"In this negotiation, our and the United States' opinions are not completely consistent. The Americans want to talk about the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries first, but we want to wait until the technical blockade is settled before we talk about the merger of the occupied areas." No.
Man Brook paused after saying this, "Actually, all interests are damaged, but the difference is between serious and minor."
"The United States initiated a technological blockade against Eastern Europe, and those countries in Europe suffered the most." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "This easily binds North America and Europe, which is of great benefit to the United States, but in the traditional
On the other hand, our economic ties with Eastern Europe will inevitably be affected, which is equivalent to putting eggs in one basket. It would be okay to say that the two sides have always been harmonious, but we know in our hearts that there is no essential difference between the United States and the Soviet Union when it comes to colonial issues.
Being too dependent on the United States will make it easier for the United States to suppress us."
"So we have to think of a way, otherwise we won't transfer local industries to complete the industrialization of a colony, or at least we won't treat it as an important matter."
Norman Brooke sighed, "The cards in our hand are still too few compared to those of the Americans. If we have to choose between the United States and the Soviet Union, whether we like it or not, we will choose the United States. Of course,
Even if there is a slight possibility, we still hope to rely on ourselves."
Alan Wilson nodded to express his understanding, "Actually, if it is just a technical blockade, there is no problem. I am afraid it will involve a blockade of raw materials. I recently talked with colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and everyone agreed that blockade of resource-rich countries like the Soviet Union would
There is no point in buying raw materials. Don’t we sell Soviet mangoes? And given the current situation in Indonesia, even if we don’t sell them, Indonesia will sell them.”
"If you look at it from a mineral point of view, to be honest, it would be great if the Soviets did not blockade us. Except for some tropical crops, I can't think of anything the Soviet Union lacks. Whether it is oil, minerals or precious minerals, the Soviets are among us.
superior."
If you want to suppress the Soviet Union in iron ore, no country in the world except Australia has this ability. The quality of the Soviet Union's iron ore is not low, also above 50%, which is better than the iron ore in Australia and Brazil.
The quality of the stone is slightly inferior, and it is on the same level as the iron ore resources in the United States.
As for the United Kingdom, the remaining iron ore resources in the United Kingdom are probably similar to those in China, with about 30% of the iron ore remaining. As for the Lorraine iron ore that Germany and France fought to rob, the quality is also 100%
Thirty points. European iron ore is generally of low quality, with the only exception being Swedish iron ore.
Iron, copper, and wood are a major factor in Sweden becoming a developed country. It was the norm at the end of the 19th century to discover resources first and then become a developed country. It is precisely countries rich in resources that can complete the industrial revolution.
Coal and wool are to Britain, Lorraine-Ruhr coal and iron are to Germany and France, Bohemian coal is to Austria-Hungary, and the first rich regions of Europe are all places rich in coal, iron, wood and textile resources. Places without these resources
, even a politically powerful country like Prussia is still an industrially backward region.
Of course, Sweden and the United Kingdom have a good relationship. Historically, after France established the European Community, the United Kingdom also tried to win over Sweden to establish a free trade zone in court, but it was true that it failed.
"Let's talk calmly with the Americans. At least we still have the support of many colonial countries." Norman Brooke finally revealed that Britain was definitely not without allies in this meeting.
Not to mention the UK's unwillingness to completely cut off relations with Eastern European countries, not many European countries are willing. After all, economic ties have lasted for centuries, so how can we just cut them off?
Alan Wilson left the Cabinet Secretary's Office and prepared to leave for France. What was more embarrassing this time was that he had to act with Pamela Mountbatten, and his fiancée had to talk to the French nobles about the unity of the British and French business communities.
The embarrassing part is that if Pamela Mountbatten is not in Europe, Alan Wilson actually wants to visit the headquarters of Woodpecker Pictures, and now he has to make careful plans.
France only abolished the title of nobility, but did not abolish the title of nobility. It is still a force at present, but it is definitely getting weaker and weaker. When the country is in trouble, someone needs to bravely step forward and step on the accelerator.
The British accelerator, Alan Wilson, had already stepped on the accelerator. As an internationalist, he decided to leave the glorious and arduous task of stepping on the accelerator to Pamela Mountbatten.
Finally, after arriving in Paris, Alan Wilson found an opportunity to sneak into the headquarters building of Woodpecker Pictures and come to greet Ingrid Bergman and Hedy Lamarr at the beginning of their careers.
