Putting down the microphone, Alan Wilson waved his fist fiercely in front of his wife and punched the air wildly.
"Look at you like that." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but smile, looking at her husband's childish side with a smile, "Are you angry now?"
In the past two years, my husband has been busy with the Iran issue, and now there is finally a good result...
After stretching his muscles, Alan Wilson said calmly, "He asked for it. We have said repeatedly that this matter can be discussed. It is because he insists on treating Britain as an enemy country. Today's outcome is just to let him understand.
In this world, small countries have no say."
"It's too straightforward and most countries simply can't accept it." Pamela Mountbatten agreed softly.
"But it is also the most honest truth. In front of the United Kingdom, Iran is that small country without the ability to resist. In front of the United States and the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom is actually within this range, if not completely. So we must make changes.
It's okay. Some people don't accept it in their hearts to be friendly with France, but it still has to be done."
"And we must rely on the power of Europe. If France is allowed to act irresponsibly, it may be marginalized after France integrates Europe. Once European influence is squeezed out by France, the strategy of flying on both sides will go bankrupt."
Getting closer to Europe is inevitable. Once European countries recovered from World War II, they have actually recovered to varying degrees. The UK is still outside of Europe, and its situation will be quite embarrassing.
After all, a small English Channel is not enough to isolate Europe's economic influence. If it is affected and is not a part of it, the UK will become extremely passive.
"This is what you have always advocated, and I understand your painstaking efforts." Pamela Mountbatten took her husband's hand, asked Alan Wilson to sit down, and then sat on her husband's lap.
In terms of economic comparison, we still have a great advantage."
"For four hundred years, we have been the best country in the world. Even if we are not the best in the future, we hope to maintain the title of the best in Europe." Alan Wilson reached out and took his wife's hand, "Yes.
Now, Glasgow in the north has accepted subsequent Chinese interns. If you are interested in shipbuilding, you can pay attention."
"Scotland? The country is about balance!" Pamela Mountbatten imitated her husband's tone and acted like a senior Whitehall bureaucrat. "The center of the shipbuilding industry, I don't know what will happen in the future."
"In the future? If I have the ability, I will try to take care of the local people's emotions." Alan Wilson has not yet figured out how to balance the economy in Scotland. Now, although he is beginning to adjust this shipbuilding center and shift to service-oriented yachts, and
Large container construction is possible, but it is hard to say how long it will last.
The problem in Glasgow is not unique to the UK. The manufacturing industry is facing competition from all countries. This has started globalization again, and the original method of having resources nearby no longer works.
Some cities in the south that also have shipbuilding industries can transform by virtue of their location close to Europe. Glasgow's location does not have an advantage, so it will be much more difficult to transform.
Use administrative power to balance it? Glasgow is not the capital. The capital of the United Kingdom is London. How can there be administrative power to support it?
In the UK, the area near Glasgow is equivalent to the Great Lakes in the United States and the northeastern part of a large country.
A city supported by resources, but in the era of globalization, there is always a place with lower resource costs than yours. Excellent coastal ports have defeated industrial centers with nearby resources. Hasn’t the Great Lakes region in the United States also become a rust belt? As for the Northeast,
Forget it.
Neither of these two gifted places can compete with globalization, as long as globalization continues. If such places can persist, there is no way they can return to their former status.
There is no solution unless countries start a trade war, cut off their trade exchanges, and enter the rhythm of imposing tariffs on each other before World War I or World War II.
If globalization is allowed to exist in name only, then the general environment for the coastal ports of various countries will disappear, and the advantage of having nearby resources will be revealed again.
In the Great Lakes region of the United States, Alan Wilson still has to ask six agencies for data analysis, but he doesn't need to analyze it in the Northeast. He has lived there his whole life. Compared with Glasgow, the problem in the Northeast is one more population loss.
Moving away is only part of it. In fact, the Northeast does not rank at all in the ranking of the proportion of out-migration in the entire country.
Although it seems to be ranked among the top three in public opinion in some places. Provinces that are really being sucked out are trying their best to build strong provincial capital models, such as Chengdu and Hefei, to resist the sucking.
The greater proportion of population loss in the Northeast is that the aging population has entered a period of concentrated death.
In fact, there is a very simple way to look at the aging of the population. For example, if Alan Wilson lived in a town in his previous life, he would go out for a walk for an hour and write down a pharmacy when he saw it. If the number of pharmacies is not far different from the ratio of restaurants, then
Nailed on the board.
Anyway, in his hometown, the number of students in square dance training classes has exceeded the number of children's dance students.
At least Glasgow should not have a population problem, and Alan Wilson does not have personal experience of being an only child for nearly forty years, which is an added advantage. However, compared with the Great Lakes region and the Northeast, Glasgow also has obvious disadvantages.
