"For things in the Americas, we still have to follow the advice of the Americans and mainly adopt a soft attitude to do things. When necessary, we can release some positive signals."

What is the value of the Falklands actually? It can't be said that there is no one at all, but it is indeed of little value.

Although later generations say that there are certain natural resource reserves, they don't even know if they have mining value. Just like Russian natural gas helps the European industry, American natural gas can only increase the cost of European industry. What if it is uneconomical to extract it?

The Falklands War was nothing more than a product of conflicts shifted by two leaders who were pressured by public opinion in the country. Don’t look at Mrs. Thatcher being re-elected several times, but when privatization was carried out, the wave of protests she faced was not at all compared to the United States in the 1970s Even smaller, there are countless Britons celebrating until the news of the death.

From this point of view, the Falkland Islands should be kept for now, and the method of shelving disputes should be adopted to let it hang out. Maybe it will be useful in the future.

The means of operation are not difficult for the UK. First of all, it is necessary to shape the ideological stamp that the UK will not use force because of the Falklands and Argentina. After the vast majority of Argentines know this. Argentine patriots need to hold the national flag to express their patriotism. Alan Wilson will naturally guide the British local public opinion to continue to let it go.

Speaking of it, there are still many steps, but it is not difficult. If there is no Argentine patriot, he can hire a passionate young man out of his own pocket. As for controlling local public opinion at the beginning, it is also very simple.

While the two were discussing the cold treatment of the Falklands issue, Frank, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, pushed the door away, "Sir, are you calling me?"

"Oh, Frank, we are all colleagues, don't call them so strange." Alan Wilson pointed to another chair with a smile, and asked when the other party sat down, "About Turing, the president of the Royal Interstellar Society and the chairman of the Semiconductor Society. Sir, the issue of the required financial subsidies. The Ministry of Finance needs to show an attitude and advance with a professional spirit. Is there any problem?"

"In fact, the Ministry of Finance has never appreciated such things as subsidies. Of course, the Secretary-General is concerned about this issue, and we will implement it." Frank stepped back tactically, "Let me convince my colleagues."

"The basic rule of the Ministry of Finance is to be honest if you are weak, and to be smart if you want to play tricks." Alan Wilson said with a slight smile, "Is that so?"

"It's like treating workers. They must not be allowed to do whatever they want, otherwise it will not be a good thing for the country." Frank changed the subject when he said this, "But since Her Royal Highness's husband is benefiting the society, we believe that the semiconductor's financial Subsidies and Galileo grants? No problem."

"The attitude of the Ministry of Finance is reassuring." Alan Wilson scratched his scalp and seemed to let go of the boulder in his heart. "This year's international situation is unstable. We must be careful. To protect our interests overseas, make The right decision, no question, it's tough."

"Japan's industrial competition? By the way, the Tokyo Olympics will start next month, and the Secretary-General's wife should be quite busy now." Frank said that this meant something, and it was another good opportunity for Newfoundland. Behind the carnival of Newfoundland residents, there are other beneficiaries, "By the way, where has Madam been in the past few days? I didn't hear the Secretary-General mentioning it."

"Going to Lisbon, as for Japan? Huh!" Allen Wilson said disapprovingly, "Except for tens of millions of so-called demographic dividends, Japan has nothing to pay attention to. They think they can stand up through economic rise? Then let We'll wait and see. But President Park Chung-hee of South Korea should be a ruthless character."

In Alan Wilson's previous life, the growth process was the process of Japan's continuous decline. In fact, as long as the United States is a little stricter, Japan will not be able to reach the status of its previous life.

Geographically speaking, Japan in the Cold War lost its original market and source of raw materials, that is, a certain big country. The southward strategy that Japan later adopted was the so-called wild goose strategy.

Just look at how far the mainland of Japan is from Southeast Asia to know whether this strategy is reliable. In the Far East, China, the Soviet Union and North Korea are all hostile camps, and South Korea, which is next to Japan, has worse basic conditions than Japan.

If Japan's goose-type strategy hits the center of Malaya and blossoms, Malaya will have advantages in most areas except for its population disadvantage. Originally there was no Malaya in history, but now there is…

This colony is tailor-made for Japan and South Korea, and it is also a kind of Asia-Pacific rebalancing in a sense.

With his supreme authority, the climbing of Japan and South Korea will be full of thorns, but Alan Wilson still thinks this is a good thing, isn't there a saying? No pain No gain.

As long as Park Chung-hee dares to send troops and exchange Korean blood for support, the United States will definitely benefit South Korea.

The so-called overseas has a Japanese saying, just listen to it. The person who said this may not know that the overseas investment of a certain big country is estimated to be 8 trillion to 10 trillion US dollars, and it is not just Japan.

The tricks of freezing foreign exchange and confiscating assets that were originally used on Russia were not prepared for Russia at all. What problems Russia's hundreds of billions of property can solve are not enough for the United States to fill in the holes.

