Chapter 336 The Deputy Prime Minister’s Bait

In the eyes of the Governor’s daughter, Alan Wilson was just a very nice man, could cook nice food, turned in all his paychecks, had ideals and the perseverance to stick to them in order to achieve his goals.

So far, she hadn’t found any flaws in the man, just a little bit of lust, always overly demanding when it came to conjugal life, but it wasn’t a big flaw, it was still comfortable, and the fact that the affair with the female subordinate had been proven to be a lie proved the man’s reliability.

“I heard my mother say that she even bought a Rolls I Royce sedan in order to marry my father in the first place. As a gift for father.” Pamela Mountbatten’s face was filled with longing as she talked about the past that her parents used to have.

“Then I have to work hard.” Once Alan Wilson heard this, he seriously opened his mouth to this Versailles maiden.

Rolls a Royce sedan? It was actually Rolls Royce, one of the corporate brands currently under the Rollo Company, the other one was called Bentley.

“I’ll give it to you, don’t you like it?” Pamela Mountbatten giggled, “You’re always giving me things, I have to think about you some, don’t all men like cars?”

“So it’s for me.” Alan Wilson a face to say this I’m not sleepy look, in fact, the heart does not think, left hand pour right hand, what to expect, are their own money.

With a solemn face, he opened his mouth, “Honey, I am a civil servant, if I drive an overly ostentatious seat. People will think I’m enriching myself while working for the country.”

As he spoke, Allen Wilson temporarily ignored the two iron boxes in the apartment, and the Führer’s seat parked in Bonn.

Indicating that he collected money in the colonies because many people in need of help had to. Back home it was different, he couldn’t hurt the legal rights of the native citizens.

A face that wants to make progress Allen Wilson, give this kind of answer, which makes Pamela Mountbatten very approving, she is very convinced that the image of this aspiring young man, after all, Bhutan Sikkim Nepalese representatives of the cheering, she is also witnessed.

After all, it was two large boxes of gold jewelry cultivated trust, although one of the boxes is not full, can not say unbreakable it, but also can say eight or nine.

Allen Wilson mentioned that he could not sit on his hands, but to find a way to purchase industries and create jobs to serve the British Empire, full of the spirit of ownership of the words, immediately received a mountainous effect in the eyes of Pamela Mountbatten, listening to the man pointing out the mountains.

“As a woman from a noble family, you can’t just think about living your own little life.”

Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head repeatedly, her fiancé had his own business and worked hard every day, she herself should also work hard to be able to do so, “That’s why you asked me to invest in the Comet airliner, and I’ve done everything you told me to do.”

“It’s not enough, aviation is an important industry for the country that’s worth taking the risk of investing in, even if it fails, in the end it’s still right for the Empire.” Alan Wilson followed the advice, “But creating jobs, in fact, it’s still necessary to invest some, it doesn’t seem to be a very profitable industry, without a good foundation, the building will be shaky in the end, don’t you think so?”

Ai Zhongtang began to teach lessons to the governor’s daughter again, wanting to do both, responsible for the empire and making money, in the future, there is no need for him to run for the country as a humble social public servant.

The British Empire needs a production base in the hands of control, to protect their own interests, even if the industry is transferred. Put in a place that can be controlled is also assured.

Alan Wilson has always believed that among the colonies left at present, only British Malaya is considered appropriate.

The area of about half a million square kilometers is completely sufficient, is the short-term population is still insufficient, but the Xiangjiang border has been open, the ratio of British Malaya’s community is rapidly drawing closer.

Drawing closer is still not enough, because Java is much closer, and the smuggling of Malays is much easier, and there will be some brainstorming to do in order to maintain the balance in the long run.

If there is going to be an industrial shift, it should be about the same time as the rise of Japan and Korea.

If Alan Wilson did not miscalculate, the time for British Malaya to receive industrial transfer should be ahead of Korea, if not at the same time as Japan.

Only the Japanese industrial transfer is the United States open market at the expense of British Malaya should be the European open market, in terms of pure technical difficulties, British Malaya is an advantage.

Japan was close to 100 million people before WWII, how else did the 100 million yuks slogan come about?

Unless it’s a satellite, British Malaya’s population is going to be far smaller than Japan’s for the foreseeable future. But the advantage is not without, the Strait of Malacca in hand, maritime transportation can be British Malaya take off to help.

Japan is a country that lacks everything, British Malaya is at least the world’s largest rubber producer. There are natural advantages of the industry exists.

Because there is an absolute gap in the number of people, Europe only needs to open up part of the market, so that British Malaya can achieve the same effect, plus the British Empire is currently able to help or a lot of the Middle East many countries of the oil in the hands of British companies.

