Chapter 1201 High, just high

The Commonwealth Summit is now nothing more than Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the newly independent Nigeria, with India thrown in. Nehru had already arrived in London while Alan Wilson’s Anglo-American summit was struggling to get off the ground.

Alan Wilson entered the Cabinet Secretary’s office and presented Norman Brooke with a plan for the reorganization of Commonwealth institutions to increase the cohesion of the Commonwealth.

The time was right, especially as Nehru needed the support of the Commonwealth countries, and it should not be wasted.

Establish a secretariat responsible for the Commonwealth’s communication with each other, organizing consultations and cooperation among member countries, exchanging information, organizing meetings, etc.

The Secretary General would be re-elected every five years and could be reappointed. Certainly all my colleagues in Whitehall are convinced that there is no one better suited to the post of Commonwealth Secretary General than Norman Brooke.

Among the plans are the Commonwealth Foundation and other organizations: the Commonwealth Foundation has been reorganized into an international fund, financed by member governments, to promote closer professional and other non-governmental cooperation within the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth Institute, funded mainly by the British Government, promotes understanding of the Commonwealth through exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, open libraries and other activities.

There are also professional organizations such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Commonwealth Press Union, the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council, the Commonwealth Sports Federation and the Commonwealth Arts Association.

“The bond of the Commonwealth is our Honorable Majesty, and who this government is. Rather it has little to do with it.” Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, that’s how he sees it, taking the influence of nasty politicians out of the equation is a good thing for Britain.

Norman Brooke was pleased with his successor’s heartfelt gesture and expressed his appreciation for it, “Alan, you will be a successful Cabinet Secretary.”

“How dare I compare myself to the Supreme Authority, just doing my best.” Alan Wilson had a modest face.

This Commonwealth Prime Ministers Meeting, the main topic of discussion, of course, was India getting punched in the face. Everyone knows that the foundation of the British Empire is India, in addition to the white autonomous territories, India’s status is more than other colonies.

Now, of course, India’s position has been superseded, and Malaya has become the India of the past, and far more so.

At this very moment, Malaya is producing seven times more steel than India did in 1962. And 10 million tons more than Britain itself.

In fact, no one understood better than Britain what steel production could do for a nation’s strength.

The pre-World War I world was known as the age of British rule, with the Germans and Americans as challengers. The Germans and the Americans were the challengers. Both countries overtook Britain in industrial indicators, but Britain didn’t really care about Germany’s overtaking.

Because Britain had a large number of colonies as a backing, it might not be easy to fight Germany, but it would never lose.

But 1901, British public opinion on a matter discussed for a long time, that is, Morgan’s acquisition of Carnegie Steel, the formation of the U.S. Steel Corporation, whether it is Morgan’s acquisition of funds, or the subsequent U.S. Steel’s production capacity, all sectors of the United Kingdom were shocked.

This is the first time Britain realized that the United States is not the potential to surpass Britain, but has been put into action.

The growth of American steel had to be due to the iron ore of the Great Lakes, which was much higher than that of Britain itself.

Just as Australian iron ore is now far superior to that of the United States, quality iron ore saves additional costs, and the Kuching steel base is built on this foundation.

The annual production capacity of 35 million tons, is not entirely a market economy, which also relies on the part of the imperial preferential system, because Australia provides high-quality special ore, the Kuching Steel Base will respond to Australia’s demand, a certain share of the allocation, to supply Australia’s needs.

Perth’s prosperity, there is the Kuching Steel Base’s credit, Kuching to Australia and New Zealand sent five million tons of steel, as the two countries to support the construction. The debriefing is that Australia and New Zealand must join Britain in securing Malaya.

“Doing your best might be modest, haven’t you just staunchly defended Britain’s interests in front of Dulles?” Norman Brooke smiled slightly and said, “Of course I agree that the French attitude has a role to play in this aspect of Britain balancing the United States. But you’re being alarmist, the situation in Europe isn’t dangerous enough for that.”

“Yes, Sir Norman.” Alan Wilson agreed that NATO was not at a disadvantage against the Warsaw Pact. Provided of course that it didn’t come to blows, which was fine if it was just a standoff.

As for a few decades later, it could be a complete advantage. The real disadvantage is in East Asia, the United States early East Asia has Britain, France, Germany and Italy this kind of power players? Not at all, Washington will not think that Japan and South Korea is enough, right?

These two players, the equivalent of NATO’s confrontation line in the French border, the United States relies on allies only Britain and France, this also confrontation what, Europe is almost lost.

