Hey, what is this, gold. Yellow, luminous, precious gold.

No, gods, I am not a layman; this thing, a little, can turn black into white, ugly into beautiful, wrong into right, base into honor, Old men become youth, cowards become warriors.

Shakespeare's praise of gold so much speaks volumes about its natural monetary properties.

Thanks to the disappearance of the Pan-Africanist leader of the British Gold Coast over North Africa years ago, Britain can borrow this gold-rich colony to fill the value of the pound.

Over the past ten years, the United Kingdom has accumulated 5,500 tons of gold reserves through the hard work of a cabinet secretary who has just taken office.

"Alan, this is a big deal." Aiden solemnly reminded that the cabinet secretary had just taken office. Although he was loved by everyone in Whitehall, he had not yet had a solid record to prove his ability.

"Respected Prime Minister, I understand very well. I think so! If there are two gold bars in front of you, which one is noble? Which one is despicable? No one has an answer, so this matter does not involve Third-party countries are entirely a matter for the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom."

In terms of the UK's economic aggregate, this figure of sterling on gold reserves is impregnable. But even if there is a huge gold reserve, facing the sale of 220 tons of gold, even Prime Minister Aiden cannot remain indifferent.

Aiden, who heard the news, immediately saw the Soviet Union from a life-and-death enemy that threatened Britain's security to a special relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union that surpassed the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"When I investigate and understand the food situation in the colony. For the purpose of concealing the true purpose. At this time, I have a suggestion." Alan Wilson explained his plan and everything.

"What should I do?" Aiden asked, holding the pen, leaning forward in a probing gesture.

Alan Wilson's meaning is very simple, both want and need, the United Kingdom wants to take all the 220 tons of gold, it's that simple.

"I will call the overseas commissioners to return to the country and think of ways to deal with the food production in the colonies first." Seeing Aiden nodding, Alan Wilson continued, "For the colonies, we only need to take out sterling, or even sterling if we are a little bit stingy. If there are not enough colonies, there are also the Commonwealth countries Canada and Australia. It is certain that the colonies in the southern hemisphere or the Commonwealth countries are the main ones. If there are not enough colonies, they are talking to Canada.”

The food self-sufficiency rate of the UK itself is actually not high, but after the two consecutive world wars, the food self-sufficiency rate of the UK has increased. After all, the two wars in the past 20 years have indeed left a deep impression on British citizens. , the food self-sufficiency rate has changed from less than 50% to more than 70%.

Don't underestimate this progress. Britain's food production is twice that of Japan, but its population is only half that of Japan. Although it is impossible to achieve a 100% self-sufficiency rate, it is not comparable to that of the island country in the Far East.

"Once we buy food on a large scale, other countries will definitely find out, after all, it's not a small number. We can hide our actions in the colonies, but when it comes to the Commonwealth countries, it may be noticed. At this time, we need an acquisition The reason for food." Alan Wilson said, "The Prime Minister can claim to establish a grain reserve system in the United Kingdom. The current local self-sufficiency rate of grain is 75%, and the annual import of feed will cost 1,500 yuan. 10,000 tons. If only the staple food is counted, the shortfall is 10 million tons. We use the complete national grain reserve system to explain the reason for purchasing grain.”

The United Kingdom also has a grain storage system. The grains in the United Kingdom are mainly grains, mainly including wheat, barley, oats, rye and other types. Their harvest and circulation determine the food security of the United Kingdom.

"Sometimes, as the prime minister of the country, I also have to shoulder the responsibility." Aiden said with a smile that there is no problem.

"Sometimes, we also have to do business with bad people, and occasionally abandon good people who don't cooperate." Alan Wilson understood, leaving No. 10 Downing Street, he directly informed the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Chief Private Secretary Wick, through In the name of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, call the Overseas High Commissioner back.

Although the United Kingdom and Japan are both island countries, the area of ​​the United Kingdom is still smaller, but both the industrial base and the agricultural base are not at the same level. The basic conditions of the United Kingdom are much better.

Alan Wilson hopes that Prime Minister Aiden can discuss the reform of the British grain reserves in the House of Commons.

Pricing power is a good thing. It depends on the promotion of high-level commissioners in various places. Jade has also brought a lot of benefits to the UK. The profit has approached 10 million pounds. This is due to the Chinese all over Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea in the Far East. However, Mainly the Chinese from Southeast Asian countries are the main consumers.

"The wheat from North and South Rhodesia and Malaya must be shipped to the mainland." Alan Wilson said in an orderly tone, "The local commissioners will immediately purchase local wheat, and the bulk will fall on your three colonies. Remember, first Do it secretly, and one day is one day if you can hide it.”

