British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 977: Awards storm

The problem of British West Africa is not a big problem. As the Nigerian Dominion has entered the independence process, only the Gold Coast is left in British West Africa, and British interests in Africa will be concentrated in British East Africa.

Alan Wilson doesn't look down on West Africa, and black Africa in a broad sense is just a generalization of race.

Because of the triangle slave trade, the entire west of Africa was severely damaged, and the social structure regressed all the way.

In comparison, although East Africa has not escaped the influence of triangular trade, it is already considered good compared with West Africa. The dwarf is taller, and the conditions in southeast Africa controlled by the United Kingdom are much better than those in French North Africa and Central Africa, whether it is natural conditions or social structure.

The Nigerian Dominion is not a big problem, because the oil in the Gulf of Guinea was discovered, and a lot of hot money poured in, which solved the original shortage of development funds. The development of the Nigerian Dominion helped the British economic crisis.

Now even if Nigeria's major construction fails, it will not have a major impact on the UK, because the world has passed the economic crisis and started a new round of growth.

Nigeria's nationalized enterprises are also being privatized. After privatization with equal interests, the new enterprises will be listed in London to enhance the financial strength of the United Kingdom.

After the independence of the colonies, the name of the High Commissioner remained unchanged, and at the same time directly assumed the duties of ambassadors and representatives of British-funded enterprises.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, as long as the colonies are not independent, as high commissioners, everyone's power has no upper limit."

"Deputy Secretary-General, where is our future?" The speaker was William, the High Commissioner of Northern Rhodesia. His words were somewhat worried about the future. The UK is implementing a policy of creeping back, but when will this be the end? .

Alan Wilson also knew that gentlemen did not want to end their life in the colonies for the benefit of society, go back to the native land to a clear water yamen, or have to leave their beloved jobs. This is very different from life now.

He doesn't like it either, a person with billions of dollars must work **** his own? Why?

"Maybe, it still depends on the outcome of the Algerian war. I believe that if France succeeds in suppressing Algeria's resistance, no matter which political party comes to power, the colony cannot be completely lost, otherwise we will not be able to suppress the French."

"I hope the French are going well." Whoever said that, the commissioners in the conference room all nodded solemnly. The world is so wonderful. Thousands of miles away from Algeria, there is a group of British people who are eagerly looking forward to the victory of their mortal enemy for seven hundred years from one victory to another.

Who said that Britain and France are in dire straits, which involves a better life in the future, and everyone can be French.

Patriotism is important, but if the country cannot bring benefits to individuals, it is easy to loose the ideological stamp of patriotism, not to mention that everyone is a high commissioner who benefits one side, and understands this truth better.

The rain gradually stopped, and the commissioners felt more comfortable. They could play some elegant sports such as golf, and show off their hole-in-one skills. The filmmakers whose return journey was not smooth due to Typhoon Xiangjiang also returned to the warm Malayan beach. .

Malaya and Xiangjiang have their own priorities. The development of entertainment industry in Malaya was secretly curbed by the colonial government because it wanted to leave the entertainment industry to Xiangjiang. In terms of division of labor, Malaya mainly provided a market.

When a group of British gentlemen were entertaining on the golf course, accompanied by exotic customs, Alan Wilson and Richard, the current chief executive of Malaya, asked how the effect of going to sea was.

Because the population of the Malayan colony is small, compared with Japan, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it cannot be compared in size. The advantage is that because the population has an upper limit, the Malayan colony can transfer industries earlier.

Of course, considering the natural weakness of compradors, sometimes it is necessary to use criminal investigation force to force them, so as to achieve their goals faster.

Facing the questions from his immediate boss, Richard also answered seriously, "The transfer of Myanmar's textile industry is almost complete, and the spare labor force has been invested in the oil refining center. The effect is very good."

"The essence is to exchange support for stability. After persisting for fifteen years, the wave of independence will pass. Within fifteen years, no matter what method is used, assassination or anything. The situation here must be stabilized." Allen Wilson said something that had no beginning or end.

This made Richard very surprised. He didn't know how the time of fifteen years was calculated.

But the immediate boss seemed to have forgotten to continue, and he stopped mentioning similar words after changing the subject.

The reason why Alan Wilson kept silent was very simple. He couldn't say that the Vietnam War was over at that time. The United States had to recuperate its internal injuries first, and there was no time to dig corners including but not limited to the United Kingdom.

And from the perspective of the general environment, by that time, the general colonies have been independent for a long time. Countries like India and Indonesia have been independent for almost 30 years, and others can see what kind of death they have developed. Later, Puerto Rico, like the United States, and Guyana, France, had no idea of ​​independence at all, and they wished to go further and directly merge into the mainland.

