"John, as the first ambassador to China, worked very hard. After taking office, he has been working non-stop. Now we have learned some things. In terms of scale, since 1949, they have achieved It is undeniable that China has made great progress. Of course, once the market is opened, there will be nothing left, which can be understood as a weaker Soviet Union in all aspects.”

The ability of a certain big country to collect data has already been seen for the first time. Of course, it cannot be compared with the Soviet Union, which is the most capable of collecting data in this era, but in all aspects, it has definitely broken free from the category of a weak country. It can even be said that if it is during a war, it is also a well-known existence.

The weakness is also the same as that of the Soviet Union. No one dares to underestimate the total volume. If competition is truly open, there will be no place to die. The total volume of various fields can be equal to that of the UK, but the population of the UK is only 50 million, and a big country The scale of the industry has to cope with a population of 860 million, and it may be 900 million in the next year or two.

Alan Wilson raised the diplomatic documents in his hand, "I made a prediction. Now they are extremely short of foreign exchange in their hands, just like the lack of dollars in Europe after the war. Do gentlemen know what this means? And do you know? This is for the pound. What does it mean?"

Like the lack of dollars in postwar Europe? This premise itself is a reminder that in the first ten years of the Bretton Woods system, European countries were facing a dollar shortage.

The oversupply of the U.S. dollar came into the 1960s. During the U.S. dollar shortage, citizens of various European countries worked desperately to earn foreign exchange.

Of course, Britain and France are some exceptions. Although the two countries are also collecting dollars, they are mainly busy with their own affairs. Sterling endorsement, scraping land in the colony is also part of the quick realization.

For other countries, the colonies can't produce anything. Besides, the sun never sets in all countries. Britain can scrape the land and make the colonies independent, and other countries can scrape the colonies once and then they will disappear.

Then all countries naturally work hard to get rich for the sake of US dollar foreign exchange. Is this relationship between Europe and the United States fair? That's naturally unfair, but at that time you need to do sweatshops.

With the increase of European dollars, there is no shortage of dollars on the market, and Europe has started to do something about the Bretton Woods system with dollars.

The trade deficit that lasted for more than ten years after the reform and opening up is actually similar to the period when Europe was in a dollar shortage after the war. From a trade point of view, it is a loss. For trade, when there is no shortage of dollars, you can have the leisure to think about whether to do something.

Judging from the time, most of the dividends of unfair trade after the opening of the country for more than ten years should have been eaten by Japan. Why should Japan?

"Secretary-General, now that Nixon is visiting China, the political obstacles have been lifted." Wake has now been appointed as the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is also the chief private secretary of the foreign minister.

Now he is the number two person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he will become the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The joy of being promoted has not completely dissipated. After understanding the meaning of supreme authority, Wick directly puffed up his chest proudly and made a good job. Fans, don't let the diplomatic conference become a stand-up comedy, even the supreme authority can't say everything by itself.

Alan Wilson gave a look of approval, and said, "Yes, the biggest obstacle is gone. So according to the experience in post-war Europe and the evaluation sent by John, I respect them and treat them as war In the post-European period, there will be at least ten years of trade dividends. Calculated on an industrial scale, the value of the pound will be more stable. Everyone knows that the pound, as a recognized strong currency in the world, is not conducive to exports but conducive to imports.”

"Facing the squeeze of the US dollar, we worked hard and with a bit of luck, we finally managed to maintain the dignity of the British Empire. Even now, with the scale of the industry in the UK and Malaya, it is very difficult to support the circulation of the pound zone. "

But if you add a certain big country, this is not a problem. Alan Wilson knows that a certain big country will feel it sooner or later. You can eat enough, so you won't eat today? From now on, it will be a matter of the future, and he wants to live well today.

"This year and even in the next few years, we have the following goals, to maintain the current circulation of the British pound based on Bangladesh's demand, and to crack down on smuggling after Nixon's visit to China. We have allowed Hong Kong smuggling for many years, and now we should collect some taxes. .And then wait for the start of free trade. I hope that both goals can be successful, and at least one must be successful. Anyway, they can’t both fail.”

Alan Wilson put on a posture of crossing his fingers and resting his chin again, "The potential competitor is Japan. Our advantage is that Malaya is not far away in absolute distance. Xiangjiang is more important. Political obstacles are political obstacles. Now that it has been lifted, it is time to comprehensively promote economic and trade relations, let MacLehose fully promote entrepot trade, and everything is centered on this goal."

