Chapter 1325 Independence Commitment

"How come, you sisters are different in my mind." Alan Wilson immediately changed his mind. As an active Rocket Force, he has rich combat experience to express his position.

German optical technology was not developed later, but was traditionally very strong. When World War I broke out, most of the glass used for precision optics in the world came from Germany. The situation in the UK was the worst. 60% of optical glass depends on Germany.

Early in the war, Britain began publishing appeals in newspapers for private donations of cameras, gun sights, and other optical instruments, as well as outright requisitioning of unsold optical instruments from private individuals and companies.

As Pokina said, this is Germany's traditional advantageous industry. Of course, Germany has begun to receive competition from Japan in the past two years. Therefore, at the European Community meeting, the United Kingdom attacked Japan hard. What kind of exchange rate manipulation? What about ignoring intellectual property rights? Germany is following behind and waving the flag.

"Does the UK want to develop the semiconductor industry?" Bokina asked the aspiring middle-aged man in front of her lazily after experiencing the man's attentive service, "It seems that the United States is the strongest now."

"And Japan." Alan Wilson added, "Of course Japan's domestic market cannot support its ambitions, and its basic conditions are not very good."

The level to which Japan can reach depends entirely on how far the United States is prepared to let Japan go. The basic conditions of this country are there. If the external environment is even slightly worse, it will be over. As for South Korea, its resistance is even worse. They are both island countries, and the United Kingdom has one. European markets can be relied upon for offshore balancing, for which one should be grateful.

"Japan, yes, Japan has appeared more frequently in newspapers in Europe in recent years. Many Japanese tourists have also appeared in Germany." Pokina commented, "It seems that the Japanese are very rich. , they are everywhere.”

"It's just that the country is rich and the people are poor." Alan Wilson snorted, "It's just the long-term expectations that have given this generation of Japanese people confidence. Japan's past life was too bad, and the comparison shows the happiness. It's hard for me as a foreigner to evaluate In your country, compared with the Japanese, the British are a little overwhelmed with blessings. As long as they can withstand this round of development, Japan will have no future."

In fact, what do these things do? In his time, it was the Japanese version of the process of all-out attack, focused attack, focused defense, and even total defeat, which had already entered the third stage. Even if the per capita per capita in the 1990s is 50,000, can it be compared with the per capita per capita of 40,000 in the 21st century?

Japan and South Korea, as the first competitors to a major country's industrial upgrading, felt the pressure earlier than European countries. If a country stands still, it will inevitably affect all aspects of the country.

This is true even for a small animation industry. Even the scale of Japan's customs industry is shrinking, but the output value of specialty movies is rising. This means that fewer people are actually engaging in body trade, and more people are watching movies to masturbate.

Of course, Britain itself cannot kill Japan. The U.S. market is open to Japan, and Britain's efforts in Europe can only make Japan's growth slightly slower.

"You are really vigilant. The British per capita income is not worse than that of the United States, but you can pay attention to Japan in the distance." Bokina reached out and touched Alan Wilson's face and praised.

"Of course, you think I am your sister. You can't see the ground when you lower your head." Alan Wilson said with a pun, which made Pokina's face stiffen. Then she straightened her back and showed her majesty, "I just can't see the ground. Am I proud? Who is always talking in sleep and unable to breathe? "

The annual reports published by the Japanese government have always been sent to him in English. Of course, he does not believe them all. Who the hell says that what is published must be true? The counterfeiting that has been going on for decades in various industries in Japan will no longer be a secret after a few decades.

The parameters of transformers are falsified, the strength of steel is falsified, let alone Japan, and the United States has a history of falsifying submarine steel for decades.

However, this kind of fraud can only be felt by countries that are close to it. A certain big country was initially shocked by the parameters of American weapons, but it continued to test and still could not reach a comparable level.

In the end, it can only be used to deal with it. I have this kind of doubt in my heart. Who makes the United States so rich? Maybe it really has Zenith Star technology.

It wasn't until one day that the fraud in the United States was exposed, and a certain big country breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that you are also from the earth.

As for Japan's counterfeiting, which mainly focuses on civilian use, it makes sense that Japan later ranked second in the world and was later left behind by European countries.

Britain, an old imperialist country, is now supporting a Malayan colony. Alan Wilson has given Kuala Lumpur a task. Any industry that has overlap between Malaya and Japan, as long as Japan does not increase the cost, is better than the same product in Malaya. The parameters are much higher, so investigate immediately.

