Chapter 968 Hoarding Silver

Naturally, Alan Wilson didn't know that in the eyes of the current US Secretary of State, Britain had gone from being a model in the field of diplomacy to a being that even had problems with its strategic vision. In the eyes of Americans, it took just ten years to complete such a transformation. .

The impermanence of life can be seen from this point. The United States has now completely psychologically accepted its position as the world's hegemon.

Arrogance breeds, the belief that you are right, and if someone objects, then the person objecting must be wrong.

But even if he knew it, he couldn't refute the Americans. In the industrial era, the conditions in North America were really good. It was completely different from the agricultural era, where the environment was harvested from time to time by the cold currents of the Arctic Ocean.

As has been known all along, countries are compared based on their land area and population, and other aspects are unimportant compared to the first two.

It's not that Britain has never stopped the expansion of the United States. In fact, the Canadian Federation was merged with the hope that the British North American colonies would not be annexed.

However, with the sacrifice of Louis XVI, the United Kingdom did not prevent the independence of the United States from the beginning, and its subsequent actions could not reverse the disadvantage. In fact, from earlier on, Britain should have realized that land and population are the most important things for a country.

During the Seven Years' War, Britain completely trampled France under its feet. At least in the war in North America, Britain relied on the population advantage of its North American colonies to crush New France, which had few French immigrants, and won the victory on the American battlefield.

As the United States grew stronger after independence, Britain's suppression became increasingly inadequate. It has finally evolved into today's situation. Now it is no longer about regaining the position of world hegemon, but about retaining the current position and not falling.

Vivien Leigh is not like men of the same status as her husband, who are still worried about the country and the people even in another country far away from the UK. The British treasure is relaxed and cherishes the time when she can have no worries. She can ride on the rocket when she wants. The war of words is just a war of words, and I can't wait to hang it on Alan Wilson.

The Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was belatedly aware of this, also came to his senses, understood the British treasure's thoughts, and activated the Pua skill, "Why don't you take a look at your friends, we should make some connections when we come to the United States. "

It's not like he didn't know Vivien Leigh's friends, some of them were very familiar to him, and they all had in-depth exchanges with them.

"Want to go to Los Angeles for a visit?" Vivien Leigh knew that Alan Wilson had something important to do, so she asked about the itinerary first.

"I visited in secret, and the matters discussed should not be made public, so I came to the United States on vacation." Of course, Alan Wilson told the truth, persuading the United States to abandon the Scam Island to stabilize the situation in Asia. Can this kind of thing be made public?

This kind of condition is simply an insult to the intelligence of the Americans. The Americans have restrained themselves by not asking the British to give up Hong Kong.

So in essence, he is conducting a secret visit on Asia-Pacific issues. As long as he does not stay in the United States and does not go back, he still has plenty of time and can travel around within the allowed range.

He originally came to the United States secretly in the name of vacation to implement the foreign minister's grand plan, but he was bound to fail.

The rest of the time is up to him to arrange. Alan Wilson still did not forget to get together with the McCarthys to consolidate the special relationship between Britain and the United States. McCarthy is still very important.

"Express goodwill to China?" McCarthy asked in disbelief, as if meeting this friend for the first time, "Allen, I thought we had a lot in common."

"Of course there are a lot in common, and the perspectives on the problem are surprisingly consistent." Alan Wilson straightened his back. He even helped McCarthy kill Chaplin, but McCarthy didn't need to know about this.

It would be better for everyone to link Chaplin's death to the CIA's covert operations.

After looking annoyed at being questioned, Alan Wilson told his old friend that he actually had doubts about this policy. It's not that I fully support it, but I don't firmly oppose it.

McCarthy finally accepted this argument and shook his head, "I don't understand.

Britain seemed to have lost its edge after the war. "

"It is better to say that it has become more realistic." Alan Wilson did not deny it. The main thing he did not deny was that he was lying.

In fact, British citizens still believe that Britain is a world empire, not much worse than the United States and the Soviet Union.

It's just that some people in the upper class believe that Britain should be subordinate to the United States. This includes Macmillan, the Conservative Party’s No. 2 figure, but definitely not Eden, the No. 1 figure.

The Labor Party is more pragmatic and is still practicing the strategy of creeping back and trying to delay the disintegration of the British colonial empire.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is another way of saying that during the Anti-Japanese War, we used delay to wait for change and exchange space for time. While retreating in an orderly manner, look for opportunities to make a comeback.

