Chapter 1352 Preparation and Adjustment

Brezhnev was a very practical man. Although he was more able to promote the expansion of Soviet influence than Khrushchev, he did not actually believe in any ideals.

Not to mention that there are Trotskyists in France, even if they are true scientific socialists, he feels that the Soviet Union does not have the ability to support it, so it is better to take this opportunity to sort out the affairs of his own camp.

What interests Brezhnev about this period of chaos in France is actually the gold run war between France and the United States. Unfortunately, the financial field is the Soviet Union's shortcomings. Although the intelligence does not reveal the recent financial war between Europe and the United States. The expression was fairly clear, but the Soviet Union really couldn't help.

Fortunately, Brezhnev is not a troubled person. Naturally, he has no choice but to give up. He can take advantage of the time of the European and American gold war to solve the Polish problem.

"Comrade Andropov, pay close attention to the melee in the financial field in several countries. We are not involved, but we should know about it."

"Understood, Comrade Brezhnev." Andropov nodded, turned and left Brezhnev's office, leaving the remaining time for Number One.

"Comrade Grechko, oh, the moon landing plan is of course also very important, but I think the Ministry of Defense should come up with a more realistic combat plan. Yes, Poland, come to the Kremlin to talk Let’s talk.”

Brezhnev picked up the phone and said calmly, "If this problem is solved, the moon landing plan will get the full support of the party and the country. I believe that we will still be the winner in this moon landing race, just like before. It’s the same as every other competition.”

Chaos is also Alan Wilson's assessment of this year. In fact, he also believes that the boundaries between enemies and allies are particularly unclear this year.

This may be the case of the so-called collapse of rituals and music. Although this collapse of rituals and music is not a complete collapse, it only exists after the post-war Bretton Woods system and the Kabul Trapeze. Aspiring middle-aged people everywhere are ready to take action. Russia is the first to start to blame. Still can't be compared.

So after the discussion, although many countries were launching protests and citizens showed their disobedience, Alan Wilson still felt that the situation was not bad.

Of course it’s good, the world hasn’t turned into a Red Sea fight yet. If the Federal Reserve wants to shear its sheep, it won’t even start in Latin America, which is the easiest and most powerful country, let alone Europe, which should be last in the series.

In the memory of the Cabinet Secretary, the attacks on Europe were all after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the order was Latin America, Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Latin America is the first place to get stabbed. Latin America has not been shorn yet, and Europe is still very safe.

The United States does not have many choices in the 21st century. Russia is a poor and violent country. Japan has been pruned once, and Europe has been pruned once. These two places are relatively good, at least not like Southeast Asia and Latin America. It won't grow back after that.

Pamela Mountbatten suddenly became busy and contacted the major British banks to settle the score with the French for last year's unsuccessful attack on the pound.

Alan Wilson of course supported it on behalf of Whitehall, but also provided his own intelligence support, "The franc is not as powerful as the dollar, but offense and defense are different. How much ammunition can French Africa provide to the Bank of France? Those bankers must Think about this problem. Besides, the franc is not as high as the US dollar."

According to the agreement on the independence of French African countries, with this agreement the Central Bank of West African States handed over half of its foreign exchange reserves to the French treasury as collateral. CFA franc critics see the obligation as a shameful dependence on France.

French government officials serve on the management of the Common West African Monetary Institution. The French Finance Minister and the Governor of the Bank of France attend regular meetings twice a year, one of which is held in Paris.

The two supporting points of the euro in later generations are the economic system established by Germany in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the other endorsing the euro is Africa controlled by France.

The CFA franc is fixed from the original pair franc,

When the exchange rate was fixed against the euro, France was still the guarantor of the CFA franc. This did not change just because the franc became the euro.

"How much can African countries come up with to support the franc?" Pamela Mountbatten was noncommittal. When did Africa become a concern on the world economic map?

"I can't stand that half of Africa speaks French. Oh, excluding the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Congo-Brazzaville, they are already owned by the Soviet Union."

Alan Wilson pondered for a while but reminded not to underestimate the enemy, "But I have already discussed it with the Americans in Washington to see if we can mess up France. The only concern is that I am afraid that the Soviets will take advantage of it."

If you really want to mess up a country, it will not necessarily be the free world that takes advantage. Now, it is not a few decades later. If it gets out of hand, the Soviet Union will expose the unfriendly actions of Britain and the United States towards France.

