British civil servant

Singled out Germany and the United States, I am invincible in the world, Alan Wilson, who jumped up and down to promote sanctions against Germany, lingered in the world of luxury cars and enriched his test driving experience.

This time, the United Kingdom included German biopharmaceuticals in the sanctions list, which also shocked the partners of the European Community. Has the empire on which the sun never sets returned in a trance?Even sanctioned Germany, Germany is not Iceland, the two are very different.

Other countries also know that the reason for the sanctions this time is that Germany helped Iran, which led to friction between Britain and Germany.They can only express their opinions that the overall situation is the most important thing, and dare not interpret too much.

Chapter 18 The United States supports Germany

Because of the move to sanction Germany, the support rate of the Eden government has increased. If the Conservative Party has only been in power for half a year, it is estimated that Eden will dissolve the parliament. Using the current support rate to start the general election, fortunately, the House of Commons will establish a bigger Advantage.

From Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke's mouth, Allen Wilson can know that the prime minister is quite happy with the increase in approval rating, and it is correct to confirm the basic concept of tough diplomacy.

"Isn't this good news? Sir." Alan Wilson was a little bit dumbfounded. For a country on a downward trajectory like the UK, it's better to make less trouble.

Norman Brook nodded, and said helplessly, "Maybe the prime minister remembered those great prime ministers."

"Being able to do a good job in the economy is enough to be called a great prime minister, and Prime Minister Attlee's evaluation is also very high." Alan Wilson laughed, "Even if the former prime minister took the Labor Party to visit China and the Soviet Union, it would not be too late. Labour's supporters think it's the right thing to delay."

Eden wants to be a great prime minister?In the current situation, it is impossible to even think about opening up territory. The British territory will only shrink and will not grow any more. The military will not work, and the only feasible option is to find a way in terms of text.

Strictly speaking, Eden is the second prime minister after the war. This position is actually a bit embarrassing. Among the three generations of heroes, the middle one is often the one who pulls the hips.Emperor Jing and Yongzheng among Wen Jingwu and Kang Yongqian belonged to this category. In fact, there were not only Wen Jingwu in the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the level of the two is naturally not low, but nothing is afraid of comparison. The biggest defeat before the Opium War of the Qing Dynasty occurred in the Yongzheng period. Nearly [-] Eight Banners died in battle. This has never happened before.

The same is true for Emperor Han Jing. Although he has the reputation of Wen Jing Zhizhi, this title is mainly earned by his father, Emperor Han Wen.

When evaluating the Ming emperors in ancient times, Emperor Han Wen often cannot avoid it, and Emperor Han Jing usually mentions it by the way with Emperor Han Wen, which is far from the treatment of Emperor Han Wen.

Eden going to be a great prime minister?It is best not to do this, or it may cause losses to Britain.

You must know that because of the Suez Canal War, Aiden has always been ranked last in the post-war selections.

Alan Wilson implicitly stated that it may take a lot of effort from the cabinet secretary to stop the prime minister's impulse.

If it doesn't work, Alan Wilson can only reveal that the prime minister is a drug addict, but thinking that the Conservative Party giant has Macmillan, the prime minister should still be able to save it.

"This is not an era where you can easily start a war." Norman Brook paused when he said this. "I guess you may have to be questioned in the past two days. The Labor Party is worried about the government's diplomatic philosophy."

Norman Brook hopes that Alan Wilson will deal with it carefully. Although the Labor Party lost the election, its fundamentals are still very large. The opposition is in the opposition, and the strength is also real. A strong opposition party.

The Labor Party's questions revolved around the field of diplomacy and were related to sanctions on Germany and Iran.The Labor Party is somewhat worried that Britain's current tough diplomatic philosophy will undermine the unity of the free world.

Undermining the unity of the free world?Why is this again? When Alan Wilson arrived at the House of Commons, he couldn't help but feel a little tired of hearing this rhetoric. The person who asked the question was the former Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson.

The two used to complement each other in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they didn't even think about it at all.

"With regard to the sanctions against Germany and Iran, it is more to express the specific views of the UK on some current situations, rather than dissatisfaction with Germany's role in the European Community. We all believe that Germany is an important part of Europe. The current friction is still cautious. control at the diplomatic level..."

