Chapter 508 Arriving at Hoxon

Long before the famous Plaza Accord, the United States had fought a trade war with Japan. Along with bills such as long-arm jurisdiction, the United States had launched a total of eleven attacks on Japan before the Plaza Accord.

The scope of the trade war began in the 1950s, including but not limited to textiles in the 1950s, steel in the 1960s, automobiles in the 1970s, and semiconductors in the 1980s. The subsequent attacks continued until 1997.

At this stage, Alan Wilson only needs the textile industry, and the population of Malaya is far less than that of Japan, and there is still half of the Peace Sect's population. Even if he dumps Europe at full power, the impact on Europe will be within control.

Of course, the comparison between Malaya and Japan is not all about advantages. The Dodge Plan was the United States' support policy for Japan in the early post-war period.

Since the US military occupied Japan, a total of one billion US dollars has been spent. But as long as the door to trade restrictions with Japan is not completely opened, the Japanese economy will have no way out, and it will be impossible to talk about real stability, revival, independence and development.

Malaya’s population and population quality are not as good as Japan’s. The advantage is that Malaya already has pillar industries. Britain does not have the financial resources of the United States, but it has colonial resources. At this stage, it can also use the imperial preferential system to help Malaya. Come to Asia for development.

Generally speaking, each has advantages and disadvantages. Malaya loses points in terms of total population and population quality, but it has an advantage in land area and resources.

As for funds, it is not impossible. Who is the richest in the UK now? Pamela Mountbatten may not be the richest, but after the discovery of iron ore in Australia, she did receive huge financial support.

The reason why Japan is able to undertake a large number of industrial transfers from the United States is also because they have the technical foundation for industrialization, especially in terms of human resources. Although the war destroyed Japan's physical facilities, the talents that had been cultivated and the industrial technology that had been accumulated preserved the fire for Japan to quickly recover and develop from the trauma of the war.

This intangible wealth is also an important reason why old European capitalist countries such as Britain and France were able to return to industrial power with the help of loans from the U.S. Marshall Plan.

The military economy brought about by the outbreak of the Korean War and the Vietnam War also accelerated the transfer of American industries to Japan.

Norman Brooke did not rush to urge Alan Wilson to submit a report, and the negotiations of the Paris Coordinating Committee had not yet begun. During this time, he and his fiancée, who had already returned to London, experienced that a little separation was better than a wedding.

"Imperial Airways has ordered the Comet, which is considered the first big order." Alan Wilson took the initiative to bring red wine and Pamela Mountbatten to express his congratulations.

"Without your guidance, everything wouldn't have been so easy!" Pamela Mountbatten playfully winked at her fiancé and said with a peach blossom face, "I really hope you stay a little longer."

"I hope so too. My name is among the delegates at the conference in Paris." Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten touched each other and said, "We have been traveling around in the past few days. Plan your industry well, Norman The Lord has asked me about matters in Malaya, and it may be that I shall be made commissioner there."

"Are you sure?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with concern.

"It's not stable over there. I heard there are anti-British armed forces."

"Guerrillas are not a big deal." Alan Wilson comforted Pamela Mountbatten, "You have to have confidence in me."

Worrying about the anti-British armed forces in Malaya is not as worrying as the Korean War. The Korean War sent more than 10,000 troops. With the current British armed forces, the number of more than 10,000 troops was obviously perfunctory. Basically, the troops are sent out symbolically to maintain unity with the United States.

The US military with two million troops can provide hundreds of thousands of troops. The British army with 800,000 troops sends more than 10,000 troops. It is obviously perfunctory. Of course, there are also some things that are not perfunctory. The Royal Navy has gathered together battleships and aircraft carriers. This is interesting enough for the UK. The troops it dispatches are close to one-third of the British troops stationed in the Middle East and the British Army in Malaya. What else do they want?

While writing a report on industrial transfer and industrial upgrading, Alan Wilson also took advantage of the relatively abundant time recently to take Pamela Mountbatten to Cambridge to find Turing.

"Alan, who is this?" Turing still remembered Alan Wilson with whom he received the medal, but he was not very familiar with Pamela Mountbatten.

"My fiancée, Miss Pamela Mountbatten." Alan Wilson shook hands with Turing warmly, "I just returned to China recently, and she and she happened to come over to visit my friend."

"Hello, Miss Mountbatten!" Turing extended his hand politely, as usual, dressed casually in sharp contrast to the old scholar.

