v2 Chapter 1394: really big deal

If it weren't for the unprecedented expansion of public opinion at the time, Nehru would not have made dangerous decisions. The problem was that her father was the number one figure in India at the time. The result is the blame.

The end result was that the Indian army was defeated on the roof of the world, and the belligerent voice turned into an opposition force against Nehru, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

Now, after nearly ten years, the same atmosphere reappeared in India. Indira Gandhi must not repeat the mistakes of Nehru. After Sammanekshaw left, Indira Gandhi called two important ministers Come to the Prime Minister's Office.

The two important ministers of this government have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the army has not shown the bravery of the Indians. In fact, recently, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Defense have been advocating the removal of Sam Manekshaw and replacing him with a more courageous one. Generals to lead military operations against Pakistan.

"During the first two wars with Pakistan, we did not instill fear in this enemy of India."

Indira Gandhi said to two important cabinet ministers, "Once East Pakistan becomes independent, it will be a major event that will change the geopolitical structure, and it may cause dissatisfaction among neighboring countries. Fully prepared financially, diplomatically, militarily. Do you agree with that, both ministers?"

Since the Second India-Pakistan War, foreign relations have been the top priority for India. If Pakistan is a country that is easily defeated, Prime Minister Shastri will not agree to the joint mediation of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union and go to Stockholm and Pakistan People shake hands and make peace.

Indira Gandhi has now gained the same authority as Nehru had in the past, which was naturally obtained through struggles, especially the several confrontations between the former Deputy Prime Minister Desai, and finally, the Congress Party's parliamentary group split. Both sides claim to be orthodox. According to the ruling of the Supreme Court, the Ingandhi faction is called the ruling faction of the Congress Party, and the Desai camp and the Syndicate faction are called the Congress Party organization faction.

The former adheres to the true spirit of Nehru's reforms and moderate socialism, while the latter flaunts democracy and freedom, opposes personal autocracy, represents the interests of large industries and businesses, and seeks to be close to the Liberal Party and the Indian People's League.

The issue of the state is also a matter of great concern to Indira Gandhi. Nehru naturally tried to solve the problem of the state, but he only took back the administrative power of the state. One-third of the promise is guaranteed, and you can also receive security payments from the Indian central government.

Of course, she hopes to completely solve the state problem, but the difficulty is the same as that of her father Nehru. She needs a war to gain unprecedented support from the whole country to have such prestige.

"The Soviet Union can be won. We have to fight for limited neutrality on the British side. As for our northern neighbors, nature will help us block their southward route. The most important thing is the United States. We must guard against potential hostile actions by the United States. The United States The Navy will not be hampered by snow closures."

"In many cases we support the Western countries. That's when the Eastern bloc criticizes us and says we're weak. Likewise, when we support the Soviet Union, or perhaps more so when we support the countries of the Asian-African bloc, The Western world attacks us."

Indira Gandhi had sharp eyes, "Win the Soviet Union, guard against Britain, and prepare for American intervention. If the above three points cannot be achieved, the best result will be the direction of the previous two wars with Pakistan. If the situation becomes more tense, it will not be possible. It is said that the fiasco of 1962 will not be repeated."

"The time for a large-scale attack is not yet ripe, but I personally have no objection to some scattered firefights. We must strive for a good enough diplomatic environment for the country and time for the army."

The support of two important cabinet ministers was very important to Indira Gandhi. They explained the attitude of the military and their own ideas of supporting the military. The two cabinet ministers finally expressed the support of Indira Gandhi successively.

"Indira Gandhi will visit London at an appropriate time?" Holding the diplomatic documents handed over by Wick, Alan Wilson came back to his senses for a while, temporarily stepped out of the state of enjoying the warmth of spring, and read through them on his own Looking at the content inside, he muttered, "It seems that India has not yet settled the Soviet Union. Diplomatic efforts are still not enough, so Indira Gandhi's European trip came about."

"It might be a good thing for us if we can't deal with the Soviet Union." Wick was very happy. After all, India was a former British colony, and it was definitely not good news to take refuge in the Soviet Union.

"This matter is not that simple. The Indians will never forget the defeat in 1962. We and the Americans can't help much." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and recalled the diplomatic field during the war. The whole process, what lost the leadership of the third world, is too general.

When it was learned that the war had just broken out, 53 countries supported India at the diplomatic level and accused India's enemies.

When the news of India's defeat came, only 18 countries expressed sympathy for India, and it took only one month before and after. How could India accept this? Almost one less supporting country is lost every day, and the UK can't stand it.

