"Don't be too happy yet, I still want to give the results to Ottawa and Washington." Alan Wilson said this for no reason, implying that there may be changes in this matter.
The public opinion is ready, Newfoundland is a geomantic treasure land, and both neighboring countries want to control it in their own hands.
The rebuttal is simpler. Compared to the British mainland, which is separated by the Atlantic Ocean, two close neighbors will only interfere in Newfoundland's internal affairs. From the perspective of maximizing interests, if you have to choose one country, of course it is the United Kingdom.
The result of the referendum is not without incident. The problem lies in the Labrador region. Newfoundland and Canada have always had disputes over the scope of Labrador. Of course, Canada's biggest concern, like the UK, is that New Zealand
The merger of Finland and the United States will turn the land dispute between Newfoundland and Canada into a territorial dispute between the United States and Canada, which is very detrimental to Canada.
There is no need to worry about these matters now. London naturally has a professional team to handle them. In fact, after becoming a royal territory, Newfoundland's situation will be similar to that of Greenland, a Danish territory.
In the telegram to Ottawa, the explanation to Harold Alexander, the Governor-General of Canada, was to use Greenland as a metaphor, and also informed the results of the referendum. The citizens of Newfoundland were still resistant to merging with Canada. In the end, they chose to transform into
The Crown territories remain autonomous.
Harold Alexander is the current Governor-General of Canada. Alan Wilson feels that communication is possible. This governor-general with a military background will definitely explain the situation in Newfoundland to Canada.
The reason for this judgment is that Alan Wilson knew that Harold Alexander had been made Count of Tunisia. In recognition of his contribution to the World War, he was already a member of the aristocratic group. He should understand the importance of Newfoundland.
As for the telegram sent to London, it was very business-like. Just follow the normal official document format. The two heads of civil servants both knew the affairs of Newfoundland well. Even if they didn't think Alan Wilson had anything to do at first,
Now I understand everything.
Having done all this, Alan Wilson was relieved that now for him, the Newfoundland affair was effectively over.
On the night when the referendum results were announced, Alan Wilson made an affectionate broadcast to express his love for this land. He clearly explained in the broadcast that after being converted into a crown territory, the Newfoundland Parliament would soon restart and George VI would be replaced.
With the approval of the world, the state of autonomy was restored.
Regarding the poaching faced by Newfoundland's fisheries, Alan Wilson proposed a solution, saying that Newfoundland's environment is similar to that of Iceland, and the two places should establish a positive interactive relationship.
Iceland is a territory of Denmark that became independent in 1944. Alan Wilson mentioned the role of Iceland because the main industry in Iceland is fishing, which is similar to Newfoundland.
In terms of natural resources, Iceland and Newfoundland are incomparable. It can be said that the fishing grounds are the greatest wealth in Iceland's hands.
During the broadcast, Alan Wilson also bluntly stated the similarities between Iceland and Newfoundland, as well as the fact that Iceland's basic conditions are worse than Newfoundland. Under these conditions, Iceland will definitely be better than Newfoundland in safeguarding the interests of fishing grounds.
Be more proactive.
This is indeed the case. For decades after the war, Iceland's economy relied on fishing, and it had several conflicts with neighboring countries because of this resource, including the famous "Cod War" with Britain.
Alan Wilson feels that if Newfoundland faces the future as a royal territory, it can also strive for a policy similar to Iceland, which would be good for Newfoundland.
Iceland is actually the origin of the two-hundred-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone claim. It is precisely because Iceland does not have any good resources that it has been very aggressive on the issue of fisheries.
Some people may not understand that the fishery resources around the two islands were still very rich at that time, so how could they be easily allowed to become independent? The main reason is that the concept of economic exclusive waters does not exist yet. The fishery resources around Iceland are not as good as the Newfoundland fisheries.
The fishery resources are common to all mankind. As long as you have the ability to drive the fishing boat over, you have the right to catch cod.
Spain, Portugal and other European countries have been fishing for cod in Newfoundland waters for hundreds of years.
Since its independence, Iceland has begun a series of hard operations to protect local fishery resources. First, it established a three-nautical-mile coastal no-fishing zone in the name of protesting "illegal harassment." Then in the 1950s, it established a four-nautical-mile no-fishing zone to protect black fisheries.
Cod and plaice.
Then in the late 1950s, the territorial waters were expanded to 12 nautical miles; in the 1970s, the territorial waters were upgraded to 50 nautical miles, and then the world-leading exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles was established. In order to protect its own fishery resources, Iceland and European countries
I don't know how many fights were fought, and they were all classified as "Cod Wars".
Iceland also fought a cod war with Britain, but now that Newfoundland has become a royal territory, naturally it cannot be considered so simply. Since Iceland has established a three-nautical-mile no-fishing zone, this matter is very simple. Iceland is three-nautical miles away from Newfoundland.
