Great Britain is a land of outstanding people, otherwise why would there be French filmmakers and German entrepreneurs here? Alan Wilson is a diplomat, and it is not too much to receive him.

Years make people old, and compared with the peak period of appearance, some distinguished guests may not be so magnificent. But this is not a reason to dislike. After getting along for a long time, there are always some feelings. It is okay to talk about parenting without talking about Fengyue.

After receiving a group of foreign friends, Alan Wilson found Maggins with a tired figure. He always wanted to leave some time for himself. Seeing that his old friend was tired, Makins grinned and said, "I sometimes I suspect that your salary is higher than others?"

"Why do you know that?" Alan Wilson licked his lips and asked back after unscrewing the thermos cup and taking a sip of wolfberries.

"Otherwise, you have no reason to work so hard." Maggins was puzzled, "You spend half of the year abroad, right? You seem to be busy all the time, which cannot be explained by hard work."

"One has to pay the price for the choice." Alan Wilson said something endlessly, and Maggins nodded. He thought Alan Wilson was talking about diplomatic work.

In fact, it is not at all. Alan Wilson said that when he was young and strong, he wanted to test drive a luxury car when he saw a luxury car.

It is not regrettable even today, the body is a little tired, but fortunately, the spiritual joy can dilute the physical fatigue. Anyway, these are classic models, and he is not at a loss.

Alan Wilson could blame his fatigue on the fact that he was not acclimated to the climate in Africa, so he fooled around with this topic and asked Maggins what is interesting about his current job.

The Ministry of the Interior is also one of the three traditionally high-ranking ministries. Compared with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior handles a variety of things.

"The domestic shipbuilding industry seems to have encountered some bottlenecks." Maggins thought for a while and shrugged.

"Is that so?" Alan Wilson nodded with his face crossed. He didn't expect that the world's largest shipbuilding power would be in trouble so soon? That's right, if civilian shipbuilding is included, the British shipbuilding industry is stronger than the United States.

In half of the years since the post-war period, the total tonnage of British shipbuilding has surpassed that of the United States, while the other half of the years have lagged behind the United States.

Britain's unique geographical location and water conservancy conditions make ships play an important role in people's production and life, which in turn leads to the rise of the shipbuilding industry. The rise of the British shipbuilding industry is related to the political environment in the UK. On the one hand, it is reflected in the government's strong support for warship construction, which has driven the development of shipbuilding technology and scale.

The free trade policy of the United Kingdom has stimulated the prominent role of ships as carriers in international competition, thereby promoting the development of the shipbuilding industry.

In addition, the development of the British shipbuilding industry has its own industrial advantages, and it is in a leading position in ship scale, ship power, construction specialization, organizational form and customer relationship.

During the two world wars, Britain's dominance was challenged by other countries. Although it was surpassed by other countries in one aspect, it still maintained its position as the world's largest shipbuilding country in general.

In fact, the shipbuilding industry was the first thing Britain recovered after the war. It stepped on the American Liberty Ship and surpassed the United States in terms of launching tonnage all the year round. According to history, it should be the Suez Canal War, which caused the first difficulty for the British shipbuilding industry.

But the fundamental reason is that the United Kingdom no longer invests in the Royal Navy, resulting in the shipbuilding industry no longer having military orders to maintain. On the contrary, although the United States has also begun to see the decline of civilian shipbuilding, it has been using military orders to keep the US shipbuilding industry alive.

The U.S. approach is not without sequelae, that is, the unit price of U.S. warships in later generations is already sky-high.

Alan Wilson originally thought that the normal renewal of the Royal Navy would be good for the shipbuilding industry, but now it seems that the prosperity has been maintained for a few more years, and the British shipbuilding industry has still hit the ceiling.

"You're not thinking about industrial transfer, are you?" Maggins said directly when he saw his old friend's pensive look, "I'll take you to a place."

"No, where?" Alan Wilson was interrupted, and said something that didn't make sense.

"You will know when you arrive." Maggins smiled, and directly dragged Alan Wilson into the car. The destination of the two was the last textile factory in the UK, and it was also a dye factory. The latter is more important, otherwise it is simple It is estimated that the textile factory has also been closed now.

The distance is not far or near, but it is already outside the scope of London. Before entering, you can hear the dehydration sound of the centrifuge almost groaning all over the hall. In the muscles and bones of the workers on the machine, the colorful cloth fluttering like a flag on the proximity device was violently bumped.