As long as Malaya persists until the Vietnam War is over, it can expect victory in its strategic competition with Japan.

The United States will not continue to benefit Japan as before after spending hundreds of billions of dollars in vain. In fact, in a sense, the trade war between the United States and Japan in the 1970s suddenly intensified. There is only one reason. The domestic consumption of the United States has reached its peak and the potential cannot be tapped. Continuing to open the market to Japanese products will only harm the United States.

Of course, in the end, the United States solved the problem with petrodollars, and at the same time turned the country's middle class into a pseudo-middle class that has been burdened with loans since birth, once again increasing consumption.

A big country in the 21st century is facing the same problem as Japan in the 1980s. The consumption of the United States has once again peaked, and this time the United States itself has no way to find a solution. The petrodollar has been used from birth to death. The loan has also been used. As the world's policeman, the United States has a per capita income that is 20,000 higher than other developed European countries. In Europe, the per capita income is about 40,000, and in the United States, it is more than 60,000. How can it also increase consumption power?

Anyway, Alan Wilson came up with a way under the premise that technology could not break through. It might be a way to bring down the only two remaining thorns in the world, just like the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the entire industry. The competitors disappeared and the market was vacated. However, This move risks world war.

Naturally, the United States cannot go in on its own. It still needs a few scapegoats to test the enemy's firepower. This is all for the cause of the free world. It is better for you to die than for the United States to die.

"Nyerere hopes that the United Kingdom will help them build a railway to increase the circulation of local goods." Brest explained the main issues that Nyerere raised when he met the Prime Minister in front of the supreme authority. "Of course, the Prime Minister has passed on the difficulty of construction. Big no.”

"Oh, the construction is too difficult. That is also a reason." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "It does require a lot of energy to go to the sea from Rhodesia to the East African port. This is not good for the UK. The Prime Minister is doing it for the national interest. It was gratifying that Nyerere was turned down.”

Although a nearly 2,000-kilometer railway can transport Rhodesian copper mines, it is not very attractive to the United Kingdom because there are currently two railways available, one to South Africa and the other to Portugal. Although it controls Mozambique, it is still beneficial to the development of the Great Lakes region of East Africa.

In addition to expanding the influence of this railway in Africa and breaking diplomatic isolation, a major country also has an economic agreement, which is not entirely without economic benefits. Alan Wilson remembers that the railway came with a trade deal whereby Tanzanians would buy whatever they could afford from a big country, and a big country would buy five million pounds a year from Tanzania. Cash will be paid for the shortfall in purchases from Tanzania.

So, although China-Africa friendship is important, trade is also important, and there is no such thing as the evaluation of being taken advantage of. Britain also has plans to develop the Great Lakes region of Africa. If a major country builds such a railway, it will also be a beneficial place for Britain.

An hour later, the prime minister summoned Alan Wilson and asked his cabinet secretary, "Can we still control East Africa?"

"I think it's okay, Prime Minister. The Zanzibar military base is reserved to deal with the current situation." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "Aren't there still Egyptians to help? China is too far away from Africa, and its weak navy You can’t even cross a strait, let alone want to appear in Africa?”

Why? Is it possible to rely on yellow water battleships to go to Africa offshore Iowa? It's not like Britain has no battleships, and they all have a fleet in the ports of Malaya.

Regarding an East African colony that is about to become independent, some may want to show favor to the Soviet bloc. Of course, Britain can theoretically intervene with armed force, but? Because there is a railway intervention that the locals are eagerly looking forward to. After the intervention is completed, nothing will be gained except a completely bad reputation.

Alan Wilson was not talking to foreign countries in front of the Prime Minister, but in fact there was not much local British power left. The troops were all withdrawn to Zanzibar. Except for some senior advisers, most positions within the government were also handed over to locals. The immigrants all went to British Kenya.

"Then let Nyerere decide what to do! I have thought about this year and next year to choose a time to let them become independent." Harold Wilson thought about it and made up his mind. The interests that Britain now focuses on retaining are in the Far East and The Middle East and Africa have never been among those that must be retained.

"It's almost time." Alan Wilson nodded. Although Nyerere did not receive much financial support when he came to the UK this time, he still received the UK's commitment to independence next year.

Returning to the capital Dar es Salaam a few days later, Nyerere announced in front of many supporters that the British had given him the promise of independence, "Next year, a new country will emerge in Africa, and we will join forces with the British Break up peacefully and stand independently and proudly in the world."
