British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 962: Elite Education

Because of this, when the leader of the Mountbatten Group arrived in the United States, it immediately caused a sensation in the small circle, and stakeholders who wanted to seek cooperation came in an endless stream.

At this time, Pamela Mountbatten was no longer the little girl who was knocked unconscious by a handful of gems in New Delhi.

Years of ups and downs in the business world have created a strong heart for the richest woman. Besides, even if it's a waste of money, her husband doesn't have many opponents in this broken ball.

At the same time as the Iron Queen's trip to the United States, Alan Wilson was still paying attention to trivial matters, such as discussing the security issues of the Sultanate of Zanzibar with the Egyptian ambassador to the UK.

In the eyes of Allen Wilson, Zanzibar has no value other than military value. An island so close to the African continent, far away from the mainstream world, has a difficult life due to less planting.

It lacks products, and if it has no military value, it will be in the future even if it has no military value. The meager income brought by the stagnant tourism industry and the meager aid from international organizations, and its humanitarian mission cannot conceal political motives.

There were no exploitable resources in the ground, and outside interest in it quickly faded. The island became a place where people longed to exile and disappear there, and sometimes also a place where people met.

Can there be another way out? But as a military base, everything is different again. The prerequisite for a military base to support Sannibal Island is that the population on the island cannot be too large.

Previously, the Sultanate of Zanzibar had taken the opportunity to expel blacks through the cleansing of slavery. Except for the blacks, the per capita resources of the remaining Arabs will be improved, and the population decline will also make it possible to feed part of the population of Zanzibar with the garrison of military bases.

"Mr. Abdullah, the UK has always regarded Egypt as a major Arab country. It also hopes that Egypt can work with the UK to maintain order in Africa. In fact, the Ministry of Defense also hopes to conduct an exercise with Egypt. Unfortunately, the aircraft carrier has not yet arrived in Egypt. The Egyptian Navy The operation may not be proficient, which is a pity."

The foreign minister paid a visit to King Farouk I in Cairo and set a general framework for cooperation. He had to fill in the details under the framework. How busy the foreign minister is, especially now that he has accepted the grand blueprint drawn up by the deputy secretary.

"His Majesty the King and all Egyptian citizens are looking forward to it. And they are ready to shoulder international responsibilities." The Egyptian ambassador to the UK responded enthusiastically, "The protection attitude towards Zanzibar has received unanimous support."

"Under the leadership of His Majesty Farouk I, the ancient civilization has once again burst into glory. This is so amazing." Alan Wilson sighed, while sneaking a glance at the watch on his wrist, thinking about when to deal with business over.

For the United Kingdom, it is a victory to sell one of the giant-class aircraft carriers, otherwise it will be dismantled. Egypt is willing to accept the momentum of a strong leader in the Arab world, which is very good.

In terms of details, Alan Wilson said that the naval base on Zanzibar Island can be shared with Egypt. The two countries have also had pleasant cooperation in this regard, such as the Anglo-Egyptian joint administration of Sudan.

Sometimes doing the same thing in another place will have different results. For example, Sudan and Zanzibar are both under the common oppression of Britain and Egypt. Sudan wants to resist, and Zanzibar just wants it.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar continued to seek protection from Egypt under the leadership of Farouk I, which is also something the Egyptians like to talk about.

"The navy is very important. Israel cannot afford a large navy. On the contrary, the Arab countries can."

Abdullah also nodded, acknowledging that what the British said made sense. The navy is the most expensive military service. With Israel's size, it cannot be compared with the Arab countries. Competition in the navy is the only way for large countries to conduct an arms race.

After talking about the beautiful vision of the UK-Egypt cooperation, Alan Wilson turned and said goodbye. His schedule was very full. For example, being invited to meet with Great Britain Treasure.

Outside a church-like building, Vivien Leigh looked at the inside of the church with tears in her eyes.

This church is actually a converted private school. The school is small, but the discipline is very strict. After sending her son here, Vivien Leigh could only see her child every other month.

"How can there be such a strict school, it's like a military camp. Only the Germans let children wear military uniforms to school." Vivien Leigh's face was full of sorrow, and she vented her dissatisfaction at Alan Wilson.

"The principal is a retired lieutenant colonel, but the quality of teaching is irrelevant. What's wrong with a boy wearing a military uniform? It's a good thing to cultivate a man's responsibility." Alan Wilson reached out and patted Vivien Leigh's back, "Vivien, you Don't spoil David too much, don't you want your child to go to public school? That's what hurt him, you know?"

