Chapter 1045 It Is Obligatory to Support the Royal Family
According to the preliminary investigation report, the location of the first crime has been found, and it is indeed not a hidden place.
Agents from MI6 thought that the assassination might have been carried out by Somaliland troops or retired soldiers. Of course, there were also opinions that it was locals who were responsible for the assassination, and that blaming the British was to prevent retaliation.
The truth doesn't really matter, especially to Alan Wilson, but consider the ripple effects of reporting it.
Shifting the responsibility to Somaliland may affect the relationship between Somaliland and the United Kingdom after independence, and targeting the suspects to retired soldiers may affect the relationship between the military and the government.
There is no third possibility. Could it be that a civil servant who has dedicated his life to the country is a murderer? How is this possible?
"Let's check the garrison first. We don't want that to be the reality, but out of caution?" Alan Wilson thought for a long time and lowered his voice, "Don't report to London first. We have to think of a justifiable reason."
Alan Wilson has decided that wiping the butt of the real murderer, the military, cannot damage the close relationship between the military and the government. Regarding the death of the cabinet minister, he prefers to handle it internally.
Of course, I had to have some peace with my father-in-law to show that I was covering up a crime that might have been committed by a small group of people in the military. When something went wrong, my first reaction was to cover the lid. It was normal.
A worried Alan Wilson returned to his apartment to explain MI6's suspicions.
"Maybe the local colonial army took action?" Pamela Mountbatten was shocked. "Is the news true?"
"It's just a possibility, and I tend to believe it's not true. Duncan was the Minister of Defense before. The assassination must be related to the local garrison, which may make the marshal suspicious."
Although he knew in his heart that something could not happen to Marshal Mountbatten, Alan Wilson still looked like a good British son-in-law and said, "If this is the case, even if I am suspected, I can only go on a killing spree in Somaliland and find a group of people." Give the scapegoat an explanation for this matter.”
Pamela Mountbatten frowned. On one side was her father and on the other was her husband. These were the two most important men to her. She was very embarrassed now. "If it is really the truth that no one wants to see, will you cover it up?" risky."
"As long as I kill people ruthlessly, no one will doubt me. Revenge for the minister is a matter of course!" Alan Wilson looked indifferent. At that point, there was no other way. I would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go. This move.
Now Alan Wilson, it can't be like the assassination of Kennedy,
When all Americans are suspicious, people dare to say that this is the truth, and the investigation report is not released directly.
He didn't have the authority, so he could only transfer the conflict to others to handle it on his behalf.
Of course, it was too early to think so now, so he comforted him, "Maybe the matter will not be taken seriously. After all, he is just a minister. It is very normal for colonists to be assassinated, but it was Duncan's turn."
"You still have time to joke." Pamela Mountbatten lightly hammered her husband's chest. "Thankfully it was him who died. What would I do if something happened to you? The children are still young."
"Look at my wife." He reached out and pinched his wife's chin and lifted it up. Alan Wilson said with a moved face, "Because I am too dirty, God probably won't accept me because he hates me, so this matter is unlikely. occur."
Alan Wilson made a solemn promise to his wife that it was unlikely that the garrison would take action. Although MI6 had extracted the hair of white people, it could not be used as evidence. It might be wool. There are still a lot of goats here in Somaliland. .
Pamela Mountbatten burst into laughter and muttered, "You don't have to talk about yourself like that, I know how good you are."
"Okay, let's talk about something lighter." Alan Wilson sat down and put his wife on his lap. "When will the Land Rover production line be completed?"
"It should be about the end of the year to the beginning of next year." Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband was changing the subject of the assassination, and she was happy to do so. It would be nice to talk about something lighter.
"Malaya has only one long-term rival, Japan, which is supported by the United States." Alan Wilson always said, "Except for population size, Malaya has advantages in other aspects. We must make some achievements before Japanese cars go overseas. Even if there is a price war and the automobile industry does not make money, I believe you can survive it far better than the Japanese."
The mainstream models in the world in later generations are German cars and Japanese cars. Hibuki likes to use the total sales volume to prove that Japanese cars are more popular than German cars. However, when taking evidence, he likes to use the Toyota Group to beat the Volkswagen Group to prove his point.
German cars include more than just the Volkswagen Group, and Japanese cars include more than just the Toyota Group. Lexus only sells better than Audi in some countries, and its average price in the world is cheaper than Audi. This does not include the Porsche models of the Volkswagen Group.
As for the comparison between German cars and Japanese cars, German cars include Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and Japanese cars include Nissan and Honda. I believe no one will think that the latter is greater than the former.
