Chapter 1430 The Ultimate Plan

After learning the date of de Gaulle's funeral through diplomatic channels, the Prime Minister began making arrangements for his itinerary. I wonder if he would have thought that his death would be greater than his lifetime contribution.

It's not impossible to think so. The status of France and Britain has been unequal since the Franco-Prussian War, and Britain's feelings have to be taken into consideration when formulating policies.

This resulted in decades of dependence. From this point of view, de Gaulle came to power and reversed this unequal relationship, which must have made the British side feel a little disappointed.

But Britain should be content. If Alan Wilson hadn't existed, the problem Britain would face would not be loss, but humiliation, being shut out of the European Community by France and asking for entry in a cowardly way.

Later, Pamela Mountbatten, who had finished her hunting trip to the south, called and said that she would also attend de Gaulle's funeral and talk to her friends in France, "Also, if we send Albert to join the army, he should still be in the country." Serve safely.”

"I don't have any objections. Marshal Mountbatten has already made up his mind," said Alan Wilson. "Since the child likes the military career, it would be a good idea to join the army for training."

After putting down the phone, Alan Wilson continued to write the standards for scrapped vehicles. At the same time, he asked Kuala Lumpur to add evidence to demonstrate the logical relationship between car depreciation and the percentage of car accidents. Scrapped vehicles also include agricultural machinery and motorcycles. At the same time, he performed strict Catching up modified cars, and handing over all scrapped cars that have reached their end of life to the colonial government for unified disposal.

But luxury cars are an exception. Different values ​​naturally lead to different treatment. No matter what the regulations are, in a capitalist place, you should follow the Romans, so that you can go beyond it in the long run, otherwise there will be the problem of "I really have a cow".

Not long after, thirty-one articles had been written. Article thirty-one was only a short line of words. These measures will come into effect from the date of promulgation.

"I wonder if the UK will ever encounter a secretary-general like me who has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge and combines the advantages of the two systems." Alan Wilson stood by the window and sighed as if his back was turned to all living beings.

De Gaulle had already made a will, "My funeral will be simple. There will be no state funeral, no national leaders and representatives from all walks of life will attend, no band, no speeches, and no eulogy from Congress.", but as a wartime leader, As a member of the human race, de Gaulle’s status is here. Leaders from all over the world have expressed their intention to attend.

The first person to express his intention to attend was British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, which set off a trend. After the news spread that Harold Wilson expressed his intention to attend, leaders from various European countries expressed their intention to attend, including the German Chancellor. Dignitaries from various countries, including Brandt, have already set off in advance.

Because de Gaulle died of illness while in office, unlike in history when he died of illness in his hometown, his will to be simple was destined to only be partially realized.

Taking advantage of the occasion of this funeral, Harold Wilson also wanted to discuss with Prime Minister Pierre Mesmer, who took over the affairs of state when de Gaulle was reclusive, about the relationship between Britain and France in the post-Bretton Woods era. How to protect interests, of course, there is also the role of Germany.

"If this were two thousand years ago, why wouldn't De Gaulle's status be comparable to that of the Western Roman Emperor?" Meeting his family members at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Alan Wilson looked at the Woodpecker Pictures headquarters opposite and made a small statement. Not a small sigh.

"Father, isn't it?" Pamela said before her mother, "Then what is Britain?"

"You're a British savage." Alan Wilson looked at his daughter, who was good at feeding killer whales and raising crocodiles. "I'm very pessimistic about your future. What will you do in the future?"

"You can't say that, father, there is Albert who joined the army, and if you want the next generation to enter Whitehall, there is also Arnold. As a woman, I don't have to shoulder the hope of revitalizing the family. Mother can just give me an industry to run." Pamela made a plethora of comments, expressing both her wants and her expectations for life.

"What a dream. The Comet airliner carries the trust of 100,000 local employees.

That’s 100,000 families. Land Rover has different production lines in different places. There is only the Range Rover production line in the country, and there are fewer employees involved. Including the headquarters, there are 40,000 employees to bear the responsibility. This does not include automobiles, which is a highly interconnected industry with at least 200,000 spin-off jobs. In total, there are more than 200,000 direct jobs, and the income it brings is related to more than 200,000 families. Expenditure, their consumption expenditure supports, such as eating a big meal and buying a high-end suit, which in turn determines the income of at least half a million families. It doesn't matter that most of the oil companies have employees stationed abroad. You only need to consider one-fifth of the 70,000 employees in local positions. "

"The above are all related to jobs in the UK. For example, the steel base is Kuching's problem. I don't have to worry about it with you." Alan Wilson said to his daughter Nunu, "If you can do something like If you are so professional in raising crocodiles, then there must be no problem.”

