v1 Chapter 450: prepare for the referendum

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of British Civil Service!

Although the United Kingdom has never believed that a powerful country has stood in the East.

But after all, it is also true that they can't do whatever they want like in the colonial era. New Delhi has communicated with London about the situation in Kashmir and recognized the special interests of the United Kingdom in the subcontinent. There is only one drama left on its own side.

Of course, the proposal of the peacekeeping force did not come out of nothing. The United States and the Soviet Union expressed interest in this proposal.

He said that although the world is generally peaceful at present, it is also necessary for the United Nations to play a greater role in order to avoid repeating the old path of the two world wars.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Alan Wilson. Although he did do some things that are conducive to openness and transparency through some internal civil servants' friendship, in the end, whether it is India and Pakistan, or Arab and Israel, the fate is in his own hands after all. of.

The big event in front of us is the Newfoundland referendum that has already been set. No matter what plans the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain have at the UN General Assembly, it has nothing to do with the status of Newfoundland.

The current Crown Prince Elizabeth is on a visit to Canada. Naturally, there is praise wherever he goes. The crown prince and his wife are visiting the territory of the future Queen of Canada with praise and support.

Canada also issued a commemorative stamp of Crown Prince Elizabeth to commemorate the Crown Prince's visit to Canada this time.

In general, this time Crown Prince Elizabeth's visit to Canada is unprecedented. According to the schedule, the crown prince and his wife are holding elections in the United States, and the next stop is South Africa.

While the Crown Prince and his wife left Canada, Alan Wilson was negotiating with Newfoundland Governor Smallwood about the referendum, "Dear Joey, I believe you have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"

"Oh, Alan, it's what every citizen of Newfoundland looks forward to about determining the future of Newfoundland," Smallwood responded calmly. "Sooner or later, isn't it?"

"Yes, there will be such a day sooner or later." Alan Wilson nodded, indicating that he was already mentally prepared.

In fact, the matter of the Newfoundland referendum is nothing more than the relationship between Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

After World War II, the United Kingdom continued to cut its budget for Newfoundland, hoping that Newfoundland would join the Canadian Confederation and terminate the sending government.

At first Newfoundland turned to Canada, hoping to restore responsible government. But Canada was lukewarm, saying it had no interest in helping Newfoundland financially unless Newfoundland opted to join the Canadian Confederation.

Although the proposal to join the United States was strongly opposed in Newfoundland, both the United Kingdom and Canada believe that Newfoundland will eventually choose to join the United States, especially if Newfoundland is again in financial difficulties. The British could not tolerate the addition of the British North American colonies to the United States, and feared that the addition of Newfoundland to the United States would intensify the Labrador border dispute.

The Canadian side believes that Newfoundland's accession to the Canadian Confederation is not beneficial to its own economy, and if Newfoundland joins the United States, Canada will be surrounded by American territory on almost all sides. In the end, the British government banned Newfoundland from holding a vote on whether to join the United States.

That's what happened to Alan Wilson before he set off in London, and the real bottom line for London was to do everything possible to stop Newfoundland from getting closer to the United States, even if it meant sending Newfoundland to Canada.

Before Alan Wilson set off, Newfoundland sent two delegations to London and Ottawa respectively to negotiate the future of Newfoundland. The official delegation went to London and the non-governmental delegation went to Ottawa.

It can be seen that among the middle and upper classes of Newfoundland, the voice against the merger with Canada is more overwhelming.

And Alan Wilson can see from the historical referendum results that the voice against the merger with Canada is not the middle and upper class to protect their own interests, but indeed represents a large part of Newfoundland's public opinion.

Newfoundland eventually became part of Canada, a result of British pressure. The delegation to Ottawa, because it did not have an official color, was also coldly received by Canada.

This is the backdrop for Alan Wilson's arrival in Newfoundland, after more than half a year of work, and delaying tactics. Anyway, so far, Newfoundland is doing very well.

The current crown prince and his wife have just left Newfoundland. Alan Wilson felt that the time was almost up, so he discussed with Smallwood whether it could be discussed publicly to determine the future of Newfoundland.

After the two reached an agreement, Alan Wilson spread the news about discussing the future of Newfoundland. It was scheduled to be discussed at the Newfoundland Parliament Building on October 2, and it would be broadcast by all Newfoundland citizens. .

