British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 653: Show national prestige

Although Britain was in mourning at the beginning of 1952, expectations for the crown prince also followed.

There is absolutely no problem with the image of Crown Prince Elizabeth, and in fact the two sisters who look alike are no problem.

Many British citizens hope that the crown prince Elizabeth, who has not yet ascended the throne, can be compared with Elizabeth I.

Queen Elizabeth I was at least one of, if not the greatest female ruler in history.

Although the era named after her is only a few decades, her influence goes far beyond those decades.

In effect, she made England great again, and she fashioned new qualities of English people—and those new qualities would come into play in empire-building.

"Is there any news from the cabinet!" Pamela Mountbatten was also very concerned about when the crown prince would be able to ascend the throne, and asked if her husband had made any progress.

"Not yet, Pamela is a big deal." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "I think the cabinet is considering, taking into account the idea of ​​​​traditional and new-age citizens, preparing for a coronation ceremony. The time may not be so fast. In terms of pomp, the role of the Commonwealth countries must also be considered."

There won't even be a coronation this year, as Alan Wilson remembers the 1953 Royal Navy parade, which was held to celebrate Elizabeth's accession to the throne. It is only 1952, which means that the crown prince will not even think about ascending the throne this year.

During this time period, the feelings of the Commonwealth countries for the United Kingdom are still there, and the Cabinet will also consider the feelings of these Commonwealth countries. After all, except for the monarch, the UK has nothing else to pretend to be in front of countries like Canada and Australia.

This is not a trivial matter, the King of England is also equivalent to the Pope of the Anglican Church.

Alan Wilson is obviously more concerned about what happens this year than what may only happen next year, such as the ongoing Oslo Winter Olympics.

Now the Winter Olympics are out of the question, but the following Helsinki Olympics can be planned.

"Honey, don't you issue the Commonwealth lottery in Newfoundland? Do you want to operate the sports lottery?" Alan Wilson glanced at his wife and suggested, "guessing the medal table or something, maybe it can be used for your Newfoundland lottery. Finland generates revenue."

"Is this still possible?" Pamela Mountbatten looked curious, as if feeling her husband's treasure, and waved to her again, "Sports and can be related to lottery tickets?"

"Of course, like the Olympics World Cup, and some intercontinental events. But it's a matter of magnification." Alan Wilson is not a gambler, but he also has some related knowledge accumulation.

Sometimes buying a lottery ticket doesn’t necessarily mean you have to gain something, and it’s also important to witness classic events. The most impressive match in his mind was Germany 7-1 Brazil. Although he only bought two to zero that day, it was far from the final result. But he was still very happy that day.

"It will really work? It doesn't sound like I'm sure. Will anyone like it?" Although Pamela Mountbatten was not a scholar, but a simple thought, she felt that the chances were not high. If it were her, he would definitely not play.

"Dear, you underestimated the temptation of gambling." Alan Wilson shook his head. Gambling is like a big filter to human nature, but it is not so easy to quit. Otherwise, stop gambling, brother, and you won't sigh.

"Then I'll give it a try, or do I want to do it in Newfoundland? Yes, now only the places you've managed are the most professional in doing this kind of business." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband and said meaningfully, "You do it for you. Managed Newfoundland has found a particularly lucrative industry, not yet one."

"If we didn't do this, Newfoundland and Canada would have merged long ago." Allen Wilson said.

He is not indifferent to the places that he managed in the past, and small places are prone to explosive development. From the current point of view, Newfoundland citizens are no worse than the United States in terms of income. This is a huge improvement.

You must know that in 1948, Newfoundland was still in debt, which was worse than the British economy back then. Even the UK wants to actively push for the merger of Newfoundland and Canada.

Now Newfoundland's income has completely caught up with the United States, and Newfoundlanders of the same income have paid far less hard than Americans, and they have the temperament of standing and earning money.

Now that the Newfoundlanders have tasted the sweetness, you are unwilling to let Newfoundland merge with the Newfoundlanders now. After Allen Wilson's top resource country configuration, plus the brainwashing of offshore finance. Newfoundlanders think it's good to be a royal territory. Can they be independent and have their current income?

If it continues like this, in a few years, Newfoundlanders will not look up to Canada and the United States. Non-discrimination is good.

Alan Wilson focused his energy on the Helsinki Olympics and went to Whitehall to discuss with Norman Brooke. Lotteries and the Olympics are definitely a thing, especially now that he wants to include athletes from the colonies. It is foreseeable that this year's Olympic Games will have a lot of upsets.

