"What's more, the Prime Minister has announced the opening of the general election. This matter should be put on hold for the time being." At this point, Alan Wilson asked Brest, "Does the Prime Minister know the proposal of the European Parliament?"
"Not yet." Brest opened his mouth and then said, "Then I will inform the Prime Minister about this immediately?"
"It's not necessary yet. The Prime Minister is busy with the general election. This may distract the Prime Minister, and it's hard to say what impact it will have on the general election." Alan Wilson waved his hands and said, "Actually, we all know in our hearts that no matter which party you are a supporter of,
, are not interested in the United States of Europe, although this statement was first put forward by Churchill. There are some Europeanists in France, but in fact de Gaulle himself is not necessarily interested in the United States of Europe. He cares more about France.
To lead Europe, not to be on an equal footing with the rest of Europe."
If the United States of Europe really emerged, but it was not led by France, but France was just an ordinary member of it, would France still be so concerned about it? France has one vote, but Hungary does not have one vote?
Those pro-American Eastern European countries in later generations would listen to the tune but not the propaganda. If the French had known this, they would not have taken them in in the first place.
The current European Community system is very good. Both Britain and France maintain relatively strong strength and are not so urgent about integrating Europe to survive in the cracks.
"Then what is the reason for our opposition, and how can we explain it to the United States?" Brest asked, mainly about the latter question. The former is not a big problem. Britain has always been conservative towards European integration.
"Let's just say that France and China and the Soviet Union are hooking up. We can't judge what the French are thinking, so just say that." If foreign affairs are not resolved, the disaster will be diverted to the east. Britain and the Soviet Union will launch cultural exchanges. That is a temporary measure and cannot be used.
I won’t deal with him, but if France does this, France will surrender to the Communist Party.
The European Parliament's recommendations are actually nothing more than Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. As long as France's attitude is clear, these countries can easily handle it.
Due to the critical moment of the general election, this kind of matter itself is not a priority, so it is not necessary to tell the Prime Minister, and even if it is told, Eden may not take it seriously.
Aiden was more concerned about Egyptian reforms than European matters. After all, the Soviet Union was not looking for trouble in Europe. Even West Berlin, the source of trouble, could not get rid of the weeds now.
Egypt's reform has begun with the support of the two queen mothers, the two women who carried Egypt in the face of adversity. There are several aspects, such as promoting the construction of the Aswan Dam and completing the electrification of Egypt. This will increase the recovery of national power.
Suez Canal, the front part is all old slogans, but the following part is about the reform of industrial layout.
But in fact, this is not industrialization. There is a term called import substitution strategy, which is to ban a certain type of foreign products and free up the market to develop its own manufacturing industry.
Gradually replace imported products with domestic products in the domestic market, creating favorable conditions for the development of the domestic industry and realizing industrialization. Also known as the import substitution industrialization policy, it is the product of the inward-looking economic development strategy.
The general approach is for the state to encourage foreign private capital to establish joint ventures or cooperative enterprises in the country by providing preferential treatment in taxation, investment and sales; or to improve the level of industrialization through processing trade such as supplied materials and supplied parts.
The inward-oriented import substitution strategy is a very preliminary industrialization. Industrialization at this stage actually poses no threat to Europe and the United States. Egypt during the Nasser period, Iraq during the Saddam period, and Syria during the old Assad period were all like this.
Route, the upper limit of this route is nothing more than India, Brazil, and Argentina.
Import substitution will stagnate when it reaches a certain upper limit. It is similar to cleaning the house in the second stage of opening the door. In fact, very few countries can do it.
Based on Egypt's basic conditions, with 97% of the land being solid desert, this upper limit will only be lower, so it is not worth making a fuss about. What Whitehall means is that encouraging Egypt to increase its ability to take care of itself will not be detrimental to British interests.
It caused a shock, and it took a lot of spitting to get Aiden to accept this conclusion.
Naturally, British public opinion reported in a positive manner. Now that the two queens and queens in Egypt have been reformed, I have to say that the two queens are still very deceptive. Maybe this is a unique advantage of women. Judging from the feedback from Egyptian people
, Egyptians are actually looking forward to this round of reforms.
Using economic reform to buy time for political reform is also a reasonable approach. As long as Egypt is stable, Britain can feel a little relieved. There is no need to worry about the aorta being cut.
As for the caution of the Egyptian royal family, it is not incomprehensible. The Free Officers Organization, which originated in Egypt, has taken power in Yemen. Yemen is not far from Egypt, which is enough for the Egyptian royal family to be vigilant.
If Alan Wilson guessed correctly, the national development strategy proposed by the Free Officers Organization in Yemen should also be an import substitution strategy. For most countries, there are only a few methods. There will be no kingdom or republic that can use it.
The difference cannot be used.
India is a typical country that implements the import substitution strategy in later generations, and it has been implemented for many years. It has been implemented since the Nehru era. Naturally, it has disadvantages if it is implemented for too long. Various industries under the protection of the Indian state have high technological content.