So Alan Wilson’s career guidance to Pamela Mountbatten is the Formosa Plastics route.

It must be said that, in addition to the chip, the fraudulent island in a number of places is still a rotten boat there are three thousand nails, Formosa Plastics is one of the areas, resin is a kind of plastic, but most of the plastics are based on petroleum as a raw material, through the polymerization reaction or polycondensation reaction to get.

But not all. Many kinds of biodegradable plastics are not petroleum, conventional non-degradable plastics, the raw material is usually petroleum cracking products such as ethylene acetylene and so on.

As a colonial empire that hasn’t collapsed yet, the British Empire still has some power in the Persian Gulf, and the source of feedstock isn’t a problem. British Malaya itself is currently the world’s largest rubber exporter, resin is not a problem.

The automobile industry can’t make tires out of steel, can it? So a very prominent industry, if utilized well, can also provide a boost to other industries, so the advantage of the whole industry chain is here, the more complete the industry chain, the cost of each industry can be compressed lower, only almost no one can do it.

Similar to the Soviet Union is located in the frigid zone, the use of synthetic rubber, which is not as easy as the rubber trees of British Malaya.

However, if the Soviet Union can import British Malaya’s rubber, so that British Malaya benefits, that is also can talk about also can be patriotic good thing.

Over here in New Delhi, Alan Wilson was thinking about the future with his arm around the girl sitting on his lap. London, the heart of the British Empire, was not idle either, and two heads of the civil service, advised Prime Minister Adderley to let the wind out of the sails and get British India buzzing.

Currently the Viceroyalty has just been in the peripheral issues, so that the Congress Party is very uncomfortable in the heart, if this time and the colonial government to get into trouble would not be beautiful, a few more months to maintain the stability of the home economy can be a lot of benefits.

“We put the word out for a preliminary transfer of power? Identify the current Deputy Prime Minister of British India?” Adderley leaned back in his chair, pondering the suggestion made by the two civil service chiefs in front of him, and asked rhetorically, half-heartedly, “Transfer to whom?”

“In principle, both Nehru and Patel are politicians of high repute. Give it to whomever, though Patel’s supporters are a little more radical and Nehru’s a little more sensible. But for now, we are just putting the word out, not saying who is more suitable, and seeing how both react.”

Edward Bridges, returning from his vacation in Scotland, was in a good mood, or is it better to combine work and rest, isn’t this a vacation and a way to ruffle the Congress party?

Norman Brooke nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with the Cabinet Secretary’s suggestion, and went further, “Actually, it would be fine to discuss the discussion in the Congress, so that the Indians themselves would be concerned without us having to put out the word.”

“Also right! Discuss it for a few months first, and officially announce the candidate in September.” Adderley nodded, although he already had a candidate in mind, he also had the right not to announce it. To give another candidate hope.

The next day Alan Wilson learned the news, in fact, when you think about it, if it was officially appointed in September, Nehru had already been the Deputy Prime Minister of British India a year later than history.

This has nothing to do with him, what did he do wrong as a little assistant commissioner of British India?

It was only that he made the historically ignored drought known to all, and Nehru, who was supposed to take over as Deputy Prime Minister of British India, spent the year of 1946 in drought relief.

The whole of British India was fighting the drought, with one measure after another, and the newspapers were full of chicken blood.

Interspersed with work on the Sanitation Bill and so on, the year was so lively in British India that it led to London forgetting about the initial transfer of power, and by the way, Nehru, who was to be the Deputy Prime Minister of British India.

How was this a mistake, was it a mistake to go all out for disaster relief? Holding up Nehru as the ruler of India was only a minor fallout, and what was wrong with the leader of the country sacrificing a little for the well-being of hundreds of millions of people?

“Sir Edward means to see whether Nehru and Patel, in the end, have any ideas.” Sir Barron, who had received the news at the same time, seeing Alan Wilson’s silence, and thinking that he was dissatisfied with making the preliminary handover, explained, “It will also help to finalize the matter of the pound.”

“Yes, Sir Barron.” Alan Wilson nodded his head, finalizing the matter of the pound as the settlement currency was indeed a good opportunity, speaking, “Then I would like to go and prepare, to go and write comments to be published in the newspapers, focusing on analyzing the strengths of Nehru and Patel, and who is better suited to be the Deputy Prime Minister.”

Although he thought that in fact Prime Minister Eidley had someone in mind, it did not delay him from having to arch the fire.

In Parliament, Aidley offered to initially transfer power to India in September and put forward two names for the hallowed Congress to speak freely.

So the MPs did speak freely, with the Labor Party supporting Nehru and the Conservatives supporting Patel, and it was a very lively day in Parliament.
