Chapter 1352 Preparation and Grinding
Brezhnev was a very practical man, and although he was more able to push for the expansion of Soviet influence than Khrushchev, he didn’t actually believe in any ideals.
In France, not to mention the fact that there were Trotskyists making a mess, even if they were really scientific socialists, he felt that the Soviet Union didn’t have the ability to support them, so he might as well take this opportunity to sort things out in his own camp.
France’s this bout of chaos, let Brezhnev interested in, in fact, France and the United States of America’s gold squeeze war, but unfortunately the financial field is the Soviet Union’s short board, although the intelligence among the recent financial war between Europe and the United States expressed quite clear, but the Soviet Union really can not help what help.
Fortunately, Brezhnev is not a tangled person, naturally no way to think about it, he can take advantage of the time of the European and American gold war has no time to worry about, to solve the Polish problem.
“Comrade Andropov, pay close attention to the melee of several countries in the financial field, we do not participate, but we should know.”
“Understood, Comrade Brezhnev.” Andropov nodded and turned to leave Brezhnev’s office, that left the rest of the day for Number One.
“Comrade Grychko, oh, the moon landing program, this matter is certainly important as well, but I think the Ministry of Defense should come up with a set of battle plans that are more realistic. Yes, Poland, come to the Kremlin and talk about it.”
Brezhnev, who picked up the phone, calmly said, “Once this issue is resolved, the moon landing program will have the full support of the Party and the State. I’m sure we’ll remain the victors in this race to the moon, just as we have been in all the previous ones.”
Chaos is also Alan Wilson’s assessment of this year, and indeed he agrees that the lines between enemies and allies are extraordinarily unclear this year.
The so-called rites and music collapse may be the case, although this rites and music collapse is not a total collapse, only exists in the post-war Bretton Woods system, and the Kabul trapeze after the aspiring middle-aged stupidity everywhere, Russia first began to smash the pot or can not be the same day.
So after some discussion, although a number of countries were launching protests and citizens were showing their untameness, Alan Wilson still felt that the situation was not bad.
Of course it’s not bad, the world hasn’t turned into a Red Sea wrestling yet, and if the Fed is going to shear the sheep, it hasn’t even begun in Latin America, which is the easiest and most powerful, let alone Europe, which is supposed to be the last in the sequence.
Cabinet Secretary’s memory, to Europe to do that are after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in order of sequence is Latin America, Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Latin America was the first place to get stabbed, and Latin America is not even being sheared now, and Europe is still safe.
In the twenty-first century, the United States will not have much choice, Russia, that country is poor and horizontal, Japan has been sheared once, Europe has been sheared once, these two places are still good, at least it is not like Southeast Asia and Latin America, after one time in the also can not grow.
Pamela Mountbatten all of a sudden busy, and the major British banks in tandem, ready to last year that unsuccessful sniping pound to find the French to settle scores.
Alan Wilson, of course, on behalf of Whitehall support, but also provided their own intelligence support, “the franc and the dollar than is not considered powerful, but the offense and defense are different, French Africa can provide the Bank of France how much ammunition, those bankers must consider this issue. Besides it’s not like the franc has overissued the dollar by so much”
According to the agreement for the independence of the French African countries, with this agreement the Central Bank of West African States gave half of its foreign exchange reserves to the French treasury as collateral. Critics of the CFA franc see the obligation as a shameful dependence on France.
French government officials serve on the management of the West African Common Monetary Agency. Both the French Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Banque de France participate in regular meetings twice a year, one of which is still held in Paris.
The two backing points for the latter-day euro are the economic system that Germany established in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the other backing for the euro, which is French-controlled Africa.
The CFA franc has moved from being fixed against the franc to a fixed exchange rate against the euro, and France is still the guarantor of the CFA franc, which hasn’t changed just because the franc has become the euro.
“How much can African countries come up with to support the franc?” Pamela Mountbatten was noncommittal, when did the world’s economic map have anything to do with Africa.
“Can’t help that half of Africa speaks French, oh, and take out the DRC and Congo Brazzaville, that’s already owned by the Soviet Union.”
Alan Wilson mused still cautioning not to be taken lightly, “But I’ve been talking to the Americans in Washington to see if we can mess with France. The only doubt is the fear of the Soviets taking advantage of the situation.”
If you really want to mess with a country, it won’t necessarily be the free world taking advantage of it, this is not a few decades from now, if you play it off and let the Soviet Union dismantle the unfriendly moves of Britain and the United States towards France.
That could be very embarrassing to the free world, and the US had agreed to teach the French a lesson, but it wasn’t prepared to screw France over all at once, let alone do it at all.
