Chapter 1285 British Nuclear Strategy
,
India is the traditional sphere of influence of the British. Of course, this is what Americans think so. Alan Wilson and Whitehall do not think so. The main reason why they do not think so is because the Cabinet Secretary does not think so. This does not mean that the Prime Minister thinks so, so He started writing the report plan again.
It’s better to prepare this kind of thing in advance. When the real thing comes and the cabinet needs it, it will be taken out without being caught off guard.
But on the contrary, if it cannot be produced, it will be criticized by the cabinet. There's nothing we can do about it. The division of labor between the Cabinet and Whitehall is different. The Cabinet will let voters blame it, but the Cabinet can also blame Whitehall, but the public doesn't know it.
The period at the beginning of the year determines the development direction of the United Kingdom in the coming year. Alan Wilson faced the small meeting of the General Assembly and asked each department to produce a report no less than a palm thick and ask the Prime Minister to review it.
For example, today, the Ministry of Home Affairs produced a report on the British social environment and development. There is a paragraph in it about attracting foreign tourists, which is related to Japan.
Since last year, Japan has lifted its ban on traveling abroad. It’s hard to imagine, right? It is actually quite normal for Japan to have such a ban. The United Kingdom once implemented foreign exchange controls.
Exchange controls coupled with departure squeezed India's potential to survive the most difficult post-war years. Why did Alan Wilson kill the Gold Coast independence leader? Isn’t it because the problem was not solved at that time and Britain needed the gold from the Gold Coast?
It can be said that Japan now has a certain foundation, and it is not like the virtues that just started after the war. At present, the Far East is recognized as three places with good economic development: Japan, North Korea and Malaya.
In this era, many Koreans want to go north. The main reason is that South Korea's economy is too difficult. Last year's food crisis, Japan was able to spend money to solve it. South Korea has been really difficult for a whole year.
On the contrary, North Korea was very nourished. The Soviet Union also drew North Korea into the "Economic Mutual Economic Cooperation Conference" it had organized. The Soviet big brother assigned jobs to the younger brothers in the group: some mined, some smelted iron, and some processed iron into hoes. Others just use hoes to farm the land, and the food they grow is sold to whomever Big Brother specifies.
In the Economic Cooperation Council, if there are countries that take advantage, there must be countries that suffer losses. North Korea is the one who takes advantage.
North Koreans are happy. With 11 years of free education, free housing, and free medical care, they have already entered a moderately prosperous life. The Koreans opposite are living a very miserable life, otherwise Park Chung-hee would not have sent troops and sacrificed his life in exchange for economic support from the United States. In fact, South Korea would have mobilized its labor force to go to the Middle East to shed blood and sweat for the development of the Middle East.
But Alan Wilson knew the importance of the Middle East to Britain, and he could not afford to wait for South Korea to think of shedding blood and sweat.
Malaya and Pakistan have already mobilized their labor force to build the Middle East. The construction of the Middle East, which has absorbed millions of Korean workers, now has no share of Korea at all.
With this premise in mind, Alan Wilson compared the history in his mind and reported to Aiden that the scale of South Korea's troop dispatch may reach 50,000 to 100,000.
It was two to three times more than the 20,000 to 30,000 troops dispatched by South Korea in history, and he said, "We are very worried about the expansion of this war. Once South Korean soldiers appear in Southeast Asia, North Korea may also take corresponding actions." Things can get very complicated."
North Korea's role in the Vietnam War was actually exactly the same as the Soviet Union's role in the Korean War, which was to dispatch the air force to establish the MiG corridor. Because the goal of the air force was too large, a certain major country actually avoided the role of the Soviet Union, so this role fell on North Korea.
"It's really quite complicated." Aiden smiled bitterly. This time Alan Wilson sent three reports. This one was an assessment of the Vietnam War, and the other two were analysis reports on the exchange of fire between India and Pakistan. There is also the impact of Japanese tourists abroad on the economies of various countries, such as France. "Japanese tourists are really impressive and they spend money like water."
"Actually, that's it. Japan is a country where the country is rich and the people are poor. The tourists who can come out are a very good minority in Japan." Alan Wilson doesn't care much about Japan lifting the ban on traveling abroad. The country is rich and the people are poor. Netizens in a certain big country will be very familiar with this rhetoric later in the year. They are just ignorant. This term was first used on Japan, then on South Korea, and then on a certain big country.
The country is rich and the people are poor, which is exactly what Americans use today to describe the country of Japan. The description is very correct. It does not need to be based on American standards. Even according to European standards, East Asian countries are within the range of rich countries and poor people, and Japan is no exception.
On the one hand, the Japanese began to go abroad and left the impression that people are stupid and have too much money. On the other hand, the white people who went to Japan felt that the Japanese lived in a difficult situation, were very economical, and had a very poor quality of life.
According to the economic terminology of later generations, Japan's domestic demand is sluggish and has been in a long-term slump.
