"I, I...of course I'm very honored!" Facing what may be the biggest opportunity in his life, Boris stammered, but said firmly, "I think Mr. Allen, what you need is someone who is flexible, calm, and...
There is a man of extraordinary energy.”
Although Boris had an eccentric and moody personality, he always wanted to return to the army, but at the same time he had been idle for so long that he began to think like a daydreamer. Although he never saved more than one hundred pounds, he
But he took it for granted that in the end he would be able to turn things around and make a fortune.
Alan Wilson took the wine glass and took a sip into his mouth. He smiled calmly and said, "You must be reliable..."
"Reliable, yes, reliable." Boris actually didn't understand what Alan Wilson meant, but he repeated it twice like a repeater.
"Let us calmly think about the specific advantages of Newfoundland!" Alan Wilson described it very calmly. "For most places in the world, Newfoundland's natural conditions are so outstanding. Naturally, I certainly hope that
Newfoundland's future can be in the hands of trustworthy people."
Alan Wilson also wanted to build an airport in Newfoundland. Of course, there were existing facilities that could be used. During the war, there were British and American military bases in Newfoundland. In his idea, Newfoundland should also become a free port, in line with
The position of a colony or dominion.
If Newfoundland were to be integrated into Canada in the end, the so-called plan would naturally be aborted.
The Comet passenger plane has begun preparations for test flights. After all, due to the insistence of London's famous second-generation Pamela Mountbatten, the Comet passenger plane is completely different from the original design.
De Havilland had to give in because of Pamela Mountbatten's insistence. On the surface, it was Pamela Mountbatten, but in fact, it was Alan Wilson who believed that although airplanes are the safest means of transportation in terms of data, they can give people
The psychological gap is also different from ordinary tools. If a plane falls down, it will be a big event known to the whole world.
How did the airship get eliminated? Isn't it because the Hindenburg turned into a big fireball in full view of everyone?
Without the Hindenburg airship accident, the airship would never have disappeared so quickly.
There is only one purpose for the advancement of jet airliners, which is to be low-cost and bring profits to airlines. As for safety, that is a by-product. The cost of crashing a plane is too high, so improving reliability and safety actually reduces the ultimate goal.
cost.
So the purpose of passenger planes is to allow more and more people to fly, and the fares will be cheaper, and the more airlines will make, of course, the aircraft manufacturers will also make a lot of money.
Decades later, the appearance of passenger aircraft has hardly changed. Only the most mature solutions will be used instead of the most high-tech solutions. It has been proven to be the safest, most reliable, lowest production cost, most convenient to maintain, least risky, and simple.
In other words, we should remain unchanged in response to all changes.
Any innovation such as multi-jet engines or delta wings must be rejected. Using the most mature safety solution is to be responsible for the aircraft manufacturer and also for the safety of the public.
Even the supersonic Concorde was crooked, let alone other changes.
If he were still in Newfoundland when the Comet was officially tested, Pamela Mountbatten had already said she would fight for the test flight route to be from London to Newfoundland.
Of course, Alan Wilson will not push it. Safety must come first in this kind of thing, and the most important thing is to avoid the same mistakes in the history of the Comet airliner.
Alan Wilson, who has already seen Boris's hypocrisy, certainly knows in his heart that the middle-aged man in front of him, who is trying his best to hide his embarrassment, should have nothing but loyalty to the British Empire.
But right? He needs this kind of person now. Although it is inevitable to use too much force as a local chief executive for the first time, for Alan Wilson, achieving results is more important than anything else. Who cares about whether it is too hard or not?
Boris should represent one-sixth to eight-eighth of the Newfoundland group, whose identity is British. In fact, it is not a particularly small number. This group of people does not care whether they are colonial or not.
The remaining two groups are those who restored the Dominion and those who joined Canada. In terms of numbers, they are almost equal. Otherwise, the result of Newfoundland's integration into Canada was very reluctant!
Alan Wilson doesn't care if he is using too much force now. Anyway, there are only one or two referendums. If the first time doesn't work, there will be a second time. There can't be endless referendums. Just survive this period of time!
After serving Boris a few drinks, Alan Wilson was about to settle the bill and leave, but Boris said he couldn't accept it. He took out all his belongings from his pocket and settled the bill this time with five pounds, maintaining the little dignity left.
.
"Thank you!" Alan Wilson thanked him seriously. In fact, Boris's current situation is very similar to the current situation in the UK. Trying to maintain dignity and cover up embarrassment, in a sense, is also Alan Wilson's situation.
