Chapter 1064: Building Integrity

The two Britons naturally had no right to interfere with the outcome of the American election, but it was certain that the British strategy of dragging out time should be able to pass peacefully until January next year, the period before Kennedy was officially inaugurated as President of the United States.

For countries in recession, every day is precious, let alone three months. For the current President Eisenhower, Britain would just wait for the other to leave the White House.

Alan Wilson is holding a newspaper in Chinese characters, which says, “The first American election is over, and the political drama, which was staged by the two major parties of the American bourgeoisie with the big monopoly capitalist groups pulling the strings behind the scenes, has gone through the motions again. The Republican government, which has been in power for eight years, is about to step down because of its defeat in the “election”, and Kennedy, the head of the Democratic Party, another tool of monopoly capital, will make his debut in January next year. The so-called presidential election in the U.S.A., as Lenin pointed out rightly years ago, is a deception of the people: two bourgeois parties are using a bluff, contentless duel between themselves to deceive the people and divert their attention from their vital interests.”

“Looks like it could be quiet for a while.” John had no idea what his old friend was reading; the kanji was like heavenly writing to him.

But he was also relieved that the outcome was acceptable to Britain, now that Eisenhower was a slope-legged president and couldn’t do anything to Britain.

“Perhaps! But the Democrats never talk a good game, recall WWI and WWII, the US was ruled by the Democrats.” Alan Wilson put the newspaper down and nodded with his mouth open, how could his colleague have known that this one coming up, was harder to deal with than Eisenhower.

Even though Kennedy hadn’t even finished his first term, he ranked high in American history when it came to getting into trouble.

“That doesn’t say much, does it?” John asked rhetorically once he heard less agreement, “There can’t be a world war in this environment now, with nuclear weapons and missiles, there’s not going to be any front or back, and the US is just as dangerous.”

“Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline were both of Irish descent. Ireland and Great Britain are related, as you know.” It wasn’t as if Alan Wilson was having an attack on people of Irish descent, it was a fact that not only was JFK of Irish descent, but so was his wife Jacqueline.

In the era from which the two came, Irish descent was certainly not considered as white as it had been, and could only intermarry with people of color.

But it was still at the end of the upper class contempt chain, so Jacqueline’s parents were vague about their Irish heritage, but instead flaunted their French origins, and Jacqueline grew up to be half French.

While this cover-up was purely for vanity’s sake, there’s no denying that it worked?

Now Alan Wilson wonders if Kennedy still has the wishful thinking that he can try to disarm Britain’s nuclear weapons? What would be Britain’s response.

Normally speaking with Britain’s current strength being much stronger than at the same time in history, Kennedy shouldn’t think so. But it’s Kennedy, and it’s definitely not a problem in terms of guts, or he wouldn’t have made the convertible.

“The six-party talks in Basra, if there are any more meetings, you’ll just attend in my place. I’m going back to London to deal with some African affairs issues.”

After half a day’s thought, Alan Wilson felt that nothing would happen on the Basra side for a short time, and that he should return to London, which was presumably now assessing for Kennedy’s ascension to power, and whether or not there would be a change in U.S. foreign policy.

“Good, just leave it to me.” John nodded, “You take care of your business and we’ll keep in touch by telegraph.”

Just as the Republicans were accusing the Democrats of election fraud, Alan Wilson left Basra, ready to have some discussions back home about the new changes in the general environment.

Nowadays, Britain is like the country’s broken aristocrats on the surface seem reserved and proud, as if disdaining everyone, but in reality, in the bones, they are like bloodthirsty falcons desperately trying to catch a reliable retreat.

This man Kennedy, in Alan Wilson’s eyes, will be a real test for Britain when he comes to power. Seems like someone just said that, preferring to deal with the Republicans than the Democrats.

For the sake of this Democrat president, he had been collecting all the information he could use to prepare for the Nassau Conference more than ten years ago, when he was ready to use all means except war to save Britain’s interests.

For more than a decade, Alan Wilson has been circling the entire globe like a hard-working bee, just for the sake of this day to come, otherwise why did he help the Soviet Union? Why speak up for France, it was all essentially to preserve Britain.

Now with Kennedy in power, the test has sort of come, whether all those years of hard work have worked or not, we’ll see if we can get through Kennedy’s term.

“He’ll just survive three years, he should be fine.” Walking out of the London airport Allen Wilson mouth twitching, he does not believe that the United Kingdom can not even top three years, Kennedy, the problem child is not against the United Kingdom, nor is it only in the international affairs, he is also prepared to do things to the United States within the United States, and ultimately, the Americans themselves to solve this problem.

