Chapter 1190 People must rely on themselves

For Alan Wilson, this incident is a small episode, he is still more concerned about the timing of my Great Britain extremely sublimated, he remembered the duel before and after the top of the Himalayas is divided into two phases, the first stage is in the Cuban Missile Crisis is the most intense stage, mainly for the annihilation of the Indian infiltration.

The second stage is the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a stage in which the United States and the Soviet Union are discussing the withdrawal of missiles.

And the Indian army is taking a beating. The news from New Delhi remains optimistic at the moment, so it is safe to conclude that the demise that has put India on edge has not yet arrived.

Alan Wilson, like a headless fly, wandering from department to department, those who don’t know would think that the recent Deputy Cabinet Secretary, is familiarizing himself with his new job, but in fact it is not at all, he is just wandering around to kill the waiting time.

“If it weren’t for the lack of precedent, I’d almost think you’d made an error in judgment.” Marshal Mountbatten could see that his son-in-law, definitely not too happy with his promotion to settle down, must still be an Asian thing.

“Marshal, you’d better plot out how to intervene at the right time.” Alan Wilson did not lose confidence, still sticking to his earlier judgment, “Maybe the timing was not judged accurately, but the result will not change.”

“What? Throwing yourself into the role of Secretary General of the Cabinet, right in front of me now?” Field Marshal Mountbatten said rudely, “Maybe I should tell Pamela, you’re cheating and sneaking up on me, your old father.”

“Just kidding!” Alan Wilson decisively bowed his head, and emphasized with some defiance, “The Marshal knows full well, that Pamela and I have an unbreakable bond.”

“I’m not helping you test the degree of indestructibility.” Field Marshal Mountbatten muttered in his old age.

Perth, the capital of Western Australia, as the most vibrant and fastest-growing major city in Australia in the past decade, has developed at an astonishingly fast pace, and as a major stopping point for British immigrants, Perth’s population has soared from less than three hundred thousand in 1945 to nearly one million.

Only Melbourne in the Gold Rush era had this kind of population growth, and in fact Perth’s population growth accelerated even faster than Melbourne’s, which was attracted to the city by the gold mines, while Perth, as the capital of Western Australia, was supported by the mineral wealth of the entire state.

Perth, the capital of Western Australia, was supported by the minerals of the whole of Western Australia. While Australia’s mineral revenues supported three major cities in the east, Western Australia only had to support one city, Perth.

Half of Perth’s million settlers are dual citizens, Australian and British, and the British and Australian flags fly side by side in Perth, almost everywhere.

The skyline of Perth near the sea is clearly visible above the city, and in the eastern part of the city there are single-family neighborhoods connected to the main city by a network of roads, an infrastructure that reflects the wealth of the Western Australian government.

The four big families of Hong Kong, Swire and Jardine, have also set up branch offices in Perth to link up the Malayan and Hong Kong axes of the industrial cycle.

The vitality of Perth almost immediately overwhelmed Ian Smith, who felt it was more prosperous than London.

Naturally, London still has a lot of old towns, and the previous renovation was just a bit of tinkering, but in a city the size of London, it would be astronomical to renovate it all. It’s not like Perth to tread lightly, and the state government does have a lot of money.

Unlike Australia, where the Conservative Party is currently in power, Western Australia is ruled by the Labor Party. The current leader of the Australian Labor Party is Arthur Calwell, who, as Minister for Immigration in the Conservative government, has adopted a pro-immigration policy and is a strong supporter of the White Australia policy.

With the help of the Minister for Immigration, British immigrants came in force to Western Australia and turned it into a Labor loyalist, which then built a welfare system that exceeded that of the East, with the support of British immigrants and the financial strength of Western Australia.

When Ian Smith arrived in Perth, Land Rover Discoverys were everywhere on the road. The tough-looking Land Rover Discovery entered the Australian market and quickly gained a foothold, winning the favor of British immigrants.

Taking Western Australia alone, the standard of living is no worse than that of the Americans, and probably only a little less than Newfoundland, and far more than Southern Rhodesia.

Mountbatten Mansion, Pamela Mountbatten holding her young son, full of enthusiasm out of the office, the last few days he was in a very good mood, in the Cuban Missile Crisis when the most dangerous time to plunge, a few days later the crisis is substantially over, as of now a few days time gains of more than twenty-two percent, a profit of more than thirty million U.S. dollars.

In a good mood, she had the leisure to meet Ian Smith who made a visit to her door.

“Welcome, Minister Ian.” Pamela Mountbatten put her young son down and warmly opened her mouth to greet him, “I don’t know what you’re looking for me from far away Southern Rhodesia?”

