Australia is one of the major British colonies with the strongest atmosphere of war. During the First World War, Australia had a population of 3 million, and 400,000 soldiers began to enter the battlefield. During World War II, Australia formed an army of 950,000 with a population of more than 7 million. The current population of Australia is 8.2 million.

This also includes the 500,000 European immigrants who immigrated to Australia in the post-war years. Among the fifteen people in Australia, one is a new immigrant within five years, and most of them are British. Naturally, the visit of the Crown Prince and his wife is so popular. It's over.

It was getting late, and Princess Margaret was almost pushed out of the room by Pamela Mountbatten.

"Alan is tired from the plane and needs to rest. It's no wonder that you will rest." Princess Margaret was sulking, and the scene in Newfoundland began to circle in her mind again. She was so awake that she couldn't fall asleep.

Is the princess still so dirty? Alan Wilson was just with his fiancée, taking a shower and sleeping. And Pamela Mountbatten is obviously more proactive, so what can be done?

In Alan Wilson's view, Canberra's urban planning is actually much better than London's. After all, Canberra is a new city compared to London, and it is in a completely different era, which will naturally cause this effect.

The so-called infrastructure madman is not so much a talent, but a race against time. Because when the income level rises, the existing infrastructure will also take shape, and the maintenance cost of the existing infrastructure will also increase. It will be much more difficult to think about any essential improvement after that, and it is not uncommon for it to be surpassed by emerging countries in the future a hundred years later.

Canberra, which is now much stronger than London, will definitely be surpassed by Tokyo in another 30 years, and in terms of hardware, Tokyo in the 21st century is beginning to be inferior to Chinese cities. When another country starts to build infrastructure from scratch, the new city will surpass the original famous city.

The current attraction of Canberra, and indeed Australia as a whole, to European immigrants is absolutely real.

Strictly speaking, Alan Wilson's vacation has not yet expired, but the vacation location has changed from Europe to Australia, and by the way, a telegram has been sent to the British Malaya High Commissioner Gerald Edward to visit Canberra.

The latter also arrived immediately, and became the second passenger of Comet 1. After getting off the plane, he couldn't help but admire it. Obviously, he was very optimistic about Comet 1. "This is a perfect experience, and the journey is very comfortable."

Gerald Edward said it was a perfect flight experience, the whole journey was comfortable and smooth, the service was superb, and the meals on board were delicious.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Alan Wilson nodded modestly, then stabbed his fiancee, Pamela Mountbatten immediately introduced the situation of the Comet airliner.

Maybe the future air routes of Malaya will depend on the Malayan High Commissioner in front of her. Pamela Mountbatten, who was reminded by Alan Wilson, immediately tried to establish contacts. This is the missing part of her network, and for these bureaucratic classes, her network accumulation is still very insufficient.

As long as there are no major problems with the Comet airliner, Alan Wilson feels that except for the Americas without Canada, the rest of the world can compete with Boeing face-to-face! Well, except Japan.

The oligopoly of the civil aviation market in later generations is very obvious. Boeing is undoubtedly the first, with a share of more than 10% of the second-placed Airbus, and the two types of passenger aircraft occupy nearly 90% of the global share.

If the competition starts now, Comet will definitely have a first-mover advantage for a few years. The US market is still inaccessible as always, and even the American market is not enough, but in other places, it is the basic market who is bigger.

Dozens of colonial commissioners are widely distributed and can definitely solve a large part of the sales of the Comet airliner. As for the British-born countries such as Australia and Canada, although the national strength of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom, where the tiger's skin is still present, is not necessarily less influential than the United States.

Pamela Mountbatten, who was reminded by her fiancé, of course understood immediately that a lot of the company's performance was pinned on these colonial commissioners.

Alan Wilson invited the current Malayan emperor to come, naturally he wanted to talk about the problem of insufficient development of iron ore. In fact, this issue can be more extensive. For example, the island of New Guinea, which is still controlled by Australia and the Netherlands, has an area of ​​700,000 to 800,000 square kilometers. Not to mention 600,000 prisoners of war, even 6 million can eat it. Down.

But compared to the unobstructed view of northwestern Australia, if the Japanese prisoners of war ran to the island of New Guinea, if something really happened, no one would know.

"Japanese prisoners of war?" Gerald Edward looked surprised. "The United States will find a way to release us?"

