"You are the most confident man I've ever seen. Although I don't know where this confidence comes from, it's really lovely." Pamela Mountbatten put her arms around her husband's neck. Going to take a rocket.

Alan Wilson's trip is to visit the Commonwealth of Nations countries, colluding with each other, er, reviewing the traditional friendship. But the main thing is to come and see the wife and children being a good father, husband, and brother-in-law...

Out of love for the royal family, he wondered if Princess Margaret's life was too much, anyway, he personally didn't think it was too much.

To persuade Australia and the United Kingdom to take a consistent position, the regional commissioner of Western Australia will convey the latest progress, and Alan Wilson will meet with the other party at the Mountbatten Building.

"Executive Deputy Chief, there is a traffic jam on the road, and I am not familiar with the road conditions to the Mountbatten Building, so I'm sorry." Ekberg was sweating on his forehead, obviously feeling uneasy about making his immediate boss wait.

Alan Wilson made a grimace at his son, turned his head and nodded gently and asked, "What car is Ekberg driving?"

"Uh, it's a Holden car." Ekberg froze for a moment, not knowing why he faced this question.

Holden Motors is the pride of Oceania's auto industry. In 1948, the first self-produced car "48215" on the Australian mainland was driven out of Holden's factory. Holden's logo is a red round relief of a lion rolling a ball. Holden is famous for forging powerful engines, so the red lion is more symbolic.

Australian cars are similar to American cars in that they are large-displacement oil tigers, which are also closely related to the living environment.

But as a British commissioner, driving an Australian car, that's it?

"The guests here are all Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce." Alan Wilson lit a cigar and threw the rest at Eckberg. "You're a Holden, no wonder you get stuck in traffic."

"Okay, you don't have to say a few words." Pamela Mountbatten understood, put down her youngest son and said, "I will give Commissioner Eckberg's car to me. Originally, Luofu was more suitable, but last year Luofu launched a new car. The car model has gained a reputation, and it is too luxurious to be a civil servant's car, so I think it is more appropriate to choose a Jaguar as a means of transportation for the commissioner."

"Our auto industry has problems. Every brand is attacking high-end. There are not many mid-end models, let alone low-end cars. Without a huge volume of models, the British auto industry is very dangerous. How much can we sell for high-end products? What about it?" Alan Wilson said angrily, "If the Imperial Preference System is overthrown, with the strong exchange rate of the British pound, I can't even imagine what kind of sky-high price it will sell for when it is exported."

Without enough models, the British auto industry will definitely not be able to beat Japan and Germany. The reason why the sales of Japanese cars in later generations can overwhelm German cars is also because Honda and Toyota have overwhelmed Germany in the number of models.

In any country, including Japan, the German Big Three can crush Toyota and Honda's high-end models. Lexus has insufficient production capacity. Listen to the Japanese who lie about cost performance. Playing hunger marketing is not an opponent of the German Big Three.

German cars are Japanese cars with stable voltage in the mid-to-high end, and the high-end cars of German cars are lower than Land Rover Jaguar here in the UK, which is very embarrassing. German cars are only higher-end than Japanese cars. Having been left behind by Japan, what will happen to the car brands in the UK whose positioning is similar to that of Porsche?

However, the success of Japanese cars is not without hidden dangers. At its peak, Japan was also a country where a hundred flowers bloomed, and many industries were in a leading position, at least before the Plaza Accord.

This is not the case in Japan, which was bled by the Plaza Accord. In Japan, which went downhill in the previous life, the entire national economy has already depended on the automobile industry for 30%. That is to say, whoever wants to defeat Japan in the automobile industry, Japan, which has lost automobiles and derived materials, parts, and painting industries, will have a sharp drop in per capita income.

Ekberg, who was happy to mention the new car, made a solemn promise with gratitude, "I will try my best to make Australia stand on the side of the United Kingdom. In fact, if it is not against the United States, the Australians are still very brave."

"As much as possible may not be enough. Of course, I don't know the specific situation, but I hope you can do it." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Ike, in fact, it is not bad for you to be a regional commissioner. The Mountbatten Group is here. Can you Give you a lot of convenience."

A slap in the face to a sweet date. What Alan Wilson said is actually not true. There are actually many headquarters of the Mountbatten Group. If you compare it forcibly, it is very similar to the five-capital system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Asian headquarters are in Malaya, East Malaysia Kuching in Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur in West Malaysia each have a headquarters.

The African headquarters is in Northern Rhodesia, the North American headquarters is registered in Newfoundland, but the office is in Montreal, Canada. The headquarters of the Middle East is in Dubai, and of course London, the capital of the United Kingdom, cannot be forgotten.

