"Of course we are prepared. These students who have already acquired skills in vocational schools will be paid twice as much as Malaya. We will attract them on the condition of imparting skills, and we will settle for two to three years. work hours. It will not be a problem, it will not delay their precious lives, and it will solve our problems.”

Alan Wilson said, took out the prepared plan, and emphasized, "Ten years ago, I used a similar method when developing Newfoundland. At that time, the conditions were limited, and now it is no matter in terms of skills or age. It's a lot stronger than before, and it's easier to rotate."

"However, I want to stress that student workers who enter some private shipyards must guarantee food and accommodation. Once a scandal breaks out, it will bring shame to the UK. I hope that the owners of civil shipyards can realize that they should not save costs in the details. , to have these student workers who are only one-third of the salary in the UK is already a great thing."

The issues of various departments have been discussed, and the more important, or even the most important issue, is naturally the establishment of the Ship Construction and Transportation Committee. After all, it is a department that can increase the importance of civil servants, and the discussion is much more lively.

Others are mainly discussing how many civil servant positions are appropriate, whether it is a formal department or a public institution?

Alan Wilson talked about specific competitive countermeasures, took out the focus of Japanese shipbuilding, and said at the same time, "Japanese shipbuilding has a very strong planning side, and it seems that many countries have learned the Soviet Union. Therefore, the accusations made by the London Maritime Arbitration Association are not wrong, Japan is indeed competing unfairly, and I would add that it did so under the aegis of the United States, and it is also Germany that has such treatment.”

The United States is doing its best to narrow the gap between countries other than itself, so that Germany, Italy, and Japan can be compared with Britain and France.

Exports to the Axis countries, especially Germany and Japan, were green light all the way. For the British and French, the reason is that Britain and France have colonies, and they will not help unless they can.

The United States just did not expect that there is a person in the United Kingdom who is more proficient in economics than Germany and Japan. It was a lot of fun to cash out the colony, and I also knew where the precious minerals in the world were generally, and made countermeasures.

The attempt to let America sit on the sidelines and wait for Britain to slowly decay has not only failed, but has also been the first to emerge from the quagmire.

Looking back over the past ten years, it is difficult for Alan Wilson to say what stage he was at and what he felt he could change, but one thing was very important. The moment Pamela Mountbatten opened the door for him was a turning point in his life.

In the future, he began to spare no effort to strengthen Pamela Mountbatten's wealth value, which can be said to be unreserved.

"Currently, Japanese shipbuilding is concentrated in the two major fields of bulk and oil tankers, with more than 70% of bulk ships. If the UK adjusts its focus on shipbuilding, it should focus on containers, cruise ships, and even yachts. In the segmented market, it is formed with Japan. Differences, while strengthening the design and patent barriers in container shipbuilding.”

"Britain's advantage is that shipbuilding as a system engineering, the importance of supporting industries is self-evident. In this world, the United Kingdom has the most abundant accumulation, but our cost is indeed high. Japan's shipbuilding is not worth mentioning, even if The United States only piled up huge production during the war, and after the war, American shipbuilding entered a recession."

"The manufacturing cost of British warships is lower than that of the United States, which is also related to the fact that the United States is increasingly unable to share the cost. Therefore, to protect the shipbuilding industry is to protect the national defense of the United Kingdom. Fortunately, domestic citizens have now expressed their support."

While coming up with a general strategy, discussions on the Ship Construction and Transportation Committee also yielded results. Many towns around the shipyards make a living from the income of these shipyards, driving local employment.

Naturally, this committee must not ignore the interests of these local people. These shipyards must send officials to sit in town, and together with the locally elected mayor, work together to support the shipbuilding industry.

The elected mayor and Whitehall may not have a common language, but the civil servants under him have to listen to Whitehall, so this kind of institution can do it.

As for the specific allocation of Malayan migrant workers, some investigation is required, but there is no doubt that the new committee will also take care of this matter.

A day later, Norman Brooke convened a wider meeting, and the topic of discussion had moved to state support. In fact, it is how to take out a plan to increase military spending to take care of the interests of various military services. The protagonist is Thomas, Permanent Secretary of Defense.

In principle, Whitehall will raise the proposed general fee to £2bn from £1.65bn last year. Even if it can't be done, it will increase the military expenditure of 100 million for the army, navy and air force. To balance the interests of the various services, it is inevitable to discuss the distribution of military expenditures.

The Royal Navy is talking about adding two Queen Victoria-class aircraft carriers, bringing the total to five. There are also projects of strategic nuclear submarines and attack nuclear submarines, the Army has a construction plan for the Chieftain tank, and the Air Force has projects of TSR.2 attack aircraft and Belfast strategic transport aircraft.

