Chapter 1,373 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. Without oil, the conditions in India are incomparable. Food is the biggest problem of 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 really die. But for Pamela Mountbatten, food is not that important.

If the power over food can be shared to tie the interests of these emirates and the UK, it will be a huge help to Pamela Mountbatten's status. How much can food be sold for in a normal year?

"Dear, once the Bretton Woods system comes to an end, the currency at that time will no longer be the currency now. And what is currency? Currency needs physical support. Currency without physical support is just a piece of waste paper. It is foreseeable that every

Every year is the best year of the next ten years.”

"So serious?" Pamela Mountbatten's face turned solemn upon hearing this, and she whispered, "It's like a crown falling to the ground!"

"You can say that." As the husband of the richest woman, Alan Wilson didn't know what to say. Instead, he thought about whether the metaphor of his wife had any profound meaning.

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

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

crown.

This brilliant big crown is inlaid with diamonds into patterns of clovers and vines, and is densely packed into a gentle spire. Pamela’s mother Edwina wears this crown and shines on important social occasions, including the current Queen

At the coronation ceremony in 1953.

Pamela Mountbatten was also shocked by her husband's words that every year will be the best year in the next ten years, so she used the fall of the crown to compare this pessimistic prospect, "My dear, what on earth are you going to do?"

"The emirates surrounding Oman will become independent sooner or later, and we cannot allow them to remain in a protectorate state forever. Of course we will talk about the garrison of military bases. But the binding of interests is inevitable. It is too early to say some things now, but the United States is super

Hundreds of billions of dollars will be issued, which is likely to lead to major inflation. The UK must prepare early."

At this point, Alan Wilson changed his subject and began to express optimism again, "Of course, the crisis will pass sooner or later, but we must ensure that the UK has the ability to face the crisis alone. If other countries are asked to help, I don't want to have another Atlantic Charter anyway.

.I don’t know how much energy I wasted even after struggling.”

"It won't reach the point of the Great Depression, right?" Pamela Mountbatten said with a sullen face. The World War was caused by the Great Depression, although he had just been born at that time and had no memory.

"It's not that serious!" Alan Wilson said quickly, "It will definitely be difficult for a period of time, but it will have no impact on you."

How does it have anything to do with the Great Depression? In fact, the Great Inflation of the 1970s was not as good as the one under the Sleeping King in the 21st century.

Although the inflation in the United States at that time was more than 8 points, and at its peak in the late 1970s, it was more than 13 points, but the statistical standards of the two are different. At that time, the United States no longer counted housing prices.

One statistics includes 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. Americans are no exception since they live on earth.

When Reagan came to power, he only muddied the stagnant waters. He succeeded in suppressing inflation, but the U.S. economy was still stagnant. When Reagan stepped down, the U.S. economy began to stagnate again. The disappearance of inflation is his achievement. Really

Without inflation and rapid economic growth, the Soviet Union would have collapsed without a fight and ceded its sphere of influence, and a big country would have lowered its head and concentrated on running sweatshops. Only then could the world have achieved steady development for thirty years.

In Sleeping King, it was obvious that Russia would not be able to disintegrate again, and there was no other country with the same organizational power as a large country to do sweatshops. What should the United States do? Another old way is to have a world war, just look at the city on the hill.

Do you dare to activate this option?

If it drags on, a certain big country is not the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has almost no such thing as strategic determination. Reagan's operation of robbing the poor and giving money to the rich led him to admit defeat when he suspected that he could not win. It is impossible for a certain big country to compete with strategic determination.

The result is that you feel uncomfortable and I feel uncomfortable too. You say I have a cerebral infarction and I say you have a myocardial infarction. Let’s see who has the infarction first and is admitted to the intensive care unit.

So because the Bretton Woods system is about to disintegrate and the inflation caused by the oil crisis, what does it matter? Alan Wilson doesn't think it is a big problem anyway, and there is no danger in the 21st century.

