However, this close comrade-in-arms of Salazar did not contact Alan Wilson. The British gentleman left the manor and was going to walk around Lisbon to judge this small country with a population of less than 9 million and a colonial power at the same time. Portugal, the current real state of society.

"There is still such a place in Europe!" Allen Wilson couldn't help but sigh, statistics are only one aspect of it, and only by seeing it with your own eyes can you have a clear understanding of the real situation in Portugal.

Although he thought he was traveling north and south, Alan Wilson had never been to the capital of Brazil, but Lisbon is really not much better than the colonial capitals of British Africa that have already developed a real estate.

What is certain is that although Salazar solved the problems of frequent deficits and social instability.

But the time in Portugal as a whole seems to have stayed before World War II, and there has been no change for so many years.

When you haven’t changed a bit, your neighbors are all advancing by leaps and bounds. The colonial history has made the consequences clear. Portugal naturally doesn’t have to worry about being annexed in this peaceful era. But if it continues like this?

Ingrid Bergman wears a headscarf and sunglasses. Although this kind of dress is not uncommon in Portugal, her outstanding height makes the disguise only deceptive. This is still her feeling of taking care of the deputy secretary. She came out wearing flat shoes the result of…

The two are like tourists, walking around with the attitude of bystanders, and the bodyguards follow not far away, which does not disturb the good mood of the female president. Professional bodyguards must have Sanmao's excellent qualities. Simply put, it is not Don't look at what you should...

Knowing that 50% of Portugal's population fits the definition of illiterate, Alan Wilson stood in front of a school for a moment before deciding to wander around.

Dominguez, an elementary school teacher, sits in his modest house, which adjoins the school building, both modern buildings.

He looked across the road at the house where his colleague Susan lived. Susan's work schedule was quickly settled. The teacher who was going to be transferred to Mr. Ferrer's elementary school refused to come, so Su temporarily filled the vacancy.

Susan needs to be approved by the principal, Filler, to become a permanent teacher. She taught for about two years in London. Although she quit not long ago, it is hard to say that she is a layman in teaching; She had only been working together for three or four weeks, and he already wanted her to stay.

In the eyes of Dominguez, Susan is so smart; what industry master would not want to keep a colleague who can save him half of his energy?

They have been attending classes like this for several weeks. Although it is very monotonous, he feels a lot of fun from it.

It happened that one day the school received a notice to take the students to Christ Church to see the traveling exhibition, which was a model of Jerusalem. Taking into account the educational effect, each student can enter and visit as long as they pay one penny. So the students lined up in two rows.

Susan walked beside her class, holding a simple parasol, with her little thumb hooked around the handle. Dominguez, wearing a rumpled suit, followed behind, swinging his cane gracefully.

Hit her, he has been restless, thinking about it. This afternoon, the sun was shining and the sun was shining, and there was a lot of dust. When I entered the exhibition room, there were not many people except them.

With enthusiasm, he saw Susan talking and laughing, introducing the situation of the school to a man and a woman.

"Ms. Susan has worked in the UK, and she returned to teach in Lisbon today, which is very admirable." Alan Wilson was also lucky, and even found a female teacher who had work experience in the UK.

"Mr. Allen, you and this lady seem to be members of the upper class. We have limited conditions here, so don't mind." Susan was a little embarrassed and tried her best to maintain her dignity.

"High society? That doesn't count!" Alan Wilson shook his head. Neither he nor Ingrid Bergman was considered a member of high society. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, that is not wrong.

Reaching out and handing some pounds to Susan, Allen Wilson stopped the other party's rejection with his eyes, "Miss Susan, thank you for your reception, which gave me a certain understanding of Portugal."

The most profound understanding is that, in terms of the current basic conditions of Portugal, with a population of less than 10 million, the mainland is like a large rural area, but there are 300,000 troops, struggling to support the operation of overseas colonies.

Allies like Salazar deserve help from the British side, and in terms of human cost, this European manpower depression is not worthless.

Alan Wilson donated 500 pounds and took away a world map of the school by the way, clearing the suspicion of charity.

At this time, Alan Wilson saw Dominguez, who was not far away, and there were many women with the same status as his wife. He could see the admiration in his eyes, and he smiled and went back and forth to get the world map. Susan teased, "Miss Susan, this should be your admirer."

"He's just my colleague!" Susan blushed and explained embarrassingly.

