In Basra City, the flags of the six countries have been prepared at the venue, but when he saw the Indian flag flying high, it was still difficult for Alan Wilson to calm down. A strange thing was mixed in, but he believed that history would be corrected.

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

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

Other countries have not arrived yet, John and Richard accompanied Alan Wilson around, and by the way mentioned the difficulties in their current work, "I heard that German capital entered Iran, called Hellmann Oil Company, it is said that Controlled by the two sisters, they are quite powerful in the Federal Republic of Germany."

"I know these two women, the white gloves of the British-occupied area." Alan Wilson didn't hide anything deliberately, and pretended not to know, but seemed guilty of guilt, "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, and even the elites of the colonies will not be so obedient after a long time. As the Chinese businessmen in Malaya began to contact the neighboring Southeast Asian countries, I was a little worried. I listened. To a certain voice, the Chinese have a very high self-esteem and think they are better than the indigenous people of Southeast Asia."

"In the entire British colonies of Africa, Indian businessmen are richer than the locals. It seems that Indians are as good as the Chinese?" Alan Wilson sneered, "Don't say, Indians really think so. I hope India In a few years, you can think that way, so that the strategy for Africa will be easier.”

"The main purpose of Southeast Asian colonies is to introduce Chinese to check and balance the local people. It is the same as the introduction of Indians to balance African blacks in the African colonies." John said yin and yang strangely, "It's all based on their own ability? Without our preferential policy, can they stand still?"

"It's not a big deal!" Alan Wilson stopped the discussion on this issue, "It's not a big deal, it depends on who has the gun, Malaya not only has the gun, but also forty redbeard nuclear warheads. , Australia still has the Vulcan strategic bomber, talk frankly and honestly, I believe no one is willing to risk the risk of losing their heads to make trouble."

Alan Wilson looked relaxed, and did not take the concerns of the two as a big deal. Instead, he said, "If India's attitude makes us dissatisfied, I can now be a prophet, and there may be ethnic cleansing in Mauritius."

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

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

"That's why I waited until today and didn't attack Mauritius. If France hadn't made French Africa independent now. I wouldn't use tough means to force India to make a choice." Alan Wilson shook his head scarf, "Will Nehru make peace? We are on the same front and we can only send back all the Indians in the colonies, he chose it himself."

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

"I had a good talk with them, and in fact, there were very few critics. Most of the 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, and after Malaya has opened up the gap with the surrounding area, I wonder what the British mainland looks like." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "Nominally, the per capita income of the United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom live thirty times better than them?"

Is Paris Syndrome going to play out in Malaya? Alan Wilson shook his head, and statistics aren't everything. The Asian pound used by Malaya is undervalued in exchange rate.

In the 21st century, the average monthly income of the United States is 3,000 US dollars, and the vast majority of people in China are 3,000 yuan. Is it possible that the living standard of the United States 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 many basic needs of agricultural products are cheap.

If it is replaced by Japan and South Korea, this comparison will shrink a bit, and the statistical data and the real level cannot be the same.

The standard of living of British citizens cannot be 30 times that of Japan now, because the exchange rate of the yen is also undervalued, and the British pound is a strong monetary policy, stronger than any currency in the world.

“Spreading news among Malayan residents through the grapevine, so to speak, the exchange rate of the pound in Asia is undervalued and used to promote export trade. Compared with the British mainland, Malaya’s local income is not so disparate. Malaya Asia's competitor is Japan, not Britain."

"The Deputy Secretary said that we need Malaya's industrial products to stabilize the pound area." Richard asked curiously, "I don't know how much we have left for the current trade settlement."

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

At present, the work of stabilizing the sterling area is very effective, which is actually inseparable from the efforts of the United Kingdom to get rid of the quagmire of war after the war.

So far, many independent British colonies still use sterling as their foreign exchange reserves. Of course, inertial effects must also be taken into account. When the British economy itself is good, there is no need for other countries to sell sterling for dollars.

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

Subsequently, its position in Europe was replaced by the 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 pound must not depreciate one after another. France can continue to depreciate. Anyway, the countries in French Africa and the franc-pegged currency are all within the range of the French.

The scope of the pound is much wider than that of France, and the UK cannot force other countries to pay for the devaluation of the pound again and again. Otherwise, how could Harold Wilson's Zurich goblin get word of mouth from British citizens? If the exchange rate fluctuates a little, the sterling area will not be stable.

"It seems that the stability of Malaya is extremely important." Richard's face was solemn, "It is 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 Hong Kong, Malaya is in the middle?" Alan Wilson said, "So transferring some industries to ensure the economic development of Malaya, We are still taking advantage.”

"In another two months, the construction of the car production line will be completed." Richard heard the overtones and promised, "When the time comes, I will send the news of the start of construction to the Deputy Secretary by telegram."

"As long as the United States and the Soviet Union don't go to war with Britain, they can't do anything about Britain." Alan Wilson smiled lazily, "As long as we don't go to war, we will accompany the two countries to grind slowly. Anyway, our industrial layout has been completed. Now, it's not so easy to eat us."

The war is terrifying. France went from fighting against Germany, the world's largest army power, in World War I to being cut throat by the Third Reich, whose national strength was not as strong as the Second Empire. It was too heavy, leading to general war-weariness in French society.

It is all too common to see the outcome of a war change the fate of a nation, so it is better not to fight.

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

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

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

"She has some business to discuss!" Ellen 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.

Is it possible to form a cartel alliance with De Beers, which is mainly produced in South Africa, through diamonds from the British Gold Coast that have not yet been independent? lightnovelpub.net?

The diamond production of the British Gold Coast is naturally not as good as that of South Africa, but diamonds are not as rare as they appear on the surface. The diamond production of the Gold Coast is enough to make diamonds not so valuable.

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, De Beers itself is a British brand, and now Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, the upstart of the empire, also wants a share of the pie, which is normal.

In the following days, delegations from various countries arrived in Basra. Allen Wilson prepared to follow the script for the Six-Party Talks, which finally began. In the first day of the official meeting, all countries began to talk with ducks, explaining their own views on the Iranian oil crisis. Just like the United Nations, their respective interests are increasingly fragmented.

In addition to India, Iraq, where Basra is located, is the only country that really considers itself very important. Iraqis are very interested in this international conference and consider it a symbol of Iraq's status.

The internal declaration of the Kingdom of Iraq is that Iraq participates in the talks by virtue of the host's location, and does not need to care whether it is a false name for the participating country.
