Chapter 974 Cooperation Between Different Civilizations

Coincidentally, at least as the High Commissioner of the Malayan Colony, he had the obligation to arrange the daily life of the two of them.

After two sentences of communication, the two female CEOs gave him a chance to show his gentlemanly demeanor.

Even though they knew that this man would not treat them badly, the sight that greeted them after arriving in Malaya surprised them both.

What a beautiful room! Floor-to-ceiling windows extending into the hallway make the interior bright. Every furnishing, from the large and soft sofas, bright curtains, to the huge gold-framed oil paintings, looks magnificent and refreshing.

"Are you satisfied? Ladies, they are all European designs. I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to them. Some small unpleasantness, even if it's just an eyesore, may make a lady who is like a goddess descending to the mortal world unhappy. And that is simply the most unforgivable thing in the world. crime."

Alan Wilson, who followed them in, put his hand on their shoulders, looking deeply repentant.

In just a moment, Alan Wilson received enthusiastic responses from the two people. This occasion is just the right time to call you...

"It's worth it that we followed you all the way here." Hedy Lamar opened her red lips lightly and said words that you know how to understand.

Even when she is motionless, Hedy Lamarr still displays aggressive beauty. It is absolutely reasonable for Hollywood to always regard Hedy Lamarr as a vase. This popular actress really relies on her face to make a living.

Even in later generations, the photographer who took many classic photos of Hedy Lamarr admitted that it was almost impossible to expect Hedy Lamarr to show subtle expressions. She just sat there quietly and posed, which was enough to leave a lasting impression. A classic image handed down from generation to generation.

"Thank you ladies, you can't blame me. Why do so many people love me?" Alan Wilson said rather narcissistically, and then added, "But I am not the local chief executive now. Lots of time to spend with you.”

He never denied that he liked running around, but he simply didn't like flying because it lacked the down-to-earth feeling.

However, some difficulties can still be overcome, especially if you are accompanied by a woman of equal status to your wife.

For the two female presidents, coming to present awards is just a way of doing it, and it is not important to help Xia Meng. The key is this feeling of freedom. Especially when accompanied by a close man.

In addition to setting an example for other colonies, Alan Wilson also focused on the transaction of oil refining equipment adapted to the cold zone in a certain Far East region. Of course, it was only an advance transaction. No country buys a product in large quantities before it is put into trial operation. Alan Wilson is very happy to be able to make a deal and step on Japan.

At the same time, the so-called colonial elites from each colony, dressed in fancy clothes, followed the local commissioners and arrived one after another. In fact, coming to the Malayan colony would have a greater effect than going to London.

Not all urban construction in Malaya has been completed, but they are all newly built. Although London has been renovated after the war, old urban areas can still be seen everywhere, which is obviously not so shocking.

At least in terms of hardware facilities, the current Malayan colonies are more qualified than the British mainland as subjects to be studied.

Of course, this is limited to hardware. Strictly speaking, even in the 21st century, there is no non-European and American country that can come close to Europe and the United States in terms of living standards. Even Japan, which is at its peak, was evaluated by Americans who inspected it as having a rich country and a poor people. On the one hand, they live in an expensive small house, but on the other hand, they have to be careful about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The urban construction in Malaya is relatively far ahead of other Asian countries, because one of the standards is based on European and American standards.

There is a standard in urban planning, and that is the standard for the spacing between urban buildings. If it is too dense, it will look like Hong Kong in the future. The dense high-rise buildings will increase the sense of oppression out of thin air.

Take the urban area of ​​Tokyo as an example. The area is the same as that of the Magic City. If the urban area is calculated separately, the population of Tokyo is only half of that of the Magic City. The Tokyo urban area is far less crowded than the Magic City.

In most cities in China, the spacing between buildings is smaller than in Tokyo.

Europe and America are both bigger than Tokyo. The most intuitive result is that the usable area of ​​your community is tight and there are not enough parking spaces.

Therefore, the four major cities in Malaya that have now re-established the Straits Settlements are far from crowded. Even in the urban areas, large areas of reserved land have been set aside for parks and entertainment facilities. The planners from London mainly do This kind of job doesn't just come and go, take the money and leave.

This is also the reason why Alan Wilson has the confidence to set the Malayan colony as a benchmark. The population of the four major cities is not large compared with the megacities in East Asia. The urban construction has been completely renewed, and it is an absolute model of Asian development.

Now that Alan Wilson is no longer the High Commissioner of the Malayan Colony, the reception work is left to the current High Commissioner. Richard receives one wave of colonial visiting groups, while Alan Wilson carries out one wave after another. Everyone is very busy in human spaceflight, working hard for the British Empire.

