Chapter 1154 Military Exercise and Invitation Letter

"Do you still doubt the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint?" Markins couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

"I don't doubt the craftsmanship. I just like the smell." Alan Wilson put the gold medal in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile, "It's the smell of money, it's so fascinating."

"Land Rover has just gone public. That's 500 million pounds!" Markins shook his head. "Now you actually say that you like this smell? I really don't know what to say about you."

"Does that have anything to do with me... Pamela and I have separate finances!" Alan Wilson paused slightly and explained, "This can clear some of my personal responsibilities, and I have taken a fancy to the Mountbatten family wealth. suspicion."

Generally speaking, the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint is naturally impeccable, and the quality of this batch of medals is very high.

In fact, it’s not just the quality, the value is also very high. Athletes taking part in the Commonwealth Games this time around have definitely earned their stripes.

Except that the gold medal is not made of pure gold, but silver plated with gold, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the silver and bronze medals.

The gold medals in today's sports games are twenty times heavier than those in the Stockholm Olympics fifty years ago. If they were still made of pure gold, it would be a big loss to hold one Olympics.

The medals at this Commonwealth Games were sponsored by Pamela Mountbatten in silver. Although it is not gold, it is still full of sincerity.

Magins could also see that Alan Wilson valued the Commonwealth Games, "You seem to have completely different views on Malaya and India, and you have obviously served in both places."

"A big and impressive country, I don't need to care about it." Alan Wilson flicked the gold medal with his finger and put it back intact. "This Games is best to increase the cohesion of the Commonwealth countries. I have already invited the independent Those who are not yet independent will participate together with the Protectorate. The events are the same as those of the Olympic Games, maybe a little more."

"Including socialist movement projects?" Maxkins frowned and asked, is it so big?

"Including!" Alan Wilson nodded. The so-called socialist sports refer to the sports that Americans said the Soviet Union was very good at, such as weightlifting, gymnastics, and fencing.

A closer look shows that this is also an event that a certain big country will be good at decades later. The Soviet Union's status in today's weightlifting field is similar to that of a certain big country in later generations. In fact, decades later, weightlifting is still as strong in Eastern Europe. After all, there are differences in race. Among heavyweight weightlifting, athletes from the Caucasus still dominate in gold medals.

Because of their expertise in these projects, the United States collectively refers to these projects as socialist movement projects.

Fortunately it is not the Winter Olympics, otherwise figure skating and ice hockey would also be called this.

Especially in ice hockey, if a person does not live long and is an ice hockey enthusiast, he will probably continue to see the Soviet team win the championship in the next few decades.

"There are also boxing, shooting, cricket, and yes, there are also martial arts, badminton, and table tennis." Alan Wilson said a lot. From the perspective of events, the Commonwealth Games is more important than the Olympic Games. The good one.

As for the promotion of martial arts, let alone the false promotion of martial arts, various southern boxing and north kick masters, the real promotion of martial arts, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the British Empire.

However, martial arts events are limited to routine performances, and there are no battles, otherwise it would be too similar to boxing events.

And to be honest, when it comes to martial arts, it’s just all kinds of boxing. During the period of the Artillery Party, there was a martial arts confrontation between the North and the South. The actual fighting was all kinds of king's boxing, which had no sense of beauty at all. In the end, the southern boxers were defeated with a record of ten fights, one draw and nine losses.

This result fully proves why all confrontation events have to be weighted, and why kicking is more powerful than boxing.

Therefore, after careful consideration, to leave a way for future Hong Kong movies, the competition will not be held. It is good as a performance event. The Malayan representative team will score points and the enclosure will be fun.

The sailing event is reserved for athletes from the UK, as well as athletes from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Newfoundland. After all, given the current economic level, other places do not have the economic conditions to spend time in the sailing event.

After introducing a round of projects to Makins, Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask if he was interested in contributing to Newfoundland's revenue generation. Makins asked directly, "Are you manipulating the game?"

"That's not true. This Commonwealth Games aims to be transparent and clean!" Alan Wilson continued, "But some places are really good at certain sports. Jamaica was invited. I see that Jamaicans are very good at sprinting. There was an advantage, the gown project, and British Kenya also participated.”

"Although the explosive power of black people is good at boxing, they have not been systematically trained. They should not be able to compete with teams like Newfoundland now. If they are not well-nourished, they will not be able to realize their potential."