Every service stares like a wolf at any bit of appropriation, and every plan looks ambitious. In this way, the increase in military spending discussed by Whitehall may not necessarily be enough.

Two Eagles, two Queen Elizabeths, five Queen Victorias? Alan Wilson counting the number of aircraft carriers to be deployed along with the plan? Can not help grinning, this is not realistic.

Even without the new construction plans, two Eagles, two Queen Elizabeths, three Queen Victorias, and four Centaurs in service would be sufficient. The standard is relaxed, and it is also a powerful maritime force with more than a dozen aircraft carriers.

The Royal Navy will also increase the construction plan of the Queen Victoria class. Is it going to do nothing with the US Navy?

Marshal Mountbatten didn't mean this. He proposed to increase the construction plan of two ships just to give the cabinet room to bargain. It is also good to be able to win one, mainly because of the funding for nuclear submarines.

With the funding to save the shipbuilding industry, there must be no construction plan for new warships, right? It doesn't make sense!

"Belfast strategic transport aircraft project?" Norman Brooke suddenly said, looking at Alan Wilson, "I remember that it has been integrated into Pamela's industry?"

"Yes, I know about this." Alan Wilson sat upright, waiting for the next.

"It is very important to try to save costs." Norman Brooke nodded. "The project cost of the Navy and Air Force is too large, and it is not easy to pass through the cabinet."

Fiscal issues remain a priority for the current administration, even when it comes to plans to increase military spending. The United Kingdom is not the United States. The United States has an economic aggregate of more than 500 billion US dollars, three times the economic scale of the United Kingdom, and its military expenditure is more than ten times that of the United Kingdom.

But the United States is far from Eurasia, so don't worry too much about welfare, not the United Kingdom. Raising military spending to £2 billion is also a reason to save the shipbuilding industry, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy.

At night, the whole plan has been formulated, and they left from Whitehall 70. The plan will be reported to the cabinet for discussion. If there is no problem, there will be a result that will satisfy the military.

In fact, there is another reason. The United States has been urging the United Kingdom to increase its military spending to protect Europe. The United Kingdom can use this to show its sincerity.

Alan Wilson, wearing a mask, arrived at Hepburn's apartment and began today's maintenance journey.

"I think it's fine." Alan Wilson bent over, feeling completely back to normal, I don't know why Hepburn still felt uncomfortable.

"You look closer, it's not good at all." Hepburn urged with his back to the man, as if he felt that the man was perfunctory, not sincere at all, "Did you see clearly?"

"It's all right!" Alan Wilson could only take a closer look with the ointment. He is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how can he lie?

Just when he thought so, Hepburn's hand directly grabbed Alan Wilson's head and tugged it, "Hmph..."

Qiu Hua laughed wickedly, completely different from the noble and inhumane look in front of others...

Except for getting humiliated from Greta Garbo many years ago in New Delhi. This time he was taught a lesson by Hepburn, and he felt even more indignant than the one he had a dozen years ago.

This has formed an impact on the three views of the deputy secretary. Hepburn turned out to be such a person!

Even when I went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the next day, my whole person exuded an air of no strangers coming in. I clearly told the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that my immediate boss was not in a beautiful mood today, so don't come up and ask for trouble.

"Secretary, the Malayan High Commissioner has sent a telegram and is handling the matter of student workers coming to study in the country..." When Wick was reporting in front of his boss, he felt uncomfortable and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Hmm~lightnovelpub.net~ ah, well..." Alan Wilson picked up the water glass, licked his lips, and said with a long face, "Tell the Malayan High Commissioner about this matter as soon as possible, and let them be frankly informed. Good thing, that's it."

Wick was a little surprised. Alan Wilson had taken the wrong medicine today. Usually, he should have ordered everything in detail, especially when it came to the Malayan issue. what is it today?

"Anything else?" Alan Wilson stared at his unfocused eyes, as if the KGB had seen the enemy of the people.

"It's okay, Deputy Secretary, I'll go to work first." Wick quickly turned around and hurried away, turning his back on his face, as if he was frightened.

The special appropriation for national defense in 1961 was approved by Aiden's cabinet after a joint discussion among Conservative ministers. With the proposal of the United States to hold the Basra Conference, Alan Wilson set off again. This time, he believed that the Six-Party Talks It will be the first major test of the Kennedy administration.

However, he has tried his best to find a remedy for the United Kingdom, which is perfectly in line with Changgong's policy of pacifying the outside world first. The confrontation in the next three years should not be the same as history.

This time it was Hepburn who came to do the logistical support. After the recovery, the roles of the two were reversed.
