v2 Chapter 1150: Pickup country

Latest URL:

Salazar couldn't understand why Alan Wilson moved such an important industry as the automobile to Portugal.

If it was him, he would definitely not do it, but as the accepting party, the Prime Minister of Portugal, Salazar was of course willing to accept it and asked Alan Wilson what conditions he wanted.

"Of course I hope that the Portuguese government will not set up obstacles." Alan Wilson said after a moment of indulgence.

"There are no other conditions?" Salazar was surprised. He thought that the British in front of him would want a lot of policies.

"No, I believe the prime minister can create a good environment for auto companies."

Alan Wilson smiled. What land use rights, tax exemptions or infrastructure construction are all specific issues. Leaders like Salazar are all a matter of one sentence and do not need to be discussed in detail. .

Not only that, in order to bind the capital of Portugal, Alan Wilson also proposed the concept of a joint venture car.

The joint venture brand cars are produced in China, but the brands of foreign car companies, such as SAIC Volkswagen, FAW Toyota, etc., the main technology of these cars comes from foreign parties, and the domestic is only a foundry.

Alan Wilson can hardly think of any particularly powerful models in the joint venture. Basically, it can be considered as a model of just bad money. I can't say all of them. 90% of them are muddy and can't support the wall.

The market of a big country is so huge, and there are always some domestic cars that slip through the net.

However, this problem should not exist in Portugal. Once the UK chooses to enter into a joint venture with Portugal, it will never have to worry about the development of Portugal's auto industry, which can attack the UK.

Portugal's market is too small, and there is no market in itself that can allow domestic car companies and joint venture car companies to coexist. Once British car companies take root, there will be no chance for local car companies to rise.

Moreover, Alan Wilson feels that Portugal will not have the idea of ​​independence. The dependence on the United Kingdom has lasted for hundreds of years, and the Portuguese are used to it.

Borrowing the geographical location of Portugal, you can go west to North America and south to North Africa. To achieve this purpose on the line. It is also possible to draw on Portuguese labor.

The United States is deliberately supporting Germany and Japan to balance the influence of Britain and France. The US can do it, and the UK can do it too.

Now that British shipbuilding and automobiles are facing fierce competition, smaller countries are needed, biting Germany and Japan from behind.

A Malayan colony is actually not enough to compete with Japan in cars. The population of Malaya is only more than 16 million, and these people are already distributed in industries such as iron, steel, oil refining and tin mining, rubber, sugar and other industries in Malaya itself.

In Japan, with a population of more than 100 million in later generations, the automobile industry accounts for one-third of economic activities. Malaya does not have this population base, not to mention that he intends to make Malaya after Malaya, when British shipbuilding is unsustainable , undertake part of the shipbuilding industry.

The labor force in Malaya is not abundant. In the future visible to the naked eye, when the United States is defeated in Vietnam, causing the South Vietnamese to flee, some surplus labor force may spread to the surrounding area.

Indonesia does have sufficient labor force, and the distance is close, but does Malaya dare to accept these labor forces that are ready to annex itself? You must know that Sukarno kept shouting the big Indonesian slogan.

In a short period of time, the labor force in Malaya has been exhausted, and the United Kingdom must find another country that can offshore balance the industry of Japan and Germany. This time, it is seen that Portugal is not as good as the income level of the Malayan colony, and considering that Portugal faces Africa and The geographical location of North America has already been decided by the executive secretary, and Portugal will be the base for the offshore balance of industries.

"I seldom admire a person so much, Sir Wilson." Salazar seemed to laugh infrequently, with a strange smile. "The Portuguese government will definitely support the landing of the car production line."

"I think one year is enough. Portugal prepares the plant and plans, and I will discuss with Pamela about the landing of the auto industry." Alan Wilson said this, and Salazar has agreed on the pickup of the country. Now Time to talk about business.

Alan Wilson expounded on the UK's understanding of the status of Goa, and there is also a British military base in Goa. Naturally, the UK will not return Goa easily. However, under the premise of the upsurge of Indian nationalism, the British and Portugal and the two countries should have a smooth response.

"Britain understands France's determination to protect its own interests, and more than one million soldiers fighting across the sea deserves respect. But unlike France, Portugal and Britain's colonies are relatively scattered and involve a lot of energy. Although Africa is large in size , but the most valuable colonies are in Asia, just like Portugal and England."

After Alan Wilson finished speaking, he explained the forward policy, "We will wait and see and avoid conflicts with India. Once there is a border war, it is not too late to suspend the negotiations. The so-called negotiations are just a move to appease India, Portugal. You can go back at any time.”