Just five nautical miles.
Because the results of the U.S. election are about to come out, and the Republican Party is currently in a state of ignition, Alan Wilson is already preparing to change the focus of his work and shift his main work from Newfoundland to the United States, so he must leave a legacy before leaving.
"I will discuss several issues regarding the protection of Newfoundland's fisheries with the Newfoundland Parliament, which is about to be restored. Now I have to wait for London's reply." Alan Wilson's tone was quite tough, leaving a message for Newfoundland citizens after the referendum.
deep impression.
Although many citizens speculated on how the Chief Executive would protect the interests of Newfoundland's fishing grounds.
But there are no pure secrets in this world. The talk about enacting legislation to expand the rights of Newfoundland's fishing grounds is still quietly spreading among the people in Newfoundland. The three-nautical-mile no-fishing zone that has been implemented in Iceland has also become a discussion among Newfoundland citizens.
The topic was discussed very heatedly. Since Iceland can do this, Newfoundland can certainly do the same.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The results of the Newfoundland referendum were also transmitted via radio to the Royal Salute, which was heading to South Africa.
Pamela Mountbatten proudly read out the telegram that had just arrived, "More than 50% of the citizens of Newfoundland are in favor of transforming it into self-government for the Crown Territory. The referendum has ended, and the current results are awaiting a reply from London. Elizabeth, Eileen
Lun got it done."
"Pamela, look how happy you are." Crown Prince Elizabeth smiled slightly and pointed out that Pamela Mountbatten's statement was not objective and neutral at all, "but I believe that many dukes and counts will be happy."
"Of course, the order and cornerstone of the British Empire are finally stable." Pamela Mountbatten said with a smile on her face. The prime minister was just Tu Yile, and her fiancé had to step in at the critical moment.
"Look at this!" Princess Margaret, the god of war with a crooked mouth, couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when she saw Pamela Mountbatten's proud expression of merit. Could it be that what that man said would be considered correct by her sister?
Princess Margaret remembered the scene she encountered that night again, and her face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.
"Actually, converting it into a royal territory would be a solution." Pamela Mountbatten didn't notice the situation of love brain, and then expressed her credit for her fiancé, "He is like this, he likes to deal with very difficult problems."
Then why not keep British India? Princess Margaret rolled her eyes, but she didn't dare to say it for fear of being lectured by her two sisters.
She also knew that since the last time she failed to expose the hypocrite, it had become more difficult to save Pamela Mountbatten. She could not fight an unprepared battle and needed to wait for the opportunity slowly.
Alan Wilson didn't know that there was still a princess at sea who was obsessed with me. He was currently reading the telegram from Boston. The results of the US election had come out. Contrary to the expectations of all mainstream media, Truman won.
Except for Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Dewey won in almost all the eastern industrial states, but Dewey's advantage was surprisingly small. In some states, such as New York and New Jersey, although Dewey won, it can be said that he was defeated.
A narrow victory courtesy of Wallace.
Shocking election results came from states west of the Appalachian Mountains. In the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, Democrats were ahead in the vote.
Even in Dewey's home state of Michigan, Dewey barely won. Preliminary results from eleven western states showed that Dewey only had a slight advantage in Oregon. By midnight, the results in agricultural areas were coming in, still favoring the Democrats.
.At this point, the election situation has become very clear.
With Truman's victory and the Democratic Party's victory in the congressional elections, they took back the Senate and the House of Representatives, and three new Democratic governors emerged. From any perspective, this was a great victory.
"The most famous photo in the United States is of Truman holding the newspaper showing Dewey's victory." Alan Wilson finished reading the telegram. The photo was very famous and he had seen it before.
"Okay, dear committee members, the draft on the five-nautical-mile no-fishing zone has been decided. When the Newfoundland Parliament officially resumes, everyone will vote at that time." Alan Wilson put down the telegram and addressed the committee members gathered here.
He said, "My term is not over yet, but the focus of my work may have to shift. After it is transformed into a royal territory, the power of Newfoundland will belong to the citizens. I will not be needed as the chief executive. I will shift the focus of my work by then."
."
Now the Republican Party is in a state of confusion. Alan Wilson wants to go and see it, but he won't be able to see it any later.
While the committee members were trying to persuade Alan Wilson to stay and talk about his contribution to Newfoundland, Boris entered the hall with a telegram, "Sir Allen, telegram from London."
"Bring it to me!" Alan Wilson received the telegram again, scanned it, and congratulated the Newfoundland commissioners, "Dear gentlemen, London has recognized the results of this referendum. Now, let's go
Let’s talk about Newfoundland’s parliamentary election, I believe everyone can’t wait.”
Haha! The Newfoundland Parliament building was instantly filled with laughter and laughter, which was completely different from the cursing nanghipi in a mansion in East Asia.
