"With regard to matters in the Americas, we still have to follow the advice of the Americans and mainly adopt a soft attitude. We can release some positive signals when necessary."
In fact, what value does Falk Island have? It cannot be said that it has no value at all, but it does not have much value.
Although later generations say that there are certain natural resource reserves, it is not known whether they have the value of extraction. Just like the help of Russian natural gas and the European industry, American natural gas can only increase the cost of European industry. What if it is not cost-effective to extract it?
The Falklands War was just the product of shifting conflicts between two leaders who were under pressure from domestic public opinion. Even though Mrs. Thatcher was re-elected several times, when privatization was carried out, the wave of protests she faced was no better than the wave of protests in the United States in the 1970s.
Even smaller, until the news of his death came, countless British people celebrated.
From this point of view, the Falklands Islands should be kept for now, and the means of shelving the dispute should be adopted, and they may be used in the future.
The operation method is not difficult for the UK. First, it must establish the ideological stamp that the UK will not use force because of the Falklands and Argentina. When the vast majority of Argentinians understand this, they need Argentine patriots to hold the national flag to express their patriotism.
Well, Alan Wilson will naturally guide British public opinion to continue to let it go.
There are still a lot of steps to take, but in fact it is not difficult. If there are no Argentine patriots, he can hire a passionate young man out of his own pocket. As for controlling local public opinion in the beginning, it is also very simple.
While the two were discussing the cold handling of the Falklands issue, Frank, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, pushed open the door and left, "Sir, you called me?"
"Oh, Frank, we are all colleagues, don't call us strangers." Alan Wilson smiled and pointed to another chair. When the other person sat down, he asked, "About Turing, President of the Royal Interstellar Society and Chairman of the Semiconductor Association.
Sir, the issue of the required financial subsidies requires the Ministry of Finance to adopt an attitude and promote it in a professional spirit. Is there any problem?"
"In fact, the Ministry of Finance has never been very appreciative of things like subsidies. Of course, the Secretary-General is concerned about this issue, and we will implement it." Frank backed away tactically, "I will convince my colleagues."
"The basic rule of the Ministry of Finance is that if you are poor, be honest, and if you want to play tricks, be smart." Alan Wilson smiled slightly and said to himself, "Isn't that right?"
"Just like how we treat workers, we must not let them do whatever they want, otherwise it will not be a good thing for the country." Frank changed the subject, "But since it is Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband who are benefiting society, we believe that the financial performance of semiconductors
Subsidies and funding for Galileo? No problem there.”
"It's reassuring that the Ministry of Finance has this attitude." Alan Wilson scratched his scalp and seemed to let go of the huge stone in his heart. "The international situation is unstable this year. We must be careful. Protect our interests overseas and make
The right decision, no doubt about it, it was tough."
"Japan's industrial competition? By the way, the Tokyo Olympics will start next month. The secretary-general's wife should be quite busy now." Frank said this with a clear meaning. It is another good opportunity for Newfoundland to make a fortune.
Behind the carnival of Newfoundland residents, there are also other beneficiaries. "By the way, where has Madam been in the past few days? I didn't hear the Secretary-General mention it."
"We went to Lisbon. As for Japan? Hum!" Alan Wilson said disapprovingly, "Apart from the so-called demographic dividend of tens of millions, Japan has nothing worth paying attention to. Do they think they can puff up their chests through economic rise? Then let
We'll see. But President Park Chung-hee of South Korea should be a ruthless character."
In Alan Wilson's previous life, the process of growth was Japan's continuous decline. In fact, as long as the United States is a little more strict, Japan will not be able to reach the status of its previous life.
Geographically speaking, Japan during the Cold War lost its original market and source of raw materials, which was a certain major country. The southward strategy that Japan later adopted was the so-called flying goose strategy.
Just look at how far away Japan is from Southeast Asia and you will know whether this strategy is reliable. China, the Soviet Union and North Korea in the Far East are both hostile camps, and South Korea, which is right next to Japan, has worse basic conditions than Japan.
If Japan's flying goose strategy hits the center of Malaya, Malaya will have advantages in most areas except for its population disadvantage. There was no Malaya in the original history, but now there is...
This colony was tailor-made for Japan and South Korea, and it was also a rebalancing of the Asia-Pacific in a sense.
With his supreme authority, the climb of Japan and South Korea will be full of thorns, but Alan Wilson still thinks this is a good thing, isn't there a saying? Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
As long as Park Chung-hee dares to send troops and exchange Korean blood for support, the United States will definitely benefit South Korea.
There is a saying that there is a Japanese overseas, just listen to it. People who say this may not know that a certain major country's overseas investment is initially estimated at 8 trillion to 10 trillion U.S. dollars, and that is not just Japan.
The tactics of freezing foreign exchange and confiscating assets that were originally used on Russia were not prepared for Russia at all. What problems can Russia's hundreds of billions of assets solve? It is not enough for the United States to fill the hole.
