Chapter 1017: Singling Out Germany and America

It is not an overstatement to describe this meeting as a one-shot deal; Germany is now short of labor, with 300,000 vacant jobs across the country, while Iran has seen unemployment skyrocket due to sanctions imposed by Britain.

While Aryan’s finest’s argument that the defeat of the Third Reich had been politically incorrect, it didn’t mean that no one in Germany believed that line of argument, and anti-defeat not anti-war existed in Germany as well. And Germany also needed a reliable energy supplier.

Because of the objective factors of the German coastline, in the division of the North Sea, and the Netherlands, Britain, Norway, compared to the huge German manufacturing industry, the North Sea oil fell into the hands of Germany’s share can only be said to be better than nothing.

Under all the reasons, this is almost a win-win situation, in 1960 the opening of the year drama, Britain ushered in is the Federal Republic of Germany, the two world wars of the opponent, to the United Kingdom of a storm, which is no one expected the fact.

On January 1, the Federal Republic of Germany announced the signing of a labor importation agreement with Iran and took out four criteria, which were limited to unmarried people, family members could not follow the laborers to Germany, the laborers could not be more than two years old, and there had to be people who were educated.

At the present juncture when Britain is imposing sanctions on Iran, the German government’s move is undoubtedly a back-stabbing to Britain.

It didn’t take Alan Wilson to say anything, the whole of Britain was glowing with the plain sentiment to just take it as it was, love it or hate it, and even some of the talk of being wary of Germany was once again circulating in the folklore.

“I’ll be right over.” Alan Wilson, who was driving Greta Garbo with one hand, nodded with the microphone in one hand.

“It’s the Foreign Office calling you?” Greta Garbo glanced at the man knowingly and whispered, “It’s time to work work work, can’t always lie in bed and bask in the birds. What are you going to do?”

“In principle we are prepared to sanction Germany.” Alan Wilson got up and dressed, finally transforming from playing the free world smoothly, to a clothed man, “In the slot of sanctioning Iran, it is not possible not to make some reaction.”

After dressing, Alan Wilson bent down not forgetting to engage in some verbal sparring with Greta Garbo, “Don’t forget to work out, when I get back from my busy schedule.”

Truth be told, among these ladies who are on equal footing with their wives, Hedy Lamarr and Greta Garbo really rely on a face alone to gain a foothold in Vanity Fair.

Alan Wilson also did not expect that it was Greta Garbo, the oldest lady, who could carry the passage of years the most, and the original was indeed impressive.

This is also the reason why Hedy Lamarr’s idea of going under the knife was sternly stopped by Allen Wilson. Plastic surgery that kind of thing could raise mediocrity to another level, and for a woman like Hedy Lamarr, destroying the muscle tissue in her face would only disappoint her.

Half an hour later, the heavily burdened Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office, with his cup of goji berries in hand, appeared before Foreign Secretary Macmillan to confer about this back-stabbing of Britain by the Federal Republic of Germany.

“If this were Britain fifty years ago, and considering the presence of British troops in Germany, the discussion now should be whether to overthrow the present German government.” With the air of an old-school gentleman, Alan Wilson said the words that most embody imperialism, and then turned to say, “If there is no reaction, citizens may question the competence of the current government, so we must now consider a form of sanction that is less likely to hurt relations between the two countries while taking a stern stance.”

Allen Wilson’s opinion is simple: first of all, it cannot be treated as if nothing has happened, or it may jeopardize the government’s approval ratings. But to make a big deal out of it still seems a bit petty.

No reaction was not an option or it would damage Britain’s leadership of the EEC, but it could also hurt itself if it sanctioned Germany’s important industries, and Britain still had considerable trade with Germany.

“Sanction Germany?” Macmillan spoke with some hesitation, “Isn’t that a bit too big of an action.”

“The point is that Germany’s move to help Iran cannot be hidden.” Alan Wilson solemnly said, “We are going to give an explanation to the citizens, we need to sanction some German industries so that we can calm the anger of the citizens. Of course this is still a matter of proportion, I am going to communicate with the Ministry of the Interior and the industrial sector, so that they can provide some doors that do not harm the economic and trade relations between the two countries to be sanctioned.”

This is another issue of both wants and needs, the new government has just been in power for six months, or the Conservative Party, which is known for its patriotism, came to power. Come to power and lose Iran without saying a word? Even if we lose it, we have to make a show of fighting back, we can’t make a show of not even doing it.

“As for the big internal declaration, singling out Germany and the United States should be enough to let citizens know the government’s determination to defend the country.”

Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, “That way even if it fails in the end, the citizens won’t come to blame the government for it.”

“It won’t destroy the unity of the free world?” MacMillan inquired again and again, fearing that the situation would get out of hand.

