"London is still quite optimistic about the development of Yemen." Alan Wilson smiled, holding a half-truth resource assessment document, and said to the representatives of all parties who came to the round table meeting, "In fact, we have discovered Yemen's resources a long time ago. , but it has not been mined for so many years, and it is ready to hand over the wealth to Yemen after independence."

Alan Wilson lied without blushing, obviously because the mining cost could not be compared with that of the Gold Coast and Australia, and he felt that it was a pity to discard it if it was tasteless. But in his mouth, it became Britain's grace to Yemen, but Yemenis can't refute him, because the oil, gas and gold mines in Yemen are really beautiful.

Britain's occupation of Yemen itself is more about the strategic position. To put it bluntly, it is about the safety of the Suez Canal.

Yemenis, including Fahra, a representative of the Free Officers Organization, looked at the wealth that theoretically belonged to them and beamed with joy. Allen Wilson keeps talking, and has already painted some wonderful prospects for Yemen. The old rules start with history and culture, and places with a bit of history like this. He discovered this when he was in India.

Yemen is one of the origins of the Arab nation, especially in the past two years, because the United Kingdom is about to shrink, so this kind of talk is allowed to spread in Yemen.

It can be said that many people in Yemen currently have a sense of historical pride. They just don’t know if they will be like India in the future. Whenever they talk about history, they always raise their chests proudly.

Obviously, the completeness of this resource assessment has opened up the situation. After several representatives of the Sultanate expressed their gratitude, Fahra also expressed his gratitude to the United Kingdom. In short, the attitude of the Free Officers Organization is relatively soft.

After several failures in North Africa, Nasser has fully experienced the cunning of imperialism, fearing that his sense of existence would be too high, so he chose to manipulate the political situation in Yemen from behind the scenes. As for the Sudans and chiefs in South Yemen, everything will wait until the British leave.

If you just look at the data, Yemen's foundation is far from bad, it is quite good. This is also very normal, this is a worse world. Many advantages that exist on paper may not be as powerful as I think when they are actually used.

In people's eyes, the torrent of steel in the Soviet Union is not so sharp in Russia's hands.

The financial nuclear weapon of the city on the top of the hill, Russia said that is the case. A certain big country boasted of its strong organizational power, and the devil capital also smiled.

After reading these resource assessment documents, the morale of these representatives was boosted for a while, which is very normal.

Just when these Arabs were happy, Alan Wilson reminded lightly, "How does the UK know, who can better represent the rights and interests of the Yemeni people?"

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. The UK has not yet said who will give these things to. It is too early for you to be happy, and the distribution right is still in the hands of the UK.

The world is not equal. Those old battleships in Malaya that can only patrol the Bay of Bengal now, as long as they sail to the port of Yemen, they will destroy the world. Don't really think of the UK as an imperialist power. It may be submissive in front of the United States and the Soviet Union. In front of Yemen, the UK can also strike hard.

"Actually, we in the UK feel that Yemen can implement a federal system." After his immediate boss set the tone, Dixon took over the leadership of the meeting and talked with these national leaders about the political system.

What kind of regime Yemen will be after independence is destined to be a difficult topic. Alan Wilson left the round table directly and left everything else to others.

The peace talks were difficultly carried out amidst the tense confrontation between the two sides. The entire negotiation was intermittent and often reached a deadlock due to minor details and even wording issues. For example, regarding the determination of the political system, Farah, on behalf of the Free Officers Organization, must have reservations, because the Free Officers Organization is definitely more capable of fighting than these small sultanates, but it can be suspended.

Because Nasser is more inclined to solve each other's problems with these small sultanates alone after the British leave.

The representatives of the Sultanate objected and asked to use the word with the meaning of ending, but Fahrah disagreed. After difficult negotiations, they finally decided to use "cease proceeding". Every time a problem gets stuck or some progress is made, both sides stop to consult the institutions they represent. Negotiations between the two sides are still difficult.

If it were British India's independence, Allen Wilson would definitely try his best to provoke the negotiations, and the longer the negotiations, the better.

But since it is Yemen? You can do what you like, there are oil and natural gas, there are small Arab countries that are not as good as the Persian Gulf, and there are gold mines that are not as good as Australia and the Gold Coast.

It is in Britain's best interest to make the Yemen issue their own, and of course he took the time to receive the Saudi ambassador. The ambassador of this pro-American country is rarely so proactive. Obviously, Saudi Arabia is very concerned about the future direction of the place under this ass.

