Chapter 135: The Future Prime Minister's Inspection
Industrial transfer is not some untouchable secret, in fact, it has already appeared once, in the nineteenth century the United States was the sweatshop of Europe, and the extent of British capital infiltration into the United States is beyond the reach of any later generation and any time period.
Not only British capital, but also capital from any European country can be found in the United States, and it was the First World War that freed the United States from the control of foreign capital.
The next time, which will begin in the next few years, is that Japan will take over the global manufacturing industry from the United States.
Before World War II, Japan was already one of the world's top ten industrial powers, and of course, this top ten was only at the level of Czechoslovakia and Italy, which was far from the European powers.
After the end of World War II, Japan was monopolized by the United States as a defeated country, and many of Japan's industrial facilities were destroyed in the war.
Now that Japan may be cut off by the Soviet Union, will the United States not carry out industrial transfer, Alan Wilson believes that it will not, although the area of Hokkaido is not small, but the population is too small. The impact on the rest of Japan, which is controlled by the United States, is completely inadequate.
If the United States can do this, then so can Europe. Anyway, the United States only started to do this in the fifties, and by that time the European countries should have already recovered, or even earlier, to carry out industrial transfer ahead of the Americans.
British Malaya had a much smaller population than Japan, and Europe was completely affordable and could not be hollowed out.
In fact, it was not Alan Wilson who chose British Malaya, but the London government who chose British Malaya. Almost at the same time as the independence of British India, the Labour government mobilized 50,000 British troops to wield butcher knives in British Malaya, and the British army also participated in the Dutch-Indian War.
Of course, what interests Harold Wilson the most is the metaphor of a million shirts on a plane. "Allen, as you said, the times are progressing, technology is developing, but industries like the textile industry can support a large number of jobs. ”
"Congressional Secretary, the added value of the textile industry is too limited. We can't sell a shirt for a hundred pounds, can we? Who will buy it! Alan Wilson's face was full of helplessness, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
In fact, it is not that no country can do it, and it is enough to add luxury colors. But it just so happens that Britain can't do it, and the countries that Europe can do it are France and Italy, the French are famous, and Italy has the addition of the Roman Empire.
Although some Asian countries are very fond of proving that Italy and the Roman Empire are not related, Alan Wilson knows that European countries recognize Italy's history, and there is no market for the words of the Germanic barbarians.
"It was a pleasure to chat with you, and I believe that this trip to the British occupied territory will be a good experience." Harold Wilson found that the young civil servant in front of him seemed to be very talkative.
There is no rejection of him! How could Harold Wilson, who used to be a civil servant, not understand the cold reception he received when he came to Hanover today? Just a few months ago, I was part of the civil service community.
Now on the opposite side of the legislature, these civil servants in the British occupation want to give themselves a dismount.
Alan Wilson, who naturally came to receive him, showed friendliness, which made Harold Wilson very pleased.
In the afternoon, Harold Wilson met with the members of the British Occupation Trade Council and attended a boring and very boring meeting that Harold Wilson did not realize when he was a civil servant that this kind of meeting was so boring.
With a different identity, the meetings he used to attend have also changed in the eyes of Harold Wilson.
After the meeting, Harold Wilson made a decision in his mind to go to the British Occupation Zone to see for himself what the current state of the British Occupation Zone was, and then to tell the Prime Minister when he returned.
"Mr. Harold is also a doer." After listening to this, Alan Wilson said with admiration on his face, "This is so admirable, or do we say that Labour politicians like to be close to the people." ”
Close to the people! Harold Wilson liked the term so much that he quickly changed his mindset when he became a politician, and he liked to tie everything to the ballot, although the Germans in the British-occupied zone did not have the right to vote in Britain. But it can still be seen as a good workout opportunity.
"Mainly manifested in the lack of ill will of the British Empire towards the Germans." Harold Wilson, despite his own future, opened his mouth to put the national image of the British Empire first.
"Yes, this may be an opportunity for reconciliation. We need to create an image that is friendly and not detached from the people at the bottom. Alan Wilson also followed Harold Wilson's words, "We need to make Germans understand that British parliamentarians are actually the same as ordinary Germans, so that we can create a sense of closeness." ”
This is similar to the establishment of later generations, and celebrities are like a positive and likable image created by the public. The character design for the star is equivalent to the packaging for the product, which is more convenient to attract fans. The common ones are foodie characters, upright people, and school bully people...
