Chapter 1274 Conspiracy
British Civil Servant Text Volume Chapter 1,274 Conspiracy "Even at this time, you still have no good impression of the Japanese." Pamela Mountbatten bent down and whispered, "Have you been driven from Xiangjiang to India to persevere? Yu Huai?"
Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband did not originally work in India, but fled to India, which led to the following series of events.
"Doesn't the Marshal also hate Japan?" Alan Wilson said to himself, don't just talk about me, isn't your father, the head of the British military, the same way? But this topic was not interesting to study in depth, so I asked how the Portuguese car production line was and whether it was popular.
After receiving satisfactory feedback from his wife, Alan Wilson said, "We must consider the added value assessment of the British industry. If Land Rover is a British industry, but it creates value for other countries, then it will not have a leading role in the UK." Big companies must be careful about this. The core of the industrial chain must be local."
Take Pinnacle Japan as an example. There is almost nothing in Japan. Apart from forestry, local resources can only serve as specimens. In fact, there is only one path before Japan, which is to become a manufacturing powerhouse. In fact, the same is true for South Korea. A large country can also rely on local resources to buffer it. Neither Japan nor South Korea can do this.
At its peak, more than 95% of Japan's added value was in Japan's domestic industries. Exports worth 100 US dollars and more than 90 US dollars worth of components were all kept in Japan.
Manufacturing is vital to 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, displays, shipbuilding, and even steel have all collapsed.
The remaining automobile industry is struggling to survive alone. Even many of the parts used in automobiles 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 these fifteen dollars determines whether Japan can maintain its import and export balance.
Very early in Alan Wilson's last life, Japan was known as the Trumpet America. At that time, not to mention that a certain major country dared to refute the United States based on its positioning of strength. Even facing Japan, it felt that the other country was unattainable. In many networks in the first decade of the 21st century, Japan had a very high sense of presence.
Then, as time went by, the impression of Japan changed from the small United States to the large South Korea. Even Internet writers were unwilling to regard this country as a villain.
Based on the foundations of Japan and South Korea, once the manufacturing industry cannot hold on, the two countries may decline at a rate beyond people's imagination. Is it true that the only way to surpass Japan and South Korea is growth? We can also find ways to make the other country fall.
With the current military strength of the United Kingdom, it is definitely not comparable to that of the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is not a problem to pretend to be the big brother in front of Portugal.
Britain needs Portugal's influence in Africa to help enter the independent countries in North Africa and the Portuguese colonies in South Africa. It is not impossible to provide some added value for this purpose.
With such a small population in Portugal, there is no possibility of backlash, but it cannot allow too much benefit. The distribution of Range Rover in the mainland, Discovery in Portugal, and Aurora in Malaya cannot be changed.
The Middle East and North Africa are also places where Japanese pickup trucks have proliferated in later generations. Now Pamela Mountbatten Rescue has taken advantage of Portugal's geographical location to enter and block the local Japanese car market in advance.
As for American cars, there is no need to worry for the time being. Various American cars are firmly moving towards the goal of full-size SUVs. Larger size and higher horsepower are the goals that American cars are chasing.
If this were not the case, American cars would not have been completely defeated by Japan and 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 Range Rover is considered small and exquisite, and its 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, but it does not necessarily have to trample Toyota and Volkswagen under its feet.
The cabinet secretary has chosen semiconductors, high-end automobiles and special shipbuilding for the UK. Together with North Sea oil and the financial industry, plus the currently considerable military industry including aerospace, it is enough to take care of the UK's 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 unable to think about nuclear power as inferior to thermal power like Australia does. If the UK is willing to help , the Salazar government readily agreed to use British nuclear power technology to solve the country's energy problems.
In the past few months, due to the Tonkin Gulf Incident and the sinking of a US aircraft carrier by North Vietnamese frogmen, the United States was not unresponsive. It sent an additional 7,000 troops to South Vietnam to stabilize the situation. The number of U.S. troops in South Vietnam reached 23,000, but because the election was approaching, Lyndon Johnson did not want to go too far. Bigger actions would not occur until he was 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 felt that South Vietnam was too close to the Bamboo Curtain. Once a war broke out, he wanted to bomb it to block it. The steady flow of support from North Vietnam was too difficult.
