Chapter 796 1st Sea Lord
Chapter 791 First Sea Lord
"After coaxing my daughter, it's time to coax me." Pamela Mountbatten pulled her husband up and threw herself directly into the man's arms. "Actually, I don't value much wealth, as long as you treat me well. "
Reaching out and patting his wife on the back, Alan Wilson comforted softly, "Wealth can help you reduce extra worries, so that the love between husband and wife can be more pure. God, how could I say such reasonable things?"
It was a warm and pleasant night, a warm and taboo-free night, one could travel around the world without leaving home, and Pamela Mountbatten responded with the same enthusiasm. At this point, Alan Wilson has no reason to argue. Especially when it comes to enthusiasm.
At this moment, Pamela Mountbatten needed to be with her husband so he could kiss her neck, bite her earlobes, and make her burn under his touch with that wicked allure.
She left her long hair open, a style that always fascinated her husband. The curls were spread over her shoulders and down her back, like waterfalls in the sunset.
Alan Wilson raised his hand and touched the curls. He stroked them gently, feeling the strands of hair flowing through his fingers. His wife's eyes were full of familiar enthusiasm, and Alan Wilson's breath warmed his wife's neck, letting her slender body wrap around him.
"I want to give you an heir." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in confusion while enduring the stormy waves.
This is the biggest wish of the current famous British strong woman. Ellen Wilson kissed her wife and whispered, "Let nature take its course."
This kind of thing can be done slowly, but obviously Pamela Mountbatten is very anxious. She wants a little man who stands upright.
Negotiations with the four major families will inevitably take up a long time for Pamela Mountbatten. She does not hesitate to ask her husband for advice on some areas where she is not sure. At all times, she trusts her husband.
"They will agree, they will!" Alan Wilson said firmly, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the mouse's son burrows in the ground.
The style of the Li family in Xiangjiang in later generations can actually be inferred from the style of British businessmen doing business in the Far East. The Li family must have formed such a profit-seeking style during the British rule.
Faced with such opponents, insisting on one's own opinions will surely convince them and achieve what one wants.
Although everyone is theoretically British, one nationality cannot mean anything when fighting for interests. In business, profiting more from the four major families is the fundamental reason for this contact.
With her husband's assertion, Pamela Mountbatten knew that she must capture these four local snakes who had been operating in the Far East for hundreds of years.
While his wife has something to do, Alan Wilson is also busy and continues his career as a time management guru. I wish I had forty-eight hours in a day,
The camera hanging around his neck shows how diligent and studious he is.
"If you lose your camera, men all over the world will kill you." Ingrid Bergman threatened with a pretentious ferocity.
"So what?" Alan Wilson sneered, with his nostrils turned upward, "What? Chaplin can just marry a 16-year-old female star when he sees one? Are you and I going to be killed? That old thing? I can live a good life, but I will be hunted by men all over the world? It makes no sense."
"Most of Chaplin's wives were not well-known when they married her." Hedy Lamar leaned on the bed with her body spread out, without a single strand of hair on her body. She glanced at the man with a charming smile and said, "It's not the same as your current behavior."
"There is always something to pursue in life." Alan Wilson defended himself with a playful smile, "I will not regret this choice."
"Whatever you want!" Ingrid Bergman snorted and did not dwell on this topic. The reality was already like this, and it would not work to talk about it. For this man, she had compromised to this point. Looking back on it seemed like a dream. Same.
"Actually, I'm more concerned about when you go back to Europe. It's always inconvenient for us. You might be discovered if you come here." Hedy Lamarr asked with a look of longing. Across the distance of half the world, it was still difficult for us. not very convenient.
"Whitehall also mentioned this issue in the previous telegram. At the end of my first term, I was going to return to the Foreign Office. But the achievements of the Malayan colony were too valued. London attaches great importance to the benefits provided by this colony. So I hope that I Use your second term to consolidate the achievements here." Alan Wilson did not hide anything and said directly, "Sir Norman asked me not to worry. All the achievements are seen by the cabinet and Whitehall."
Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman nodded at the same time. Of course, the two women were also concerned about this man's future development. A colonial administrative commissioner covering an area of 500,000 square kilometers is a God-like existence to the entire colony.
