lot of challenges to the British Hong Kong government.

From the date of Double Ten, we know that the people who mainly attacked the British Hong Kong government were supporters of the Cannon Party.

Because in the eyes of China today, Double Tenth is just an ordinary day, meaningless at all.Only supporters of the Cannon Party would think this date is significant.

However, this kind of confrontation wants to make the British Hong Kong government feel ashamed, which is a bit optimistic. It will only make Hong Kong, like Malaya now, add the Cannon Party to the blacklist of unstable factors.

The United Kingdom is no longer at its peak, but it is still safe to clean up the role of the Cannon Party.

The four major families of Xiangjiang obviously do not think that Xiangjiang is safe, but they all agree that Xiangjiang is in a good location.

York Swire and the others were very grateful. As for Alan Wilson's request to make less money with high quality, he naturally agreed to all of them.

After they left, Alan Wilson took his wife's hand and said, "Honey, your company is in charge of Singapore and Penang, and Malacca has capital from Newfoundland. I can't entrust all the projects to you. Yes, otherwise I am the chief executive, and it will not do me any good to entrust all the projects to my wife, and it will also affect your company's reputation."

"Honey, I understand." Pamela Mountbatten whispered obediently, "Don't the Chinese have a saying that they stand out from the crowd?"

"That's the reason. Singapore must have the largest project volume. Although it plans to develop four cities with a population of one million, the other three are incomparable with Singapore. Singapore's location is nowhere in the Malay Peninsula. Pull other companies Get involved too, and the Mountbatten Group is less visible."

The advantage of doing so is that it can leave the largest share to the Mountbatten Group, and it can be justified.

Similar operations can be extended to all walks of life. Alan Wilson remembers that after the Wolf Warrior series and The Wandering Earth, Wu Jing's box office was in the only position, ranking far behind all competitors.

In this case, the biggest cake in the future will be Wu Jing's, so several big companies came up with a new standard box office list, and changed the original lead actor to count the box office as the standard for participating in the show.

First of all, the box office of the platter movie was counted on Wu Jing, and then it was counted on all the other participating actors. This created a group of actors who had never starred in the box office and earned tens of billions of box office.

This time, Alan Wilson took the initiative to find the four major families of Xiangjiang, with the same purpose, but the operation was just the opposite. The operation of the film company was to use Wu Jing as a shield to praise his own people.Alan Wilson is covering up the Mountbatten Group, the reason is the same, just like practicing kung fu, it can be practiced directly or reversed.

Such a large project certainly cannot be carried on the shoulders of humans. Countless heavy machinery and trucks are loaded into the local port.In recent years, the large-scale construction of the British colonies has brought a wave of prosperity to the local industry.

Once upon a time, Britain was only passively building in the colonies, and rarely engaged in such things as civil engineering.

After changing the way of thinking, the real estate business started in the colonies brought greater benefits to the local people than the simple source of raw materials.

The cabinet also recognized this status quo. In the final analysis, most of the projects are just a bunch of buildings in the end, which will not pose a threat to the UK in the future. Real Estate Xingbang has been recognized by the current government.

Of course, the cabinet also supports the urban construction started in Malaya, which means that the demand in Malaya will increase again.

Australia is also supportive, and the construction of Britain's major colonies has also driven the demand for Australia's exports.

At the national level, Australia and the United Kingdom have the support, and the capital has the support of Mountbatten and the four major families. Administratively, Alan Wilson is the chief executive of the Malayan colony. All the conditions are ready.

The colonial property is doomed, and Alan Wilson can easily solve many problems.He can even do the same as the countries of the Soviet system without paying any land costs.

This is impossible in England, only in countries where the land is commonly owned.Now Alan Wilson can use Malaya's colonial properties to do it. As for the source of finance for selling the land, he can discuss it with his wife and people from several companies.

Residents of Penang, Malacca, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur have been notified that the city's urban construction will officially start.

Similar news has already been sent, but the official start of the document issued by the colonial officials is today. The boots landed. In this urban construction.

"It's better for new immigrants. Although the original Straits Chinese are of one mind with us, they are not so direct." Alan Wilson, wearing a hard hat, hid a hundred meters away and watched the scene of the recruitment site, and directed at the same Alisa who came out said, "The Soviet Union also has a lot to learn from. Using their methods, there are many links without paying any cost."

