"As expected of a family." Alan Wilson opened his mouth wide, praising the unity among the royal family members, but having said that, who can be exempt from common customs? After all, a family is different from outsiders.
If someone proposes to settle with diamonds, will he not spit in his face? Standard man-made demand products, even if they are not completely worthless, don't even think about fooling him.
But Alexeev came over and said this, but he still did not refuse them all, saying that diamonds of more than ten carats were not unnecessarily negotiable. At the critical moment, he still wanted to take care of the son of the tsar.
"What does the Cabinet think of this?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, Harold Wilson, what he thought of this matter.
"He is happy, who is unhappy when he sees gold? Gold is naturally..." Alan Wilson suddenly got stuck. He originally wanted to say that gold is naturally currency, but when he thought about the fact that he was still the youngest senator in the United States at this time, he was sleeping.
After banning Russian gold, I suddenly felt not so sure again.
Such counter-intuitive things can happen when hegemony is in hand. We cannot say that a city on a hill is stupid. The key is that there are no competitors.
France's national strength has been weakened a bit by the talk of the EU, as is the case with all talkers, not to mention that the EU is full of disciples supported by the United States, so why doesn't the United States try to follow its words?
In the end, Alan Wilson and Hao Daer reached an agreement. They would first ship two hundred tons of gold and put it in London, and exchange it for pounds to buy grain. If there was enough, the British would exchange the pounds back for gold. There was no need to worry that Britain would default on the debt. The Soviet Union was too
Stronger.
In fact, before the negotiations were concluded, the ambassadors of the two most populous countries had already started working, talking about exchanging precious foreign exchange reserves for food that could be grown at any time.
During the settlement negotiations, the Soviet Union could export steel and cement to the United Kingdom to offset part of the gold settlement share, which would be used for the reconstruction of Bangladesh. It is best not to use Malaya's industrial capacity for this matter, but to suddenly increase industrial production capacity and wait until the reconstruction is completed.
If so, there may be a backlog in Malaya.
The Soviet Union has such a large production capacity, it doesn't matter if it is more or less. If the same requirement is 5 million tons of steel, the Soviet Union with an annual output of 140 to 500 million tons is obviously easier to adjust than Malaya with an annual output of 35 million tons.
The news that the Soviet Union replenished its domestic grain reserves did not cause fluctuations in international grain prices. Even after the news appeared, international grain prices fell because the Soviet Union's demand ended this year.
Alan Wilson believed that the Soviet Union must be paying close attention to the changes in international food prices and looking for opportunities to enter the market, and the results will definitely be seen within two months.
At this time, the cabinet, prime minister and ministers were happy with the news that two hundred tons of gold had arrived in London. There was less intrigue and intrigue in No. 10 Downing Street, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Alan Wilson took the telegram from the grain ship departing from Dalian and gave Alexeyev a reassurance, "Look, isn't this possible? I believe there will be good news in Mumbai soon."
"The United Kingdom really has the means." Alexeyev felt complicated. The two most populous countries at least had good relations with the Soviet Union now or before, but the United Kingdom could do what it said.
"Because we in the UK are a truly imperialist country, it is useless to talk about class sentiments with the UK. It is more useful to talk about money. As for India, it is our original colony." Alan Wilson said with pride.
He puffed up his chest proudly and said, "The Soviet Union can't do this, otherwise it will be considered as forcing debt, but we can do it."
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Looking at the invincible face of this old-style imperialism, Alexeyev was furious, "I conquered the largest country in Southeast Asia in one day in Indonesia."
"You wouldn't be able to take it down without me." Alan Wilson chuckled without any surprise, "I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me, but I ended up taking advantage of you."
The supreme authority was still surprised at that time. Who did what happened in Indonesia? Today I found out that it was the son of the Tsar. But how old was he at that time? He couldn't help but sigh, "You are very brave."
Alexeyev was a little confused, but Alan Wilson waved his hand, "We've finished talking about official matters, and you should be returning home soon. Let's have a casual chat."
"Well, let's talk." A complex look flashed across Alexeyev's face. He felt that this might be the most complicated father-son relationship in the world. The two were in two camps, and the previous negotiations were not completely hostile.
, at least not letting personal feelings affect it.
He had to admit that the head of the British civil service was a good negotiator. Of course, the other party he was negotiating with at the Potsdam Conference was his mother Fortseva. Even the mother could handle it, let alone his son.
"Have you been promoted since you returned this time? Don't look at me like that. I'm happy for your promotion. I think it's not enough for you to be the director of the general bureau, but you should be the head of the subordinate departments. After all, Yekaterina is here
No matter how you say it, the Soviet Union has a handful of leaders."
Alan Wilson didn't look at the other party's eyes at all, and just said these words in a guessing tone, "This food purchase is a credit if nothing else. It is impossible for you to be promoted immediately and it will be helpful in the future. I am not saying this to mean
Whatever I get from you, you are a Soviet citizen and you should serve the Soviet Union. I am a British person and I must also consider the interests of the United Kingdom. Otherwise, if you use diamonds composed of the same carbon as the settlement, I will agree."
Listening to Alan Wilson's words, Alexeyev remained silent, "If you need help one day, I will be willing to help as long as it does not violate national interests."
"These are my words. You should be careful about yourself." Alan Wilson chuckled, stretched and said in a long tone, "You have a lot of problems. Even within the Warsaw Pact, there must be no problems?"
"What's the problem? They don't have that strength." Alexeyev's first thought was Poland, and he was in Warsaw when he landed in Warsaw.
