For the time being, the Congress Party will not disturb the tranquility of the Governor's House during this time. Governor Mountbatten enjoys a moment of tranquility and asks Alan Wilson and Sir Barron what they think of this.

Sit and watch! Both Sir Barron and Alan Wilson, who were at the same time, replied in their hearts. Sir Barron was the first to say, "At such a sensitive time, it is better not for the Governor's Office to express its position. After all, this is India's own business, if we participate in it. , according to the lessons of the past, the rebound force brought by this kind of interference will eventually feed back to ourselves.”

Alan Wilson's role is much simpler, with a look of admiration and admiration. If he needs to speak, he can only extend his thumb, "High, really high."

"The matter of British India has been dealt with, and the next step is Myanmar. At present, there is not much progress left. It is nothing more than the issue of international trade settlement in sterling." Alan Wilson read the conditions sent from London and the problems that were solved. Of course there are many more, the most important of which is the issue of the pound.

As long as the sterling issue is resolved, the remaining issues are actually not that important. The Governor's Office's opinion is to use the positioning of the native state in exchange for India's commitment to sterling settlement of international trade after India's independence.

This matter is the most important thing in London. If there is also an oil currency in this era, it is actually not the dollar.

Most of the oil in the Middle East is still in the hands of the United Kingdom. There is no petrodollar, only petrosterling.

But what? The United States has a nuclear bomb, but the United Kingdom does not currently have it.

At this time, the United States will definitely not think of the operation of petrodollars, not only because the Breston Woods system itself is relatively beneficial to the United States, but also because the United States is an oil exporter.

The first oil crisis marked the first oil crisis in the conversion of US dollars into petrodollars.

Since Charles de Gaulle brought back gold, in the 1960s and 1970s, the international financial market sold off a large number of dollars, snapped up gold and other hard currencies, causing the international credit of the dollar to shake.

The main reasons for the dollar crisis are: the weakening of the foreign economic strength of the United States, the deficit in the balance of payments year after year, the loss of a large amount of gold reserves, and the insufficient credit guarantee of the dollar abroad.

In order to defuse the selling frenzy led by Britain, France and Germany, before the first oil crisis, the London-New York financial group stopped using the U.S. dollar as the currency standard, the United States abolished the gold standard, the Bretton Woods system began to collapse, and various countries implemented floating exchange rate systems.

In order to solve the dollar predicament, Dr. Kissinger proposed the "Petrodollar Recycling" plan, which is essentially to launch a huge blow to the world's industrial growth and to shift the balance of power back to the US financial interests and the US dollar.

Of course, any adjustment will come at a price, and America's already powerful oil industry is on the verge of being sacrificed.

In the 1970s, the United States began to implement a ban on oil exports, preventing domestic oil from entering the international market to interfere with prices, and protecting the interests of oil-producing countries in the Middle East after the oil crisis.

Until King Wang repealed the ban, the United States controlled domestic oil, either not drilling it or controlling access to the international market, in order to bind oil-producing countries in the Middle East.

At present, the Breston Woods system is still solid, and the United States cannot make adjustments.

For at least 20 years, the Breston Woods system will still play a role. As for 20 years later, it will depend on how much national strength of the United Kingdom is left. If all the colonies are lost, the pound that currently exists in the Middle East will still be replaced by the dollar. .

As long as the national strength and military strength are not enough, it is inevitable that the pound will be wiped out by the dollar in the end. After thinking about it, Alan Wilson still thinks that the nuclear bomb is more important, and it is still a powerful Royal Navy on the earth. How many successes are left.

If it still ends up breaking a few ships, the UK will still be unable to avoid the end of being a valet. This kind of thing is like this. Anyway, Alan Wilson believes that no one has it as well as himself, and who has the right to be independent, who is willing to be a follower?

Blood is thicker than water between Britain and the United States, and he, an Englishman, does not want the country to become a subsidiary of the United States. The reverse is best.

In the afternoon, Alan Wilson received the telegram from Hyderabad, put away the telegram quietly, and then went back to read after get off work. Vivien Leigh dealt with the marriage change, and now he is in the United States.

From the telegram, Alan Wilson can feel the sincere thoughts. Vivien Leigh said in the telegram that she is promoting the film about the filming in British India with the members of the girlfriend group. The daughter of India is very busy every day.

Alan Wilson almost forgot that he also helped accumulate materials to enhance India's international influence.

