British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1190: People must rely on themselves

For Alan Wilson, this incident is just a small episode. He still pays more attention to the timing of my Great Britain’s ultimate sublimation. He remembers that the decisive battle at the top of the Himalayas was divided into two stages. The first stage was the most intense in the Cuban Missile Crisis. stage, mainly for the annihilation of Indian infiltration.

The second stage is the aftermath of the Cuban missile crisis. At this stage, the United States and the Soviet Union are discussing the withdrawal of missiles.

And the Indian Army is being beaten. The current news from New Delhi is still optimistic, so it can be concluded that the catastrophe that makes Indians panic has not yet come.

Alan Wilson was wandering around various departments like a headless fly. People who didn't know it thought that the deputy secretary-general of the cabinet was getting acquainted with his new job recently. In fact, he was not at all. He just wandered around to pass the waiting time.

"If there is no precedent, I almost think that you have made a mistake in your judgment." Marshal Mountbatten could see that his son-in-law was definitely not too happy to be promoted because he couldn't bear it, and it must be a matter of Asia.

"Marshal, you should make a plan, how to intervene at the right time." Alan Wilson did not lose confidence, and still stuck to his earlier judgment. "Maybe the timing is not accurate, but the result will not change."

"What? You are in front of me now, and you have devoted yourself to the role of cabinet secretary?" Marshal Mountbatten said very bluntly, "Maybe I should tell Pamela that you are cheating and sneak attacking my old father."

"Just kidding!" Alan Wilson bowed his head decisively, and emphasized with some dissatisfaction, "The marshal clearly knows that the relationship between me and Pamela is indestructible."

"Aren't I here to help you test the degree of indestructibility?" Marshal Mountbatten muttered.

Perth, the capital of Western Australia, has been the most dynamic and fastest-growing metropolis in Australia in the past ten years. Perth has developed at an astonishingly fast rate. Less than 300,000 people, soared to nearly a million.

Only Melbourne in the gold rush era had this population growth rate. In fact, Perth’s population growth accelerated, faster than Melbourne at that time. Melbourne was a gold mine that attracted population to settle. Perth was the capital of Western Australia. , is supported by the minerals of the entire Western Australia.

Australia's mineral income also needs to feed the three major cities in the east, and Western Australia only needs to feed one city, Perth.

Half of the nearly one million settlers in Perth have British-Australian dual citizenship. They are Australians and British. In Perth, the British flag and the Australian flag are hung side by side, which can be seen almost everywhere.

Over the city, you can clearly see the beautiful skyline of Perth near the sea, while in the east of the city, there are single-family residential areas, which are connected to the main urban area by a developed road network. The construction reflects the deep pockets of the Western Australian state government.

Xiangjiang's four major family businesses, Taikoo and Jardine, have also set up branch offices in Perth to connect Malaya and Xiangjiang's industrial cycle.

Ian Smith was almost immediately overwhelmed by the energy of Perth, which he felt was more prosperous than London.

This is natural. There are still many old towns in London. The previous renovations are just some tinkering. For such a large city in London, it is an astronomical figure to completely renovate. It's not like Perth is traveling light, and the state government is indeed very rich.

Unlike the current situation in Australia where the Conservative Party is in power, Western Australia is governed by the Labor Party. The current leader of the Australian Labor Party is Arthur Calwell. As the Minister of Immigration in the Conservative Party government, he adopts a pro-immigration policy and is a staunch supporter of the White Australia Policy.

With the help of the Minister of Immigration, British immigrants entered Western Australia in large numbers and turned it into a loyal supporter of the Labor Party. Then, with the support of British immigrants, the Labor Party relied on the abundant finances of Western Australia to establish a country that surpassed the East. welfare system.

When Ian Smith arrived in Perth, he could see Land Rover Discovery driving on the road everywhere. After entering the Australian market, the tough Land Rover Discovery quickly gained a foothold and won the favor of British immigrants.

Taking Western Australia alone, the standard of living is not worse than that of Americans, it may only be worse than that of Newfoundland, and it is far more than that of Southern Rhodesia.

In the Mountbatten Building, Pamela Mountbatten walked out of the office with her youngest son in her arms. He was in a very good mood in the past few days. He bought the bottom when the Cuban Missile Crisis was at its most dangerous. After a few days, the crisis was essentially over. So far In a few days, the profit exceeded 22%, and the profit exceeded 30 million US dollars.