"As for the countries that have enmity with the Soviet Union, most of them have a decent relationship, and after thinking about it, it is Poland. This Catholic country is also a Slavic people, but it is a big trouble for the Soviet Union. Of course, this is not a problem unique to the Soviet Union. Britain
Ireland next to it, Japan and South Korea in East Asia, and even Vietnam, Pakistan in South Asia, and Mexico next to the United States, none of them like neighboring countries that are stronger than themselves."
Alan Wilson actually mentioned Poland. If a small country next to a big country has never been rich, then forget it. I am afraid that by chance, someone will be rich.
It is much easier to think about it. Before the territory was ceded by the United States, Mexico was the leader of Latin America. Although Brazil has a larger territory, it is still not easy for the Portuguese to lead a group of Spanish speakers.
Japan and South Korea also belong to this category. Pakistan is a modern version of the Peace Sect that defeated Hinduism in the agricultural era. Even if it cannot defeat India, it does not want to admit defeat to India.
Before the expansion of the Russian Empire, the hegemon in Eastern Europe was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea is the meaning of the name of Poland. Poland and Lithuania were the countries that later became the most violent anti-Russian countries.
It is not entirely true to say that all Eastern European countries are anti-Russian. In other words, the three big-nosed countries of Poland and the Baltic Sea are truly anti-Russian. The Slavic countries in southeastern Europe were all rescued from the Ottoman Empire by Imperial Russia. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are also
It's not that we are incompatible with Russia.
The reason why Eastern Europe seems to be anti-Russian, isn't it because Russia is weak? If the strength of the Soviet Union really scared them to death, they wouldn't dare.
Isn’t the comparison between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War similar to that in the 21st century when China and the United States competed strategically across the Pacific Ocean? Looking at the comparison of the economic aggregates between China and Russia, Russia has declined almost ten times relative to it.
Even considering Russia's vast territory and abundant resources and the exchange rate of the ruble, a decline of three or four times is certain, so why don't the restless friends around you jump up and perform?
Compared with these countries, Ireland next to the United Kingdom can be considered easy to deal with. Ireland has really not been subsidized, and Alan Wilson still has some confidence in benefiting Ireland. If Ireland also has a history of subsidizing, then the Irish problem will be even more troublesome.
Now that the issue of the side of the bed was mentioned, Alan Wilson thought that since it was no one else, he suddenly said, "I won't hide it from you. Allende will probably not survive next year."
"What? Chilean President Allende?" Alexeyev was shocked. He didn't expect to hear such explosive news. "You won't lie to me? You also said that there might be a war in the Middle East."
"Britain is leaning toward Arab countries. Will the United States tell Britain when to go to war?"
Alan Wilson curled his lips and said, "But our intelligence department has analyzed that the Middle East will start a war in a short period of time. The United States is hiding it from us, and we don't know the exact information. But Allende is at risk of a coup, and I did not analyze it.
There must be an economic crisis to facilitate a coup, and you will know when the time comes."
Of course, this is also a lie. He also has no information about Chile's coup, which is why he dares to shout it out, unless there is someone similar to Yuri in the United States who can follow his thoughts and trace his supreme authority.
Otherwise, they will only be suspicious in their own country, whether Soviet spies have infiltrated high-level officials in the United States again.
And this is also a good thing for the United Kingdom. The Soviet Union puts your national power in places where the United States will really jump. Don't always use your strength against Europe. Latin America is a place where the United States will definitely jump.
Ever since what happened in Cuba under its nose, the United States has been on tight guard against the entire America. Allende's opponents in every election have received funding from the United States. From the moment Allende came to power, the United States has been trying to find ways to stage a coup.
If the Soviet Union can benefit so much, how can it benefit Latin America much better than benefiting Sudan or Somalia?
"In the long run, Latin American people smuggling will become a big problem facing the United States. But this will take time to verify." Alan Wilson stood up and spoke without pain, although the British population has not changed much since the war.
However, he has specifically investigated and found that it is not the UK's fertility rate that has plummeted, but Whitehall's guidance on immigration to Australia, which has had an effect, and the UK's population structure is still relatively healthy.
The supreme authority who decided to provide Alexeyev with extra lessons,
During our last meeting before returning home, we planned a story about the linkage between the war in the Middle East and the Chilean coup. Then something suddenly seemed to come up, "You seem to have detained a lot of prisoners in Cuba?"
"There is such a thing!" Alexeyev nodded. Americans also knew about this new era of exile and often used it to criticize the Soviet Union. He didn't know what the purpose of putting it there was.
"Let Castro be placed in the United States when he takes action. Including Cuba's own pro-American groups, there are hundreds of thousands of people, enough to keep the United States busy for half a month." Alan Wilson said with ease, "It is best to work hard three
It depends on the ability of your KGB that things happen at a certain point in time. You must be careful about Pinochet, he is very dangerous."
It's a very old-fashioned way of making excuses. Alexeyev doesn't need to thank him. This is what should be done. The settlement share of pounds in the entire America is only 6%, and the rest is in US dollars.
America is such a great battlefield. Alan Wilson was considering this because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. If the United States fights in its own base camp, doesn't that mean it has the upper hand? Doesn't it have the upper hand to play with the Soviet Union?
"Once Latin America is in turmoil, the locals will only hate the United States. Just go ahead and do it boldly." Alan Wilson had already put on his coat and then stopped, "Tell Ekaterina about the conversation you and I had today. For now,
Said, your situation cannot be compared with your mother. Pay more attention to the political situation in the United States, the Watergate incident will not end so easily."
