British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 541: local order

"Be honest!" He patted Princess Margaret on the shoulder, and the latter lay down obediently.

Alan Wilson, who was up and down, didn't have any evil thoughts, but he was a little impatient with serving the princess.

Although Princess Margaret's can be said to be very beautiful, but for him, it is a trouble. It is definitely not treated like those actresses, and the consequences of not taking it seriously are obvious.

"As a contemporary princess, I believe that there are many noble children who like you in their hearts. By the way, you are also twenty years old." When dealing with princesses who did not play cards according to common sense, he decided to uphold as much as possible not to offend and give a proper life. guide.

Role models are readily available, and the current Crown Prince Elizabeth is a good one to follow. In fact, when Crown Prince Elizabeth ascended the throne, the skeleton of the British Empire was still there. To celebrate the Queen's accession to the throne, the United Kingdom also joined forces with the British Commonwealth Navy to cobble together nine aircraft carriers for the British Empire Ship Parade in 1953.

But in an instant, three years later, in the Suez Canal War, Britain's tiger skin was ripped off. During Queen Elizabeth's tenure, it was a time when the British Empire was constantly collapsing. To be replaced by China, it should correspond to the period of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Today's monarchy is not mainstream, and the public's perception of the royal family is different. So you can't be too egoistic, and you should shoulder the responsibility of the empire like the crown prince."

"Sister lived a hard life like that. In fact, Pamela has a good life. There is a man who can help her solve all her problems." Princess Margaret closed her eyes slightly, but her face turned crimson.

"Well, you will find it too. There are still many gentlemen of the same age. But you can't find a married man! If you do this, the Anglican Church will trouble you, and even the crown prince will succumb to their pressure." Alan Wilson took a deep breath, and the spine of the love brain made a crisp sound with his hands, and then sighed, "Okay, Pamela is coming back soon."

Alan Wilson, who was looking for a place to wash his hands, did not run away as if he had done something wrong, and found a chair to sit down. I had a chat with the princess. As for people who want to lie down, just lie down.

"I think the palace is pretty good, what's wrong with you, Margaret?" Pamela Mountbatten came in excitedly, and saw Princess Margaret lying on the bed.

"She said she's tired!" Alan Wilson shrugged, without any explanation, it was up to Pamela Mountbatten to judge by herself.

"Get up, have you forgotten the etiquette of the royal family?" Pamela Mountbatten immediately went over to drag Princess Margaret up, and complained at Ellen Wilson, "Why don't you care?"

"What to do? I'm the local chief executive, but I don't seem to have the power to manage members of the royal family." Alan Wilson, who looked relaxed, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I can only guide, if the princess doesn't listen, I will There is no way."

"You always make sense." Pamela Mountbatten took a step back first and turned to her views on Sarawak.

As Alan Wilson had guessed, Pamela Mountbatten just saw it as a British winter getaway. Even if he gets the throne of Sarawak Kingdom, he will not come to live there.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't care about this place, it's a nominal territory anyway, and the necessary construction is of course necessary.

And she expressed her firm support for electrification, and she is willing to solve part of the funding problem if her fiancé needs it.

Alan Wilson laughed out loud when he heard it, "I seem to feel that you have a bit of a ruler's responsibility in you. Do I want to say at this time, yes, Queen?"

"Don't laugh at me all the time. I don't understand these things. I just want a noble title and a woman who loves vanity." Pamela Mountbatten was a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of anger in her tone, and she reached out and grabbed it. Alan Wilson's itch.

Why! Princess Margaret, who was watching this scene, sighed faintly, and the advice just now was thrown into the clouds.

"Pamela, stay here for a few more days." Two days later, Princess Margaret was at the Kuala Lumpur airport, and she murmured that it was a good place and a curious proposal to go around.

"Stop making trouble, Australia's facilities are better. Ellen doesn't have time to accompany us around." Pamela Mountbatten grabbed Princess Margaret's hand and walked towards the boarding aisle without looking back. " He is now planning the development of Malaya, this is all taking time to receive us, and I can't be too willful."

Alan Wilson did not come to see him off this time, and is working on electrification plans for Malaya.

He even wondered if he could follow the example of Japan and isolate two sets of standards. At that time, when purchasing electrical equipment in the Osaka area, the products of General Electric Company of the United States were purchased. The products manufactured by the American standard were all 60Hz, while those in Tokyo area The products are from the German General Electric Company. The products manufactured by German standards are all 50Hz. After development, these areas radiate out to the surrounding area, and naturally form two power grids with different frequencies.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was completely superfluous, not to mention investing more, and it was not necessary at all. The two parts of British Malaya are already separated by the sea, and there is no need to study this futile effort in the minutiae.

