"Of course, I don't deny that she is good." Alan Wilson made a double entendre in his evaluation of the senior members of the Conservative Party, especially when she was called Margaret.
The trip was not over yet. He stayed at night on the outskirts of the city. When the sky was dark, he opened the window and leaned out. The dusk was already fading. The farm houses and waterwheel cages were blurred, showing a light blue color; the apple orchard
There was only a dark wilderness; the smell of wood smoke from the kitchen could be smelled in the air.
A bird that had not yet returned to its nest was chirping in low spirits, as if it were surprised to see the night. The snorting and hooves of a feeding horse could be heard in the stable.
The wilderness loomed in the distance, and the shy stars that were not bright enough in the distance were embedded in the deep blue sky. A trembling owl hooted. The Cabinet Secretary took a deep breath.
.What a beautiful morning, how nice to go out for a walk!
"You can't sleep if you change places, right?" Pamela Mountbatten's still confused voice came from behind. She knew that her husband had a problem with falling asleep in a strange place.
"If I come here again next time, the situation will definitely 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 of the unfamiliar environment.
"Next time? I don't know when it will be." Pamela Mountbatten woke up slowly, and she was extremely immune to this bad check. She was an important member of the royal family, the daughter of the British Admiral, and she went all out for this man.
After completing all his plans, he had a chance to be alone together. Do you still hope for the next time?
The British general election has just ended, and Harold Wilson's government has not replaced any cabinet ministers, so it still uses the same team of people to deal with some important meetings at the moment. This also includes the financial summit in Stockholm, where Finance Minister James Callaghan participated
This meeting.
The so-called "laws of economics" are shackles thrown by the strong to 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, etc.
American countries have implemented foreign exchange liberalization, while Western Europe, which is known as the most developed market economy, has always implemented strict foreign exchange controls and its currency is not freely convertible.
Foreign exchange and capital controls are decisions made based on national conditions, and cannot mechanically copy certain "theories" or succumb to external pressure.
Soon, the opportunity for Western Europe to solve the dollar shortage finally came. The coin flipped to the other side, which was the dollar disaster. The excessive issuance of the dollar put the Bretton Woods system in jeopardy. A total of ten countries participated in this financial summit, except Japan.
In addition, the heavyweight members are still Britain, France and Germany.
France has come up with its own plan. The Bretton Woods system still needs to be maintained. In order to solve the problem of excessive issuance of the US dollar, the exchange rate of thirty-five US dollars per ounce can be changed to seventy US dollars per ounce, and the US dollar can be allowed to depreciate 100%.
But the Bretton Woods system will continue to be implemented.
Federal German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt supports France's proposal and believes that a devaluation of the US dollar is 100% feasible.
"This is not a slap on the dollar's butt, it's clearly a slap on the pound's face." Alan Wilson, who was about to go home, said to his wife, "After the war, successive governments controlled fiscal expenditures and forced me to look around the world for commodities to support the pound.
What is it for? The UK dare not say that it did not overissue the pound. After all, the pound was also used as the foreign exchange reserve of many countries before the war, but compared with the current US dollar, it is extremely restrained. Once the US dollar depreciates by 100%, will the pound also depreciate?
.But the Bretton Woods system is centered on the US dollar, and the British pound is at best a backup tire."
"Can you tighten money and reduce the fiscal deficit?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, what would happen if the French suggestions were followed?
"It can be done, but the United States won't do it. Why should we do it?" Alan Wilson snorted, "The expenditure of half a million US troops is huge. However, since the spring offensive, the scale of the US military has been reduced repeatedly, but the expenditure has been
Not much less. Does this sound like you’re preparing to cut back on spending?”
Pamela Mountbatten asked to look it up and found out. Alan Wilson said, "Don't be so naive. If possible, why doesn't the United States avoid participating in the war?"
The U.S. military does not recycle armaments during wars. Even if it withdraws, it will leave the used armaments in the warring country. Even if there is a risk of being used by the enemy, it must do so. First of all, it is easy to write off the accounts. Once all the armaments are seized by the enemy, the loss will be
How much of nature is just a fog.
When the U.S. military withdrew from Vietnam, they handed over a large amount of the armaments they used to the local pro-American regime. Even Thailand received a lot. As a result, the armaments captured by North Vietnam suddenly armed millions of troops. This loss was a huge loss.
The accounts are confusing, no one knows how the US military reports its accounts.
The United States is the great emperor of the world, and the United Kingdom is just a self-destructed supreme. The current settlement share is largely based on resting on its laurels and adopting the same radical policy. The impact on the U.S. dollar is far less than that of the British pound. Besides, why is the U.S. dollar the one that is over-issuing?
