British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1216: gold for food

"If you don't show up for such a long time, you ask people for money as soon as you appear." Princess Margaret was displeased, and the sparkle on her red lips had not disappeared. Her Royal Highness said that a kiss is not enough, why should the country To develop the semiconductor industry, let her pay

Her Royal Highness must have misunderstood. Alan Wilson must not be able to catch a sheep, and he will contact all ladies of the same status as his wife. It's a big deal.

"The royal family is the symbol of the British Empire. If you can make contributions to the country in such a potential industry. Think about it, isn't that a good thing." Alan Wilson took the princess into his arms and started the persuasion work with a good attitude.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you take more and take less. The key is that the royal family needs to set an example. With this example, Alan Wilson can continue to think of ways to inject capital into my semiconductor business, and even think of a way from the government, so that it can be long-term and even exceed.

Taking the example of Fraud Island as an example, semiconductors are definitely not as good as Formosa Plastics in creating jobs, but how can they create tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, which is also a good thing for the UK. Now that Malaya has been filled with several industries that have been transferred, we can't expect Malays working in agriculture to top it.

Can the semiconductor industry be promoted by just pulling a group of old farmers?

"You're amazing, you're lofty, and when you're the secretary of the cabinet, you post it to the country." Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at her brother-in-law, "It's hard to imagine that there really is someone like you."

"There is still such a thing as patriotism in this world." Ellen Wilson stretched out his finger and pointed at the tip of his sister-in-law's nose, "Margaret, you are the princess of England, and if England is not good, your princess will not be good either. In fact, the royal families of all countries should understand this, but some countries are really unclear on this point."

The hearts of the ministers of the Alan Wilson feudal monarchs broke out, and for a while they were worried about the country and the people. .

He only received one salary from England, but he served so many monarchies that sometimes he wondered, what day is this?

My sister-in-law still knows the general situation. After a long period of persuasion, mainly thanks to the rocket, Her Royal Highness expressed her willingness to contribute to the development of British semiconductors.

"You've already become the secretary-general of the cabinet, what should I do?" Princess Margaret asked while hanging on her brother-in-law, lamenting that she was no longer old, and she was not too young, she was thirty-three years old.

"Sometimes it's quiet at night, and I'm thinking about this too. Out of the responsibility of a man, I can't let you live like this. I'll arrange that there must be a crystallization of love between us."

I was thinking of prostitution for free, and it has always been for free, but at this moment, Alan Wilson openly expressed that he was responsible, although it was not sincere, but how could the love brain see that he was reluctant.

Poor Tom, being toyed with like that...

"I don't have to fight with Pamela, but you know my feelings for you." Princess Margaret lowered her head and whispered, "Don't let Pamela know that you are the secretary of the cabinet, and you should block the news. not a problem……"

"Whoever dares to ruin the innocence of the princess, God will not forgive him." Alan Wilson patted his chest. As long as Princess Margaret can endure the loneliness, he will naturally find someone who can make Her Royal Highness feel at ease. place to give birth.

For the UK's semiconductor business, the cabinet secretary has sacrificed too much. It didn't take long for him to return to Whitehall. He was thinking about meeting with the UK's semiconductor representative after the meeting. The phone on the table rang, and Alan Wilson recovered and picked it up. Microphone, "I'm Ellen, say it directly."

"Permanent Undersecretary, the Soviet ambassador Victor wants to meet with you." The voice of Dixon, the chief private secretary of the foreign secretary, came, "Victor insisted on doing this, saying that there is an urgent matter, and I can only inform you."

"What are they going to do?" Alan Wilson said to himself, and then said, "Okay, arrange a time. After all, I am still the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I should contribute to the work of this department."

What's wrong, Prime Minister Aiden is in charge of foreign affairs, why can't the Cabinet Secretary also be the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Don't worry now, think about it later.

Victor was actually very hesitant in his heart. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility this time, and that although the person he wanted to meet was young, he had a deep background. He had become the head of the British civil service at the age of less than forty.

The last ambassador had dealt with Alan Wilson, and knew that this nonsense person was not easy to deal with.

But the voices in the country seem to be looking for the ability of the head of the British civil servants. If he insisted on meeting him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"I want to buy food." Alan Wilson had a playful look on his face when he heard this. He already knew what was going on in his heart and asked directly, "Mr. Ambassador, the Soviet Union has not been carrying out the corn movement in the past few years, why did you think of purchasing food? And I believe that the Soviet Union will not fail to understand that Britain is an island country.”

Valley destroyed

The other party begged to come to the door, and this time it was not Alan Wilson's style at all.