This Commonwealth Prime Ministers Meeting, the gold content of the countries present is also quite high, in addition to Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, India naturally needless to say, a big country of sound and color.

For this India’s defeat, at the opening of the Prime Minister’s meeting, most of the public opinion expressed sympathy, of course, freedom of speech society, gloating voice is not uncommon, Nehru can be dissatisfied, but who let you dish it out.

Prime Minister Aidan also expressed full courtesy to Nehru, but Alan Wilson seems, the reason is that India is going to spend forty-five percent of next year’s fiscal expenditures on military spending, such a piece of news.

With the Cold War period, fiscal expenditure accounted for one-fifth of the total economy to calculate, India will have more than one billion pounds of military expenditure next year, this is already as low as possible to estimate, if optimistic, this may be two billion pounds of the total.

A big cake in front of the United Kingdom at this time, for only a few years of the British military industry, it is simply pie in the sky, Aidan of course, is extremely interested in.

Nehru was given the courtesy he deserved. At the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Meeting, Nehru said that India had been cheated and tearfully maintained India’s dignity.

The other Prime Ministers naturally showed understanding and were willing to offer all moral support, except help.

Now that India is no longer a colonial state, India’s security will naturally have to be its own responsibility, and it is fine to do business, but at a clear price and in accordance with the market economy.

Squatting in front of the TV to watch the news Alan Wilson, a serious look, receiving news on TV, some do not meet the position of the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but at this time he can not help, he is not the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, yesterday after receiving the Indian military delegation, there is no longer anything he.

Even India’s military representatives, mainly are received by Field Marshal Mountbatten, he is just listening to how his father-in-law brags, if he is there, he will definitely change a set of strategic diversionary programs, and then look at the Indians and say, “High, really high ……”

This kind of drama between the Taijun and the interpreter is just boring, similar to the style of the five-star emperor, Mountbatten, and the difference between the Emperor of the McTennessee and the McTennessee is that the McTennessee has already rolled over, and Mountbatten has not yet.

Anyway, Alan Wilson had no idea how mountain warfare was connected to the Anglo-Indian Army’s strategy of counterattacking Burma, but with Mountbatten saying that there were lessons to be learned from previous battles, and the Indians nodding their heads uncontrollably, then there might actually be lessons to be learned.

“Honey, dinner’s ready.” Vivienne leaned in the doorway and called out to her man.

On the table were four large plates of beef tenderloin, six large plates of braised chicken nuggets with confit veal, three legs of lamb, a nice looking roast suckling pig in the center, and sausages with sour molded vegetables on all sides.

In the corners were long-necked, big-bellied glass bottles filled with shochu. The sweet cider in the thin-necked bottles floated in thick foam around the corks; each glass was filled first, and there were several large plates of yellow cheese, the top layer bare, with Vivienne’s name written on it, and the cheese wobbling at the slightest movement of the table.

In the middle of the table was a large cake, piled up in the middle as a castle, surrounded by, almonds, raisins, and orange chunks refined into a luscious fortress; and lastly, on the top tier was a green patch of false grass, with false stones, a lake made of jam, and a boat made of hazelnut shells, and a little Eros could be seen playing on the swings, and the swing frame was made of chocolate, and on the tops of the two poles there were two real rosebuds, and that was the orb on the peak of the cake up.

“Happy birthday, Vivian.” Alan Wilson offered to raise his glass in salute, then nodded at the other man in the room, “Eat more, your mother has prepared so many treats.”

“I will!” David eyed the pair in front of him as they raised their glasses in a four-way and wondered if he wasn’t being a little redundant.

How could it be redundant, but in reality it really wasn’t that important, Vivien Leigh was in a great mood as the Honorary President of the Anglo-Indian Film Actors’ Guild, having just been elevated to the position of President of the Commonwealth Arts Association yesterday.

The Great British Treasure had been exuberant, and in the evening had sent Alan Wilson off to the familiar land of water and grass.

“David is so big.” Lying on top of Alan Wilson, her hair falling over her chest, Vivienne couldn’t help but sigh, “I’m raising money from India to help a little.”

“You can do whatever you want. It’s just in the realm of civil exchange.” Alan Wilson didn’t stop it, Indians were sort of nice to be around from an individual sphere. The national level was another story, the head of the Pipeline P5 was just a little too defensive of India, and generally didn’t attack individuals, with a level of viciousness far below that of Japan and Korea.

Alan Wilson even believes that a few years ago, the Indians are genuinely shouted, “China and India are as close as brothers!” It was never a casual shout.

Vivienne is going to help out in the civic sphere, and it’s easy to reap the goodwill of the Indians.
