v1 Chapter 416: Newfoundland Total Leaks

Alan Wilson also took the time to ask about the current political environment in the United States. As a member of the upper class, Smith Hammer, who is at least in the same class as Drake, the director of the United States Steel Corporation, should have his own views.

Smith Hamer pondered for a while, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with saying something in front of an Englishman. He thought about it and said, "The time of war is over, in fact, we all desperately hope that Mr. Dewey can lead our country. It's not good for the country to be under the control of one party for a long time, and most people don't like the idea of ​​​​the Democratic Party."

Most people don't like it very much? Alan Wilson twitched the corners of his mouth. Most of these people should be in the middle and upper income class in the United States, right? The result of the general election was obviously that Truman, who continued Roosevelt's policy, won the election.

Because of the relationship between the Civil War, the Democratic Party is a political party with a historical burden in the United States. It is very difficult to win the Republican Party once. Unless the international situation is tense, otherwise in a normal year election, as long as the Republican Party completes the inner-party competition, basically There is an eighty percent chance of winning.

Excluding the two Democratic Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt during World War I and World War II, there are only a handful of times the Democrats can win the Republicans in other election years, and the winning rate is not generally low.

Now that the war is over, and most of the funders also support the Republican Party's comeback, if Dewey, who is so optimistic about it, loses the election, it can only mean that times have changed. Roosevelt has completely carried the Democratic Party from the historical burden of the Democratic losers of the Civil War. come out.

Obviously, the Republican Party is also full of confidence in regaining power this time. If it loses, it will definitely have a very big impact on the Republican Party's philosophy. It is no wonder that after Truman's victory, the Republican Party supported McCarthy so much, which runs counter to the image of a successful person created by the Republican Party. , completely lost.

Boston should also be the place to support the Republican Party. Alan Wilson feels that if there is time at the end of the year, he should take time to see what the state of the Republican Party is. He has some opinions on the result of losing the popular vote for the first time in peacetime. , especially when the situation before the election is good.

Alan Wilson, who had a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, personally sent Smith Hammer on board. The other party also had a shocked expression. He promised to ask after returning to the ship, those garbage that no one wanted... Delicate pig's hands and internal organs , how is it handled.

As the richest country in the world today, the United States is also undergoing a food revolution. A competition called "The Chicken of Tomorrow" kicked off in 1946. Farmers and chicken farms across the United States Farm managers all came to participate in the competition. They each selected the most satisfactory eggs and sent them to a purpose-built facility for incubation. The chicks were incubated and raised on a standard diet. Special personnel closely followed the chicks and monitored their appearance, weight and State of health.

This year is the final year. If nothing else, the white-feathered chicken will also be on the altar through this competition. From the current fifty-six days to slaughter one kilogram, step by step to the forty-five days to slaughter four kilograms.

The Chicken of Tomorrow Competition is very popular in the United States, and the organizers invite celebrities and TV stations to broadcast it live.

This is very consistent with Alan Wilson's original intention. He also did the same. He invited Hollywood actresses to shoot promotional films for Newfoundland, including Newfoundland spokespersons, as well as spokespersons representing forestry, fishing and tax avoidance tourism. Just waiting people arrive.

Just a few days after returning to the capital, St. Johns, Alan Wilson received telegrams one after another. Pamela Mountbatten asked where to go for exploration. Alan Wilson said in the reply that this matter should not be rushed.

Based on his experience as a lumberjack in deep mountains and old forests, he persuaded his fiancée's eager attitude. If he signed the contract with the front foot and found the iron ore with the back foot, it is not obvious that the UK has known about this for a long time. Are people hiding?

Obviously it's a good thing, it helps the British mainland and Australia get closer and forget the unpleasantness of the Singapore campaign. It's not unattractive in case it messes up, and Alan Wilson in the telegram argued that a one-year period would be more appropriate.

Alan Wilson calculated the time. If iron ore is discovered next year, it will take one year to make the necessary investment.

Then when the price of iron ore rose in the Korean War, it almost happened to enter the market. He still felt that the Korean War would break out, because after Hokkaido was occupied by the Soviet Union, the Americans still took back half of the Korean peninsula.

Compared with the situation and history in Northeast Asia, except for Hokkaido, no significant changes have taken place.

Compared with the vigorous plans for the construction of the Red Navy, the difference between Stalin and Khrushchev is that Stalin was actually extremely enthusiastic about the construction of the Red Navy after the war, and his enthusiasm even exceeded the actual needs of the current Soviet Union.

