Chapter 526: Rage Against Britain

"Hey, don't talk like that. You are the hope of all the nobles." Alan Wilson gestured to Charles Brooke with the hand holding the wine glass, "Pamela and I are an unmarried couple. It was a coincidence before. When you go to diplomacy I happened to be there when the department was at work, so I helped out."

Pamela Mountbatten is now undoubtedly the hope of the whole village. During the war, Churchill raised the British inheritance tax to 98%, which is not bad, and left 2%.

This shows how much difficulty Alan Wilson solved for the British aristocracy by putting the brakes on Newfoundland. Now that Pamela Mountbatten is going abroad with investments from the aristocracy, there may be some who do not support it, but Alan Wilson has not seen it.

Alan Wilson represented the civil servants in Whitehall, and Pamela Mountbatten represented the British aristocracy. They performed a standard combination of interests in front of Charles Brooke who came from afar.

Let the king, who turned the kingdom of Sarawak into cash, see the power of a husband-and-wife team.

Regarding the next thing, that is, the issue of the throne of the Kingdom of Sarawak, this matter still deserves careful discussion.

Pamela Mountbatten also wanted to let her fiancé give her advice on this point, but when the two of them chatted privately, they were always interrupted by colleagues from Whitehall and unknown nobles, and the two could only smile.

"Heir to the Earl of Cardigan!" After the other party turned and left, Pamela Mountbatten introduced the identity of the noble who came to say hello for the seventh time. In response to her, Alan Wilson gave a long yawn.

It’s not that I was dissatisfied. After all, five colleagues from Whitehall came. After waiting for a while, I finally had a moment of silence. “What do you think about the Kingdom of Sarawak?”

"Let Charles Brooke pass the throne to me." Pamela Mountbatten tilted her head and asked, "What do you think?"

"Can we do this? But I did think of the Eastern custom called abdication." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "Under the current threat of high inheritance taxes, in fact, the situation of the aristocracy and our civil service system are very different. Pretty much. Our livelihoods are all in overseas territories, and I believe you don’t want the bankruptcy wave of nobles after World War I to repeat itself. In fact, we can abandon the sectarian mentality, and as long as they are nobles, even Irish people can be absorbed."

Although Ireland is already a republic, it recognizes its original aristocratic status, as is the common situation in Europe. The same is true for France and Germany. From a class perspective, these are credible people.

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson remembered, isn't Earl Cardigan the protagonist in the 21st century who couldn't afford the inheritance tax and ended up selling the family castle?

Thinking of this, Alan Wilson also glanced at the heir to the Earl of Cardigan who had just gone elsewhere. They didn't match in age, so his son probably happened to be the bankrupt Earl of Cardigan.

"I think even if the contract with Charles Brooke to inherit the throne is successful, it should not be announced for the time being. We look for experience from history and can first set up a company to operate the local area. What do you think?" Alan Wilson said this Waiting for Pamela Mountbatten to take a stand.

"I will listen to you." Pamela Mountbatten looked attached. She knew that her fiancé had always made long-term plans and the success rate was guaranteed.

It is also a tradition for the British to set up companies to run colonies. The East India Company is just more famous in Asia. Also includes, but is not limited to, the Massachusetts Bay Company operating in the United States, the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada, and the Rhodes Company in Africa.

Some of these companies still exist today, such as the Hudson's Bay Company. After the establishment of Canada, with the loss of its territory and fur trade monopoly, the Hudson's Bay Company entered the commodity market and began to continue to develop diversified businesses, such as continuing Invest in energy and infrastructure.

The company's most successful business today is retail, and it can even be called Canada's most famous local department store. The rise of this business is also based on the trading stations the company established across Canada.

As a result, the Hudson's Bay Store, which sold daily necessities to new immigrants across Western Canada, has gradually become a store that can be seen everywhere now, and its success in the field of clothing retail can be regarded as living up to its roots.

Alan Wilson felt that since Pamela Mountbatten only wanted a throne, there was no need to treat the local area as a raw material supply place and try running it as a company first.

If this method doesn't work, then try the abdication in Eastern culture and let Charles Brooke give the kingdom to Pamela Mountbatten. Anyway, the colonial policies of Britain and France are different. France could educate a group of Africans that our ancestors were glorious Gauls.

The British colonial policy was exactly the opposite. It was to recognize various local cultures and handle it personally. This might be the last concession in human history. Alan Wilson had no problem. He had to try everything.

