British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1421: The standoff is over

"Can you allocate 60 million pounds?" Harold Wilson's reluctance was almost written on his face. It is not that Britain has not printed money after the war, but compared with the United States, it is still very restrained.

Moreover, when printing money, it can be said that the Secretary-General of the Cabinet is there, and when it comes to printing money, Whitehall is often in the position of an opponent. Of course, this opposition mainly opposes printing money locally.

Whitehall has never objected to printing money in the colonies. What is quantitative easing?

In the eyes of Harold Wilson, this should be the first time that Whitehall has offered to print money during his tenure, and then give it to places that have already become independent?

"Prime Minister, the Bretton Woods system has already existed in name only. Although his framework is still there, it cannot be exchanged for gold and is still denominated in gold?" Alan Wilson paused and explained, "In the future, whether it is the British pound or the US dollar, it will be sovereign. Credit currency, not gold. We don’t have to worry about printing too much money, and someone will come to the UK with pounds to exchange for gold.”

For the U.S. dollar, what is smashed is only the shackles, and what is obtained is the whole world, but the pound is also an international currency. Even if the pound does not get the whole world, it is good to get a part of the world.

"The value of the Pakistani rupee, which is currently in circulation in Bangladesh, will fall to the bottom after this war. Countries like India have not realized the opportunities here. But we can realize that the Pakistani rupee It can be one to fifty, or one to five thousand."

Alan Wilson talked eloquently, "Maybe Bangladesh will use a new currency. As long as the British army lands, we will not need us to reorganize the financial order of Bangladesh. We decide the currency value of this new country with a population of 60 million. And Bangladesh The role of Pakistan is an export base, and West Pakistan only imports. This is the reason why Bangladeshis are dissatisfied for a long time. The reason why the currency of Bangladesh is collapsing is because of this India-Pakistan war. Even Bangladeshis themselves will not think about it Doubtful, we stepped in like angels to pull the youngest independent nation out of the quagmire."

As long as the 60 million pounds are exchanged in Bangladesh, they can be exchanged for the value of the British money in an instant. Of course, this must cooperate with the operation of British financial talents.

This kind of thing happened more than once at the end of the Cold War. The Federal Republic of Germany swallowed up the Democratic Germany, saying that it paid out so much tax, but in exchange for the wealth of the entire country of the Democratic Republic of Germany. As for the slump of the entire Russian ruble, and the exchange rate of 5,000 to 1 with the US dollar, the Russians still remember the consequences of integrating into the West.

"Bangladeshis are not at a disadvantage. Ten years ago, we implemented the real estate rejuvenation plan in Africa. We used a decent colonial capital in exchange for the consolidation and circulation of the pound zone. The effect is very good. It will be more effective if we replicate it now. experience, and Malaya is not far from Bangladesh, so this condition is fully in place.”

Maria Falcond did not leave from the beginning to the end, listening to the cabinet secretary's eloquence, if not the entire Whitehall leader was here, explaining a series of operations after the war with sincerity. She couldn't imagine how this chain of operations came about.

The reason for the intervention is that human rights outweigh sovereignty, and in terms of interests, it can bring 60 million people from Bangladesh back into the pound zone, and demonstrate Britain's concern for its former colonies and reshape its influence.

Now India is obviously more inclined to the Soviet Union. The ruble-to-rupee settlement is poaching the corner of the United Kingdom. This move can also be said to be revenge against India.

Now we need an excuse for public opinion to support the government's decision-making. The excuse has already been placed in front of the prime minister. The Dhaka University massacre, the UK can use this to intervene.

"The U.S. Navy and the Soviet Red Navy are still facing off in the Bay of Bengal!" Harold Wilson was a little embarrassed, and the Bay of Bengal is still very crowded.

"The war in Pakistan is over, but the Pakistani government has not officially recognized it, but that's just two days ago."

Alan Wilson said, "The United States must be thinking about leaving. The United States is leaving. From my understanding of the Soviet Union, it will follow the US task force for a period of time. We can use this fleeting time difference, and the Andaman Military installations in the archipelago and in Malaya can do that."

This is by no means just talking nonsense, Lao Maozi's country is like this, when it is benevolent and righteous, it is especially benevolent and righteous, and when it is domineering, it is especially domineering.

Historically, after the confrontation in the Bay of Bengal ended, the US task force withdrew, and the Soviet Red Navy followed it all the way to the Philippines. It was determined that the US task force would not go back again, and the Soviet Red Navy left.

"Then what does the government need to do?" Harold Wilson is also eager to make a move. He really wants to give it a try. Only by frequent contact can he feel the precise judgment of the head of Whitehall, especially the direction of the India-Pakistan war this time. If you can intervene, you should be fine.

"The prime minister needs to express his sympathy for the tragic situation in Bangladesh. Finally, with the support of public opinion, he has to take action. As for the preparation work, I will leave it to me." Allen Wilson promised, patted his chest.

