Chapter 416 Newfoundland’s Total Leak

Alan Wilson also took the time to ask about the current political environment in the United States. As a member of the upper class, at least in the same class as Drake, the director of U.S. Steel, Smith Hammer should have his own opinions.

Smith Hammer pondered for a moment, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with saying something in front of an Englishman. He thought for a moment and said, “The war period has passed. In fact, we all urgently hope that Mr. Dewey can lead our country. , It is always not good for a country to be under the control of one party for a long time, and most people don’t like the ideas of the Democratic Party.”

Not much that most people like? The corner of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched. Most of these people should be from the middle and high-income classes in the United States, right? The result of the election was obviously that Truman, who wanted to continue Roosevelt's policies, won the election.

Because of the Civil War, the Democratic Party is a political party with a historical burden in the United States. It is very difficult to win over the Republican Party. Unless the international situation is tense, in normal years of elections, as long as the Republican Party completes intra-party competition, it will basically win. There is an eighty percent chance of winning.

Excluding the two Democratic presidents Wilson and Roosevelt during World War I and World War II, the number of times the Democratic Party defeated the Republican Party in other election years was extremely low.

Now that the war is over, and most of the donors also support the Republican Party's comeback, if Dewey, who is so optimistic, loses the election, it can only mean that times have changed, and Roosevelt has completely carried the Democratic Party away from the historical burden of the Democratic loser in the Civil War. Come out.

Obviously the Republican Party is also full of confidence in regaining power this time. If it loses, it will definitely have a huge impact on the ideas of the Republican Party. No wonder the Republican Party supported McCarthy after Truman's victory, which is contrary to the image of a successful person created by the Republican Party before. , completely desperate.

Boston should also be a place that supports the Republican Party. Alan Wilson thinks that if you have time at the end of the year, you should take the time to see what state the Republican Party is in. You can always have some opinions on the result of losing the popular vote for the first time in peacetime. , especially when the situation is good before the election.

Alan Wilson, who was a bit of a landowner, personally escorted Smith Hammer to the ship. The other party also had an expression of astonishment. Before boarding the ship, he promised to ask about those rubbish that no one wanted...the delicate pig hands and offal. , how to deal with it.

As the richest country in the world today, the United States is also undergoing a food revolution. A competition called "Tomorrow's Chicken" kicked off in 1946. Farmers and chicken farms across the United States The farm directors all came to participate in the competition. They each selected the most satisfactory eggs and sent them to specially built facilities for incubation. The chicks were hatched and raised on a standard diet. Specialized personnel closely tracked the chicks and monitored their appearance, weight and Health status.

This year is the year of the finals. If nothing else goes wrong, the white-feathered chicken will also ascend to the altar through this competition. From now on, fifty-six days later, the weight of one kilogram will be released.

Step by step, I reached the weight of four kilograms in forty-five days.

Tomorrow's Chicken Contest is very popular in the United States, and the organizers invite celebrities and TV stations to broadcast it live.

This is very consistent with Alan Wilson's original intention. He also did the same, inviting Hollywood actresses to shoot promotional videos for Newfoundland, including spokespersons for Newfoundland, as well as spokespersons representing forestry, fisheries and tax avoidance tourism, just waiting. People arrive.

Just a few days after returning to the capital, St. John's, Alan Wilson received telegrams one after another. Pamela Mountbatten asked where to go for exploration. In his reply, Alan Wilson said that this matter should not be rushed.

Based on his own experience of working as a lumberjack in the deep mountains and old forests, he persuaded his fiancée’s eagerness. If the contract is signed and the iron ore is found, it is not obvious that the UK has known about this for a long time. Do people hide it?

It is obviously a good thing, which will help the British mainland and Australia to have closer relations and forget the unpleasantness of the Singapore Battle. It wouldn't be bad if something goes wrong. Alan Wilson argued in the Telegraph that a one-year deadline would be more appropriate.

Alan Wilson calculated the time. If iron ore is discovered next year, it will take one year to make the necessary investment.

So when the price of iron ore increased during the Korean War, it almost happened to enter the market. He still believed that the Korean War would break out because after Hokkaido was occupied by the Soviet Union, the Americans still took back half of the Korean Peninsula.

Compared with history, the situation in Northeast Asia has not changed significantly except for Hokkaido.

In contrast, there was the vigorous construction plan of the Red Navy. In fact, the difference between Stalin and Khrushchev was that Stalin was actually extremely enthusiastic about the construction of the Red Navy after the war, and his enthusiasm even exceeded the actual needs of the current Soviet Union.

