Chapter 1289 – Anglo-French Alliance?

An event that will determine the direction of the world? Pamela Mountbatten’s face was full of skepticism when she heard that, with her knowledge of her husband, this kind of thing? It’s not a rocket ride, is it?

Yes and no! Rocket ride is an important foundation of a couple’s relationship, but in such a public place as London airport, how could Alan Wilson say what was in his heart? It made him seem like a horny devil, although it was really almost the same.

Holding his wife’s hand out of the airport, the car is already waiting outside the airport, the richest woman habitually fell into her husband’s arms, “round table went well?”

“It’s okay, you can say it went well or not. Anyway, we’re not going to take this place.” Alan Wilson’s tone was breezy, “The main problem is the polity, the Saudis are so concerned about the polity of Yemen after the Sultan is overthrown, it’s written all over them.”

“The Saudis are concerned, I seem to recall that the Saudis are not considered much of a power in the Middle East.” Pamela Mountbatten felt funny when she heard that, “It’s the turn of the Saudis to be concerned about what’s going on in the UK?”

The opinion of the richest woman in this era is not wrong at all, the current population of Saudi Arabia is more than four million, in the Arab world in general has not been a population explosion in the sixties. Population is really an important criterion for determining the status within the Arab world, and whether population is a dividend or not, it needs to be matched with the country’s resources, the country’s territory and a series of other basic conditions.

Why is Egypt the leader of the Arab world in this era? With a population of 30 million, Egypt can draft a million man army, something the Saudis can’t do in any case.

This won’t change just because the Saudis have a couple bucks, during the Cold War, the Arab countries in front of the Saudis looked more than enough, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and even Jordan, all of which had more of a calling than the Saudis.

Even before the Gulf War, Saddam was a natural leader of the Arab world, the Saudis have to bow to Saddam.

Who let the Saudis never known for combat power it, Pakistan is so poor, the Saudis to Pakistan are full of courtesy, but also count on this peace to teach the world’s combat ceiling, when something happens to pull their own hand it.

Allen Wilson also just casually commented on two sentences Saudi Arabia, but Pamela Mountbatten obviously interested in Saudi Arabia, “There is no room to enter Saudi Arabia.”

“America will explode, don’t humiliate yourself. This country has taken England over on its meanness.” Alan Wilson dismissed his wife’s risky thinking out of hand, “Don’t take such risky moves now that your group has become the standard bearer for Britain. For now, at least, America is still immensely powerful, and speaking of which, let’s talk about it at home.”

Want to give the Saudis this pro-U.S. family to find uncomfortable, in fact, there are many ways to do so, a lot of latter-day Saudis can cope with the threat of this era Saudis may not be able to cope with it, in fact, it is very simple, the current Saudi Arabia is not that the mighty oil kingdom, several countries ranked ahead of the Saudis it.

Allen Wilson wants to let the Saudis to do a low-profile words, for example, in Iran to spread the world Shiite is a family of speech, is enough to Saudi Arabia nervous, the vast majority of Saudi Arabia’s oil in the eastern seaboard, the strait across the Iranian, and the main beliefs of the coastal areas of Saudi Arabia, and not the mainstream beliefs of the Saudis, but the Shiites.

There’s actually an immediate thing to maneuver on right now, and that’s Yemen, and the main population of Yemen is in North Yemen, and North Yemen is where the Shia are dominant.

Saudi Arabia is a monarchy and the UK wants Yemen to be a republic because the monarch of Yemen has been overthrown.

If Saudi Arabia is a monarchy and Yemen is a republic, and Saudi Arabia is a pro-American state and Yemen is a pro-Soviet state, and Saudi Arabia is Sunni and Yemen is Shia, wouldn’t everyone have a bright future?

Unless the Saudis can come up with a billion dollar bribe to the UK, there is no reason for Alan Wilson to arrange Yemen’s future according to the Saudis’ ideas, and odds are the bribe won’t work either, because fundamentally Yemen and the Saudis don’t look like the same kind of country.

The UK’s position can be flexible enough if the Saudis give enough, as in Alan Wilson’s previous life mindset, when there are no carriers, the carriers are living targets. It wasn’t all right that carriers were useless when there were two sliding carriers, and after the electromagnetic catapult carriers started work, the carrier uselessness theory was stupidly worthless.

And after the successful test-firing of anti-ship ballistic missiles, the Cabinet Secretary’s heartfelt message, “Carriers are living targets.” With a flexible enough stance, he was invincible.

“My husband, you have worked so hard.” Returning home, Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative to give her husband a deep kiss before saying, “It seems like the situation is getting nasty in quite a few places this year. Pakistan and India are also giving each other tough words, the United States is increasing its troops into South Vietnam, and needless to say, Indonesia, and the Australians are freaking out.”

