British civil servant

"Pakistan red salt?" Alan Wilson glanced at it, and said the name of this salt without pausing.

"You seem to know everything." Monroe gave Alan Wilson a coquettish look, "Do you want to show off your huge knowledge reserve?"

"That's not true. This kind of salt is [-] times higher than the market price of sea salt. It was mined by Pamela's company in Pakistan." Alan Wilson said in his heart that this is a proper IQ tax. Once the demand is created When it comes out, the value will go up.

After the Japanese economy took off, they like to eat tuna. At present, fishermen in Newfoundland are relying on the sea to eat the sea to meet the needs of small Japanese who are good and small and rich.

The first thousand and 280 chapters of the eventful autumn

Alan Wilson didn't know that at this time, Washington had just finalized the consensus that 17 U.S. troops could initially solve the problem, and he didn't know that Australia's intensive reports on the U.S. military's progress from one victory to another. He was rushing to work on the issue of equal rights for blacks. The influence of the US political landscape.

In the just-concluded U.S. general election, the Republican Party won the southern base that had been in the hands of the Democratic Party since the Civil War began, which is an obvious proof.It proves the influence of ethnic differences on the general election, and judges that it is impossible for all countries to retreat from the situation in the United States.The solution is to keep the immigrants out.

Not to mention the United States, France has done enough. In the textbooks distributed directly to blacks, it is also written that my ancestors are proud Gauls.But in fact France is also unable to assimilate blacks.France's assimilation ability is one of the best in Europe, whether it is assimilating North African or Eastern European immigrants, it is handy.

Even the French can't handle blacks with different skin colors, let alone the UK, which can't even handle Ireland. Looking at the world, it is also the worst level of assimilation ability.

Even if it is a big country, the boasted assimilation ability is useful for its own territory. Another point is that the nomads really have no resistance, and they are almost assimilated by whomever they encounter.Southeast Asia is so close, why didn't it show its praiseworthy assimilation ability, and wrestle with Hinduism and Peace Religion?It's impossible to say a thousand words and ten thousand.

Taking the Irish as an example, he explained the fact that Britain can't even handle Ireland, so don't expect to handle immigrants from other ethnic groups. Alan Wilson is not ashamed.Weaknesses exist in themselves, early recognition is good, don't make it impossible to end in the end, decades later the emperor will soon become the world's right-wing leader, from knowing the king to Le Pen, that is, being reluctantly suppressed by the forces of globalization.

As long as you have eyes, you can see that there are pro-Russian forces of different sizes in white countries, except for a few Eastern European countries next to each other.

Russians are not Europeans, and this kind of Schrodinger's problem is nothing at all. As long as people change their minds, who said that one day the days of the leader of the Holy Alliance of Russia and Russia will not come back?

While Aiden was studying carefully, Alan Wilson made another gorgeous turn and went to the Paleontological Research Association to be criticized. Recently, he was being criticized for the fallacious theory that birds are descendants of dinosaurs.

The fact that birds are part of the descendants of dinosaurs in the 21st century is no stranger to biology lovers, and even jokes in the circle, such as eating white dragons at home today, making a big plate of dragons and so on.But for people of this era, it is still a bit too shocking.

A few hundred years earlier, Alan Wilson might even be the fate of Copernicus and Bruno, but the current communication will not happen that kind of thing, it is even quite friendly, completely academic, the main reason is that this heresy is the British cabinet Secretary-General, if you need help in the future, you have to deal with it.

"The discovery of Archeopteryx is enough to prove the evolution of dinosaurs..." Facing many researchers of paleontology, Alan Wilson insisted on his opinion with the appearance of a crucifixion, "Are non-avian dinosaurs not dinosaurs? This academic For the problem, everyone can communicate in a friendly manner, and don’t label them randomly.”

"The cabinet...Sir Allen is right." As soon as the words fell, several members of the Paleontological Association agreed, and couldn't wait to open their mouths.

If Marshal Mountbatten hadn't been preparing to retire recently, Alan Wilson would have been here to have a good fight with these old stubbornes, but at this time he could only let them go.First go to the Ministry of Defense to discuss the East Mediterranean exercise. In view of the development and growth of the Soviet Red Navy, the pressure on the Mediterranean direction has increased, and the Royal Navy is going to show off its muscles.

