British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1225: To prevent foreigners, you must first be safe
In order to stabilize the value of the British pound, it is rumored that the Soviet Union's gold figure is higher than the real figure.
Everyone in Whitehall is talented and speaks nicely. After some logical evaluation and the blurring of the original price, it is believed that the range of 300 to 400 tons is more suitable.
This is not easy to be dismantled, and it can also give confidence to the institutions that hold the pound. After all, 400 tons of gold is not too small in any country. Even in the United States, the world's largest gold reserve country, 400 tons of gold is close to 4%.
For the UK, this ratio is close to 8%, which can be said to be a windfall. Its role in finance and finance is immeasurable. Of course, this kind of trivial matter does not need to be reported to the Prime Minister. After all, it is a rumor, and the government does not need to come forward to confirm Is the news true.
At least the newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Regina Medellin, is happy with this situation, and even has a slight idea of wanting to implement the grand blueprint.
There is a saying that money is not everything, and nothing is impossible without money. Two world wars destroyed the economy of Europe. If you don't have money, you can't speak hard, and this has led to the decline of Europe.
Having money cannot be said to be completely different, but it can also solve many things. However, Frank expressed doubts about the grand blueprint of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and for this reason, he specially came to communicate with the cabinet secretary.
It's a pity that Frank made a fuss. The supreme authority is not in Whitehall. He is explaining the untrueness of the rumors with the most closely related Soviet ambassador to the United Kingdom, Victor, and why he has not been clarified. Of course, this is in Prime Minister Aiden. carried out under acquiescence.
This can't be blamed on the British government, an insider who cannot disclose his name, thinks the range of 300 tons to 400 tons is more suitable, but the UK is also a free world. The media in the free world likes big news. Said that there were three or four hundred tons of gold in the purchase this time, the uncrowned kings felt that it was not enough, and then played a side ball.
Some irresponsible newspapers did not mention specific figures, because the government would not publish them. But the gold that the Soviet Union purchased for grain became one-third of the Soviet Union's gold reserves.
This is very cunning, who knows how much the Soviet Union's gold reserves are? But the Soviet Union is a country with vast land and resources. It is absolutely true that the world's largest land area will not lie.
This kind of report has caused the effect of a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Most people in this world are shocked by the vast land of the Soviet Union, which is the largest in the world. Incredible.
This kind of vague speculation cannot deceive real insiders. Although the rumors in the market are relatively evil, Pamela Mountbatten resolutely adopted conservative figures and told the three major grain merchants in the United States that there are absolutely not as many fake news, only Three hundred and fifty tons of gold.
Compared to the uncapped speculation on fake news, this conservative figure is really conservative. But the three major grain merchants who learned the inside story exploded. Originally, they should have a share, but now they can only watch it. The contract has been signed and the shipment has already started.
Jealousy gnaws at their hearts like gangrene, what? Doubt the reliability of the news?
Grain merchants beg you, put hundreds of tons of gold on the gold market and deceive us vulnerable groups.
Alan Wilson and the respected gentleman, the Soviet ambassador, Mr. Victor, were standing on the seashore and looked into the distance. Not far away was a huge ship leaving the port, and the destination was naturally Leningrad. Of course, the British sometimes called St. Petersburg by the old name.
The sea is endlessly changing, a scene a day, and there are few similarities. Besides, this sea is far from what Malaya sees. Perhaps, it is springtime, and there are frequent storms; perhaps, even if it belongs to the same sea, the climate is different and more changeable, causing the seaside in this area to lose its laziness. , foggy, weak sea.
"If we knew that food prices would go up because of this, maybe we wouldn't have signed the contract so soon. In fact, I might even take some responsibility for it."
Alan Wilson made a bitter face to win sympathy. Although the United Kingdom got 220 tons of gold, the Soviets got precious food. It is impossible for people not to eat. Life is priceless, especially the life of the Soviets.
As for what Africa and the Far East are naturally not in the priceless ranks of life, everything has a price.
While Alan Wilson was talking to half the world's leaders, the Japanese endured smaller bento boxes, and South Korean women were holding their babies waiting to be fed, watching the latest food prices go unresolved, and the island's martial law tightening.
But what the **** do they care about him? There are so many miserable places in the world, how much does he manage as a British cabinet secretary? It is the Soviet Union that wants to liberate the world, not the United Kingdom.
Alan Wilson has an agile and unfathomable bottom line, and no one understands strategy better than him. Thinking about it carefully, even if the famine really broke out, it would not affect European and American countries, but if the Soviets were hungry enough to ask Europe for trouble, it would be bad.
