Chapter 485 – The Detractor
Pamela Mountbatten didn’t notice the reaction of the love brain, but instead focused on praising her fiancé, it was Alan Wilson’s constant encouragement that made her dare to take the risk, believing that this continent of seven million square kilometers, there definitely existed a high-quality iron ore mine.
The news that came back from the exploration team, of course, included the quality of this iron ore, sixty percent of the quality, it is already the same as the original Mysore iron ore, that hundreds of millions of dollars of the big deal, not to mention that it may be higher.
With the detailed introduction, Crown Prince Elizabeth only face with a surprised color, “That can really be a treasure!”
As a current crown prince of a still large empire, Crown Prince Elizabeth certainly understands what an iron ore of this quality means. Britain is considered to be one of the very few countries in Europe that has coal and iron in abundance, and this alone exceeds the respective crippled France and Germany.
But Britain’s iron ore is also the world’s more common quality, the average quality of thirty percent, mining costs are very large.
But even so, Britain in Europe with the coal and iron ready basis, first opened the industrial revolution, became the most successful country in modern times.
Sixty percent of the quality of the iron ore, supported the United States in the late nineteenth century boom, if the Australian interests of the iron ore than when the United States iron ore is still stronger, Crown Prince Elizabeth a little think about it all feel marveled.
“Honorable Crown Prince, I think this is a country on the mines.” Pamela Mountbatten, with a strong woman’s posture, repeated Allen Wilson’s definition, “The arrival of this good news has made my confidence even stronger, not only to find the iron ore here, but also to find all the minerals of this ancient continent.”
Half a world away, Alan Wilson, on the other hand, must continue to labor for the British Empire in the midst of his vacation. First of all the location of the iron ore region of Western Australia is very close to Indonesia, which has just succeeded in becoming independent.
The economically developed areas of Australia today are Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra in the east, while the west coast is still quite desolate. If a wave of public opinion can be manipulated by combining the safety and security of this iron mine with Indonesia, I believe it will be more acceptable to the Australians.
If World War II has impressed Australians with anything, it is the need to be sure to watch out for the safety of the East Indies.
This is why Australia, when Alan Wilson was plotting to split up Indonesia, was very supportive.
Now that Indonesia has become independent and is clamoring everywhere that imperialism has split Indonesia, the other countries are far away, and even the ones that are close are colonies, and only Australia itself is very close to Indonesia.
Indonesia, which is yelling all over the place, lost Kalimantan and half of New Guinea, yet still has a million square kilometers. Different religious beliefs, coupled with a large population, such a country is just across the water from Australia. This has led to an innate fear of Indonesia throughout Australia.
For being divided by a group of colonial countries plus Australia and New Zealand, two huge islands, Indonesia is very dissatisfied, Sukarno has repeatedly declared that it will not recognize such a division, for Sukarno’s statement of the most sensitive, is the near future of Australia, especially the issue of the island of New Guinea, Australia will never talk, rather let half of the island forever under the rule of the Dutch, will not let this island fall into the hands of Indonesia.
And in Australia’s eyes, the island of New Guinea is an important barrier to the north of the Australian continent and an important part of Australia’s defense of its own security. During the war, Japan had tried to use New Guinea as a springboard to attack Australia.
Once Indonesia took control of the entire island of New Guinea, it meant that Indonesia gained a springboard to attack Australia.
Although Australia was only one of the countries that supported the partition of Indonesia at the UN General Assembly. But the other countries were far less present than Australia, and at the UN General Assembly, Australia was the most adamant.
In the eyes of some Australian hardliners, the only way to secure northern Australia is to dismember Indonesia, and the Dutch partition plan had Australians cheering.
In fact, from the location of the iron ore mines, we know that the location of the iron ore area in Western Australia is much closer to Java, the most central part of Indonesia, and a little effort on this, Britain has more reason to occupy Malaya and not go.
After all, far-flung and close to attack is not any country’s unique secret, as long as a little bit of knowledge of key politics will be thought of. Alan Wilson knew that in the original history, Australia took a supportive attitude towards Malaysia.
When the conflict between Indonesia and Malaysia intensified, Sukarno directly sent troops to attack Malaysia. In order to support Malaysia, Australia also sent troops to garrison the Sarawak and Sabah areas to confront the Indonesian troops invading Malaysia. At the same time, Australia also strengthened its military defense in the areas adjacent to Indonesia and claimed to purchase a large number of weapons from Europe and the United States, posing as if it wanted to have a showdown with Indonesia.
If Allen Wilson’s idea could be realized, it would be better to run the Malayan colony for a long time with the support of Australia, and as long as this could be achieved, he would rather Indonesia be a Soviet system country.