That might be very embarrassing to the free world. The United States also agreed to teach the French a lesson, but it was not prepared to kill France all at once, not to mention that it was impossible to do so.

"Although you have entered Monet's circle, you may not be trusted as a British person. I will find you another foreign aid." After careful consideration, Alan Wilson still wanted to give his wife some confidence and do it boldly, "This I'll be busy for two days and I'll let you know when the results are good."

"Huh?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple, "You don't want to live in Margaret's place, do you?"

"Whatever you are thinking about, I am doing it all for our country." Alan Wilson said righteously. Britain can choose to join forces with the United States, but it can also choose Germany.

The complicated financial war naturally led to such a result. The Germans were not a fuel-efficient lamp. Countries in the Soviet camp could stumble each other. What happened to the free world? Can't you follow suit?

In any case, it must be proved once that the British pound is not easy to mess with. Otherwise, all countries will jump out to retaliate against the British pound. Wouldn’t this become a thief-proof system?

When Pokina, who has short, sleek hair and a down-to-earth manner, arrived in London, she was warmly welcomed by Alan Wilson. He did not want to give Germany many benefits. As long as Pokina considered national interests as the criterion, she should Know which side to be on.

"My dear, I have always respected you two sisters." Alan Wilson started his persuasion work, hoping that the two sisters and the German industrialists behind them would stand on the right side.

"Put your pants up first before you say this." Pokina glanced at the man's trunk and tapped the despicable British gentleman.

"Is my hypocrisy and lack of pretense also the reason for being criticized?" Alan Wilson remained motionless. Don't ask, the question is just that white people have bad skin and need to show it frequently.

If the Germans join, even if the United States does not join, the Anglo-German alliance will have an advantage. I hope Germany will not sit back and watch the tigers fight because the franc, supported by half of Africa, is also a difficult character to deal with. Attack It may be weak, but it's not easy to defend.

As for the operation, it is not difficult. How France dealt with the run on gold by the United States, other countries can do the same, because essentially nothing has changed. France did not let the Bretton Woods system collapse. Since it did not collapse, gold will still be gold.

"What are you going to do?" Her efforts to arouse Ellen Wilson's sense of shame failed, and Bokina could only sit next to the man obediently. Originally, she even asked men of the same status as her husband to improve their safety measures. If not, why bother yourself?

"You will know then. This has something to do with the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but I can't tell you." Alan Wilson held Bokina's body and said shamelessly, "Get the bonds and funds ready. I will take care of other things. What? We also need to let the French spit out some gold."

From now on, Richard White, who has resigned, will be responsible for liaison with the United States. Isn’t he a Trotskyist? Sometimes we have to get along with bad people, and occasionally abandon good people who are unwilling to cooperate. This The sentence fits the current situation very well.

From the worst point of view, once the situation is lost, Britain and the United States must firmly respond to France's call and help France quell the riots caused by Soviet infiltration. The script has been written.

"We should accurately find the Trotskyists, and then use their elements to blame the Soviet Union. If necessary, use force to defend the free world. Of course, we do not hope that this consequence will really happen. But there is nothing wrong with using Trotskyists to mess up France and making France pay the price for its gold rush to hurt the United States."

Richard White elaborated on his views when talking to Dennis, the secretary-general of the CIA's Free European Committee. The Free European Committee was established in 1949. It is the most important peripheral organization of the CIA and is responsible for European affairs. Hands on work.

With the special relationship between Britain and the United States here, Alan Wilson naturally knew what this committee was for. Borrowing the Trotskyists, if the powerful president de Gaulle could not be dealt with, he could divert trouble to the east.

"Students cannot achieve great things." Seeing Dennis's intention, Richard White once again relayed the supreme authority's judgment, "The best choice is to use the student group as a sacrifice, but when it comes to a critical moment, I believe Officials within France will also calm down and make it clear who France should stand with."

"It would be better if we could take the opportunity to cut off Algeria." Dennis had a bigger plan, and he felt that France would be easier to deal with if it was smaller. NATO's original right of collective self-defense included Algeria, which was strongly requested by France when it first joined NATO, but now France has withdrawn from NATO.

"This is not okay. It is just a lesson to France. It will not turn into an enemy. If Algeria is cut off first and the French know about it, it will be a big problem." Alan Wilson, who received the call from Richard White, said into the phone, "No, that is a place tightly controlled by the French army. If it is not good for Algeria, we cannot control it. Talk to the Americans!"
