"The current Japanese financial institutions are like a line that has been stretched to the limit, with little flexibility." After returning to the embassy, Alan Wilson said to Ambassador Burgess, "A large amount of money has been invested in subsidies.
It will collapse immediately without U.S. aid."
This is the conclusion that Alan Wilson drew from the information provided by the embassy. Japan's economy should develop slower than in history because it has to overcome the consequences of the loss of Hokkaido.
This conclusion makes Alan Wilson very happy. Finally, there is some good news on the world situation, even if it is just a little bit.
The reason why I say this is because Japan is on the front line against the Soviet Union. Even if the United States pays more costs than the same period in history, it will not let the Japanese government collapse. Therefore, expecting Japan to sink is still a wishful dream.
But this is still a good thing for the UK. Whether it is Japan or the United States behind it, paying more costs is not a bad thing.
"Alan, it seems you already have some ideas." Burgess was very interested and wanted to know what this man who was regarded as a promising person by his colleagues in Whitehall had in mind.
"I don't have any special ideas. I just want Malaya to develop to the same level as Japan." Alan Wilson replied Shiranly, "As a powerful supplement to Britain, this is enough."
During Japan's prosperity in the 1980s, it depends on whether Japan surpassed the UK. In terms of per capita quality of life, Japan has always been at the level of Portugal. The hard work required to achieve similar per capita income is unimaginable in European countries.
If it refers to the national economic strength, it is difficult to compare because the UK has financial advantages, but it can still be said that Japan's national economic strength exceeds that of the UK, but this transcendence is based on the selfless dedication of social animals.
Alan Wilson will understand Japan's development trajectory, because the entire development trajectory of East Asia is the same. Japan's path will be followed by South Korea, and China will follow the same path.
First textile, then steel, then home appliances and shipbuilding, and finally semiconductors. Textile and steel are not difficult. Home appliances are not the UK’s strong point, but what about shipbuilding? At least for now, Britain’s shipbuilding is still no worse than that of the United States.
Moreover, Britain still controls so many colonies, so it can completely develop a plastics industry. Alan Wilson, who spent a few days understanding the current living conditions and business management in Japan, has roughly a bottom line.
This bottom line can be said to be nothing to worry about in Japan. By the time the semiconductor era requires talent support, the next generation of Malaya should have grown up. It depends on whether it can surprise people in terms of education.
Anyway, schools in Malaya also focus on studying hard and making progress every day to see if Lin Lianyu is really worthy of his status as an educator.
He could not reveal these thoughts in front of the Soviet spy. Even when he was preparing to meet Ichiro Hatoyama, he had to hide it from Burgess, so that the matter would not be kept secret and would affect him personally in the future.
Compared with conspirators like him, Vivien Leigh, the major shareholder of United Artists, obviously caused a greater sensation when she inspected actors in the Japanese entertainment industry. Although Vivien Leigh is British, she became famous in the United States for Gone with the Wind, and many Japanese do not
I know Vivien Leigh is British.
Vivien Leigh even visited a US military base, which made Alan Wilson very angry. After the national treasure came back, he kept thinking, "What is a British person doing in a military base? Don't America have actors working in the army?"
"My dear, I just went over to take a look." Vivien Leigh admitted her mistake with a look of grievance. "After all, Britain and the United States are allies. I was invited to visit."
"The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States?" Alan Wilson curled his lips and sneered at this statement. Seeing Vivien Leigh's aggrieved look, he felt soft and said, "I am a little troubled. I shouldn't blame you harshly for political matters."
"It's my lack of consideration. By the way, tomorrow I will meet with the young actor Kaoru Yachigusa to be responsible for overseas promotion. I may have to ask Heidi to help with this matter. She doesn't know what happened. She just showed up. Inge
I don’t know where she went. That company in France is run by Greta.” Vivien Leigh said suddenly and mysteriously, “My dear, have you heard that Greta has a child? I really don’t know.
Who can actually enter her heart?"
"I... don't know!" Alan Wilson's answer had a subtle twist, but immediately became decisive. He thought he had not entered Greta Garbo's heart. The relationship between the two was quite strange.
It's more like a relationship between collaborators, except that a child comes out of the collaboration.
"How strange!" Vivien Leigh muttered in a low voice, causing the man beside her to change the subject on pins and needles, "I also have a guest to meet tomorrow, so I won't accompany you."
"Okay!" Vivien Leigh agreed happily, forgetting that she had never asked Alan Wilson to accompany her to see the actor she wanted to meet.
Compared with the current Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, Ichiro Hatoyama is a bureaucrat with a very profound background, and the influence of the Hatoyama family will continue.
Ichiro Hatoyama's father was Kazuo Hatoyama. He studied at Columbia University in the United States in the early Meiji period and became the Japanese who knew the most about foreign affairs. After completing his studies and returning to Japan, he became the Director of Translation and Interpretation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specializing in handling foreign affairs, similar to the Beiyang Minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Kazuo Hatoyama became the head of the Japanese House of Representatives and a senior Japanese bureaucrat. He was also one of the people who reaped the first wave of dividends from the Meiji Restoration. He is a typical example of someone who excels in learning and becomes an official.
