Chapter 853: No matter how poor you are, you cannot afford education
It is true that most arms sales projects cannot be paid in one go, and neither is this arms sale. Otherwise, Australia would not be able to secretly withdraw more than 90 million pounds under the current system.
However, the results of the three-year installment payment are enough to satisfy the cabinet. Many of the so-called urgent large projects submitted to the cabinet by the Ministry of Defense only require an allocation of 60 to 70 million pounds. Take the strategic bomber project that the Air Force is striving for.
The figure requested for funding is 83 million pounds. The price of one Comet airliner is only 275,000 pounds.
Thanks to Australia's help, the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier was on track. General Mountbatten had a hearty drink that night and was happy for the smooth implementation of the project.
Of course, it is impossible for an aircraft carrier not to consider carrier-based aircraft, but as long as the project progresses smoothly, if there is a platform, are there any worries that there will be no carrier-based aircraft?
General Mountbatten was in such a good mood that he even sent a telegram to share his joy with his new son-in-law. He knew that Alan Wilson played an indispensable role in the victory of the Admiralty.
Alan Wilson, who had received the telegram, had hidden his merits and fame. A few hours ago, he had welcomed the supreme Queen of Sarawak at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and arrived at the loyal colony of Malaya. Oh, and there was also the important royal family of the British Empire.
Member HRH Princess Margaret.
"The new aircraft carrier project is progressing smoothly because of Australia's relationship. However, the Royal Navy still has a big problem. There are too many warships in stock, and the cost of retaining them all is too high. The vast majority of aircraft carriers have almost no potential for reconstruction, and the post-war cabinet is always confused.
I am currently thinking about finding sellers for these warships destined to be scrapped."
Pamela Mountbatten smiled like a little fox. After listening, she said, "So? What do you think the scope of elimination is?"
"Including but not limited to all aircraft carriers below the Resentment-class aircraft carrier." Alan Wilson replied without thinking, "Don't expect the Malayan colony to share the burden. If the fleet size increases the burden, it will affect the Malayan colony itself.
I am not prepared to scrape my finances here and run away."
"I understand!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded. In the special period when Britain was poor and wet its pants after the war, she obtained the inheritance rights of the Brooke Dynasty in Sarawak through bribery. The money spent is a huge sum of money now, but
After all, I got the throne of a place, and after communication between the colonial government and Dutch Kalimantan, I actually purchased, adjusted and expanded the land.
Now, even if her husband wanted to go to the colony and leave, she would not agree to it. But Pamela Mountbatten knew that since her husband mentioned it, he must have an idea and asked straight to the point, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Frank and I talked about the Royal Navy's inventory, which hinders normal replacement." Alan Wilson was not polite to his wife who was sleeping with him. He listed several candidate countries and then said, "Frank judged that among the countries in need, the strength
The strongest one is France. The Renegade-class aircraft carrier should be sold to France. France is currently using troops against Algeria. The Mediterranean fleet cannot help the French blockade for a long time, so they still have to do it themselves."
"You want to facilitate this deal, let France make a purchase request, and then ask your father to help pass it through at the Admiralty." Pamela Mountbatten was no longer a young girl in New Delhi, and she immediately understood her husband's intentions.
Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said with a faint smile, "For the special friendship between Britain and France to maintain order..."
"Also for the oil interests in North Africa." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes flashed, and Shi Shiran said, "Okay, I will discuss it with my friends in France. After all, the Mediterranean Fleet is my father's old subordinate, passing through the Mediterranean Sea.
Isn’t it very reasonable for the fleet to propose increasing expenditures for blockade operations?”
"Algeria is a French colony after all. It's so reasonable and reasonable. How can I help in vain?" Alan Wilson fully agreed and continued following this line of thinking, "Let the French use their navy to block outside aid to the resistance forces. Oh, my God.
Now, it seems that the strength of the French Mediterranean fleet is not enough."
"Then after discovering this problem, it is natural for the French to express their intention to purchase."
"And the Admiralty thinks there is no problem. Even if it is not for the special friendship between Britain and France, it will not refuse for the sake of money."
"With the completion of the arms sales, the French Navy will usher in two Enemy-class ships that will exceed the current aircraft carriers to enhance its strength."
The two of them spoke to each other and outlined a very logical and self-consistent process. This is how the whole thing should evolve.
Of course France needs aircraft carriers, especially now. It is no secret that the first aircraft carrier has been built after the war. France currently needs aircraft carriers to safeguard its vast colonial interests.
"You have found me such a task again, making my wife so busy that she has no time to have children." Pamela Mountbatten directly sat on her husband's lap, one hand around the man's neck,
He smiled and asked, "What's your intention?"
