If the idea is to reach Algeria, this financial attack will take a turn for the worse. On a larger scale, it may lead to a rift between France and the United Kingdom. If the Free European Council cannot put an end to this risky idea, Alan Wilson can contact the CIA.
Chief, calm down Dennis.
"Ask that idiot, do the Americans want to fill the gap in ground weapons left by France's military power when it turns hostile?" Alan Wilson said seriously to Richard White.
Compared to the U.S. Army, Alan Wilson said without any lies that he still believed in the combat effectiveness of the French army. Although the French army was killed once by the Germans in World War II, it was nothing and they were just too late to react.
As for the U.S. Army, it was difficult for him to recall the time when it shouldered the expectations of the public, the Ardennes Counterattack? The Korean War, or the ongoing Vietnam War? It also expected to face the Soviet army.
In the ground battle, when NATO faced the Warsaw Pact, it was nothing more than dropping nuclear bombs when you came. Otherwise, how could we expect Patton to change?
Not to mention now, we can't expect it in a few decades. In the NATO military exercise, one Ukrainian company will defeat an American battalion, and in the Sino-Russian military exercise, one PLA battalion will defeat a Russian army regiment. However, when the Russian army encounters the Ukrainian army, Ukraine will not dare to do so.
When you leave the city, you can explode as you please, but I won’t go out anyway.
Attacks limited to the financial sector are easy to say. Inciting workers' protests in France is not a big deal. Now that they are reaching out to Algeria, which the French army has been fighting for many years and finally pacified, that is another matter. If France does not respond,
Didn’t so many French soldiers die in vain?
At this time, we cannot let a peripheral organization of the CIA run wild. Alan Wilson was not polite and directly moved out CIA Director Richard Helms and asked the Secretary-General to calm down and replace him if he no longer wanted to do it.
people.
"Report in a timely manner if there are any actions. Who asked you to make your own decisions?" Richard Helms made a direct call to Dennis from across the ocean. He educated the Secretary-General and asked him to cooperate with the British actions. The United States was in the process of
Europe did not have the energy to fully respond to the Vietnam War.
There are now more than half a million US troops stationed in Vietnam, and even the US troops stationed in Germany have been transferred. The current size of the US troops stationed in Germany is four divisions of the Seventh Army, the same as the British Rhine Army. As for the French garrison, since France withdrew from NATO
After that, two armies were withdrawn from Germany, and now only one army in Baden remains.
The United Kingdom is willing to teach France a lesson for running on gold. At this juncture, the United States is naturally happy to see the result, but the United States is not willing to fall out with the French. At present, the enemy cannot target the French, as the British say,
Financial attacks will not lead to a falling out with the French, but real manipulation of the Algeria issue will not necessarily result.
De Gaulle's Fifth Republic was not a completely democratically elected government. Algeria's military control has never been relaxed, and it is not a place that can be flirted with casually.
After educating his subordinates, Richard Helms got in touch with Alan Wilson and thanked Britain for its help at this time. Britain and the United States will properly educate France's thorn in the side this time, but will control it within appropriate limits.
scale.
The Federal Reserve was also preparing for a counterattack against France's run on gold, and also approved the plan to mess up France first. Soon the CIA received intelligence analysis from London.
For the student population, this is a generation of restless people who no longer want to endure the rigid, disciplined and crowded university life, not to mention the prospect of being expelled after just one year of university or losing their job after graduation. When Nan Tai
When the University of Paris was closed and students from the Sorbonne University occupied the campus to show solidarity, the De Gaulle authorities began to send police to clear the place.
The appreciation pressure on the franc caused by the run on the golden point has weakened the export competition of French goods. For France, someone always has to pay the price, and the student group who have not yet faced life independently bear the brunt.
Paris, as an old revolutionary area, often plays the role of changing the government for the French, but whether it brings glory or ruin is a matter of opinion.
If France had not been full of internal strife, it would not have been so easily settled by the British during the colonial era. Since the citizens of Paris have a tradition of leading revolutions, there is nothing wrong with this.
In essence, Alan Wilson regarded this provocation as a yellow vest movement. You see, the French wore yellow vests to protest because of some nonsense. It really happened that Russia was trying to blame the blame, which caused all energy and food prices to rise, but the yellow vest movement took off.
It has disappeared. Isn’t it clear who is the supporter behind it?
Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman had arrived in London. When Alan Wilson took the time to come over to visit, he looked left and right and asked, "Where is my son?"
Hedy Lamarr asked herself when she heard this, and replied, "Why is the Soviet Union calling? Look at you, he is studying in Vienna."
