v2 Chapter 1057: Consolidate the aviation industry

The balance within the party is the first thing that Eden considers. At a young age, Eden became the No. 2 figure in the Conservative Party, but he was also suppressed by Churchill for many years. After the end of the World War, the Labor Party ushered in a long period of power. Aiden, who had a smooth life in the first half of his life, did not ascend the throne of prime minister until he was in his sixties.

For the current position of Prime Minister, Aiden cherishes it very much, it is too hard to come by.

And now Aiden, like Churchill at the beginning, also chose to suppress potential competitors.

"The Foreign Secretary is in an embarrassing situation." Alan Wilson, who had left the dye factory, talked to Makins about Macmillan's situation. The conversion of subject and object status between Britain and the United States can also be used in intra-party competition.

Leaving aside Eden and Macmillan, just look at the complicated relationship between Attlee and Morrison in the previous government. Few top leaders would willingly watch their former subordinates become their own leaders.

Attlee beat Morrison decades ago and then nearly crushed his party rival for life.

"Which minister is not in an embarrassing situation?" Makins smiled. "Not to mention all of them. Most ministers have a little understanding of the scope of their management. Who knows what they were doing before they were elected. Maybe they are engaged in women's movement of!"

"I have really met such a minister." Alan Wilson teased. The Minister of Indian Affairs more than ten years ago was a person who advocated equal rights and supported the women's movement. "But the field of diplomacy is different after all. The minister is in charge of foreign-related work, and the citizens of the country want to treat foreigners as harshly as possible, but the minister's job is just the opposite. Letting the foreign minister go around from time to time also relieves his pressure."

Macmillan was to Eden what Brezhnev was to Kozlov. The qualifications are not comparable, the status is not comparable, and the age is a little older than the other party. Normally, it is impossible to cause much challenge.

Macmillan was able to take the position, thanks to Aiden stepping into the sinkhole of the Suez Canal War without hesitation.

But for now, Egypt is still stable, and there is no shadow of turmoil. Originally, there was another option for the six-party talks on the Iranian oil crisis to be held in Cairo, but later, out of balance considerations, it was held in Basra in southern Iraq.

Anyway, it must be held in a city in an Arab country, pretending to be related to the Arabs, and forming an impression on ordinary Arabs that the Arabs can determine the fate of the Persians is the best.

The two got in the car and returned the same way. Makins asked while driving, "By the way, the whole of French Africa fell apart. You are also very busy recently. You must avoid impacting the British African colonies."

"Falling apart? As of now, Algeria is not yet independent. And I heard that the evacuated immigrants from Cameroon did not return to France, but went to Algeria." Alan Wilson leaned comfortably on the passenger car and said to himself , "If Algeria is still there, there will be no independence in French Africa. Even if Algeria is independent, maybe the French will have a way."

"Maintain ties with France, which will have economic benefits; or complete independence, and all assistance and protection provided by France in Africa will be interrupted", the former will be chosen rationally, which gives France a lot of room for maneuver .

Only Guinea, the unlucky one, chose to be completely independent. As a result, Guinea's telephone system was cut off by France on the same day, all economic aid was canceled overnight, and all French personnel were withdrawn. It was blown up, and everything after the nineteenth century disappeared from Guinea.

"Do they still want to play big in Algeria?" Maggins shook his head, "Very challenging idea."

"Who said it wasn't?" Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes, thinking about another matter absently. What did the minister think about the merger of the Malawi colony?

Except for the colonies in North Africa, most of the land in British Africa is far more livable than the French colonies.

In the 21st century, several countries in French Africa next to the Sahara Desert, due to population expansion and deteriorating living conditions, are already living in a very difficult situation. On the contrary, the independent countries of British Africa are far from being impoverished.

The British colonies are not without shortage of resources, but a large population. In fact, Malawi is, so trying to merge it with Tanzania is also out of consideration of avoiding humanitarian disasters.

For a parliamentary country, even if you think about it, parties with supporters may not necessarily agree to merge an unfamiliar place. Under the electoral system, this may bring unexpected changes to the political situation.

But Nyerere doesn’t have this problem. Nyerere is a pro-Soviet leader. After independence, Tanzania is a de facto country with the Soviet system. At least such a country does not need to consider the disadvantages caused by elections.

Now that Zanzibar can be merged, Nyerere should not refuse to merge Malawi now.

Anyway, before the ownership of Algeria is determined, Britain must not let go of the colonies that are not independent now. The corners and corners are harmless, and the sprawling British East Africa needs to be considered for a while.

