In the past few days, Alan Wilson's already high family status has been significantly improved. All slightly excessive demands have been met. This is life.
"I think these gold coins from the Roman Empire are regarded as family inheritance tokens." Alan Wilson held a Roman gold coin and sighed, "There are more than five hundred of them, which can be passed down for many generations. If this is in a place with limited information, We could pretend to be an old family, a Rothschild or something.”
"That Jewish family is okay, not that powerful." Pamela Mountbatten tilted her head, wondering why her fiancé was so interested in a very ordinary business family.
"I said it wrong, it's my fault." Alan Wilson patted his face and decisively admitted his mistake to his fiancée.
What he meant was to pretend to be some thousand-year-old family, such as the four famous hidden families in China, the Thirteen Vampire Clan, the Dark Council, etc.
"There's really nothing I can do about you!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled and had to admit that being with this man made her feel comfortable and all her worries were gone.
"If I let you worry about these external things, it would be my fault as a man." Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "For example, there is a huge amount of oil around the Persian Gulf. This is a fact known to the whole world, but similar landforms North Africa is still in the exploratory stage. Judging from various data, the most valuable place in Libya is similar to Australia, which is probably in the same position. The French in North Africa are powerful, and we should adopt a common-interest approach with the French."
"Remember it!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, she believed in Alan Wilson's words unconditionally.
Ever since she met this man, she felt as if she was living in a fairy tale. Everything she wanted was at her fingertips and she would hardly worry about trivial matters. Now it had become a habit to trust this man. No matter what Alan Wilson said, she would do it unconditionally. Believe.
"Look, I'm going to Paris to talk to some French nobles." Pamela Mountbatten said this, while also seeking Alan Wilson's opinion.
"Now that you hold Australian iron ore in your hands, you can speak more confidently." Alan Wilson nodded.
Based on the news released now, the news of high-quality iron ore with reserves of one billion tons is also a huge wealth.
What's more, Australia's iron ore reserves are far from one billion tons. The reason why they are limited to one billion tons is to prevent Americans from being unable to bear their inner greed. A billion tons of reserves,
Although it is also a rare iron mine in the world, it is not particularly eye-catching.
After all, the world's high-quality iron ore is not that small, but the reserves are still increased tenfold. It is a unique large iron ore, and it is difficult for Americans to tolerate their greed and find ways to mix it.
The emergence of Australian iron ore allowed Pamela Mountbatten to bind the British nobles. Now we have to go one step further, bind the French aristocracy, and unite the reactionary forces around the world. There is nothing to say about this.
The most important thing is that Libya is a soft place. Even after Kadazou died, Libya had a population of less than six million. Libya now has an estimated population of only one million.
As long as you think about it, it is very easy to control Libya. With part of France's power, you can directly render the heroes of Cardano useless, and it is easy to establish a high-income African country.
"Dear, if, I mean if, if there is a breakthrough in Libya, we must adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover, leave half of the profits to Villa, and you and the French will share the remaining half. We It’s not that the lives of Libyans will be much better, but it must be better than that of neighboring countries.”
There is no essential difference in the resources of all current colonies, whether it is British colonial rule or French colonial rule. The intensity of exploitation in the United States in later generations is indeed much lower than that of Britain and France. The United States does not exploit these oil-producing countries, but uses these oil-producing countries to kill its competitors.
Now the British oil company in the Persian Gulf has nothing left, not to mention giving to the local area, but it is almost nothing.
Alan Wilson hopes that Pamela Mountbatten can change this model and leave enough benefits to Libya to prop up the framework of the welfare state. Anyway, Libya's population is small enough.
"I listen to you. It seems that I must occupy a majority of the shares in order to suppress the opposition of the French. Then we will talk to the Libyans." Pamela Mountbatten understood what Alan Wilson meant, "It is to establish a multinational It’s a joint venture, right? One side is me and the French, and the other side is the Libyan royal family.”
"You can follow the Australian model and give half of the profits to the Libyans. However, when negotiating the contract, it is best to set up a moral framework and let the Libyan royal family use the profits to provide benefits to ordinary people." Alan Wilson pointed to Pa Mera Mountbatten, "You must restrain your greed at this time. You must know that Americans are much richer than us. The British Empire currently does not lack colonies, but it lacks channels for realization."
