Chapter 651 Death of King George VI

With his wife's guarantee, Alan Wilson is naturally full of confidence, and it's hard to say whether he will be able to catch up with the beauty. Anyway, Japan’s steel production had already lagged behind the United States in the 1970s.

As for the difficulty of surpassing the United Kingdom, the upper limit of British steel production capacity is about 20 million tons. Otherwise, this slogan would not appear at all. It can be seen that setting British steel production as a target is not an impossible task.

As for the quality issue, it was imported into the colonies anyway. What big scenes did the major colonies in British Africa see? Solve the existing problems first, and then talk about quality issues. At this stage, any input is something that black people have never seen before. If it is available, it is good. What is the quality? He does not even care whether the real estate revitalization of the country will be successful or whether he wants love or not.

Anyway, as far as the colonies are concerned, Alan Wilson has his own understanding. Even if he feeds shit, he must make the local people eat it with a smile, and he cannot give the other party any chance to say no.

Alan Wilson's colleagues spent a pleasant year-end in Kuala Lumpur. Many colleagues said that the climate here is very good, and they even considered buying real estate at the right time and taking a vacation in their spare time.

For this kind of extravagant behavior, just wanting to prostitute Japanese street girls for free, Alan Wilson made a simple calculation. I don’t think it’s unacceptable. If Japan develops, wouldn’t there be South Korea too?

In ten years, Korea will still be in a state of being unable to hold up the wall. We can consider introducing a group of women to give Korean women a chance to earn foreign exchange. Maybe British Malaya can also cultivate Lotte like Japan did. One of his own chaebol agents reached into South Korea.

By then, if South Korea is no longer good, then there will be South Vietnam. As long as we set our goals low enough, nothing will be a problem.

"But Alan, there is one more thing this year. When you were in Sannibal, you asked us to find some athletes to represent the British Empire when the Olympic Games begin." He didn't know that the evidence of his parallel jogging had been known to Alan Wilson. John mentioned this year's Helsinki Olympics, "It's just that so far, this matter has not received Whitehall's approval. London has doubts and is afraid that the domestic people will be dissatisfied."

"What's the dissatisfaction?" Alan Wilson snorted, "I have the opportunity to communicate with Whitehall about this matter. The dissatisfaction can be easily resolved. Let's have a competition with the athletes you selected. Whoever wins will go. We Of course there is a reason for doing this, it is to give the colonies an opportunity. In a sense, if the British Empire includes all the current overseas territories, then the subjects of these territories cannot be excluded from participating in the Olympic Games. Otherwise? Are you traveling at public expense? "

If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, Britain, the so-called post-war Big Three, eclipsed everyone at the Helsinki Olympics with a superior result of over ten medals, one gold and two silvers. Let this Helsinki Olympics become a battleground between the United States and the Soviet Union.

How can this be done? Don’t muddy the waters on such an important occasion as the Olympics.

It is simply inconsistent with the historical traditions of the British Empire.

Anyway, the countries in East Africa that produced long-distance runners are now British colonies. The only place in West Africa that produces sprinters is Nigeria. However, considering that the Americas are still in poverty except North America, and the apartheid in the United States has not been lifted, after the Nigerian Commissioner The athletes selected by the Togolese commissioner should also have certain advantages.

"I guess the local athletes really regard this Olympics as a trip." The Rhodesian commissioner chuckled.

"That won't work. In fact, gentlemen all understand the distribution of overseas interests and local interests. We are not completely consistent. Sometimes we strive for certain interests for the colonies in order to maintain our own status. This is what Xiangjiang does. It’s very good, we have to save a hand at critical moments.”

Alan Wilson said with a free and easy tone, "If local athletes don't work hard enough, then we must also add some local sense of crisis. The current development of the UK from an island country to today is not in vain. It is the result of generations of citizens. The result of hard work. How many sports were invented by Britain, don’t you feel blushing when you go to the Olympics to go through the motions?”

When Alan Wilson thinks about it, he can think of all kinds of sports including but limited to football, cricket, basketball, badminton, table tennis, tennis, and so on.

Regarding this Helsinki Olympics, he is not without even a little preparation. Since last year, Alan Wilson has also been promoting the development of badminton in British Malaya.

In later generations, badminton was the most popular sport in Malaysia, and it naturally received full support from the central government and big companies. The Malaysian team has won many Thomas Cup championships. At this time, the whole country rejoices. The then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad declares a one-day national holiday. The champion players also join the rich class overnight and return home in fine clothes. Later, they are personally received by the Sultan at the palace.

