After all, humans are not fish and only have a memory of seven seconds. Citizens of the British Empire believe that they have not forgotten what happened ten years ago.

Alan Wilson felt that this was not advisable and was simply an insult to people's intelligence. However, the Soviet Union's decision to withdraw some Soviet troops stationed in Germany and adopt a easing posture was indeed a great achievement.

Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was called Britain's last diplomat decades later. But in fact, the foreign minister's health is not good. His duties as foreign minister can basically be said to be spent in the cabinet and the hospital.

Historically, it was in just a few years after the war that a series of policies for Britain during the Cold War were formulated. Later, due to physical reasons, he resigned from the position of Foreign Secretary and became Lord Privy Seal.

Theoretically, the Lord Privy Seal has a higher status than the Foreign Secretary, but after all, this was not an era when the authority of the monarch was very high. In today's British cabinet, the Lord Privy Seal is more of a sinecure with a high status.

However, the Lord Privy Seal is generally the same person as the leader of the House of Lords or House of Commons, so he is still widely respected.

After signing the agreement on the establishment of a transparent mechanism and receiving a conciliatory gesture from the Soviet Union that was willing to withdraw some Soviet troops stationed in Germany, this trip to the Soviet Union was actually over.

As for Alan Wilson himself, he took a step back and wrote a report on the shortcomings of the planned economy, expressing the impracticality of the Soviet economic model and emphasizing that Britain combined the advantages of capitalism and socialism. is the right path.

Of course, it was only under the leadership of the great Prime Minister Attlee that the British Empire achieved such results. It was the first to end the rationing system and achieved the fastest recovery among European countries.

"As long as all the planners of the planned economy are human, their experience must come from the past rather than the future, so the economic and social forms planned by those planners will gradually solidify, become obsolete, and lose their vitality. This form cannot evolve by itself. It creates new possibilities and cannot accommodate unplanned and non-standard economic elements from outside.”

"In economic development, many factors cannot be quantified. Just like economists do not understand the economy, the economy itself is full of uncertainties. It is inevitable that the Soviet Union's economy will have problems..."

Then the topic changed, and the report stated that the Soviet Union could not be compared with the United Kingdom, "For example, if we make a bench, before we make it, we already know what the finished product will look like, so that we can plan the raw materials and working hours. I personally think that this The previous government nationalized existing mature industries to protect the rights and interests of all British citizens, but it did not give up support for private enterprises, making them innovative and far more feasible than the Soviet Union."

At No. 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Attlee was holding the report and almost wanted to memorize it. He felt that he might be able to use it when he faced questions in Parliament.

This article is essentially a flattering article about the Soviet Union. It is a summary of Alan Wilson's experience in his visit to the Soviet Union. Afterwards, Alan Wilson took leave to go to Germany. After the leave, he will return to the United States. He continued to serve as the consul in Boston and established a deep friendship with McCarthy.

Regarding the establishment of Paris Woodpecker, Alan Wilson has just received news. After all, entertainment news is more widely spread. Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman returned to Europe to start their own businesses. Of course, he personally supports it.

European women should stay in Europe and have more connotations of the image of American hillbillies in movies. Alan Wilson will feel that his previous help was worth it.

Holding the baby boy born by Bokina in his arms, Alan Wilson looked happy. If this were 1,700 years ago, he felt that he was definitely a prime minister.

Pokina looked at Cao Cao's heartfelt smile and smiled with relief. Finally, the risk of giving birth to this baby boy was worth it. She asked for advice, "How about calling me Koch? It's a pity that I can't take your last name."

"There's nothing wrong with the surname Hellman.

I believe that the two brothers will become people to look up to in the future. "Alan Wilson teased the baby in his arms and laughed, "How can I not be happy to have such a beautiful lady give birth to a lovely baby for me? Just like Germany is now, it is recovering visibly. "

It goes without saying that who paid a greater price in World War II, Germany or Japan, was definitely Germany.

During Japan's World War II, Japan's casualties were small, and the property losses were also small. Maybe it was a net profit. The Japanese mainland that was damaged by air raids was actually urban civilian residential areas. It looked terrible, but the actual property losses were very small, because high-altitude precision bombing had a heavy impact on Japan. The degree of damage to major industrial targets was very low, so low-altitude incendiary bombs were used to bomb civilian areas at night to undermine the Japanese people's war confidence.

