Chapter 968: Hoarding Silver
Alan Wilson is naturally unaware that, in the eyes of the current U.S. Secretary of State, the United Kingdom has gone from being a model in the field of diplomacy to an existence that even has problems with strategic vision, and to accomplish such a transformation in the eyes of the Americans is just a short ten years.
The impermanence of life is evident in the fact that the United States has now fully accepted the position of world hegemony psychologically.
Arrogance breeds the conviction that he is right, and if anyone opposes, then it must be the one who opposes who is wrong.
But even if he knew it, there was no way to refute the Americans, in the industrial age, the conditions in North America were truly wonderful, completely different from the agricultural age, which was harvested from time to time by the cold currents of the Arctic Ocean.
As has always been recognized, the country compared is the size of the country and the population, other aspects and the first two are considered unimportant.
It’s not that Britain didn’t stop American expansion, in fact the merger out of the Canadian Confederation was itself a desire to keep the British North American colonies from being annexed.
Only with the sacrifice of Louis XVI, Britain from the beginning did not stop the United States independence, and later moves can not move back to the disadvantage. In fact, Britain should have realized that land and population are the most important things for a country from an earlier time.
The Seven Years’ War Britain completely trampled France underfoot, at least in the war in North America, Britain is relying on the population advantage of the North American colonies, crushed the French immigrants are not much of New France, won the battlefield in the Americas.
After the independence of the United States grew stronger and stronger, the British suppression is also more and more weak. Finally evolved into today’s situation, now it is no longer how to think about how to regain the position of world supremacy, but to retain the current position not to fall.
Fei Wenli is not like and her husband the same status of men, even in another country far away from the United Kingdom is still worrying about the country, the Great British Treasure in one easy, extraordinarily cherish to be able to do nothing to worry about the time, want to sit on a rocket on the rocket, want to oral arguments on the oral argument, hate to hang on Alan Wilson’s body.
Afterthought of the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also back to God, understand the mind of the great British treasure, opened the PUA skills, “Why don’t you take a look at your friends, a trip to the United States should have a crossroads.”
Fei Wenli’s friends, it’s not like he doesn’t know them, some of them are still very familiar, all of them have gone through in-depth exchanges.
“Go to Los Angeles to see well?” Fei Wenli knows Alan Wilson has important things in the body, first asked the itinerary in said.
“I am a secret visit, talk about the affairs should not be public, so it is to vacation way to the United States.” Allen Wilson is of course truthful, persuade the United States to give up the fraudulent island to stabilize the situation in Asia, this kind of thing can be public?
This kind of condition is simply humiliating to the intelligence of the Americans, the Americans did not turn around and let the UK give up Xiangjiang are considered to be restrained.
So in essence, he is in the Asia-Pacific issue of a secret visit, as long as do not stay in the United States do not go back, time is still quite abundant, can again within the permissible range around.
He would have been secretly coming to the US under the guise of a vacation to practice the Foreign Secretary’s grandiose blueprints, except that it was sure to fail.
The rest of the time was up to him, and Allen Wilson still hadn’t forgotten to get together with the McCarthys to cement the special Anglo-American relationship, McCarthy still being very important.
“Expressing goodwill to China?” McCarthy asked incredulously rhetorically, seemingly recognizing this friend for the first time, “Allen, I would have thought that there was a lot of common ground between us.”
“Of course there’s a lot in common, the perspective on issues is amazingly consistent.” Alan Wilson straightened up, he had even helped McCarthy get rid of Chaplin, except it was something McCarthy didn’t need to know about.
Chaplin’s death was still better suited to be tied to a covert CIA operation, which was better for everyone.
After a look of annoyance at being questioned, Allen Wilson then told his old friend that he actually questioned the policy. Not all for it, just not adamantly against it.
This line of reasoning was always acceptable to McCarthy, shaking his head, “I’m puzzled that Britain seems to have lost its sharpness after the war.”
“Better to say it became more realistic.” Alan Wilson didn’t deny it, and the main thing he didn’t deny was that he was lying.
In fact the citizens of Britain itself still considered Britain a world empire, not much worse than the United States and the Soviet Union.
It’s just that there is a segment of the upper class that believes that Britain should be in a position of subordination to the United States. This would include Macmillan, the number two of the Conservative Party, but definitely not Aidan, the number one.
The Labor side is much more pragmatic and is still practicing the strategy of creeping backward and trying to slow down the disintegration of the British colonial empire as much as possible.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is another way of saying the same thing as the anti-war rhetoric of delaying change and exchanging space for time. Looking for the time to make a comeback while retreating in an orderly manner.
