British civil servant

Germany's population loss was far greater than Japan's population loss in World War II.If you want to add a little more to this population loss, it depends on whether the Japanese prisoners of war in Malaya can hold on.After all, the Japanese Southern Army prisoners of war in Malaya were very easy to use and solved the great difficulties of the local colonial government.

Alan Wilson expressed goodwill to the motherland of the dragoons. Although once the German economy recovers, the imitation of British products will lead to an increase in British hostility towards Germany, but this is inevitable.

Apart from comparing intellectual property rights, the UK has no better way to deal with it.Germany's initial industrial products for foreign trade in the European continent were still imitated from British and French products. Through technological upgrading and cost control, the prices of products were lowered to compete with the mainland market.This kind of counterfeiting has become a latecomer advantage in Gerschenkron's definition.

The latecomer advantage nominally is to use existing technology to promote technological progress, but in essence it is to counterfeit and plagiarize existing scientific and technological achievements, and then form an industrial group to digest and innovate into its own brand.

Who makes the old imperialist countries roughly at the same level? Britain can't expect Germany to kneel on the ground forever and never get up. It depends on whether Malaya can catch the industries transferred by Britain at that time.If you can catch it, you can hold down Germany.

Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman, arrived in Bonn for an investigation, coincidentally Alan Wilson was also here.After several months of sailing, the crown prince and his wife arrived in Australia.

The king of Australia is George VI, so if nothing else, Crown Prince Elizabeth is the future queen of Australia. The arrival of the crown prince in Australia has made the Australian people very excited.

Australia's affection for the United Kingdom is still there, not to mention the image of the Crown Prince and his wife is very good. It is reasonable to arrive in Australia this time and receive unprecedented welcome.

Australia is an important stop for the crown prince and his wife, and it has been a month since they arrived here.

Of course, it is not without problems, the crown prince can take care of them. For example, the crown prince said that it is inconvenient for him to interfere with the problems of Australia and New Zealand.At the beginning of the century, the colonies of Australia were changed to states and the Commonwealth of Australia was established.

New Zealand almost joined Australia. At the beginning, the six colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia launched a referendum, officially became independent, and decided to merge into a new country. New Guinea later became a The British territories also joined the Commonwealth of Australia.

New Zealand later declared independence.Australia originally wanted to recruit New Zealand as a state, but it was delayed due to legal issues. In fact, New Zealand has always been included in Australia's establishment documents.

Of course, the crown prince is not good at expressing his position on this issue, but fortunately, his life in Australia in the past month has been quite pleasant, and there are not many similar troubles.

"It seems that Pamela has been weird since yesterday." Princess Margaret came to the bedroom of the crown prince's sister, and said with a strange expression, "I don't know what's wrong."

"Maybe it's to contact Allen?" Crown Prince Elizabeth smiled gently, "It's not a short time to come out this time. It's normal for Pamela to miss her fiancé."

In fact, it's almost the same. Pamela Mountbatten is reading her fiancé's call back. Although she doesn't know what Alan Wilson is doing, she can feel the importance from the lines. It will be announced as soon as it is suitable, but I suggest that we still exercise restraint on the issue of reserves, and be prepared to get the largest share, so as not to attract the prying eyes of the Americans. As for the name, if the crown prince doesn’t mind, calling it Elizabeth Iron Mine is more symbolic , It just so happens that the crown prince is still visiting Australia, which is considered luck brought by the crown prince."

Congratulated by her fiancé, Pamela Mountbatten put a smile on her face, put away the telegram, and walked out of the room, preparing to discuss with Crown Prince Elizabeth on whether to announce the news, and if so, what method would be more appropriate.

It can be said that the exploration company she established has been wandering around Australia for a year. It is a lie to say that there is no pressure at all. You must know that there are twenty dukes in debt to her alone.

Today, she finally found the iron mine that her fiancé insisted on, which made Pamela Mountbatten very excited.

"Iron ore?" Crown Prince Elizabeth was full of astonishment. She was somewhat surprised by the news. Although iron ore is the most common mineral resource, Australia has long been not considered a country with iron ore.

Regarding Pamela Mountbatten's single-minded search for iron ore in this desolate continent, Crown Prince Elizabeth naturally had nothing to say, but she didn't have much hope, but today, there was indeed news of iron ore.

"Crown Prince, of course it's true. Allen asked me to ask for your opinion." Pamela Mountbatten said excitedly, mentioning her fiancé's name, which made the lover in the same room frown slightly.

