"Father, you may be more confident than their current rulers." Charlotte said in a dumbfounded voice, "You know, in terms of data, Africa is now even more impressive."
"Africa's data? It's not real. In some aspects, it can be compared. For example, some African countries do not have a large population, so the pressure to eat may not be so great. But a country's problem is not just about food."
Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "You have no idea how different the real situation is from the data in countries that suffer from the industrial scissor gap. And I didn't say that your country can easily get rich, and being rich does not mean being strong. With its vast territory and population, I think
It's easier to be powerful than rich."
"What is the truly rich country in the world? There are many people in Xiangjiang who want to immigrate to Canada." Charlotte recalled her experience in Xiangjiang and asked her father if his answer was correct.
"Canada is higher than Australia in terms of data, but the two countries are actually on the same level, as can be seen from the per capita salary, and if Australia does not experience a population explosion, the upper limit will be higher than Canada." Alan Wilson is very honest.
Answer: Canada, the paradise in the eyes of Hong Kong people, is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface.
Many Hong Kong movies will mention Canada when it comes to immigration. In fact, if it weren't for his supreme authority, Xia Meng would have immigrated to Canada.
If Canada's industry is its own, it can actually use its industrial power to get rid of Australia. But the problem is that Canada's industry is not in its own hands. Is it only Mexico that is being siphoned off by the United States? Canada is also facing this problem.
If he had not considered this issue, he would not have guided Pamela Mountbatten to Australia after the war. Isn't it because Australia is far away from the United States?
Even if Australia has complaints against Britain because of its unhappy experiences in World War II, it is still better than Canada, which borders the United States.
Canada's advantage of being close to Britain in terms of national sentiment cannot overcome the fact that the United States is right next to it.
In this era, Canada's disadvantages are not yet obvious. In the 21st century, Australia has already fallen far behind Canada, and wages in Australia are not far behind those in the United States.
But when it comes to being strong, that's another thing. Australia's population ceiling is there. Although Canada's population ceiling is not high, it is higher than Australia. When living standards are similar, comparisons between countries
The comparison is the total amount.
British soldiers have worse combat skills than American soldiers? Or are British soldiers not as brave as American soldiers? Isn't the difference the scale? In military terms, it's the scale, and the overall difference is the total quantity.
Educating patriotic overseas Chinese to become trendsetters in the new era is Alan Wilson's current top priority. Nowadays, having overseas relations is a popular thing, which was not treated as spies ten years ago. Being an ordinary patriotic overseas Chinese is not the goal, you must be able to do it
A capable patriotic overseas Chinese.
"Don't think it's tiring to start from the basics. Because of the different national conditions, employment issues are definitely the most important. You can put the textile industry in Yangcheng and Shanghai. Remember that the two big river mouths are definitely the focus of development.
In fact, India also wants to do this, but unfortunately the mouth of the Ganges is a country called Bangladesh."
"The profits in basic industries are not high, but some are high. If you can get things done in Saudi Arabia this time, it will be much easier to get started. So why do you want to do labor-intensive industries again?"
Alan Wilson walked back and forth in front of the good old man with his hands behind his back, and the old god said, "For the country, value is not entirely profit. If you can mobilize the population potential in white goods as early as possible to defeat Japan,
It is also good for Britain. Malaya’s difficulty in fighting Japan lies in its population size.”
With the patriotic overseas Chinese laying the front line, naturally a large number of British investors have entered. In fact, they have already entered. He also specially used his contacts to turn Santana into a sub-brand of the British-German joint venture.
When it comes to important arms sales, Charlotte cannot be expected to handle the matter alone. At least a professional team is needed. Fortunately, Alan Wilson still has some connections. He borrowed some financial management talents in Newfoundland and left the administrative aspects to Malaya.
, help Charlotte complete her transformation.
Allen Wilson, who was multitasking, did not forget his job. The coal workers' strike was still going on. The striking workers organized "worker pickets" to block the workers along the way, thus clashing with the police who were protecting the workers at work.
The police arrested eighty workers. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had remained silent since the strike began, appeared on television the same day and loudly praised the police's actions, saying: "They did a great job.
The police are amazing!”
In this way, throughout the subsequent strikes, conflicts between the police and striking workers occurred from time to time, and sometimes there were internal strife or even fights between striking workers and workers who opposed the strike.
As for the internal strife between striking workers and workers who oppose the strike, Alan Wilson is well aware of the composition of the workers who oppose the strike. The strike started in March, and now that the time has come to May, the government is still calm.