"I can't make a mistake, especially this kind of gaze." Alan Wilson glanced at Ingrid Bergman, who had been silent all this time, rolled his eyes behind the sunglasses, but this didn't delay his nod .

"Look!" Alan Wilson, who was recognized, laughed and expressed his congratulations in an old-fashioned way. Then I waved goodbye to the new friends I met today.

Ingrid Bergman followed behind the man and said in a low voice, "It's five hundred pounds in one shot, you are quite rich."

"Part of professional image management shows my love for the civil class." Alan Wilson's mouth slightly curled up, and he opened the car door first to let Ingrid Bergman get in the car first, and then went up by himself.

On the way back, Allen Wilson opened the world map, and sure enough, the world map is a great artifact of the key politicians. Some vague thoughts immediately became clear.

It is known that the automobile industry is a large employment industry. Because of the exchange rate of the pound, the UK cannot outperform Germany and Japan. After the exchange rates of these two countries became normal, the automobile industry had already been established, and the process of invasion from the bottom up began.

Later generations seem to have a term called a developed country shredder. It is not the first time that Britain has encountered this.

Alan Wilson moved to a Land Rover production line in Malaya, and put it on the first stop of a Japanese company going overseas to intercept it.

But this is still not enough. He has countermeasures for Japanese models that sell in volume, but pickup trucks are another important factor in the volume advantage of Japanese cars in later generations over German cars.

The demand brought by pickup trucks is one of the reasons why the output of Japanese cars overwhelms that of German cars. Of course, the pickup trucks in the U.S. market are still dominated by domestic car companies. The pickup trucks in the U.S. are equivalent to Wuling in a big country. Such a status.

Excluding the US market, pickup trucks are also widely used in Africa, especially North Africa, and the Middle East.

Land Rover does not currently have such a model, but it doesn't matter, the executive deputy chief said that there will be one soon, and he will naturally have one.

Compared with Portugal's position, it is not satisfactory. There are better positions, but it is not as easy to use as Portugal. It is impossible for Britain to dictate to France, and it is also impossible for Italy, which is close to North Africa.

But it’s okay for Portugal, and the Portuguese have long been accustomed to the existence of British capital. If you start from Portugal, it’s easier to go to the North American market. Portugal’s location can take into account both North America and North Africa, and there is no problem in terms of sales routes.

Coupled with the fact that Portugal's European labor costs are currently low, a feeling of great promise appeared in Alan Wilson's mind.

Moreover, Portugal has such a small population, even smaller than the colonies of Malaya. Concentrating on one model can bring great changes to Portugal.

In Germany and Japan, which were founded by the automobile industry in later generations, the automobile industry accounts for one-fifth of the German economy.

Japan has an even larger proportion, reaching a third of the size. Once the fuel vehicle field is squeezed out, both countries will have big problems, and Japan is definitely the more miserable one.

Germany has a population of 80 million, and Japan has a population of over 100 million. The annual output of German cars is less than 20 million, while that of Japanese cars is more than 20 million. Portugal has just under nine million people. Being able to figure out a model is enough to get Portugal out of the current situation in Gandhi's dream of India.

"Going west, you can go to North America, and you can go to North Africa after crossing the Mediterranean Sea." Alan Wilson took the conversion of Portugal's per capita salary and suddenly discovered one thing. Portugal's per capita cost is cheaper than the current Malaya~lightnovelpub.net~ When Etano came to the manor, Alan Wilson had already determined the strategy of establishing the pickup truck. In the context of globalization, any resource can be bought, and the lack of resources in Portugal itself is no longer a big problem.

"Sir Wilson, the Prime Minister wants to have an interview with you." Caetano said directly when he saw Alan Wilson.

"I really have a good thing to discuss with the Prime Minister." Alan Wilson also responded happily, "To show my sincerity, I will keep it secret for now."

Caetano was stunned, and it took him a long time to smile wryly, "Then I hope that the friendship between Britain and Portugal will last forever."

"It should be like this!" Alan Wilson put away the world map he bought for five hundred pounds, and the human resource depressions in Europe are now to be included in the British planning system. Investing in the Portuguese auto industry is a bridge to access the African auto market.

Salazar didn't expect this unexpected scene either. He originally wanted to discuss the UK's views on the international situation with Alan Wilson, but he didn't expect to start with industrial development. He even had the illusion that what he was facing was A minister in the Portuguese government, Sir Wilson the Extraordinary Minister.
