Chapter 1,154 Military Exercises and Invitation Letter
"You still doubt the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint?" Markins couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
"I don't doubt the craftsmanship. I just like the smell..." Alan Wilson put the gold medal in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile, "It's this smell of money, it's so fascinating."
"Land Rover has just gone public. That's 500 million pounds!" Markins shook his head, "Now you actually say that you like this smell? I really don't know what to say about you."
"Does that have anything to do with me? Pamela and I have separate finances!" Alan Wilson explained after a slight pause at this point, "This can clear some of my personal trappings on the Mountbatten family's wealth.
Suspicion."
Generally speaking, the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint is naturally impeccable, and the quality of this batch of medals is very high.
In fact, it’s not just the quality, the value is also very high. The athletes participating in the Commonwealth Games this time have definitely made a profit.
Except that the gold medal is not made of pure gold, but silver plated with gold, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the silver and bronze medals.
The gold medals in today's sports games are twenty times heavier than those in the Stockholm Olympics fifty years ago. If they were still made of pure gold as they were back then, it would be a huge loss to hold one Olympic Games.
The medals for this Commonwealth Games were sponsored by Pamela Mountbatten in silver. Although they are not gold, they are still full of sincerity.
Magins could also see that Alan Wilson valued the Commonwealth Games, "You seem to have completely different views on Malaya and India, and you have obviously served in both places."
"A great and impressive country, I don't need to care about it." Alan Wilson flicked the gold medal with his fingers and put it back intact. "This Games is best to increase the cohesion of the Commonwealth countries. I have already invited the independent
Those who have not yet become independent will participate together with the Protectorate. The events are the same as those of the Olympic Games, maybe a little more."
"Including socialist movement projects?" Makins frowned and asked, is it so big?
"Including!" Alan Wilson nodded. The so-called socialist sports refer to the sports that Americans believed the Soviet Union was very good at, such as weightlifting, gymnastics, and fencing.
A closer look shows that this is also an event that a certain big country will be good at decades later. The Soviet Union’s status in today’s weightlifting field is similar to that of a certain big country in later generations. In fact, a few decades later, the weightlifting project will be just as strong in Eastern Europe, and people will
After all, there are differences. Among heavyweight weightlifters, athletes from the Caucasus still have the upper hand in gold medals.
Because of their expertise in these sports, the United States collectively refers to these sports as socialist sports. Fortunately, it is not the Winter Olympics, otherwise figure skating and ice hockey would also be called so.
Especially for ice hockey, if a person does not live long and is an ice hockey enthusiast, he will probably continue to see the Soviet team win the championship in the next few decades.
"There's also boxing, shooting, cricket, and yes, there's also martial arts, badminton, and table tennis." Alan Wilson rattled off a lot. Looking at the events alone, the Commonwealth Games is more important than the Olympics.
The good one.
As for the promotion of martial arts, let alone the false promotion of martial arts, various southern boxing and north kick masters, the real promotion of martial arts, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the British Empire.
However, martial arts events are limited to routine performances, and there are no battles, otherwise it would be too similar to boxing events.
And to be honest, when it comes to martial arts, it’s just all kinds of boxing. During the Artillery Party period, there were martial arts confrontations between the North and the South, and when they were really fought, it was just all kinds of boxing. There was no sense of beauty at all. In the end, the southern boxers were defeated with a record of ten fights, one draw and nine losses.
This result fully proves why confrontation events have to be weighted and why kicking is more powerful than boxing.
Therefore, after careful consideration, to leave a way for future Hong Kong movies, the competition will not be held. It is good as a performance event. The Malayan representative team will score points and the enclosure will be fun.
The sailing event is reserved for athletes from the UK, as well as athletes from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Newfoundland. After all, given the current economic level, other places do not have the economic conditions to spend time in the sailing event.
After introducing a round of projects to Makins, Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask if he was interested in contributing to Newfoundland's revenue generation. Makins asked directly, "Are you manipulating the game?"
"That's not true. This Commonwealth Games aims to be transparent and clean!" Alan Wilson continued, "But some places are really good at certain sports. Jamaica was invited. I think the Jamaicans are very good at sprinting.
There is an advantage, the robe project, British Kenya also participated.”
"Although the explosive power of black people is good at boxing, they have not been systematically trained. They should not be able to compete with teams like Newfoundland now. If they are not well-nourished, they will not be able to realize their potential."