“I don’t think so, I’ll bring out a list of sanctioned disciplines to the cabinet in a few days. It’s all wrapped up in me, Honorable Minister, I’m a pro-American.” Alan Wilson solemnly perfumed Macmillan.

There was no obstacle in British public opinion to a heavy hand against Germany, although both countries were Germanic in the broad sense of the word.

But Britain does not see it that way, Germany kind of Germanic propaganda, in the eyes of Britain and the Iranian-approved broadly Aryan is almost the same, a bunch of psychopaths, who wants to take care of you?

“Don’t want to capitalize on the tragedy, but you brought this on yourselves, don’t blame me.” Alan Wilson walked out of the Foreign Ministry building, has thought about this round of singling out Germany and the United States, sanctioning Germany in two areas of biopharmaceuticals and chemicals.

On the one hand, because of the industrial conflict, another aspect is because there is a tragic event Britain should be avoided, which is the reaction stop incident that originated in Germany and spread to many countries.

Around 1960, doctors in at least 15 countries in Europe and the United States were using this drug to treat women’s pregnancy reactions, and many of them did not vomit after taking the drug, and the nausea symptoms were significantly improved, so it became “the ideal choice for pregnant women”.

As a result, the drug was mass-produced and sold in such quantities that in the Federal Republic of Germany alone, nearly one million people took it, and sales of the drug reached the level of one ton per month. In some states of the Federal Republic of Germany, the drug can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription.

The drug was first developed by the German pharmaceutical company Glennanzau and was used for the first time as a prescription drug. When thalidomide was first introduced, scientists said it could control nervousness during pregnancy, prevent nausea, and have a sleeping effect.

The Reactive Stop incident led to a large number of seal babies around the world, as well as numerous premature births and miscarriages in pregnant women. The UK was the most affected country apart from Germany.

Among the major countries, the United States was spared because the drug was banned in the United States and was smuggled into the United States, while China was not affected for the simple reason that it was too poor. The country in Asia that was affected was Japan.

Now taking advantage of the juncture of the Federal Republic of Germany’s back-stabbing of the UK, Alan Wilson wants to ban German biopharmaceuticals from entering the UK, and indeed the entire Commonwealth market.

“The chemical sector is not a good idea, it’s too broad in terms of what’s involved. Biopharmaceuticals are fine, though.” Makins saw Alan Wilson come to the door and laughed bitterly when he was informed of the situation, “Is the Foreign Office really prepared to sanction Germany? It can’t be your personal idea, right?”

“Of course!” Alan Wilson coughed softly, “Of course not, the main thing is to defend Britain’s dignity, driving us to have to make a counterattack, and now the whole citizenry is watching. Since the chemical field is widely involved, we can take a different approach, make a split list, start with biopharmaceuticals first, put out the word that the second list contains the chemical field list, if the citizens are already satisfied, the second list doesn’t need to be put out.”

“Really you?” Makins had a mushy look on his face, pulling patriotism on top of what was clearly his own idea, “The reason?”

“Pamela has a pharmaceutical industry in India that’s been developing for quite some time and is now on the right track. How’s that for a reason?” Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets while saying with a straight face.

“Full marks for this reason, leave it to me.” Makins raised an eyebrow and agreed decisively.

At the beginning of nineteen-sixty, only a few days after the Federal Republic of Germany announced the signing of a labor importation agreement with Iran.

As the citizens of Britain were raging with public sentiment and an anti-German wave was flooding the country, the Aiden government announced sanctions against all German biopharmaceutical products, banning them from entering the British and even Commonwealth markets.

And it also released the news that this was only the first batch of sanctions, and did not rule out a second and third batch.

The German government immediately responded that the sanctions initiated by the United Kingdom were essentially a trade war, and that “this move by the British government is not in the interest of the United Kingdom, nor in the interest of Germany, and even more so in the interest of the whole world. Britain and Germany are each other’s important market, has formed a pattern of you have me and I have you, which not only harms the interests of Germany, but also harms the interests of the United Kingdom. It is hoped that the Aydin government will stop at an appropriate time and withdraw its decision to sanction Germany.”

“Germany and Britain are not rivals, they should be mutually beneficial partners, and one-sided sanctions against Britain also end up damaging.”

Singling out Germany and the United States, my Great Britain is invincible, ah, jumping up and down to push for sanctions against Germany Alan Wilson, lingering among the world of luxury cars, enriching their test-drive experience.

This time the British German biopharmaceuticals included in the sanctions list, but also stunned the small partners of the European Community, in a trance that the Sunset Empire is not back? Surprisingly sanctioned Germany, Germany is not Iceland, the two are very different.

Other countries also know that this time the reason for sanctions is Germany to help Iran, resulting in friction between Britain and Germany. Can only have to state that the big picture is important or something, do not dare to read too much into it.
