Chapter 349 The Critical Heart

He had been working hard in British India for more than a year, he always had some friends, after all, it was also a long period of time to run east and west busy, how could he not have accumulated a little network? For example, the major Turkish states, and families including but not limited to Tata and Birla.

Squatting in the telegraph room Allen Wilson?Famous words, do not take the opportunity to give gifts, if it is unavoidable, the gift is light on the line, judge this scale for yourself.

“Said the great righteousness, specifically in the telegram inside plus this sentence, not just want to receive gifts?” Pamela Mountbatten bristled, unimpressed by Allen Wilson’s sympathy.

“Even if that’s the case, you can’t say it.” Alan Wilson’s face flushed, then boasted, “For the contributions I’ve made to the British Empire, don’t I deserve this treatment now?”

“Does your contribution refer to corruption?” Pamela Mountbatten snickered, changing tricks to anger Alan Wilson.

“How is it that there is no contribution, it is not that I am busy all the time in British India …… Forget it, you don’t understand even if I say it to you.” Words to the mouth Allen Wilson and raw choked back, not to do verbal argument with women.

What he wanted to say was that if he hadn’t exerted his personal maximum potential and formulated a two-winged plan, the UK would have been able to generate a record six hundred million pounds of extra tax revenue last year?

And this without his contribution? The Malta class aircraft carriers have been kept open and have not been dismantled without being built as they have been historically.

Now aircraft carriers of the same class as Midway and carriers have been under construction without his credit?

Alan Wilson was aggrieved, he had given so much to this country, and if the Malta class carriers had been dismantled, the Royal Navy would have had to wait until the Queen Elizabeth class was commissioned in the 21st century to get back to being a heavy carrier.

The sea is the source of Britannia’s prosperity, the most important way to trade with the outside world, expand power and influence.

Whether it was to trade internationally in pounds sterling, or to bring in raw materials from the colonies and dump goods on them, it was all dependent on ocean shipping. For Britain, the sea was both the front line and the rear.

Wealth flowed in from the sea, and threats came from the sea. It was the countless ships that carried the world’s wealth into the British Isles around the clock for two hundred years, and the two fateful sea battles with the Coachman of the Seas and Spain, that brought this tiny island nation to world domination.

This is the fundamental reason why Britain does everything in its power to maintain one of the world’s most powerful navies.

At least for the time being, Britain is still not ready to be marginalized, the so-called Labor Party misrepresentation of the argument, Alan Wilson has never been treated as a joke, the only conclusive evidence at present is that British India is really going to be independent.

As for the rest? Alan Wilson remembers four things about the Conservative Party in different eras, in the middle of World War II, Churchill terminated the alloy tube program, believing in the American promise to merge it into the Manhattan Project, as a result, the United States was not prepared to share the fruits of the nuclear bomb after the war.

In 1956, the Conservative Prime Minister, Mr. Aidan, wanted to show off his old imperialist credentials and launched the Suez Canal War.

As a result, Britain and France were threatened by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the tiger skin was directly removed, proving before the world that Britain and France were no longer on equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union.

At the end of 1962, after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Conservative Prime Minister Macmillan and U.S. President John F. Kennedy signed the Nassau Agreement, under which the U.S. supplied Britain with Polaris submarine missiles on the condition that Britain would support the U.S. Multilateral Nuclear Forces Program, and that the U.S. would be able to use Britain’s nuclear strike forces through NATO, subordinating the British nuclear force to that of the United States.

Britain was only allowed to use its own nuclear forces if its supreme interests were seriously threatened.

Since then, Britain’s nuclear weapons have become what is known as a subordinate nuclear force without the right to use them independently.

Macmillan’s premiership also saw the Year of African Independence, when the number of colonies that broke away from Britain exceeded the size of British India.

This also led to, de Gaulle deciding that Britain was a puppet of the US and kept Britain out of the EEC.

By the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher had simply killed off British industry and de-industrialized it, and since then the British Empire has been all about finance.

From Churchill’s termination of the alloy tube program and Aidan’s humiliation in the Suez Canal War to Macmillan’s abandonment of an independent nuclear force and Thatcher’s de-industrialization, I really don’t know where there is any room to bring up the argument that Labour is a misnomer.

The appearance of any one of those four things would have been a million times greater than the mistakes made by Labor, let alone all of them. It’s a good thing that the British Empire was so well endowed that it managed to stay in bed until the 1980s.

How about the USSR, which was put down by a five-year plan of the Gothic map, my Great Britain is far superior to the USSR.

