After the discussion in the Kremlin, it was decided to explain it in the name of replenishing grain reserves. This time, the Soviet Union also has a grain reserve system, which is usually one-tenth of the annual output of retained grain, which is about 25 million. Tons, even in a good harvest year, they will purchase food from outside.

In fact, the international market knows the general figure of the grain purchased by the Soviet Union, so this time Alekseev went to London, even if it was known by others, it would not cause surprise.

At this time, the supreme authority is talking to David, who is far away in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Fortunately, he has a good son. Unfortunately, he not only has a good son, but he is still fine now. , if they are all developed in the UK, then Alan Wilson will have a headache.

David carefully asked where his father made the call, and was relieved when he heard that he was not in Whitehall, "Father, how is mother now?"

"Vivienne is cooking, and she seems to be going to hang out with your sister for a while." Alan Wilson glanced at the British treasure in the kitchen, "You are not in London, she always has something to do. You can't make a show All the time is taken up."

David nodded into the microphone. It turned out that he was shopping with his half-sister, which was fine. The old father seems to care about the father of sister cheap, what is his ex-husband brother?

"Everyone's time is precious. How's the situation in Dhaka?" Alan Wilson was lying flat. The posture is not tiring, but the supreme authority hates waiting. No one treats him like this in Whitehall. It's his own son, how can other people get this kind of treatment.

"Then I want to say too much." David immediately gushed when he heard that his old father was not in Whitehall. The figures claimed by the high commissioners from all over the country were completely inconsistent with the figures reaching Chittagong.

"The difference between 200 million and 50 million is not far away." Alan Wilson was in awe, and took out the figures reported by the high commissioners from various places from the briefcase he brought, of course it was the dehydrated version, "Isn't it still the one you brought?" The past sixty million pounds?"

"The difference between 200 million pounds and 50 million pounds is indeed not far away, but the receipt I received was 350 million pounds, and it was indeed 50 million pounds." David sighed. Do barrels, broken radios, and rusty bicycles?"

"Why is it not counted? It's not that it can't be used! It must be calculated according to the new one." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "I have a project here, and when it is completed, the reconstruction materials will continue to flow. The key is, Rahman's Bangladesh Awami League must be fully recognized, although we did not ship all the commitments to Bangladesh, they still have to pay back in full. Use your brains on consumables, food that turns into **** when you eat it, who Can it be found out? Even the Soviet Union, which planned everything, couldn’t do it.”

"As far as the mess in Bangladesh is concerned, it would be nice to have someone to help, and you picked it? You tell Rahman that this is using British money to run Bangladesh's affairs. Can he find a country that is willing to help when he travels all over the world?"

Of course, the Soviet Union, one of the two famous big bullies in the Cold War, might get hot-headed, and go up excitedly as soon as they put on the two top hats.

There is also the role of the Soviet Union now, but all the glory will go to my Great Britain. The Soviet Union is not without gains. Can raw materials be compared with gold?

In terms of the basic industrial scale of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union’s steel output surpassed that of the United States two years ago. In 1965, the Soviet Union’s cement output also surpassed that of the United States to become the world’s number one. This kind of thing is not lacking in the Soviet Union in this era. If there is a choice, the Soviet Union is of course willing to use steel and cement instead of gold to buy food.

"You keep a copy of the materials that arrive in Bangladesh from various places, and you will have to reconcile with the high commissioners at that time." Alan Wilson ordered softly, these are all very important things.

In Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Andropov, who had just come out of the Kremlin, returned to the KGB headquarters at No. 11 in Lubyanka, called Alekseev, and then bluntly ordered, "Buy food Diversified payment is very recognized. In fact, there is another thing, but it is a secret for your level. If the UK is willing, we can use diamonds to replace part of the payment. From a personal point of view, of course I hope Negotiate."

"Is there a huge diamond mine in the country?" Alexeyev was taken aback, why had he never heard of it? There are still giant diamond mines in your own country?

"Of course there is, and even if it is the world's number one in terms of output, it must be carefully selected in terms of quality. Otherwise, why would every household in our country have one glass knife." Andropov said proudly, "It's just that The diamond industry is not enough for us to care about."

Diamonds are very precious things for many countries, and they are also a big source of income for South Africa, but South Africa's income is too insignificant compared to the Soviet Union's expenses.

The largest diamond mine in the world is not in South Africa, but in the Soviet Union. The Mirny Diamond Mine was discovered in 1955. When it was discovered, it was strictly kept secret at the beginning of its discovery, and it was in the process of secret mining.