Chapter 485 The Detractor

Pamela Mountbatten didn't notice the reaction of her love brain, but focused on praising her fiancé. It was Alan Wilson's encouragement all along that made her dare to take risks, believing that there are definitely high-quality of iron ore.

The news sent back by the exploration team, of course, includes the quality of the iron ore, 60.00% quality, which is already the same as the Mysore iron ore, which was a big deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention it may be even higher.

Following the detailed introduction, Crown Prince Elizabeth looked surprised, "That's really a treasure!"

As the current crown prince of a large empire, Crown Prince Elizabeth certainly understands what iron ore of this quality means.The United Kingdom is one of the very few countries in Europe that has a complete supply of coal and iron, and this alone surpasses France and Germany, which are lame.

However, British iron ore is also of a relatively common quality in the world, with an average quality of 30.00%, and the mining cost is very high.

But even so, the United Kingdom first started the Industrial Revolution in Europe with its solid foundation of coal and iron, and became the most successful country in modern times.

Iron ore with a quality of 60.00% supported the vigorous development of the United States in the late [-]th century. If the iron ore of Australian interests is stronger than the original American iron ore, Crown Prince Elizabeth would be amazed even if he thought about it for a while.

"Dear Crown Prince, I think this is a country on a mine." Pamela Mountbatten repeated the definition of Alan Wilson with a strong woman's posture, "This good news has made me more confident , not only to find iron ore here, but also to find all the minerals of this ancient continent."

Alan Wilson, who is half a world away, must continue to work hard for the British Empire during his vacation.First of all, the location of the iron mining area in Western Australia is very close to Indonesia, which has just successfully become independent.

Today Australia's economically developed areas are in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra in the east, while the west coast is still quite desolate.If we can combine the safety of this iron mine with Indonesia and conduct a wave of public opinion manipulation, I believe it will be more acceptable to Australians.

If there is any impression of World War II on Australians, it is that we must pay attention to the safety of the East Indies.

This is also the reason why Australia was very supportive when Alan Wilson planned to split Indonesia.

Now that Indonesia has become independent, people are clamoring that imperialism has split Indonesia. Other countries are far away, even if they are close, they are colonies. Only Australia is very close to Indonesia.

Indonesia, which is clamoring everywhere, has lost Kalimantan and half of New Guinea, but still has an area of ​​100 million square kilometers.With different religious beliefs and a large population, such a country is just across the water from Australia.This makes Australia have a natural sense of fear for Indonesia.

Indonesia is very dissatisfied with the division of two huge islands by a group of colonial countries plus Australia and New Zealand. Sukarno has repeatedly announced that he will not recognize this division. The most sensitive to Sukarno's statement is the recent In the immediate Australia, especially the issue of New Guinea, Australia will never discuss it. It would rather let half of the island be under the rule of the Dutch forever than let the island fall into the hands of Indonesia.

In the eyes of Australia, the island of New Guinea is an important barrier in the northern part of the Australian mainland and an important part of Australia's defense of its own security.During the war, Japan tried to use the island of New Guinea as a springboard to attack Australia.

Once Indonesia controls the entire island of New Guinea, it means that Indonesia has gained a springboard to attack Australia.

Although in the United Nations General Assembly, Indonesia is a supporter of partition, Australia is only one of them.But other countries are far from having a sense of presence in Australia. At the United Nations General Assembly, Australia's attitude is also the most resolute.

In the eyes of some Australian hardliners, the safety of northern Australia can only be guaranteed by dismembering Indonesia. The Dutch partition plan made Australians cheer.

In fact, we know from the location of the iron mines that the location of the iron mines in Western Australia is closer to Java Island, the core of Indonesia. With a little effort on this, the UK has even more reason to occupy Malaya.

After all, long-distance and short-distance attack are not the unique secrets of any country, as long as you have a little knowledge of government affairs, you will think of it.Alan Wilson knows that Australia has historically supported Malaysia.

The conflict between Indonesia and Malaysia intensified, and Sukarno directly sent troops to attack Malaysia.In order to support Malaysia, Australia also sent troops to Sarawak and Sabah to confront the Indonesian troops who invaded Malaysia.At the same time, Australia has also strengthened its military defense in areas adjacent to Indonesia, and declared that it will purchase a large amount of weapons from Europe and the United States, posing a decisive battle with Indonesia.

