Chapter 444 The Advantage Is Mine
"I have the advantage!" This was Alan Wilson's intuitive thought, but he immediately felt unlucky, but he was still in a good mood. The more loved the crown prince and his wife are, the higher the chance of staying in Newfoundland. This is definitely true. of.
This role can definitely be replaced by Attlee or Churchill. What would Prime Minister Attlee say if he came to Newfoundland? Has the UK established a welfare society? Does it reflect the mood of bribery too obviously?
What if it were Churchill? Talk about the sacrifices Newfoundland made in both world wars? Crown Princess Elizabeth just said she would renovate public cemeteries! Not to mention the image of the two old men, Churchill, the famous troll in the House of Commons, looks like a bulldog.
How can the current great Prime Minister Attlee, whose forehead is brighter than a light bulb, be compared with the youthful and beautiful noble Crown Prince?
"Dear, I have a suggestion. The land in Newfoundland will definitely be very valuable in the future. It can even drive the nobles to buy land and inject capital into Newfoundland. In fact, I know very well that although our country's finances are not optimistic, it does not mean that Certain classes are very poor." On the streets of St. John's, Alan Wilson walked slowly with his fiancée, gesturing to citizens who greeted him from time to time.
The UK's economy has been ups and downs since the post-war period, but has it been the largest investor for decades? Where does the money come from? Just because the country has financial problems does not mean that the British have no money.
Pamela Mountbatten was silent, still listening to her fiancé's analysis, "The wood processing industry alone, based on the population of Newfoundland, can completely replace the profits of the fishing grounds. Don't be surprised, Newfoundland has not been developed much after all. , and doesn’t such a big island have minerals? No matter it is the United States or Canada, there is no shortage of minerals. Although Newfoundland cannot be compared with those two places, it is not lacking at all. "
"With such a small population, Newfoundland doesn't need to develop many industries. As long as it is controlled and destructive development is not carried out, the local residents can live leisurely for hundreds of years."
"I already owe a lot of money!" Pamela Mountbatten said pitifully. "I owe more than 120,000 pounds to 20 dukes and 46 earl families. The Hoxon Manor is If you have no money to start work, you can’t sell your hard-earned money in British India.”
"Why not? You can sell the gold, and besides, there are still dollars in the box?" Alan Wilson said that he has no problem, as long as his fiancée is happy, "In fact, in the final analysis, if there is no royal family, what else does the nobility have?" Is there any difference between this duke and that duke and the common people?"
"I know, you are one of ours." Pamela Mountbatten said in a low voice with a look of admiration, "What will happen next?"
"We can no longer chat on the street, go back first.
"Alan Wilson asked Pamela Mountbatten to hold his arm and perform a parallel horizontal movement. The cooperation was quite tacit.
The Crown Prince and his wife had other plans, but there were still military intelligence agents in the Governor's Palace. Princess Margaret made a very big discovery. When she was surprised, Alan Wilson had already pushed in the door and brought Pamela Mountbatten with him. After coming in to rest and closing the door, Margaret had not yet gone out to express her newfound achievements. Alan Wilson's voice had already sounded, "The next stage is of course to guide public opinion and promote the results we want."
"How to guide?" This already involves Pamela Mountbatten's knowledge blind spots, and she has no reserves in this area.
"Now imagine that you are a resident of Newfoundland, let me ask you a few questions." Alan Wilson took off his coat and saw that his fiancée was ready, and asked, "Do you want to hand over the ownership of the Newfoundland fishery?"
"Uh, of course not!" Pamela Mountbatten was stunned for a moment, and then gave her own answer.
"Do you hope that someone else will appoint an official to manage everything in Newfoundland?" Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow.
"Hope? Well, no, why can't the locals be allowed to manage themselves?" Pamela Mountbatten hesitated on this question, considering that Alan Wilson was now the local chief executive, but then thought that this was hers The fiancé, not someone else’s fiancé, changed his answer again.
Alan Wilson nodded again, and then asked the third question, "So should it merge with Canada?"
"Of course not!" After Pamela Mountbatten answered late, she fell into deep thought and said, "leading question."
"Of course, yes, now I will prepare three more questions." Alan Wilson coughed softly and said, "As we all know, our population in Newfoundland is not enough to protect such a rich fishing ground. Should we look for a transcendent position of protection? By?"
"It should be, yes." Pamela Mountbatten was obviously more serious this time.
"The respected Crown Prince and his wife, are you a trustworthy monarch?" Alan Wilson asked, tilting his head.
Seeing Pamela Mountbatten's straightforward answer, he directly asked the third question, "So should Newfoundland require the Royal Navy to maintain it as a royal territory?"
