v2 Chapter 1235: sunset industry

The Free Officers Organization, after several failures, is more and more on par with the organizational model of the Muslim Brotherhood. Many Arab countries are aware of the existence of this organization, and even think it is an organization supported by the Soviet Union.

Whether it is really supported by the Soviet Union is not important, the British think it is, and spread public opinion in this regard.

There is still a nose and an eye. The Free Officers Organization was trained in Syria, the pro-Soviet base camp in the Middle East.

This can prove to the reactionary Arab feudal forces that the Soviets are really here to hang your street lights. In this world, the Soviet Union wants to kill you, and the United States cannot be trusted. Only Britain, which is also a monarchy, is your reliable reliance.

Coincidentally, Alan Wilson is still talking about Britain's Middle East policy with Dixon, "Our policy in the Middle East has two points. The bottom line is that Egypt should not become an anti-British country. The sense of presence in Oman, these small chiefs are rich in resources and easy to control, and Jordan and Iraq, which have good strength, we adopt a cooperative relationship and treat them as regional powers like the Kingdom of Egypt.”

The current British withdrawal from Yemen means that the British troops in Aden will be withdrawn to the Persian Gulf, the Middle East Joint Operations Command will be in Bahrain, the Persian Gulf Commissioner will be in Qatar, and bases will be established in Kuwait and Oman to complete the deployment of British troops in the Persian Gulf. .

Under this contraction, the importance of Yemen has been greatly reduced, and Socotra Island has been selected as a place to balance Yemen's offshore.

Then, to the east of the Suez Canal, the British arrangement has become the Middle East and Far East Joint Command, the former in Qatar and the latter in Singapore, to maintain Britain's world influence.

After passing the Suez Canal, the places that are still controlled or partially influenced by the United Kingdom are Aden, the Persian Gulf base with Qatar as the core, Goa jointly operated with Portugal, British Malaya, and Hong Kong.

Dixon expressed no objection. Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler also believed that this arrangement preserved the traditional influence of the United Kingdom to the greatest extent. With the energy base in the Middle East and the two largest markets in the world, it is necessary to maintain the situation as much as possible. Best option for the UK.

"It's really gratifying that the minister thinks so." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, and then asked, "The twice-yearly meeting of the European Community's foreign ministers has been held. Regarding the manipulation of Japan's exchange rate, we must try our best to communicate with member states. Reach an agreement. If necessary, let the Germans go first. The most important thing is to win the understanding attitude of the French."

"Secretary-General, is Algeria controlled by France?" Dixon lowered his voice. Since France controlled Algeria, things have become complicated. Does that count as local?

"We and the French can talk about the terms of exchange. If the French think that Algeria should have the treatment of the French mainland, then they must recognize the royal territories of Malaya and Rhodesia, and have the same status as Algeria. But this is not suitable for publicity. It is best to wait until the independence of the Dutch and Portuguese colonies before discussing this matter in the European Community. Our current goal is to understand each other in private."

This is not just a matter of Britain and France. If it is a colony, what about Portugal and the Netherlands? Should the two countries be treated equally? Two countries controlling the European Community is enough, but two more?

Therefore, the Algeria issue is more suitable for London and Paris to reach a consensus in private, rather than discuss it on stage.

Alan Wilson believes that the French are also unwilling to see this happen. How can Portugal and Holland be treated on an equal footing with Britain and France?

Fighting for Rhodesia and Malaya does not mean fighting for other colonies that have not yet become independent. Alan Wilson really built Malaya into his own country. He is sorry for other places, but it is definitely interesting for Malaya.

Now that the half-life of the British Empire is in Malaya, this is not an exaggeration at all. Malaya has broken away from the colonial system established by the United Kingdom and has a higher status than the former British India.

In the former British Empire, except for the British mainland that had the industrial capacity to fight and resist, the other colonies were the source of raw materials. When there was nothing to do, the colonies were harvested, but if something happened, they had to wait for the mainland to come to the rescue.

British India was nothing more than a human shield at first, and now Malaya has almost become a community of interests. Don't think that Malaya has no responsibilities at this point. If something really happened, the local area must cooperate with the UK to kill people.

There are only these two things that Britain thinks are important. It accuses Japan of manipulating the exchange rate, counteracts it with the same tariffs that Japan closed its home market, and then secretly talks with France about mutual recognition of interests.

Dixon opened his mouth and obviously felt that there was something else. Alan Wilson tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ireland has a voice to join the European Community." Dixon said cautiously, "It's just a voice."

