Chapter 1391.
Trade protectionism, disregard for supporting property rights, currency manipulation, and slave labor, these sins are quite familiar, in addition to slave labor, it can be said that all can be applied to Japan, Japan dare to deny it?
Japan is indeed the implementation of trade protection policies, but also massive disregard for supporting property rights to combat the products of Europe and the United States, as for currency manipulation, Japan and Germany have long been in the United States acquiescence to depress the exchange rate to promote exports.
As for slave labor, it might be more accurate to replace it with forced labor. These so-called sins are not the only Japan has, the latter countries have varying degrees of similar problems, but now the World War are over twenty-five years, Japan is no longer the original devastation, but also do so has been said.
Television Wick has taken out a series of evidence, food and clothing are trivial, automotive appliances are worth talking about, a variety of classic models can be found in the Japanese car among the twin brother. Mercedes-Benz BMW Porsche all no exception, surprisingly, there are Land Rover models, are taken out by Wick as a comparison.
Every time Wick paused in his speech, the venue erupted in thunderous applause, and of course Alan Wilson believed that American television would definitely focus on putting their eyes on the American brands that were being cottaged.
“It can’t go on like this, we have tolerated Japan’s bowing and apologizing for years, but this is not a problem that can be solved by bowing and apologizing, there is a limit to what Britain, and all countries, can put up with.”
Wick righteously attacked, “Today, Japan has participated in the 10-nation summit, as a country with a strong economy to participate in the financial summit, can not continue to be based on these negative impressions in the world.”
“Not bad!” Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, in a few days you can hand over the position of the permanent undersecretary of the Foreign Office, in a few years there will be no colonies on the books of the United Kingdom, diplomacy does not need to be clutched in the hands at all times, to the next Xia Meng said, “How do you think my ministry?”
“Not as good as you.” Charmaine spoke up good-naturedly, fulfilling the vanity of supreme authority, “Why do you have to go through so much effort to deal with Japan?”
“The world’s resources are limited, and it’s winner-take-all between countries. Japan’s growth and development will only increase the power of the United States. Japan as a country is not qualified to make conditions.” Alan Wilson coldly explained, “Let’s give it another ten years, and you’ll see what happens to Japan.”
He wasn’t having any preconceived notions about Japan, although the Japanese army’s southward march in World War II did make Britain lose its adults, but that was all in the past. Allen Wilson was definitely not against Japan, if it wasn’t for the fact that the country’s power didn’t allow it, he would have wanted to do even the US and USSR.
Japan’s good days are numbered though, as long as Japan makes the US feel the pain in semiconductors, that’s when the US really starts to get serious about Japan.
Considering that Britain and France retained far more power than they had historically, and that the threat of the Soviet Union in Europe caused the US to be afraid to move Europe casually, the coming of the Plaza Accord would only be advanced and not delayed.
In Allen Wilson that era, many people actually do not know how strong the Japanese economy used to be, he now remembers, full of the Forestry Department to run the Japanese Isuzu, the latest processing plant office building exterior wall pasted with the four words of the Sino-Japanese joint venture, and now look back, the Sino-Japanese joint venture processing plant has been bankrupt for twenty years, do not know how many times it changed hands.
The Plaza Agreement is considered to be the most powerful punch of the United States in the era of peace, almost breaking up the ambition of the entire Japanese economic community, without this agreement, where there is what lost thirty years?
The TV screen switches to the expression of the Japanese Foreign Minister, Alan Wilson puts his arm around Charmaine and laughs, “Look at this, the Japanese have their moments of embarrassment, but don’t be deceived by their superficiality, let me tell you, the country that wants your country to perish the most in this world is them.”
“You guys are having fun with the yellow race’s national infighting, aren’t you?” Xia Meng pinched the man’s arm, if it was in the past she would never dare to do so, now well, Xia Meng also sort of recognized her own value of unification.
“A country of nearly ten million square kilometers and 800 million people, can you be a little bit outstanding? Huh?” Alan Wilson pinched Xia Meng’s chin, slightly shaking his head, “You’ve been out of the country for too long, maybe there’s already a little bit less spirit in you, with the U.S. troops stationed in Japan and South Korea, what you said about not infighting, is simply impossible.”
In terms of industrial ecological position, if a certain big country can’t do anything to crush Japan and South Korea, how can it be a threat to Europe and the United States? But if you want to crush Japan and South Korea, of course, Japan and South Korea will hold tight to the United States thigh, how to break this logical closed loop?
In this meeting, on behalf of his own attendance Wick, but also and the Americans backroom operation, the purpose is to let the United States recognize the threat of Japan. Its theoretical basis is naturally Alan Wilson personally manipulated, Wick is nothing more than the implementer, this basis is that Japan is pulling down the profits of Europe and the United States, because Japan is in, so everyone’s day is not good.