"You are so mean!" Pamela Mountbatten jumped up and hugged the man.
"Have you gained weight recently?" Alan Wilson asked with a smile as he kissed his fiancée on the cheek.
"Nonsense, not at all. No, you will get fat where you should be fat." Pamela Mountbatten was riding on Alan Wilson's waist, shaking constantly.
Princess Margaret, who was ignored, narrowed her eyes slightly, still holding a large bra in her hand, and decided to keep the evidence first, and then confront this hypocrite on a more appropriate occasion.
The war in the subcontinent has a tendency to expand, and the war in Palestine has been the most worrying thing for the United Nations recently. In the early stages of the war, the Arab countries were in a very favorable position, and the Israeli army was retreating steadily.
The Israeli generals exclaimed that the Israeli army was unable to withstand the attack of the Arab armies and that the entire army was on the verge of collapse.
Alan Wilson has re-contacted the Arab countries participating in the war through the Persian Gulf Commissioner, and agreed to the UN ceasefire resolution. It was a waste of the time that Britain had bought. It is not too late to launch a national mobilization. Otherwise, as time goes by, Israel will use the United States and The Soviet Union's support will become stronger and stronger.
"My old boss Sir Barron, do you know what the situation is like on the ground? The last time you incited anti-American and anti-Soviet public opinion in your telegram, it reminded me of the glorious days in British India. In fact, as long as the United States and The Soviet Union’s unabashed support for Israel is not a loss for Britain.”
Sir Barron, who was far away in Aden, received another greeting from Alan Wilson. He held his forehead and looked helpless. What about Alan Wilson just stretching his hand so long? He didn't know how to judge either.
The key is that this former assistant is already used to doing this. He will send a telegram when there is nothing wrong. It doesn't seem like it is related to his work.
Lord Barron has recently spread the news throughout the Arab world through the only remaining intact area of the British Empire, the hegemony of public opinion, that the United States and the Soviet Union are supporting Israel and putting pressure on Britain.
At present, Arab countries, including Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq, are all issuing mobilization orders. The King of Egypt, the King of Jordan and the Regent of Iraq have publicly called for the entire Arab world to form a coalition to drive the Israelis into the sea, because As a result of the pressure, British officer corps in various countries have evacuated.
However, a large amount of weapons and equipment was left behind. It can be said that on the surface, both sides are preparing for the second round of war.
"Actually, tell the Arab countries participating in the war that the United States is currently holding an election. This is an opportunity. If the United States comes to its senses after the US election, the Arab countries will only face more unfair treatment. Although Sir Alexander has always been for the Arab countries Strive for benefits, but it’s hard for two fists to defeat four hands.”
As things stand, Prime Minister Attlee has done his best, driven by the petro-sterling vision for the last part of the Persian Gulf region's protected areas in Alan Wilson's Colonial Assessment Report.
But it is clear that Britain has not yet recovered from World War II. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, and there is not much she can do. Attlee tried his best to stop the United States and the Soviet Union, but it was true that the national strength was unable to provide support.
It was interesting enough to be able to leave a large amount of British equipment in private and hand it over to the Arab coalition forces. Not much more could be expected, and the Mediterranean fleet also intercepted an arms shipment to Israel.
There were not many interceptions, but they were criticized by the United States. Of course, interception was not the purpose. The purpose was to show that they had tried their best in front of the Arabs. In fact, both the United States and the Soviet Union supported Israel, and there was nothing the United Kingdom could do. many.
The rest depends on the efforts of the Arabs themselves. It is a fact that Britain faces pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union when it comes to the Palestinian issue at the United Nations. Can’t the facts still be publicized?
"I don't know how many warships are out of service on the domestic slipway. If Egypt is willing to work hard, for coastal countries like Israel, it is best to use the navy to solve the problem." Alan Wilson took the telegram from his former boss Sir Barron and rushed Pamela Mountbatten said, "There should be no battleships left. What about heavy cruisers? The Kent-class heavy cruiser weighs more than 10,000 tons after all. It is enough to threaten Israel."
"It seems that some Israelis came to look for my mother. It was after the Mediterranean fleet intercepted the arms." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment and said, "Don't come up with such an idea and let it develop naturally. Otherwise, my mother will be sad. of."
"Okay, I was just joking." Alan Wilson said with a pity on his face. In fact, it didn't seem to have any big effect. He just hoped to give Egypt some things, so that he would not be afraid of wearing shoes when he was barefoot. I have no other thoughts about falling out with Britain in the future, absolutely not.
