In the short term, the UK should do two things well. The first is to promote the reconstruction of Bangladesh and use the demand brought about by reconstruction to increase currency circulation and production in the pound area. Then waiting for the opportunity to return to the traditional market, Alan Wilson really got in touch with South Korea through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate about earning pounds.

It’s okay to cheat on the island, anyway, blood is thicker than water, so don’t bother people with such hard work, Koreans use it with a little peace of mind.

A relatively large project that South Korea needs at this time. As the United States gradually withdraws its troops from South Vietnam and returns the war to the South Vietnamese government, the weight of the South Korean army is also decreasing.

To say that the South Vietnamese government may be more nostalgic for the reduction of the US military, but there is absolutely no such treatment for the Koreans, I wish these two devils would hurry up.

Under the leadership of Park Chung-hee, South Korea has initially solved the problem of food and clothing, but it is one dimension away from the miracle of the Han River, and the starting capital for heavy industry is also far away. Originally, at this time, South Korea had already tied North Korea, and the only difference was the gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea because of the system. The people at the bottom may not have lived as well as North Korea.

But now tying North Korea is obviously a long way to go. In order to quickly pull Bangladesh out and deprive Alan Wilson, who has worked in the Middle East with millions of Korean laborers, he wondered whether Koreans need the opportunity to work in Bangladesh. The treatment may not be comparable to that in the Middle East, but you can earn foreign exchange anyway.

Alan Wilson will never be in arrears on wages. Even if he makes the printing factory work for two more days, this debt will eventually be repaid to the British by the Bangladeshis, which is not a special disadvantage.

The second thing was the follow-up of the shipbuilding plan, when Harold Wilson said in the House of Commons with a firm stance, "We will not put national security aside in pursuit of so-called false blind economy! Bangladesh! What happened here proves that the Royal Navy has a huge role to play in the future, working with our American allies to maintain the peace of the world's oceans."

When he said this, it showed that this shipbuilding plan had already gained support in the parliament.

Of course, this is not the shipbuilding plan at the beginning. It is impossible not to be cut down at all. The plan for a 10,000-ton cruiser and a 5,000-ton frigate has become a plan for an 8,000-ton destroyer and a 4,000-ton frigate. Not to mention that the Labour government has the upper hand in this matter.

Regardless of how much the Labour government has achieved, it has always been clamoring to control military spending. It seems that controlling military spending has become one of the trademarks of the Labour Party. When the Labour government launched the shipbuilding plan, the Conservatives had nothing to say.

"Eighteen destroyers, twenty-six frigates." Alan Wilson, holding the fruits of his hard work, looked up at Frank, the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, in front of him. He wondered why this God of Wealth had come to the door.

Could it be that the Ministry of Finance has an opinion on spending? After all, it's the Treasury Department's money, and it's normal to have opinions, but Alan Wilson certainly won't listen to such opinions.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is not very satisfied with the content of the financial summit. Washington does intend to increase the proportion of the yen in the world. You have said this possibility, and you are right." Frank frowned and called the Chancellor of the Exchequer Callahan, The dissatisfaction at this summit was well-spoken.

"It turned out to be this matter. I thought the Prime Minister was assassinated." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said in a predictable tone, "We firmly disagree, why should Japan? What does Japan have to support the yen? The poor food self-sufficiency rate, or the native natural resources that can only be used as specimens. If you ask me whether Bangladesh has more natural resources or Japan has more natural resources, I may not answer you. Americans can’t find it. The reason, but also wants us to agree."

It has to be said that during the Cold War, the United States was indeed no worse than the Soviet Union in the field of benefit. It was indeed that it had given up its own market to support Japan for a long time, and even Israel expressed dissatisfaction.

But Japan's foundation is there, and economic development is not a single road to rush forward. There are times when it develops well, and there are times when it is not good. You can't put this hope on the conscience of the United States. When the United States itself is in a good condition, Other countries can drink some soup, and if it has a problem with itself, it would be good to eat meat without killing you.

Otherwise, when the Soviet Union was about to lose its hold, Britain, France, and Italy all took the initiative to express their willingness to benefit. As long as the Cold War persisted, it would be easy to negotiate if economic support was needed.

Frank hesitated, and finally smiled bitterly, "You don't agree with this matter, and you will not agree with another suggestion from the United States. Washington believes that the US dollar and the British pound can be pegged to a fixed exchange rate to demonstrate the special relationship between the United States and the United States. "

Alan Wilson leaned back tactically and said incredulously, "That is to say, the United States is considering annexing the pound area to solve the problem of currency oversupply? I think it's better to talk to the French first."

"Maybe during the talks, I heard that President Charles de Gaulle's health is not very good." Frank shrugged, "De Gaulle hasn't made any public appearances recently."

