Chapter 1274 The Plot

“Even at times like this, you still don’t have the least bit of goodwill toward the Japanese.” Pamela Mountbatten bent over and whispered, “Is it a nagging feeling about being whisked away from Xiangjiang to India?”

Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband was not supposed to be working in India, but had fled to India, which had led to some of the latter list of events.

“Doesn’t the Marshal hate Japan too?” Alan Wilson said in his heart, don’t just say me ah, your father the head of the British military is not also like this? But this topic is no fun to delve into, and then asked how the automobile production line in Portugal, whether it has been welcomed.

Got his wife satisfied with the feedback, Alan Wilson spoke, “to take into account the assessment of the added value of the British industry, if the Land Rover is a British industry, but for other countries to create value, then the driving force of the United Kingdom will not be very big, must be careful with this point. The industry chain must put the most core in the home country.”

Take the peak of Japan as an example, Japan’s local almost nothing, local resources in addition to forestry can only play a role in making specimens. In fact, there is only one road in front of Japan, manufacturing powerhouse, in fact, South Korea is the same, a major country can also rely on local resources to cushion, Japan and South Korea can not do this.

Peak Japan, more than ninety-five percent of the value-added are in Japan’s own industries, exports of one hundred dollars, more than ninety dollars of parts are left in Japan.

Manufacturing for Japan is life, the yen’s depreciation is the root cause of Japan’s manufacturing industry, only the automobile industry is left, before the home appliances, display, shipbuilding, and even steel have all collapsed.

The remaining automobile industry is difficult to support, even many of the parts used in the car are no longer Japanese, leaving Japan’s added value has become eighty percent.

Do not underestimate the difference of fifteen dollars, the significance of this fifteen dollars, will determine whether Japan can maintain the balance of imports and exports.

In Alan Wilson’s last life very early, Japan is known as the small size of the United States. At that time, a big country, not to mention dare to refute the United States from the position of strength, even in the face of Japan feel that the other side is unattainable, a lot of the first decade of the twenty-first century network, Japan’s presence is very high.

Then the impression of Japan with the passage of time, but also from the small size of the United States, into a large size of South Korea, even network writers are not willing to take this country as the villain.

With the foundation of Japan and South Korea, once the manufacturing industry can not pocket, the speed of the decline of both countries may be beyond human imagination, is beyond Japan and South Korea only the growth of this road, but also find a way to let the other side fall.

With the military power of the United Kingdom now, certainly can not be compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, but in front of Portugal to pretend to be big brother is still not a problem, the United Kingdom needs Portugal’s influence in Africa, to help enter the North African countries that have become independent, as well as South Africa Portugal’s colonies, and for this reason, divided out of some of the added value is not not possible.

Portugal’s population is so little, there is no possibility of backlash, but also can not give too much, Range Rover in the mainland, found in Portugal, Aurora in Malaya this distribution can not be changed.

The Middle East and North Africa, but also the latter day Japanese pickup trucks flooded the place, now Pamela Mountbatten grabbed by Portugal’s geographic access, in advance of the local Japanese car market blocked.

As for the U.S. car temporarily do not have to worry about, a variety of U.S. cars are firmly towards the goal of full-size suv close to the size of the larger horsepower is the U.S. car chasing the goal.

If not, American cars would not have been beaten by Japan and stolen from the family when they were bigger and stronger.

A full-size suv is a suv with a length of more than five meters and a wheelbase of more than three meters. The Range Rover is considered small and compact in all of them, and its main market is the US mainland.

With the size of the British mainland population of fifty million people, just need to do in some industries have a place on the line, not necessarily have to Toyota, Volkswagen trampled on the bottom of the foot.

The Cabinet Secretary’s choices for the UK mainland are semiconductors, high-end automobiles and specialty shipbuilding, plus North Sea oil, and the financial sector, plus the military industry, which is currently sizable, including aerospace, is enough to take care of the UK’s population.

By the way, there is also nuclear power, Pamela Mountbatten arrived in Portugal this time, but also incidentally for the United Kingdom to negotiate a good nuclear power export project, Portugal’s native barren, can not be like Australia to think about nuclear power is not as good as thermal power, the United Kingdom is willing to provide help in the case of the government of Salazar gladly agreed to use the United Kingdom’s nuclear technology to solve the country’s energy problems.

For several months, because of the incident in Tokyo Bay and the two incidents of American aircraft carriers being blown up and sunk by North Vietnamese frogmen, the United States was not unresponsive, and the United States sent an additional 7,000 troops to South Vietnam to stabilize the situation. U.S. troops in South Vietnam to the size of 23,000, but because the election is approaching, Lyndon Johnson is not good to go too far, and bigger moves will not come until after the success of the re-election.

