Chapter 978 The Minister’s Middle East Policy

Xia Meng's face turned cloudy, and she murmured in a low voice, "I thought you were a gentleman, but you still value men more. Have you ever heard that women can hold up half the sky?"

"I've heard this sentence before. It seems that you have frequent contacts with the country."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, how could he not know this famous saying? But these are also two questions. "Don't use correct words to deny the market. Even in Xiangjiang, it is a fact that male actors are the guarantee of the box office? There are no exceptions in the markets of various countries. This is the case. Therefore, Xiangjiang's movies must successfully enter In the international market, hope still lies with male celebrities."

Alan Wilson thought about it for a moment, and this important task still fell on Jackie Chan.

As for the other Bruce Lee, he is actually American. As for his fighting ability, although Bruce Lee is associated with the cultural symbol of Kung Fu, he has never been in a ring or street fight. It is not known whether he can really beat anyone.

Jackie Chan is an international superstar who was born and raised in Hong Kong. He is also an international superstar in Hong Kong. The biggest gap between him and other Hong Kong stars is that after the 1979 Snake-like Trickster, his salary was twenty times that of the second-ranked star. In the past, Jackie Chan was born and raised in Hong Kong. The global box office champion of Xiangjiang movies in the next 21 years has been Jackie Chan for the past 20 years.

When other Hong Kong stars were at their most famous, they could only get a 50-50 rating in Hong Kong and Jackie Chan, a 30-70 rating in Southeast Asia, and a 19-percent rating when including Japan and South Korea. Counting around the world, they can't even see their shadow.

If there were no major changes in history, it would take another 20 years for Xiangjiang Film to have the title of Eastern Hollywood.

This is far from what Xia Meng expected. Alan Wilson could help Xiangjiang Film enter a wider market at that time, but Xiangjiang Film definitely does not have this strength now.

Alan Wilson, who was recuperating, had to start working hard again as the award ceremony ended. Fortunately, he was not in London and had no other work to care about. That is to pay attention to the news about Malaya's rival Japan. Currently, Japan is in the post-war period. Under the leadership of the 13th Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke.

It is obvious that Japan is no match for France, the experimental field of political system, in terms of the frequency of changing national leaders. Before de Gaulle came to power, France had 23 cabinets. What is true democracy?

After several discussions with Richard, the current High Commissioner of Malaya, Alan Wilson judged that Malaya's current economic transformation should be ahead of Japan. As mentioned before, having a large population has its pros and cons.

Japan's population was five times greater than that of the Malayan colony, so it was impossible for Japan to adjust as decisively as Malaya. Japan must ensure stable employment for its 90 million people before it can carry out industrial transfer with sufficient confidence.

Otherwise, unemployment will lead to social instability. Even Japan in the 21st century has retained some mid-range industries to create jobs. Because Japan's population exceeds that of other developed countries, there are not enough high-end jobs to fully employ its population.

As of now, the textile industry in Malaya has begun to move to Myanmar, and the textile industry in Japan is still an important part of national employment.

Alan Wilson, who had confirmed this fact, was very pleased. The population could not match this imaginary enemy, and the level of diligence could not make up for the huge disadvantage of the population. He could only think of ways to speed up the industrial transfer.

"There are Chinese people in Southeast Asia. We use Malaya as our main base and through the relationship of blood is thicker than water. We have supported a stakeholder class in each country, which Japan cannot do. Once this step is completed, there will be no need for it in a short time. I am worried that Britain’s international influence will not be maintained.”

Alan Wilson was quite optimistic about what Richard said. There are Chinese people in Southeast Asia. Are there Japanese people in Southeast Asia? This is the advantage, and Richard also understands it. "Secretary General, this can also stabilize our position."

"Of course, we are the cornerstone of civilization." Alan Wilson said in a resolute tone, "Politicians only think about the polls in five days, but we have to serve the country for fifty years."

About five to ten years,

The profits from the shipbuilding industry will also be a drop in the bucket for the UK. At that time, we can consider moving the shipbuilding industry. As for cars, Alan Wilson has few options. The UK has a lot of Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Bentley, and Aston Martin. These brands will be transferred to Malaya is not a good fit either.

For the more popular brands, they can try to produce Land Rover in Malaya when the time comes. If Land Rover doesn't work, there will be nothing they can do.

At this time, he was shocked to find that because the Suez Canal War caused an oil shortage in the UK, the low-end family cars that appeared did not appear. The only more popular brand he could think of was Land Rover.

"It's really difficult." Alan Wilson gritted his teeth. He didn't know if Malaya could hold on if it was really transferred. The British car route is really not suitable for industrial transfer.