“You may not be trusted as an Englishman even though you’ve entered Monet’s circle, I’ll get you another outside man.” Alan Wilson after much deliberation, or to give his wife a little confidence, rest assured and boldly do, “I will be busy in the next two days, I will let you know when I have a good result.”
“Huh?” Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple, “You’re not going to stay at Margaret’s, are you?”
“What are you thinking, I’m doing it all for our country.” Alan Wilson was righteous, Britain could choose to join forces with the United States, but it could also choose Germany.
The intricacies of financial chaos naturally lead to this, the Germans are not a light, the Soviet camp of countries can trip each other it, what’s wrong with the free world? What’s wrong with the free world? Can’t they follow suit?
In any case, must be out of the knife once to prove that the pound is not to be messed with, otherwise what countries are jumping out of the pound to report malicious, this does not become a thousand days to prevent thieves?
Wearing a dry short hair, not grounded Bogina arrived in London, was warmly welcomed by Alan Wilson, he is not to give Germany how much benefit, as long as the Bogina to the national interest as a criterion for consideration, should know which side should stand.
“My dear, I have always respected you two sisters.” Alan Wilson opened his persuasive work, hoping that the two sisters, as well as the German industrialists at their backs, would be on the right side.
“Let’s get your pants up before you say that.” Bokina glanced at the man’s elephantine nose, and lightly cha-cha-cha’d at the meanness of a certain English gentleman.
“Is my hypocrisy and lack of pretense a reason to get slammed now?” Alan Wilson didn’t move a muscle, don’t ask, ask means white people with bad skin need to tan hard.
If there are Germans to join in, even if there is no United States to join in, with the power of the Anglo-German alliance will also dominate, I hope that Germany will not sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers also because, there is half of Africa to support the franc is also not good with the role of the attack may have been powerless, but the defense is not good to chew.
As for the operation is not difficult, how France treats the United States squeeze gold, other countries can also be done as the law, because essentially everything has not changed, France did not let the Bretton Woods system collapse, since there is no collapse, gold is still gold.
“What the hell?” Efforts to arouse Allen Wilson’s sense of shame failed, and Bokina could only sit honestly next to the man, in the first place, she could not even make men of the same status as her husband to raise the security measures, so why bother herself.
“You’ll know in time. It has something to do with the special Anglo-American relationship, but I can’t tell you.” Alan Wilson holding Bokina’s body brazenly spoke, “Prepare the bonds and funds, I’ll take care of everything else, how can we make the French spit out a little bit of gold?”
From now on, Richard White, who had already left his post, was in charge of liaison with the American side, and wasn’t it the Trotskyists, the saying that sometimes we have to get along with the bad guys as well, as well as abandoning the occasional good guy who doesn’t want to cooperate, that suited the current situation just fine.
Thinking in terms of the worst, once the game is played out, Britain and the US must firmly respond to France’s call to help quell the riots due to the influence of Soviet infiltration, the script has been written.
“We should pinpoint the Trotskyists and then use them in lending them the ingredients to shift the blame to the Soviet Union, using force if necessary to defend the free world. Of course we don’t expect this consequence to actually happen. But there is nothing wrong with borrowing the Trotskyists to mess up France and make it pay for the French move to squeeze gold to hurt the United States.”
Richard White set out his views in a conversation with Dennis, the secretary general of the CIA’s Committee for a Free Europe, which had been established in 1949 as the CIA’s most important peripheral organization and the grip responsible for work in Europe.
The special relationship between Britain and the United States is here, Allen Wilson naturally knows what this committee is for, borrowing Trotskyists, in case you can not get De Gaulle, a strong president, the trouble can be brought to the east.
“Students can’t make it big.” Seeing Dennis’ interest, Richard White once again relayed the judgment of the supreme authority, “The student body is best used as a sacrificial lamb, but when it comes down to it, I’m sure the officials within France will calm down and make it clear who France should stand with.”
“It would be better if we could cut Algeria down while we’re at it.” Denis was scheming for something bigger, and he felt that France would be easier to deal with by shrinking down a bit. NATO’s original right to collective self-defense included Algeria, something France had strongly requested to be added when it first joined NATO, but now France was all out of NATO.
“It won’t work, it only stops at teaching France a lesson, it won’t turn into an enemy, if we cut out Algeria first, the French know that’s a big problem.” Received Richard White’s phone Allen Wilson, into the microphone, “No, that is the French army tight control when the place, if the Algeria is not favorable, we can not control. In talk to the Americans!”