"Then pretend that there is no voice, their voice is irrelevant, but now that we know it." Alan Wilson pondered for a while when he said this, "It is said that countries with territorial disputes are not suitable for joining the European Community. Let's not talk about it, find someone The state says we have a good relationship with Salazar, let the Portuguese speak for us."

"Eh? Alright!" Dixon thought to himself, did the supreme authority come from the nineteenth century? He really always took the attitude of killing small countries.

Dixon must have misunderstood. Not only did Alan Wilson dare to threaten small countries, he even threatened to organize Chinese to go to Africa to massacre cities. He dared to do so if he dared to have ambitions for Malaya.

With the best wishes of Prime Minister Eden and Cabinet Secretary Allen Wilson, Dixon accompanied the Foreign Secretary and arrived in loyal Brussels to talk about the first meeting related to European independence.

Regarding the fact that Japan is a semi-closed market and engaged in trade protection, Britain and France quickly reached a consensus.

But it is not enough for Britain and France to reach a consensus. If Germany does not agree with Japan's judgment on trade protection, then Germany should be added to the country that conducts trade protection.

"Don't put your mind on Germany." Anna put her hands on the man's shoulders, "Do you think I'm easy to bully, I think I should call my sister over here, and see how you explain."

"Honey, you misunderstood. I don't have the slightest prejudice against Germany. I just hope that Europe will unite." Alan Wilson snorted and explained with a hippie smile.

"I didn't see it at all, you are good to Germany." Anna held the man's face and whispered closely.

With a kiss on the red lips, Alan Wilson denied the woman's accusation, "Germany and Japan are different, Germany is an integral part of Europe, how could it be the same."

Can you say that Shanghai is the same as a third-tier city? No, this world is so unfair. How many times have things happened between my citizen Mr. Zhao and the suspect Zhao in Northeast China. Has anything changed? No!

Although Germany is also deliberately laissez-faire by the United States, Germany is a member of Europe, and Japan is different. Japan can be dissatisfied, but who asked you to have such a position.

"If Japan's statistics and growth rate fall below 6% next year, it will not be considered a loss if the price of food in the international market rises this time." Alan Wilson, who put on his shirt, stood up and showed himself with a smile, " If it can be maintained for three to five years, it means that Japan’s economy has been contained. Although I hope this is the reality of the future, it may not be so easy.”

"This is also good for you Germany. France has Algeria and half of Africa. Britain has the Commonwealth and Middle East influence. The Malaya industrial base. The base of Germany and Japan is the same. The difference is that the remaining three islands of Japan Already extremely dependent on the international market, some resources in Germany are self-sufficient, and there is no shortage of food next to France."

"Keep the Japanese economy from overheating and develop steadily, which is also beneficial to Germany. Everyone has a bright future."

"This time Krupp has a business crisis, you have to help us." Anna dressed neatly, "With your help, the acquisition will be easy."

"The loan is on me, but to be honest, the steel industry is already a sunset industry. Not only Germany, but also the US steel industry has declined in the face of competition from the Japanese steel industry. Can you compete with the Kuching steel base? The truth is that it is unlikely.” Alan Wilson’s very conservative suggestion is that it is best to wait and see, and don’t make judgments so hastily, “Look at the attitude of the Bonn government. If Krupp is allowed to solve the problem by himself, then we will talk It’s not too late to buy.”

Extensive development is no longer suitable for Europe, not to mention Germany, the UK has also experienced a decline in the profits of the local steel industry~lightnovelpub.net~ Well said! "Little Dragoon Anna muttered, sitting on a chair near the desk, while re-reading a boring report published in the Internet, while yawning profusely.

That report was about yesterday's blustery nonsense. More than half of the surrounding trading desks are empty; some people are away on business, some are on vacation, and telephones and securities bills are scattered on the desks that no one cares about.

The rest of the place is also chaotic and messy. The office feels more like a library than a deal room.

Looking out of the window, the gray tall buildings of the City of London stood silently, pointing to the sky; the streets below were filled with sleepy heat. A kestrel circles the roof of the Chamber of Commerce Insurance Building.

The famous financial center has fallen into a dormant state, and it is hard to believe what is happening in that sleeping world.

Anna, who had just undergone intense exercise, stretched her body long, showing her beautiful curves to the fullest, thinking about how to explain to Pokina that a man of the same status as her husband judged that the Krupp family is not at the end, and now it is time to talk about acquisitions. The facts of losing money.
