British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1373: race against time

Alan Wilson knows the weakness of these countries, food! The Middle East and North Africa can be said to be short of everything except oil. If there is no oil, the conditions in India are incomparable. Food is the biggest problem in these countries!

For these countries, food security is more important than anything else. If you don't burn oil, you won't die. If you don't eat food, you will. For Pamela Mountbatten, food is not that important.

If the power of grain can be used to share the interests of these emirates and the United Kingdom, it will greatly help Pamela Mountbatten's status. How much food can be sold in normal years.

"My dear, once the Bretton Woods system came to an end, the currency of that time was not the currency of today. And what is the currency, the currency needs physical support. The currency without physical backing is a piece of waste paper. It is foreseeable that every One year has been the best year of the next decade."

"So serious?" Pamela Mountbatten's face became solemn and she whispered, "It's like a crown has fallen!"

"The same can be said." As the husband of the richest woman, Alan Wilson didn't know what to say at once, but wondered whether the analogy of his wife was meaningful.

In fact, it is very simple. The Queen of Sarawak is just a name, but Pamela Mountbatten really has a crown to inherit, the kind that is worn on her head.

Marshal Mountbatten is a descendant of Queen Victoria, and the Victorian era was the peak of Britain. Mountbatten promised Patricia the title, but gave some iconic properties to his younger daughter for safekeeping, including a large crown.

This dazzling big crown is inlaid with diamonds in the pattern of clover and vine, and it is densely surrounded by a gentle spire. Pamela's mother, Edwina, wore the tiara on social occasions, including the coronation of the current Queen in 1953.

Pamela Mountbatten was also taken aback by her husband's statement that every year is the best year for the next ten years, so she used the crown to fall to the pessimistic prospect, "Dear, what are you going to do?"

"The emirates around Oman will become independent sooner or later, and we can't keep them in protectorate status forever. Of course we will talk about the garrison of military bases. But the binding of interests is inevitable. Some things are too early to say, but the United States is beyond Hundreds of billions of dollars are being issued, which is likely to bring about big inflation. The UK has to prepare early.”

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson changed his words and began to express optimism again, "Of course, the crisis will pass sooner or later, but we have to make sure that the UK has the ability to face the crisis alone. If we let other countries help, I don't want to do another Atlantic Charter anyway. I don't even know how much energy I wasted when I struggled."

"Isn't it going to be the Great Depression?" Pamela Mountbatten said with a sullen face. The World War was caused by the Great Depression, although he had no memory of being born at that time.

"It's not that serious!" Alan Wilson said that the optimism he instilled was not enough, and said quickly, "It must be a difficult period of time, but it has no effect on you."

How did it relate to the Great Depression? In fact, the Great Inflation in the 1970s was not as good as the one under the Sleeping King in the 21st century.

Although the US inflation at that time was more than 8 o'clock, and the peak in the late 1970s was more than 13 o'clock, the statistical standards of the two were different. At that time, the United States did not count house prices. In the 1970s, Primary statistics include real estate.

Don't underestimate this difference. In fact, real estate in large economies is an important indicator to support the economy. There is no exception at all. Since Americans live on the earth, it is no exception.

When Reagan came to power, he only muddled the stagnant waters. He managed to suppress inflation, but the US economy was still standing still. When Reagan stepped down, the US economy began to stagnate again, but the disappearance of inflation was his achievement. If there were no inflation and rapid economic growth, the Soviet Union would have to collapse without a fight, surrendering its sphere of influence, and a certain big country had a low head and concentrated on working as a sweatshop, and then the world could develop steadily for 30 years.

At that time, it was obvious that it was impossible for Russia to disintegrate once, and there was no second country with the same organizational power as a major country to do a sweatshop. What should the United States do? Another old way is World War, it's up to the city on the hill to start this choice.

If it drags on, a certain big country is not the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union has almost no strategic strength. It is impossible for a certain big country to directly admit defeat if he suspects that he can’t win because of Reagan’s operation of robbing the poor and helping the rich. The result is that you are uncomfortable and I am also uncomfortable. If you say I have a cerebral infarction, I say you have a myocardial infarction, and see who will be admitted to the intensive care unit first.

So because the Bretton Woods system is about to disintegrate and the inflation brought about by the oil crisis, what is it? Alan Wilson doesn't think it's a big problem anyway, not as dangerous as the twenty-first century.