"After we finish talking with Egypt, we will talk with the emirates of the Persian Gulf about sharing interests." Alan Wilson said, "I am doing everything for your best, just believe me, your husband will not harm you."

"

"That's true!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, thinking to herself that she might make her sister-in-law pregnant.

Alan Wilson went to Whitehall in his spare time to see what he had discussed with Prince Munnam and whether the handover treaty could give Britain a guarantee. After all, between the British mainland and Malaya, the Suez Canal cannot be bypassed.

If we promise not to take it down, the UK will not let go so easily.

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

It’s funny to see a man of the same status as her husband pretending to be indifferent even though he clearly cares. “Malaya is obviously so important, but you don’t dare to say it. But do you really think that Britain can

Preserve that colony forever?”

"I'm racing against time." Alan Wilson responded plainly, "Efforts may not necessarily pay off, and if you don't work hard, there will be nothing."

A recent example of hard work not always paying off is France. Alan Wilson was not referring to the run on gold, but to the colonial problem.

Is it Alan Wilson's original idea to introduce Chinese people to check and balance the local people to maintain colonial stability? Even in this world, he was not original.

France was the first to do this. France's colonies are close to a certain big country. After Japan's defeat, France had foreseen that independence movements might arise 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 joining forces.

At that time, the condition offered by France was to establish free trade zones in Saigon and Hanoi. The rights and interests of Chinese businessmen in French Indochina would be equal to those of French businessmen, and Vietnam would be recognized as having a special economic status for a major country. Isn't this a step further than Malaya now?

This is almost as close to the distance between China and France as a French colony, a big country, and Vietnam. France will definitely suffer a lot in the long run.

A comparison shows that France's original conditions were countless times more relaxed than those of Britain today, but France failed. 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 a border, Britain would have gone away today.

"A race against time? We are ready to join forces with Britain!" Anna nodded and revealed the news to a man of equal status to her husband.

"Huh? At the previous Stockholm meeting, didn't Germany support France's proposal to devalue the U.S. dollar 100%?" When Alan Wilson heard this, the head of the family became more energetic again.

"The Americans are avoiding this question. It seems you are right. The Americans are ready to throw the blame. Once the United States is ready, Deutsche Bank's US$70-80 billion will really become a credit currency, and it will no longer be gold that can be exchanged at any time.

.”

Anna sighed. If the Americans respond positively to France's proposition, Germany may not be able to make up its mind yet.

In the discussion in Bonn, the opinion in favor of France originally prevailed, but the United States has no intention of tightening monetary policy at all. How can this be done?

"It's better for us in the UK to understand the United States." Alan Wilson laughed. Financial hegemony is like taking drugs. You can't quit it with willpower. The UK is already very talkative, because its national power does not have an advantage over other powers. When using financial

When you are hegemonic, you are really restrained.

It's different when it comes to the United States. The United States has an overwhelming advantage in the free world, and its financial hegemony is much more embarrassing than the United Kingdom.

The United States turned a deaf ear to France's proposal that the dollar depreciate and continue to be tied to gold. It was not surprising to him. In a few decades, the amount of money will be trillions and trillions. It is impossible to reduce military spending. The food and clothing of millions of land workers depends on it.

, so many U.S. dollars have been issued when linked to gold, let alone tied to oil.

"You made the right choice. If you don't take action now, you won't even be able to get gold by then." Alan Wilson began to praise. 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’s up to our two countries. Deutsche Bank Group has the largest U.S. dollar reserves in Europe, and the London Stock Exchange is the largest international U.S. dollar distribution center in Europe. We still have a good chance of winning together."

"The Japanese also have a lot of U.S. dollars in their hands." Anna said, "What if Japan can also take advantage of it?"

"Stop making trouble, after all, Germany has three occupying forces. One US military stationed in Japan can take care of it. Japan can't do anything." Alan Wilson glanced at his head. Is this Mao girl really assimilated by the Germans? She inherited Germany's negative number.

General international perspective?

"When Britain and Egypt reach an agreement, we will study this matter carefully. Remember, once you make a decision, you must be firm when taking action."
