Chapter 357: Selling the Country on Purpose

There is a real win-win situation in such things as trade, and at this point in time, Allen Wilson was not particularly pessimistic. Rubber resources and tin ore, the Soviet Union in fact have alternatives, in terms of mineral resources, the Soviet Union like the country, it can be said that there is no lack of any minerals, which of course also includes tin ore, the world’s largest country is not just a name?

As for rubber resources, this is completely trapped in the innate conditions of the reason, typical of the pain of high latitude. Just as the Soviet Union could never surpass the United States in mango production, because there was just no place in the Soviet Union where a tropical fruit like the mango could take root.

The same would have been true in the field of rubber, although the difference is that mangoes cannot be synthesized artificially, but the technology to synthesize rubber is already out there, which, as it happens, is the Soviet Union’s strong suit.

In terms of military machinery, today’s Soviet Union is a beast like no other in the history of mankind. Rubber is an important industrial resource that possesses good physical properties and has a very wide range of industrial uses, such as the manufacture of sealing materials, tires of all sorts, and vibration-damping facilities.

The Soviet Union as a high-latitude countries, its industrial system is very developed, during the Second World War, the Soviet Union manufactured a large number of weapons, which undoubtedly requires a large number of rubber resources, and rubber products will be aging, can not be like steel, back to the furnace after re-use. Then the problem came, the Soviet Union is a relatively isolated country, and most of the Soviet Union’s territory is in the high latitudes, there is no natural rubber as a resource, and at that time many parts of the tropics are European colonies, the Soviet Union to develop the rubber of the industry will have to break out of this unfavorable situation.

Through technological advances to prevent being necked, such a move Allen Wilson is no stranger to prevent being necked and not only belongs to the Soviet Union, a major power is also often so called.

Rubber trees cut, the sap condensation of the unprocessed product is called raw rubber, and the Soviet Union as a high-latitude countries, natural raw rubber is basically dependent on imports

In fact, the Soviet Union is very short of natural rubber resources, because of this, as early as the twenties, that is, the Soviet Union just after the birth of a short time, they began the development of synthetic rubber. As early as 1931, the Soviet Union has successfully synthesized the first experimental products but sodium rubber.

The USSR was ahead of the United States and Germany in this field, and was the absolute leader in synthetic rubber. By the forties, the Soviet Union Yerevan Synthetic Rubber Plant produced chloroprene rubber for the first time with propriety polymerization, chloroprene rubber molecules contain chlorine atoms, because of this, it has excellent antioxidant properties, and resistance to oil, solvents, acids and alkalis, and the most important thing is that it is not flammable, and it can self-extinguish after catching on fire, which is also the only kind of oil-resistant rubber produced by the Soviet Union in the wartime, and this kind of rubber is widely used in various kinds of Soviet military industry seals and fireproofing materials.

Technically, since the Soviet Union was the leader in synthetic rubber, the British Empire no longer had the possibility of jamming the Soviet Union’s neck. Then since there is no ability to jam the Soviet Union’s neck, we have to change a set of methods, using cheap rubber, occupation of the Soviet Union’s market, it so happens that British Malaya has this condition.

In the report, Allen Wilson elaborated on the need to open the Soviet market with tin ore and rubber. Showed that the neck is no longer meaningful, the British Empire’s current priority is to restore national strength as soon as possible, the U.S. market is the most important, the Soviet Union market is second only to the U.S. market is the most important market.

In the report, Alan Wilson also Napoleon’s continental blockade as an example, showing that the so-called blockade is meaningless. When Napoleon arrived in Berlin, ordered the whole of Europe to take out the continental blockade order, a time when the British industry was in a state of panic, but who was the winner in the end?

The Soviet Union has passed the most difficult time, the current abatement of the Soviet Union’s hostility to prevent another war in Europe. For the current British Empire is favorable, but also through trade with the Soviet Union as soon as possible to restore national strength.

Since the Soviet Union now wishes to purchase the Rollo engine, Britain can take advantage of the opportunity to make a request for the Soviet Union to open up its market, so that tin ore and rubber from Malaya, can enter the Soviet Union without any obstacles.

“Without a one-time purchase of large quantities of engines, or a buyout of patents, the deal would be worthless. The main problem in this negotiation is that the Soviet Union’s indifference to intellectual property rights as a weapon of imperialist exploitation of the world must be guarded against being duped.”

Stalin read Alan Wilson’s report in a staccato manner with a very interesting expression on his face, then looked to Beria and said, “Does this Englishman seem to know our country well?”

“Comrade Stalin, I will focus my investigation.” Beria assured with a serious face, “It’s my duty to dig out the lurking people’s public enemy of imperialism.”