"I know," Xia Meng smiled brightly, but not gently, "Have you loved many girls?"

"Of course," Alan Wilson said a little casually. He saw that she didn't believe it, so he didn't want to brag anymore. Finally, he had to admit, "It's actually not much. It depends on the standard."

"Then... you will fall in love with me." Xia Meng hooked the man's neck, "I want to hear it, can you tell me?"

"This is a very serious question." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, as if he was having an ideological struggle, and finally nodded, "I have only one request, and you must be obedient in the future."

"I still understand that I am a husband and a godson." Xia Meng pondered for a moment after saying this. "I have not lost contact with the mainland. You are British, do you feel bad about it?"

"It doesn't matter, that's your motherland. Cutting off ties is too ruthless." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, "I believe that all difficulties are temporary. In a sense, I envy countries with large populations and large areas. I will always There is no shortage of opportunities to stand up again, and the error tolerance rate for countries that fail to meet the standards is too low.”

Xiangjiang and the gambling city are currently mainland China's important external channels, both publicly and privately.

The battleships of the Royal Pacific Fleet in Xiangjiang Port seem to be facing a powerful enemy these days.

This is because the Hong Kong Governor is conducting an operation to crack down on rampant smuggling, which makes the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet suddenly nervous. After all, Hong Kong's status is too special.

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the Royal Pacific Fleet, the smuggling ship successfully reached its destination.

This also relies on the help of the Portuguese authorities. The Anglo-Portuguese alliance is still quite solid. The security of Goa also requires the help of docked British warships to a large extent. The British have certainly left South Asia, but they do not seem to have completely left.

Whether it is Ceylon, which still retains its base, or Goa, where British warships dock from time to time, it shows that the looming shadow of Britain is still not far away. A few days later, Lin Lianyu left Hong Kong after confirming the result.

The Malayan colony on this side of the sea was still in peace and quiet. The days of October were so peaceful that the editor of the local news column of the newspaper did not know what kind of articles to fill the page with. A sensational crime? Not happening; ethnic discord? People know a lot about it; but it never makes it onto the page.

There was no news from the colonial government; not even news about natural disasters; reports from the police were rare: a knife fight broke out next to the main train station; two traffic accidents were caused by drunken drivers.

It seemed that there was an invisible hand that bridged everything. The reports all focused on the news of the arrival of more than 20 delegations in the Malayan colony, which came to learn from the advanced experience of Malayan development.

By chance, I met Richard, who had just been his boss for a short time, and learned another word: get rich first and lead to getting rich later. The direction of public opinion was adjusted to center on Malaya's obligation to lead the British colonies to live a better life, and was used to stimulate the self-esteem of the residents of Malaya and the Straits Settlements.

The so-called spiritual civilization construction is of course very expensive to maintain for a long time, but who can't pretend for a while? For the Chinese, it is just like watching a performance, and the same is true for the African delegation coming to Malaya.

The news of learning from Malaya's development experience spread like wildfire and spread throughout the colony in a short time. Richard arranged for the major delegations to visit different cities respectively, with great fanfare and excitement.

"You see, cooperation between different civilizations is actually not as difficult as imagined." Alan Wilson held two grinding tools, patted them lightly and made a crackling sound. Australian silver was transformed into Chinese silver. Isn't this a success? ?

Alan Wilson doesn't know where the several sets of oil refining equipment that were delivered first are located, but as long as they go in, with the current level of satellites, the United States will not be able to find them.

Xia Meng looked at this man eagerly. Now she knew why he didn't care whether she cut off contact with her hometown. Even if she had this relationship, she really didn't care.

"Mengmeng, come sit here." Alan Wilson greeted Xia Meng. Xia Meng, endorsed by two major film and television companies, has become a benchmark for Asian stars, with an absolutely brilliant image.

Xia Meng, who was definitely considered very tall among Asians, leaned in the man's arms lovingly, without any disobedience.

Alan Wilson took out a set of documents to Xia Meng, "My friend at the Ministry of Home Affairs gave me the British immigration certification. Don't underestimate this set of documents. It is difficult to get it. It is even harder to get it when I am in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Arrive. With British identity, it’s easy to go to any Commonwealth country, including Canada and Australia.”

"It's so easy." Xia Meng was full of amazement. She knew how difficult it was. "Many people want it but can't do it."

"Who is right?" Alan Wilson kissed Xia Meng's forehead and said softly, "It's easy for me, but it's not so for others."
