Chapter 484 – Elizabethan Iron Mines

People are not fish with only a seven-second memory after all, and the citizens of the British Empire are believed not to have forgotten what happened ten years ago.

Alan Wilson found it undesirable and downright insulting to one’s intelligence, but it was indeed a great achievement regarding the Soviet Union’s decision to withdraw some of the Soviet troops in Germany and adopt a de-escalation posture.

Ernest Bevin, the Foreign Secretary, was known decades later as Britain’s last diplomat. But in fact the foreign secretary was not in the best of health, and the office of foreign secretary, basically, can be said to have been spent among the cabinet and the hospital.

Historically it was just a few years after the war that a series of guidelines were set regarding the UK in the Cold War period, and then he resigned as Foreign Secretary for health reasons and went on to become a Minister of the Seal.

Theoretically the Chancellor was a higher position than the Foreign Secretary, but this was not a time when the monarch’s authority was high. In today’s British Cabinet, the Chancellor of the Peace is more of a high-status position of leisure.

However, the Chancellor is usually the same person as the leader of the House of Lords or the House of Commons, so he is still widely respected.

After signing the agreement on the establishment of a transparency mechanism, as well as the Soviet Union’s willingness to withdraw some of the Soviet troops in Germany as a gesture of détente, this visit to the Soviet Union is actually considered to be the end of the journey.

As for Alan Wilson himself, then carry out a put down the bowl scolding work, write a report on the shortcomings of the planned economy, said the Soviet Union’s economic model impracticality, emphasizing that our Great Britain to combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism is the right way.

Of course it was all under the leadership of the great Prime Minister Adderley that the British Empire was able to achieve what it did, ending rationing in the first place and achieving the fastest recovery of any European country.

“All planners of a planned economy, insofar as they are human beings, necessarily derive their experience from the past rather than from the future, and so the economic and social form planned by those planners is bound to become progressively entrenched, obsolete, and lifeless. This form is incapable of evolving new possibilities on its own, or of accommodating foreign unplanned and non-standard economic elements.”

“There are many factors in economic development that cannot be quantified, just as economists do not understand the economy, the economy itself is full of uncertainty, and it was inevitable that the Soviet economy would have problems ……”

Then the words changed, and the report stated that the Soviet Union could not be compared to Britain, “For example, if we make a bench, before we make it, we already know what the finished product will probably look like, so we can plan for the raw materials and labor hours. Personally, I think the current government’s nationalization of established industries that already exist as a safeguard for all British citizens, but without abandoning support for private enterprise to make them innovate, is far more viable than the Soviet Union.”

Prime Minister Adderley, holding the report at 10 Downing Street, almost wanted to memorize this one, thinking he might be able to use it when he faced questioning in Parliament.

This piece of essentially Soviets can not, I Great Britain can, is Allen Wilson on his experience of this visit to the Soviet Union summary, then Allen Wilson took leave of absence to Germany, after the completion of the leave of absence, he will return to the United States to continue to be the Boston consul, and McCarthy to establish a deep friendship.

Regarding the establishment of the Paris Woodpecker Company, Allen Wilson has just been informed, after all, entertainment news has a higher degree of dissemination, Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman returned to Europe to start a business, he personally, of course, is supportive.

European women should stay in Europe, more inside the movie connotation of the image of the American redneck, Allen Wilson will feel that his previous help is worth it.

Embracing the baby boy that Bo Gina gave birth to, Allen Wilson had a happy face, if this was seventeen hundred years ago, he felt that he was definitely a prime minister.

Bojina looked at Cao Thief’s heartfelt smile and also smiled as if she was relieved, finally, the risk of giving birth to this baby boy was worth it, and opened her mouth to ask for advice, “How about calling it Koch? Too bad it can’t have your last name.”

“There’s nothing wrong with the last name Heilmann, I’m sure the brothers will be something to look up to in the future.” Alan Wilson teased the baby in his arms and laughed, “How could it not be gratifying to have such a beautiful lady give birth to my lovely baby. As it is, Germany is now recovering as far as the eye can see.”

It’s a no-brainer who paid the greater price in WWII, Germany or Japan, it’s definitely Germany.

Japan’s WWII personnel losses were small, property losses were small, screw it, it was a net profit, and the actual destruction of the Japanese mainland by air raids were urban civilian settlements, which looked horrific, and the actual property losses were small, because high-altitude precision bombing did so little damage to Japan’s major industrial targets, that nighttime low-altitude incendiary bombardment of civilian neighborhoods was used to undermine the Japanese nation’s confidence in the war effort.

