If the truth be told, Alan Wilson hated the weather in London, even though there was very little fog in London this season.

Although it had been raining non-stop since early morning, and anyone who recklessly stayed outdoors for a minute or two would be soaked in the rain, it was nothing serious. Hundreds of migrant workers hid under black umbrellas and marched toward the factory. The pouring rain made it more like a military band adding to the excitement. To celebrate this occasion, the drums and horns sounded and a variety of exciting marches were played.

Maybe 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 to know it well, London would never have anything to do with sunshine in his mind.

Perhaps Britain's ability to start the colonial era was also related to the fickle local weather. 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 darkening quickly. The pouring rain and the deepening darkness 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 reward. .

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, his bedroom, bathroom, kitchen...

This makes Alan Wilson a little worried. He is not too worried at the current age, 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 feel that 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 the business of two people from now on, so I can't be too careless."

"It's good that you know!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled slightly. Her changes were visible to the naked eye, because when the man came back, her whole body became radiant.

Pamela Mountbatten wears an heirloom aristocratic dress as if it were a priceless piece of jewelry that must be admired, both because it is beautiful in its own right and 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 is nothing to say about Japan. That is 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 in the country are worthy of." invest."

If there is anything that can connect Japan and the United Kingdom, it is that they are two island countries, and there is nothing similar about them. It is undeniable that because Britain is also an island country, it has long been the envy of Japan.

This 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. Due to connections, the aristocracy also needs to be invited.

Colleagues in Whitehall cannot remain indifferent given Alan Wilson's job.

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. What location, everything is fine.

Eventually he understood that it could be done, just don't let the media notice. It is not impossible to think so.

"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 local area. Who will we invite?"

"It's a problem, so let's put it on 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 it 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 transfers.

The current development of British Malaya is what 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 for the two of them to settle things before September. If Pamela Mountbatten thinks it is not enough, then the negligent person can be settled in Sarawak. Place added. British Malaya was like summer all year round, so you could do it anytime you wanted.

"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. One is the main case and the other is the filing.

The night was long and she couldn't sleep, so Ellen Wilson had to consider her choice.

Pamela Mountbatten herself had a proud temperament. It was dawn outside the window, the sky was clear and cloudless in the morning, and there was no sign of yesterday's rain. She understood that the only feasible way for her was the last thing she wanted to do.

The pile of sheets smelled of sweat, perfume, and the aftertaste of cloudy and rainy Wushan Mountains. Next to him, Pamela Mountbatten was sleeping soundly beside him, her hair spread out on the pillow. Sunlight streams in through the windows.

Alan Wilson wanted to wake up but didn't wake up, and the little farewell was better than the wedding. In the end, they both fell into a deep sleep, 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 aircraft carrier "Triumph" conducted the first oblique deck flight experiment in history, and the results were very satisfactory. It should be noted that the beveled deck was not built separately, and the beveled landing zone was painted on the through 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 Malta ships 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. When needed, the piston is opened and allowed to drive the power unit. Of course, these require high technology. Design and calculations.

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 wastes labor.

Moreover, aircraft carriers are always at sea all year round, and steam catapults require huge amounts of fresh water to provide power, which is a big trouble to carry or store.

The so-called saving money is a false proposition. Now there are two Malta-class aircraft carriers about to enter service. 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 mellow and very consistent with Mountbatten's temperament.
