British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 350: Then play music and then dance

"Oh, my Allen is the best." Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips and boasted with a look of admiration.

"Darling, even if you have deep feelings, you can't insult me ​​in such a tone." It's okay to say that we Allen are the most powerful and completely angered Allen Wilson. This is obviously his tone of touting India.

Although the aggression is not big, it is extremely insulting. It's just that he doesn't believe it, and he even mocks his man. This is a man who can't bear it, Alan Wilson can't accept this kind of insult, and it involves the question of future family status.

"If I can find a way for you to be a rocket and enter the rich list, will I be able to get a sincere apology." He closed the iron box and locked it. .

"Is it richer than my mother? The Comet airliner doesn't count. The project has the possibility of failure, and it can't be used as a basis, so the stock market can't be counted. It can't be said of oil. The Persian Gulf is full of national oil companies. Corruption is in the colonies. It’s okay, but it’s not acceptable in China. How can there be corrupt people on the rich list? It doesn’t count as a bargain hunter for German companies.”

Pamela Mountbatten snapped her fingers, filtering one by one, and finally felt that it was almost the same.

"You'd better get in touch with the aristocracy in the country, especially those families who are affected by the war and have a hard time, wait for the newspaper to warm up." Alan Wilson said with a high-profile look, "Waiting to become the spirit of the aristocratic class of the British Empire. When you're a leader, my dear, you'll thank me for that."

"What is it? Do you need to contact other nobles?" Pamela Mountbatten was confused and kept asking.

"I've done it. I'm telling you, register an exploration company." Alan Wilson finally couldn't stand it and said, "You should know the sale of Mysore iron ore, isn't it very profitable? Just talking about it, Don't ask rashly."

Why can Mysore iron ore sell for a high price? The first is that it is easy to transport along the coast, and the second is that the quality of the iron ore exceeds 60%, and the Rockefeller family bought it from the Germans and eventually sold it to the Morgan family's Mesabi Ridge Iron Mine.

After decades of development have come to an end, the quality of iron ore has not been as good as before.

The iron content of Mesabi Ridge iron ore exceeds 70%, and it can be directly smelted without any treatment, becoming a raw material warehouse for the U.S. steel industry, directly promoting the completion of the process of U.S. industrialization and urbanization.

The iron content of Mysore iron ore has exceeded 60%, which is considered a very rare mine in the world. The quality of Mesabi Ridge iron ore is 70%.

If you compare it with China, you will know that the average quality of China's iron ore is 30%, which will cause a lot of extra costs.

Even the average quality is poor. The average quality of iron ore in the world is 40%. Indian iron ore is stronger than China's, of course, the total amount is immeasurable.

The quality of Australian iron ore is a little higher than that of Mesabi Ridge iron ore, and it also surpasses that of Vale in Brazil. It will be the only one in the 21st century. The most important thing is that Australian iron ore has not yet been discovered.

All Australian experts, scholars, and the Australian government are convinced that the country's iron ore reserves do not exceed 250 million tons. Therefore, in 1938, the ban on the export of iron ore was imposed, and it will be implemented until 1960.

Alan Wilson couldn't believe that an iron ore wouldn't run away again, how could he find it in a few years.

Pamela Mountbatten was very obedient and didn't ask. She thought that there must be news about the iron ore in a certain colony, and Ellen Wilson knew about it. Not entirely true, Australia was not a colony for a long time.

Therefore, the method of eating alone cannot be adopted. First of all, Pamela Mountbatten must win over a group of nobles with status and influence in the UK, let these nobles invest part of the funds, and bind them together with shares, and then the second step is to connect with the Australian dignitaries. talk to form a transnational interest collective.

This is also a huge benefit to the British Empire. It binds Australia with its interests and has the blessing of Australian iron ore.

Alan Wilson dared to fight like this in Malaya and Japan, which undertakes the transfer of American industries.

What does an American colony in Japan do with such a high per capita income? Alan Wilson felt that it was very reasonable to give a little to Malaya. Before the Japan Plaza Accord, the average per capita was 11,000 US dollars, and he was not greedy. Considering the proportion of the Japanese population and Malaya's population, let the Japanese share a little. , Malaya and Japanese are both 10,000, this desire is not too much.

After all, in addition to the population, Malaya has better natural land resources and better traffic in the Strait of Malacca. As long as the British Empire and Australia are willing to give some support, this will not be a problem.

