Chapter 1057: Integrating the Aviation Industry

The balance within the party is the first thing that Aidan considered, when Aidan was young to become the Conservative Party’s number two, but the same was suppressed by Churchill for many years, it was not easy to the end of the World War, but ushered in a long time to be called the Labor Party in power, the first half of his life was smooth Aidan, until more than sixty years of age to ascend to the throne of the prime minister.

For the current position of prime minister, Aidan extraordinarily cherish, too hard to come by.

And now Aiden, like Churchill at the time, has chosen to suppress potential rivals.

“The Foreign Secretary is in an awkward position.” Alan Wilson, who had left the dye works, spoke to Makins about Macmillan’s situation. The shift in the status of British and American hosts and guests can also be applied to intra-party rivalries.

Without mentioning Aidan and Macmillan, just look at the complicated relationship between Airdrie and Morrison in the previous government. Few people who are in a position of power willingly watch their former subordinates become their leaders.

Aidley defeated Morrison decades ago and subsequently suppressed the party rival for almost the rest of his life.

“What minister is not in an awkward position?” Makins laughed, “Not to say all of them, the vast majority of ministers know nothing about the scope of their administrations, and who knows what they did before they were elected. Couldn’t have been in the women’s movement!”

“I’ve actually come across ministers like that.” Alan Wilson face derisive, more than ten years ago, the Minister of Indian Affairs, is a person who engaged in affirmative action and supported the women’s movement, “But the diplomatic field is different after all, the foreign minister is leading the work related to foreign affairs, the citizens of the country want to be as hard as possible on foreigners, while the minister’s job is the opposite. Getting the Foreign Secretary around from time to time is also a way of relieving his stress.”

Macmillan is to Aidan as Brezhnev is to Kozlov. The seniority is not comparable, the status is not comparable, and the age is still a bit older than the other party, so normally it is unlikely to pose much of a challenge.

Macmillan was able to rise to power thanks to Aidan’s unhesitating step into the Suez Canal War sinkhole.

But as of now, things are pretty smooth on the Egyptian side, with no shadow of unrest. Originally, another option for the six-party talks on the Iranian oil crisis was to hold them in Cairo, but then they were placed in Basra in southern Iraq for balance reasons.

Anyway, we must find an Arab city to convene, pretending to be related to the Arabs, for ordinary Arabs to form a kind of, Arabs can decide the fate of the Persians this kind of impression is best.

The two got into the car and returned the same way, Makins asked while driving, “By the way, the whole French Africa is falling apart, you’ve been busy lately, right, to avoid the impact on the British African colonies.”

“Fall apart? As of now, Algeria isn’t even independent. And I’ve heard that the expatriates evacuated from Cameroon didn’t go back to mainland France, but to Algeria.” Alan Wilson leaned back comfortably on the passenger seat driver and muttered to himself, “If Algeria is still around, French Africa can’t talk about independence. Even if Algeria is also independent, there’s no chance the French will have their way.”

Of the “maintain ties with France, which would have economic benefits, or complete independence, with all the aid and protection France provides in Africa cut off”, all would sensibly choose the former, giving France a lot of room to maneuver.

Only Guinea, the unlucky one, chose complete independence, the result was the same day the French cut off the telephone system in Guinea, economic assistance in the overnight cancellation of all, the French personnel were withdrawn, not even leave the equipment, even the poles were blown up, everything after the nineteenth century all disappeared from Guinea.

“Are they going to want to play a big game in Algeria again?” Makins shook his head, “A very challenging idea.”

“Who says it isn’t?” Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes, distracted by another matter, what exactly did the minister think of the Malawi colony merger?

With the exception of the colonies in North Africa, the vast majority of British Africa was far more livable than the French colonies.

By the twenty-first century, several countries in French Africa next to the Sahara Desert were already living in considerable hardship because of population expansion and deteriorating living conditions. In contrast the independent countries of British Africa were far from destitute.

It’s not as if there weren’t countries in the British colonies that were short on resources but had significant populations. Malawi actually is, so the attempt to merge it with Tanzania was also motivated by the need to avoid a humanitarian disaster.

If it were for a parliamentary state, even if they wanted to, the parties with their respective supporters wouldn’t necessarily agree to merge an unfamiliar place, and in an electoral system that could bring unexpected changes to the political situation.

But Nyerere doesn’t have this problem, Nyerere is a pro-Soviet leader, and post-independence Tanzania is a de facto Soviet system country, such a country at least doesn’t have to think about the drawbacks due to elections.

If Zanzibar can be merged, Nyerere should not refuse to merge Malawi now.

In any case, until Algeria’s ownership is determined, the UK can’t afford to let go of any of its colonies that aren’t independent today. The edges are harmless, and the British East Africa, which stretches over a wide area, will have to be considered for a while longer.

