"This is really an astronomical figure!" Pamela Mountbatten was startled and gave her husband a true reflection of the current situation.

"Actually, it's okay. It doesn't mean that Japan will return to 1945, but it's definitely not easy. It's stuck in a very uncomfortable range." Alan Wilson shook the wine glass in his hand, and then pushed it in front of his wife, meaning Obviously, it should be celebrated.

At this time in late 1953, this figure was, of course, unquestionably huge, and this was the age of the gold standard. It is not that when the United States turns on the nuclear-powered money printing machine as soon as its eyes are closed, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as genuine silver.

However, it is not entirely true to say that Japan is directly kneeling. Although the indemnity figure has reached one-sixth of the country's economic size, it is paid in five years, with an average of 700 million US dollars per year.

Although this figure will make the Japanese government very uncomfortable, it will not directly bring down the Japanese economy. Alan Wilson also doesn't want Japan to fall into disrepair. After all, the blockade of the Soviet Union still needs this cannon fodder.

But Japan's economy is too strong, and he really can't fight with Malaya's 10 million people and 80 million social animals.

In view of this, he has been using his wife Pamela Mountbatten's public opinion power to incite Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands to support the Philippines, and deduct some benefits from Japan through the Philippines, which has always wanted to claim compensation.

To date, dealing with Japan is a small achievement. From 1945 to the present, Alan Wilson has witnessed the incorporation of Hokkaido into the Soviet Union, Japan's early establishment of the Self-Defense Forces, and this reparations talks.

The loss of Hokkaido will promote Japan's increasing dependence on foreign countries, and the Self-Defense Forces will put pressure on Japan's finances, which is not very strong. And this time the indemnity has caused a lot of bleeding in Japan.

There are also hidden dangers. Japan may expect the United States to speed up industrial transfer. After all, just a textile industry may not allow Japan to get enough economic development. Now the Soviet Union is not unable to reach Honshu Island, and Japan is far less safe than in history.

It is really possible for the United States to transfer industries to Japan early, so whether the indemnity this time is a good thing or a bad thing will have to pass the test of time, and we cannot make a judgment so quickly.

As for further estimates, such as whether the United States will use the Plaza Accord to clean up Japan. This incident has nothing to do with Japan. The fundamental reason depends on whether there will be problems with the US economy. As long as the US economy has problems, history repeating itself is simply a matter of thought.

He took back the wine glass with his wife's lip print and drank half of the wine. Alan Wilson asked in a low voice, "This is the power of the country after all, so don't think too much about it. After all, your current wealth has this number. a fraction of it?"

"No!" Pamela Mountbatten shook her head directly, but immediately added, "I'm talking about British pounds."

Alan Wilson shrank his pupils and whistled directly, "£580 million? That's amazing."

"It's far, less than half." Pamela Mountbatten said honestly, "The money is not all mine, but belongs to many, many families and companies, as well as major banks."

Alan Wilson nodded. Since the end of the war in 1945, Britain has been the largest exporter of capital every year. Foreign investment is an astronomical figure, and there is nothing he can do about it.

He was just guiding the surging capital to a place where he felt safe by helping the Mountbatten family. For example, in Australia, Newfoundland fills up quickly because of its sparse population, which is also impossible.

"Financial power needs industry as the foundation. When my layout in Malaya is completed and the British capital takes root in Malaya, it doesn't matter whether I am a commissioner or not, and any commissioner will also help you and your back. The big aristocrats, big banks and companies serve.”

Alan Wilson stretched his back when he said this, and talked about his views on industrial competition within Asia. Expressed cautious optimism for the development of Malaya!

Japan is not invincible in industry, and at no time has Japan climbed to the top of a certain field. This trend in semiconductors was interrupted by the United States.

The vast majority of Japanese industries are nothing but the best mid-range products. By virtue of its early start, it has established itself in the field of mid-end products, providing the world with products of lower quality and cheaper than European and American products.

In the field of high-end technology, in the face of large filters jointly arranged by Europe and the United States, there is no possibility of breaking through.

This is not to say that Japan is not strong enough. With a population of more than 100 million, Japan can still achieve an advantage in the face of any European country. The comparison of countries is not only high-end.

"If the UK wants to be in the same order as the US and the Soviet Union, the current population is not enough, and it needs a reliable place to help the UK to complete the production of mid-end products?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband, In conclusion, "Is that what it means?"

