British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1483: new system

Hepburn opened the door, and brought a pair of slippers with the other hand, and put them on for the man in front of him, "Didn't you say you're busy recently? What meeting materials are you preparing?"

"No matter how busy I am, I will come to see you." Alan Wilson changed his appearance of supreme authority, and acted like a big licking dog, licking directly in front of Qiuhua, "That kind of thing, it's not as important as being with you."

"I know what to say." Hepburn tried her best to control her expression, so as not to give this man any sweetness with a smile, "I really don't know how much ecstasy soup you poured on me at that time, but you managed to keep it for the rest of my life."

"Actually, it's not difficult. If there is a person like me who pays even 1% attention to you, I will be the one who thinks about it."

Alan Wilson laughed straight, "God is so partial to me. If it wasn't for benefiting the society, I would even want to apply to be a nuclear test subject."

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." Hepburn shook her head and blamed her face, then jumped lightly and was firmly held in the arms of the man who entered the door, and the two entered Hepburn's boudoir.

Hepburn could tell that the man was troubled, and since Alan Wilson came in, he was extremely gentle, hoping to resolve his depression, "Is it because the work in Whitehall is difficult."

"The difficulty is not in London, but in Washington. In fact, I have never understood the speechless tolerance of Americans towards Japan. They are not a continental country, so can't they be more realistic like a maritime country?" Ai Ren Wilson began to chatter, very dissatisfied with this country formed by British immigrants.

A trade war can drag on for two years, during which the auto industry was also exempted, and only steel and electrical appliances were curbed. This is all because the United Kingdom tried its best to persuade the United States to start earlier.

Otherwise, the United States still regards Japan as its own father. From the import of Japanese textiles into the US market in the 1950s, it was not until 1972 that Japan was forced to compromise. It has been more than ten years since we saw one textile alone. I really don’t know what the decision-makers in Washington are thinking?

As early as two years ago, when the oil crisis broke out, it was clearly agreed to take the opportunity to cut off Japan's future development. After two years passed, a strong consensus was obtained in the two fields of electrical appliances and steel, and it was ready to start from a position of strength Talk to Japan.

However, compared with the two decades of textile seesaw, it seems that Alan Wilson should also be satisfied with this.

But what he wants to kill most are Japanese chips and cars, which are areas that Britain is focusing on developing. The United States has let Japan go, which makes him think more, the United States still wants to use Japan to contain Britain.

In the shipbuilding industry, the United States has never done anything to Japan, or even mentioned it, because the United States has no shipbuilding industry at all, and the tonnage of the civilian shipbuilding industry is not as large as the tonnage of the warships launched by the United States.

The Japanese shipbuilding industry will only threaten Britain, which is also proud of the shipbuilding industry, so the United States has always acquiesced in Japan's competition with the United Kingdom. Anyway, the United States does not have this industry, so it doesn't care at all.

Especially for automobiles, Alan Wilson especially wants to kill the Japanese automobile industry. The value of automobiles is far from comparable to other industries. From another perspective, this is a mobile real estate industry. Items, these two things are juxtaposed for many people.

If the auto industry can support Germany and Japan, you know how outrageous this industry is. Unfortunately, he has been communicating with Washington, but the United States still removes cars from areas that should be contained. Now he doesn't understand very much. Could it be that the United States is the defeated country in the Pacific War?

Hepburn made a cup of black tea and listened patiently to the man's complaints. Although it was childish sometimes, Hepburn was very satisfied with being an official and still coming to her to sulk.

"Although I don't think it's good to contain other countries, I still hope you can succeed. It's actually good to see more progress." Hepburn whispered softly, comforting the head of Whitehall.

"The truth is this." Alan Wilson sighed, "Many traditional industries are no longer enough to support the development of the country at this time. There are only a few emerging industries and so many competitors. When it comes to emerging industries, The chip I am most optimistic about, Japan is also a strong competitor.”

In the final analysis, the United States still believes that it is sufficient to control Japan, and this cannot be said to be wrong. Later generations of the United States still think that they have successful experience in dealing with Japan, and they can also control the other one.

He just didn't expect that, with his own reminder, Washington still couldn't break through the ideological stamp of the country that he had set a benchmark for the world, and he was unwilling to ruthlessly abolish Japan. It is in some industries that are already not very profitable, so that Japan can retreat in spite of difficulties.

If it had been replaced by the United Kingdom, and had not successfully entered the protective shell of the European Community, it would have been targeted by the United States long ago.

