If the truth be told, Alan Wilson hates the weather in London, even though there is very little fog in London this season.
Although it has been raining non-stop since early morning, and anyone who recklessly stays outdoors for a minute or two will be soaked in water, it is nothing serious. Hundreds of migrant workers are hiding.
Under the black umbrella, drive towards the factory.
The pouring rain made it more like a military band adding to the excitement. To celebrate this occasion, the drums and trumpets sounded and a variety of exciting marches were played.
Maybe it was only a few minutes, or at most an hour. Alan Wilson spent the whole night plus the extra time today to initially adjust to the time difference. He now deeply understands that going to work thousands of miles away is not an easy task.
Apart from the weather, the scene was exactly what he had imagined. Although he had lived here long enough and knew it well, in his mind London would never be associated with bright sunshine.
Perhaps the reason why Britain was able to start the colonial era was also related to the fickle weather in the country. Originally, Alan Wilson thought that he could wait for the weather to improve, but this day was destined to be disappointing. The sun was setting behind thick black clouds, and the sky was very dark.
It quickly darkened. The pouring rain and the deepening night showed that God did not hear the cry of a mere son-in-law.
This rain had no impact on Pamela Mountbatten at all. As long as this man was by her side, she would not be affected by the continuous heavy rain. She was even thankful that God knew her long wait, so she had to give her some
return.
During this period of heavy rain, Alan Wilson's life can be described in a very stylish way. He can browse the world without leaving home. To put it bluntly, it means bedroom, bathroom, kitchen...
This makes Alan Wilson a little worried. He is not too worried about his current age group, but what if he reaches an age where he is unable to do what he wants?
"My dear, I'm not good at cooking, but I also think you seem a little tired." Pamela Mountbatten came out of the kitchen carrying sliced sausages to replenish her man's strength.
Alan Wilson smiled and thanked, "Don't say it, I really should add something. After all, my body is a matter of two people from now on, so I can't be too careless."
"It's good that you know!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled slightly, and her changes were visible to the naked eye, because when the man came back, her whole body became radiant.
Pamela Mountbatten wore an heirloom aristocratic dress as if it were a priceless piece of jewelry that must be admired, not only because it is beautiful in itself, but also because it has been treasured and passed down for generations.
"How does it feel to go to Japan?" Pamela Mountbatten asked as she cleared the table. "The prisoner of war issue has been dealt with."
"There's nothing to talk about in Japan. That's an issue that Americans should be concerned about." Alan Wilson gritted his teeth and said nonchalantly, "Japan will be Malaya's problem in the future, and we should think about what emerging industries there are in the country.
invest."
If there is anything that can connect Japan and the United Kingdom, it is that they are two island countries. There is no similarity at all. It is undeniable that because the United Kingdom is also an island country, it has long been the envy of Japan.
This kind of envy is not limited to a certain time. Even in the 21st century, Japan envies Britain. Isn’t there still a voice that wants to join the Five Eyes Alliance?
After clearing the table, the topic turned from politics to personal issues. The two men and women who were already together began to plan for the future. The first thing was to set a date. Alan Wilson had no objection to this. If Pamela Mon
If Barton wants to, he can get married tomorrow.
It’s just that he couldn’t say that. He also expressed some of his own thoughts. Pamela Mountbatten said that the wedding in London could not be too high-profile. It was nothing more than his father’s colleagues in the military and his mother’s friends in the business world. Because of his relationship with the royal family.
Connections and aristocrats are also invited. Considering Alan Wilson's work, colleagues in Whitehall cannot stay away.
Alan Wilson had a smile on his face. He was very pleased that Pamela Mountbatten wanted to invite the military, business community, aristocrats and Whitehall, but was not prepared to make any fuss. Apart from not knowing what the definition of "not too fussy" was.
Wherever I am, everything is fine.
In the end, he understood that it could actually be done, as long as the media didn't notice it. It wasn't impossible at all.
"Actually, it can be divided into two times. We can put the more lively ceremony in Sarawak, which is also your territory." Alan Wilson made a whimsical suggestion. He didn't know if this was in line with British tradition. Anyway, in his previous life
It is normal for long-distance couples to have a wedding in their respective hometowns.
"It's not impossible!" Pamela Mountbatten asked, "But our connections are all in the country, who will we invite?"
