British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1074: Shipbuilding Threat

Only three days later, Alan Wilson saw the latest French solution on the TV of Woodpecker Films, and then overturned his judgment three days ago, and gently spit out a word, "Shameless..."

A solution to the Algerian problem was broadcast on TV. Simply put, since 40% of the people want independence, Paris is considering a plan to divide the north and the south, aiming to solve the problem without leaving any future troubles. achieve a win-win outcome.

It seems to be no problem, but it is suspected of plagiarizing the British policy on colonies, but this is not the reason why he scolded the French for being shameless, there are other reasons.

"What's the matter?" Ingrid Bergman put on her coat and sat next to the man and asked, "Isn't it possible to talk? The French can give the locals a way out when the public opinion is overwhelming. In my opinion The understanding of France is really good.”

"Ingrid, haven't you been to Africa? Have you seen the situation along the way?" Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and grabbed Ingrid Bergman's hand and asked.

"I have the habit of falling asleep on the plane." Ingrid Bergman was a little embarrassed, but still didn't know the meaning of this question.

It is indeed too much to expect a female star to have knowledge of geography, and it is considered that ordinary French people have this level of knowledge.

"North and South? France wants the coast and gives the interior to the Algerians?" Alan Wilson explained with a sneer, "South of the Taylor Atlas Mountains is the Sahara Desert, which occupies 80% of the entire Algeria Five, if France cuts off this part and gives it to the Algerians, it will be the greatest human tragedy in history."

If the division of the North and the South were to be divided in this way, let’s call this landlocked country Algeria for the time being. The living conditions of this Algeria will instantly leave Chad and Niger behind. Chad has Lake Chad, and Niger has the water source of the upper reaches of the Niger River.

This Algeria really has nothing but yellow sand, and there are no perennial rivers, only some seasonal rivers.

France has created several countries that are destined to be tragic in the demarcation of independent countries in French Africa.

If Algeria is so independent, Mali and Chad are nothing to worry about, and Algeria is the biggest tragedy.

Only then did Ingrid Bergman know the key point, "Will the French support it?"

"If the French are at your level of geography, they won't support it. Maybe they think that France has suffered a disadvantage. Similarly, the Algerians will not support them. They are locals, and of course they know that the place left by France is for them. A death place."

As soon as the words fell, Ingrid Bergman pinched the man's weakness, "I have been with you for so many years, and I have done my best. Is that what you call me?"

"I was wrong, but you should consider whether the war will affect the mainland of France and see if there is any business to do." Hearing this plan, Alan Wilson can basically confirm that the partition of the North and the South is a waste case.

If Algerians are not satisfied with the result of the referendum, they will also not accept this dead-end solution. Then the military operations should not be stopped yet.

This so-called north-south partition is a big internal propaganda of the Charles de Gaulle government, and it has already done it to express its sincerity to French citizens. If the Algerians objected, the responsibility for continuing the war was not on France's side.

The wishful thinking was sound, and the French took all the benefits, and they also shifted the responsibility for the war to the colonies.

"How do I feel? You don't seem to be worried." Ingrid Bergman murmured in a low voice. Alan Wilson didn't take such a tragedy seriously at all.

"Because it has nothing to do with Britain." Alan Wilson said lightly, this happened frequently in the history of his homeland in his previous life. There is no exception in every dynasty change, until no one dares to continue to fight for the world.

Of course, the consequences are borne by ordinary people, and it even becomes a stalk. There are many people who can prove that Li Shimin’s level is not good with the 8.9 million households in the Sui Dynasty. household. Shouldn't this blame Yang Guang for causing chaos in the world?

But the magic is that Yang Guang has a very good reputation in the online world, and he is often brought out to overwhelm Li Shimin, the emperor's benchmark.

It has been judged as a big internal propaganda of France's internal propaganda, and Alan Wilson has judged that the result of Algeria has to wait. He can't wait for the result in Paris, and he will continue to talk about it. After all, he didn't have the time, and he had to go back to London to resume his job.

McMillan, who presided over the independence of Guyana and made a trip to Washington, has returned to London. He can't stay abroad and not go back. If he doesn't go back, who will watch... assist the minister to benefit the people?

Returning to London this time, Alan Wilson wants to inspect the current status of the shipbuilding industry in the former world's largest shipbuilding country through the Ministry of the Interior. This will be because Japan has just released the year-end report of the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

In the past year, the Japanese shipbuilding industry surpassed the United Kingdom and became the world's largest shipbuilding country.

Alan Wilson, who got the news, had to take a good look at this opponent.

