Chapter 935 Supervisory Prime Minister Wilson

"There are risks. It's not that easy to deal with guerrilla warfare."

Alan Wilson reminded his wife, "In December 1945, the franc devalued by 58%. In January 1948, it devalued again by 44%. More than a year later, In September 1949, the value of the franc depreciated by 39%. The franc devalued three times in a row, which is a lesson learned from the past. Of course, since that time, the value of the franc has been stable for ten years, but now the Algerian war has not stopped. , France supplies 800,000 troops in North Africa, and the military expenditure is an astronomical figure."

"Even if you transfer the oil to the French to finance the war, France's financial pressure is very great. If you buy these bonds, let's assume that the war goes well, and the risk of franc depreciation still exists. You forgot that after the war , what did Australia, New Zealand and Canada say about the UK when the pound devalued?"

"Didn't the UK know that this would hurt the interests of the pound area? Yes, but it still did it because the UK had no choice but to use the devaluation of the pound to save itself. They are all countries founded by British immigrants, and they are rich in blood. Yu Shui, once the war in France goes wrong and causes a financial crisis, will the franc be devalued and the country default on its debts?"

Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband's explanation with a gloomy face, "Then I won't buy it and pretend I don't know about it."

"I'm not stopping you. What I just said is just my personal opinion. The decision-making power still lies with you. After all, I don't want to affect your decision-making." Alan Wilson corrected him very gentlemanly, "The decision-making power still lies with you. In hand."

In other words, Pamela Mountbatten is an independent person. Alan Wilson cannot always interfere with business decisions. If his wife insists, he will not object.

French bonds are certainly profitable this time, after all, the yield of more than nine percent is not low. But what if the franc depreciates by more than ten percent? Don't think that a country's face is valuable. An example is that after the war, Britain devalued the pound despite the opposition of Australia and other places.

"I listen to you, you haven't missed it yet." Pamela Mountbatten's eager heart has been extinguished, and she once again chose to listen to her husband's opinion on this matter.

"Hey, I'll let you think about it yourself." Alan Wilson didn't care. Even if he lost money, it wouldn't be possible for the Mountbatten Group to break down.

The world is unfair. Some people can keep falling and still get up, but for ordinary people, a failure will take a lifetime to repay. Pamela Mountbatten is the latter.

Alan Wilson is just helping his wife to give advice. If she thinks she can give it a try, he will not object.

Just when he was about to say something, the phone rang, and he had to get up to answer the phone, "Just ask them to come."

"What's the matter?" My sister-in-law, who had just listened to her brother-in-law's exclusive analysis, asked.

"Su Yang and the others are coming to obtain foreign investment certificates." Alan Wilson did not hide anything. He told the truth about the investment in Myanmar, transferred some low-profit industries to Myanmar, and took advantage of low human rights to promote the industrial upgrading of Malaya. .

"This is a good thing, but you still need to prove it? I don't understand what they think." Pamela Mountbatten's face was full of astonishment, why did these Chinese businessmen seem reluctant to do so.

"The UK is no stranger to industrial transfers. But this is the first time they have encountered it. It is normal to be timid about going overseas. If I have time, I will slowly persuade you, but seeing that the refining center project is coming to an end. I just We can force them to go out and use this foreign investment certificate to create public opinion that rare goods are a good place to live. But at the same time, the benefits to us are huge. Industrial transfer cannot be disordered, but must be controlled within a reasonable range."

Although their properties were spread throughout colonial Malaya, almost all the big compradors had permanent villas in Kuala Lumpur.

This is the so-called capital advantage. As the colonial capital, Kuala Lumpur is the starting point of policy and can sense the latest changes.

Administrative resources themselves are part of the advantages of an administrative center.

Of course, there are certain disadvantages. The administrative center is usually the hardest hit area by map cannons, so Kuala Lumpur will definitely be treated like Singapore in the future.

Alan Wilson could already imagine that kind of grand occasion, but it would definitely be worse than even God being set on fire.

The dispute between the imperial capital and the magical capital between the administrative center and the economic center is also because the imperial capital has long been the administrative center. They are always targeted in the four ancient capitals. As long as they have enough time, any comparison can turn into a war.

Alan Wilson has been involved in the political network for many years. In my impression, the Imperial City was rarely supported by the majority. Either it was attacked by Xi'an and Nanjing in the four ancient capitals, or it was deprived of administrative resources and impoverished by the imperial capital.

In view of this, he taught Alfred how to bind the four major cities in West Malaysia, which all relied on the political reserves of his previous life. Although in his eyes this was a fight between gods, he lived in a small town in his previous life.

From his perspective as a colonial high commissioner, the conflicts in the colonies were too great. Ethnic conflicts would always be provoked and would shake British rule. He could not be too provocative.

