Chapter 1441 – Beware of Pinochet

“Not bad for a family.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth wide, marveling at the unity amongst the royals, but then again, who was exempt from that, family and outsiders were different after all.

Wouldn’t he spit in the other man’s face if he suggested settling with diamonds? Standard products of man-made demand, if not completely worthless, don’t try to come over and fool him.

But Alexeyev came over and said so, he still didn’t reject all of it, stating that diamonds above ten carats weren’t impossible to talk about, and at the crucial moment, he still wanted to take care of the Tsar’s son.

“What does the cabinet side think about this?” Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband what Harold Wilson thought of the matter.

“He’s happy, who wouldn’t be happy to see gold? Gold is naturally …… “Allen Wilson suddenly jammed a bit, he would have liked to say that gold is naturally a currency, but the thought that at this time also topped the youngest U.S. Senator’s Sleeping King banned the Russian gold, the heart is suddenly not so sure.

Hegemony in the hand can happen so anti-common-sense things, also can not say the top of the mountain city stupid, the key is no competitors.

European Union spokesman France’s national strength is still pulling down a little bit, the spokesman are so, not to mention the European Union is full of the United States to support the disciples of the disciples of the United States, that the United States still do not try to follow the word?

Eventually Allen Wilson and the good Dahl reached an agreement, first shipped over two hundred tons of gold in London, converted into pounds to buy food, if enough Britain will also put the pound back into gold, do not have to worry about the United Kingdom will renege on the debt, the Soviet Union is too strong.

In fact, before the negotiation, the ambassadors of the two populous countries have begun to work and talk about the matter of exchanging valuable foreign exchange reserves for ready-to-grow food.

The settlement negotiations allowed the USSR to export steel and cement to Britain to offset part of its share of the gold settlement, which was for the reconstruction of Bangladesh. This matter is better not to use the industrial capacity of Malaya, sudden increase in industrial capacity, by the time the reconstruction is completed, Malaya may be backlogged.

The Soviet Union so large capacity, more or less that does not matter, the same need for five million tons of steel, then, obviously the annual output of one point four or five hundred million tons of the Soviet Union, than thirty-five million tons of Malaya easy to adjust.

The Soviet Union to replenish domestic reserves of food news, and did not cause international food price fluctuations, and even after the news appeared, because the Soviet Union’s demand for the end of this year, international food prices also fell.

Allen Wilson believes that the Soviet Union must be closely watching the movement of international food prices looking for opportunities to enter, two months will certainly see the results.

At this time the cabinet, the prime minister and ministers, for the two hundred tons of gold arrived in London, the news happy, ten Downing Street less a lot of fighting, the atmosphere of its happy.

Alan Wilson, on the other hand, took the telegram of the grain ship from Dalian and gave Alexeev a piece of his mind, “See, isn’t it possible to do the same? I’m sure there will be good news from Bombay soon, too.”

“Britain really has the means.” Aliksheyev’s heart was complicated, two populous countries at least both and the Soviet Union now or before when relations were good, but the UK can talk the talk.

“Because we, Britain, is a true imperialist country, and Britain talk about class feelings is useless, or talk about money is more useful. As for India, that is our original colony.” Alan Wilson proudly puffed out his chest with a smug face, “The Soviet Union can’t do that, or it will be considered a forced debt, we can.”

Look at this old imperialist invincible face, Alexeyev was furious, “I took down the number one country in Southeast Asia in Indonesia in one day.”

“You couldn’t have taken it without me.” Alan Wilson was not surprised at all and let out a light laugh, “I didn’t know it until you said it, but in the end it turned out to be cheap for you.”

Supreme Authority was still surprised at that time, who did the Indonesia thing, only today did he realize that it was the Czar’s son who did it, but how old was he at that time? Unable to help himself, he exclaimed, “You’ve got a lot of nerve.”

Alexeyev was a bit clouded, while Allen Wilson waved his hand, “After all the official business, you should be returning home soon as well, so let’s casually chat.”

“Well, chat.” Complexity flashed across Alexeyev’s face, he felt that this was probably the most complicated father-son relationship in the world, the two were in two camps, and in the middle of the previous negotiation, even if they weren’t completely hostile, at least they hadn’t let their personal feelings get in the way.

He had to admit that this head of the British civil service was a master negotiator, of course, the Potsdam Conference and the other side to talk about is his mother, Foltseva, even the mother can get it right, not to mention the son.

“Did you get promoted after this return? Don’t look at me with this kind of gaze, I’m also happy that you were promoted. I think it’s not enough for you to be the head of the General Directorate, but the heads of the subordinate departments should be about right. After all, Ekaterina is still a few leaders in the Soviet Union anyways.”

Alan Wilson did not even look at the other party’s eyes, just said these words in a speculative tone, “This time the grain purchase, no surprise if it is also a credit, it is not possible to let you immediately promoted later also have a helping hand, I said these are not to get anything on you, you are the Soviet Union for the Soviet Union service is deserved, I’m a Briton also have to consider the interests of Britain. Otherwise you take and carbon a composition of diamonds as a settlement, I will agree.”

Listening to Alan Wilson’s words, Alexeev was silent, “One day if help is needed, on the premise of not violating national interests, I am willing to provide help.”

“Those are my words, you’d better watch yourself.” Alan Wilson snorted a laugh, stretching and pulling on a long note, “You guys have a lot of problems. Even within the Warsaw Pact are there necessarily no problems?”

“What’s the problem? They don’t have that power.” The first thing that came to Alexeyev’s mind was Poland, he was in Warsaw when he was airborne.