Germany’s population losses were far greater than Japan’s population losses in the middle of WWII. Trying to add a little more to that population loss depended on whether the Japanese POWs in Malaya were still holding out. After all, the Japanese Confederate POWs in Malaya were very well used and solved a great deal of difficulties for the local colonial government.

Alan Wilson expressed goodwill towards the Dragoons’ homeland, although it was all but inevitable that once the German economy recovered, it would lead to a rise in British hostility towards Germany due to the imitation of British products.

Britain had nothing better to do in response than to bicker a bit over intellectual property rights. Germany’s initial industrial goods for continental European foreign trade were still modeled after British and French products, and competed against the continental market through process upgrades and cost controls that kept product selling prices down. This imitation in Gerschenkron’s definition becomes a latecomer’s advantage.

Late-comer advantage is nominally to utilize the existing technology and then promote technological progress, but in essence, it is to counterfeit and copy the existing technological achievements, and then form an industrial cluster and then digest and innovate into their own brands.

Who let the old imperialist countries probably all sub ah a level in it, the United Kingdom can not expect Germany forever kneeling on the ground to get up, depending on that time Malaya can not catch the British transfer of industry. If you can catch it, you can still hold Germany down a step.

Being Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman, arrived in Bonn for an inspection, very coincidentally Allen Wilson was also here. After months of sailing, the Crown Prince and his wife arrived in Australia.

Australia’s King is George VI, so it is no surprise that Crown Prince Elizabeth is the future Queen of the great Australia, and this arrival of the Crown Prince in Australia has made Australian folk very excited.

Australia’s affection for the United Kingdom is still there, not to mention the image of the Crown Prince and his wife is very plus points, this arrival in Australia, by the unprecedented welcome is justified.

Australia is an important stop on the Crown Prince and his wife’s visit and it has been a month since they arrived.

Of course it is not without problems that the Crown Prince is able to manage, such as the problems of Australia and New Zealand, the Crown Prince said that he is inconvenient to interfere. At the turn of the century, the Australian colonies were converted into states to form the Commonwealth of Australia.

New Zealand almost joined Australia, when the six colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia staged a referendum to formalize their independence and decided to merge to become a new country, and New Guinea later joined the Commonwealth of Australia as a British territory.

Later New Zealand also declared independence. Australia had particularly wanted to recruit New Zealand as a state, but it was delayed by jurisprudential issues, and in fact there has always been a place for New Zealand among the founding documents retained by Australia.

On this the Crown Prince was of course not in a good position to take a position on the question, but fortunately life in Australia during the last month had been quite pleasant, and there had not been many similar annoyances.

“It seems as if Pamela has been odd since yesterday.” Princess Margaret came to the Crown Prince’s sister’s bedroom with a strange look on her face, “I don’t know what’s wrong.”

“Maybe it’s contact with Alan?” Crown Princess Elizabeth smiled gently, “This time out is not short. It’s perfectly normal for Pamela to miss her fiancé.”

In fact, it’s almost the same, Pamela Mountbatten is reading her fiancé’s call back, although she doesn’t know what Alan Wilson is doing, but she is able to feel the importance from between the lines, “Then the honorable Queen of the Iron Ore Mine, since it has been found, if you feel that the time is right, you should announce it, but I suggest that you should still refrain from the issue of the amount of reserves above and be ready to get the biggest portion of the reserve, and don’t attract the prying eyes of the Americans. As for the name, if the Crown Prince doesn’t mind, it’s more symbolic to call it the Elizabeth Iron Mine, and it just so happens that the Crown Prince is still visiting Australia, which is sort of the luck that the Crown Prince brings.”

Got the fiancé’s congratulations, Pamela Mountbatten’s face was full of smiles, put the telegram away, directly out of the room, ready to discuss with Crown Prince Elizabeth, whether to publish this news, if published in what way is more appropriate.

She set up the exploration company, can be said to have been wandering around in Australia for a year, to say that there is no pressure at all is a lie, to know that alone she owes debts to twenty dukes.

By the end of the day, it was finally the iron ore that her fiancé had bitten off more than he could chew that existed, which made Pamela Mountbatten excited.

“Iron ore?” Crown Prince Elizabeth is full of consternation, for this news she is some on the surprise, although iron ore is the most common mineral resources, but Australia has long been not considered to be, a country that exists iron ore.

For Pamela Mountbatten barbaric in this piece of desolate continent looking for iron ore, Crown Prince Elizabeth naturally not good to say anything, but also did not hold much hope, but today, even really have the news of iron ore.

“Crown Prince, of course it’s true, Allen asked me to seek your opinion.” Pamela Mountbatten opened her mouth with gusto, mentioning her fiancé’s name, causing the Love Brain in the same room to frown slightly.
