Chapter 413 Keen Capital

Regarding the practice of the Newfoundland forest mining plan, Alan Wilson could not avoid it. Most of the Chinese workers who came had never used a chain saw. After all, the kerosene lamps in China were all owned by the Rockefeller family.

With China's power generation capacity, many people have never even seen an electric light. During the Liberation War, some soldiers saw an electric light for the first time and couldn't help but put their heads over to light a cigarette with a cigarette butt in their mouth.

Alan Wilson tried his best to select those who were literate or smart among the Chinese people who had arrived in Malaya for more than two years. All the use of chain saws and electricity use had to be taught from scratch.

Although British Malaya was not a very advanced place, at least the Chinese did not eat pork and saw pigs running around.

There are native settlements at the mouth of the Humber River. As the second largest settlement in Newfoundland, there are also electrical facilities here. But since he arrived, local residents have been deprived of electricity. Valuable electricity must be used for rough processing of wood.

The second step is to confiscate all the fishing nets brought along with them, as well as the fishing nets of the residents of the Humber River Estuary, reorganize them into interception nets, and set them up in dangerous places to intercept logs drifting down the river.

After Alan Wilson arrived here, he learned that this settlement was called Corner Brook Town. He came forward to explain the purpose of coming here to the mayor and the respected people of the town.

After gaining understanding, work officially started. However, something happened a few days later that shocked the residents of Corner Brook. This incident was a bit dumbfounding.

After all, logging is a dangerous job, because it has not officially started yet, but the Chinese laborers have begun to adapt gradually, trying to establish an unbreakable and close relationship with their new friend, Mr. Chainsaw. It is not too much to wear a safety helmet during forestry production.

However, the simple living supplies that Alan Wilson came to British Newfoundland this time were provided by the Hellman family. The simple camp bed is understandable, but what the residents of Corner Brook cannot understand the most is why these Chinese workers are wearing German-style steel helmets.

"Isn't that to make the best use of things? It's of excellent quality and much safer than a helmet." Alan Wilson also wears a German M35 steel helmet. Its edges are rounded and curved, and the inner lining is more conducive to protecting the head. department.

The shape of the German-style steel helmet is obviously different from that of most countries. There are veterans from Newfoundland who have enlisted in World War II. They immediately discovered that this is not the equipment of the German army.

"Once autumn arrives, I have also ordered winter clothes from the Soviet Union. Don't be surprised then."

After explaining the German helmet thing in front of the residents of Corner Brook, Alan Wilson didn't forget to joke.

As the number of Chinese workers arriving in batches increases day by day, the residents of Corner Brook must be feeling a little uncomfortable. Alan Wilson said that if there are any communication problems, just ask him. He understands Chinese and will solve the problem if he finds it, and try not to disturb Kona. The lives of Brook residents.

As for the issue of electricity consumption, I hope that the residents of Corner Brook will put the overall interests of Newfoundland first, and once there are benefits, they will definitely compensate the local residents for the inconvenience in their lives.

Regarding the future of Corner Brook, Alan Wilson said that he would consider food processing, focusing on the slogan of pure natural.

This is why he started to talk nonsense after he recovered. He was so exhausted for the first few days after arriving in Corner Brook that he was carried back by a group of Chinese workers. It was because he had not done any physical work for a long time.

In order to pretend that I was okay, I ended up exhausted.

But as a member of nature, it makes sense for humans to become the masters of the earth.

Early humans evolved long legs suitable for long-distance running, long Achilles tendons, toes that are very short compared to other animals, well-developed hip muscles, etc. These characteristics are not necessary for walking, but they are very suitable for long distances. run.

More importantly, humans have a much more powerful cooling system than other animals. The human body is covered with sweat glands. As long as there is enough water, the body temperature can be kept constant during long-term exercise. This is why the sweating horse stands out from the crowd and became an important means of transportation in ancient times.

And a man can beat a horse to death. During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, the Soviet Red Army drove the Cossacks into a tailspin. They set a record for long marches on foot and drove the Russian cavalry all the way to Siberia.

Human endurance is invincible in long-distance sports. Generally speaking, humans are not as good as horses in long-distance running within one day, but they can surpass horses within three days. Once the time exceeds ten days, no animal on the earth is a match for humans.

Within two days, Alan Wilson's body readjusted to the physical work and he was sleeping more soundly.

We work together with a chain saw every day, impart some experience of living in high latitudes, and build houses. With the arrival of batches of Chinese workers, and the distance between the logging area and Corner Brook, the Chinese workers will definitely live directly in the logging area. District.

