British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 406: Governor of Newfoundland

"I'm only staying in New York for a few days, and I'm going to Newfoundland next month." Alan Wilson is proud, there is nothing that a MILF can't handle.

"Then you can go. What are you doing here in New York?" Greta Garbo put on her clothes with a cold face, "Just come to New York to collect female stars? Just come here?"

"That's not true, it's mainly passing by." Ellen Wilson lied without changing his face, the attitude of this silent film queen is really confusing, "What is the difference between you and your competitor Katherine Hepburn? She, Just following a married man, you are caught in the memory for a long time and cannot extricate yourself, is that interesting?"

He found that the female stars of this era are really different from those of a few decades later. As for Katharine Hepburn, she never married because of a married man.

Greta Garbo is even more legendary, her first love was the director of her country who discovered her. Later, because Hollywood used Greta Garbo to hype up the scandal, the director was getting old again, and finally voluntarily quit and passed away sadly, which caused the queen of silent films to be disheartened and decided to be single for the rest of her life.

"What's the matter with you!" Greta Garbo was stabbed to the point of pain, her already melancholy face even more indifferent, "It's not that you don't have a fiancée, and you provoke a forty-year-old woman every day for your vanity. Is it?"

"It's good to be reasonable, it wasn't like that when you were in New Delhi." Alan Wilson sighed, not knowing what went wrong, but it had to be resolved.

He also counted on Greta Garbo's smart head to help him analyze what Americans like, so they can do what they like.

This kind of thing would better strengthen Newfoundland's status. In fact, Alan Wilson also had such an extravagant hope in his heart that Newfoundland would remain under British rule and would not choose independence.

How can you say that it is like Newfoundland, loyal to the British Empire, and there are not many places where it is easy to maintain rule with a small population, and the area is still large, more than 400,000 square kilometers, and the British mainland is only more than 20 million square kilometers.

After returning to her seriousness, Greta Garbo finally returned to normal. "Newfoundland is the dominion of Northeastern Canada?"

Seeing Alan Wilson nodding, Greta Garbo thought for a while and said, "With such a small population, it's too difficult to start a business through work."

"Exactly!" Alan Wilson fully agreed that Chinese workers can only solve short-term problems by going to work. After all, Chinese workers cannot live there permanently, and the residents of Newfoundland will not allow Chinese workers to settle down.

"Then you should think about how to attract the attention of the rich. But the local climate is not very friendly. Americans usually go out to play in their own country. Puerto Rico is quite far away." Greta Garbo pondered. , "It's not good to make movies, there is Hollywood. Lottery is a way, but it is not sure whether it can affect the United States. You think about how to make the benefits of the rich class, and then you will be looking for some stars you are familiar with. Shooting TV commercials to create awareness.”

"Tourism is not good either." Alan Wilson listened to Greta Garbo's words and began to think of ways around the rich class. What do the rich need? Fame? Some, but certainly not all.

The general desire of the rich is the same as the general desire of the poor. The more money you make, the better. The rich also want to see an increase in wealth, especially the high inheritance tax in the UK!

Inheritance tax? Alan Wilson seemed to have opened up the eight meridians, and all of a sudden he had an idea. This time New York was the right time, "Greta, thank you, to express my gratitude, let me cook you a meal."

Alan Wilson really has limited time. As a master of time management, it is impossible to conjure time out of thin air. He was going to Boston in five days, then stopped for a day to explain some things, and then took the boat to Newfoundland.

In fact, before he thought of a good way, the time was not so tight because he had to travel around the United States. But now that a solution has been figured out, there is no need to push back Newfoundland's position.

Greta Garbo was still at a loss. Seeing this man seemed to be a different person all of a sudden, she was puzzled, but when she saw the man stood up naked, she frowned slightly, "Anyway, put your pants on board, how can you do this."

"I'm sorry, I thought I could be treated like a husband." Alan Wilson apologized insincerely, and went into the kitchen without treating himself as an outsider, "Can you accompany me to buy some clothes tomorrow, after all, I am in New York. Finland is not a good buy.”

Who will accompany you to buy clothes? Greta Garbo thought so. The next day, a man and a woman appeared on the streets of New York. Greta Garbo was wearing huge sunglasses. She didn't want to come, but she was threatened.