Who can remain indifferent to the many visible and invisible benefits? Even the two of them benefited from it.
"What do you think? Where can the development here catch up?" Ingrid Bergman was not interested in politics at first, but over time, she always got a little bit of the habits of men.
"Portugal!" Ellen Wilson originally wanted to say Japan, but after thinking about it, the two women had no idea about Japan. Let’s take a European country as a comparison.
"Portugal!" Hedy Lamarr said that she had been to that country on the Iberian Peninsula and found it to be quite good. "After all, it is a European country. Will it be difficult?"
"It takes time. But I believe that as long as there is time, it shouldn't be a problem." Alan Wilson admitted the difficulty, and then changed the subject, "Didn't I also spend a lot of time to get you to accept the status quo?"
The two of them rolled their eyes at the man, with a hint of provocation in their eyes. The two movie queens had the same idea, and they wanted to take advantage of this moment to teach this sanctimonious imperial commissioner a lesson.
"I want to challenge my weakness." Alan Wilson responded desperately, suddenly unaware of the danger coming.
In London, the capital of the United Kingdom, traces of previous elections have faded, the dust has settled, and people have returned to normal life. For most people, work is an integral part of life.
"Send this telegram to Cyprus." Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke called the Deputy Secretary of Defense to his office and took out a cabinet appointment letter, looking quite solemn.
This telegram, which was of great significance to Mountbatten's life, reached the Mediterranean Fleet headquarters directly through invisible radio waves.
It has never been a secret that Mountbatten wanted to be First Sea Lord. With Mountbatten's own character, he would not keep this secret from others.
In fact, leaders of both parties supported Mountbatten's ideals. Attlee also said, "I hope Mountbatten will become First Sea Lord." Not to mention Churchill, who wanted to immediately hand over the British Admiralty to Mountbatten.
However, the British political system, especially the appointment and dismissal procedures and regulations of the Royal Navy, made them powerless. Therefore, Mountbatten was first appointed commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet; a year later, he was promoted to official admiral. This paved the way for Mountbatten to obtain his ideal position step by step.
The British military is a place with a legacy of traditional nobility, and based on Mountbatten's relationship with the royal family, many people believe that it will be a matter of time before Mountbatten gets what he wants, but they don't know the exact date.
Now, after winning the general election, Labor Prime Minister Attlee decided to realize Mountbatten's wish as an appointment that satisfied both the royal family and the military nobles.
At the Mediterranean Fleet Headquarters, Admiral Mountbatten, who was bored, took the telegram from his staff and was ready to see if there was any trouble in London. But immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on Mountbatten's face, and the first sea The words of the Minister of State hit him accurately. This has been his dream for many years.
Admiral Mountbatten read this short telegram several times. He could not believe that his lifelong wish had come true.
The ecstatic Mountbatten stood up and walked around his office several times. Through the window, the already boring scenery here seemed to suddenly become colorful again.
It didn't take long for the entire command to know the good news. Fleet Commander Mountbatten had received an appointment from Prime Minister Attlee in London and was about to return to London as First Sea Lord, becoming the number one figure in the navy.
Mountbatten, whose dream came true, accepted the congratulations from his subordinates, threw himself into the celebration, and immediately informed his wife and two daughters of the news. At the same time, he was ready to return to London and descend on his loyal Admiralty Building.
What was once the office of First Sea Lord of his father, Prince Louis, will also become his office. After making the necessary preparations, Mountbatten boarded the military plane directly and returned to London.
"The General has been appointed as the First Sea Lord?" Listening to his wife's happy announcement, Alan Wilson was also very happy to celebrate. Does this mean that the Royal Navy's affairs will become a matter of course in the future? ?
"This has been my father's dream for many years, and now it has finally come true." Pamela Mountbatten jumped up and down like an underage girl, pulling her husband's arm in circles. "Dear, you know, father is waiting. How many years have I been waiting for this day?”
"I believe this is just the beginning." Alan Wilson replied like a magician. He remembered that Mountbatten was not only a giant in the navy, but eventually became the head of the British Army, Navy and Air Force.
It seemed that Mountbatten had left the Mediterranean Command and arrived in London immediately. This showed the urgency in his heart. After arriving in London, Mountbatten first went to No. 10 Downing Street.
