Chapter 1390 UAE Plan

"This won't be a problem, sir. It seems that Sir's son is not yet old enough to start a family."

The wife expressed her objection. She had also met the official and businessman couple, and she always felt that Sir was easier to talk to. The female CEO obviously had a different feeling. Although she was very approachable on the surface, she always felt a bit distant.

"My dear, your judgment is correct. But their family has the final say on the Jazz. Don't ask me why, I don't know either."

Although Grace's answer was firm, he himself didn't think it made sense. Why should Alan Wilson have the final say? Rather than Lady Pamela Mountbatten, the spiritual leader of the British aristocracy?

This was something Grace didn't know. As the head of a family, how could he not have any capital? Of course he had capital, but he had put it all in Newfoundland and Malaya without showing it.

"We sent a message to express our condolences to the leader of the Pakistan People's Party, Ali Bhutto, and regretted the twists and turns in the election." At No. 10 Downing Street, Alan Wilson was reporting on the diplomatic actions to implement the Prime Minister's will, although things in East Pakistan were more acute!

Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs chose to appease the Pakistan People's Party, the leading party in West Pakistan.

Out of memories from his past life, Alan Wilson happened to have an impression of Ali Bhutto, a being who was similar to the founding father who was killed by the military junta.

It is true that Ali Jinnah is the founding father of Pakistan, but his status is actually similar to that of a person like Gandhi. He died of illness just after the establishment of Pakistan, and his image only exists in symbols.

The military junta in Pakistan lasted for such a long time, and Ali Bhutto was the first democratically elected government to come to power and began to reform Pakistan after losing East Pakistan. But because of the issue of land reform, Ali Bhutto was hanged by the military government of the coup.

Although Pakistan also has an electoral system, the largest force in the country is the military. People like Yahya Khan appear one after another. Being constantly in the midst of an elected government and a military government, swinging back and forth in this way is the most harmful to the country, and it is not as good as India's elected government. It's very simple. Even if the United States keeps switching between understanding the king for four years and sleeping as the king for four years, the United States can't stand it.

"It expresses our concerns without causing resentment. Well done." Harold Wilson nodded in praise, expressing his approval of the operation of the Cabinet Secretary and Slim.

Expressing congratulations to the Pakistan People's Party can also avoid irritating Yahya Khan on the acute East Pakistan issue, but it does not mean doing nothing.

"Of course, Prime Minister." Alan Wilson accepted the compliment. We should probably take action, but nothing could be done.

Reporting on East Pakistan cannot start now, and the intensity of reporting must be controlled. There is a fatigue period for any information received, and the same is true for war information. If we follow up and report on a large scale now, when it comes time to really need public opinion, British citizens will have a fatigue period, and public opinion will not be mobilized.

Zesheng also knows this truth, so he continues to use his instinct as an actor to increase his government's presence around the world. He is afraid that Ukraine will be forgotten. Once forgotten, he will end up sadly.

Today's British newspapers can report on the situation in East Pakistan, but they are only fulfilling their freedom of information duties and cannot add subjective judgments. In particular, they cannot publish irritating photos. Sensational reports can only be published when the government needs them.

The issue of Pakistan has come to an end. The G10 meeting hosted by the United States is also a major event that the UK is currently paying great attention to.

The United States has already come up with its conditions. The US dollar has depreciated by 7.89% against gold. The official price of gold per ounce has increased from US$35 per ounce to US$38 per ounce. After adjusting for exchange rate parity, the US dollar has depreciated by an average of 10%. Others Major currencies in Europe and the United States have appreciated; the allowable fluctuation range of non-reserve currencies against the US dollar has been adjusted from plus or minus one percent to plus or minus 2.25 percent; the U.S. government has canceled the 10 percent temporary import surcharge.

This condition seems quite good. People who don’t know the truth think that the United States is still trying its best to maintain the Bretton Woods system.

It is not as dramatic as the depreciation of US$70 per ounce as the French said before.

In fact, on the contrary, Alan Wilson gave his own judgment for the Prime Minister, "If it is really one to seventy, it means that the United States will continue to maintain the Bretton Woods system. This subtle adjustment proves that the United States is just Temporary coping, the last US dollar exchange, according to subsequent investigations, used US dollars of 70 to 80 billion, enough to empty the Federal Reserve's gold reserves three times. Devaluation from 1:35 to 1:70 cannot solve the problem The question is, why does it take one to one hundred to balance the hedging of such a huge amount of U.S. dollars?"

"If the United States wants to default on its debts, it can do so. But now the United States has chosen to actually default on its debts but does not admit that it has defaulted on its debts. This is very subtle."