Who would count overseas investment on themselves? The UK has been the largest capital exporter for decades since World War II. If this is the case, isn’t the UK so powerful that it cannot be estimated?

But as a matter of fact, British public opinion has completely followed that of the United States recently. Although there is a reason for this, the female president plugged the pound, what people see is that British public opinion dances with the United States, and the voice of war in the United States is loud To put it bluntly, the British media thinks that the United States is invincible, and the United States says to be calm, so the British media is full of Viet Cong.

At least in terms of public opinion, the United Kingdom has now bowed to the United States, but it has not forgotten to quickly develop the semiconductor and Galileo projects. Both projects are in cooperation with the French.

Taking advantage of Indonesia's discoloration and the opportunity to build an aircraft carrier for Australia, launching a new type of aircraft carrier is also to enhance its own united front value. Don't let the United States take advantage of the Vietnam War, and then set its mind on the United Kingdom. It is not that there are no bullies, such as Latin America and Japan.

After the two senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance left, Makins, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense, also came. The life of the cabinet secretary is so simple and boring.

Makins came this time to explain that the first steel plate was cut for the new aircraft carrier customized for the Australian Navy. Aircraft are more worthy of relying on, or anti-ship missiles."

"Huh?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth. This is really a difficult question. After thinking about it, "For Britain, the aircraft carrier battle group should be more important."

The ideas of the United States and the Soviet Union for confrontation at sea are also completely different. The Soviet Union's army building idea is the idea of ​​arsenal ships, and the United States is the traditional idea of ​​aircraft carrier battle groups. When the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, it cannot be argued that the Soviet Union's arsenal ship was wrong just because the Soviet Union was a loser in the Cold War.

This is the old warships in Russia to deny the cutting-edge warships of the Soviet Red Navy at that time.

After the development of several generations of anti-ship missiles, the Soviet Union has increased the range of anti-ship missiles to 550 to 750 kilometers.

What is the combat radius of the American Super Hornet fighter? Seven hundred kilometers! The combat radius of carrier-based aircraft is far worse than that of land-based fighters. Facing the Soviet Red Navy in the 1970s, the U.S. Navy simply couldn’t do that because you couldn’t hit me, and I could hit you. That’s why Aegis developed.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the arsenal fleet seems to have suffered a complete defeat, and the advanced productivity aircraft carrier battle group represented by the United States seems to have dominated the world.

However, several countries have tested hypersonic missiles one after another. In particular, a certain major country has put anti-ship ballistic missiles on warships called destroyers but defined by NATO as cruisers, and suddenly increased the range of anti-ship missiles to more than 1,000 kilometers, proving that This kind of debate is not over yet. The carrier-based version of the F35 has a combat radius of just over 1,000 kilometers.

So Maggins asked such a question, how would Alan Wilson answer? How does he know which of the two factions is more reasonable? It is much easier to increase the range of the missile, and the missile does not need to consider the return journey.

The difficulty of anti-ship missiles is that they do not know where the enemy is. After all, it is more than 500 kilometers, and it is more difficult to find enemy warships than to increase the range.

"For the United Kingdom, the aircraft carrier battle group is important." Alan Wilson waited until Maggins left, recalling what he just said. There is nothing wrong with it. How much would it cost to replace all the platforms that were built with great difficulty? Don't say that the UK can't afford it, and neither can the US.

Pamela Mountbatten went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to attend the completion ceremony of the Land Rover production line. Together with Salazar, she delivered a speech on New Portugal, praising the alliance between Britain and Portugal that had been established during the Spanish Armada.

Portugal expressed great enthusiasm for the completion of the Land Rover production line ~lightnovelpub.net~, the poorest country in Western Europe, finally waited for the conscience discovery of the British ally.

The Land Rover production line settled in Portugal, which shows that the British ability to deal with the weak is still there. The Portuguese are rejoicing, but this is not a big event internationally. In October, the Tokyo Olympics will open. This is also a Newfoundland resident. Days of eager anticipation.

On the same day, Emperor Showa came to the opening ceremony to announce the opening of the eighteenth Olympic Games. The National Stadium, which can accommodate 75,000 spectators, was packed, and the Self-Defense Forces flew jets to paint the Olympic rings in the sky.

When "Atomic Bomb Boy" Sakai Yoshinori trotted into the venue with the Olympic torch in hand, the audience stood up and paid their respects in silence. This 19-year-old Japanese college student was born in the suburbs of Hiroshima on the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It was the first time that an Asian country hosted the Olympic Games. It was not only a grand event in Asia, but also a grand event in Japan.

"Maybe the Japanese are very proud?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was watching TV with her husband at home, teasingly said to her husband, "Can you use Malaya to contain Japan?"

"Then who knows, just like I don't know if Japan will eat nuclear bombs again in the future." Alan Wilson grinned, "We'll see!"
