Chapter 508 – Arrival at Hawksin

Long before the famous Plaza Accord, the U.S. had fought a trade war with Japan, and along with bills like the Long Arm Jurisdiction, the U.S. had launched eleven attacks on Japan up to the Plaza Accord.

The scope of the trade war started in the 1950s, including but not limited to textiles in the 1950s, steel in the 1960s, automobiles in the 1970s, and semiconductors in the 1980s, with successive attacks up to 1997 behind.

At this stage, Allen Wilson just needs the textile industry, and with Malaya’s population being far less than Japan’s, and half of the population of the religion of peace, even if it were to dump on Europe at full power, the impact on Europe would still be within manageable limits.

Of course Malaya and Japan comparison, is not all advantage, Dodge program is the early post-war U.S. policy of support for Japan.

Since the U.S. military occupation of human Japan, has accumulated a billion dollars spent. But as long as the door of trade restrictions on Japan is not completely opened, there is no way out for the Japanese economy, and there is no way to talk about real stability, recovery, self-reliance and development.

Malaya’s population and the quality of the population, is not comparable to Japan, the advantage is that Malaya already have pillar industries, the United Kingdom does not have the financial strength of the United States, but the United Kingdom has the resources of the colonies, and at this stage can also help Malaya’s development by means of the imperial preferential system.

In general, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, in the total population and the quality of the population of Malaya after all lost points, very in the land area and resources is dominant.

As for the financial aspect, it is not without a solution, now the United Kingdom who is the richest, Pamela Mountbatten may not be the richest one, but after the discovery of iron ore in Australia, did get a huge amount of financial support.

Japan was also able to take on a lot of industrial transfer from the US because they had the technological base for industrialization, especially in terms of talent. Although the war destroyed Japan’s physical facilities, the talents that had been cultivated and the industrial technology that had been built up preserved the spark for Japan’s rapid recovery and development from the trauma of the war.

This intangible wealth is also in the United States Marshall Plan loans to help, Britain and France and other old European capitalist countries can once again return to the industrial powerhouse is an important reason.

The munitions economy brought about by the outbreak of the Korean and Vietnam wars also accelerated the transfer of U.S. industry to Japan.

Norman Brooke did not hurry to urge Alan Wilson to hand in his report, and the negotiations of the Paris Coordinating Committee had not yet begun, so he experienced a small farewell with his fiancée, who had already returned to London first, during this time.

“Imperial Airline has ordered the Comet airliner, this is considered the first big order.” Alan Wilson took the initiative to bring red wine and Pamela Mountbatten to express congratulations.

“Without your guidance, everything wasn’t so easy!” Pamela Mountbatten playfully winked at her fiancé, her face like a peach blossom, “I really hope you stay for a while longer.”

“I wish so too, I have my name on the delegates to the conference over in Paris.” Alan Wilson touched hands with Pamela Mountbatten and said, “We’ve been traveling around a bit these last few days. Plan the estate well; Sir Norman has inquired of me about Malaya, and it may be that I shall go there as commissioner.”

“Are you sure?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired with concern, “It’s unstable over there, and I’ve heard of the presence of anti-British forces.”

“Something like guerrillas, not a big deal.” Alan Wilson comforted Pamela Mountbatten, “Have faith in me.”

Worrying about anti-British forces in Malaya is not as bad as worrying about the Korean War, which also sent more than 10,000 people, and with Britain’s current armed forces, the 10,000-odd troop turnout figure is obviously perfunctory. Simply out of the maintenance and the United States of America’s unity, symbolic sent troops.

Two million troops of the U.S. Army can take out hundreds of thousands of troops, there are eight hundred thousand troops of the United Kingdom to send more than 10,000 people, obviously perfunctory, of course, there is not perfunctory place, the Royal Navy is the battleships aircraft carriers are all put together, for the United Kingdom, this has been enough meaning, sent the troops are close to the United Kingdom’s garrison in the Middle East and Malaya one-third of the British troops, but also what do you want?

While writing a report on industrial transfer and industrial upgrading, Alan Wilson also took advantage of the recent relatively abundant time to take Pamela Mountbatten to Cambridge to find Turing.

“Allen, who is this?” Turing still remembered Allen Wilson who received the medal with himself, but was not very familiar with Pamela Mountbatten.

“My fiancée, Miss Pamela Mountbatten.” Allen Wilson shook Turing’s hand warmly, “I just recently returned to my country, and I happened to come over with her to visit my friend.”

“Miss Mountbatten, hello!” Turing had the good sense to extend her hand, as usual, dressed casually in contrast to the old school.