Boris left, saying that he needed to prepare to be in a better mental state to work. After today, it was a new beginning for him. He returned to his home and passed the room on the first floor that was used as a storage room.
The skylight let in light, and the furniture inside was only a narrow bed frame, a chair and a washbasin stand with one of its legs broken.
I usually sleep naked on the bed, and my big belly swells into a small mound under the dirty sheets.
It’s hard to imagine that this is his life state, but everything should be over. Boris started to clean up the room and decided to say goodbye to his past self.
For Alan Wilson, the days waiting for the outbreak of war between Pakistan and India are not as easy as imagined, and there are always some unexpected things happening.
Vivien Leigh lay on the man's back and asked softly if she was troubled. Alan Wilson turned around and said, "Why don't you go back to the Governor's Mansion? It's easy for others to see it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can see what you are afraid of. I am a single woman, not a married woman." Vivien Leigh whispered, "They know it if they know it. It's not like they didn't go here anyway.
I’ve thought about it.”
Oh! Alan Wilson took a puff of his cigarette, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He said softly, "Actually, I'm afraid that I will be affected by the gossip. Isn't it very selfish to think so?"
"That's true." Vivien Leigh thought about it and said seriously in Alan Wilson's ear, "I am so much older than you, will you dislike me one day?"
"Don't say such things, I'm not that kind of person." Alan Wilson put out the cigarette butt and kissed the British baby's red lips. "Don't always think about age. The laws of nature are irresistible.
You are so beautiful, don’t use other methods, it’s best to be natural.”
Nowadays, plastic surgery technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. In the 1950s, most plastic surgeries in later generations were already available. Hedy Lamarr had it done when she was old, but after all, it cannot change the laws of nature.
.
Vivien Leigh may not think so now. Alan Wilson should give him a vaccination first to prevent similar thoughts from arising.
What made Alan Wilson miserable was that the next day he arrived in St. John's from the Humber River, and a man and a woman brought over by Savievich's men came to Alan Wilson.
The man is Su Yang, a Chinese worker who is very familiar to Alan Wilson, and the woman is a Newfoundland resident named Mary.
There are currently over 10,000 Chinese workers in Newfoundland, and they have not brought their families with them. Alan Wilson also knows that people are not machines after all. Just listen to the so-called Chinese people who have strong willpower. There are always people who are not so strong-willed, just like the one in front of you.
The two were caught on the spot.
"What should I say? Two lonely hearts meet together?" Alan Wilson looked at the two bow-heads and said politely, "Don't bow your heads now, at least it should be no secret in Corner Brook.
Otherwise, the local residents will not let Ustasha arrest you. Otherwise, I don’t want to ask more about whether the two of you are willing. If Su Yang forces you, I will hang him immediately. We can’t anger Newfoundland over this matter.
According to public opinion, although the punishment is a bit harsh, it is definitely worth it.”
After saying it in English, Alan Wilson said it to Su Yang again in Chinese, "I didn't expect that you can have such ability even if you don't understand English very well."
If coercion was involved, Alan Wilson had to put the overall situation first and could only act like an imperialist again. He made his meaning clear and he stopped talking and waited for a reply.
"He didn't force me!" Mary finally said in a low voice, "He often goes to the town to do shopping. We don't see many Chinese people, but we have a lot of contact. I think he is a very good person and very hardworking.
."
"Oh!" Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss Mary, what do you think? Maybe he will leave Newfoundland in the future. After all, from a psychological level, the local residents are unfriendly to foreign races.
If I said no, I would be lying. It will be very difficult for him to live in Newfoundland in the future, but letting you leave doesn't seem to be an easy decision."
"Can I go with him?" Mary knew in her heart that she might not be able to stay in Corner Brook any longer.
"Su Yang, you heard everything. Your life has been saved so far." Alan Wilson switched to Chinese, "I can pretend that I don't know about this, but Su Yang, you can't go to Corner Brook again. Accumulate more
Wife Ben, take Mary back with you when you leave. I would like to solemnly remind you that I have a good relationship with the High Commissioner of Malaya, Gerald Edward. If you feel that it doesn’t matter, the gallows is always waiting for you.”
He never thought that one day he would have to pretend to be the Great Master of Qingtian. Of course, he did not reveal this matter to anyone else. His bureaucratic instinct was to cover it up if he could.