Alan Wilson couldn't help thinking of the past when the Sunni leader assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and was beaten by Hussein in disgrace. It's just that Hussein represents Shiites, and now the situation in North Yemen is more complicated. On the one hand, North Yemen is indeed a Shiites, on the other hand, according to unconfirmed information, the Freedom Officers Organization is supported by the Soviet Union. Obviously the Soviet Union is more difficult to deal with than the Shiites.

"Could it be that the history line has ended?" After receiving the Saudi ambassador with a cloth on his head, Alan Wilson lit a cigar and laughed involuntarily.

Just muttering like this, Dixon came in to report on the progress, saying that the differences between the two sides are still greater than the consensus, "Secretary-General, the negotiations are still quite difficult."

"I understand the difficulty." Alan Wilson danced happily, "It's like an election. There are currently two parties. Voters think they can choose someone who will increase their job opportunities, but in fact they may choose A candidate who cut his health insurance. You want someone tough on illegal immigration, but the candidate came into office to care about pollution. Not to mention something very serious about the regime. That's something to talk about .”

"However, our prime minister is still very happy. The approval rating that fell before seems to have stabilized." Dixon smiled tacitly.

"In a world that is not very peaceful, diplomatic work is naturally a good way to increase approval ratings. But it doesn't work if it is too turbulent, and diplomatic work will become a hot potato." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Fortunately, we are very far away from the Vietnam issue. Otherwise, the situation may be like that of the Americans. Oh, by the way, pay more attention to the French."

Alan Wilson remembers that France was the first country in Western Europe to attack the US dollar, but it is not known exactly when, and now the Vietnam War has already started. Who knows what de Gaulle is doing secretly now?

France is a natural challenger. He saw that the United States was deeply mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, the government deficit and trade deficit were getting bigger and bigger, and the U.S. dollar was being issued indiscriminately. s attack.

The attacks on the US dollar by European countries have continued for many years. Every country's **** is not clean, but France is undoubtedly the first to do it.

Since the franc entered the depreciation track, France has a huge balance of payments surplus, which has accumulated a large amount of US dollar reserves.

President de Gaulle's loyal and hard-charging economic advisers, Jacques Rouve and Maurice Courve Demville, were leaders of the monetary traditionalists who believed that the United States was deliberately destroying the cornerstone of the international monetary system, the bond between the dollar bill and gold. fixed exchange rate.

De Gaulle was acutely aware that by converting France's accumulated dollar reserves into gold, he could both bolster gold's international status and at the same time deal a heavy blow to America's international political and economic leadership.

However, unlike history, although the British pound has declined, it has not plummeted like the original history. The US dollar is the pillar of the Bretton Woods system, but in fact there are two pillars, and there is one pound. Once the US dollar declines , the pound may take its place.

This is different. I don’t know if de Gaulle has considered that the British pound still has more than 30% of the transaction share. If the British pound supports the Bretton Woods system, even if France attacks with all its strength, the Bretton Woods system is still unbreakable.

In January of this year, at the same time as Lyndon Johnson was re-elected, the Bank of France announced that it intended to convert all new inflows of dollar reserves, as well as some of its existing dollar reserves, into gold ~lightnovelpub.net~ in order to reinforce his laissez-faire US fiscal policy In response to excessive and severe criticism, President de Gaulle proposed two global currency reform plans. His ambitious goal is to strengthen the role of gold in the global currency system.

In terms of duties, he, the cabinet secretary, should discuss countermeasures with the Bank of England. From the perspective of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, he should remind the United States and the French of their wolfish ambitions.

But after thinking about it, there is only one person Alan Wilson can trust, and that is the richest woman in Britain who is about to return to London, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten.

This is the richest woman cultivated by myself. There is no bank in the UK that should be trusted more than her. When Pamela Mountbatten walked out of the London theater, the senior licking dog had been waiting for a long time. Welcome to the respected richest woman. Loyal London.

"Honey, aren't you presiding over the round table meeting?" Pamela Mountbatten was full of interest, but the smile on her cheeks clearly showed that she was happy to welcome her husband.

"A colony is independent, how can it be more important for my wife to go home?" Alan Wilson said with a dismissive face, saying that the future of a country of 500,000 square kilometers is not worth a penny, "On the contrary, I have a decision I want to discuss and discuss with you the major events that the world is heading towards."
