Chapter 428

"I heard that Mr. Gandhi is dead!" After whispering in a whisper, Hillenkot asked the subordinates who came in to report the news to go out, and prepared a heavy tone, facing Alan Wilson.

"Really!" Alan Wilson was overjoyed, but his face immediately changed, and he made a strange expression on his face. "I mean, this is really a tragedy. Mr. Gandhi is such a respected person."

"Oh, it is indeed a tragedy." Seeing the expression of the British guy in front of him, Major General Hellenkot knew what the other person was really thinking. "Mr. Gandhi's death is a loss to the whole world."

"I very much agree with this." Alan Wilson pursed his lips, unwilling to spoil the atmosphere at this time, "The Mahatma who guarded the harmony between nature and mankind in India is gone, and it is a loss for the entire human race."

"That's the truth!" Major-General Hillencott understood that, in reality, only the urban middle class cared about protecting the countryside, since they didn't have to live there.

Major General Hillencott awarded the medal by the way, as a recognition of Allen Wilson's achievements during the war, and it was also out of political considerations. After all, although a medal is precious, it is still very cheap compared to the relationship between countries. .

Alan Wilson is the son-in-law of Mountbatten, and Mountbatten has now returned to London. According to the current news, the experience of British India will not affect Mountbatten's career.

This is exactly the case, and many people here are talking about Mountbatten's personal ambitions and future job arrangements. Some said he might go into politics, some said he might go into business; others said he would be a civilian minister of defense. In fact, all such speculations are far-fetched.

Mountbatten's determination to return to the navy has never wavered. His ambition is simply to inherit his father's career and eventually become the First Sea Lord. In order to realize his ambition, he has only one way to go - to return to the Royal Navy.

On the third day after returning home, Mountbatten applied to the head of the navy. Since Mountbatten's military status in the Royal Navy has been retained, there is no obstacle for him to return, but it is quite a headache for the heads of the navy to arrange a suitable position for him in the highly hierarchical Royal Navy. He served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Southeast Asia Theater and had just been Governor of India.

In the end, under Mountbatten's own insistence, he was able to return to the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and continue to be the commander of his first cruiser fleet, taking into account the safety of the Suez Canal. As we all know, the significance of the Suez Canal to the United Kingdom is very important.

Among the military bases in northern Newfoundland, plus Canada, an intelligence cooperation meeting between Britain, the United States and Canada has already been held.

Although Alan Wilson is the local chief executive and a member of MI6, he is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting. Of course, he is not interested. Intelligence officers join,

Even more ironic.

If he had this opportunity, he might as well greet his father-in-law. After all, Mountbatten happened to be in charge of the Suez Canal. In fact, looking at the causes and consequences of the Suez Canal War alone.

Alan Wilson felt that the outbreak of the war was nonsensical. If he were to tell the truth, judging from the reaction of Robert Anthony Eden, the Prime Minister when the Suez Canal War broke out, his first intuitive reflection was that the Prime Minister was betraying the country. .

Maybe this kind of reaction is unreasonable, but the key point is that Prime Minister Eden's back and forth is too much like a traitor who has penetrated into our country, and there is no reason for the outbreak.

Regardless of whether or not the Conservative Party was involved, Alan Wilson felt that Mountbatten's return to the Mediterranean Fleet was a good thing for him, and he also heard that his old boss, Sir Barron, had gone to the Persian Gulf, which was great.

Civil servants who are loyal to the empire can always find a suitable place to continue to shine.

Alan Wilson, who is carrying the Medal of Excellence in Intelligence, is still deeply cultivating his one-acre three-point land while conducting intelligence meetings in the north. Every day, a ship of timber arrives in Europe from the port.

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of credit?" Ingrid Bergman fiddled with the medal awarded to Alan Wilson, and said in amazement, "I didn't expect you to be a war hero."

"What do you call me? What's wrong with me!" Alan Wilson was reluctant when he heard it, "Ingrid, let's say in good conscience, I am very good to anyone I know. This has passed the test of time." of."

"It's true, but it's a little too good." Ingrid Bergman said bluntly, she was really afraid that she would get pregnant if she continued to stay in Newfoundland, "You little idiot, put Vivienne on us Is it very fulfilling to be a liar, and all the things learned in the intelligence field have been applied to us."

