British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 410: exploration contract

Alan Wilson, who has already entered the deep mountains and forests, knew that Pamela Mountbatten had arrived in Australia, so he was not worried at all about achieving his goal. It is still the saying that blood is thicker than water.

After the signing of the Nassau Agreement in the future, if a nuclear war breaks out, the United Kingdom has already suffered a catastrophe.

Two of the top-secret records of British nuclear submarines involve two countries. The first is that if the United States still exists, it will directly accept the command of the United States to launch a counterattack, and the other is to go to Australia.

Australia is vast and sparsely populated. It is separated from mainstream European and American countries. Facing the demographic advantages of Asian countries, Australia has always been vigilant. However, until 1942, Australia was obviously guided by the interests of the British Empire.

After the United States entered the World War in 1942, the local political circles in Australia had a favorable impression of the United States almost instantly, and the impression of the United States became extremely positive, mainly because Japan was approaching step by step, and Australia could not resist with its own capabilities.

But so far, the United Kingdom and the United States are still equal priorities in the eyes of Australians. This perception would continue into the 1960s, when the US would completely establish its dominance over British influence in Australia.

Who made the Royal Navy almost doomed in the 1960s? In the close cultural relationship, one must also face the facts.

Alan Wilson's guess is indeed similar. This is almost a replica of Pamela Mountbatten's arrival in Australia. The British have always had a mental advantage in front of the Australians.

It's just that when she came, Ellen Wilson reminded her not to show such arrogance. In fact, the cost of living in Australia is much lower than that of the British. This will remain in place as long as the population does not reach the cap on Australian land.

Up to now, the UK is still Australia's largest trading country. 45% of Australia's imports and 30% of its exports are related to the UK.

Pamela Mountbatten brought a group of noble ladies, and the exploration plan negotiated with the Australian government went very smoothly, just like General Mountbatten was the Prime Minister of Australia.

Pamela Mountbatten was educated when Alan Wilson was still in British Malaya. After arriving in Australia, she has to do two things. First, don't mention the shameful performance of the British army in the Singapore campaign. If he couldn't escape, he scolded Churchill.

It is said that the British noble officers wanted to fight for Australia very much. It was Churchill who did not understand the military and commanded blindly, which led to the defeat of the British in the Battle of Singapore.

Another question about the European Community, if someone asks it, is that the Americans forced it, and the United Kingdom does not want to lead Europe.

Historically, after Churchill's three-ring diplomacy went bankrupt and the Suez War ended, the United Kingdom was forced to join the European Community by the United States. Apart from being humiliated by Charles de Gaulle, the rest of the relationship between Australia and the United Kingdom was cold.

Compared with the fall of the Singapore base during World War II, the UK's move to apply for EU membership constituted a more fundamental impact on the relationship between the UK and Australia. Australia even denounced the UK as unethical and dishonest.

In Canberra, Pamela Mountbatten held an expensive reception to express her gratitude to the local Australian elites who had been invited, and then said something very favorable, "If there is another war, I will also Join the army to defend Australia."

At the reception, Pamela Mountbatten attributed the shameful performance of the British in the Singapore campaign to Churchill's micro-manipulation. At the same time, it shows that no matter how good Europe is, it is not as good as Australia's blood is thicker than water.

As for the good impression, it was mentioned that the royal family and the aristocracy appreciate Australia, because Australia is a place of immigration for criminals, and speaking as aristocrats, Australians will feel valued.

The aristocracy's disgust towards Churchill is real, but it has nothing to do with Australia. It is entirely because the aristocracy suffered heavy losses in the World War.

It wasn't just an estate tax issue. Before the war, many British companies were owned by nobles.

But because Churchill had to fight to the end in the World War, under Roosevelt's strength, the Lend-Lease Act was extremely unfavorable to Britain, which led to the sale of companies owned by a large number of nobles to the United States under Churchill's pressure.

The United States specially "tailored" an additional clause for the United Kingdom: "The United Kingdom must sell all businesses of value in the United States before receiving assistance from the United States." This provision means that the United Kingdom has to sell a large number of high-quality American products to the United States. industry. When the British government protested this, it got a cold reply from the US: "The US government believes that this kind of sacrifice is necessary.

The Rolls-Royce company in the UK is just a lucky miss among the large number of high-quality companies accepted by the United States. A large number of high-quality companies operating in the United States were sold to the United States by Churchill overnight, resulting in heavy losses of British capital.

Naturally, when Pamela Mountbatten criticized Churchill and the noble lady who came to Australia with her, she was very sincere, even though Churchill and Mountbatten had a very good relationship.

