British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 458: Some are happy, some are worried

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

"Don't be too happy, I have to give the results to Ottawa and Washington." Alan Wilson said this for no reason, suggesting that there may be changes in this matter.

Folk rhetoric is ready, Newfoundland is a feng shui gem, and both close neighbors want to be in their own hands.

The rebuttal is simpler. Compared with the British mainland separated by an Atlantic Ocean, the two close neighbors will only interfere in the internal affairs of Newfoundland. From the perspective of maximizing interests, if you have to choose a country, of course, choose the United Kingdom.

The result of the referendum is not without incident. The problem lies in the Labrador area. Newfoundland and Canada have always disputed the scope of Labrador. Of course, Canada is also the most worried thing. Like the United Kingdom, it is Newfoundland and Canada. The merger of Finland and the United States will turn the land dispute between Newfoundland and Canada into a territorial dispute between the United States and Canada, which is very unfavorable to Canada.

There is no need to worry about these things now. London naturally has a professional team to handle it. In fact, after becoming a royal territory, Newfoundland’s situation is similar to that of Greenland, a Danish dependency.

In the telegram to Ottawa, the explanation to the Governor of Canada, Harold Alexander, was to use Greenland as a metaphor, and also to inform the result of the referendum that the citizens of Newfoundland were still resistant to the merger with Canada. In the end, he chose to transform it into a royal domain to maintain autonomy.

Harold Alexander is the current Governor-General of Canada, and Alan Wilson feels that it is possible to communicate. The Governor-General, who was born in the military, will definitely return to Canada to explain the situation in Newfoundland.

The reason for this judgment is that Alan Wilson knew that Harold Alexander had been made earl of Tunisia. Recognizing contributions in the World War, already belonged to a member of the noble group, should understand the significance of Newfoundland.

As for the telegram sent to London, it was very official, and it was enough to apply it according to the normal official document format. The two heads of civil servants knew everything about Newfoundland well. Even if they didn't think Alan Wilson could do anything at first, they all understood it now.

Having done it all, Alan Wilson was relieved that things in Newfoundland were practically over for him now.

On the night the referendum results were announced, Alan Wilson gave an affectionate broadcast to show his love for the land, broadcasting his unequivocal statement that the Newfoundland Parliament was about to restart after the transition to a crown land, bringing George VI With the approval of the world, the state of self-government was restored.

Regarding the poaching faced by the Newfoundland fishing grounds, Alan Wilson proposed a solution, saying that the environment in Newfoundland is similar to that of Iceland, and a benign interactive relationship should be established between the two places.

Iceland is a dependency of Denmark, which became independent in 1944, and Alan Wilson mentioned the role of Iceland. This is because Iceland's pillar industry is also fishing, which is similar to Newfoundland.

In terms of natural resources, Iceland and Newfoundland are incomparable. It can be said that the fishing grounds are the greatest wealth in Iceland's hands.

In the broadcast, Alan Wilson also bluntly stated that Iceland and Newfoundland are similar, as well as the fact that Iceland's basic conditions are worse than Newfoundland. Under such conditions, Iceland will definitely be better than Newfoundland in terms of maintaining the interests of fishing grounds. Be more proactive.

This is also the case. In the decades after the war, Iceland's economy has relied on fishing, and because of this resource, it has had several conflicts with neighboring countries, including the famous "Cod War" with Britain.

Alan Wilson feels that if Newfoundland faces the future as a royal domain, it can also strive for a policy similar to Iceland, which is good for Newfoundland.

Iceland is actually the source of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone claim. It is precisely because Iceland has no good resources that it has been very radical on the issue of fishing grounds.

Some people may not understand that the fishery resources around these two islands were still very rich at that time, how could they be easily allowed to become independent? The main reason is that there is no such thing as an exclusive economic zone. The fishery resources around Iceland and the Newfoundland fishing grounds are all common resources for all mankind. As long as you have the ability to drive fishing boats there, you have the right to fish. cod.

European countries such as Spain and Portugal have been fishing for cod in the waters of Newfoundland for hundreds of years.

Since its independence, Iceland has started a series of hard operations to protect local fishery resources. First, a three-nautical-mile coastal no-fishing zone was established in the name of protesting "illegal harassment"; then a four-nautical-mile no-fishing zone was established in the 1950s to protect haddock and plaice.

Then, in the late 1950s, the territorial sea was expanded to 12 nautical miles; in the 1970s, the territorial sea was upgraded to 50 nautical miles, and then the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone was established to lead the world. In order to protect its fishery resources, Iceland cooperated with European countries. I don't know how many fights were done, and they were all classified as "Cod Wars".

