Chapter 1366 10-Word Intersection

"In fact, you should understand by now that the Bretton Woods system cannot be sustained." Alan Wilson thought as he said, "The gold in the world cannot match the current currency. Of course, everyone knows that this system has given the United States a certain level of convenience.”

"Is it just a convenience for the United States? There is nothing to do with the United Kingdom?" Anna thought to herself. The biggest beneficiary of this system is the United States, but if there is a second beneficiary, it is the United Kingdom.

Just like in the NATO system, the United States is the dominant force and the United Kingdom is the auxiliary. This man is too dishonest. He only talks about the United States and not the United Kingdom.

"Even if you are right, although this system is unfair, other countries still have the ability to resist. If it really collapses, they will face a worse situation." Alan Wilson said this and asked, "If it is based on When Keynes proposed the monetary theory to replace the Bretton Woods system, think about what would have happened?"

"Will the United States turn back? It was obvious that the United States was firmly opposed to Keynes' theory at that time." Anna was very surprised. The United States defeated Britain in 1944 and promoted the establishment of the Bretton Woods system. The United States would destroy itself single-handedly. system? This is impossible, right?

"The reason why the Americans defeated Keynes was not because of how advanced their ideas were, but because the United States' national power was superior to that of the United Kingdom. It held most of the world's gold, and Britain's vast colonies were the backing of the resource link. Of course, the Americans I won’t agree. It’s different now!” Alan Wilson shook his head, “The Americans really tore up the agreement, what can you do? Don’t say it’s impossible for Germany to object, and it’s not easy for Britain to object.”

In the original negotiations, the British view was that Keynes proposed the "International Clearing Union Plan". This plan seemed to protect Britain's own economic damage and the depletion of gold, but it also served as a wedding gift for other economically weak countries. There is no direct attack on the United States' dominance in international economic and monetary influence. The previous bilateral settlement has been changed to multilateral settlement that seems to be beneficial to more countries.

The British plan for this international system is not only to weaken the influence of the US dollar, but also to stabilize Britain's position in the international financial economy. Keynes proposed that the impact of World War II has resulted in many countries not having their original actual capabilities. It should be postponed before World War II. Starting from the first three years, the average value of import and export trade is measured and calculated to make the currency allocation share.

In this way, everyone's progress is very stable and it can reflect the true capabilities of each country. This period was also the peak period of the British Empire's colonies, which accounted for 16% of the world's currency. Including the colonies, the proportion of the entire British Commonwealth was as high as 35%. This seems to be very beneficial to the problem of insufficient gold reserves in Britain after World War II.

"The French hope to redefine the Bretton Woods system and change the current US$35 per ounce to US$70 per ounce." Anna thought for a moment, "The French saw that the United States might destroy the gold system. That’s why you came up with this method to keep the system going?”

"The French are very smart, but sometimes national strength will limit their role." Alan Wilson commented with a completely appreciative attitude, which is also a recognition of his opponents from the colonial era to the present.

The only thing that is not admirable is that France is always revolutionary. Although even revolutionary France is not conciliatory in major matters, repeated revolutions are still harmful to national strength.

France gradually fell behind Britain, which was the price of the general revolution. With every revolution, the stable Britain would open some gaps.

Therefore, de Gaulle certainly made a huge contribution to France. At least after his reforms, the situation in France will not fall into chaos from time to time.

It's just a little too late. In fact, judging from the situation after World War II, if France wants to work hard, the situation will be easier than that of the United Kingdom.

"France has a CFA franc zone, and the UK also has a pound zone. Self-protection is still enough. If the Americans are shameless, other national teams will be in a worse situation than you." Anna's face was uncertain. "Actually, France has a good idea. The dollar can depreciate against gold.

"

"If you have the ability to convince the German banking industry that the French are right, you can try. But if you cannot convince the German banking industry, then the last option is to eat the last supper with us." Alan Wilson stated his purpose, "With the massive amount of U.S. dollars in your hands now, if you join forces with the United Kingdom, the United States will definitely be caught off guard. Under the Bretton Woods system, it is one thing for the United States to think of a way out and default on its own. We will take it It's another thing to attack a breach of contract. Do you understand?"

In the former case, the United States can still recover the default, which is equivalent to making a white note in the casino. What will happen in the latter case? The latter is equivalent to everyone getting on the gambling table, and the United States loses and repudiates on the spot after placing a bet. This situation will put a large amount of international hot money in a dilemma. There is also a difference between smashing the pot secretly and smashing the pot on the spot.

