v2 Chapter 1382: Tough decisions

"So what are we going to do next?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, raising her head and touching the stubble on her husband's chin, "Cheating Washington?"

"I don't know your progress, but I feel that according to the usual procedures of the government, the normal wear and tear is enough for you to get things done." Alan Wilson patted his wife's thigh and muttered, "Maybe we should take action, but nothing can not do this."

Pamela Mountbatten understood, and said, "Actually, it doesn't take a few days. Once it converges into a river, the speed of the run is still very fast. In a few days, if you say two weeks, the Americans will not be able to bear it."

"That's up to you." Allen Wilson suddenly asked, "Albert is going to join the army? Is this true?"

"Isn't that going to learn from you and serve the country?" Pamela Mountbatten was also helpless, "Father also thinks it is a good thing to enter the army for training, so that you can develop a good character."

"Obviously I don't learn from me." Alan Wilson frowned, hesitated and asked, "Can't you, as a mother, kill your dreams in the bud?"

Learn from your father? To be honest, Alan Wilson almost didn't hold back when he heard this sentence, and checked in his heart whether he was pretending too much, so that his own son didn't see his true face of hypocrisy? Is it true that he can sacrifice everything for the country? Just talking, is it true?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the children of ladies with the same status as their wives, although I haven't seen a few of them, seem to have grown up well, but it has nothing to do with his training.

Forget it, it's a small problem after all, it's the last supper time, everything else must give way to this matter.

Just as the Federal Reserve must frequently speak out to raise everyone's psychological expectations before raising interest rates, the Labor Party cabinet, especially Chancellor Callaghan, will take on this responsibility in the next few days.

Warnings, stern warnings, and threats will be the mainstream in the next few days. As for whether to actually take action? Anyway, the appearance of action is to be done!

Since it was the last supper, cowards were not eligible to sit on the table. If some bankers were deterred by this, it could only mean that these people should not have profited.

It doesn't prove anything to say that the words are getting tougher every time. Which democratically elected politician is unfamiliar with this? It's nothing more than a routine operation to do nothing.

After the war, the United Kingdom has been trying to restore the pound area, but it has been severely suppressed by the United States.

The UK continues to freeze foreign sterling reserves, and then gradually repays these foreign debts with British exports. This will not only stimulate employment in the UK, get rid of the shadow of post-war recession, but also stabilize the value of the pound. The most important thing is to maintain the value of the pound zone. As long as there is this economic base, it is not impossible to rise again in the future.

When the freeze is lifted, the pound zone will turn to the US dollar one after another, which will not only help the United States expand exports and strengthen the sphere of influence of the dollar zone, but the pound zone will fundamentally fall into disintegration and doom.

Today, after finally losing 80% of its colonies, the United Kingdom has stabilized its position, digested all the previously over-issued pounds, and built a pound zone that is not as large as before, but more flexible.

And began to re-test to expand their sphere of influence. First of all, naturally start from Asia, such as in Myanmar, which requires a country to be the backing of the production base in Malaya. Obviously, Australia, which is the top resource country, is on this is qualified.

For the sake of sustainability, of course Alan Wilson will not regret selling the colony. The only thing he feels wrong in retrospect is that he should ask the Soviet Union for a price when he sold Poland at the Potsdam Conference. , even how many tons of gold? It turned out that nothing was really mentioned.

Maybe even if it was mentioned, the Soviet Union would eventually reject it, but not mentioning it would be an unforgivable mistake. Every time Alan Wilson thinks about it, he feels bitter about it, thinking that the Soviet Union has taken advantage of him.

"Washington calls almost every day, don't worry, soon, we will see strong measures right away."

Of course, Alan Wilson knew exactly how many calls the Prime Minister had answered. The people next to the Prime Minister also had to be paid. He couldn't know the content of the calls, but it was easy to know how many times the calls had come.

"I think what we should do now is to carefully find out the current industries of European countries, including the United Kingdom, and where they feel inadequate compared with the United States."

Allen Wilson called the head of MI6 to ask him to figure out the current European and American industries. Whether the European industries can be independent of the United States or not? USD, but this kind of thing is not always reassuring without investigating it yourself.

After the head of MI6 left, Alan Wilson was still thinking about what was missing. In this era, industry is still honestly fighting. The financial nuclear bomb is just beautiful. What is power?

