British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 411: Collective enterprises

It is also reasonable that the Australian government attaches great importance to the noble ladies from the UK.

Pamela Mountbatten takes a group of noble ladies and visits local celebrities in an attempt to regain the goodwill of Australians.

The most consensus issue is that the North is fighting for the independent Dutch East Indies. The population of the East Indies is ten times that of Australia. This kind of population pressure does exist, and every Australian cannot take it lightly. .

Away from the mainstream culture of Europe and the United States, Australia, which faces the pressure of Asian population, has always entrusted its own safety to its brothers of the same family. In a few decades, it will be the United States and now the United Kingdom.

"Dear Prime Minister, Britain is trying to establish a base in Malaya to contain the Dutch East Indies. At the same time, it supports the Netherlands to divide New Guinea, and it is also to create a buffer zone for Australia. As long as we, the United Kingdom, and other European countries are still in Asia one day, Australia Don't worry about your safety."

The problem Pamela Mountbatten talked about is a problem that Australia has always been worried about. After decades, it has been shown that whoever is a challenger to the United States will be bitten by Australia, whether it is Japan, Indonesia or a major country. Australia cares more about American hegemony than it cares about the Americans themselves.

And now, the strength of the British Royal Navy is still there, and Australia relies heavily on the United Kingdom.

Naturally, after hearing Pamela Mountbatten's words, Prime Minister Chifley was very relieved. "The movement of the Dutch East Indies is indeed something we are very concerned about. We are very moved by the fact that London can think of this."

"After all, the British mainland is too far away from Asia. During World War II, we despised the Japanese. This kind of mistake will not occur again." Pamela Mountbatten said with a small smile, "My father is in favor of this, and he also pointed out, After all, the Netherlands has few villains, and it is very difficult to rule the East Indies, and there is a possibility of failure. If Australia can help by the side, the success rate of this matter will be much higher.”

Pamela Mountbatten's key political knowledge reserve naturally originated from the Governor of Newfoundland in the mountains and forests, not the Governor of British India, Mountbatten, but the credit is attributed to Mountbatten, which is more acceptable to the Australian Prime Minister.

Anyway, Mountbatten was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia in the World War. As the daughter of the commander-in-chief, Pamela Mountbatten should have such a reserve of key political knowledge, and it is logical to say these words.

Prime Minister Chifley naturally expressed that he is very willing to assist the Netherlands in establishing a buffer zone to separate Australia from the East Indies. Although the Dutch people's feelings are one level worse after all, when they think of the large population of the East Indies, they feel Appears very amiable.

"The key to maintaining the British Empire's military presence in Asia is the Suez Canal. In fact, the United States' attitude towards the colonies is very distressing to London. If the Suez Canal is taken out of the Empire's control. The British Empire's power to protect Australia will inevitably be Greatly reduced."

"General Mountbatten's vision is admirable." Prime Minister Chifley said with admiration on his face, thinking that Pamela Mountbatten's vision came from Mountbatten himself.

Prime Minister Chifley's admiration is sincere. Although Australia is a big island, Australians do not have an island mentality. solve the problem before.

Seeing that Prime Minister Chifley was so good at talking, Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but admire, "All in!"

It was as if Ellen Wilson was by her side, and she could see through Australia's heart for national security.

Australia is a strategic fulcrum for Britain in its quest for maritime supremacy with the Netherlands. At that time in the South Pacific, the Dutch had the largest territory, occupying the East Indies; the Philippines was a colony of Spain, which was later robbed by the Americans.

The British had vicious eyes, occupied Malaysia and Singapore, controlled the Strait of Malacca, and choked the Dutch and French by the sea. And Australia, as an aid to the British Empire, resisted the Dutch's lower back in the south.

Now that the national liberation movement is surging all over the world, Australia's biggest threat is no longer the Dutch, but the Indonesians who have been resisting constantly. London also expects Australia to play a greater role.

Speaking of which, the UK still has a lot of warships waiting to be sold, and Australia can be a good buyer.

At this time in 1948, there should have been the Soviet Union's move to Sovietize Czechoslovakia, but it was not until Alan Wilson came out of the Humber Valley, where there was almost no logging site, that this incident occurred. It didn't happen either.

His investigation this time was very optimistic. The pitifully small logging area was due to manpower problems rather than resource problems.