He knew that there must be a risk to the food security of the Soviet Union, otherwise he would not say anything about purchasing food.

According to the basic conditions, agriculture in the Soviet Union should not be a weakness. After all, the largest black land in the world is in the Soviet Union. However, there were indeed agricultural weaknesses in the Soviet period, which must be acknowledged.

On other issues, for example, the distribution mechanism of the Soviet Union is much worse. Many commodities in the Soviet Union have not changed their prices since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Some tools directly stamp the price, but the cost increase is real. In the later period, the price inversion in the Soviet market became more and more serious.

For example, the cost of producing grain is higher than the bread sold, and it is not unheard of for the Soviet Union to use bread to feed livestock.

And in terms of the degree of attention, heavy industry is greater than light industry than agriculture. Although at conferences at all levels, no one seems to have attached more importance to agricultural issues than the CPSU, in fact, the emphasis on heavy industry, light industry and agriculture has never changed.

This is also related to the population of the Soviet Union. From the perspective of job creation, heavy industry is smaller than light industry and agriculture is smaller. But the Soviet Union's emphasis was quite the opposite, because the Soviet Union had to fight against a free world with far more people than itself.

The population of the Soviet Union is not enough, so it is necessary to give priority to the allocation of labor force to heavy industry, light industry will be sloppy, and agriculture can only make do. If the Soviet Union has a population of a certain big country, even if it has a population of 400 million, this problem may not arise.

Alan Wilson said in his heart that the food problem is not impossible to solve, for example, prices can be raised. But it is estimated that the Soviet Union will not do this. They want to compare the military with the United States, and the welfare with Europe. Does the increase in prices mean that the great motherland is not good?

If you play a high tune, you will encounter this kind of problem. You see, the per capita grain of Russia in later generations is far less than that of the Soviet Union, and it is pitiful that it is not as big as India as a food exporter.

The fact that the UK is an island country is just a rhetoric. Even if the UK is really an island country, the food self-sufficiency rate is 75%, which is quite high among island countries, and it is definitely higher than Japan, which lost Hokkaido.

"Actually, it is not impossible to help this business from a commercial point of view, but the United Kingdom is not the Soviet Union, and everything is clearly priced. The United Kingdom is happy to sell grain to the Soviet Union from a commercial point of view." I don't think procuring food is a problem for the UK, which has pounds, not rubles, which no one recognizes.

"This is a gold-standard world. If the UK purchases, it also needs gold as a guarantee. If there is no problem with Ambassador Victor, I am happy to persuade the Prime Minister to carry out a normal economic and trade cooperation."

The Soviet Union had to buy with gold, and Britain would not accept rubles, not even dollars. Because the price of U.S. dollars and gold is not the ratio of the Breston Woods system, why it is more realistic to use gold for dollars.

Victor said that he would inform Moscow of the British side's opinion, and Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh that he was able to carry out a grain business while developing semiconductors. He is obviously a very focused person, which is really annoying.

A few days later, Victor seemed to have been instructed and appeared in front of Alan Wilson again, saying that he wanted to purchase 10 million tons of grain. After Alan Wilson found out, he took the written report and went to No. 10 Downing Street. .

The great Prime Minister Aiden was thinking about whether to announce a general election. He was thinking about it when he saw the cabinet secretary, "Alan, what's the matter?"

"There is one happy thing." Alan Wilson directly took out a memo and placed it in front of Aiden.

"The Soviet Union wants to buy grain and use gold" Aiden asked directly after reading the memo~www.wuxiaspot.com~, "How much?"

"Preliminary estimate, 220 tons of gold of wheat." Alan Wilson smiled like a fox, "Dear Prime Minister, it may be that the Cuban missile crisis Britain gave the Soviet Union a step, and the United States just confronted the Soviet Union, resulting in There is hatred between the two countries, and I specifically asked that the Soviet Union has only made a purchase request to the United Kingdom."

Two hundred and twenty tons of gold Aiden was shocked, this is almost the output of the Gold Coast in two years, and 4% of the UK's gold reserves. Rao has experienced strong winds and waves, and he can't help but calm down, "This is really a big deal. "

"So the UK will play an important role in the international situation, and it will still be rewarded." Alan Wilson nodded and smiled.

"Can you handle this?" Aiden asked immediately. Obviously, the Prime Minister also hoped that the business would be done.

"I don't think it's a problem, it's called the Gold-for-Food Program." Alan Wilson assured that, in addition to North and South Rhodesia, Malaya and other places under direct control, it can also be purchased through Canada and Australia, which recognize the value of British pounds.
