Chapter 1076 – Father-in-law’s Support

Alan Wilson had come up with this one theory called the trickle-down effect as a talking point to convince the cabinet to agree to an increase in military spending. Since Reagan could come up with a trickle-down effect, he could just as well.

And Britain was actually in a better position to use the trickle-down effect than the US, due to the existence of the sterling area. Trickle down is simply a muddled theory, equivalent to economists not understanding economics.

In the era of globalization, the trickle-down effect to increase spending as a means to revitalize the economy, the result is that the money issued will inevitably flow abroad, in fact, if the Soviet Union does not die, the United States will certainly be due to Reagan’s operation, with many years to follow years earlier to let the debt crisis come.

In the era of globalization, the volume body effect ultimately cheap is other countries, because there is always a country than your manufacturing costs are lower, fiscal spending just in the United States domestic over a circle, will travel to other countries.

The second half of Reagan’s term saw the US debt increase extremely high, but the economy had slowed down and by 1990 the US economy had grown by one percent and trickle down had failed, but at exactly the same time the Soviet Union collapsed.

The consequence of the collapse of the Soviet Union was that victory came so easily that the US simply did not feel the danger of doing so. It kept going down the wrong path and when it really came time to turn around there was no going back.

Because of the existence of the sterling area, the UK’s economic circle has a certain degree of closure, the consequences of the trickle-down effect will at least be locked inside the sterling area, and the UK will be able to get its losses back if something really goes wrong.

What’s more, Allen Wilson was simply trying his hand at shipbuilding and wasn’t prepared to practice Reaganomics in the UK.

Given that the Conservative Party is in power, the approach of subsidizing the British shipbuilding industry, the Conservative Party should not be adopted. But the Conservative Party should have no objection to helping to maintain the size of the shipbuilding industry through military orders.

First must let the cabinet know that Britain’s traditional shipbuilding industry has reached a very dangerous time when it comes to employment and support, and Makins naturally took the bull by the horns and said he would put together a report to prove it.

“The Ministry of Defense shouldn’t be a problem.” Alan Wilson muttered, Marshal Mountbatten would never object to an increase in naval orders, he had asked the Treasury before and the financial health could support this one.

The last part was up to himself, the diplomatic field, starting with letting British citizens know that at this time Britain was facing the threat of Japanese shipbuilding, linking the progress of Japanese shipbuilding to currency manipulation and illegal subsidies.

At the same time Allen Wilson was prepared to put pressure on the United States, perhaps ineffectively, but this was something that had to be done. Not to throw dirt on the U.S., although it is also true that the U.S. checked Britain and France by supporting Germany and Japan.

This fact could not be publicized, even if it was clear in the minds of many.

Alan Wilson believes that there is a difference between the rulers of the countries of the world, only because of the different national strengths have different tolerance for error, of course, when you think of it this way, to take out the kind of people of the Go map.

The difficulties of the Soviet Union during his term of office were all of his own making, and even with this constant decline, it was much better than the situation of the Soviet Union’s eastern neighbors.

The US makes mistakes too, except that the US has a comfortable environment to adjust to. There is also a disadvantage to America’s environment, and that is that America always thinks that it can attack and retreat, and that if it can’t, it can close its doors and live its life.

Anyway, the twenty-first century, the United States is absolutely can not do this, dare to do so per capita 60,000 U.S. dollars instantly will be cut.

Believe in your heart that any country will make a mistake Allen Wilson, only dare to try and confront the United States.

Of course, it is still a little early, starting with Japan, you can test the reaction of the United States through the Japanese thing.

Since 1955, trade friction between the United States and Japan had already begun, mainly textile friction.

Since the United States could have trade friction with Japan, the United Kingdom could of course do the same, and if the United States thought that the United Kingdom could not, it showed that the United States harbored ill will towards the United Kingdom.

“Collect Japan in recent years the development of the industry, it is possible and the United Kingdom …… uh, is the EC countries to form industrial competition industry, as an assessment, in this year’s EC meeting and other EC countries to discuss the countermeasures, the countries complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses to cooperate, to build industrial barriers. The U.S. can turn a blind eye to Japan’s plagiarized intellectual property savagery, we don’t have that obligation.”

“Understood, Executive Undersecretary!” The officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attending the meeting responded neatly.

“The textile industry and shipbuilding and even automobiles are booming in Japan, and we need to let the other EC countries know that fact. There is an early preparation, and this is for the sake of Europe.”

Since the UK is not shut out of the EEC thanks to his efforts, but is the leader of the EEC, giving France a face by saying it is one of them, it is important to make good use of the EEC as a framework for a joint response.

Iceland, tormented for two years before, was just a bull’s-eye; it was with Japan that the first serious response was made.

