Chapter 456 The Referendum Begins

At times like this, not adding to trouble is helping. There is no doubt that Alan Wilson's silence on most comments criticizing Smallwood is helping Smallwood.

Serving as an official brings benefits to one party. No matter what the outcome of the final referendum in Newfoundland is, Alan Wilson still has to do what he should do. To influence people's subconscious, it is not necessary to say something. In fact, it is okay to do something. But it is indeed more difficult than giving a speech.

Just pretend you don’t know that now that the independence and independence factions are blaming each other, Alan Wilson has officially formed three departments. The Newfoundland Forestry Consortium, the Newfoundland Fisheries Service, and the Newfoundland Business Office.

As you can tell from the name, this is an agency corresponding to forestry, fisheries and tax havens. In the Newfoundland Parliament House, Alan Wilson did not mention a word about the referendum, at least not until the three departments were established.

As the chief executive who always aligns with the Prime Minister, Alan Wilson shamelessly linked the responsibilities of the three departments to the three-ring diplomacy supported by Prime Minister Attlee.

To put it bluntly, this is the troika of Newfoundland's economy and the cornerstone of the entire economic development. There is no doubt that the location of the Newfoundland Business Office is the most important.

"Newfoundland's unique position will make it the brain of the Commonwealth." Alan Wilson actually wanted to say that it would become the office of the Commonwealth, but when I thought about it, it seemed that this was not a good word.

In later generations, India became a location for outsourcing of software and service industries because of its large English-speaking population. India has been claiming to be the world's office for some time. Of course, everyone understands that there are definitely fewer people working in offices than workers in this society.

When considering India's massive population, the increase in employment and huge population brought to India by software and service outsourcing are not worth mentioning. In the end, Indians did not mention it much.

"In fact, as far as the population of Newfoundland is concerned, doing two industries is enough to maintain a high quality of life. And I don't know if the distinguished committee members know about the tulip bubble. Although this is a happy trouble, we must Remember, a healthy society can only be a society that maintains the quality of diligence and thrift.”

"The government led by Prime Minister Attlee is to combine the advantages of socialism and capitalism. It will ensure the basic security of all citizens and build a prosperous society on this basis. Therefore, although logging is tiring and fishing is hard, New York Finland cannot give up, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that the tulip bubble will not appear if the whole population speculates."

Alan Wilson acted very sincerely, and he was actually very sincere. Why was this the first place where he was allowed to practice? If he didn’t leave some beneficial legacy, I would be sorry for this experience.

“We all have seen the work of Governor Allen, and the changes in the past six months.

I believe every Newfoundland citizen sees it! "

In the face of Alan Wilson's deceptive performance, the vast majority of Newfoundland committee members expressed their gratitude. In fact, before the referendum began, Alan Wilson did not need to explain to these committee members at all. He could just sign an executive order. He established these three departments, but he did not do so, and he was not preparing to make a profit before leaving. British India was British India, and Newfoundland was Newfoundland. The two are not the same.

Although Alan Wilson did not verbally express his position on the result of the referendum, what he is doing now is to strengthen the status quo of Newfoundland and maintain the current development trend.

The waiting process was accompanied by quarrels among the different ideas of Newfoundland citizens who had the sacred vote. Alan Wilson turned a deaf ear to this, but maintained his old habit of being in Newfoundland and paying attention to the world.

Currently, two major events around the world are related to Britain, the Indo-Pak war and the Palestine-Israel war. The trend of the Indo-Pak war is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Pakistan. The most important thing is that Ali Jinnah died of illness and was in Srinagar. At the last moment of the struggle, the founding father of Pakistan left the country he had founded, and the Governor of the Dominion had been replaced by the Bengali Khawaja Nazimuddin.

Another thing is that the Arab-Israeli war has rekindled. Once again, the question of whether Israel should exist or not is being fought fiercely in the West Bank. The number of soldiers on both sides has expanded several times, pushing the cruelty of the war to another level. steps.

What has happened so far is not worthy of too much attention. Israel has the upper hand and defeated the Iraqi-Jordanian coalition forces in the West Bank, which were the greatest threat to Israel and the largest number.

But then the Iraqi and Jordanian coalition forces came back, and the threats from Syria in the north and Egypt in the south still existed. Although they occupied some disputed land, they did not change the trend of the war.

Israel has occupied more land, won more battles, and killed more Arab militants. However, the fight could no longer go on. In this case, the United Nations General Assembly ordered both sides to cease fire. At the same time, a US military unit in Greece, together with some Greek and Turkish soldiers, were directly transformed into peacekeeping forces, demanding a ceasefire from both sides.

