Chapter 394 Victory Closing
"Of course, we remain open to the Soviet Union and work together to maintain peace in Europe."
In the end, Prime Minister Attlee still mentioned the role of the Soviet Union. Alan Wilson was a civil servant and all he did was cash out. But Attlee was different. He was the Prime Minister. The French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party were just numbers in the eyes of Alan Wilson. , but in his eyes, this number is too scary.
The year 1947 that had just passed was a terrible year for Europe. The United Kingdom could say better. After all, at that time, British India was going all out to win blood, and the situation in France across the strait was not optimistic.
The French Communist Party has more than 900,000 official members this year. It is the largest party in France. It controls one-third of the country's votes. The French Communist Party is everywhere in the French Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense. The deputy prime minister of the coalition government is Thorez, Chairman of the French Communist Party.
It really seemed like Alan Wilson was just trying to cash in. It would not do to degrade the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries to the point where they were worthless.
Although Alan Wilson had already explained when he came back that he was saying something for the Americans that Americans should not say, but as the British Prime Minister, Attlee could not express his stance like this and still express his goodwill towards Eastern Europe.
This would not make Alan Wilson's job difficult, as Prime Minister Attlee would later communicate with Truman to explain.
After all, there were the French and Italian Communists, and even the civil servant deputy secretary-general who was negotiating in Paris knew that as a prime minister, he could use this to negotiate with Truman.
As a young man, taking the opportunity to return to China for a short period of time, Alan Wilson still found time to test drive a domestic car. If it were not for the winter, he even wanted to take Pamela Mountbatten to dig for the Hoxon treasure.
"When negotiating in Paris, I never forget to come back to take advantage." Pamela Mountbatten hugged Alan Wilson's body, and the joy on her face showed that she was very satisfied with her fiancé's performance. "He is not like a civil servant serving the country."
"After finishing this matter, I will apply to work in the colonies." Alan Wilson said with a look of longing, "That is where I can show my talents, and let everyone around the world see that the colonial economy cannot develop." , it is the ethnic issue of Indians that hinders our development."
Regarding the soon-to-be-independent Pearl of the British Empire, as long as it does not develop well in the future, it will inevitably be compared with British Malaya.
Since India has a larger population and a larger country, but its economy is not good, and British Malaya's economy is stronger than yours, it means that India's failure is its own problem and has nothing to do with Britain.
As long as Alan Wilson can prove it, this stereotype of India can be established.
Regarding the Asian economy in later generations, Alan Wilson objectively said that China is strong because China's own population and area cannot be contained, and it is not like Indians to enjoy themselves in time. It is a very powerful country compared to China in terms of scale. As of the end of his memory in his previous life, what can be praised is limited to its scale.
Excluding China, whose scale is incomparable, looking at Japan and South Korea alone, and comparing it with European countries, South Korea is not even better in terms of numbers, but it is actually at the same level as Spain. Japan's level is actually not comparable to that of Britain, France and Germany, and is probably on the same level as Italy's.
He definitely did not mean to insult Japan and South Korea, but it was a fair comparison. Japan and South Korea are on the same level as Italy and Spain. In terms of per capita disposable income, even by 2020, Spain will be at the same level as Japan. Japan’s per capita is US$40,000, while Spain’s per capita is US$26,000.
The nominal number in South Korea is thousands more than that in Spain, but in fact the money received is not as good as that of the Spaniards.
That is to say, the Japanese, who are the richest on average in Asia, actually have a quality of life similar to that of the Spaniards, and far behind those of the UK, France and Germany. Otherwise, how could the theory of involution become so popular on the Internet in later generations?
If the Plaza Accord did not exist, no one knows what level Japan would eventually reach. However, if the Plaza Accord exists, the consequence is that in the 21st century, the quality of life of the Japanese will be equivalent to that of Spain in Europe.
At this point in time, British Malaya will definitely start at the same time as Japan. It depends on who is more diligent.
Alan Wilson will lead Malaya to compete with Japan, and at the same time, he will give a hard stamp on Scam Island.
For example, the most cutting-edge industries have never been relevant to most people, so although the chip industry on Scam Island is in hand, it does not reflect the senses of most people.
From the perspective of promoting employment industry, Formosa Plastics is far more important to Scam Island than TSMC. Because the employment created by the former is dozens of times that of the latter, but the market value is just the opposite.
This is why Scam Island jumped on just one fruit after it was banned. The number of employed people in fruit farmers is more than that of TSMC. No matter how powerful TSMC is, it is impossible to solve the employment problem.
