Chapter 840 Economic and Trade Changes Into Arms Sales

Latest website: The uranium mine was discovered in the Northern Territory of Australia, which covers an area of ​​less than 1.5 million square kilometers. The entire Northern Territory has a permanent population of less than 100,000. The most important port and city is Darwin.

Although Australia is vast and sparsely populated, the Northern Territory has clearly reached another level. Whether the local population is larger than the number of resident crocodiles is a question.

With such a sparse population, the Northern Territory is a federal territory of the Australian government. Alan Wilson cannot talk to a local governor, he can only talk to Canberra, unlike in Western Australia, where he can just talk to Governor Ross McLarty.

Perth's local newspapers and radio stations paid a lot of attention to the news of Princess Margaret's arrival in Perth. There is no doubt that Princess Margaret's royal princess status and unique temperament attract the attention of Perth people.

Many residents of Perth were British citizens just a few years ago. They came here with the dream of finding a relaxing place to live, and they still regard themselves as British.

The image of Princess Margaret is played on the TV, and her charming style is very eye-catching.

Facing the TV, Alan Wilson was having a verbal dispute with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and one hand had occupied the high ground. Blasphemy against Her Royal Highness, who is popular in Perth.

After a long time, the two of them were breathing heavily before they separated. On the screen, Princess Margaret was saying something like she liked Perth very much.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is so popular in Australia." Even if his hands didn't stop for a moment, Alan Wilson didn't forget to point out the princess on the screen.

"You bad thing." Princess Margaret looked at the man tenderly, "If people know that you treat me like this, you will be finished, and your life will be extremely dark."

"So? Will Her Royal Highness let this happen?" Pulling Her Royal Highness into his arms, and looking at each other at close range, Alan Wilson's question seemed a bit aggressive.

"Of course... no, no!" Princess Margaret stammered a satisfactory answer.

"Very good, this is a fascinating reaction." Alan Wilson was very happy. He felt that there might be a breakthrough this year, although in the UK he did not dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But in this free world, it is not difficult to find a safe zone to fill the princess's emotional emptiness.

Judging from the princess’s reaction now,

She absolutely does not object to having her emotional emptiness filled, and is completely interested in having love and concubine.

Alan Wilson was satisfied that he had tested Her Royal Highness the Princess's bottom line. He was in a happy mood and felt that there was no reason why this trip to Australia should not be a complete success.

A few days later, the family of three, including Her Royal Highness the Princess, took a flight to Canberra, the capital of Australia.

On the Comet 1, looking through the window at the endless Gobi desert below, Australia is out of place with other places on the earth. Even judging from later satellite photos, the color is completely different.

It is almost like an alien land has been attached to the earth. Billions of years of wind and sun have made this land very different from other continents.

"The biggest advantage of this desolate land is that all the minerals are buried very shallow. God is still very kind to Australia." Alan Wilson finally understood why Trisolaris placed humans here.

"It's really strange. Australia seems to be the flattest continent." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head and said, "Even the mountains are very short."

"Perhaps many millions of years ago, the mountains in Australia were also very high. Maybe they were just shortened by the wind and sun." Alan Wilson answered his wife's question.

He remembered that the oldest rocks on the surface of the earth were in the Murchisand Mountains of Western Australia and were about four billion years old.

It wasn't until we reached the sky above Canberra that the earth turned khaki, and then a little green appeared. Needless to say, this is another decent place in Australia, the southeastern corner of Australia where Canberra is located.

After getting off Comet 1, the group went directly to find William Joseph Slim, the current Governor-General of Australia.

When it comes to issues in Malaya, you can also talk to the Marshal. Lieutenant General David Sconce, who is about to take office, was once a subordinate of Marshal Slim. For Marshal Slim, he is the one who comes. people.

At the same time, Marshal Slim also paid tribute to Her Royal Highness the Princess's visit. The uranium mine matter involves confidentiality. Although Marshal Slim is an important general in the British military, this matter should not be known to him.

It's just that on some issues, the Governor-General and the Australian Prime Minister still need to communicate. Marshal Slim thinks there is no problem. Since he came to Australia as Governor-General, there has been no friction in the relationship between Britain and Australia.

"Moreover, I also found that Australians attach great importance to security issues." Marshal Slim told his findings.

"That's easy." Alan Wilson was full of confidence. He was ready to start with the Bamboo Curtain threat and explain it from a security perspective to let Australia understand the importance of helping Britain stay in the British colony of Malaya.