After receiving comfort from Hepburn, Alan Wilson adjusted his mood and went to No. 10 Downing Street to report on the next day. Hepburn was right. Britain was not without gains. The investigation of steel has been launched several years earlier than in history.

The most critical battlefield is the international financial conference after the Bretton Woods system. This time it will be held soon. In the past two years, the United Kingdom has been wooing Germany and France to stand on its side, forming a separate war against the yen. Alliance, this alliance cannot be said to be strong, because it is only for the yen, and they are also competitors with each other.

For this reason, Whitehall has prepared for a long time, and there are too many reports involving the macro and micro. Anyway, as the prime minister, Harold Wilson absolutely cannot understand it.

Harold Wilson took over the report from Whitehall, and then he looked tired, "The decline of a large number of traditional industrial sectors, production stagnation, and mass unemployment are a structural crisis caused by an imbalance in the industrial structure; Inflation and credit inflation are also a structural crisis, which are caused by the imbalance between the money supply and the actual demand for commodity circulation, and the imbalance between the scale of credit and the scale of social reproduction.

"So what is Whitehall's suggestion?" Harold Wilson put down the report and asked. Seeing this kind of report like a bible, it is better to ask directly.

"To be honest, coal and steel can no longer support the current added value. We try our best to improve efficiency, but we still have to face the fact that these two industries will gradually become negative assets and become a burden on the British economy. We should try Reduce the scale. Or make industrial adjustments to replace some industries that use coal." Alan Wilson organized the wording, because the Prime Minister would definitely not want to hear these words.

At this point in time, can Britain engage in the textile industry as it did in the nineteenth century? Obviously not, how much is a shirt? Not French. Coal and steel also fall into this category, and the added value is already a negative asset compared to the cost of expenditure.

It was the oil crisis in the past two years, and the United Kingdom relied on North Sea oil and the influence of the Middle East to allow Harold Wilson to be re-elected.

This is not how fast the UK is running. The development of the UK is not as good as before, but other European countries are in decline. Compared with the two, the performance of the UK is very impressive.

"Alan, this involves the livelihood of many citizens." Harold Wilson wondered, he understood what Alan Wilson meant, but he had just been re-elected. While the new leader of the Conservative Party, Margaret Thatcher, did say she wanted to be more competitive, he was Labour's prime minister and "Whitehall has always been neutral" when it comes to this issue.

"Of course, Prime Minister, Whitehall will strictly observe neutrality." Alan Wilson sighed inwardly, and made a solemn guarantee. It seems that coal and steel can only look forward to the wisdom of future generations.

Since nationalized coal and steel cannot be discussed, there is another problem left. If there is still a 1% possibility of not working hard for it before, now the goal of the United Kingdom must be achieved. It is the Jamaica meeting that will be held soon. After the oil crisis, countries have just recovered and have basically achieved stable growth. This is the most suitable time, especially the United Kingdom has escaped the oil crisis to a certain extent~lightnovelpub.net~This The meeting was just in time.

Harold Wilson knew that the head of civil servants would not say this in vain, so he stopped playing hide and seek, "Just tell me, do you want to participate in this meeting?"

Alan Wilson nodded, and the Prime Minister nodded after a moment of pondering, "But I hope you can promise me one thing when the time comes."

"What's the matter?" Alan Wilson frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not so simple, otherwise what could not be said directly?

"You can't say it now. But you should agree to it first." Harold Wilson pretended to be mysterious, and then nodded while watching the other party, "As the head of civil servants, you should be eligible to participate in this meeting, and Callaghan, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, should also go together."

"We will definitely get the benefits that the UK deserves." Alan Wilson is full of confidence. Whether the future international financial order can have a place for the UK depends on this meeting.

Stagflation is caused by the imbalance between the money supply and the actual demand for commodity circulation, and the imbalance between the scale of credit and the scale of social reproduction. The aggravation of unbalanced development in the world economy has led to the disintegration of the international monetary system.

The establishment of a new international monetary system is imminent, and it is no longer possible to continue to deal with the old system. The Bretton Woods system should also have a formal international conference to draw a successful conclusion.

The meeting place was chosen in Jamaica, which is the country where children never know who their father is after decades. Jamaica is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and London also recognizes this place.

London is still shrouded in cold air. A group of people have already boarded a special plane and headed for the warm beach of Jamaica. The participating politicians almost set off to fight for their country's role in the international currency system in the next few decades.
