Chapter 1382 A Difficult Decision

"So what are we going to do next?" Pamela Mountbatten raised her head and reached out to touch the stubble on her husband's chin and asked, "Deceive Washington?"

"I don't know your progress, but I feel that according to the normal process of the government, the normal losses are enough for you to finish the matter." Alan Wilson patted his wife's thigh and muttered, "Maybe we should take action, but nothing can not do this."

Pamela Mountbatten understood and said, "Actually, it won't take a few days. Once it gathers into a river, the rush will be very fast. After a few days, let's talk about two weeks, and the Americans will not be able to bear it."

"Then it's up to you." Alan Wilson suddenly asked, "Albert is going to join the army? Is this true?"

"Isn't it because I want to learn from you and serve the country?" Pamela Mountbatten was also helpless. "My father also thinks that it is a good thing to join the army for training and develop good character."

"Obviously it's not like what I learned." Alan Wilson frowned, hesitated and asked, "Can't you, as a mother, nip your dreams in the bud?"

Learn from your father? To be honest, Alan Wilson almost couldn't hold back when he heard this sentence. He thought in his heart whether he was pretending to be too similar and didn't let his own son see through his true face of hypocrisy? Do you really think he can sacrifice anything for the country? It's just talk, do you really take it seriously?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that although some of the children of ladies with the same status as his wife have not been seen much, they all seem to be growing up well, but they have nothing to do with his upbringing.

Forget it, it is a small problem after all, it is the time for the last supper, and all other things must give way to this matter.

Just as the Federal Reserve must frequently make statements to raise everyone's psychological expectations before raising interest rates, the Labor cabinet, especially Finance Minister Callaghan, will assume this responsibility in the next few days.

Warnings, stern warnings, and threats will be the mainstream in the next few days. As for whether action is really taken? Anyway, it looks like you have to take action!

Since it is the Last Supper, cowards are not qualified to serve at the table. If some bankers are scared away by this, it only means that these people should not make profits.

Making tougher statements each time proves nothing. Which elected politician is unfamiliar with this? It's nothing more than routine operation.

After the war, Britain has been trying hard to restore the pound area, but has been severely suppressed by the United States.

The UK continues to freeze foreign sterling reserves, and then uses British exports to gradually repay these foreign debts. This can not only boost British employment and escape the shadow of post-war recession, but also stabilize the value of the pound. The most important thing is to maintain the sterling area. existence, as long as there is this economic base, it is not impossible to rise again in the future.

When the freeze is lifted, the pound area will turn to the US dollar one after another, which will not only help the United States expand exports and strengthen the sphere of influence of the dollar area, but also the pound area will fundamentally fall into a state of collapse and irreversibility.

Today, after finally losing 80% of its colonies, Britain has stabilized its position, absorbed all the previous over-issuance of pounds, and built a pound area that is not as large as before, but more flexible.

And began to try to expand its sphere of influence again, starting naturally from Asia, such as Myanmar, which requires a country to back up the production base of Malaya. Obviously, Australia, as a top resource country, is on top of this. are qualified.

Alan Wilson would certainly not regret selling out the colonies for the sake of sustainability. The only thing he felt was a loss as a fledgling was that when he was at the Potsdam Conference, he should have asked for a price from the Soviet Union when selling Poland. , even if it requires several tons of gold? In the end, nothing was mentioned.

Maybe even if it was mentioned, the Soviet Union would eventually refuse, but not mentioning it would be an unforgivable mistake. Every time he thought about it, Alan Wilson felt resentful, feeling that the Soviet Union had taken advantage of him.

"Washington calls almost every day;

Don't worry, we will soon see powerful measures. "

Of course, Alan Wilson knew exactly how many calls the Prime Minister received. The people next to the Prime Minister also received wages. It was impossible for him to know the content of the calls, but it was still easy to know how many times the calls came.

"I think what we should do now is to carefully understand the current industries of European countries, including the United Kingdom, and find out where they are insufficient compared to the United States."

Alan Wilson called the head of MI6 over and asked him to figure out the current European and American industries. Whether European industries can be independent of the United States? Most opinions in later generations believe that it is possible, but the difference is between the Internet and the United States. US dollars, but this kind of thing is not always reassuring unless you investigate it yourself.

After the head of MI6 left, Alan Wilson was still thinking about what he had missed. In this era, we were still working hard on industry. Financial nuclear bombs just looked beautiful. What is power?

