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

If it was him, he would definitely not do this, 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 pondering.

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

"No, I believe the Prime Minister can create a good environment for the car industry."

Alan Wilson smiled. What land use rights, tax exemption or infrastructure construction are all specific issues. Leaders like Salazar are all about one sentence, and there is no need to talk about it in detail. .

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

Joint-venture brand cars are produced in China, but are branded by foreign car companies, such as SAIC Volkswagen and FAW Toyota.

Alan Wilson can hardly think of any particularly powerful models of the joint venture, which can basically be regarded as a model of bad money, not all of them, 90% of which are mud that cannot support the wall.

The market in a big country is so huge, there are always some domestically produced cars that slip through the net.

But Portugal should not have this problem. 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 backfire against the UK.

Portugal's market is too small, and there is no market for 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. Its dependence on the United Kingdom has lasted for hundreds of years, and the Portuguese are used to it.

Borrowing Portugal's geographical location, you can go west to North America and south to North Africa. It's enough to achieve this goal. You can also take advantage of 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 to bite Germany and Japan from behind.

A Malayan colony is not enough to be able to compete with Japan in cars. The population of Malaya is only about 16 million, and these people have been distributed in industries such as iron and steel, oil refining, and Malaya's own tin mining, rubber, and sugar manufacturing.

In Japan, which has 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 is planning to make Malaya unsustainable when the British mainland shipbuilding , 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 may spread to the surrounding areas.

Indonesia does have ample labor force, and the distance is also close, but does Malaya dare to accept these labor forces that want to annex itself at any time? You must know that Sukarno kept chanting the slogan of Great Indonesia.

In a short period of time, the labor force in Malaya has been exhausted. Britain must find another country that can balance the industries of Japan and Germany offshore. This time, Portugal is not as good as the income level of the Malayan colonies. The geographical location of North America, the executive deputy minister has already decided, and Portugal will be the base for industrial offshore balance.

"It's rare for me to appreciate a person so much, Sir Wilson." Salazar didn't seem to laugh often, and his smile was a little weird, "The Portuguese government will definitely fully support the landing of the car production line."

"I think one year is enough time. Portugal prepares factories and plans, and I will discuss with Pamela about the landing of the automobile industry." Alan Wilson said that the topic changed, and Salazar had already agreed on the establishment of the pickup truck. Time to get down to business.

Alan Wilson expounded on the British understanding of the status of Goa, and there are British military bases in Goa. Naturally, the British will not easily return Goa. However, under the premise of the rise of Indian nationalism, the British and Portugal and the two countries should respond smoothly.

"Britain understands France's determination to protect its own interests. More than one million soldiers fighting across the sea are worthy of respect. But unlike France, the colonies of Portugal and Britain are scattered, which involves a lot of energy. Although Africa is large in size , but the most valuable colonies are in Asia, which is the same as Portugal and Britain.”

Alan Wilson explained the forward policy after finishing speaking, "We will wait and see and avoid conflicts with India. Once a border war occurs, it will not be too late to suspend the negotiations. The so-called negotiations are nothing more than a move to appease India. Portugal Feel free to repent at any time."

It may be that Picard'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 instead stimulate India's ambitions."

"This time the UK is conducting armed mediation. First, it will conduct a naval exercise, and then it will make an appearance of calling on Portugal and India to sit down and talk. We will discuss it with India first, and Portugal will just agree to it when the time comes. Negotiations will also happen." There is no need to start right away, starting in the middle of the year, and conducting a round of consultations every month, in fact, it is not difficult to delay the time."

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

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

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

"Thanks to the Prime Minister, I personally guarantee that I will never betray Portugal's interests. It is also impossible for the UK to force Portugal to do things that are against its own interests."

The executive secretary 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 Britain's diplomatic reputation was not as effective as his own reputation, which was embarrassing.

The two then 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 delaying time, and France is directly fighting.

Countries have different national conditions. Salazar didn't speak, but he was comparing the British and French methods in his mind, which one is more suitable for Portugal.

"In fact, some necessary construction of the colony is not considered a failure. Can the construction of 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, the money we need for local construction."

"It's better than France making the colony look like a primitive society and not getting any benefits for itself."

"The executive deputy minister is also an expert in this area. If you are Portuguese, you can even try to be the colonial minister." Salazar said half-truthfully, "This time the conversation is very pleasant."

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

"Actually, I'm more used to being called Mr. Minister." Salazar got up and walked to the window, looking at Lisbon outside, and felt that it was Salazar's glory days.

The revolution of 1910 established a republic in Portugal. However, due to long-standing malpractices, the new democratic regime was not operating smoothly.

There have been forty-five cabinets in power in sixteen years. Due to the failure of the parliamentary system to solve domestic problems, a military coup broke out in Portugal in 1926.

Most of the military governments that came to power in coups were from martial arts backgrounds. Although they won the support of most social classes, they were incapable of governing the country.

The fiscal deficit was 450% of Portugal's income. In this case, Salazar became the Minister of Finance and began to save money to control inflation. He succeeded. Such an effective political performance made Salazar the "savior" of Portugal.

It has to be said that in terms of efficiency, centralized countries are often able to make surprises. This is the case in Portugal ruled by Salazar. Alan Wilson has just returned to the manor and is thinking about when to return home.

Salazar has already held a meeting to talk about the establishment of Picardy, a series of issues related to land allocation and road construction. At the end of the meeting, all issues of principle have been resolved.

It's faster than Alan Wilson inviting Ms. Ingrid Bergman to take a rocket.

Caetano informed Alan Wilson of the good news~lightnovelpub.net~ I believe the executive deputy minister is also looking forward to this result. "

"That's right, Mr. Caetano, I have achieved my goal." Alan Wilson replied in a tone of no illustrious achievements, "but it is not for the benefit of Britain itself, it is for the benefit of both of us."

Alan Wilson can't open his mouth, Portugal will really be able to establish a country with pickup trucks. Land Rover currently has no pickups, only Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery. Land Rover discovered that it was the shell he made with Sharingan.

Now that the production line in Malaya has started, and it is attacking cities 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 vehicle than the Land Rover Discovery, so it should be changed into a pickup truck?

It's not impossible, but if the Land Rover Defender is sacrificed, a high-end model will be added, and the Land Rover Range Rover is ready to come out at this time. He still needs to do these things himself, and then he can give Salazar an answer.

But there is one thing, the armed mediation can start now, the first thing is to show our military strength in front of the Indians, I, Great Britain, killed myself, it is still not something that Tang San in India can ignore.