“If only China and the Soviet Union had split.” During this discussion of the situation in Southeast Asia, Defense Minister Profumo had the feeling that that place in South Vietnam was too close to Bamboo Curtain, and that once the big move was made, it would be too difficult to try to bombard to block the constant support from North Vietnam.

“Minister, it may not be possible for a short time.” Alan Wilson lied without red face, how can there be no way, he all and Xia Meng to have a child, it is ready to return to the Far East with extreme sublimity. At that time the two people’s son happened to be adult, can shoulder up a greater hope.

Through the channel of the Five Eyes Alliance, Allen Wilson knew that Washington was not unaware of the current divisions within the Soviet bloc.

But after the professional opinion derived from the analysis of many experts. Took out the most professional conclusion, these two countries can not completely fall out, just like Britain and France again how to make trouble, will not really and the United States turned the same.

Any rational decision-making layer, it is impossible to make such an irrational thing, put yourself in the shoes of a person who thinks, fall out is all bad, there is no benefit of things how will happen?

Alan Wilson in learned of the American professionals, took out the most categorical conclusion, immediately apologized for their own ignorance, not to say how the United States is the leader of the free world it, right, how can fall out it, under normal circumstances is absolutely impossible.

It’s just that their American counterparts forgot that the systems were different, and that the Soviet system led to an inevitable period of irrationality.

And the main ethnic group of the Soviet Union, the Slavs, were notorious for their diode thinking. The predecessor, Imperial Russia, was notoriously expansionist, but was not above connecting the dots to start a Russo-Turkish war for the sake of its Orthodox brothers, joining a world war for the sake of Serbia, or launching an attack on Germany without being ready to mobilize in order to alleviate France’s inferiority.

The Soviet Union, while hostile to the United States and oppressive to Europe, constantly helped other peoples to build their industrial systems, tens of billions and tens of billions of dollars to support the construction of the Allies, and this all happened in the same period.

The oldest brother thought I’m giving in enough, and the youngest brother still felt unconvinced, which led to the emergence of some things that neither country would have normally allowed to occur as a result of the emergence of the outcome.

In the twenty-first century, it became clear that a certain great power had learned its lesson, and in fact diode thinking is not difficult to deal with.

Originally Russia is very pro-Western, but the process of NATO’s eastward expansion is accompanied by the dignity of Russia stepped on the soles of the feet, not to mention two good words to appease, even blank checks are not willing to open, resulting in Russia’s once-powerful pro-Western thinking completely out of the fire.

Belt and Road is not in Russia’s traditional sphere of influence expansion? In fact, in nature and NATO’s eastward expansion is no different, Russia itself is also very wary of.

But a certain big country has been and Russia chanting, this is a good thing for both countries are good, once again useless, a year is useless, say ten years, and the European side of the behavior of a comparison, Russia also accepted.

Slavic people since good face, tank competition a certain big country time and again to take second place on the line, anyway, the two countries industry does not conflict, just good face, are not necessary to the point of favor, nothing can not be talked about.

Just when the two conversations at the same time, that is, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics the next day, just when the world attention, discussing the Tokyo Olympics at the same time, the Soviet Union first secretary of the Khrushchev is the Black Sea coast Sochi convalescence, according to his commitment in the Central Committee, the meeting, he will be two years later that is, in 1966, retired, and he is also going to elect the official successor.

However, in Khrushchev’s mind, although Brezhnev in the second secretary of the position, but always still feel not so satisfied, even in recuperation Khrushchev still thinking about this matter.

At this time in Moscow, not as suitable as the warmth of the Dark Side, two figures walking side by side, Xie Liping first opened his mouth to ask, “are already ready? Will Shelestar agree? Once the Ukrainian counter expresses its firm support, we are unlikely to succeed.”

“According to Khrushchev, who has turned fifty-five, he is just as old.” Brezhnev spoke drippingly, “Of course age is not a problem, Shurik, the point is that he wants to oust the experienced cadres and make all the state affairs his own. But in reality he’s made a lot of mistakes in the last few years, and has been so dictatorial while doing so that no one can stop him.”

Sherepine nodded approvingly, and Brezhnev was still talking to himself, “Our colleagues have great hopes for us and correctly understand our plight, Suslov, Podgorny, and Shereist all understand where the root causes of the current problems encountered by the Motherland lie.”

Shelepin’s age is not very old, Brezhnev knew that the question of age is not able to touch this very trusted senior cadre, on the one hand, Brezhnev did not hide the age on the panic caused to many people. On the other hand, it emphasized the mistakes made by Khrushchev and took the initiative to ask for Shelepin’s opinion, “Shurik, what do you think we should do now?”

“If properly prepared, we should, with certainty, ask the First Secretary to return to Moscow and make our views officially known.” Without questioning, Shlepian indicated that he wanted to make a decision on the spot.
