The feminist movement has recently achieved a remarkable achievement, making divorce, which was previously quite complicated and expensive, regulated by parliament, easier and cheaper. In the process, many feminist activists have joined the Labour Party (note that feminist activists are not necessarily women), because the Labour Party is the party that has worked hardest to support equal rights, and their next step is to emancipate women and let women have their own property rights after marriage.

However, a more pressing bill was Labour's plan to change traffic rules and introduce right-hand driving in the British Empire and its colonies, the most direct reason being that the right-hand habit of the big coachmen placed their natural center of gravity on the left, so that they could better see the oncoming carriage on the right side.

The BBC and major media have carried out quite extensive coverage of this bill and its principles, and even announced that the new model MINI of Oxford Motor Factory will use the left-hand steering wheel scheme, and all Smart cars in the UK will be replaced with such a scheme as soon as possible, which is in line with the United States and continental Europe. Since the British Parliament does not stipulate which direction the steering wheel of the car should be placed, Downing's private decision is a bit of a bully, and people can't do anything about him, after all, the Grand Duke's decision is selfless, and in order to replace the original Smart car, he has to spend a lot of money to modify the car.

In addition to the overwhelming publicity, Tangning has come up with a way to expand its influence, and will hold the Oxford Motor Show, mainly to exhibit MINI, a small amount of Smart, after all, there are still people who have not been in close contact with Smart.

The killer feature to expand its influence was to invite professional theatrical actors to act as beautiful car models, and the news spread that I don't know how many gentlemen were attracted to Oxfordshire to hunt for curiosities.

Now may be the last chance to reverse the UK's drive on the left-hand side, as there are still plenty of horse-drawn carriages, and it will be too expensive to do it again when cars become more popular in the future.

The British were not so strict about left-hand drives, for example, in 1756 they only made it mandatory to cross London Bridge on the left. The Highway Act of 1835 had been in force for just over 20 years, and only horse-drawn carriages were prescribed.

Some people think that the British Empire is the largest and most powerful in the world, and it is disgraceful to follow the rules of Europe and the United States, but the Labour Party members say that it is precisely because of the strength of the British Empire that we should make gentlemanly concessions. The Oxford Motor Works said it was willing to donate 100,000 pounds to set up the "Right Side Traffic Fund", later known as the **** fund, and as long as there were financial obstacles encountered in the conversion process, they could apply for a subsidy from the fund. At the same time, similar funds have been set up in India, Australia, New Zealand and other places, with varying amounts.

The rules of the road in Belgium have not been established, and after this turmoil, they followed the call of the Grand Duke and passed a new traffic law. Of course, India has no problem, this is the back garden of the Grand Duke, and Australia, under the encouragement of bankers such as Rawlinson, also tends to follow the Grand Duke's plan, and the bankers also donated some money to the **** fund.

Originally, there was nothing to do in Japan, but they liked to follow the Grand Duke and they quickly formulated the right-line law, which provided a small boost to the right-line doctrine of the Grand Duke. Yes, it seems that the whole world is **** now, conservative British gentlemen, you can't be so stubborn, right?

In order to win the favor of the British, Downing adopted a clever marketing strategy, claiming that in every country with a sales center, a MINI would be given to the head of state, and the most special thing for the United Kingdom was that not only the queen would give one, but the prime minister would also give one. Look, the Grand Duke is still the best for England, right? Just giving one more win the hearts of the British, it's too cost-effective.

It's funny to say, it is precisely because of receiving a MINI that British Prime Minister Palmerston decided to explicitly support **** traffic rules, which may be subconscious, because the steering wheel of MINI is on the left side, if you don't support driving on the right, don't blame others for your old man in a car accident......

In addition to knowing the reason and inducing it to benefit, you have to be intimidated, because most of the parliamentarians are rich people, and there are many rich people who buy MINI, and when they decide to buy it, they have to weigh it to support driving on the right, gradually, there are more and more parliamentarians in Congress who support the change of traffic rules, and seeing that a bill against the sky is about to pass, Downing is happy in his heart, what governs India, conquers Hawaii, and none of this makes him happy.

On September 20, the British army, led by Hessian churs, reoccupied the Mughal capital of Delhi, forced Bahadur Shah II to surrender and exiled him to Yangon, Burma, where the Mughal dynasty was ****** overthrown, symbolizing the East India Company's regain of control of the Indian subcontinent.

In the midst of the majesty of the uncrowned king of India, the Grand Duke of Windsor, the British House of Commons passed a new traffic bill, which basically laid down the same traffic rules around the world, and the old men in the House of Lords who bought a lot of cars certainly could not veto this bill.