Alan Wilson is not exaggerating at all. For example, in Japan in later generations, the entire automobile-related industry has created five million jobs for Japan. This is five million families. For a family of three, it is fifteen million. People point to cars to survive. Japan’s total population is just over 100 million, and Germany’s proportion is not much smaller. Because the high-end market is doing well, the situation is safer than Japan.

"Is there any property that is not simpler?" Pamela did not change her true nature of wanting and wanting more, but she just told her the merits of watching her two younger brothers and lurking around her mother for many years.

"Mining!" Pamela Mountbatten said, "This industry is relatively simple. It does not involve many jobs and has more jobs. There are 300,000 employees working."

Today's Australia is completely different from the Australia of 1945. The booming development of the mining industry has increased Australia's already high labor costs. After the war, Australia still has the shadow of an industrial country. Now it is purely a resource. In China, Australia's local car brand Holden has also been merged by Land Rover.

"It seems that you can only think of a solution in the gaming industry in Newfoundland." Alan Wilson covered his forehead, "If you are interested, start with the casino in Goa. If you think it is good, give it a try."

"Okay, Pamela, go and do your own business." Pamela Mountbatten made a look and abandoned the rest.

The couple also needed their own time, and Pamela Mountbatten needed a warm embrace. When her children had gone out, she whispered, "You must be so happy that I'm in Perth."

"How could it be? I miss you all the time. I just work for the country and don't want to delay your career." Alan Wilson's face was full of deep affection and loyalty, and he directly picked up his wife and put her on him.

"You are responsible for managing the affairs in Bangladesh. It is just a lackluster place, but it is also worthy of your control?" Pamela Mountbatten was puzzled. She could not see the value.

"It's really worthless. It's just an excessive place. It can also have a stabilizing effect." Alan Wilson nodded. "The British had better keep a broad vision. In fact, you understand that this is not easy to do in an electoral country. Every time it comes to an election, politicians dare to make whatever promises they make, and they dare to fight for anything. The former is okay, at worst, it will be treated as if it has never happened after taking office, but the election strategy of inciting hatred and beating chicken blood can easily backfire on you."

When your emotions are aroused, you can't just do nothing, that would be so embarrassing. This is not only harmful to the country but also harmful to politicians. In order to support Ukraine, inflation will drop. Isn’t Bao Zhongtang going to reap the consequences? How can it be so easy to want and want both?

"Let Bangladesh attract attention for a few years, and we are thinking about where to help the next development." Alan Wilson was full of confidence. The most dangerous time has passed. The United States has not fully grown up in the Soviet Union and combined the two colonial empires of Britain and France. It is even more impossible to topple him completely now.

Anyway, the option of going to war is unlikely to arise. As long as there is no war, what can the United States do to Britain and France?

As for using two defeated countries to contain Britain and France. Isn’t the reason for coming to Paris this time to talk about this issue? It depends on whether the Germans are willing to cooperate. If Germany has even a little bit of Europeanism, it should stand with Britain and France and keep its distance from Japan.

At this moment, the leaders of Britain, France and Germany are communicating on this issue. They will definitely not give the Germans any sweeteners at the beginning, but if Germany is determined to get a certain share of the settlement, it must ensure that it stands with Britain and France. Together, push Japan down.

Two days later, de Gaulle's funeral was held in Paris. This funeral was simple and simple, but it was also grand on another level. The French army used an armored vehicle to transport de Gaulle's coffin. Many French generals attended, which seemed to highlight the This person who can barely be called a general in military rank has a military identity.

But on another level, it was very grand. Half a million people in Paris spontaneously took to the streets to watch de Gaulle's coffin leave. De Gaulle also returned to his hometown of Colombey for burial. Until the coffin left Paris, people once again flocked to the Arc de Triomphe and stood there in awe. They observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to their national hero and see him off.

In accordance with de Gaulle's will, dignitaries from various countries only bid farewell in Paris and did not disturb the French hero's resting place in his hometown.

"Prime Minister, how are you?" Alan Wilson waited until the coffin was out of sight before asking about the meeting.

"Very good, your judgments are all correct." Harold Wilson lowered his voice, "It's hard to imagine that you have never met Pierre? You actually know him so well."

"Our work experience is similar. I have also been a colonial administrator overseas for ten years, which is similar to Mr. Prime Minister." Alan Wilson explained softly, "The perspectives are similar, so naturally our stance on the problem will not be very different. Change. It seems I guessed it right this time."
