Chapter 1440: Even Dad is Deceived

After the Kremlin’s discussion, it was decided to explain this out-buying in the name of replenishing the reserve grain, the USSR also had a reserve grain system, usually one-tenth of the annual production of retained grain, roughly twenty-five million tons of grain, and even in a good harvest year, it would still out-buy grain.

In fact the international market is aware of the broad figures of the Soviet Union’s outbound grain purchases, so this time Alexeyev went to London, even if it was known by others, it would not cause surprise.

At this time the supreme authority, is talking to the good eldest son, far away in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, David, fortunately he has a good eldest son, unfortunately he does not only have a good eldest son, now all is considered okay, to be all in the British mainland development, then Alan Wilson will have a headache.

David carefully asked his father where he was calling from and was relieved to hear it wasn’t in Whitehall, “Father, how is mother now?”

“Vivian’s cooking and seems to be going around with your sister later.” Alan Wilson glanced at the Great British Treasure in the kitchen, “You’re not in London, she has to have something to do. Producing the show can’t take up all the time either.”

David nodded into the microphone, so it was shopping with his half-sister, which was actually good. What did the old father seem to call the cheaper sister’s father, the ex-brother?

“Everyone’s time is valuable, how’s Dakar doing.” Alan Wilson had a flat posture, a posture that wasn’t tiring, but supreme authority was rather annoying to wait for, no one did that to him in Whitehall, and that was his own son, where the others got that treatment.

“There’s a lot I’d like to say then.” As soon as David heard that his old father wasn’t in Whitehall, he immediately went on and on, and the figures claimed by the High Commissioners around the world for aid didn’t match up at all with the figures that had reached Chittagong.

“Two hundred million and fifty million isn’t that far off.” Alan Wilson was alarmed and took out the figures reported by the High Commissioners from all over the world from inside the briefcase he had brought with him, a dehydrated version of course, “Isn’t there still the sixty million pounds that you brought over.”

“It’s true that two hundred million pounds and fifty million pounds aren’t far apart, but the bill I received was for three and a half hundred million pounds, and what arrived was indeed fifty million.” David said with a long sigh, “Do the native donations of rotten barrels, broken radios, and rusty bicycles count?”

“Why doesn’t it count? It’s not like they can’t be used! And it has to be counted as new.” Alan Wilson replied calmly, “I have a project on my side, and when it’s done the rebuilding supplies will be flowing in. The point is, it’s important to get all of Rahman’s Bengal People’s League to recognize that even though we didn’t ship all of our promises to Bengal, they’re still going to have to pay it all back. Move on top of consumables, food kind of stuff turns to shit when you eat it, who can find out? Even the Soviet Union, which did everything to plan, couldn’t do it.”

“As far as the mess in Bengal is concerned, it’s good to have someone to help and pick on? You tell Rahman that this is doing Bengal’s business on Britain’s dime, go around the world can he find any country willing to help?”

Of course there was, the Soviet Union, one of the two famous ingrates of the Cold War, might have gone up with a hot head and two high hats.

Now there is also the role of the Soviet Union, except that all the glory will go to my Great Britain, the Soviet Union is not no gain, raw materials and gold can be compared?

The Soviet Union in the scale of basic industry, two years ago, the Soviet Union steel production has exceeded the United States, nineteen sixty-five the Soviet Union’s cement production also exceeded the United States to become the world’s first. This kind of thing in this era of the Soviet Union is not in short supply, if you can choose, the Soviet Union is certainly willing to use steel and cement instead of gold to buy food.

“Keep a copy of the supplies arriving in Bengal from all over the world for yourself, you’ll have to reconcile with the High Commissioners when the time comes.” Alan Wilson softly instructed, this is all very important stuff.

Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Andropov, who had just come out of the Kremlin, returned to the KGB headquarters at Lubyanka XI, called Arikseyev to him, and then bluntly instructed, “The purchase of diversified payments for food is very much recognized above, and in fact, there is one more thing, except that it is a secret for your rank. We can substitute diamonds for a portion of the payment if England wishes. Personally I’d certainly like to negotiate that.”

“Are there giant diamond mines in the country?” Alikseyev was astonished, how come he had never heard of it? There were giant diamond mines in his own country?

“Of course there is, and in terms of production even if it is the world’s first, it is the quality that has to be carefully selected. Otherwise, how come our country’s glass knives are in every household.” Andropov was proud to say, “Only the industry of diamonds is not enough for us to get on board.”

Diamonds are a precious thing to many countries, or a big income for South Africa, but that income of South Africa is too insignificant compared to the expenses of the Soviet Union.

The world’s largest diamond mine is not in South Africa, but in the Soviet Union, the Mirne diamond field from 1955, the discovery of the discovery of the strictest secrecy, in the midst of clandestine mining.