When Makins heard his friend mention the sports meeting, he couldn't stop talking. One look and he knew that he was absolutely serious, "The projects you left to Hong Kong, Malaya, and the Asian Commonwealth countries are small ball games and cricket?
"
"Yes, it is a grand gathering of unity, and everyone benefits." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter who ranks first, the most important thing is that everyone is happy."
"I am thoughtful about whether Pakistan and India will compete in cricket. I heard that cricket is very popular in the local area." The two chatted while walking, and soon walked out of the mint.
"If cricket is not canceled and replaced by football, I don't want to delay Britain's gold medal." Alan Wilson suddenly had an idea. If China and India decide the outcome with football? Who will have the advantage? What a difference.
Difficult question.
"But tell me, among the three local teams, which one is more promising?" Makins was completely aroused, and the discussion between the two became more and more heated.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know, theoretically it is the England team, but the contingency of football exists." Alan Wilson is not a senior fan, and the average British person
Out of place.
Markins was so surprised that he almost doubted whether his friend was British.
Alan Wilson has been sending invitations recently, treating the Commonwealth Games as a stage to showcase Malaya's development achievements. Especially the invitation sent to India is absolutely affectionate. It directly elevates India.
People who don't know better think that Britain is dealing with a superpower.
In terms of sponsorship, the Mountbatten Group is naturally the first to bear the brunt. Together with the four major family businesses in Hong Kong including the Swire Group and the Jardine Matheson Group, they ensure the maximum benefits.
The colonial government of Malaya temporarily liberalized the lottery industry, stimulating the most primitive desire for gambling. As for the representatives attending, Princess Margaret represented the royal family, and the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were all confirmed to attend, which can be said to be taken very seriously.
He even asked Norman Brooke to see if the supreme authority was interested in taking a rest and relaxing. Maybe he could also see the oriental carpentry skills and inspire the cabinet secretary's carpentry hobby.
The supreme authority now also discovered that Alan Wilson was very interested in this sports meeting, and couldn't help but joke, "If anything goes wrong in this sports meeting, you will be very sad."
"Probably not, dear Sir, Malaya implements the Qing Law." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said, "This law is relatively strict, so I formulated a bunch of management regulations to prevent local residents from coming into contact with it.
This kind of punishment. But when I am concentrating on doing one thing, if someone comes out to cause trouble, it is not impossible that the Qing Law cannot be stimulated."
"What about?" Norman Brooke unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water.
"For example, the Continuous Sitting Law!" Alan Wilson introduced this set of landmark laws since Shang Yang's reform.
"It's really scary." Norman Brook took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "The Supreme Court discussed the abolition of the death penalty before, but now we won't mention it. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Since Norman Brook asked this, he already had doubts in his heart. Of course, he didn't want to give any guidance, he just wanted to ask Alan Wilson what he thought.
"It's just out of a simple sense of justice. In principle, we can not implement it, but if it is repealed and the effect is not good, we will not be able to get the bill back. This is the same as extending maternity leave. If it does not have a positive effect, I think
It’s hard to get back to where you started.”
Although the legal circle is aloof, it is actually just a small closed circle. The law is superior and closed to ordinary citizens, so the abolitionists in many countries can achieve their goals.
But how can I put it, as long as you have access to this circle, it is not that difficult to stop it. The Supreme Court is not all judges, there are also civil servants, and they also rely on Whitehall to pay their salaries. What’s more, in the free world, there is nothing that money cannot solve
of.
Separating the three powers is useless to capital. Let alone three powers, dividing it into one hundred powers will still be useless.
India received the invitation letter from the Commonwealth at the same time that the British Royal Navy's Indo-Pacific military exercises were held on the east and west sides, in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
New Delhi was not notified of this Indo-Pacific military exercise and was somewhat shocked after learning the news.
This was even more true as subsequent news came. I heard that there was an amphibious landing exercise being carried out on Goa's land. This made many Congress members feel a vague threat.
At this time, a softly worded invitation full of respect was handed over to Nehru.
This is not about being polite before fighting. The British understand that India does not understand the concept of being polite before fighting. You must show your strength first and talk about business. Otherwise, the Indians will only think that you are afraid of them.
"The British side mainly wants to do two things, repeating the previous invitation, and using the Kuala Lumpur Games to hope that India and the Portuguese can talk. From this point of view, this time the Indo-Pacific military exercise is the British warning us and Portugal at the same time.