In fact, if you think about it carefully, politicians who are dealing with elections anytime and anywhere are similar to the needs of acting stars.
It's all the same hypocrisy, but on the surface, they have to behave against their will to do things that don't conform to themselves in order to win favor.
Harold Wilson nodded approvingly, very satisfied with Alan Wilson's account, although there was a slight unpleasantness in coming to the British occupation zone, but now it seems that it is not completely without gain.
In fact, the respected ruling party member is ready to make a speech, although it may not be useful, but if it is used, it can be used as an experience for him when he has just entered the political arena.
It is precisely because he has just entered the political arena that Harold Wilson still has a lot to learn now, and speech is one of them.
Because of his lack of experience, Harold Wilson also needs time to prepare, refining is the hardest, and for the fourth-order tactics of politicians' speeches, it is nothing more than these four steps.
The first stage of the speech: be able to speak; Stage 2: Make the short talk long. Indicate that the knowledge reserve is sufficient; Stage 3: Make the long talk short. Explain that the point is grasped; The fourth stage: if you want to be long, if you want to be short, you can be short, and you can completely control the field. It shows that the law has been mastered and can be targeted to speak, and the effect can be the best.
Harold Wilson, who is only twenty-nine, and Alan Wilson, who is nominally in his twenties, are both preparing for the parliamentary secretary's trip to the British occupation zone, but in different places.
To be sure, Alan Wilson had no experience in this area, and he knew that Harold Wilson didn't. Both Wilson duos are in the middle of the rookie stage.
The next day, the two Wilson began their journey to the British Occupation Zone, simply from one ruin to another, when Harold Wilson was in China, he only heard about the tragic situation in the British Occupation Zone, and in Harold Wilson's eyes, it should be what London was like when it was bombed by Germany.
But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that it was completely different, three months had passed since the war, and it was still a ruin as far as the eye could see, and from time to time people could dig up the corpses inside from the ruins.
However, it is not without gratification, for example, in the report of the British-occupied Territories Trade Commission, which mentions the energy of German women in reconstruction, it is not a lie at all.
The astonishing degree of German diligence after linking rations to labor has now been confirmed by Harold Wilson.
From Hanover to Hamburg, from Cologne to Essen, Harold Wilson, who had entered the state of a politician, burst out, and his physical strength was so shocking that Alan Wilson even had the illusion that he was accompanying the other party in the general election.
It is completely unnecessary, and even running two cities a day is more diligent than Alan Wilson himself showed some time ago in the Ruhr area, and from this moment on, he has a new understanding of what politicians can do for the sake of popularity.
In late August, Alan Wilson and Harold Wilson arrived at the last stop of the plan, the city of Bonn, which finally had a bit of an urban appearance, at least compared to the other Ruhr districts.
Isabella Pokina, the head of the German Women's Work and Labor Bureau in Bonn, welcomed the arrival of Hadro Wilson with the women organized by the Labor Bureau, and this kind of welcome scene made Alan Wilson frown slightly, because similar scenes always appear in countries close to the Soviet Union.
But it's not surprising that during the Third Reich, similar groups should have been commonplace.
If Harold Wilson had been German, he might have earned the title of Friend of Women, and of course it was about the same now.
Harold Wilson, who had been warmly welcomed, seemed to be flattered, and the speeches he had been preparing were finally in handy, and the other cities were so badly damaged that the local women did not have time to listen to the chatter of an Englishman.
Bonn, on the other hand, has largely restored the basic conditions of a city, which can be used as a model for the efforts of the British Empire to rebuild the British-occupied territory.
"Bonn is Beethoven's hometown......" Harold Wilson opened a speech that had been prepared for a long time, but had not been useful, to the citizens of Bonn, who warmly welcomed him.
"The hair is cut short, and the temperament is different." Alan Wilson looked straight at Isabella Pokina and left ear and right ear out of Harold Wilson's speech.
is very similar to the wife of the Soviet boxing champion played by Brigitte Nelson in the Rocky movie, with short hair and a hint of strong woman temperament.