It was better for Indonesia to become a Soviet system country, so that Britain could keep occupying Malaya on the pretext of protecting Australia.
It took a day for Alan Wilson, who was on vacation, to concoct a report about a Western Australian iron ore district exposed to Indonesian watchfulness, and transmit it to Pamela Mountbatten, so that his fiancée could get the Australians to take it seriously, through certain channels, in due course.
“Should I take advantage of the Malayan to walk around Indonesia with some talk of harboring ambitions for Australia?” Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and finally decided to wait.
It was always unreliable to leave such matters in the hands of others, and he still wished to run the matter himself. It was still perfectly timed and not an imminent matter.
Sending a telegram, Alan Wilson went to Ingrid Bergman and Hedy Lamarr to talk about the movie, he wanted to make a movie called the 300 Spartan Warriors, out to promote the European epic masterpiece.
Although the timing may be a bit debatable, for example, the Turkish army is now in Greece, under the organization of the United States, together to suppress the pro-Soviet forces.
But Alan Wilson doesn’t believe that the situation in Greece can still be changed because of a movie? Even if the Persians in the movie, there is a possibility that Greek fans as a mapping of the current Turks, but in the United States under the strong stabilization work, or not a problem.
It’s a good way to make money, and it’s not shabby! Alan Wilson even wanted to use it to get Greta Garbo out of the picture, which is how he felt Greta Garbo and fit to play the Queen.
This extended version of the telegram, Pamela Mountbatten immediately received again, this time the telegram is more explicit, about the iron ore reserves announced, Alan Wilson in the telegram in order to say so, “according to the most optimistic estimate, the iron ore reserves can reach one billion tons.”
This size of iron ore mine is certainly not small, but not so much as to be targeted by the Americans, and also not enough for Australia to lift the ban on the export of iron ore ban, just a little bigger Mysore iron ore mine.
Wait until all the relevant preparations are completed, Pamela Mountbatten to get everything ready, and then it is not too late to announce larger reserves.
In fact, in the latter days of Western Australia’s iron ore mines, how much reserves there were was a matter of nobody’s knowledge. The term estimated reserves itself is not a definitive term. But there are at least twenty billion tons of foreseeable reserves, which is the number of bare ground good for mining.
As for the theoretically most optimistic six trillion tons of iron ore, Allen Wilson estimated that the pit would probably be dug deeper than even the South African gold mines.
Because of the discovery of this iron mine, Pamela Mountbatten was even more convinced of her fiancé’s talent for warping the earth. Getting an iron mine of such a good quality, she now wanted to fly back to Europe right away and give her fiancé children.
Pamela Mountbatten with a telegram in hand, was seen by Princess Margaret who came over, and at a glance, she knew that she must have been the man who said two words and didn’t know north and south east and west.
Sitting directly beside Pamela Mountbatten, Princess Margaret saw Pamela Mountbatten put the telegram away, as if how rare, could not help but open her mouth, with a very childish words, “Pamela sister, you say a man, if nothing is always around the woman, is not to the woman has bad intentions, if the woman identity noble, and the man’s origin is more general, is not to the woman has bad intentions, if the woman identity noble, and the man’s origin is more general, the man is more general, the man’s origin is more general, and the man is more general. man’s origin is rather ordinary, is it possible to conclude that there are bad intentions?”
“Margaret, don’t talk about Prince Philip like that!” Pamela Mountbatten, listening to the words of the Crown Prince’s sister, did not even think about Alan Wilson, and directly opened her mouth to persuade, “Although Prince Philip’s and the Crown Prince’s identities are a little bit far apart, and Greece can’t be compared to England, the Crown Prince’s and the Prince’s feelings are still very good. Moreover, the Prince is a man with his own self-esteem, and if we look at his marriage with the Crown Prince in this way, it would be a harm to the Crown Prince as well.”
“This ……” Princess Margaret helplessly looked at Pamela Mountbatten, did she say enough to understand?
Uncompromising Princess Margaret, once again organized some language, “Even Pamela you are right, but some problems in your own body, you may not be so sober. With your status and condition, what kind of man can’t be found in the whole of England, like that Allen person, and you are not a good match.”
“Huh?” Pamela Mountbatten’s face changed, she now knew how her fiancé hated this princess, in her place she also hated it, smiling bitterly, she asked back, “Margaret, you don’t know him, it’s my good fortune to be able to be with him.”
Allen Wilson, who had just been added to the world’s finest iron ore in the world today, was not to be denigrated in Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes at this time, no one was!
