Chapter 1,131 Kennedy wants to talk

Kennedy was going to visit the Federal Republic of Germany? After receiving this news, Alan Wilson couldn't help but ponder. Is this in response to the Soviet Union's test of the Tsarist nuclear bomb? Kennedy wanted to reach the front line of the Cold War to demonstrate the fearlessness of the United States?

This is a low-cost move that does not cost much and can establish the image of a cold warrior.

It looks dangerous, but in fact there is no danger. West Berlin, surrounded by Soviet troops, is safer than the United States in a sense. At least if Alan Wilson, he would definitely dare to sit in a convertible and laugh...

However, what is different from history is that West Berlin is not empty now, but it is almost like a large military camp.

The Berlin Wall has been under construction for some years. Compared with the area of ​​West Berlin, the existing population cannot afford the daily maintenance of half an international metropolis.

Overgrown with weeds, the entire West Berlin is desolate, just like a city after the exhaustion of resources. With such a city appearance, can Kennedy still call me a Berliner? It is difficult to find a crowded audience, right?

In fact, many people in the Federal Republic of Germany no longer regard West Berlin as part of their own country.

Historically, after the construction of the Berlin Wall was completed, the Federal Republic of Germany could no longer absorb the labor force of the Democratic Republic of Germany from Berlin, so the Federal Republic of Germany government had the idea of ​​​​exchanging some border territories of the Democratic Republic of Germany with West Berlin.

It's just that this move is not in the interest of Britain, the United States and France. The operation of West Berlin is the responsibility of the Federal Republic of Germany, but this stronghold deep in the Democratic Republic of Germany has huge strategic significance for the free world.

The Federal Republic of Germany's move to give up West Berlin in exchange for some land bordering the Democratic Republic of Germany will naturally not be agreed to.

Now, the Federal Republic of Germany has this idea again. Facing an increasingly dilapidated West Berlin with less than 100,000 citizens, the Federal Republic of Germany does not want to continue blood transfusions.

Rab Butler asked the Prime Minister what he thought of Kennedy's European trip. Eden was noncommittal and asked, "Have there been any difficulties in the work of the Foreign Office recently?"

"There is no difficulty, everything is in order." Rab Butler replied simply.

"Those Whitehall officials didn't express any opinions?" Aiden asked with a smile, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

"Alan, you've been very busy recently, exchanging intelligence with the Five Eyes Alliance, checking the progress of ship support, and working on overseas asset assessments." Rab Butler shrugged and sighed, "Very busy."

Isn't it very busy? Alan Wilson, who was in Glasgow, expressed his enthusiasm for the British shipbuilding industry, and thanks to Hepburn's support for his work, he drove him over in his newly purchased Bentley.

"This is the contract sent by the administrative bureau official from Xiangjiang." When he arrived at the shipbuilding center in Scotland, Alan Wilson took out a stack of documents and handed them to Hepburn.

"What is this?" Hepburn was confused and asked a man of the same status as her husband.

"A piece of land, a factory built to produce drugs from East Asia, the one you wiped there last time was one of them." Alan Wilson pushed it into Hepburn's hand, "All the procedures have been completed."

"It's too expensive, I can't take it." Hepburn's face turned red and she shook her head. She knew the weight of this document very well.

"Here, the value of colonial industry is simply a matter of what we say. If we say every inch of land in Xiangjiang is valuable, every inch of land is valuable; if we say it is not worth a penny, then it is not worth a penny."

Alan Wilson replied expressionlessly, "The specific value is just a word from us."

Just like the area of ​​Hong Kong can fully accommodate the existing population, but in order to maximize profits and generate more income, the British Hong Kong authorities will not promote low-cost housing to cover the entire population.

This is just a selective question, not a question with only one correct answer.

Only reform measures that do not involve the basic structure of the British Hong Kong political system can be implemented to a certain extent; any reform measure that touches the basic structure of the British Hong Kong political system, no matter how controversial it is at the time or how much impact it has, the results will be

The British government denies it.

Taking a piece of land from Xiangjiang and manufacturing some tried and tested medicines is completely within Alan Wilson's ability. If he only considered the Chinese market, he would have given this document to Xia Meng.

But considering that the mainstream group of British citizens has rough skin problems common among white people, he felt that these ointment-type products should be able to enter the British market, so it would be more appropriate to hand them over to Hepburn. As for Xia Meng’s benefits, he would

If he thinks about anything else, he won't treat the other party badly anyway.

"It's actually pretty good here!" Alan Wilson pointed to Glasgow outside the car window. The sea breeze is very harmful to the skin. Thousands of interns are working right now. Considering the water and soil issues, he, a permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the former Malayan

As a local emperor, it is normal for you to come and care about me.