"Of course, we cannot withdraw our troops from the Middle East." Harold Wilson knew what the Cabinet Secretary wanted to say; the issue had been discussed the last time.

"Regarding the Middle East road map, which is the long-term preservation of British interests in the Middle East that was previously discussed, we have some plans. The Prime Minister can take a look and make a judgment." Alan Wilson spoke, and with the Prime Minister's consent, he took it over .

In fact, it was merger. Merger was very consistent with the traditional British colonial management. However, by 1970, many people believed that partition was not an impossible option.

But for those emirs in the Middle East, Alan Wilson still believes that merger, that is, the UAE model is the most appropriate. If they are allowed to be independent, it will only distract the attention of the British army in the Middle East. Even if these emirates merge, they will not be one. A country of sufficient size, not considered a big country in terms of population and area, is still within the radiation of Britain's national power, so merging is not a bad idea.

According to this plan, the new United Arab Emirates includes Bahrain and Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Hayin, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, a total of nine British protectorates. Incorporate a new country called the United Arab Emirates.

After the establishment of the UAE, it will be a neighbor of Oman, which is also a British protectorate. There is also an enclave issue, that is, Oman’s Musandam Province. Musandam Province will be separated by the new UAE and become an enclave. In enclaves not connected by land.

Musandem Province is actually very important. Later generations of Yin Lang would block the Strait of Hormuz at every turn, but the western protrusion at the exit of the strait is Musandem Province. If a military base is built here, it will be able to control the world's energy channel. Tankers filled with oil in the Persian Gulf, whether heading east to the Asia-Pacific or west to Europe and the United States, will have to pass through here.

The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is the gateway to oil depots and the throat of the world. Musandam Province. It is like a sharp sword inserted into the Strait of Hormuz. Its strategic location is very important. If you want, you can close the strait through Musandam at any time.

Strictly speaking, Britain's current sphere of influence in the Middle East is not Yinlak. Of course, it is also true that the Yinlak royal family has a good relationship with the United Kingdom. The three places where troops are still stationed, Kuwait, the upcoming UAE, and Oman, are the three places where the UK can still control the situation.

Harold Wilson was very interested in this plan. Preserving local British influence was a top priority, and there was no surer way than the existence of a military base.

The Prime Minister had to make a wise judgment. Of course, Alan Wilson could not continue to interfere here. He left No. 10 Downing Street and went home to continue his education plan. It's not that he has a preference for children, so he is particularly concerned about Xia Meng's children, but that he is the only child suitable to be a trendsetter in reform and opening up.

We can't let Vivien Leigh's son make a lofty comment from time to time that we Chinese are too powerful. This is somewhat inappropriate.

"This war is not over yet." Xia Meng sat in the reserved position between the man's legs, leaning up and leaning on Alan Wilson's shoulder, watching the news with a man of the same status as her husband.

Xia Meng thought that this man was a bit old-fashioned and was not interested in any entertainment projects. He only paid attention to the news column. But what could she do? She was already like this. She carefully made a suggestion, "Warrior Challenge and the relationship between cities." The program is also very good.”

"Isn't that a program produced by Vivian?" Alan Wilson answered absentmindedly, and then said smugly, "You don't know, that's a program I designed. Fans of both programs should thank me. Stars, Sword Forging Competition, Hercules Competition, you haven’t seen these shows yet, it doesn’t matter, they will appear in the future when Vivian is ready.”

The supreme authority is also worried about the spiritual nourishment of British citizens. He is definitely busier than the Prime Minister, which is definitely not just talk. Now two very popular programs are being promoted simultaneously in European and American countries. It is just fun for scholars to talk about soft power. The supreme authority is the soft power expert.

"If you have time to go to Australia, you can also watch the women's rugby match. Pamela sponsors it." Alan Wilson suggested, hugging Xia Meng's body.

It has also stimulated Australians' enthusiasm for sports and strengthened their physical fitness. If British citizens do not object, they can land in the UK at the appropriate time.

At this time, the TV screen changed, and a familiar face appeared. Wickham passionately criticized Japan's trade protectionism, neglect of supporting property rights, currency manipulation, and forced labor.

At this moment, countless old white British men sitting in front of the TV cheered loudly, intoxicated by the heroic appearance of the diplomats. What they said made sense, and it was long overdue that Japan should be shown how powerful it was.

This meeting is extremely special. The United States has defaulted first. If the United Kingdom is still an empire on which the sun never sets, it will definitely proceed from its position of strength. But the United Kingdom does not have that strength. The same is true for other European countries. Uniting is one way, but it is also easy. Although divided by the United States, it is still easy for Britain to unite Europe by venting its anger on Japan.
