Find the latest chapter in "British Civil Servant Novel(!

The time has come to 1953. Several important historical events flashed in Alan Wilson's mind. Stalin died, the Korean War ended, and Crown Prince Elizabeth was crowned.

And thinking about the countermeasures for several things, with complete psychological preparation, he will choose to return to London.

"Life is round after round of exams, and sometimes I wonder, what are we pursuing?" At the top of Mountbatten Mining, Alan Wilson showed the side of thinking about life in front of his wife and sister-in-law.

"Darling, you always have a dream!" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her sleeping daughter and asked with a suitable volume.

"I am an official, and my current dream is to go further. If I am a businessman like you, I can answer you right away, what is my dream, I want to be a finalist." Alan Wilson smiled, "And the Soviets were right in some respects that our system does help businessmen fulfill their dreams."

Powerful people share dreams, and becoming a finalist is one of them. But more powerful people, their common pursuit is eternal life, in short, to live forever. It would be great if both dreams were achieved.

Why do the upper echelons of Britain and America hate the Soviet Union? Because they tend to countries and nations that are fictional, abstract, and non-existent, and that constitute these things are all isolated people.

This seems to be similar to some of the Soviet claims, the difference is that what the Draco people mean by freedom is that a person has the right to control his wealth as he pleases. And those who were influenced by the Soviet Union said that freedom was the freedom of all mankind.

The so-called liberalism is to allow the rich to live as they please, and it has nothing to do with all human beings.

In Alan Wilson’s time, the closest person to the end product was Bezos in the United States, whose Amazon was an e-commerce platform. Just like Jack Ma in a big country, after an e-commerce platform has a near-unique status, it is tantamount to monopolizing the buying and selling channels.

E-commerce platforms can put pressure on suppliers, and manufacturers must accept the cooperation requirements of sellers, otherwise they will never survive. As an e-commerce company as a sales platform, the requirements for manufacturers will become more and more stringent, and eventually they will become their controlling parties.

When overwhelming control over suppliers is formed, the next step is to take action against consumers, and e-commerce platforms in the middle make money far faster than other companies of the same level.

E-commerce can continue to penetrate into logistics, food and even all aspects. At that time, countries like the United States and the United States could not do anything to people like Bezos. The only thing Alan Wilson can't be sure of is which comes first, the end-of-life or immortality.

On the day of his daughter's full moon, Alan Wilson opened his heart and drank unconscious, because he was about to rush to London to address the issue of how reliable British Malaya was to meet this wave of industrial transfers.

Before the transfer of British Malaya's industry, he worked hard and pulled out a small share. But this time it will be different after the London smog incident. He believes that the UK will carefully consider the issue of industrial transfer.

And Britain also needs to transform, get rid of some Victorian traces, and become a truly modern society.

From the cables of Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke, he already knew that the Attlee Cabinet was determined to carry out a massive transformation of the London metropolitan area to remove the basis of the smog incident.

Alan Wilson also knows that this is another huge expense. The British Empire at this time desperately needs a cost-saving plan, and he has it!

Before returning to London, he first stopped in Kuala Lumpur for a day, and then brought a stack of statistics to convince Whitehall and the Cabinet of the trip, emphasizing that there is no problem with the large-scale transformation of London, as long as the work is handed over to the Malays Asia, it can greatly save costs.

By the time he arrived in London in January, the bad weather of the London smog had cleared up, but grey marks remained on some high-rise buildings, suggesting the smog had not happened.

To be honest, when Alan Wilson arrived in London, he could feel the air was vastly different from Asia. It's just that Londoners have long been accustomed to this air.

With the important task of dropping off, he hurried directly to Whitehall, regardless of the jet lag that spanned half the world. Find the most respected cabinet secretary of his life, Norman Brooke, and wait for him.

At this time, there are also preliminary findings about the London smog incident a month ago. The East London area, which was most affected by the smog incident, has nine times the normal number of deaths. And this is still the current number, the smoke has dissipated, and the impact on people will not end so quickly.

"We concealed the number of deaths from the smog incident from the public?" Alan Wilson asked in a heavy tone.