The two appeared in a factory building. Here are some small machines for printing and dyeing black cloth for men's clothing.

The daylight came in through thousands of windows, painting the black mist and workers in this factory with a light green.

The workers stood, arm in arm, like stone pillars, motionless, staring at the machine. When thousands of meters of fabric pass through here, they can be evenly dyed with foamy black paint sprayed from the machine.

The walls were shaking and the factory was working with all its energy. A lift installed against the wall brings the lobby into direct communication with the four floors above it.

The low rumble of the machines echoed in the hall. The elevator either takes one batch of cars, goods and people up to another floor, or unloads another batch of people and goods down the hall.

"Do you have any feelings?" Makins asked Alan Wilson in a low voice, asking him to comment on the scene in front of him.

"I don't feel much. Backward industries should have been eliminated."

Alan Wilson spoke in a nonchalant manner, but because of the special environment here, if he does not want to be beaten, he must control the volume of his voice, "There is no need to keep a strong industry without profits, or we must innovate to improve production efficiency. But the textile industry is quite old, if there is a way to innovate, it will not be where it is today."

In order to prevent accidents, it is necessary to keep steelmaking and machinery manufacturing, the textile industry? What to keep it for, 800 million shirts for a Boeing?

The United Kingdom has the Comet airliner, so there is absolutely no need to do this. As long as no outrageous mistakes are made, even if Boeing can gain the upper hand in the future, don't think too much in a few decades.

"The government attaches great importance to the unemployment rate. It is not impossible for the textile industry to do this, but if the shipbuilding industry does this, you need to know what the status of the shipbuilding industry is in the UK." Makins said with a wry smile, "I have nothing else The meaning is simply to show you the textile industry that is about to disappear from the UK."

"Since we're here, it's good to look at the ashes of the times." Alan Wilson glanced sideways at his old friend, and said calmly, "Nothing in the world is eternal, and everything cannot go against the trend. "

"Aren't you the most willing to be in adversity?" Makins commented with a chuckle, "With a permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like you, I don't think the foreign minister has much work."

"Without me, the minister has no job, and the prime minister likes to direct diplomatic work." Alan Wilson is not targeting Macmillan, which is just an obvious fact. Eden and Nehru were just short of each other. They didn't take over the position of foreign minister and let Macmillan stand aside completely.

Otherwise, how could Alan Wilson propose that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commonwealth Affairs merge, and why is Macmillan so concerned?

It is true that there is no room for him in diplomacy, so he thought about changing the track and starting again. The prime minister likes to display his talents on the diplomatic stage. As the foreign minister, he is fine to contact the Commonwealth countries, right?

Two senior Whitehall officials were in the fuel workshop to experience the treatment of leading inspection work. Of course, this company is mainly to give Makins face, and he, the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, does not have such a big face.

The cloudy daylight streaming in through the very dirty window-panes, which were covered with steam, made the machines and the faces of the people more distinct. In the hall, under the pale green daylight, one could see long strips of red vapor floating back and forth, as if they had sprinkled a layer of dust on the halo of the gas lamp.

Both man and machine seemed half-awake, like phantoms controlled by the terrible force of motion, like bunches of **** and heaps of dust thrown together and thrown into the In the vortex that is constantly churning and roaring.

Alan Wilson is covering his nose~lightnovelpub.net~ He thinks that people working in this environment for a long time will definitely affect their health, and the consequences are much more serious than when he is free to take people on a rocket. This factory doesn’t even keep it If necessary, it should be transferred out.

At No. 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Eden listened to Macmillan's words, and fell into deep thinking. As the prime minister, did he interfere too much in foreign affairs? Was Macmillan dissatisfied with this and proposed the merger of departments?

However, since Duncan's death, the Conservative Party has indeed lacked a leader of a major force. Will directly agreeing to Macmillan destroy the balance within the party?

To tell you the truth! At this moment, Aiden is considering whether Macmillan is reliable. Any thoughts on peeking at the artifact.

In the United Kingdom, elections are based on party selection, and the leader of the party automatically becomes the prime minister. It is not unimaginable that the incumbent prime minister will be pulled down because of internal divisions, which is different from the United States.

"Harold, Duncan has not left for a long time. If we merge the Commonwealth Affairs Department now, there may be some problems." Aiden did not directly agree, "We are thinking about this matter when the Six-Party Talks has a result. ? You always have to think about what Churchill thinks, don't you?"
