Chapter 135 Inspection by the Future Prime Minister

Industrial transfer is not an untouchable secret. In fact, it has happened once. The United States was the sweatshop of Europe in the 19th century.

Not only British capital, capital from any European country can be found in the United States. It was the First World War that freed the United States from the control of foreign capital.

The next time, it will start in the next few years, and Japan will take over the global manufacturing industry from the United States.

Before World War II, Japan was already one of the top ten industrial powers in the world. Of course, this top ten is only at the level of Czechoslovakia and Italy, and is far from the European powers.

After the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, was monopolized by the United States. At that time, many industrial facilities in Japan were damaged in the war. Based on the consideration of revitalizing Japan's industrialization, the United States decided to transform Japan as a Western Asian factory.

Now that Japan may be cut off by the Soviet Union, whether the United States is not carrying out industrial transfers, Alan Wilson believes that it is not possible. Although Hokkaido is not small in size, its population is too small. It has no impact at all on other parts of Japan that are controlled by the United States.

If the United States can do this, so can Europe. Anyway, the United States only started to do this in the 1950s. At that time, European countries should have recovered, or even earlier, and rushed to carry out industrial transfers before the Americans.

British Malaya had a much smaller population than Japan, and Europe could afford it completely, and it was impossible to be hollowed out.

In fact, it was not Alan Wilson who chose British Malaya, but the London government who chose British Malaya. Almost at the same time that British India became independent, the Labor Party government mobilized 50,000 British troops to wield butcher knives in British Malaya, and the British army also participated in the Dutch-Indian War.

Of course, what interests Harold Wilson the most is the metaphor of changing a plane for a million shirts. Very expressive, "Alan, as you said, the times are advancing and technology is developing, but industries such as the textile industry support a large number of jobs."

"Secretary of Congress, the added value of the textile industry is too limited. We can't sell a shirt for a hundred pounds, right? Who would buy it!" Alan Wilson expressed helplessness with a face full of helplessness.

In fact, it is not that no country can do it, just add the color of luxury. But it just so happened that Britain couldn't do it. The countries in Europe that could do it were France and Italy. The French were famous, and Italy even had the bonus of the Roman Empire.

Although some Asian countries like to prove that Italy has nothing to do with the Roman Empire, Alan Wilson knows that European countries recognize the history of Italy, and there is no market for the remarks of German barbarians.

"It was a pleasure chatting with you? I believe this trip to the British-occupied area will be a good experience." Harold Wilson found that the young civil servant in front of him seemed very talkative.

There is no rejection of him! When I came to Hannover today, what cold reception did I receive? How could Harold Wilson, who used to be a civil servant, not understand? Just a few months ago? I was still part of the civil service group.

Now you are on the opposite side and become a MP? These civil servants in the British-occupied area want to give themselves a blow.

Harold Wilson was very pleased with the friendliness shown by Alan Wilson who came to receive him naturally.

In the afternoon? Harold Wilson met with members of the British Occupied Trade Committee? He participated in a boring and very boring meeting. When he was a civil servant, Harold Wilson didn't realize that this kind of meeting was so boring.

Changed his identity? In the eyes of Harold Wilson, the meetings he often attended before? He also changed his taste.

After the meeting, Harold Wilson made a decision in his heart? Go to the British-occupied area in person? See for yourself what the current state of the British-occupied area is like? After returning, he can tell the prime minister.

"Mr. Harold is still a man of action." After hearing this, Alan Wilson praised with a full face. "This is so admirable. It should be said that Labor Party politicians like to get close to the people."

Get close to the people! Harold Wilson likes this term very much? After becoming a politician, he quickly changed his thinking. Everything likes to be linked to votes? Although the Germans in the British-occupied area do not have British voting rights. But it can still be considered a good exercise opportunity.

"It is mainly reflected in the fact that the British Empire has no ill will towards the Germans." Although Harold Wilson was thinking about his own future, he still put the national image of the British Empire first.

"Yes, this may be an opportunity for reconciliation. We need to create an image that is friendly and not detached from the people at the bottom." Alan Wilson also followed Harold Wilson's words, "We need to let the Germans understand that, Parliamentarians in the UK are actually the same as ordinary people in Germany, which can create a sense of intimacy."