“It’s not particularly urgent, but of course we all know that even incompetent bureaucratic collectives like Britain’s occasionally produce a useful person or two. At least it will prove that the deal can still go ahead, the skies of the Fatherland need to be guarded by the People’s Air Force, and this interchange is vital.” Stalin set the course of this matter, “Divide the imperialists, is the current priority, on the one hand the current attitude of Prime Minister Airdrie is not extreme, at least much less hostile to the Soviet Union than that bulldog, on the other hand, Britain’s current national strength is all by virtue of the accumulation of the past, after a long time the colonies are unlikely to continue to exist, and the main enemy is still the U.S.S.R. Of course We must not state this openly.”

“Now in this world, the main thing is to take care of the United States, then everything is taken care of, and all the problems will cease to exist.”

“As much as possible to prevent the formation of the imperialist encirclement network against us, if you can’t do it then postpone it, what’s more, we don’t lose out on this deal, the motherland’s tin mines are concentrated in the Far East, and the cost of synthetic rubber is much higher than imports, of course, we can’t give up our own resources and technology that have been needed from time to time, but if the imperialists want to sell the noose? Why should we refuse?”

“Why not?” At this time at 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Adderley similarly took a position on the report. Wasn’t it normal for the Kremlin to receive the news before Ten Downing Street?

But this did not delay Prime Minister Aidley from feeling pleased that, for reasons of present-day law, the government should not interfere with corporate trade; after all, Rollo itself was willing to facilitate the deal.

Alan Wilson suggested making it more difficult to test the Soviet Union’s bottom line, and Airdrie agreed with this in a million ways. Although Malaya’s tin ore and rubber were currently exported mainly to the United States, why should the Soviet Union object if it needed them?

And it wasn’t like it was a secret that the Soviet Union had synthetic rubber technology, so what was the point of a blockade since the Soviet Union had such technology?

As the prime minister of the British Empire, Edmund Adderley is not interested in thinking about what bullshit romantic love story, he now only wants to get money, nationalization requires huge investment, now British India is about to become independent, reducing the expenditure of maintaining British India at the same time, but also surely may be like before, as you like, so get money.

If the Soviet market can be in a certain sense for the British Empire open arms, can get a certain degree of cushion.

The Airdrie Cabinet had been trying to broker the deal; after all, there was now a huge investment in government spending. While the British Empire must be wary of the Soviet Union as a country, it doesn’t mean that the ruble should be hated as well.

So Allen Wilson set off from London, ready to take on the Soviets, with the city of Greater Berlin as his final destination. But halfway through Alan Wilson made a brief stop in Bonn.

In today’s Germany, the four occupied territories still exist, all under the control of their respective military commissions. The currencies of the major occupation zones are also different, with both the United States and France issuing temporary currencies in their respective occupation zones.

The Soviet side is much more charged, using the Reichsmark of the Third Reich to continue as the currency in circulation.

As for the British Occupied Territories, which are currently more special, the currency is not absent, but rationing is still mainly enforced. In reality the current Germany is not much different from the Germany just after the war.

Although the United States had invested far more money than Britain and France, it did not have much effect. Because the British-occupied zone is the main industrial area of Germany, and because a number of companies have already reopened, the partial recovery of industry has created a degree of siphoning effect. age population and wealth alike, so the United States, although it had invested a lot of money, was sucked in by the already partially restored industry in the British-occupied zone.

The British cabinet of the day is a Labor government, and after so many years of practicing Magisterialism against the grain, it has a few fires under its belt. The end result is that the U.S.-occupied territories, where the U.S. has put in more money, are still about the same as the dime-a-dozen British-occupied territories, which, if you really want to assess the numbers, are a little more vibrant.

There are still some vicissitudes, but British Occupation is already much stronger than it was two years ago. Currently Alan Wilson’s working relations had been transferred to the Foreign Office at the level of Under-Secretary-General.

Upon arriving in Bonn, Bogina was greatly surprised, but immediately allowed Allen Wilson to stay, prepared the man’s favorite food and asked, “Is there a job this time you come? Or did you come to see us?”

“One way or another.” Allen Wilson opened his mouth and finally shook his head helplessly, this time the job is to sell the country by order, but it’s not good to talk about this with the two Dragon Riders.

After eating, Allen Wilson went to Anna’s bedroom to visit his son, and unsurprisingly, the licking dog nature broke out and apologized for what he had done to Anna earlier.

Raw rice is cooked, now apologize is not with pay what price, Anna although sitting on this man’s lap, face is full of aggression, tears in the eyes, “What can I do? You’re British, I’m just a girl from a defeated country, how dare I be upset?”

“I will be good to you, I swear.” Ellen Wilson said with a pleading face, “You have to forgive me, for Hans’ sake, please, will you?”