If Alan Wilson's idea can be realized, it is best to be able to operate the Malaya colony for a long time with the support of Australia. As long as this goal can be achieved, he would rather Indonesia be a country of the Soviet system.

It would be better for Indonesia to become a country under the Soviet system, and Britain could keep occupying Malaya on the grounds of protecting Australia.

It took a day, Alan Wilson, on vacation, to concoct a report on the exposure of a Western Australian iron mining area to Indonesian gaze, transmit it to Pamela Mountbatten, and let the fiancée through certain channels in due course , let Australians pay attention to this issue.

"Should I use the Malayans to spread some ambitious remarks about Australia in Indonesia?" Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and finally decided to wait.

It is always unreliable to use other people's hands for this kind of thing, and he still hopes to handle this matter himself.There is still time, it is not imminent.

After sending out a telegram, Alan Wilson went to Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Rama to give lectures. He wanted to shoot a movie called Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, which would promote the European epic production.

Although the timing may be somewhat questionable, for example, the Turkish army is now in Greece, under the organization of the United States, to suppress pro-Soviet armed forces.

But Alan Wilson doesn't believe that because of a movie, the situation in Greece can change?Even if the Persians in the movie may be regarded by Greek fans as reflecting the current Turks, it is still not a problem under the strong stability maintenance work of the United States.

Make money without trembling!Alan Wilson even wanted to use this to get Greta Garbo out of the mountain, and he felt that Greta Garbo was suitable to play the queen.

Pamela Mountbatten received this extended version of the telegram immediately. This time the telegram is more clear. It is about the announcement of iron ore reserves. Alan Wilson said in the telegram, "According to the most optimistic It is estimated that the reserves of iron ore can reach one billion tons.”

Of course, iron mines of this scale are not small, but they will not be targeted by the Americans, and it is not enough for Australia to lift the ban on iron ore exports. It is nothing more than a larger Mysore iron mine.

When all relevant preparations are completed, Pamela Mountbatten has prepared everything, and it will not be too late to announce larger reserves.

In fact, no one knows how many iron ore reserves there are in Western Australia in later generations.The term estimated reserves is not a definitive term in itself.But there are at least 200 billion tons of predictable reserves, which is a figure that is easy to mine on the bare surface.

As for the theoretically most optimistic [-] trillion tons of iron ore, Alan Wilson estimates that the mine pit is estimated to be deeper than the South African gold mine.

Because of the discovery of this iron mine, Pamela Mountbatten became more convinced of her fiancé's talent.After getting such a good-quality iron ore, she now wants to fly back to Europe immediately to give birth to her fiancé.

Pamela Mountbatten, who was holding the telegram in her hand, was seen by Princess Margaret who came over, and she knew at a glance that she must have been told by the man that she didn't know the north, south, east, and west.

Sitting directly next to Pamela Mountbatten, Princess Margaret saw that Pamela Mountbatten put away the telegram, as if it was so rare, she couldn't help but speak, and said in very naive words, "Sister Pamela, You said that if a man is always around a woman for nothing, does he have bad intentions towards this woman? If the woman is noble and the man's background is relatively ordinary, can it be concluded that he has bad intentions?"

"Margaret, don't say that about Prince Philip!" Pamela Mountbatten listened to what the crown prince's sister said, without thinking about Alan Wilson, and directly persuaded, "Although the status of Prince Philip and the crown prince are poor, It's a little far away, and Greece can't be compared with Britain, but the relationship between the crown prince and the prince is still very good. And the prince is a man with his own self-esteem, if we look at his marriage with the crown prince in this way, it will also hurt the crown prince."

"This..." Princess Margaret looked at Pamela Mountbatten helplessly. Could it be that what she said was not clear enough?

The uncompromising Princess Margaret organized her words again, "Even if you are right, Pamela, but some problems are in yourself, you may not be so clear-headed. With your identity and Conditions, what kind of man can't be found in the whole of Britain, like Alan, he is not a good match for you."

"Ah?" Pamela Mountbatten's expression changed. She now knew how her fiancé would hate this princess. I am lucky to be with him."

Alan Wilson, who has just added to the highest quality iron ore in the world today, cannot be slandered in the eyes of Pamela Mountbatten at this time, no one can do it!

Chapter 486 Anglo-French Coal and Iron Community

In fact, the discovery of iron ore in Australia is a good thing for British Malaya in Alan Wilson's view.It will help promote the development of British Malaya in the future. Australia itself does not have the environment for the development of the steel industry.