This is similar to the setting of people in later generations. The stars are like the positive and pleasing image created by the public. Personality is to celebrities what packaging is to commodities, making it easier to attract fans. The common ones are foodies, honest people, and academics...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, politicians who are dealing with elections anytime, anywhere are similar to the needs of show stars.

They are all the same hypocrisy, but on the surface they have to behave against their will to win favor.

Harold Wilson nodded in approval, and was very satisfied with Alan Wilson's narration. Although coming to the British-occupied area caused a little unhappiness, it seems that it is not completely fruitless.

In fact, the respected MPs of the ruling party are ready to make speeches. Although they may not be used, if they are used, they can be used as an experience for him just entering the political arena.

It is precisely because he has just entered the political arena that Harold Wilson still has a lot to learn, and speeches are one of them.

Because of his lack of experience, Harold Wilson also needed time to prepare, and refinement was the most difficult. The fourth-level tactics for politicians' speeches are nothing more than these four steps.

The first stage of the speech: be able to speak down; the second stage: make the short speech long. It shows that the knowledge reserve is enough; the third stage: make the long talk short. It shows that the main point has been grasped; the fourth stage: grow as long as you want, short as you want to be short, and completely control the field. It shows that you have mastered the rules and can speak in a targeted manner, and the effect can be the best.

Harold Wilson, who was only twenty-nine years old, and Alan Wilson, who was nominally in his twenties, were both preparing for the Secretary of Congress's trip to the British-occupied area, but in different places.

In all fairness, Alan Wilson has no experience in this area, and he also knows that Harold Wilson actually doesn't either. The double-Wilson combination is in the stage of beginners.

From the second day onwards, the double-Wilson team started their tour of the British-occupied area. Simply speaking, they walked from one ruin to another. When he was in China, Harold Wilson only heard about the tragedy of the British-occupied area. In Wilson's eyes, it should be what London looked like when it was bombed by Germany.

But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that it was completely different. It had been three months since the war, and there were still ruins as far as the eye could see. From time to time, people could still dig out the corpses inside from the ruins of reason.

But it is not without gratification. For example, in the report of the British Occupied Area Trade Committee, it is not a lie at all to mention the enthusiasm shown by German women in reconstruction.

After linking rations to labor, the Germans are astonishingly hardworking, which has now been confirmed by Harold Wilson.

From Hannover to Hamburg, from Cologne to Essen, Harold Wilson, who had entered the state of a politician, broke out with shocking physical strength. Alan Wilson even had the illusion that he was accompanying the other party in the general election.

It's completely unnecessary, even traveling to two cities a day, which is more diligent than Alan Wilson himself in the Ruhr area some time ago. new understanding.

In late August, Alan Wilson and Harold Wilson arrived at the last stop of the plan, Bonn. Bonn finally looked like a city, at least compared to other cities in the Ruhr area that were damaged. Can see past.

Isabella Bokina, head of the German Women's Work and Labor Bureau in Bonn, led the women organized by the labor bureau to welcome Hadro Wilson's arrival. This kind of welcoming scene made Alan Wilson slightly frown, Because similar scenes always appear in countries similar to the Soviet Union.

However, considering that during the Third Reich, similar organizational welcomes should have been commonplace, it is not surprising.

If Harold Wilson had been German, he might have gotten some sort of Friend of Ladies, and of course it's about the same now.

Harold Wilson, who received a warm welcome, seemed flattered. The speeches he had prepared all along finally came in handy. Other cities were too badly damaged, and the local women didn't have time to listen to an Englishman.

Unlike Bonn, the basic conditions of a city have basically been restored, which can just be used to set a model and prove the British Empire's efforts to rebuild the British-occupied area.

"Bonn is the hometown of Beethoven..." Harold Wilson opened a long-prepared but useless speech to the citizens of Bonn who warmly welcomed him.

"The hair is cut short, and the temperament is different." Alan Wilson stared straight at Isabella Bokina, listening to Harold Wilson's speech with one ear and out the other.

It is very similar to the wife of the Soviet boxing champion played by Brigitte Nelson in the Rocky movie, with short hair that is capable and capable, with a hint of strong woman temperament.