Just copying the European standards is enough. When the electrification plan was coming to an end, Boris, who had traveled halfway across the world, finally arrived at the Administrative Office in a dusty way.

There were also some Newfoundland financial officers and security personnel with them. Alan Wilson immediately entertained these Newfoundland guests. Boris directed the security personnel to carry up the box full of pounds, panting, "Ai Commissioner Lun, we sold all your stocks except the steel stocks, then went to London to convert them into British pounds, and then escorted them over in person, a total of five million pounds."

"Thank you very much for your help this time!" Alan Wilson didn't shy away, he opened it directly in front of these Newfoundlanders, looked at the banknote that could buy ten Sarawak, and sighed, "It's really hard work. , it doesn't sound like an easy journey."

This money is naturally his own, and now he has to invest it in the construction of British Malaya, to see where the investment is not enough, and to make up for it at a critical moment.

Seeing these pounds, he couldn't help but sigh. After two years of working without sleep and sleep in British India, he had only this amount of money left except for gold. He recovered and continued, "In fact, needless to say, many colonial accounts You are managing the funds of the company, which is better and more reassuring.”

Boris nodded and talked about the changes in Newfoundland in the past two years. Compared with the population of Newfoundland, the explosive growth of per capita wealth is something everyone can see.

It's hard to imagine that a place that was in debt of tens of millions of dollars three years ago could live such a comfortable life in such a short period of time. What's more, the Newfoundland fishing grounds are still there, and many Newfoundland fishermen are very grateful. The last term was not long, but Alan Wilson, who pointed the way for Newfoundlanders.

"Commissioner Allen, are you in charge of this colony now? It seems to have a bigger problem than Newfoundland at the time." Boris said curiously, "You even have to invest some capital to help develop it?"

"With a population of 10 million, the natural difficulty has increased by several levels. To get rid of the current life here in Malaya, we must not take the road of Newfoundland and honestly develop handicrafts." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Newfoundland The shortcuts are limited to specific environments, and Newfoundland’s population is really small. Otherwise, it’s really difficult to handle.”

While Alan Wilson was discussing the issue with the guests in Newfoundland, half a world away, General Mountbatten, who was promoted to the Fourth Sea Lord, was frantically calculating the funds needed to make up the logistical gap.

It was his arrival that made the importance of the position of the Fourth Sea Minister to an unprecedented degree. His great work enthusiasm and energy burst forth, and new ideas and new initiatives kept emerging.

Mountbatten, who stubbornly moved towards the First Sea Lord, first took the power to allocate arms and ammunition for each fleet from the Third Sea Lord; thirdly, he obtained the power to formulate all administrative plans for the Royal Navy.

Mountbatten was also ready to do his extra work, not only because he liked the pressure, but because he desperately wanted the entire Royal Navy, the military machine into which he had poured his soul, to work as he intended, Let others think he is the only indispensable man in the navy.

For a person like Mountbatten, it doesn't really matter who is the first sea minister, it all depends on what he wants to do~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If he can, he can completely take the first sea minister's Work is also done.

In fact, for Daying Long Aotian, this is a basic operation. After receiving a telegram from his daughter, Pamela Mountbatten, General Mountbatten, who was deeply impressed by the limited financial support after the war, contacted Alan Wilson in Kuala Lumpur. . Ask about the cost of some military supplies.

After all, this is a matter involving 150,000 Royal Navy Reserve materials. Of course, saving money is important, but also ensuring quality.

A telegram from British Malaya was soon received, in which Alan Wilson stated that he could personally supervise the quality of the product, and gave only one-third of the local offer.

Although the telegram is full of confidence, in fact, Alan Wilson has just drawn up a plan for the textile industry in Malaya. The textile industry is mainly composed of four sections, namely basic textiles, garment manufacturing, textile products and accessories. Among them, the spinning and weaving industries account for a relatively low proportion, and the development of the printing and dyeing and clothing industries is relatively basic.

Textile industry is the most basic industrial entry industry anywhere, and there are of course textile factories in British Malaya. It's just that it's not a system.

But General Mountbatten didn't know. After calculating the shipping cost, he placed all the logistical materials except military uniforms into an order and sent it to Kuala Lumpur. Some are not in line with traditional practices, but there is nothing to say about the family.
