Chapter 839 – Two Sets of Development Strategies
“Then this time, I’ll help you communicate with the Australian government as a public official.” Alan Wilson took a stand, although it was a bit inappropriate to say so, but what could be done? This was probably life.
“Who will you help if you don’t help me?” Pamela Mountbatten glanced at the large hand clinging to her chest and grimaced.
Then things were simple, summon the Comet One and the family plus Her Royal Highness traveled to Australia.
The Comet airliner had not been quite the same as earlier versions since its introduction, the improvements being mainly in increasing the number of passengers and using proven technology to spread the cost. The embassies and high commissioners of the major colonies and Commonwealth countries have each distributed mandates to increase the market share of the Comet airliner.
To date, Comet airliners have not crashed as they historically have, and sales have increased significantly over the same period in history.
At the meeting of the Overseas Asset Management Committee, Alan Wilson then transformed into a salesman, stating that he wanted to promote the Comet One in the major colonies and use it to replace the resources of the colonies.
The Comet airliner had become a major tool of British exploitation of the colonies, and as long as de Havilland’s production lines could keep up, he and his colleagues could make sure they could sell it and grab as much market share as possible before the Boeing airliner interview.
There are now more than five hundred Comet airliners of all types in operation around the world, and Comet airliners have appeared in Australia, Canada, and India, former colonies, but now independent countries.
In terms of the promotion of Comet airliners, it was not the first time that Alan Wilson had publicized the aircraft long ago.
Malayan Airways, for one, switched all its routes to Comet airliners, and he also wanted his colleagues everywhere to follow suit and rush to fill the local markets in influential places in the UK before Boeing airliners appeared.
There’s no rush, because the Boeing 707 has already been developed, it just hasn’t gone into commercial operation yet.
Once reliability is proven, the Washington government will certainly push for the use of the Boeing airliner.
The Comet airliner’s rivals have already appeared. For the Comet airliner, the advantage is that the Comet airliner has already been commercialized for several years, and has sold more than 500 airliners, which has already proved its reliability. In the current aviation market, the Comet’s market share is almost 100 percent.
The current Comet airliner has already shared the cost through the airliners sold, while the Boeing airliner has not yet entered commercialization, the cost will certainly not come down in the beginning, but this is not insurmountable, the U.S. government will definitely use the power of the country to help.
“It’s still early to talk about this, but Boeing’s new airliner will definitely be supported by Washington. Since the introduction of the Comet airliner, the major U.S. airlines don’t even have the intention to buy it. It’s understandable that one airline is like that, all the others must have been greeted.”
In his own jet, Alan Wilson and his wife talk about Boeing airliners, which could be a competitor to the Comet airliner in this matter.
“So what’s to be done? Is there a way to deal with it?” Pamela Mountbatten, looking like a curious baby, asked her husband to explain.
“The aviation industry is extremely important to the country, and if Britain’s power declines again, it will definitely affect the aviation industry. So it’s better to count on our country to stop the decline than anything else. The good news is that now Britain doesn’t have to be short when talking to the Americans because of the money it owes.”
The husband and wife enjoyed key politics, and only had to bother Her Royal Highness to look after the two daughters in her capacity as sister-in-law. So far so good, Her Royal Highness did not reject this role.
After Dubai, Colombo transfer, Comet I landed in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, this British immigrants in recent years the preferred place, said preferred is also no way, the whole of Western Australia occupies one-third of Australia’s area, not much smaller than India, only Perth near the director can.
From the climate, the whole country of Australia no good place, near Perth has been considered good, at least the climate is stable, birds and flowers do not have to think about it, is a weakened version of the Indian Punjab.
In many places, the climate is stable is the biggest advantage, Perth and Punjab is so, compared to the changeable climate, at least the people here can enjoy some good basic conditions.
There are not many places in Australia that can be used for agriculture, less than half a million of the 7.6 million square kilometers are in agricultural use, and the Perth vicinity counts as one.
Perth has long been considered a minor transparency compared to the three major cities of Australia in the southeast corner, which have long been developed.
But with the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, the country’s status has risen, both politically and financially.
The good thing about being a latecomer is that the Perth neighborhood is not yet overdeveloped, and many of the lessons of the East Coast can be avoided again in Perth. The president of the Mountbatten Group and the Princess of the Crown arrived in Perth, and the Governor, Ross McLarty, appeared at once to express his welcome to the honored guests of the native land.