It may be that Pika's strategy of establishing a country has greatly increased Salazar's favor. The Portuguese ruler did not refuse. "I am just worried that this will stimulate India's ambitions."

"This time, the UK will conduct armed mediation. First, there will be a naval exercise, and then it will make a call to Portugal and India to sit down and talk. We will discuss it with India first, and Portugal will agree to the situation when the time comes. Negotiations are also You don’t have to start right away, starting in the middle of the year and holding a round of consultations every month, in fact, it’s not difficult if you delay it.”

The Cuban Missile Crisis is only half a year away, and Alan Wilson feels that this difficulty is about equal to one plus one greater than two. When the time comes, let Nehru know that what is meant by this world is about strength after all.

"And also in the middle of the year, Kuala Lumpur will host the Commonwealth Games this time. After the military exercise, it coincides with the opening of the Commonwealth Games, which can be used to bring together Portugal and India and contribute to world peace."

"It seems that the United Kingdom has thought of everything." Salazar sighed with a half-smile, "Well, we will wait for the news, and we will cooperate with the United Kingdom at that time."

"Thanks to the Prime Minister, I promise in my own name that Portugal's interests will never be betrayed. It is also impossible for the UK to force Portugal to do things that go against its own interests."

The Permanent Undersecretary originally wanted to make a guarantee in the name of the United Kingdom, but when he thought about the past of the United Kingdom's offshore balance, it was estimated that the British diplomatic reputation was not as effective as his own reputation, which was embarrassing.

The two also talked about several ways to maintain the colony. Alan Wilson also introduced the experience of the United Kingdom. There is nothing to hide. The United Kingdom is just delaying the time, and France is directly fighting.

Different countries have different national conditions. Salazar did not speak, and he was comparing the British and French methods in his heart to see which one was more suitable for Portugal.

"Actually, the necessary construction of the colony is not a failure. Can building some houses really make the colony develop? Of course not, but these things can confuse the resistance of the colony. We give the people in the capital of the colony A place to live, and we need the funds for local construction.”

"It's better than France making the colonies look like primitive societies and getting nothing out of it."

"The Deputy Secretary turned out to be an expert in this area. If you are Portuguese, you can even try to be the Minister of Colonialism." Salazar said half-truths, "This time the conversation was pleasant."

"I think so too, Mr. Prime Minister." Alan Wilson replied with a smile.

"Actually, I'm more accustomed to being called Mr. Minister." Salazar got up and walked to the window, looking at Lisbon outside. At this time, he felt that it was Salazar's glorious days.

The Revolution of 1910 established the Republic in Portugal. But the nascent democracies are running erratically because of long-standing abuses.

In sixteen years, forty-five cabinets came into power. As the parliamentary system failed to solve domestic problems, in 1926 a military coup broke out in Portugal.

The military governments that came to power in the coup were mostly warriors, and although they won the support of most social classes, they lacked the ability to govern the country.

The budget deficit is 450% of Portugal's income. Under such circumstances, Salazar became the Minister of Finance~lightnovelpub.net~ began to frugal and control inflation, and he succeeded. Such a fruitful performance made Salazar the "savior" of Portugal.

It has to be said that centralized countries are often able to make unexpected achievements in terms of efficiency. This is the case in Portugal under Salazar's rule. Alan Wilson just returned to the manor and was thinking about when to return to China.

Salazar has held a meeting to discuss the issue of establishing the country of Picka, allocating land and building a series of roads. After the meeting, all the principles and issues have been settled.

Faster than Ellen Wilson invited Ms. Ingrid Bergman to take a rocket.

Caetano informed Alan Wilson of the good news, "I believe the permanent secretary is also looking forward to this result."

"Yes, Mr. Caetano, I have achieved my purpose." Alan Wilson replied with the tone of a good fighter, "but it is not Britain's own good, our two countries are good."

If Alan Wilson can't open his mouth, Portugal will really be able to pick up the country. Land Rover currently has no pickups, just the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery. Land Rover found that it was still a shell he made with a writing wheel.

Now that the production line in Malaya has started, and the land is being conquered in Southeast Asia, the Land Rover Discovery must not be changed into a pickup truck. The Land Rover Defender is positioned as a higher-end than the Land Rover Discovery, so it should be changed into a pickup truck?

It is not impossible, but if the Land Rover Defender is sacrificed, a high-end model must be added, and the Land Rover Range Rover is ready to appear at this time. He had to do these things himself, and then he would be able to answer Salazar.

But there is one thing, now that armed mediation can start, the first is to show the military strength in front of the Indians, I, Da Ying, slashed himself, still not something that Tang San, India, can ignore.