"Oh, my queen, I didn't mean that." Alan Wilson lowered his head along his wife's arm, "Actually, as long as things have a good outcome, it doesn't matter when you arrive in loyal Paris."
However, before arriving in Paris, I first attended the collective meeting of the colonial reactionary forces.
Look at the list of people invited in Penang: colonists, feudal monarchs, big compradors, public opinion mouthpieces and all kinds of people.
These are all elements that should be hung as street lights. Of course, from Malaya’s perspective, everyone is a patriot who resists Indonesia’s unrealistic ambitions.
Starting from Alan Wilson’s second term, the propaganda about Malaya, the beacon of Asia, surrounded by poor people has been launched. It is useless in one or two days, and it will not have much effect in one or two years. As time goes by, it will be useless.
Effective.
In recent days, Alan Wilson chatted and laughed with all the distinguished guests who came to Penang. He talked about the Jakarta regime and Sukarno with disdain, saying that it was just a pattern.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Including the major sultans of Ali Khan, Alan Wilson repeated the security guarantee that Britain recognized the monarchical power of all sultans.
And they are willing to devote their energy to promoting the power of the Commonwealth to help Malaya develop. However, if some anti-British elements who cannot see the situation clearly want to let the British leave, they will be regarded as agents of Indonesian infiltration forces.
Pamela Mountbatten subsequently replaced her husband. Her position was more consistent with that of the feudal monarch and was suitable for pacification work.
Alan Wilson is in contact with various political forces, including the Malay UMNO, the Chinese MCA, and the Indian Congress. If there is no trouble, everything can be negotiated. The triangle has stability, and the Malay population does not dominate.
, being wary of each other, the imperial commissioners were relatively worry-free.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you just came back from Xiangjiang? Have you moved to the motherland?" Alan Wilson took the wine glass and greeted Lin Lianyu who came in with a smile. As the imperial commissioner, this is his duty.
.
"Master Zhongtang, I went to Xiangjiang, but not to the mainland." Lin Lianyu immediately said truthfully, "We only talked about some educational issues, nothing else."
"Of course, isn't that what Xiangjiang does? The Sino-Japanese trade agreement signed last year was also signed there. The total amount of the agreement is 30 million pounds." Alan Wilson took the initiative to pour a glass for Lin Lianyu and said with a smile that did not change.
"I don't know how the communication in education is going. The education here also needs Mr. Lin's help. After all, I am not Chinese. Although I am certain, don't try to fool me with small tricks."
"We exchanged some teaching materials, and I can submit these teaching materials to the government for inspection." Lin Lianyu immediately promised.
"Let me see it first, don't you mind?" Alan Wilson was very interested. He showed an uneducated but almost stupid courage. It is estimated that the part involving learning from the Soviet Union would definitely not be friendly.
It’s densely packed with formulas and letters, and it’s not at all humanistic like our free world, with enlarged font illustrations accounting for half of it.
You may not understand it, but you have a general understanding. By contrast, you can use the education industry to cut leeks and you will have an idea.
Alan Wilson is an Orientalist expert, and his character must stand up. Otherwise, how can he be the leader of the British civil service in the future?
In the next few days, he compared the contents and prices of British textbooks and Chinese textbooks to determine the appropriate price for setting book fees in the future. Also, from the perspective of quality education, Soviet-style textbooks are very unfriendly to children, and knowledge
Too much for the children to absorb, which should be avoided.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are people who are really hungry for knowledge, so they can go to private schools to study. The power of private schools is the political correctness of the free world, and there is nothing to say about this.
Lin Lianyu, who has been following Master Zhongtang for the past few days, will definitely not have this idea like the chief executive of Malaya.
"Oh!" Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask, holding the 1955 historical illustration, "Who drew this?"
"Mr. Gu Jiegang." Lin Lianyu asked, "What do you think, Master Zhongtang?"
"Nothing." Alan Wilson looked through the territorial illustrations of various dynasties and found it very interesting. Territory maps are generally a little smaller, especially in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. They are no longer small, they are all cut in half.
However, the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty was very large. It was somewhat like the enhanced version of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of the Japanese. Even Tubo was gone, the Chinese character Tang was erased, and some people believed that it was the territory of the Mongol Empire.
"It's not much different from our textbook. I'll keep it as a souvenir. Maybe I can give it to a friend as a gift in the future." Alan Wilson put away this commemorative book and asked Lin Lianyu if it was OK.
"Of course it's okay if Master Zhongtang likes it." Lin Lianyu said immediately. He didn't know if this could be used as a gift?
Of course you can. Alan Wilson knows Fortseva, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee. If you have the chance, give it to her.
It would be better to wait until the Yuan Dynasty swallowed Siberia and the Ming Dynasty arrived in Kamchatka. It would be more appropriate to send two copies for comparison.