"Executive Deputy Minister, you wait for my good news, I will arrange a meeting with Australia." Ekberg showed reliability.

Alan Wilson nodded, watched the other party leave, and then picked up the thermos by himself, "Just take this opportunity to see if Australia treats the UK as before."

"Where are you going?" Pamela Mountbatten asked softly, "Why doesn't McMillan come out by himself."

"Can a foreign minister do such a small thing? Jogging around the earth in parallel? Which minister would do this kind of thing." Alan Wilson sighed, "It's not like we are laying around to get everything done, and people come forward to harvest labor fruit."

"Actually, what I want to ask is, are you sure about the diplomatic dispute with the United States this time?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband with burning eyes, obviously wanting a correct answer.

"No. But sometimes victory is failure, and failure is victory. If results can be achieved in Australia, I will visit the United States after visiting New Zealand and Canada. I will persuade the United States and the United Kingdom to adopt a common position and sanction German biopharmaceutical companies." Alan Wilson went around and told his wife what he thought.

"The United States will not agree. The more you go, the greater the chance of failure." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head and said, "I don't know why you are entangled in this matter, to do something that is doomed to fail."

"Failure is victory, victory is failure, my dear, you must have a long-term vision, and you can even go beyond." Alan Wilson smiled and did not answer. On behalf of the United Kingdom, he will ask the United States to look at the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and stand on the side of the United Kingdom to impose sanctions on Germany .

It's okay not to mention this matter, and the United States will give the green light for German drugs to enter the American market.

"If you have time, let's pay attention to the things on the car." Alan Wilson saw his youngest son in a daze, and picked up his wife on his lap with his backhand. Manufacturing and the automobile industry are facing a very dangerous situation. Labor costs must be reduced, and the children who came to Malaya have grown up and can do some technical work. It is good to keep high-end brands in the local area and divide labor in this way cooperate."

The profit of traditional manufacturing industry is not high, and the profit of 5% in labor-intensive industries is not bad. The profit of some high-end industries is less than 10%. It is a good thing to divert the British auto industry. It is also good for the UK to select some auto brands to increase their volume.

There is also a simple way to contain the big manufacturing countries. High-end manufacturing is suppressed, and the origin of raw materials with the lowest cost must be controlled.

It is enough to let the opponents turn around the profit of 5% to 10% in the middle and low end, and it is enough to deal with the general manufacturing power.

The shipbuilding capacity of the three East Asian countries in later generations is terrifying, right? Together, it is not as profitable as the French LNG carrier patent holder company.

The cost of each 170,000-cubic LNG ship is about 200 million U.S. dollars. GTT’s patent licensing fee is not based on its own research and development costs, but directly charges 5% of the cost of each ship as the patent licensing fee. That's about $10 million.

The profit of manufacturing LNG ships is about 5% to 7%. In a better situation, it can still leave 2% of profits for East Asian shipbuilding companies~lightnovelpub.net~So don’t worry about the automobile industry Transferring to Malaya will expand the colony, the raw material market will fluctuate a little, and the patent barrier is enough to suppress the manufacturing industry in Malaya, so there is no need for the simple and crude method of garrisoning troops.

Not to mention Malaya, even the Soviet Union with terrible production capacity, Alan Wilson is not afraid. With the profits of the Soviet industry, if the Soviet Union had stock trading, it is estimated that the Soviet Union's stock king is vodka, which is the same reason that the liquor industry is sought after .

"I'm waiting for Marina to give me an offer to see how much Land Rover is willing to sell." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, then lowered her voice, "Honey, I'm recovered now."

"It's really good news." Alan Wilson, who received the signal from the rocket, said in a tone of instant understanding.

At the meeting arranged by Ekberg, Alan Wilson explained the current British foreign policy. Regarding Australia’s concerns about the diplomatic friction between the United Kingdom and the United States, he said that he did not deny that there was a certain degree of diplomatic friction, but the main reason is the current hostility Regarding Germany and Iran, don't forget to label Germany and Iran and say something about the ambitions of the Aryans.

As for the deterioration of relations with the United States, Alan Wilson flatly denied it, saying that there was no conflict between the United Kingdom and the United States, and the last stop of his trip this time was to go to Washington.

In the end, considering the emotion that blood is thicker than water, Australia officially announced before Alan Wilson left that it would follow up on the decision to sanction the German biopharmaceutical field and issue a ban on German biopharmaceuticals. Three days later, New Zealand announced follow-up, and before Alan Wilson arrived in Washington, Canada also announced follow-up sanctions.

"At least for now, the Commonwealth still has some effect." Alan Wilson walked out of the airport with a smile on his face, mentally prepared to be disheartened in the United States.
