Chapter 1441 Beware of Pinochet

"As expected of a family." Alan Wilson opened his mouth wide, praising the unity among the royal family members, but having said that, who can be exempted from vulgarity? After all, a family is different from outsiders.

If someone suggested settling the bill with diamonds, wouldn't he spit in his face? Standard man-made demand products, even if they are not completely worthless, don't even think about fooling him.

But Alexeyev came over and said this. He still did not refuse them all, saying that diamonds of more than ten carats were not unnecessarily negotiable. At the critical moment, he still wanted to take care of the son of the tsar.

"What does the Cabinet think of this?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, Harold Wilson, what he thought of the matter.

"He is happy, who is not happy when he sees gold? Gold is naturally..." Alan Wilson suddenly got stuck. He originally wanted to say that gold is naturally currency, but when he thought of the sleeping king who was still the youngest senator in the United States at this time, After banning Russian gold, I suddenly felt not so sure again.

Such counter-intuitive things can happen when hegemony is in hand. It cannot be said that a city on a hill is stupid. The key is that there are no competitors.

France's national strength has been weakened a bit by the talk of the EU, and everyone in the EU is like this, not to mention that the EU is full of disciples supported by the United States, so why doesn't the United States try to follow its words?

In the end, Alan Wilson and Hao Daer reached an agreement. Two hundred tons of gold were first shipped to London and converted into pounds to buy grain. If enough was used, the British would exchange the pounds back into gold. There was no need to worry that Britain would default on the debt. The Soviet Union was too Stronger.

In fact, before the negotiations were concluded, the ambassadors of the two most populous countries had already started working, talking about exchanging precious foreign exchange reserves for food that could be grown at any time.

During the settlement negotiations, the Soviet Union could export steel and cement to the United Kingdom to offset part of the gold settlement share, which was used for the reconstruction of Bangladesh. It is best not to use Malaya's industrial capacity to suddenly increase industrial production capacity. Once the reconstruction is completed, Malaya may have a backlog.

The Soviet Union has such a large production capacity, it doesn't matter if it is more or less. If the same need is 5 million tons of steel, the Soviet Union, with an annual output of 140 to 500 million tons, is obviously easier to adjust than Malaya, with an annual output of 35 million tons.

The news that the Soviet Union replenished its domestic grain reserves did not cause fluctuations in international grain prices. Even after the news appeared, international grain prices fell because the Soviet Union's demand ended this year.

Alan Wilson believed that the Soviet Union must be paying close attention to changes in international food prices and looking for opportunities to enter the market, and the results will definitely be seen within two months.

At this time, the cabinet, prime minister and ministers were happy with the news that two hundred tons of gold had arrived in London. There was less intrigue and intrigue in No. 10 Downing Street, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

Alan Wilson took the telegram of the grain ship departing from Dalian and gave Alexeyev a reassurance, "Look, can't this be done? I believe there will be good news in Mumbai soon."

"The United Kingdom really has the means." Alexeyev felt complicated. The two most populous countries at least had good relations with the Soviet Union now or before, but the United Kingdom could do what it said.

"Because we in the UK are a truly imperialist country. It is useless to talk about class sentiments with the UK. It is more useful to talk about money. As for India, it is our original colony." Alan Wilson said with a proud voice He puffed up his chest proudly and said, "The Soviet Union can't do this, otherwise it will be regarded as forcing debt, but we can do it."

Looking at the invincible face of this old-style imperialism, Alexeyev was furious, "I conquered the largest country in Southeast Asia in one day in Indonesia."

"You wouldn't be able to take it down without me." Alan Wilson chuckled unsurprisingly, "I wouldn't have known it until you told me, but I ended up taking advantage of you."

The supreme authority was still surprised at that time. Who did what happened in Indonesia? Today we found out that it was the son of the tsar who did it. But how old was he at that time? I couldn't help but sigh, "You are very brave."

Alexeyev was a little confused, and Alan Wilson waved his hand.

"We've finished talking about official matters, and you should be returning to China soon. Let's have a casual chat."

"Well, let's talk." A complicated look flashed across Alexeyev's face. He felt that this might be the most complicated father-son relationship in the world. The two were in two camps, and the previous negotiations were not completely hostile. , at least not letting personal feelings affect it.

He had to admit that the head of the British civil service was a master negotiator. Of course, the other party he was negotiating with at the Potsdam Conference was his mother Fortseva. Even the mother could handle it, let alone his son.

"Have you been promoted since you returned this time? Don't look at me like that. I'm happy for your promotion. I think it's not enough for you to be the director of the general bureau, but you should be the head of the subordinate departments. After all, Yekaterina is here. No matter how you say it, the Soviet Union has a few leaders."

Alan Wilson didn't look at the other party's eyes at all, and just said these words in a guessing tone, "This food purchase is a credit if nothing else. It is impossible for you to be promoted immediately and it will be helpful in the future. I don't mean to say this." Whatever I get from you, you are a Soviet and you should serve the Soviet Union. I am a British person and I must also consider the interests of the United Kingdom. Otherwise, if you settle the matter with diamonds composed of the same carbon, I will agree."

Listening to Alan Wilson's words, Alexeyev remained silent, "If you need help one day, I will be willing to help as long as it does not violate the national interests."

"These are my words. You should be careful about yourself." Alan Wilson chuckled, stretched and said in a long tone, "You have a lot of problems. Even within the Warsaw Pact, there must be no problems?"

"What's the problem? They don't have the strength." Alexeyev's first thought was Poland. He was in Warsaw when he airborne in Warsaw.