“At least Europe is calm. Except for France.” Alan Wilson sat on his ass on the couch, “Our dubious ally has been quite active these past few years. Starting to make brave strides towards world power, sneaking around with gold in American hands in mind.”

“Really?” Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly and inquired, “Then what do we do? Is it to stand with the Americans, or?”

“This matter is more complicated, and I haven’t thought about it yet, but don’t think that Britain won’t make a move.” Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow, the countries that attacked the US dollar in the sixties and seventies, none of the three European countries of Britain, France and Germany were clean, the first to make a move was France, it didn’t mean that the other countries were clean.

If you stand on the side of the United States, so that France has nothing to lose, with the current British share of the settlement of the pound of course can be done. But the advantage of doing so is that the pound remains immune to chronic death.

While Allen Wilson did his best to protect the pound’s share of the settlement, going so far as to prop up Malaya, a colony that wasn’t dominated by a white ethnic group. But that was all it took to turn a British debacle into a chronic shrinkage.

Holding down France, the US will still gobble up sterling’s space bit by bit, the process may be more convoluted, but the result won’t change.

So why jump in and take the knife for the US? An operation just to make America great again? To make Britain a late follower? Is that the point of Alan Wilson’s job?

Sooner or later, the pound is also to come out of the knife, only the question of the timing of the knife, the key is, not to let the other out of the knife to take advantage of the country in the sixties and seventies to the United States to come out of the knife there is also a heavyweight player, that is, the Germans. In fact, from the later birth of the euro, it is known that Germany is the final winner.

Alan Wilson can not let the Germans take advantage of, at least not let Germany take advantage of enough to establish the basis of the euro, so this matter there are still considerations.

Britain because of the birthplace of the industrial revolution first mover advantage, with the maritime hegemony as a backing, with financial strength as a lever, to establish a colonial empire across Europe, the United States, Asia, Africa and Oceania, monopolizing the supply of global raw materials and energy, controlling the division of the world market, mastering the channel of oceanic trade, and swaying the direction of the flow of international capital.

The world’s gold from South Africa, Canada, the United States, Russia, Brazil, Australia and other places of gold mines to London, the Bank of England to gold reserves as the basis for the creation of the world’s pounds, and then pounds of capital and industrial products from the United Kingdom to all corners of the world market, and ultimately, huge profits wrapped in more gold back to London to complete the great cycle of international capital.

Even now, the strength of the pound is much stronger than the French franc, if you want to make a knife, is to wait until after the French are suppressed to do it, or with the French to make a knife? This question has to be considered carefully.

Learning of Alan Wilson’s doubts, Pamela Mountbatten asked in a moment of silence, “My dear, can’t the Bretton Woods system be maintained?”

“That system has loopholes, it’s only a matter of time before it can’t be maintained, in fact, our original proposal was right, pricing with commodities is the long-term plan. The United States disagreed at the time because Britain still controlled quite a few colonies, and gold was the most powerful financial weapon for the United States at the time.”

Alan Wilson said honestly, “The proposals that made sense to us from a position of strength were also rejected by the Americans. If Bretton Woods collapses, I’m sure the U.S. will find a way to peg the bulk. Never mind that they were adamantly opposed to doing so in nineteen forty-four. Does it matter if you have money in your cheek?”

“To prevent that outcome, the British garrison in the Persian Gulf must never be withdrawn.” Pamela Mountbatten said for no apparent reason, then said, “I said how you told me to focus on Australia, there is no country in the world that can compete with Australia in terms of iron ore quality. The British Army in Australia must also stay in Australia for a long time.”

“Uh-huh, exactly. It’s really a preparation for the world after the collapse of Bretton Woods. It’s not quite there yet, and if the US can’t do a quick win in Vietnam, who knows about the sneaky US over-issuance of money as time lengthens? That’s what the French know, and are clamoring around to make the U.S. very unhappy.”

Alan Wilson reverted back to the French issue and then kicked the ball over to his wife’s side, “If it were you, what do you think about this and what would be the decision?”

“Is London prepared to do nothing when it’s the state that steps in on such matters?” Pamela Mountbatten, on hearing this, simply questioned the reliability of the current government?

“We don’t know how much the dollar has been overissued, and standing firmly with France is out of the question.” Alan Wilson shook his head, “I’m only the Secretary General of the Cabinet, not the Prime Minister. Furthermore, we pay lip service to the Anglo-American Special Relationship, and then the first stab in the back of the knife, if France had taken advantage of it without retaliation, it might have swayed some people at home, and now we simply don’t know how far France can go? Am I to ask De Gaulle how ready he is?”

“I suggest, with the French. What do you think?” Pamela Mountbatten voiced her thoughts and then looked to her husband.

“Oh, an Anglo-French alliance. Actually, that’s fine!” As soon as Alan Wilson heard that, “Then you need to make preparations now, the launching point can’t be in London, Switzerland is a good choice.”