Alan Wilson, who went around Asia, remembered what Makins said about the decline in the profits of the British shipbuilding industry. This time he came back to find out the bottom line.

"The shipbuilding industry is Britain's dominant industry. The ships launched in 1945 still accounted for half of the world's ships." Alan Wilson didn't want to talk about it, but the decline of the public shipbuilding industry would increase the cost of military shipbuilding. He didn't want to talk about it. It doesn't work either.

Markins, who was called in, had to bear the cynicism of his old friend, and wondered how Alan Wilson could still learn Japanese, slurring his words.

"It can't be helped, Japan's human cost is the bottom." Makins couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Britain still competes with Germany on the European side, but Japan's momentum is now stronger than Germany's."

"What's the labor cost? We're not a place where there's no labor cost." Alan Wilson pinched his waist with both hands, tilted his neck and asked Makins, "What is the average profit of the shipbuilding industry now."

"It's less than 10%. Otherwise, what I said years ago, is there a problem in the shipbuilding industry?" Makins sighed, "We are also thinking of a solution to the problem."

"Don't hold back the military spending of the Royal Navy, there is a solution." Alan Wilson murmured eccentrically, "Ten percent is higher than I thought. It's not particularly bad, but we should think of a way." .”

He is right, at least it is much more profitable than the world shipbuilding industry in the 21st century. To be honest, the shipbuilding industry in the 21st century is a pattern of competition between China, Japan and South Korea. Under this pattern, it is natural that there is no profit. .

When the world economy was booming, the shipbuilding industry of the three countries had no profit, and the world economy was a little turbulent. In those years, they basically lost money, and a loss of several hundred million a year was regarded as a political achievement.

Naturally, there is still a 10% profit, which Alan Wilson still thinks is quite high. After decades of losing money, it is of course high.

After selecting several public and private shipyards, Alan Wilson followed Maggins to find out. The Ministry of the Interior manages quite complicated things, so Makins is quite respectable among the three major ministries.

A few hours later, the two walked out of the shipyard. Allen Wilson was still chattering, "Once the shipbuilding industry declines, military shipbuilding will also be affected. It is worth using all means to make Japan feel difficult."

"You want to bring Malaya's old warships to Japan?" Makins raised his eyebrows. The old colleague doesn't want gunboat diplomacy, does he?

"You think too much." Alan Wilson shook his head, "I want the London Maritime Arbitration Commission to arbitrate Japan's illegal subsidies and dump them on other countries."

The United Kingdom has been the number one maritime power for so many years, and it always leaves a bit of heritage behind.

When a large number of contracts are generated, disputes are naturally inevitable. When dealing with such maritime and maritime disputes, enterprises have to face foreign arbitration. British maritime law is generally applied internationally, and maritime arbitration is also a part of it.

The London Maritime Arbitrators Association is a recognized international maritime arbitration center, so its arbitral awards have the highest enforceability internationally. The London Maritime Arbitration Commission in London happens to be able to manage this issue until now.

"Public shipbuilding companies should try to merge to reduce competition, and private shipbuilding companies should also integrate. If they can compete with Japanese shipbuilding companies under the guidance of the government, they will always be stronger than they are now."

Makins thought while listening, and finally replied, "If this is the case, Clarkson should provide the evidence. But it seems that we are a free world. Does this count as trade protection?"

"Do you think the pound zone is considered a trade barrier?" Alan Wilson asked coldly~lightnovelpub.net~ The two ended the discussion at the same time, as if they hadn't spoken at all, and Makins Trade said unintentionally, " I figured out how to make a case that the shipbuilding industry had to be saved, but with the help of the Department of Defense."

"As long as the report on the shipbuilding industry is honest and reliable, the Ministry of Defense will definitely be willing to help." Alan Wilson said this and paused. "The most urgent task now is to clarify how many shipyards have encountered operating difficulties. This information must be known to the cabinet. "

Of course, this is not enough. Alan Wilson is thinking about how South Korea defeated Japanese shipbuilding, and whether it can learn from some experience.

So to deal with the threat of Japanese shipbuilding, Alan Wilson has almost three ideas. The first is to gain time through the long-arm jurisdiction of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association and Clarkson, and then immediately start adjusting the focus of the British shipbuilding industry. It is best Can get other European countries to help.

At the same time, he now wants to persuade the cabinet to use a series of vocational school students established in Malaya to come to local shipyards for internships.

After all, the British mainland is too far away from Japan. If the bayonet is really popular, it has to go to Malaya, which is holding the Strait of Malacca.
