Chapter 1059 Japan Is Developing Well
Alan Wilson nodded, "I will come over to get the information on the six-party talks in a few days. Then I will take my leave and wait for your good news. By the way, I want the comprehensive information on the Middle East."
He had just taken up the post of Secretary-General of the Joint Intelligence Committee. He could not just come to MI5 and MI6, and the Government Communications Headquarters could not be left behind. Its head was Guy Liddell. In the original history, because of his relationship with the Cambridge Five The members had good personal relationships, which resulted in them missing the position of intelligence chief.
However, judging from the declassified documents of later generations, Guy Liddell really only had a good relationship with one or two members of the Cambridge Five. He was not a member of the Soviet Union. Because his personal relationship was implicated, he felt wronged even before his death. .
Now that the Cambridge Five have not been exposed, Guy Liddell has naturally developed smoothly and became the head of the Government Communications Headquarters. In two days, Alan Wilson transferred all three major intelligence agencies, even if he took office , during which I also visited Vivien Leigh’s son and took a rocket ride.
When Pamela Mountbatten returned to Hoxon from Northern Ireland, Alan Wilson was already waiting with a purple bow tie and a humble look on his face, "Welcome the respected richest woman to the loyal Hoxon Emerald Manor. "
"What are you doing?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little shy. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to whisper, "The children are still here."
Pamela led her younger brother Albert, while Arnold was in his mother's arms. Alan Wilson stepped forward to pick up his youngest son, "Aren't I setting an example? After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of British people, I am He’s just someone who relies on women for his livelihood.”
Wow... Arnold obviously didn't give his father face, and started crying directly. Pamela Mountbatten had to start coaxing the children again, "We will talk later, the children are tired."
"Pamela, take your brother to play." Alan Wilson took out a handful of diamonds from his pocket and began to bribe his eldest daughter. This scene made Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but mutter, "It's an old trick. "
"You don't have to worry about old tricks, as long as they work." Seeing his eldest daughter taking over the diamond happily, Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "I'm just reminding my daughter not to be obsessed with some small favors when she grows up and her IQ will drop below the line. . Unlike me, I am the best among British men."
Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes involuntarily, although she also admitted that what her husband said was the truth.
After coaxing her young son to sleep, Pamela Mountbatten entered the Emerald Room and saw her husband wiping the twelve-inch-tall golden Buddha with a rag. Apparently this was something he gained while working in British India. Not far away, there was also There are Sumerian clay tablets and medieval plate armor, which look very messy.
"It should be tidied up, and the King Tiger tank you put in the warehouse should be moved to another place.
"Pamela Mountbatten hugged her husband's waist from behind and listened to her husband's heartbeat.
"No place!" After wiping the golden Buddha, Alan Wilson adjusted the position and said casually, "Actually, those ivory, rhino horns, and tiger skins are troublesome. The King Tiger tank is actually not bad. Build a parking lot, and the classic The car models are placed together.”
"How about buying a museum and putting it there?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband for his opinion. "I will bring those antiques and furs that are not easy to preserve to Australia. The local climate is still not conducive to the preservation of these things."
"I have no problem." Alan Wilson took off the knight's sword from the full set of plate armor without caring, and gestured, "Take these away too. From now on, just keep the gold, silver, and gems here."
Pamela Mountbatten expressed happiness that her husband was taking charge of the new department. The content of their chat has changed from external things to career issues. After more than ten years of careful cultivation, Pamela Mountbatten has become a towering tree. Britain The undoubted representative of the aristocracy and the idol of British women.
"What kind of idol am I for women? They just don't know the inside story." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband sheepishly, "I found a man I can rely on."
"The fact that the richest woman is alone is enough. If we compare the rich people in the UK into men and women, I have seen a lot of male rich people besides you, but I have only heard of female rich people other than you. There is a huge difference between seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears." Alan Wilson sat down, and Pamela Mountbatten, the husband and wife singer, sat directly on her husband's lap, and her arms naturally held her husband's neck.
Discussions about career development are still going on. Petroleum in the Middle East and hydropower in Malaya are all in the old calendar. The transfer of the automobile industry is being planned. There is nothing to talk about. It is not the time to innovate technology.
The world is changing, but not enough so far, at least for the UK, to be taken seriously.
Because of the pound exchange rate and the positioning of British cars, mid-range cars and below are unthinkable in the UK. British cars can only follow this route.