When Makins heard his friend mention the sports meeting, he was gushing. One look and he knew that he was absolutely serious, "The projects you left to Hong Kong, Malaya, and the Asian Commonwealth countries are small ball games and cricket? "

"Yes, it is a grand gathering of unity, and everyone benefits." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter who ranks first, the most important thing is that everyone is happy."

"I am thoughtful about whether Pakistan and India will compete in cricket. I heard that cricket is very popular in the local area." The two of them walked and chatted, and soon walked out of the mint.

"Why don't cricket be canceled and replaced by football? I don't think it will delay Britain's winning of the gold medal." Alan Wilson suddenly had an idea. What if China and India decided the outcome with football? Who will have the upper hand? It's really a difficult question.

"But you said, which of the three local teams is more promising?" Makins was completely aroused, and the discussion between the two became more and more heated.

"I don't know. Theoretically, it's the England team, but the contingency of football exists." Alan Wilson is not a senior fan and is out of tune with the average British.

Magins was so surprised that he almost doubted whether his friend was British.

Alan Wilson has been sending invitations recently, treating the Commonwealth Games as a stage to showcase Malaya's development achievements, especially the invitation sent to India, which is absolutely affectionate. It directly improves India's treatment. People who don't know better think that Britain is dealing with a superpower.

In terms of sponsorship, the Mountbatten Group is naturally the first to bear the brunt. Together with the four major family businesses in Hong Kong including the Swire Group and the Jardine Matheson Group, they ensure the maximum benefits.

The colonial government of Malaya temporarily liberalized the lottery industry, stimulating the most primitive desire for gambling. As for the representatives attending, Princess Margaret represents the royal family, the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are all confirmed to attend, which can be said to be taken very seriously.

He even asked Norman Brooke to see if the Supreme Authority was interested in taking a rest and relaxing. Maybe you can also see the carpentry skills of the East and be inspired by the cabinet secretary’s carpentry hobby.

The supreme authority now also discovered that Alan Wilson was very interested in this sports meeting, and couldn't help but joke, "If anything goes wrong in this sports meeting, you will be very sad."

"Probably not, dear Sir, Malaya implements the Qing Law." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said, "This law is relatively strict, so I formulated a bunch of management regulations to prevent local residents from coming into contact with it. This kind of punishment. But when I am concentrating on doing one thing, if someone comes out to cause trouble, it is not impossible that the Qing Law cannot be stimulated."

"What about?" Norman Brook unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water.

"For example, the continuous sitting law!" Alan Wilson introduced this set of landmark laws since Shang Yang's reform.

"It's really scary." Norman Brook took a deep breath, and then suddenly asked, "The Supreme Court discussed the abolition of the death penalty before, but now we won't mention it. Does it have anything to do with you?"

Since Norman Brook asked this, he already had doubts in his heart. Of course, he didn't want to give any guidance, he just wanted to ask Alan Wilson what he thought.

"It's just out of a simple sense of justice. In principle, it doesn't need to be implemented, but if it is repealed and the effect is not good, we will not be able to get the bill back. This is the same as extending maternity leave. If it does not have a positive effect, I think It’s hard to get back to square one.”

Although the legal circle is aloof, it is actually just a small closed circle. The law is superior and closed to ordinary citizens, so the abolitionists in many countries can achieve their goals.

But how can I put it, as long as you can get in touch with this circle, it is not that difficult to stop it. The Supreme Court is not all made up of judges. It also has civil servants who look to Whitehall for their salaries. What's more, in the free world, there is nothing that money cannot settle.

Separating the three powers is useless to capital. Let alone three powers, dividing it into one hundred powers is useless.

India received the invitation letter from the Commonwealth at the same time that the British Royal Navy's Indo-Pacific military exercises were held on the east and west sides, in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.

New Delhi was not notified of this Indo-Pacific military exercise and was somewhat shocked after learning the news.

This is even more true as subsequent news comes. I heard that there will be an amphibious landing exercise, which will be carried out on borrowed land in Goa. This made many members of the National Congress feel a vague threat.

At this time, a softly worded invitation full of respect was handed over to Nehru.

This is not about being polite before fighting. The British understand that India does not understand the concept of being polite before fighting. It must show strength first and talk about business. Otherwise, Indians will only think that you are afraid of them.

"The British side mainly wants to do two things, repeating the previous invitation, and using the Kuala Lumpur Games to hope that India and the Portuguese can talk. From this point of view, this time the Indo-Pacific military exercise is the British warning us and Portugal at the same time. people."
