Trade protectionism, ignoring the support of property rights, currency manipulation and slave labor are all very familiar crimes. In addition to slave labor, it can be said that they can all be applied to Japan. Does Japan dare to deny it?
Japan does implement a trade protection policy, and at the same time it also ignores on a large scale the support for property rights to prevent European and American products. As for currency manipulation, both Japan and Germany have long suppressed their exchange rates to promote exports with the acquiescence of the United States.
As for slave labor, it may be more accurate to change it to forced labor. These so-called crimes are not unique to Japan. Late-developing countries have similar problems to varying degrees. However, now that the world war has ended twenty-five years ago, Japan has already
If it hadn't been so devastated at first, it would have been unreasonable to do this.
Wick has presented a series of evidence on TV. Food and clothing are trivial, but automotive appliances are worth mentioning. Many classic models can find their twin brothers among Japanese cars. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche are no exception. There are actually
All Land Rover models were brought out by Wick for comparison.
Every time Wick paused in his speech, the venue burst into thunderous applause. Of course, Alan Wilson believed that American television would definitely focus on the copied American brands.
"We cannot continue like this. We have tolerated Japan's bowing and apologizing for many years, but this is not a problem that can be solved by bowing and apologizing. The tolerance of the UK and other countries is limited."
Wicker sternly criticized, "Today, Japan has participated in the ten-nation summit and participated in the financial summit as a country with strong economic strength. It can no longer continue to base itself on the world with these negative impressions."
"Not bad!" Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction. In a few days, he can hand over the position of Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a few years, there will be no colonies on the British books, and diplomatic work will not need to be held in hand at all times. Okay.
Xia Mengdao, "What do you think of my subordinates?"
"Not as good as you." Xia Meng said obediently, satisfying her vanity of supreme authority, "Why do we expend so much effort to deal with Japan?"
"The resources in the world are limited, and countries are winner-take-all. Japan's development and growth will only increase the power of the United States. Japan is not qualified to impose conditions." Alan Wilson explained coldly, "Anymore
Let’s see what happens to Japan in ten years.”
It's not that he has any prejudice against Japan. Although the Japanese army went south in World War II, Britain did lose its authority, but that is all in the past. Alan Wilson is definitely not targeting Japan. If the national strength did not allow it, he would even want to do it to the United States and the Soviet Union.
Already.
However, Japan's good days will not last long. As long as Japan makes the United States feel pain in semiconductors, that is when the United States will really start to deal with Japan seriously.
Considering that the power retained by Britain and France is far greater than in history, and the threat of the Soviet Union in Europe prevents the United States from arbitrarily touching Europe, the arrival of the Plaza Accord will only be brought forward rather than delayed.
In Alan Wilson's time, many people didn't actually know how strong Japan's economy had been. He still remembers the Japanese Isuzus running all over the Forestry Bureau, and the four Sino-Japanese joint ventures on the outer wall of the latest processing plant office building.
Well, looking back now, the Sino-Japanese joint venture processing plant has been bankrupt for 20 years, and I don’t know how many times it has changed hands.
The Plaza Accord can be regarded as the most powerful blow the United States has made in peacetime. It almost shattered the ambitions of the entire Japanese economic community. Without this agreement, what would have been lost in the past thirty years?
The TV screen switched to the expression of the Japanese Foreign Minister. Alan Wilson hugged Xia Meng and smiled, "Look, the Japanese are also embarrassed sometimes, but don't be deceived by their superficial skills. Let me tell you, the most beautiful person in the world is
The country that I hope your country will never recover from is them."
"Aren't you happy that the country of yellow people is fighting within itself?" Xia Meng pinched the man's arm. She would have never dared to do so before, but now, Xia Meng has finally realized the value of her united front.
"Can a country with nearly 10 million square kilometers and a population of 800 million have some potential? Huh?" Alan Wilson pinched Xia Meng's chin and shook his head slightly, "You have been abroad for too long, and you may have lost a little energy.
Anger, with the US troops stationed in Japan and South Korea, what you said about not fighting among ourselves is simply impossible."
In terms of industrial ecological niche, if a major country cannot crush Japan and South Korea, how can it pose a threat to Europe and the United States? But if it wants to crush Japan and South Korea, Japan and South Korea will of course cling to the thigh of the United States. How can this logical closed loop be broken?
At this meeting, Wick, who was attending on his own behalf, also had to operate behind the scenes with the Americans in order to make the United States realize the threat of Japan. The theoretical basis for this was naturally done by Alan Wilson himself, and Wick was just
It is the executor. The basis is that Japan is driving down the profits of European and American countries. Because Japan is here, everyone's life is not good.
