"Of course, I don't deny that she is good." Alan Wilson made a pun on his own evaluation of the top Conservative Party, especially when she was still called Margaret.

The trip was not over yet, and he stayed at the outskirts of the city at night. When the sky was bright, he opened the window and leaned out. Twilight has faded. The farm houses and waterwheel fences were blurred and bluish; the apple orchards were nothing but a blackened wilderness; the air smelled of wood-burning smoke in the kitchen.

A bird, alone and not home, twittered dispiritedly, as though startled by the darkness of night. From the stable came the snort and hoof of a horse being fed.

A wasteland looms in the distance, and shy stars that are not yet bright enough are embedded in the deep blue sky. A trilling owl hooted. The cabinet secretary took a deep breath. What a beautiful morning, how good it is to go out for a walk!

"If you change places, you won't be able to sleep, right?" Pamela Mountbatten's voice came from behind in a daze. She knew that her husband had a light sleeping problem in a strange place.

"If I come here again next time, the situation will definitely be much better." Alan Wilson lit a cigarette and leaned against the window. The head of the family did not deny that the reason for getting up early was because of the strange environment.

"Next time? I don't know when it will be." Pamela Mountbatten woke up slowly, and she was extremely immune to this bad check. She was an important member of the royal family and the daughter of the British Admiral. After fulfilling all his plans, he now has a chance to be alone with him. Do you still count on the next time?

The British general election has just ended, and the Harold Wilson government has not replaced the members of the cabinet ministers, so it still uses the original team to deal with some important meetings at the moment. This also includes a financial summit in Stockholm, attended by Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan.

The so-called "laws of economics" are shackles thrown by the strong to the weak. A country's economic policies must be formulated independently and according to its own conditions. The most obvious example is that at the beginning of the Bretton Woods system, only the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and other American countries implemented foreign exchange liberalization. Western Europe, known as the most developed market economy, has always implemented strict foreign exchange controls, and currencies are not freely convertible.

Foreign exchange and capital controls are decisions made according to national conditions, rather than mechanically copying certain "theories" or yielding to external pressure.

Soon, the opportunity to solve the dollar shortage in Western Europe finally came, and the coin flipped to the other side, which was the dollar disaster, and the oversupply of the dollar made the Bretton Woods system in jeopardy. There are a total of ten countries participating in this financial summit. Apart from Japan, the heavyweight members are Britain, France and Germany.

France has come up with its own plan. The Bretton Woods system still needs to be maintained. In order to solve the problem of over-issuance of the US dollar, the exchange rate of 35 US dollars per ounce can be changed to 70 US dollars per ounce, allowing the US dollar to depreciate by 100%. But the Bretton Woods system must continue to be implemented.

Federal German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt, backing the French proposal, believed that a 100 percent devaluation of the dollar was feasible.

"This is not a slap in the face of the dollar, but a slap in the face of the pound." Alan Wilson, who was about to go home, said to his wife, "The control of fiscal expenditure by successive governments after the war forced me to search around the world for commodities that support the pound. What is it for? The UK dare not say that it did not overissue the pound. After all, before the war, the pound was also used as the foreign exchange reserve of many countries, but compared with the current dollar, it is already extremely restrained. Once the dollar depreciates by 100%, will the pound also depreciate? But the Bretton Woods system is based on the US dollar, and the pound is at best a backup tire.”

"Tighten the currency and reduce the fiscal deficit, can you do it?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, what would happen if the French suggested it?

"It can be done, but the United States won't do it. Why do we do this?" Alan Wilson snorted, "The expenditure of half a million US troops is huge, but since the spring offensive, the size of the US military has been reduced again and again, but the expenditure is huge." Not much less. Does this look like you're going to cut back?"

Pamela Mountbatten opened his mouth to check and found out, Alan Wilson said, "Don't be so naive, don't make trouble, if possible, why doesn't the United States avoid participating in the war?"

The U.S. military does not recycle its armaments in wars. Even if it withdraws its troops, it will leave the used armaments in the warring country. Even if there is a risk of being used by the enemy, it must do so. First of all, it is easy to write off the account. Once all the armaments are captured by the enemy, the loss will naturally be a cloud of fog.

When the U.S. military withdrew from Vietnam, it handed over a large amount of used military equipment to the local pro-American regime. Even Thailand got a lot of it. As a result, the military equipment seized by North Vietnam suddenly armed millions of troops. This loss is a fortune. Confused accounts, no one knows how the US military reimburses accounts.

The United States is the great emperor of the world, while the United Kingdom is just a self-defeating supreme. The current settlement share is largely based on its old capital. With the same radical policy, the impact on the dollar is far less than that of the pound. Besides, why is the US dollar overissued, and the pound should also share the risk equally?

