Of course it makes sense, and the Germans are not stupid. In this round of confrontation between the United States and France, a simple comparison is that the national power of the United States far exceeds that of France. If a run on gold can topple the United States, then the United States, the world hegemon, is too fragile.
Already.
The Bretton Woods system does have weaknesses, but it is not a broken house. The French will collapse with one kick. In the end of the Bretton Woods system, Britain, France and Germany all have a share, but there are particularities in when to take action. Eurodollar
The sharp increase in offshore U.S. dollar funds in the market has made the growing turbulence of the U.S. dollar even worse.
The rapid expansion of the number of Eurodollars has greatly expanded the currency trading financial instruments of multinational companies and investment enterprises. Such offshore currency transactions are not regulated, which further worsens the fragility of US finance and makes the US more vulnerable to international financial shocks.
.
I understand the truth, but things cannot be judged so simply. France’s economic aggregate is only 17% of that of the United States. Who would believe that France can win? The British economy is 26% of that of the United States. Now the British economy is not
Are you also going to consolidate your imperial preferential system honestly? The total economic output of the UK is almost the proportion of the population of the UK and the US.
In the past twenty years, Alan Wilson has made a small contribution to the country. I dare not say that he has much merit. Anyway, he is better than the late former Prime Minister of the British Empire Churchill last year.
Holding the newspaper that Churchill's son, Conservative MP Randolph Churchill, had unfortunately suffered a traffic accident, Alan Wilson walked to the window and looked at the busy traffic outside. "For the unfortunate death of MP Churchill, all colleagues in the Cabinet and Whitehall are listening."
They are all very sad.”
"Yes, it's unfortunate news." Grace took a puff of her cigar and said with a relaxed face, "We all understand that in fact, there is also luck in the misfortune, and driving under the influence is not a good idea."
"Yes, so citizens should take warning. The definition of drunk driving should be an issue that needs to be taken seriously." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, "In this way, Senator Churchill will not die in vain. His death will not be in vain."
Death is considered very valuable."
"But having said that, what are the punishment standards for drunk driving in the UK? Don't make my people feel too uncomfortable." Grace still has to protect his subordinates. It's okay to be a white glove, but he can't be beaten to death.
You can rest assured about this. Alan Wilson promised that he would not fall out with his long-term partner. "The driver's license will be revoked for one year. After all, no one wants such an unfortunate incident to happen. By the way, how is Rhodesia lately?"
"It's not very good. The south is in chaos right now. The railway line we use to transport copper ore is always affected. Now we use Mozambique to export. We also want to build a terminal on the Zambezi River bordering Mozambique to go to sea." Gray
Si said with a serious face, "As I said at that time, sooner or later the black people will make trouble. Isn't that the case in Southern Rhodesia now? The same will happen in South Africa sooner or later. Don't think that it's okay because there are more white people in South Africa. There are more black people there.
many."
"Well, you people from the Balkans should understand." Alan Wilson admired the other party's foresight, and then said, "Maybe in a few years, a railway will appear in your territory and Nyerere's."
"Does the country have this plan?" Grace said with some surprise, "I know that Nyerere has this idea and has asked many countries for help, but it seems that they have all been rejected."
"Someone will always take action, but in this case, it is inevitable that you will have to establish certain economic ties with the newly independent black countries. I originally thought you would object." Alan Wilson chuckled. What did Grace just say?
Southern Rhodesia and South Africa will be finished sooner or later.
"There are no black people in our royal territory. As long as they don't come over, it's not impossible to contact them. I remember your saying that distance brings beauty." Grace said nonchalantly, "After independence, stay in your own country honestly.
, there’s nothing we can’t live with. We don’t want to kill all the black people in Africa. The current land is enough for us to live on.”
Alan Wilson still inevitably reminded that that is not your land, but the British crown territory. It is best not to have any misunderstandings about this kind of thing.
In the end, Southern Rhodesia inevitably followed the old path in history, and the struggle between whites and blacks for the dominance of Rhodesia began. However, for now, the whites still have the advantage, and many of the white Rhodesian armed forces
Like Ian Smith, he served in the British Army and participated in World War II, the most famous of which were the Rhodesian Special Air Service Squadron and the Selusi Reconnaissance Unit.
Not only do most members of these troops have participated in many combat operations during World War II and after the war, and they have extremely rich special operations experience, but they also master complete military training methods and can provide comprehensive training for other troops without military experience. Their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of those who resist.
Black men armed.
