British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1371: Egyptians stand up
"Of course, I don't deny that she's good." Ellen Wilson made a pun on her own evaluation of the top Conservative Party, especially when she was still called Margaret.
The trip was not over yet, and he stayed in the outskirts of the city at night. Twilight has faded. The farm houses and the waterwheel guards were blurred and pale blue; the apple orchards were only a black wilderness; the air smelled of the smoke from the wood-burning kitchen.
There was a bird that had not yet returned to its nest alone, chirping in dismay, as if surprised at the sight of the night. There was the sound of the nose and hooves of a feeding horse in the stable.
In the distance loomed the wasteland, and farther away, the shy stars with no bright feet were embedded in the deep blue sky. A quivering owl hooted. The Cabinet Secretary took a deep breath. What a beautiful morning, how good it is to go out for a walk!
"You can't sleep if you change places, right?" Pamela Mountbatten came from behind with a confused voice. She knew that her husband had trouble sleeping lightly when he went to an unfamiliar place.
"If I come here next time, the situation will be much better." Alan Wilson lit a cigarette and leaned against the window. The head of the family did not deny that the reason for getting up early was because the environment was unfamiliar.
"Next time? Then I don't know when it will be." Pamela Mountbatten woke up leisurely, and was extremely immune to this empty check. She is an important member of the royal family, the daughter of the British Admiral, for this man. After completing all his visions, he will have a chance to accompany him alone. Do you still hope for the next time?
The British general election has just ended, and the Harold Wilson government has not replaced the members of the cabinet ministers, so it still uses the same team to deal with some important meetings at the moment. This also includes a financial summit in Stockholm, attended by Chancellor James Callahan.
The so-called "laws of economics" are all shackles thrown by the strong on the weak. A country's economic policy must be independent and formulated according to its own conditions. The most obvious example is that at the beginning of the formation of the Bretton Woods system, only the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and other American countries implemented foreign exchange liberalization. Western Europe, known as the most developed market economy, has always implemented strict foreign exchange controls, and currencies are not freely convertible.
Foreign exchange and capital controls are decisions based on national conditions, rather than mechanically copying some "theories" or succumbing to external pressures.
Soon, the opportunity for Western Europe to solve the dollar shortage finally came, and the coin turned to the other side, that is, the dollar disaster. There are ten countries participating in this financial summit. In addition to Japan, the heavyweight members are Britain, France and Germany.
France has come up with its own plan, and the Bretton Woods system still needs to be maintained. In order to solve the problem of over-issue of the US dollar, the exchange rate of thirty-five dollars per ounce can be changed into seventy dollars per ounce, and the dollar is allowed to depreciate by 100%. But the Bretton Woods system must continue.
Federal German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt supports the French proposal, arguing that a 100 percent devaluation of the dollar is feasible.
"This is not a spanking of the dollar, it is obviously a face of the pound." Alan Wilson, who was about to slap home, said to his wife, "The successive governments after the war controlled fiscal spending, forcing me to look around the world to find commodities to support the pound. What is it for? The UK dare not say that it has not over-issued sterling. After all, the pound was also used as the foreign exchange reserve of many countries before the war, but compared with the current dollar, it has been extremely restrained. Once the dollar depreciates by 100%, will the pound also depreciate? "But the Bretton Woods system was dollar-centric, and the pound was a spare tire at best."
"Tighten the currency and reduce the fiscal deficit, can you do it?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, what would happen if you followed the French's suggestion?
"It can be done, but the U.S. won't do it. Why would we do this?" Alan Wilson snorted softly, "The spending of half a million U.S. troops is huge, but since the Spring Offensive, the size of the U.S. military has been reduced again and again, but the spending has not Not much. Does this look like you're going to cut back?"
Pamela Mountbatten opened her mouth to check and found out, Alan Wilson said, "Don't be so naive, don't make trouble, as long as it can, why doesn't the United States avoid entering the war?"
The U.S. military does not recycle armaments in wars. Even if it withdraws, it will keep the used armaments in the warring country. Even if there is a risk of being used by the enemy, this must be done. First of all, it is easy to write off. Once all the armaments are captured by the enemy, the amount of loss is naturally a fog.
When the U.S. military evacuated from Vietnam, it handed over a large amount of armaments to the local pro-U.S. regime, and even Thailand got a lot of it. As a result, the armaments captured by North Vietnam suddenly armed millions of troops. This loss is a fortune. Confused, no one knows how the U.S. military pays the bills.
The American family is the emperor of the world, and the United Kingdom is nothing but a supreme leader. The current settlement share is largely based on the same drastic policy. The impact on the US dollar is far less than that of the British pound. Besides, why is it that the US dollar is over-issued, and the pound should also share the risk?