In essence, this bribery policy is to delay the change. The same goes for asking Malaya to host the Commonwealth Games. Using the Commonwealth Games to attract attention, another four years have passed in a flash.

From feedback from other colonial commissioners, Alan Wilson knew that the visiting group organized this time had achieved its purpose.

The full support that has continued since the war is naturally effective. Malaya is second to none in Asia, let alone compared with British Africa. This intuitive impact left a deep impression on some African colonial elites.

"I hope this visit will be effective. At the same time, British Africa still needs to strengthen the control of public opinion. The so-called cultural people will never see the coffin without shedding tears unless a knife is cut on their necks."

During the break of the party, Alan Wilson discussed the work of maintaining stability with the colonial commissioners. He understood what the so-called cultural people really were. Let alone true cultural people, even those with a slight influence could not bear to seek death. This is true even for those who write online novels. From time to time, they have to pour in some private material to test the scale, which always causes trouble for the editor.

If this kind of inner thought exists, it must be contained in Source Mountain. Once it is discovered, it would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

"The deputy secretary is right." Other commissioners also nodded, saying that they would pay special attention to this aspect after returning.

The one-month tour aimed at displaying the achievements of Malaya's construction and promoting it to other British colonies has come to an end. The commissioners of each colony are very happy and feel at home.

Alan Wilson, who was carrying a heavy burden and moving forward, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the free world is valuable, it must be done within its capabilities.

At this time, he received two telegrams, one from Australia and one from London.

The content of the telegram from Australia is obviously good news. The Blue Light strategic missile was successful in its latest test launch of 10,000 kilometers. Of course, it's impossible to do just one test launch, but it's definitely a good start.

Once the reliability is confirmed, the Blue Light strategic missile will enter the production stage. At that time, the UK will be independent in the field of strategic missiles without worrying about being stuck.

It is of incomparable significance to the British strategy as a whole. Does Alan Wilson know that Britain has suffered terribly from being cheated by the United States in the field of strategic missiles?

In terms of strategic strike force after the war, when the United Kingdom launched its nuclear program, it did not forget the development of delivery vehicles. In 1947, the United Kingdom tried to develop ballistic missiles with a range of 3,500 kilometers, but it was later discontinued due to financial problems. .

Britain began to develop blue light missiles again to form Britain's strategic strike system. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Macmillan reached an agreement at Camp David at the end of his life. The U.S. Navy's nuclear submarines can use the British naval base in Holy Bay, Scotland. In exchange, the United States will open the skies. The Lightning air-launched ballistic missile project was given to the UK to equip Vulcan bombers.

At this time, the British were thinking like a pawn shop. They believed that with the Sky Lightning project, there would be no need for blue light, and it could also solve the navy's financial constraints and the conflicts between the services caused by the control of nuclear deterrence. Therefore, they terminated the blue light project. The British had just terminated the blue light project. , the United States informed the United Kingdom on the back foot that the plan was canceled due to cost reasons.

Finally, during the term of Macmillan, whose mother was American, Britain signed the Nassau Agreement and lost its independent nuclear strategy.

Now, the blue-light strategic missile has been completely successful, with a range of 10,000 kilometers. The technology can be used in air-launched and submarine-launched missiles, and the UK can avoid being dug into the pit by the United States.

With blue light missiles in hand, Britain does not have to worry about being stuck, and it can feel more confident when talking to the Americans.

The telegram from the Wumera launch site stated that as long as the subsequent test launches are successful, the Blu-ray project can be declared a success.

The telegram from London is another matter. Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson will go to Baghdad to discuss follow-up negotiations with Iran on the distribution of Iranian oil.

"I almost forgot that it was just a temporary response and it has expired." Alan Wilson suddenly remembered that five years had passed since the Iranian oil crisis.

Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson was going to Baghdad this time to talk to Iran's Mossadegh about a lasting solution.

As for why Alan Wilson was informed, it was because he was the one who handled the Iranian oil crisis and signed the short-term solution with Mossadegh. Now that he is the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he naturally cannot be left behind.

He still doesn't know that the purpose of the Foreign Secretary is far from this. While Alan Wilson was demonstrating the development of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Harold Wilson was also contacting European countries with the aim of signing agreements with oil-producing countries. An agreement to ensure energy security in the Middle East and Europe just happened to coincide with the expiration of Iran's oil distribution contract.

In any case, Alan Wilson had to go to Baghdad. At the same time, facing the call of love, Hedy Lamarr took out the black Arab robe that she had not worn for a long time.