Excluding the military orders from India and Arab countries, as well as the 220 tons of gold from the Soviet Union this time, the economic situation in the UK is very difficult. A grand blueprint.
The Soviet ambassador did not know all this, and the Soviets did not know how many peasants in the colonies had to sweat and sacrifice in order to sell a little grain. How could half the world's leading countries realize this?
Alan Wilson, with a very sincere attitude, finally fooled the Soviet ambassador, and then slammed the Sukarno government in Indonesia at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accusing the dictator's Greater Indonesiaism, which would undermine regional prosperity and stability.
At a time when public opinion is concerned about grain and gold, it seems a little out of place to criticize the Sukarno regime in Indonesia, but this is a very obvious signal of action. If the cultural czar of Moscow pays attention to this report, he will know that the cabinet secretary who keeps his word Sir, we have to fulfill our promise.
If it is not determined to push Indonesia to the Soviet bloc, in the current situation, it is really a good opportunity. Kennedy will be happy this year, the Soviet Union is overwhelmed by food shortages, and it is not impossible for the United Kingdom to kill the Sukarno regime.
But who wants that odds? In some things, winning means losing, and losing means winning. It’s as if Kennedy thought he had taken control of the three major grain merchants in the United States. He won, but he only added another heavyweight member to the already huge opposition force.
After the Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy's approval rate was quite high, changing the image of the weak president before. If nothing else, whether it is midterm elections or re-election, there is no problem at all.
So many things have been done in just three years in power. Letting you be president for eight years will not let the citizens of the world who finally waited for Roosevelt to die will usher in the darkest moment again?
In particular, the titular Silver Act has to be brought out to play a role. It can be said that it has to dig the graves of the citizens of the world. Compared with the UK, which has just swallowed three or four hundred tons of Soviet gold, Wall Street has never been so unpleasant, but One thing is the consensus of all countries in the world, that is, to fight against the outside world and not to settle down first.
How can all the people who think the president is very good know about this kind of thing? Ordinary people will only talk about the warm-up of the upcoming epic blockbuster Cleopatra, the three-year shooting cycle and the scandal between the male and female protagonists.
On the British side, Princess Margaret and Turing met once and frankly expressed their appreciation for Turing's talent. The pressure from the Queen's sister and the Queen Mother finally made Her Royal Highness, who is over 30 years old, experience the cruelty of the real world.
Turing, who has just been promoted to the president of the Royal Interstellar Society and has unique achievements in scientific research, will definitely not satisfy Her Majesty the Queen, but her sister's long-term tug-of-war due to emotional issues finally made the Queen feel tired and unwilling to continue to persecute it. .
With the Queen's acquiescence, other than Turing's age, other resistance is not big.
"Her Royal Highness's marriage should really not be delayed any longer." Alan Wilson, who came to visit his sister-in-law, expressed his concern in his own shoes.
"Put your pants on, your words are more convincing." Princess Margaret glanced back at the cabinet secretary, and did not forget to add, "You can't forget my sacrifice to you."
The cabinet secretary swears that he will serve the royal family wholeheartedly in his life and be the pillar of Great Britain.
He has always done this, and no one can fault it, that he has always served Britain wholeheartedly. Sometimes the means may be questionable, but the original intention is good.
Heard of a famine in Southern Rhodesia? What if there was a famine in that part of Africa? Isn't that everyday?
The High Commissioner of Southern Rhodesia has already said on the telegram that the problem is not big and can be prevented and controlled. "
Prime Minister Aiden even had some regrets. The general election should have been held after the news of doing business with the Soviet Union had spread.
For this reason, at the cabinet meeting, he apologized to the Conservative Party ministers in the tone of self-punishment three cups, and then naturally said that this page has passed and will not be mentioned again in the future.
In the field of diplomacy, Alan Wilson, who is also currently the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the time being, continued to implement the core concept of foreign policy of “pulling on France” and informed the United States through the united Five Eyes alliance that France is a disloyal country and is secretly communicating with a certain eastern power.
Hopefully, the well-deserved beacon of the free world will stop the French from disunity.
The reasons put forward include, but are not limited to, a certain great country is against imperialism and feudalism, and France, as a colonial country that has actually occupied Algeria, should not conduct such politically incorrect diplomacy, etc...
What? Is Britain also a colonial power? Britain has not established diplomatic relations with any major country, and has always been loyal to the free world.