Alan Wilson intentionally steered the conversation to computers, the first of which had already appeared. The U.S. Department of Defense used it for ballistic calculations. It was a behemoth, using electron tubes as components, so it was also known as the electron tube computer, the first generation of computers. Electron tube computers could not work for too long due to the large size of the tubes they used, which used a lot of power and were prone to heating up.

Turing obviously knew of this family of computers, but still shook his head, “With the size of the electron tubes, the American computer is only symbolic, it must be more suitable materials to work.”

“Pamela, all of this cutting edge technology is among the military’s institutions. It might be beneficial to Turing’s research if you could inquire.” Alan Bit Hotline cocked his head in request, “Of course, don’t be taken for a spy, I have a feeling the political world is simply terrified right now.”

“I’ll ask around to find out!” Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head in praise, “Both the Cabinet and Whitehall are terrified, only my fiancé, Alan, is fearless, the Prime Minister of the British Empire should be you.”

“If you don’t say that citizens don’t know what they’re talking about, huh!” Alan Wilson justified, “Don’t always sit on the mine to consider the problem, I feel that what Mr. Turing researched is extremely important to the whole world. Inquire about semiconductor domestic enterprises who have accumulated technology.”

The term semiconductor has long appeared, and its special properties were first discovered from the study of some sulfides, after the appearance of radio transmitters using electronic tubes, many people use some natural sulfide ores to make cheap radios, which in fact use its unidirectional electrical conductivity at the point of contact with the metal to be used as a detector, and this is a kind of diode, which can replace the role of the special vacuum diode.

But to add a control pole to this semiconductor diode to get a triode with amplification took a lot of time to research and experiment before it finally succeeded.

There must be a company or military organization in the UK that researches semiconductors, this Alan Wilson is quite sure of.

It is just that the general environment, the UK is now crazy cut projects, a lot of research is forced to interrupt. In fact, it is similar to the collapse of the Soviet Union, some long-term research projects are lack of financial support led to the interruption.

In fact, Britain’s full transistorized computers appeared one year earlier than those of the United States, and as for the fate of the Comet airliner, it can only be said that the fate of the transistorized computers of the United States was squeezed out.

This is also the United Kingdom from the first world war on a daily basis, technical reserves are there, but the face of other countries when the competition, the more and more out of power, with the latest technology to create a second-rate thing, completely successful road stepping stone style.

“You’re the iron ore queen reported in the papers!” It was only then that Turing had the hindsight to remember that he had seen a relevant report in the newspaper, and spoke in surprise, “So you’re Allen’s fiancée, it’s really ……”

“And I don’t know how lucky I am! Being favored by God is not once or twice!” Seeing Turing’s lack of knowledge reserves on the topic of complimenting women, Allen Wilson took the initiative to take over the topic and smiled with Pamela Mountbatten.

A rainbow fart made Pamela Mountbatten smile with joy, oblivious to the fact that she was leaning on Allen Wilson. This is the kind of behavior that Turing happens to have a strong immunity to.

“Pamela will definitely support your research, wait for our good news, I have a feeling that this is going to be something that changes the world.” Alan Wilson took Pamela Mountbatten’s arm, “It’s not much help, world-changing inventions always need resources to support them, don’t say no. It might make money, right?”

“I hope it doesn’t bleed you out of your investment.” Turing agreed hesitantly.

“I’m sure it will work! I’m going to be with her for a few days, so keep in touch when you can, and feel free to contact me whenever you’re in trouble” Alan Wilson waved his hand, bidding the computer pioneer farewell.

As he started to complete the second part of the report on industry transfer, the industrial upgrading part, and had not yet reached the third part of the content supporting the value of pounds, Alan Wilson proposed to take advantage of the high fall weather to go to Hawksin to take a look, “It seems that our manor has not yet been started, and it is always being disturbed by all kinds of things, so how about going to take a look?”

“Yes!” Recently and fiancé you always have me and I have you Pamela Mountbatten, to Allen Wilson’s opinion are all a million in favor, there is not a word of no.

It was just as well that it was time to bring the Hawksin Treasure back into the light of day, and if he wasted this time, he’d have to go to Paris again in a few days, and there was no telling when he’d be free to go.

Although the local residents had already cleared out and the conditions were quite spartan, the two who arrived at Hawksin decided to stay. Experienced a bit of Victorian country life.

Being snuggled up in a night’s sleep, Pamela Mountbatten leisurely transitioned, and as soon as she looked up, she looked at Alan Wilson looking at herself, very embarrassed, “You’re awake, why don’t you call me.”

“Cuddling the woman you love is such a happy thing, why should I call you.” Alan Wilson justified.

“Nasty!” Pamela Mountbatten beautifully knocked the man’s chest, “Bringing a person a girl to the middle of nowhere, I don’t know what I’m thinking.”