While a certain villain, ready to buck the tide of history, was preparing to do something about the President destined to be widely loved by the citizens of the United States, JFK, the soon-to-be leader of the most powerful nation in the world, was all smug.

The United States of America, the greatest country in the world, was about to come of age. At the thought of such a fact, Kennedy couldn’t calm down and couldn’t wait to announce his inauguration.

In Kennedy’s eyes, the United States needs to change a lot of places, and he is bound to be a great president. Leaving his own mark in history.

“John!” Jacqueline pushed her way in to see her husband full of bravado and couldn’t help but call out softly, “You’ve been working hard for the last while, you should be getting some rest.”

“Darling, you can’t imagine how I’m feeling right now.” Although there is a part of the Republicans agitating for Nixon, a thorough investigation of this defeat to see if there is fraud, but in Kennedy’s view is nothing more than the wailing of the defeated dog, the big picture is set, nothing can prevent him from taking the White House, “I will bring many significant changes to this country.”

Kennedy’s reputation as a flirt, to say and a certain British district flunky has something in common, that is, in the perspective of treating sister-in-law, the two have a common language, Kennedy almost as long as you see a beautiful woman, will hang bladder, even if the other party is their sister-in-law will not let go.

If there is not a conflict of national interests, there is no chance that Kennedy can be the same as his Irish counterpart McCarthy, and Allen Wilson will become very good friends.

But now it was essentially impossible, and Kennedy wouldn’t have thought that the person he most wanted to make a figure of fun of right now was an Englishman.

While Kennedy was thinking about his White House career, Allen Wilson was on his way to the Foreign Office building with a telegram from Perth, and Pamela Mountbatten was in Perth to hear the favorable news of Kennedy’s rise to power.

In the matter of silver, at least, Kennedy’s victory was indeed good news, and Pamela Mountbatten had almost as soon discovered a potential money shortage in the United States as she had since being instructed by her husband to keep an eye on silver. Small amounts of U.S. currency exist in silver coins, but the stock on the market right now is insufficient.

What happens when the material of the currency exceeds its own face value is not well understood by Pamela Mountbatten, but well known to Allen Wilson, as there have been many times in Chinese history when copper coins have been collected and turned into bronze, resulting in fewer and fewer coins on the market.

Inevitably, this situation necessitated an adjustment in the ratios to maintain the stock of silver coins in circulation in the marketplace. Now the U.S. coins are pure silver, then it should become half-silver, the U.S. Treasury Department because of the Silver Act of 1934, reserves a large amount of silver can do so.

But once the ration is adjusted to increase the amount put on the market, a large amount of silver will inevitably be needed to back it up.

Allen Wilson does not know conspiracy theories in which Kennedy wanted to use silver, from the Federal Reserve to take back the right to issue money is true or false, but even if it is false, just to stabilize the small coins this item, but also will cause silver to rise.

That means that whether or not Kennedy’s death had anything to do with silver, the U.S.’s desire to quell the shortage of silver coins would inevitably require a related move, and the value of silver would rise.

Alan Wilson to his wife’s return telegram to express congratulations, “If our guess is correct, silver will inevitably rise, the question is nothing more than how much, keep a normal mind to wait and see, when you can certainly get a great deal of interest.”

After the public instrument had sent the telegram from the Foreign Office, Alan Wilson then began to hug Macmillan on the progress of the Six-Party Talks, “There may not be a big change until January next year. But for Britain, no news is good news in itself.”

“Indeed, no news is good news for us.” Macmillan nodded, “Alan, when do you think we’ll be satisfied.”

“I don’t know, Minister.” Alan Wilson replied with a smile, thinking that the outcome to Britain’s satisfaction would depend on whether Kennedy felt good about himself, and judging by Kennedy’s countenance, the probability of a satisfactory outcome for Britain was unlikely to occur.

“I want to send a group of agents from the Government Communications Headquarters to Malaya to find out if there is corruption there.” Alan Wilson immediately made a request to Macmillan, under the banner of integrity.

In reality he was asking the Government Communications Headquarters, on the other hand, to escort his own silver speculation. Macmillan agreed in principle, so the decision on this matter, in the cabinet secretary general Norman Brook’s body.

Well, it was easy to get past Norman Brooke here, too, so Alan Wilson left out MI5 and MI6, picked another intelligence service that seemed reliable, and began to prepare a big gift for JFK, who, of course, was too deep in his pockets to need the thanks of the President of the United States.
