Chapter 1374 Shura Field

He is just giving a reminder, but he believes that the Germans themselves will figure out how to make the right choice during the transition from US dollars to US dollars.

As for the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, didn't Alan Wilson already find Iran as a backup for Germany? Let's not talk about whether Iran will have a revolution, even if it is a revolution. In fact, it is not a big problem for Germany. The motherland of the Aryans has a natural affinity for Germany. This affinity exists among the people. Therefore, even if Khomeini comes, the relationship between Iran and Germany will not be bad.

Alan Wilson made an appointment with Prince Munam of Egypt. He expressed sufficient courtesy to Prince Munam, who was equivalent to Prince Gong, and also frankly expressed his hope that an agreement would be reached.

"In addition to international obligations, that is, the importance of the Suez Canal to European countries, there are actually things I hope to reach consensus with Egypt. Regarding Egypt's status as a leader in the Arab world, I believe the prince understands that the United Kingdom has always supported it. We have also made the utmost efforts to contain the Free Officers."

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet, who is full of lies, never mentioned that he had clearly discovered the traces of the Free Officers in Yemen, but pretended not to see it.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Egypt. It is to put a landmine under Saudi Arabia's butt, not to target Egypt.

What he was talking about today was about the exploratory dialogue used by his wife's food company to win over these normal desert countries. Sure enough, Prince Munam expressed great interest.

Egypt's population is growing rapidly. Although it is still self-sufficient in food, signs of the need for imports have emerged. Even the completion of the Aswan Dam will only slow this trend.

"Look, dear prince, we still have a consensus on this point." Alan Wilson smiled gently. Egypt's pain points have appeared, and this is easier to handle. "In the field of import substitution, the United Kingdom has also expressed support. The UK is also optimistic about the success of developing tourism. We have cooperated very happily over the years. As for some old things from the colonial era, they should be forgotten. We just want a promise. Is it so difficult?"

In fact, it is not difficult, but for this kind of thing that is destined to go down in history, Prince Munam naturally hopes to do it perfectly, but since the respected Sir in front of him has already made an offer, it is not impossible to talk about it.

I can also talk about I can also be patriotic. The subtle change of expression was keenly felt by Alan Wilson, "Prince Munam, if you don't mind, let's talk about this matter."

Alan Wilson does not deny that he has been trying his best to help his wife to become a global citizen, and he does intend to let his wife take the lead at critical moments. This is shameful and there is nothing that cannot be said.

The reason why he mentioned tourism and import substitution is entirely because Egypt's foundation is here, and it is impossible to go further. This kind of potential that can be seen at a glance does not pose a threat to the United Kingdom.

In short, both of them were very satisfied with the communication this time. It was not the first time for Alan Wilson to do this kind of thing behind the scenes, and he was already familiar with it.

Now that the talks were settled, Britain and Egypt immediately announced the next day that they would sign a handover treaty on the premise that Egypt promised to ensure the safety of the Suez Canal. The news reached Egypt, and the Egyptian people sang and danced, cheering for the good news. At the place where the treaty was signed, the United Kingdom summoned the ambassadors of the European Community countries living in London to bear witness, excluding the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

It shows that this is a legal treaty witnessed by all countries. Although the last clause includes the clause that if Egypt faces a war that threatens the security of the Suez Canal, Britain has the responsibility to send troops to help Egypt maintain the security of the canal, this is innocuous.

However, the Soviet ambassador could not bear to come uninvited and insisted on attending this grand event. He also talked about integrating into the international community, just like the Soviet Union he had complained about recently and secretly accused Britain of not wanting to leave.

"Why are the Soviets so annoying?" Alan Wilson whispered to his little follower Banwick, and then walked forward with a smile on his face.

The level of enthusiasm is like meeting Shuiling Mao Mei.

The UK is currently under the leadership of a prime minister who is suspected of being a Soviet spy. What can he do as a cabinet secretary? If it can't be difficult, just don't do it. He can only show a flexible moral bottom line to express his welcome.

Alexeyev, who was following Victor, turned his head unconsciously, not appreciating this sanctimonious gesture.

"Secretary-General, your enthusiasm is surprising." Victor shook hands very friendly and started with this sentence.

"Otherwise, who would believe that a Soviet embassy driver is a KGB lieutenant general?" Alan Wilson made a self-deprecating joke, pointing out the untrueness of some rumors. "For example, the young diplomat next to you said Does anyone believe he is the KGB?"

"The secretary-general really expressed the humor that the British are good at." Alexeyev laughed dryly. The other party clearly remembered him, but pretended not to know. Even though he thought he had a calmness far beyond his peers, at this time he also came to his senses. A visceral embarrassment.