"Wait for the last supper, my dear." Alan Wilson squeezed the little hand of the richest woman. This time, the opponent is not Franc, nor is he drinking soup behind De Gaulle. He wants to make a living by himself.

The two were waiting for a guest in Athens. The original commander of the British army stationed in Malaysia, General Scons, is now close to retirement and is employed by the Arab League to train the Arab army. The establishment of fortresses around Israel to replicate the trench warfare model of World War I was carried out by himself for Alan Wilson.

When the two hostile forces are not as good as their opponents, they must avoid entering each other's comfort zone. In the previous Middle East wars in Alan Wilson's mind, after the Arab heavy armored corps was solved by the Israeli heavy armored corps, the Israeli army quickly turned its guns and pounced on the enemy. Next target. Destroy all the attacking Arab first-line troops, and the war will be over.

The Arab world is very large, but among the individual Arab countries, there is no country that can support a strong army in wars. The so-called army that is so powerful is not an army that can only fight in waves.

If a relatively weak side adopts the same combat mode as a strong enemy, major disasters will usually occur. Far away, Great Britain faced the Qing Dynasty, and recently, the French army went straight to Belgium in World War II, and was hit head-on by German armored groups on the way.

Compared with Israel, the overall strength of the Arab countries is on the superior side, but the Arab countries have built their own armies into one-off armies. In the end, there is one that the Arab world can afford to lose in theory, but in fact there is one that cannot afford to lose. The army, if it wants to survive, must adopt the tortoise shell of the Hezbollah model.

Although Ukraine, which also had a tortoise shell, was beaten by the Russian army as soon as it left the city, I believe that Israel and Russia are still incomparable.

After resigning as the commander of the British Army stationed in Malaysia, Scons was hired again to the Arab League to fortify Palestine and the towns bordering the Arab countries and Israel. No matter how elite the Israeli army is, it will eventually fall on the basis of bad battles. It's not about forming a heavy army and attacking Israel.

Of course, Scons gave this strategy a name of containment strategy, and the British intelligence agency carried out targeted deception against Israel, which is the trench warfare of World War I, a combat mode that has long been eliminated.

"The fortification of the border towns has gone smoothly, especially the Palestinian settlements. The local people have a high degree of acceptance." General Scons introduced his work in detail, and he didn't use his money for nothing. Work is still very caring.

"Now that the general election is over, we are about to discuss the ownership of the Suez Canal with Egypt. I believe Cairo is ready. The bottom line for the UK is that after the canal is operated by Egypt, it must ensure the safety of this international golden waterway, and at the same time prohibit any country from Melee, since the British army is not in the Suez Canal, no country can fill the British position."

Alan Wilson talked about the upcoming negotiations between the United Kingdom and Egypt, "The question now is whether Egypt can guarantee the safety of the Suez Canal under any conditions. We will use this as the basis and the Egyptian side Discussion~lightnovelpub.net~Egypt and Israel are neighboring countries, because the Palestine issue is in danger of war, so from the British perspective, we hope that there will be a solid line of defense on the border between Egypt and Israel, which cannot be broken by Israel. The two anti-aircraft towers must be completed."

As for whether it can be done, anyway, Alan Wilson gave Egypt the blueprint of the Berlin air defense tower. The Berlin air defense tower can withstand the British and American strategic bombing, and facing Israel's attack should not be a problem.

"It can be regarded as our last contribution to the safety of the canal before we leave the canal." Pamela Mountbatten said. The two anti-aircraft towers are on the east bank of the Suez Canal to defend against the enemy from cutting off this golden waterway. The completion of the anti-aircraft tower will cooperate with the surrounding fortresses to contain the threat of the Israeli ground forces.

General Scons expressed optimism about this, saying that the land conditions in the area where the air defense towers are to be built are good, and there will be absolutely no shabby projects.

When the couple set off to return to London, they learned of the results of the British general election. Prince Munam of Egypt immediately formed a diplomatic team, and he personally headed to London for negotiations. Yes, the dream that the Egyptians have been waiting for for so many years is now in sight.

In Egypt, which claims to be the leader of the Arab countries, the most valuable canal is occupied by the British army. Although the Egyptian army and the British army have jointly taken over the defense during the Attlee period, the Mizi flag in the canal area does not disappear for a day, and the Egyptians always I feel that the national sovereignty has not been fully regained, but the United Kingdom has exchanged a lot of conditions, such as the right to garrison Zanzibar, technical support for the construction of the Aswan Dam, and preferential treatment of raw materials.

"The Egyptians have stood up!" Allen Wilson, who had returned to London, said to his wife easily when he heard this situation.
