British Civil Servant

Alan Wilson is still not suitable to show his face at this time because he was the assistant to the British India Commissioner, but it doesn't matter, he can control Rabo Butler as well.

In the final analysis, Rabo Butler is just one person, and the rest of the entire diplomatic team is the permanent undersecretary.

This does not mean that Alan Wilson is all right. He came to the place where he once lived and fought. The apartment he lived in has many good memories. The deputy secretary with a camera around his neck, during the tense visit, still After taking precious time to experience the customs of India, the Indians gave this white face a kind smile.

Back at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Dixon called Alan Wilson's room, "Prime Minister Nehru was deeply shocked by what happened in Kenya, and also expressed his understanding of the delay in the Royal Navy's travel, the minister's conversation with Nehru It's still going well."

"Have you discussed the issue of the pound? What is the attitude of the Indians?" Alan Wilson held the microphone and put his strong arms around Heidi Rama. The Deputy Secretary has always taken care of both public and private matters and will not waste any time. Time is Precious, wasting time is wasting life.

"According to our information, India is still open to sterling settlement." Dixon replied solemnly.

"Anyway, everyone has issued a war report, and the war is over. The advanced equipment of the nine brigades should not be delayed." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. Although the Royal Navy cannot come for the time being, assistance can still be sent first. Anyway, at present Not even the Strait of Gibraltar.

"By the way, the Permanent Undersecretary, Moscow and Washington, also expressed their intention to assist India. The minister may talk to you about this issue at night." Dixon reported as if he remembered something.

"Thank you, hang up first." Alan Wilson put down the microphone and tilted his head to look at Heidi Lamar, who had just been funny.

Heidi Lamar shyly and timidly pulled back Sue's hand who was holding the handle, and said to him, "You British people seem to have a morbid obsession with sterling."

"It seems that the French don't value the franc." Alan Wilson answered calmly. "A stable and reliable currency can help the issuing country a lot. That's the charm of financial hegemony."

The currencies of many countries are actually worthless, and they can't impact financial hegemony at all. They can be called stable currencies, but there are not many in this world.

The currency of the general country is anchored by the US dollar. What is its real state? Take Brazil and Argentina as examples. Brazil's economic aggregate was 4 trillion reais in 2010, and 8 trillion reais ten years later.

If calculated in Brazilian currency, Brazil's total economic volume has doubled in ten years, but international trade is calculated in US dollars. Other countries do not recognize Brazil's real. Brazil's population has not grown much in ten years, and per capita GDP Also cut in half, because Brazil's currency has depreciated against the US dollar.

This is not only a problem of Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Saudi Arabia and other countries that export a large amount of primary agricultural products and various resources have no pricing power, so the changes in per capita GDP are almost entirely determined by exchange rates and international market prices.

A large number of products from these countries need to be imported. In international trade, the main settlement currency is the US dollar. When their country's exchange rate fell, it meant that more money had to be spent to buy the same product.

When the price of raw materials is high, the currency of the resource country is strong, otherwise it is weak. When Apple 4 entered Brazil, it sold for 17 reais, and when it came to Apple 13, it was 7,990 reais.

If a big country is the same as Brazil, because the industry cannot support a stable currency, according to Brazil’s trajectory, everyone will welcome an Apple 13 that sells for 22,000 yuan, and the determination to cut the kidney will be firm. few.

Alan Wilson just happened to have a brief experience in the era before the outbreak of cottage phones. With the income of his parents at that time, the mobile phone at that time was forty and spin, and he was definitely not buying it if he wanted to.

The cell phone is just an example, and this example can be used in any field. For most countries, as long as your country does not have this industry, you will be cut leeks no matter what you do.

Many countries can't even deal with the tide of the US dollar. What development is this talking about? Russia has enough resources to fill the periodic table of elements, and it is definitely talented in resources. According to the ruble, the economy has already doubled, but when it was attacked by the dollar, the ruble immediately plummeted.

Russia's industry cannot be compared with the Soviet Union, but it is already very strong among the resource countries. It is all disgraced. How can other countries still see it?

But some of Russia's legacy industries originating from the Soviet Union can make Russia more capable than the average resource country. This is where the local currency grows and the dollar count plummets.

Statistics can't decide everything. It depends on how you look at it. If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, when Russia was at its worst in dollar terms, the national economy was not as large as Greece's. Anyway, he didn't believe this statistic.

In terms of finance, Alan Wilson is not even as good as the accountant beside his wife. He can only say that financial hegemony is very important, and he can answer from some industries.