Iceland also fought the cod war with the United Kingdom, but now that Newfoundland has become a royal territory, it is naturally not so simple to consider the problem. Since Iceland has set up a three-nautical-mile no-fishing zone, this matter is very simple, Iceland is three nautical miles, Newfoundland Just five nautical miles.

Because the results of the U.S. election are about to come out, the Republican Party is currently in a state of being on fire. Alan Wilson is ready to change the focus of his work and transfer his main work from Newfoundland to the United States, so he must leave a political achievement before he leaves.

"I will discuss with the Newfoundland Parliament, which is about to resume, a number of issues to protect Newfoundland's fishing grounds, and now I have to wait for London's answer." Alan Wilson's tone was quite strong, leaving Newfoundland citizens who had ended the referendum. deep impression.

Although many citizens speculate on what method the Chief Executive will use to safeguard the interests of the Newfoundland fishing grounds.

But in this world, there are no pure secrets. The remarks about legislation to expand the rights and interests of Newfoundland's fishing grounds are still quietly spread among the people of Newfoundland. The topic of discussion was very lively. Since Iceland can do this, of course Newfoundland can do it too.

The results of the Newfoundland referendum were also radioed to the Royal Salute en route to South Africa.

Pamela Mountbatten proudly read the telegram that had just arrived, "More than 50% of Newfoundland citizens are in favor of conversion to the self-government of the Crown Territory, the referendum has ended, and the current results are awaiting the answer from London. Elizabeth, Ai Len got it done."

"Pamela, I'll make you happy." Crown Prince Elizabeth smiled, pointing out that Pamela Mountbatten's remarks were not objective and neutral at all, "but I believe that many dukes and earls will be happy."

"Of course, the order and cornerstone of the British Empire has finally been stabilized." Pamela Mountbatten smiled, any prime minister is Tu Yile, and at the critical moment, his fiance had to come out.

"Look at this!" Princess Margaret, the **** of war with a crooked mouth, saw Pamela Mountbatten's proud expression, and she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Did that man say something that her sister would feel right?

Princess Margaret recalled the scene she encountered that night, and her face could not help but feel a little feverish.

"Actually, turning it into a royal domain would be a solution." Pamela Mountbatten didn't notice the situation of the love brain, and then made a contribution to her fiancé, "He is like this, he likes to deal with difficult problems."

Then why not keep British India? Princess Margaret rolled her eyes, but didn't dare to say it, for fear of being taught by her two sisters.

She also knew that since the last time she failed to expose the hypocrite, the difficulty of saving Pamela Mountbatten has increased again.

Alan Wilson didn't know that there was still a princess at sea who was still thinking about him. He was now reading a telegram from Boston. The results of the US election had come out, and beyond the expectations of all the mainstream media, Truman won.

Dewey won almost every industrial state in the East except Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but Dewey's advantage was surprisingly small. In some states such as New York and New Jersey, although Dewey won, it can be said to be a narrow victory given by Wallace.

The shocking election results came from states west of the Appalachian Mountains. In the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, Democrats are far ahead.

Even in Dewey's home state of Michigan, Dewey barely won. Preliminary results from 11 western states showed Dewey had an advantage only in Oregon. By midnight, vote counts in farming districts began to come in, still in favor of Democrats. So far, the electoral situation has become clear.

Along with Truman's victory, and the Democrats' victory in the congressional elections, taking back the Senate and the House of Representatives, and three new Democratic governors, it's a big win by any measure.

"The most famous photo in America right now is of Truman holding the newspaper where Dewey won the election~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson finished reading the telegram. That photo is very famous and he has seen it.

"Okay, dear members, the draft on the five-nautical-mile no-fishing zone has been decided. When the Newfoundland Parliament officially resumes, everyone will vote at that time." Alan Wilson put down the telegram and directed the committee members gathered here. He opened his mouth and said, "My term is not over yet, but the focus of work may have to shift. After it is transformed into a royal domain, the power of Newfoundland will belong to the citizens, and I don't need me as the chief executive. At that time, I will shift the focus of my work. ."

Now the Republican Party is in a state of confusion, and Alan Wilson wants to see it, and he won't be able to see it later.

While the commissioners were holding back, telling Alan Wilson's contribution to Newfoundland, Boris entered the hall with a telegram, "Sir Alan, telegram from London."

"Bring it to me!" Alan Wilson received the telegram again, scanned it, and congratulated the Newfoundland commissioners, "Dear gentlemen, London has approved the result of this referendum, now, let's go Let’s talk about the parliamentary elections in Newfoundland, I’m sure everyone can’t wait.”

Ha ha! The Newfoundland Parliament Building was instantly filled with laughter and laughter, completely different from the cursed Niang Xipi in a mansion in East Asia.