This is normal. Of course, this matter has something to do with Whitehall. The Ministry of Defense also has many civilian personnel, not to mention that the military must also deal with Whitehall when it comes to funding.

"I agree that there may be many such confrontations in the future." Alan Wilson thought of the [-] US-Soviet naval confrontation in the Bay of Bengal and the [-] Mediterranean crisis.Ten years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the development of the Soviet Red Navy has also grown stronger.

Under the premise that the UK does not reduce the strength of the Royal Navy and does not shrink from hot waters, maybe the UK will also be involved in this kind of confrontation in the future. For example, Indonesia, which is across the Strait of Malacca, is now a country under the Soviet system. Who said that the Soviet Union will not come? Time to invite Indonesia.It is not a bad thing to quickly show off your muscles while the Soviet Union is still fledgling.

When Mountbatten heard that his son-in-law was in favor, he immediately said, "I'm going to retire soon, and I also want to prove the value of the Royal Navy."

Alan Wilson can understand the idea of ​​the Old Navy, and expressed his approval, "I suggest that it be held off the coast of Israel, and countries will be notified to detour. At the same time, it is also a warning in a certain sense, preventing Arab countries from fighting with Israel, which will help Peace."

"Israel? This?" Marshal Mountbatten looked helplessly at his son-in-law, wondering if his wife was a Jew, and he directly asked the Jewish motherland for trouble.

"Marshal, it is very normal for the country's interests to be put first. It is very normal for military exercises to block the surrounding waters." Alan Wilson said righteously, "Britain wants to maintain its long-term influence in the Persian Gulf. The choice between Israel and the Arab countries In fact, it must not be ambiguous. There is no real pro-British country in the Arab world, and of course there is no real pro-American country. The United States is bound by Israel, and Britain still has room for maneuver in this regard. Once Britain is also bound by Israel It is certain that we and the Arab world can only proceed from the position of strength in the future."

Not to mention ordinary Arab countries, even Saudi Arabia, if they knew that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States would transform into that kind of virtue, and it would definitely not cooperate with the United States to destroy the Soviet Union's oil industry at a loss.

But as long as there is a country that can compare with the United States, the Arabs will not choose to be bullied by the Americans. The Arab world's idea of ​​another cold war is almost beyond words.

During the Cold War, Saudi Arabia was the only thing that the Soviet Union failed to take down. The rest of Syria, Egypt, and Iraq were all taken down at different times.Even Algeria and Libya in North Africa are inclined to the Soviet Union, and Algeria still maintains military relations with Russia in the 21st century.

Once the United Kingdom stands behind Israel like the United States, these countries will alienate the United Kingdom. Even if there is no revolutionary government and the system of a monarchy is still maintained, they will try a neutral route.For the UK, whose national strength is not as good as before, this harm is huge. In many places, it is easy for the UK to withdraw now, but it is difficult to go back.

"If Syria, which is pro-Soviet, is blocked together, no one will say anything." Alan Wilson still hesitated when he saw Mountbatten, and proposed a compromise, "For different countries, I will let the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Take a different interpretation, I have no prejudice against Israel, but this country needs to be deep without depth or population without population. The Arab world can lose a hundred times, but Israel loses once and it will be irreversible. The UK can’t count on this country to maintain its aggressiveness all the time. Besides With the protection of the United States, Israel will not be in danger of destroying the country."

He has said similar things many times. This is not just a problem of the Arabs, but a problem of the entire Church of Peace. In later generations, Iran replaced the Arab countries as the leader of the anti-Israel alliance.Even if Iran is cleaned up again, who said that Turkey will not come forward to be the leader of the Peace Church?

"When I went to the United States, I asked this question, why does Washington protect Israel." Mountbatten made up for this sudden slip of the tongue, "I have no prejudice against Israel."

"Maybe the United States is strong enough to protect it. I don't know!" Alan Wilson remembers that the two parties in the United States have different views on Israel in the 21st century. Beginning with a black president, the United States once had a period of time when it was against Israel. Israel's move to cut off did not care about helping Israel contain Iran, which was even more obvious during the Sleeping King period.

