Chapter 793 Visiting Washington

"Please sit down!" Alan Wilson, who went upstairs, made a gesture of "please" and asked Su Yang to sit down. He took two glasses and poured them into the waterway, "Don't blame the poor care, you saw it too, Pamela. Ra is talking about things."

  Su Yang sat upright with his palm attached to the cup, waiting for the next sentence. The reason why he came to the door today was entirely entrusted to him about a conflict between a friend and the British military.

   "I will pay attention to the coca matter." Alan Wilson took a sip of water and assured him calmly, "When I know who it is, I will give him an explanation. It will definitely satisfy him."

   "Thank you, Lord Zhongtang, then." Su Yang let go of his worries after hearing this, "Actually, I shouldn't have troubled Lord Zhongtang, because an Englishman is involved, so it must be very troublesome for you to deal with."

"Trouble?" Alan Wilson's face was very bright, as if he was about to laugh but couldn't do it, "You think, out of the consideration of a country, I will stand on the side of the British when I encounter this kind of thing. , let alone an officer of the British army?"

  Su Yang nodded, his attitude was self-evident, that's what he thought, finding Alan Wilson was just an attitude to try, and he didn't think there would be any results.

"If Coca were a common man, I might have given a few words of comfort. It's not hard to choose between a colonial subject and an Englishman. But he's doing a good business, so It's different."

Alan Wilson laughed and said, "If there is any British person who doesn't respect Ali Khan, there is no need for Maharaja Ali Khan to find me, I will take the initiative to find him, a noble monarch like Ali Khan, not to mention the British There is conflict with him, even if he likes an English girl, I am willing to help him get it, what is difficult to understand."

This is a consideration from different angles. Standing on the side of the British is to consider that blood is thicker than water. Standing in front of the Chinese is to consider the overall situation. You can stand on either side, but the coca business is doing very well. Alan Wilson also The problem must be considered from the perspective of class.

  The environment of the colony is special after all, and it is necessary to rely on trustworthy groups to help Britain maintain the stability of the colony. For the benefit of the entire British Empire, some British people with little background should make sacrifices when they meet Chinese businessmen who are starting to expand.

   This is totally plausible, and if Alan Wilson finds out, he might even give Coca a chance to kill him if the British soldier who got the coca into the hospital has no background.

   Of course coca must leave evidence and put it on Alan Wilson, so as to prove his infinite loyalty to the British Empire.

Facing the gratitude expressed by Su Yang, Alan Wilson waved his hand indifferently and said, "I hope that one day, when faced with a similar choice, you and your successful businessman friends can do the same as me. Choice. The Soviets are right, everyone has a price, and someone's life is not mentioned all the time, we are not the kind of people who are not worth mentioning in terms of value, right?"

Alan Wilson suggested that the big compradors like Su Yang are the same kind of people as themselves, not the so-called Chinese group. Billionaires of different nationalities are more like the rich and poor of the same nationality. are the same. He didn't think he was wrong, even if he only served Su Yang a glass of water now, that would be the same.

   Then he sent Su Yang downstairs, and by the way, he saw the wife downstairs negotiating the terms with a bit of force. If it was someone else, it would be a big talk. Is it a wife? Do it right, as it should.

"I want to take a stake in the company of the four major families. They are willing to sell the shares at half price, but this is mutual, and the shares must be exchanged." Pamela Mountbatten crept up after talking, and saw her husband was reading the telegram. Gu Zi asked, "Dear, what do you think?"

"The four of them together have less than 200 million pounds of assets, right?" Alan Wilson replied with a single-minded focus. "The Mountbatten Group's assets exceeded 350 million pounds last year. Don't they feel disadvantaged? If not I feel that it is enough to exchange a small amount of shares. Several of them are family-owned enterprises, and a small amount of shares cannot change the decision. We will suffer from a large amount of stock exchange.”

   "I'll call someone from the accounting firm tomorrow to do some calculations." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, she would not suffer.

   Allen Wilson nodded and reported with a telegram, "Father may visit the United States in the near future to see if the United States can transfer nuclear submarine technology."

   "Do you think you can succeed?" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at the telegram, she still believed her husband's judgment.

   "How do I know?" Alan Wilson said without thinking, "But I think it depends on how far the domestic submarines are."

   He was in the British-occupied area, and he focused on searching for a group of German submarine talents. I don’t know which shipyard these people are serving now. He is not in the country, and it is not easy to inquire about these things.

