Chapter 853 – Education cannot be poorer than poverty
Admittedly, the vast majority of military sales projects are not possible to make a one-time payment, this military sales is not, otherwise Australia simply can not in the existing system, more than ninety million pounds of God unknowingly take out.
But the result of three years of installments, also enough to make the cabinet satisfied, many of the Ministry of Defense submitted to the Cabinet of the so-called 100,000 big projects, but also need to allocate is only 60 or 70 million pounds, take the air force to fight for the strategic bomber project, the request for allocation of the figure of eighty-three million pounds. The Comet airliner sale was only £275,000 a piece.
Because of Australia’s help, the Royal Navy’s new aircraft carriers were on track, and that evening General Mountbatten drank heartily, delighted that the project had come off without a hitch.
Aircraft carriers are of course impossible to build without a carrier, but as long as the project is going well, what’s the point of having a platform if you don’t have a carrier?
General Mountbatten in a good mood, but also special telegrams and district son-in-law to share the joy at this time, he knew that the Navy Department’s victory this time, Allen Wilson is not to blame.
Get the telegram Allen Wilson deep in credit, in a few hours ago, he was at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, to meet the supreme Queen of Sarawak, arrived in the loyal Malayan colony, oh, and an important member of the British Empire’s royal family, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret.
“The project for the new aircraft carriers is sort of going well because of Australia. But the Royal Navy still has a big problem; there are too many battleships in the stockpile, and it would be too costly to keep them all. The vast majority of the carriers have little or no potential for conversion, and after the war the Cabinet was constantly thinking of finding sellers for these warships destined for dismantling.”
Pamela Mountbatten smiled like a little fox as she listened, “So? What do you think the scope of the elimination is?”
“Including, but not limited to, all carriers below the Grudge Class carriers.” Alan Wilson replied without thinking, “Don’t expect the Malayan colony to share, adding another burden to the fleet size will affect the Malayan colony’s own finances, and I’m not prepared to scrape through here and run.”
“I understand!” Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head, in the special period after the war when Britain was pissing its pants in poverty. She made a mess of the succession of the Brook Dynasty in Sarawak through a bribe, the money spent is now seen as a huge sum of money, but at least it is a good thing to get a local throne, and after the colonial government and Dutch Kalimantan communication, in fact, it is a purchase, and adjusted to expand the land.
Now even if her husband wanted to scrape through the colony and leave, she wouldn’t agree, but Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband must have had an idea since he mentioned it, and opened the door, “What’s there for me to step in?”
“Frank and I have talked about the Royal Navy stockpile, something about it being an impediment to normal turnover.” Alan Wilson is not polite with his sleeping wife, listed a few candidate countries then said, “Frank judged that among the countries that have the need, the strongest is France, the grudge class aircraft carriers should be sold to France, at present, France is currently using its troops against Algeria, the Mediterranean fleet can not help the French blockade for a long time, they still need to do it on their own. ”
“You want to broker the deal, get France to put in a request to buy it and then get father to help pass it at the Admiralty.” Pamela Mountbatten was no longer the little girl she had been in New Delhi and immediately understood her husband’s intentions.
Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk, “For the sake of the special friendship between Britain and France in maintaining order ……”
“And also for the sake of, the oil interests in North Africa.” Pamela Mountbatten eyes waves of light flow, Shi Shi said, “Well, I and my friends in France to discuss, the Mediterranean Fleet is, after all, my father’s old subordinates, through the Mediterranean Fleet to propose blockade action to increase expenditure, is not very reasonable?”
“Algeria is after all a French colony, it makes too much sense, what kind of help is there for nothing.” Allen Wilson agreed a million times over and continued along that line of thought, “To have the French themselves employing their navy to blockade outside aid to the resistance forces, oh dear, the French Mediterranean fleet doesn’t seem to be strong enough.”
“Then after discovering this, it was only logical that the French made an offer to buy it.”
“And the Admiralty saw no problem in turning it down, if not for the sake of the special Anglo-French friendship, then for the sake of the money.”
“With the completion of the arms sale, the French Navy will receive two Grudge Class enhancements over and above the current carriers.”
The two men, one after the other, sketched out the very logical and self-evident process by which the whole thing should evolve.
France is certainly in need of aircraft carriers, especially now that it’s no secret that the first post-war carrier is being built. Currently France is in great need of aircraft carriers to defend its vast colonial interests.
“Again, I’ve been given such a task to keep my own wife so busy that she’s too busy to have children.” Pamela Mountbatten sat directly on her husband’s lap, hooking one arm around the man’s neck and questioning with a smile, “What is the intention?”
“Oh, my queen, I didn’t mean that.” Alan Wilson bowed his head along his wife’s arm, “It really doesn’t matter when you arrive in loyal Paris as long as things turn out well.”
