Chapter 428.

“I hear Mr. Gandhi is dead!” After some whispering, Hillenkoetter let the men who had come in to report the news go out, and prepared some heavy tones to Allen Wilson.

“Really!” Alan Wilson was overjoyed, but at once a whole change came over his face, and he strained his face to make a queer expression, “I mean, it’s such a tragedy, and Mr. Gandhi was such a respectable man.”

“Oh, a tragedy indeed.” As soon as he saw the expression of the Englishman in front of him, Major General Hillenkoetter knew what was really going on in the other party’s mind, “Mr. Gandhi’s death is a loss to the whole world.”

“I couldn’t agree more with that.” Alan Wilson pursed his lips, unwilling to spoil the atmosphere at this moment, “The loss of the Mahatma who guarded India’s nature and the harmony of mankind is a loss to the entire human race.”

“That’s true!” Major General Hillenkoetter understood that, in reality, only the urban middle class worried about protecting the countryside because they didn’t have to live there.

Major General Hillenkoetter awarded the medal in passing as a recognition of Alan Wilson’s wartime achievements, and also for political reasons; after all, a medal, though precious, was still very cheap compared to the relationship between country and country.

Alan Wilson was Mountbatten’s son-in-law, and with Mountbatten now back in London, the British India experience would have no effect on Mountbatten’s own career, according to current news.

This is exactly what has happened, and many people here are again talking about Mountbatten’s personal aspirations and future postings. Some say he may go into politics, some say he may go into business; others say he will become a civilian Defense Secretary. In reality, all these speculations were simply irrelevant.

Mountbatten’s determination to return to the Navy never wavered, and his ambition was simply to follow in his father’s footsteps and eventually become First Sea Lord. There was only one way to realize his ambition – to return to the Royal Navy.

On the third day after his return, Mountbatten applied to the head of the Navy. As Mountbatten had retained his commission in the Royal Navy, there was no obstacle to his return, but it was a headache for the Navy chiefs to arrange a suitable position for him in the highly hierarchical Royal Navy. He had served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Southeast Asian theater and had also just been Viceroy of India.

Eventually, at Mountbatten’s own insistence, he was able to return to the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet, where he continued to be commander of his own First Cruiser Fleet, taking care of the security of the Suez Canal, which, as we all know, was of great importance to Britain.

And in the middle of the military base in the north of Newfoundland, together with Canada, the British, American and Canadian intelligence cooperation meeting has been held.

Although Alan Wilson was the local chief executive and a member of MI6, he was not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, and of course he wasn’t interested, inside the meeting there was also the boss of the Cambridge Five in it, which was even more ironic than him joining as an intelligence officer who was cheating a medal.

There is this opportunity he might as well shush his father-in-law, after all, Mountbatten but just happened to be in charge of the Suez Canal, in fact, alone on the causes and consequences of the Suez Canal War.

Alan Wilson felt that the outbreak of the war is very nonsensical, if he really let him honestly, from the outbreak of the Suez Canal War when the prime minister, Robert Anthony Aiden’s reaction before and after the outbreak of the war, his first intuitive reflection is that the prime minister is selling out the country.

Perhaps there is no truth in that reaction, but the point is that Prime Minister Aidan’s before and after reaction was too much like that of a traitor who had penetrated our country, and the outbreaks were all quite unwarranted.

Regardless of whether or not another Tory sell-out was involved, Alan Wilson felt that Mountbatten’s return to the Mediterranean Fleet was a good thing for him, and it was great to hear that his old boss, Sir Barron, had gone to the Persian Gulf.

Civil servants who served faithfully for the Empire always found a suitable place to continue to shine.

Alan Wilson, with the Distinguished Intelligence Merit Badge, remained deep in his own acreage while conducting intelligence meetings in the north, with a shipload of timber arriving in Europe every day from the harbor.

“I didn’t realize you had that to your credit?” Ingrid Bergman fiddled with the medal awarded to Allen Wilson and tsked, “I didn’t realize that someone like you was a war hero.”

“What do you mean someone like me? What’s wrong with me!” Alan Wilson balked at that, “Ingrid, let’s be honest, I’m good to anyone I know well right. It’s time tested.”

“That’s true, but it’s a little too good.” Ingrid Bergman said unapologetically, she was really afraid that she would get pregnant if she continued to stay in Newfoundland, “You little twerp, isn’t it very fulfilling to have fooled Vivian and the rest of us with all that you have learned in the field of intelligence.”

