Chapter 1015 Britain Will Never Surrender

Frank, the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, reached out and took the document, nodding his head at the Cabinet Secretary, Norman Brooke, “We will give a professional appraisal and try to make it work for both Nigeria and the shareholders.”

The Nigerian Petroleum Corporation is the most valuable asset in the whole of Nigeria, and in the twenty-first century Nigerian Petroleum, provides over ninety-five percent of the foreign exchange earnings of this country of nearly three hundred million people.

From this it is known that the whole of Nigeria’s dependence on oil resources is evident, and once the oil industry has taken a nosedive, the whole of Nigeria will be in turmoil.

Now this wealth on, just sent from Alan Wilson this to the hands of the Ministry of Finance, force Nigerian oil companies listed in London, is also part of this currency war.

“Although we all know that I am a pro-American, but when it comes to the issue of the pound, there is nothing to say. Even if we don’t want to, we have to create a fight at the source of the sterling crisis.”

Alan Wilson, with a sullen face, seemed to lament the ups and downs of the special Anglo-American relationship. Unfortunately, this performance does not have an audience, what pro-US faction everyone just listen, acting addicted to it?

Alan Wilson is very wronged, he has not yet contributed to the United States export industry in Paris, for Charmaine bought a Cadillac, enough to prove that he is a pro-American faction, just this matter is not suitable for Whitehall know.

The 1959 Cadillac eldorado, with special equipment including leather upholstery, chrome rims and a radio, sold for eight thousand dollars.

Nowadays, Cadillac, positioned more above whatever Mercedes-Benz was in the fifties, was not the bathos of the latter days when it was bayoneted with Toyota and thrashed by the German triumvirate. In his previous life as a young boy, Cadillac was still more popular than the German big three for a while.

It was only later that it shared the fate of Land Rover Jaguar, which was thrown off by the German Big Three in terms of brand value. Land Rover Jaguar was sold to India after the brand value fell, Cadillac why this is not known reasons.

And now, this was the most luxurious model in the world today outside of a few sky-high models in the UK, and the fact that he bought one to give to Xia Meng was enough to prove that he was a pro-American.

“Okay, have a seat, this time the source is in Zurich, in fact we all know where the source is of the run on the pound fiasco. It is the focus of our meeting this time.” Norman Brooke schmoozed, “The Prime Minister is also very concerned about this, seeing it as a provocation to the British Empire, and we all believe that this run on the pound will be shamefully thwarted.”

“Yes, yes.” The senior Whitehall officials in the conference room nodded their heads and expressed their confidence in Britain.

“Alan has also brought good news, testing market confidence with the listing of Nigerian Oil. How to assess the value, the Treasury must come up with a professional opinion. How to stimulate the potential of the private sector, I believe is not a problem.”

Norman Brooke mused, “I personally am still quite optimistic, the UK’s gold reserves raised to four thousand five hundred tons, of course, and the United States of America’s gold reserves have a big gap, but in terms of the total economy of the United Kingdom, the proportion of the United Kingdom is still above that of the United States, but of course there are other reasons.”

“Currency is ultimately dependent on confidence to maintain, confidence from a variety of sources, military power, industrial power, essentially national power, I believe that stabilizing the current exchange rate is absolutely not a problem. Attempts to short the pound will not succeed.”

Alan Wilson said with confidence, “Malaya Kuching steel base, the total output of twenty-five million tons a year. Supporting the construction of the Middle East, Africa and even Goa, it provides commodities that enter the Australian market. With commodities backing it up, it can also be used as part of the sterling mechanism.”

Frank, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was holding a pen, spoke, “The Breston Woods system essentially relies on gold to support it, and I just don’t believe that the United States will risk losing thousands of tons of gold reserves to fight us to the end. Is it worth it for an Iran?”

“What is the view of our Chancellor of the Exchequer.” Norman Brooke inquired, “There has to be an explanation for the exchange rate fluctuations anyhow.”

Rab Butler is now the Chancellor of the Exchequer, after the defeat in the post-war election, after the Conservative Party promulgated the “agricultural charter” and other documents, formally agreed with the Labour Party’s proposed implementation of the nationalized mixed economy and the construction of the welfare state policy, thus eliminating the difference between the policy and the Labour Party, greatly changed the Conservative Party in the eyes of the British electorate’s image, supported by many workers. image of the Conservative Party in the eyes of the British electorate and gained the support of many workers. The reform has been described as a painless and permanent facelift for the Conservative Party.

“A shameful attack on the pound by the gnomes of Zurich.” Frank took out the former Labour minister, Harold Wilson, “I believe that explanation will be accepted by the electorate, but of course we can’t guarantee that it will be accepted by everyone, and although it’s not very common amongst the general public, there are always intelligent people out there, and some of them should know that this attack is coming from across the Atlantic.”