When she was in a good mood, she had the leisure to meet Ian Smith who came to visit.

"Welcome, Minister Ian." Pamela Mountbatten put down her youngest son, and greeted her gently, "I don't know if you come from far away from Southern Rhodesia, what can I do for you?"

Gu Ying/span> "Ms. Pamela, I'm from London, and I've met your husband." Ian Smith introduced his purpose of coming, and said that he had already been to London once, and now he made a special trip to catch up with him. Come.

"It's more formal to call Mrs. Wilson when we meet for the first time." Pamela Mountbatten corrected the other party's address and then changed the topic, "Have you met my husband, how is he recently? Is occupied by the international situation, work is always worrying."

In just a few words, Pamela Mountbatten expressed her concern for her husband, sighed and continued to ask, "Minister Ian, please explain why you are here? Don't you want to follow the route of your wife?"

Ian Smith nodded, and Pamela Mountbatten's expression changed immediately, and she said pitifully, "You and most people actually misunderstood one thing, our family is what the men say, the reason why I am running a business , it's entirely my husband's disinterest in it, for no other reason."

"If you have a question that isn't answered by my husband, it probably won't be answered by me."

"You and Sir Allen have really similar speaking styles." Ian Smith opened his mouth and said a little discouraged.

"Thank you!" Pamela Mountbatten thanked instead, "The cabinet and the Whitehall have the same opinion on the issue of Southern Rhodesia. In terms of value, how can the 300,000 white immigrants be compared with the entire black African population? What about the perception? Don’t think that being white can change this. South Africa has the largest gold mine in the world, isn’t it being sanctioned now?”

The little girl who was stunned by a handful of diamonds has grown up. If Alan Wilson sees this scene, he will feel relieved. Don’t think that he is indispensable in the world. It has only been ten years since the Soviet Union was mobilized and attacked. . A certain big country has been blocked since its founding, which also proves that the world would be the same without you.

Even the United States cannot make enemies everywhere, let alone a colony with a population of 300,000 whites.

Knowing the intention of Ian Smith's visit, Pamela Mountbatten expressed helplessness, "In fact, the most realistic solution is to divide and conquer, but your population ratio is too small, so there is no way."

Ian Smith thought about it and suddenly said, "We have half of Malawi in our hands. The London side wants us to transfer it to Nyerere, but it hasn't done it yet."

"Fifty thousand square kilometers of land, not to mention completely useless, can only be said to try." Pamela Mountbatten felt that the other party was desperate, and it was not easy to extinguish the other party's hope. It might be less trouble."

As for what Ian Smith said, what food and fruit production, Pamela Mountbatten was not interested at all. These are all worthless things. "In times of famine, food is precious. In normal times, food is not so valuable."

Pamela Mountbatten has lived in India and is very clear about the power of food, but it is because she knows. Only then did he understand that food is precious in ordinary times, and the output of food must exceed the consumption of the population. There is no food for one hundred people, but only food for ninety people. Everyone can get through the difficulty on average.

Once such a demand gap occurs, food prices will skyrocket, and food that is not enough will be hoarded, causing greater famine to spread.

Pamela Mountbatten just said casually, indicating that Southern Rhodesia is indeed worthless, but the speaker had no intention of listening, and the silent Ian Smith suddenly had a terrible idea. I can't hold back even now.

In the early days of Southern Rhodesia, there was a bill to separate the land of whites and blacks, but because of the soaring number of blacks~lightnovelpub.net~, the lives of blacks plummeted, and the food of blacks has always been in short supply. Due to the population relationship, the land of blacks can only make a living for blacks. What if there is a famine?

If it is properly guided, will it cause a wave of fleeing and reduce the number of blacks in Southern Rhodesia?

Ian Smith left Mountbatten House with nothing but a lot to gain. Now he is going back to Southern Rhodesia to practice.

Relying on the mountain to fall, relying on everyone to run, people must rely on themselves, the problem of Southern Rhodesia, London cannot save it, and Cape Town has nothing to do, only self-help.

Ian Smith, who walked out of the Mountbatten Building, looked at the bustling Perth scene full of smoke and traffic, and made up his mind that he must try it no matter what.

"Leave it for a year and sell it next year. I feel that the good news that the United States has resisted the Soviet Union's blackmail should last for a year. Now we still have to keep an eye on silver. It is right to have a good relationship with the members of the Silver Party in the United States. .”

Pamela Mountbatten seemed to be indifferent, discussing business operations with her assistant.
