Having said that, after implementing two of the most failed five-year plans in the world, Peron should be ousted soon.
It’s not that they have nothing in common with Britain. Juan Peron, like Prime Minister Attlee, claims to combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism, but what he combines is clearly the shortcomings of the two systems.
In fact, given Argentina's foundation, it would be good to be a rich country that does not care about worldly affairs. If it wants to become a big country, it is obviously overthinking.
It must be admitted that the territory occupied by Spain during the colonial era was a wealthy area with a large amount of precious metals and excellent agricultural conditions. The British colony was simply a bitter and cold land. If the Indians were also involved in nomadic farming, the British would occupy a lot of nomadic areas.
Territory, the Spanish Empire did not care about it at all.
But conditions are not very good in North America, which has the coal and iron resources most needed for the industrial revolution. Can the gold and silver in Latin America be used to make steel? The coal mines in Latin America only account for 0.4% of the world's total.
With a foundation like Argentina, it is impossible to fight with the United Kingdom. The reason why the dispute over the Falkland Islands turned into a war is largely because the British attitude towards the Falkland Islands was not very tough after allowing the colonies to become independent.
, and even proposed condominium administration of the Falkland Islands.
In the eyes of Argentina, Britain has allowed so many colonies to become independent and will not go to war over a small island that can only raise sheep. Moreover, they are willing to co-administer the islands. I believe that even if Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, Britain would not go to war.
But by chance, Mrs. Thatcher enjoyed the results of previous prime ministers' fishing for law enforcement, and she also needed support, so the war broke out.
Alan Wilson is an honest man. He hopes that the United Kingdom will continue to maintain an attitude of not resolutely defending the Falkland Islands. Maybe Argentina will take risks. The United Kingdom always needs a stepping stone to maintain its status as a world power. The interests of Eurasia are too intertwined.
Too dangerous, Argentina is really suitable.
Pamela Mountbatten was back at work again, busy setting up a South American exploration team and planning a regional airliner.
The former only requires one sentence to ensure the treatment of the exploration team. The latter is more troublesome. Alan Wilson also gave his wife some suggestions, which are nothing more than differentiation and mature plan improvements. The regional passenger aircraft is set to have 70 to 90 seats.
range, which is also the approximate standard for later generations.
The UK is obviously a country with a conservative atmosphere, but it is always extremely bold in new technologies and always comes up with some fancy things. In the end, it turns out that they are of no use and increase the cost and are not safe.
It's not impossible to do this in terms of weapons and equipment. The military can adapt to it, but other countries don't know.
But if you do this with products, it's not a problem you can solve by overcoming it on your own.
Compared with the busy wife, the sister-in-law has nothing to do. Apart from helping to take care of the children, she always uses physical fatigue as an excuse to let Alan Wilson work hard to straighten his bones.
Faced with the unreasonable demands of important members of the royal family, the imperial commissioner dared not speak out and could only comply, "The princess is getting more and more excessive. I am an official of the country."
Princess Margaret groaned, clasped her big hands that were causing trouble, and protested in a low voice, "I don't know what you said, I've already taken care of your daughter for you." Then she took the initiative to offer her red lips.
After a verbal dispute, Alan Wilson returned to his gentlemanly manner with a relaxed expression, thinking about when to cook the rice. The relationship has evolved to this day. If there is no further progress, it is simply sorry to God.
The British national motto inspired him at this time, God has God, I have rights, and of course he has the right to do what he likes.
Frank is still negotiating the price of arms sales with Australia. Arms sales are not used for ordinary business. Everyone knows that the arms business is profitable. The profit usually starts at 50%, and it is not uncommon to see 100%. It is far from a normal processing industry.
Earn that hard-earned money.
The arms market is also winner-take-all. It is precisely because of the importance of arms sales that the Cabinet and Whitehall are so concerned about it and have used their old skills of secret operations. This shows how much they attach great importance to this arms sale.
Otherwise, how could Alan Wilson immediately summon the Comet 1 and return directly to London as soon as he heard that Australia had this intention? Even if the price is not mentioned, being able to leverage the replacement of British aircraft carriers is a huge gain.
Even in the 21st century, the United Kingdom has long been the top three in arms sales. France, which does not seem to be weak, has made little achievements in arms sales most of the time, so once there is a big order, it will attach great importance to it.
Although Alan Wilson couldn't help, he still hoped that Frank could get things done. Once the success was achieved, the credit would be shared by two people, and at least there would be no need for useless work.
If Her Royal Highness hadn't always come to ease his mood, he would have wanted Frank to tell him what he was talking about every day.