This is the first overseas commissioner's meeting after taking office as cabinet secretary. After all, it is not as free as before. Alan Wilson cannot continue to do as the locals do and leave London for a meeting.

Of course, where to hold the meeting, Alan Wilson still decides, because the purpose of this time cannot be declared. He chose his own lair, Hoxon Manor, the prepared conference room, where he could see the Emerald House he built.

Is this also a problem? Alan Wilson doesn't think it's a problem, has to eat flour? Rice is not the same.

"The key is that Malaya's rice has to be exported to Japan and South Korea, and even Changgong's small islands." Richard said that it is not Malaya's own problem, and it may disrupt the grain market. In the future, the land will be purchased through Australia, although Australia is also a Commonwealth country, but after all, it is not as good as the colony to directly generate income.”

"The population of North and South Rhodesia is small, but there are 17 million people in Malaya, and wheat also has a quarter of the rice cultivation area." Richard said with a wry smile, "This may cause prices to rise."

"This will test the wisdom of the High Commissioner." Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and replied calmly, "There will be no starvation in Southeast Asia. Isn't there Myanmar and Thailand around? There is no wheat to eat rice. Well."

Alan Wilson knew that the food self-sufficiency rate of the Fraud Island was less than 50%, and Japan, which lost Hokkaido, was even lower at 30%. South Korea barely exceeds 50%, with a population of more than 20 million.

But so what? Because these places rely on overseas imports, Alan Wilson will not change gold?

"Australia?" Alan Wilson said to himself, do you think Australia will be able to pick up a bargain this time? Australia's wheat will also be exchanged for Soviet gold by the United Kingdom. "There is no way to do this, let's suffer a few small followers in the United States."

Those are all pro-American forces, what does it have to do with the UK? Seriously, just starve those **** to death.

Hearing Richard's mention of Malaya's grain exports, Alan Wilson seemed to recall that the Soviet Union's purchase of grain in the 1970s directly pushed up inflation in the United States.

This can also be regarded as a problem in the supply chain in a sense, and it has caused a lot of trouble for the United States. This time, in response to the Soviet grain purchase figures, inflation is indeed possible.

The distinguished Soviet guests used gold to buy food. Compared with gold, what does the mere price increase count? Even a famine would be worth it.

Even Alan Wilson is looking forward to the outbreak of famine. If Japan and South Korea cause food prices to rise, it may slow down their development pace. As for the fraud island, the collateral effect is inevitable.

"Understood, Secretary-General." The high commissioners from all over the country nodded, and then heard Alan Wilson continue, "The food supply of the kingdoms in the Middle East must be guaranteed, and they are all friendly countries of the United Kingdom. As for the food supply in the Far East, if there is a problem, You're welcome, the price increase is enough to deal with the difficulties of these countries, and maybe they can make a fortune on the price increase."

When things came to an end, the cabinet secretary stepped on the brakes again. From the overall consideration, the pro-British family still had to take care of it. But Japan and South Korea defraud the island that is a matter of the United States, not a matter of the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom is not an agricultural empire like the United States, but the United Kingdom has an advantage, that is, the colonial empire can do it, the cost of the colony is out, and the money is earned locally. Will Japan and South Korea be affected? What does it have to do with him.

"You three colonies, give me all the wheat. Don't think it's difficult, it may not be enough." Alan Wilson began to apportion tasks with a cold face. Only when the reserves of the colonies are not enough, the United Kingdom will be removed from the Commonwealth of Nations. Think of ways to.

The rest is the key battle of the road of grain merchants, can it be on an equal footing with the four traditional grain merchants~lightnovelpub.net~ or even surpass. It depends on whether the Soviet Union can seize the opportunity this time.

"Don't think it's shameful to borrow things from the Soviet Union for profit. Pepsi can claim to be the cola of the people in the Soviet Union. It is said that Coca-Cola is the cola of capitalism. This time, if things are done well, you can be on an equal footing with the four major grain merchants in the United States and France."

At the same time as the Hoxon Manor meeting, Princess Margaret rushed to Perth. Her brother-in-law was busy with business and could not go abroad at this time, so she brought a handwritten letter to the female president.

The Soviet Union secretly purchased grain, which is a secret to others, but certainly not a secret to his wife. The handwritten letter expresses his thoughts about his beloved wife. After the private part is over, there are two main things left. Silver should be sold off in the first half of the year. No more delay.

After reading the handwritten letter, Pamela Mountbatten picked up the phone without thinking. She never doubted any judgment of her man.

"For the grain production and reserve data in Australia this year, contact Canada's Hudison Bay Company and send me the agricultural product data." Pamela Mountbatten said this slightly, "Sell the previously acquired American silver mine, and the finished product will be sold. Silver looks for opportunities to sell, on a semi-annual cycle, don’t disrupt the market.”
