British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1274: plot

The latest website: "Even at this time, you still don't have the slightest impression of the Japanese." Pamela Mountbatten bent over and whispered, "Are you worried about being driven from Hong Kong to India?"

Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband did not work in India, but fled to India, which is why the following series of things happened.

"Doesn't the marshal hate Japan too?" Alan Wilson said, don't just talk about me, isn't your father, the head of the British military, the same? But the topic was boring to delve into, so I asked how the car production line in Portugal was doing, and whether it was welcomed.

After receiving satisfactory feedback from his wife, Alan Wilson said, "Considering the value-added assessment of the British industry, if Land Rover is a British industry, but it creates value for other countries, then the driving effect on the United Kingdom will not be. Big, you must be careful about this. The core of the industry chain must be local.”

Take Peak Japan as an example, there is almost nothing in Japan, and the local resources can only play the role of specimens except for forestry. In fact, there is only one way in front of Japan. It is a manufacturing powerhouse. In fact, the same is true for South Korea. A large country can also rely on local resources to buffer it. Japan and South Korea cannot do this.

In Japan at its peak, more than 95 percent of the added value was in Japan's own industries, with exports of $100 and more than $90 of spare parts kept in Japan.

Manufacturing is fate for Japan. The root cause of the depreciation of the yen is Japan's manufacturing industry. Only the automobile industry is left. The previous home appliances, monitors, shipbuilding, and even steel have all collapsed.

The rest of the auto industry is hard to support, and even the parts used in many cars are no longer made in Japan, and the added value left to Japan has become 80%.

Don't underestimate the difference of fifteen dollars. The significance of the fifteen dollars determines whether Japan can maintain the balance of imports and exports.

Early in Alan Wilson's last life, Japan was known as America in the trumpet. At that time, a certain major country did not dare to refute the United States from its position of strength. Even facing Japan, it felt that the other party was unattainable. In many networks in the first decade of the 21st century, Japan's presence was very high.

Then, over time, the impression of Japan has also changed from the small United States to the large South Korea, and even online writers are reluctant to regard this country as a villain.

On the basis of Japan and South Korea, once the manufacturing industry can't hold back, the speed of decline in the two countries may be beyond people's imagination. Is there only one way to surpass Japan and South Korea is growth, and they can also find ways to make the other side fall.

With the current military strength of the United Kingdom, it is definitely not on a par with the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is not a problem to pretend to be a big brother in front of Portugal. The United Kingdom needs Portugal's influence in Africa to help enter the independent countries of North Africa, as well as the colonies of Portugal in South Africa. , it is not impossible to separate some additional value for this.

With such a small Portuguese population, there is no possibility of backlash, but it cannot allow too much profit. The distribution of Range Rover in mainland China, Discovery in Portugal, and Aurora in Malaya cannot be changed.

The Middle East and North Africa are also the places where Japanese pickup trucks are flooded in later generations. Now Pamela Mountbatten has entered through Portugal's geographical advantage and blocked the Japanese car market in advance.

As for American cars, don't worry for the time being. All kinds of American cars are firmly moving towards the goal of full-size SUVs. Larger size and higher horsepower are the goals pursued by American cars.

If it weren't for this, American cars would not have been beaten down by Japan, and they would have been stolen when they were bigger and stronger.

A full-size SUV is an SUV with a length of more than five meters and a wheelbase of more than three meters. The Land Rover Range Rover is small and exquisite in it, and the main market is the United States.

With a population of 50 million in the UK, it only needs to have a place in some industries, and it is not necessary to step on Toyota and Volkswagen.

The cabinet secretary chose semiconductors, high-end automobiles and special shipbuilding for the British mainland, plus North Sea oil, and the financial industry, plus the currently considerable military industry including aerospace is enough to take care of the British population.

By the way, there is also nuclear power. Pamela Mountbatten arrived in Portugal this time, and also negotiated a nuclear power export project for the UK. Portugal is poor and cannot think like Australia that nuclear power is inferior to thermal power. The UK is willing to help. , the Salazar government readily agreed to use Britain's nuclear power technology to solve the country's energy problems.

In the past few months, because of the Tokyo Bay incident and the sinking of the American aircraft carrier by North Vietnamese frogmen, the United States is not unresponsive, and the United States has sent 7,000 troops to South Vietnam to stabilize the situation. The US military in South Vietnam has reached the scale of 23,000, but because the election is approaching, Lyndon Johnson should not go too far, and bigger moves will not appear until he is re-elected.