If there is also a situation of political interference in art in Hollywood, this documentary will definitely win an award, but it is hard to estimate what award it will win.

He felt that it would be best to release the documentary after British India became independent, so that it would not interfere with the current work of British India.

Regarding the rumors of the marriage change, Vivien Leigh said that she and Mr. Oliver have dissolved the marriage. Although there are occasional twists and turns, it is still a peaceful breakup. Vivien Leigh will devote the rest of the time to affirmative action and charity. Of course, she did not give up the film career.

In the end, he expressed that he was in a state of confusion in his life and hoped to get the guidance of Alan Wilson.

When he saw this, Alan Wilson couldn't control his fiery heart, and immediately guided Great Britain Treasure.

It is a pity that the affairs of British India are not over yet, and I can only express in the reply letter that British India cannot leave Ai Zhongtang's teaching for a day, which involves the future of hundreds of millions of people, and it is really impossible to leave now.

The Governor's Palace is calm as usual, and the Congress party is still in the middle of reconciliation and separation, understanding and quarrel. In notoriety are several important leaders of the Congress Party as well as Ali Jinnah.

But Gandhi was undoubtedly at the center of the storm. Alan Wilson had a small wish to see the saint ascend to heaven before leaving British India. I wonder if this small wish could come true.

Late at night, sitting on a straw mat, Gandhi lamented to his grandniece Manu: "Now I am alone. Even Nehru thought I was wrong. It seems like I've gotten a little confused as the years go by. They may have a point, and I'm fighting in vain in the dark."

Manu looked at Gandhi and said, "Don't think so much. Others have abandoned you, and I am here. You took me away from death, and I will not leave you, even though all your followers have left you. ."

Gandhi let out a long hiss, "Soon I may return to the West, and I will not experience this disaster myself, but if the sufferings I fear come to India and endanger India's independence, then future generations should know that an old man who is dying, whenever he is dying. Thinking of these unfortunate disasters, his heart is so distressed and sad."

Alan Wilson didn't know that Gandhi still had such a request. If he knew, he believed that the saint's wish would definitely move the gods, but he did not dare to get rid of the saint, but he could create some opportunities to shock those who wanted to The people of the world are convenient.

The contradiction between religions is the eldest brother, let alone the second brother. He believes that the news that Gandhi proposed to let Ali Jinnah manage the post-independence India will definitely arouse hostility from many people.

At this time in London, there were also very important changes for the civil servants of the British Empire. Edward Bridges officially resigned from the position of cabinet secretary, and the head of the civil servants of the British Empire became Norman Brooke.

In fact, as early as before World War II was over, Norman Brooke was already a powerful figure in Whitehall civil servants.

This time, Edward Bridges actually did not fully retire. Instead, he became the head of the civil service in name, but he did not have such a big civil servant in actual power. In fact, Alan Wilson was quite familiar with this operation, and the two of them worked together.

Edward Bridges is just stepping down from his position as cabinet secretary ~lightnovelpub.net~ It's far too early for real retirement.

Alan Wilson, however, was unfamiliar with the new cabinet secretary and consulted Sir Barron.

"It's no different, for us officials, it can't be said that stability is more than everything, but it is certainly more stable than the politicians who come and go. Sir Norman has also worked in Whitehall for a long time. Interacting with Sir Edward is very good. long."

Sir Barron thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say what will be different, except that Sir Norman is more intimate with politicians, the rest should not change."

Just when the two were discussing the changes at the top in London, the first telegram from Norman Brooke as Cabinet Secretary was sent in by Commissioner Secretary Edel. Sir Barron took the telegram and read it, and said to Alan Wilson at the same time, "The candidate for the deputy prime minister of British India has basically been determined to be Nehru. It will be officially announced in a few days!"

"Look at it, I said that there is no change, it's just that the two people's signatures have changed before and after."

The telegram was sent in the joint names of Norman Brooke and Edward Bridges, with Norman Brooke's name on the front and Edward Bridges' name on the back.

Alan Wilson took the telegram, looked at the contents, and said, "Before the official appointment, should we take the initiative to contact Nehru, and we can sell Nehru a favor."

"Like we've helped him as Deputy Prime Minister of British India?" Sir Barron suppressed a laugh. "He knows a lot about our British politics."

"It's because of understanding!" Alan Wilson said calmly, "We pretended to contribute to this matter, and there is no loss in claiming that."