When Smallwood left the Governor's House, Alan Wilson first confirmed the news on the evening broadcast.

Like throwing stones into a calm pond, the broadcast immediately had an impact in the capital, St. John's. It then spread throughout Newfoundland and became a hot topic among Newfoundland citizens.

On October 2, 1948, many residents of Newfoundland were waiting at home, not going out or fishing as usual, waiting for the radio to ring.

At this time, in the Newfoundland Parliament building, the members of the Newfoundland Committee sat down one by one, including Smallwood, a total of forty-five Newfoundland representatives, plus Justice Fox, and his chief executive , providing forty-seven people.

"Dear delegates, time flies really fast, we meet again." Alan Wilson said hello first, "This discussion will reach the ears of Newfoundland citizens at the same time. of Newfoundland citizens are transparent, which is conducive to a transparent government."

In a different environment, Alan Wilson will stop saying anything, you can be transparent, or you can have a government.

"At this moment, there are still parts of the world that are in the midst of war, such as East Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. What we are going to discuss today is to use a peaceful attitude, use the most reasonable and well-founded remarks, and solemnly Talking about the future of Newfoundland, Newfoundland has left a deep impression on me since I took office, and the work experience here will be a valuable asset in my life.”

Seeing the delegates who arrived at the House of Representatives nod, Alan Wilson started talking about how powerful Newfoundland is. As the chief executive appointed by the British Empire, Alan Wilson finished talking about the improvement of the local economy in Newfoundland for more than half a year. After that, he began to wait for the representatives of all parties to express their opinions, and at the same time, he reminded, "Pay attention to the tone of your speech. Many citizens of Newfoundland believe that they are listening."

"Since the Chief Executive has made his words very clear, I will talk about my thoughts. I think Newfoundland should join the Canadian Federation. At present, Canada has established a social security system covering the whole society." Smallwood first He said, "The advantage of joining Canada is that all citizens of Newfoundland have a guarantee."

"Mr. Joy is right, but the price is that the sovereignty of the Newfoundland fishing grounds will be owned by Canada." As soon as Smallwood's voice fell, other representatives immediately retorted, "At this meeting, someone is planning to Newfoundland sold to Canada."

The sound was so loud that many Newfoundland citizens who were listening to the radio even heard a harsh busy tone.

"Uh, that's the truth." Alan Wilson frowned when he saw the tit-for-tat scene from the very beginning, and his heart was overjoyed. I'm talking about the sovereignty of the Newfoundland fishing grounds and nothing else."

"And from the perspective of social security, Newfoundland is fully capable of establishing a similar system. Compared with Newfoundland's population and industries, in fact, in terms of per capita resource occupation, this is not a big problem. Of course, Newfoundland does not have the All conditions of independence."

Allen Wilson said eloquently, "The key is to prevent cross-border fishing. Newfoundland does not have a manpower to establish a basic small fleet to conduct regular patrols in the waters under its jurisdiction."

Seeing the forty-five members nod their heads, expressing their approval of the words of the Chief Executive appointed by London, I feel that they are still very neutral and objective.

Alan Wilson continued, "In fact, there is another problem, that is, the current capital inflow in Newfoundland has a huge relationship with corporate tax, which is only realized in the current special state of Newfoundland ~lightnovelpub.net~ Yes. On the issue of corporate tax, Newfoundland and Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom are completely different, and they are in the intersection of the three, which has resulted in a huge fiscal surplus for several months. If this neutrality is lost Sex? Probably not a good thing."

"Powerful forestry resources are another thing I said. In fact, from the perspective of Canada, Australia and the United States, it is far easier for Canada and Australia to earn the same amount of money than the United States. Because there is no social security in the United States. Moreover, the population of the United States is too large, and it is unrealistic to rely entirely on the state to ensure all expenditures, and the United States is not a government that wants to establish a social security system, which is in conflict with the concept of the United States.”

Although Alan Wilson is only an objective analysis, it actually blocks Canada's road in terms of fishing grounds. At the same time, through the perspective of social security, the United States is excluded.

Smallwood hesitated to speak, but he could not help sighing when he saw that most of the Newfoundland representatives agreed with these words.

“Should we give up capital inflows on corporate tax issues? Or special treatment for European raw material imports? That depends on the minds of Newfoundland citizens. The main question is whether Newfoundland can be made for everyone in the days to come. This is the most important issue in a high-level area that we all envy.”