Germany's population losses were far greater than Japan's population losses during World War II. To add to this population loss, it depends on whether the Japanese prisoners of war in Malaya can still hold on. After all, the Japanese Southern Army prisoners of war in Malaya were very easy to use and solved many difficulties for the local colonial government.

Alan Wilson expressed goodwill towards the Dragoons' homeland, although once Germany's economy recovered, British hostility to Germany would rise due to imitation of British products, but this was inevitable.

The UK has no better way to deal with it than to compete on intellectual property rights. Germany's initial industrial products for foreign trade on the European continent were still imitated from British and French products. Through process upgrades and cost control, they lowered product prices and competed in the mainland market. This kind of counterfeiting has become a late-mover advantage in the definition of Gerschenkron.

The latecomer advantage is nominally to make use of existing technology and promote technological progress. In essence, it is to counterfeit and plagiarize existing scientific and technological achievements, and then form an industrial cluster to digest and innovate into its own brand.

The old imperialist countries are probably all on the same level. Britain cannot expect Germany to kneel on the ground forever and not get up. It depends on whether Malaya can catch the industries transferred by Britain at that time. If he can catch it, he can still beat Germany.

When Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman arrived in Bonn for inspection, it happened that Alan Wilson was also here. After several months of sailing, the crown prince and his wife arrived in Australia.

The king of Australia is George VI, so if nothing else goes wrong, Crown Prince Elizabeth will be the future queen of Australia. The arrival of the crown prince in Australia has made Australian people very excited.

Australia's feelings for Britain are still there, not to mention that the image of the crown prince and his wife is very good. It is understandable that they received an unprecedented welcome when they arrived in Australia this time.

Australia is an important stop on the visit of the crown prince and his wife, and it has been a month since they arrived here.

Of course, it is not without problems, and the crown prince can take care of them. For example, the crown prince said that he was inconvenient to interfere with the issues in Australia and New Zealand. At the beginning of the century, the Australian colonies were converted into states and the Commonwealth of Australia was established.

New Zealand almost joined Australia when the six colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia held a referendum to formally become independent and decided to merge into a new country. New Guinea later became a The British territories also joined the Commonwealth of Australia.

Later New Zealand also declared independence. Australia originally wanted to recruit New Zealand as a state, but it was delayed due to legal issues. In fact, New Zealand has always been included in the founding documents retained by Australia.

Of course, it is difficult for the Crown Prince to express his position on this issue, but fortunately, his life in Australia in the past month has been quite pleasant, and there have not been many similar troubles.

"It seems that Pamela has been acting strangely since yesterday." Princess Margaret came to the crown prince's sister's bedroom and said with a strange look on her face, "I don't know what's going on."

"Maybe it's to contact Allen?" Crown Prince Elizabeth smiled gently, "It won't be long this time. It's normal for Pamela to miss her fiancé. "

In fact, it’s almost the same. Pamela Mountbatten was reading the call back from her fiancé. Although she didn’t know what Alan Wilson was doing, she could feel the importance from between the lines, “Then the respected Queen of Iron Ore, now that she has been found, if she feels the opportunity Announce it if appropriate, but I suggest you exercise restraint on the issue of reserves, and be prepared to get the largest share, so as not to attract the prying eyes of Americans. As for the name, if the crown prince doesn't mind, calling it Elizabeth Iron Mine has more symbolic meaning. , it happens that the Crown Prince is still visiting Australia, this is the luck brought by the Crown Prince."

After receiving the congratulations from her fiancé, Pamela Mountbatten put a smile on her face, put away the telegram, and walked out of the room directly, preparing to discuss with Crown Prince Elizabeth whether to announce the news, and if so, what method would be more appropriate.

The exploration company she founded can be said to have been wandering around Australia for a year. It is not a lie to say that there is no pressure at all. You must know that there are twenty dukes to whom she owes money.

Today, she finally found the iron ore that her fiancé insisted existed, which made Pamela Mountbatten extremely excited.

"Iron ore?" Crown Prince Elizabeth was full of astonishment. She was a little surprised by the news. Although iron ore is the most common mineral resource, Australia has not been considered a country with iron ore for a long time.

As for Pamela Mountbatten's stubborn search for iron ore in this desolate continent, Crown Prince Elizabeth naturally had nothing to say, but she also didn't hold out much hope. But today, there was actually news about iron ore.

"Crown Prince, of course it's true. Alan asked me to ask for your opinion." Pamela Mountbatten spoke excitedly and mentioned her fiancé's name, which made the love brain in the same room frown slightly.
