Chapter 159: I Didn't Teach It in School
"The Prime Minister and Sir Edward are very interested in this two-winged plan. It can be seen that if this is done well, it will definitely be valued by London. Alan Wilson had finally finished reading the accounts, and of course he had to get another copy from the dragoons when he returned, and the two could only be determined after comparing the two.
Alan Wilson can't be blamed for being careful, after all, the profits of tobacco are too lucrative, and there are too many people involved, and there is no room for mistakes, and it is actually very difficult to do everything for the empire and take into account personal pursuits at the same time.
In his heart, Alan Wilson never expected that the current British Empire would return to its peak to teach the United States and the Soviet Union to behave. It's just a hope that Britain will still maintain its autonomy.
In the early 20th century, the United States entered the Edwardian era and had more industrial output than all the countries of the British Empire combined, which was much earlier than before World War I.
Before World War I, the British Empire had reached its peak of power. Because if you consider that after the first French ironclad crisis, the strength of the Royal Navy far exceeded the sum of the two powers that followed, and the Royal Navy of that era was not a two-power standard at all, it was completely the US Navy of the twenty-first century, and the navy of one country could single-handedly challenge all countries, and there was no need for standards at all.
The two-power standard itself is a product of the British Empire, which already had to develop naval plans to suppress its opponents.
However, the Navy has peculiarities, the construction period is too long and requires huge investment, even if the latecomer catches up, the stock fleet of the leader is very scary.
The United States experienced the hardships of this kind of catching up when it caught up with the British Royal Navy, and the Soviet Red Navy will also experience it 20 years later, and China in the 21 st century will also experience it.
Yes, but to be caught up, with the current national strength of Britain and the United States, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for Britain to overtake.
The British Empire before the World War was not in full swing, and the meaning of the World War for Britain itself was a desperate struggle to kill competitors, but both times the Germans bore it.
The Royal Navy was in dire need of a new warship, and it had been shown during the war that aircraft carriers were the future, not battleships. The battleships of the Royal Navy needed to be decommissioned, new ones needed to be built, but the current British Empire simply did not have money.
This is not a problem between Labour and the Conservatives, if the Conservatives are in power, they can only keep the old warships in service for as many years as possible, and the new warships still cannot be built, and the Royal Navy will still not be able to keep up in the next round of innovation.
The most tragic thing is that Britain can't even find the means to counteract in a short period of time, and in the long run, the United States can only slip because of the racial issue, but now it is only 1945! Britain simply could not seize this opportunity.
In a short period of time, Alan Wilson can only think about how to keep his autonomy, and the key is still the issue of money. That's why he urgently needs to return to British India, which is also a colony of 4 million square kilometers and 400 million people, and there must still be potential to be tapped.
If given a choice, Alan Wilson hoped that the front line of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union would be in Asia, so that the European side could get a respite, and it seemed that the place where the war broke out was indeed in Asia.
At least the current situation must have surpassed the same period in history, take the European Community as an example, after the Suez Canal War, France was greatly disappointed with Britain, and turned around to promote reconciliation with Germany, and then established the European Economic Community.
After the Suez Canal War, Charles de Gaulle returned to power and began to become independent and substantialize the European Community.
The British applied to join the European Community and were urged by the Americans to go in, and to apply for membership in the European Community, they needed the approval of the French, and the French president at that time was Charles de Gaulle, and asked the British to beg the French.
Moreover, de Gaulle was a standard nationalist, completely unfriendly to the British, the negotiation process was almost humiliating, and he vetoed twice, and the British lost countless smiles, and had to wait until de Gaulle stepped down to join.
At least now Britain has certainly avoided the moment when the United States and France have found an opportunity to humiliate themselves at the same time, and the European Community has been formed, which, although a union of colonial powers, is honestly certainly more useful than a mere economic community, and that is a good start.
Although Alan Wilson did not want to come to Europe for his trip, he had made a modest effort for the sake of the dignity of the British Empire, and now he was waiting for the dispatch to arrive and return to British India.
"I'm probably going to get promoted this time." In the Heilman family's house, Alan Wilson was in high spirits, stepped out of the thinking of an imperial servant, and found the state of a superior man again, as a warm-up for his return to British India.