"I really can't do anything to you." Alan Wilson smiled but didn't smile. There was a Swedish queen who wouldn't let him see her son. What's wrong with this? "Well, it's not a big deal. As long as it's not in Paris."
"What happened in Paris?" Ingrid Bergman asked her two daughters to sit aside and asked the man what happened in Paris.
"I heard that students in Paris are going to protest on May 6th? Is that possible?" Seeing the two women nodding, Alan Wilson continued, "Paris has always been the center of the revolution. You are protesting.
It’s better not to be in Paris, but to stay in England for a while. Vivian has a place to live.”
It doesn’t need to be said clearly. The two movie queens are temporarily living in London. As a supreme authority, in London, he can speak more effectively than God.
"Will the protest expand?" Hedy Lamarr looked frightened. "But having said that, if you want to run away but also take a woman with you, if the Soviets really start fighting, it may delay your escape.
efficiency."
"When the Soviets come, I will resist to the end." Alan Wilson said decisively, "This is the basic conduct of a patriot."
He must have been very busy recently, and he didn't even have time to talk about manned spaceflight with his two wives of equal status, because his wife, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, was quickly raising funds to prepare for emergencies.
"Twenty-five billion pounds!" Pamela Mountbatten reported her victory results to her husband. Pamela Mountbatten herself actually had very little cash in her hands due to a run on gold. Most of it was working capital from major British banks.
, "Where is the foreign aid you are looking for?"
"You will know by then that they are not British." Alan Wilson answered vaguely. The Dragoon Sisters should be his greatest achievement besides Pamela Mountbatten.
The Deutsche Mark is a strong currency in Europe, and it has been well known since 1958, let alone now ten years later.
I wonder how much capital the Dragoon sisters, who have continued to accumulate wealth after so many years, can mobilize now? Maybe no less than Pamela Mountbatten.
It was less troublesome to do something about the franc because there was a Payments Union in Europe. Intra-European trade recovered faster after the war because the European Payments Union allowed participating countries to settle bonds and counterclaims with each other. Each country held a "European Unit of Account"
A balance is maintained at EPU, defined as 0.g of gold, the assumed gold content of one dollar.
Each month the EMU clears claims and counterclaims, and each country must settle its net claims with the EMU. Monthly clearings ensure that the EPU does not evolve into the liquidity machine that Keynesians dreamed of,
Although modest amounts of funds can be borrowed to offset short-term fluctuations in the balance of payments.
The irony is that this was established under the initiative of the French. This time, the French franc can be attacked through this payment institution established by the French. It can be said to be a Trojan horse.
"When will the attack on the franc begin?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, when was the so-called opportunity?
"On May 6th, the French Student Union will hold a nationwide demonstration. This is determined by the National Federation of French Students. On that day you will know that a single spark can start a prairie fire." Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow to signal his wife to calm down.
"It takes time for saplings to grow into towering trees, doesn't it?"
As long as the parade starts, you can take advantage of troubled waters. Once you fall into unconscious chaos, there are many places you can maneuver.
Time soon arrived on May 6th, and a massive demonstration was held as scheduled. Soon, students and police clashed. Tear gas was fired for the first time in the Latin Quarter, and roadblocks were first built on Boulevard Saint-Germain.
The students knocked down barricades and threw rocks at the police to force them to retreat, while the police used high-pressure water hoses and sticks to deal with them. Inside the police station, they beat the arrested students severely and threw them into the police station.
The spark in the old revolutionary quarter was finally ignited, and almost immediately, the British Embassy in Paris was able to report current affairs to London and inform Whitehall of every move in Paris.
"It is extremely appropriate to incite the students now." Alan Wilson held the microphone and discussed with Richard White on the other side of the microphone. "Use the leader you are optimistic about and fire at that strongman who is stubborn and unable to listen to the voice of the public."
As the sun sets, the barricades of Saint-Germain Boulevard are still standing, as if telling people what happened here during the day, and that things will not end so simply. Students who are full of youth are brewing a new round of protests.
"Those cannon fodder." Alan Wilson mocked unscrupulously in front of several movie queens. "I remember that one of the reasons for the establishment of the student organization in March was because they were not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory? A bunch of stinky hooligans pretending to beg for help for the people.
, Paris is a city where anything can happen.”
But it doesn’t matter what one of the sources is. Each group has its own pursuit. Auto workers want to change their lives of working eight to ten hours a day and being supervised by their superiors employed by the company.
Train and bus drivers want to be able to control their shifts, have enough time to rest, read and discuss... and even participate in the management of their own industry and society.
Farmers discuss with workers and city dwellers how best to produce and distribute their products, and the government helps farmers purchase seeds and farm equipment.
And this all requires an opportunity. The reason for the opportunity itself is not important, as long as it occurs.