Alan Wilson talks eloquently, and his eyes, which are inseparable from gambling and drugs, sometimes appear to wander, for example, on Mrs. Thatcher, a backbench member.

"We believe that the sanctions imposed on Germany will bring about unforeseen consequences." Harold Wilson went straight to the point after listening to the unhealthy words for a long time, "Can the decision to sanction be terminated?"

"No! Policy continuity is extremely important to any government, and it's the same in the diplomatic field." Alan Wilson retracted his gaze and replied cleanly.

Not to mention that the ban has been promulgated, even if the cabinet wants to unravel it now, Alan Wilson will find a way to stop it through intricate personal connections. He must not let the seal appear in the UK.

Mrs. Thatcher looked at the man who was so energetic and pointing out the country, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.Looking back on the past, some things still cannot be forgotten, but today things have changed.

The person who was questioned by the Conservative Party today was Mrs Thatcher. She withdrew her thoughts and started her own questioning.

After many years, the two met and talked again. It turned out to be in the House of Commons, under the watchful eyes of more than 600 sitting or standing members. There are 420 seven seats in the conference room of the House of Commons, but the actual number of members is 650. , which resulted in more than 200 respected MPs standing.

"She's still nostalgic!" Alan Wilson looked narcissistic. Mrs. Thatcher's question was not sharp. He thought it was his personal charm, and there must be no reason why this government is the Conservative Party.

The inquiry in the British House of Commons is still quite friendly. In order to adjust the atmosphere, the United Kingdom has formulated a set of rules.Let the opposition party and the ruling party discuss issues calmly.

The House of Commons is actually a microcosm of the entire British monarchy.In other countries, the legislative power and the ruling power are separated, and the Supreme Court can have a veto power if it believes that the new legislation is unconstitutional.

But for the British Prime Minister, all legislative and governing powers are concentrated in the Prime Minister alone.

Under the British system, there is no group of lawmakers around the prime minister, and the British Supreme Court does not have a single vote of veto. This has also led to the fact that most of the British political battlefield takes place in the House of Commons.

Just about to think about whether to invite Mrs. Thatcher to a meal or something after the end of the questioning. Mrs. Thatcher's questioning has ended, and Alan Wilson's test has passed smoothly.

The only pity is that after the questioning ended, Alan Wilson failed to achieve his goal of inviting Mrs. Thatcher to dinner.He was rejected, so very sad, and needed the consolation of Princess Margaret, who was not there.

"Alan, the questioning is over, how do you feel?" Seeing his friend reappear, Maggins asked his friend about his experience in the House of Commons with a relaxed expression.

"Are you willing to huddle with more than 600 noisy and smelly creatures?" Alan Wilson asked with a displeased face.

"Of course I don't want to, so I never run for the senator." Maggins replied simply, "So what are the next steps?"

"Try to persuade the Commonwealth countries to stand with the UK on the issue of sanctioning German biopharmaceuticals." Alan Wilson thought for a while, "I don't know if it will be successful, but we have to try, and it's not about letting them follow the UK Declare war on Germany."

"It's so big?" Makins gasped, "If it can drive other countries, it will really be similar to a world war."

The United Kingdom sanctioned German biopharmaceuticals, prohibited German drugs from entering the British market, and announced that it would sanction chemical companies. This caused an uproar in Germany. Many people expressed dissatisfaction with the British move and hoped that the British would explain it.

This also attracted the attention of the United States, which expressed concern about the deterioration of relations between Britain and Germany.

At this time, Alan Wilson has already formulated a visit schedule, hoping to attract more countries to stand with the United Kingdom. In fact, he is planning to take the opportunity to visit his wife and children in Australia.

He has not yet officially set off. The United States, Japan and South Korea have successively expressed their positions, announcing the green light for German biomedicine to enter their domestic markets.

To make such a move at this time, there is no doubt that the United States has expressed its support for Germany.

A series of derivative incidents stemming from the Iranian oil crisis have appeared one after another, making the prospect of the special relationship between Britain and the United States suddenly more delicate, and the United Kingdom and the United States began to wrestle around the field of diplomacy.

"You said that Japan dares to take the lead." Perth, Australia, Pamela Mountbatten met her husband for the first time, and mentioned the recent diplomatic friction between Britain and the United States. At the same time, she also talked about the public opinion in Australia, " Australia has mixed views on this diplomatic spat."

