Chapter 796 – The First Sea Minister

“After coaxing your daughter, it’s time to coax me.” Pamela Mountbatten tugged her husband up, then directly jumped into the man’s arms, “Actually how much wealth, I don’t really value it, as long as you treat me well.”

Reaching out and patting his wife’s back, Alan Wilson softly consoled, “Wealth can make you less extra worried, so that the couple’s adoration is more pure, geez, how could I say such sensible words?”

It was a mild and pleasant evening, an evening of enthusiasm without inhibitions, a tour of the great world without leaving home, and Pamela Mountbatten responded with equal enthusiasm. On this point Alan Wilson had no reason to argue. Especially on the point of effervescence.

At the moment, Pamela Mountbatten needed to stay with her husband so he could kiss her neck and nibble on her earlobes with that wicked seductiveness that made her burn under the touch.

She let her long hair fall loose, a style of hair that always mesmerized her husband. Those curls cascaded over her shoulders and down her back like a waterfall in the evening sun.

Alan Wilson raised his hand and touched those hair curls. He stroked them gently, feeling the strands of hair run down between his fingers. His wife’s eyes were filled with a familiar passion, and Allen Wilson’s breath warmed his wife’s neck, allowing the slender body to wrap around his own.

“I’m going to give you an heir.” Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in ecstasy as she endured waves of shock.

It was the greatest desire of the current famous British strong woman, Alan Wilson kissed his wife and whispered, “Let it happen.”

This kind of thing can be taken slowly, but obviously Pamela Mountbatten is in a hurry, she wants a little man on top.

Negotiations with the four great families would inevitably take up a long time for Pamela Mountbatten, and she didn’t hesitate to ask her husband for advice on some of the things she wasn’t sure about, and at all times, she trusted her husband.

“They’ll agree, sure!” Alan Wilson was decisive, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse plays a hole in the ground.

The style of the Li family in the latter days of Xiangjiang can actually be deduced in turn from the style of British businessmen doing business in the Far East. The Li family must have developed such a profit-oriented style during the time of British rule.

In the face of such opponents, sticking to one’s own views could surely overpower them and achieve what one wanted.

Although we are all British in theory, but in the fight for interests, a nationality can not explain anything. In business, more profit from the four families is the fundamental reason for this contact.

With her husband’s assertion, Pamela Mountbatten’s heart is in the right place, and must take down these four groundlings that have been operating in the Far East for a hundred years.

With his wife having things to do, Alan Wilson was caught up in the hustle and bustle of continuing his career as a time management guru. Hating to have forty-eight hours in a day, the camera hanging around his neck showed how diligent and studious he was.

“The men of the world will kill you if you lose your camera.” Ingrid Bergman threatened with mock menace.

“So what?” Alan Wilson snorted with a snooty demeanor, “What? It’s okay for Chaplin to see a sixteen-year-old starlet and marry one? And me and you guys are going to get killed? That old thing gets to live well and I’m going to be hunted by men all over the world? Outrageous.”

“Most of Chaplin’s wives were not very famous when they married her.” Hedy Lamarr leaned against the bed with her jade body spread out, her body without a piece of silk, glancing at the man with style and laughing, “It’s not the same thing as what you’re doing now.”

“There’s always something to strive for in life.” Alan Wilson smiled playfully and defended himself, “I won’t regret that choice.”

“Whatever!” Ingrid Bergman lightly grunted, not to dwell on this topic, the reality has been so, in said these also do not work, in order to this man, she has compromised to this point, looking back as if as a dream.

“In fact, I am more concerned, when you return to Europe, we are always less convenient. Always coming over here might be discovered.” Hedy Lamarr asked with a look of longing, it still wasn’t very convenient to travel halfway across the world.

“Whitehall’s previous telegrams have spoken of this, and at the end of my first term I was due to return to the Foreign Office. It’s just that the achievements of the Malayan colony are too highly regarded. London has a high regard for the benefits offered by the colony. So it is hoped that with my second term I will consolidate the achievements here.” Alan Wilson did not hold back and said bluntly, “Sir Norman told me not to worry, all sorts of achievements, the Cabinet and Whitehall are looking at it.”

Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman nodded their heads at the same time, the two women were certainly concerned about this man’s future development. A colonial administrative commissioner of 500,000 square kilometers was a God-like existence to the entire colony.