Take the Asian pound issued by Malaya, which is a weak currency compared to the British pound.

It is also a strong currency compared to surrounding South Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar.

Compared with the pound, the UK has financial hegemony. Compared with the currencies of other countries, it is much simpler. Just last year, it surpassed the United States Steel Corporation, with an annual production capacity of 35 million tons, ranking first in the world. Kuching Steel At the base, even the five million tons of production capacity of a powerful country can be crushed, not to mention other wine bags and rice bags.

Nehru's vigilance against Britain is also justified. Britain has not yet withdrawn from Asia, and Malaya is not far from India. And Alan Wilson has no plans to quit for the foreseeable future.

He really wanted to know which future prime minister with a grand plan in mind would dare to let the increasingly important Malaya become independent.

"At the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' meeting next month, all Commonwealth countries will come together to come up with a comprehensive package to express support for India."

On the radio, Rabo Butler's latest speech is being broadcast. This real-time broadcast reflects the UK's firm support for India. At the same time, it unilaterally announced that Nehru, who has just been disgraced, will be on a bigger stage.

The British diplomatic delegation had not yet left New Delhi, and the first aid from the United States and the Soviet Union, the better-than-nothing, almost negligible armament was delivered to New Delhi.

The three giants of the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union in World War II served India alone. Is this a small blessing? The United Kingdom brought out the loyal, reliable and battle-hardened Lee Enfield rifle. As a former suzerain, the United Kingdom was embarrassed to use this weapon to prevaricate India.

Rabo Butler returned to the hotel and said, "Nehru wants a main battle tank for the UK to help develop."

"Respected Minister, we should promise the Indians." After listening to Alan Wilson, he replied immediately, "I believe the military will be satisfied with this."

"Will this cause a chain reaction?" Rabo Butler thinks, will this make a major country feel that the UK is too involved, which will lead to the danger of Hong Kong, the important free port of the UK.

"Anyway, we should all be on the side of India." Alan Wilson was determined to broker the deal.

Do you need tanks at the battle site? Who drives tanks on the roof of the world? Driving a jeep in that place might be more useful.

India's requirements are obvious, and they have committed the problem of stacking important equipment and being top-heavy. Definitely going down the old road where there are more tanks than armored vehicles and more armored vehicles than artillery.

Why didn't the UK agree? If the UK does not respond, is it cheaper than the Soviet Union? Soviet tanks are much more reliable than British tanks. Throughout the Cold War cycle, Soviet tanks were on the side of the free world.

British tanks also have the usual problems of tanks in the free world. For example, they are adapted to the European Great Plains and have the characteristics of thin skin and large fillings. Since the Indians need them, as the former suzerain, the United Kingdom has no reason to refuse.

"We should inform the Prime Minister of the good news immediately." Alan Wilson was about to leave, and Heidi Rama was still waiting, so people couldn't wait any longer.

For India, Alan Wilson can say that he has paid too much. He even came to the Indian Ministry of Defense in person during his busy schedule, and met with the Indian Defense Minister Menon, who has not been dismissed for the time being, but has entered the countdown to his career.

Alan Wilson did not rub salt on the wound of the Secretary of Defense who played snakes under the roof of the world and was bitten by a snake before. When the Malayan High Commissioner ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Menon was also the High Commissioner in London, that is, the ambassador to the United Kingdom.

At this time, Menon was in a state of despair, in stark contrast to his high spirits two months ago, but he still talked about the British-Indian military cooperation with a strong spirit.

While Alan Wilson and the other party were talking about tank procurement, the BBC specifically found the home of former Indian Army Chief of Staff Admiral Thimayya, and started an in-depth interview. He also elaborated on India's exclusion of generals who have been fully trained by the United Kingdom. , the promotion of local generals led to the conclusion of defeat.

Pulling on Menon and shaping Admiral Thimaia to be in office has already begun with an absolutely different operation.

Later, Britain and India announced at the same time that they would jointly develop a new generation of main battle tanks to deal with the threat. In fact, it was to change the British Chieftain tank to adapt it to the customs of India. The tank was first made by the United Kingdom. Wait until India After the assets are available, parts are provided by the UK and assembled in India.

Depending on the situation, India has set the procurement volume at about 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles as the main battle equipment of the Indian Army. An Air Force acquisition contract was announced at the same time.

"Only Dad is good in the world." Alan Wilson whistled, it was time to rest after a hard day's work.