, the British pound should also follow the equalization of risk?
"Wait to enjoy the last supper, my dear." Ellen Wilson squeezed the little hand of the richest woman. This time the opponent was not the franc, nor was she drinking soup behind de Gaulle. She had to make enough food and clothing by herself.
The two were waiting for a guest in Athens, General Sconce, the former commander of the British troops stationed in Malaysia. Now General Sconce is approaching retirement and was hired by the Arab League to train the Arab army. They built a fortress group around Israel to replicate the trench warfare of World War I.
The model was executed by himself for Alan Wilson.
When the enemy's troops are not as good as their opponents, they must avoid entering each other's comfort zone. In the previous Middle East wars in Alan Wilson's mind, after the Arab heavy armored corps was eliminated by the Israeli heavy armored corps, the Israeli army quickly turned its guns and pounced.
The next goal is to defeat all the attacking Arab front-line troops and the war will be 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 army that is so strong does not mean that it can only fight in waves.
If a relatively weak side adopts the same combat mode as a strong enemy, major tragedies will usually occur. In the distant past, the British faced off against the Qing Dynasty. In recent times, in World War II, the French army went straight to Belgium and was hit head-on by a German armored group on the way.
Compared with Israel, the overall strength of the Arab countries is on the advantage side, but the Arab countries have built their own armies into disposable armies. In the end, the Arab world can theoretically afford to lose, but in fact there is an army that cannot afford to lose.
If the army wants to be able to withstand it, it must adopt the tortoise shell of the Hezbollah model.
Although Ukraine, which also acted like a tortoise shell, was beaten by the Russian army as soon as it left the city, I believe that Israel and Russia are still incomparable.
After Sconce resigned as commander of the British forces stationed in Malaysia, he was hired again by the Arab League to fortify Palestine and towns bordering Arab countries and Israel. No matter how elite the Israeli army is, it will eventually fall into the trap of fighting a bad war.
It is not about forming a heavily armed corps to attack Israel.
Of course, Scones gave this strategy a name called containment strategy, and the British intelligence agency conducted targeted deception on Israel. It was the trench warfare of World War I, a combat mode that had long since been eliminated.
"The fortification of border towns has been progressing quite smoothly, especially in Palestinian settlements. The local people have accepted it very well." General Sconce introduced his work in detail. He did not use his spare money for nothing. He was very interested in this project.
I am still very attentive to my work.
"Now that the election is over, we are about to discuss the ownership of the Suez Canal with Egypt. I believe Cairo is ready. The bottom line for the UK is that after the canal is operated by Egypt, it must ensure the safety of this international golden waterway and prohibit any country from doing so.
Since the British army is not in the Suez Canal, no country can fill the British position."
Alan Wilson talked about the upcoming negotiations between Britain 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 for negotiating with Egypt."
Discussion. Egypt and Israel are neighboring countries. Because of the danger of war over the Palestinian issue, from the British perspective, it is hoped that a solid defense line will appear on the border between Egypt and Israel that cannot be broken through by Israel. The two air defense towers must be
Completed.”
As for whether it can be done, anyway, Alan Wilson gave the blueprints of the Berlin air defense tower to Egypt. The Berlin air defense tower can withstand British and American strategic bombing, so it should not be a problem in the face of Israeli attack.
"This can be regarded as our last contribution to the safety of the canal before we leave the canal." Pamela Mountbatten said, two air defense towers are on the east bank of the Suez Canal to prevent enemies from cutting off this golden waterway. Air defense towers
Once completed, it will cooperate with the surrounding fortress groups to curb the threat of Israeli ground forces.
General Sconce expressed optimism about this, saying that the land conditions in the areas where the air defense towers are to be built are good and there will definitely be no shoddy projects.
When the couple set out to return to London, they learned of the results of the British general election. Prince Munam of Egypt immediately formed a diplomatic team, and he personally headed to London for negotiations. Before Prince Munam even set off, the whole of Egypt was already in a state of shock.
Now, the dream that the Egyptians have been waiting for for many years is coming true.
Egypt, which claims to be the leader of Arab countries, has its most valuable canal occupied by the British army. Although during the Attlee period, the Egyptian army and the British army jointly took over the defense, the Union Jack flag in the canal zone does not disappear for a day. The Egyptians always
I feel that the country's sovereignty was not fully regained, but that the British gave up a lot of conditions in exchange, such as the right to garrison troops in Zanzibar, technical support for the construction of the Aswan Dam, and preferential treatment of raw materials.
"The Egyptians have stood up!" Alan Wilson, who returned to London, heard this situation and said to his wife easily.