Are the residents of the Falkland Islands willing to be incorporated into Argentina? How many times has Argentina gone bankrupt? Let them be independent and they will not be independent. I am happier than anything else to be a rice bug with a British subsidy.

A swarm of bees can also be used in the international situation. In fact, from this point of view, Portugal can be regarded as falling before dawn. Just a short breath may have a different result. Even if it is impossible to keep all the colonies, it is still possible to keep some important enclaves.

But at that time Salazar died, and no one in Portugal could stick to the established policy.

Richard’s itinerary for the visiting group lasted for a month, and it also allowed thousands of African elites to take a good look at the benchmarks set by the United Kingdom. After relaxing, the colonial commissioners from all over the country also discussed with the African elites who had completed the visit. About, the second Malaya problem.

British Gold Coast High Commissioner Ingram said, of course, the second Malaya is the Gold Coast.

But in the mouth of the British High Commissioner for Sierra Leone, it must be Sierra Leone. We all have a bright future...

The ascetic permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a cup of wolfberries next to him, is holding a telegram from Karachi.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and two ladies, Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman, who had gone to Xiangjiang and returned, came in. They seemed quite surprised by the man's gesture, glanced at the telegram and smiled coquettishly. , "A telegram from the Pakistani ambassador? You are a busy man."

"There are no so-called ambassadors in the Commonwealth of Nations, the High Commissioner of Pakistan." Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and corrected.

"I don't know any national policies." Ingrid Bergman sat down and said, "We went to Hong Kong to present the awards."

"I've heard about it." Alan Wilson took out the headline of the Malayan entertainment newspaper and raised his hand, "Isn't it written on it? Asia Pacific Newcomer Award, Ms. Leti."

"Let Ms. Meng tell you." Heidi Lamarr snorted softly, "It's as if our awards are unfair."

"Huh?" Alan Wilson, who thought he would not be shocked by a full-scale nuclear war, looked astonished.

"The Xia Meng you are optimistic about should be given to another actor." Ingrid Bergman explained peacefully.

"Oh!" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "I'll talk to her about such a small matter."

Before Xia Meng was signed by Vivien Leigh, she was an actor of the Great Wall Company, and now the Great Wall Company is promoting Chen Sisi. I hope that Xia Meng, who has already entered the international market, can help out by remembering her old love.

"It turned out to be a human relationship." When Xia Meng also came here and explained the ins and outs of the matter, Alan Wilson commented in a flat manner, "It seems that some actors in Xiangjiang want to copy your route. .”

"It's a human relationship, but the two presidents both refused." Xia Meng whispered embarrassedly, "You may not have such a human relationship over there, I'm sorry."

"Who said no, people in the world are the same. Europe and the United States are called connections." Alan Wilson shook his head while holding his forehead, and directly pierced Xia Meng's wishful thinking filter, "I can understand that Xiangjiang filmmakers want to enter the international market heart, but it’s not enough now. It has to go through fighting and market testing~lightnovelpub.net~ It’s not enough to learn from you, how can I have so many film and television resources to support a bunch of people?”

At the current moment, Xiangjiang's film quality is still not enough, and relying on female stars to enter the international market is a bit simplistic. The film industry relies on male stars to support it.

"At present, Xiangjiang Films cannot rely on quality to win. Oh, by the way, I don't think it matters who is awarded this time." Alan Wilson said disapprovingly, "Just explain directly that this award is not that important. No. With that, L'Oreal and Louis Vuitton will follow to sign the contract."

Xia Meng took out the photos of Lettie and Chen Sisi, and asked Alan Wilson to judge, but naturally there was no result.

"But one thing I can be sure of is that I have never seen the two ladies in real life, but I can be sure that they are much more beautiful in person than in the photos." Guys, the most beautiful side is captured.

Some basic elements of photography and photography are still known. Photos are generally uglier than real people. Even in the 21st century, decades later, there are still many people who are not photogenic.

The early black-and-white cameras were really just a technology. It was purely overthinking to take pictures of people beautifully. The lenses and cameras that could stand up to the beginning of the century were all amazing.

Greta Garbo entered Hollywood and directly conquered everyone. She is one of the existences that can withstand the filter of death. The actresses who can handle black and white silent films are all magnificent.

Even Xia Meng's image under the lens of the 1950s is not as impactful as seeing a real person. Being handsome and beautiful is the first choice when shooting movies, and people with ordinary looks will become extremely disadvantaged under the camera.

A professional bureaucrat seriously analyzes the development trend of movies. The key is that people really believe it. It can be seen that love makes people blind.
