Chapter 443 Crown Prince’s Approval
The chief executive of Newfoundland can directly feel that when he was young, Lafayette was really very good, both in terms of appearance and clothing.
If there is such a thing as British style, it is most vividly reflected in the crown prince and his wife.
Crown Prince Elizabeth wore expressive gloves, which were the same color as the wallet in her hand, and looked very solemn. Of course, there was also the iconic hat of the British royal family. British ladies rarely do not wear hats, because it is considered inappropriate to show hair in public. , as for Prince Philip, he wore a military uniform with a shining badge.
The image of the golden boy and beautiful girl immediately conquered the hearts of Newfoundland citizens. After all, people are visual animals. Anyone who has something that attracts the eye will naturally have a favorable impression.
In fact, Alan Wilson told the truth that he felt that the love brain was actually better in appearance, but he did not say it out loud. When leading the crown prince and his wife to the residence, he did not forget to instill personal information into his fiancée and slander important members of the royal family.
"My dear, I didn't expect that the two princesses came out, and His Majesty actually agreed. This made me feel a lot of pressure." Alan Wilson said cautiously as he looked at the crown prince and his wife who were greeted with warm cheers.
"Her Majesty and the Crown Prince also have a headache if she insists on following her." Pamela Mountbatten comforted her softly, "I know you think she is a little prejudiced, but it's okay. Besides, don't slander important members of the royal family."
"Miss Pamela, how dare I?" Ellen Wilson decisively admitted her mistake and reserved the right to make it again next time.
But there is no doubt that as the crown princes of the British Empire, the arrival of Crown Prince Elizabeth and Prince Philip have successfully captured the hearts of Newfoundland citizens. Alan Wilson feels that if a referendum is held now, something big will happen.
This in itself was also his important purpose, and at least Pamela Mountbatten knew this purpose clearly.
Since the Crown Prince and his wife have long been accustomed to the dark cuisine of the British Empire, Alan Wilson did not use the fancy food of the Chinese workers to entertain the Queen. Except for some more buns, it would be better to leave the rest to him, a humble social instrument.
"The Chinese workers in Newfoundland are quite supportive of my sister." Princess Margaret was very curious about the buns, but the Crown Prince and his wife were nearby and they were too embarrassed to do anything.
In just a short time, the few buns had already entered Alan Wilson's stomach. After careful consideration, he realized that although this unknown food was an expression of Chinese workers' welcome to the crown prince and his wife, it still had certain dangers.
As Chief Executive of Newfoundland,
Alan Wilson decided to help the royal family nip this danger in the bud.
This made Princess Margaret quite dissatisfied. She even twitched the bow around her neck and looked at Alan Wilson angrily.
"Essentially, I've been thinking about this solution ever since Pamela told me about the inheritance tax. Once my job moved to Newfoundland, I had a clear vision." Alan Wilson was also a first-timer In front of the crown prince and his wife, is it okay to talk face to face like this? Key politicians have always had courage that is almost foolish, and he happens to have it too.
"Colonies have the benefits of colonies. Of course, this term may not be politically correct in the future. It is better to use royal territory to describe it." Alan Wilson said eloquently, "This is not the native land, and naturally there is no need to abide by the native laws. About For the upcoming referendum, I think it is better to divide it into four options, annexing to Canada, of course I don’t want this. Re-becoming a dominion, this option is acceptable. Incorporating into the United Kingdom, but considering the current political difficulties in London, it may be very difficult, and The local residents should also be unwilling to lose power for a long time, so it is still very difficult to be incorporated into the UK. The next step is to become a royal territory."
The British royal family of course has its own territories, such as the Isle of Man. Legally speaking, this island does not belong to the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, the European Union or the United Nations, but is a British Crown dependency.
You must know that the Isle of Man is not an empty island without value, but a place where tens of thousands of people live. Although there is no clear ownership relationship, after all, this is the private territory of the royal family, so the people here also have British nationality to the outside world. It’s just that sometimes people from the Isle of Man are specifically marked.
The Isle of Man has a high degree of autonomy, but the security of the island has always been the responsibility of the British side. From this point of view, it can quite explain its status as a private dependency of the royal family.
"Royal territory?" If you ask Crown Prince Elizabeth if she agrees, of course she agrees. Who would disagree?
"Yes, the Crown Territory. In fact, Newfoundland's autonomy is not short-lived. It is just that the parliament was canceled due to financial problems." Alan Wilson considered with a thoughtful face, "If it wants to be incorporated into the mainland, it may really be a question. And we have to take into account the factors of the United States. Newfoundland is not a small place in terms of area. After comparing the four options, I am actually most inclined to the option of royal territory."