“Permanent Undersecretary, in Washington, we have been informed by the new Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, that the six-party talks should be restarted. The United States is willing to play a role in ending the Iranian oil crisis.”

Waiting for Allen Wilson to get things in order, Dixie informed Washington of the request.

It was a request, Allen Wilson did not hear an ounce of respect from this paraphrase, sneered in his heart, but was pleasant on the surface, “We have been expecting, too, that the Iranian oil crisis will have a good outcome. Let’s start by showing me Mr. Dean Lasker’s resume to see what our new friend is all about.”

“And with a British connection, what a pain in the ass.” Alan Wilson looked at the resume of the new U.S. Secretary of State and it fit the saying, overseas Chinese are the most anti-Chinese? It may not be absolute, but it’s pretty much what it means.

Lax came from a lowly background and relied on personal struggle to succeed. When he was young, he won the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University in the UK, and then returned home with a master’s degree from Oxford. Since then, the two laurels of Rhodes Scholar and Oxford senior have become the ladder for his rise to greatness.

When the United States faced the challenges of World War II, he took the plunge and joined the military. During the ensuing five-year campaign, he was a decorated soldier, serving for a time as Stilwell’s deputy chief of staff. Lax’s performance in the military was appreciated by leaders such as Marshall.

“Chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation!” When Alan Wilson saw this, he was basically sure that the attitude of the United States would not change, and even in his isolation, he knew what fields the Rockefeller family’s industries were concentrated in.

Although Standard Oil was dismantled because of the old Roosevelt’s antitrust laws, the Rockefeller’s energy in the field of oil is still there, and this six-party talks are because of the Iranian oil issue.

“All the more reason to go after Japan.” Alan Wilson firmly resolved that a loss on the Iranian issue seemed inevitable.

Must be from a place to make up some of it back, as far as Japan has no resources whatsoever in the country, more suitable for a soft touch.

Of course this is under the banner of saving the shipbuilding industry, there is nothing to say in the hands of the great justice, but to hope that the Cabinet to make the decision he expects, but also have to discuss with the father-in-law.

Mountbatten has been sixty-one years old, but obviously not yet retired, he will be at least in the position of commander-in-chief of the British army for five years, at this time it is in the military most powerful time.

When he came to the door, Mountbatten’s wife, Edwina Ashley, was also there, Alan Wilson politely greeted, “Madam, is the marshal there, I have something.”

“Alan, you’re good at everything, you just have some problems with name calling.” Edwina Ashley couldn’t help but shake her head and smile bitterly, “When addressing us, we use very formal terms of address, I don’t know why that is.”

“Uh, it could be due to my father’s upbringing. When I was in the Foreign Ministry, I also let others address me as the permanent undersecretary, not really liking Sir Wilson’s title.” Alan Wilson smiled and explained, “But it’s just a matter of name calling, it doesn’t mean anything, Pamela and I have a solid bond, how could I be outgoing with you guys?”

“That’s more than fine, but Pamela only comes back when the weather warms up, and it’s getting rare to see her.” Edwina Ashley couldn’t help but sigh, “The wealth is getting bigger and bigger, but you have to take care of your family as well.”

Alan Wilson could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth, he felt that he should demand anything from Mountbatten, because of his appearance, which led to Edwina Ashley not having an incestuous relationship with Nehru, which would look like a virtuous wife and mother now?

There was that, and Field Marshal Mountbatten should have given his good son-in-law one hundred percent support within his mandate.

“Trickle-down effect? Where do you get all these terms.” Listening to his son-in-law say half a day, Mountbatten is not moved, Mountbatten is tall, the face since there is nothing to say, sitting there is really not angry and imposing.

“Specifically, it is to increase military spending through military orders, save the shipbuilding industry for the benefit of the country and the people.” Alan Wilson also do not care about the Whitehall’s careful cultivation, directly say the soldier’s favorite words.

“Increase military spending!” Mountbatten like a cat that smelled the fishy odor, the already upright body made more straight, “carefully said.”

“The shipbuilding industry, although it is not called high-end, but it is not a low-end industry, currently facing competition from Japan, Whitehall means to prepare early, I have a few ideas, mainly ……”

“The first few ways plus increase military spending, I think it must be effective, the current British military spending on, there is still a lot of room for development, you can think of ways in this. A lot of projects also need military spending support, and now is the Conservative Party in power, in these reasons, I think ……”

Good son-in-law Bibi chattered for half a day, Mountbatten actually did not listen to a word, but grasped the core, which is to increase military spending, “What reaction is needed from the military?”

“It doesn’t really take much of a reaction, we can’t rush it, I’ll start shaping public opinion in favor of it by launching a dumping investigation into Japan before I go to Basra.”

Alan Wilson lowered his voice, while Field Marshal Mountbatten nodded frequently, his son-in-law was already in agreement on increasing military spending.