Yes, of course, Alan Wilson has long said on behalf of Whitehall that the door to negotiations is always open.
The coal miners' union and the State Coal Industry Bureau began on-again, off-again negotiations, but each negotiation ended in failure.
The strike entered a confrontation stage. At this time, Mrs. Thatcher declared that the government would not interfere with the coal miners' strike, and pointed out that such matters were handled by the Coal Industry Bureau and did not need to come to Downing Street.
Scargill pointed the finger of struggle directly at Mrs. Thatcher, tearing off her mask of behind-the-scenes manipulation. He said: "You won in the Falklands, but you will not win this battle."
Faced with such a tense situation, Mrs. Thatcher showed no signs of concession or softening with her consistent firm stance and tough style. On the contrary, compared with the past, she could only be worse than before.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In response to Scargill's direct attack on herself, Mrs. Thatcher had no room for negotiation or compromise. What she used most was condemnation, confrontation and suppression.
"I think arrest him." Facing the unyielding coal union, Mrs. Thatcher angrily accused her, "This is against the country, don't you think so?"
"I think it is not unreasonable for some newspapers to say that your methods are consistent with those of dictators." Alan Wilson yawned and began to make amends again in the face of Mrs. Thatcher's displeased gaze. "Of course, although the methods are the same, the methods are the same.
In the end, it is different. You are the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. How can the British Empire be the same as those underdeveloped countries? If they adopt the same policies, they are seeking their own death. We are starting from a position of strength. The world has never been fair."
"Are you mocking me? Don't forget, you have been the administrator of a colony, how can you be any more moral than me?" Mrs. Thatcher asked angrily, "You dare to say that you have never used shady means?
?Not once.”
"I didn't want to refute it at all." Alan Wilson chuckled, "Latin American countries always use helicopters to throw opponents into the sea. That's because the ignorant people in the world don't know that I am the inventor of this movement.
When I was the chief executive of Malaya, there were tens of thousands of missing people alone."
"But local citizens are different. What is certain now is that before the end of this life, a large number of British people will become your opponents. Maybe they will dance in front of your grave."
After discussing the ongoing strike, the coal union is indeed known for its strong combat effectiveness. If nothing else, this strike will last for a long time. The two began to discuss the next issue. Since Mrs. Thatcher came to power, the United Kingdom and the United States
Relations between the two countries have begun to heat up, and there will be a British-US summit meeting this year.
Faced with the issues that may be discussed, Alan Wilson took out the U.S. export data for the first few months of this year, put it in front of Mrs. Thatcher and said, "According to the current trend, the U.S. deficit this year may exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars.
I think everyone knows what this means. It is useful for harvesting in Latin America, but it is true that it has little effect. Latin American countries can only provide raw materials, and the problem of industrial competition is also a big problem for the United States."
"You once talked about this issue." Mrs. Thatcher's attitude towards the United States was not as wishful thinking as in her first term. She was willing to discuss this issue with the Cabinet Secretary. "What do you think the United States will do."
"For example, signing a less equitable treaty and allowing other countries to give benefits to the United States in terms of exchange rates. Similar operations were done before and after the collapse of the Breston System." Alan Wilson said calmly, "But the United States may not be willing to do so.
I am a bad person, but I hope other countries will do this voluntarily. This will make the United States look better."
"As long as I am still the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, I will definitely not let the United Kingdom suffer." Mrs. Thatcher spoke righteously, saying that she must defend the interests of the United Kingdom.
"A good idea. If it were other countries, the coup d'etat is already on the way. Fortunately, there are no US troops stationed in the UK. Germany and Japan, for example, have no ability to resist once faced with such demands."
Alan Wilson agreed, "However, the pound is at a high level at this time, and we still have a contract with Saudi Arabia to implement, so we cannot allow the pound exchange rate to fluctuate."
Alan Wilson suggested that the Chancellor of the Exchequer be called in, and when Geoffrey Howe became Foreign Secretary, he was replaced by Lawson.
Lawson was a speechwriter for Macmillan and Home, and later was Heath's right-hand man.
The Supreme Authority knew his daughter, but it cannot be said that he did, but Arnold knew Nigel Lawson, the daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the two had a good relationship.
Lawson agreed with Alan Wilson's view. Obviously, the two had a common understanding of the huge deficit in the United States and hoped that Mrs. Thatcher would handle it carefully at the summit.