"I'm very humorous, many people say so." Alan Wilson laughed. With his memory, how could he not know that the person in front of him was the son of the Tsar, but this doesn't mean anything. It's normal to come here for gold plating. In the years to come, Britain would rely on Russian oligarchs and oil tycoons in the Middle East to support a large part of the City of London.

When Alexeev came to London, he regarded him as a second-generation official who chose a good place to gild and experience the prosperity of the free world, and that was all.

"Congratulations to Britain and Egypt for resolving their respective problems." Victor felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he complimented Britain and Egypt on their peaceful breakup. "If the occasion was not so formal, I would be willing to have a drink with the Secretary-General at this time."

"Why don't you go and watch a game one day? My wife is the major shareholder of Liverpool. Let's go and watch a game then." Alan Wilson extended an invitation. "We can exchange experiences in the development of football between the two countries. In fact, we have many issues. Even though we don’t have the same views, we can still seek common ground while reserving differences.”

Under the eyes of a bunch of ambassadors from the European Community countries, the permanent undersecretary of the British Foreign Office and the Soviet ambassador were mingling, but there was nothing embarrassing about it, since the parties involved were not embarrassed anyway.

At the same time that Alan Wilson appeared at the venue where Britain and Egypt handed over the management of the canal, another meeting where Mars collided with the Earth was also taking place at the same time. This one was embarrassing.

Ms. Anna, the vice president of the German Hellmann Group, and the president of the British Mountbatten Group are discussing how to divide the last supper before the Bretton Woods system collapses.

There are obvious differences between Germany's dollar reserves and Britain's financial means, which one is the main force and which one is just wandering around.

The United Kingdom also has U.S. dollar reserves, although not as much as Germany, which mainly exports manufacturing, because the United Kingdom still has the traditional pound area to rely on, with Goa connecting to India and Hong Kong connecting to a major country. But the financial market in London, England, is also a great weapon.

If there was a size comparison, Anna could of course easily gain the upper hand. She, an ungrounded woman, had plenty of confidence in this, but financial cooperation was far from as simple as a size comparison.

"Anna, we all understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, and cooperation is just to improve the odds of winning." Pamela Mountbatten has known this woman for a long time. She is sympathetic to the German's experience in his youth, but this is not a reason to compromise. .

Anna smiled, the status of the financial market cannot replace Germany's advantage in U.S. dollar reserves, can it? She had long forgotten about showing her belly to Pamela Mountbatten. Wasn't the culprit her husband?

Let's talk about the matter now. Britain cannot think that it has a financial advantage and ignore Germany's advantage in U.S. dollar reserves, thinking that it should have more.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet is not here today. Compared with the Shura Field here, what does chatting and laughing with the Soviet Ambassador mean? It's just child's play. The problem with the Soviets was at best a matter of philosophy. This successful lady had a problem with money, and obviously the money problem was even more difficult to deal with.

This is not a problem between the two companies. There are many interests behind them, and the funds involved are tens of billions. Even if Alan Wilson is here, there is nothing he can do. Who is he to tell you to give in?

After Alan Wilson got off work in the evening, Pamela Mountbatten told her husband about the unsatisfactory negotiations, "The Germans are still very stubborn in this regard, and I have clearly shown my sincerity."

Alan Wilson didn't know whether this sincerity was true, but he still tried his best to promote the success of the cooperation. "The time is just right now. Germany's economic strength is much stronger than France. I believe that once Germany takes action, it will drive more countries than France." It is better to fight alone. The reason why I say now is a good time to cooperate is because the aftermath of the Kent University massacre in the United States last month has not yet ended. Now the Nixon administration is in a state of disarray,"

When the Kent University shooting occurred, support for the war increased by four percentage points. And students often take to the streets to cause trouble, which is disgusted by the vast majority of citizens. Many politicians advocate tough treatment of radical demonstrations in order to win votes.

Local newspapers even published numerous articles criticizing students. Many people sympathized with the soldiers and believed that they themselves were to blame for the deaths and injuries of the students. Not only ordinary people think so, but also some parents of injured students think so.

Because of the Kent University massacre, public opinion opposition within the United States is now extremely serious. If a war can start at this time, the United States can be caught off guard.

"I'll try my best. You also know that this is not my decision alone." Pamela Mountbatten nodded and expressed her approval of her husband's analysis. "Or if you are better at negotiating than me, you can talk to her. ?”

"I'm not professional in finance, forget it." Upon hearing this, Alan Wilson quickly shook his head. He had to stay away from this Shura field. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he would not bear to lose anyone.