"It may not just help the UK, Australia and New Zealand are not suitable for manufacturing." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Australia is a mine, and New Zealand can live a good life if it can make a difference in agriculture and animal husbandry. The one who needs Malaya the most is Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets controls many good places, but the best colonies are the first to become independent.”

Pamela Mountbatten's mouth twitched, she knew her husband was talking about America. The United Kingdom is already unique among the island countries. Coal and steel are not inferior to ordinary land countries, and even more than many countries of the same size.

But compared to who is this unique, it is fortunate that Germany and France are both lacking an important resource, and the coal and iron are in each other's hands, otherwise the United Kingdom would not be able to hold down these two countries.

Today, Britain's own high-quality coal and iron have been mined, and even Germany and France are not necessarily stable, let alone compared with the basic plates like the United States and the Soviet Union.

Malaya is not far from Australia and New Zealand. If the colony can remain under British control, it is the first choice for both Australia and New Zealand in terms of production cost and convenience.

In turn, the development of Malaya will not only be helped by the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand can also provide a lot of low-cost raw materials, which is a win-win situation.

Compared with the country's victory, this result is definitely not a good news for Japan to tell the truth.

Alan Wilson does not need to conduct any investigations, and no one understands the Japanese mentality better than him. Although Japan's behavior in the war was not a big deal in ancient times.

But this is precisely a modern society, and the atrocities of the Japanese war have been recorded. As long as you look carefully and publish it, you can incite hostility to Japan.

Pamela Mountbatten incited anti-Japanese sentiments in the three countries of Australia through the atrocities recorded by Japan in the southward war, and it was very successful, which led to the three countries of Australia showing solidarity with the Philippines and clinging to the issue of claims.

Pamela Mountbatten can do it in Australia today, and when the time comes, other countries can do it. So Alan Wilson believes that it is not too much for Japan to swallow billions in reparations. Is it expensive to pay a little protection fee to the free world in exchange for psychological safety?

Of the $3.58 billion in indemnity, more than 800 million belonged to the Philippines. As for Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, the amount varies. Australia exceeds one billion, and the Netherlands has the same amount as the Philippines. New Zealand has the least amount of indemnity, even more than the Philippines. smaller.

This is also ranked according to the degree of loss of various countries during the war. Australia lost a lot in World War II, and its mobilization level exceeded one tenth. The Dutch raged in the East Indies saponins in Japan, and New Zealand suffered relatively small losses.

The three countries in Australia are also very satisfied with this result, and the public opinion has a lot of praise for this negotiation.

At this time, Pamela Mountbatten held a reception at the Governor's Palace in Australia, and invited negotiating teams from several countries to participate. The Australian National White Australia has a strong atmosphere. If it is held elsewhere, it may cause the Filipinos to be treated coldly. It is more suitable for the Governor's Palace in the United Kingdom.

With Australia's independence already a foregone conclusion, the Governor-General's Office would have had social responsibilities in the future.

Alan Wilson, the mere son-in-law, also expressed his congratulations to several countries at the Governor's Palace. Who would think too much money? Anyway, a member of the common people like Alan Wilson will not.

"I have already contacted Amsterdam, and I desperately need this money now. After all, the storm surge has caused huge losses, and the country needs this money for some reassurance work. However, I also explained that the jurisdiction of Kalimantan also needs capital investment. This time Japan's reparations are of great use." Van Dijk and Alan Wilson talked about the role of the Japanese reparations.

"The Governor's idea is very mature." Alan Wilson laughed, not only happy to see the Japanese uncomfortable, but happy that the money had a clear purpose.

Maybe this is the joy of being a good person~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson is excited that he has the opportunity to help others, and doing good deeds every day is so happy that he needs to look for more opportunities in the future.

After a while, Alan Wilson found President Quirino of the Philippines again. In fact, there is still one month left, and the term of President Quirino will come. The elections have ended before the talks, and the Philippines will soon change the president.

He has no prejudice against the Philippines. Even if Marcos does not come to power, he does not believe that the Philippines can form an industrial competition with Malaya. He is simply happy that President Quirino can achieve his wishes before the end of his term. Maybe President Quirino will have a chance to make a comeback in the future, provided he lives a little longer.

"Mr. Wilson, we are neighbors. I hope there will be a place to help each other in the future." President Quirino said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it." Alan Wilson took the initiative to raise his glass and touch the other side. The negotiation of the Japanese claim was successful, thanks to the Philippine president who still insisted on his last term.
