Chapter 1384 Strategic Transformation
“Secretary General, Ireland tried to join the EEC.” Wick spoke up, “Ireland has been trying to join the EEC in recent years, and it will definitely be discussed at the EEC meeting.”
“The more countries there are, the worse it is to control them, let the Lisbon side object on the grounds that Northern Ireland’s status is unknown.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to explain, “Right now the Northern Ireland issue is between us and Ireland, it can’t become an issue between the UK and the EEC, if Ireland becomes a member of the EEC, France is likely to clamp down on us with this issue.”
Historically Ireland joined the EEC, de Gaulle shut Britain out of the EEC, and Britain pulled Ireland in with Denmark, sort of to improve the odds against France. But apparently things didn’t evolve later the way Britain thought they would.
The EEC in this world has completely different origins, and there was no need for Britain to get the pesky Irish in, De Gaulle once said in another time and place that he lived for Britain to never want to join the EEC, and Alan Wilson would have done the same to Ireland.
The true age of the Cabinet Secretary is now known to be forty-three weeks, so when he retires in twenty-two years, Ireland will probably join the EEC.
“Home Office and Department of Foreign Affairs, go through all the indigenous industries and British-owned businesses in the Commonwealth and report back to me then. As for the European industry survey, I’ve asked MI6 to do it secretly.”
Alan Wilson said this looking towards the Permanent Secretary of the Home Office, Brewster, who had been placed in the Home Office from the Prime Minister’s Principal Private Secretary, “For the time being there is still a reference for the pricing of the Bretton Woods system, but as we all know the system is no longer redeemable for gold, and there is going to have to be some necessary adjustments both on the home front and overseas to adapt to the new changes, and according to Nixon’s words, the New Economic Policy. I seem to remember that Lenin’s economic policy was called the same.”
“It’s time to develop it’s time to share it.” Alan Wilson mused, “Call the Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Affairs Department, I’ll talk to him.”
The permanent undersecretary of the Department of Scottish Affairs is an old acquaintance, the last Malayan high commissioner Richard, in fact, after Richard’s term arrived, Alan Wilson had wanted to transfer the Persian Gulf high commissioner and the Malayan high commissioner’s position, because they are all acquaintances.
To a certain extent, Alan Wilson is also nostalgic, in fact, he and the current Soviet leader Brezhnev almost, like stable familiar faces, do not like new faces.
The current Malayan High Commissioner, a woman in the civil service, firmly embraced the supreme authority of Alisa, taking into account the distance factor, Alan Wilson is not good to let people come back all the way.
Richard also knows Malaya like the back of his hand, and talk to him is the same, by the way, talk about this time period with nothing of the Scottish problem.
Strictly speaking Britain did not carry out an industrial transfer, only a division of industry within the British Empire, so Malaya was chosen. Malaya’s industries are British industries, except that they are separated when it comes to statistical data, when to count Malaya’s industries and the mainland’s industries, and when not to count them, depending on what’s at stake, and there are different statistical standards for different issues.
At present Malaya’s per capita output is roughly in line with Japan’s, both at two thousand dollars, but of course Malaya is counted in pounds sterling, over seven hundred pounds sterling.
The output per capita in mainland Britain is also two thousand, but it is two thousand pounds, and the difference between Malaya and mainland Britain is in the region of two and a half times, which is actually just about right.
If the difference is too far, the residents of Malaya may well think of moistening to live in Britain, and the relationship between mainland Britain and Malaya will not be one of division of labor, but one of risk of impact on mainland Britain.
“Add in some additional factors such as the livability of the mainland, and the comparative advantages of the region, and the Malayan locals will pretty much just think of the UK as a place to visit. There will be no urge to leave their homes and smuggle people across the border, which is good for us all.” Alan Wilson asked rhetorically after hearing this, “I see that the neighboring countries have a great urge to smuggle people into Malaya.”
“Secretary General, you are right, the problem of people smuggling was already serious before I left office, everywhere, especially after the independence of Dutch Kalimantan. There was a lot of pressure on East Malaysia to smuggle people.” Richard painfully admits that the gap in Kalimantan is actually quite small.
The gdp calculation is now generally accepted in all countries, except that it is calculated differently according to the value of the currency, with the sterling area calculated in pounds sterling, and the rest of the country in US dollars. The Philippines in dollars, two hundred per capita, Thailand two hundred per capita, Indonesia one hundred if calculated in rubles, and Myanmar is less than one hundred pounds.
The gap between Malaya and the British mainland is less than three times, and the surrounding countries have has been pulled to five to ten times the gap, Malaya will not be thinking of running to the British mainland, the neighboring countries also have a lot of run to Malaya, there are foreign immigrants threat, but also the British army can stand firm, open a specific news, every day is the British army caught how many illegal immigrants.