"Minister, there may be nothing we can do in the short term." Alan Wilson lied without a red face and a heartbeat. No matter what, he had already given birth to a child with Xia Meng, and was ready to return to the Far East as high as possible. At that time, their sons happened to be adults and could shoulder greater hopes.
Through the channels of the Five Eyes Alliance, Alan Wilson knew that Washington was not unaware of the current differences within the Soviet bloc.
However, it is a professional opinion derived from the analysis of many experts. The most professional conclusion was drawn. It is impossible for these two countries to fall out completely, just like Britain and France will never really fall out with the United States no matter how much they quarrel.
It is impossible for any rational decision-maker to do such an irrational thing. If you think about it, if you fall out, it will be all bad. How can something happen without any benefit?
After Alan Wilson learned about American professionals, he came up with the most decisive conclusion and immediately apologized for his ignorance. Otherwise, he said that the United States is the leader of the free world. If he is right, how could there be a falling out? Under normal circumstances, the United States is the leader of the free world. It's absolutely impossible.
It’s just that their American counterparts forgot that the systems were different. The Soviet system inevitably led to a period of irrationality.
The Slavs, the main ethnic group in the Soviet Union, are famous for their diode thinking. The predecessor of the Russian Empire was a well-known expansionist, but for the sake of the Orthodox brothers, it did not hesitate to launch Russian-Turkish wars. For Serbia, it did not hesitate to join the world war. In order to alleviate France's disadvantage, it launched an attack on Germany before it was ready to mobilize.
While the Soviet Union was hostile to the United States and oppressed Europe, it continued to help other nations establish industrial systems and spent tens of billions to support the construction of allies. This all happened during the same period.
The big brother thinks that I have given you enough concessions, but the little brother still feels dissatisfied. This has led to some things happening that the two countries would not allow to happen under normal circumstances.
In the 21st century, a certain major country has obviously learned its lesson. In fact, diode thinking is not difficult to deal with.
Russia was originally very pro-Western, but the process of NATO's eastward expansion was accompanied by trampling on Russia's dignity. Not to mention a few nice words to appease it, it was even unwilling to write a blank check, which led to Russia's once-powerful pro-Western ideology. Turn off the heat completely.
Isn’t the Belt and Road Initiative expanding Russia’s traditional sphere of influence? In fact, it is no different in nature from NATO's eastward expansion, and Russia itself is also very vigilant.
But a certain big country has been chanting sutras with Russia, which is a good thing for both countries. It won't work once, not for a year, or even for ten years. When compared with the behavior of Europe, Russia will accept it.
Since the Slavs want to save face, it is enough for a big country to take second place in tank competitions. Anyway, the industries of the two countries do not conflict. They just want to save face, and it does not need to go to the level of favor. There is nothing that cannot be discussed.
While the two were having a conversation, on the second day of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, and while the whole world was paying attention and talking about the Tokyo Olympics, Khrushchev, the first secretary of the Soviet Union, was recuperating in Sochi on the Black Sea. According to his report at the Central Committee Committee members and the meeting promised that he will retire in two years' time, that is, in 1966, and he will also elect an official successor.
However, in Khrushchev's heart, although Brezhnev was in the position of second secretary, he always felt that he was not so satisfied. Even when he was recuperating, Khrushchev was still thinking about this matter.
At this time, Moscow was not as warm as the suitable dark shore. The two figures walked side by side. Shelepin first asked, "Are you ready? Will Sherest agree? Once Ukraine expresses its firm support, won't we?" It might work."
"According to Khrushchev, he is still an old man even though he is fifty-five years old." Brezhnev spoke impeccably. "Of course age is not a problem, Schulich. The key is that he wants to drive away experienced cadres. , he has the final say on all major national affairs. But in fact, he has made many mistakes in recent years, and while making mistakes, he also acted arbitrarily, and no one can stop him."
Shelepin nodded in approval, while Brezhnev was still minding his own business and said, "Our colleagues all have great hopes for us and correctly understand our difficulties. Suslov and Podgorny , Shelest all understand the root cause of the current problems our motherland is encountering."
Shelepin was not very old, and Brezhnev knew that the age issue would not touch this 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, he emphasized the mistakes made by Khrushchev and actively sought Shelepin's opinion, "Schulich, what do you think we should do now?"
"If we are well prepared and we are confident, we should ask the First Secretary to return to Moscow and formally express our views." Sheleping did not doubt that he was there and said that he would make a decisive decision.