"It's a problem, so let's keep it in the mainland!" Alan Wilson looked out the window and said uncertainly, "I hope there will be good weather that day. I have always been very disappointed with the climate in the mainland."
As autumn enters in two months, London will enter a new round of smog, making the city truly worthy of its name as the Fog City.
The London smog incident was a landmark event that marked the UK's determination to divest itself of heavy industry. The event seems to be next year, so as the commissioner of British Malaya, he is already eagerly prepared to welcome a round of local industry relocation.
The current development of British Malaya was something he begged for, but after next year it will be completely different, and that will become the consensus of British political circles.
The weather in London becomes unpredictable after September, so Alan Wilson believes that it is best to settle the matter between the two of them before September. If Pamela Mountbatten thinks it is not enough, then the negligent person can be settled in Sarawak.
Local supplement: British Malaya is like summer all year round, so you can do it anytime you want.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and the two of them decided to focus on London. If it is not satisfactory, they will make up for it in Sarawak, a main case
, a filing.
The night was long and unable to fall asleep, so Ellen Wilson had to consider her choice.
Pamela Mountbatten herself had an arrogant temperament. It was dawn outside the window, the sky was clear and cloudless in the early morning, and there was no sign of the rain yesterday. She understood that the only feasible way for her was to do what she wanted to do most.
A pile of sheets exuded the smell of sweat, perfume and the aftertaste of clouds and rain from Wushan. Next to him, Pamela Mountbatten was sleeping soundly on her side, her hair spread out on the pillow. Sunlight streamed in through the window.
Alan Wilson wanted to wake up but didn't wake up. A little farewell was better than a wedding. In the end, they both fell asleep, exhausted and panting.
Now he can finally do something that benefits the country and the people. Personal issues are naturally very important, but there is nothing wrong with finally coming back and doing his best for the empire.
For example, first talk to General Mountbatten. Mountbatten also knew that this time Alan Wilson came back to discuss the marriage with his daughter. In his heart, he already regarded Alan Wilson as a family member.
While the two were chatting, Mountbatten also talked about one thing. The Royal Navy's "Triumph" aircraft carrier conducted the first angled deck flight experiment in history, and the results were very satisfactory. It should be noted that the angled deck was not built separately.
Moreover, a beveled landing zone was painted on the direct access deck, with almost no changes to the hull itself.
"If possible, it is better to build it separately." Alan Wilson said after hearing this.
"General Mitchell, Commander of the Naval Reserve, recently came up with something new, hoping to get financial appropriation from the Navy." General Mountbatten mentioned the recent action of a subordinate.
Alan Wilson didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing Mountbatten's explanation, he asked uncertainly, "In other words, it is a booster device that uses steam to catapult aircraft, a steam catapult."
"You can say that!" General Mountbatten nodded, "But as you know at the moment, we have no plans to build a new aircraft carrier."
"Dear Sea Lord, don't we have two Maltas that are about to end their construction cycle?" Alan Wilson said to his respected father-in-law, "If it can improve the combat effectiveness of the Royal Navy, they can be installed directly."
The initial inspiration for the steam catapult device came from connecting the steam turbine and the catapult of the aircraft carrier, and then slowly improved it later. Like other steam devices, it generates a large amount of high-pressure steam and stores the high-pressure steam.
In a large cylinder, the piston is opened when needed and allowed to drive the power unit. Of course, these require high-tech design and calculation.
Of course, steam catapults also have disadvantages. Steam catapults are not only very expensive to build, but also require sophisticated and complex installation techniques. Of course, for generally expensive things, subsequent maintenance is ridiculously expensive, and it also wastes labor.
Moreover, aircraft carriers are always at sea all year round, and steam catapults require a huge amount of fresh water to provide power, which is a big trouble to carry and store.
But Alan Wilson feels that the so-called saving money is a false proposition. Now there are two Malta-class aircraft carriers about to enter service, and such big ones have been built. How much cost can be increased by adding a steam catapult?
"What if, like tilting the deck, it could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Royal Navy, wouldn't that be a good thing?" Alan Wilson waggled his fingers to calculate.
"That makes sense!" Mountbatten was the Fourth Sea Lord, and he could indeed support this matter. He finally sighed, "Well, I hope this matter can be resolved well before I go to be the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet.
result."
Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. This Versailles language was very rounded and very consistent with Mountbatten's temperament.
