Chapter 398 – Arrival in Malaya

The matter about Alan Wilson was already internalized, and as soon as the preparations were completed to go to the appointment, this one was formally appointed as the British Consul in Boston!

So far, both Prime Minister Airdrie and Edward Bridges, Norman Brooke, believe that the independence of British Newfoundland is inevitable, so Allen Wilson to go is just a transition, the appointment of the consul of Boston is more important.

“Pamela, your fiancé this will be the governor?” Surrounding Pamela Mountbatten around the warblers and swallows seven mouths exclaimed, of course, mainly to praise the strength of the Mountbatten family.

“Annoying, it must be very hard to go to such a remote place.” The Governor’s wife whose heart was blossoming with joy waved her hand and her face looked distressed as she complained to her girlfriends around her.

“That is also the Governor ah, you are the Governor’s wife ……” A group of noblewomen did not mince words and praised, multilayered and multidimensional to make Pamela Mountbatten the focus.

Alan Wilson, who had already arrived in Bonn, did not know that his fiancée’s vanity had swelled, but it was human nature to know and not say anything.

“I want simple living supplies for ten thousand people, like bed frames and such.” Allen Wilson, who got off the airplane from Bonn Airport, met the Dragon Rider Sisters to talk about small things first, and the main thing could be talked about later.

“Chainsaw thing I have contacted with the Steele family, because of winter heating, last winter was also unusually cold, coal can’t solve all the problems, a lot of people are logging for warmth, chainsaw is not a more sensitive product, production has been resumed long ago.” Bokina watched Alan Wilson also step into the room and said, “Andreas has already said that there is no problem with production capacity, but where to get the bed frame?”

“What about the barracks in pre-war Germany? There really isn’t enough for a concentration camp will do, I just don’t believe that people in concentration camps sleep on the floor.” Alan Wilson thoughtlessly said, “It’s not like Germany can use it now, it’s just right for me.”

“Concentration camp incarcerated people really pretty much sleep on the floor, I’ll think of something on the pre-war barracks.” Bokina sighed, “What’s that far away but cold, and you’re going too.”

“That’s not a problem, it’s definitely warmer than Siberia.” Alan Wilson joked, but didn’t see the slightest hint of an unnatural expression on the woman’s face and thought he’d noticed something.

A couple of hours later, after a bit of a lecture, Allen Wilson skillfully pulled back the chainsaw and gave it a couple of strokes, and said to Andreas Steele, the head of the Steele family, “Somewhat out of place, I’m going to have to tall the chainsaw, and you’re going to have to add a one-piece handle in this position.”

At least as far as he could remember, it seemed that the folk around him, both work and folk, were all native to the old Willow State high handled chain saws, which were green in color and were the most commonly used chain saws in forestry production.

“There’s no problem with the weight, just add a high handle. Single person chainsaw does not need to be so picky. I’ll take 10,000 of them if the cost can be kept down.” Alan Wilson cheerfully said of, “Mr. Andreas sending me an extra one should be no problem.”

“Of course there is no problem, I will control the cost as much as possible. Help Mr. Allen with his difficulties.” Andreas Steele expressed no problem.

“It’s fine for the factory to ship directly to Newfoundland, there’s no need to get enough together to ship in.” Alan Wilson nodded his head, “It will be used directly when the time comes, for Mr. Andreas Steele’s help, I’m personally very grateful, if there’s anything I need anywhere, I’m willing to help within my ability. By the way, there are also band saws, please rest assured that it is absolutely not to plunder anything, and purchase them at normal prices.”

As the world’s number one chainsaw brand in the latter half of the world, Alan Wilson helped the other side once how is not a loss. In the field of machinery German manufacturing reputation, recovery is a matter of time.

As for band saws, in 1808 the Englishman Newbury invented the band saw machine, which was not adopted due to the production of saw teeth and welding technology at that time. After fifty years, France was the first to succeed in making a production band saw machine for woodworking, and it was universally adopted. Although band saws appeared later than circular saws and frame saws, they were the most widely used.

As for the band saw machine’s biggest advantage, Allen Wilson believes that it is powerful, the efficiency of the circular saw and the band saw machine is far from it.

Waiting for the other party to leave, Allen Wilson lowered his voice and said to Bokina, “Has this company taken a stake in it?”

“No, you didn’t say that either.” Bokina whispered with some surprise, “Isn’t it just a chainsaw seller?”

“Now you can find a way to talk about it, and don’t force the purchase, keep your patience sooner or later there will be an opportunity.” Alan Wilson also instructed two more sentences, afraid of this woman a head, really rely on the support of the British Occupied Territories Trade Commission to take advantage of the situation.

