British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 409: Pamela's Efficiency

The Humber River is located in the western part of British Newfoundland. It originates from the Longling Mountains, flows southward, passes through a series of waterfalls, and passes through several lakes. The mouth of the river is Corner Brook, the second largest city in Newfoundland.

However, Corner Brook did not exist at this time. According to history, Corner Brook would not become a city until the 1950s. At present, there are about 3,000 people in Corner Brook. The Humber River Basin is a small logging area in Newfoundland.

Corner Brook was the destination for Alan Wilson as the incoming chief executive, where he would visit the Humber Valley and develop a logging plan for the reconstruction of the European continent.

In later generations, due to the protection policy, forestry harvesting is generally only winter harvesting. It is said that when forestry resources were abundant in the early days, there was also autumn harvesting. But like Newfoundland, where logging potential is barely exploited, that's less of a hassle, and Alan Wilson thinks it makes sense to log year-round.

The Humber River Basin enters the sea in the southwest of Newfoundland, which has the advantage of being less vulnerable to blizzards.

According to local data, the northern part of Newfoundland Island has experienced heavy snowfall in the snow season, which delays forestry production.

Originally, the development rate of Newfoundland was low. There were no highways for highways, and no railways for railways. If the rivers could not be used, it would increase the difficulty.

Before leaving St. John's, Alan Wilson had not forgotten to send a telegram to Pamela Mountbatten in Canberra.

In fact, there is no special reason. He just mentioned the content of the executive order he issued. British Newfoundland has become a tax haven. If he can help spread the word, he will be very grateful to his fiancée.

Although Alan Wilson stepped on Australia with the British Newfoundland, I have to admit that Australia is also an enviable place. As long as the population does not exceed a certain number, Australia does have the capital of the deputy sheriff in the Pacific region. People It is not unreasonable to say that Australia is a small America.

However, the premise is that Australia's population must not be too large. One thing that a resource country must do is that it has a vast area and sparse population, and its population must not be too swell, so as to live a good life.

Australia's land is ancient, with billions of years of rain washing and serious nutrient loss. The oldest rock on earth is in the Murchisan Mountains in Western Australia, with a history of four billion years.

Australia's poor soils and low productivity have serious economic impacts on agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

The low fertility of the land leads to the need to invest more mechanized tools to cultivate crops, rely on artificial fertilizers for cultivation, and the yield is still incomparable with other countries.

The barren nature of the Australian soil is not easy to see at a glance. The British who had just arrived in Australia, looking at the large forest, thought it was a fertile land, so they cut down and overgrazed, and found that the replanted trees and grasslands grew very slowly and could not be used. Do not give up large tracts of land.

Nutrients in rivers and offshore areas come mainly from soils carried by currents. But Australia's soil is poor, the water is deficient in nutrients, and the fish resources are very easily depleted. Australia has the third largest fishing ground in the world, but it ranks after the 50th place in terms of production value. Freshwater fisheries are less valuable.

Another serious problem is salinization. The soils of the Wheat Belt in the southwest contain salt that has been blown from the Indian Ocean over millions of years. In the inland basin, there used to be freshwater lakes that were cut off from the sea water. After the water evaporated, the salinity of the lake water increased. After drying up, the remaining salt was blown to the eastern region.

If it weren't for the discovery of the world's best-quality large-scale iron ore, the basic conditions of British Newfoundland would be better than Australia's.

Ninety percent of Australia's population is located in several cities along the eastern coast, and Canberra is one of them. Pamela Mountbatten is leading the noble ladies who are supporting the scene to develop her own business in Australia while her fiancé goes deep into the mountains and forests. cause.

"I'm so grateful to Uncle William." Pamela Mountbatten thanked the old man in front of her obediently.

William Joseph Slim, the current Governor-General of Australia, a nearly 60-year-old soldier, the culmination of his life was to command the Anglo-Indian Corps to meet the Japanese army at Imphal, and won the battle of Imphal.

As we all know, Pamela Mountbatten's father, the current Governor of British India, Mountbatten, was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia at that time, that is, the boss of the Australian Governor.

Of course, this is very relevant. Didn't you see that the Portuguese government just announced that it would award General Mountbatten himself a medal in recognition of General Mountbatten's outstanding contribution to the security of the subcontinent?

"Oh, Pamela, isn't your father worried when you run around with these young ladies?" Admiral William Joseph Slim reminded lovingly, "You ladies of the family travel, let I felt a lot of pressure."