Churchill gave up the alloy tube program, Adderley came to power after to now still filling the pit, history until out of power, the successful test explosion of nuclear bombs, Alan Wilson hope that there are more financial resources to invest in the alloy tube program progress can be faster.

Even if it couldn’t oust the Soviet Union, it wouldn’t be too late, and it would be better to succeed before war broke out in Korea, so that there would certainly be more wiggle room in the face of the U.S. demand for troops.

With the Malta-class aircraft carriers, with nukes in hand, how the situation would be quite a bit stronger than it has been historically.

The news that Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten would be getting engaged at a date to be determined also caused ripples in modest London circles.

Prime Minister Airdrie’s main concern is the issue of British India, and if there is another issue, it is the restoration of the British-occupied territories, which can essentially be seen as one issue.

At present, the problem of British India is all about Mountbatten. Learning of the news that the Viceroy’s daughter is to be engaged, Prime Minister Aidley also sent a telegram to express his congratulations, and the same congratulatory telegram was sent by Churchill.

It was not only the politicians who congratulated, Edward Bridges and Norman Brooke were also informed of the news.

Norman Brooke, who held the telegram in his hand, couldn’t help but chuckle, “It seems that Allen isn’t just a professional on the colonial issue, but has a knack for it as well.”

“Then we’ll send a congratulatory telegram as well.” Edward Bridges thought for a moment and said, “If you can, transfer him back home, it’s basically a no-brainer except for that whole pharmaceutical company thing.”

“He’s even got a withdrawal plan in place, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.” Norman Brooke shook his head helplessly, “With such a subordinate, I don’t know if Baron should be happy or sad. But in the name of what, you know that people are excited to go straight to work in Malaya.”

The two men were not to understand what was the spirit of Alan Wilson, volunteering to work in the colonies.

But the British Empire needed such a shit-stirrer, especially among the diplomatic field, the most desirable people like Allen Wilson.

“Didn’t he ever mention anything about Europe among the telegrams?” Edward Bridges opened his mouth to inquire, “We can find out where we can use him.”

“Not for nothing, he’s been concerned about the sale of Soviet engines by Rollo and has mentioned it amongst a few telegrams. More than anything else, that would have been his main concern. Governor Mountbatten, I don’t know if he listened to him or not, also mentioned it once, saying that the Soviet Union, a country that disregarded intellectual property rights, demanded that the country make a review of Rollo’s foreign trade. Either simply do not sell, or ruthlessly rip off the Soviet Union, do not expect the Soviet Union will pay royalties on schedule”

Rollo’s engine foreign trade has been audited for several months, it is not that Allen Wilson has much face.

The one with the face was Mountbatten, the Governor-General of British India, and with the problems of British India being of such concern to the Prime Minister, it was only logical to respond to Mountbatten’s concern, and so it was being reviewed all the time.

Norman Brooke a few words down, the corner of his mouth has been unable to resist turning up, asked to Edward Bridges, “Edward, Potsdam conference, is not it just him to come out and talk to the Soviets?”

“I think ……” Edward Bridges drew out a long note and finally gave an affirmative answer, “Yes, let him come back and deal with the matter, see if you can dissuade him from going to work in the colonies, and settle down in the Foreign Office for a good for a while.”

“Then formally transfer him back after the pharmaceutical company and licenses are done and the engagement ceremony is over.” Norman Brooke hammered home the point that the question of the pharmaceutical company and license was still important, after all it had been the last big income for British India.

This Alan Wilson certainly did not agree with the words of the two heads of civil service, neither of them knew how happy all the heads of British Indian enterprises were at the moment, stealing and selling raw materials accumulated during the war on a large scale.

They certainly can’t just move their factories out of India, but can’t they sell to local entrepreneurs who need them?

There is another thing to congratulate is that his second iron box is finally full, Allen Wilson is like a farmer after the beginning of the fall harvest, full of the joy of harvest.

Sometimes happiness is so simple, do not need any grandiose scenes to set, just like he is now, although penniless, but the same life is very happy.

This time the gift is very in line with the standard of the gift is light, don’t always send those what tiger skin, cars and other conspicuous things, he also has to put too big gifts to sell.

Like now, get some according to the drag calculation but not conspicuous a blocking thing is quite good. It was in keeping with his two-sleeve character.

“Been watching for a couple minutes.” Pamela Mountbatten reached out and waved her hand in front of Alan Wilson’s eyes, “Drooling.”

“I’m feeling the depravity of gold-worshipping with all my heart. The only way to keep from being mesmerized by these things is to see them often.” Alan Wilson wiped the corners of his mouth and justified himself, “I’m not interested in money, and if I wanted to, business would be far more successful and easier than being a civil servant.”