"In order to avoid causing panic among citizens, after a democratic decision, we finally chose not to publish it." Norman Brooke corrected Alan Wilson's mistake and said, "Prime Minister Attlee has decided to pass a bill to curb such incidents from continuing. You must also know, Lun, that the bill is easy to come out, and the relocation of factories and the renovation of houses all take time. This is the purpose of letting you come. I don’t know what good news you have prepared.”

"About British Malaya's steel production this year!" Alan Wilson took out the prepared statistics. In 1952, British Malaya's steel production was 10.4 million tons.

This figure is two-thirds of the British mainland. After rough processing, steel is provided for the construction of British Africa, Iran, and Australia itself. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is in great need.

British Malaya's cement production is 4.5 million tons, which is only one-third of the British mainland. Now it is also mainly supporting the construction of Western Australia, supporting the needs of France in South Vietnam and so on.

As for other rubber, sugar exports, plus exports to Iran in recent months. It's all in front of Norman Brook now.

"It can be said that it is stronger than the original British India." Norman Brooke replied with satisfaction after reading it, "It is hard to imagine that this is something a colony with a population of 10 million can do."

Norman Brooke expressed his admiration by comparing the present British Malaya with the former British India.

For the admiration of the civil servant chief, Alan Wilson did not explain the trade. He had been in British India for many years, and he knew a lot about that powerful country.

Take the industrial workers in the Kolkata Industrial Zone, British India, for example. The industrial workers in India are not the industrial workers that the British think they are, but more precisely, they are handicraftsmen.

It may seem surprising that there are ten million artisans in the industrial zone of Calcutta.

But there are 8.8 million handicraftsmen engaged in jute alone. Kolkata Industrial Zone is the most industrially powerful area in India, everywhere, let alone anywhere else.

Industrial workers in India are just under the name of a worker, and they are similar to odd-job workers. But even so, British India is one galaxy stronger than the Republic of China.

"If these figures are true, then the rebuilding of London can begin now." Norman Brooke is confident, because he was briefly in charge of the Ministry of Reconstruction before becoming cabinet secretary. A plan for the reconstruction of post-war Britain was drawn up.

Norman Brook can get a rough idea of ​​how much steel and cement is needed for London's redevelopment plans, and last year's numbers don't measure this year's productivity. With the addition of British Malaya, when it comes to relocating the London factory, there is no need to worry about the lack of production capacity caused by the relocation.

Norman Brooke took Aaron Wilson to see Attlee's Cabinet Secretary of State for Health, Annalin Bevin, who has been running for the national health center, this time after the London smog incident, Prime Minister Attlee Let Annalin Bevan be responsible for a series of things.

The two discussed plans with Annalin Bevan about the renovation of the London home, when a man Alan Wilson had met, Harold Wilson, later Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, walked in.

Now Harold Wilson is an important supporter of Annalin Bevin in the cabinet, and Annalin Bevin is also very optimistic about him. Harold Wilson is considered to be Bevin's future leader.

"Alan, it's been a long time!" Harold Wilson saw the civil servant who had a relationship with him, and immediately stepped forward to express his friendship.

"Dear Congressman Harold!" Alan Wilson also responded with a warm hug, "I really didn't expect to see you here, I have been working overseas, and I just came back this time."

The two had a good conversation, and Harold Wilson asked about the purpose of Alan Wilson's return to London this time~lightnovelpub.net~ About the plan for the renovation of London's residences, Harold Wilson said as soon as he heard it, this was the The biggest concern of Congress right now. The ruling and opposition parties have sparred over this issue several times.

The root cause is still the issue of fiscal spending. The Conservative Party believes that the Labour Party is increasing the budget without limit. This will cause enormous financial pressure.

"However, Harold, in terms of the current seats of the Labour Party, you can ignore the opinions of the opposition parties if you want to pass." When Alan Wilson said this, his expression was relaxed and even a little blunt.

Even Norman Brooke, who is known for his good personal relationships with politicians, changed his face when he heard this. Civil servants can't help the ruling party against the opposition party, even if he can't do it, he can't help but cough twice to remind Alan Wilson.

"I'm just joking." Alan Wilson responded with apologetic haha.