“If this war around the pound makes the government feel the pinch, there may be cuts in military spending.” Norman Brooke turned the tables and mused, “Of course none of us want that to happen, I’m just saying it’s a possibility.”

Alan Wilson spoke after a moment of contemplation, “Honorable Sir, cutting back on military spending is a very hopeless move from any perspective, if it’s not possible, I’ll convene a meeting of the Overseas Commissioners and draw funds from the Overseas Asset Management Board to defend the pound.”

“I’m just saying it’s a possibility, it’s still too early to talk about that when even a cut in military spending is a long shot in terms of current intensity.” Norman Brooke smiled, “At least from the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I don’t feel the pressure.”

“Get the Nigerian Oil Company done and the Prime Minister should be happy to see the good news. Get Governor Azikiwe to come to London immediately. If he doesn’t come, at least for the time being, we still have the power to make a change in Nigeria’s future founding fathers.”

With that Norman Brooke got up and was ready to talk to Prime Minister Aiden and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rabo Butler, on the matter of the listing of the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation on the ferry.

Taking out the one time when the United States cut off aid in the early post-war period, this would have been the first time that Britain had felt the hostility of the United States.

And the first approach Britain took was, of course, the old-fashioned way; if they could pack up and sell British India then, they could sell Nigeria now.

From Britain will never surrender until the blood of the Indians runs dry, to Britain will never surrender until the blood of Nigeria runs dry.

After the past year of economic crisis in 1958, Britain’s per capita income and that of the United States of America have drawn further closer to negligible.

In terms of the total size of the economy, it is reflected in the fact that Britain’s share of the U.S. economy, in line with the ratio of the British population to that of the U.S., is three times that of France and Germany, close to four times that of China, four times that of Japan, and unquestionably the second largest in the free world.

In this case, if the rifle thrown hands up to surrender, but also too much to say, the United States is not to be messed with, the United Kingdom is not to be messed with, in the House of Commons questioning, in the face of Harold Wilson’s questioning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rab Butler, also showed a tough attitude, but also used Harold Wilson’s once famous words, “Zurich gnomes, as well as their supporters behind, must fail to achieve their goals, stupidity, and the ability to get the job done, but also the ability to get the job done. are bound to fail in their purpose, and stupidity should be extinguished.”

A few days later, the Governor of the Nigerian Autonomous Territories, Azikiwe, arrived in London, at this time in London in December, although there is no previous years of haze shrouded in fog, but let Azikiwe, this is accustomed to the tropical rainforest climate of the Governor is quite unaccustomed to.

Alan Wilson is not so much uncomfortable, recently Greta Garbo temporary stay in London ignited his fiery heart, at this moment there are three different times of the goddess, take turns to ignite his fiery heart, the district wind and frost are nothing.

“I believe that once the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation is listed, it will be a huge boon to Nigeria as a whole.” Alan Wilson does not feel that Nigeria has lost out, Nigeria can use this to get financing from Europe and even North America.

The London Stock Exchange also has subsidiaries, such as the Canadian Montreal Exchange, established in 1874, is currently the largest financial exchange in Canada. There is also the Toronto Stock Exchange, which, considering the current international situation, is the stock exchange of the United Kingdom and the United States in addition to him.

So for Nigeria, can not just get European financing, this listing of the Nigerian autonomous government and the military each have shares, as for the specific share is not convenient to disclose, military personnel in business how?

Azikiwe’s own shares are minimal compared to the first two, but personally they are undoubtedly huge. Of course the Nigerian High Commissioner will also get rich, that’s none of Nigeria’s business.

On Christmas Day, December 24, the long-awaited listing of the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NPC) by the London Stock Exchange was official, and the scene on the London Stock Exchange was hot on that day, with NPC’s shares, driving the broader market up as a whole.

“At least it is a country of nearly a million square kilometers, thirty to forty million people, the most take the industry.” Alan Wilson hanging heart, at this time is finally some put down.

“Britain absolutely does not relax the sanctions on Iran.” Also on the same day, Aidan made a solemn pledge in the House of Commons in his capacity as Prime Minister, “Iran will surely drown in its own oil, the world doesn’t need Iran, Iran is insignificant, that’s what I want to say now, a very obvious fact.”

Prime Minister Aidan’s words were met with loud and sustained applause in the House of Commons. The exchange rate of the pound sterling was firmly fixed at one to two and eight grains, and the whole of England embodied a strong side.

“It seems that the loss of British India has no effect on Britain?” The discussion, with a tone of surprise, belonged to Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon at the White House in the United States.