“Ms. Pamela, I’m from London, and I’ve met your husband.” Ian Smith opened his mouth to introduce himself, and stated that he had already made a trip to London, and now had come on a special trip.

“It’s better to call Mrs. Wilson more formally for a first meeting.” Pamela Mountbatten corrected the other’s title then the conversation turned, “You’ve met my husband, how is he these days? He’s a man whose mind is occupied with the international situation every day and it’s always a worry when he’s working.”

In a few short words, Pamela Mountbatten expressed her hang-ups about her husband, and with a long sigh continued, “Minister Ian, explain why you’re here? You’re not thinking of going the madam route, are you?”

Ian Smith nodded his head, Pamela Mountbatten’s face then just changed, compassionately spoke, “You and most people actually misunderstand one thing, our family is a man’s say, the reason why I’m running the business is purely because my husband isn’t interested in it, and no other reason.”

“If you have questions that aren’t answered with my husband, then they probably won’t be answered with me either.”

“You and Sir Alan, you have a similar style of speaking.” Ian Smith opened his mouth a little deflated.

“Thanks!” Pamela Mountbatten instead opened her mouth to thank, “The problem of Southern Rhodesia, whether it is the Cabinet or Whitehall opinion is unanimous, in terms of the value of utilization, three hundred thousand white immigrants, how can it be greater than the whole of Black Africa view? You must not think that just because your skin color is white you can change that. South Africa has the largest gold mines in the world, and isn’t it still under sanction?”

The little girl who was knocked unconscious by a handful of diamonds back then has grown up, Alan Wilson would have been relieved if he had seen this scene, don’t think that you are indispensable in the world, the Soviet Union was swarmed by a group of people for only ten years. The Soviet Union was attacked by a group of people only ten years ago. A large country has been blockaded since its founding, which also proves that the world is the same without you.

Even the United States can’t afford to make enemies everywhere, let alone a colony supported by a white population of 300,000 people.

Learning of Ian Smith’s intention, Pamela Mountbatten expressed her love, “In fact, the most realistic way is to partition, but the proportion of your population is too small, which can not be helped.”

Ian Smith thought about it and suddenly said, “We have half of Malawi in our hands, London wants us to partition it to Nyerere, but it hasn’t been done yet.”

“Fifty thousand square kilometers of land, not to say it’s completely useless, only to say that we can try.” Pamela Mountbatten felt that the other party was desperate, and it was not good to extinguish the other party’s hope, “Stuff more blacks in there, and there might be less trouble in the future.”

As for Ian Smith’s mouth, what grain, what fruit production, Pamela Mountbatten was not interested at all. It was all worthless stuff, “It’s in times of famine that food is valuable. In normal times, food is not so valuable.”

Pamela Mountbatten, however, had lived in India and was very clear about the power of grain, but it was because of that clarity. He understood the value of grain in ordinary times, and that the production of grain must be above the consumption of the population. There is no such thing as a hundred people eating, only ninety people’s food, everyone averages it out to get through the hard times.

Once there is such a gap in demand, food prices will skyrocket, and food that is already insufficient will be hoarded, causing the spread of even greater famine.

Pamela Mountbatten was just making a casual remark to show that Southern Rhodesia was indeed worthless, but the speaker was silent and Ian Smith, who was silent, suddenly had a horrible thought rise, a thought that once it appeared could not be suppressed.

In the early days of Southern Rhodesia there was a bill to separate the lands of whites and blacks, but because the number of blacks had skyrocketed, it had led to the blacks’ lives falling apart, and the blacks had been strapped for food. The blacks’ land was only able to allow the blacks to barely make ends meet because of their population, and in the event of a famine?

If it was channeled properly, wouldn’t it create a wave of flight that would bring down the number of blacks in Southern Rhodesia?

Ian Smith left Mountbatten House, having gained nothing, yet seeming to gain greatly. Now he, in turn, is going back to Southern Rhodesia to implement it.

Relying on the mountain to fall, relying on people to run, people must rely on themselves, Southern Rhodesia’s problems, London can not save, Cape Town can not do anything, only to save themselves.

Walked out of Mountbatten House Ian Smith, looked at the bustling Perth, such as smoke traffic scene, the heart has made up its mind, not counting how he must try.

“First left a year, wait until next year in the sell-off, I feel that the United States top the Soviet Union blackmail good news, should last a year’s time, now still have to keep an eye on silver, and the United States Silver Party members of parliament to play a good relationship is right.”

Pamela Mountbatten as if unearthly blandness, and his own assistant to discuss business operations.
