v2 Chapter 1235: sunset industry

The Free Officers Organization, after several failures, became more and more similar to the organizational model of the Muslim Brotherhood. Many Arab countries are aware of the existence of this organization, and even consider it a Soviet-backed organization.

It doesn't matter whether it was really supported by the Soviet Union or not. The British thought it was, and they spread public opinion in this regard.

Speaking of those who have noses and eyes, the Free Officers Organization was trained by Syria, the pro-Soviet base camp in the Middle East.

In this way, we can prove to the reactionary feudal forces in Arabia that the Soviets really came to hang your street lights. In this world, the Soviet Union will kill you, and the United States cannot be trusted. Only the United Kingdom, which is also a monarchy, can be your reliable support.

Coincidentally, Alan Wilson is also talking with Dixon about Britain's policy in the Middle East. "Our policy in the Middle East has two points. The bottom line is that Egypt cannot become an anti-British home. Oman has a sense of existence, these small chiefs have rich resources and are easy to control, and Jordan and Iraq, which have good strength, have adopted cooperative relations and treated them as regional powers like the Kingdom of Egypt."

The current British withdrawal from Yemen means withdrawing the British troops in Aden to the Persian Gulf, placing the Middle East Joint Operations Command in Bahrain, the Persian Gulf Commission in Qatar, and setting up bases 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 has been selected as an offshore balance to Yemen.

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

After passing through the Suez Canal, there are still places under British control or partial influence, namely Aden, the Persian Gulf base with Qatar as the core, Goa jointly operated with Portugal, British Malaya and Hong Kong.

Dixon said there was 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, try to maintain the situation as much as possible. The best option for the UK.

"It's really gratifying that the minister thinks so." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, and then asked, "The bi-annual European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting has been held. Regarding the manipulation of Japan's exchange rate, we must try our best to communicate with member countries as much as possible. Reach an agreement... if necessary, let the Germans go first. The most important thing is to win the understanding of the French."

"Secretary-General, Algeria controlled by France?" Dixon lowered his voice. Since France controlled Algeria, things have become more complicated. Does it count as homeland?

"We can talk to the French about quid pro quo. If the French believe that Algeria should be treated like the French mainland, then they must recognize Malaya and Rhodesian royal territories, and have the same status as Algeria. However, this is not suitable for publicity. It is good to wait until after the independence of the Dutch and Portuguese colonies, it is suitable to talk about this in the European Community. The goal of our current struggle is to understand each other in private."

This is not only a matter of Britain and France, but also Portugal and the Netherlands if it is considered a colony? Should the two countries be treated equally? Tired of two countries controlling the EC, plus 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 do not want to see such a situation. 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 the soil. He is sorry for other places, but he is absolutely interesting to Malaya.

Now that 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, which had the industrial capacity to fight and resist, the other colonies were the source of raw materials. When there was nothing, the colonies were the places to be harvested.

British India was just a meat shield at the beginning, and now Malaya has almost become a community of interests. Don't think that at this stage, Malaya has no responsibility at all. If something really happened, the local must join the British to kill people.

The only two things that the UK thinks are important are these two things. They accuse Japan of currency manipulation, counteract it with the same tariffs that Japan closed its home market, and then secretly discuss the issue of mutual recognition of interests with France.

Dixon opened his mouth, obviously thinking there was something else, Alan Wilson tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

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

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

Gu Jiao

"Eh? Okay!" Dixon thought, whether the supreme authority came from the nineteenth century, and has always adopted an attitude of killing small countries.

Dixon must have misunderstood. Alan Wilson not only dared to threaten small countries, but he also threatened to organize Chinese people to go to Africa to slaughter cities, and dared to have ambitions in Malaya, so he dared to do so, what's the big deal, isn't it just smashing the pot?

With the best wishes of Prime Minister Aiden and Cabinet Secretary Alan Wilson, Dixon accompanied the Foreign Secretary to the loyal Brussels to discuss the number of meetings related to European independence.

Regarding the fact that Japan is a semi-closed market and has 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 recognize the judgment of trade protection against Japan, then the country that implements trade protection must add another Germany.

"Don't put your mind on Germany." Anna put her hands on the man's shoulders, "Is it because I am easy to bully? I think I should ask my sister to come over and see how you explain it."

"Dear, you misunderstood. I have no prejudice against Germany at all, I just want European unity." 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.

Kissing the red lips, Alan Wilson denied the woman's accusation, "Germany and Japan are different, Germany is an indispensable part of Europe, how can it be the same."

Can you say that the magic capital is the same as a third-tier city? No, the world is so unfair. How many times has the incident between Mr. Zhao, a citizen, and the suspect, Zhao from Northeast China. Has it changed? no!

Although Germany is also the United States is deliberately letting go, but Germany is a European native, Japan is different, Japan can be dissatisfied, but who asked you to have such a position.

"If Japan's statistics and growth fall below 6% next year, this time the grain price increase in the international market will not be a loss." Alan Wilson, who put on a shirt, stood up and smiled to himself. " If it can be maintained for three to five years, it means that Japan's economy has been contained. Although I hope this is a fact in the future, it may not be so easy."

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

"Let the Japanese economy not overheat and develop steadily is also beneficial to Germany, and everyone has a bright future."

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

"The loan is covered by me, but to be honest, the steel industry is already a sunset industry~lightnovelpub.net~ Not only in Germany, but also in the face of competition in the Japanese steel industry, the US steel industry has also declined. You can compete Have you ever passed the Kuching Steel Base? The truth is unlikely.” Alan Wilson’s very conservative suggestion, it’s better to wait and see, don’t judge in such a hurry, “Look at the attitude of the Bonn government, if you let Krupp solve it yourself Problem, it's not too late to talk about acquisitions."

Extensive development is no longer suitable for Europe, let alone Germany, the United Kingdom has also experienced a decline in the profits of the local steel industry.

"Nice to say!" Little Dragoon Anna muttered, sitting on a chair near the desk, yawning while re-reading a boring report published on .

That report was about a bluff that made no sense yesterday. More than half of the trading desks around were empty; some people were out on business, some were on vacation, and telephones and securities bills were scattered on the countertops that no one cared about.

Elsewhere, it's chaotic and messy. The office feels like a library rather than a trading room.

Looking out the window, the gray buildings in the City of London stand silently, pointing straight into the sky; the streets below are filled with drowsy heat. A tea falcon is soaring around the roof of the Chamber of Commerce Insurance Building.

The famous financial center has fallen into a state of dormancy, and it is hard to believe what is going on in that sleepy world.

Anna, who had just gone through intense exercise, stretched her long body and showed her graceful curves to the fullest, thinking about how to explain to Botkina, a man of the same status as her husband, judged that the Krupp family had not come to an end. The fact of losing money.