"Who has run the government for de Gaulle recently?" Alan Wilson asked with a straight face. He was really concerned about this issue, and he couldn't care less about France.

This person was originally Pompidou in history, but the identity of Pompidou's de Gaulle successor was not because he had cancer. As a result, it was leaked by the cabinet secretary who did not want to give his name, which led to a bubble. The French Prime Minister has a sense of existence. Not high, I don't know who it is now.

"Pierre Mesmer, he has been attending events in place of Charles de Gaulle recently." Frank replied directly, and then introduced the man's resume.

Pierre Mesmer became a high-ranking civil servant before the war, working as a doctor of law in the colonial authorities. After the outbreak of World War II, he served as a lieutenant in the 12th Corps of the Senegalese Light Infantry Regiment, and refused to surrender after the defeat of France.

Afterwards, he took a boat to London to join the Free French troops and served as a member of the 13th Brigade of the French Foreign Legion. He participated in various campaigns in Eritrea, Syria and Libya, as well as the campaigns of Bir Hakem and Tunisia, as well as the campaign of El Alamein in Egypt. He was one of the earliest followers of General de Gaulle against German aggression.

After the war, his resume was relatively simple. For a long time, he was very similar to Alan Wilson. He was the governor and high commissioner in the major French colonies for about ten years.

After listening to Frank's words, Alan Wilson suddenly increased a lot of goodwill towards the French Prime Minister out of thin air. He directly picked up the phone and asked MI6 to send the photos over. There are so many similarities in the experience between the two, at least It can be expected that the perspective of looking at the field of overseas interests should be similar.

"Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs, if you have time, it's great, how about a talk?" Alan Wilson took the French Prime Minister's resume and stared at the photo for a long time. In terms of appearance, it matched the appearance of a generation of heroes.

During the critical period of Charles de Gaulle's disappearance, Britain always had to be prepared. After all, France was Britain's most important neighbor. When faced with many problems, they still had to cover each other.

In Alan Wilson's eyes, the French's post-war efforts are of course worthy of respect. If it weren't for the fact that France lost Algeria, which led to a smaller base in Europe, which made it very difficult to face the United States, it might have been possible to come out on its own. the Great Power Route.

Now that Algeria is firmly under control, France's united front value is significantly higher. In this way, on issues that may harm the interests of both Britain and France at the same time, the success rate of the two countries working together to face the problem will be higher.

In front of us, the UK and France are still very similar. Although both countries are important members of the European Community, their trade in Europe is less than 50%. France's control over the franc zone exceeds that of the UK over the pound The franc zone countries alone account for 50% of the trade with France, and the rest is trade with other countries.

The trade in the pound area is significantly more diversified. After all, Australia and New Zealand have long been independent, and Canada does not belong to the pound area at all, but only recognizes the value of the pound as part of its foreign exchange reserves.

"I also noticed the physical condition of President Charles de Gaulle. In fact, many countries are very concerned, but they did not show it." Foreign Secretary Patrick heard the question about Charles de Gaulle and immediately replied, "France is our most important neighbor, Charles de Gaulle. The president is loved too."

"What the minister said really makes sense." Alan Wilson added, "especially since France's power has not been reduced much, and half of Africa is still under French influence. The British Empire respects powerful countries, and sometimes even Respect India."

On the issue of dealing with the yen, the UK and France must take a firm attitude. If necessary, they can release Mark to break the bond between Japan and Germany, but the yen must not be released, which is completely subject to the United States. The controlled country, even if the Prime Minister of Japan is destroyed, is not surprising.

"AFP reported that President Charles de Gaulle passed away early this morning." Then the news began to broadcast de Gaulle's life for memory. He was not only a national hero in the eyes of the French people, but also a worthy father.

At the historical juncture of the country's survival, he stood at the forefront of the struggle and made important contributions to the victory of the war and the liberation of France.

It's hard to imagine that the death of a French president would be so popular in the UK, but that's the truth. As the last wartime leader in Europe and the United States to die, he attracted the attention of the world at this time. Harold Wilson No. It was decided for a while that he would attend de Gaulle's funeral.

"I believe that there are not a few leaders who have made the same decision as the Prime Minister." Alan Wilson looked serious, this time he was definitely not pretending to be serious, but sincere. The foundation of post-war France was much worse than that of Britain, and it was able to achieve today's momentum, which had a huge relationship with Charles de Gaulle.

Since at least 40 years ago, the relationship between Britain and France France has been in a weak position. In fact, France relied on the relationship with Britain, but this relationship was terminated when de Gaulle was in power. The current equality of the relationship between Britain and France is all due to Charles de Gaulle. In fact, if Alan Wilson was not there, the relationship between Britain and France in the Cold War was the initiative of the United Kingdom to ask France not to lock the United Kingdom out of the European Community.
