British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1211: don't you worry
It must be admitted that at this Anglo-American summit, France's strong support for the United Kingdom has played a big role. There is no stronger France in history beside it, and the United Kingdom may not be able to retreat so easily. .
To save France is to save Britain. This metaphor, which can be called a joke, will one day become a reality. At the end of World War II, Britain's resolute move to pull France into the permanent seat of the United Nations finally paid off at this moment.
After the United Kingdom and the United States issued a stinky and long joint communiqué with little content but something to say, the British delegation left Nassau and soon arrived in Paris, the French capital.
The two old rulers began to report to the group to warm up again. The British and French views on European affairs are not completely the same. But at least so far, the idea of so-called third-party forces has not given up.
Besides, this time, the independent voice of Europe has helped the UK a lot, and it is reasonable to make a visit.
The meeting between de Gaulle and Aiden was also regarded by the French as a key step in European power. It would be better if de Gaulle did not mention the status of Quebec in this meeting.
Since the establishment of the Fifth Republic, some influences have gradually emerged, not to mention the problem that makes the United States at a loss, and it is difficult for the United Kingdom to accept it. The problem that neither the United States nor the United States likes is the Quebec problem.
The de Gaulle government in France led to the silent revolution two years ago, and in the economic field, the local government sought to increase French control over the Quebec economy. Before that, the Quebec economy was largely dominated by Anglo-Canadians and American investors.
Fortunately, de Gaulle did not go deep into this embarrassing issue for the UK. Of course, another issue, which is not very popular with the UK, such as attacking the hegemony of the US dollar.
The United Kingdom definitely does not like the hegemony of the dollar. If it has a choice, the United Kingdom will definitely hope that the pound will return to its original position, but how to look at this matter, no matter how bad the dollar hegemony is, it is better than the replacement of the dollar by the franc.
There is only one last issue, which Aiden is very willing to discuss in depth, and that is how Britain and France should allocate their industrial arrangements, get their own cakes in the European Community, and establish their leading role in European countries.
Although Aiden is interested in this issue, the French proposition is not to be accepted in its entirety. Because in many industries, France is also a competitor of the United Kingdom. All in all, at the Nassau conference, the look and feel of France was not bad, but it was quickly lost in Paris.
Alan Wilson had nothing to say. He was actually very interested in what de Gaulle called the hegemony of the dollar. But this kind of thinking can't be declared, otherwise the reliability will be questioned.
He remembered that the first person who blew the horn of attack against the Breston Woods system was the French.
The U.S. dollar is not printed casually in this era. The Breston Woods system is simple to say, that is, the U.S. dollar is pegged to gold, and other currencies are pegged to the U.S. dollar. There is no such thing as a floating exchange rate, it is a fixed exchange rate. fixed death rate.
Although the US dollar is nominally a global currency, in fact other currencies also have strong circulation capabilities. Because there must be gold behind him. In fact, everyone is still trading with gold as the standard.
Under the Breston Woods system, debt is really a big deal, debt is real money. You can tell by looking at the way Britain was overwhelmed by debt after the war. The United States also attaches great importance to the trade deficit, and is afraid that the gold in its own hands will flow out.
Because of this, when Kennedy said he was going to use his gold reserves to turn the pound into waste paper, Alan Wilson called the threat suicidal, and Kennedy would have died horribly if he did.
Since the U.S. dollar is essentially backed by gold, the following operations can be performed to bring out the gold that exists in the United States. Bonds are issued in gold, and the financing is raised in US dollars. There are far more dollars in the world than gold, and the gold reserves in the United States are only for credit.
The unit price of gold on the market is definitely higher than the price given by the Americans, who give $35 an ounce. Especially after the start of the Vietnam War and the US over-issued US dollars, the ratio of US dollars to gold became even more disparate.
In fact, the U.S. dollar is not as valuable as the Breston Woods system stipulates, so the following operations can be carried out, issuing bonds, financing to U.S. dollars, then buying gold, buying gold, and then using gold as collateral to issue bonds for refinancing. This is endless, and the U.S. gold reserves can’t bear it.
When the Breston Woods system was constructed, as a British negotiator, Keynes said that the system was unsustainable and wanted to replace gold with bulk raw materials.
It's just that the bulk of the raw materials were under the control of the United Kingdom at that time, and the United States would never agree to it.
"Many of De Gaulle's views have wiped out the goodwill that we have just raised." Rabo Butler said to Alan Wilson very distressed, "He actually said that he wants to establish diplomatic relations with China."