Resource countries with vast land and sparse population absorb capital and push up labor costs, which brings about the disadvantage of high manufacturing costs.

And with the high trade surplus of mineral exports, the exchange rate tends to rise and fluctuate greatly, further reducing revenue.Squeezed at both ends, the death of the manufacturing industry is an almost inevitable outcome.

To put it simply, the Netherlands is plagued by diseases. Countries such as Australia and Norway that can cover the entire social security are only a handful of resource-based countries.

Canada is also excluded here, Canada is one of the seven major industrial countries in the capitalist world.The export of manufacturing industry exceeds the export of resources, and it is not a purely resource-based country.On the contrary, Russia is becoming more and more like a resource-based country.

Australia is a Russia with a higher ceiling because of its sparse population.Although Australia's land is barren, the food produced throughout the country barely makes Australia a food exporter. If better seeds do not appear, once Australia's population exceeds 3000 million, Australia's land will not be able to feed Australia's population.

But under the warning line of 3000 million, Australia is the most nourishing among resource-based countries.

When it comes to steel, there are many kinds of steel, and the most exported one is crude steel.The export distance of iron ore is not a problem, but the finer the steel processing, the greater the degree of customization, the closer to the buyer's drive, and the closer to the market.

There are not many Australians, and naturally there is no market. There are only a few markets in the world, and there is no doubt that they are all in the country that needs steel. Therefore, Australia is doomed to engage in the steel industry, which is similar to direct export of iron ore.

The added value of crude steel is limited.Therefore, even if selling steel is more profitable than selling iron ore, the restrictions on the steel market are not enough to foster a large-scale steel industry.And, like cars, steelmaking has economies of scale where winners take all.

As a standard of an important industry in a powerful country, the steel industry has excluded Australia from the root.It can even be said that after ten or twenty years, the scrap steel hoarded in Australia can be accumulated to the point of recycling.There is no internal market, so why engage in the steel industry?

Although Australia has no shortage of coal and iron, it is very short of water. The proportion of arid areas in the country is almost the same as the proportion of the land area occupied by the Egyptian desert. Egypt has the Nile River, but Australia does not.

But since coal and iron are abundant in both oceans, Australia's population is below the population warning line, and although the Netherlands is plagued by illness, it has been able to live a good life.

If the general environment remains unchanged, we can always be a resource country that lives a good life.Although coal and iron will bring good times, it will also make the Australian currency extraordinarily strong, stifling the development of manufacturing.

These deficiencies in Australia itself can be supplemented by Malaya. If Malaya cannot make up for it, the British mainland will further supplement it.

As long as public opinion is created to make Australia understand this point, it can be said that British Malaya can even allow Australia to garrison troops to help Britain keep this overseas colony, and Australia will certainly be willing to do so.

Therefore, regarding the development of the colony of British Malaya, it is best to let Indonesia become the villain and appear as an enemy country.In this way, Australia will help Britain defend Malaya because of its own personal safety.

As long as this is achieved, Australia can naturally remain a resource country that God rewards food for food.

Alan Wilson felt that even Australia's own think tank might not have paid much attention to his information for Pamela Mountbatten.

As for how to manipulate public opinion and make Australians agree with some of the views in the telegram, that is the matter of the daughter of Daying Long Aotian.He also believes that his fiancée, who has been taught many times by precepts and deeds, knows what is the key point and should make use of it, and just keep silent when she understands what is in her heart.

For example, although Australia has a large area, its available land area is the size of the United Kingdom. This kind of speech is very suitable for the Australian politicians who are prepared for danger in times of peace.

If Alan Wilson was in London at this time, he might have been a guest at the homes of several dukes in the past few days.

But he was serving the British Empire in the Ruhr area, and several dukes who wanted to talk to his son-in-law were thrown in the air.There is also a sister Wang who is next to his fiancée who is malicious to him.

Bonn is negotiating the final negotiations of the Anglo-French Coal and Iron Community. The deputy secretaries-general of the two British-occupied trade committees are the direct negotiators. Alan Wilson is less than one kilometer away from the straight line and personally entertained Heidi Laura who returned to Europe. Ma, gave each other meticulous care.

"It's too bad, didn't I tell you to die." Heidi Lamar cleaned up her body with a steadfast expression, and complained, "Do you want to be like Vivienne?"