"It would be great if China and the Soviet Union split." When discussing the situation in Southeast Asia this time, Defense Minister Profumo was impressed. He felt that the place in South Vietnam was too close to the bamboo curtain. The steady stream of support from North Vietnam was too difficult.

"Minister, there may be no way to do it in a short time." Alan Wilson lied without blushing, no way, he had a good child with Xia Meng, and he was ready to return to the Far East as much as possible. At that time, the sons of the two were just adults, and they could shoulder greater hopes.

Through the channels of the Five Eyes Alliance, Alan Wilson knew that Washington was not unaware of the current divisions within the Soviet bloc.

However, the professional opinions obtained after the analysis of many experts. He came to the most professional conclusion that it is impossible for these two countries to fall out completely, just like the UK and France will not really fall out with the United States no matter how much they fight.

Any sensible decision-making level cannot do such an irrational thing. Put yourself in the shoes and think that falling out is all bad. How can something that is not good happen?

Alan Wilson came to the most unequivocal conclusion when he learned about American professionals, and immediately apologized for his ignorance, or how could the United States be the leader of the free world? He was right, how could they fall out? Under normal circumstances is absolutely impossible.

It's just that the American counterparts forgot that the system was different, and the Soviet system led to an inevitable period of irrationality.

The Slavs, the main ethnic group in the Soviet Union, are notorious for their diode thinking. The predecessor Emperor Russia was a famous expansionist, but for the sake of the Orthodox brothers, he did not hesitate to launch the Russo-Turkish war, for Serbia to join the world war, and in order to alleviate the disadvantage of France, he launched an attack on Germany when he was not ready to mobilize.

While the Soviet Union was hostile to the United States and coerced Europe, it continued to help other nations build industrial systems, and tens of billions of dollars to support the construction of allies, all of which happened during the same period.

The big brother thinks that I am enough to let you in, and the little brother still feels dissatisfied, which has led to some things that the two countries would not allow them to appear under normal circumstances.

In the 21st century, it is obvious that a major country has learned a lesson. In fact, diode thinking is not difficult to deal with.

Originally Russia was very pro-Western, but the process of NATO's eastward expansion was accompanied by stepping on Russia's dignity, let alone saying a few good words to appease, and even unwilling to write empty checks, which led to Russia's once-strong pro-Western ideology. Turn off the flame completely.

Isn't the Belt and Road Initiative expanding in Russia's traditional sphere of influence? In fact, it is not different in nature from the eastward expansion of NATO, and Russia itself is also very vigilant.

But a big country has been chanting scriptures with Russia. This is a good thing for both countries. It is useless for one time, and it is useless for a year. In the past ten years, compared with the behavior of the European side, Russia has accepted it.

Since the Slavs have a good face, it is enough for a major country to take the second place in the tank competition. Anyway, the industries of the two countries do not conflict, it is just a good face.

While the two were talking, it was the second day after the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, and while the world was paying attention and talking about the Tokyo Olympics, the Soviet Union's first secretary, Khrushchev, was recuperating in Sochi on the Black Sea. The committee members, the promises made at the meeting, that he would retire in two years, in 1966, and that he would also elect a formal successor.

However, in Khrushchev's mind, although Brezhnev was in the position of the second secretary, he always felt that he was not so satisfied. Even though he was recuperating, Khrushchev was still thinking about this matter.

Moscow at this time is not as warm as the suitable dark shore. The two figures walk side by side. Shelepin first asked, "Are they all ready? Sherest will agree? Once Ukraine expresses its firm support, will we not? likely to succeed."

"According to Khrushchev's statement~lightnovelpub.net~, he is also an old man when he is fifty-five years old." Brezhnev said, "Of course age is not a problem, Schulich, the key is that he wants to Expel the experienced cadres and take matters into his own hands. But in fact, he has made many mistakes in recent years. While making mistakes, he has acted arbitrarily, and no one can stop him."

Sherepin nodded in approval, and Brezhnev said to himself, "Our colleagues have high hopes for us, and have correctly understood our difficulties, Suslov, Podgorny. , Sherester understands the root cause of the problems encountered by the motherland at present."

Sherepin is not very old, and Brezhnev knew that the age issue could not touch this very trusted senior cadre. On the one hand, Brezhnev did not hide the fact that his age caused panic to many people. On the other hand, it emphasized Khrushchev's mistakes, and actively sought Shelepin's opinion, "Schulich, what do you think we should do now?"

"If we are ready, we should ask the first secretary to return to Moscow and formally express our views when we are sure."