Once the United States has no time to take care of others, the situation in Israel is still dangerous. You must know that it took ten years for the Arabs to change from more than 2 million to [-] million.The population growth far exceeds that of Israel, which is really a disparity that can drown Israel.

Defense Minister Profumo reported to Prime Minister Eden, and after the approval of the cabinet meeting, the exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean was finalized.

Two aircraft carrier battle groups were put into service, and the two latest British Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier battle groups started a half-month military exercise.

The exercise began in January. More than 50 warships of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet started this military exercise. Before the exercise, all parties have been informed that Israel and part of the Syrian waters have been blocked.

This may be Mountbatten's last large-scale military exercise as the chief of defense staff, so Mountbatten himself is very concerned about this, and he left London and went to Cyprus to sit in charge.

The Eastern Mediterranean exercise has not yet ended, and conflicts broke out between India and Pakistan in the Kutch area at the mouth of the Indus River.

Under the firepower of the Pakistani army tanks, the Indian army suffered a lot of casualties and was forced to retreat [-] kilometers eastward.In order not to cause a full-scale war, the top Pakistani government ordered to give up pursuing the Indian army.

Makins, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of National Defense, informed Alan Wilson of the latest situation, and he remembered that this year seems to be the time when the second India-Pakistan war broke out.

"We don't know the specific reasons, but what are these two countries fighting for?" Makins shook his head and said, "They have been content with the status quo for so many years."

"It may be that the Indians were hit head-on in the Himalayas, and now they are underestimated by Pakistan. You know, Maggins, the roof of the world two years ago, the Indians lost too much." Alan Wilson opened his mouth, gave his own opinion.This year is really eventful.

The first thousand and 280 chapters and three balances in South Asia

After the decisive battle at the top of the Himalayas, the change in Pakistan's attitude is only the most obvious of the many direct effects of the war.

In fact, in terms of the two hard indicators of Pakistan’s population and land area, it is normal to not beat India, but as an offshore balance base, even Pakistan, which has lost Bangladesh, is also qualified, not to mention that Bangladesh is still in Pakistan’s hands. The power to fight is no joke.

Now that a certain big country has proved that India's impressiveness is nothing more than a paper tiger, Pakistan's thinking that India is nothing more than that naturally leads to a change in attitude.

Of course, Pakistan, a weaker side, sees Big Brother teaching its opponents, but is eager to try, so there may not be any good fruit to eat.Just like Ukraine thinks that the United States can humiliate Russia, so can I. India's losing temper on the roof of the world does not mean that it will endure being looked down upon by Pakistan.

Since India's independence, nationalism has been very high. Nehru was also coerced by this kind of public opinion, so he refused to give up an inch of ground, thinking that diplomacy could make a certain big country retreat.

Now that the war is over, Indian nationalism has not improved. Pakistan humiliates India at this time. There is a high probability that India will not let it go.

The secretary general of the cabinet had a grimace on his face, and the slight expression on his face surprised Makins, "Alan, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if the Indians have a good opinion. From our point of view, can we carry out an offshore balance?" Alan Wilson took out a cigar and lit it, puffing, "Makins, you know, war It will bring demand, and even if it doesn't, it is the UK's duty to keep the world in balance."

Chaos is a ladder. It is normal for Alan Wilson to think so. If India lives too well after independence, doesn’t that mean that Britain’s colonization of India was wrong?From this point of view, we should also thank a certain big country.

"My friend John, I haven't been back to London for a long time." Alan Wilson blurted out, "Convening a meeting of the Colonial Commissioner, I want to track down the deficit of overseas companies. It's too much, and the transfer payment game is addictive right?"

A lot of colonies that don’t make money have been thrown out, but instead they start not to make money.

The oil pipelines in South Sudan have been repaired. Is there no oil in the pipelines?It also made up for the loss of the Kenyan riots. The Indians who suffered the loss have all returned home. Where is there any loss?

Makins nodded, but did not leave, still looking helplessly at the supreme authority, Alan Wilson first said, "The matter of the strategic bomber has been decided. The current national defense needs of the UK are not suitable for the strategic bomber." The Vulcan bomber is enough. There may be room for some improvement on the prototype, and the new project will not be considered.”