It all depends on what Australia wants. Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that no matter what Australia wants, as long as it pays for it, there is nothing that Britain cannot sell, even nuclear bombs.

Don't forget that the UK is still using Australia's space center to test blue light missiles? Although short-range missiles have been successful, short-range missiles are not enough for Britain. Britain needs intercontinental missiles.

Even the original historical blue-light missiles are not enough because the UK cannot place missile silos on its own soil. In Australia, the original historical range is obviously not enough.

Because of the high requirements on range, although the blue-light missile project has received greater attention, the progress has not improved at all and is still under research.

The current Prime Minister of Australia is still Robert Gordon Menzies, the Prime Minister who has always admired the Queen.

Alan Wilson feels that this may be a benefit that the Queen has brought to Britain. Who doesn’t like a queen like Britain?

Although the queen doesn't come often, doesn't the princess come from time to time? Help maintain Australia's centripetal force towards Britain,

The next day, Alan Wilson pulled Princess Margaret, who looked similar to the Queen, and the business card arrived at the Prime Minister's Office. We are ready to have a good talk with Australia regarding military cooperation including but not limited to uranium mining.

A few years ago, Prime Minister Menzies did one thing, but failed, which was to legislate the activities of the Communist Party of Australia. Through this incident, we can understand what kind of political outlook this prime minister has.

Alan Wilson talks up the Bamboo Curtain threat while suggesting that close cooperation between Australia and Britain is vital to the free world.

"Many people here believe that Australia's special characteristics prevent us from ignoring the dangers Australia is in. Although Europe and many countries believe that the UK should choose between the Commonwealth and Europe. But so far, the UK has withstood this This kind of pressure." Alan Wilson, with a face full of national sentiments thicker than water, narrowed the relationship between the two parties in front of Menzies.

He absolutely did not lie. It has been ten years since the war. If other European countries could not see it at the beginning, no one can see today that Britain has become a colander of the European Community.

How were textiles from the Malayan colonies sold to the European market? Isn’t it the case that Britain, the gatekeeper of the European Community, has been let in? Although the United Kingdom increased the price again during this process and sold the products after raising the price, the price of textiles is still lower than that of Europe.

Britain's actions are much more despicable than the United States' actions to support Japan's textile industry. The United States is opening up its own market. Although the UK also opens its own market, it opens more markets to European Community countries, and part-time referees and goalkeepers.

France was the first to criticize it, but since the war, France has been fighting wars in various colonies, so it needed the support of Britain in order to unite the old imperialists, so it has been holding back.

There are only a few countries in Europe that can say no to the United Kingdom. Germany and Italy were defeated, and if France remained silent, there would be no opponents. The United Kingdom has been selling the same skin twice. Otherwise, how could it get out of the debt vortex so quickly?

France has more important things to do. If the European Community and the United Kingdom are not quarreling, the United Kingdom will concentrate on the Commonwealth and the European Communist Party flying together. Of course, the beneficiaries will also include Australia, which is also a member of the Commonwealth.

Since the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, Australia and the UK should have been replaced by the United States in their economic and trade relations. Transformed into another form, British investment in Australia was rising, and at the same time, part of the close economic and trade ties between Australia and the British mainland began to be replaced by the British colony of Malaya.

On the surface, it seems that the dependence between Britain and Australia is declining. In fact, it is just a change of approach, from a bilateral relationship to a tripartite relationship.

Since this relationship exists, Australia should certainly meet some of the UK's requirements.

Apparently Prime Minister Menzies thinks so too, because of the influx of British immigrants into Perth, coupled with the fact that he himself is a loyal supporter of the Queen, and the role of economic and trade relations, he agrees with Alan Wilson's views.

After a few years, Australia also realized the importance of British Malaya. Australia itself is not suitable for industrial development. Now Australia relies on British Malaya for the supply of many daily necessities.

"London believes that in the field of security cooperation, the United Kingdom and Australia still have a lot in common. To jointly maintain the prosperity of the Malayan colonies, both sides must strengthen cooperation." Alan Wilson said with a pro-Australian look, "Even France Even if people are dissatisfied, they must persevere.”

Menzies was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "We believe in the importance of Britain's security issues, and security has always been our core concern. I wonder if the Queen-class heavy aircraft carrier can be sold to us."

Alan Wilson was startled. The Queen-class heavy aircraft carrier is actually the current name of the Malta-class aircraft carrier.