"It's no surprise that Japan follows the United States. The United States is Japan's reborn parent." Allen Wilson lazily said, "Without MacArthur, Japanese women would still go to Southeast Asia to prostitute themselves."

Strictly speaking, none of the reforms initiated by other civilizations in the face of the impact of Europe and the United States was successful, including the Meiji Restoration. The Japanese army in World War II was in Asia, and it was okay to fight some colonial troops.It is not a difficulty at all with the main battlefield Europe.

Japan's industrialization reached World War II, and it could only rely on exporting scrap iron from the United States to survive. The number of aircraft carriers launched by the United Kingdom during the war was ten times that of Japan, not to mention the United States, which has a stronger industry.

The foundation of Japan's economic success is being occupied by the US military, which is Japan's biggest gain in World War II.Gratitude to the United States is common in Japan, and it is only normal for the United States to express its position and Japan and South Korea to follow suit.

"But the United States has expressed its position. Is it meaningful for you to visit around this time?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried. "It's not a big deal to lift the ban if it doesn't work."

"I learned a saying from the East, that long hair is long and short-sighted." Alan Wilson stroked his wife's long hair and said, "We can take advantage of this diplomatic friction to test where there is still British influence. Things are developing To this day, the ban cannot be lifted, otherwise public opinion will turn against the government, and the position of the prime minister will not be secure."

In the past, Shanghai Leopard never affected the United States. Fortunately, the United States has opened up the German pharmaceutical industry to enter the American market in order to support Germany. I hope that the United States will not regret it when the time comes.

Chapter 19 Visit to the Commonwealth of Nations

"You are the most confident man I've ever seen. Although I don't know where this confidence comes from, it's really lovely." Pamela Mountbatten put her arms around her husband's neck. Going to take a rocket.

Alan Wilson's trip is to visit the Commonwealth of Nations countries, colluding with each other, er, reviewing the traditional friendship.But the main thing is to come and see the wife and children being a good father, husband, and brother-in-law...

Out of love for the royal family, he wondered if Princess Margaret's life was too much, anyway, he personally didn't think it was too much.

To persuade Australia and the United Kingdom to take a consistent position, the regional commissioner of Western Australia will convey the latest progress, and Alan Wilson will meet with the other party at the Mountbatten Building.

"Executive Deputy Chief, there is a traffic jam on the road, and I'm not familiar with the road conditions to Mountbatten Building, I'm sorry." Ekberg was sweating on his brow, obviously feeling uneasy about making his immediate boss wait.

Alan Wilson made a grimace at his son, turned his head and nodded gently and asked, "What car is Ekberg driving?"

"Uh, it's a Holden car." Ekberg froze for a moment, not knowing why he faced this question.

Holden Motors is the pride of Oceania's auto industry. In 48, the first self-produced car "215-[-]" on the Australian mainland was driven out of Holden's factory.Holden's logo is a red round relief of a lion rolling a ball. Holden is famous for forging powerful engines, so the red lion is more symbolic.

Australian cars are similar to American cars in that they are large-displacement oil tigers, which are also closely related to the living environment.

But as a British commissioner, driving an Australian car, that's it?

"The guests here are all Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce." Alan Wilson lit a cigar and threw the rest at Eckberg. "You're a Holden, no wonder you get stuck in traffic."

"Okay, you don't have to say a few words." Pamela Mountbatten understood, put down her youngest son and said, "I will give Commissioner Eckberg's car to me. Originally, Luofu was more suitable, but last year Luofu launched a new car. The car model has gained a reputation, and it is too luxurious to be a civil servant's car, so I think it is more appropriate to choose a Jaguar as a means of transportation for the commissioner."

"Our auto industry has problems. Every brand is attacking high-end. There are not many mid-end models, let alone low-end cars. Without a huge volume of models, the British auto industry is very dangerous. How much can we sell for high-end products? What about it?" Alan Wilson said angrily, "If the Imperial Preference System is overthrown, with the strong exchange rate of the British pound, I can't even imagine what kind of sky-high price it will sell for when it is exported."

Without enough models, the British auto industry will definitely not be able to beat Japan and Germany.The reason why the sales of Japanese cars in later generations can overwhelm German cars is also because Honda and Toyota have overwhelmed Germany in terms of the volume of models.