Hundreds of busy, Alan Wilson still took time out, came to Ms. Xia Meng, this current British citizens most familiar with the face of the East home, the arrival of the destiny of the nobleman, so that Xia Meng personally cook, “In fact, my handicraft is not bad, Huaiyang cuisine is very good, it is the British side of the material, there may also be some problems.”

“Huaiyang cuisine of the four major cuisines? Malaya does have it, but it’s not as common as Cantonese cuisine.” Alan Wilson smiled and complimented, hugging Xia Meng’s waist from behind, “I don’t know what’s the difference compared to Cantonese cuisine, but since it’s made by you, even if it’s poison, I’ll eat it up without blinking an eyebrow.”

The four major cuisines were a concept of this era, and in another thirty years it would be replaced by the concept of the eight major cuisines. This is normal, an era has an era’s concept, and there are naturally different considerations for proposing the concept.

In Alan Wilson’s previous life, there was the concept of a new first-tier city, but in addition to the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, how many recognized it? But it is all just self-indulgence of the cities on the list, and in a few more decades it may be possible.

“Mouth like smeared with honey.” Xia Meng giggled and turned back to look back, “Speaking from the heart?”

“Of course!” Not! Alan Wilson lied with a straight face, what he just said is essentially similar to saying that Indian culture is profound, even if it is sincere, it’s not much bigger, “Britain is more special, if you’re in a Latin country, don’t boast about the food culture, tastes around the world are different, and there is no difference between high and low.”

Public figures are likely to be stepped on because of a sentence on the turn over difficult, especially Xia Meng or foreigners, it is easy to be caught gaffe, the nationals do not have this problem, the current Europe and the United States is still far from the latter days can pretend tolerance.

Xia Meng made Yangzhou fried rice and pine nut corn, but also fried lamb with scallions at the man’s request.

Alan Wilson, on the other hand, prepared oysters, followed by a plate of fried leeks. Leeks are something that is not actually available in the UK, but it is mainly divided into who wants to eat it, and if he wants to eat it, someone will naturally send it over half a world away.

This meal Xia Meng face of the blush did not go down, how the man in front of her to do her dishes, are related to that kind of thing.

Big chunks of Alan Wilson said while eating, “Don’t be polite, in a moment I’ll tell you about the theater.”

Truth be told, he had a joint venture car project to talk to Summer Dream about, Summer Dream was also twenty-seven years old, it was time to think about the next generation.

As darkness descended, Xia Meng leaned into the man’s embrace, the red tide on her face had not yet faded, her fingers drew circles on the man’s chest, and she inquired in a small voice, “I heard that your wife is a very wealthy person, so it won’t be a hindrance to you.”

“Very wealthy? She’s the richest woman in the world.” Alan Wilson lit a cigarette, like a red dot in the darkness of the night, “You don’t pry into her affairs.”

Pamela Mountbatten wasn’t in London right now, or else where would he have had the guts to just run off and spend the night at Charmaine’s?

Britain’s richest woman, went to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, naturally for the Belfast strategic transport aircraft, because of the limited financial resources of the parent company, Short Brothers, production, although it has already begun from last October, but stumbling progress is very slow.

From Field Marshal Mountbatten that learned the news Alan Wilson, directly let Pamela Mountbatten to try to talk to the Shorter Brothers Company, Britain is now absolutely overloaded with aircraft manufacturers, including Shorter Brothers, there are also de Havilland, Averro, Armstrong Whitworth, Bristow, Handley-Peakey, Gloucester and a series of other aircraft manufacturers.

Many of these companies are general arms dealers, building some of everything, and dedicated aircraft manufacturers like Bristow are putting their chips on supersonic airliners.

Pamela Mountbatten, who had already made her fortune in Australia, came back this time to bring her talents to Belfast.

Ready to talk to the aircraft manufacturing departments of these companies, consolidate out a dedicated aircraft manufacturer, used to improve the competitiveness of British aircraft manufacturing, and change the phenomenon of British aircraft manufacturers piled up.

In Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, Pamela Mountbatten invited representatives of the major airlines, citing Boeing’s coming on strong, to begin discussions about mergers and reorganizations of British airlines.

Bristow, Schott Brothers and de Havilland have large aircraft manufacturing experience, but also Pamela Mountbatten is currently the most valued companies, to promote the promotion of the strategic transport aircraft program, as well as to strengthen the strength of the Comet airliner, for which the richest woman is very generous.

Ten days later, Belfast came to the British aviation industry far-reaching news, Pamela Mountbatten to 60 million pounds, the three large aircraft manufacturing experience in the company into one, Bristol company’s supersonic airliner project terminated, the team merged into the comet airliner team, a part of the team to join the Belfast strategic transporter.

The Belfast Strategic Transport Aircraft program, with the full support of Pamela Mountbatten.