The power lies in the fact that tens of thousands of workers, like swarms of silent black ants, suddenly swarm out from many small streets and alleys that look like ditches full of muddy water and some houses that look like big garbage cans on the edge of the city, making people There was the sound of footsteps in the street, the clatter of tin utensils gleaming in the streetlights, the clattering of the dry wooden soles of many flat shoes, the clatter of people who had not had enough sleep, and the trampling of feet in the mud. The gurgling sound.

Crowds of people from all directions filled the entire street, some of them were densely packed on the sidewalk, and some were walking in the center of the street full of black sewage and sludge. Some people gathered chaotically in front of the factory gate, while others lined up like a long snake. When they entered the gate, they seemed to be slowly swallowed by the light from the gate.

The tense and intense working life of thousands of factories begins. The low rumble of the machines echoed in the smoky air, the windows of those factory buildings and the black bodies of workers or huge machines that appeared in the windows, this is the real power, and finance can only be used as an alternative , the real power can only return to the essence.

This kind of power can create a torrent of wealth. If the UK only counts its homeland, it certainly does not have such power. I don’t know if the European Community countries have such power together.

For some reason, the staff of the White House always feel that today's weather is particularly gloomy, and there is a feeling that the mountain is about to rain and the wind is overwhelming. Maybe they don't know this adjective, but it probably means it.

The past two years have been difficult for the United States. The Vietnam War has made great progress in the military. It has repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on North Vietnam, but it cannot be transformed into victory. Even the State Department and the CIA do not think that there will be any results if the war continues. Only the Pentagon thinks You can still work hard, and there is also the retired US Army Commander in Vietnam, General Westmoreland, who keeps giving speeches everywhere.

The timidity of criticizing the government is the root cause of the army's inability to win on the battlefield.

The wave of anti-war came one after another, and the dollar crisis appeared frequently, and the European allies counterattacked. This time, this time, the question of how to end the Vietnam War was briefly replaced.

President Nixon's rage made his staff involuntarily stay away from the president's office, whispering what happened to make this tough-looking president lose his composure?

After a while, Dr. Kissinger hurried to the White House and entered the Oval Office amidst the curious eyes of others.

He was not afraid of what would happen to Nixon. After all, Kissinger was a friend of the Rockefeller family. He had also served as a director of the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, which was established by the five Rockefeller brothers.

"The British deceived us." Nixon couldn't hide the anger in his heart. He didn't expect the news that he finally got. cheat.

"This is a difficult time. The raging US debt is engulfing the United States." Kissinger is actually not willing to go to the UK. Before he went, he felt that things would not go well.

Kissinger was extremely surprised by the promise that Britain finally agreed to work hard for it and to advance and retreat with the United States. He just saw that Nixon relaxed and did not say anything. Fart~lightnovelpub.net~Due to the genetic defect of the gold exchange standard, the growth of the U.S. dollar must exceed that of gold, and maintaining the locked price between the U.S. dollar and gold has become an illusion that cannot continue to exist logically.

The bottleneck is that when the output of the U.S. dollar is larger than its own gold reserves, it will automatically detonate the crisis that the world will use U.S. dollar banknotes to run on the U.S. gold reserves.

Obviously, the dollar tsunami this time is more violent than previous ones. When the Vietnam War had no results, Europe had obviously reached the limit of its tolerance for the U.S. dollar. here.

This is something that no country can do. Such a large amount of U.S. debt and the U.S. dollar are two-pronged. Only the United Kingdom and Germany have this condition in Europe. It is more likely that everyone in Europe will have a share, and there may even be a run on the last time. Golden France.

The United States does not have so much gold, nor does the world have so much gold. The British role must have played a negative role, if not the main culprit.

"President, call the chairman of the Federal Reserve. We can't watch our hard-earned gold be taken back by the Europeans."

Kissinger said that this may be a difficult choice, but sooner or later, the Bretton Woods system has come to an end, and the dollar has actually defaulted.

Arthur Burns is the current chairman of the Federal Reserve. Because of his close relationship with Nixon, he gained the throne of controlling the entire financial empire. Because of this personal relationship, he is also considered a political chairman who directly obeys Nixon himself.

"275 million ounces." Knowing the current gold reserve figure, Nixon fell into deep thinking, and now she needs to make a decision that may change the international financial order.