Of course, Alan Wilson knows where the opportunity is. Before that, he still needs to try to stabilize Britain's position. If the recession is too severe, there will be no hope of a comeback.

It can be seen from the fact that they quickly arrived in Los Angeles on a domestic airline Boeing plane. The domestic trade protection in the United States is so serious. The British Comet airliner has already spread to airlines in various countries. The United States has been stubborn for so many years, not even a jet route has been opened, and the Comet airliner has not been allowed to come in.

However, the Comet passenger aircraft has accumulated results for many years. As long as there are no major problems, it will still be possible to share the world with Boeing in the future.

After a trip to the Los Angeles Consulate to report, Alan Wilson’s part of balancing public and private affairs this time was his private vacation time.

Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, and old friends came to express their joy. Of course, this joy was mainly for Vivien Leigh. It must be said that the British treasure His popularity is indeed quite good.

Even though she is already the president of United Artists, Vivien Leigh still maintains a good personal relationship with these female stars who are either outdated or about to become outdated, and they are not arrogant at all.

"Their careers are not developing very well now. Fortunately, Barbie's income is not bad." Vivien Leigh was also very sentimental, looking at Alan Wilson with tender eyes, "If it weren't for you, I guess I would be about the same as them. I am in a good mood now. Now I have no extravagant expectations. I just hope that God will let David grow up and become an excellent man like you..."

The British treasure was so affectionate that he almost confused the deputy secretary of the British Empire. She was completely unprepared for this confession, "Actually, there is another opportunity. If Vivian is willing to believe me, buy silver now."

Alan Wilson thought about it for a moment, and he really remembered an opportunity to make profits, and that was silver. This is what Vivien Leigh can do now, because she has industry in the United States.

This transaction can be said to be a sure profit without loss. First of all, in terms of its own resources, the United States itself is a major silver-producing country. Silver itself has certain monetary properties and is often used as a backup for gold.

In fact, this is true. The current U.S. coins are still made of silver. Currently, there are not many countries in the world that use silver to make coins. The United States is one of them. The coins of the United States are accurately called silver coins. .

Politically speaking, because of the huge silver reserves in the United States, there is a group called the Silver Party among the two political parties in the United States, especially the Democratic Party. This group is quite powerful. The westward expansion movement from the United States has become a climate. William at the beginning of the century ·Bryan was very popular with the Silver Party members.

William Bryan's campaign policy was a silver policy, which was based on minting unlimited amounts of silver coins at a ratio of sixteen to gold. Based on this platform, he also accepted the nomination of the Populist Party and the National Silver Party against William McKinley, who was supported by Rockefeller, Morgan, and Carnegie.

Although William Bryan never won the election, the influence of the Silver Party did not disappear. It always existed in the Democratic Party and was a quite influential group within the Democratic Party.

Alan Wilson remembers that after Kennedy came to power, the Silver Party members once again strongly supported Kennedy. There are rumors in the market that Kennedy's final assassination was also related to the struggle between silver and gold.

Whether this news is true or not is not yet said, but one thing is for sure, that is, during the Kennedy tenure in the United States, silver did have a sharp rise. If you hoard silver with your funds now, you will make a lot of money when silver rises. Pen.

Even in the long run, hoarding silver will not make you lose money. The most important thing about silver is to make jewelry. Silver decorations have a large market in the world, and there are many types of supplies made of silver, such as tableware and furniture.

Silver also occupies a very important position in electronic products, but the use of silver in the electronic field is not pure silver used in silverware. The silver used in electronic products is various composite compounds of silver, so the demand for silver It is very large, so most of the silver is used in the production of electronic products.

These two points result in the fact that the value of silver has a bottom line, and the chance of depreciation is low if it is hoarded in your hands.

Vivien Leigh did not understand these objective conditions, especially the knowledge reserve in a man’s mind, but the British treasure believed in this man unconditionally. She believed that Alan Wilson would not harm their mother and son, “Since you said so, I will pay attention to this aspect. , if we lose, you can’t leave me and David alone then.”

"I think I can still do well in treating women." Alan Wilson asked himself, he didn't seem to have been sorry to any woman with the same status as his wife in this regard, not even one.

"Go and see how Monroe is doing. I haven't seen her for a long time." Vivien Leigh leaned into the man's arms and asked.

"I have no problem. She is not a has-been star. Do you want to prepare any gifts?" Alan Wilson kissed Vivien Leigh's forehead, "Otherwise it will look a bit undignified."