If it weren't for the five-star Emperor MacArthur's beating, Yoshida Shigeru would never be able to compare with Hatoyama Ichiro.
Now that Shigeru Yoshida and Ichiro Hatoyama have parted ways, they just feel that after being prime minister for several years, they already have the capital to compete with the prince, a veteran bureaucrat.
Alan Wilson has a certain impression of the Hatoyama family. Except for Yukio Hatoyama, every generation of politicians in the Hatoyama family can be regarded as representatives who want to take a middle-of-the-road approach in Japan, which has a strong pro-American atmosphere.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for Yoshida Shigeru, although he started late and had no sons, he married his daughter to the Aso family. Aso Taro is a descendant of Yoshida Shigeru.
In the later Liberal Democratic Party, the Hatoyama family belonged to a relatively middle-of-the-road faction, but now one of Hatoyama Ichiro's supporters is named Nobusuke Kishi, and he has a brother named Eisaku Sato, who is now Shigeru Yoshida's right-hand man.
Alan Wilson looked at it this way, and it turned out that Abe's elders were following the path of the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms. Several relatives served different bosses, and he really read the Three Kingdoms into his heart. Abe, a descendant of Nobusuke Kishi, also
Inherited Hatoyama Ichiro's idea of amending Article 9.
Ichiro Hatoyama, who had just made his comeback, waited until Alan Wilson came to visit, out of respect for this relatively peaceful figure who was rare during the Japanese military period.
Alan Wilson decided not to mention the matter of Hokkaido today. He went straight to the point and said that he had just contacted Nanyang and that the repatriation of prisoners of war could no longer be delayed. However, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and Minister of Finance Yuuto Ikeda refused to respond directly.
"I wonder if this government is a zombie? Mr. Hatoyama, I have just learned of your existence. To be honest, the attitude of the UK, the Netherlands, Portugal and Australia is the same. And I don’t have time to talk endlessly.
Japan will handle this matter."
Alan Wilson directly stated his attitude, saying that the date for repatriation has been set, hoping that Hatoyama Ichiro can use this to put pressure on him.
Ichiro Hatoyama, who had just made his comeback, immediately realized after hearing Alan Wilson's words that this was an opportunity. An opportunity to attack Shigeru Yoshida and avenge the other party's ingratitude.
"Mr. Wilson, I apologize for the neglect suffered by Britain and other countries in this matter." Realizing this was an opportunity, Ichiro Hatoyama bowed directly and expressed his apology for this matter, "Those prisoners of war are also
Being deceived by ****, of course they have to return to their own country. However, the attitude of Yoshida Shigeru and Ikeda Yuuto in this matter is irresponsible."
The Japanese have the habit of bowing, and Alan Wilson couldn't refuse. He accepted it without hesitation. At the same time, he gave a voice from some parts of the United States when he met with the U.S. military. The United States hopes that Japan will have basic self-defense.
ability.
Ichiro Hatoyama has always advocated amending Article 9, and now MacArthur, who kicked Ichiro Hatoyama out of the Prime Minister's seat, has returned to the United States in despair. It can be said that the biggest obstacle is gone!
Otherwise, it would not have been such a coincidence that Ichiro Hatoyama came back after MacArthur left Japan and could not recover after five years of recuperation? Emperor Mai recovered right after he left? Even an Englishman, Alan Wilson, could see the fishiness in this.
It was simply that Ichiro Hatoyama sensed an opportunity to make a comeback after MacArthur left.
Now that Alan Wilson has come to the door, it is an operation of taking the initiative to hand over the knife. Shigeru Yoshida is holding on to the position of prime minister and will not let go. Then he will attack the issue of repatriation of prisoners of war this time.
It didn't take long for Alan Wilson and Ichiro Hatoyama to reach a consensus that the repatriation of prisoners of war should begin immediately. Each of them was responsible for a part, and Alan Wilson was responsible for overseas public opinion, allowing Japan to feel the attitude of the enemies of the free world.
Ichiro Hatoyama gathered Japanese parliamentarians who were still loyal to him and used the prisoner of war issue to attack the Yoshida Shigeru cabinet.
For Ichiro Hatoyama, who has just come back but has been poured cold water on by Yoshida Shigeru, the prisoner of war issue can be said to be a good knife. He hit it off with Alan Wilson.
In a good mood, Ichiro Hatoyama even wanted to stay at Allen Wilson for a meal and experience Japanese culture.
Alan Wilson declined. In the minds of Chinese netizens in the 21st century, so-called Japanese culture is equivalent to *****.
Various reproductive diseases were rampant among the U.S. military, and even MacArthur was affected. He thought it was better to be careful.
