Chapter 868 The Lord of Egypt’s Resurgence
Two more big burdens have been thrown away. In this way, the aircraft carriers in the future combat sequence in ten years will include two to three new aircraft carriers, two Queen-class, two Eagle-class and four Centaur-class, as well as those that have not yet been sold off. aircraft carrier.
Even if naval construction is stopped, it can still serve until the 1980s, and there will be no need to worry about the collapse of the Royal Navy in a short time.
This premise is of course based on the smooth start of construction of the new aircraft carrier, but it should not be a big problem. They have received money from Australia. Do they still expect the UK to spit out this money? As for underwater power, aircraft carriers may be sold, but nuclear submarines will never be sold. The collapse crisis of the Royal Navy has been basically eliminated, if not completely eliminated.
"See, I'm giving you pleasure." Ingrid Bergman had a look of blame on her face. She was a little hurt from being hit by the man just now, but she still didn't show it. She seemed to be happy for Alan Wilson.
"I'm going to get a bottle of wine to celebrate." Alan Wilson jumped off the bed and said happily as he walked.
Ingrid Bergman was covering her chest with her hands at this time. Hedy Lamarr glanced sideways, "What? Are you so scared that you don't dare to speak out now? How does this look like a first lady?"
"He didn't mean it." Ingrid Bergman breathed a sigh of relief and said considerately, "What a dynamic man. He is also very kind to us. What else should I be dissatisfied with?"
Hedy Lamarr seemed to have seen a new world and said in disbelief, "In the past two years, I have discovered that you are becoming more and more attached to him. You were not like this before."
Ingrid Bergman looked at the door of the bedroom, and could only hear the sound of rummaging through the cabinets, and then whispered, "Heidi, I am already forty years old, you are one year older than me, and our appearance is still very good. , if you think about it, there are still many people flocking to us, just like before. But if we say that our bodies are still the same as before and we don't feel tired, I believe you will think it is a lie."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Hedy Lamarr looked at her blankly, not knowing what Ingrid Bergman meant.
"I mean, every year that passes, I feel lucky to have met him." Ingrid Bergman said solemnly, "This kind of life is not bad. I have two daughters and you have a son. If you don't have If you are satisfied, look at Pauline. Like us, she has few suitors. But in recent years, she has not been able to find a good job. Major companies have long thought that she has expired. The most important thing is that she has not My child, she always feels lonely, and it’s not like you haven’t heard similar complaints when she came to Paris.”
"She did say several times that she likes children very much." Hedy Lamarr opened her mouth, finally gave up her objection, and then stopped talking.
If many older women cannot be touched without husbands and children, then Pauline Godard is an actress on the same level as them. When her glory is gone, her career hits a wall, she has no man to rely on, and no children to accompany her.
Such a state could no longer be ignored by Ingrid Bergman. This time she came to the Malayan Colony, she took the initiative to come over just to see this man.
"He really has nothing to say about women. If he has any shortcomings, he is like the sun to beautiful women." Hedy Lamarr was a little annoyed. "If I were only twenty years old, I would definitely discipline him well. "
Ingrid Bergman put her head aside and listened to these words casually. No woman is always twenty, but there are always twenty-year-old women. In her opinion, Hedy Lamarr is just a tough talker.
"At this moment, you must find a bottle of French red wine." Before anyone arrived, Alan Wilson's voice had already arrived, holding red wine and a goblet and breaking in with a gentle smile, "Now I want to celebrate these two ladies who have the same status as my wife."
"You should really celebrate." Ingrid Bergman got out of bed and took the cup from Alan Wilson's hand with a smile.
"It's so flattering, as I've recently discovered,
My own charm is getting bigger and bigger. "Alan Wilson handed the glass over narcissistically, while he opened the red wine with a corkscrew.
A man and two women were just sitting on the bed, changing glasses and celebrating something that seemed to have nothing to do with them.
"Actually, France still has a lot to praise. At least there is one goal that they are willing to work hard for. The bad thing is that the French have too many goals, so they always have coups." Alan Wilson, fueled by alcohol, started again He spoke wildly, "and he also thinks highly of himself and is a bit arrogant."
"Agree!" Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman looked at each other and expressed their tacit approval.
It was soon to be 1956, and Alan Wilson was always a little unsure about the year when the Suez Canal War broke out. Reason told him that Nasser didn't even know where he was, and the whole of Egypt was paying attention to the Aswan Dam. Within the construction period, there will be no problems with that golden waterway that is vital to Britain.
