As far as a country is concerned, the basic coal and iron industry is a must. The UK must have this condition. As for Japan? Alan Wilson seems to remember that there is a warship island in Japan with coal mines on it.

After losing Hokkaido, Japan’s limited mineral resources gap was even bigger, and its own resources were definitely not as good as Malaya. In terms of geographical environment, before the independence of British India, Britain finally chose Malaya as the next pearl. , needless to say geographical conditions?

The same is imported iron ore, how much is the cost in Japan, and how much is the cost in Malaya? Calculate the price difference, and fight Japan according to this price difference. I don’t need to make money, but you will definitely lose money.

As soon as he returned to London, Alan Wilson devoted himself to saving the British shipbuilding industry. The reason why the British shipbuilding cost was lower than that of the United States during World War II was due to the strong shipbuilding industry.

The fundamentals of the United Kingdom are not as good as those of the United States. The United States can ignore the weak civilian shipbuilding industry and let the cost of military shipbuilding go directly to the sky. If the United Kingdom does the same, it will pay a higher price than the United States.

Back in the Office of the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson is thinking about how many departments need to work together, and the Chief Private Secretary Wick is reporting on the negligible and insignificant diplomatic achievements made by Foreign Secretary Macmillan's visit to Washington and meeting with Kennedy .

"The Kennedy administration is willing to have a good talk about the Six-Party Talks." Wick continued to repeat the scriptures, pretending that he didn't see the wandering spirit of his immediate boss. As a subordinate, any doubts about the boss itself represent unreliability.

"Maybe our minister is complacent, boasting about that insignificant achievement." Alan Wilson said lazily, "It's normal, American mother and British father."

"Basically that's all." Wick didn't answer, and stopped where he was, waiting for Alan Wilson's order.

"In the name of the British Foreign Office, I protest against Japanese Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda, protesting Japan's manipulation of the exchange rate to dump the UK and the European Community market." Alan Wilson thought while thinking, "The Australian Commissioner must clearly point out in Australia The possibility of Japan launching an economic war, this is a bloodless war, the war is not over, it just reappeared at another level."

"By the way, isn't northern Japan occupied by the Soviet Union? We should sort out the security issues in Southeast Asia. It cannot be denied that there is such a possibility that the Japanese trained by the Soviet Union used Japanese faces as a cover to attack Southeast Asia. Infiltrate. Inform GCHQ of this possibility and work on it."

"I want to analyze the characteristics of the Japanese shipbuilding industry, focusing on what types of ships."

Allen Wilson just said casually, without considering this possibility at all. At this time, he never thought that this is exactly what the Soviet Union is currently doing. He also has a good son who is about to graduate.

The ignorant Alan Wilson asked Wick to hand over the development of the situation in Northern Rhodesia tomorrow, "Also pay close attention to the situation in Algeria. Nyerere has finished his inspection of British West Africa. Sometime this year Tangany Kazakhstan should be turned into a self-governing dominion, and according to our agreement with Nigeria, Nigeria will be officially independent next year after a few years. Don’t make any problems with the last time. When I was in British India, I made a countdown sign every day Update, still very useful, give Nigerians something to look forward to..."

Allen Wilson originally asked the secretary to prepare the documents for North Rhodesia, but he was surprised when he started talking endlessly. There are so many things?

"That's it for now!" Alan Wilson thought for a long time, and found that there was nothing to add for the time being. When he remembered, it would be the same when he said it tomorrow.

"Understood!" Wick took out his notes and wrote them all down, and said again, "The minister seems to be having a headache because of the South African issue."

"The South African problem?" Allen Wilson said to himself, leaning back tactically, "This is the aftermath of the independence of French Africa."

South Africa has always had an apartheid system, which divides South Africans into four classes. I don’t know if they have been inspired by the famous big countries. Alan Wilson thinks that some Hindu elites should try the missionary effect in South Africa.

Historically, this year should be the time when South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth of Nations. After all, the British and the Boers had feuds. After two world wars, the Boer political party defeated the British immigrant party to form a government and became the first South African government composed entirely of white South Africans. The cabinet marked the beginning of white South Africans taking sole power in South Africa. In the same year, South Africa began to implement the policy of apartheid.

With the emergence of many countries in French Africa within a year, Britain gradually gave up colonial rule. Prime Minister Eden delivered a speech of change in Cape Town, marking Britain's formal abandonment of the South African colony.

The situation in Africa was changing, and the British immigrants and the Boers had to unite under this threat.