In fact, without his urging, Frank also knew very well what kind of rewards he would get in the future if he negotiated this significant arms sale. This may be a moment of dedication that he has never had since working for the empire, and it may not be the same in the future.
There will be a time to work so hard.
My wife, who was busy working on regional airliners and exploring America, brought news about the demarcation of the North Sea.
"We have reached an agreement with the relevant countries in the North Sea on delimitation. The demarcation will be based on the central line principle." Pamela Mountbatten told the whole story as soon as she sat down.
"That's not right. Why don't you strive for a more favorable demarcation?" Alan Wilson was shocked after hearing this. On the premise that oil and gas in the North Sea had been discovered, the UK did not fight for it at all. This was not in line with common sense. He thought for a while and asked, "
Is it because of pressure from the Americans?”
He could think of no other reason. If anyone in the world could exert diplomatic pressure on Britain, the only ones were the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union had no reason to do this, but the United States might do it to maintain the so-called unity of NATO.
"No. Although I don't know the specific situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it is not a problem of the United States." Pamela Mountbatten explained, "But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has negotiated a condition, that is, the oil revenue of the relevant countries in the North Sea must be denominated in pounds
Settlement. With this premise, an agreement on the middle line principle was reached."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So that's it, for the pound settlement share." Alan Wilson understood, "The Netherlands, Germany, and Norway have all agreed?"
Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and Alan Wilson figured it out. In the foreseeable future, North Sea oil will be the only reliable source of oil and gas in Europe. Of course, the UK wants to rely on its strength to get the big share, but if it takes a step back, let
The benefits to neighboring countries of North Sea oil being settled in pounds are also huge.
The currencies of general countries can only circulate in their own countries, and the currencies of these countries themselves have little influence. At this time, except for the US dollar, the currencies of many countries do not have international recognition.
There are actually only three currencies in European countries that can be circulated across borders, the pound, the franc and the mark. North Sea oil is the safest oil resource in Europe, and it is very close. If the pound is used for settlement, the value of the pound will be greatly stabilized.
After the war, the United States always wanted to dismantle the pound zone and replace the pound with US dollars. North Sea oil, the most reliable source of oil recently, can supply traditional European powers such as France and Germany. It can bind the pound to the franc to a certain extent.
and the value of the mark, the benefits to Britain are huge.
Therefore, for the sake of the British pound's international settlement share, the United Kingdom opened up the door to the Netherlands and Norway, and exchanged the conditions for settling North Sea oil in pounds sterling with a fair demarcation.
If there is one country in the world besides the United States that knows the power of currency, it is the United Kingdom. During negotiations with the United States, facing the Braston Woods system, the United Kingdom once proposed to create a World Bank and issue a super-sovereign currency.
.
Keynes knew the international financial and monetary system very well. He designed to establish a real World Bank in the future international monetary system. The World Bank would be managed by each participating country to issue a unified world currency.
In proposing such a plan, of course, there is an attempt to protect the interests of the United Kingdom, because it has seen that it is impossible for the United Kingdom to maintain the hegemonic status of the pound, so it preemptively proposed to create a unified currency.
At that time, the stock of sterling in the world far exceeded that of the U.S. dollar. Once this plan was passed, the United Kingdom would be more advantageous in terms of stock. Naturally, the United States would oppose it and eventually passed the Braston Woods system.
"The government is really worried about the pound." What can Alan Wilson say? If it were for this purpose, he could only do this.
"It seems that you also agree that there are benefits." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, "Can we still bring the currency status back?"
"It's hard to say, but it's right to keep working hard for it." Alan Wilson didn't dare to talk nonsense on this issue. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by personal choice. "But under the Brayston Woods system,
It can still compete with the U.S. dollar, but it will be more difficult to compete with other commodities."
There is a lot of gold in the world. If the United States wants to issue more currency, it will be easy for other countries to notice. If it were to exchange for petrodollars, other countries' lives would be even more difficult.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if the African colonies want to become independent and just leave, but the British garrison in the Persian Gulf must not be withdrawn.
Pamela Mountbatten started micro-managing again. After the demarcation of the North Sea was completed, surrounding countries naturally began to explore the North Sea. She also wanted to fight for her own share. To carry out overall exploration of the North Sea, equipment is always needed, right? Nothing comes for free.
, Mountbatten Petroleum Group can win-win with neighboring countries.
The eldest daughter was busy with her career, and her husband-in-law began to take care of her daughter again. Using telegrams to communicate with various places became a way of life.
Not that there was nothing wrong, there was a faint call from the British treasure and the little dragoon, hoping that he would return to the Malayan colony as soon as possible and shoulder the responsibility of a man.
