Chapter 398 Arriving in Malaya

The matter regarding Alan Wilson has been decided internally. As long as he completes the preparations and goes to take office, he will be officially appointed as the British Consul in Boston. This is a formal appointment!

So far, both Prime Minister Attlee, Edward Bridges, and Norman Brooke believe that the independence of British Newfoundland is inevitable, so Alan Wilson's appointment as consul in Boston is just a transition. More important.

"Pamela, is your fiancé going to be the governor-general now?" The people surrounding Pamela Mountbatten sighed in unison, mainly praising the strength of the Mountbatten family.

"It's so annoying. It must be very hard to go to such a remote place." The governor's wife, who was feeling happy, waved her hands, with a look of distress on her face, and complained to her girlfriends around her.

"That's the Governor-General too, you are the Governor-General's wife..." A group of noble ladies praised her without hesitation, making Pamela Mountbatten the focus at multiple levels and angles.

Alan Wilson, who has arrived in Bonn, is not aware that his fiancée's vanity has grown, but this is human nature and he would not say anything if he knew it.

"I want simple daily necessities for 10,000 people, such as bed frames and the like." Alan Wilson got off the plane from Bonn Airport and saw the Dragoon sisters. Let's talk about small things first, and we can talk about serious matters later.

"I have already contacted the Steele family about the chain saw. Because of winter heating issues, last winter was extremely cold. Coal cannot solve all problems. Many people cut wood for heating. Chain saws are not very sensitive products. Production has already resumed." Pokina watched as Alan Wilson entered the room step by step and said, "Andreas has already said that there is no problem with production capacity, but where can I get the bed frame?"

"What about the German military camps before the war? It's not enough for a concentration camp. I don't believe that people in concentration camps sleep on the ground." Alan Wilson said without even thinking, "Germany doesn't need it now, so just give it to me."

"The people detained in the concentration camp almost slept on the ground. I was thinking of a solution in the pre-war military camp." Bokina sighed, "In such a far place, there is nothing besides cold. You can go too." .”

"That's not a problem, it's definitely warmer than Siberia." Alan Wilson joked, but he didn't see the slightest unnatural expression on the woman's face, and thought he had discovered something.

A few hours later, after some explanation, Alan Wilson skillfully opened the chain saw and made two gestures, and said to Andreas Steele, the head of the Steele family, "Something is wrong. I’m so used to it, I want a tall chainsaw, you can add an integrated handle in this position.”

At least in his memory, it seems that the people around him, whether working or private, are all old-fashioned high-handled chain saws originating from Liuzhou. The high-handled chain saws are all green and are the most commonly used chain saws in forestry production.

"There's no problem with the weight, just add a tall handle. There's no need to be picky about a single-person chain saw. If the cost can be kept down, I'd like 10,000." Alan Wilson said cheerfully, "An It should be no problem if Mr. Dreas gives me an extra handful."

"Of course there is no problem. I will try my best to control costs and help Mr. Allen solve the difficulties." Andreas Steele said there is no problem.

"Just send it directly to Newfoundland after leaving the factory. You don't have to collect enough money to ship it." Alan Wilson nodded, "It will be used directly when the time comes. For Mr. Andreas Steele's help,

I am personally very grateful and if there is any need, I am willing to help within my ability. By the way, there is also a band saw. Don’t worry, I’m definitely not trying to plunder anything. Just buy it at the normal price. "

As the world's No. 1 chain saw brand in later generations, Alan Wilson can't be counted as losing money by helping the other party once. In the field of machinery, German manufacturing has a good reputation, and it will be a matter of time before it recovers.

As for the band saw, the band saw machine was invented by the Englishman Newbury in 1808. However, due to the insufficient manufacturing and welding technology of the saw teeth at that time, it was not adopted. Fifty years later, France was the first to successfully produce a woodworking band saw machine for production, and it was widely used. Although band saws appeared later than circular saws and frame saws, they are the most widely used.

As for the biggest advantage of the band saw machine, Alan Wilson believes that it is powerful. The efficiency of the circular saw is far behind that of the band saw machine.

After the other party left, Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said to Bokina, "Has this company taken a stake?"

"No, you didn't say that either." Pokina whispered in surprise, "Isn't he just a chain saw seller?"

"Now you can find a way to talk. Don't buy or sell by force. Stay patient and you will have a chance sooner or later." Alan Wilson also gave a few more instructions, fearing that this woman would come forward and rely on the support of the British-occupied Trade Committee. Taking advantage of others.

Due to the war, there were more women than men in Germany. Alan Wilson took action to solve the demand for dragoons. This was not too much. It was not him. Many British people came to Germany and had already established cross-border marriages.

