Chapter 1285 – British Nuclear Strategy
India is the traditional British sphere of influence, of course, this is the Americans think so, Alan Wilson and Whitehall does not think so, do not think so mainly because the Cabinet Secretary does not think so, which does not mean that the Prime Minister is so, so he began to write a report again.
This kind of thing is good to prepare early, really when the cabinet needs, out will not be caught off guard.
On the other hand, if you don’t get it out, you’ll be blamed by the cabinet. This can not be helped, the Cabinet and Whitehall’s division of labor is different, the Cabinet will let the voters blame, but the Cabinet can also blame the Whitehall, just the public does not know.
This period at the beginning of the year, determining the direction of the development of the United Kingdom in the coming year, Alan Wilson is faced with the General Assembly and small meetings, and let each department come up with no less than a palm-thick report, to ask the Prime Minister to look over.
Today, for example, the Home Office came out with a report on Britain’s social environment and development, and one of the paragraphs was a section on attracting foreign tourists, and it had to do with Japan.
Since last year, Japan has lifted its ban on going abroad. It is hard to imagine, isn’t it? It’s actually quite normal that Japan should have such a ban. Britain used to have exchange controls.
Foreign exchange control coupled with the potential of India squeezed by the dying to survive the toughest years of the post-war period. Why did Allen Wilson take out the independence leaders of the Gold Coast? Wasn’t it because the problem wasn’t solved at the time and Britain needed the Gold Coast’s gold?
Japan can now be said to have a certain foundation, not like the virtues of the beginning of the post-war period. The Far East is now recognized as three places that are doing very well economically, Japan, Korea and Malaya.
In this era there are a lot of Koreans who want to run north, mainly because South Korea’s economy is a little too tough, last year’s food crisis, Japan can spend money to set things right, South Korea is really tough for a whole year.
On the contrary, North Korea is very prosperous, the Soviet Union also pulled North Korea into their own “Economic and Mutual Association”, the Soviet Union’s big brother to the group of little brothers to assign work: some people digging mines, some people smelting iron, some people processed iron into a hoe, and some people will take the hoe to planting, and then according to the designation of the big brother of the grain to sell to whoever.
In the ECCPC, there are countries that take advantage of the situation and there are countries that lose out, and North Korea is the one that takes advantage of the situation.
North Koreans are happy, eleven years of free education, free housing, free medical care, a leg into the well-off. And the opposite side of the South Koreans have been very bitter, or Park Chung-hee would not have sent troops to sell their lives in exchange for economic support from the United States, in fact, originally South Korea will be mobilized labor army to go to the Middle East, for the development of the Middle East blood and sweat.
Allen Wilson knows the importance of the Middle East to the United Kingdom, he could not wait for South Korea to think of blood and sweat, has mobilized Malaya and Pakistan out of the labor force to build the Middle East. Absorption of Korea’s millions of laborers in the Middle East construction, now there is no Korea’s share.
With this premise, Allen Wilson against the history in his mind, to Aidan’s report indicated that the scale of South Korea’s troop contribution may come to 50,000 to 100,000 roles.
It’s a two to three times increase from the historical scale of 20,000 to 30,000 troops from South Korea, and it opens up, “We’re very worried about the expansion of this war, and once South Korean soldiers show up in Southeast Asia, North Korea will probably move accordingly. Things could get very complicated.”
North Korea’s role in the Vietnam War was actually exactly the same as the Soviet Union’s role in the Korean War, which was to send out the air force to establish the MiG corridor. Because the air force was too big a target, a certain major power actually avoided the Soviet Union’s role, so that role fell to North Korea.
“It’s still pretty complicated.” Aiden smiled bitterly, this time Allen Wilson sent three reports, this one was the assessment of the Vietnam War, the other two were the analysis report of the firefight between India and Pakistan respectively. There was also the impact of Japanese tourists abroad on the economies of various countries, for example, on France, “Japanese tourists are really impressive, they splash the cash.”
“That’s really about it, Japan is a rich country with a poor population, and the tourists who make it out are a pretty good minority of Japan’s population.” Alan Wilson didn’t really care about Japan lifting the ban on leaving the country, the country is rich and the people are poor probably in a few decades the netizens of a certain big country are very familiar with this set of sayings, they are just lonely, this term was first used on Japan, then on South Korea, and then it was used on a certain big country.
Rich country, poor people is exactly the word that Americans now use to describe Japan as a country. Described very correctly, do not have to follow the United States standards, even according to European standards, East Asian countries are within the scope of the country rich people poor, Japan is no exception.
On the one hand, the Japanese began to go abroad to leave behind the impression that people are stupid and have a lot of money, and on the other hand, the white people who went to Japan felt that the Japanese people are living in dire straits, and that the quality of their lives is very poor because they are very careful with their money.
According to the economic terminology of the later times, Japan’s domestic demand is sluggish and in a long-term slump.
