British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1076: Father-in-law's support

Alan Wilson has thought of this theory, called the trickle-down effect, as a rhetoric to persuade the cabinet to agree to an increase in military spending. If Reagan could make a trickle-down effect, so could he.

And the UK is actually more conditioned to use the trickle-down effect than the US because of the existence of the pound area. The trickle-down effect is a theory that fools people, the same as economists don't understand economics.

In the era of globalization, the trickle-down effect uses increased spending as a means to revitalize the economy. The result is that the money sent will inevitably flow abroad. In fact, if the Soviet Union does not die, the United States will inevitably lead to a debt crisis many years earlier because of Reagan's actions. arrival.

In the era of globalization, the volume effect is ultimately cheaper in other countries, because there are always countries with lower manufacturing costs than you, and fiscal expenditures will go to other countries only after a circle in the United States.

The second half of Reagan's term saw U.S. debt extremely high, but the economy had slowed, and by 1990 the U.S. economy had grown by one percent, and the trickle-down effect had failed, just as the Soviet Union collapsed.

The consequence of the collapse of the Soviet Union was that victory came too easily, and the United States did not feel the danger of doing so. Keep going along the wrong road, and when you really want to turn around, you can't go back.

Because of the existence of the sterling area, the British economic circle is closed to a certain extent, and the consequences of the trickle-down effect will at least be locked in the sterling area. If something goes wrong, the United Kingdom can recover its losses.

What's more, Alan Wilson was simply trying out the shipbuilding industry and was not prepared to practice Reagan economics in the UK.

Given that the Conservative Party is in power, the Conservative Party should not adopt the method of subsidizing the British shipbuilding industry. But through military orders to help maintain the scale of the shipbuilding industry, the Conservatives should not object.

First of all, the cabinet must be informed that the traditional British shipbuilding industry has reached a very dangerous time. When it comes to employment and support rates, Markins will naturally do his part and said that a report will be compiled to prove this.

"The Department of Defense should not be a problem." Alan Wilson muttered, Marshal Mountbatten would never object to the increase in naval orders, and he had asked the Treasury Department before that financial health could support this plan.

The last part is myself, the work in the diplomatic field, first of all, let British citizens know that the United Kingdom is facing the threat of Japanese shipbuilding at this time, and link the progress of Japanese shipbuilding with currency manipulation and illegal subsidies.

At the same time, Alan Wilson is also preparing to put pressure on the United States, which may not be effective, but it must be done. It is not to throw dirty water on the United States, although it is also true that the United States supports Germany and Japan to check and balance Britain and France.

This fact cannot be made public, even if many people know it in their hearts.

Alan Wilson believes that the rulers of various countries in the world are different from each other, but because of the difference in national strength, they have different fault tolerance rates.

The difficulties of the Soviet Union in his presidency were all created by him, and even if it continued to decline like this, it was much better than the situation of the Soviet Union's eastern neighbors.

The US makes mistakes too, but the US has a comfortable environment to adjust. The US environment also has disadvantages, that is, the US always thinks that it can advance and retreat and defend, and it can live behind closed doors.

Anyway, in the 21st century, the United States will never be able to do this. If it dares to do this, the per capita US$60,000 will be cut in half in an instant.

Alan Wilson, who believed in his heart that any country would make mistakes, dared to try to confront the United States.

Of course, it's still a little early. Let's start with Japan. We can test the reaction of the United States through Japan's affairs.

Since 1955, trade frictions between the United States and Japan have begun, mainly textile frictions.

Since the U.S. can have trade frictions with Japan, of course the U.K. can, too. If the U.S. thinks that the U.K. can’t, it means that the U.S. has ill will towards the U.K.

"To collect the industries that have developed in Japan in recent years, it is possible to form an industry competition with the United Kingdom... er, it is an industry that forms an industrial competition among the European Community countries. Based on this assessment, we will discuss countermeasures with other European Community countries at this year's European Community meeting. , countries learn from each other's strengths and complement each other to build industrial barriers. The United States can turn a blind eye to Japan's savage development of intellectual property rights, but we have no obligation to do so."

"Understood, Deputy Secretary!" The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who attended the meeting responded uniformly.

"The textile industry, shipbuilding and even automobiles are booming in Japan. We need to let other EC countries know this fact. There is a preparation in advance, which is also for the development of Europe."

Since the United Kingdom is not locked out of the European Community under his efforts, but is the leader of the European Community, giving France a face is one of them, then we must make good use of the framework of the European Community to deal with it together.

Iceland tortured for two years before was just a small test, and it was the first time for Japan to seriously deal with it.

