Chapter 1211 thou shalt not worry also

It must be recognized that this time the Anglo-American summit, France’s strong solidarity with Britain, played a big role, no stronger than the history of France on the side of the hammer drum, Britain may not be so easy to retreat.

To save France is to save Britain, this is a joke metaphor, but there is a day to become a reality. At the end of World War II, Britain’s determined move to bring France into the permanent membership of the United Nations finally paid off at this moment.

After Britain and the United States issued a long and smelly joint communiqué with little substance, the British delegation left Nassau and soon arrived in Paris, the capital of France.

The two old dominators, once again, began to report on the fact that Britain and France were not exactly in agreement when it came to viewing European affairs. But at least so far, the idea of a so-called third-party power has not been abandoned.

Furthermore, this time the autonomous voices of Europe had done Britain a lot of favors, and it was only logical that they should make a trip.

The meeting between de Gaulle and Aydin is also considered by the French as, a crucial step for European power. It would have been better if de Gaulle had not mentioned the status of Quebec in this meeting.

Since the establishment of the Fifth Republic, some of the effects have gradually appeared, not to mention the United States is at a loss, so that the United Kingdom is also difficult to accept, can make both Britain and the United States do not like the issue, is the Quebec issue.

De Gaulle’s government was in charge of France, leading to the Silent Revolution two years ago, and in the economic sphere, the local government sought to increase French control of the Quebec economy. Until then, the Quebec economy had been largely dominated by Anglo-Canadians and American investors.

Fortunately de Gaulle didn’t delve into this issue that was embarrassing to Britain, but of course the other issue, as much as anything, wasn’t to Britain’s liking, such as attacking dollar hegemony.

Britain certainly does not like the dollar hegemony, if there is a choice, Britain certainly hope that the pound back to its original position, but this matter points how to look at, the dollar hegemony is even worse than the franc to replace the dollar is better.

Only the last issue, is Aidan very willing to discuss in depth, that is, Britain and France how to allocate industrial arrangement, get their own cake within the European Community, to establish a leadership role over the European countries.

Although Aidan was interested in this issue, the French proposition was not to be accepted in its entirety. Because in many industries, France was also a competitor of Britain, in short, at the Nassau Conference, looking at France is not bad view, in Paris quickly lost.

Allen Wilson had little to say; he was actually interested in what de Gaulle said about dollar hegemony. But the idea could not be proclaimed or its reliability would be questioned.

The first people he remembered blowing an offensive horn against the Breston Woods system were the French.

The dollar is not printed casually in this era, the Breston Woods system is simple to say that the dollar is pegged to gold, and other currencies are pegged to the dollar. There is no such thing as a floating exchange rate, it is a fixed exchange rate. Fixed rate.

Although the dollar is nominally a global currency, but in fact other currencies also have a strong circulation. Because he has to have gold behind it. In practice, people are still trading with gold as a standard.

Under the Breston Woods system, debt that was really a big deal, debt was real money. Just look at the way Britain was overwhelmed by debt after the war, and the U.S. also valued the trade deficit for fear of gold flowing out of its hands.

Because of this, when Kennedy said he would use gold reserves to turn the pound into scrap paper, Alan Wilson rated the threat as a suicidal move, and Kennedy would die a horrible death if he did so.

Since the dollar is essentially backed by gold, the following operation can be carried out to raise the gold present in the United States. Issue bonds with the gold issue to finance the financing to raise dollars. The world’s dollar is far more than gold, the United States of America’s gold reserves only have a credit role.

The unit price of gold on the market is certainly higher than that price given by the Americans, who gave thirty-five dollars an ounce. The ratio of dollars to gold is even more disparate, especially after the United States overissued dollars after the Vietnam War began.

The actual dollar is not as valuable as the Breston Woods system stipulates, then the following operation can be carried out, issue bonds, financing to the dollar, and then go to buy gold, buy the gold, and then use the gold as collateral to issue bonds to refinance. This is endless, this way down the U.S. gold reserves can not carry.

When the Breston Woods system was constructed, as the British negotiator, Keynes said the system is not sustainable, want to use bulk raw materials to replace gold.

Only at that time the bulk raw materials were under the control of Britain, the United States will never agree.

“A lot of de Gaulle’s views took away the goodwill we had just risen to.” Rab Butler said bitterly to Allen Wilson, “He went so far as to say that he wanted to establish diplomatic relations with China.”

“This is an unconscionable act of betrayal.” Alan Wilson’s face suddenly changed, “This will break Britain’s trade channel of monopolizing the world’s number one populous country through the de facto monopoly of Xiangjiang, it is intolerable, and it is hurting the national strength of European countries.”