Of course the Japanese did broaden out for a while after the Plaza Accord’s, enjoying the treatment of how Europeans and even Americans really lived, but at a cost the people of the world knew.
“Japan has emerged as a competitor to Britain in both automobiles and shipbuilding.” Aiden looked to Alan Wilson, “This is indicated in many of the Whitehall reports.”
“There are also semiconductors, but neither ours nor Japan’s are currently a match for the United States.” Alan Wilson knows what the prime minister means, Japan’s industrial chain climb essentially constitutes a competitive relationship with the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom can not do too obvious, but also need some friendly exchanges.
“I suggest taking the attitude of cultural exchange and opening up some exchange activities in the cultural field, as we did with the Soviet Union. The current Soviet Minister of Culture, Ms. Foltseva, is open to the entry of British music and films into the Soviet Union, but of course we understand that some cultural products that the Soviets see as depraved and not positive enough may be scrutinized by the Soviet side. But even so, we can’t ignore the existence of the second largest market in the world, and we still have to find a way in.”
Isn’t it normal that the Soviet Union is, of course, the second largest international movie market, after the U.S. To be fair, American movies have yet to enter the New Hollywood period, and they do have all sorts of problems. For example, westerns were devoted to boasting about killing people, making women into snake charmers, and murderous robbers doing whatever they wanted.
When the United States began to enter the promotion of American positive energy, it should be the seventies of the New Hollywood movement, after which the standard of Hollywood improved a lot of power. The power to spread culture on the surface was much stronger.
But Alan Wilson’s previous life, Hollywood various Marvel squeeze other films difficult pass, do not know how to get through.
Do not say that this difficult pass does not exist, in fact, as long as a little bit of love for the movie, we know that Hollywood compared to the level of the eighties and nineties, there is a shocking decline. Having to use a black man to play Snow White doesn’t even convince the people of the country, and you want to spread culture?
When a country’s economy takes off, surely all aspects of it are taking off, just like the Soviet version of War and Peace is a movie and TV classic, behind it is the strong national power of the Soviet Union to support to be able to film it.
This era of Japan is also the same, Alan Wilson is also seen Japanese drama, such as the nineteen eighty-three version of the air hostess, left a deep impression. The Japanese dramas of the twenty-first century no longer had that feeling.
“Introducing Japanese cultural products?” Aiden thought about it skeptically, “Will this? Cause the Actors Guild to get upset?”
“I don’t think so, we still watch Indian movies.” Alan Wilson implied that British cinema wasn’t a closed circle either, and Indian movies still came over from time to time to harvest the box office.
The industry that should compete to compete, cultural exchanges can also start, but also help to enhance the eyesight of British citizens, the prime minister since he does not oppose, Alan Wilson has a good candidate, the Korean War period had been an ambassador to Japan Burgess, by him to Japan to show goodwill, to promote the Anglo-Japanese cultural exchanges more appropriate.
The direction of public opinion according to the general procedure will be fine, Sunday, with the world’s mysterious ancient Eastern countries. Monday, the Great Dictator is ready to destroy the world, and “our” democracy is at stake! Tuesday, the evil Eastern Empire has all the secrets!
Wednesday, the source of evil has acquired powerful space weapons! Thursday, the dawn of justice has dawned, and the people against tyranny have been awakened! Friday, the Axis of Evil is about to collapse, and victory is coming! Saturday, the Axis of Evil has collapsed, and the long-lost peace has returned!
Sunday, the mysterious ancient Oriental country that is uncontested by the world.
This routine can be used on any country, and while Alan Wilson is fulfilling his stewardship duties and focusing on carving out the finer details. Aiden was naturally fulfilling his responsibilities as Prime Minister, laying out the nuclear strategy of the British military, and the responsibilities of each service, and announcing it in the House of Commons in front of MPs from both major parties.
He presented Britain’s nuclear force options in a debate on foreign affairs in the House of Commons. Mainly: Britain’s proposed nuclear force had four components: “British v-bombers, except such as are required to meet obligations outside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization area; a British nuclear submarine force; a number of British nuclear submarines at least equal to that of the United States; and some sort of mixed-crew or jointly owned force in which non-nuclear states could also participate.
Part IV relates to a major power, with the British and US governments agreeing on the need to “prevent the further spread of nuclear weapons” and welcoming “continuing proposals for weapons monitoring and disarmament, particularly in the light of the recent nuclear tests by a major power”.
“The Prime Minister really does have ambitious goals.” Alan Wilson put his arm around Bokina and marveled at Aidan’s articulation of Britain’s nuclear strategy.
“What’s wrong? What do you think is wrong?” Bokina shifted her body to look at the unhelpful Cabinet Secretary.
“Catching up with the number of American nuclear submarines. It’s pretty hard.” Alan Wilson was honest, he thought it was almost certainly unattainable, and figured Aiden should be talking out of his ass.
