"Information about Kosygin's reform in Moscow." Richard White, the head of MI6, arrived at the Cabinet Office and took out the information Alan Wilson needed.

"Oh, thank you, let's see what good things our enemy has come up with, maybe we can learn from it." Alan Wilson smiled and expressed his thanks, then looked very interested, pointing to the corner and said , "There's coffee over there, Richard, just do it yourself."

"Thank you!" Richard White is no stranger to the water dispenser in the supreme authority's office. It also has a heating function, and the design is still very novel.

Of course, this water dispenser was designed by himself, and it was often used in school in his previous life. He has applied for a patent in the UK, and now it has become a popular product in the world. If the hair loss rate in the UK has dropped, it should really be thanks to his supreme authority.

"Secretary-General, you have always been very concerned about the developments in the Soviet Union." Richard White took the coffee to make a living by himself, and did not forget to talk to his immediate boss.

"For such a powerful country, if we don't care about it, it is a dereliction of duty to the country." Alan Wilson flipped through the documents. In fact, the reputation of the Soviet Union in this era is still good.

Of course black spots also exist, and they have been talked about over and over again, but they are all harmless. The most basic reason is that the Soviet Union is still alive.

If the Soviet Union were to perish tomorrow in a single click, then we in the free world would be impolite, and an innocuous black spot would surely become an irreversible black spot. Isn’t there a TV series that said, “Why don’t we support Afghanistan, because the Soviet Union is too strong.”

The difference in national strength resulted in treatment. Britain and the United States hated the Soviet Union very much, but as long as the Soviet Union said that it wanted to ease, then Britain and the United States would definitely say that the relaxation was correct and avoid direct confrontation with the Soviet Union.

Of course, the Soviet Union can't just relax. At least it is impossible for the Soviet Union to stop problematic countries in the same camp, such as a certain big country that has not listened to orders.

At present, the relationship between a certain big country and France, a problematic country in the free world camp, is advancing by leaps and bounds, and there seems to be a tendency to converge. Especially recently.

Take the Vietnam War as an example. Although the United Kingdom did not send troops, it still supported the United States at the diplomatic level. Are you looking at French President Charles de Gaulle's attitude towards Vietnam? De Gaulle delivered a speech strongly condemning the US invasion of Vietnam, and then urgently summoned former French Prime Minister Edgar Faure to visit various countries to explain France's position.

France's blatant opposition to America's Vietnam policy has been summed up in Washington's eyes. France is opposing the United States in every field and at every level.

The Soviet Union is undergoing reforms. This is a fact that is clear from public channels. The UK is also very concerned about this matter, learning from each other's strengths to make up for its weaknesses. What's more, it is now a Labor Party government and is still carrying out some nationalization measures, such as the water supply that is now steadily advancing. Nationalize the system.

After Brezhnev came to power, he made a clear request to the Soviet economic circles, hoping that they would start discussions on how to revive the Soviet economy. With the support of Brezhnev, the Soviet economic circles responded enthusiastically, the most prominent of which was Lisichkin's publication of "Life Proposes Amendments". The article believes that it is extremely unreasonable to regard the planned economy as the only means of national economic development, and only by combining planning with the market can sustainable economic development be achieved.

Just combine planning with the market? You see, isn't this similar to Attlee's time when we combined the advantages of the two systems?

With the support of Brezhnev, Kosygin, chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, started the economic reform of the Soviet Union. The economic reform of the Soviet Union presided over by Kosygin has been carried out in full swing in the Soviet Union. It is reported that at that time, a total of 43,000 enterprises across the country adopted the New Economic Policy, accounting for 94% of the total industrial output value of the entire Soviet Union, which is not insignificant.

Enterprises have the autonomy to use funds for large-scale production, and at the same time, they have also established enterprise funds for their own disposal. On the other hand, the economic reform presided over by Kosygin allows enterprise members to obtain material satisfaction through the reform of the salary system of enterprise members. And completely close to the full accounting policy of the market.

Of course, what the Soviet Union did was called Soviet revisionism, but it would be different if it was done in another country. It could be called reform and opening up, and the so-called double standards are everywhere.

"Can we think of a new economic growth point in Eastern Europe?" Alan Wilson had to frown. The British economy has reached a bottleneck again. The worthwhile development of the colony in hand has already been developed, and the thankless future will not change.

Once the economic growth is insufficient, if you look at the former Prime Minister Eden's hard work in diplomacy, voters will know that the economic problem is the root cause. When Harold Wilson came to power, he must focus on the economic card. After all, the status of a world power cannot be taken for granted.