Japan’s economic threat theory in this era has appeared in the United States, but Alan Wilson has a more specific vocabulary set on Japan, such as the developed countries crusher.
It took half a month for the G-10 to sign the Smithsonian Agreement, a full year earlier than in history, and among the proposals Britain made for French support were adopted condemnations of protectionism in trade, disregard for support of property rights, currency manipulation, and slave labor.
It may be that these elements were of little use for the time being, but they were excuses ready to be used whenever the United States felt the need for Japan to make sacrifices one day, and it was a way for Britain to help the United States by looking at the position of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Signed the agreement of the countries Xin total sigh of relief, although only a few months time, from Nixon announced that no longer exchange gold to the end of the year, the import and export of the countries appeared a lot of confusion.
It can be expected that this year’s economic growth is certainly not very good, but since there is a reason for what happened, the blame can be shifted to the United States, Whitehall gave professional advice, Harold Wilson directly adopted, in the House of Commons in the middle of the questioning, vaguely pointed out that the economic growth is not as good as expected, it is entirely the United States of America’s pot, and the government has already been thinking of ways to do so.
The prime minister said how good ah, that is the problem of the United States, if not the United States can not hold up the default, this year’s economic growth in the United Kingdom is certainly very good, if next year’s economic growth is still not good how to do?
That depends on what will happen in the world next year that will enable Britain to shirk its responsibilities.
Alan Wilson went to accompany the Secretary of State for Defense to see the Typhoon fighter again, Dennis Healey also drilled into the cockpit, after all, the arc-shaped cockpit cover, will lead to the distortion of the image, that is, similar to the effect of convex lenses, and the early fighters, are relying on the gun fighting, if the field of vision is distorted, it will be very troublesome to fight, so the mirror directly in front of the cabin, it must be flat, and to be with the back of the arc-shaped cockpit cover blending in, there would still have to be transitions on both sides, so that they formed a three-piece windshield.
The Spee engine was even less of an issue, and since it was a new type of fighter, some less-than-expected areas could be forgiven, and I’m sure no one would think that the 1970s generation f15 primaries were the same as the 2020s f15s, even if they were both called f15s.
The fact is that many weapons that haven’t changed much on the outside are just that, unchanged on the outside, and have long since been turned upside down on the inside, and all of them have been constantly modified to meet the criteria for maximizing their design.
Judging by Dennis Healey’s reaction, Alan Wilson felt that the newest member of the RAF would soon be inundated with enough orders to surprise.
On this side and the Secretary of State for Defense to contribute to the defense of the United Kingdom at the same time, distant South Asia, the situation has changed again, for the military overturned the results of the election, the Bengalis can not accept, they are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan, can not accept the exploited position forever, even if it is what to consider the overall situation, the same religion of the excuse is also not.
Independence until now has been more than twenty years, even religious fanaticism, there is also a time of ebb and flow, to be able to endure to this day, the Bengalis have already been considered worthy of Pakistan as a country.
The slogan of autonomy for East Pakistan appeared for the first time in the center of Dhaka, the Bengalis believe that their demand is reasonable, and did not want independence, but just want West Pakistan to face up to their own demands.
The Pakistani military did face up to this demand and Yahya Khan immediately ordered the Bihar military police in Dhaka to suppress the Bengalis who knew nothing of the power, while using the air force to transport troops to East Pakistan, the clash took place and was extremely bloody.
As for Rahman, the leader of the Pakistan Awami League, the largest party in East Pakistan, naturally and unsurprisingly, he was broken into by government forces and then thrown directly into prison. Immediately thereafter, Yahya Khan declared his party illegal and banned its activities with immediate effect.
As a journalist, and a money-loving and adventurous one at that, Marlowe was equally scrupulous in his contractual spirit; he knew what his employer wanted to see and worked for it.
After the military’s move, he knew this was the big story the country needed, and for that reason he acted. The refugee camps were located fifty kilometers west of Dhaka, with three large makeshift camps along the highway, each with twenty to thirty tents measuring nearly one hundred square meters, and hundreds of refugees lined up for registration.
Hundreds of refugees were lining up for registration. Several Bengalis were washing their feet around a temporary tap. At the entrance of a grass-green tent, four children were eating a kind of pancake made of white flour. The women, wrapped tightly in black veils, do not allow reporters to approach their tents.
Marlowe walked respectfully to a police car, held out a pound and asked an officer what he could photograph. In slow English, he said, “Refugees in the camp. But no police officers are allowed to be photographed!”
If he was told that the refugees refused to be photographed and what if they attacked him, the officer said with a grimace, “I think you know what to do with that.”
He immediately grabbed the picture and took it carefully, doing his best to avoid getting the police in the picture or enraging the nervous refugees. Trying to smile at each one, he quickly judged whether the subject would allow the shutter to be pressed.