The destructive power of regional conflicts is not bad at all, but usually those involved will not be resolved by force. Within the scope of resolution without force, regional conflicts are more effective than ethnic conflicts.

Soon, Su Yang and others came to the door together. When they saw Pamela Mountbatten and Princess Margaret, they quickly said hello, "Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Wilson."

The English proficiency of the compradors was so mediocre that Princess Margaret was almost elated because of the grammatical problems. Because this kind of address is like calling her directly.

"I just came back, you guys are busy." Pamela Mountbatten went directly upstairs, dragging the royal princess up as well.

"Sooner or later, you will know that I am doing it for your own good." Alan Wilson, who was holding the foreign investment certificate to everyone, said bewilderedly to these bitter faces, "The world is big, so you don't want to become famous on a larger scale? There will be no development just in Malaya."

Even if the compradors were willing, Alan Wilson was not willing. These compradors crowded into the Malayan colony to cut leeks, which would lower the ceiling of the colony, and ordinary people could easily feel the existence of the ceiling. As a result, we lose the belief in struggle and push up the ceiling. How can we rely on industries like the textile industry?

Industrial upgrading is necessary and cannot be diverted by the ideas of these compradors. Sooner or later these people will thank him for forcing them out. Alan Wilson is convinced of this.

Regarding the spread of the slogan of surpassing France and catching up with Britain, Alan Wilson was greatly surprised, but when he thought that the steel production capacity centered in Kuching was already slightly higher than that of the UK, he accepted this new slogan to replace the slogan of surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States.

France's steel output is 14 million tons. This goal is not difficult. It is easier to surpass France than to surpass England.

After using both hard and soft tactics to drive these big compradors out of Malaya, Alan Wilson was in a good mood. The idle labor force could almost be put into use after the Asia-Pacific Refining Center was completed.

"I heard there is news about the oil off the coast of Angola." Alan Wilson teased his sister-in-law, "Your Highness, the respected princess, will become another wealth myth, which is really enviable."

"Look at your wife, what is there to envy?" Princess Margaret said with some embarrassment.

"Speaking of oil, I have one thing. I want to order a batch of oil refining equipment from the mainland." Alan Wilson tilted his head and looked at his wife, "I want oil refining equipment on land to serve colder places."

"You won't go to the Soviet Union to dig for oil, will you?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little strange. Such conditions could easily make others doubt her husband's reliability.

"I don't have the ability to go to the Soviet Union to dig for oil. But it's almost the same. You should prepare it for South Korea." Alan Wilson said in a mysterious and subdued voice, "My dear, secretly prepare according to my words, land mining and oil refining The equipment is adapted to severe cold climates and must work normally in weather temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees, that’s the requirement.”

"The temperature is similar to that of Norway. I'll think of a solution with the equipment manufacturer that provides North Sea oil." Pamela Mountbatten believed in her husband without reservation and immediately agreed.

This batch of equipment will serve Daqing. If his sister-in-law hadn't talked about oil, he almost forgot that Daqing oil was about to be discovered.

Before the 1960s, the location, size and processing capabilities of China's Daqing oilfield were strictly confidential. In order to determine whether it can make a deal for refining equipment with China, Japan urgently needs to know the location, scale and processing capacity of the Daqing Oilfield.

To this end, the Japanese intelligence agency collected a large amount of relevant information from Chinese public publications. After rigorous qualitative and quantitative processing of the collected information data, it obtained accurate information about the location, scale and processing capabilities of the Daqing Oil Field. .

From a series of information such as public photos, the Japanese determined the local climate and approximate location through Wang Jinxi's clothing, determined the production capacity through railway transportation, and began to target the local climate involving refining equipment.

It can be deduced from this: "China will inevitably feel the shortage of oil refining equipment in recent years. It is entirely possible to buy Japanese oil refining and cracking equipment. The scale and quantity of the equipment to be purchased must meet the needs of refining 10,000 tons of oil per day."

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has made the judgment that China must introduce a large number of oil extraction and refining equipment. Mitsubishi immediately gathered relevant experts and technical personnel to comprehensively design equipment suitable for China's Daqing Oilfield, making full preparations for winning the bid.

Sure enough, not long after, the Chinese government sought oil extraction equipment from the international market. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries quickly designed equipment that best met China's requirements and won the bid in fierce international competition.

Alan Wilson doesn't have to go to such trouble. Will he be unfamiliar with the climate in his hometown?

He summed up two lessons from the work of the Chief Executive of Malaya. The decision must be made earlier than Japan. The second one is to set up obstacles for Japan at the same time. In terms of oil refining equipment, isn't the UK much better than Japan?

Japan does not need to thank him as a supernumerary prime minister. He has helped so many countries and does not mind helping Japan.
