British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1201: high, really high

The current summit meeting of the Commonwealth is nothing more than the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Nigeria, which has just become independent, plus India. Nehru had arrived in London when Allen Wilson was writing at the Anglo-American summit.

Alan Wilson entered the Office of the Cabinet Secretary and presented Norman Brook with a plan for reorganizing Commonwealth institutions and increasing the cohesion of the Commonwealth.

This is the right time, especially when Nehru needs the support of Commonwealth countries, and it should not be wasted.

Set up a secretariat responsible for mutual communication between the Commonwealth, organize consultations and cooperation among member states, exchange information, organize meetings, etc.

The Secretary-General is re-elected every five years and may be re-elected. Of course all colleagues in Whitehall believed that no one was more suitable for the post of Secretary-General of the Commonwealth than Norman Brooke.

In the proposal, there are Commonwealth Foundation and other organizations: The Commonwealth Foundation will be reorganized into an international fund, and the funds will be provided by the governments of member countries to promote closer cooperation between professional and other non-governmental organizations within the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth Institute is mainly funded by the British government. It promotes people's understanding of the Commonwealth through activities such as exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, and open libraries...

In addition, there are some professional organizations, such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Commonwealth Press Union, the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council, the Commonwealth Sports Federation and the Commonwealth Arts Association.

"The bond of the Commonwealth is our honorable Majesty the Queen, and it has nothing to do with who this government is." Alan Wilson said eloquently. He thinks so. Excluding the influence of annoying politicians is beneficial to the United Kingdom. good thing.

Norman Brook was very satisfied with his successor's intentions and expressed his appreciation, "Alan, you will definitely be a successful cabinet secretary."

"How dare I compare with the supreme authority, I just do my best." Allen Wilson looked humble.

The main topic of discussion at this meeting of the Commonwealth of Prime Ministers is, of course, that India has been beaten. Everyone knows that the foundation for the emergence of the British Empire is India. Except for the white dominions, India's status is higher than that of other colonies.

Of course, India's status has been replaced now, and Malaya has become the original India, and it has far surpassed it.

At this very moment, Malaya is producing seven times more steel than India in 1962. It also exceeded the British mainland by 10 million tons.

In fact, no one understands better than the United Kingdom what effect steel production has on a country's strength.

Everyone knows that the world before World War I was the era of British rule, and Germany and the Americans were the challengers. In terms of industrial indicators, the two countries have surpassed the United Kingdom successively, but the United Kingdom actually does not care about Germany's surpassing.

Because Britain has a vast colony as the backing, it may not be easy to fight Germany, but it will never lose.

But in 1901, British public opinion discussed for a long time one thing, that is, Morgan acquired Carnegie Steel Company and formed U.S. Steel Corporation. Whether it was Morgan’s acquisition funds or the subsequent production capacity of U.S. Steel Corporation, it made Everyone in the UK was shocked.

This is the first time that the United Kingdom has realized that the United States does not have the potential to surpass the United Kingdom, but has already paid for it.

The development of American steel must benefit from the iron ore in the Great Lakes region, which is much higher than the iron ore in the UK.

Just as the iron ore in Australia now far exceeds that in the United States, high-quality iron ore will save additional costs, and the Kuching Iron and Steel Base is built on this basis.

The annual production capacity of 35 million tons is not a complete market economy, and part of it relies on the imperial preferential system, because the high-quality special ore provided by Australia, the Kuching Iron and Steel Base will allocate a certain share in response to Australia's demand , to supply Australia's needs.

The booming development of Perth is due to the Kuching Steel Base, which transports 5 million tons of steel to Australia and New Zealand as a support for the construction of the two countries. The report is that Australia and New Zealand must work together with the United Kingdom to ensure the security of Malaya.

"Doing your best may be modest. Didn't you just firmly defend the interests of the United Kingdom in front of Dulles?" Norman Brooke smiled slightly, "Of course I also agree. This aspect is useful. But what you said is too alarmist, and the situation in Europe is not so dangerous."

"Yes, Sir Norman." Alan Wilson also believes that NATO is not at a disadvantage when facing Warsaw Pact. Of course, the premise is not to fight, it's okay to say that if it's just a confrontation.

As for decades later, it is completely an advantageous game. The real disadvantage lies in East Asia. Does the United States have players as strong as Britain, France, Germany and Italy in East Asia? Not at all, Washington will not think that Japan and South Korea are enough, right?

