Chapter 235 The Jet Age

In response to Sir Barron’s words, Alan Wilson made a face of surprise, but not overly so, showing that the recent by no means in vain talk of theater with Vivienne, there has been a stage of results.

This matter he is actually aware of, he has returned to British India, Pamela Mountbatten’s telegram, naturally do not need others in the forwarding to his hands, the same also know Pamela’s broken, sister married delayed his father’s appointment, and so on ……

But the top man was beside him, and he could not say that he knew the news before Sir Barron; it was not to imitate Jack Horse’s remark, “I am busier than the President, but have not the President’s power.”

If that had been said, at least before Mountbatten arrived in British India, Alan Wilson would first have to invoke Sir Barron’s conditioning, “It’s Sir Edward’s news!”

Seeing Alan Wilson with a surprised blankness, Sir Barron was very pleased and turned to ask what the conversation with Pedro had been about today.

And Pedro’s conversation is still in the secret stage, this secret is the same to Sir Barron, although Sir Barron is the head of British India, but he also absolutely could not have imagined that this deeply valued assistant. In his heart, he had already valued the whole of British India and was looking for a seller to package it for sale.

Than the guts, Alan Wilson than this civil service chief most of the time, do so naturally also have inner driving force, in order to let the British Empire continue to be great, British India must be cashed in, the front is a minefield, he also want to bravely trip over.

With some minutiae, to fool Sir Barron, just talked about the geographic location of Goa.

“If we evacuate the subcontinent, Goa’s position is very much like Xiangjiang.” Sir Barron suddenly spoke, “It’s very similar isn’t it? But then again, the governor of Xiangjiang changes very frequently, it seems like it has changed three governors, it’s not as stable as British India. Alan, you’ve lived in Xiangjiang, what’s your impression of the place.”

“Booger-sized place, no special impression.” Alan Wilson replied with an indifferent face, “One of the many colonies of the British Empire, not quite the one that is also particularly good. It can be seen as a window into British Malaya to attract immigrants and balance the pacifists in the East Indies. British India to this day, I think the biggest difficulty is that there is no way to take the Hindus, and similar mistakes should never be repeated.”

“Good, balance is the excellent way to manage a colony.” Sir Barron nodded with satisfaction, “You seem to have sent quite a few people to the Andaman Islands, haven’t you?”

“British India won’t have time for that archipelago once the Great Famine comes. If there is a famine on the islands, it can be considered part of this subcontinental famine.” Alan Wilson said without the slightest bit of emotion, “Giving them a chance to get into the statistics is already a recognition that they have made a trip to the world, as for the rest, their personal abilities are limited and they shouldn’t ask for too much.”

This 1946 famine was a big test for Alan Wilson, and since it was a big test, he naturally wished to take advantage of it to get as many things out of the way as possible.

After coming to the subcontinent, all the previous operations can be considered as laying the foundation, and whether or not he can solve a lot of previously planned problems along the way will depend on when the Great Famine arrives.

Alan Wilson believed that it would definitely descend on the glorious subcontinent with a robust stride.

Without staying long, Alan Wilson left the Governor’s Mansion, knocked lightly on the door, and waited until the door was opened before speaking, “Ms. Vivian, I have just attended the reception, and have taken the liberty of coming over to disturb.”

“Very presumptuous indeed.” Vivienne threw a wink and smoothly stepped aside from the doorway, snapping! The door was closed heavily, as if everything had just been an illusion.

Vivien Leigh’s documentary movie, India’s Daughter was actually not yet finished, but it was already underway to the end.

But now time is running out, usually a day without rain can’t see anything, but in the place that relies on the sky to eat, in the busy farming season this can be fatal, of course this is also a good opportunity for Vivien Leigh.

“As soon as you get to America with your documentary movie and news of the famine in India, raise even a small amount of food. You’re all the publicity for this year’s Empire. Goddess of London, daughter of India, whatever accolades you want will come easily. By then your popularity will be worldwide, and not as an actress.”

Wrapping his arms around Cleopatra’s fiery torso, Alan Wilson followed his lead and showed that this was a great opportunity for a class leap. The Vivienne of the future would still be an actress, sure, but she wouldn’t be just an actress anymore.

“It’s all because you hold me up so well.” With a pair of arms like lotus roots wrapped around the man’s neck, Fei Wenli even had the urge to give birth to this little man.

However, the Demon Empress still suppressed this impulse, she couldn’t apologize to her husband, at least not until after the divorce was considered.