More upset projects will also make it easier to cut leeks in Newfoundland, so the two things are closely related.

The sports lottery for North America is about the well-being of Newfoundland citizens. As a former chief executive, it is completely understandable that he worked for the welfare of Newfoundlanders.

Whenever the World Cup starts, in addition to the exciting games, I don’t know if you have any impressions. It also brought a wave of football lottery buying on Weibo and WeChat. In the circle of friends, all kinds of postings were bought yesterday. Which team, how many won today, still remember when Germany brutally killed Brazil, the next day on Weibo was full of people who bought Brazil yesterday, and today they all took to the rooftops and so on.

Although the Olympics and the World Cup are different, the truth is the same. Newfoundland, the current home base of the Commonwealth Lottery, should have a place in this Olympics to take care of the needs of North Americans.

It's good to lose, and the more you lose, the more you will be able to turn the book. For North America, which is currently the most dynamic in the world, this is not a problem.

"Let colonial athletes participate?" Norman Brooke shook his head slightly with surprise, "I thought you came here for something important. But it's not easy. At present, citizens of our country may not have Be prepared to see so many faces of other races."

"It's not to let them come to the mainland, but to go directly to Helsinki." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, "If this is unacceptable? I have reason to believe that British citizens are racially discriminated against."

For the sake of the smooth cutting of leeks this time and the well-being of Newfoundland citizens, Alan Wilson didn't care what the local citizens had in mind, so he snapped the hat of direct racial discrimination.

The biggest advantage of this kind of hat is that although most people have this in their hearts, no one will admit that they are racially discriminated against. Otherwise, why are the white leftists in the future so arrogant? It's just that this unrecognized hat will make opponents speechless.

When he heard the racial discrimination, Norman Brooke was helpless, and said in another way, "Alan, you are a reliable person, I never thought so."

"Of course, esteemed sergeant. I'm more reliable than anyone." Alan Wilson skipped the mistake on the Dragoon sisters. Anyway, he had been checked by MI6 at the beginning, and it was definitely not his own bad luck when something went wrong. .

"So you should state your true purpose." Norman Brooke didn't know the blemish on Alan Wilson, but just emphasized the matter at hand, why the athletes of the colony must participate.

"I have asked these days that local athletes don't seem to regard the Olympics as a major stage, but only as a party. But I believe that the post-war Olympics will definitely be valued by the United States and the Soviet Union. The two countries will definitely Think of this Olympics as a stage to demonstrate to the other side. If Britain's performance in the Olympics is too poor, and the United States and the Soviet Union attach so much importance to it, doesn't it mean that Britain is classified as one of the others?"

"If it shows national prestige, it is actually an option with little investment in sports. At least it is much smaller than the current Berlin airlift, and the cost is small and the effect is quick."

Alan Wilson gave his reasons. It's not that the UK has never done this kind of thing, but other people don't know that it was the London Olympics decades later. Eat the "bonus", and instead put forward an ambitious plan to win the medal.

It's just that at the time of the London Olympics, the sun had been setting in the UK for many years before I remembered using the Olympics to show its national prestige. Alan Wilson felt that if he wanted to show his national prestige, he should take advantage of the present.

"Alan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will pay attention to this matter through the chairman of the sports association." Norman Brook was also persuaded by Alan Wilson's so-called small investment and quick results, and a sense of presence, but still He asked, "Did you discuss it?"

The so-called you are referring to the overseas commissioner, Alan Wilson nodded, "We are all selfless, all for the interests of the British Empire, Sir, you know, we are all reliable people."

"Whitehall has always been consistent in the views of overseas civil servants, and gentlemen are of course reliable people." Norman Brooke said calmly, "I wonder if at the Kuala Lumpur meeting at the end of last year, did you give Enough promise?"

Norman Brooke wants to beat Alan Wilson. It is okay for overseas commissioners to make profits, but it is best not to have the idea of ​​setting up another Whitehall. The authority of the imperial civil servants is only one, that is, the cabinet secretary.

Alan Wilson immediately stated that he had no intention of doing so, that he had the same respect for Whitehall as before, and had been looking forward to returning to work in Whitehall one day.

"Very well, I will talk to the sports department. You can wait patiently with the commissioners of the other colonies." Norman Brooke agreed with Alan Wilson's statement of respect for authority, while also expressing his willingness to help.