Of course, the immediate problem is that we can’t continue to have such technology and money. The sale of engines to the Soviet Union is only one aspect of the poor in the UK. Alan Wilson’s proposal for the Netherlands to lease battleships from the UK is actually just the icing on the cake.

Because this is what Prime Minister Attlee did in history, and it is also done now, because to support France's return to Vietnam, the British Royal Navy leased an aircraft carrier HMS Colossus to the French Navy.

Britain gave its aircraft carrier to this centuries-old rival, and it can be seen that Prime Minister Attlee is really warming up to the mission.

According to history, after the lease expires, France will buy the aircraft carrier and rename it "Arromanches". During the Vietnam War, it participated in many battles in Southeast Asia, and its flying squad supported French troops stationed in Dien Bien Phu and assisted in the evacuation of North Vietnamese refugees.

There are indications that Attlee still wants to struggle to the death during his term as Labour Prime Minister.

Alan Wilson likes this Prime Minister very much, although the main reason is the nationalization policy, he is a civil servant, and it is natural for civil servants to like state-owned enterprises.

His engagement with Pamela Mountbatten also has an important function, that is, it can be used to delay time.

Since the problems of British India, especially the contradiction between the Congress Party and the Muslim League, have been clarified, what Governor Mountbatten has done is to delay the time, let the banquet open, then play music and dance, and avoid expressing his position on the issue of preference. . This is the case even with the land issue.

This has filled the Congress party with misgivings, Gandhi once pointed out that the princely state was a British product, created by chiefs to weaken India's resistance to the British Empire.

As long as Mountbatten encouraged the Maharajas to become independent, the Congress Party would argue that Mountbatten was sabotaging the new independence by Balkanizing India's legitimate territories and allowing the development of an artificial, undemocratic product of the era, the Maharajas. India.

The Muslim League also wants some princely states to be incorporated into Pakistan, and therefore opposes their independence.

Mountbatten tried his best to be vague, but he didn't really want to solve this problem. Now that his daughter was getting engaged, he could just pretend that he was busy and dragged on.

When it's time for independence, you can crawl! It is not that he has no talent, but that time is pressing, so he has no time to think about the partition of India and Pakistan, and some policies have sequelae.

Alan Wilson, who knows well that there is no such shop after this village, will not refuse any gifts from all parties. As a practitioner, he promised to stand on the last shift, and he also took the time to conduct drug tests and licenses. That’s right, the eight pharmaceutical companies’ hard work totaling $1.5 million is waiting for the head of the local civil servants to receive it.

He had a great time talking with the major compradors in India in the morning, and the representatives of the native states in the afternoon. When the matter is finished, an order is issued to let him return to Europe.

Mountbatten's invitation list has a total of 3,000 people, involving all walks of life, including the Congress Party and the Muslim League, as well as representatives of local Indian business families and local states.

For this, the Governor's Palace has made careful preparations. Governor Mountbatten said that he must be diligent and thrifty, and set banquet standards according to the minimum standards. Sir Barron recognized it very much, but he did not quite understand how to be diligent and thrifty at a banquet of 3,000 people, but the Governor Now that he said that, he pretended to do it, and there was no loss.

When he came out of the Governor's Office, Sir Barron happened to meet him. Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten, who came over, couldn't help but sighed, "Time flies so fast, the day Alan came to New Delhi, it seems that It hasn't been too long."

"It really didn't take too long, Sir Barron ~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson politely replied, "I have been very grateful to Sir Barron for his care over the past two years, allowing me to find my purpose on the road of life. Everything today is inseparable from your teaching. "

"The main thing is that you work hard enough yourself and are good at spotting opportunities." Sir Barron was also very satisfied when he heard Alan Wilson's words. "Grot has a very good child, and he should be very happy about it."

The origin of the two is a bit inappropriate to say on this occasion, because of the famine in Bengal. After all, there are also Indians coming. Out of respect for the independence of others, the past should not be mentioned.

On October 15th, the engagement ceremony of Ellen Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten began. For the Governor and his wife, except for some regrets that their eldest daughter Patricia could not come, the rest of the time was immersed in happiness .

On this day, the Governor's Mansion was very lively. All the guests who came to the Governor's Mansion made Mountbatten himself very happy, no matter what religion he believed in, whether he belonged to the Congress Party or the Muslim League, whether he was a businessman or a feudal prince.

Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten also accepted everyone's blessings, and saw Ali Jinnah who was drinking, and nodded to each other. The leader of the Muslim League has always been disdainful of the rules of the Peace Church.
