"Even at this time, you still don't have a good impression of the Japanese." Pamela Mountbatten bent down and whispered, "Is it because you were driven away from Xiangjiang to India?"
Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband did not originally work in India, but fled to India, which led to the following series of events.
"Doesn't the marshal also hate Japan?" Alan Wilson said to himself, don't just talk about me, isn't your father, the British military chief, the same? But this topic was boring to delve into, so he asked how the Portuguese car production line was and whether he could get it.
Welcome.
After receiving satisfactory feedback from his wife, Alan Wilson said, "We must consider the added value assessment of the British industry. If Land Rover is a British industry, but it creates value for other countries, then it will not have a leading role in the British industry."
Big companies must be careful about this. The core of the industrial chain must be local."
Take Peak Japan as an example. There is almost nothing in Japan. Except for forestry, local resources can only serve as specimens. In fact, there is only one way in front of Japan. It is to become a manufacturing powerhouse. In fact, the same is true for South Korea. A certain big country also has
You can rely on local resources to provide a buffer. Neither Japan nor South Korea can do this.
In Japan's peak period, more than 95% of the added value was in Japan's domestic industries. Exports worth 100 US dollars and more than 90 US dollars of parts and components were kept in Japan.
Manufacturing is vital to Japan. The root cause of the depreciation of the yen is Japan's manufacturing industry. Only the automobile industry is left. The previous home appliances, displays, shipbuilding, and even steel have all collapsed.
The remaining automobile industry is struggling to survive alone. Even many of the parts used in automobiles are no longer made in Japan, and the added value left to Japan has become 80%.
Don't underestimate the difference of fifteen dollars. The significance of these fifteen dollars determines whether Japan can maintain its import and export balance.
Very early in Alan Wilson's last life, Japan was called the trumpet United States. At that time, not to mention that a certain major country dared to refute the United States based on its strength positioning. Even when facing Japan, it felt that the other side was unattainable. Many countries at the beginning of the 21st century
Among the ten years of online novels, Japan has a very high presence.
Then, with the passage of time, the impression of Japan has changed from the small United States to the large South Korea. Even Internet writers are not willing to regard this country as a villain.
Based on the foundations of Japan and South Korea, once the manufacturing industry cannot survive, the two countries may decline at a rate beyond people's imagination. Is the only way to surpass Japan and South Korea is growth? Or can we find ways to make the other country fall?
With the current military strength of the United Kingdom, it is definitely not comparable to the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is not a problem to pretend to be the big brother in front of Portugal. The United Kingdom needs Portugal's influence in Africa to help enter the independent countries in North Africa and the Portuguese colonies in South Africa.
, it is not impossible to provide some added value for this purpose.
With such a small population in Portugal, there is no possibility of backlash, but it cannot allow too much benefit. The distribution of Range Rover in mainland China, Discovery in Portugal, and Aurora in Malaya cannot be changed.
The Middle East and North Africa are also places where Japanese pickup trucks have proliferated in later generations. Now Pamela Mountbatten Rescue has taken advantage of Portugal's geographical advantage to enter and block the Japanese car market in the local area in advance.
As for American cars, there is no need to worry for the time being. Various American cars are firmly moving towards the goal of full-size SUVs. Larger size and higher horsepower are the goals that American cars are chasing.
If this were not the case, American cars would not have been completely defeated by the Japanese and stolen when they were bigger and stronger.
A full-size SUV is an SUV with a length of more than five meters and a wheelbase of more than three meters. The Range Rover is considered small and exquisite, and its main market is the United States.
With a population of 50 million in the UK, it only needs to have a place in some industries, but it does not necessarily have to trample Toyota and Volkswagen under its feet.
The cabinet secretary has chosen semiconductors, high-end automobiles and special shipbuilding for the UK. Together with North Sea oil and the financial industry, plus the currently considerable military industry including aerospace, it is enough to take care of the UK's population.
By the way, there is also nuclear power. Pamela Mountbatten arrived in Portugal this time and also negotiated a nuclear power export project for the UK. Portugal is poor and unable to think about nuclear power as inferior to thermal power like Australia does. Britain is willing to provide help.
, the Salazar government readily agreed to use British nuclear power technology to solve the country's energy problems.
In the past few months, due to the Tonkin Gulf Incident and the sinking of a U.S. aircraft carrier by North Vietnamese frogmen, the United States was not unresponsive. It sent an additional 7,000 troops to South Vietnam to stabilize the situation. The number of U.S. troops in South Vietnam reached 23,000.
scale, but because the election was approaching, Lyndon Johnson did not want to go too far. Bigger actions would not occur until he was re-elected.