Alan Wilson's words made the colonial commissioners all nod and ask when their hosts would discuss this matter with Whitehall.

"We will still need the support of our colleagues then!" Alan Wilson raised his glass and said to his colleagues, "I hope that in this Olympics, the British Empire can teach the United States and the Soviet Union a lesson that are determined to win."

In fact, judging from the athletes selected by the major colonies in British Africa, if Whitehall can approve the participation of colonial track and field athletes this time, Britain is likely to teach the United States a lesson.

Of course, this is not accurate. In this era, blacks are not the only ones who dominate the track and field field. Athletes from Eastern European countries who have gone through closed training camps are no worse than black track and field athletes.

Everything is stable now. First of all, the host country must issue an invitation, and the country concerned must recognize it and send a representative team to participate. If Helsinki invites places in the UK, such as Hong Kong, Hong Kong can form its own team to compete.

Colonies that are not invited can participate in the name of the British Empire, so there is a chance for reconciliation.

Half of the civil servants of the British Empire spent Christmas and New Year's Day in Kuala Lumpur before embarking on the journey back to their posts, and they all expressed their gratitude to British Malaya for their hospitality.

Alan Wilson might have been happier if two gentlemen had not taken away the accompanying Japanese woman. But when he thought that they had not used any coercive means and had taken the woman away with their personal charm, he had no right to object.

After all, the result of the world war is here. The current Japan is no longer in the state before the war that shouldered the hopes of the yellow race. The fact that Japan was occupied by the United States has made Japanese men accept the reality, let alone women.

"These women follow strange foreigners to a place they have never been before?" Princess Margaret asked incomprehensibly, "Isn't the risk too great?"

"So, the British mainland must not allow other countries to set up military bases." Alan Wilson glanced at Her Royal Highness the Princess and said, "Otherwise, this will be the end. In fact, Japan is a colony like Malaya now. What kind of power do colonies need? Not only is Japan like this, but Germany is also like this at this stage. Otherwise, why would the divorce rate in Britain be so high now, and why would they all go to Germany to get married?"

Regarding the devastating blow to the British women's rights movement in recent years, Alan Wilson thinks it's none of his business. Nor should the free world interfere. The European Community has been established, and it is reasonable for the UK to sacrifice its own women's calls for intervention in order to unite Europe.

Because it was the beginning of the year, Alan Wilson held rounds of meetings at the Administrative Office, involving various industrial plans for rubber, sugar, tin mining, and textiles. At the same time, a new Christmas Island Commissioner was appointed to go mining on Christmas Island.

Throughout January, Alan Wilson was busy planning the production work in British Malaya for the next year. The steel industry was of course the top priority. He has not forgotten the satellite he put up so quickly. He said ten million means ten million.

At almost the same time, Ali Khan was also in the Malay Peninsula to the west, getting to know and communicate with the sultans of West Malaysia. Currently, the first large-scale project in Sabah, the Grand Mosque predicted by Alan Wilson, has been launched. It can be said that the current situation in British Malaya is not a small good but a great good.

In terms of public opinion, major newspapers in British Malaya, whether in English, Chinese or Malay, reported on the previous meeting of the Imperial Commissioners and the plans for British Malaya in the New Year, emphasizing the support of the entire British Empire.

The new year has just begun, and public opinion has already started to stir up excitement. Alan Wilson looked at a familiar scene, as if it was the same at the beginning when British India promoted large-scale construction.

The more than 10 million citizens of British Malaya were already gearing up to prepare for a big fight in the New Year.

In February 1952, Prime Minister Attlee had just finished a cabinet meeting at No. 10 Downing Street. When he was alone, Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke hurried in and whispered to the Prime Minister in code. , "A corner of Hyde Park!"

Prime Minister Attlee stood up involuntarily and said with a shocked look on his face, "His Majesty died of illness?"

As the current British Prime Minister, apart from those close to George VI, Prime Minister Attlee was the first person to learn the secret code. Although Norman Brooke knew it before he did, he didn't know what the code meant. After all, when George VI ascended the throne, he was not yet Cabinet Secretary.

"Inform Morrison, inform Canada, Australia, New Zealand..." Prime Minister Attlee regained his composure and immediately asked Norman Brooke to inform the Foreign Secretary to inform all countries with the British King as their monarch, and then continued, "Inform Elizabeth immediately The Crown Prince and Princess Margaret are back.”
