Chapter 1327 unfortunate news
Of course it makes sense, the Germans are not stupid, the United States and France this round of confrontation, a simple comparison is that the United States of America’s national strength is far more than France, if a squeeze gold can be put down the United States, the United States of America, the world’s hegemony is also too fragile.
The Bretton Woods system does have weaknesses, but is not a broken house, the French go up a foot will collapse, the end of the Bretton Woods system, Britain, France and Germany have a share of the three countries, but when to take action is to be careful, the European dollar market dramatically increased offshore dollar funds, and the dollar and the growing turbulence of the situation is aggravated.
The dramatic expansion of the number of European dollars, greatly expanding the multinational corporations and investment enterprises of the currency trading financial instruments. Such offshore currency transactions are not regulated, thus further worsening the vulnerability of U.S. finance and making the U.S. more susceptible to international financial shocks.
I understand the reasoning, but things can not be so simple to judge, France’s total economic output is only seventeen percent of the United States, who will believe that France can win? Britain’s economy is twenty-six percent of the size of the United States, and isn’t Britain now honestly consolidating its imperial preferential system. The total British economy is almost the ratio of the population of Britain to that of the United States.
Twenty years, Alan Wilson is also considered to be for the country to make a small contribution, do not dare to say that they have more credit, anyway, than the late former Prime Minister of the British Empire last year, Churchill.
Holding the newspaper of Churchill’s son, Conservative MP Randolph Churchill’s unfortunate traffic accident, Alan Wilson walked to the window and looked at the traffic outside, “For the unfortunate death of MP Churchill, the Cabinet and Whitehall’s entire listening colleagues are very sad.”
“Yes, it is unfortunate news.” Grace took a drag on her cigar, full of relief, “We all understand that it is actually unfortunate and fortunate that drinking and driving is not a good idea.”
“Yeah, that’s why it’s still a good idea for citizens to learn a lesson about the definition of drunk driving, it should become an issue to be taken seriously.” Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, “That way Senator Churchill won’t have died in vain, he died a very worthy death of sorts.”
“But then again, what’s the penalty for drunk driving over here in the UK, don’t make it too difficult for my men.” Grace still had to protect his men, being a white glove was fine, but he couldn’t be unloaded on.
This can be assured, Alan Wilson guaranteed that he would not turn his back on his long term partner, “Suspend the driver’s license for a year, after all, no one wants such an unfortunate incident. By the way, how’s Rhodesia these days?”
“Not very good, the south is in chaos right now, the railroad line we ship out copper ore is always affected, now it’s all borrowed from Mozambique for export, we also want to build a dock in the Zambezi River bordering Mozambique to go out to sea.” Grace said with a serious face, “It’s like I said then, sooner or later the blacks are going to rise up, isn’t that what’s happening in Southern Rhodesia now? Sooner or later in South Africa too, don’t think that just because there are more whites in South Africa, there are more blacks there.”
“Well, it’s you people out of the Balkans who understand.” Alan Wilson admired the other for his foresight, and then said, “It may be that in some years there will be a railroad between your territory and Nyerere’s.”
“The territory has this plan?” Grace spoke with some surprise, “I know that Nyerere has this idea, and has asked for help to quite a few countries, but it seems that they have all been rejected.” ,
“Someone will always step in, but in that case, it is inevitable that you will have to establish some economic ties with the newly independent black countries, I had thought that you would be against it.” Alan Wilson laughed, what had Grace just said, sooner or later Southern Rhodesia and South Africa would be finished.
“It’s not like there are blacks in our royal territories, as long as they don’t come over, it’s not like they can’t make contact, I remember you have a saying that distance creates beauty.” Grace was full of concern, “Staying honestly in your own country after independence is nothing that can’t be done with each other. It’s not like we’re trying to kill all the blacks in Africa. There’s enough land for us to live on now.”
Alan Wilson still inevitably opens his mouth to remind that it’s not your land, it’s a British Crown Dependency, and it’s best not to get the wrong idea about such things.
Southern Rhodesia eventually and inevitably went the way of history, began the white and black people on the dominance of Rhodesia, but for the time being, the white people still have the advantage, the white Rhodesian arm of many people and Yoon Smith and Yoon Smith once served in the British army and participated in the Second World War, one of the most famous is the Rhodesian Special Air Service Regiment Squadron and the Selousie reconnaissance unit The most famous of these were the Rhodesian Special Air Service Squadron and the Selousie Reconnaissance Unit.
Most members of these units not only participated in World War II and many post-war operations, with a wealth of experience in special operations, but also mastered the complete military training methods, can provide training for other inexperienced troops, combat strength far more than the resistance to the black armies.