The power lies in the fact that tens of thousands of workers suddenly swarm out like silent swarms of black ants from many small streets and alleys that look like ditches full of muddy water and from some houses that look like big trash cans on the edge of the city. There was a sound of footsteps in the street, the clatter of tin utensils shining in the street lights, the clatter of dry wooden soles of many flat shoes on the ground, the noise of some people who had not yet had enough sleep and the sound of feet on the mud. The purring sound on.

Crowds of people from all directions filled the entire street. Some of them were densely packed on the sidewalk, and some were walking in the middle of the street filled with black sewage sludge. Some people gathered chaotically in front of the factory gate, while others lined up like a long snake. When they walked into the gate, they seemed to be slowly being swallowed by the light from the door.

The intense and enthusiastic working life in thousands of factories began. The low rumble of machines echoed in the smoky air. The windows of those factory buildings and the black bodies of workers or huge machines appeared in the windows. This is the real power, and finance can only be used as an alternative. , real power can only return to the essence.

Only this kind of power can create a torrent of wealth. If the UK only counts its own territory, it will definitely not have such power. I wonder if the countries in the European Community together will have such power.

I don't know why, but the White House staff always feel that today's weather is particularly gloomy, and there is a feeling that a storm is about to come. Maybe they don't know this adjective, but that's probably what it means.

The past two years have been difficult for the United States. Militarily, the Vietnam War has made great progress. It has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on North Vietnam, but it has not been able to translate into victory. Even the State Department and the CIA do not believe that there will be any results if the war continues. Only the Pentagon feels that You can still work harder, and General Westmoreland, the outgoing commander of the US military in Vietnam, keeps giving speeches everywhere.

He angrily denounced the government's timidity as the root cause of the military's inability to win on the battlefield.

Anti-war waves came and went, as well as the frequent occurrence of dollar crises and counter-attacks by European allies. This time, the question of how to end the Vietnam War temporarily replaced the question.

President Nixon's outburst caused his staff to stay away from the president's office involuntarily, whispering what happened to make this president who showed a strong image so gloomy?

After a while, Dr. Kissinger hurried to the White House and entered the President's Office amidst the curious eyes of others.

He was not afraid of what would happen to Nixon. After all, Kissinger was a friend of the Rockefeller family. He had also served as a director of the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, which was established by the five Rockefeller brothers.

"The British deceived us." Nixon couldn't hide the anger in his heart. He didn't expect that what he was waiting for would be this news. It would be fine if the British had said they could do nothing, but since they agreed, they finally chose to stand by and watch. This is complete and utter injustice. cheat.

"This is a difficult moment. The surging U.S. debt is engulfing the United States." Kissinger was actually unwilling to go to the UK. He felt that things would not go well before going.

Kissinger was extremely surprised when Britain finally agreed to work hard and advance and retreat together with the United States. He just watched Nixon relax and didn't say it. Now it was obvious that the British fled and regarded the previous promise as nothing. fart.

Due to the genetic defects of the gold exchange standard, the growth of the US dollar will inevitably exceed that of gold, and maintaining the locked price between the US dollar and gold will become an illusion that cannot be sustained at all from a logical point of view.

The bottleneck is that when the export scale of the U.S. dollar is greater than its own gold reserves, it will automatically trigger a crisis of the world using U.S. dollar banknotes to run on U.S. gold reserves.

Obviously, this dollar tsunami is more violent than the previous ones. When the Vietnam War still has no result, Europe has obviously reached the limit of its patience with the United States' over-issuance of dollars. This time, it is aimed at the goal of bankrupting the Federal Reserve. Come.

This is something that no country can do. Such a large amount of U.S. debt and U.S. dollars go hand in hand. Only the United Kingdom and Germany in Europe have this condition. It is more likely that everyone in Europe has a share, and there may even be a run on it last time. Golden France.

There is not so much gold in the United States, and there is not so much gold in the world. Even if the British role is not the culprit, it certainly plays a negative role.

"President, call the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. We cannot let the gold we have accumulated finally be taken back by the Europeans."

Kissinger said that this may be a difficult choice, but sooner or later, the Bretton Woods system will come to an end and the dollar will actually default.

Arthur Burns is the current chairman of the Federal Reserve. Because of his close relationship with Nixon, he gained the throne of controlling the entire financial empire. Because of this personal relationship, he is also considered a politicized chairman, directly subordinate to Nixon himself.

"Two hundred and seventy-five million ounces." After learning the current gold reserve figure, Nixon fell into deep thinking. Now she was required to make a decision that might change the international financial order.