At present, it is taking advantage of the fact that the Trade Commission of the British Occupied Area is still the uncle, to measure the forestry resources of Newfoundland, to gain the favor of the European market, to exert one's own strength as much as possible, and to exchange resources for money.

It happened that Alan Wilson returned to the capital, St. Johns, and the freighter carrying the Chinese workers arrived at the port of St. Johns.

The faces of Chinese people shocked the local residents of Newfoundland. How could so many aliens suddenly flood into their hometown like a paradise?

In the evening, Alan Wilson's voice reappeared on the Newfoundland resident's radio, explaining the arriving Chinese workers and the next plan.

"After careful thought, the idea of ​​colonial complementarity is very necessary for the current Newfoundland."

Alan Wilson held the written speech, spoke to the microphone and used a tired voice to communicate with the residents of Newfoundland for the second time, and talked about his inspection of the logging area in the Humber River Basin.

"My initial assumption is to maintain production of 10,000 cubic meters per day, including rough processing. Send Newfoundland's forestry resources to the European market that urgently needs raw materials to rebuild, but at present, Newfoundland's local labor force has extremely high big gap."

"As for whether there will be conflicts, there is no need to worry about it. The militiamen who came to Newfoundland from Northern Rhodesia are helping the local residents to isolate the conflicts from these Chinese workers."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson paused, not for any special reason, but simply because he was turning the page, and then saw the prompt on the paper, read this cough a few times, and coughed a few times into the microphone, Continue reading, "I'm very sorry, I may have caught a cold while visiting the Humber River Basin."

Along with the intermittent coughing, Alan Wilson's voice continued on the radio, known to thousands of households in Newfoundland, and at the end of the broadcast, the voice from the radio said, "I am willing to come All Chinese workers in Newfoundland eat and live together in the logging area, and use this attitude to ensure the psychological safety of the local residents.”

The first batch of Chinese workers who arrived had a place to stay during Alan Wilson's performance of pretending to be sick.

There is another problem. After investigating the Humber River Basin, Alan Wilson is more aware that manpower cannot solve all problems, at least not in forestry production.

Due to the terrain of the Humber River Basin, vehicles are hardly used. Fortunately, it can save a lot of time by just pushing the wood from the felling area into the river, but this section cannot be solved by manpower.

As long as the help of animal power is needed, that means at least horses are needed as auxiliary tools. So he called the Governor of Newfoundland, Joseph Roberts Smallwood, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Joy, I have a glorious and arduous task, and it seems that only you are more suitable."

"Mr. Allen, please speak." Smallwood also restrained his verbal socialism a little when he saw Alan Wilson, who had been absent for more than half a month and had a clear look of weather on his face.

In the broadcast last night, Alan Wilson promised to live and eat with the Chinese workers who came to Newfoundland. I don't know how the response was, but he did make a lot of sacrifices.

"It's a very important thing, but it may not be very difficult for you. I need to buy a batch of horses in Canada as a help for logging. At present, the settlements at the mouth of the Humber River, the horses in reserve are far It's not enough." Alan Wilson smiled and said, "I'm from China, and I don't have a very close relationship with Canada, so I need your help."

As we all know, Canada is vast in land and sparsely populated. In fact, the livestock industry is not weak in countries with vast land and sparse population. Many, or vast territory.

Because animal husbandry itself has no added value, if the country has population pressure, it must be placed after industry and agriculture. Unless, like in British India, cows are considered sacred and they turn a blind eye to cows roaming the streets.

If the animal husbandry industry is strong and can become an industry valued by the country, it must be a country with a vast land and a sparse population, such as Canada.

"Okay, I don't know how much?" Smallwood really had enough contacts in Canada, so he decisively agreed.

"Three thousand horses is enough!" Alan Wilson pondered for a while and gave a rough figure.

A day later, Smallwood set off by boat for Canada, and when he got on board and left, Alan Wilson announced at the Governor's House that the Newfoundland Timber Consortium would be established to manage the export of forestry resources to the European market, "The Humber River Basin. , divided into ten harvesting areas, and the estuary is roughed.”

"I am currently in charge of the Newfoundland Timber Association. Any Newfoundland citizen has the right to supervise. Newfoundland residents can elect a committee to conduct audits to prevent some low morals. In fact, I have the opportunity to embezzle. Timber Union The entity is in principle owned by all Newfoundland citizens, and the proceeds will be used for the development of Newfoundland, which is a collective enterprise.”
