Chapter 1493 – Fu Di Devil’s Brother

“Leaving with the head of the family, of course.” Pamela Mountbatten showed her little girl mentality for a moment, then resumed the dignity of the richest woman and said, “Our daughter is coming back in the next few days.”

“Oh, Arnold will be happy. Our baby boy seems to be in dire straits financially these days.” The smile on Alan Wilson’s face was very genuine as he talked about his children.

Arnold, the youngest son, had nothing to say in every way, after all, the Supreme Authority also believed in the saying that a son was still his own good.

But also not a little fault can not be picked out, Arnold is somewhat like the younger brother in the term Fu Di Demon, from time to time to take advantage of a little bit from the big sister, although he himself may not need, just to bully the big sister as a fun, to deal with the boring study of the spice.

Pamela Mountbatten stayed directly with her husband and did not leave, informing her daughter that this time it was also a sort of streamlined version of traveling around the world, and spent some time in Newfoundland, Goa, and Vegas, “The situation over in Lisbon is that it is ready to give up all the colonies, and since it is going to be evacuated it is going to be evacuated cleanly. The New Delhi government is ready to take over Goa, Jakarta naturally needless to say, has long wanted the Portuguese to get out, the sovereignty of Timor Island, Canberra has the intention to make it independent and get rid of Indonesia’s ambitions. It is hoped that we will be on Australia’s side, and unexpectedly it is Vegas, which the other side is not prepared to take over before the lease comes up.”

“Waiting for Pamela to come back in to look into the matter.” Alan Wilson took twice as much whisky on a passing waiter’s tray in his hand and handed a glass directly to his wife saying, “Australia does need to control some of the outlying islands as a buffer, and with Timor Island to the northwest of Australia, it could indeed be operated as a barrier. But if we do that, Indonesia’s hatred will be permanently transferred to Australia.”

The island of Timor is a special case, in fact, only half of it belongs to the Portuguese colony called East Timor, except that it was around the time that Sukarno declared independence from the Netherlands, and Britain used a little bit of tactics to help the Portuguese army occupy the western part of the island, and by that time, Indonesia had already gained its independence.

In a sense, Indonesia faced Portuguese aggression just after independence, and of course Britain was pretty much the same in this case, transferring the neighboring islands that could be used as barriers to Malayan jurisdiction under the understanding of the Dutch.

Now these islands do not belong to Malaya, but are part of the Straits Settlements that were re-divided before the end of Alan Wilson’s term.

That is, many of these offshore islands, which had already sold permanent residency to Middle Eastern crowns, belonged to the Chinese-majority Straits Colony, not the Malayan-majority Malayan Colony. The messier the division, the better, and the dogfighting is good for exerting balance.

Today is the dinner before the Prime Minister leaves office, the Queen herself is not very suitable to discuss these matters, it is better to wait until her daughter arrives home, then talk about these matters.

Queen Elizabeth is the first time to participate in the prime minister’s outgoing dinner, in fact, originally in history, in addition to Harold Wilson, there is also Churchill have this treatment.

However, in the time and space where the supreme authority is located, Churchill was more unlucky, and his ambition was not rewarded did not return to 10 Downing Street after the war.

For the Queen’s presence, Harold Wilson also showed great favor, can be described as radiant, as proud as the East End of London patriots to stand up their chests. Accepting the Queen’s compliments on his career as Prime Minister.

“What does Her Majesty think of the list of honors drawn up by the Prime Minister?” Alan Wilson, still whispering to his wife in the middle of the angle, inquired about the exchange of benefits.

“All granted, the Queen will no longer be a hindrance in such matters.” Pamela Mountbatten nodded, “The Prime Minister, despite his resignation, still has a role to play in the House of Commons, so for the moment only medals will be accepted, and as for knighthoods, they will be awarded when he is no longer willing to work in the House of Commons either.”

“What about Horn, what are the arrangements going to be?” Alan Wilson took a sip of whisky, used to cover his question, Robin Wilson, Horn Wilson is Harold Wilson’s two sons, this year are less than thirty years old, of which the younger son, Horn, from the appearance of the Prime Minister’s father is very similar to the Prime Minister’s father, I do not know if there is not written a chapter called my Prime Minister’s father this essay.

“It’s been arranged, but his younger son doesn’t seem to aspire to it. But I’ll do what needs to be done.” Pamela Mountbatten replied in a small voice, at which point thunderous applause erupted from 10 Downing Street, both for the Queen and for the outgoing Prime Minister, who would be the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom starting tomorrow.

From the next day onwards, Britain entered the era of Prime Minister Callaghan, and it seemed that everything went so smoothly and without noticeable change.