Moreover, Southern Rhodesia is bounded by South Africa to the south, Mozambique controlled by Portugal to the east, and the royal territory of Rhodesia where Grace is located to the north. The black armed forces in Southern Rhodesia are isolated from all sides. They cannot defeat Southern Rhodesia by themselves alone.
What about white people in West Asia?
However, sporadic armed conflicts have inevitably affected Grace and others, because the minerals exported from Northern Rhodesia are exported through South Africa and have to pass through Southern Rhodesia. The current instability in Southern Rhodesia will definitely affect these
The interests of the remnants of the Balkans.
"By the way, I haven't seen Madam this time. Is it because she hasn't come back from Perth yet?" Grace asked, shouldn't Pamela Mountbatten be staying in London at this time? Why didn't he see her? This is too much.
It was too much, so he helped kill Churchill's son.
"She has been busy recently. She is not in London." Alan Wilson quickly spoke to reassure her, "She went to the European continent for inspection and will not be back until a few days later."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the reaction of the Anglo-German Financial Summit a week ago, the French have already given it. The Bank of France announced that it intends to transfer all new inflows of US dollar reserves and some of them
Existing dollar reserves were converted into gold.
In order to strengthen his severe criticism of the laissez-faire fiscal policy of the United States, President de Gaulle proposed two global currency reform plans. His ambitious goal was to strengthen the role of gold in the global monetary system. To ban the international reserve currency status of the US dollar and the British pound was to
"Gold has no nationality and is eternally and universally accepted."
Finance Minister Giscard d'Estaing reiterated France's claim. d'Estaing denounced the United States for enjoying the super hegemony of the U.S. dollar: The United States issued depreciating U.S. dollar bills without restrictions and made large-scale investments overseas this time, reaping huge benefits from it.
The so-called Anglo-German financial summit has not frightened the French at all so far. The French still believe that France will never lose in the choice between the US dollar and gold.
The financial center of the European continent is in Switzerland. Pamela Mountbatten went to Zurich and prepared to get what she deserved under the cover of the French. As for the main source of funds, it was through HSBC in Hong Kong and Sarawak in Malaya.
It is operated by the Laois Development Bank.
It would be better for Grace not to know about this matter. Alan Wilson also wanted to do something good for this Rhodesian festival. Of course, Grace's visit this time was not in vain. He and three people representing different forces came here to receive the award.
in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Crown Territory of Rhodesia.
The standards for the award were quite high, and it was held at Buckingham Palace. Alan Wilson even went there to enjoy the event, and his sister-in-law also came here specifically to add color to the award.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, except for the unfortunate death of Senator Churchill due to drunk driving. Of course, the perpetrator is frightened and cannot leave immediately. He has to wait until the limelight has passed.
"What has Mr. Turing been busy with recently?" Alan Wilson asked in a businesslike tone about the recent schedule of Her Royal Highness, the greatest scientist in modern Britain.
"Aren't you trapped by the work you arranged? The Royal Semiconductor Research Institute." Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at the supreme authority when she heard this. In the eyes of others, this may be to protect her husband.
But both parties involved understood that the princess was secretly poking at the connotation of supreme authority, and her conscience was greatly damaged. She arranged so many tasks for the princess's husband, while she took over the most important work for others.
"The semiconductor industry is extremely important to the UK and involves economic development." Alan Wilson spoke sternly. He was thinking about the future of the UK.
Europe has recently been dominated by a war of words between Britain and France, with the UK accusing France of undermining the free world's financial order and saying it would not stand idly by.
France accuses the UK of being a Trojan horse within Europe. France has roped in Belgium and Italy, and the UK has roped in Germany and Sweden, spitting its tongue inside Europe.
Britain patted its chest and assured the United States that it would never let the French jump too high while the United States was busy with the war. This made the United States feel relieved a little and began to concentrate on dealing with the Vietnam issue.
At the same time, new changes also occurred on the battlefield in Vietnam. The United States reorganized the South Vietnamese army and the Korean army and started a mopping-up mode in areas close to North Vietnam. It strived to clean up the troops that had infiltrated into Vietnam. Although the United Kingdom did not participate in the war, it
Military advisers were secretly sent to observe and accumulate combat experience to see if it could be used in Indonesia one day.
In addition to the nominal military advisers, there are also British intelligence agencies stationed in South Vietnam. In addition to highlighting the special relationship between Britain and the United States, there are also individuals who are secretly investigating war crimes. The relationship between Britain and the United States is so good, of course, it cannot be against them.
They are not looking into the atrocities committed by the US military, but are looking to see if the Korean Japs will let themselves go.