With so many visible and invisible benefits, who could be indifferent? Even the two of them, they had benefited from it.

“What do you think? Where can the development here catch up?” Ingrid Bergman wasn’t interested in politics, but over time, she always dabbled in a little bit of men’s habits.

“Portugal!” Alan Wilson originally wanted to say Japan, but thought that the two women didn’t have a single concept of Japan. So he took out a European country as a comparison.

“Portugal!” Hedy Lamarr said that she had been to that Iberian Peninsula country, and it was not bad in terms of perception, “After all, it is a European country, will it be a little difficult?”

“It is taking time. But I believe that with time, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Alan Wilson acknowledged the difficulty, then the words changed, “Didn’t I also spend a great deal of time getting you to accept the status quo?”

The two of them gave the man a blank look, with a hint of provocation in their gazes, the two movie queens had a common thought, wanting to take advantage of this time to teach this moralistic Imperial Commissioner a lesson.

“I want to challenge my soft spot.” Alan Wilson responded unknowingly, suddenly not realizing the danger that was coming.

In London, the capital of England, the previous election had faded away, the dust had settled, and people were returning to their normal lives. For most of the multitudes, it was work that was an integral part of life.

“Send this telegram, to Cyprus.” Norman Brooke, the Cabinet Secretary, called the Permanent Undersecretary of Defense into his own office and brought out a Cabinet appointment letter that looked rather solemn.

The telegram, which was to be of great significance in Mountbatten’s life, went through the unseen airwaves right to the Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet.

It was never a secret that Mountbatten wanted to be First Sea Lord, and in Mountbatten’s own character he would not have kept the secret from anyone.

In fact, leaders of both parties were supportive of Mountbatten’s ideals. Adderley also said, “I want Mountbatten to be First Sea Lord.” Churchill, needless to say, could not wait to put the British Admiralty in Mountbatten’s charge.

However, the British political system, especially the appointment and dismissal procedures and regulations of the Royal Navy, rendered them all powerless. So, Mountbatten was first appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet; after a year’s interval, he was promoted to full admiral. This paved the way for Mountbatten to obtain his desired position step by step.

The British military is a place with a traditional aristocratic legacy, and with Mountbatten’s relationship with the royal family, there were many who believed that it was only a matter of time before Mountbatten got what he wanted, they just didn’t know the exact date.

And now, after a general election victory, Labor Prime Minister Adderley has decided to make Mountbatten’s wish come true as an appointment that will satisfy both the Crown and the military nobility.

Admiral Mountbatten, in command of the Mediterranean Fleet, who was bored, took the telegram handed to him by his staff, ready to see what London had in store for him, but at once a look of ecstasy appeared on Mountbatten’s face, the words of the First Sea Lord had struck him with the exactness of what he had dreamed of for many years.

The not-so-long telegram was read several times by Admiral Mountbatten, who could not believe that his lifelong wish had been realized.

Ecstatic, Mountbatten stood up and walked around his office a few times, and through the windows, the view of the place, which had long been dull, seemed to become colorful again at once.

Did not take long, the whole command know the good news, fleet commander Mountbatten, has received the London prime minister Edley appointment, will return to London to do the first sea minister, become the navy’s number one person.

Dreams come true, Mountbatten, accepted the congratulations of the ministry, into the celebration, and immediately the news, informed his wife and two daughters, at the same time ready to return to London, descending on his loyal Admiralty building.

What had once been the First Sea Lord’s office of his father, Prince Louis, was to be his office. After making the necessary preparations, Mountbatten boarded a military plane directly back to London.

“The Admiral has been appointed First Sea Lord?” Listening to his wife’s beautiful briefing, Alan Wilson was equally happy to say that he would like to celebrate, does this mean that in the future, the Royal Navy’s affairs will become a matter of division?

“This is my father’s dream for many years, and now it is finally a dream come true.” Pamela Mountbatten bounced around like a pre-teen girl, tugging her husband’s arm in circles, “Do you know, dear, how many years father has waited for this day.”

“I’m sure this is just the beginning.” Alan Wilson replied as if he were a godly man, remembering that Mountbatten was more than just a giant of the Navy, eventually becoming the head of the British Army, Navy and Air Force.

Seemingly immediately, Mountbatten had left the Mediterranean Command and arrived in London, the urgency in his heart was evident, and arriving in London, Mountbatten first traveled to Ten Downing Street.