To put it simply, Toyota is a strong Japanese car, Volkswagen Group, a German car, is in the market, and BMW and Mercedes-Benz are all mid-to-high-end. The three German giants are all very strong, and they are overwhelming Japanese cars in the high-end market.
As for the current Japanese automobile industry, it has fully recovered from the trauma of World War II. While satisfying the domestic market, it is considering expanding overseas. In the early months of the Korean War, the U.S. military ordered more than five thousand vehicles, and Toyota revived the company.
That year, an independent sales company, Toyota Motor Sales Company, was established. Three years ago, Toyota Crown became the first Japanese car exported to the United States, and Toyota Motor Sales Company was also established in the United States at the same time.
At present, Toyota Motor has not yet shown the terrifying production volume of future generations. Last year's annual production was 200,000 vehicles. Going overseas is also in the early stages of exploration, and Lexus will have to wait another thirty years to appear.
The current way to curb Toyota is to sell a new model at a price that is no higher than Toyota's. Although Toyota Group is the largest automobile manufacturer in later generations, it has always adopted a conservative strategy throughout its long history, focusing on durable, high-quality and low-price products.
Only when competitors catch up with new technologies will Toyota and Japanese cars follow suit. Therefore, in the early days of Japanese cars entering the market, using a novel but inexpensive model to compete with Toyota would make it very difficult for Toyota.
The third world, especially Southeast Asian countries, generally have little research on performance. This is not a slander. The great appearance is the black technology of this era. Alan Wilson’s three-axe of copying the shell is just useful.
"Just listen to me, Land Rover Discovery will definitely take the world by storm." Alan Wilson is full of confidence.
While the UK is grieving over the death of Commonwealth Secretary of State Duncan, new changes have also taken place in the independent Congo.
Within a few days, Lumumba expressed his strong criticism of colonialism and publicly called on the Belgian colonial army and Belgian expatriates to leave Congo within a time limit.
Lumumba's hostility to the colonists was undisguised, and he was not enthusiastic about the United States, which seemed to have nothing to do with the colonists. At Lumumba's call, Congolese soldiers staged a mutiny, or what the Belgian government calls a riot.
Immediately afterwards, the pro-Belgian leader of Katanga Province, Moise Cabunda Tshombe, declared the independence of Katanga Province. A week after Congo's independence, the country had split into three parts. Parts of the Congolese central government, pro-Lumumba parts and independent forces in Katanga province.
The situation in Congo is changing, and Grace, who has returned to Northern Rhodesia, is very anxious. He has fulfilled his promise. No idea when Alan Wilson will be back.
Alan Wilson was certainly not idle and completed a one hundred and five page investigation report during this period.
It simulated the entire assassination process that day and gave the most professional analysis. Apart from not catching the murderer, it was perfect and no one could fault it.
Matters in London were naturally handled by Mountbatten, the full-time commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces, and Norman Brooke, the cabinet secretary.
Princess Margaret stood by the window, her eyes slightly squinted, her rosy face full of warmth, her whole body held by the man behind her. Apparently, the two of them had been looking up into the distance for a long time.
Finally, the two of them stood still, and Her Royal Highness looked back and passionately kissed the man, ending this wonderful journey.
After squatting down and covering her body again, Princess Margaret looked radiant and her mood improved.
"Aren't you going to change it?" Alan Wilson, who tightened his belt, reminded him gently.
"It doesn't matter." Princess Margaret didn't care at all. "It's easier for others to think too much if you change your clothes."
"That's true, but is it okay?" Alan Wilson nodded. He actually had reservations, but the princess didn't mind. He couldn't say anything, mainly because he was afraid of being caught.
Princess Margaret held her waist with both hands and looked up at her brother-in-law, "I don't want you to protect me, and now it's all over like this. My dear brother-in-law, where is your courage?"
"I do have courage, but I don't usually show it." Alan Wilson said to himself, "Your brother-in-law, I just killed a minister. His courage is definitely among the best in the British Empire. Our previous actions have fully confirmed his courage." .
However, facing the charming Princess, he would definitely not feel uncomfortable at this time, which would be disrespectful.
Due to the deterioration of the situation in Congo, instability has emerged in the center of Africa. After discussions with London, Alan Wilson is about to leave Somaliland, an unforgettable place, and return to caring about the stability of African mines.
"It is because of your support for the royal family that I give you this kind of treatment." Princess Margaret sat down with her legs tightly together, but her face was a little unnatural because of her movements. "The Queen supports the Overseas Assets Management Committee. I am very pleased with the development of the royal family’s industry.”
"Dear Queen, you must not know that Her Royal Highness the Princess has sacrificed too much." Alan Wilson whistled frivolously.