Alan Wilson deliberately brought the topic to computers, and the first computers had already appeared. The U.S. Department of Defense uses it for ballistic calculations. It is a behemoth, using electron tubes as components, so it is also called a tube computer and is the first generation of computers. Because the electron tubes used in electron tube computers are large in size, consume a lot of power, and are prone to heat, they cannot work for too long.

Turing obviously knew about this computer company, but he still shook his head and said, "With the size of electron tubes, American computers have only symbolic meaning. They must use more suitable materials."

"Pamela, these cutting-edge technologies are in military institutions. If you can inquire about it, it may be beneficial to Turing's research." Allen's hotline tilted his head and requested, "Of course, don't be As a spy, I feel like people in politics right now are just scared."

"I'll ask around to find out!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded and praised, "Both the cabinet and Whitehall are frightened. Only my fiancé Alan is fearless. You should be the prime minister of the British Empire. .”

"Why don't you say that citizens are ignorant, haha!" Alan Wilson said confidently, "Don't always sit in the mines and think about problems. I feel that what Mr. Turing studies is extremely important to the whole world. Ask about domestic semiconductors Who among the enterprises has accumulated technology?"

The term semiconductor has long appeared. Its special properties were first discovered when studying some sulfides. After the emergence of radio transmitters using electron tubes, many people used some natural sulfide ores to make cheap radios. In fact, they used The unidirectional conductivity of its contact point with the metal is used as a detector. This is a diode that can replace the role of a dedicated vacuum diode.

However, it took a lot of research and experiments to add a control electrode to this semiconductor diode to obtain a transistor with an amplifying effect, and finally succeeded.

There must be a semiconductor research company or military institution in the UK, Alan Wilson is very sure of this.

But in terms of the general environment, the UK is cutting back on projects like crazy, and many studies have been forced to stop. In fact, it is similar to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Some long-term research projects lacked financial support and were interrupted.

In fact, the British all-transistor computer appeared a year earlier than the American computer. As for the fate, it can only be said that the Comet airliner had the same fate, being squeezed out by the American transistor computer.

This has also been the daily routine of the United Kingdom since World War I. It has technical reserves, but when facing competition from other countries, it becomes increasingly unable to do what it wants. It uses the latest technology to create second-rate things, which is a stepping stone on the road to complete success.

"You are the Queen of Iron Ore reported in the newspaper!" Turing realized later, remembering that he had seen relevant reports in the newspaper, and said in surprise, "So you are Allen's fiancée, really..."

"I don't know how lucky I am! I am favored by God, not just once or twice!" Seeing that Turing's lack of knowledge on the topic of praising women, Alan Wilson took the initiative to take over the topic and talk to Pamela Mountbatten smiled at each other.

A rainbow fart made Pamela Mountbatten beam with joy and lean on Alan Wilson obliviously. Turing happens to have a strong immunity to such behavior.

"Pamela will definitely support your research. Waiting for our good news, I feel that this must be something that changes the world." Alan Wilson held Pamela Mountbatten's arm, "This is not help. Inventions that change the world always require resource support, so don’t refuse. They might make money, right?”

"I hope your investment will not be wasted." Turing hesitated and agreed.

"I believe it will definitely be useful! I will stay with her these days and contact her when I have time. If you have any difficulties, please contact me anytime." Alan Wilson waved his hand and said goodbye to the computer pioneer.

When he started to complete the second part of the industrial transfer report, the industrial upgrading part, and before reaching the third part to support the value of the pound, Alan Wilson proposed to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to go to Hoxon to have a look, "It seems that our manor has not yet been I’m starting to get started, and I’m always interrupted by all kinds of things, so how about going and taking a look?”

"Okay!" Recently, Pamela Mountbatten, who is always with me and I have you with her fiancé, fully agreed with Alan Wilson's opinions, and there was not a single word of disapproval.

It was time for the Hoxon treasure to be revealed again. If he wasted this time, he would have to go to Paris in a few days, and he didn't know when he would be free to go.

Although the local residents have been cleared out and the conditions are quite simple, the two people who arrived in Hoxon decided to stay. Experience rural life in the Victorian era.

After being hugged and sleeping soundly all night, Pamela Mountbatten transformed slowly. When she raised her head, she saw Alan Wilson looking at her, very embarrassed, "You woke up, why didn't you call me."

"How happy it is to hold the woman you love, why should I call you?" Alan Wilson said confidently.

"Disgusting!" Pamela Mountbatten rapped the man's chest happily, "I don't know what the purpose of bringing a girl to the wilderness."