Anna fell into thinking, as this man said, France has half of Africa, the UK also has the pound zone to maintain it, but Germany has nothing. Once the Bretton Woods system disintegrates, Germany will face a severe impact. What should we do?

Alan Wilson knew this issue, and he wouldn't say it if he were facing other Germans, but since the woman in front of him had a special status, he would act like a German today and "reconcile with the Eastern European countries."

In fact, this was Germany's approach after the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system. Brandt knelt down in Warsaw, marking the beginning of the Federal Republic of Germany's re-establishment of influence in Eastern Europe. Even without Alan Wilson's advice, Brandt would have knelt down immediately.

At this moment, Anna's bedside phone rang, and the little dragoon turned around and picked up the phone, "Koch, what's the matter? Do you miss your mother?"

Anna's proud glance made the supreme authority's heart beat faster. "Mother, can't I care about you? There will be a gathering of bank representatives in Bonn next month. Do you want to come back?"

"My good son, I'm about to go back." Anna tilted her head and held the phone between her hands, "Just tell me that I will attend this party when the time comes."

Putting down the phone, Anna murmured, "It's not a coincidence that you came here. It seems that the German banking industry is also feeling the risk of system collapse. Whether to support the depreciation of the US dollar in France or to enjoy the last supper, it seems that it will happen soon." There is a result.”

"That's right. I believe that the German banking industry is now evaluating which method is better to support. But to be honest, France will never return to its short-lived financial center after the May storm." Alan Wilson said unhappily He said unhurriedly, "If we join forces with the British, we have a better chance of winning than if we join forces with the French."

Ana nodded, then walked to the cabinet and took out a set of pajamas. The corners of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"Take a rocket ride." Anna kept her pajamas on the bed and whispered dissatisfiedly, "What else are you doing here? Discussing the friendship between Britain and Germany with me? Take off your clothes and put some water in the bath first."

"I am doing this all for the prosperity of Britain and Germany." Alan Wilson could only take off his clothes and put a layer of protection on his behavior for the country and the people.

France, fighting alone, will not be an opponent of the United States. Although France's crazy run is dangerous, it is not enough to defeat the United States. The United States has successfully overcome the difficulties of the run.

But France's run on gold in the past few years was by no means useless. First of all, it made people aware of the weakness of the US dollar.

But things are different now. The pound is a more powerful currency. Although the days when the pound was rampant around the world have passed, it still accounts for 30% of the settlement share so far.

As for Germany, Hesse was a sad nightmare, and the losses in East Prussia made the Junkers beat their chests. However, it doesn't matter. The Juncker consortium, which has lost more than 90% of its members, has finally become an absolute oligarchy like its fateful opponent.

Today's German bankers are no longer a group with a rural Juncker theme. The reduction of members has actually increased the voice of some people in some aspects, and they have greater combat effectiveness than the hundreds of aristocratic families back then.

The financial melee in recent years has allowed German banks to accumulate a large amount of US dollars. If they join forces with the United Kingdom to attack the United States, it will definitely be a Verdun in the financial world.

For Germany, the war has been over for twenty-five years, and Germany has once again reached a crossroads of destiny. The same goes for Britain. Pamela Mountbatten attaches great importance to the participation of people from a certain major country in this air show, treating the United Kingdom as It is a stepping stone to return to a certain big country. It is rare to see a richest woman receive such a personal reception all the way, just to facilitate this order.

"Three batches in five years, a total of twenty-four aircraft. To be honest, it is a little less than I expected." Pamela Mountbatten was a little disappointed. Although this was a good thing, it seemed that this result made her so interested. , some are not worth it.

"This is not bad, 3.5 million pounds per unit, 89 million pounds. Although it is divided into five years, it can also reassure many people. I think this is a victory, an unprecedented market re-alignment Britain has opened its door. This is of great significance." Alan Wilson comforted.

Is this order small? In fact, it is not too small. Moreover, it is unrealistic for a certain big country in 1970 to directly place an order for one hundred aircraft. If someone says this to him, he will immediately have this person arrested. He is a fraudster.

"Yes, it's just like the Nigerian scam." Pamela Mountbatten quickly adjusted her mentality and gave an example to reflect on her greed.

But Alan Wilson doesn't like this example very much, because one of the teams behind the Nigerian scam is actually Grace, and the military adviser behind the scenes is the supreme authority in front of the female president.