Admiral Slim had a very good relationship with Mountbatten, which was due to the friendship established during the war.

Slim himself and his superiors got along very poorly. On the Southeast Asian battlefield, his immediate superior, Admiral Liss, was dissatisfied with Slim. He suggested to Mountbatten that Slim should stay to clean up the resistance of the Japanese army in Burma, and Christson would be the leader. The general commanded the proposed campaign to attack Malaya, which meant removing Slim from his post as Army Commander.

Mountbatten himself is best at dancing with long sleeves. This is the reason why London sent him here, so he didn't want to offend the two subordinates, so he played a trick and agreed with Liss suggestion, but let Lis come forward and explain directly to Slim. .

In this way, the conflict between Slim and Leith always broke out, and Slim protested to London.

At this time, due to the overwhelming victory of Burma, Slim was finally recognized in London and established his personal reputation, and Lis was also deeply dissatisfied with Mountbatten's smooth attitude and publicly accused Mountbatten, commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, and Mountbatten. Then he wrote to the chief of the imperial general staff, Marshal Viscount Alan Brooke, to remove Lis from his post.

In this way, the dispute between Slim and his immediate boss was interfered by his biggest immediate boss, Mountbatten, and Slim became the winner of this dispute.

As a subordinate to defeat the immediate boss at that time, it is a difficult thing in the tradition of any country. It can be said that if it weren't for General Mountbatten and the muddy mud, General Slim would never have good fruit to eat.

With such a relationship, Pamela Mountbatten's request for help was naturally a matter of course.

"I don't understand you young people. A group of noble ladies insisted on setting up an exploration company."

Admiral Slim shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Pamela, let me remind you in the name of a friend of your father that the land in Australia is very barren, and many experts have said that there are no mineral resources here. You established Exploration companies make a trip to Australia and it is likely to come back in vain.”

"Uncle William, we have to believe that there is a miracle in the world. Australia's mineral resources are poor, so we need to help Australia even more. If a miracle occurs, it may establish a closer relationship between the UK and Australia. My fiancé said that once Australia After being independent for a long time, the intimacy with the UK may fade, and there is nothing stronger than the binding of interests."

Pamela Mountbatten replied politely, "We girls also want to contribute to the empire."

Whether or not the minerals can be explored is not very important in Pamela Mountbatten's view. The key is that her fiancé told her that Ellen Wilson made money in British India, and then handed it over to Pamela without saving a penny. In the hands of Ramon Button, this is not something that ordinary men can do.

Now I just hope that my fiancée will help me a little, she can't refuse, who makes this man love him too much.

"Your fiancé is Alan, who just became the chief executive of Newfoundland. If we have the opportunity, we will meet." Admiral Slim did not mention the word governor. The governor asked the cabinet to propose and His Majesty appointed him.

In fact, Alan Wilson was not appointed by His Majesty. Admiral Slim believed that Pamela Mountbatten's fiancé must have been deceived by the cunning head of the civil service. However, the things they can do are similar. What the Governor can do, the Chief Executive can do the same.

While the two were chatting, an officer pushed in the door and saluted at Admiral Slim, "Governor, it's a telegram from Newfoundland~lightnovelpub.net~ Let me see!" Admiral Lim got up and took the telegram directly, and then a playful smile appeared on his face, "Pamela, it's actually looking for you, your fiancé has brought the expedition team into the forest to investigate, and the rest is up to you. Look."

In the telegram, Alan Wilson mentioned his industrious life as an imperial civil servant, and at the same time he said hello to his fiancée who was far away in Australia, who didn't know if he was in business or not, and then mentioned the Newfoundland executive order he signed, which naturally also included the administration of tax havens. Order, but there is the most important part in Pamela Mountbatten's eyes, the part involving inheritance tax!

Seeing the part about inheritance tax, Pamela Mountbatten suddenly became restless, and was going to call her sisters together to talk about the impact of this incident on the aristocracy.

"He's still like this!" Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I brought the expedition into the mountains, and I don't know if it suits the local environment. I can't get in touch now. It's really a headache."

Pamela Mountbatten also wanted to tell Alan Wilson that, with the help of the Australian Governor, she had obtained the approval of the Australian government to conduct mineral exploration throughout Australia.

She hadn't sent a telegram yet, but she received the telegram first and brought good news about the inheritance tax. You must know that the aristocratic class can't do anything about the high inheritance tax, but her fiance made a gap.