On some issues, Britain can be a European nation as well, “We must try to prevent France’s very rash move by informing the de Gaulle government in no uncertain terms of the seriousness of the matter.”

Alan Wilson told Rab Butler that this was a clear dig at Britain and was intolerable behavior.

Rab Butler agreed, “It really is time to take a strong stand against France on this issue. By the way, Alan, where have you been all day.”

Taking the two female presidents on a rocket ride, of course! Thinking so in his heart, Allen Wilson replied seriously, “I’ve always had some physical effects from flying, so I usually need to take a break when I arrive at my destination. Have been staying at the Windsor Castle Hotel.”

As for the location of the Windsor Castle Hotel, opposite of the Woodpecker Studios headquarters building, from the point of view of having a sufficient number of guests, this is also very reasonable, and it can also receive some high-profile guests, and make the hotel’s signboard.

Rab Butler nodded, recognizing the permanent undersecretary’s explanation, and after the release of a joint Anglo-French communiqué calling for a U.S. initiative to boost the size of U.S. forces in Germany, the trip abroad came to an end.

Britain got nothing, which was fine, and the US got nothing, which was fine, and each had a bright future ahead of them, moving forward hand in hand.

“This is a world of reconciliation, let’s look to the future and seek common ground ……”

Alan Wilson, who has aftereffects of flying, proved in action that the so-called aftereffects are mainly Schrödinger. When he got off the plane, he went straight to Fei Wenli’s apartment, practicing to combine public and private.

Skillfully unscrewed the door of the room, accurately captured the rattling of the bathroom side, lightly removed the disguise and rushed in.

The whole bathroom is left with two people face to face, Marilyn Monroe staring at this uninvited guest who came in, her body is as motionless as a statue, which makes it awkward, and time passes unnoticed ……

“Let Vivian know and see how you explain.” Marilyn Monroe intimidated the man who had just taken his relationship a step further.

“What am I going to do na? Shouldn’t I say I’m sorry I thought it was her in there?” Alan Wilson had an afterthought look on his face, “It was a mistake, but I don’t seem to have any regrets.”

What happened to JFK’s woman, don’t ask, ask is the Anglo-American special relationship. It’s incumbent to take care of the aftermath of an ally. Now it was merely a matter of doing a little early duty.

“This time I am negotiating with Kennedy.” Alan Wilson couldn’t wait to self-promote in a victor’s tone. Showing that he had put America in the dust.

“What are you doing talking to me about this.” Marilyn Monroe didn’t seem to care about it, she knew she wasn’t going to be able to get Jacqueline out of the way after the birthday song incident, and sex goddesses don’t have unlimited enthusiasm.

“Don’t you think I’m awesome.” Alan Wilson inquired seriously, “Even if he’s the president, the president of the most powerful country in the world, he doesn’t get to do whatever he wants.”

“You’re awesome?” Marilyn Monroe’s eyes rolled around and complimented, “You are indeed more powerful than him for a long time ……”

This kind of compliment would be very flattering, and seeing the man who was dancing with his hands, Marilyn Monroe’s eyes flashed with a hint of laughter.

She had always thought that a girl who sought equality between men and women was nothing more than a girl who lacked ambition.

“Do you want me to keep it a secret from Vivian?” Marilyn Monroe inquired as she put on her clothes and glanced at the man who was moving in the same manner.

“To be honest I don’t particularly care. It would naturally be best if I could leave her mood undisturbed.” Alan Wilson had a soft and hard tone, the Executive Undersecretary spoke with such hardness, this was not the time to lose the initiative when there were so many people outside.

“That’s really surprising. I wonder how you made Vivian fall in love with you.” Marilyn Monroe was a bit surprised, Hollywood was a big dye bowl, but she was sure that Vivienne was not a casual woman, yet she was dead set on such a man.

Maybe living with a man of a younger age was the way to go? Marilyn Monroe pondered this.

“I suggest Ms. Monroe, don’t go back to the United States just yet. Let’s see what happens and talk about it.” Alan Wilson spoke, “In recent times, the British media’s manipulation of public opinion about you and Kennedy may have had some impact. I apologize.”

“This apology is not very sincere, but something is better than nothing.” Marilyn Monroe lightly opened her lips and said.

Don’t look at Alan Wilson looking so hard-headed, but he was actually thinking about how to repair the relationship with the Kennedy family.

Or the old way, through McCarthy and the Kennedy brother’s connections, emphasized the pain of this talks he could not help, pretending to be a big brother’s drama is over, and the drama of the crowd outside is starting to play.