The president of the Mountbatten Group and Her Royal Highness were paid homage before it was the turn of the district flunky, “Mr. Wilson, welcome to Western Australia, do you think there is anything that needs to be strengthened here?”
“Education can still be added, if I have the ability to do so, I will try to get Oxford and Cambridge, to help develop education in Western Australia.” Alan Wilson responded in a friendly manner, “In fact, with the current conditions of Western Australia, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the richest place in Australia, and when it becomes a developed place, all the related conditions have to follow.”
Alan Wilson with very sweet words, expressed the intention of wanting to use the education industry to cut leeks in Western Australia. The trick is older and works just fine, and Western Australia has this condition completely.
“It’s delightful that Mr. Wilson is bullish on the development here.” Ross McLarty is very happy, from the Western Australia contains a variety of minerals, by the Mountbatten Group’s major exploration team one by one after the discovery of the financial revenue soared Western Australia, a change of the previous look up to the East Coast.
With money in hand, the Western Australian government’s ideas have become more, determined to build Perth into a city more than the East Coast.
Alan Wilson understands this mentality very well. The source of many regional conflicts is comparison. Once upon a time, the gap between Western Australia and the East Coast was obvious, and the East Coast people at that time, not to say despise the other places, but also do not think much of them.
In the latter days, Western Australia has long been the richest state in Australia, and there are some vague voices of discontent with the Australian government.
This is normal, the whole of Australia is built on the sale of iron ore from Western Australia, while the poor East Coast people are always telling Western Australia what to do, and are therefore fed up.
More of this sort of thing and Mordor always feels that the Empire is too much in charge, quite similar to the current Western Australian mentality. The difference was simply that one stood on the ground and the other occupied the resources, the foundation was different.
“What do you think?” Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband what he thought of Ross McLarty’s attitude.
“Good, the necessary centrifugation of Western Australia will help maintain British influence in Australia. We don’t necessarily have to tell Australia what to do, but some necessary conflict helps make things easier.” Alan Wilson smiled rather happily.
“Still it looks like Ross McLarty is quite smug.” Princess Margaret chimed in.
“That’s the way people are, it’s God’s fault for having a bad day, and it’s the result of my personal efforts when the days are good. It’s so normal!” Alan Wilson snorted a sneer, “It’s just a place that sells resources, really think you’re so great? Throw all the people here to the inland desert and still develop so well, then it’s not too late to say they’re marvelous.”
Several people decided to rest in Perth for a few days, mainly the domineering female president and her highness, who needed to carry out a bit of pro-people behavior.
As for Alan Wilson also has a task, the first is to see the child, there is also the development of the British Malaya colony, a bit of planning, now laying the foundation of the stage has passed, the future development of the Malayan colony must be properly planned to do so.
Alan Wilson was right in the capital of Western Australia, to an irrelevant place to start development planning.
From the memory of a previous life, the idea of the development of the provinces of a large country is nothing more than two. In the early stages of opening up there was little planning, going to work on the coast was the way out. But as time passed, the provinces began to come around and try to construct development routes.
The fundamental reason was that the absence of a development route would result in a drain of local talent. There are generally two main types of planning, one is the wolf pack tactic and the other is the strong provincial capital strategy.
Not all planning at the beginning is completely appropriate, for example, Jiangsu and Shandong started with wolf pack tactics, but Jiangsu had no problem, Shandong was not very successful and has been transformed like a strong provincial capital strategy.
The main purpose of the strong provincial capitals is to stop the local brain drain, if the basic conditions are not so good, then the province’s strength to focus on the development of provincial capitals, locking the trend of brain drain.
Strong provincial capital strategy southwest practiced earlier, but was quickly followed by the provinces, after all, the objective conditions of Jiangsu, most places do not have, even Shandong have turned.
Alan Wilson felt that West Malaysia is able to use the wolf pack tactics, Penang, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore can be synchronized development, but East Malaysia is not able to follow suit, in East Malaysia Sarawak and Sabah will have to choose the strong provincial capital strategy.
East Malaysia’s population is only one-fifth of the entire Malayan colony, and was able to build two core cities has already been considered good, want to go hand in hand with the same West Malaysia is purely overthinking.
“Looking at it this way, my second term is not yet time to bask in my eggs.” Alan Wilson looked at the two-legged plan that had just been completed, by the time his term as Imperial Commissioner was over, the Prime Minister wasn’t as good at governing as he was.
