Chapter 1391 Refugee Camp

Trade protectionism, ignoring the support of property rights, currency manipulation and slave labor are all very familiar crimes. In addition to slave labor, it can be said that they can all be applied to Japan. Does Japan dare to deny it?

Japan does implement a trade protection policy, and at the same time it also ignores on a large scale the support for property rights to prevent European and American products. As for currency manipulation, both Japan and Germany have long held down their exchange rates to promote exports with the acquiescence of the United States.

As for slave labor, it may be more accurate to replace it with forced labor. These so-called crimes are not unique to Japan. Late-developing countries all have similar problems to varying degrees. However, now that the world war has ended twenty-five years ago, Japan is no longer devastated as before, and it is no longer justified to continue to do so.

Wick has already presented a series of evidence on TV. Food and clothing are trivial, but automotive appliances are worth talking about. Various classic models can find their twin brothers among Japanese cars. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche are no exception, and there are even Land Rover models, all of which were brought out by Wick for comparison.

Every time Wick paused in his speech, the venue burst into thunderous applause. Of course, Alan Wilson believed that American television would definitely focus on the copied American brands.

"We cannot continue like this. We have tolerated Japan's bowing and apologizing for many years, but this is not a problem that can be solved by bowing and apologizing. The tolerance of the UK and other countries is limited."

Wicker sternly criticized, "Today, Japan has participated in the ten-nation summit and participated in the financial summit as a country with strong economic strength. It can no longer continue to base itself on the world with these negative impressions."

"Not bad!" Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction. In a few days, he can hand over the position of permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a few years, there will be no colonies on the British books, and there is no need to hold diplomatic work in hand at all times. Okay. Xia Mengdao, "What do you think of my subordinates?"

"Not as good as you." Xia Meng said obediently, satisfying the vanity of supreme authority, "Why do we expend so much effort to deal with Japan?"

"The resources in the world are limited, and countries are winner-take-all. Japan's development and growth will only increase the power of the United States. Japan is not qualified to impose conditions." Alan Wilson explained coldly, " Give it another ten years and look at what will happen to Japan."

It's not that he has any prejudice against Japan. Although the Japanese army's march south in World War II did make Britain lose its reputation, that is all in the past. Alan Wilson was definitely not targeting Japan. If national strength had not allowed it, he would have even wanted to do it to the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, Japan's good days will not last long. As long as Japan makes the United States feel pain in semiconductors, that is when the United States will really start to deal with Japan seriously.

Considering that the power retained by Britain and France is far greater than in history, and the threat of the Soviet Union in Europe prevents the United States from arbitrarily touching Europe, the arrival of the Plaza Accord will only be brought forward rather than delayed.

In Alan Wilson's time, many people didn't actually know how strong Japan's economy had been. He still remembers the Japanese Isuzus running all over the Forestry Bureau, and the four Sino-Japanese joint ventures posted on the outer walls of the latest processing plant office buildings. Words, looking back now, the Sino-Japanese joint venture processing plant has been bankrupt for 20 years, and I don’t know how many times it has changed hands.

The Plaza Accord is the most powerful blow the United States has made in peacetime. It almost shattered the ambitions of the entire Japanese economic community. Without this agreement, what would have been lost in the past thirty years?

The TV screen switched to the expression of the Japanese Foreign Minister. Alan Wilson hugged Xia Meng and smiled, "Look, the Japanese are also embarrassed sometimes, but don't be deceived by their superficial skills. Let me tell you, the most beautiful person in the world is They are the countries that hope your country will never recover."

"Aren't you happy that the yellow race is fighting within the country?" Xia Meng pinched the man's arm. She would have never dared to do so before, but now, Xia Meng has finally realized the value of her united front.

"Can a country with nearly 10 million square kilometers and a population of 800 million have some potential? Huh?" Alan Wilson pinched Xia Meng's chin and asked.

Shaking his head slightly, "You have been abroad for too long, and you may have lost a little energy. With the US troops stationed in Japan and South Korea, it is simply impossible for you to say no internal fighting."

In terms of industrial ecological niche, if a big country cannot crush Japan and South Korea, how can it pose a threat to Europe and the United States? But if Japan and South Korea are to be crushed, Japan and South Korea will of course cling to the thighs of the United States. How can this logical closed loop be broken?

At this meeting, Wick, who was attending on his own behalf, also had to operate behind closed doors with the Americans in order to make the United States realize the threat from Japan. The theoretical basis for this was naturally done by Alan Wilson himself, and Wick was just the executor. This basis was that Japan was driving down the profits of European and American countries. Because Japan was here, everyone's life was not good.

