Chapter 1384 Strategic Transformation

"Secretary-General, Ireland is trying to join the European Community." Wick said, "Ireland has been trying to join the European Community in recent years, and it will definitely be discussed at the European Community meeting."

"The more countries there are, the harder it is to control them. Let Lisbon object on the grounds that Northern Ireland's status is unclear." Alan Wilson explained, "Now the Northern Ireland issue is an issue between us and Ireland, and it cannot become a problem between the United Kingdom and the European Community. If Ireland becomes a member of the European Community, France is likely to use this issue to clamp down on us."

Historically, when Ireland joined the European Community, De Gaulle shut the United Kingdom out of the European Community. The United Kingdom attracted Ireland and Denmark to join together in order to improve its chances of winning against France. But obviously things did not evolve according to the British ideas.

The European Community in this world has a completely different origin, and there is no need for Britain to bring in the annoying Irish. De Gaulle once said in another time and space that Britain would never want to join the European Community while he was alive, and Alan Wilson would also Treat Ireland like this.

It is now known that the true age of the Cabinet Secretary is forty-three years old, so when he retires in twenty-two years, Ireland may join the European Community.

"The Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will conduct a thorough review of all local industries and British-owned enterprises in the Commonwealth and report to me when the time comes. As for the European industry investigation, I have asked MI6 to conduct it secretly."

When Alan Wilson said this, he looked at Brest, the Permanent Secretary of the Home Office, who was assigned from the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary to the Home Office. "For the time being, the pricing of the Bretton Woods system still has reference value, but we all know that this system has already It can no longer be exchanged for gold. Necessary adjustments must be made locally and overseas to adapt to the new changes. According to Nixon's words, the New Economic Policy, I seem to remember, Lenin's economic policy was also called that."

"Development should be shared." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "Call the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Scottish Affairs and I will talk to him."

The Permanent Secretary of the Department of Scottish Affairs is an old acquaintance. Richard, the previous High Commissioner to Malaya, actually wanted to swap the positions of High Commissioner for the Persian Gulf and High Commissioner for Malaya after Richard's term ended. Because they are all acquaintances.

To a certain extent, Alan Wilson is also nostalgic. In fact, he is similar to the current Soviet leader Brezhnev. He likes familiar faces and dislikes unfamiliar faces.

The current High Commissioner of Malaya is Alisa, a heroine in the civil service system who firmly supports the supreme authority. Considering the distance, Alan Wilson cannot let her come all the way back.

Richard also knew Malaya well, and it was the same when talking to him. By the way, he talked about Scottish issues that were not relevant at this time.

Strictly speaking, the United Kingdom did not transfer industry, but only carried out industrial division of labor within the British Empire, so it chose Malaya. Malayan industry is British industry, but it will be separated when statistics are collected. When to count Malayan industry and local industry, and when not to count it depends on what we are facing. Different problems are different. statistical standards.

At present, the per capita output value of Malaya is roughly the same as that of Japan, both are two thousand US dollars. Of course, Malaya is calculated in pounds, which is more than seven hundred pounds.

The per capita output value of the British mainland is also 2,000, which is only 2,000 pounds. The gap between Malaya and the British mainland is about 2.6 times. In fact, this gap is just right.

If the difference is too far, the residents of Malaya are likely to think of living in Britain. The relationship between the British mainland and Malaya is not division of labor and cooperation, but there is a risk of impacting the British mainland.

"Coupled with some additional factors, such as the livability of the local area and the comparative advantages of the region, the local people in Malaya almost only regard the UK as a tourist place. They will not have the urge to leave their hometown and sneak into the country, which is very important for us. All good." Alan Wilson asked after hearing this, "I think the surrounding countries are very motivated to sneak into Malaya."

"Secretary-General,

You are right. Before I left office, the problem of smuggling people was already very serious. It happened everywhere, especially after the independence of Dutch Kalimantan. Smuggling into East Malaysia is very stressful. "Richard readily admitted that the gap in Kalimantan is actually quite small.

Now countries have generally accepted GDP calculation, but the calculation method of currency value is different. The pound area uses pounds to calculate, and other countries use US dollars to calculate. In US dollars, the per capita is 200 in the Philippines, 200 in Thailand, 100 in rubles in Indonesia, and less than 100 pounds in Myanmar.

The gap between Malaya and the British mainland is less than three times, and the gap between Malaya and the surrounding countries has widened to five to ten times. Malaya does not think about making money from the British mainland, and many neighboring countries also go to Malaya. In Yarun, there is the threat of foreign immigrants, which is also the reason why the British army can gain a foothold. When you open the specific news, every day you will see how many illegal immigrants the British army has caught.