That is to say, the former is really close to resources. The thickness of resources in Glasgow is incomparable with others.
The situation in the Northeast and the Great Lakes should be fortunate that it has not been encountered in other parts of the country. The trade war has continued for ten or twenty years, and its impact has spread to every corner. Many places may not perform as well as these two places.
If foreign trade is completely abolished and each of us stops interacting with each other, there may be a wave of people returning home. Just because these two places can withstand it doesn’t mean that you can too.
People are so strong that they can withstand it. In Alan Wilson's memory, Glasgow was almost killed by Margaret Thatcher, and it fell directly out of the top three cities from the second city in the UK.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Northeast and the Great Lakes have been affected by globalization for so many years, and they are still at least in the middle of the country.
Scotland's largest city fell directly out of the top three, not to mention Scotland's situation. The whole of Scotland is equivalent to other countries, which is equivalent to not having a first-tier city in the entire north. No wonder Scotland wants independence.
"Is there any industry with high barriers that you can consider locating in Glasgow in the future?" Thinking about the future, Alan Wilson was inevitably worried and blew his whistle on Pamela Mountbatten, a patriotic entrepreneur.
"I didn't consider it at first, but since the head of the family said so, I will definitely do it." Pamela Mountbatten looked obedient, although she felt that her husband was unfounded.
After sleeping together for so many years, Alan Wilson could see what the woman was thinking at a glance. He said that this was definitely not unfounded. If the resources of the Great Lakes and the Northeast were released to Scotland, Scotland would not be independent in the next century.
If the decline of the shipbuilding industry is inevitable, even Southampton on the English Channel will be transformed. There is no semiconductor industry in Glasgow, and Alan Wilson is not at ease.
If Land Rover were to open a Range Rover production line, it would be in Glasgow. As for other industries, Alan Wilson has not thought about it.
Despite his humble position, he did not dare to worry about the country, and the coffin had to be closed before the matter was finalized. Although it was not yet the day when he would be the cabinet secretary to oversee the overall situation, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still vigilant in times of peace and devoted himself to the issue of internal balance in the UK.
He decided to take advantage of today's peaceful environment to visit the local area of Glasgow and see if he could take care of the Chinese interns. In the Glasgow Industrial Area, in order to welcome the arrival of the Chinese interns, some roads leading to the shipyard were posted with
Xia Meng’s giant poster creates a homely feeling for nearly 3,000 interns.
Alan Wilson looks very cool, and he has already won the goddess in people's minds.
In Tehran, the capital of Iran, Mossadegh's heavyweight political allies and six senior ministers, including former Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan and Foreign Minister Hossein Fatemi, ushered in the final trial.
.
This is a very controversial trial. The UK is trying its best to build momentum in public opinion. This is a setback for the Soviet bloc to subvert the free world. As for the flying coffin before, it is a temporary relief in the face of major right and wrong. Both Britain and France have reached an agreement.
A cooperation agreement was reached.
Su Lin and his camp criticized the trial, believing it to be another act of imperialist aggression.
But this could not change the fate of Mossadegh and others. The court declared Mossadegh and others guilty and rejected Mossadegh's confession that he had not defected to the Soviet Union.
Mossadegh and others were declared guilty and sentenced to death by hanging immediately. At this time, Alan Wilson had just finished his inspection in Glasgow and rushed to Basra to prepare to sign a document on lifting sanctions.
At this time, news of Mossadegh's death had spread throughout the world. At the same time, Pahlavi, who returned in victory, ordered the execution of dozens of military personnel and student leaders who had ties to Mossadegh. The National Front was classified as an illegal organization.
Most of the leaders of the National Front were arrested. The People's Party was even more suppressed.
Countless Mossadegh supporters fled to the north and into South Azerbaijan, hoping to be protected by the local pro-Soviet environment.
"We cannot deny that the Soviet Union has attempts to split Iran to reverse this failure."
Alan Wilson declared victory to Major McCordick and Norman Schwarzkopf, representing the United States, almost in a spirited tone, "But I believe that the Soviets will not be able to achieve their goals. The free world has already done everything possible.
Be prepared that Britain, together with its great ally the United States, will protect Iran from the Soviet threat."
Alan Wilson's face was full of confidence, and he wished that the United States and the Soviet Union could quickly push the Iran crisis to the next stage. Anyway, once the document was signed, the United Kingdom would officially be out of Iran. However, there was still Soviet influence in the north of Iran, and the conflict quickly intensified, leaving
Kennedy looked for something to do.
It was clear that Britain had suffered a loss this time, but Alan Wilson still pretended to be a winner, wishing that these two countries that were more powerful than Britain would die on the spot.