The Grand Duchess was quite depressed, she had just learned to keep to the left in London, and now she had to lean back again.

Since the MINI had reached speeds of 60 kilometers per hour, faster than the trains of the time, a cabinet-level Ministry of Transport was also on the agenda, which would be responsible for setting traffic regulations, the most important of which was the introduction of the world's first mandatory driver's license law. In the future, new car buyers will first pass the test before they can hit the road.

In fact, whether it is Smart or MINI, it is a luxury product, a commodity enjoyed by aristocrats and big capitalists, and the small truck that made a low-key appearance at the Oxford Motor Show is the protagonist of the logistics revolution. It is made up of two 20-horse hydrogen fuel cells connected in series, which means that it has 40 horsepower and can tow several tons of cargo. You just have to imagine that there are 40 grass and mud horses galloping, and this is a transportation revolution.

The transportation revolution cannot happen immediately, because it is a sad day for the US economic crisis to spread to England, and there has been a financial crisis in England, and many investors have gone bankrupt, and many British companies have gone bankrupt. Yesterday, the capitalists who were still driving smart people and six people will have to live on debt.

At a time when the economy was sluggish and needed a stimulus for investment, Downing proposed to Palmerston that the highway should be overhauled to stimulate employment. Not only the UK, but also European investors have been affected, and Downing's all-European highway plan has been fully rolled out to France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Rwanda.

If you look at the map of Europe, you will see that Luxembourg is very much like the center of Europe, and it is just right for Downing to show his subjects the power of the Grand Duke, and he wants to build Luxembourg into a land transportation hub in Europe, with all highways leading to Luxembourg.

Downing's road construction plan to European countries is like this, if the other government is willing to pay more money, it is very good, and free roads will be built in the future, if the other party picks the door, then it is okay, the grand guild will recover the cost and a small profit within a certain period of time after the completion, and in the end it will still be free. Because it stimulates car sales, he is happy to invest.

He was still wondering how to build the highway as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The traditional method of building trunk roads is to mix gravel with asphalt and then flatten the road surface with a leveled weight. The construction of the asphalt road takes a month or two to dry, and it also needs God's cooperation. What Tang Ning thought about was a plan that would be rain or shine, and it would be laid on the same day, and the car would be able to pass in an instant. Maybe you also thought of it - with reinforced concrete, and prefabricated pavement.

The concrete is poured piece by piece in large factories, dried in covered buildings, and then towed to the construction site by trailer for laying. Due to the casting process, the pavement can be brought to a very high level, and it is slightly inclined from the middle to both sides so that the water can be drained from the pavement to both sides of the pavement, which is very laborious to use traditional construction methods. Moreover, such a process to build a road, just like the mortise and tenon process, can be combined with concave and convex, and then hinged with a strong steel cable, (through the hole in the middle of the pavement), its solidity can be completely comparable to the traditional pavement process, and the construction speed is extremely fast. It is also convenient to repair, and the steel cable can be cut off to replace the road surface entirely, and the torii of "the front road construction and maintenance please detour" only needs to be placed for an hour to get everything done.

The pavement of this process is produced 24 hours a day in the factory and can be built faster than expected. And its biggest feature is that it needs a huge amount of cement, which does not matter, the highway company can open its own cement plant, use industrial explosives to mine limestone, and cooperate with the construction of highway projects to ensure the supply of cement.

What does it mean that the people of Luxembourg have really earned it, and all European metropolises such as Brussels, Paris, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam will have motorways to Luxembourg City? There is no need to know what that means, but a large number of Luxembourgers who had gone to France, Germany, and Belgium have come back in search of job opportunities.

Luxembourgers really have the demeanor of the people of the Republic of Venice, and if they have milk, they are mothers, and the so-called dissatisfaction with the atheistic attitude of the Grand Duke is just that, look, isn't this all back? Such a commercialist attitude made Tang Ning very happy, and he was afraid that he would give you milk and scold his mother.

Luxembourg is a place where there are four wars, there is no strategic depth, and there is no danger to defend if you really want to fight, so Downing will not set up a military-related factory here, that is, let him become the hub of Europe, and then make some international organizations such as the headquarters of international natural disaster relief organizations that all countries will not covet. Because they do not have their own language, Luxembourgers are born fluent in several foreign languages, which is a natural advantage for the headquarters of international organizations. In fact, in addition to English-language broadcasting, the BBC's broadcast studios for foreign language radio channels are ready to move to Luxembourg in their entirety.