“Permanent Undersecretary, in Washington, the new Secretary of State Dean Rusk told us that the Six-Party Talks should resume. The United States is willing to play a role in ending the Iran oil crisis.”

Waiting for Alan Wilson to sort things out, Dixie notified Washington of the request.

It was a request. Alan Wilson didn't hear a trace of respect from this retelling. He sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was pleasant, "We have also been expecting a good outcome for the Iranian oil crisis. First, let's put Mr. Dean Rusk's resume. Show me who our new friend is?"

"It's really troublesome to have a relationship with the UK." Alan Wilson looked at the resume of the new US Secretary of State, and it fits the sentence, overseas Chinese are the most anti-China? Maybe not absolutely, but that's about it.

Lax came from humble beginnings and achieved success through personal struggle. When he was young, he won the famous Rhodes Scholarship of Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and then returned home with a master's degree from Oxford University. Since then, two laurels, the winner of the Rhodes Scholarship and the top student of Oxford University, have become the ladder for his success.

When the United States faced the challenges of World War II, he resolutely put his pen to the army. In the five years that followed, he made numerous military exploits, serving as Stilwell's deputy chief of staff for a time. Lax's performance in the army was appreciated by leaders such as Marshall.

"Chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation!" When Alan Wilson saw this, he was basically certain that the attitude of the United States would not change. Even if he was ignorant, he knew where the Rockefeller family's industry was concentrated.

Although Standard Oil was dismantled because of Roosevelt's antitrust laws, Rockefeller's energy in the oil field is still there, and this time the Six-Party Talks started because of the Iranian oil issue.

"It's more trouble to find Japan." Alan Wilson firmed up his determination, and it seems inevitable that a loss on the Iranian issue is inevitable.

You have to find some of it from a place. For countries where Japan has no resources, it is more suitable to make soft persimmons.

Of course, this is in the name of saving the shipbuilding industry, and there is nothing to say about the righteousness in hand, but if you want the cabinet to make the decision he expects, you have to discuss it with your father-in-law.

Mountbatten is already 61 years old, but it is obvious that he will not retire. He will stay in the position of commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces for at least five years. This is when the military is at its most powerful.

When he came to the door, Mountbatten's wife Edwina Ashley was also there, and Alan Wilson greeted politely, "Madam, is the marshal here, I have some business."

"Ellen, everything is fine with you, but you have some problems with your address." Edwina Ashley couldn't help shaking her head with a wry smile. "When we address us, we use very formal names. I don't know why."

"Well, it may be due to my father's education. When I was in the Foreign Office, I also let others call me Deputy Secretary, and I didn't like the name Sir Wilson very much." Alan Wilson explained with a smile, "but it is only The question of the title doesn't mean anything, Pamela and I have a solid relationship, how can I meet you?"

"That's the best, but Pamela only comes back when the weather gets warmer, and I see her less and less." Edvina Ashley couldn't help but sigh, "The wealth is getting bigger and bigger. , but also take care of the family.”

Alan Wilson couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He felt that everything he asked Mountbatten was due. Because of his appearance, Edvina Ashley didn't know what to do with Nehru. How could it be like now? A good wife and mother?

With this in mind, Marshal Mountbatten should give 100% support to his good son-in-law within his authority.

"Trickle-down effect? ​​How can you have so many terms." After listening to his son-in-law for a long time, Mountbatten was unmoved.

"Specifically, it is to increase military spending through military orders~lightnovelpub.net~ to save the shipbuilding industry for the benefit of the country and the people." Alan Wilson also ignored Whitehall's careful training, and directly said what the soldiers love to hear.

"Increase military spending!" Mountbatten, like a cat smelling fishy, ​​straightened his already upright body, "Tell me carefully."

"Although the shipbuilding industry is not a high-end industry, it is not a low-end industry. Currently facing competition from Japan, Whitehall means to prepare in advance. I have a few ideas, mainly..."

"The first few measures plus increasing military spending will definitely be effective. At present, there is still a lot of room for development in the UK's military spending. We can think of ways to do this. Many projects also need military support, and now they have It's the Conservatives who govern, and for these reasons, I think..."

The good son-in-law talked for a long time. In fact, Mountbatten didn't hear a word, but he grasped the core, which is to increase military spending. "What response does the military need?"

"Actually, there is no need to react. We can't be too hasty. Before I go to Basra, I will start to shape supportive public opinion by launching a dumping investigation against Japan."

Alan Wilson lowered his voice, and Marshal Mountbatten nodded frequently. Son-in-law Weng had reached a consensus on increasing military spending.
