British Civil Servant

Chapter 236: drought warning

Pamela in a state of love has a remarkable feature. She has absolutely no doubts about any word of Ellen Wilson, even a punctuation mark. I understand, but the instructions on the telegram are perfectly presented through the words of civil servants.

As a civil servant, Alan Wilson first needs to study people's hearts. He has imagined several reactions of de Havilland and how to deal with them. At present, Alan Wilson may still seem immature when dealing with some old fritters in the officialdom, but when dealing with a person who engages in technology engineer, it's not a problem.

The meeting between Pamela Mountbatten and de Havilland was like being remotely directed by Alan Wilson. Indecisive, civil servants talk and change the subject.

The sketch of the Boeing passenger plane in Pamela's hand is different from the jet plane that de Havilland has already begun to design. In de Havilland's design, the turbine engine is installed in the wing close to the The position of the fuselage, this layout comes from the layout experience of the piston engine, can keep the aerodynamic components of the wing, fuselage, and tail succinct.

Although the reliability of early turbojet engines was greatly improved compared to piston engines, due to the metallurgical technology at that time, its reliability was not as high as later. Debris from the failure of high-speed rotating parts of a turbojet engine can damage the structure of the aircraft, as well as throw the aircraft off balance and cause vibrations, which can be enough to make the aircraft catastrophic.

Engines buried in the wings make maintenance more difficult. It was later considered a failed design.

"In the application of new technologies, the most important thing is safety. Confidence is invisible and intangible, but once an accident occurs, it will be too late to improve. In this era, the technologies of many powerful countries are comparable, how to ensure efficiency Paying equal attention to safety is a very important thing." Pamela Mountbatten's words are very clear inside and outside the words, especially reliability...

In Alan Wilson's telegram, the metal fatigue problem was mentioned, and this problem hit the Comet at a critical moment, causing Boeing to catch up, causing another example of my British getting up early and catching a late episode.

For example, the Comet passenger plane originally used square portholes. The passenger plane using pressurized cabins took off and landed many times, and there would be cracks caused by metal fatigue at the corners of the square portholes. Later, passenger plane portholes were rounded or designed with large rounded corners to reduce stress concentration and improve metal fatigue strength.

All of this was kept in mind by Pamela Mountbatten, and was utterly shameless at De Havilland. But the most crucial reason is that Pamela's identity played a big role.

No one knows the name of General Mountbatten. De Havilland himself was knighted for his merits, and he is now part of the aristocratic circle, but his identity is too far from General Mountbatten.

In addition to his identity, what de Havilland valued was Mountbatten's authority because of his identity. De Havilland was actually an arms company. By absorbing German rocket technology, it was promoting the British rocket project.

The biggest market for arms is undoubtedly the army, and General Mountbatten is a great nobleman and has become a general in the army. As Mountbatten's daughter, Pamela is of course treated differently.

If someone else came to his company and told de Havilland to bring money into the group, he would have been expelled long ago. But General Mountbatten's daughter is different. Some gossip points out that General Mountbatten's death is a popular candidate for the next Governor of British India.

For reasons such as these, de Havilland did not reject Pamela Mountbatten's suggestion, and even heard that Pamela's sister was planning a wedding, and expressed her willingness to attend the wedding. At the same time, she also wanted to meet some powerful people.

A pure second-generation Quan, de Havilland can fool the other party, but if this second-generation Quan shows his ability, that is another problem.

Soon Pamela told the micromanipulation master thousands of miles away through a telegram.

The call back is also very fast. The multi-dimensional and cross-domain compliments from her fiance make Pamela as sweet as eating honey. She wants to wait until her sister's wedding and follow her father to take office.

The Governor's Office of British India, Alan Wilson, who was reading the telegrams of the various provinces, picked up the phone and let Edel in the secretary's office come in, and said, "Edel, in the name of the Governor's Office, issued a drought warning to the whole of India, with non-compulsory advice. The tone reminds the provinces and states, as well as the two parties of the Congress Party and the Muslim League, to pay attention to the signs of drought this year.

"Okay, I understand, assistant." Edel nodded and said, "Judging from the signs of drought, what is the approximate range?"

"Edel, the future is unpredictable. To be honest, I don't know either." Alan Wilson shrugged. "It might rain in two days. Who knows how Mother Earth arranges this year."