Public education and private education in the UK are two worlds, and children must overcome this hurdle.

Alan Wilson can't do anything about this, as the tuition fee of 3,500 pounds a year is really free. From the day the tuition fee is paid, the child is no longer just a child of two people.

There are many small private schools that don't even have a sign, such as this old church-like school in front of you. The life inside is completely an enhanced version of Hengshui High School, but on a much smaller scale. A teacher can support up to 15 students. Many subjects of interest are one-on-one. You don’t have to have money to study in it. Students must interview in person to pass.

Many of these schools don't even have a signboard, and ordinary Londoners don't have such schools at all.

Alan Wilson has seen a documentary about British public schools in later generations. He educated a nearly adult student who couldn't even complete the teaching materials for a seven-year-old in a private school. How could he let his son be freed?

When it comes to the direction of his life for decades, even if Vivien Leigh is unhappy, there is nothing he can do.

It was rare for Vivien Leigh to see such a tough stance of this man, and it could even be said that he had never seen it at all. He obviously didn't care about anything, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he passed the huge amount of money, but this time he didn't care about her mood.

"Get in the car and take a rest." Alan Wilson, facing the sun, was a little dizzy, and slowed down to let the national treasure get on the car and wait.

It's not that he wants to do this to Vivien Leigh, although after returning to London, Alan Wilson felt the invisible bondage, and it was even more difficult to find Her Royal Highness the Princess to take a rocket, and it has only been two times so far.

But compared with the problem of children's education, this little problem is nothing.

After a while, a boy wearing a suit and tie left the school step by step, with an indifference that did not meet his age, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Alan Wilson, and then greeted with a smile, "Mr. Wilson, hello. "

"The change is really big." Alan Wilson looked at his son with satisfaction, and said happily, "Only in this way can you become a member of the British elite in the future, and your mother will be happy too."

"David!" Vivien Leigh had already opened the car door and ran out, with her hands on the boy's shoulders, she couldn't get enough of it.

"Mother, you have to live a good life. Otherwise, I will be distracted!" David began to persuade his mother not to quarrel with his father with excuses. Although he didn't see the scene just now, he could guess it from the subtle expressions.

"How old are you, and you don't even speak like a child now." Vivien Leigh was still angry, and looked at Alan Wilson, the culprit who used deception to send children to concentration camps.

"I feel very good. The meals and classes are very satisfying." David didn't cooperate at all. "The teachers are very responsible. I have broadened my horizons a lot. The seniors are also very friendly."

"Look, even children can figure it out. Know the meaning of responsibility and responsibility." Alan Wilson hurriedly said, the tuition fee of 3,500 pounds a year is still very worthwhile, as you can see from now on.

Today is the day to leave school. Alan Wilson took Vivien Leigh and her son to enjoy the holiday, and asked about some courses and their children's dreams.

"When I grow up? First, I have to serve in the army. The principal said that the army is a place to train people~lightnovelpub.net~ After that, I should choose some work in literature and art. It's not bad to be a filmmaker." When eating with my parents , David told his dream.

Once upon a time, Alan Wilson also dreamed of being a scientist, teacher, doctor, and other respected professions at different times, but he didn't expect that he could only call a button when he grew up...

But fortunately, the huge amount of government knowledge I have accumulated has come in handy in another country, so I said with great emotion, "Your mother is a filmmaker, and she has experience in this area to guide you. By the way, Weiwei Ann, what is the current direction of the film industry in the United States?"

"The United States is more inclined to epic movies recently. Many film and television companies have projects." Vivien Leigh finally regained her peace, no longer competing with men of the same status as her husband, and said everything she knew.

"Epic movies? Historical ones? The chances of failure in this type of film are too high, so don't follow suit." Alan Wilson thought of Cleopatra, who almost bankrupted Twentieth Century Fox.

He can't guarantee other types, but the probability of an epic movie turning over is much higher, so he is absolutely sure.

Completely serious historical movies usually don't do well at the box office, and TV shows don't do very well. This has to mention the Daming Dynasty 1566, which made Hunan fall into the embrace of idol dramas. The ratings are outrageously low.

Unserious historical dramas usually have to work hard in the next three ways, and the risk of changing the evaluation of historical figures is huge. The palace drama of the Qing Dynasty was the hardest-hit area for the adaptation. Fortunately, people can accept it. If it is changed to other dynasties to cuckold the emperor, the report letters can be full.

Therefore, the current wave of epic movies emerging in Hollywood is actually a thankless type. Once the backlash from public opinion cannot be suppressed, the film and television companies will be unable to afford it.