"You seem to be going to Paris for negotiations, right?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, tilting her head.
Alan Wilson nodded and admitted, "My negotiation is not easy to negotiate. The general framework is okay, but there are some conditions that are based on interests. We still have to stick to the British position."
Americans are also good at choosing places. The French have the upper limit. In fact, the technological blockade of the French in the 21st century is not looser than that of the United States. It is just as strict. It is just that the American presence is too high and France is covered up.
It is also a major feature of France to keep secrecy internally and blockade external affairs as a country. France is the country with the strictest technological blockade in Europe, but the United States has too high a presence. Unlike German machinery Japan Electronics, France is good at nuclear technology, large aircraft manufacturing and aerospace technology, arms, and robots.
Unlike other NATO countries, it has been at odds with the United States and withdrawn from NATO for 40 years, so its industrial chain and military industry system are more independent. Moreover, after the Suez Canal crisis, France was faced with the nuclear threat from the Soviet Union, so it decided to invest in nuclear testing and military industry with all its heart. As a third force independent of the two major camps during the Cold War, French scientific research was destined to be seriously confidential.
Naturally, the United States turned a blind eye to France during the Cold War. As soon as the Cold War ended, the United States began to retaliate. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it directly set France as a strategic competitor. Two thousand years ago, it frequently struck hard at France.
If the rise of a large country in the Far East had not diverted attention, France would certainly have enjoyed the meticulous care of the United States for a long time.
In recent days, he has also been writing a report to the Cabinet Secretary, regarding the third part of supporting the value of the pound.
To this end, Alan Wilson suggested issuing an Asian pound, which was actually what France later did, such as the CFA franc.
The more you can control the monetary situation of the colony, the more you can control the colony. A separate currency is the best way to strengthen control over colonial currency. The banks that could print money were all under the control of the colonial government. Money could be tight or loose at will, and it could be manipulated with ease.
The smaller the scope of use and circulation of currency, the better the control. A separate currency is the best choice.
Issuing a separate currency, the pound can affect the value of the Asian pound, but not the other way around.
If the colonial government tightened money and used an independent currency + controlled the exchange rate, it would be really tightening. But what if we use pounds directly?
It doesn't matter, naturally someone will get money from other places. For a small colony, it is impossible to control the exchange rate of pounds and the amount of banknotes issued, so it is not easy to control the colony. This is the perspective of Britain's influence on the colonies; from another perspective, look at Let’s look at whether the colonies will affect the British mainland: What if the colonies become independent one day, and if the currency changes, a large amount of excess pounds in the colonies will backfire on the UK, wouldn’t it be a mess?
If the currency of British India was the pound, and Nehru came to power and announced the use of a new currency, then not all pounds would return to the homeland. You must know that Britain is already in a state of contraction. Isn't this another heavy blow to this declining empire?
This is also the reason why France promotes the CFA franc in Africa instead of directly using the franc, all to leave a way out for the local area.
Anyway, as long as the right to issue currency is controlled, the franc can be exchanged for CFA francs at any time, but not the other way around.
The essence of currency is that it needs things to support it. If currency cannot buy things, it will inevitably depreciate. The scope of application of the pound is getting smaller and smaller, which is also related to the fact that the UK can provide fewer and fewer items.
In terms of industrial scale, it is impossible for the UK to catch up with the United States. However, if it can be supplemented by Malaya, it is not impossible to maintain the current scope of use. It is worthy of being an international currency.
Without this support, the pound will continue to depreciate and its circulation scope will become smaller and smaller. This is not a problem that can be solved by turning on the money printing machine. Simply printing money without the support of corresponding industrial products is not a long-term solution.
Arriving at the Cabinet Secretary's Office again and handing in the industrial transfer report, Alan Wilson turned around and was about to leave. Norman Brooke said, "Sit down for a while."
Alan Wilson sat straight up and waited for Norman Brooke. After a long time, Norman Brooke said, "Actually, we have always issued new currency in the colonies. You should know this. Of course, the credit of industrial industry to support currency cannot To say it is novel is logically correct.”
"For a person who is not an expert, it is pretty good. I will change your report. You should also know that there is news about you on the list of negotiators. Go and prepare to go to Paris." Norman Brooke nodded slightly. road.
"Yes, Sir!" Alan Wilson's chest rose and fell. Is this considered an initial success?
