"The calculation of the entire Eastern District has been completed, and I have to say that this is a huge workload. If it hadn't been for the arrival of steel and cement ship by ship, it would be hard to imagine what a huge burden this would be."

Lord Mackins of Sheffield, who is talking with Alan Wilson's resident office in the East End redevelopment plan, "You don't work in Malaya, do you?"

"It's almost true!" Alan Wilson smiled and said to Markins, "Actually, as long as the framework is set, management is not difficult. We have to trust the abilities of other colleagues. There will be no problem. Once the redevelopment of the East End is complete, future Londoners will thank us, and this kind of work is very rewarding.”

Sooner or later Londoners will realize how lucky they are to live here, all roads lead to Rome, and some people were born in Rome. Even if you only consider property appreciation, London is a good choice. UK house prices cannot be said to never fall, but London house prices are certainly the last to fall.

As long as British citizens flock to London's living conditions, London's house prices will have a driving force, which is a very simple reason. Just like the housing prices in China, it is not impossible that the housing prices in Hegang are cheap, there are actually quite a few.

But people who subconsciously have raised their own standards to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will live there? Since not, then the housing prices of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will naturally run faster than their income.

"However, the data from Whitehall shows that the number of citizens in London is slowly declining, although it is not obvious." Makins asked in surprise, "Will housing prices continue to rise if the population declines?"

"Whitehall only counts London, not the entire population of the British Empire." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and emphasized, "Especially the upper classes of the colonies, although I know the citizens will definitely not accept it, but sooner or later, There will certainly be a group of colonial elites buying property in London."

Later generations of people who bought property in London were Arab, Indian, and Russian rich after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This is the main force driving up London house prices. Even the mayor of London is an Indian.

However, the Indian mayor of London is not the mayor of Greater London. In short, he is the mayor of Central London, which is about less than three square kilometers near Whitehall, and the management area is only one-fifth of Greater London. It doesn't look like it.

Of course, the mayor of London also has the privilege of organizing activities for the British industrial unions.

"It's more desperate than the law that everyone can register a party." Markins said with a displeased face, "If one day I can see immigrants from different colonies in London, I think I will go crazy. of."

"Oh, poor lord." Alan Wilson said with a very sympathetic expression. "Everyone can register for a political party. Shouldn't the restriction on you be more acceptable than your inability to enter the House of Commons?"

"You misunderstood. Although I am from a noble family, I am not a member of the House of Lords. Of course, I can go to the House of Commons." Markins raised his chest and said, "So it's still more annoying. Anyone can register. Partisanship."

"That can't be helped, we are a democratic country." Alan Wilson whistled, "After all, the mainland is not a colony, I can't issue a commissioner's warrant to implement it, maybe to a higher status, we can talk to the ministers, Come up with a stronger solution."

There is still time, and there is no need to worry about curbing immigration. According to history, the 1960s were the time period for colonial avalanches, and now the queen has not been crowned.

The large-scale reconstruction project in London is scheduled to officially start after the Queen's coronation. This officially refers to some places that are easy to be noticed. In fact, the areas in the East End that are out of sight have now started. The area along the Thames cannot be started temporarily, which must take into account the holding of the ship review ceremony.

In the hot summer, Alan Wilson was waiting at the London airport, and the temperament of a son-in-law involuntarily exuded. As the passenger plane slowly landed, Admiral Mountbatten, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British enemy, walked down with a step that he did not recognize.

The old Gao Fushuai saw his son-in-law who wanted to improve too much at a glance, and walked over with a smile, "Alan, you are so busy and you have to be distracted by the reconstruction of the East District. Actually, you don't need to come here."

"It's just one of many jobs, and it doesn't take much time." Alan Wilson said that he didn't care about the extra burden, "Pamela won't be back in a few days. I heard that the families of some Australian soldiers, The issue of compensation for Japan is going on, and the Australian Parliament will vote in the next few days."

"Japanese?" General Mountbatten's face turned cloudy and clear. Although he didn't say much, his true thoughts were already vividly expressed.