In addition to this diamond mine, just last year the Soviet Union also discovered a meteorite crater, meteorite impact led to the emergence of a huge amount of diamonds, this crater is located in East Siberia Pepigai.

In addition to these two natural diamond sources, the Soviet Union is also at the forefront of synthetic diamonds, with the Lebedev Institute of Physics in Moscow being the home base for such synthetic diamonds.

Alexeyev set out again with confidence, taking with him several accountants from the Committee for Planning and Economy, who were ready to check costs during the negotiations.

Idea to play good, change other people really may be fooled, but it is the supreme authority to do so can not, listening to a good big child with the greatest sincerity, with the face of the expression of meat pain, Alan Wilson a I treat you as my own son, you even so to my look, “diamonds, this thing, unless the good quality of the big diamonds, or not much value, and? Big diamonds are also not something that the average person can afford, and are not good to get rid of.”

Anyone else in the world, seeing an offer that can be traded for diamonds, might have a hard time refusing, but it happens to not include Allen Wilson, the keyway man, who happens to know that the USSR has the technology of the Soviet Union’s diamonds, and I know that you secretly produce them.

The reason Soviet diamonds, also known as cubic zirconia subsequently replaced all the raw materials for grinding fake diamonds is because it has properties very similar to real diamonds. Cubic zirconia still differs from diamonds in a number of ways; first of all, in terms of hardness, no substance is harder than diamond, and cubic zirconia is no exception.

In addition, the specific gravity of cubic zirconia is nearly twice as high as that of diamonds, and the difference in weight from real diamonds is easy to detect.

Soviet diamonds are nothing more than a substitute for diamonds in this era, coincidentally, or the Soviet Union is the big brother of a major country, Henan is the center of artificial diamonds in the world in the twenty-first century. Isn’t it true that countries with similar systems conduct similar research?

Simply do not believe that diamonds have value Allen Wilson how can agree to this kind of substitution, not to mention the Soviet diamond, even if it is a real diamond, the real diamonds Soviet Union is not short of.

Alexeyev was shocked, this is absolutely different from what he imagined, according to his idea, the British should be gleefully accepted only right.

Other British people will be happy to accept, precisely his biological father will not accept, no matter how Alexeyev persuasion, do not nod.

Really was annoyed, Alan Wilson thought also his own son, “ten carats or more diamonds, I will let De Beers to do the appraisal. I can only see the weight right or wrong, but definitely not hidden from them. De Beers know put, Pamela has shares in that company, the appraiser can come anytime.”

Alexeyev is also for the country, Allen Wilson is not good to say anything, directly open the mouth to let the Soviet Union do not take out the Soviet diamond to make a fool of themselves. If the Soviet Union could have its own little old brother a certain big country like that, can play out man-made diamonds and natural diamonds do not have any difference, that is certainly a big problem.

But it took a certain great power the twenty-first century to do that, and it was unlikely that the Soviet Union would be able to do it in this day and age.

This is all to see in Pamela Mountbatten has De Beers shares on the back, he only opened ten carat weight above can talk about, otherwise in accordance with his own ideas, and carbon is a thing of diamonds, but also want to fool him?

Agree also because Pamela Mountbatten really have a cow, to prevent the Soviet Union to the indigenous diamond mine output out to mess up the market, so to collect the Soviet Union.

“Brat, even want to take advantage of me.” Leaving the meeting place, Allen Wilson began to Bibi chatter, went home and informed Pamela Mountbatten about it.

“The Soviets actually have diamonds in their hands? It can’t be that the Tsar’s family left them behind, right?” Pamela Mountbatten was astonished, she had never heard of diamond mines in the Soviet Union.

“What about such a big country, the number one territorial power in the world.” Alan Wilson sighed, “I’d say ten carat weight or more is negotiable.”

“It can’t be a fake, now the world does have a synthetic diamond that looks a lot like a diamond, and I don’t know where it came from.” Pamela Mountbatten certainly wasn’t like her husband who didn’t care a bit about compressed carbon, she could have shares in De Beers and was very aware of that aspect.

“Transferred a group of appraisers, absolutely can not hide.” Alan Wilson said to himself isn’t this the Soviet diamond, but for the sake of family harmony, he needs to shut up now, “It’s just a disagreement on the means of payment, the first batch of grain is definitely going to be in gold, and the order can be placed from Rhodesia, and Asia, right now. Never mind that the deal is ready to start being prepared.”

“It’s not bad either, if there’s a diamond of a hundred carats or more, I’ll give it to Her Majesty. Elizabeth will be very happy.” Pamela Mountbatten started jumping around in her mind and began to find a home for the big diamonds, still enjoying herself, her face filled with pride.