The British India Governor's Office has officially issued a warning, indicating that this year's rainy season has been delayed by ten days, and there is a possibility of famine in the subcontinent. Representatives of all parties discussed countermeasures and remained vigilant about the current situation.

The rainy season was delayed by ten days, which didn't seem to be a big problem, but in the busy farming season, these ten days were fatal. Once the rainfall shortage reaches a certain level, the disaster will expand exponentially with each passing day.

What did a pond full of green algae look like the day before? The answer is that half of the water surface of this pond is covered with green algae, and after this day, the entire pond will be covered with green algae.

It’s like the change in temperature. The temperature of minus ten degrees seems to be very low, but it is actually completely within the tolerance range of the human body. After minus twenty degrees, the temperature drops by one degree, which can make a person feel the world. Full of new insights.

Alan Wilson officially issued a drought warning for the subcontinent from the Governor's Palace with a delay of about ten days in the rainy season in previous years. This can also be regarded as breaking a precedent, showing a completely different attitude from when the Great Bengal Famine occurred a few years ago.

After the announcement of the drought warning issued by the Governor's Office of British India, the chief executives of the provinces responded immediately. In the name of the provincial chief executives, they issued drought warnings and work instructions for drought relief in their own provinces.

The hard-hearted tone is limited to the announcement. As for the Muslim League and the Congress Party, it is negotiated, and there is absolutely no force.

In this way, if the drought resistance fails, you can shirk the responsibility. It is not that the Governor's Office has not issued an early warning, but that the local snakes in the two subcontinents are really not cooperating, delaying the disaster relief work of the Governor's Office.

So far, some places have experienced water shortages if the rainy season comes a month later. This year's subcontinent is destined to be difficult.

Regarding the current biggest drought relief work at the Governor's Palace, it was approved by Sir Barron to make the Governor's Palace brightly lit at night, indicating that the Governor's Palace is in a busy working state.

Day by day, on the fifth day since the first drought warning was issued, the Governor's Office once again issued an announcement to combat the drought in the subcontinent. This time, the wording has been much stricter.

The wording is also more serious, and the style of painting has changed almost overnight, and some newspapers have also begun to remind residents of some cities in Mumbai, Calcutta and Bangalore that drought may be inevitable. In response to the occurrence of a great famine, the Governor's Palace may Before taking some measures, I hope that the general public will not panic and believe in the seriousness of the Governor's Office.

This announcement, hoping that the general public will not panic, has an extremely obvious effect. Citizens who were not very panicked at first were completely panicked because of this official announcement, and they flocked to the grain stores. It became the most crowded place, rumors began to spread, and people feared a repeat of the Great Bengal Famine.

Who made the Governor-General's House advocate inaction to govern when there was a famine over the years? www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time, I suddenly found my conscience. I have been non-violent and uncooperative with the Indians. Instead, I started to panic.

It was able to remind the British people that the drought this time must not be underestimated. This panic buying has caused food prices in major cities to rise to varying degrees.

But in fact, the current drought is only affecting a small part of the region, far from serious.

As for the actions of the Governor's Office and the provinces, they are still focused on issuing early warning announcements, and there is no substantial drought relief action. Invariably, many chief executives have a large amount of food in reserve.

"Not surprisingly, from what we know so far, the impact on Punjab is minimal. It is hard to imagine that a place with little precipitation and a dry climate has an unusually stable climate and becomes the granary of the subcontinent." Alan Wilson held Punjab The province's telegram reported, "However, the majority of Punjab residents are pacifists, followed by Sikhs, and not many Hindus. The Congress party has no influence on the granary of the subcontinent."

"In that case, if this drought has affected a large area, it will be difficult for Hindus to deal with it." Sir Barron frowned helplessly, "If it is really because of religious reasons that the number of deaths has increased?"

"Oh, will it?" Alan Wilson said with an unbelievable smile. "Won't this make several religions enmity? I believe that the leaders of all parties should take the overall situation into consideration."

"Maybe maybe not." Sir Barron said indifferently, "It should be reminded, we have already reminded that when dealing with this drought, we did not hide anything, and even took the initiative to give guidance. Next, we will It also calls for unity among all denominations."