Even the goods from Southeast Asia cannot be beaten, and the free trade treaty that was negotiated has made a certain big country the dominant country.
Originally, Southeast Asian countries wanted to bring India in to balance the economic aggregate of a certain big country, but India really failed to live up to Southeast Asia's expectations. What about the proposed eastward strategy?
Some of the current problems should naturally be solved after the general election. After get off work, Alan Wilson walked out of Whitehall. Radwich was already waiting next to Gintama. When he saw the boss coming out, he said directly, "Mr. Lin Lianyu, President of the Malayan Chinese Association, today Arrived in London."
Raising his wrist to check the time, Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Arrange a time for Mr. Lin and I to have a chat."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! With his support, Lin Lianyu, a scholar, succeeded in becoming the president of the Malayan Chinese Trade Union after Chen Zhenlu's death. From the perspective of Alan Wilson, using the traitor as a natural
It's more reassuring.
However, the level of traitors generally cannot help much, so it is still necessary to use some people who safeguard the interests of the Chinese to control the MCA.
In this way, it is also easier to maintain a good relationship with a certain big country. The two sides do not need to be friends. After all, a certain big country was one of North Vietnam's backers during the Vietnam War, but there is no need to become enemies.
In order to make profits in Southeast Asia, Britain still needs Malaya to play an important role, especially now that the Netherlands has begun to promote the independence of Kalimantan, but retains Dutch influence on Kalimantan and retains military bases.
Since the independence of Guyana, there have been scenes of a large number of Guyanese fleeing with their money before independence, and these people have flocked to the Netherlands.
The Netherlands does not have the supreme authority of him. It knew that British Kenya would cause a large-scale influx of Indians into the United Kingdom, so it tightened immigration restrictions in advance, and now it still refuses to allow Kenya to become independent.
The influx of 100,000 Guyanese into the Netherlands has taught the Netherlands what colonial sequelae are. Now the Dutch government is imitating the British in previous years to tighten immigration standards for the colonies. On the other hand, it is afraid that the remaining colonies will also be affected. Dutch Gary
The population of Mandan is not large in Southeast Asia, but it is countless times larger than that of Guyana. The Dutch do not want another wave of immigrants.
"Master Zhongtang!" Lin Lianyu greeted him immediately when he saw the arrival of the British supreme authority. As one of the two bridges between the Chinese in Malaya and London, Lin Lianyu was doing his best.
"Mr. Lin, it's not been a long time since we last met." Alan Wilson took the initiative to shake hands with the other person, and then explained his thoughts on economic support for the Chinese in Malaya.
In fact, he and his wife had the same purpose, except that people always have to walk on two legs. Pamela Mountbatten was a businessman, so she wanted to win over the wealthy class, and Alan Wilson was an official, so he wanted to win over most of the Chinese workers.
In the shipbuilding competition with Japan, the United Kingdom had to focus on transforming the comprehensive shipbuilding industry into a specialized shipbuilding industry. The relocated industries had already been determined to be located in Penang.
Nowadays, apart from Vietnam, which is at war, and Indonesia, which will surely become more pro-Soviet as time goes by as the Indonesian Communist Party expands, other places in Southeast Asia are still the territory of the free world. Naturally, Chinese people are common in Southeast Asia, and they are naturally in a state of national sentiment.
Follow a certain big country, but out of class sentiments you should follow Britain.
Alan Wilson believed in the Soviet Union, so he wanted to use class unity to fight against the national sentiments of a certain big country.
"Industrial relocation is never something that can be said. If the Chinese in Penang can accept it, a community of British immigrants will appear, and the British masters will receive higher salaries at the beginning. I am willing to promote this issue." Alan Wilson wrote a check,
"Of course, the next time we formally talk about this matter, I hope that all the top leaders of the MCA will come and have a good talk with the new prime minister who we don't know yet. If Mr. Lin is not busy, he can wait in London until the election is over.
It’s not impossible.”
This general election will begin next month. It is impossible to judge the final result of these elections, but there are some signs. The Welsh and Scottish Labor parties will generally have the upper hand. But in the main battlefield of England, Harold Wilson has completely
With the integration of the Labor Party, this time it can be said that the situation is fierce.
As for the Conservative Party, they have made a lot of diplomatic efforts, and Britain's international presence is still very high. As for the economic aspect, Eden himself is not very concerned about it. This is a fact that voters know.
On March 21, the general election began again, and once again, the entire United Kingdom pretended that the real master of the country decided the future direction. The entire Whitehall once again entered a spectator state, and some unreliable colleagues even opened the door.
It is intolerable to treat this sacred occasion like child's play when the odds are against you.
"The Labor Party declares victory with an advantage of ninety-six seats!" Alan Wilson, like a puppet, saw the news of the Labor Party's victory on TV when his shoulders were occupied by Anna and Pokina.
So surprised, he felt Labor might win, but by almost a hundred seats?