"It would be great if China and the Soviet Union split." When discussing the situation in Southeast Asia this time, Defense Minister Profumo felt that South Vietnam was too close to the Bamboo Curtain, and if there was a big war, he wanted to bomb it to stop it.
The continuous support from North Vietnam was too difficult.
"Minister, there may be nothing we can do in the short term." Alan Wilson lied without a blushing face. Why couldn't he help it? He and Xia Meng had already given birth to a child, and he was ready to return to the Far East as high as possible. At that time, the two of them had a son.
As an adult, you can shoulder greater hopes.
Through the channels of the Five Eyes Alliance, Alan Wilson knew that Washington was not unaware of the current differences within the Soviet bloc.
However, the professional opinions drawn from the analysis of many experts have come to the most professional conclusion. It is impossible for these two countries to completely fall out, just like Britain and France will never really fall out with the United States no matter how much they quarrel.
It is impossible for any rational decision-maker to do such an irrational thing. If you think about it, if you fall out, it will be all bad. How can something happen without any benefit?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Alan Wilson learned about American professionals, he came up with the most decisive conclusion and immediately apologized for his ignorance. Otherwise, how could the United States be free?
The world leader is right, how can there be a falling out? It is absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.
It’s just that our American counterparts forgot that the systems were different, and the Soviet system inevitably led to a period of irrationality.
The Slavs, the main ethnic group of the Soviet Union, are famous for their diode thinking. The predecessor of the Russian Empire was a famous expansionist, but for the sake of the Orthodox brothers, they did not hesitate to launch Russian-Turkish wars, for Serbia, they did not hesitate to join the world war, and in order to relieve France
The disadvantage was that they launched an attack on Germany without being prepared for mobilization.
While the Soviet Union was hostile to the United States and suppressed Europe, it continued to help other nations establish industrial systems and spent tens of billions to support the construction of allies. This all happened during the same period.
The big brother thinks that I have given you enough concessions, but the little brother still feels dissatisfied. This has led to some things happening that neither country would allow to happen under normal circumstances.
In the 21st century, a certain major country has obviously learned its lesson. In fact, diode thinking is not difficult to deal with.
Russia was originally very pro-Western, but the process of NATO's eastward expansion was accompanied by trampling on Russia's dignity. Not to mention a few nice words to appease it, it was even unwilling to write a blank check, which led to Russia's once-powerful pro-Western ideology.
Turn off the flame completely.
Isn’t the Belt and Road Initiative expanding Russia’s traditional sphere of influence? In fact, it is no different in nature from NATO’s eastward expansion, and Russia itself is very wary of it.
But a certain big country has been chanting sutras with Russia. This is a good thing and a good thing for both countries. It won't work once, not for a year, or even for ten years. When compared with the behavior of Europe, Russia will accept it.
Since the Slavs want to save face, it is enough for a big country to take second place in tank competitions. Anyway, the industries of the two countries do not conflict. They just want to save face, and it does not need to go to the level of favor. There is nothing that cannot be discussed.
While the two were having a conversation, on the second day of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, and while the whole world was paying attention and talking about the Tokyo Olympics, the first secretary of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev, was recuperating in Sochi on the Black Sea. According to his report at the Central Committee
Member, it was promised at the meeting that he will retire in two years' time, that is, in 1966, and he will also elect an official successor.
However, in Khrushchev's mind, even though Brezhnev was in the position of second secretary, he still felt that he was not so satisfied. Even when he was recuperating, Khrushchev was still thinking about this matter.
Moscow at this time was not as warm as the suitable dark shore. The two figures walked side by side. Shelepin first asked, "Are you ready? Will Sherest agree? Once Ukraine expresses its firm support, will we
It might be successful."
"According to Khrushchev, even though he is fifty-five years old, he is still an old man." Brezhnev spoke impeccably. "Of course age is not a problem, Schulich. The key is that he wants to drive away experienced cadres.
, he has the final say on all major national affairs. But in fact, he has made many mistakes in recent years, and while making mistakes, he also acted arbitrarily, and no one can stop him."
Shelepin nodded in approval, while Brezhnev was still minding his own business and said, "Our colleagues all have great hopes for us and correctly understand our difficulties, Suslov, Podgorny
, Shelest all understands the root cause of the current problems our motherland is encountering."
Shelepin was not very old, and Brezhnev knew that the age issue would not touch this highly trusted senior cadre. On the one hand, Brezhnev did not hide the fact that his age caused panic to many people. On the other hand, he emphasized
He understood the mistakes made by Khrushchev and took the initiative to seek Shelepin's opinion, "Schulich, what do you think we should do now?"
"If we are well prepared and we are confident, we should ask the First Secretary to return to Moscow and formally express our views." Sheleping did not doubt that he was there and stated that he would make a decisive decision.
