Chapter 1000 Egypt’s Dream of a Great Power

"France's status is unquestionable. Few countries in the world can look down on France. Except for illegal immigrants."

Alan Wilson smiled and said, but he suddenly remembered a German propaganda poster from 1932. The meaning of the propaganda poster was also simple. In France a hundred years later, the French will live in zoos, and behind the zoos The French from the outside are the mainstream black group in France.

If you look at the French football team in the 21st century, the blackening of France seems to be becoming a reality step by step. But it seems that this is not the case in some aspects. If we compare it with the United States and look at American propaganda videos, there are quite a lot of black soldiers in the US military.

The French army is completely different. The faces of black soldiers are extremely rare in many French military parades. The French army alone cannot tell how big a problem black French people are. It can be said that France still has its own persistence in some places.

Of course, France may also be very talented in this regard. In such a chaotic situation in the Fourth Republic, more than 20 governments were changed, and more than 20 governments unanimously supported the French army's occupation of Algeria.

It is not unreasonable that the successive governments of the Fifth Republic resolutely maintained the white face of the French army.

"Illegal immigrants, black people?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly, "Actually, we in the UK are facing the same situation. Although you are in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now, if you want to get to a higher level in the future, you will also have to consider this matter."

"I can think about it now." Alan Wilson did not say to his wife. Now Foreign Secretary Macmillan is having a headache for the hundreds of thousands of Indians in British Kenya and is preparing to discuss with the Indian government. "Our colony is far away from the mainland. , and with the size and population ratio of Malaya, the colony's survival pressure is not great. As long as you tighten your pockets, it will be no problem. As for the local fertility rate, start with propaganda."

"We promote that Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with good living conditions, so that local citizens don't have to worry about their children's future. If there are not many opportunities in the country, just immigrate. What's the problem with this?"

"The living conditions are good?" Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips. Little did she know that her husband was lying again.

"At least for the current population, life is still good." Alan Wilson knew that the lie was exposed by his wife again, and changed the topic, "We know that Australia's environment is not very good, but it does not mean that the local citizens also know. The UK can help Many citizens have found comfortable jobs, and if that’s not possible, they can do so in the Middle East. For example, those protectorates, such as Kuwait and Qatar, are all good places, and jobs can be arranged in these places.”

This good place refers to per capita wealth. Those emirates that are still rich in resources in the hands of the British are also allocated by resource countries. In later generations, these countries are essentially slave-owner countries.

Small countries in the Middle East in the 21st century, such as Dubai and Qatar, have a population of only one-tenth of the permanent population. Emirs and heads of large families are responsible for working overtime until two in the afternoon, while hired managers act like housekeepers. They are generally hired from the UK, and the income of these British and European managers is roughly the same as that of locals.

As for the lowest-level jobs that require blood and sweat, such as the workers who died during the construction of the Qatar World Cup despite the high temperatures in the Middle East, they are done by a large number of South Asians. The wages of these South Asian migrant workers are about one-tenth of those of locals.

Even so, considering that South Asia is a benchmark for the involution of the earth, the incomes of these Southeast Asians are still higher than in their own countries.

Alan Wilson can tell the UK, don’t worry if you are born, you can go wherever you want when you grow up, the country will arrange your place for you.

But that is for the future. At this stage, Alan Wilson is mainly looking for jobs for civil servants. He will not do this until the emirs of the British protectorate in the Middle East realize that their country's population needs foreign workers as slaves. s arrangement.

In the future, in a country like Qatar, even if the Emir drives a large yacht and drives a Rolls-Royce for transportation, ordinary citizens can live a life of driving a Land Rover for at least several decades.

"After you return to China, talk to Land Rover and ask Land Rover to put down some of its stature. It's obviously not a very high-end car. Why should it take the high-end route? Look at Mercedes-Benz." Alan Wilson couldn't help but complain to his wife that Britain lacks high-end products. A car? He could call out a bunch of brands, and Land Rover would join in the fun.

"I'll find someone to ask Maurice Wilkes to come over. If that doesn't work, can I acquire his company?" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Anyway, I have to take care of my youngest son now. I can’t go back for the time being, but if you’re not in a hurry, I estimate that this matter will be done by next year at the most.”

"My dear, tell me, did I save the world in my previous life, and yet I was favored by such an outstanding woman." Alan Wilson held his wife's chin with a look of lust on his face.

The automobile industry is a huge industry. Later Japan and Germany relied largely on their strong automobile industry. The UK has always taken a high-end route in this regard.

Take Land Rover, a British brand that is not considered high-end. It is positioned above German Mercedes-Benz and is on the same level as Maserati and Porsche. However, it was later sold to India that led to a decline in brand power, and it was reduced to a level similar to the three German giants.