But before arriving in Paris, attend the collective assembly of the reactionary forces in the colonies before saying anything.
Look at the list of invitees in Penang, colonizers, feudal monarchs, big buyers, mouthpieces of public opinion and all sorts of people.
All are ingredients that should have been hung by the streetlights, but of course from Malaya’s standpoint, everyone is a patriot resisting Indonesia’s unrealistic ambitions.
From Alan Wilson’s second term, the propaganda about the Asian lighthouse of our great Malaya, surrounded by all the poor people has begun to carry out, a day or two days useless, a year or two years effect is not very big, time will always have an effect.
In recent days, Allen Wilson and came to Penang to talk and laugh about the Jakarta regime and Sukarno, can not hide the color of contempt, said that is a figure of speech.
Including the major sultans of Ali Khan, Alan Wilson repeated the security assurances that Britain recognized the monarchical authority of all the sultans.
And is willing to give energy to promote the power of the Commonwealth to help Malaya develop. But if certain anti-British elements who could not see the situation clearly and fought to get Britain to leave, they were seen as agents of Indonesian infiltration forces.
Pamela Mountbatten then replaced her husband, whose position was more in tune with that of the feudal monarchs and suited the pacification effort.
Alan Wilson, on the other hand, contact with the various political forces, the Malay UMNO, the Chinese MCA, the Indian National Congress Party, not to make trouble everything there is to talk about, the triangle has stability, coupled with the Malay numbers do not dominate, mutual scorn, the imperial commissioner is still relatively save.
“Mr. Lin, I heard that just returned from Xiangjiang? The heart goes to the motherland?” Alan Wilson took a glass of wine, smilingly greeted Lin Lianyu who came in, as the Imperial Commissioner, this was all his part.
“Lord Lt. Governor, I did go to Xiangjiang, but not to the mainland.” Lin Lianyu immediately told the truth, “We just talked about some educational issues and nothing else.”
“Of course, isn’t that what Xiangjiang is for? The China-Japan trade agreement signed last year was also chosen to be signed there. The agreement totaled thirty million pounds.” Alan Wilson took the initiative to pour a cup for Lin Lianyu, his smile did not change, “I don’t know how the communication in education is, the education here also needs Mr. Lin’s help it, I’m not Chinese after all, although I have some certainty, you guys don’t want to fool me with small actions.”
“Exchanged some teaching materials, I can give these to the government to check.” Lin Lianyu immediately assured.
“Show me first, do you mind?” Alan Wilson was very interested, showing uneducated but with an almost stupid general courage, it was estimated that the part involving the division of the Soviet Union was definitely not friendly.
It was densely packed with formulas and letters, not at all humanized by our free world, where illustrations in enlarged type make up half the text.
May not be able to read, but there is a general understanding of good, contrast with the education industry to cut leeks will also have a number in mind.
Alan Wilson an expert in Oriental studies, the persona must stand, or how to do the leader of the British civil service in the future?
Subsequent days he as a comparison, the British textbooks and Chinese textbooks content and selling price to determine the future of the book fee set at what price is appropriate, there is also from the point of view of quality education, the Soviet-style textbooks are very unfriendly to children, too much knowledge of the child can not be absorbed, which are to be avoided.
Of course, we can not rule out the fact that some people do have a hunger for knowledge, and that can go to a private school. The power of private schools is the political correctness of the free world, and there is nothing to say about that.
Lin Lian Yu, who had been following Lord Naktang for a few days, certainly wouldn’t have fought the idea like the highest administrator in Malaya.
“Oh wow!” Alan Wilson, holding up the historical illustration of 1955, inquired of his own accord, “Who drew this?”
“Mr. Gu Jiegang.” Lin Lianyu inquired, “Does Lord Zhongtang have any comments?”
“Not much.” Alan Wilson flipped through the illustrations of the boundaries of the various dynasties and found them interesting. The territory maps were generally slightly smaller, especially in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, that was no longer some, all of them were waisted.
But the Tang Dynasty’s sphere of influence is drawn very large, some like the first Tang blow Japanese eyes Tang Dynasty strengthened version, even the Tubo are gone, wipe out the word Tang, say it is the Mongolian Empire’s map are believed.
“It’s not much different from our textbook, I’ll keep it as a souvenir, maybe I can give it to a friend as a gift later.” Alan Wilson put away the souvenir book and asked Lin Lianyu if it was okay.
“Of course there’s no problem if Lord Zhongtang likes it.” Lin Lianyu immediately said, he didn’t know if this could still be a gift?
Of course it can, Allen Wilson knew Foltseva, the first secretary of the Moscow City Council, give it to her if you have the chance.
It is best to wait until the Yuan Dynasty swallowed Siberia and the Ming Dynasty arrived in Kamchatka, as a comparison to send out two books is more appropriate.