"I suddenly remembered something. I heard that Mr. Churchill's expenses after he stopped being Prime Minister were also very huge. Is his family fortune very rich?" Alan Wilson took two glasses of wine from the waiter's tray and pulled him. Pamela Mountbatten sat aside and asked what was going on.

"Churchill himself lived a very luxurious life." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a while and said, "But his family is not that rich, he is not the eldest son, and he does not have any title. However, based on his achievements in World War II, He might be canonized. But I heard that he is writing a book and using royalties as living expenses."

"A lousy writer of novels!" Alan Wilson snorted twice and said with a look of disdain, "Of course, he was the leader of the British Empire in the World War, and he was shameless for a little royalties. I didn't know he Did it say in the book that during World War I, two battleships pushed the Ottoman Empire towards the Allies, resulting in the Russian Empire being completely surrounded and the birth of the Soviet Union?"

"What can you do?" After hearing Alan Wilson's words, Pamela Mountbatten's heart moved. Churchill set a 98% inheritance tax. This is simply confiscating the property of the nobles. As for the nobles now? Not welcoming the former Prime Minister, that's the obvious thing.

"It's not that I have any solution, but what do you want to do? If you want to see the Churchill family go bankrupt, you have to sacrifice the writer class. Didn't he write memoirs? Find a way from the royalties." Allen Wilson lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is nothing to hesitate about. Those who kneel down and shake their fists will be offended if they are offended. Those who control the pen will not be spared at critical moments."

Churchill's career as a family member began when he became Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1920s. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Churchill made an appointment with Richard Hopkins, the then Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, and told him that I was not capable of paying The tax has been paid, is there any way to save it?

Since Churchill had previously worked as a journalist and published novels, Hopkins suggested that Your Excellency declare his "retirement" as a writer. In this way, the income can be declared as royalties, and royalties are capital gains and cannot be included in personal calculations. income, so you can perfectly evade taxes.

Before the war, Churchill became Prime Minister, and major publishing houses flocked to his book, which brought Churchill an income of 600,000 pounds that year.

While he was dealing with the raging war, he was also fighting a lawsuit with the tax department, insisting that royalties be classified as capital gains for retired writers.

"My dear, it seems you have a solution?" Pamela Mountbatten was no longer interested in the current reception and asked what the solution to this problem was.

"By carrying out copyright tax reform, he can kill the rich, feed the poor, and support the war against the aristocracy. We can do the same." Alan Wilson said lightly, "A writer with an annual income of 600,000 pounds? There is no one except him, right? We can do the same. Classify the royalties and establish the levels of royalties according to the current living standards of London citizens. The higher the level, the higher the tax rate. Writers with an annual income of more than half a million pounds will have to pay more taxes on their royalties. If you are willing, You can pay 98% tax, which is the same as inheritance tax.”

"Is this still possible?" Pamela Mountbatten's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but kiss her fiancé and said, "My dear, you really have a way."

"No matter what method, this method of harming others and not benefiting oneself is not difficult." Alan Wilson put his finger on his lips and whispered, "Please keep it secret, he still has many supporters, and what's more, if he If you win the election, this matter will not be done. First of all, we need to know how many best-selling authors there are and how strong the rebound will be. This is beyond your ability. I will go to Whitehall to find out."

While paying attention to the election process, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was certainly not idle. As a professional person, Alan Wilson had been firmly cheering for Hong Kong during the crisis in the Far East, saying that there was no danger of Hong Kong falling.

Although during the Battle of Guangzhou, there were 100,000 people crossing the border in one day, and even when the local people in Xiangjiang asked whether to close the border, Alan Wilson firmly replied that it was not necessary to close the border and just send the people to Kalimantan.

Two months have passed since the Battle of Guangzhou, and the crisis in the Far East has been lifted. Although the general election is a major event in the UK, Alan Wilson was still sending electricity to the Far East in the past few days to convey the message of Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin. Meaning, on January 6, the UK recognized China’s regime change.

Now Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building to meet with the Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, disturbing the Foreign Secretary who was in poor health and insisted on running for office. The document was an attack on the United Kingdom, and the British Chinese talents Lesser, direct translation by Alan Wilson.

"I feel ashamed of Britain for betraying its country's soul for petty profits. One day, Britain will have to pay the price of blood, sweat and tears on the battlefield for freedom. It is morally wrong. It can never be politically correct."