In any country, including Japan, the German Big Three can crush Toyota and Honda's high-end models. Lexus has insufficient production capacity. Listen to the Japanese who lie about cost performance.Playing hunger marketing is not an opponent of the German Big Three.

German cars are Japanese cars with stable voltage in the mid-to-high end, and the high-end cars of German cars are lower than Land Rover Jaguar here in the UK. This is very embarrassing. German cars are only higher-end than Japanese cars. Having been left behind by Japan, what will happen to the car brands in the UK whose positioning is similar to that of Porsche?

However, the success of Japanese cars is not without hidden dangers. At its peak, Japan was also a country where a hundred flowers bloomed, and many industries were in a leading position, at least before the Plaza Accord.

This is not the case in Japan, which was bled by the Plaza Accord. In Japan, which went downhill in the previous life, the entire national economy has already depended on the automobile industry for 30.00%.That is to say, whoever wants to defeat Japan in the automobile industry, Japan, which has lost automobiles and derived materials, parts, and painting industries, will have a sharp drop in per capita income.

Ekberg, who was happy to mention the new car, made a solemn promise with gratitude, "I will try my best to make Australia stand on the side of the United Kingdom. In fact, if it is not against the United States, the Australians are still very brave."

"As much as possible may not be enough. Of course, I don't know the specific situation, but I hope you can do it." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Ike, in fact, it is not bad for you to be a regional commissioner. The Mountbatten Group is here. Can you Give you a lot of convenience."

A slap in the face to a sweet date. What Alan Wilson said is actually not true. There are actually many headquarters of the Mountbatten Group. If you compare it forcibly, it is very similar to the five-capital system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Asian headquarters are in Malaya, East Malaysia Kuching in Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur in West Malaysia each have a headquarters.

The African headquarters is in Northern Rhodesia, the North American headquarters is registered in Newfoundland, but the office is in Montreal, Canada.The headquarters of the Middle East is in Dubai, and of course London, the capital of the United Kingdom, cannot be forgotten.

"Executive Deputy Minister, you wait for my good news, I will arrange a meeting with Australia." Ekberg showed reliability.

Alan Wilson nodded, watched the other party leave, and then picked up the thermos by himself, "Just take this opportunity to see if Australia treats the UK as before."

"Where are you going?" Pamela Mountbatten asked softly, "Why doesn't McMillan come out by himself."

"Can a foreign minister do such a small thing? Jogging around the earth in parallel? Which minister would do this kind of thing." Alan Wilson sighed, "It's not like we are laying around to get everything done, and people come forward to harvest labor fruit."

"Actually, what I want to ask is, are you sure about the diplomatic dispute with the United States this time?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband with burning eyes, obviously wanting a correct answer.

"No. But sometimes victory is failure, and failure is victory. If results can be achieved in Australia, I will visit the United States after visiting New Zealand and Canada. I will persuade the United States and the United Kingdom to adopt a common position and sanction German biopharmaceutical companies." Alan Wilson went around and told his wife what he thought.

"The United States will not agree. The more you go, the greater the chance of failure." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head and said, "I don't know why you are entangled in this matter, to do something that is doomed to fail."

"Failure is victory, victory is failure, my dear, you must have a long-term vision, and you can even go beyond." Alan Wilson smiled and did not answer. On behalf of the United Kingdom, he will ask the United States to look at the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and stand on the side of the United Kingdom to impose sanctions on Germany .

It's okay not to mention this matter, and the United States will give the green light for German drugs to enter the American market.

"If you have time, let's pay attention to the things on the car." Alan Wilson saw his youngest son in a daze, and picked up his wife on his lap with his backhand. Manufacturing and the automobile industry are facing a very dangerous situation. Labor costs must be reduced, and the children who came to Malaya have grown up and can do some technical work. It is good to keep high-end brands in the local area and divide labor in this way cooperate."

The profit of traditional manufacturing industry is not high, and the profit of 5.00% in labor-intensive industries is not bad.The profit of some high-end industries is less than [-]%. It is a good thing to divert the British auto industry. It is also good for the UK to select some auto brands to increase their volume.

There is also a simple way to contain the big manufacturing countries. High-end manufacturing is suppressed, and the origin of raw materials with the lowest cost must be controlled.