"Are you leaving Germany?" After listening to Alan Wilson's words, Anna said faintly, "I may not know when we will meet again." ”
"Telegraph contact, I believe that our fate is far from over." Alan Wilson also expressed his reluctance to the dragoon sisters, and in the process of getting along with the dragoons, he fully realized what it means to say the same thing, and satisfied the despicable desire of machismo.
When I think of Pamela Mountbatten in New Delhi, first of all, her father was the number one person in British India. The level is so higher than Alan Wilson that I don't know where, a woman from this kind of family will definitely not be so obedient to the Dragoon sisters.
On this night, Isabella Pokina and Anna proved Alan Wilson's judgment with practical actions.
If it weren't for the fact that British India had more room to display his talents than the British-occupied zone, he would never have returned. But after all, the husband has to put his career first, so he can only temporarily abandon the shackles of the gentle township and enter a broader world.
"I'll be back in London in a few days." Touching Isabella Popina's smooth skin, Alan Wilson's tone was full of reluctance, "It's your sisters who don't reassure me the most. ”
You can't rest assured that these two bodies are safe, right? Although she thought so, Isabella Pokina said with a nostalgic earburn, "If you leave, Anna and I will have nothing to rely on, what if we are remembered?" ”
Alan Wilson swelled up when he said this, who let the two sisters have a lot of love on him, and he must have a good love before he can leave with confidence.
"In fact, in addition to buying these famous companies in your country, if you still have idle funds in your hands, you can invest them in the U.S. stock market." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "The economic strength of the United States will definitely expand further in recent years, and the American stock market will definitely reflect this." ”
The United States accounts for 40 percent of the world's total industrial production, and its population, national income, coal production, power generation, and steel production are far greater than those of the rest of the Central Powers combined.
In the post-war years, the U.S. economy would enter a state of unprecedented prosperity, and the major belligerents would be in ruins, with no country able to resist the import of American industrial goods, and the United States would owe a huge amount of debt.
Under these circumstances, the center of gravity of the U.S. economic development has gradually shifted to the west and south. The traditional industrial areas of the United States are in the Northeast, and with the rapid development of new industries after the war, the United States does not have the burden of traditional industries.
Petroleum is particularly suitable for the development of emerging industries such as aircraft manufacturing, petroleum industry and petrochemical industry.
Alan Wilson remembers that it was like a cannon party, so he reinvested American aid in the U.S. stock market, resolutely implemented the far-sighted view of building better than buying, and unsurprisingly annihilated the enemy by 100 million victories.
Sister Isabella can also do the same, since the Song family did it, the Herman family can't do it? Tobacco profits are so big, what's wrong with investing a little money in it to eat interest?
However, Alan Wilson would not dare to let civil servants involved in tobacco profits do this, there is a risk in the stock market, in case this black money belonging to British civil servants is targeted when it enters the US stock market, and finally cuts leeks?
Alan Wilson will not be in the civil service in the future, he can't afford so many invisible enemies.
"Are you sure?" If there is any other knowledge, Isabella Pokina can say two words, but this stock market, the Soviet Union did not have this thing at all, and I did not learn it when I was in school, which is really a smear.
When encountering the wrong professional knowledge, Isabella Pokina didn't dare to speak out, so she could only listen to Alan Wilson.
"Of course, the stock market is risky, and both short-term and long-term fluctuations exist, but with the current economic situation in the United States, the stock market will definitely be bullish in three to five years." Alan Wilson thought as he said, "So, before you go, I'll leave you a list of some companies, and you can just buy stocks according to the list." ”
In fact, even if he arrives in India, Alan Wilson will have to invest his recent gains in the US stock market himself. If it is not enough, I am ready to find Ali Khan to solve the difficulty, and it is a big deal to divide it fairly and justly.
As an imperial civil servant, Alan Wilson has always adhered to integrity in his heart and will never be tempted by Ali Khan's wealth. But if Ali Khan's money is used to do Ali Khan's business, that's another question.
Coca-Cola, DuPont, can be held for a long time to complement Alan Wilson's outstanding contribution to the development of the world.
"If you make money, you have to donate a little bit to improve the environment in Germany." After making a list of companies, Alan Wilson said earnestly, "Charity is not useless, how can it be wrong to spend money to buy fame?" The more you have this intangible fame, the smoother it will be when you do things. ”
"Anna and I both listen to you." Isabella Pokina put away the list of companies and replied like an obedient wife, giving great spiritual satisfaction.
