"Intelligence on Kosygin's reform in Moscow." The head of MI6, Richard White, arrived at the Cabinet Office and brought out the intelligence that Alan Wilson needed.

"Oh, thank you, let's see what good things our enemies have come up with, maybe we can learn it." Alan Wilson expressed his thanks with a smile, and then looked very interested, pointing to the corner. , "There's coffee over there, Richard, just do it yourself."

"Thank you!" Richard White is no stranger to having a water dispenser in the supreme authority's office, with a heating function and a very novel design.

Of course, this water dispenser was designed by him. It was often used when he was in school in his previous life. He has applied for a patent in the UK, and now it has become a popular product in the world. If the hair loss rate in the UK has dropped, I should really be thankful for his supreme authority.

"Secretary-General, you have always been concerned about the movements of the Soviet Union." Richard White took the coffee and prepared himself, and did not forget to talk to his immediate boss.

"For such a powerful country, if we don't care, it is a dereliction of duty for the country." Alan Wilson flipped through the documents. In fact, the Soviet Union had a good reputation in this era.

Of course, there are black spots, and it has been said over and over again, but it doesn't hurt. The most basic reason is that the Soviet Union is still alive.

If the Soviet Union perishes in a flash tomorrow, then our free world will be welcome, and the innocuous black spot will inevitably become the irreversible black spot. Isn't there a TV show that says, "Why don't we support Afghanistan because the Soviet Union is too strong."

The difference in national strength caused the treatment. Britain and the United States both hated the Soviet Union, but as long as the Soviet Union said it wanted to ease, the Britain and the United States would definitely say that the relaxation was correct and avoid direct confrontation with the Soviet Union.

Of course, the Soviet Union cannot be eased by easing. At least the Soviet Union cannot stop troubled countries in the same camp, such as a certain big country that has been disobeying orders.

At present, the relationship between a certain major power and the troubled country of the free world camp, France, is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it seems that there is a trend of confluence. Especially recently.

Take the Vietnam War as an example. Although the United Kingdom did not send troops, it still supported the United States at the diplomatic level. Are you looking at French President Charles de Gaulle's attitude towards Vietnam? De Gaulle delivered a speech strongly condemning the U.S. aggression against Vietnam, and then urgently summoned former French Prime Minister Edgar Full to visit various countries to explain France's position.

France's open opposition to the U.S. policy on Vietnam has been summed up in one sentence in the eyes of Washington. France is opposing the U.S. in every field and at every level.

The Soviet Union is carrying out reforms. This is a fact that can be made clear from public channels. The UK is also very concerned about this matter. Let’s learn from each other’s strengths. Not to mention that the current Labour government is still carrying out some nationalization measures, such as the water supply that is being steadily promoted. Nationalization of the system.

After Brezhnev came to power, he made a clear request to the Soviet economic community, hoping that they would start discussions on how to revive the Soviet economy. With the support of Brezhnev, the Soviet economic circle responded enthusiastically, the most prominent of which was Lisichkin's publication of "Life Proposes Amendment". The article argues that it is extremely unreasonable to regard the planned economy as the only means of national economic development. Only by combining the planning with the market can the sustainable development of the economy be achieved.

Just combine planning with the market? You see, isn't this similar to how we combined the advantages of the two systems in Attlee's time?

With the support of Brezhnev, Kosygin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, started the economic reform of the Soviet Union, and the economic reform of the Soviet Union chaired by Kosygin has been carried out in full swing in the Soviet Union. It is reported that a total of 43,000 enterprises in the country adopted the new economic policy at that time, accounting for 94% of the total industrial output value of the Soviet Union.

Enterprises have the autonomy to use funds to carry out large-scale production, and at the same time they have established enterprise funds at their own disposal. On the other hand, the economic reform chaired by Kosygin allows enterprise members to obtain material satisfaction through the reform of the wage system for enterprise members. And a complete accounting policy that is completely close to the market.

Of course, this kind of thing, what the Soviet Union does is called Soviet revisionism, and it is different when it is done in another country. It can be called reform and opening up. The so-called double standards are everywhere.

"Can you think of a new economic growth point in Eastern Europe?" Alan Wilson had to frown, and the UK's current economy has once again reached a bottleneck. The colony in hand worth developing has already been developed, and the thankless future will not change.

Once the economic growth is insufficient, you can see that the former Prime Minister Aiden has worked so hard in diplomacy, and voters will not buy it, you will know that the economic problem is the root. When Harold Wilson came to power, he had to play the economic card. After all, the status of a world power cannot be taken for granted.