Maggins has come here several times to be a lobbyist for the Air Force, but the military expenditure of the United Kingdom is so much a year, and Alan Wilson has nothing to do.There is already a surplus of two hundred strategic bombers in the UK. Regardless of the existing number and strategic targets, these bombers are completely sufficient.

In fact, with the improvement of missile performance, some short-legged problems of British strategic bombers have been made up for, and air-launched missiles have improved Britain's air power.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at several powerful countries in a few decades. You use Tu95, I use H6, and he uses B52. Everyone has a bright future.

The H-20 is not in a hurry. There are no occasions to use the various black technologies of the Cold War in the United States that are more expensive than gold.Of course, he has no objection to Britain keeping its strategic bombers. Didn't it send out a few squadrons to Australia? Why not do it if it can save costs.

However, Whitehall has professionally assessed the potential of strategic bombers, mainly the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, and believes that further investment is no longer necessary.

This is not like the navy. Because Indonesia has accepted the support of the Soviet Union, the navy now has Australians to pay for it. It is good that the air force can maintain it. Many targets can be replaced by larger and larger fighter jets.

Makins said whatever he said, trying his best to maintain the duties of the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of National Defense, but was overruled by Alan Wilson and joked, "If you are an official of the US Department of Defense, you still have some reasons to persuade me. After all, the strategic bombing of North Vietnam is now It's not Britain, it's America, but we won't be in that war, so there's nothing we can do about it."

The main reason is that the strategic bombers placed in Australia have already met Australia's needs. This is what Australia thinks, and he has nothing to do.

"Well, it seems that the Air Force is destined to be disappointed." Makins smiled wryly, "Who will let the Navy be taken care of? By the way, I heard that British immigrants in Australia are donating money. Your wife will not have anything to do with this matter. Bar?"

"Are you kidding?" Alan Wilson flatly denied, "Pamela is busy with her own business, so she has no time to do such boring things. She has absolutely nothing to do with this matter."

Pamela Mountbatten is indeed busy mining, but the mining site is not Australia, but New Guinea Island. In later generations, New Guinea Island is rich in mineral resources, with large reserves of gold, copper, oil, and natural gas; Guerra, Papua Province, Indonesia The Sberg Gold Mine is one of the largest gold mines in the world. In addition to the reserves of more than 3000 tons of gold mines, there are also huge reserves of copper mines; the Kepamono Oilfield in the Bird of Paradise Peninsula is one of the largest oil fields in Indonesia.

The richest woman got advice from the Secretary-General and found the Panguna Copper-Gold Mine, taking her position as the world's number one mining giant to a higher level.

After all, for such a long time, Alan Wilson has let his wife buy public opinion and let others donate, so he always has to show his sincerity.

Besides, who doesn’t like gold? De Gaulle is going to backstab the United States. The United Kingdom will never do this due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Even if it does, it will be after the French. Naturally, it can only dig a gold mine Earn a little hard money.

Of course, the richest woman has always had equal interests. Don't think that Alan Wilson doesn't know that the son of the Air Force Chief of Staff also has an industry in Australia, and this time he also joined the exploration.

Among the various shares are the Dutch, the Australians, and even the local Aboriginal chiefs. Miners are recruited from the British South Pacific Territory managed by Eder, and mining equipment and daily necessities are provided through the British mainland and Malaya.Every aspect is taken care of.

Alan Wilson is not greedy either. Australia currently produces [-] tons of gold per year, the British Gold Coast [-] tons, and New Guinea [-] tons per year.There are also British troops stationed in Australia, strategic bombers, and the UK is not even stingy with the latest aircraft carrier, and it is generous enough for Australia.

It is also true that Australia has forgotten Churchill's messy operations and gave Britain a chance to bridge its relationship with Australia.

The most important thing is that Malaya's position is on the head of Indonesia. As long as this colony is still held by the British, Australia will not be half-hearted about the British.

Makins was appeased, and Alan Wilson continued to work hard on the review of military expenditures. After a while, the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance came over. If Frank still felt that it was too much, the two still needed to discuss how to use military expenditures to maintain the maximum fighting power.

The Royal Navy cannot be weakened, not because Admiral Mountbatten was born in the Navy, but because the Royal Navy can theoretically be on an equal footing with the US Navy.The first point is that the upgrade of the Royal Navy has been completed, and what needs to be done now is to upgrade the existing warships, such as installing new radars and the like.The U.S. Navy will enter a change cycle from now on, and warships from World War II will enter the retirement stage.