"This is an unreasonable act of betrayal." Alan Wilson's face changed suddenly, "This will break the UK's monopoly on the trade channel of the world's most populous country through the fact of Hong Kong. It is intolerable, and it is hurting the national strength of European countries."
On some issues, the United Kingdom can also be a European country. "We must try our best to prevent France's very rash actions and clearly inform the de Gaulle government of the seriousness of this matter."
Alan Wilson told Rabo Butler that this was a clear dig at the British corner and was intolerable.
Rabeau Butler agreed, "You should really take a tough stance against France on this issue. By the way, Alan, where have you been."
Of course, with the two female presidents on the rocket! With this in mind, Alan Wilson replied seriously, "I have been physically affected by the plane, so I usually need a rest when I arrive at my destination. I have always stayed at the Windsor Castle Hotel."
As for the location of the Windsor Castle Hotel, it is opposite to the headquarters building of Woodpecker Pictures. From the perspective of sufficient tourists, this is also very reasonable. It can also receive some well-known guests and start the hotel's signboard.
Rabeau Butler nodded and approved the explanation of the permanent secretary. After the release of the joint communique between Britain and France, calling on the United States to increase the size of the US military in Germany, this overseas visit came to an end.
The UK is getting nothing, that's okay, the US isn't getting anything, it's okay, we both have a bright future and move forward together.
"This is a world of reconciliation, let's look to the future and seek common ground while reserving differences..."
Alan Wilson, who had sequelae on the plane, proved the so-called sequelae with practical actions, mainly Schrödinger. After getting off the plane, I went straight to Vivien Leigh's apartment, practicing the combination of public and private.
He skillfully opened the door, accurately caught the sound of the bathroom, and took off his camouflage and rushed in.
The only two people left in the bathroom looked at each other. Marilyn Monroe stared at the uninvited guest who came in. The body was as motionless as a sculpture, which was embarrassing. Time passed by inadvertently...
"Let Vivian know and see how you explain it." Marilyn Monroe frightened the man who had just gotten further along.
"Then what should I do? Should I say sorry, I thought she was inside?" Alan Wilson said with an afterthought, "Although it was a mistake, I don't seem to have any regrets."
What happened to Kennedy's woman, don't ask, it's the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. It is imperative to take care of the aftermath for allies. Now it's just a matter of doing your duty in advance.
"This time I'm negotiating with Kennedy." Alan Wilson couldn't wait to flaunt himself in a victorious tone. Show that you have brought shame to America.
"What are you telling me about?" Marilyn Monroe didn't seem to care about this matter. After the birthday song incident, she knew that she could not drive Jacqueline away, and the passion of the **** goddess was not unlimited.
"Don't you think I'm very powerful." Alan Wilson asked seriously, "Even if he is the president, the president of the most powerful country in the world, he doesn't do whatever he wants."
"You are amazing?" Marilyn Monroe rolled her eyes and praised, "You are indeed better than him, and it took a long time..."
This kind of compliment is very complacent. Seeing the dancing man, Marilyn Monroe's eyes flashed a smile.
She has always believed that a girl who pursues gender equality is just a girl who lacks ambition.
"Would you like me to keep Vivian a secret?" Marilyn Monroe put on her clothes and glanced at the man who was doing the same thing.
"To be honest, I don't really care. It would be best if it didn't disturb her mood." Alan Wilson gave a soft-hearted tone. The deputy secretary was so hard-hearted when he spoke. , must not lose the initiative.
"That's really surprising~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't know how you made Vivian fall in love with you." Marilyn Monroe was a little surprised, Hollywood is a big dye vat, but she was sure Vivien Leigh was not a casual A woman, but she is dead set on such a man.
Maybe living with a younger man, that's all? Marilyn Monroe pondered this question.
"I suggest Ms. Monroe not to go back to the United States first. Let's see what the situation is saying." Alan Wilson said, "The recent period of time, the British media's operation of public opinion on you and Kennedy may have some influence. I am sorry. ."
"This apology is not very sincere, but it's better than nothing." Marilyn Monroe said lightly with her red lips.
Don't look at Alan Wilson looking so hard-hearted, but he is actually thinking about how to repair the relationship with the Kennedy family.
Still the old way, through the connections of McCarthy and Kennedy's younger brother, he emphasized his involuntary difficulties in this meeting.