Of course, after the Plaza Accord, the Japanese did live a prosperous life for a period of time, enjoying the treatment of how Europeans and even Americans live, but the cost is known to everyone around the world.
"Japan has competed with Britain in both automobiles and shipbuilding." Aiden looked at Alan Wilson. "Many reports from Whitehall have pointed out this."
"There are also semiconductors, but neither ours nor Japan's semiconductors are currently rivals of the United States." Alan Wilson knew what the Prime Minister meant. Japan's climb up the industrial chain essentially constitutes a competitive relationship with the United Kingdom, but there is nothing the United Kingdom can do. It's too obvious and some friendly communication is needed.
"I suggest adopting an attitude of cultural exchange and opening up some exchange activities in the cultural field. This is the case between us and the Soviet Union. The current Soviet Minister of Culture, Ms. Fortseva, is open to British music and films entering the Soviet Union. Of course, we also understand that some Cultural products that are degenerate and not positive enough in the eyes of the Soviet people may be subject to strict censorship by the Soviet Union. But even so, we cannot ignore the existence of the world's second largest market, and we still have to find ways to enter it."
The Soviet Union is of course the second largest film market in the world, second only to the United States. Isn't this normal? To be fair, American films have not yet entered the New Hollywood era, and there are indeed various problems. For example, Western movies specialize in glorifying murder, turning women into femme fatales, and murderous gangsters who do whatever they want.
When the United States began to promote American positive energy, it should be the New Hollywood movement in the 1970s. After that, the standard of Hollywood improved a lot. On the surface, the power of spreading culture is stronger.
However, Alan Wilson’s past life and the difficulties faced by various Marvel movies in Hollywood are squeezing other films, and I don’t know how to get through it.
Don’t say that this difficulty doesn’t exist. In fact, as long as you have some interest in movies, you will know that Hollywood has experienced an astonishing decline compared to the level of the 1980s and 1990s. If you insist on using a black person to play Snow White, you won’t even be able to convince the people in your own country. Why do you still want to spread the culture?
When a country's economy takes off, it must take off in all aspects. Just like the Soviet version of War and Peace, which is a film and television classic, it can only be filmed with the support of the Soviet Union's strong national power.
The same was true for Japan in this era. Alan Wilson also watched Japanese dramas, such as the 1983 version of Stewardess, which left a deep impression. Japanese dramas in the 21st century no longer have that feeling.
"Introducing Japanese cultural products?" Aiden thought for a while and asked suspiciously, "Will this cause dissatisfaction from the Actors Guild?"
"Probably not, we still watch Indian movies." Alan Wilson hinted that British movies are not a closed circle, and Indian movies come from time to time to harvest box office.
The competing industries need to compete, and cultural exchanges can also begin, which will also help to improve the horizons of British citizens. Since the Prime Minister has no objection, Alan Wilson has a good candidate. Burgess, who served as ambassador to Japan during the Korean War, It is more appropriate for him to show goodwill to Japan and promote cultural exchanges between Britain and Japan.
Just follow the general procedures for public opinion guidance. On Sunday, the mysterious ancient Eastern country is incompetent with the world. On Monday, the great dictator prepares to destroy the world, and "our" democracy is in danger! Tuesday, the evil Eastern Empire has all its secrets!
Wednesday, the source of evil has a powerful space weapon! On Thursday, the dawn of justice first appeared, and the people who resisted tyranny have been awakened! On Friday, the Axis of Evil is about to collapse and victory is imminent! On Saturday, the axis of evil has collapsed and the long-lost peace has returned!
Sunday, the mysterious ancient Eastern country that is incompetent with the world.
This process could be applied to any country, as Alan Wilson performed his duties as a steward, focusing on the minutiae. Eden naturally has to fulfill his responsibilities as prime minister, expounding the British military's nuclear strategy and the responsibilities of each service, and announcing it in the House of Commons in front of members of the two major parties.
He proposed Britain's nuclear force program in a debate on foreign affairs in the House of Commons. Main: The UK's proposed nuclear force has four components: "British V-bombers, except for such aircraft required to fulfill obligations outside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization area; a British nuclear submarine force; a number at least equal to that of the United States" British nuclear submarines; some kind of mixed force or jointly owned force that non-nuclear countries could also participate in.
The fourth part is related to a certain major power. The British and American governments agreed on the need to "prevent the further proliferation of nuclear weapons" and welcomed "continued proposals for the supervision and disarmament of weapons, especially due to the recent nuclear tests of a major power."
"The Prime Minister really has ambitious goals." Alan Wilson hugged Pokina and sighed at Eden's explanation of the British nuclear strategy.
"What's wrong? What do you think is wrong?" Pokina moved her body and looked at the cabinet secretary who was not doing his job properly.
"Catching up with the number of nuclear submarines in the United States. It's quite difficult." Alan Wilson told the truth. He thought it would almost certainly not be possible. He estimated that Aiden was joking.