"So you've returned to London to take up a post?" Ingrid Bergman was not in the headquarters building. When she came back, she almost had a fight with Hedy Lamarr when she saw Alan Wilson and was about to take the next step.
It's long overdue.
"A meeting involving many countries is about to be held. If Pamela comes to gather with the French aristocracy, I will come with her." Alan Wilson answered very frankly.
"That Iron Queen?" Hedy Lamarr had seen relevant reports and asked if she was this person.
"That's not wrong!" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, mainly struggling with whether the word "queen" was appropriate.
Pamela Mountbatten's father, General Mountbatten, is Prince Philip's uncle. The Mountbatten family itself is part of the royal family, but this is not important.
The main reason is that the King of Sarawak, Charles Brooke, has been found by Pamela Mountbatten. Who knows when he will go to the Colonial Department to buy the kingdom with half a million pounds for 2.5 times the price of the original sale.
Go back to your own kingdom.
In fact, Alan Wilson didn't know whether Pamela Mountbatten could obtain the legal authority of the Kingdom of Sarawak from Charles Brooke, but if his fiancée was really determined to get this identity, then she really had a chance of success.
The Iron Queen in the words of Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman is entirely because of the Australian iron ore.
Although the two movie queens are working hard and want to start their own careers, they are still in the initial stage and are not very strong in terms of capital. Naturally, there is a hint of envy in their words.
"There are many profitable industries in the world. Even if you are making movies, you can also hire professional managers to run some other industries. Isn't Vivian doing a good job?" Alan Wilson said with some comfort.
I mean, who knows that he is such a person? He is naturally disdainful of women, especially beautiful women.
"I heard that Vivian has a child!" Ingrid Bergman rolled her eyes at the man who was talking nonsense, "How do you sit here so confidently and express your concern for us? Do you still expect us and Vivian?
Like An, I will be your mistress."
"I just hate this word. What's wrong with me?" Alan Wilson looked frustrated. "I just want to maintain a friendly relationship with beautiful women. Is this a mistake? Do you think you are not beautiful enough?"
Ingrid Bergman had a completely new understanding of men's shamelessness today, and she sarcastically said, "Just say you love me with your mouth. The cost of love is too low."
If Pamela Mountbatten was not in the same city, and Alan Wilson had some scruples, he would not have ended the topic so simply today and went straight to the point, "How do you want me to prove it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet!" When Ingrid Bergman saw the serious look on the man's face, she felt guilty for no reason. She pulled Heidi Lamar and said, "I want to measure it with Heidi."
"Don't hold me back, I haven't even thought about it yet." Hedy Lamarr broke away from Ingrid Bergman's request for help and said angrily, "I have gone through a failed marriage, but I haven't thought about it yet.
Be someone else’s mistress.”
"It's all a matter of time, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "You can think about it slowly, you know that I will never refuse any beautiful lady who needs help. You two read this script.
look."
The script about the beautiful legend of Sicily was directly put into the hands of Hedy Lamarr.
"Do you still have the talent to be a screenwriter?" Hedy Lamarr looked suspicious and her tone was full of distrust.
"I usually write cabinet reports for the Prime Minister to read. I don't write much like this." Alan Wilson showed a modest look on his face, "Whether it works or not depends on how you judge."
In the Saint-Germain Castle, a grand cocktail party was being held. Different from the past, this time the host was an Englishman. Pamela Mountbatten attended the party dressed up, shuttled through the cocktail party, and talked about herself with the shareholders of the exploration company.
When it comes to investment experience, it’s like old Versailles.
The aristocratic men and women attending the reception only had envy in their eyes. On the one hand, Pamela Mountbatten discovered the huge reserves of iron ore, which would surely be accompanied by rolling wealth. On the other hand, they were envious of the British aristocracy.
France is already a republic. Although the status of the nobility is recognized, it is already a boundless water and its influence is not as strong as before. Unlike the British nobility, the French nobility was deprived of political power by the king early in the kingdom.
With only economic tax-free privileges, the French nobles no longer have an army or a territory. They can neither protect the king nor themselves. Rather than saying that they are medieval lords, they are more like modern public knowledge.
Molecule, only a clever tongue with a lotus tongue, but no actual authority.
When facing British aristocrats like Pamela Mountbatten, the French aristocratic men and women present pretended to be envious on the surface, but they were really envious on the inside.
