Chapter 1067 New Aviation Market
None of these industries can be established overnight. With the existing foundation in Tanganyika, it is impossible to even think about it. This is evident from the impact Nyerere received during the visit.
During the visit, Wick accompanied him all the way on behalf of his immediate superior, and reported all the changes in Nyerere without any concealment.
"I feel that there are some changes in Nyerere." Wike reported to his boss when he returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Fabians like Nyerere have certain ideals and are not people who only know how to fight for power. Having certain ideals is the basis for us to maintain harmony. Of course, we should not be too idealistic, as that would not only be bad for Britain , which is also harmful to Tanganyika.”
Alan Wilson was very satisfied and explained gently, "After all, not all countries can produce people like Stalin, and we must also prevent Stalin from appearing again in other countries. What industry is Nyerere most interested in?"
"Currently, it's aviation and shipbuilding." Wick recalled and gave what he thought was the correct answer.
"It's good to have ideals, but don't be too ambitious." Upon hearing this, Alan Wilson couldn't help but shake his head and said, showing his disapproval of Nyerere's focus on the industry. "There is no certain threshold. It's just thinking too much. It's better to learn. For Asian countries, it is better to climb up the textile industry step by step, but we have no obligation to remind them. Just create an unattainable image of British industry."
The shipbuilding industry alone is already an unattainable industry for ordinary countries, let alone the aviation industry.
The aviation industry now receives so much attention from the UK that Alan Wilson doesn't even need to fuss about it. This can be seen from the fact that it receives praise from various departments from time to time. As for tax cuts and policy support, these are routine operations.
After establishing the status of British aviation giant, it created 80,000 high-paying jobs to drive local employment in the UK. Even if it cannot be said that the food and clothing of millions of workers is dependent on it, it is not far off.
At least for Britain, the Comet passenger aircraft production line is far more valuable than Pamela Mountbatten's other industries.
Alan Wilson It is difficult to imagine that African countries in later generations will have any industry that they can excel in, except for the textile industry.
The textile industry does not exist in every country. Most African countries rely on the export of raw materials, and some don't even have much raw materials, such as Chad, an ancient country living in modern times.
The problem is that Lake Chad has shown a trend of drying up in the 21st century. Once Lake Chad disappears, what will the country of Chad do in the future? I wonder if France, the former sovereign country, can play a positive role when the time comes.
Mediate the water issue in Chad.
"At the end of the visit, I was having a chat with him." Alan Wilson shook off the chaotic thoughts, put on his clothes and got ready to get off work.
African countries like Tanganyika, even if they start from the textile industry, cannot compete with Asian countries at the same time. It would be good if they can meet part of their needs.
The big filter jointly set up by Europe and the United States does not work for all countries, but for countries like Tanganyika, it is indeed indestructible.
What is life? For Alan Wilson, life is when you plot against others while ensuring that you are not plotted against. As for Fengyue, is that just an adjustment? It is an indispensable business.
But there are some things to be happy about. Holding Xia Meng's pregnancy certificate, he felt very accomplished. Although Xia Meng's body had not changed yet, Alan Wilson touched her belly and said with a smile on his face, "I very happy."
"Sir Wilson, am I going to die?" Xia Meng asked for advice in a low voice.
"It's best to take a break for a while." Alan Wilson replied, "Don't worry, I will do my best to train your children. To be honest, I am still very optimistic about the development of your motherland. Maybe in a dozen years, your children can pass When Xiangjiang returns to your motherland, you will receive a warm welcome."
The starting point for British companies to return to important markets may be his and Xia Meng's children. This child's career will be helped by many brothers, and coupled with the blue ocean environment, he can definitely flourish.
"Aren't you, the UK, and my motherland in a hostile relationship?" Although Xia Meng was elated by Alan Wilson's words that he paid special attention to the child in her belly, she still expressed her confusion.
"It is a hostile relationship, and it is also the second largest investment and trading country after the Soviet Union. Oh, now that the Soviet Union has withdrawn, the United Kingdom may become the largest trading country again." Alan Wilson smiled and embraced Xia Meng. "We are promoting aviation trade, working hard to lift some of the ban on Batumi, and trying to sell some passenger aircraft to China."
"Ah? There is such a thing. It's really unexpected." Xia Meng exclaimed, aren't the two countries in opposing camps?
"Trade is trade, politics is politics. At least the British aircraft are no worse than the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson put his arms around Xia Meng's body and rested his chin on the woman's shoulder. "There should be results soon."
