Chapter 1325 – Independent Commitment

“Why yes, you sisters are different in my mind.” Alan Wilson immediately changed his tone, as an active duty Rocketeer, he had plenty of combat experience to express his position.

Germany’s optical technology was not a later development, but was traditionally strong, when the First World War broke out, most of the glass used for precision optics around the world came mostly from Germany, and Britain was in the worst situation, with sixty percent of Britain’s optical glass relying on Germany.

Early in the war, Britain began making newspaper appeals for private donations of cameras, gun sights, and other optical instruments, as well as outright requisitioning of unsold optical instruments from private individuals and companies.

It’s like Bogina said, it’s Germany’s traditional industry of strength, but of course in the last two years Germany has started to get competition from Japan, so at the EC meetings, the UK hit Japan hard, and what with the exchange rate manipulation and disregard for intellectual property rights, and Germany followed suit waving the flag.

“Is Britain going to develop the semiconductor industry?” After experiencing the man’s attentive service, Bokina lazily asked the aspiring middle-aged man in front of her, “It seems like the United States is the strongest right now.”

“And Japan.” Alan Wilson added and added, “Of course Japan’s domestic market can’t hold up the ambition, the basic conditions aren’t very good.”

Japan can rush to what level, entirely depends on the United States is ready to let Japan to what level, this country’s basic conditions are there, the external environment is slightly worse will be finished, as for South Korea’s resistance is even worse, the same as the island country, Britain has a European market that can be balanced offshore can be relied on, and should be grateful for this.

“Japan, yes, Japan has become very frequent in the newspapers over here in Europe over the past few years. There are also quite a few Japanese tourists showing up in Germany.” Bokina spoke up and commented, “It seems like the Japanese are very rich, they are everywhere.”

“It’s just a rich country with poor people.” Alan Wilson grunted, “But it’s just that the visionary expectations have given the current generation of Japanese confidence, and the Japanese mainland used to be so bad that the contrast came out of happiness. It’s not good for me, a foreigner, to judge your country, but the British are a bit in a blessed state compared to the Japanese. As long as we can withstand this round of development, Japan will have no future.”

In fact, what’s the point of saying this, his era was Japan’s version of total attack, focused attack, focused defense and even to total rout, all in the third stage. Even if the per capita nineties per capita fifty thousand and twenty-first century per capita forty thousand can compare?

Japan and South Korea as a major industrial upgrading the brunt of competitors, earlier than the European countries feel the pressure, a country in place will certainly affect all aspects of the country.

Even a very niche anime industry will be so, Japan even the size of the custom industry is shrinking, but the value of specialty film production is rising, which means that fewer people really carry out carnal transactions, watching movies to masturbate more people.

Of course the UK can’t get Japan on its own, the US market is open to Japan, and the UK’s efforts to make it work in Europe can only slow the growth slightly.

“You’re still really vigilant it, Britain’s per capita income is not even worse than that of the United States, yet you can notice distant Japan.” Bokina reached out and touched Alan Wilson’s face in compliment.

“Of course, you think I’m one of your sisters, looking down and not seeing the ground.” Ellen Wilson opened her mouth with a double entendre that made Bokina blush, then straighten her back to show the ripples, “Just can’t see the ground, am I proud? Who is always dreaming of not being able to breathe anymore?”

The Japanese government published annual reports, there has always been an English version sent to him here, of course, he is not all believe, who the hell said that the public out of things must be true? Japan’s industries have been counterfeiting for decades after decades is no secret at all.

Transformer counterfeiting parameters, steel counterfeiting strength, not to mention Japan, the United States submarine steel have decades of counterfeiting history.

However, this kind of counterfeiting only close to the country can feel, a major country just started to the United States of America’s weapons parameters amazing, their own continuous testing or not up to the extent of a comparable level, and ultimately can only deal with the use of this suspicion in the bottom of the heart, who let the United States is so rich, maybe really pile up out of the Zenith technology.

Until one day the U.S. counterfeiting things exposed, only to let a big country relieved, the original you are also the people of the Earth.

As for Japan’s counterfeiting is mainly focused on civilian use, Japan later from the world’s second to later by the European countries left behind that is reasonable.

Britain an old imperialist country now supported a Malayan colony, Alan Wilson gave Kuala Lumpur a task, any Malaya and Japan have a cross of the industry, as long as Japan does not raise the cost of manufacturing, and much higher than the same product parameters of Malaya, immediately investigate.

As long as Malaya held out until the Vietnam War was fought, the strategic competition with Japan could be expected to be won.