"So people in Malaya, after working hard, want to experience the life of the superior people, just go to Thailand and the Philippines nearby. They will come back after a while." Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, "This is good , if they flood into the mainland, it may cause unnecessary conflicts. Of course, we must also treat neighboring countries with courtesy."

"The Secretary-General can rest assured about this. Even if we capture fishermen from a certain big country, we will treat them well and give them plenty of food before putting them back." When Richard said this, he also added, "The main thing is that we can't mess with them. When it comes to them, there are too many fishing boats, and they all carry guns."

"As for the maritime militia, they are all small boats anyway. How much more can we catch? If something really happens, we can't afford them to drag the battleship out to chase the fishing boat?" Alan Wilson nodded, "It's the right thing to do today. Our friends may be our enemies tomorrow. Who says that the relationship between the two countries cannot be improved? In the past few years, African countries have been calling for them to return to the United Nations. Maybe one day the two countries will become a responsible major power relationship again. This Who can tell for sure.”

Those battleships that are bigger than his father should just stay in compliance with the minimum navigation standards. Even if the logistics contract is given to the Chinese and everything is cleaned up, who knows if they will overturn midway when they are put into combat? It's okay to take a bubble bath there, maybe you can scare others.

Richard has a say in the comparison of income. In fact, the per capita income of Malaya is a little lower than that of Japan. However, if the Malays are excluded, the income of the Chinese is a little higher than that of the Japanese. But No matter what, it is much higher than surrounding countries.

You are an independent country and Malaya is a colony. Is it useful? You listen to the radio, I watch TV, you ride a bicycle and I drive. We all have a bright future with each other.

"Pamela will invite some emirs to be guests in a while. You can send invitations to the sultans of Malaya on my behalf." Alan Wilson ordered softly, "There are some things to talk about, is that okay?"

"Leave it to my secretary-general!" Richard immediately said that it was no problem. As for what he wanted to talk about, he didn't care. He didn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

In fact, there are also people from the four major families in Hong Kong. Pamela Mountbatten herself notified these people, so they don't need him as a civil servant to worry about.

When the Brayston System is about to disintegrate, it is very normal for stakeholders to want to sit down and talk to deal with the turbulent situation in the future. It is better to prepare early.

There is strength in numbers. Although we come from different countries and have different beliefs, in the face of interests, we can definitely put aside our prejudices and create a better future together.

Before this private business meeting, a Japanese oil tanker ran aground in the Suins Canal and blocked the waterway, which became the source of mutual accusations and abuse between Egypt and Japan. Japan claimed that it was Egypt's fault. Egypt refuted this accusation and asked Japan for compensation. Otherwise, it would not rule out treating Japanese ships differently in the future.

This dispute between Egypt and Japan naturally has nothing to do with Britain, but if we want to say the source of this incident, it is of course me, Great Britain.

When Prince Munnam arrived in London, he was still chattering about the rudeness of the Japanese. Alan Wilson immediately assured that Britain would definitely stand on Egypt's side and "must claim compensation from Japan. How many such things have happened in Japan in recent years" Yes, I think there is a problem with Japan’s shipbuilding technology.”

Not to mention anything else, last year the Japanese ocean-going fishing vessel sank in the North Atlantic. The Royal Navy had to work very hard and launched emergency rescue operations but still could not find it. Although it was sunk by a fishing boat from Newfoundland, Alan Wilson covered it up. Who knows? Since no one knows, it will naturally sink.

"Princess Badia, you are so charming." Alan Wilson greeted politely and told lies against his will. Although the other party is the honorable princess, he is not as beautiful as Hedy Lamarr and the British. Geri Bergman still can't compare.

"The secretary-general is really good at talking, and Pamela is the most charming." Princess Badia accepted the agreement with a smile, and then looked at some emirs and sultans in the Hoxon Manor, nodding secretly in her heart.

Pamela Mountbatten is introducing the Emerald House of the Manor. It is known that Peace Christians prefer green things due to religious and living environment reasons. Several emirs showed very interested expressions and commented on the Emerald House.

Not long after, a group of people and their sister-in-law entered the manor, ready to talk about the development of the community of interests. This matter did not need to be known to the British officials. If a good friend of yours comes to the UK as a guest, do you still need to report it to Whitehall? When the time comes for these protectorates to become independent, it will not be too late for the government to step forward.

Bang...Alan Wilson lit a cigar and blew out a long smoke ring. In the emirates of Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai, all of them will have a piece of cloth on their heads.