And South Rhodesia south of South Africa, the east is the Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, the north is the Rhodesian royal territory where Grace, South Rhodesia’s black armies exist in a situation of isolation on all sides, relying on their own can not be South Rhodesia whites how to do.
But the sporadic armed conflict, but also inevitably affected Grace them, because the North Rhodesia exported minerals are exported through South Africa, to go through the South Rhodesia. Now that Southern Rhodesia was unstable, it would definitely affect the interests of these Balkan remnants.
“By the way, I didn’t see madam this time I came, is she in Perth and still not back.” Grace opened his mouth to inquire, shouldn’t Pamela Mountbatten stay in London at this time of the year? Why hadn’t he seen her? This was too much, he had just helped take out Churchill’s son.
“She’s been busy with something lately. Not in London.” Alan Wilson hurriedly opened his mouth to pacify, “Went on a study trip to the European continent, won’t be back until a few days.”
Regarding the reaction to the Anglo-German financial summit a week earlier, the French had given it away, with the Bank of France announcing its intention to convert all new inflows of dollar reserves, as well as some of its existing dollar reserves, into gold.
Reinforcing his scathing criticism of America’s laissez-faire fiscal policy, President de Gaulle has proposed two global monetary reforms, with the ambitious goal of strengthening the role of gold in the global monetary system. Outlawing the international reserve currency status of the US dollar and the British pound, “gold has no nationality and is accepted eternally and universally.”
Finance Minister Giscard d’Estaing reiterated France’s claim. Destin denounced the super-hegemony of the dollar enjoyed by the United States: it has profited enormously from the unrestricted issuance of constantly depreciating dollar bills, this time to massive investments abroad.
The so-called Anglo-German financial summit, for the time being, did not scare the French at all, who still believe that, in the choice between the dollar and gold, France cannot lose in any way.
The financial center of the European continent is in Switzerland, Pamela Mountbatten went to Zurich, ready to get their due under the cover of the French, as for the main source of funds, it is through the HSBC in Hong Kong and Malaya’s Sarawak Development Bank to operate.
This thing Grace or do not know better, Allen Wilson is also for the good of this Rhodesia Festival Minister, of course, this time Grace is not in vain, he and three respectively represent different forces, is over to accept the award of honors, in recognition of the outstanding contribution to the Rhodesian royal territory.
The specifications of the award is quite high, held in Buckingham Palace, Alan Wilson also went over to rub a hot, sister-in-law also came to add color to this award.
Everything seemed to be in its happy state, except for the unfortunate death of Senator Churchill due to drunk driving, and of course the frightened perpetrator, who couldn’t leave right now, always waiting until the wind had passed.
“What has Mr. Turing been up to lately?” Alan Wilson inquired with a businesslike even tone about the recent agenda of Her Royal Highness, our greatest British scientist of modern times.
“Still stuck with the work you’ve arranged, what with the Royal Semiconductor Institute.” Princess Margaret sniffed and blankly glanced at the Supreme Authority, which in the eyes of others might have been defending her husband.
But both parties understood that the princess was secretly connoting that Supreme Authority had a greatly bad conscience, arranging the princess’s husband for so many jobs, and replacing the most important job for someone else herself.
“the semiconductor industry is extremely important to Britain, involves economic development.” Alan Wilson was righteous, he was all for the sake of Britain’s future.
Lately Europe has been running mainly around a war of words between the UK and France, with the UK slamming France as undermining the financial order of the free world, and saying they won’t stand by and watch.
And France accuses the UK of being a Trojan horse within Europe, with France pulling the strings of Belgium and Italy, and the UK pulling the strings of Germany and Sweden, and spewing as much spit as they like within Europe.
Britain patted itself on the back and assured the U.S. that it would never let the French jump too high while the U.S. was busy with the war, which allowed the U.S. to let go a little and start concentrating on Vietnam.
At the same time, the Vietnam battlefield has also seen new changes, the United States will be the South Vietnamese army and the Korean army for the whole training, in the area close to North Vietnam began the sweeping mode. Seeking to sweep away the troops infiltrating under North Vietnam, Britain did not participate in the war, but secretly sent military advisers to observe and accumulate combat experience to see if it could one day be used in Indonesia.
In addition to the nominal military advisors, there was also the British Intelligence Service stationed in South Vietnam, which, in addition to highlighting the special relationship between Britain and the United States, incidentally had individuals who were secretly investigating the issue of war crimes. Britain and the US had such a good relationship that of course they couldn’t be investigating atrocities against the US military, but rather were seeing if the South Korean doppelgangers were letting their hair down.