Alan Wilson certainly knows where the timing is, and until then it’s still important to try to solidify the UK’s position; decline too hard and there’s no hope of a comeback.
Traveling on a Boeing on a domestic US airline, the two were soon in Los Angeles, and it was clear from this point on. The United States domestic trade protection is how serious, the British Comet airliners have long been all over the national airlines, the United States hard to hold up for so many years, a jet routes are not open, but also do not allow the Comet airliners to come in.
However, the Comet airliner has accumulated many years of effect is still there, as long as there is no big problem, the future and Boeing in the world in the world or to do.
After a trip to the Los Angeles consulate to check in, Alan Wilson’s current public-private portion of the trip came down to private vacation time.
Lana Turner and Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, would all come from old friends to express their delight, and of course this delight was mainly directed at Vivien Leigh, and it has to be said that the Great British Treasure was indeed quite well liked.
Even if already as the president of the United States company, Fei Wenli and these either out of fashion or soon to be out of fashion actress, still maintain a very good personal relationship, all without overbearing.
“Now their careers are not very good, fortunately, Barbie’s earnings are still good.” Vivien Lei is also very sentimental, looking at Alan Wilson’s gaze full of tenderness, “If it were not for you, I guess I’m about the same as them, which has a good mood now. Now I don’t have much extravagant hope, just hope that God will let David grow up and become a good man like you ……”
This expression of affection from the Great British Treasure almost confused the Executive Undersecretary of the British Empire. Completely unprepared for this confession, “Actually, there is another opportunity, if Vivian will believe me, to acquire silver right now.”
Alan Wilson thought back for a moment, and really remembered an opportunity to make a profit, and that was silver. This was something that Vivienne was currently able to do, as she herself had industries in the United States.
This deal can be called a sure thing, first of all, from their own resources, the United States itself is a silver-producing countries, silver itself has a certain monetary properties, often as a gold backup.
In fact, it is true, the current U.S. coins, is still minted in silver, currently in the world, with silver coins made in the country has not much, the United States is one of them, the U.S. coins are accurately called silver coins.
Politically speaking, because the United States of America’s huge silver reserves, the United States of America two parties, especially the Democratic Party, there is a group called the silver party, this group is quite strong, from the United States westward movement has become the climate, the turn of the century, William Bryan was very much supported by the silver party.
William Blaine campaigned on the Silver Policy, a policy based on the unlimited minting of silver coins at a ratio of sixteen to one silver to gold. On this platform, he also accepted the nomination of the Plain Dealer Party and the National Silver Party against William McKinley, who was backed by a coalition of Rockefeller, Morgan, and Carnegie.
Although William Bryan never won the election, the influence of the Silver Partiers was not dissipated and has always existed among the Democrats, a fairly influential group within the Democratic Party.
Alan Wilson can remember that the Silverites once again gave Kennedy their full support after Kennedy took office. There are rumors that Kennedy’s final assassination was also related to the struggle for silver and gold.
Whether this news is true to put aside, but one thing is certain, that is, the United States in Kennedy’s term, silver did have a wave of dramatic rise, if the hands of the funds hoarded silver, when silver rises will make a fortune.
Even if things in the long run, hoarding silver will not lose, silver is the most important thing is used to make jewelry. Silver jewelry has a large market in the world, and there are a lot of silver products made of various types of items such as tableware and furniture.
Silver in electronic products also occupies a very important position, but silver used in the field of electronics is not playing silverware used in pure silver, electronic products in the silver used in various types of silver composite compounds, so the demand for silver is very large, so most of the silver is used in the production of electronic products.
These two points have caused, the value of silver has a bottom line, hoarding in the hands of the devaluation of the odds are not big.
Fei Wenli is not understand these objective conditions, especially the knowledge base in the man’s head, but the Great British Treasure unconditionally trusts this man, she believes that Alan Wilson will not victimize their mother and son, “Since you say so, I will pay attention to this aspect, if it loses money, you can’t leave me and David alone at that time.”
“I think that I can still hold my own in this aspect of treating women.” Alan Wilson asked himself, he didn’t seem to have wronged a certain lady on equal footing with his wife in this regard, not a single one.
“Go see how Monroe is doing, I haven’t seen her in a long time.” Vivienne inquired as she snuggled into the man’s arms.
“That’s fine with me, she’s not an over the hill star, do you want any gifts?” Alan Wilson kissed Vivien Leigh’s forehead, “Otherwise it seems a little undignified.”