India needs the Soviet Union more than Britain and the United States. Britain and the United States have no ground power to help India contain ground threats. Therefore, Wick is too optimistic about this matter.

Alan Wilson still handed over this document to the prime minister. This year is the time when the India-Pakistan war broke out, but in fact the biggest event is the return of a certain major country to the United Nations. This is a major event worth noting.

This is not a problem for the United Kingdom, at least during Prime Minister Eden's time, Alan Wilson had heard similar discussions that a certain major country changed its pro-Soviet policy, even if it was neutral. The United Kingdom also immediately broke off diplomatic relations with Swindle Island and supported returning to the United Nations.

But in fact, he knows in his heart that the biggest obstacle is the United States, and the United Kingdom has to adopt a common position with the United States. Fortunately, the non-governmental exchanges between China and the United States have resumed last year, which can be regarded as a sign. It is estimated that Washington is also discussing how to abandon Swindle Island smoothly.

Harold Wilson was really enthusiastic about Indira Gandhi's trip to Europe, but the topic of conversation turned to the issue of returning to the United Nations, "Alan, you seem to be an expert on the East."

"I don't deny it, Honorable Prime Minister." Alan Wilson replied very calmly, "After all, this is something that everyone in Whitehall knows, so I can't refute it."

"Actually, we have never been hostile to them. From your point of view, what are the benefits of the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries?" Harold Wilson asked.

Alan Wilson leaned back tactically and said with a thoughtful look, "First of all, it is beneficial to lower inflation. This is the first question that comes to my mind."

"Is the domestic inflation okay now?" Harold Wilson was a little surprised. Could it be that the statistical data given to him by Whitehall was fake, or was it blocked by public opinion?

"The Prime Minister misunderstood. I didn't say that inflation is high now, but the Federal Reserve has issued hundreds of billions of dollars in the international market."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said, "De Gaulle said that the super-issue of the dollar allowed the United States to take the paper from the printing factory in exchange for goods from European countries. Although he was right, considering the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, and the pound area is also a similar thing. It’s just that the scale is not so large, so we naturally can’t admit it. If the super-issued U.S. dollar is not linked to commodities, the United States will swallow all the inflation. If I were an American, I would definitely not want it. It is best to let the whole world share the inflation pressure."

This is nothing new. When the world currency was the British pound, Britain did this. It’s just that it’s been a long time ago, and many countries have forgotten it.

The United States also did the same thing from the Bretton Woods system, but it was not as big as it did in the 21st century. Of course, the inflation in the United States in the 21st century can be solved.

If you think about it carefully before and after the oil crisis, the price of oil has quadrupled. Wouldn’t that have digested the United States, which had overrun the Vietnam War?

In the 21st century ~lightnovelpub.net~ it was estimated that oil would stabilize at $300 and it would be generally accepted by the whole world, and the United States would be able to overcome the difficulty of inflation. The only problem is that American citizens must suffer for a few years, which cannot be avoided.

"Alan, are you too pessimistic?" Harold Wilson forced a laugh, and then said, "We have North Sea oil, which can withstand this dollar tide, and we also have the pound zone."

"The Prime Minister is so right." Alan Wilson wanted to sing praises to the Prime Minister, although these preparations had nothing to do with Wilson in front of him, they were all prepared by him, Wilson.

There is also oil in the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, oil in Malaya, oil pipelines in South Sudan, and the United Kingdom is well prepared to deal with the oil crisis. Assuming that the United Kingdom does not want to be at least one of the countries that receive the excessive issuance of the US dollar, why not delay the sequelae of the excessive issuance of the US dollar by two years?

Oil is only part of this discussion. Allen Wilson basically means that the currency should be linked to commodities. This is why the UK should give the Bengalis a hand in the process of a possible war between India and Pakistan. How to say There are also 60 million people, who can make do with it for a few years.

"Speaking of this issue, if it is really unfortunate that India and Pakistan use Bangladesh as a battlefield, I think we can work with the Gulf countries to assist or support Bangladesh after the war." Harold Wilson, as the current prime minister, is naturally Immediately draw an analogy, the money cannot be paid by the UK itself.

"I don't think it's a problem. What these emirates lack is influence." Alan Wilson seemed to be enlightened, with the prime minister's insightful approval written all over his face.

Checking in and leaving get off work, Alan Wilson has other things. Her Royal Highness is not feeling well. I hope he will set his bones straight for him. If he doesn’t go, he won’t support the royal family. He loves the royal family so much, so he must go.