But Alan Wilson always had no bottom, and he couldn't extricate himself from the mentality of worrying about gains and losses. If it weren't for the great encouragement from ladies of the same status as his wife, he might have been even more anxious.
"It's obvious that they are older and want to find a stable support." After hearing Alan Wilson express that several movie queens are considerate, Anna curled her lips and said, "I just don't want to lie to you, otherwise with my many years of studying psychology, It’s not easy to fool you around.”
"Oh, really?" He stretched out his hand and rubbed the little dragoon's plumpness, and Alan Wilson began to make shameless teasing, "But having said that, if the basic education in the Soviet Union is so strong, it is really a troublesome thing, and it is for us Trouble is also trouble for you."
Anna asked in confusion, "Where do you start talking about this? Is it wrong to educate an ignorant person well?"
"If a person knows everything but cannot change the status quo, it is easy to become dissatisfied with society." Alan Wilson whispered with a smile, "They have the power of ignorance. If they don't know anything, they will not be dissatisfied with society. Every day Isn’t it good to eat and sleep after eating?”
Alan Wilson is still quite doting on the little dragoon, for no particular reason. He is young and has a child, and the most important thing is that he feels that Anna is not lying when she claims to have studied psychology.
Anyway, he couldn't hide his thoughts from the other party. After getting back together, Anna never mentioned any political matters to avoid remembering the unpleasant memories of the two.
The only difficulty now is that Alan Wilson doesn't know how to arrange things before and after Christmas. Arrange work like he did before, and then subconsciously avoid company?
"That's not good. You ladies who have the same status as their wives are easy to handle except Hepburn." Ana analyzed from a man's perspective, "They are all about forty years old. Thirty years old feels like It's okay that I'm not old, and I can't still have that mentality now. It's all a profession anyway, and I think they both know each other's existence, so why not live together. I'll forget it, but leave the two days before and after to me."
"I'd better arrange work to stagger the time and spend time with each other." Alan Wilson said it was a lie to say that he was not moved, but he still gave up on the last step. He had always said before that it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and he would be careful at critical moments. That's great.
At the end of 1955, Alan Wilson convened another meeting of overseas commissioners. Commissioners from the major colonies and protectorates came to Kuala Lumpur again, just like the last time, with the exception of their old bosses in the Persian Gulf.
Before these colleagues arrived, Alan Wilson first started with the year-end summary of the Malayan colony, and by the way appointed the new Christmas Island Commissioner, a position that everyone respected.
The main reason is that Christmas Island is too lonely. This small island under the original jurisdiction of the Straits Settlements is located in the southern waters of Java Island, closer to Australia.
In fact, before and after the independence of the original historical colony of Malaya, Australia asked the United Kingdom for sovereignty over the island out of fear of Indonesia, and the United Kingdom took advantage of the situation and gave Christmas Island to Australia.
Among those who came from Egypt was Farouk I's special envoy Yi Said, because the gap in construction materials for Egypt's construction of the Aswan Dam was provided by Malaya. This time Yi Said came over to see what was going on here.
Of course, Alan Wilson attached great importance to the fact that the two places where Britain had long supported its empire were not white dominions such as Canada, but British India and Egypt, which were racially and culturally incompatible.
The former can be replaced. Now the Malayan colony is good, but how can Egypt replace it? There is no way around it.
Because of Isaide's arrival, Alan Wilson took out precious time, instead of accompanying a lady of the same status as his wife for a parallel jog, and came over to visit with a bearded man.
"Commissioner Wilson, the appearance of Malaya has exceeded our expectations." Isaid was greatly surprised. Egypt itself is the center of the Arab world. Other Arab countries are not as good as Egypt, but now the intuitive feeling is worse than Malaya.
If it's the same, haven't I worked all these years in vain? City construction has not yet begun.
With this in mind, Alan Wilson still said modestly, "You're welcome, Mr. Isaid, I believe that after the construction of the Aswan Dam is completed, Egypt will soar into the sky. Of course, a stable social environment is the foundation of everything. "
In fact, what the two places pursue are almost the same, namely infrastructure construction, educational support and autonomous power. Egypt wanted these things, Malaya wanted these things now, and British India wanted these things in the past.
Alan Wilson cannot provide autonomous power, but he can provide infrastructure construction and educational support.
However, King Farouk I's ability to send a special envoy was beyond his expectation. Did he lie for so long that he believed the lie? Do you really think he is Ali Pasha, the renaissance master of Egypt?
