Chapter 405 Big Apple City

Alan Wilson believes that since he has paid so much for these actresses, it is not too much to ask for something. Barbie’s annual sales of five million is not all due to him, but at least part of it is due to him.

What are these actresses working hard for in Hollywood? In the final analysis, isn't it for money? So is he going too far in wanting to take a test drive?

It's not excessive at all, and he doesn't take advantage of everything. After all, in terms of age, he is younger than these female stars.

In order to prove that even though he had not officially arrived, he still had a heart for the British Empire. Even when he was living among thousands of flowers, Alan Wilson still did not forget to write a report.

Although this year is an election year, it is still the beginning of the year, and it is still too reckless to conduct a feasibility analysis on the election now.

Moreover, Alan Wilson's character is not here, and the character without Orientalism and colonialism is more tenable. So he used his short stay in British Malaya as an excuse to analyze the civil war situation in a certain country.

Based on what I saw and heard when I lived in Xiangjiang, I think the level of the gangsters is very high. The second half extends to the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia, indicating that this situation is very common in Asian countries.

In these passages, Alan Wilson spoke with a very certain tone, because he knew that during the Cold War, the various pig teammates supported by the United States, at least in East and Southeast Asia, Chang Gong was just an ordinary member of the group of people supported by the United States. Not a lower limit.

After writing this report, Alan Wilson did not send it out. After all, the machinery and laborers were still floating on the sea. He now had time to familiarize himself with another job of his, which involved diplomatic work as the Boston consul.

He would not send this report to London until the events in Newfoundland officially started, showing that he was still concerned about the country and the people in a difficult environment.

In his life as a test driver, Alan Wilson experienced the compactness and exquisiteness of domestic cars and the majesty of German cars. However, compared with Swedish cars, German cars also seemed less spacious.

After wandering around for a while, Alan Wilson returned to the embrace of domestically produced cars. In just a few days in Los Angeles, Alan Wilson also looked for opportunities to observe the living conditions of Americans, hoping to find some clues about the post-war Americans. .

In fact, from the moment the World War broke out, a very small group of decision-makers in London had already thought about the transition from Greece to Rome two thousand years ago. In the eyes of the Greeks, the Romans were barbaric but high-spirited, and they inevitably absorbed the Greek culture. Culture has become a more powerful empire.

In the eyes of that small group of decision-makers, the British Empire, which was still influential in the world at that time, would inevitably fall into the fate of Greece facing Rome.

The World War began, and the United States experienced unprecedented prosperity in terms of industry and national strength as the entire country became embroiled in the war effort. Clearly, America's military expansion stands out both in terms of speed and impact.

Military-related employment grew from 300,000 people in the 1930s to 12 percent of the country's population during the war, 16 million people, and never fell back to pre-war levels.

Of course, when communicating with colleagues at the Los Angeles Consulate, Alan Wilson knew that at the government level, the United States had begun to prepare to fight the Soviet Union. It was not as obvious as McCarthy later, but it was done in a way of only doing but not talking.

After Truman proposed the containment policy, he announced the launch of the federal employee loyalty program.

The political implications of preventing communists and their supporters from entering government jobs were clear.

The Pledge of Allegiance has become a very important part of American life. Americans have experienced similar oaths before, but only during times of war in armed conflicts.

The appearance of this kind of oath in peacetime shows that the United States has truly launched a war with no end in sight. If there is a war, there will be casualties. Truman's presidential order launched a loyalty investigation of federal employees, costing hundreds of jobs. This number is not that staggering, as the total number of people surveyed exceeds four million.

"The so-called progressives exist in at least two places in the United States. One is schools. Schools are always the home base of idealists. Many dangerous ideas began to spread in schools, and there is Hollywood. Truman The president still misses what really matters."

As the consul in Boston, it seemed that something was wrong for Alan Wilson to speak so openly in the Los Angeles consulate. However, he has not officially taken office yet, and there is still room for freedom. There is no problem in discussing issues with colleagues from the perspective of a free person.

This is not to slander Hollywood, not to mention the specific attitude of Hollywood during the McCarthy era. Hollywood in the 21st century alone is also the stronghold of various political correctnesses. Although the ultimate purpose is not the same, the effect is similar.