If Alan Wilson went to Malaya, his long-term goal would definitely include the plastics industry, and it would definitely be earlier than Scam Island.
Even if it plays with the national system, Malaya, with Britain's support behind it, is not afraid of defrauding the island.
Alan Wilson had full confidence in going to work in British Malaya. After all, he was a talented orientalist, so it was natural that he should go and contribute to the most important colony in British India after its independence. Besides, he is Mountbatten's son-in-law.
However, neither the Prime Minister nor the Cabinet Secretary thinks so. This is something he still doesn't know.
In the Colonial Report, Alan Wilson used the process of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola to show that the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was not necessarily a good thing for Britain as Senator Churchill said. It was also very likely that the United States and the Soviet Union eliminated the confrontation between Britain and France.
Now in the eyes of Prime Minister Attlee, Alan Wilson should be the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary, but for his age.
In the eyes of the two heads of civil servants, Alan Wilson should work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs most lacked talents like him. No matter where he was, it conflicted with Alan Wilson's ambition to become an administrative official.
On the plane back to Paris, Alan Wilson went from being alone to being with Pamela Mountbatten.
It was Christmas soon, her parents were not around, and only her sister and brother-in-law were in London. Pamela Mountbatten was quite lonely and expressed that she would accompany Alan Wilson to Paris so that it would be easier to take care of him.
Of course he would not object to this. He always wanted to stroll around the streets of Paris to see if he could find a French luxury car for a test drive.
He didn't know that this was also the purpose of Pamela Mountbatten coming here. After all, her fiancé had a criminal record and the whole British knew about it.
Britain is currently the European country with the most powerful aristocracy. Even after two world wars, Alan Wilson still felt a sense of accomplishment when he led Pamela Mountbatten to Paris.
Alan Wilson, who returned from London, was obviously much calmer and seemed to have figured out a lot after returning to China.
In fact, he just kept the same tone as the Prime Minister. There were changes in rhetoric, but the essence did not change. On the issue of Eastern Europe, Alan Wilson's idea of rejecting Eastern Europe changed his tone, which was softer and more in line with the United States. people's expectations.
That is the European Common Market. An important reason why the United States promoted the Marshall Plan was to form the European Common Market.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Eastern European countries. As long as Alan Wilson persists in grasping this point, the United States will automatically exclude these countries.
Day after day, US Assistant Secretary of State McCaul's impression of Alan Wilson became better and better. When he met Pamela Mountbatten, he was very surprised and said that the two of them were so suitable together. .
"No Joan Crawford or Bette Davis is suitable." Listening to the false friendly speech of the US Assistant Secretary of State, Alan Wilson could only numb himself with the spirit of victory, thinking about Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in his heart. Weiss and two American female stars are very smooth.
He will never forget the kindness of the United States in using the Lend-Lease Act to beat the brains out of Britain. In fact, neither the Conservative Party nor the Labor Party has overwhelming trust in the United States in this era. There is absolutely no way. The situation is stronger than the people.
So after knocking out his teeth and swallowing it, Alan Wilson still had to have an attitude of being closer to the Americans than anyone else, and to demonstrate the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States in front of representatives of France and other countries.
After Christmas, with the hard efforts of Britain and France, the United States recognized two prerequisites for aid, namely, more allies than enemies, and more populous countries than less populous countries as the criteria for the amount of aid.
This made Alan Wilson breathe a sigh of relief, put his arm around Pamela Mountbatten's shoulders and whispered softly, "Dear, you said at this time, do I need to get off the plane after returning to China, wave the agreement in my hand, and say I will take it?" Brought it back."
"Do you also want to fight for peace for a generation?" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her fiancé. Of course she knew that Alan Wilson was talking about the then Prime Minister Chamberlain.
"What I'm fighting for is the money of a generation." Alan Wilson straightened his back and praised himself, "It's much more important than peace."
After determining the principles, the foreign ministers of various countries came forward one after another and set off to Paris. The American signatory also became William Clay, who signed together with the foreign ministers of various countries. As for the four Yugoslav countries, they were naturally excluded because they were unable to fully open their markets. outer.
Before New Year's Day, the Paris Conference on promoting European economic progress, promoting European production development, providing support for the currency issuance of European countries, and promoting international trade came to a successful conclusion. All that remains is to wait for the approval of the U.S. Congress.
Just before the signing, the British company Rolls-Royce quickly sent the engines that had already left the factory to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union gave the money, and Rolls-Royce could do anything, but it could not refund the money. After all, US aid is for Britain, while Soviet money is for Rolls-Royce. These are not the same thing.