   "Let's see what technology we can have in our hands. Steam catapults are not enough. If the blue light missile can make progress, it is also a good choice to use the blue light missile to talk to the Americans."

   Alan Wilson is also a little helpless. Some things are easy to talk about, but it is not the case when it comes to practice.

   That is money, and having money is only one of the basic conditions. There is no need to rush. If the forcible launch fails, the United Kingdom is not the Soviet Union, and it does not have such a strong resistance as the Soviet Union.

He decided to help his father-in-law to talk about the Indian issue. India will hold the Bandung Conference in three months. If Mountbatten is going to visit the United States before that, maybe he will talk about this matter. , Mountbatten was the last Anglo-Indian Governor-General, and he might be asked when he visited the United States.

"The one-sided remarks about all relying on nuclear weapons to solve problems are just absurd assumptions made by some cabinet ministers who didn't know their professions. Is it a threat? The role of nuclear weapons in the colonies is to curb the enemy’s large-scale attacks on the colonies. In the face of infiltrating forces, a strong garrison is needed to solve the problem. In view of this…”

Mountbatten looked at the telegram from Kuala Lumpur, thinking about when to leave for Washington. He wrote down the names of generals who had good personal friendships with the U.S. military during the World War to see if it would work. Of course, there were also He has contacts with his son-in-law, completed a trip to Japan, and was praised by the Republican Party for McCarthy.

   "Looking at Ellen's telegram again?" Edwina glanced at the content of the telegram in her husband's hand, with a teasing meaning, "A long time ago, I remember that you seemed to be setting obstacles for Pamela's marriage."

   "I don't deny this either. In fact, I finally agreed to the marriage of the two because it was impossible for Pamela to inherit my title. There was a husband who loved her to take care of her, and I finally agreed to the marriage of the two."

  Mountbatten did not hide it from his wife. If Alan Wilson had feelings for his eldest daughter Patricia, he would never compromise. He was not enlightened to that point.

   "Looking at it now, the relationship between the two is very stable." Edwina agreed very much, "It doesn't matter whether they are noble or not, there are always some people who can break through this limit."

   There is not only one example, the marriage of Edwina and Mountbatten is also a standard combination of interests. There is a role model first, the youngest daughter insists on marrying her son-in-law, but also inherits the family tradition.

   "I want to visit the United States, you go with me." Mountbatten touched his wife's face and made an invitation.

   "Okay!" Edwina nodded with a smile, she knew that this visit was not easy, and her husband needed someone to take care of him.

  Mountbatten was no stranger to America, as he had personally attended the Anglo-American Quebec Conference.

   When discussing Operation Overlord, Mountbatten used to speak in the name of an amphibious combat expert, but he actually represented the British government and was bargaining with the United States, but he only had a layer of military identity.

   At that time, Mountbatten also met the US President Roosevelt, and established a good personal relationship with Roosevelt's son.

In the    meeting, as a condition for the United States to dominate Operation Overlord, British General Alexander was appointed as the Supreme Commander of the Mediterranean Theater, and Mountbatten was appointed as the newly established Allied Forces Southeast Asia Theater Commander.

  Roosevelt happily agreed to Churchill's nomination for these two British generals, especially Mountbatten, Roosevelt was the most favorite among the senior British generals.

   Now that I think about it, it was already twelve years ago, and the then US President Roosevelt had passed away for a long time. Now Churchill has also retired from politics, and Eisenhower, who had maintained correspondence during the war, has become the President of the United States.

  Alan Wilson's telegram also stated that he should visit during President Eisenhower's term~lightnovelpub.net~ In his eyes, the Republican Party is always better to be in touch with. Someone also expressed a similar view, preferring the Republican Party.

  Eisenhower was still a soldier, and he was a type of soldier with Mountbatten, and always had some common language. It's easier to touch than the later Kennedy. If Kennedy was easy to touch, his skull wouldn't fly out in the end.

   Mountbatten had the support of his wife. With the approval of the cabinet, Mountbatten formed a British military delegation to officially start a visit to the United States. In fact, he had just assumed office for a week.

   Such an urgent visit would not have been possible without the support of Prime Minister Attlee. Attlee also hoped that Mountbatten could further the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. Washington did not have any opinion on the Korean War Britain's firm stand by.

  Before the visit, Mountbatten also specifically learned about the progress of the British nuclear submarine project, so that when communicating with the United States, they could understand each other. In this way, the Comet passenger plane loaded with the British military delegation crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed in Washington.

   Squinting for a while, I squinted my head too much, it was enough before twelve o'clock.