Another point is that the British aircraft carrier is different from the American aircraft carrier. The United States is pursuing an all-nuclear fleet, and the British new aircraft carrier is still conventionally powered.

The overhaul cycle of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is eighteen months. If the aircraft carrier enters the overhaul cycle, the rest period will often be longer than eighteen months, usually up to three years; Eight months is shorter, and eighteen months is actually an average cycle time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, one-third of the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States are responsible for combat missions, one-third are engaged in sea training, and the other one-third are resting in port or entering the factory for maintenance.Of course, during wartime, its training, rest and maintenance cycle will be shortened, and the number of aircraft carriers capable of performing combat missions will increase compared with usual times, and more than half of the aircraft carriers can be put into combat.

When the United States is facing threats, it can use most of its aircraft carriers in combat, and the United Kingdom can do this in peacetime. Whoever makes the all-nuclear fleet really hard to serve, the United States is hard.Later, the U.S. Navy regarded the concept of an all-nuclear fleet as a fart, and except for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines, everything else was cut off.

Therefore, the naval part of the military expenditure must be resolutely retained. The army is not a big problem. The current military expenditure is fought by the navy and the air force.

When the U.S. strategic bombing of North Vietnam had become a normal event, Alan Wilson convened a meeting of colonial commissioners to deduct the profit from these high commissioners who played reinvestment and transfer payments.

"My friend John, do you know that there is a military conflict between India and Pakistan?" Facing the High Commissioner for the Persian Gulf who came back, Alan Wilson asked his friend, "I don't know what the Arab countries think, everyone is a religion, isn't it? Don't they sympathize with Pakistan? Always face the bully India."

"Alan, just say what you think." John was also a commissioner of the country, and he knew that his colleagues didn't hold their farts well, and they definitely wanted to stir up trouble.

"We all know that India's resources are relatively scarce compared with its own population, especially oil." Alan Wilson raised his head in a compassionate tone, "Arab countries can use oil as a weapon. Of course, they can't always use it, but It can be used when the time is right."

The first thousand 280 four chapters only India injured

"Huh? What exactly?" John raised his eyebrows. He still didn't understand what it meant, but he immediately came back to his senses, "Oil embargo?"

"Hmm! It's aimed at India alone." Allen Wilson said to his old friend, "Oil is a weapon, especially for India. Is there a large oil-producing area in India? No. If there is, we won't know ?Oil is a major weakness of India, so once the India-Pakistan war starts, letting Middle Eastern countries use it as a weapon can help Pakistan."

"Oil, that's what the Germans lost at the beginning." John snorted and compared the Germans to India, "Do you think oil is enough to defeat India?"

"If you can defeat us, you won't do it, but it can make India quite uncomfortable. But then again, this is not the weakness of Europe. Compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, Europe has too many resource shortcomings here."

Alan Wilson sighed quietly, Europe, or Western Europe to be precise, is on the same level as India in terms of natural resources. The place that is better than India is that Europe's agricultural conditions are good, at least the rain and heat are in the same season, unlike India. Focus on two months.

To say that there are not many places with good natural conditions in this world, there are good places that favor industry and agriculture, such as the European part of the Soviet Union, a certain big country and the United States.

Comparing the conditions of the agricultural era alone, the United States cannot be ranked. The cold snaps that are harvested every few years in North America make the farming community untenable. Otherwise, Spain would choose North America instead of Central America. Of course, who in the industrial era All admit that the United States is blessed with unique conditions.

Of course, a big country in the industrial age is not bad, and the reserves of various minerals are also considered large, but the quality is not very good.This is no matter what the comparison is, not every country is Australia.

As for Western Europe, the agricultural conditions in Western Europe are good, but because of the ownership of the coal and iron on the German-French border, the two countries are almost out of their minds. Only the poor quality coal and iron in the UK suppresses Western Europe. You know that Western Europe and India are in natural resources. Mountain shoulder to shoulder is by no means a vain reputation.

