In the city of Basra, the flags of the six countries have been prepared at the venue. However, when seeing the Indian flag flying high, Alan Wilson still had a hard time calming down. A strange thing was mixed in, but I believe that history will be corrected.

The Persian Gulf High Commissioner and the Malaya High Commissioner also came to Basra, corresponding to the Middle East and Far East Joint Operations Command, responsible for British interests on the line east of the Suez Canal.

The main reason is that Alan Wilson is boring. Although Vivien Leigh also came to support the logistics, he can't just sit on the rocket and do nothing.

The other countries have not yet arrived. John and Richard accompanied Allen Wilson around, and mentioned their current work difficulties by the way, "I heard that German capital has entered Iran, called Hellmann Petroleum Company. It is said that it is What the two sisters control is quite powerful in the Federal Republic of Germany."

"I know these two women. They were white gloves in the British-occupied area back then." Alan Wilson didn't deliberately hide anything, and pretended not to know him, but seemed guilty, "Yesterday's friends have become today's opponents, the world is so wonderful. "

Richard shook his head and said, "Don't say that Germany is not weak in the first place. Even the elites in the colonies will not be so obedient after a long time. As Chinese businessmen in Malaya began to contact neighboring Southeast Asian countries, I was a little worried. I heard I heard a voice that the Chinese think highly of themselves internally, thinking that they are better than the natives in Southeast Asia.”

"In the entire British colony in Africa, Indian businessmen are richer than the locals. It seems that Indians are as good as Chinese?" Alan Wilson said with a sneer, "Don't say it, Indians really think so. In a few years, we can also think so, so the strategy in Africa will be easier."

"The colonies in Southeast Asia generally aim to introduce Chinese to balance the locals. It is the same as the introduction of Indians to balance African blacks in African colonies." John said eccentrically, "It all depends on their own ability? Without our preferential policies, can they stand firm?"

"It's not a big deal!" Alan Wilson stopped the discussion on this kind of issue. "It's not a big deal. The key is who has a gun. Malaya not only has guns, but also has forty Redbeard nuclear warheads." , Australia also has the Vulcan strategic bomber, let’s talk frankly and honestly, I believe no one wants to risk their heads and make trouble.”

Alan Wilson looked relaxed, and didn't take the worries of the two as a big deal. Instead, he said, "If India's attitude dissatisfies us, I can now be a prophet. There may be ethnic cleansing in Mauritius."

Richard and John raised their eyebrows at the same time, and then nodded understandingly. The main ethnic group in Mauritius is Indian.

John still raised his doubts, "The second largest ethnic group is French-speaking, will the French take advantage?"

"That's why I didn't attack Mauritius until today. If France had not made French Africa independent now, I would not use strong means to force India to make a choice." Alan Wilson shook his turban, "Would Nehru make peace with you?" We stand on one front, we can only send back all the Indians in the colonies, he chose himself."

This kind of thing is not difficult for the UK, just to see if there is a reason for doing this. If Indians in Mauritius are repatriated, will the balance on the island be out of balance? Was this a problem for the colonists? He can also summon Chinese to fill the role of Indians. The most indispensable thing in this world is people.

"I've had a good talk with them. In fact, there are only a few who have complaints. Most justices of the peace have a good relationship with us." Richard nodded and said, "Some friends always ask about the situation in the UK."

"Distance produces beauty. After the gap between Malaya and its surroundings is widened, I think what the UK is like." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "Nominally, the per capita income of the UK is six times that of Malaya, plus The exchange rate between the British pound and the Asian pound, the subjects of Malaya will not think that the citizens of the British mainland live thirty times better than them?"

Is Paris Syndrome going to happen in Malaya? Alan Wilson shook his head involuntarily, and statistics cannot determine everything. The Asian pound used in Malaya is undervalued at the exchange rate.

In the 21st century, the per capita monthly income of the United States is 3,000 U.S. dollars, and the vast majority of people in China earn 3,000 RMB. Is it possible that the living standard of Americans is six times that of China? This is of course impossible. This is all based on the premise that the United States is an agricultural empire, and the prices of many basic agricultural products are low.

Switching to Japan and South Korea, this comparison will shrink a little bit, and the statistical data and the real level cannot be the same.

The standard of living of British citizens cannot be thirty times that of Japan, because the exchange rate of the yen is also undervalued, and the British pound has a strong monetary policy, which is stronger than any currency in the world.

"Scattering news among the residents of Malaya through gossip, that is to say, the exchange rate of the Asian pound is undervalued to promote export trade. Compared with the local income of Malaya, there is not such a disparity between the income of the British mainland. Malay Asia's competitor is Japan, not Britain."

