Pamela, who is in love, has a striking feature: she currently has absolutely no doubts about any word of Alan Wilson, not even a punctuation mark.
This led to the fact that she, the daughter of an aristocrat, in this state of love, even if she did not understand it at all, perfectly presented the instructions in the telegram through the speaking skills of a civil servant.
As a civil servant, the first thing Alan Wilson needs to study is the human heart. He imagined several reactions of de Havilland and how to deal with them. At present, Alan Wilson may be immature when dealing with some veteran officials, but when dealing with a technical person
engineers, it’s still not a problem.
The meeting between Pamela Mountbatten and de Havilland was like being tutored remotely by Alan Wilson. They were indecisive when faced with problems, using civil servants' rhetorical skills and avoiding the most important and changing the subject.
The sketch of the Boeing airliner in Pamela's hand is different from the jet aircraft that de Havilland has started to design. In de Havilland's design, the turbine engine is installed in the wing close to the aircraft.
The position of the fuselage, this layout comes from the layout experience of piston engines, can keep the aerodynamic components of the wings, fuselage, and tail concise.
Although the reliability of early turbojet engines was greatly improved compared to piston engines, due to the metallurgical technology at the time, its reliability was not as high as that of later engines.
Debris generated by the failure of high-speed rotating parts of a turbojet engine can harm the structure of the aircraft, cause the aircraft to lose balance and cause vibrations, which are enough to cause a catastrophic accident.
The engines buried in the wings made maintenance difficult. It was later considered a failed design.
"In the application of new technologies, the most important thing is safety. Confidence is something that is invisible and intangible. But once an accident occurs, it will be too late to improve. In this era, the technologies of many powerful countries are comparable. How to ensure efficiency?
It is very important to pay equal attention to safety." The meaning behind Pamela Mountbatten's words is very clear, especially reliability...
Alan Wilson's telegram mentioned the problem of metal fatigue, which severely damaged the Comet airliner at a critical moment, causing Boeing to catch up from behind, which was another example of how we woke up early in the morning and had to catch a late flight in the UK.
For example, the Comet airliner originally used square portholes. Passenger aircraft using pressurized cabins took off and landed many times, and cracks caused by metal fatigue would appear at the corners of the square portholes.
Later, passenger aircraft portholes were round or designed with large rounded corners in order to reduce stress concentration and improve metal fatigue strength.
All of this made Pamela Mountbatten firmly remember it, and she spoke openly about it in de Havilland. But the most critical reason was that Pamela's identity played a big role.
Everyone knows the name of General Mountbatten. De Havilland himself was knighted for his meritorious service and is now part of the aristocratic circle, but his status is far different from that of General Mountbatten.
In addition to his identity, what de Havilland values is the authority that Mountbatten brings because of his identity. De Havilland is actually an arms company that is promoting the British rocket project by absorbing German rocket technology.
The biggest market for arms is undoubtedly the army. General Mountbatten is a great aristocrat and has become a general in the army. As Mountbatten's daughter, Pamela was of course looked at in a different light.
If someone else had come to his company and told de Havilland to bring money into the group, he would have been kicked out long ago. But the situation was different for General Mountbatten’s daughter. There are some rumors that General Mountbatten was the next subordinate.
A popular candidate to be the Governor-General of British India.
For reasons such as this, de Havilland did not reject Pamela Mountbatten's suggestion. He even heard that Pamela's sister was planning a wedding and expressed his willingness to attend the wedding. At the same time, he also wanted to meet some powerful people.
As a pure second generation of power, de Havilland can fool the opponent, but if this second generation of power shows his ability, then it will be another problem.
Soon Pamela told the micro-manager thousands of miles away the cause and effect of the incident via telegram.
The call back was also very fast. Her fiancé’s multi-dimensional and cross-field compliments made Pamela as sweet as honey. She wanted to wait until after her sister’s wedding to follow her father to take office.
In the Governor-General's Office of British India, Alan Wilson, who was flipping through the telegrams from various provinces, picked up the phone and asked Edel from the secretary's office to come in and said, "Edel, in the name of the Governor-General's Office, issued a drought warning for the entire India, with non-coercive suggestions.
The tone reminded all provinces and states, as well as the Congress Party and the Muslim League, to pay attention to the signs of drought this year. The tone should not be too strong, but the duty of the Governor-General should be fulfilled."
"Okay, I understand, assistant." Edel nodded and said, "Judging from the current signs of drought, what is the approximate scope?"