"Alan, it just so happened that the country asked about your situation." Consul Jerry from Los Angeles walked in, and just in time to see Alan Wilson said, "After you arrive in Newfoundland, prepare to welcome representatives from other countries at an appropriate time. London wants to have a conference in Newfoundland.”

"Are you urging me to take office?" Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "But the support I need is not yet in place, so there is no point in going there. If there is no improvement after taking office, I am afraid that the residents of Newfoundland will be disappointed in the British Empire."

Of course, Alan Wilson can't say that he hasn't driven enough yet. He can only explain it by saying that the support he called has not been in place yet. He still has the original intention of staying in the United States. "Besides, I haven't gone to Boston yet. I have to make some contacts."

"There is no urging in the telegram." Jerry shook his head. "The tone is not urgent. It just reminds you to make preparations. London is planning to convene a meeting in Newfoundland in the middle of the year. Canada will participate. By then, the United States will Representatives will also be sent to participate.”

Alan Wilson, who was originally absent-minded, listened to the countries mentioned by the Los Angeles consul, and his playful smile disappeared from his face. The Five Eyes Alliance was going to be established under his nose?

In fact, before the Third Reich knelt down, during World War II, the United Kingdom and the United States jointly launched the Venona Project to cooperate in deciphering secret intelligence, aiming to intercept and resist the Soviet threat.

There is no Five Eyes alliance yet. The UK-US intelligence cooperation has joined Canada, Australia and New Zealand because the UK believes that when comparing the strengths of the two countries alone, the balance will tilt towards the United States.

Therefore, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which have a favorable impression of the United Kingdom, were brought in to help balance the United States.

Of course, after a few decades, the United Kingdom declined to that virtue. The three countries that were originally introduced as support also turned to obey the United States and left the old father aside.

Calculating the time, it seems that the time when Britain involved Canada to contain the rebels was 1948. What surprised Alan Wilson was that he didn't expect that it would be related to himself.

When Alan Wilson stayed in the United States, he was not driving all the time. While driving, he was also thinking about how to develop Newfoundland's economy, but he didn't know whether he could succeed.

Currently, there is no such thing as lottery in the United States. Historically, it has been banned for fifty years. The lottery business in the United States developed rapidly after the American Revolution. However, in the late 19th century, the lottery business was banned by some U.S. state governments due to neglect of management and scandals among some leaders.

Louisiana is the only independent state. The lottery business in Louisiana in the United States reached its peak in the second half of the 19th century. The "Golden Octopus" lottery game issued by the state government is known to almost everyone in the local area.

But many lottery-related corruption and bribery incidents have also occurred in the state. Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States, once wrote to Congress, insisting that Congress introduce relevant regulations to stop illegal activities related to lottery.

Congress enacted regulations and orders in 1890 that deprived the United States Postal Service of its right to operate lotteries. Later, in order to rectify the lottery business, the existence of American lotteries was directly banned.

I don’t know if the promotion of lottery business in Newfoundland will affect the United States. Although they are all in North America, Newfoundland’s location is a bit remote after all.

Of course, Alan Wilson's idea of ​​revitalizing Newfoundland includes but is not limited to lottery. Although compared to Newfoundland's population of hundreds of thousands of citizens, one can live well if the lottery is done well.

But people can't always put their eggs in one basket. What if they fail? Of course, he was planning to find ways to import and export timber through Europe's post-war reconstruction, but relying solely on timber import and export, the pressure to complete the project on time was still too great.

Naturally, we need to think of other ways. In addition to working hard as a lumberjack, we also need other help to be more secure.

The telegram from London was still effective, and Alan Wilson reluctantly left Los Angeles.

Arriving in New York, a little closer to Boston, I stood at the door of an apartment building and knocked on the door until the door was opened. Greta Garbo, wearing home clothes, opened the door.

"Why are you here?" Greta Garbo had no intention of letting Alan Wilson in, and said in a cold tone, "How did you find this place?"

"After all, I am an outstanding imperial civil servant. It is not a problem to find someone." Alan Wilson was about to squeeze in when he spoke, but Greta Garbo refused to let in and threatened softly, "This is the United States, not the United Kingdom. .”

"I'm calling the police if you're like this." Bang...the closed door blocked the rest of the words.

Alan Wilson was very angry. He was the only one who couldn't get in touch with the silent film queen. She was living in seclusion in New York. He had to make Greta Garbo understand that he was quite angry now.