"The executive secretary said that we need Malaya's industrial products to stabilize the pound zone." Richard asked curiously, "I don't know how much we have left with the current trade settlement."

Alan Wilson hesitated for a moment and whispered, "38% of the global settlement share. Specifically, in some countries, 95% of Australia's foreign exchange reserves are in British pounds, and 80% in New Zealand."

At present, the work of stabilizing the pound area has been very effective, which is actually inseparable from Britain's efforts to get rid of the quagmire of war after the war.

So far, many independent British colonies still use sterling as foreign exchange reserves. Of course, inertial effects must also be considered. When the UK’s own economy is good, there is no need for other countries to sell sterling for U.S. dollars.

But the real test has just begun. Alan Wilson remembers that since the 1960s, the British pound has fallen from a strong currency with a share of US dollar settlements to one-fifth of the global settlement share in less than ten years.

Subsequently, the position in Europe was replaced by Mark, which can be understood as the later Euro, which was endorsed by German industrial power as a credit.

The most important thing is that the British pound must not depreciate one after another. France can continue to depreciate. Anyway, the countries in French Africa whose currencies are linked to the franc are all within the range of the French.

The scope of the British pound is much wider than that of France. The British cannot force other countries to pay for the depreciation of the British pound again and again. Otherwise, how could Harold Wilson’s Zurich Goblin get word of mouth from British citizens? If there is any exchange rate fluctuation, the pound area will not be stable.

"In this way, the stability of Malaya is extremely important." Richard's face was serious. "It's about the value of the pound."

"Isn't it very important to connect Oceania, where Australia is located, and the East Asian market corresponding to Xiangjiang, and that Malaya is in the middle?" Alan Wilson sighed, "So transfer some industries to ensure the economic development of Malaya. We still take advantage of it.”

"In two months, the car production line will be built." Richard heard the overtones and promised, "I will inform the executive deputy chief of the start of construction by telegram."

"As long as the U.S. and the Soviet Union don't go to war with the U.K., they have nothing to do with the U.K." Alan Wilson lazily smiled, "As long as the U.S. and the Soviet Union don't go to war, we'll spend time with the two countries. Anyway, our industrial layout has been completed Now, it’s not so easy for us if we want to eat.”

War is terrible. From World War I against Germany, the world's largest army power, to World War II, when the Third Reich, whose national power was not as strong as that of the Second Empire, cut its throat, it took only more than twenty years. Too severe, leading to general war weariness in French society.

It is too common for the outcome of a war to change the fate of a country, so it is best not to fight.

For example, in the six-party talks this time, the United Kingdom is prepared to use all means other than war, but it is not prepared to attack Iran.

Mount Patton Building in Basra, on behalf of his wife who did not come, Alan Wilson gave a gift to the Iraqi royal family, thanking the Kingdom of Iraq for providing a venue for the talks this time, and an arms sales contract to sell an aircraft carrier of the Kingdom of Iraq for one pound , but a modification fee will be charged. As for the short coastline of Iraq? This is not a problem, it can all be overcome.

"On behalf of His Majesty the King, I would like to thank Sir Wilson for the gift." Princess Badia was very happy, and put on the ten-carat diamond ring given to her. "Why is Pamela so busy? Why don't you come together?"

"She has some business to discuss!" Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, looking at the diamond ring on Princess Badia's finger.

The business that Pamela Mountbatten is planning recently is to have a good talk with De Beers in South Africa.

Could it be possible to form a cartel alliance with diamonds from the British Gold Coast, which is not yet independent ~lightnovelpub.net~, and De Beers, whose main production place is in South Africa.

The production of diamonds on the British Gold Coast is naturally inferior to that of South Africa, but diamonds are not as rare as they appear on the surface. The production of diamonds on the Gold Coast is enough to make diamonds no longer have such a high value.

The origin of diamonds in the hands of the United Kingdom is not only the Gold Coast, but also the Great Lakes region of Africa. British Botswana also produces diamonds, and De Beers itself is a British brand. Now the imperial upstart, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, also wants a piece of the pie, which is normal.

In the next few days, delegations from various countries arrived in Basra one after another. The Six-Party Talks, which Alan Wilson was preparing to follow the script, finally started. In the official meeting on the first day, the countries began to talk with each other, explaining their own response to the Iranian oil crisis. The views of the United Nations, just like the United Nations, have different interests and become more and more fragmented.

Apart from India, the only country that really considers itself important is Iraq, where Basra is located. Iraqis are very concerned about this international conference, considering it a symbol of Iraq's status.

The internal propaganda of the Kingdom of Iraq is that Iraq joins the talks by taking advantage of the host country's geographical advantage, and does not need to care about whether it is a false name of a participating country.