"Wait for the last supper, my dear." Ellen Wilson squeezed the hand of the richest woman. This time his opponent was not franc, nor was he drinking soup behind De Gaulle's back. He had to do it himself.
The two were waiting for a guest in Athens. The former commander of the British Army in Malaysia, General Scones, is now nearing retirement and is employed by the Arab League to train Arab troops. The building of forts around Israel to replicate the trench warfare model of World War I was carried out by Alan Wilson himself.
When the quality of the military is not as good as that of the opponent, the two opposing sides must avoid entering the other's comfort zone. All Middle East wars in Alan Wilson's mind, Arab hoplites
Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page to go. After the ^0^ regiment was resolved by the Israeli heavy corps, the Israeli army quickly turned its guns and rushed to the next target. Defeat all the attacking Arab front-line troops and the war is over.
The Arab world is very large, but among the individual Arab countries, there is no country that can support a strong army in war. The so-called strong army is not a military that can only fight one wave.
If a relatively weak party adopts the same combat mode as a strong enemy, there will usually be major tragedies. In the distance, Great Britain faced the Qing Dynasty, and in the near future, the French army went straight to Belgium in World War II, and was hit head-on by the German armored group on the way.
Compared with Israel, the overall strength of the Arab countries is on the upper hand, but the Arab countries have built their own armies into a one-off army. In the end, the Arab world can theoretically lose, but in fact, there is one that cannot afford to lose. The military, if it wants to survive, must adopt the Hezbollah model tortoise shell.
Although Ukraine, which also placed a turtle shell, was beaten by the Russian army as soon as it left the city, I believe that Israel and Russia are still incomparable.
After he resigned as the commander of the British army stationed in Malaysia, Scones was again hired to the Arab League to fortify the towns bordering Palestine and the Arab countries and Israel. No matter how elite the Israeli army is, it will eventually fall on the root of the bad war. It's not about forming hoplites and fighting against Israel.
Of course, Scones gave this strategy a name called containment strategy, while the British intelligence services deceived Israel on a fixed-point basis, which is the trench warfare of World War I, a combat mode that has long been eliminated.
"The border towns have been fortified, and the progress has been smooth, especially the Palestinian settlements. The local people have a high degree of acceptance." General Scones introduced his work in detail, and he did not use the money for nothing. Work is still very focused.
"Now that the general election is over, we are about to discuss the ownership of the Suez Canal with Egypt. I believe Cairo is ready. The bottom line of the UK is that after the canal is operated by Egypt, it must ensure the safety of this international golden waterway, and at the same time prohibit any country. Get involved, since the British army is not in the Suez Canal, no country can fill the British position.”
Alan Wilson explained the upcoming negotiations between the United Kingdom and Egypt, "The question now is whether Egypt can guarantee the safety of the Suez Canal under any conditions. We will use this as the basis and the Egyptian side. Discuss. Egypt and Israel are neighboring countries. Because of the danger of war on the Palestinian issue, from the perspective of the United Kingdom, I hope that there will be a solid line of defense on the border between Egypt and Israel, which cannot be breached by Israel. The two air defense towers must be Done."
As for whether it can be done or not, Alan Wilson gave Egypt the drawings of the Berlin air defense tower. The Berlin air defense tower can withstand the strategic bombing of the United States and the United States, and it should not be a problem to face the Israeli attack.
"It is also the last contribution we made to the safety of the canal before we left the canal~www.wuxiaspot.com~." Pamela Mountbatten said, two anti-aircraft towers are on the east bank of the Suez Canal to defend against the enemy's use of this The golden waterway is cut off. The completion of the air defense tower will cooperate with the surrounding fortress groups to contain the threat of Israeli ground forces.
General Scones expressed optimism about this, saying that the land conditions in the area where the air defense towers were built were good, and there would never be a bean curd project.
When the couple set off to return to London, they learned of the results of the British general election. Prince Munam of Egypt immediately set up a diplomatic team, and he personally took command to go to London for negotiations. Now, the dream that the Egyptians have been waiting for for many years, the realization is close at hand.
Egypt, the self-proclaimed leader of the Arab states, the most valuable canal was occupied by the British army. Although the Egyptian army had already taken over the defense with the British army during the Attlee period, the Mizi flag in the canal area did not disappear for a day, and the Egyptians always I feel that I have not regained all the national sovereignty, but the United Kingdom has exchanged many conditions, such as the right to garrison Zanzibar, technical support for the construction of the Aswan Dam, and preferential raw materials.
"The Egyptians are standing up!" Alan Wilson, who returned to London, said to his wife easily when he heard this.
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