Regarding Mountbatten's views on the Japanese, we can talk about it later. Alan Wilson walked out of the airport and accompanied his father-in-law back to the Mountbatten couple's home, thinking about how to talk about arming Germany and Italy.

"Does the general know Ridgway?" Alan Wilson always addressed Mountbatten by military rank, and Mountbatten accepted it readily and asked directly when he got home.

"Don't talk like that at home in that classic Whitehall tone. You can say what you want to say." General Mountbatten sat down on the sofa and urged his son-in-law to get to the point.

"That's right, Ridgway is the current NATO commander. After the current comparison, we can easily find one thing. The confrontation between us in Europe and the Soviet Union is very difficult. The root cause is the population and territory of Britain and France. It is to occupy a disadvantage, not to mention that we have to maintain the order of the colonies, and we cannot put all our military power in Europe."

Mountbatten nodded as he listened, rolled his eyes and said, "So what do you want? Since the population is not enough to fight against the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union's allies, the populous countries in Western Europe include Germany and Italy, so you think, rearmament Germany and Italy, enough to restore the balance of power in Europe?"

"That's right, General. The problem is what the French think. Of course, NATO has the right to speak in the hands of the United Kingdom and the United States. In principle, we have decided to inform the French. It's just that on the issue of colonies, the United Kingdom and France have There are also common interests, and if we come forward, the French may be very unhappy."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson signaled to wait a moment, took out the opinion of General Ridgway in NATO that Efor gave to him, and said next to him, "General, my thoughts are like this, you can use your personal relationship, Invite Ridgway to attend the Queen's coronation, and take the opportunity to communicate about the rearmament of Germany and Italy. According to our investigation, Ridgway is a talented general, but he has poor interpersonal relationships and typical American arrogance. , not as obvious as MacArthur showed."

"MacArthur? In fact, Nimitz and Marshall are much easier to contact than him, and Eisenhower is also better." Mountbatten pondered for a while, "It's just that Ridgway and I have never been in contact. If you want to make an invitation, it may be in a personal name. First, get in touch with some generals in Washington, many of whom are members of the General Staff Council. Has the coronation ceremony been set?"

"The second of next month!" Alan Wilson quickly replied, "The Canadian aircraft carrier formation has arrived, the navies of Australia and South Africa have reached the French waters, and the Royal Pacific Fleet has also passed Gibraltar. There is no time to do so. "

"I'll see if I can get in touch with Ike!" General Mountbatten pondered for a while, but agreed in embarrassment.

This matter is actually very difficult, but Mountbatten is not willing to talk about the difficulty, and he is not willing to reject his son-in-law. The key is that he is not willing to say that this matter is too difficult for me to do.

Mountbatten readily accepted his son-in-law's suggestion and immediately began to devote himself to this round of busyness. Because the Queen's coronation will hold a ship review ceremony, he first expects the naval representatives of various countries, as well as the captains of the major fleets who have returned from overseas, to prepare for the ship review ceremony.

This kind of reception work really can't be done by others. Mountbatten has the same status as a father to Prince Philip. He is an important member of the royal family~lightnovelpub.net~ or an important general of the military. It is most suitable to do these things.

In his busy schedule, Mountbatten also got in touch with Washington, expressing his hope to invite the current NATO commander-in-chief, General Ridgway, to come to London at such an important moment to attend the Queen's coronation ceremony.

Eisenhower personally called back, willing to show the special relationship between Britain and the United States on this special occasion. As Eisenhower's subordinate Ridgway, he expressed his desire to visit London in a later call.

While the father-in-law was busy, Alan Wilson was not idle. First, he welcomed Vivien Leigh, who returned to London. Then his wife and sister-in-law came together, and they all returned to London to attend the Queen's coronation ceremony.

This is very busy for Alan Wilson. The key is that the sister-in-law is watching closely, which is very embarrassing.

Time passed little by little, and the whole of London was waiting for the important moment to come, and Britain was about to usher in a new queen.