Now that the Prime Minister agreed, Alan Wilson couldn't continue to disturb him, and he didn't speak until he left Maria Falcond, "I usually only heard the Prime Minister talk about the work of the Secretary-General, but now it seems that he is indeed a terrible person. Not just on the Mountbatten family's side. He's pretty formidable in person."

"When it comes to the Mountbatten family, some people say that it was Pamela Mountbatten who found the key to wealth after she married him." Harold Wilson couldn't help laughing, "Of course I don't believe that God-like The guessing of the will, is it like the astrology of some countries says that the combination of two people changes the fortune."

When the prime minister and the political secretary were discussing the fortune-telling, Alan Wilson had returned to Whitehall, explained the prime minister's approval, and arranged for the work of guiding public opinion.

Wick also expressed his desire to improve. Under the persuasion of the other two giants, he decided to go on a business trip to talk to the high commissioners in various places.

All this has little to do with Alan Wilson. He drew four playing cards from his pocket and randomly drew the Queen of Spades, "Go to Hepburn today."

"The most famous university established by Britain in South Asia has been destroyed after this massacre. It is unimaginable that this atrocity has appeared in modern society..." In the TV, the hostess' voice was sad, and her eyes were tearful, broadcasting the University of Dhaka The news of the massacre, the so-called blood and tears accusation is just like this.

"According to the latest poll, 60 percent of citizens expressed sympathy for the tragedy, this time covering 3,000 polls in 260 constituencies."

"It is gratifying that the first batch of supplies donated by citizens has passed through the Suez Canal, hoping to help the disaster-stricken Bangladeshis."

"According to the latest report of our station's reporter in Malaya, all walks of life in Malaya have generously donated money and goods, and representatives of the business community have expressed..."

"Commonwealth Secretary-General Sir John Hunt said some Commonwealth countries had expressed concern about the matter and were willing to help where they could."

After the news broadcast about the status quo in Bangladesh ended, Hepburn fell on the man's shoulder and muttered to herself, "It's really terrible, the war is really terrible."

"Okay, okay!" Reaching out and hugging the ball flower into his arms, Allen Wilson softly comforted and sniffed the woman's hair, his face full of plans, "I've been paying attention to this matter to see if I can do something .I think the vast majority of Brits are like me at the moment."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are still many things that British citizens can do. For example, underwear and socks that they don’t wear can be donated to Bangladeshis, and the second-hand clothing trade does not exist.

Alan Wilson remembers that in his previous life, in the mid-1990s, second-hand clothes were also very common in his hometown. It was rumored that they were clothes taken from dead foreigners and sold in China, so many people dared not buy them. Two thousand years later, such rumors are rare in his hometown at least.

Of course, this does not mean that this kind of trade does not exist. Dong Wang also sanctioned African countries because of their boycott of the import of second-hand clothes.

This kind of trade looks low-end, but in fact it also has a unique role. You must know that the first step in industrial development often starts with the textile industry. The massive import of second-hand clothes is a disadvantage for countries that want to be sweatshops.

Even if the domestic market is small, at the beginning of the development of the textile industry, the support of the local people is always needed, and then the export generates income. The domestic market is flooded with a large amount of second-hand clothes, how can the textile industry be developed?

"I know you are busy for the country." Hepburn rubbed her arms in her arms, expressing her understanding for this man.

"Just like a child." Alan Wilson kissed Hepburn lightly. To be honest, he didn't know how to treat her. She is so elegant, but she is also very nervous and excited.

Hepburn blushed like a little girl, unable to look into the man's eyes. Her shyness is amusing. He tried to imagine her in the wilderness, and almost laughed out loud.

Hepburn looks fragile and exquisite like beautiful porcelain, which can only be seen from a distance and not played with. No, she couldn't have survived in the wilderness, thank **** ~lightnovelpub.net~ this woman will never have to take this test.

The Andaman Islands military base has received an order to closely monitor the US-Soviet fleet. This is a repeated order. During this time, this military base has been doing this.

There is pressure from the United Nations outside, and the US-Soviet confrontation in the Bay of Bengal. After discussing with various departments, Indira Gandhi also felt that enough is enough. This war of less than two months is enough for India to completely establish an advantage over its old enemy and occupy East Pakistan, with 56% of the population, 40% of fiscal revenue, and 60% of foreign exchange, will no longer exist, and will be replaced by an independent Bangladesh.

There is no need to continue the war, because India has received warnings from the United States and its northern neighbors not to destroy the integrity of West Pakistan. It has achieved the desired result. Indira Gandhi decided to accept it as soon as it was good. Twelve On April 27, the Indian government announced a ceasefire on the western front. If the Pakistani government is willing to restore peace, it will leave the state of war.

A few hours later, the Pakistani government stated to the outside world that it accepted India's proposal for a ceasefire. This time the India-Pakistan war ended, and this result made the countries concerned breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, after learning that India and Pakistan had ceased fire, the US Task Force 74 received an order from the Pentagon to withdraw from the Bay of Bengal.