A few days later, he and Pamela Mountbatten’s baby daughter, returned to London, and it was clear that the eldest daughter was ready to take over the management of the industry that was the least of her parents’ worries, which had been the least of their worries, and which, according to the words of Arnold, would have to be left to fend for itself if it was all unmanageable.

“Unlike India and Indonesia who were impatient for the Portuguese to leave, they were not.” Pamela talked about Macau with a surprised face, and then the conversation turned, “There is a huge exodus of money from Goa, which seems to be related to the uncertainty of India’s prospects due to Indira Gandhi’s policies as well.”

“Perhaps it’s just the timing of the treaty, nothing more.” Arnold said in his old age, “My good sister, how does it feel to be in the gaming business.”

“Surprising indeed, Newfoundland is at least twice as rich as the United States and Canada.” Pamela said suddenly, “But the level between Vegas and Xiangjiang isn’t pulling ahead.”

“Hmm? Didn’t realize I had to wipe the Portuguese’s ass.” Alan Wilson muttered then said, “Quite simply, Vegas should start transforming. At least it can’t rely entirely on gaming.”

A few decades later, Vegas took advantage of its return to a major country to become the top four casinos in the world, but to be fair, that top four is the one with the lowest incomes for its residents.

Las Vegas, although it lost its #1 Vegas throne around the nineties, far surpassed the period of being the #1 Vegas in terms of income.

Las Vegas gaming industry in the nineties into stagnation also began to decline, that time Vegas has not returned to a major country.

So Las Vegas began to think about how to attract more foot traffic, and came to the conclusion that the hobby of gambling, no matter in which country is a fixed proportion of people, will not because of the casino’s environment is how bad to leave, and will not because of the casino how opulent on this sinking.

People who like to gamble will not go, do not like to gamble people have heard of the fame of Las Vegas will not come, so Las Vegas began to transform to do an entertainment city, and in the transformation of the middle of the first Vegas throne, but the whole city has not been affected by the city’s residents, the income of the city residents is still the United States per capita income is twice as much.

American famous but not the first star of the stars, a large proportion of income, are from Las Vegas shows, shopping and amusement and a number of family fun, especially in the shopping, including all the world’s famous brands are attracting female consumers, as well as attracting children to play the amusement park project.

“The fame of Vegas has to rely on the entertainment industry of Xiangjiang, but the area of Vegas is a bit too small, there is nothing to sightsee.” Alan Wilson thought for a while, “There is more than just gaming to be established in the Casino, it depends on whether the Vegas government has the determination. Any entertainment program has to be developed. After a while we’ll examine Hollywood and see if we can transplant some approaches. I’ve never been there, I don’t know what it’s like to have swathes of luxury yachts set up on the beach.”

“It feels pretty good to me. Does that go along with the tax-free zone and some of the other policies listed?” Arnold spoke up and replied, “The key is what the Portuguese think, Portugal has changed governments again and the information is rather confusing.”

“It’s not imminent, there’s plenty of time to adjust slowly at this time.” Alan Wilson said to his good son that there was no need to rush, and that the time was entirely too late.

Vegas is still worth a good development, at least and Xiangjiang should be balanced, Allen Wilson understands in his heart, once the return, the revenue of Vegas wants to exceed Xiangjiang easily.

Even if the people who like to bet in any country is a fixed proportion, can’t help but people’s population is really large, completely without transformation can be better off than Hong Kong.

The failure of Vegas is in accordance with Las Vegas as a comparison, and Xiangjiang than not a failure at all, completely hanging Xiangjiang to fight.

Before the return, the per capita income of Vegas is also more than half of the people of Hong Kong, if the early transformation, Vegas may be equal to Hong Kong, once the return of a large number of tourists, the Hong Kong far away from that is a probable event, the transformation of the early, maybe the income of Vegas will be far more than the Special Administrative Region in his memory.

Couples and daughters talk, Alan Wilson directly pulled his wife upstairs, leaving the rest of the time to the siblings, Arnold coughed softly, cleared his throat and opened his mouth, “Pamela.”

“How do you talk to your sister?” Pamela’s phoenix eyes glared, banking on the fact that her brother would know better than to jump out and cause trouble.

“I don’t want to, but father can’t do much about you. But some things can’t be left unsaid.” Unmoved, Arnold took out his journal, and took the opportunity to lick his fingers as he was told, “So let’s start with the nature reserve in the Rhodesian royal domain, and regarding the fact that Southern Rhodesia is in the midst of a guerrilla war, and that father isn’t actually happy with the move to go to Africa and carve up the land indiscriminately, that’s the first item… …”

“The above eight mistakes you made during this period of time will have me personally overseeing the corrections, and regarding the future trends of the gaming industry, it would be best to write a report that I will forward to father.” Arnold closed the diary, with a look of reminiscence still on his face, and thought seriously for a while, making sure that there was nothing more to add, he really wanted to add more.
