The matter regarding Alan Wilson has been decided internally. As long as he completes the preparations and goes to take office, he will be officially appointed as the British Consul in Boston. This is a formal appointment!
So far, both Prime Minister Attlee, Edward Bridges and Norman Brooke believe that the independence of British Newfoundland is inevitable, so Alan Wilson's appointment as consul in Boston is just a transitional thing.
More important.
"Pamela, is your fiancé going to be the governor-general now?" The people surrounding Pamela Mountbatten exclaimed, mainly praising the strength of the Mountbatten family.
"It's so annoying. It must be very hard to go to such a remote place." The governor's wife, who was feeling happy, waved her hands, with a look of distress on her face, and complained to her girlfriends around her.
"That's the Governor-General too, you are the Governor-General's wife..." A group of noble ladies praised her without hesitation, making Pamela Mountbatten the focus at multiple levels and angles.
Alan Wilson, who has arrived in Bonn, is not aware that his fiancée's vanity has grown, but this is human nature and he would not say anything if he knew it.
"I want simple daily necessities for 10,000 people, such as bed frames and the like." Alan Wilson got off the plane from Bonn Airport and saw the dragoon sisters. Let's talk about small things first, and we can talk about the serious things later.
"I have contacted the Steele family about the chain saw. Last winter was extremely cold due to winter heating issues. Coal cannot solve all problems. Many people cut wood for heating. Chain saws are not very sensitive products.
Production has already resumed." Pokina watched as Alan Wilson entered the room step by step and said, "Andreas has already said that there is no problem with production capacity, but where can I get the bed frame?"
"Where were the military camps in Germany before the war? They weren't even big enough for concentration camps. I don't believe that the people in the concentration camps slept on the ground." Alan Wilson said without even thinking, "Germany doesn't need it now, so just give it to me."
"The people detained in the concentration camp almost slept on the ground. I was thinking of a solution in the pre-war military camp." Pokina sighed and said, "In such a far place, there is nothing besides cold. You can go too."
."
"That's not a problem, it's definitely warmer than Siberia." Alan Wilson joked, but he didn't see the slightest unnatural expression on the woman's face, so he thought he had discovered something.
A few hours later, after some explanation, Alan Wilson skillfully opened the chain saw and made two gestures, and said to Andreas Steele, the head of the Steele family, "Something is not right.
I’m so used to it, I want a tall chain saw, you can add an integrated handle in this position.”
At least in his memory, it seems that the people around him, whether working or private, are all old-fashioned high-handled chain saws originating from Liuzhou. The high-handled chain saws are all green and are the most commonly used chain saws in forestry production.
"There's no problem with the weight, just add a tall handle. There's no need to be picky about a single-person chain saw. If the cost can be kept down, I'd like 10,000." Alan Wilson said cheerfully, "An
Mr. Dreaas can give me an extra handful, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"Of course there is no problem. I will try my best to control costs and help Mr. Allen solve the difficulties." Andreas Steele said there is no problem.
"Just send it directly to Newfoundland after leaving the factory. There is no need to scrape together enough for shipment." Alan Wilson nodded, "It will be used directly when the time comes. I am personally very grateful for Mr. Andreas Steele's help."
Thank you. If there is any need, I will be willing to help within my ability. By the way, there is also a band saw. Please rest assured, I am definitely not trying to plunder anything. I will buy it at the normal price."
As the world's No. 1 chainsaw brand in later generations, Alan Wilson can't be considered a loss by helping the other party once. German manufacturing has a good reputation in the field of machinery, and it will be a matter of time for it to recover.
As for the band saw, the band saw machine was invented by the Englishman Newberry in 1808. Because the manufacturing and welding technology of the saw teeth was not up to standard at that time, it was not adopted. Fifty years later, France was the first to successfully produce a band saw for production use.
The woodworking band saw machine is widely promoted and used. Although the band saw machine appeared later than the circular saw machine and frame saw machine, it is the most widely used.
As for the biggest advantage of the band saw machine, Alan Wilson believes that it is powerful. The efficiency of the circular saw is far behind that of the band saw machine.
After the other party left, Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said to Bokina, "Has this company bought a stake?"
"No, you didn't say that either." Pokina whispered in surprise, "Isn't he just a chain saw seller?"
"Now you can find a way to talk. Don't buy or sell by force. Stay patient and you will have a chance sooner or later." Alan Wilson also gave a few more instructions, fearing that this woman would come forward and rely on the support of the British-occupied Trade Committee.
Taking advantage of others.
Due to the war, there were more women than men in Germany. Alan Wilson took action to solve the problem of dragoons. This is not too much. It is not him. Many British people have come to Germany and have established cross-border marriages.