The US is not going to favor Japan as it once did after spending hundreds of billions of dollars for nothing. In fact in a sense the U.S. trade war with Japan in the seventies was steeply intensified for just one reason, U.S. domestic consumption had already peaked and could not be tapped out of its potential. Continuing to open the market to Japanese products would only hurt the United States.

Of course, in the end, the United States used petrodollars to solve the problem, and at the same time turned the country’s middle class into a pseudo-middle class from birth on the back of the loan, once again enhancing consumption.

Twenty-first century a big country facing the same problem as Japan in the 1980s, the United States of America’s consumption once again peaked, and this time the United States themselves are not able to find a way to use the petrodollars have been used, from birth to death of the loan has also been used, the United States as the world’s policeman, the United States itself per capita income than the other developed countries in Europe out of 20,000, Europe are about 40,000 per capita, the United States of America more than 60,000, and also increased Stimulate consumer power?

Anyway, Allen Wilson is in the premise of science and technology can not break through to come up with ways to put down the only two remaining pricks in the world may be a way, as the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the entire industry, the competitors disappeared to empty out the market, but this move has the risk of world war.

Naturally, the United States can’t go on by itself, it still needs a few scapegoats to test the enemy’s fire, all for the greater good of the free world, better you die than the United States.

“Nyerere wants Britain to help them build a railroad to increase the flow of local goods.” Brewster laid out the main issue that Nyerere had mentioned in his interview with the Prime Minister, in front of the supreme authority, “Of course the Prime Minister has already refused on the grounds that the construction would be too difficult.”

“Oh, construction is too difficult. Rather a reason.” Alan Wilson nodded and said, “Going out to sea from Rhodesia to an East African port does require a great deal of effort. It’s not beneficial to the UK, and it’s reassuring that the Prime Minister rejected Nyerere for the sake of the national interest.”

A railroad of nearly two thousand kilometers would certainly be a way to get the copper out of Rhodesia, but it would not be very attractive to Britain because there are now two railroads available, one to South Africa and the other to Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, but it would still be good for the development of the Great Lakes region of East Africa.

This railroad a certain great power in addition to expanding African influence and breaking diplomatic isolation, naturally there is an economic agreement, not all economic benefits. Alan Wilson remembers that the railroad came with a trade agreement through which the Tanzanians would buy whatever they could afford from a certain great power, and a certain great power would buy five million pounds a year from Tanzania. Cash will be paid for any shortfall in purchases from Tanzania.

So what, while China-Africa friendship is important, so is trade, talk about a grievance comment. Britain still has plans to develop the Great Lakes region of Africa yet, and having a certain big country build such a railroad would also be a place that would benefit Britain.

An hour later, the Prime Minister summoned Alan Wilson and asked his own Cabinet Secretary, “Is East Africa still under our control?”

“I don’t think so Prime Minister, the Zanzibar military base is reserved for the current situation.” Alan Wilson replied with a smile, “Isn’t there still the Egyptians to help? China is too far away from Africa for that weak navy to cross a strait, let alone try to show up in Africa?”

On what basis? Is it by virtue of the yellow water battleships, offshore Iowa to go to Africa? It’s not like Britain doesn’t have battleships, they are all in Malaya’s harbor as the presence of the fleet.

Regarding a soon-to-be-independent East African colony, there may be some to show favor to the Soviet bloc, and Britain could certainly theoretically intervene with armed force, but what? Intervene because of a railroad that the locals were eagerly awaiting, and after the intervention nothing would be gained except a complete stinking reputation.

Alan Wilson is not in front of the prime minister in foreign affairs, but in fact the local British forces are no longer much, the garrison were withdrawn to Zanzibar, in addition to a number of senior advisers within the government, most of the positions have been handed over to the locals, the immigrants have gone to British Kenya.

“Then let Nyerere see for himself! I’m thinking of letting them become independent after this year and at a chosen time next year.” Harold Wilson thought for a moment and made up his mind, Britain’s key interests to retain now were in the Far East and Middle East, Africa was never among those that had to be retained.

“It’s about time too.” Alan Wilson nodded, Nyerere had gotten little financial support from Britain this time around, but still got a promise that Britain would be willing to let it become independent next year.

A few days later back in the capital city of Dar es Salaam, Nyerere faced a large number of supporters to announce that the British had given him the promise of independence, “Next year, a brand new country will emerge in Africa, we will part peacefully with Britain, and later stand independently and proudly in the world.”
