Chapter 443 – The Crown Prince’s Recognition

One thing that the Newfoundland administrator could feel quite bluntly was that the old Buddha in his youth was indeed very much taking points, both in terms of looks and dress.

If there is such a thing as British style, it is reflected in the Crown Prince and his wife.

Crown Prince Elizabeth with god-colored gloves, and the hands of the purse color consistent, looks very solemn, of course, there is the British royal family’s iconic hat, British ladies rarely do not wear a hat, because in public to show the hair is considered to be not in line with the etiquette, as for Prince Philip is wearing a military dress, there is also a shiny badge on it.

The image of the golden boy and girl immediately conquered the hearts of the citizens of Newfoundland, people are after all a visual animal, who has something that attracts the eye, naturally have a good feeling.

In fact, Alan Wilson truthfully said that he felt that the face value of that love brain was actually better, only he did not say it, leading the Crown Prince couple to arrive at the residence, but also did not forget to instill private goods to his fiancée, slandering important members of the royal family.

“My dear, I didn’t expect both princesses to come out, and His Honorable Majesty even agreed. It makes me feel a lot of pressure.” Alan Wilson looked at the Crown Prince and his wife who were heading to be warmly cheered, and carefully said.

“She insisted on following, and His Majesty and the Crown Prince are also having a headache.” Pamela Mountbatten softly consoled, “I know you see her with some preconceived notions, but it’s okay. Furthermore, don’t slander important members of the royal family.”

“Ms. Pamela, how dare I?” Alan Wilson decisively admitted his mistake, reserving the right to do it again next time.

But there was no doubt that the arrival of Crown Prince Elizabeth and Prince Philip, as Crown Princes of the British Empire, had succeeded in capturing the hearts and minds of the citizens of Newfoundland, and Alan Wilson felt that if a referendum were to be held now, it would be a big deal straight away.

That in itself was also an important purpose for him, a purpose that was at least clear in the mind of Pamela Mountbatten.

Given that the Crown Prince and his wife had long been accustomed to the dark cuisine of the British Empire, Alan Wilson did not take out the fancy food of the Chinese workers to entertain the Queen, except for some more buns, the rest are left to him, the humble social commons are better.

“The Chinese laborers in Newfoundland kinda embrace their sister.” Princess Margaret was curious about the buns, but with the Crown Prince and his wife around, she was too embarrassed to make a move.

Just such a moment of effort, the already small number of buns had already entered Alan Wilson’s stomach, after careful consideration, this kind of original unknown food, although it is the Chinese workers to express their welcome to the Crown Prince and his wife, but it still has a certain degree of danger.

As the administrator of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson decided to help the Crown nip this danger in the bud.

This caused Princess Margaret to be quite displeased, even the bow on her neck shook and puffed as she looked at Alan Wilson.

“Essentially, I’ve been thinking about this solution ever since Pamela told me about the inheritance tax. After the job placement in Newfoundland, there was a clear vision.” It was also the first time Alan Wilson had spoken so face-to-face in front of the Crown Prince and his wife, but was it? Key politicians never had the courage to border on stupidity, and it just so happened that he did.

“A colony has the benefits of a colony, of course that terminology may be less politically correct in the future, and is better described as a royal domain.” Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, “It’s not a homeland, and naturally it doesn’t have to abide by homeland regulations. Regarding the upcoming referendum, I think it would be better to split it into four options, incorporate into Canada, which of course I don’t want. Re-emerge as a self-governing territory, this option is acceptable. Incorporation into the UK, but that’s still difficult considering how politically difficult it could be in London at the moment, and the natives shouldn’t want to, for long, lose their power. Then there is the option of becoming a royal fiefdom.”

The British royal family certainly has its own territories, such as the Isle of Man. Legally, the island is not part of the UK nor the Commonwealth, nor the EU or the UN, but is a British Crown Dependency.

The Isle of Man is not an empty island with no value, but a place where tens of thousands of people live, and although there is no clear relationship, it is after all the Crown’s private domain, so the people here are also British nationals, but at some point will be specifically marked as Manx people.

The Isle of Man has a high degree of autonomy, but the security part of the island has always been in charge of the British side, from this point of view it is still quite indicative of the identity of the royal family’s private territory.

“A crown dependency?” If you ask Crown Prince Elizabeth if she agrees, of course she does, who wouldn’t?

“Yes, the Crown Dependency, in fact, Newfoundland self-governance has not been short, only because of financial problems canceled the parliament.” Alan Wilson considered with a thoughtful face, “That could be a real problem if it were to be incorporated into the mainland. And we have to consider the American factor, Newfoundland is not a small place in terms of size after all. By comparing the four options, I’m actually most inclined towards the royal domain option.”