Allen Wilson naturally would not have thought that even the international movie queen resistance is so poor, subjugated to his ubiquitous charm, even moved to the idea of divorce.

In fact, it’s no wonder, who let Alan Wilson is a person with integrity it, take the benefits to do their best to help others to plan, this point today the Portuguese just learned.

In Vivien Leigh, this characteristic is particularly prominent, can be said that the Indian famine the more tragic, for which the image of Vivien Leigh running, will be more and more water will rise.

This time, the British Empire’s hegemony of public opinion, absolutely will not be used to block the news, but to take advantage of the famine to shape the image of the British Empire, this process, if Vivien Leigh can shoulder up the national mission, naturally, will also be pushed by the British Empire, but how much can be the next, or to look at the Vivien Leigh themselves.

“This smart brain of yours, if you become a scientist, you might lead the social progress.” Fei Wen Li’s onion-like finger tapped the little man’s nose, “Instead, you’re now just studying the human heart.”

“It would be nice to study the human heart, besides who says I’m not leading social progress, I’m contributing to de Havilland.” Alan Wilson crumbled, “Only in someone else’s name.”

As for whose name was used, of course it was Pamela Mountbatten’s name, and this pitch was for the Comet jetliner project, and the answer to the question of why Pamela Mountbatten’s name was used was that Pamela Mountbatten’s mother had money and her father had power.

And Pamela Mountbatten likes herself, so she wants to help her. Granted, the contact with Pamela Mountbatten started by throwing money at her, which shows that how hard a man’s back is depends largely on economic strength.

But after the show of financial prowess, it was time to bring out a little something else, and Alan Wilson wasn’t ready for that.

Passing on civil service talk to a woman who was supposed to be a wife. He wasn’t in London, so of course he didn’t know that Pamela Mountbatten had already put her ear to the ground and used her words on her father.

The world’s first jet airliner was, in fact, the British Comet airliner, and Britain was one of the first countries to invent the jet engine. After World War II, the British used jet technology for civilian airplanes.

De Havilland also acquired information on German research into the aerodynamics of swept-back wings.

De Havilland then began designing a jet airliner, which it named the Comet. This civil airliner was the first civilian airliner to be powered by a jet engine and was considered revolutionary technology at the time.

Since around the time of the First World War, Britain has always had the problem of getting up early and catching up late. It always took out very advanced technology and produced a look-alike.

If the U.S. weapons is to use first-class materials to manufacture first-class weapons, Soviet weapons is to use second-class materials, integrated out of the first-class weapons system, I Britain will not go out of the ordinary, with first-class materials, manufactured out of second-class weapons. And we’ve done it more than once!

It’s not as if the technology isn’t there, it’s fine to test any of it individually, but when it’s assembled, it goes wrong. The Comet jet airliner, is just one of the close examples.

The Comet had just appeared using the new technology and materials of the day, and was considered to be a large jet airliner that represented the state-of-the-art of its time in terms of flight speed, comfort, and number of passengers carried.

Also thanks to Pamela Mountbatten now has been in love with the mind, directly with Alan Wilson through the expedited express delivery of the Boeing 737 shape drawings to London, went to de Havilland’s company, showing the identity, at the same time to show the desire to bring capital into the group.

Why is the shape of the drawings, this is because Alan Wilson has only seen the appearance of the Boeing airliner, can draw by memory is good, in order to improve the success rate, but also in the telegram among the instillation of some, about metal fatigue words.

But even so, he could not guarantee that Pamela Mountbatten would be able to help him get the job done.

De Havilland had been dismissive of the childish daughter of the second generation of power, and could not, from the outside, associate Pamela Mountbatten with airplane design.

But Pamela Mountbatten is indeed in a state of love yes, but in a state of love, she likewise shows a different side, such as Whitehall standard civil service talk.

Having just met, Pamela Mountbatten shocked de Havilland with a set of civil service words. Together with the background of a family whose father was a former commander-in-chief in Southeast Asia and whose mother was a famous and wealthy businessman, she ended up taking out a sketch of the shape of a Boeing airliner.

This made de Havilland was shocked, himself is the study of jet airliners, of course, can see that this sketch has a great reference, and then listen to Pamela Mountbatten tell the speculation of metal fatigue, directly to this little girl in awe.

“I believe that the era of the jet airliner is bound to come, and numerous powerful nations are investing money in research.” Pamela Mountbatten said with a hint of longing, “The British Empire cannot afford to let the opportunity slip from its sight once again.”
