Chapter 235 Jet Age
In response to Sir Barron's words, Alan Wilson made a surprised but not excessive expression, indicating that the recent play with Vivien Leigh is by no means in vain, and has already achieved phased results.
He actually knew about this. He had already returned to British India. Naturally, no one else had to hand over Pamela Mountbatten's telegram to him. He also knew about Pamela's thoughts about her sister getting married. Delaying my father's appointment, and so on...
But his immediate boss was right next to him, so he couldn't say that he knew the news earlier than Sir Barron. Didn't he learn from Jack Ma's saying, "I'm busier than the president, but I don't have the power of the president."
If so, at least before Mountbatten arrived in British India, Alan Wilson would first parry Sir Barron's training, "It's Sir Edward's news!"
Sir Barron was very satisfied to see Alan Wilson in a daze of surprise, and asked what he and Pedro were talking about today.
The conversation with Pedro is still at the secret stage. This secret is the same for Sir Barron. Although Sir Barron is the head of British India, he would never have thought of this highly regarded assistant. I have estimated the price of the entire British India in my heart, and I am looking for a seller to package and sell it.
Compared with guts, Alan Wilson is much bigger than this civil servant leader. Naturally, he also has inner motivation to do so. In order to make the British Empire continue to be great, British India must cash out. There are minefields in front of him, and he has to bravely wade through them.
Confused Sir Barron with some trivial matters, only talking about the geographical location of Goa.
"If we evacuate the subcontinent, Goa's status is very similar to that of Xiangjiang." Sir Baron said suddenly, "It's very similar, isn't it? But then again, the governor of Xiangjiang is also changed frequently, and it seems that three governors have been changed. , is not as stable as British India. Alan, you have lived in Xiangjiang, what impression do you have there."
"There is no special impression of a place with big boogers." Alan Wilson replied indifferently, "One of the many colonies of the British Empire, not a particularly good one. It can be regarded as the British Malaya. A window is used to attract immigrants and balance the peace believers in the East Indies. Today, the British India, I think the biggest difficulty is that there is no way to deal with Hindus, and similar mistakes must not be repeated.”
"Yes, balance is the best way to manage the colony." Sir Barron nodded in satisfaction, "You seem to have sent quite a few people to the Andaman Islands, don't you?"
"Once the famine comes, British India will have no time to control the archipelago. If there is a famine on the island, it can be regarded as part of the famine on the subcontinent." Alan Wilson said without the slightest emotion, "Give them a chance to advance." The opportunity of statistical data is already recognized that they have come to the world, as for others, their personal abilities are limited, and they should not ask too much."
This famine in 1946 was a big test for Allen Wilson. Since it was a big test, he naturally hoped to solve as many things as possible through this famine.
After coming to the sub-continent, the previous operation can be regarded as laying the foundation. Whether many problems planned before can be solved depends on when the famine will come.
Alan Wilson believed that it would surely come to the glorious subcontinent with vigorous steps.
After not staying for a long time, Alan Wilson left the Governor's Mansion, knocked on the door with ease, and when the door was opened, he said, "Miss Vivienne, I just attended a reception, so I dare to disturb you."
"It's really presumptuous." Vivien Leigh cast a wink, and stepped aside to open the door, snap! The door was closed heavily, as if everything was an illusion just now.
Vivien Leigh's documentary film, India's Daughter has not yet been completed, but it has come to an end.
However, time is running out now. Usually, if it doesn’t rain for a day, nothing can be seen. But in a place that depends on the sky, it can be fatal during the busy farming season. Of course, this is also a good opportunity for Vivien Leigh.
"As long as you come to the United States, bring your documentary film and news of the Indian famine, and donate even a little food. You are the target of the empire's propaganda this year. The goddess of London, the daughter of India, what kind of praise you want, you will It is easy to get it. At that time, your popularity will be worldwide, and you will not appear as an actor."
With Cleopatra's fiery body in his arms, Alan Wilson followed the temptation carefully, showing that this is a good opportunity for a class leap. Although Vivien Leigh will still be an actor in the future, she will not be a pure actor anymore.
"It's you who hug me like that." A pair of arms like lotus roots wrapped around the man's neck, and Vivien Leigh even had the urge to give birth to a child for this little man.