“If you want to talk about countries with a grudge against the Soviet Union, most of them have a decent relationship, and come to think of it, it’s Poland. This Catholic country, and Slavic, was instead a big problem for the Soviet Union. Of course this was not a problem unique to the Soviet Union. Ireland next to Britain, Japan and South Korea in East Asia or even Vietnam could be added, Pakistan in South Asia, Mexico next to the U.S. None of them like neighbors that are stronger than they are.”

Alan Wilson also really mentioned Poland, the big country next to a small country if it has not been broad, even if it is afraid in the chance that people really broad.

Then it is easy to think of more, in the United States before the cut territory, Mexico proper Latin America shoulder, Brazil, although the territory is bigger, but the Portuguese want to lead a group of Hispanic or not too easy.

Japan and South Korea also fall into this category, Pakistan is properly a modern version of the peaceful religion that hung on to Hinduism during the agricultural era, and doesn’t want to admit defeat to India even if it can’t be beaten.

Before the expansion of Imperial Russia, the Eastern European hegemony is the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea is the meaning of the name of the Polish state. Poland and Lithuania are the most fiercely anti-Russian countries.

It’s not true to say that all of Eastern Europe is anti-Russian, only Poland and the three big boogers in the Baltics are really anti-Russian, and the Slavic countries in Southeastern Europe were all rescued from the Ottoman Empire by Imperial Russia. The Czech Republic and Slovakia aren’t exactly inimical to Russia either.

Isn’t the reason why it seems like Eastern Europe is anti-Russia is because Russia is weak? They wouldn’t have dared if the Soviet Union was really strong and scared them to death.

Isn’t the comparison between the US and the USSR during the Cold War about the same as that between China and the US in the 21st century, when they were competing across the Pacific Ocean for strategic strength? When you look at the total economic output of China and Russia, Russia has declined by a factor of ten.

Even if we take into account the vastness of Russia and the ruble’s exchange rate, the decline of three or four times is certainly there, then around the restless partners will not jump up and down to perform?

Compared with these countries, the United Kingdom next to Ireland are considered a good deal, Ireland is really not broad, Alan Wilson on the benefit of Ireland still have some confidence. If Ireland also has a broad history, then the Irish problem is even more troublesome.

Since mentioned the problem of the side of the couch, Alan Wilson thought that since in front of him is not someone else, suddenly opened his mouth and said, “I also do not hide from you, Allende is likely to live through next year.”

“What? Chilean President Allende?” Arikseyev was shocked, not expecting to hear such a bombshell, “You won’t lie to me? You also said that the Middle East might be at war.”

“Britain is leaning towards the Arab countries, would America tell Britain when to go to war?”

Alan Wilson bristled, “But our intelligence analyzed that the Middle East would go to war in a short period of time. The US is hiding it from us and we don’t know exactly. But Allende is at risk of a coup d’état, and I’m not analyzing that. There has to be an economic crisis to facilitate a coup, and you’ll know it then.”

Of course that was a lie, again he didn’t have Chile to ask for coup information and because of that he dared to call it out unless there was a Yuri like figure in the US who could follow the wave of ideas and check on him as the supreme authority.

Otherwise it would just be paranoia within his own country, whether it was another Soviet spy who had infiltrated inside the American hierarchy.

And it’s good for Britain too, the USSR puts your national power where the US would really jump at it, don’t always make it about Europe, Latin America is where the US would definitely jump at it.

Since the eyes of Cuba made such a thing, the United States of America on the whole of the Americas can be said to be tightly guarded, Allende successive election opponents are funded by the United States of America, from the beginning of Allende in power, the United States is trying to find a way to coup d’état.

The USSR was so able to favor Latin America, wouldn’t it be much better to favor Latin America than to favor some Sudan or Somalia?

“In the long run, population smuggling in Latin America will be a big problem for the US. But it will take time to prove it.” Alan Wilson stood to talk, although the population of the United Kingdom has not changed much since the war.

But he had specifically investigated that it wasn’t the UK’s fertility rate that had plummeted, but rather Whitehall’s guidance to emigrate to Australia had had an effect, and the UK’s demographics were still considered healthy.

The supreme authority who decided to fill Alexeyev’s shoes, plotted one in the last meeting the good Dale was going back to, about the linkage between the war in the Middle East and the coup in Chile, and then suddenly looked as if he remembered something, “You seem to be holding a lot of prisoners in Cuba?”

“There is that!” Alexeyev nodded, this kind of new-age exile, the Americans knew about it, didn’t use it to bash the Soviet Union, and he didn’t know what the purpose of putting them there was.

“Let Castro be put in the US when he makes his move. Add to that Cuba’s own pro-American group, a couple hundred thousand, I think, and that’s enough to keep America’s hands full for half a month.” Alan Wilson lifted his weight and said, “It’s best to try to have all three things happen at one point in time, depending on what you KGB can do. This Pinochet man must be watched, he’s dangerous.”

A very old sound bite, Alexeyev didn’t need to thank him, it was all due, the entire Americas sterling’s share of the settlement was only six percent, the rest was all in dollars.

America is a good battlefield, Allen Wilson, this is in the special relationship between Britain and the United States to consider, the United States in their own base camp fighting, that is not the upper hand? The Soviet Union in the palm of your hand?

“Once Latin America is in turmoil, the locals will only hate the United States. Don’t worry and do it boldly.” Alan Wilson was already putting on his jacket then stopped again, “Tell Ekaterina about the conversation you and I had today. As of now, you can’t match your mother’s pattern. Pay more attention to the political situation in the U.S. Watergate will not end so simply.”