"You know this, why do you still do this?" John was very surprised. Europe also lacks oil. Of course, Britain does not lack oil. Britain has North Sea oil, but North Sea oil cannot fill the oil gap in Europe. If India does this, if the Arab countries taste the sweetness, will it be used in Europe in the future.

"Actually, for us, the damage is not that big. After the development of the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, the damage to Europe caused by the oil embargo is controllable. But India is something we don't have the conditions for. What's more, if something like this happens, it will provide European countries with Wake up, it is good to realize that oil security is also a good thing.” Alan Wilson told his friends that the reason for doing this is nothing more than using India as a European touchstone.

Alan Wilson is an iron-clad pro-European cabinet secretary, and now the situation is much bigger than before, at least from the fact that Britain will never surrender before the blood of the Indians is drained, and Europe will never surrender.

"Furthermore, the United Kingdom has not withdrawn from the Persian Gulf. We can use this to get European countries to support Britain's permanent presence in the Persian Gulf, at least with understanding." Alan Wilson continued to persuade, "Let them know that Europe cannot be self-sufficient in energy resources and has serious energy security issues. .In that case, they are at least tacitly supporting the British presence in the Persian Gulf."

When playing cards, the timing of playing cards is different, and it will bring different results. The oil crisis was originally the result of the fourth Middle East war because the West supported Israel.At that time, the United States and the United States were hit hard, not to mention Europe.At that time, the British military presence had already withdrawn from the Persian Gulf, so it was naturally unable to exert influence.

It is easy to withdraw things like colonies, but it is even more difficult to go back. If an oil crisis breaks out while Britain is still there, and the tragedy is known to European countries.Not only does Europe have no objection to the British presence in the Persian Gulf, but the British mainland can also recognize this risk, and it is no longer a naive so-called decolonization.

As long as the United Kingdom stays in the Persian Gulf, it will naturally have solutions to many Middle East issues. Whatever the United States wants to do, it must have the cooperation of the United Kingdom.As long as the UK does not cooperate, it will not be possible.

John was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Will the cabinet agree?"

"Does the cabinet dare to make fun of their own approval ratings? They dare not!" Alan Wilson said in a tone that is not joking, "The spontaneous actions of the Arab countries have nothing to do with the United Kingdom. Since it has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, it is important whether the cabinet agrees. Is it?"

Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that at the moment when Britain still has a military presence in the Persian Gulf, a targeted oil crisis is beneficial.Use India's plight to serve Britain.

It can also show the unity among the Peace Churches and make Europe aware of energy issues. There are not many things that can achieve multiple goals at one stroke, and it is completely a win-win outcome.

Now that the United States is busy marching northward, it is unlikely to intervene in the war between India and Pakistan. At this time, when will the United Kingdom not take the initiative to shoulder the important task of the special relationship between Britain and the United States?

The importance of the Persian Gulf has been brought up. Is it necessary to retain Britain's huge ocean-going fleet, and whether it is necessary to maintain the shipbuilding industry? This is also good for the Royal Navy.

It must be emphasized here that the United States has never been a shipbuilding power. The vigorous development of American shipbuilding has a great relationship with the World War. Once the war is over, American shipbuilding will return to its original shape.The largest fleet in the world is still owned by the United Kingdom, and even Japan's fleet is much larger than that of the United States.

The shipbuilding industry in the United States only serves the military field, and it is not a problem that only appeared in the 21st century. It is just that there are still some civilian shipbuilding that are better than nothing, and it does not seem to be the case in later generations.

Even the merchant fleets that travel between North America and Europe are mostly British, and there are very few American merchant fleets.

Of course, it is still much better than later generations. In the 21st century, among the more than 4 ocean-going merchant ships in the world, the number of merchant ships registered in the United States is less than [-].Although the vast majority of the more than $[-] trillion in trade to and from the United States is carried by sea every year, only about one percent of it is registered in the United States.

The powerful U.S. Navy is protecting the route from a certain big country to the United States, preventing this extremely important lifeline for the United States from being threatened by a certain big country.

In the past 20, the U.S. civilian shipbuilding industry only fluctuated by [-] tons a year, only a fraction of the current British shipbuilding industry.With Alan Wilson targeting Japan, the civil shipbuilding competition between Britain and Japan will only have a negative impact on the US shipbuilding industry, which is better than nothing.