Because of the war, Germany has more women and fewer men, Allen Wilson physically to solve the problem of the needs of the Dragoon Rangers, this is not too much, right, and not himself, a lot of British people have come to Germany has been accomplished cross-border marriage.

Anyway, it is the domestic women first unfaithful in the first, these retired soldiers from Germany to find a younger, more progressive women, naturally divorced without hesitation.

Of course, for the British of the Board of Trade, the cost of marriage is still too high, the mistress is significantly more cost-effective. Although also made a lot of German girls unmarried children thing, but as long as covered tightly who knows?

“Actually, I’m half blasphemous to you guys.” Dining with the Dragoon Sisters, and bathing together, and finally at the break, Ellen Wilson began to express her dismay at the impending departure for Newfoundland.

You’re about to shove two little balls in, and you still don’t have blasphemy? Anna whitened Allen Wilson, and mentally slurred how much more blasphemy was needed?

“Post-war reconstruction actually also needs timber, I estimate that the next few years will be the peak of construction in Europe, the demand for timber is huge, if the German side can show some goodwill towards Newfoundland, I believe it will also be appreciated by the residents of Newfoundland.” Alan Wilson also did not forget to advertise the place where he went to.

“What good would it do me.” Bokina said in mock displeasure, “In gratitude it is also a British colony, not German.”

“Any favor you want, I’ll do whatever I can.” Alan Wilson gambled, stating that any price would be paid for the well-being of the people of Newfoundland.

“Is that so?” Bokina stretched out her onion-like fingers and tapped the man’s lips, and said expectantly, “Actually, I don’t have any special request, that is, I also want to experience the coquettishness of an imperial civil servant.”

“I want it too, I want it too.” Anna on the other side heard and said that she must have her share as well.

Alan Wilson boarded the plane to Rome, and had to go through constant transfers to get to Malaya.

Looking down at the sea below, his gaze was so calm that he seemed to be able to smell the ocean through the window; the Governor had sacrificed so much for the well-being of the inhabitants of Newfoundland.

As for the Indians of the subcontinent, this is a day of great joy, there are small rumors circulating that the Viceroyalty of British India is going to be paid, don’t care where the news comes from. Can’t read a word of the Indians also don’t care what the so-called universal money is the consequences, they only know to send money on the truth of the matter on the line, who stands in the way of who is the enemy of the whole of India.

All of this ultimately and Alan Wilson has nothing to do, India for him has been the past tense, he is now going to struggle for the future of Newfoundland, there is nothing in his heart that must be left in Newfoundland to do the British part of the idea that can do the best, can not do the head of Whitehall has also been assured that it will not affect their own future.

In fact, from knowing his appointment and the Boston consul, Alan Wilson heart to understand, London on Newfoundland is really not in the eyes, in all fairness this attitude is very infuriating.

British Newfoundland is next to the French St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, compared to more than 400,000 square kilometers of Newfoundland, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, only two hundred square kilometers, after several decades can not be self-sufficient, but also need to be subsidized by the French government.

Because the soil and climatic conditions are unsuitable for agricultural production, there is only a small amount of vegetable cultivation, pig and egg poultry production. Even so, France is willing to pay this money, preferring to keep the residents of the island rather than put this more than 200 square kilometers of land independence, colonial era, although France lost in the hands of the British, but at least in the attitude is no problem.

Sometimes think about if France did not lose the Seven Years’ War, it is possible that today the main body of France has already been transferred to North America, and the United States is conducting the Cold War in North America, it is certainly not like the United Kingdom to give up the fruits of the struggle of their ancestors.

The two world wars Britain is suffered a heavy blow, but compared to France is completely worthless, France are able to retain a lot of overseas territories, the foundation of the better Britain but lost nothing left, is it really the island thinking has a natural flaw?

Since Malaya as the center of British India’s post-independence colonies, together with the Krakatau Isthmus obtained from Thailand and Burma, the local colonies have taken the merger, belonging to the Malayan sub-Straits Colony as well as the Federation of Malaya, the Malay States, together with East Malaysia Sabah Sarawak, merged into British Malaya.

Alan Wilson’s plane landed in Kuala Lumpur, got off the plane directly to the local colonial institutions. There was no governor of British Malaya, and after the war the High Commissioner of British Malaya exercised authority as a representative of the British Empire, the High Commissioner was Gerald Edward, and it was this British representative who was not the governor that Alan Wilson sought.

On the way to the Commissioner’s Office, Alan Wilson also observed the state of life in Kuala Lumpur, but time was short, and he was not the administrator of the place, so he only took a cursory glance.

There was nothing polite about it, and after meeting Gerald Edward and shaking hands in a friendly manner, Allen Wilson’s first words were, “Commissioner Gerald, we have been in touch many times by telegraph, and I hope you will be able to help me on this visit to Malaya.”