Who would count overseas investment as their own? Since the Second World War, the United Kingdom has been the largest capital exporter for decades. If you calculate it this way, isn't the United Kingdom immeasurably powerful?
But the fact is that British public opinion has completely followed American public opinion recently. Although there is a reason why the female CEO stuffed her hands with pounds, the fact that people can see is that British public opinion dances with the United States, and the American war is loud.
At one point, the British media said that the United States was invincible, and the United States said to calm down, but the British media said that the outside world was full of Viet Cong.
At least in terms of public opinion, the United Kingdom is now subservient to the United States, but it has not forgotten to rush to develop semiconductors and the Galileo project. Both projects are cooperating with the French.
And taking advantage of Indonesia's changing colors and the opportunity to build aircraft carriers for Australia, it launched a new aircraft carrier. This also enhanced its own united front value. Don't let the United States focus on Britain because of its weakness in the Vietnam War. It's not like there are no easy bullies.
Isn’t that what Latin America and Japan are all about?
After the two senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance left, Permanent Undersecretary of Defense Marks also came. The life of the Cabinet Secretary is so simple and boring.
Magins came here to explain that he had cut the first steel plate for the new aircraft carrier customized for the Australian Navy. The two chatted for a long time on this matter, "Alan, in fact, the Ministry of Defense has always been controversial.
The aircraft that deserves more reliance are anti-ship missiles."
"Huh?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth. This was really a difficult question. He thought about it and said, "For Britain, the aircraft carrier battle group should be more important."
The ideas of the United States and the Soviet Union in sea confrontation are also completely different. The Soviet Union's idea of building an army is based on the arsenal ship idea, while the United States is based on the traditional aircraft carrier battle group idea. Before the Soviet Union disintegrated, we should not think the other way around just because the Soviet Union was the loser of the Cold War.
The Soviet arsenal ship concept was wrong.
These are the old warships in Russia that negate the cutting-edge warships of the Soviet Red Navy at that time.
After several generations of anti-ship missile development, the Soviet Union has increased the range of anti-ship missiles to 550 to 750 kilometers.
What is the combat radius of the American Super Hornet fighter? Seven hundred kilometers! The combat radius of carrier-based aircraft is far worse than that of land-based fighters. When faced with the Soviet Red Navy in the 1970s, the U.S. Navy simply could not defeat you.
Not until I can hit you is the development of Aegis.
With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the arsenal ship faction seems to have been completely defeated, and the advanced productivity aircraft carrier battle group represented by the United States seems to have dominated the world.
However, several countries have successively tested hypersonic missiles. In particular, a certain major country has mounted anti-ship ballistic missiles on warships called destroyers but defined as cruisers by NATO. This has suddenly increased the range of anti-ship missiles to more than 1,000 kilometers, proving that
This debate is not over yet. The carrier-based version of the F35 has a combat radius of just over a thousand kilometers.
So Maxkins asked Alan Wilson how to answer such a question? How did he know which of the two factions was more reasonable? It is much easier to increase the range of the missile, and the missile does not need to consider the return journey.
The difficulty with anti-ship missiles is not knowing where the enemy is. After all, it is more difficult to detect enemy warships than to increase the range over 500 kilometers.
"For Britain, the aircraft carrier battle group is important." Alan Wilson waited until Markins left and recalled what he had just said. There was nothing wrong with it. How much would it cost to replace all the platforms that were finally built? Don't.
It is said that the UK cannot afford to replace it, and neither can the United States.
Pamela Mountbatten went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to attend the completion ceremony of the Land Rover production line. Together with Salazar, she delivered a speech on New Portugal, praising the alliance between Britain and Portugal that had been established as early as the Spanish Armada.
Portugal has responded with great enthusiasm to the completion of the Land Rover automobile production line. The poorest country in Western Europe has finally waited for the conscience of its British ally.
The Land Rover production line is settled in Portugal, which shows that the United Kingdom still has the ability to deal with the weak. The Portuguese are happy, but it is not a big event internationally. In October, the Tokyo Olympics begins. This is also the case for Newfoundland residents.
A day of eager anticipation.
On the same day, Emperor Showa personally attended the opening ceremony to declare the opening of the 18th Olympic Games. The National Stadium, which can accommodate 75,000 spectators, was packed, and the Self-Defense Forces flew jets to depict the five Olympic rings in the sky.
When "Atomic Bomb Boy" Yoshinori Sakai trotted into the venue holding the Olympic torch, the audience stood up and greeted him quietly - this 19-year-old Japanese college student was born in the suburbs of Hiroshima on the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. That was an Asian country
The Olympic Games is held for the first time. It is not only a major event in Asia, but also a major event in Japan.
"Maybe the Japanese are very proud?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was watching TV with her husband at home, said to her husband teasingly, "Can you use Malaya to contain Japan?"
"Then who knows, just like I don't know if Japan will eat nuclear bombs again in the future." Alan Wilson smiled broadly, "We'll see!"