It is enough to let the opponent spin on the low-end 5.00% to [-]% profit, and it is enough to deal with the general manufacturing power.

The shipbuilding capacity of the three East Asian countries in later generations is terrifying, right?Together, it is not as profitable as the French LNG carrier patent holder company.

The cost of each 17-cubic LNG ship is about 5.00 million U.S. dollars. GTT’s patent licensing fee is not based on its own research and development costs, but directly charges 1000% of the cost of each ship as the patent licensing fee, which is about $[-] million.

The profit of manufacturing LNG ships is about 5.00% to [-]%. In a better situation, it can still leave [-]% of profits for East Asian shipbuilding companies.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that the transfer of the automobile industry to Malaya will expand the colony, the raw material market will fluctuate a little, and the patent barrier is enough to suppress the manufacturing industry in Malaya, so there is no need for the simple and crude method of garrison.

Not to mention Malaya, even the Soviet Union with terrible production capacity, Alan Wilson is not afraid. With the profits of the Soviet industry, if the Soviet Union had stock trading, it is estimated that the Soviet Union's stock king is vodka, which is the same reason that the liquor industry is sought after .

"I'm waiting for Marina to give me an offer to see how much Land Rover is willing to sell." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, then lowered her voice, "Honey, I'm recovered now."

"It's really good news." Alan Wilson, who received the signal from the rocket, said in a tone of instant understanding.

At the meeting arranged by Ekberg, Alan Wilson explained the current British foreign policy. Regarding Australia’s concerns about the diplomatic friction between the United Kingdom and the United States, he said that he did not deny that there was a certain degree of diplomatic friction, but the main reason is the current hostility Regarding Germany and Iran, don't forget to label Germany and Iran and say something about the ambitions of the Aryans.

As for the deterioration of relations with the United States, Alan Wilson flatly denied it, saying that there is no conflict between the United Kingdom and the United States, and the last stop of his visit this time is to go to Washington.

In the end, considering the emotion that blood is thicker than water, Australia officially announced before Alan Wilson left that it would follow up on the decision to sanction the German biopharmaceutical field and issue a ban on German biopharmaceuticals.Three days later, New Zealand announced follow-up, and before Alan Wilson arrived in Washington, Canada also announced follow-up sanctions.

"At least for now, the Commonwealth still has some effect." Alan Wilson walked out of the airport with a smile on his face, mentally prepared to be disheartened in the United States.

Chapter One Thousand and Twenty

It has to be said that the United States in this era can be regarded as having a profound heritage, and Eisenhower's great construction has given the United States a new look.

The boom period from the postwar period to the present has lived up to its name.The United Kingdom has gone crazy and realized the colonies, and now it is only at the same level as the United States.

In a sense, when Japanese and Korean evaluations rose in the early days, they deeply felt that the consumption power of the United States was unlimited, which is definitely not a lie.It is also because of this that the pound was proud enough to withstand the short-selling crisis before.

After all, Alan Wilson just used the strength of the United States to praise his contribution to the United Kingdom for many years.

So a Princess Margaret often asks him to ride a rocket, and the royal family is not at a loss, he can fully afford it.

Alan Wilson, who was on the last stop of his visit, was not in a hurry to negotiate with the United States immediately, and found his old friend Lana Turner to take him around, so that the other party could show his kindness as a landlord.

"A diplomat, he stayed with me directly when he arrived in the United States. It's just rumors." Lana Turner rolled her almond eyes at the unexpected visitor, but she could tell that she was quite happy.

"You Americans don't care about this kind of news. Didn't Monroe accompany Khrushchev when he came? She is the sexy goddess behind you. How is the relationship between you two?" Alan Wilson was very interested in this question. Keep asking.

"It's okay." Lana Turner said while putting on the clothes she had shed, and after a while she became a radiant star again and lit a flue, "This time it's cheap for you, I just got divorced. Can you do me a favor, if you can."

"We are friends. As long as you open your mouth, I will try my best." Alan Wilson was lying on all fours. The establishment of connections is mutual. After talking about this, can he still refuse?

"My ex-husband, can you help me get rid of him." Lana Turner turned her back to Alan Wilson.

Allen Wilson jumped up and asked in disbelief, "Can divorce turn into this?"