The Japanese economic threat theory has already appeared in the United States in this era, but Alan Wilson has more specific words to apply to Japan, such as the crusher of developed countries.
After half a month, the Group of Ten countries signed the Smithsonian Agreement, a full year earlier than in history. Among the proposals proposed by the United Kingdom and supported by France, it also passed a resolution condemning trade protectionism, ignoring support for property rights, currency manipulation, and
The content of slave labor.
These contents may not be useful for the time being, but as long as the United States one day feels that it needs Japan to make sacrifices, this is an excuse that can be used at any time. This can also be regarded as Britain's help to the United States from the standpoint of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
Mr. Xin of the countries that signed the agreement breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had only been a few months, from the time Nixon announced that he would no longer convert gold to the end of the year, there was a lot of chaos in the import and export of various countries.
It can be expected that this year's economic growth will not be very good. However, since there is a reason, the blame can be shifted to the United States. The White House gave professional advice, and Harold Wilson directly adopted it. During the inquiry in the House of Commons, he vaguely stated
It was pointed out that economic growth is not as good as expected, which is entirely the fault of the United States, and the government is already thinking of ways.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What a good thing the Prime Minister said, that is the problem of the United States. If it were not for the fact that the United States could not sustain the default, the British economic growth would definitely be very good this year. If the economic growth next year is not
What should I do?
Then it depends on what will happen in the world next year, which will allow the UK to shirk its responsibility.
Alan Wilson accompanied the Secretary of Defense to see the Typhoon fighter jet again, and Dennis Healy also got into the cockpit. After all, the arc-shaped canopy will cause image distortion, which is an effect similar to a convex lens. In the early days,
All fighter planes rely on cannons to fight. If the field of view is distorted, it will be very troublesome to fight. Therefore, the mirror directly in front of the cabin must be flat, and to integrate with the curved canopy at the back, the mirrors on both sides must be
There is a transition, thus forming a three-piece windshield.
The Spey engine is not a problem. Since it is a new fighter, some deficiencies can be forgiven. I believe no one will think that the F15 first-generation aircraft in the 1970s is the same as the F15 in 2020, even if it is not as good as expected.
They are both called f15.
In fact, many weapons have not changed much in appearance, that is, their appearance has not changed, but their insides have been completely changed. All weapons have been continuously modified to achieve the maximum design standards.
Judging from Dennis Healy's reaction, Alan Wilson felt that the new members of the Royal Air Force would soon receive surprising orders.
While here and the Secretary of Defense are making contributions to the British defense, the situation in distant South Asia has changed again. The Bangladeshis cannot accept the military overturning the election results. They are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan and cannot
Always accept the status of being exploited, even if it is the excuse of taking the overall situation into consideration or sharing the same religion.
It has been more than 20 years since independence. Even religious fanaticism will ebb. If we can endure it until today, Bangladeshis can be considered worthy of Pakistan as a country.
The slogan of East Pakistan's autonomy appeared for the first time in the center of Dhaka. Bangladeshis believed that their demands were reasonable and did not want independence. They just hoped that West Pakistan would face up to its demands.
The Pakistani military did indeed face this demand. Yahya Khan immediately ordered the Bihar military police in Dhaka to suppress the Bengalis who knew nothing about power, and at the same time used the air force to transport troops to East Pakistan. The conflict broke out, and
Extremely bloody.
As for Rehman, the leader of the Pakistan Awami League, the largest party in East Pakistan, he was naturally broken into by government troops and thrown directly into prison. Immediately, Yahya Khan declared his party illegal.
Activities are prohibited from now on.
As a reporter who loves money and is adventurous, Marlowe also abides by the spirit of the contract. He knows what his employer wants to see and works hard for it.
After the military took action, he knew that this was the big news that the country needed, so he took action. The refugee camp was located fifty kilometers west of Dhaka. There were three large temporary camps along the road, each with an area of nearly an area.
There are twenty or thirty tents covering an area of 100 square meters, and hundreds of refugees are queuing up to go through registration procedures.
Several Bangladeshis were washing their feet around a makeshift tap. At the door of a grass-green tent, four children were eating a kind of white flour pancake. The women were wrapped tightly in black gauze, and reporters were not allowed to get close to them.
tent.
Marlowe walked respectfully to a police car, took out a pound and asked a police officer what he could photograph. The officer said in slow English: "Refugees in the camp. But don't photograph the police in it!"
If he was told what would happen if the refugees refused to be photographed and they attacked him, the police officer said expressionlessly: "I think you know how to deal with it."
He immediately took the time to take photos carefully, trying his best to avoid photographing the police or irritating the nervous refugees. He tried to smile at everyone and quickly judged whether the subject would allow the shutter to be pressed.