These two players are equivalent to NATO's confrontation line on the French border. The only allies the United States relies on are Britain and France. What is there to fight against? Europe is almost lost.

The gold content of the countries attending this Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting is also quite high. Apart from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. Needless to say, India is a big country with a strong reputation.

Regarding India's defeat this time, at the opening of the prime minister's meeting, most public opinion expressed sympathy. Of course, in a society with free speech, gloating voices are not uncommon. Nehru can be dissatisfied, but who will let you eat.

Prime Minister Eden also expressed full courtesy to Nehru, but in Alan Wilson's view, the reason is that India will use 45% of next year's fiscal expenditure as military expenditure, such a piece of news.

Based on the calculation that fiscal expenditure accounted for one-fifth of the total economic output during the Cold War, India will have military expenditure of more than one billion pounds next year. This is already an estimate as low as possible. If it is more optimistic, it may be two billion pounds total amount.

A big cake was placed in front of the United Kingdom at this time. For the British military industrial enterprises that had only been affluent for a few years, it was simply a pie in the sky. Of course, Aiden was extremely caring.

The courteous reception Nehru received was as it should be. At the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting, Nehru said that India had been deceived, and maintained India's dignity with tears.

The other prime ministers naturally expressed their understanding and were willing to provide all moral support, except for helping.

Now that India is no longer a colony, India's security will naturally be responsible for itself. It is possible to do business, but it must be clearly marked and priced according to the market economy.

Alan Wilson, who was squatting in front of the TV and watching the news, had a serious look on his face. He received the news on the TV, which was not suitable for the position of the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he couldn't help it at this time. After receiving the Indian military delegation yesterday, nothing happened to him.

Even the Indian military representatives were mainly received by Marshal Mountbatten. He just listened to his father-in-law bragging. , "High, really high..."

This kind of drama between the prince and the translator is very boring. Mountbatten, who is similar to the style of the five-star emperor, is different from Emperor Mai in that Emperor Mai has overturned his car, and Mountbatten has not yet.

Anyway, Alan Wilson didn't know how the mountain warfare was linked to the Anglo-Indian Legion's strategy of counterattacking Burma, but Mountbatten said that previous battles can learn from experience, and the Indians kept nodding, so maybe they really have experience. draw.

"Honey, it's time to eat." Vivien Leigh called to her man at the door.

On the table were four large plates of sirloin, six large plates of chicken stew and veal stew, three legs of lamb, one of which was a handsome suckling pig, surrounded by sausages and sorrel.

At the four corners are glass bottles with long necks and big bellies, filled with soju. The sweet cider in the flask was foaming thickly around the cork; each glass was first filled with wine, and there were several large plates of yellow cheese, with a smooth layer on top, written Vivien Leigh's The name, as long as the table is moved slightly, the cheese will sway.

A large cake in the middle of the table, piled in the middle to form a castle, surrounded by exquisite fortresses made of almonds, raisins, and orange pieces; finally, the upper layer is a green field of fake grass, with fake stones, lakes made of jam, and hazelnuts. There is a boat made of shells, and a little Cupid can be seen playing on a swing. The swing frame is made of chocolate. There are two real rosebuds on the top of the two pillars, which are the **** on the top of the cake.

"Happy birthday, Vivienne." Alan Wilson offered a toast, and then nodded to another man present, "Eat more, your mother has prepared so many delicacies."

"I will!" David looked at a man and a woman toasting each other~lightnovelpub.net~ and wondered if he was a bit redundant.

How could it be redundant, but in fact it is really not that important. As the honorary chairman of the British Indian Film Actors Association, Vivien Leigh was just promoted to the chairman of the Commonwealth Arts Association yesterday, and she is in a good mood.

Great Britain Treasure has always been in high spirits, and at night let Alan Wilson go to the familiar land with rich water and grass.

"David is already this big." Lying on Alan Wilson's body, with her hair falling on her chest, Vivien Leigh couldn't help but sigh, "I'm raising donations to India, and I hope I can help a little."

"You can do whatever you want. It's just a non-governmental exchange." Alan Wilson didn't stop him. Indians are relatively easy to get along with from an individual perspective. Let’s talk about it at the national level. The head of the five permanent members of YouTube is too protective of India. Generally, it will not attack individuals, and its viciousness is far lower than that of Japan and South Korea.

Alan Wilson even believes that in the past few years, Indians really shouted, "China and India are as close as brothers!"

If Vivien Leigh wants to help in the non-government field, it is easy to gain the favor of Indians.
