v2 Chapter 1074: Threats to the shipbuilding industry

Just three days later, Alan Wilson saw the latest solution from France on the TV of Woodpecker Pictures, and then overturned his judgment three days ago, and softly spit out a word, "Shameless..."

A solution to the Algeria issue by the Paris government was broadcast on TV. In short, given that 40 percent of the people want independence, Paris is considering a plan to divide the north and the south, aiming to solve the problem without future troubles. achieve a win-win outcome.

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

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

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

"I have a habit of dozing off on planes." Ingrid Bergman was a little embarrassed, still not knowing the meaning of this question.

It is indeed a bit too much to expect a female star to have knowledge of geography. I think ordinary French people have this level of knowledge.

"The North and the South? France wants the coast and 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. Fifth, if France cut this part off for the Algerians, it would be the greatest human tragedy in history."

If the division between the north and the south is such a demarcation, let’s call this landlocked country Algeria for the time being. The living conditions of this Algeria will instantly leave Chad and Niger behind. After all, Chad has Lake Chad, and Niger has the water source of the upper Niger River.

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

France has already created several countries that are doomed to tragedy in the demarcation of independent French African countries.

If Algeria is so independent, Mali and Chad will be nothing, and Algeria is the biggest tragedy.

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

"If the French are of your geographic level, they won't support it. Maybe they think it's France that suffers. Likewise, the Algerians won't support it. They are locals, and of course they know that the place France left them is A dead place."

As soon as the words fell, Ingrid Bergman pinched the man's weakness, "You have been doing your best with you for so many years, so that's what you said about me?"

"I was wrong, but you should consider whether the war will have an impact on the French mainland and see what business is there." When Alan Wilson heard this plan, he was basically certain that the division of the North and the South was a waste case.

If Algerians are dissatisfied with the referendum result, they will also not accept this no-wait solution. Then the military action should not be stopped yet.

This so-called division of the north and the south is a major internal propaganda of the de Gaulle government, and it has done so to express its sincerity to the French citizens. If the Algerians object, then the responsibility for continuing the war does not lie with France.

The wishful thinking sounded, and the French took all the benefits. They also put the responsibility for the war on the colonies. It is worthy of being a mainland country.

"How do I feel, you don't seem to be worried." Ingrid Bergman whispered, and Alan Wilson took such a tragedy seriously.

"Because it has nothing to do with England," Alan Wilson downplayed, something that happened often in the history of his homeland in his previous life. Every time the dynasty is changed, there is no exception, until no one dares to continue to compete for the world.

The consequences are of course borne by ordinary people, and even become a stalk. The 8.9 million households in the Sui Dynasty proved that Li Shimin's level was not enough. Household. Shouldn't this accuse Yang Guang of causing chaos in the world?

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

Already judged to be the big internal propaganda of France's internal propaganda, Alan Wilson has judged that the result of Algeria has to wait, he can't wait for the result in Paris, and then he has to gossip. Fan, he didn't have the time, and he had to go back to London to resume his job.

Macmillan, who presided over the independence of Guyana and made a trip to Washington by the way, has returned to London. He can't stay abroad and not go back. Who will watch if he doesn't go back... Auxiliary ministers benefit the people?

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

In the past year, the Japanese shipbuilding industry has surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world's largest shipbuilding country.

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

Alan Wilson, who went to Asia for a lap, remembered that Markins had said that the profits of the British shipbuilding industry had fallen. This time, he came back to find out.

"The shipbuilding industry is the dominant industry in the UK, and the ships launched in 1945 accounted for half of the world's total." Alan Wilson also did not want to talk about it, but the weakening of the public shipbuilding industry will make the cost of military shipbuilding skyrocket. Neither.

Markins, who was called in, had to endure the cynicism of his old friend, and wondered how Alan Wilson still learned Japanese, one bite at a time.

"There's no way, Japan's labor costs are low." Makins couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The UK still has to compete with Germany on the European side, but now Japan's momentum is even stronger than Germany's."

"Low labor cost? We are not a place without labor cost." Alan Wilson pinched his waist with his hands and asked Markins, "What is the average profit of the shipbuilding industry now."

"It's less than 10 percent, otherwise what would I say a few years ago, there is a problem in the shipbuilding industry?" Markins sighed, "We are also thinking of a solution to the problem."

"Don't hold back the Royal Navy's military spending, there is a way." Alan Wilson muttered yin and yang, "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. .

When the world economy was prosperous, the shipbuilding industry of the three countries was not profitable, and the world economy was in a bit of trouble. It was basically losing money back then, and losing a few hundred million a year was regarded as a political achievement.

Naturally, there is still a 10% profit. Alan Wilson still thinks it is quite high. After several decades, it will be high to lose money and make a profit.

Selecting a few public and private shipyards, Alan Wilson followed Markins to find out. The Ministry of the Interior manages a lot of things, so among the three ministries, Markins still has a lot of face.

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

"You want to bring the old warships from Malaya to Japan?" Makins raised his eyebrows, the old colleague wouldn't want gunboat diplomacy, would he?

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

The United Kingdom has been the first maritime power for so many years, and it always leaves a little legacy behind.

When a large number of contracts are generated, disputes are naturally inevitable. When dealing with such maritime disputes, enterprises have to face foreign arbitration. The international maritime law of the United Kingdom is generally applicable, and maritime arbitration is also a part of it.

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

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

Markins listened and thought, and finally replied, "If you do this, Clarkson should provide the evidence. But it seems that we are a free world. Is this trade protection?"

"Do you think the pound area is considered a trade barrier?" Alan Wilson asked coldly~lightnovelpub.net~ The two of them ended the discussion, as if they didn't speak at all, Markins Trade said unintentionally, " I figured out a way 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 reports on the shipbuilding industry are honest and reliable, the Department of Defense will certainly be willing to help," said Alan Wilson, after a pause. "The priority now is to find out how many shipyards are in trouble. This information must be made known to the Cabinet. "

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

So to deal with the threat of Japanese shipbuilding, Alan Wilson has almost three ideas. The first is to buy time for long-arm jurisdiction through the London Maritime Arbitrators Association and Clarkson, and then immediately start to adjust the focus of the British shipbuilding industry. Can get the rest of Europe 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 the local shipyard for internships.

After all, the British mainland is too far away from Japan. If you really want to see the red with a bayonet, you have to hold the Malaya in the Strait of Malacca.