Involving the four major industries of clothing, food, housing and transportation, each of them can drive huge employment. Compared with the previous three, the automobile industry is an industry prone to the emergence of large-scale car companies. It will also drive all aspects of machinery and chemical industries.

Needless to say, just look at how much attention the United States attaches to the automobile industry. However, the good days of American cars are coming to an end, and they will soon fall into competition with Japanese cars.

As long as Pamela Mountbatten can handle the Land Rover matter within one year, Alan Wilson can cultivate a competitive industry for Japan. He does not expect to be able to defeat Japan, but the UK can sell one more of this kind of thing. There is one less car in Japan.

If he hadn't considered his wife's health, maybe Alan Wilson would have behaved like a beast.

The couple split up, with Pamela Mountbatten recuperating in Perth and focusing on the miraculous emergence of Chinese silver and the establishment of wind tunnel facilities, while Alan Wilson continued to stir things up in the diplomatic field.

There are only two countries in the world that Britain can passively accept. In other areas, Alan Wilson still has to adhere to the principle of striking hard. When he returned to London, he also met with the Governor of Goa in Karachi, the capital of Pakistan. .

The two main mainstream religions in Goa are Christians and Peace Christians, with the latter having a larger number. Goa is not a barbaric place. In fact, Goa's resource reserves are quite good, and its iron ore production is among the best in the subcontinent.

But it has little to do with the steel industry in Malaya. The main export target of the iron ore mined by Portugal is Pakistan.

In this era, because of East Pakistan, which later became Bangladesh, Pakistan's living standard was much higher than that of India, and with the support of the United States, it had a lot of financial room.

Pakistan has high coal reserves, but iron ore can only be said to be better than nothing. Coal and iron are two very important resources for the country. Pakistan only has coal, which makes it lame.

With the new permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the matchmaker, doesn't this form industrial complementarity? Both have a bright future.

In this way, Pakistan obtained scarce iron ore, and the Portuguese also obtained trade benefits.

The most important thing is to start with the development of economic ties, which can be extended to cooperation in the military field. Due to Goa's security issues, Portugal is happy to see Britain playing a useful role, albeit secretly.

Goa currently has 30,000 Portuguese troops and 2,000 British troops at the British naval base. Coupled with the battleships and aircraft carriers deployed, the strength cannot be said to be weak. But without a relatively powerful foreign player who can backstab, Goa alone cannot be said to be foolproof.

Considering this, Pakistan is very important. During the Goa War in history, Pakistan had no sense of existence. Alan Wilson felt that it was because the world did not have its own existence. If it had itself, Pakistan would have a sense of existence.

After leaving Pakistan, he went to Dubai to remind the Overseas Asset Management Committee to destroy evidence of corruption. It was precisely to maintain the integrity of British civil servants that he returned to London with gifts from the Portuguese. It was determined that the gifts from the Portuguese exceeded the gifts stipulated by Whitehall. value and then turn it over for confiscation.

He went to the Ministry of Defense non-stop to find Marshal Mountbatten. Before the Antarctic Conference, Alan Wilson handed the document on the Anglo-Egyptian joint military exercise into the hands of Foreign Secretary Macmillan, "The Ministry of Defense means, and the Egyptian Navy's Indian Ocean Force The exercise will be held in October, and the subsequent military exercise with the Portuguese Navy will be in November. The latter will launch Malaya’s Royal Pacific Fleet. Although the warships of the Royal Pacific Fleet are quite old, they are within Asia. , it can still play a huge role.”

In the British political circles, Foreign Secretary Macmillan did not immediately give a positive reply, but the former Foreign Secretary and current Prime Minister Eden received approval for two military exercises one after another.

Alan Wilson's assessment of Eden as Prime Minister gradually became clear. It is not easy for a person to accept new things when he is old.

The current Prime Minister still firmly believes that Britain is a world power.

"Communicate with King Farouk I of Egypt. If there are no problems on the Egyptian side, we can prepare for military exercises now. We will also evaluate the actual combat capabilities of the Egyptian Navy. In theory, of course we hope that the mud will not support the wall, and the worse the performance will be. The better." Alan Wilson handed over the specific matters of communication to Secretary Wick and asked him to be responsible for negotiating military exercises with Egypt.

In front of Egypt, the United Kingdom can still act as a world power. On October 22, the joint Anglo-Egyptian naval exercise began. The new Egyptian Navy conducted an ocean-going exercise for the first time. Egypt attaches great importance to this naval exercise, and Egypt also has dreams of becoming a great power.