In addition to this diamond mine, just last year the Soviet Union discovered a crater. The impact of the meteorite resulted in the appearance of a large amount of diamonds. This crater is located in Popigai, Eastern Siberia.

In addition to the above two natural diamond producing areas, the Soviet Union is also at the forefront of synthetic diamonds, and the Lebedev Institute of Physics in Moscow is the base of this synthetic diamond.

Alekseev set off again with full confidence, and he also brought several accountants from the Planning Economic Committee to calculate costs during negotiations at any time.

It’s a good idea, and it’s really possible for someone else to be fooled, but it’s just that you can’t do this to the supreme authority. Listening to Hao Da’er’s utmost sincerity, matching the pained expression on his face, Alan Wilson said I am Treating you like your own son, you actually looked at me like this, "Diamonds are worthless unless they are big diamonds of good quality, and? Big diamonds are not affordable for ordinary people, and they are not easy to sell."

If it were anyone in the world, it might be difficult to refuse a proposal that can be traded with diamonds, but that doesn’t include Alan Wilson, a man in the middle of the road. He happens to know that the Soviet Union has the technology of Soviet diamonds. You secretly Production I also know.

The Soviet diamond, also known as cubic zirconia, then replaced all the raw materials for grinding fake diamonds, because it has properties very similar to real diamonds. There are still many differences between cubic zirconia and diamonds. The first is hardness. Nothing can compare with diamonds, and cubic zirconia is no exception.

In addition, the specific gravity of cubic zirconia is nearly twice that of diamonds, which is different from that of real diamonds and is easy to find.

Soviet diamonds are just a substitute for diamonds in this era. Coincidentally, if the Soviet Union is the big brother of a certain big country, Henan is the artificial diamond center of the world in the 21st century. Do countries with similar systems conduct similar research?

How could Alan Wilson, who did not believe in the value of diamonds at all, agree to this kind of substitution, not to mention Soviet diamonds, even real diamonds, and the Soviet Union did not lack real diamonds.

Alekseev was taken aback, this was absolutely different from what he had imagined, and according to his thinking, the British should happily accept it.

Other Britons would happily accept it, but his biological father would not accept it, no matter how much Alexeyev persuaded him, he would not nod.

Really annoyed, Alan Wilson thought it was his own son, "For diamonds over ten carats, I will let De Beers do the appraisal. I can only tell if the weight is right, but I can't hide it from them." .De Beers knows, Pamela has a share in that company, and the appraiser can come any time."

Alexeyev also served the country, and Alan Wilson couldn't say anything, so he directly asked the Soviet Union not to take out the Soviet drill to take its own humiliation. It would definitely be a big problem if the Soviet Union could be like its little brother, a big country, that could make man-made diamonds look like natural diamonds.

But a certain big country did this in the 21st century~lightnovelpub.net~It is unlikely that the Soviet Union could do it in this era.

This is all because of Pamela Mountbatten's shareholding in De Beers. He only said that he can talk about the weight of more than ten carats. Otherwise, according to his own thinking, diamonds that are the same thing as carbon, still want to fool him?

Agreeing is also because Pamela Mountbatten really has a cow to prevent the Soviet Union from exporting its local diamond mines to mess up the market, so it wants to incorporate the Soviet Union.

"Stinky boy, you even want to take advantage of me." Leaving the meeting place, Alan Wilson began to chatter, and told Pamela Mountbatten about it when he got home.

"There are still diamonds in the hands of the Soviets? Could it be left by the Tsar's family?" Pamela Mountbatten looked surprised. She had never heard of diamond mines in the Soviet Union.

"What about such a big country, the world's largest territorial country." Alan Wilson sighed, "I said that we can talk about the weight of more than ten carats."

"It can't be a fake. There is indeed a synthetic diamond that looks like a diamond in the world. I don't know where it came from." Of course, Pamela Mountbatten is not like her husband, who doesn't care about compressed carbon at all. Don't care, she has a stake in De Beers, so she pays attention to this aspect.

"A group of appraisers will be transferred, and we can't hide it." Alan Wilson thought to himself, isn't this the Soviet drill, but for the sake of family harmony, what he needs now is to shut up, "It's just a difference in the means of payment, the first batch Food must be made of gold, and orders can be placed from Rhodesia and Asia now. Regardless, the transaction can already be prepared.”

"It's not bad. If there is a diamond of more than 100 carats, I will give it to Her Majesty the Queen. Elizabeth will be very happy." Pamela Mountbatten began to think differently, and began to find a home for the big diamond, and she was enjoying herself. His face was full of pride.