Alan Wilson still took time out of his busy schedule to come to the home of Ms. Xia Meng, the oriental face that British citizens are most familiar with at present. The arrival of the nobleman was appointed, and Xia Meng was asked to cook by herself, "Actually, I am also good at cooking, Huaiyang The dishes are very good, even if the ingredients are from the UK, there may be some problems.”

"Huaiyang cuisine of the four major cuisines? Malaya also has it, but it's not as common as Cantonese cuisine." Alan Wilson praised with a smile, hugging Xia Meng's waist from behind, "I don't know how it is different from Cantonese cuisine, but since You did it, even if it was poison, I would eat it up without blinking."

The four major cuisines are the concept of this era, and will be replaced by the concept of the eight major cuisines in another thirty years. This is also normal, an era has a concept of an era, and there are naturally different considerations for proposing concepts.

In Alan Wilson's previous life, there was the concept of a new first-tier city, but apart from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, how many people recognized it? But it's all about the narcissism of the cities on the list, maybe in a few decades.

"My mouth seems to be covered with honey." Xia Meng giggled and turned around, "Are you telling the truth?"

"of course not! Alan Wilson lied with a serious face. What he said just now is essentially the same as saying that Indian culture is profound and profound. Even if he is sincere, it is not much. "Britain is special. If you are in a Latin country, don't boast about food culture. Food culture from all over the world There are different tastes, and there is no distinction between high and low."

It is difficult for a public figure to be stepped on because of a single sentence, especially Xia Meng is a foreigner, who is easy to be caught slipping. This problem does not exist for native people. The current European and American generations are far from being able to pretend to be tolerant.

Xia Meng made Yangzhou fried rice and corn with pine nuts, and fried lamb with green onions at the man's request.

Alan Wilson prepared oysters, and then fried a plate of leeks. There is actually no such thing as leeks in the UK, but the main thing is to share whoever wants to eat it. If he wants to eat it, someone will naturally send it halfway across the world.

The rosiness on Xia Meng's face has never gone down during this meal, why the dishes that the man in front of her wants her to cook are all related to that kind of thing.

Alan Wilson, who was eating a big piece, said while eating, "You're welcome, I will tell you about a play later."

To be honest, he has a joint venture car project that he wants to discuss with Xia Meng. Xia Meng is also twenty-seven years old, and it is time to think about the next generation.

As night fell, Xia Meng leaned against the man's arms, her face still blushing, she drew circles on the man's chest with her fingers, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that your wife is a very wealthy person, so she won't hinder you." Bar."

"Very wealthy? She is the wealthiest woman in the world." Alan Wilson lit a cigarette, which looked like a red dot in the dark night, "Don't inquire about her affairs."

Pamela Mountbatten is not in London now, otherwise how would he have the guts to go directly to Xia Meng's place for the night?

The richest woman in Britain went to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. Naturally, she went for the Belfast strategic transport aircraft. Because the parent company, Short Brothers, has limited financial resources, although production has started in October last year, it has been bumpy. Progress is very slow.

Alan Wilson, who learned the news from Marshal Mountbatten, directly asked Pamela Mountbatten to try to talk to Short Brothers. The current British aircraft manufacturers are definitely overweight, including Short Brothers. There are also a series of aircraft manufacturers such as De Havilland, Avro, Armstrong Whitworth, Bristol, Handley Bakey, and Gloucester.

Many of these companies are comprehensive arms dealers, and they can manufacture anything. Professional aircraft manufacturers like Bristow Company have placed their chips on supersonic airliners.

Pamela Mountbatten ~lightnovelpub.net~ who has made a fortune in Australia has come back this time and brought her talent to Belfast.

Prepare to have a good talk with the aircraft manufacturing departments of these companies, and integrate a full-time aircraft manufacturer to improve the competitiveness of British aircraft manufacturing and change the phenomenon of British aircraft manufacturers getting together.

In Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, Pamela Mountbatten invited representatives of major airlines to discuss the merger and reorganization of British Airways on the grounds that Boeing was aggressive.

Bristol Company, Short Brothers Company and De Havilland Company all have large-scale aircraft manufacturing experience, and are currently the most valued companies by Pamela Mountbatten, promoting the strategic transport aircraft project and strengthening the strength of the Comet Aircraft. The richest woman is very generous.

Ten days later, news that had a profound impact on the British aviation industry came from Belfast. Pamela Mountbatten merged three companies with experience in large-scale aircraft manufacturing into one with a price of 60 million pounds. The company's supersonic airliner project was terminated, and the team was merged into the Comet airliner team, and part of it joined the Belfast strategic transport aircraft team.

The Belfast Strategic Transport Aircraft Project, with the full support of Pamela Mountbatten.