"The situation is different, especially considering that the situation in the Far East has changed in favor of the Soviet Union. The United States may look at Japan differently. This is how Americans are. As long as they think about it, they don't care what others think." Alan Wilson shrugged. Said, "So it will be used by some prisoners of war in the Netherlands, Australia, and even Portugal. Maybe there is still some talk about this matter. It will take time for the United States to persuade one by one? For the benefit, the time will come out.”

It can be said that during this time period, no one understands the significance of Japan to the United States better than Alan Wilson. He has seen the development in the next few decades and has a deeper understanding of the significance of the United States' control of Japan.

Because the entire Western Pacific line of defense is built with Japan as the core, U.S. decision-makers have always regarded Japan as the cornerstone of Asia’s stability, and regard maintaining the U.S.-Japan alliance as an untouchable bottom line. Just imagine if the US-Japan alliance disintegrates, the US military withdraws from Japan, and China and Japan move towards unity again, the US military stationed in South Korea will be the turtle in the urn.

As a result, the Western Pacific defense line will collapse across the board, and it has long been dissatisfied with the United States. Europe, which has been trying to establish itself, will also take advantage of the situation and expel the US military. Realistically, Japan can be said to be the basis for securing American hegemony.

Japan is incapable of breaking free from the control of the United States, in addition to population and nominal GDP, whether it is corporate profits, labor efficiency, and some side data, such as pensions, productivity and other data. Japan is at the level of Spain in European countries, and it is no better than Italy.

The so-called second place in the world in the 1980s was entirely supported by a population of more than 100 million. Except for the Soviet Union, Europe did not have a country with such a population. Eight hours of work in European countries, Japan, including South Korea, need 12 hours to catch up.

In the so-called Organization of Seven Industrial Nations, Japan is the bottom one in real terms, but it is very dominant in total compared to other countries with a population of only 40 to 50 million. It swelled later, and was weakened by the Plaza Accord.

But while Alan Wilson believes that Japan is a three times the size of Spain, it can't make him feel better. The return of 600,000 working-age workers must be a great help.

Since the British colonies may be under pressure, dispersing these prisoners of war can also draw in the relationship with other colonial countries, especially with Australia.

"If we offered to send some of the Confederate prisoners of war to the island of New Guinea controlled by the Netherlands and Australia to build the place in the name of redemption, I don't think Australia and the Netherlands would refuse it. After all, the Japanese Confederate Army fought in World War II during World War II. , but the two countries are very dissatisfied, if Japan had not challenged the local colonial order, the suppression of the East Indies would not have left the Dutch at a loss."

From the colonizer's point of view, Alan Wilson's words have been quite clear. The prisoners of war of the Japanese Southern Army, it is best not to go back, and they can be digested directly.

"This is a big deal!" Gerald Edward hesitated. The six hundred thousand prisoners of war were not a small number.

"We can ask the Dutch to propose, and then let the Portuguese in Timor agree. If someone starts, the Australians will definitely agree." Alan Wilson said this and looked at his fiancée.

"As long as there is this rumor, I will talk to the Australian MP." Pamela Mountbatten received the signal that everything was on her, and at the same time added a fire to Gerald Edward, "New Guinea's It is said that there are traces of copper mines. I was about to send an exploration team, but the environment on the island is harsh. If there is a disciplined construction team to build, I believe it will be a good thing for everyone. If a copper mine is really found, then Mr. Gerrard, who helped this time, should undoubtedly get his own share of it."

Pamela Mountbatten has just discovered Australia's large iron ore, and now Australia is discussing it all over the country, and Gerald Edward certainly knows about it.

The current Pamela Mountbatten~lightnovelpub.net~ is simply the daughter of General Mountbatten, and already has her own place in the popularity, otherwise no one would want to poach the wall.

"Wow!" The smile on Gerard Edward's face flashed away, and he said with a sense of justice, "The destruction of the Japanese Southern Army in Southeast Asia is definitely not limited to Malaya, and it is also very normal to use work to atone for sins. ."

"Very normal." Alan Wilson agreed following the other party's words.

"We're giving the Netherlands and Australia and even Portugal some compensation, which is reasonable," Gerard Edwards hesitated. "It's all for peace."

"It is of great significance to peace." Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, and Pamela Mountbatten followed suit.

"Then wait for my good news, I'll talk to the Dutch first." Gerard Edward began to tell his thoughts, the room was full of whispers, and from time to time a knowing laughter came out.