For the current British aviation industry, due to the rise of Boeing in the United States, it is inevitable that it will not be able to kill everyone like the Comet airliner when it first appeared. It is inevitable to find an untapped market.
This world has been completed into two large parts. The countries controlled by the Soviet Union and Britain cannot enter.
But now an opportunity has arisen. In order to achieve the final victory of the free world, Britain naturally has to do its part. It must rush in first to make money, oh, and promote international detente.
Now facing fierce competition from Boeing, the UK also needs a new market to emerge, which is the direct and internal reason for its promotion of aircraft exports to China. At this time, there are also cracks within the hostile camp, which affects economic and technical assistance, including In aviation products and technology, China began to shift the focus of foreign trade from the Soviet bloc to Western European countries. It was under the above background and conditions that Britain started aircraft trade with China.
The current situation is very simple. The United States still remembers the revenge of the Korean War, and Sino-US trade cannot be done even if it wants to. But Britain doesn't have this problem. Britain doesn't care about its original history, not to mention that it didn't participate in the Korean War in this time and space.
Then apart from the United States, the remaining big market is Europe. This time the trade is completely two-way. The UK needs export orders for passenger aircraft to stabilize the military morale of the aviation industry, and China also needs passenger aircraft to establish its own routes.
So why not do it? It’s not shabby to make money, not to mention it’s your own family’s property.
"In London more than ten years ago, war, blackouts, evacuations, shortages of goods, chickens and horses raised in the countryside, etc., people were always careful and obedient to avoid any important information about individuals or families. Avoid mentioning the past.”
Alan Wilson stood by the window with his arm around Xia Meng's shoulders and said to himself, "Any disaster will pass. At least your country still has such ability. This is a very lucky thing."
"I believe that all countries will get better and better." Xia Meng responded gently, leaning on the man's shoulder.
"This is the power of a few countries." Alan Wilson corrected without doubt, "The vast majority of countries do not have this ability."
For example, Tanganyika, Nyerere's motherland, definitely does not have this ability, and Tanganyika is a common state in the world. A large land and a large population are really useful. Even if it is not as good as India, these days Aren't you invited to various international conferences to express your courtesy?
The six-party talks will win over India, but they will definitely not win over Tanganyika, although he and Nyerere are currently in friendly negotiations.
Nyerere, who was included in the visit by Alan Wilson, now has a systematic understanding of the British industry.
Alan Wilson even wanted to send Nyerere to Malaya, the Gold Coast and Nigeria, but the most important thing now is what Nyerere thinks.
"Mr. Nyerere, I am very happy to be interviewed by the Daily Times yesterday. Otherwise, some people may suspect that we have detained you." When we met again, Alan Wilson still greeted him with a sanctimonious and hypocritical attitude. .
After more than half a month of visits, Nyerere's attitude did soften. "We admit that British industry is beyond our reach, and Tanganyika still has a long way to go."
you are right! But Alan Wilson was lying when he opened his mouth, "Maybe in a few decades, Tanganyika can also usher in prosperity. But in this process, it cannot be disturbed by external forces. War always causes damage to the economy, not as good as Congo now." .So the biggest benefit to Tanganyika is to be careful to avoid the whirlpool of fighting."
"I am willing to consider this issue carefully." Nyerere nodded. "As for the relationship between Britain and Tanganyika, we are willing to adopt an understanding attitude."
"Wise move, Mr. Nyerere." Alan Wilson finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's talk about the issue of Malawi colony first, and the distribution issue of Lake Malawi. There is also Portugal's issue here. The impact exists, and what we in the UK pursue are naturally plans that leave no consequences, and hasty moves like French Africa should be avoided."
Alan Wilson even wanted to give Nyerere a few warships as gifts, but Britain currently does not have such a configuration of yellow water battleships. But he was reluctant to send a serious battleship, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.
The rest was left to Foreign Secretary Macmillan. The two jointly announced that they had constructive opinions on the future of Tanganyika and even British East Africa. At the same time, they reached an agreement that the colony of Malawi would be annexed to Tanganyika. Among Nikka.
Nyerere still has the next step to visit the Dominion of Nigeria and the Dominion of the Gold Coast to examine construction issues in Africa. Since Nyerere has shown an attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration, he is a positive example for the United Kingdom to adopt similar measures to him. Reports like a great man descended from heaven.
If Nyerere was not born, Tanganyika would be like a long night forever. Alan Wilson, holding the newspaper, shouted, "Come on..."