"There are also many things that can't be said directly, but should be done, that is, the list of the Paris Coordinating Committee should lift some restrictions. Of course, don't make it too obvious."

The current Bretton Woods system exists in name only, and there is only one formal meeting to say goodbye to the system. The UK must find the next anchor for the liquidity of the pound.

Whitehall has already decided that from the perspective of productivity, Europe is not good anyway, and Britain cannot allow any European country to endorse itself. Japan's productivity is sufficient, but it is the private land of the United States. This is actually a choice with no other choice. If you don't look for a certain big country, who do you look for?

After the meeting, Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Finance, and after discussing with Frank, he went to No. 10 Downing Street to find the Prime Minister, explaining the latest research results of Whitehall and the fact that the potential enemy in economics and trade is Japan.

"Looking at it this way, should I visit after Nixon?" Harold Wilson said very solemnly after listening, "You have also explained the meaning of economic and trade relations very clearly."

"Really? Don't be so anxious. We are still not sure whether the US policy is coherent. After all, some sources believe that this time Nixon's running mate is Rockefeller. In this way, I will talk to the royal family. If Prince Charles can do something for the UK Contribute? He should also make some contribution."

Alan Wilson made his own suggestion, and the Prime Minister nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is not known whether Nixon will be affected by major adjustments in international relations, and it is not appropriate for him to be so anxious.

It is not easy for the secretary-general of the cabinet to directly intervene in this matter, but does he have a good wife? Pamela Mountbatten has such a relationship with the royal family to discuss it. If it is rejected, the crown prince will be ashamed than the prime minister in the end. The impact of taking a trip is smaller.

"He didn't have to do anything, he just took a trip, and the cabinet didn't expect that big baboon to talk about anything. Even if Nixon visited China, we have to show that we are a country of the same level as the United States." Alan Wilson returned home, Immediately begin to unswervingly implement myself... It is the instructions of the cabinet, especially the prime minister.

"You are completely using Charles as a tool." Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips, pointing out her husband's subtle shortcomings.

"Without me, the House of Lords is just a show." Alan Wilson puffed up his chest proudly. The House of Lords is pressing harder and harder against the House of Commons. It's a question of economic strength.

Now that the nobles of the House of Lords have reversed the comparison in terms of economic strength, they dare not say that a counterattack is wrong, and it is impossible to retreat after being cut into sausages.

At this point, Alan Wilson dare not say that he is the great benefactor of the British aristocracy, but using other words to describe it is not enough to summarize one ten-thousandth of his contribution to the aristocracy.

The trip of Prince Charles has been several months later~lightnovelpub.net~Due to the limitation of space, I can’t say too clearly. At the same time as the visit of the Crown Prince, Alan Wilson was at the Royal Armor Research Institute in Chobham.

In the long-term research process, the Royal Armor researchers discovered that oxide ceramics have high hardness and wear resistance, high compressive strength and excellent ballistic performance under high stress, and also realized that the bulletproof mechanism of ceramics and metals has a great influence The metal absorbs the kinetic energy of the projectile due to plastic deformation.

The ceramic absorbs the kinetic energy of the projectile due to its rupture. In a series of research and experiments, it was found that many performance indicators of the oxide ceramic have a great impact on the defense effect, such as density and porosity, hardness, Fracture toughness, Young's modulus, sound velocity, mechanical strength, etc.

"It seems that our armor power should also be updated." Alan Wilson commented with a smile. There has always been a quality gap between Western tanks and Soviet tanks.

It would be fine if they had a numerical advantage, and the quantitative advantage also belonged to others, and now they finally broke the situation in stages.

One night, after leaving the Watergate Building, a staff member of the headquarters of the Democratic Party of the United States accidentally looked back at his office. He was surprised to find that there were several beams of light shaking in the office where the lights had been turned off.

The colleagues have already left, so who entered the office again, turned off the lights, but lit the flashlight everywhere? He immediately returned to the Watergate Building and told the security guards about his doubts. The security guards immediately searched the relevant room and caught five suspicious-looking men wearing surgical gloves.

One of them, James McCord, claimed to be a former CIA employee. In fact, he was the chief adviser in charge of security for President Nixon's re-election campaign committee, and he was ordered to install wiretapping equipment at the Democratic Party headquarters in Watergate Building.