However, the Demon Empress suppressed this urge, she couldn't be sorry for her husband, at least she didn't think about it until after the divorce.
Naturally, Alan Wilson would never have thought that even an international actress with such poor resistance, surrendered to his ubiquitous charm, even moved the idea of divorce.
In fact, it's no wonder that who made Alan Wilson a person of integrity, who took the benefits and tried his best to help others plan. This is what Portugal has just experienced today.
In Vivien Leigh, this feature is particularly prominent. It can be said that the more tragic the Great Famine in India, the image of Vivien Leigh running for it will rise even higher.
But this time, the public opinion hegemony of the British Empire will definitely not be used to block news, but to use the Great Famine to shape the image of the British Empire. In this process, if Vivien Leigh can shoulder the national mission, the British Empire will naturally get Push hard, but how much you can continue depends on Vivien Leigh herself.
"If you were a scientist, your clever head might lead to social progress." Vivien Li tapped the little man's nose with her onion-like fingers, "Now you only study people's hearts."
"It would be nice to be able to understand the human heart research. Besides, whoever said that I didn't lead the social progress, I contributed to the de Havilland company." Allen Wilson said, "It's just in the name of someone else."
As for whose name is used, of course it is the name of Pamela Mountbatten. Money, father has rights.
And Pamela Mountbatten likes herself, so I want to help her. Of course, the contact with Pamela Mountbatten started by throwing money, which shows how hard a man's waist is, to a large extent depends on the economy strength.
But after showing his economic strength, he has to come up with something else, and Alan Wilson is not yet mentally prepared.
Teach a civil servant's speech to a woman who should be a wife. He wasn't in London, so of course he didn't know that Pamela Mountbatten had already used the words he had heard and seen on his father.
The world's first jet airliner is actually the Comet airliner of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is one of the first countries to invent jet engines. After World War II, the British adapted jet technology to civilian aircraft.
De Havilland also obtained German research on the aerodynamics of swept wings.
After that, de Havilland began to design a jet airliner and named it Comet. This civil airliner was the first civilian airliner to be powered by a jet engine, which was considered a revolutionary technology at the time.
From around the time of the First World War, there has always been a problem in Britain, getting up early to catch up with the late episode. Always come up with very advanced technology and create a product that looks like it.
If American-made weapons use first-class materials to manufacture first-class weapons, and Soviet-made weapons use second-class materials to integrate first-class weapon systems, we, Great Britain, do not follow the usual path and use first-class materials to manufacture second-class weapons. Did it more than once!
Technology is not without. It is no problem to test any link alone, but it will cause problems when assembled. The Comet jetliner is just one example that is on the horizon.
Comet aircraft adopted the new technology and new materials at that time as soon as it appeared, and was considered to be the most advanced jumbo jet airliner at that time in terms of flight speed, comfort, and number of passengers.
Thanks to Pamela Mountbatten, who has been dazzled by love, she directly took the blueprint of the Boeing 737 that Alan Wilson sent to London by express express, and went to De Havilland's company to reveal her identity. , At the same time, it is necessary to show the desire to bring capital into the group.
Why is it an outline drawing? This is because Alan Wilson has only seen the appearance of a Boeing airliner. It would be good if he could draw it from memory. In order to improve the success rate, he also instilled some words about metal fatigue in the telegram.
But even so, he can't guarantee that Pamela Mountbatten can help him get this matter done.
For this childish second-generation daughter, de Havilland was dismissive, and it was impossible to connect Pamela Mountbatten with aircraft design from the outside.
But Pamela Mountbatten is indeed in a state of love, but she also shows a different side when she is in a state of love, such as Whitehall's standard civil servant speech skills.
As soon as they met, Pamela Mountbatten used a set of civil servant speech skills to frighten de Havilland. In addition, his father was the former commander-in-chief of Southeast Asia, and his mother was a family background of a famous wealthy businessman. Finally, he came up with a sketch of the Boeing airliner.
This surprised de Havilland. He is a researcher on jet airliners. Of course, he can see that this sketch has great reference value. After hearing Pamela Mountbatten's guess about metal fatigue, he directly respected this little girl. Respect.
"I believe that the era of jet airliners is bound to come, and many powerful countries are investing money in research." Pamela Mountbatten said with a hint of hope, "The British Empire cannot let the opportunity slip away again."