The automobile industry is a capital-intensive, technology-intensive, talent-intensive, comprehensive, and highly economical industry. The future world will be dominated by Germany and Japan. However, these two countries are both laggards in new energy. The difference is just who A little further behind.
Around the world, Tesla has clearly threatened the German and Japanese automobile industries.
It can be seen that Tesla Motors is the new benchmark for the stock market promoted by the United States. Once the automobile industries of Germany and Japan are hit by Tesla, Germany and the EU can digest it, but Japan will have a difficult time.
In his previous life, Alan Wilson experienced online public opinion. It only took twenty years for Japan to go from the small United States to the large South Korea. You can't tell it in one or two years, but it dropped from 50,000 US dollars per capita to less than 100,000 US dollars per capita. To 40,000, what is shown in statistics is that Japan continues to lose ground in various industries, and its dependence on the automobile industry is increasing every year.
"Australia is preparing to lift the ban on iron ore exports." Pamela Mountbatten talked about this and asked her husband to help advise. Before the discovery of iron ore in Western Australia, Australia was deeply aware of the lack of mineral resources and had banned the export of iron ore.
Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "The reason for Japan?"
"Well, there are factors in this regard." Pamela Mountbatten replied softly, "Japan's steel industry is developing rapidly."
In the past few years, Japan's steel output has been increasing year by year, and has reached close to 20 million tons per year. Not surprisingly, this year's output will definitely exceed 20 million tons. Japan is a country where all resources can be used for exhibition, but they have no mining value. In places where steel production of 20 million tons will increase in the future, Japan must find sources of high-quality iron ore.
Traditionally, Japan has imported raw materials from East Asian countries, but this is no longer possible, and the quality of China's iron ore is only so good, so Japan has placed its hopes on Australian iron ore.
"Who would think money hurts their hands?" Alan Wilson chuckled and shook his head. "If you don't agree, the Australian government may criticize it. After all, the 20 million production capacity is there. Exports can create a lot of foreign exchange."
According to original history, although Australian iron ore was discovered during the Korean War, it was not until the 1960s that the discoverers developed the iron ore due to bureaucracy common in the world.
Australian iron ore is still in a very early stage, and the development of Japan's steel industry has caught up with it at a good time.
Japan responded very quickly and started investing in Australia while the Australian iron ore mines were still under development.
But things are different now. The Mountbatten Group has completed its staking campaign and firmly holds the mining rights in its hands. As for other iron ore mines, it is pretending not to have them, and there is no possibility of Japan taking a ride on them.
"I think so too. Pretending not to know will only make Australians dissatisfied. And the development of Perth also costs money." Pamela Mountbatten replied in a low voice. She had previously hoarded a lot of land near Perth.
Due to the economic development of Western Australia, Perth is now experiencing rapid expansion. The population is growing much faster than the three eastern cities. The price of the land she has hoarded is also rising. You can make money by buying land, let alone developing it.
"You calculate the logistics costs and keep the price of selling iron ore at a level that allows the Japanese to make hard-earned money, and then just talk to the Australian government. However, Japan, or even any country, must think carefully about its investment in Western Australia. "Alan Wilson thought for a long time and replied, "The United States doesn't have to worry about it for the time being. They have a share of Brazil's iron ore."
This is easy for Pamela Mountbatten, because she is half Australian and has Australian nationality. The processing cost is one pound. "Then I will ask someone to calculate the cost of the Japanese steel industry and price the iron ore for sale."
"The career territory is getting bigger and bigger." Alan Wilson touched his wife's face, hugged Pamela Mountbatten and stood up, walking and said, "Come, have a good rest for a few days, it's time for me to go to Basra."
The high temperature in Basra does not weaken at all just because it is October. In fact, at the latitude of Basra, except for East Asia, there is no place on this line that is not short of water and high temperature, even in the agricultural empire. The United States, at the same longitude and latitude, is also plagued by water shortages.
North Africa and the Middle East are the normal climate in Basra, especially during the day. It was at this time that Alan Wilson arrived in Basra. He had just arrived at the British garrison camp in Kuwait a day ago, and he was still wearing suits and ties when he visited the soldiers of the South Island troops. , a day later the Arab robe has been put on.
He was the first to arrive in Basra, taking the opportunity to chat more with the traditionally pro-British local dignitaries.
The negotiators from each country were not full-time officials. In fact, Macmillan really wanted to come, but other countries also had deputy ministers attending, so he had no choice but to give up, and finally took advantage of Eden's air ticket to visit Africa and went to Africa.