"As for the countries that have enmity with the Soviet Union, most of them have a decent relationship, and after thinking about it, it is Poland. This Catholic country is also a Slavic people, but it is a big trouble for the Soviet Union. Of course, this is not a problem unique to the Soviet Union. The United Kingdom Ireland next to it, Japan and South Korea in East Asia, and even Vietnam, Pakistan in South Asia, and Mexico next to the United States, none of them like neighbors who are stronger than themselves."

Alan Wilson really mentioned Poland. It would be fine if the small country next to the big country has never been rich, just because it is really rich by chance.

It is much easier to think about it. Before the territory was ceded by the United States, Mexico was well in charge of Latin America. Although Brazil has a larger territory, it is still not easy for Portuguese to lead a group of Spanish.

Japan and South Korea also belong to this category. Pakistan is a modern version of the Peace Sect that defeated Hinduism in the agricultural era. Even if it cannot defeat India, it does not want to admit defeat to India.

Before the expansion of the Russian empire, the overlord of Eastern Europe was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea is the meaning of the name of Poland. Poland and Lithuania were the countries that later became the most violently anti-Russian.

It is not necessarily true to say that all Eastern European countries are anti-Russian. In other words, the three big-nosed countries of Poland and the Baltic Sea are truly anti-Russian. The Slavic countries in Southeast Europe were all rescued from the Ottoman Empire by Imperial Russia. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are not incompatible with Russia.

The reason why Eastern Europe seems to be anti-Russian is because Russia is weak, isn't it? They wouldn't dare even if the Soviet Union's strength scared them to death.

Isn’t the comparison between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War similar to the comparison between China and the United States across the Pacific Ocean in the 21st century? Looking at the comparison of the economic aggregates of China and Russia, Russia has almost declined tenfold relative to it.

Even taking into account Russia's vast territory and abundant resources and the ruble's exchange rate, a decline of three or four times is bound to happen, so why don't the restless friends around you jump up and perform?

Compared with these countries, Ireland next to the United Kingdom is considered easy to deal with. Ireland is really not rich. Alan Wilson still has some confidence in benefiting Ireland. If Ireland also had a rich history, the Irish problem would be even more troublesome.

Now that the issue of the side of the bed was mentioned, Alan Wilson thought that since it was no one else, he suddenly said, "I won't hide it from you. Allende will probably not survive next year."

"What? Chilean President Allende?" Alexeyev was shocked. He did not expect to hear such explosive news. "You won't lie to me? You also said that there might be a war in the Middle East."

"Britain is leaning toward Arab countries. Will the United States tell Britain when to go to war?"

Alan Wilson curled his lips and said, "But our intelligence department has analyzed that the Middle East will start a war in a short period of time. The United States is hiding it from us, and we don't know the exact information. But Allende is at risk of a coup, and I did not analyze it. There has to be an economic crisis to facilitate a coup, and you will know when the time comes."

Of course, this is also a lie. He also has no information about Chile's coup, which is why he dares to shout it out, unless there is a person similar to Yuri in the United States who can follow his thoughts and find out who he is, the supreme authority.

Otherwise, they will only be suspicious in their own country, whether Soviet spies have infiltrated high-level officials in the United States again.

And this is also a good thing for the United Kingdom. The Soviet Union puts your national power in places where the United States will really jump. Don't always use your strength against Europe. Latin America is a place where the United States will definitely jump.

Ever since what happened in Cuba under its nose, the United States has been on tight guard against the entire America. Allende's opponents in every election have received funding from the United States. Since Allende came to power, the United States has been thinking of ways to stage a coup.

If the Soviet Union can benefit so much, isn't it better to benefit Latin America than it is to benefit Sudan or Somalia?

"In the long run, Latin American people smuggling will become a big problem facing the United States. But this will take time to verify." Alan Wilson stood up and spoke without pain, although the British population has not changed much since the war.

However, he has specifically investigated and found that it is not the plummeting fertility rate in the UK, but the Whitehall's guidance of immigration to Australia that has had an effect, and the UK's population structure is still healthy.

The supreme authority who decided to make up for Alexeyev's lessons planned a plan about the linkage between the Middle East war and the Chilean coup during the last meeting before returning home, and then suddenly something seemed to come up, "You guys seem to Are there many prisoners imprisoned in Cuba?”

"There is such a thing!" Alexeyev nodded. Americans also knew about this new era of exile and often used it to criticize the Soviet Union. He didn't know what the purpose of putting it there was.

"Let Castro be released to the United States when he takes action. Including Cuba's own pro-American groups, there must be hundreds of thousands of people, enough to keep the United States busy for half a month." Alan Wilson said with ease, "It is best to work hard for three Things happen at a certain point in time, and it depends on the capabilities of your KGB. Pinochet must be careful, he is very dangerous."

It's a very old-fashioned way of making excuses. Alexeyev doesn't need to thank him. This is what should be done. The settlement share of pounds in the entire America is only 6%, and the rest is in US dollars.

America is such a great battlefield. Alan Wilson is considering this because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. If the United States fights in its own base camp, doesn't that mean it has the upper hand? To have the Soviet Union at your fingertips?

"Once Latin America is in turmoil, the locals will only hate the United States. Go ahead and do it boldly." Alan Wilson had already put on his coat and then stopped, "Tell Ekaterina about the conversation you and I had today. For now, Said, your situation cannot be compared with your mother. Pay more attention to the political situation in the United States, the Watergate incident will not end so easily."