This Kosygin reform is obviously an opportunity. Alan Wilson told Richard White, "There is still a lack of information on the economic exchanges between Italy and the Soviet Union in recent years."

"I'll have someone send it over immediately." Richard White nodded, the economic relationship between Italy and the Soviet Union is an open fact, but what does the supreme authority want?

Naturally, it emphasizes the role of expanding economic ties with the Soviet Union. If Britain wants to go further, it must try to return to traditional sources of raw materials, such as Eastern Europe.

The current situation is very simple. France and the Soviet bloc are unclear, Italy and the Soviet bloc are secretly communicating, and the Germans are not moving, but Alan Wilson knows that the Germans will soon promote the Eastern policy, because the development of Western Europe on its own has begun. Peaked.

The per capita income of European countries and the United Kingdom has become closer and closer, and the United Kingdom cannot sit on the sidelines and remain indifferent.

This can't be solved by relying on nationalization alone. Besides, the Soviet Union has begun to reform, so can't the United Kingdom achieve a win-win situation through the reform of the Soviet Union?

Italy did not dare to provide technical equipment to the Soviet Union with great fanfare. They controlled the cooperation between the two sides within a controllable range, and the cooperation between the two sides was mainly concentrated in the field of civilian industry. Italy exported refrigerators, automobiles, steel pipes and other products to the Soviet Union, and transferred some production technologies to the Soviet Union, in exchange for a huge amount of foreign exchange and rich resources from the Soviet Union.

The most typical example is the Soviet auto industry, which can be said to be largely attributed to Italy. The most famous prototype of the Soviet Union's Lada car is the Italian Fiat car. In return, the Soviet Union not only paid large sums of real money to Italy to buy a large amount of goods and technologies from Italy, but also exported oil, natural gas and other resources to Italy at preferential prices.

France is not far behind in this regard. Many technical standards in the Soviet Union are French. If these two countries are competing to betray the free world, Britain will just watch?

"Of course we want to rebuild economic and trade relations." Harold Wilson pondered for a while. "Does Kosygin's reform mean that the Soviet Union has begun to turn around to some extent?"

"It's impossible to judge right away, but France and Italy have been exporting technology to the Soviet Union, and the country's development rate has been approaching that of the United Kingdom in recent years. It would be stupid if we didn't move at all." Alan Wilson replied to the Prime Minister's question. "It's a pity that we don't have a Hong Kong in the Soviet Union, but it's not without a roundabout way. For example, through Finland, the Prime Minister also knows that Finland is very close to Leningrad, the economic center of the Soviet Union, and we can cooperate with Finland. Economic and trade relations were established in the economic center of the Soviet Union."

"The problem now is the United States. In fact, we all know that the United States also contained the United Kingdom after the war. For a period of time, we were quite hard, but after the Cuban missile crisis, the degree of containment seems to be less, and since Charles de Gaulle After taking office, the target of the United States' containment in the free world has obviously turned to France. At present, France and the United States are quarreling with each other because of the dollar issue. In this case, there may be a solution.",

Harold Wilson is very interested in what method, of course, he is not too obvious to be too obvious, after all, this is an internal struggle in the free world. .

"It is a fact that France, Italy and the Soviet Union have developed economic and trade relations. We use this to blame the two countries and see the reaction of the Americans. If the United States adopts a tacit attitude, then there is no reason for the United States to ignore France and Italy, and continue with the United Kingdom alone. Now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Taking advantage of the current discord between France and the United States, plus a fire, if the United States appeases at this time, then the United Kingdom will be welcome, and the Eastern European market also wants the United Kingdom. Points, civil technology France and Italy can provide, the United Kingdom is not unable to provide.

Harold Wilson was moved, the Conservative Party stepped down because of poor economic development, and Aiden was busy for a long time, mediating the Indo-Pakistani war, and containing Indonesia to no avail. Haven't lost nearly a hundred seats in this election?

"We really can't act rashly!" Harold Wilson agreed with the cabinet secretary. "Then let Washington give an account of France and Italy's betrayal of the free world."

If there is no way to say this, then the two can do it, but can't the UK do it? It happens that the UK is still fighting with France over French currency remarks, and it is not impossible to continue to expand the war of words.

France says Britain is America's Trojan horse in Europe, and Britain says France destroys the unity of the free world.

Now is the time to escalate this war of words. While the big brother of the free world is busy with the war, the British attack on France has suddenly taken another level. The British newspapers connoted that France was an invisible ally of the Soviet Union and handed over countless technologies to freedom. enemy of the world.