"Edel, the future is unpredictable. To be honest, even I don't know." Alan Wilson shrugged, "It might rain in two days. Who knows how Mother Earth has planned this year."
The Governor-General of British India officially issued a warning, indicating that this year's rainy season has been delayed by ten days, and there is a possibility of famine in the subcontinent. The Governor-General of British India has expressed concern about the current situation, and has contacted the Congress Party and the Muslim League, the Subcontinent
Representatives from all parties discussed countermeasures and remained vigilant about the current situation.
The rainy season is delayed for ten days, which may not seem like a big problem, but during the busy farming season, these ten days are fatal. Once the rainfall is short of a certain level, the disaster will multiply with each passing day.
What did a pond full of green algae look like the day before? The answer is that half of the water surface of the pond was covered with green algae, and after this day, the entire pond will be covered with green algae.
It's also like the change of temperature. A temperature of minus ten degrees seems to be very low, but in fact it is completely within the tolerance range of the human body. After minus twenty degrees, every one degree drop in the temperature can make a person change his mind about the world.
Full of new understandings.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alan Wilson officially issued a drought warning for the subcontinent from the Government House, delaying the rainy season for about ten days in previous years. This can be regarded as breaking a precedent and showing the and
It was a completely different attitude when the Bengal Famine happened a few years ago.
After the Governor-General of British India issued a drought warning announcement, the provincial chief executives immediately responded and issued drought warnings and drought relief work instructions in their respective provinces in the name of the provincial chief executive.
The sincere tone was limited to the announcement. As for the Muslim League and the Congress Party, it was discussed and there was absolutely no coercion, indicating the current inaction spirit of the Governor-General of British India.
In this way, if the drought relief fails, we can shirk the responsibility. It is not that the Governor-General's Office failed to provide early warning, but that the local snakes in the two subcontinents are really uncooperative, which has delayed the Government-General's disaster relief work.
As of now, water shortages have already occurred in some places. If the rainy season comes a month later, the subcontinent will be destined to have a difficult time this year.
Regarding the current biggest drought relief work of the Government House, with the permission of Sir Barron, the Government House is brightly lit at night, showing that the Government House is in a busy working state.
Time passed day by day, and on the fifth day since the first drought warning was issued, the Governor-General issued another announcement to combat the drought in the subcontinent. This time the wording was much harsher.
The wording was also more serious, almost as if the style had changed overnight. Some newspapers also began to remind residents of some cities in Bombay, Calcutta and Bangalore that drought might be unavoidable. In response to the occurrence of a great famine, the Governor-General might
Before taking some measures, I hope that the general public will not panic and believe in the serious attitude of the Governor's Office.
This announcement, which hoped that the general public should not panic, had an extremely obvious effect. The citizens who were not too panicked at first were completely panicked because of this official announcement, and they rushed to grain stores. For a time, grain stores in major cities
It became the most crowded place, and rumors began to spread that people were afraid of a recurrence of the Bengal Famine.
Who made the Governor-General always advocate inaction and ignore the famines in the past years? This time, his conscience suddenly discovered that the Indians, who had been non-violent and non-cooperative, began to panic.
It was able to remind the British people that this drought must not be underestimated. This rush to buy has caused food prices in major cities to rise to varying degrees.
But in fact, the current drought only affects a small part of the area and is far from serious.
As for the actions of the Governor-General's Office and the provinces, they are currently focusing on issuing early warning announcements and have not taken any substantive drought relief actions. Coincidentally, many chief executives have stored a large amount of grain in their hands.
"No surprise, judging from what we know so far, the impact on Punjab is minimal. It is hard to imagine that a place with little rainfall and a dry climate has an extremely stable climate and has become the breadbasket of the subcontinent." Alan Wilson held up Punjab
The provincial telegraph reported, "However, the main residents of Punjab are Peace Christians, followed by Sikhs, and there are not many Hindus. The Congress Party has no influence on the breadbasket of the subcontinent."
"In other words, if this drought affects a large area, it will be difficult for Hindus to deal with it." Sir Barron frowned and said helplessly, "What if it is really because of religious reasons that the number of deaths increased?"
"Oh, is that possible?" Alan Wilson said with an unbelievable smile, "Wouldn't this make several religions enmity? I believe that the leaders of all parties should take the overall situation into consideration."
"Maybe, maybe not." Sir Barron said nonchalantly, "What should be reminded, we have already reminded. When dealing with this drought, we did not hide anything, and even took the initiative to give guidance. Next, we will