"If it were directly managed, London would regard Newfoundland as part of its territory, and there might be some political problems. If it were a dominion or a royal territory, the problem would be much smaller. I would still prefer it over the dominions and royal territories. the latter."
Speaking of this, Alan Wilson looked at his fiancée, Pamela Mountbatten nodded knowingly and said, "If it is merged into the UK, the laws will be the same as those on the mainland. The same regulations will still be invisible to many families. "
"But without local support, will there be problems in development?" Prince Philip frowned. He couldn't always make a living by fishing. This is a seasonal job and cannot be done all year round.
"Dear Prince, the most difficult time for this matter will be the next few years. In fact, Newfoundland's development will be better every day." Alan Wilson chuckled. You must know that the tax haven in the hands of Britain in the 21st century is not a tax haven. Two, even the Isle of Man can actually be considered a tax haven.
The per capita income of the Crown Territory of the Isle of Man is about one-fifth higher than that of the British mainland. This is despite the fact that the Isle of Man itself has few resources, but this is not the case in Newfoundland. Fishing grounds, forestry, let alone once an oil field is found.
It has one of the largest fishing grounds in the world, the bonus of a tax haven, and fairly rich forestry resources, plus oil. As far as the population of Newfoundland is concerned, Saudi Arabia will only have fun in the future.
The per capita income of Qatar is not difficult for Newfoundland. Alan Wilson thinks that with so many conditions and bonuses, why is Newfoundland not twice as rich per capita as Canada and the United States?
At that time, it will be completely the concept of Macau people looking at people from other places! When you are in an outstanding position, will you listen to the criticism of places that are poorer than you?
When the United States says that Newfoundland will be richer if it becomes independent, Newfoundland will not be able to smile on the outside looking at a bunch of poor Southerners?
As for how to operate, after getting the assurance from the Crown Prince and his wife and the love brain, Alan Wilson began to explain the operation, and the Anglican leaders of the British Empire nodded frequently.
"And it can be clearly seen that whether it is the Labor Party or the Conservative Party, Attlee or Churchill, how do they have any influence on their subjects in many places?" Alan Wilson mentioned the issue of influence, "The local Labor Party Can you command the Australian Labor Party? Can Churchill express his opinions on the Canadian Conservative Party? No, but the distinguished Crown Prince and his wife, you have such influence. Although you cannot interfere with the policies of these places, you can achieve your goals through other means. , which is something local political parties cannot do.”
"The citizens of Newfoundland also respect the arrival of the Crown Prince and his wife, but if it were Prime Minister Churchill or Prime Minister Attlee, there would never be such a grand welcome as today."
"Ellen, Pamela has always said that you are busy in Newfoundland. Now it seems that this idea is very exciting." Crown Prince Elizabeth nodded in approval, "If Newfoundland can become a royal territory, I promise to reduce London as much as possible." interference."
"I believe the citizens of Newfoundland will be excited about this." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile.
There are things that the Crown Prince and his wife do that have huge symbolic significance, and Alan Wilson cannot do these jobs.
For example, Crown Prince Elizabeth arrived in Newfoundland and expressed her grief and gratitude for Newfoundland's sacrifice in defending Britain during the two world wars. Alan Wilson was unable to do this, and even Attlee did not make much sense.
However, the royal family came forward to express such an attitude, which moved the citizens of Newfoundland. Crown Prince Elizabeth also suggested that the Chief Executive of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson, carry out repair work on the cemetery.
"Pamela, have you seen the large posters on the streets of St. John's? They are so beautiful. My intuition tells me that your fiancé has a relationship with these women." Princess Margaret quietly said to Pamela Mon Patton elaborates on his new discoveries in Newfoundland.
"Margaret, don't think too much!" Pamela Mountbatten took Princess Margaret's hand and reminded her in a low voice, "What an important occasion, let's talk about these things in private."
Crown Prince Elizabeth's public speech this time was very effective. She also mentioned several issues raised by Alan Wilson. She said that in the next trip, she would talk to her neighbors in Newfoundland about the issue of cross-border fishing. She hoped that Get a response.
Crown Prince Elizabeth already knew yesterday about Alan Wilson's operation to catch the thief. Now that he knew the effect of this operation, he naturally sealed the conclusion directly and hinted that he already knew about the theft by Canadian and American fishermen. It was absolutely impossible to say it explicitly, but it was okay to imply it.
The announcement of the heir to the British Empire caused a burst of cheers. Just after arriving in Newfoundland, Crown Prince Elizabeth conquered the hearts of Newfoundland citizens.