This allowed whites to unite against blacks, especially in a regime monopolized by whites, where the Boers had an advantage, and their sense of crisis and defense against blacks was far greater than that of the British.

They believe that if Western capitalism generally allows the free transfer of land through buying and selling and encourages the flow of labor force, then sooner or later, less than 20% of the white population will become disadvantaged.

Alan Wilson, who didn't want to show up in front of Macmillan, had to show up to talk to the Foreign Secretary about South Africa.

First of all, it is not acceptable to support South Africa's apartheid policy. South Africa has value, and it is not as valuable as the whole of Africa.

Compared with the vastness of Africa, any powerful country will choose to sacrifice South Africa. Blood is thicker than water is bullshit.

Not supporting South Africa's apartheid policy does not mean openly opposing it, "Because of the Boer War, Britain was very cruel to the Boers. Under the current background, my suggestion is to use the Boer War as an excuse to express the British guilt towards South Africa. , so we don’t condemn South Africa on the surface, of course it has nothing to do with South Africa’s huge gold reserves, Britain has never been a country that cares about the legitimate wealth of other countries.”

"Allen, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs really needs you." McMillan was amazed at how he could say two completely different meanings in one sentence. He mentioned the Boer War in the front, and said he didn't think about other countries' affairs in the back. Legal wealth, then the question is, what was the cause of the Boer War, and it was not the local giant gold mine.

"Dear minister, each era has its considerations." Allen Wilson replied with a smile, "We as diplomats never care about what we said in the past, we only care about what we are going to do now."

"If the South Africans are smart enough, hurry up and learn from the French partition plan to solve the black problem. If you want blacks to be low-end labor force, you will definitely have problems if you don't give them power. This is what North Rhodesia does. It's good that South Africa has the basis to do it, but I think they're too greedy and probably won't budge."

"And it's not in the interests of the UK to come up with this kind of idea. The minister just visited Washington, and some remarks may make the French a little displeased. If they express their support for South Africa on the issue of partition? It may increase the French's support for the UK. distrust, which is very troublesome.”

Macmillan can't finish France in Washington and hand it over to South Africa's partition proposal? Although the foreign ministers are all chameleons, this is a little too fast.

What's more, the Boers are not close to the United Kingdom, unlike Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where blood is thicker than water, and they are confident in themselves. How can this help?

"My communication with the new US President Kennedy is very friendly. He is a peaceful person." McMillan suddenly talked about his insignificant achievements. "I think the Six-Party Talks may have a good result."

"Dear minister, maybe you are not as optimistic as you think. Of course, it is okay to be cautiously optimistic." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, and only slightly recalled Kennedy, a problem child who had only been in office for three years, and concluded that Macmillan It is wishful thinking.

Which leads to a result that will be good? If there is no accident, it must be an accident.

There is no need to hide anything. Alan Wilson, who has left Macmillan's office, is thinking about whether the conditions of the United States will remain the same, or whether the British influence should be removed from Iran. How will Macmillan explain his achievements then?

Surely he didn't have to explain it like Whitehall, but could he explain it like Aiden?

Alan Wilson was still busy saving the shipbuilding industry, and contacted Richard, the High Commissioner of Malaya, to inquire about the student reserve of the vocational and technical schools established in his second term.

I asked Frank from the Ministry of Finance about the current financial situation. In the 1960s, Britain finally re-established its own circular economic system, and no longer had to look down on huge debts.

Although the debt has already been paid off~lightnovelpub.net~, it took a few more years for the domestic financial pressure. It is very simple. Isn’t domestic debt debt?

In a sense, Japan after the Plaza Accord can be regarded as a financial innovation. It has maintained a 200% debt for so many years. Japan took this path first, and other countries will follow.

The financially healthy answer came from Frank, and Alan Wilson nodded, "In other words, increasing fiscal expenditures and stimulating the shipbuilding industry will not cause financial pressure?"

"It depends on what you plan to increase your financial expenditure to." Frank's heart moved, and he asked uncertainly, "Increase military expenditure?"

"Of course this is the old way, otherwise?" Alan Wilson shrugged, "Otherwise, the shipbuilding industry does not have a strong support, what should we do? Britain is a 60 billion pound economy, and its military expenditure has been maintained at 15.6 billion pounds. scale?"

The current economic size of the UK is 60 billion pounds, which is 170 billion U.S. dollars.

"To maintain the scale of the shipbuilding industry will help reduce procurement costs, so one of the ways to save the shipbuilding industry is to increase military spending."