"When the talks with Egypt are over, talk to the emirates of the Persian Gulf about shared interests." Alan Wilson said that I'm all for your own good, "Just trust me, your husband will not harm you. "

"That's true!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, thinking in her heart that it might make her sister-in-law bigger.

Alan Wilson went to Whitehall in his spare time to see what he had talked about with Prince Munum, and whether the handover treaty could give Britain a guarantee. After all, between the British mainland and Malaya, the Suez Canal cannot be bypassed. This Guaranteed not to take it down, the United Kingdom will not let go so easily.

Ms. Anna came back from Bonn, just in time for this very critical time.

It's funny to see a man of the same status as her husband who is obviously very concerned, but still pretends to be indifferent, "You dare not say it when Malaya is so important. But you really think that the UK can Keep that colony forever?"

"I'm in a race against time." Alan Wilson replied flatly, "Efforts may not pay off, and if you don't work hard, you will not."

A recent example where hard work does not necessarily pay off is France. Alan Wilson was not referring to the run on gold, but the colonial problem.

Is it Alan Wilson's original trick to introduce Chinese people to check and balance the local peoples to maintain the stability of the colony? Even in this world, he is not original.

The first thing that did this was France. The French colonies and a certain big country were next to each other. After the defeat of Japan, France had foreseen that the independence movement might be one after another. For this reason, France thought about how to quell the resistance after the war, so it decided to cooperate with Vietnam. Thousands of years of nightmares join forces.

At that time, the conditions set by France were to establish free trade zones in Saigon and Hanoi, and the rights and interests of Chinese businessmen in French Indochina were equal to those of French businessmen, and Vietnam was recognized as a special economic status for a major state. Isn't this a step further than what is happening in Malaya now?

This is almost close to the French colony under Sino-French co-administration. The distance between a certain big country and Vietnam, France will definitely suffer in the long run.

From a comparison, we can see that the conditions in France at the beginning were many times more relaxed than those in Britain today, but France failed, and Britain has not failed at least yet. The reason is that Malaya is separated by the South China Sea, and Britain happens to be stronger than the navy. If it were also bordered, Britain would have been **** long ago today.

"A race against time? We're going to join forces with Britain!" Anna nodded and revealed the news to a man of the same status as her husband.

"Huh? In the previous Stockholm meeting, didn't Germany support France's proposition and let the dollar depreciate by 100%?" Alan Wilson's spirit came up again when he heard the head of the family.

"Americans avoid this question. It seems that you are right. The Americans are ready to blow the pot. Once the United States is ready, Deutsche Bank's seven or eight billion dollars will really become credit currency, not gold that can be exchanged at any time. ."

Anna sighed. If the Americans responded positively to France's claims, Germany would not necessarily be able to make up their minds.

During the discussion in Bonn, the French opinion was supposed to have the upper hand, but the United States did not intend to tighten its monetary base at all. How can this be done?

"It's the UK that understands the US." Alan Wilson laughed, financial hegemony is like a drug, and there is no way to get rid of it with willpower. The United Kingdom is already a good talker, because its national strength does not have an advantage over other powers, and it is really restrained when it uses financial hegemony~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is different when it is replaced by the United States. The United States is basically overwhelming in the free world. The advantage of getting financial hegemony is much more ugly than the British.

The United States has turned a deaf ear to France's claim that the devaluation of the dollar will continue to be bound to gold. It is not surprising to him. After a few decades, it will be hundreds of trillions of dollars. It is impossible to reduce military spending. , the linked gold has exceeded the issuance of so many dollars, not to mention the linked oil.

"Your choice is correct. If you don't do it now, you won't even be able to get gold." Alan Wilson praised, the Germans made the right choice after all, "Now France has already run on gold a few years ago. We ran out of ammunition in the process, and now it depends on our two countries, Deutsche Bank Group has the largest US dollar reserves in Europe, and the London trading market is the largest international US dollar distribution center in Europe.

"The Japanese also have a lot of dollars in their hands." Anna said, "What if Japan could also take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Don't make trouble, Germany has the occupying forces of the Three Kingdoms anyway, and Japan can do it with a single US military stationed in Japan. Japan can't do anything." Alan Wilson glanced at his head, is this Mao girl really assimilated by the Germans? Inherited the general international vision of Germany's negative numbers?

"When the UK and Egypt are settled, we will study this matter carefully. Remember, as long as you make a decision, you must be firm when you do it."