It is normal to bring some ointments suitable for Chinese people. You can gain goodwill without paying anything.

"These interns are very diligent, and their seriousness is impressive." A shipyard owner was full of praise for the interns assigned to him, and even wanted to ask if there were any plans for the next batch.

.

"We need to consider the impact on local employment. Although I am not the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, I cannot ignore this issue." Alan Wilson directly interrupted the shipyard owner's speculation, "The internship period is two years.

, is equivalent to a migrant worker. They will leave after two years."

"These skilled workers who have been trained do not have suitable jobs when they go back. I think they can definitely postpone their employment."

"At that time, the Ministry of Home Affairs will have a view that takes into account the interests of all parties." Alan Wilson said to himself, "What do you think? Do you really think you can use a labor force with only one-third of the wages in the UK for a long time?"

When the economy is doing well, hello, me, and everyone, once economic development encounters difficulties, these people are often the scapegoats. Too many precedents have proven this.

Even the British shipbuilding industry depends on whether it can compete with Japan locally before it can consider whether it is necessary to retain it.

"How are the yacht orders in the Middle East being completed?" Alan Wilson asked about the completion level of some orders, which were all orders obtained by his wife in exchange for returning oil to the sheikhs.

From this point of view, these shipyard owners should thank his wife and himself. Pamela Mountbatten returned the oil share and established a strong relationship with the local upper class. Based on this, he himself won a large number of

Yacht order.

"The British shipbuilding industry must win with high-quality products, taking into account both luxury and seaworthiness. I believe there will be no problem. Our ships can adapt to the North Atlantic and any sea surface."

The North Atlantic is also known as the Ocean of Storms. Faced with this environment, Britain has always prioritized the seaworthiness of shipbuilding. As for the Pacific Ocean, just by looking at the name, you can tell what European sailors know about the Pacific Ocean.

"What is this?" When they saw a large box of unknown ointment, these shipyard owners had to ask.

"The ointment used by the Chinese is very effective for the skin on the body. Especially for hemorrhoids!" Alan Wilson said nonsensically, "Jakema Hemorrhoid Ointment, help me distribute it to the interns."

Scotland is of great significance to both Hepburn and Alan Wilson, and was the beginning of their relationship.

The weather was warm, and the characteristic pale blue of the cloudless sky gave the Scottish sea and sky a brightness never seen even at more favorable latitudes. The air was fresh and pleasant, and the sun shone with an extraordinary brilliance.

, illuminates the changing color of the forest, as if it were richly and beautifully coated with thousands of bright and vivid pigments.

Driven by the strong breeze, the huge river surges forward with sparkling waves, and the tops of the rapid waves are gleaming with white spray.

If there is no sight more striking than this magnificent river, its breadth, depth, and clarity of water, as well as its importance to Scotland, are compelling enough to merit the attention of every thinking mind.

praise.

Alan Wilson expressed his heartfelt praise to Hepburn, not knowing whether it was for nature or for flowers, "After these many years have passed, I recall every past event that aroused the feeling of surprise in my chest.

It is so beautiful, so heartbreaking that one cannot help but be grateful and worship the omnipotent Creator.”

"What on earth are you talking about?" Hepburn, who was shrouded in such a gaze, couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, but still pretended not to know and asked, "You are praising the scenery of Scotland, or are you?"

"Both! We have many wonderful memories here." Alan Wilson grabbed Hepburn's hand and put it on his chest, whispering affectionately, "Everything in front of me is like a noble goddess full of vitality, accepting the worship of all pilgrims.

"

The joys and sorrows of the world are not the same. Kennedy still arrived in West Berlin and delivered a speech: I am a Berliner. Although there were not many audiences, it was not difficult for Kennedy, the leader of the free world, to attribute the ruin of West Berlin to

, the Soviet bloc did not dare to compete directly with the free world.

This is only part of the truth. Anyway, Alan Wilson is not prepared to compete with the Eastern Europeans. The construction of the Soviet Union for so many years is not ineffective. The quality of the population in Eastern Europe is not the same as before World War II.

If competition were really liberalized, and Eastern Europe would be under the control of the Soviet Union, Britain would no longer have to consider Japan's competition. Eastern European countries would quickly replace Japan and compete with Western European countries.

After delivering an impassioned speech, Kennedy began a visit to Europe to unite the free world against the threat of the Soviet Union. This unity refers to the free world united at the core of the United States. London was the last stop of Kennedy's European tour.

Alan Wilson had to be offended by the itinerary specified by this disgraceful American president and return to London to see what was going on. Hepburn was unwilling, as she had not spent enough time in Scotland.