Anyway, it was domestic women who were unfaithful first. These retired soldiers found women from Germany who were younger and more pursuing progress, so they naturally divorced without hesitation.
Of course, for the British people on the Trade Commission, the cost of marriage is still too high, and a mistress is obviously more cost-effective. Although there are many cases of German girls giving birth to children out of wedlock, who knows as long as they are kept tightly covered?
"Actually, I have absolutely no blasphemy against you." After having dinner with the dragoon sisters, and taking a bath together, and finally during a break, Alan Wilson began to express his reluctance to go to Newfoundland.
Isn’t this blasphemous? How can Anna be blasphemous when she secretly accuses Alan Wilson?
"Wood is also needed for post-war reconstruction. I estimate that the next few years will be the peak of construction in Europe, and the demand for wood is huge. If Germany can express goodwill to Newfoundland, I believe it will also be grateful to the residents of Newfoundland.
." Alan Wilson also did not forget to advertise the place where he was going to work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What's in it for me?" Pokina said pretending to be displeased, "I'm grateful that it's a British colony, not a German one."
"Whatever benefit you want, I can do it as long as I can do it." Alan Wilson swore, saying that for the well-being of the people of Newfoundland, he would do it at any cost.
"Really?" Pokina stretched out her onion-like finger and touched the man's lips, and said in a calm voice, "Actually, I don't have any special requirements. I just want to experience the eloquent tongue of an imperial civil servant."
"I want it too, I want it too." Anna on the other side heard it and said she must have her own share.
Alan Wilson got on a plane bound for Rome and had to go through constant transfers before reaching Malaya.
Looking at the sea below, his eyes were very calm. It seemed that he could smell the sea through the window. The governor had sacrificed too much for the well-being of the residents of Newfoundland.
As for the Indians in the subcontinent, this is a happy day. There is a rumor circulating that the Governor General of British India is going to distribute money. It doesn’t matter where the news comes from. Indians who can’t read a single word don’t care about the so-called whole people.
What are the consequences of distributing money? They only need to know the authenticity of the fact that they are about to distribute money. Anyone who blocks it is the enemy of the entire India.
After all, all this has nothing to do with Alan Wilson. India is a thing of the past for him. He now has to fight for the future of Newfoundland. He has no need to leave Newfoundland and become part of the United Kingdom. He can do it.
It would be best if he fails to do so and the head of Whitehall has already promised that it will not affect his future.
In fact, after learning about his appointment and the Boston consul, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that London really looked down upon Newfoundland. To be fair, this attitude was very infuriating.
Next to British Newfoundland is the French St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands. Compared with Newfoundland, which has more than 400,000 square kilometers, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands only has more than 200 square kilometers. It will not be able to do so in a few decades.
Self-sufficiency requires subsidies from the French government.
Because the soil and climate conditions are not suitable for agricultural production, there is only a small amount of vegetable cultivation, pig raising and egg poultry production. Even so, France is willing to pay the money and would rather support the residents of the island than put away this more than 200 square meters.
Kilometers of land became independent. Although France was defeated by the British during the colonial era, at least its attitude was fine.
Sometimes I think that if France had not lost the Seven Years' War, perhaps France's main body would have already moved to North America, and it would be engaged in the North American Cold War with the United States. It would certainly not be the result of the struggle of its ancestors who gave up like the United Kingdom.
Britain suffered heavy losses during the two world wars, but it was nothing compared to France. France was able to retain a lot of overseas territories, but Britain, which had a better foundation, lost nothing. Is it true that it has an island nation mentality?
Natural flaw?
Since Malaya was regarded as the colonial center of British India after independence, together with the Kra Isthmus obtained from Thailand and Burma, the local colonies were merged into Malaya, the Straits Settlements, the Federation of Malay, and the Malay States.
Together with Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia, they merged into British Malaya.
Alan Wilson's plane landed in Kuala Lumpur, and he got off the plane and went directly to the local colonial institution. There was no governor in British Malaya. After the war, the High Commissioner of British Malaya exercised power as a representative of the British Empire. The High Commissioner was Gerald
Edward, Alan Wilson was looking for this British representative who was not the Governor-General.
On the way to the Commissioner's Office, Alan Wilson also observed the living conditions in Kuala Lumpur, but time was tight and he was not the manager here, so he only took a brief look.
There was nothing polite about it. After meeting Gerald Edward and shaking hands to express friendship, Alan Wilson's first words were, "Commissioner Gerald, we have contacted each other many times by telegram. This time we came to Malaya.