"The United States has no intention of changing the status quo. It just believes that the war between the two sides has caused the birth of large-scale refugees and led to a humanitarian disaster." Alan Wilson held the telegram and read it strangely.

He seemed to remember that decades later, Gaza had become a large prison and relied entirely on donations from around the world to survive. The United States also turned a blind eye to this obvious humanitarian disaster. Why is it paying so much attention to humanitarian disasters now?

The meaning of this statement is actually very simple. Although the United States is indeed biased, it is still unwilling to offend the Arabs on the surface.

It happened that Newfoundland's son-in-law Su Yang was also there, and came over to talk about the progress of the logging area this month, "Master, are Americans so reasonable?"

"To be honest, it's not necessarily true. It's true that Arabs are not easy to mess with. It's mainly a matter of resources. In fact, it's similar to the problem of your now-defunct Qing Dynasty." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "That dynasty of yours was the most troublesome. What we are afraid of is a complete entity with a huge population, and none of our European countries have experience in dealing with such a country."

"That dynasty? Is it worthy of your attention?" Su Yang was shocked and asked in disbelief.

"Su Yang, you should know more about how the UK does things around the world. I don't want to say who was right or wrong in the past wars, but you are not the only country that fell in the hands of the UK. More than a hundred years ago , most of North America is called New France." Alan Wilson swore that he definitely did not intentionally insult the law, but he could only use the most intuitive example to illustrate this issue.

During the Seven Years' War, New France in North America and French India in South Asia were snatched from France alone. Together they were almost as big as China.

"The problem of the Arabs is the same. Americans know that the Arabs are not strong now, but even if they are not strong, they dare not offend this nation. When the number reaches a certain level, it can also be converted into a deterrent force. The population of your country will make At that time, the European empires thought it was impossible to solve it. Both us and the French only dared to use their brains. Britain did not have colonies with similar populations, such as British India, but the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty was too stable. We looked for Without the help of allies like Hyderabad, we have never found a place to bite.”

He didn't want to talk too much about this issue. Countries are different from countries, and civilizations are different from civilizations. China's history will not see the expansion of the colonial model, but Europe can.

Each civilization has its own characteristics. If it were replaced by the Chinese atmosphere, would the thirteen states in North America still want to be independent? Unless these rebels want to counterattack the mainland and succeed, otherwise, if it were replaced by China, especially the Qing Dynasty, it would just be a repeat of Zhungeer.

Europe is not China, and the characteristics of the two civilizations are different. Alan Wilson is unwilling to talk more about this issue.

Let’s talk about something lighter. For example, after these Chinese workers returned to Malaya, did they have any ideas?

"Master Zhongtang, it seems to be snowing." The two were chatting, and Su Yang suddenly pointed out the window and said.

Alan Wilson stood up calmly, with a strange expression on his face. It seemed that he had to give God a face. What should he take with him? whisky?

The snowfall comes at the perfect time, as the referendum is getting closer. The snowfall has stopped in St. John's, but the situation in other settlements is not so simple.

On November 1, the Israeli-Palestinian war was forcibly stopped by the arriving peacekeepers. Arab countries protested. The Indian army entered the capital of Kashmir. While Pakistan was still mourning the death of its founding father, a referendum to determine the future of Newfoundland began.

The result of the referendum is based on a simple majority. If more than 50% of the supporters of a plan exceed 50%, it automatically becomes the final result.

If none of the three candidate proposals reaches 50%, a second round of referendum will be held, and the proposal with the fewest supporters in the first round of referendum will be withdrawn, and the top two proposals will be retained.

This referendum involves all citizens of Newfoundland, and there are a total of seventy-seven voting locations in Labrador. The voting locations are guarded by the Ustasha led by Savejevich.

Although it may not be possible for all citizens to find it, given the objective conditions, one cannot expect too much.

St. John's, the members of the Newfoundland Council came out in full force to call on the honorable citizens of Newfoundland to support their claims and use their powers with caution.

"Hiss..." Alan Wilson, who was standing by the window, blew out white smoke and suddenly coughed a few times. The smoke was a bit harsh on his throat today.

One after another people walked out of the house and headed to the referendum location, and the same was true for Smallwood. In this short period of time, he had been abused no less than ten times, and he supported the merger of Canada's voting locations. nobody.

Alan Wilson did this entirely out of consideration for efficiency, and it was definitely not a moral kidnapping. The recent snowy weather has been quite cold, and early results would be a good thing for everyone, so the secret ballot was abandoned.