The reason why Vivien Leigh did not return to Europe was because the United States was farther away and more suitable for giving birth to a child.Great British Treasure attaches great importance to this life in the womb, and wants to let the crystallization of love land safely.

Alan Wilson, who had already experienced the happiness of the prime minister, naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with Heidi Rama's complaint, but instead frankly agreed, "That's really great, I like children more, and the children you gave birth to Must be beautiful."

"Let Ingrid give birth to you!" Heidi Rama gave the man a blank look, not surprised by the way it should be.

Instead, Alan Wilson revealed seemingly unintentionally, "Actually, Ingrid has no objection. I think if I take the time to persevere, I should be able to do it."

"I'll take a picture of you with a camera at that time, so that you two will be ruined." Heidi Lama gritted her silver teeth, threatening with a fierce look on her face, as if she would really do this.

"Wow!" Alan Wilson continued to put on his clothes unmoved. He felt that there must be a place for Heidi Lamarr in his maternity photo collection in the future.

The threat failed, and Heidi Rama changed the rhetoric, saying that in the script of the three hundred warriors of Sparta, the queen is more suitable for her to play.

"Greta is at that age, so I really need a classic image." Alan Wilson immediately became dizzy. He didn't expect that he would come to give a play, and it really became a play. He said with relief, "And will this script Passing is still unknown, there is a war going on in Greece now, there are many factors other than the movie.”

Moreover, Ingrid Bergman, who returned to Europe, did not rush to play it, and it was unfair to give Heidi Rama this role.

Although deep down, as far as Ingrid Bergman's physical fitness is concerned, even if she plays the warrior of Thermopylae, it is not against her.

In the process of getting dressed, I naturally listened for a while about the fact that Hollywood is fiercely competitive and a new generation replaces an old one.Including Joan Crawford recently fell in love with a young actor named Jane Adele.

"Wow!" He is also a friend with intimate experiences. Alan Wilson is still very interested in Joan Crawford's emotional experience. Jane Adele seems to be the stage name that Marilyn Monroe once used.

Ask about Jane Adele's image, and Heidi Rama also said that the young actor's blond image is really impressive.

That should be it!Alan Wilson was purely listening to gossip, his desire to get an actress is decreasing now, and he no longer has the mentality of giving me this opportunity at the beginning.I am in the later stage of the state of mind when one person attains the Tao. If I changed to asking proactively in the past, it was a sign that I was looking for the door, but now I don't have this idea.

I heard from Greta Garbo that Joan Crawford had seen her stepping down the stairs in shock.So it appears that Joan Crawford is indeed a double plug.

Leaving the apartment, driving his car in Germany, he returned to the headquarters of the Trade Commission in a short while, greeted his former colleagues, and inquired about the negotiations of the Anglo-American Coal and Iron Community.

It is normal to talk about how to allocate German resources without the presence of German representatives.Both Britain and France are old imperialist countries, and they are very good at such negotiations. There are many examples such as the Munich Conference.

This negotiation is coming to an end. When Harold saw Alan Wilson, he said directly, "France has always been very interested in putting a shackle on German industry in the future. This incident is no accident. The treaty was signed in a few days. Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg expressed their willingness to join, and the three countries will start negotiations next month."

"This is a good thing! Let's talk for a while longer." Alan Wilson said very happily, "In this way, with us and the French watching, things on the German side will be more at ease."

The signing of the Treaty of the Anglo-French Coal and Iron Community can be seen as an important step in uniting Europe, and this is something that the Foreign Secretary has always cared about.

"Don't know what to do after the Board of Trade!" Alan Wilson said of the Board of Trade body that is still in operation.

Harold gave an explanation, and directly changed it to an auxiliary agency led by the Commissioner in Germany, but it was not too soon. As long as the British-occupied area still exists for a day, the Trade Commission will need to exist.

Alan Wilson hopes to last at least until the outbreak of the Korean War, so that the United Kingdom will have more negotiating capital on the merger of the occupied areas.

This should not be difficult, but it has been delayed for a year, and Britain's thinking has changed.After talking with the French about the coal and iron community, they will have more confidence, and their enthusiasm for the merger of the occupied areas will also decrease. Of course, there is no enthusiasm at all.

Anyway, judging from the current observation, it is quite difficult for the Federal Republic of Germany to want to appear in [-]. The common interests of Britain and France are greater, and the days of dealing with the United States will continue.