Stalin instructed the Navy to restart construction of the "Grand Fleet" before the Battle of Berlin, including the resumption of construction of the battleship "Soviet".

The Soviet Naval Science and Technology Committee also inspected the hull of the "Kronstadt" in the spring of 1945, but the structure and protection of the warship are well balanced and can be transformed into a new large aircraft carrier.

According to this plan, ten years after the end of the war, the Red Navy should have four battleships, ten battlecruisers, thirty heavy cruisers, fifty-four light cruisers, six aircraft carriers, six small aircraft carriers, and one large destroyer. A fleet of 132 ships and 226 destroyers.

Alan Wilson, who was in the bitter cold of Newfoundland, also did not forget his respected father-in-law, General Mountbatten, who was presiding over the partition of India and Pakistan.

Mountbatten's schedule has been very tight lately, and it has been set to travel between India and Pakistan in two days to participate in two Independence Day celebrations.

There is also a son-in-law far away in Newfoundland, who, in the telegram, talks about the future of the Royal Navy. The problem is that, having never forgotten his dream, Mountbatten, who will be the future first naval secretary, is not immune to this topic.

Alan Wilson's telegram stated that the extra military spending to build the Royal Navy was not enough for Labour's claims. It is more realistic to be able to complete the normal replacement, and financially, we can also think of ways.

As for how the navy could cry poor, Alan Wilson mentioned the construction of the Red Navy, which is no secret. The five-year plan of the Soviet Union at various levels is written, all of which are public news.

Whether it can successfully shape the threat theory of the Soviet Red Navy may have an effect on the normal renewal of the Royal Navy without interruption. If Mountbatten is willing to show his connections and communicate with the military leaders, there may be unexpected results.

Before the call from his father-in-law came, Alan Wilson had another fireside chat after Smith Hammer left Newfoundland to explain the discussion with Smith Hammer about the development of Newfoundland's fisheries.

At the same time, the main purpose is to secretly stuff private goods, showing from the side that the current state of Newfoundland is the most beneficial to future development. In this broadcast, Alan Wilson mentioned the specific development plan of Newfoundland, including The development of fishery, forestry and trade free port in three directions.

"Although I am young, I have visited many places under the British Empire, but only Newfoundland has given me the impression that no one has seen what heaven is like, but Newfoundland fits my definition of heaven."

Starting with a model where there is heaven above and New Island below, Alan Wilson talked about the geographical location of Newfoundland, which is simply taking into account the European and American continents. It is possible to do a lot of things through the geographical location between Europe and America. .

It's almost as if the two wings of the Newfoundland version are flying together. During the broadcast, Alan Wilson expressed his expectations for a free trade port and his optimism about forestry resources. However, after praising the uniqueness of fishery resources as usual, he proposed a concern.

“Modern society has become more and more efficient in acquiring resources, and this is not a good thing or a bad thing. From the point of view of food, when we think that God’s gifts are inexhaustible, nature always Remind us not to be too optimistic about this."

"In Mauritius, humans discovered the dodo, which was declared extinct within two hundred years..."

"The Stella manatee in the Bering Strait is the largest animal other than whales. It has only been 27 years since they were discovered to extinction~lightnovelpub.net~ Once in the North American sky, passenger pigeons covered the sky, once The sun was blocked when taking off. Passenger pigeons with a scale of five billion only lasted for a hundred years.”

"The technological development of society has turned upside down, and trawlers are getting bigger and bigger and sailing farther and farther. Newfoundland fishing grounds are a coveted target in the eyes of trawlers from various unknown countries, and it is too late to prevent poaching. If I agree to the proposal to increase production, it would be equivalent to opening up the Newfoundland fishing grounds to trawlers, the citizens of Newfoundland can get money in the short term, but maybe twenty years from now, the fishing grounds will be depleted."

Alan Wilson said on the radio that he would never selfishly give up the natural treasures of Newfoundland and turn it into a one-time sale.

And the subtext is that as long as Newfoundlanders can make their own decisions, they have undisputed control over Newfoundland fishing grounds.

Trawlers from other countries dare to sneak in, and if Newfoundland becomes part of other countries, then its fate is not in its own hands.

He couldn't make it too obvious in the official broadcast, but of course, his interpretation of this broadcast was leaked out unexpectedly, forming a discussion among the residents of Newfoundland.