“So people in Malaya after hard labor, want to experience the life of people, go next to Thailand, the Philippines on the line. Dash around for a while before coming back.” Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, “That’s good, if they flooded into the mainland, it might bring unnecessary conflicts. Of course treat the neighboring countries with courtesy.”
“This is something the Secretary General can rest assured, even capturing the fishermen of a certain big country, we all eat and drink well and give plenty of food before releasing them back.” Richard said this is also added, “The main thing is that we can not afford to mess with them, too many fishing boats, and all carry guns.”
“Maritime militia, anyway, they are all small boats, how much more can we get? If something really goes wrong, we can’t afford to spend time with them, pulling the battleships out to chase the fishing boats?” Alan Wilson nodded, “This is very right, today’s friend may be tomorrow’s enemy, who says that the relationship between the two countries can’t be improved? All the African countries have been calling for them to return to the United Nations for the past few years, maybe one day the two countries will become a responsible great power relationship again, who’s to say.”
Those battleships that are bigger than his father, or honestly in accordance with the minimum sailing standards to stay, even if the logistics package to the Chinese, nothing to clean up very clean, who knows in the end into the middle of the battle, will not turn over halfway? Positioned there nothing to soak, maybe even scare others.
Income comparison Richard is very vocal, in fact, Malaya’s per capita income is still lower than Japan so a little bit, but to take out the Malays, if the Chinese income is higher than the Japanese so a little bit, but no matter what, it is much higher than the neighboring countries.
You are an independent country, Malaya is a colony, does it work? You listen to the radio, I watch TV, you ride bicycles and I drive, and we all have bright futures for each other.
“Pamela will be inviting some Emirs as guests in a while, you send an invitation to the Sultans of Malaya in my place.” Alan Wilson softly commanded, “There are some things to talk about, no problem?”
“Leave it to my secretary general!” Richard immediately said that there was no problem, as for what exactly was to be talked about, he didn’t care and didn’t ask what he shouldn’t ask.
In fact, there were also the people from the four major families in Xiangjiang, these people Pamela Mountbatten herself notified, there was no need for him, a civil servant, to worry about it.
At the time of the imminent disintegration of the Brexit system, the interests involved want to sit together and talk about it, to cope with the future of the treacherous situation, is very normal, early preparation is good.
There is strength in numbers, and although they come from different countries and have different beliefs, they can definitely put aside their preconceived notions in the face of benefits and create a better future together.
Before this private business meeting, the incident of the Japanese tanker running aground in the Suez Canal and blocking the navigation channel became the origin of the accusatory tirade between Egypt and Japan against each other. Japan claimed that it was the Egyptian side that was leading the problem, and the Egyptian side refuted the accusation and claimed compensation from Japan or else did not rule out treating Japanese vessels differently in the future.
This Egyptian-Japanese dispute, naturally, had nothing to do with England, but to say that the source of this occurrence was, of course, my Great Britain.
When Prince Munam arrived in London, he was still harping on the rudeness of the Japanese, and Allen Wilson then assured that Britain would certainly stand by Egypt, and that “claims must be made against Japan. How many of these things have happened in Japan in the last few years, and I can see that there is something wrong with Japanese shipbuilding.”
Not to mention the fact that the Royal Navy labored enough when the Japanese ocean-going fishing vessel sank in the North Atlantic last year, launching an emergency rescue that has yet to be found. Although that is the Newfoundland side of the fishing boat sunk, but this Allen Wilson covered up, who knows? Since no one knew, it was a natural sinking.
“Princess Badia, you are the one who is so graceful.” Allen Wilson politely big greeting, said against his will lies, the other party although is the princess of the dignity, but and the same Shaohua no longer Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman still can not be compared.
“The Secretary General is so good at talking, Pamela is the one who is graceful.” Princess Badia received the promise with a smile, and then looked to some emirs and sultans of Hawksin Manor, nodding secretly in her heart.
Pamela Mountbatten was introducing the emerald house of the manor, it was well known that pacifists preferred green things because of their religion and living environment. Several Emirs showed very interested expressions and commented on the Emerald House.
Not long after, a group of people along with his sister-in-law entered the manor, ready to talk about the development of the community of interest, which did not need to let the British officials know. People’s good friends came to the UK as guests, do they still need to report to Whitehall? It is not too late for the government to step in when it really comes to the independence of these protectorates.
Bar …… Allen Wilson lit a cigar and spat out a long smoke ring, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai, these emirates, each of them in the latter days is the existence of a piece of cloth on the head.