“You can’t say that, is it wrong for me to follow my heart? It’s normal for any male to have some thoughts when faced with a woman like you guys, right?” As Alan Wilson spoke, he started to arch inside Ingrid Bergman’s big bosom, not denying the fact that he followed his heart.

“I really can’t do anything about you ……,” whispered a voice from the room, followed by a sound of clothes falling.

Before a few of Vivienne’s people returned, the two men had become orthopedic, Ingrid Bergman blushing and clearly quite pleased with Alan Wilson’s handiwork.

The simple and boring life of the Governor of Newfoundland continued, as did the gradually easing financial situation of Newfoundland proper, which was moving in a good direction.

After all, it was time to leave, the four Hollywood guests, completed the shooting in Newfoundland, will return to the United States to look for television cooperation will be aired in the promotional film.

In the final moments, Vivien Lei simply do not even pretend, live directly across the street from the Governor’s Mansion, she hoped that in the final moments of Newfoundland, there is a man who can wrap his arms around himself and let himself sleep.

Alan Wilson sent these actresses to the harbor the next day, and considering Vivien Leigh’s emotions, spoke up, “I have a job with the Boston Consulate, and after Newfoundland is on the right track, I’ll look for an opportunity to visit you in the United States.”

“Must go!” Vivienne whispered, “Even in brightly colored flowers need to be well cared for before they are ready.”

“That’s right, I’m the kind of bull shit that thieves have strength.” Alan Wilson does not mind self-hacking at all, smugly said, “Used to feed the many flowers bloom more beautiful. In fact, the one who is worried should be me, I am nothing but a humble social utility, how can I compare with you actresses who are embraced by millions of people?”

“Quite a sense of crisis huh? Do you want Vivian to embroider your name on your panties so that you can be intimate.” Ingrid Bergman came over and was so full of tiger talk that she embarrassed Vivienne.

“It’s amazing that you’ve been able to have such a popularity in Hollywood, there’s no other explanation than an overly good physical condition.” Alan Wilson took a deep breath, not knowing whether he should be angry or not, angry seems to be too petty, but if there is no reaction, this breath is somewhat swallowed.

Until a few actresses on the boat, Allen Wilson still pinching his waist standing at the pier, how to think more and more angry?

Newfoundland’s work Allen Wilson has been familiar with, after all, a place of less than 200,000 citizens, and the former British India can not be compared to the work, he returned to his old job.

Subliminally manipulating public opinion, stirring up discussion about whether it was better to maintain the current state of affairs or revert back to being a self-governing territory, the siege fell on the option of merging with Canada.

This subconsciously eliminates Canada from the options for future discussion. That leaves only two options. Either become independent as a self-governing territory or become part of the UK.

The advantage of becoming a self-governing territory was that Newfoundland timber, which had penetrated the European market, and the revenues from Newfoundland’s own fisheries, belonged to Newfoundland itself.

The advantage of maintaining the status quo was that the vast European market, with the help of the British mainland could make it easier for Newfoundland products to enter, and Britain was so far away that Newfoundland was still practically self-governing, and the Royal Navy could be borrowed to protect the Newfoundland fisheries that belonged to Newfoundland, so there were advantages to each in general.

Of course Adderley’s announcement that a welfare society had been built was also under discussion as a way of adding to the theory of maintaining the status quo.

This kind of work was not new to Allen Wilson, he was personally familiar with it from his early days in British India, only before it was done left and right with Indian mouths, now it was done left and right with the Newfoundlander population.

Of course this was still far from enough, and after Mountbatten had returned home, Pamela Mountbatten had managed to get a full load, and had telegraphed that she would take the time to come and see her fiancé.

Allen Wilson, of course, expressed his thoughts in the middle of the telegram, but also made a well-timed complaint that he did not want to end his first overseas tour of duty with the same face as his fiancée’s father as the last administrator of Newfoundland.

Alan Wilson’s tone in the telegram was aggrieved, as if persecuted by Whitehall.

“Where can I help you?” Again receiving a telegram from Pamela Mountbatten, Alan Wilson understood that it was time for a true confession.

“If at an appropriate time, our honorable Crown Prince and his wife can make a trip to Newfoundland, it may cause a very warm reaction to the local residents, and at that time, the residents of Newfoundland, whose economy has been rejuvenated, will also feel the importance of the Crown Prince and his wife, and then at the top of the referendum, it is very likely that there will be a bias in favor of the result of the referendum. ”

After an interval of one day, Pamela Mountbatten’s telegram again arrived in St. John’s, it reads, “I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Elizabeth, the exploration company has the Crown Prince’s shares, she should not refuse me.”