"I can't say that. Is it wrong for me to follow my heart? It's normal for any man to have some thoughts when facing a woman like you." Alan Wilson began to speak to Ingrid Praise Arching in Man's broad mind, he did not deny the fact that he followed his heart.

"I really can't do anything about you..." There were whispers in the room, followed by the sound of clothes falling.

Before Vivien Leigh and the others came back, the two had already become bone-setting. Ingrid Bergman blushed, obviously quite satisfied with Alan Wilson's craftsmanship.

The simple and boring life of the governor of Newfoundland is still going on, just like the financial situation in Newfoundland is gradually easing, it is developing in a good direction.

After all, it was time to say goodbye. The four distinguished guests from Hollywood had finished filming in Newfoundland, and they were about to return to the United States to seek cooperation from a TV station to broadcast the promotional film.

At the last moment, Vivien Leigh didn't even pretend to be pretending, and lived directly opposite the Governor's Mansion. She hoped that in the last moment in Newfoundland, there would be a man who could hug her and make her fall asleep.

Alan Wilson sent these actresses to the port the next day. Considering Vivien Leigh's emotions, he said, "I have a job at the Boston Consulate. After Newfoundland is on the right track, I will find a chance to visit you in the United States."

"You must go!" Vivien Leigh whispered, "Even bright flowers need careful care."

"That's right, I'm that kind of powerful cow dung." Alan Wilson didn't mind being black at all, and said triumphantly, "It's more beautiful to support many flowers to bloom. In fact, I should be the one who is worried, I It's just a lowly social tool, how can it compare with you female stars who are loved by thousands of people?"

"Is there a sense of crisis? Do you want Vivian to embroider your name on your underwear, so that you can get in touch with each other intimately." Ingrid Bergman came over, full of tiger and wolf words, which made Vivien Leigh very upset. Excuse me.

"You can have such a reputation in Hollywood. There is no other explanation except that your appearance is too good." Alan Wilson took a deep breath. He didn't know whether he should be angry. Anger seems to be too trivial, but if there is no response , this tone is a little hard to swallow.

Until several actresses boarded the boat, Alan Wilson was still standing on the pier with his waist pinched, why did the more he thought about it, the more angry he became?

Alan Wilson has already practiced the job in Newfoundland. After all, a place with less than 200,000 citizens cannot compare with the work in the former British India. He has returned to his old job.

The subtle manipulation of public opinion has provoked discussions about whether it is better to maintain the current state or to restore the state of the Dominion, and the option of merging Canada has been blocked.

This subtly excludes Canada from the options for future discussions. There are only two options left. Either become independent as a dominion, or become part of the United Kingdom.

The advantage of becoming a dominion is that the Newfoundland timber that has entered the European market, as well as the benefits brought by Newfoundland's own fishing grounds, all belong to Newfoundland itself.

The advantage of maintaining the status quo is that the vast European market, with the help of the UK, can make it easier for Newfoundland products to enter, and the UK is far away. In fact, Newfoundland is still an autonomous state, and the Royal Navy can also be used to protect Newfoundland. Newfoundland fishing grounds, in general, have their own advantages.

Of course, Attlee's announcement that a welfare society has been established is also under discussion, which can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to the theory of maintaining the status quo.

This kind of work is no stranger to Alan Wilson. He was very familiar with this kind of work when he was working in British India. Finnish populations are left and right.

Of course, this is still far from enough. After Mountbatten returned to China, Pamela Mountbatten also successfully returned home, and has already sent a telegram, saying that she would take time to see her fiancé.

Of course, Alan Wilson expressed his miss in the telegram, but he also complained in a timely manner, saying that he did not want to end his first overseas work as the last chief executive of Newfoundland like the father of his fiancée .

Alan Wilson's tone in the telegram was very aggrieved, as if he had been persecuted by Whitehall.

"Where can I help you?" After receiving a telegram from Pamela Mountbatten again, Alan Wilson knew it was time for a true confession.

"If at an appropriate time, our distinguished Crown Prince and his wife can come to Newfoundland, it may cause a very warm response to the local residents. At that time, the residents of Newfoundland, whose economy has been revived, will still feel the Crown Prince and his wife. attention, then in the referendum, it is very likely that there will be a result that is biased towards the referendum.”

A day later, Pamela Mountbatten’s telegram arrived at St. John’s again, which said, “I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Elizabeth. The exploration company has shares in the crown prince, and she should not refuse me. "