No matter how good the relationship is, Pamela Mountbatten can't make Pamela Mountbatten's hostility towards cutting off people's money. If her fiancé hadn't made a gap in British Newfoundland, the aristocratic class would be really helpless in the current British environment.

Whether Alan Wilson's actions in Newfoundland will hurt the government's revenue depends on how.

In the long run, it will definitely happen, but the world war is over now, and there is no war in which a large number of nobles are killed in a short period of time. The next batch of noble heirs will be knocked out by the government, at least ten years later.

Therefore, this kind of harm is not very urgent for government revenue, but the aristocratic class sees this matter differently. Facing the London government, the aristocracy is now in a weak position, especially for families with only female heirs. Decades later, when feminism prevails, it can spray the government to spend.

But now the aristocrats can only endure silently. After the World War in the United Kingdom, the mainland has not recovered, but it has become the largest investor country for decades. It is definitely not without reason. A large number of nobles must transfer their wealth to prevent the final Inheritance tax in the name of become government revenue.

Alan Wilson just took advantage of Newfoundland's current special status to guide these fleeing capital to settle in a place that is relatively safe for Britain. If he does not do this, these fleeing capital will also go to the United States. Most people will definitely not sit still.

In terms of inheritance tax, the London side doesn't feel much about it in the short term, and there hasn't been a war that caused a large number of nobles to die in battle for them to harvest.

The current Prime Minister of Australia is Joseph Benadict Chifley, who, quite coincidentally, is the representative figure in Australian politics looking to the UK to quickly restore its national strength.

In fact, given the economic situation in Australia, it is long overdue to break away from the rationing system. But Chifley still withstood the pressure and maintained the policy of wartime economic control, including the policy of high oil prices, which made the public quite incomprehensible to him.

In fact, since Australia's trade relies heavily on Britain, Chifley's purpose of helping Britain is to hope that the British economy will quickly recover and become politically stable after the war, which will naturally bring many benefits to Australia's politics and economy.

Two days after this reception, Chifley summoned a representative of Mountbatten Exploration Company, namely Pamela Mountbatten. Prime Minister Chifley first asked very intimately how the situation in British India was.

This is because of the fierce conflict between the pacifists and Hindus in British India. In the area centered on Calcutta, the two religious sects had a religious conflict, and tens of thousands of people died.

This conflict, which originated in Calcutta, has spread to all parts of British India and is the biggest news in the world recently.

"The two major sects in India have been hostile for hundreds of years, and my father has nothing to do with it." Pamela Mountbatten said very well, "For two years, my father and the civil servants of British India have been doing their best to bridge the contradictions. Now come Seems to have little effect.”

"Oh, that's right." Prime Minister Chifley nodded clearly, "I don't know how much the country has recovered."

"The situation in London is not bad." Pamela Mountbatten knew that what Prime Minister Chifley said about the country was actually the United Kingdom. Because the imperial preferential system still exists, Australians can be regarded as subjects of the British Empire in a certain sense.

If Alan Wilson was here, he also knew that the reason why the UK finally joined the European Community, which made Australia unacceptable, was that at the same time when Britain joined the European Community, it began to regard Australia and some dominions as foreigners. Seriously hurt the feelings of Australians. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Sure enough, Prime Minister Chifley nodded happily and said, "Once London is fully restored, it will be of great benefit to the economic and trade relations with Australia."

"This is also the purpose of my coming to Australia, Dear Prime Minister." Pamela Mountbatten carefully prepared a series of words in strict accordance with the guidance of her fiancé. From arriving in Australia until now, the effect is very good.

Whether it is at the government level or the elite, these noble ladies from London are very favored, and the whole Canberra is praised.

After meeting with Prime Minister Chifley, the Australian government announced that Mountbatten Exploration Co., Ltd. will carry out mineral exploration rights throughout Australia. All expenses will be borne by the exploration company alone, and stated that Mountbatten Exploration Co., Ltd. will take out the minerals in Australia. The efforts of the poor country hat have been supported by a large number of nobles in London.

Then Pamela Mountbatten directly registered a mining company in Canberra. According to the agreement with the Australian government, the mining company will have priority in mining the discovered minerals. The contract states that after the mining company discovers resources, it will cooperate with Australia. The government, as well as the state government, split the profits.

In fact, for Australia, which has implemented a ban on iron ore exports for decades, the sharing agreement prepared by Pamela Mountbatten is very conscientious, and even considers Australia's feelings.