“With direct administration, there might be some political problems with London considering Newfoundland as part of the national territory. If it’s a self-governing territory or a royal territory, the problem is much smaller, and above self-governing territories and royal territories, I’m still more inclined towards the latter.”

Saying this Alan Wilson looked to his fiancée, Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head knowingly, “If it is incorporated into the UK, the laws will be the same as the mainland, the same regulations, and there will still be nothing to hide for many families.”

“But without the support of the homeland, will there be problems in development?” Prince Philip frowned, it can’t always rely on fishing for a living, it’s seasonal work, not all year round.

“Honorable Prince, the most difficult time for this matter lies in the next few years, in fact, every day that passes Newfoundland’s development will be better.” Alan Wilson laughed, to know that the twenty-first century British hands are not one or two tax havens, even the Isle of Man, in fact, can also be considered a tax haven.

The per capita income of the Isle of Man Crown Dependency is roughly one-fifth higher than that of the British mainland, and that’s if the Isle of Man itself doesn’t have many resources, but Newfoundland is not like that, with its fisheries and forestry, not to mention the fact that once the oil fields are found.

There’s one of the largest fisheries in the world, a tax haven bonus, a sort of rich forestry resource, plus oil. In terms of Newfoundland’s population, what with Saudi Arabia later on it’s just a figure of speech.

Qatar’s per capita is not difficult for Newfoundland, Alan Wilson feels that there are so many conditions plus Newfoundland, how per capita shall not be richer than Canada and the United States a two times?

When the time comes, it’s the concept of Macau people looking at people from other places! When you’re in a position to stand out from the rest, will you listen to some poorer places pointing fingers?

When the US says that Newfoundland would be richer if it were independent, Newfoundland will look at a bunch of poor people in the south and smile on the surface.

As for how it works, after receiving assurances from the Crown Prince and Mrs. Crown Prince, as well as Love Brain, Alan Wilson began to explain the maneuvering involved, and the Anglican leader of the British Empire nodded frequently.

“And it can be clearly seen that whether it’s the Labor Party or the Conservative Party, whether it’s Adderley or Churchill, where do they have any influence over their subjects in many places?” Alan Wilson mentioned the question of influence, “Can the native Labor Party command the Australian Labor Party? Can Churchill speak to the Canadian Conservative Party? Neither can, but you, the Honorable Crown Prince and Mrs. Crown Prince, have such influence that you can’t interfere in the policies of these places either, but you can achieve your ends in other ways that the native parties can’t.”

“The citizens of Newfoundland also honor the arrival of the Crown Prince and his wife, but if it had been Churchill or Prime Minister Adderley, there would never have been such a welcome as there is today.”

“Alan, Pamela has always said that you were busy in Newfoundland, and now this seems like a very heartwarming vision.” Crown Prince Elizabeth nodded her head in recognition, “If Newfoundland can become a royal territory, I promise to do so with as little interference from London as possible.”

“I’m sure the citizens of Newfoundland would be thrilled with that.” Alan Wilson nodded with a smile.

There were some things that the Crown Prince and his wife did that had great symbolic significance, and Allen Wilson would not be able to do those jobs.

For example, Crown Prince Elizabeth who arrived in Newfoundland, expressed her grief as well as gratitude for the sacrifices made by Newfoundland in defending Britain in the two world wars, this is something Allen Wilson can’t do, even if it’s Adderley who does this, it’s not even close to being meaningful.

But the royal family stepped in to express such an attitude, it is very touching to the citizens of Newfoundland, Crown Prince Elizabeth also suggested that the administrator of Newfoundland, that is, Alan Wilson to carry out the cemetery restoration work.

“Pamela, have you seen the large posters on the streets of St. John’s? They’re all so beautiful, and my gut tells me that your fiancé is related to these women.” Princess Margaret quietly rushed to Pamela Mountbatten to expound, about her new discovery in Newfoundland.

“Margaret, don’t think too much!” Pamela Mountbatten took Princess Margaret’s hand and whispered a reminder, “What an important occasion for us to say these things in private.”

Crown Princess Elizabeth’s public speech this time was very effective, and also mentioned about Alan Wilson raised several issues, said that in the next trip, will talk to Newfoundland’s neighbors, talk about the issue of cross-border fishing, and hopefully can be responded to.

Crown Prince Elizabeth already knew yesterday that Allen Wilson’s thieving operation was a thief. Now that she knows how this operation works, it is natural to just put her seal on it and imply that she is already aware of the thefts by Canadian and American fishermen; it is never okay to say it explicitly, but it is okay to imply it.

The statement of the heir to the British Empire caused a cheer, and having only just arrived in Newfoundland, Crown Prince Elizabeth conquered the hearts of the citizens of Newfoundland.