The Japanese economic threat theory has already appeared in the United States in this era, but Alan Wilson has more specific vocabulary to apply to Japan, such as the crusher of developed countries.

After half a month, the Group of Ten countries signed the Smithsonian Agreement, a full year earlier than in history. Among the proposals proposed by the United Kingdom and supported by France, it also passed a resolution condemning trade protectionism, ignoring support for property rights, currency manipulation, and The content of slave labor.

Maybe these contents are of little use for the time being, but as long as the United States one day feels that Japan needs to make sacrifices, this is an excuse that can be used at any time. This can also be regarded as Britain's help to the United States from the standpoint of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Mr. Xin of the countries that signed the agreement breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had only been a few months, from the time Nixon announced that he would no longer convert gold to the end of the year, there was a lot of chaos in the import and export of various countries.

It can be expected that this year's economic growth will definitely not be very good. However, since there is a reason, the responsibility can be shifted to the United States. The White House gave professional advice, and Harold Wilson directly adopted it. During the inquiry in the House of Commons, Han Huhu pointed out that the economic growth is not as expected, which is entirely the fault of the United States, and the government is already thinking of ways.

What the Prime Minister said is so good, that is the problem of the United States. If the United States had not been unable to sustain the default, the British economic growth would have been very good this year. What if the economic growth next year is not good?

It depends on what will happen in the world next year, which will allow the UK to shirk its responsibility.

Alan Wilson accompanied the Secretary of Defense to see the Typhoon fighter jet again, and Dennis Healy also got into the cockpit. After all, the arc-shaped canopy will cause image distortion, which is an effect similar to a convex lens. In the early days, All fighter planes rely on cannons to fight. If the field of view is distorted, it will be very troublesome to fight. Therefore, the mirror directly in front of the cabin must be flat, and to integrate with the curved canopy behind, the mirrors on both sides must be There is a transition so that a three-piece windshield is formed.

The Spey engine is not a problem. Since it is a new fighter, some things that are not as good as expected can be forgiven. I believe no one will think that the first-generation 15 aircraft in the 1970s is the same as the 15 in 2020, even if it is not as good as expected. They are both called 15.

In fact, many weapons have not changed much in appearance, that is, their appearance has not changed, but their insides have been completely changed. All weapons have been continuously modified to achieve the maximum design standards.

Judging from Dennis Healy's reaction, Alan Wilson felt that the new members of the Royal Air Force would soon receive surprising orders.

While here and the Secretary of Defense are making contributions to British defense, the situation in distant South Asia has changed again. The Bangladeshis cannot accept that the military overturned the election results. They are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan and cannot Always accept the position of being exploited, even if it is for the sake of the greater good or the excuse of being the same religion.

It has been more than 20 years since independence. Even religious fanaticism will ebb. If we can endure it to this day, Bangladeshis can be considered worthy of Pakistan as a country.

The slogan of East Pakistan's autonomy appeared for the first time in the center of Dhaka. The Bangladeshis believed that their demands were reasonable and did not want independence. They just hoped that West Pakistan would face up to its demands.

The Pakistani military did face this demand. Yahya Khan immediately ordered the Bihar military police in Dhaka to suppress the Bengalis who knew nothing about power. At the same time, the air force was used to transport troops to East Pakistan. The conflict occurred, and Extremely bloody.

As for Rehman, the leader of the Pakistan Awami League, the largest party in East Pakistan, he was naturally broken into by government troops and was thrown directly into prison. Immediately, Yahya Khan declared his party illegal and banned its activities from now on.

As a reporter, and a reporter who loves money and is adventurous, Marlowe also abides by the spirit of the contract. He knows what his employer wants to see and works hard for it.

After the military took action, he knew that this was the big news that the country needed, so he took action. The refugee camp was located fifty kilometers west of Dhaka. There were three large temporary camps along the road, each with an area of ​​nearly an area. There are ten tents of 100 square meters, and hundreds of refugees are queuing up to go through registration procedures.

Several Bangladeshis were washing their feet around a makeshift tap. At the entrance of a grass-green tent, four children were eating a kind of white flour pancake. The women were wrapped tightly in black gauze and reporters were not allowed to approach their tents.

Marlowe walked respectfully to a police car, pulled out a pound and asked an officer what he could photograph. The other person said in slow English: "Refugees in the camp. But don't shoot the police in!"

If he was told what would happen if the refugees refused to be photographed and they attacked him, the officer deadpanned: "I think you know what to do."

He immediately took the opportunity to take photos carefully, trying not to photograph the police or anger the nervous refugees. Try to smile at everyone and quickly determine whether the subject will allow the shutter to be pressed.