Anyway, it was domestic women who were unfaithful first. These retired soldiers found women from Germany who were younger and more pursuing progress, so naturally they divorced without hesitation.

Of course, for the British people on the Trade Commission, the cost of marriage is still too high, and a mistress is obviously more cost-effective. Although there have been many incidents of German girls giving birth to children out of wedlock, who knows as long as they are kept tightly covered?

"Actually, I feel a little bit blasphemous towards you." He ate with the dragoon sisters, took a bath together, and finally during the break, Alan Wilson began to express his reluctance to go to Newfoundland.

You’ve almost stuffed two small balls in, but you still don’t feel like blaspheming? Anna fell in love with Alan Wilson, and how could she be blasphemed when she secretly cursed in her heart?

"Wood is also needed for post-war reconstruction. I estimate that the next few years will be the peak of construction in Europe, and the demand for wood is huge. If Germany can express goodwill to Newfoundland, I believe it will also be grateful to the residents of Newfoundland. ." Alan Wilson also did not forget to advertise the place where he was going to work.

"What's the benefit to me?" Pokina said pretending to be displeased, "I'm grateful that it's a British colony, not a German one."

"Whatever benefit you want, I can do it as long as I can do it." Alan Wilson swore, saying that for the well-being of the people of Newfoundland, no matter the cost.

"Really?" Bokina stretched out her onion-like finger and touched the man's lips, and said calmly, "Actually, I don't have any special requirements. I just want to experience the eloquent tongue of an imperial civil servant."

"I want it too, I want it too." Anna on the other side heard it and said that she must have her own share.

Alan Wilson got on a plane to Rome and had to go through constant transfers to reach Malaya.

Looking at the sea below, his eyes were very calm, and it seemed that he could smell the sea through the window. The governor had sacrificed too much for the well-being of the residents of Newfoundland.

As for the Indians in the subcontinent, this is a happy day. There are rumors circulating that the Governor General of British India is going to distribute money, no matter where the news comes from. Indians who are illiterate don't care about the consequences of the so-called distribution of money to all people. They only know the authenticity of the fact that money is going to be distributed. Anyone who blocks it is the enemy of the entire India.

After all, all this has nothing to do with Alan Wilson. India is a thing of the past for him. He now has to fight for the future of Newfoundland. There is no need in his heart to leave Newfoundland and become part of the United Kingdom. If he can do it Best of all, if you fail to do so, the head of Whitehall has promised that it will not affect your future.

In fact, after learning about his appointment and the Boston consul, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that London really looked down upon Newfoundland. To be fair, this attitude was very infuriating.

Next to British Newfoundland is the French St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands. Compared with Newfoundland, which has more than 400,000 square kilometers, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands only has more than 200 square kilometers. In a few decades, it will not be able to Self-sufficiency requires subsidies from the French government.

Because the soil and climate conditions are not suitable for agricultural production, there is only a small amount of vegetable planting, pig raising and egg poultry production. Even so, France is willing to pay the money, and would rather support the residents of the island than let this land of more than 200 square kilometers become independent. Although France was defeated by the British during the colonial era, at least its attitude was not the same. question.

Sometimes I think that if France had not lost the Seven Years' War, perhaps the main body of France today would have moved to North America, and it would be engaged in the North American Cold War with the United States. It would certainly not be the result of the struggle of its ancestors, like the United Kingdom, which had given up.

Britain suffered heavy losses in the two world wars, but it was nothing compared to France. France was able to retain a lot of overseas territories, but Britain, which had a better foundation, lost nothing. Is it true that it has an island country mentality? Natural flaw?

Since Malaya was regarded as the colonial center of British India after independence, together with the Kra Isthmus obtained from Thailand and Burma, the local colonies were merged into Malaya, including the Straits Settlements, the Federation of Malay, and the Malay States. Together with Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia, they merged into British Malaya.

Alan Wilson's plane landed in Kuala Lumpur, and he got off the plane and went directly to the local colonial establishment. There was no Governor-General in British Malaya. After the war, the High Commissioner of British Malaya exercised power as a representative of the British Empire. The High Commissioner was Gerald Edward. It was this British representative who was not the Governor-General that Alan Wilson found.

On the way to the Commissioner's Office, Alan Wilson also observed the living conditions in Kuala Lumpur, but time was tight and he was not the manager here, so he only took a brief look.

There was nothing polite about it. After meeting Gerald Edward and shaking hands to express friendship, Alan Wilson's first words were, "Commissioner Gerald, we have contacted each other many times through telegrams. This time we came to Malaya. I hope you can help me."