This Kosygin reform is obviously an opportunity. Allen Wilson told Richard White, "There is still a lack of intelligence on the economic exchanges between Italy and the Soviet Union in recent years."

"I'll have someone send it over right away." Richard White nodded. The economic exchanges between Italy and the Soviet Union are an open fact, but what does the supreme authority want this for?

Naturally, it emphasized the role of expanding economic ties with the Soviet Union. If the UK wants to go further, it must try to return to traditional sources of raw materials, such as Eastern Europe.

The current situation is very simple. France and the Soviet bloc are not clear about it. Italy and the Soviet bloc are secretly communicating with each other. The Germans are silent, but Alan Wilson knows that the Germans will soon promote the Eastern policy, because Western Europe has begun to rely on its own development. peaked.

The per capita incomes of European countries and the UK are getting closer and closer, and the UK cannot sit back and watch indifferently.

This can't be solved by nationalization alone. Besides, since the Soviet Union has started to reform, can't Britain use the Soviet Union's reform to achieve a win-win situation?

Italy did not dare to provide technical equipment to the Soviet Union with great fanfare. They controlled the cooperation between the two sides within a controllable range, and the cooperation between the two sides was mainly concentrated in the field of civilian industry. Italy exported refrigerators, automobiles, steel pipes and other products to the Soviet Union, and transferred part of its production technology to the Soviet Union, in exchange for huge amounts of foreign exchange and abundant resources from the Soviet Union.

The most typical example is the Soviet Union's automobile industry. It can be said that most of the Soviet Union's automobile industry is the credit of Italy. The most famous prototype of the Soviet Union's Lada car is the Italian Fiat car. In return, the Soviet Union not only paid a large amount of real money to Italy, purchased a large number of commodities and technologies from Italy, but also exported oil, natural gas and other resources to Italy at preferential prices.

France is not far behind in this regard. Many technical standards in the Soviet Union are French. If these two countries are vying to sell the free world, why should the UK just watch?

"Of course we want to rebuild economic and trade relations." Harold Wilson pondered for a while and said, "Does Kosygin's reform represent the beginning of a certain shift in the Soviet Union?"

"This cannot be judged right away, but France and Italy have continued to export technology to the Soviet Union. In recent years, the speed of national development has been approaching that of the United Kingdom. We would be too stupid if we didn't make any moves." Facing the Prime Minister's question, Alan Wilson replied "It's a pity that we don't have a Xiangjiang River in the Soviet Union, but there are not no detours. For example, through Finland, the Prime Minister also knows that Finland is very close to Leningrad, the economic center of the Soviet Union. Through cooperation with Finland, we can Establish economic and trade relations in the economic center of the Soviet Union."

"The problem now is the United States. In fact, we all know that the United States also contained the United Kingdom after the war. For a while, we can be said to have worked very hard, but after the Cuban missile crisis, the degree of containment seems to be smaller. And since Charles de Gaulle After taking office, the target of the United States’ containment in the free world has obviously turned to France. Currently, France and the United States are arguing over the dollar issue~lightnovelpub.net~, so there may be a way.”,

What method, Harold Wilson is very interested, of course he is not too obvious, this is an internal struggle in the free world after all...

"It is a fact that France and Italy have developed economic and trade relations with the Soviet Union. We use this to blame the two countries and see the reaction of the Americans. If the United States adopts an acquiescing attitude, there is no reason for the United States to ignore France and Italy and go on endlessly with the United Kingdom alone. gone."

Taking advantage of the current disharmony between France and the United States, and adding a fire, if the United States appeases at this time, then the United Kingdom will not be polite, and the Eastern European market is also wanted by the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is not too much. France and Italy can provide civil technology, and it is not impossible for the United Kingdom to provide it.

Harold Wilson was moved. The Conservative Party resigned because of poor economic development. Aiden worked hard for a long time to mediate the India-Pakistan war and to contain Indonesia, but it didn't work. Didn't they lose nearly a hundred seats in this general election?

"We really can't act rashly!" Harold Wilson agreed with the Secretary-General of the Cabinet. "Let Washington give an explanation for France and Italy's betrayal of the free world."

If there is nothing to say about this statement, then the two can do it, so why can’t the UK do it? It just so happens that the UK is still fighting with France because of its currency remarks. It is not impossible to continue to expand the war of words.

France says Britain is America's Trojan horse in Europe, and Britain says France undermines the unity of the free world.

Now is the time to escalate this war of words. While the big brother of the free world is busy with the war, Britain’s criticism of France has suddenly reached a new level. The British newspapers have implied that France is an invisible ally of the Soviet Union, and has given countless technologies to freedom. Enemy of the world.