Before the Battle of Berlin, Stalin instructed the Navy to restart the construction of the "Grand Fleet", including resuming the construction of the battleship "Soviet".

The Soviet Naval Science and Technology Committee also inspected the hull of the "Kronshtadt" in the spring of 1945. However, the structure and protection of this warship were well balanced and could be transformed into a brand new large aircraft carrier.

According to this plan, ten years after the end of the war, the Red Navy should have four battleships, ten battlecruisers, thirty heavy cruisers, fifty-four light cruisers, six aircraft carriers, six small aircraft carriers, and one large destroyer. A fleet of one hundred and thirty-two ships and two hundred and twenty-six destroyers.

Alan Wilson, who lived in the bitter cold land of Newfoundland, also did not forget his respected father-in-law, General Mountbatten, who was presiding over the partition of India and Pakistan.

Mountbatten's schedule has been very tight recently, and he has decided to travel between India and Pakistan in two days to attend two Independence Day celebrations.

There is also a son-in-law in Newfoundland who talks about the future of the Royal Navy in the telegram. The problem is that Mountbatten, who has never forgotten his dream to be the future First Lord of the Navy, is not immune to this topic.

Alan Wilson's telegram stated that increasing military spending to build the Royal Navy was not enough according to the Labor Party's views. It is more realistic to be able to complete normal upgrading, and financial solutions can be found.

Regarding how the navy can cry poverty, Alan Wilson mentioned the construction of the Red Navy. This is not a secret. It is written in the five-year plans of the Soviet Union at various levels, and it is all public information.

Whether he can successfully shape the threat theory of the Soviet Red Navy may have an effect on the normal upgrading of the Royal Navy without being disturbed. If Mountbatten is willing to show his connections and communicate with military bosses, it may have unexpected effects.

Before the call back from his father-in-law, Alan Wilson had another fireside chat after Smith Hammer left Newfoundland, explaining the discussion with Smith Hammer about the development of Newfoundland's fisheries.

At the same time, the main purpose is to secretly stuff private goods, which shows from the side that the current state of Newfoundland is the most beneficial to future development. In this broadcast, Alan Wilson mentioned specific Newfoundland development plans, including The development of fisheries, forestry and trade free ports.

"Although I am young, I have visited many places under the British Empire, but only Newfoundland gave me such an impression. No one has ever seen what heaven looks like, but Newfoundland fits my definition of heaven."

Starting with a model of paradise above and New Island below, Alan Wilson talked about Newfoundland's geographical location. It simply takes into account both Europe and the American continent. It can do a lot of things with its geographical location between Europe and America. .

Just say that the Newfoundland version is flying together. During the broadcast, Alan Wilson's expectations for the free trade port and his optimism for forestry resources were beyond words. However, after praising the unique fishery resources as usual, he proposed A worry.

"Modern society has become more and more efficient in acquiring resources. I don't know whether this is a bad thing or not. From the perspective of food, when we think that God's gifts are inexhaustible, nature always A reminder not to be too optimistic about this.”

"In Mauritius, humans discovered the dodo, a bird that was declared extinct within two hundred years..."

"The Stella sea cow in the Bering Strait is the largest animal after whales. It only took twenty-seven years from the time they were discovered to the time they became extinct. "

"In the past, passenger pigeons blocked the sky in the North American sky. Once they took off, the sun was blocked. There were 5 billion passenger pigeons, but they only lasted a hundred years."

"With the technological development of society, trawlers are getting bigger and bigger, and they sail farther and farther. The Newfoundland fisheries are a coveted target in the eyes of trawlers from various unknown countries, and it is too late to stop poaching. "If I agree to the proposal to increase production, I will be opening up Newfoundland's fisheries to trawlers. The citizens of Newfoundland will get money in the short term, but maybe twenty years from now, the fisheries will be exhausted."

Alan Wilson said on the radio that he would never selfishly give up Newfoundland's natural treasures and turn it into a one-time deal.

The subtext is that as long as Newfoundlanders can make their own decisions, they have undisputed control over Newfoundland's fishing grounds.

Trawlers from other countries dare to sneak in and catch people. If Newfoundland becomes part of other countries, then its fate will not be in its own hands.

He couldn't make it too obvious in the official broadcast, but of course, his interpretation of this broadcast was leaked out as expected, forming a discussion among the residents of Newfoundland.