"Commissioner, stand still." Alyssa held the camera in her hand, reminding her immediate boss that the work of posing for photos will continue. This will be related to the headlines in the next few days and establish a friendly image.

"Sorry." Alan Wilson is as good as he is, with a stalwart image of a great Malayan economic designer.

After taking a few photos, Alisa returned the camera to her boss, and the two walked side by side. Alan Wilson revealed, "Alisa, our old boss Sir Barron has retired, and John is now serving as the Persian Gulf Commissioner. After Sudan becomes independent, it will rush to Aden to sit in town."

"Then congratulations to him, the Persian Gulf is very important to the country." Alisa replied with a smile.

The commissioner of the Persian Gulf has to take into account British influence in the Middle East and the security of the Suez Canal, including but not limited to, stable oil sources, military advisor arrangements for pro-British countries, etc. Take Jordan as an example, the commander of the Arab Legion is a British .

After John took office, he had to maintain Britain's influence in the Middle East and also deal with the Americans.

The original Baghdad Treaty in history has become what it is today, and it is not because of the British intentional mischief.Sir Barron has communicated with countries in the Middle East, but most Arab countries in the Middle East are really unwilling to get involved in the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. It would be good not to introduce the Soviet Union to fight against the United States behind Israel. Are you still counting on fighting the Soviet Union?

Britain was also worried that the Soviet Union would take the opportunity to replace Britain's influence, so it no longer insisted that Arab countries join the Baghdad Treaty.

Without Britain's efforts, the Baghdad Treaty has become an embarrassing organization for Turkey and Pakistan, two marginal countries.

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and it's time for us to benefit the society." Alan Wilson paused slightly when he said this, and asked, "Alisa, in fact, after I leave office, it's not that you have no chance to be the Commissioner of Malaya. It's just that You also know that there is a ceiling for women in the civil service system, if I force you to be a commissioner, it may cause dissatisfaction."

"I don't have this idea." Alyssa hesitated to speak, but still asked, "I'm afraid that after you leave, will someone trouble me? Can you think of a way on this."

"If you can't be a commissioner, I will arrange for you to retain the position of West Malaysia commissioner, and then take on the role of Richard, and also hold the administrative bureau in your hands." Alan Wilson thought for a while, "In this case, under normal circumstances , no matter who is the commissioner, they should not ignore you."

Alan Wilson is absolutely interesting when dealing with reliable subordinates. He has always been open to women.It can be called a model of women's rights, who made him such a kind person.

"You are an expert in oriental studies. The main ethnic group here can't hide anything from you. I'm afraid that after you leave, the commissioner behind you will not be able to deal with the problem." Alisa sighed faintly, "I don't know what will happen then."

"Before I leave office, I must lay a good foundation. There must be a conclusion on the Indonesian affairs, and the nuclear bomb must be moved here. As for the internal aspects of the colony!" Alan Wilson emphasized to Alisa, "The two ethnic groups In terms of balance, you can lean towards the Malays in everything, and you can flatter them if you have nothing to do, but you must remember to maintain the relative numerical advantage of the Chinese, and it will be no problem if you do this.”

Alan Wilson didn't want to spend so much energy on himself, and finally became independent.It's a pity that his high commissioner has a term of office, so he must find a reliable person who can help him look after him for a long time, and sit in Malaya.

Although the Colonial Commissioner has a term of office, it does not mean that the officials below also have a term, so officials like Alyssa also meet the standard of power that lasts forever.

With her here, Alan Wilson can leave office with peace of mind, and Alyssa also understands what her immediate boss means, "I will help you run Malaya well."

"I think as long as we can ensure that Malaya will not secede from the UK in 20 years, then we don't have to worry about it." Alan Wilson stood up at this point, "Dear Commissioner of West Malaysia, I think we should go back, and it will take time to develop photos .”

With the start of urban construction in the four major cities of the Malay Peninsula, the entire British Malayan colony has entered a busy period, and there is a huge demand for raw materials.Automobiles and machinery from the UK, and ores from Australia, are continuously entering.

The planning of major vocational schools has also been carried out simultaneously to build the higher education system in Malaya.