When she was on the balcony yesterday evening, this man threatened her, saying that she would not agree and shouted to the pedestrians under the downtown area to let everyone know what the two were doing. She gave in and promised to come out to accompany her to buy clothes before Alan Wilson took her back to her room.

Shopping is very unfamiliar to her. Greta Garbo has lived at home for many years since she retired from filming, and she has few friends, let alone in the busy city.

"You should hang out more. Although you Swedes have a natural sense of distance, your current living situation is too much. If your first love is still alive, you don't want to see you live like this."

This is why the temperature in the northeastern United States is not high at this time, otherwise Greta Garbo would look strange with a hat, a scarf, and huge sunglasses.

On this day's trip to the Big Apple, Alan Wilson was basically talking, Greta Garbo was listening, there was little dialogue between the two, and Greta Garbo was afraid of being recognized. People with box office records are still very well-known in the United States.

Having fulfilled Pamela Mountbatten's obligations without any risk, Greta Garbo returned home in fright to try on clothes for this uninvited guest.

"Actually, Newfoundland is sparsely populated. You can visit me when you are." Alan Wilson said to the silent film queen behind him as he stuffed his clothes into his suitcase.

"Who is going to see you there." Greta Garbo instinctively refused.

"Are you saying that again?" Alan Wilson's face turned cloudy, looking straight at Greta Garbo.

"I mean, I have the opportunity to go again." Greta Garbo's attitude immediately changed from firm opposition to conditional approval, and finally to firm support.

"It's really gratifying to hear such an unrelenting answer." Alan Wilson finally got the pulse of the queen of silent films. Although Greta Garbo looks strong, she will choose to give in when faced with a stronger one.

For the next few days, Alan Wilson lived in Greta Garbo's luxury apartment, flipping through the books he just bought. It has to be said that in this era, published books in the United States are already very expensive compared to prices.

The title of the book is "An American Dilemma: The Black Problem and Modern Democracy." This book condemns and indicts the United States in many ways, especially the problem of inequality in the American South, and has huge influence.

The author points out that the American creed believes in freedom and opportunity for all, and the issue of racial inequality in the South violates this creed.

Few Southerners will like the book's description of the South: a "boring, insecure" remote place, where "emotional Puritan religion" flourishes and "an unhealthy emphasis on sexuality" everywhere.

From the lynching system to the legal system, it shows how blacks and whites in the American South were trapped in a destructive relationship full of fear and aggression. This relationship arose because of slavery and perpetuated because of American attitudes toward poverty, crime, and social isolation.

Reading and taking notes has always been a good habit for Alan Wilson. In the notebook he carried with him, Alan Wilson recorded in addition to the red threat of the Soviet representative, also added the pink threat, the purple threat and the black threat, the last three colors. Threats represent women's movements, **** rights and black issues.

"It would be nice to combine these three issues with the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson put away the notebook, but unfortunately now is not the time, and he can't get to know McCarthy yet.

It happened that Greta Garbo came back from the balcony and took back Alan Wilson's clothes that had been dried. Seeing the man muttering, he said one more sentence, "What are you laughing at?"

"I learned some knowledge from your Swedes' writings~lightnovelpub.net~." Alan Wilson kept the book in his hand, and did not forget to complain, "Compared with the price of American books, it is too expensive."

Greta Garbo is not Heidi Lamar. She doesn't have the habit of reading. She lives at home by watching soap operas every day. It's really a shame that she can spend seven years like this. According to the future trajectory, she will continue to do this until her death. .

In New York, the time has come. Alan Wilson dragged the full suitcase to the door, and suddenly turned around, "It seems that at this time, the wife will give her husband a farewell kiss or something."

"You're not my husband," Greta Garbo said, but she stood on tiptoe and kissed her.

"Remember to visit me when you have time. You are a Swede, so it shouldn't be a problem to adapt to the local climate." Alan Wilson stood at the door contentedly, said something about staying home and taking care of his body before dragging his suitcase slowly. Go down the stairs.

This time he was really going to take up his post, and Greta Garbo didn't close the door until the footsteps of the stairs disappeared.

Alan Wilson, who arrived in Boston, said a few words of sincerity and solidarity at the consulate, and got on the boat to Newfoundland the next day. He already had a rough plan. Under this premise, time was precious. Finally, his When you step on the land of Newfoundland, it is only then that you enter the role of Governor of Newfoundland.