In fact, except for the discomfort in the first few days, Alan Wilson, who is not very old physically and is even at his peak, now feels any fatigue that can be solved by sleeping one night.

When he was in the deep mountains and forests, except for Pamela Mountbatten, who had obtained the mineral exploration rights in Australia. The most important thing in Europe is the Coal and Iron Community plan led by Britain and France.

After the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg accepted the Marshall Plan, they began to plan the idea of ​​a trilateral common market. This was also the first prototype of the coal-iron community in history. Germany and France only joined in the 1950s.

This time Britain took the initiative to establish a coal and iron community with France for several reasons. First, the United Kingdom has promised the United States to contribute to the European Common Market. This is a condition obtained in exchange for sterling controls at the Paris Conference.

In exchange for helping to establish the European Common Market in exchange for sterling controls, the UK must fulfill its obligations and contribute. Otherwise, the Marshall Plan can be stopped at any time. After all, it is the Americans who have the final say whether to pay or not.

After all, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Since the UK believes that the value of the pound is more important, it must respond to the needs of the United States.

So whether it is willing in its heart or not, Britain must make some efforts. Different from history, the United Kingdom has always occupied the British-occupied areas as a wing to supplement national power. Now the United States has begun to test whether it can merge the two British-occupied areas.

Because the effect of the two-wing plan was very good, Britain was of course unwilling to do so. The Marshall Plan was the icing on the cake for Britain, far from being a timely help in history. London certainly did not want to spit out the benefits it received.

They pretended to be deaf to the United States' attempts to merge, and on the other hand used the coal-iron community as a card to deal with the United States.

Naturally, this card must be played well. Another reason is that Britain hopes to legally deprive Germany of some of its interests through the framework of the Coal and Iron Community while Germany is still in a state of partitioned occupation and has no government.

In this case, even if Germany has a government in the future, in the face of this fait accompli, it can only accept the fact that Britain takes advantage. It will be difficult for Britain to do this on its own, so it is of course necessary to join forces with France.

This idea was described in Alan Wilson's report to Prime Minister Attlee in the chapter "Flying Together in Europe".

However, Britain is an island country, and Britain's interests are naturally in conflict with those of the European continent, and there are more and more times when they are in conflict.

The UK loved to see a fragmented Europe with serious internal strife. Back then, the UK acted as a troublemaker in Europe, using the continental balance of power policy to stir up wars in the continent and create an empire on which the sun never sets.

Now the United States and the Soviet Union are in a stronger position. Because of the control of the pound and exchange rate issues, London has to agree to the United States' request to promote the European Common Market. However, this is not completely consistent with France's urgent psychology. The United Kingdom just shouts the slogan first and surrounds it. Negotiating the coal and iron community for a year and a half may delay the merger plan proposed by the United States and drag out the time.

France, on the other hand, is obviously more interested. Although the UK does not seem to be enthusiastic enough, compared with itself for hundreds of years, if the UK can really promote the European common market, in the eyes of the French, it can be regarded as a prodigal son who can return without money.

The French didn't know that London even thought of stalling for time. When France's political situation is unstable, the government always changes.

Now London particularly hopes that Paris will change its government so that it can take the opportunity to wait and see and then renegotiate again.

If Paris does not change the government, London will formulate a six-month negotiation plan for this purpose, and adopt the framework of the Coal and Iron Community six months after the current President of the Council of Ministers takes office.

However, unlike the communities in history, this time the UK is willing to take the initiative to play a role in the community, which is more powerful. It will certainly not be the case that any member of the EU will object and it will be difficult to make a decision.

After all, Germany and Italy have not yet shaken off the shackles of defeated countries. Britain and France are two permanent members of the Security Council. The coal and iron community they have created will definitely not be as good as the European Union in later generations in terms of quarreling with each other.

As for Alan Wilson, who lives deep in the mountains and old forests, he is still working as a diligent lumberjack and bragging with the Chinese workers.

"Master Zhongtang, how did an island country in the UK get to where it is today?" Su Yang, who was holding a chain saw, imitated Alan Wilson, walking like a goose, preparing to kill a waist-thick book.

"Ever since the Agricultural Revolution in the 15th century, Britain's standard of living has been the highest in Europe." Because of the noise of logging, Alan Wilson said loudly, "The standard of living at that time should be much better than that of other civilizations." .After all, there are only five million people in the mainland, and the pressure of life is much less than that of civilizations with larger populations."

When the chief executive was working as a happy lumberjack, some outsiders appeared in the capital city of St. John's. Capital has always been the sharpest. Even if the transformation of Newfoundland's tax haven was not widely publicized, people still came to the door after smelling the smell.
