British civil servant

"Bury it again, let's think of a way first." Pamela Mountbatten whispered while grabbing the man's reddened hand.

Now the two of them have the demeanor of male and female thieves. They have never thought about handing over this treasure to the British Empire. When they entered the house, Alan Wilson, who was a little tired, took off his clothes and lay directly on it. Frowning, he turned over, stretched out his hand and grabbed Pamela Mountbatten's ring, and exclaimed, "So it's here?"

"The owner of this treasure must have a distinguished background." After taking the ring and putting it on her hand again, Pamela Mountbatten reached out and touched her face, which was very hot.

"It's probably equivalent to the background of your family at that time." Alan Wilson launched a fierce attack on the water in the glass, his body was already covered with sweat, and he felt sore, "Pamela, come here. You said How to deal with this treasure?"

"I don't know!" Pamela Mountbatten snuggled into the man's arms, the skin she touched was sticky, she could feel the man's fatigue, she must be exhausted, "You must be exhausted, sweating so much. "

"I don't feel tired when digging!" Alan Wilson's voice was a little rough, he gnawed at the woman's lips, and then stopped talking to himself, "Let's take a rest first, even if it is Shire who plows the land The horse is resting too."

In the end, the two decided to temporarily stop digging, take away the unearthed treasures first, and return to London to prepare for a while before returning.

Alan Wilson was exhausted and paralyzed, of course Pamela Mountbatten did the driving. Looking at the man in the back seat who was still able to shake a sledgehammer with the bumps, Pamela Mountbatten tried his best to reduce the bumps, his face is rather complicated.

I remembered what the Hindu master said to himself in that Indian temple. The Indian master said that the two of them would be very happy together, and they could even get a fortune together. But this man is very popular with women, and he always Different women will appear to test the relationship between the two.

"Hey!" Pamela Mountbatten sighed to herself, and said mentally, was it true after all?It would be nice if it didn't work.

She has no doubts at all, everything is obvious now, it is obvious that the master's prophecy has come true.

Of course, Allen Wilson knew nothing about women's psychological activities. It was not fake that he looked like a dog. He didn't wake up until London, and he just fell asleep upside down.

"We should find a place to identify it. What if it is fake?" Alan Wilson returned to London full of energy, and the iron box used in India has the function of serving again.

"If I have a chance, I will go to someone for an appraisal. I need to ask my mother. I remember that the curator of the London Museum is my mother's friend." Pamela Mountbatten walked out of the bathroom, "Put the water in, go in and have a dip. , I'm exhausting you."

"I don't object to taking a bath, but it's better to be able to take a bath together." Alan Wilson grabbed his fiancée's hand and entered the bathroom together.

After a day's rest, the more prepared two returned to Hawkson. This kind of thing still cannot be done with others.That might save a little effort, but it does increase reliability.

Like this kind of work, like the Whitehall work code, especially reliable...

After a day of excavation, a total of 560 silver coins, 24 five gold coins, [-] copper coins, some handicrafts, jewelry and gold nuggets were unearthed. Regardless of historical value, the last piece of gold that can be moved by non-manpower has the greatest value. .

However, things from the era of the Roman Empire can’t be done without considering the historical value. They successfully used the rope buckle to pull out the gold nugget, and the two were relieved, and their eyes were full of joy.

5 Chapter [-] Submission of Reports

In the past few days, Alan Wilson's already high family status has been significantly elevated. All slightly excessive requirements have been fully satisfied. This is life.

"I think these gold coins from the Roman Empire are family inheritance tokens." Alan Wilson held a Roman gold coin and sighed, "There are more than 500 coins, which can be passed down for many generations. If this is in a place where news is blocked, we will You can pretend to be an ancient family, Rothschild or something."

"That Jewish family is okay, and it's not that powerful." Pamela Mountbatten tilted her head, not understanding why her fiancé took such a fancy to a very ordinary business family.

"I made a mistake, 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 a thousand-year-old family, such as the four famous Chinese hermit families in the world, the thirteen vampire clans, and the Dark Council.

"There's nothing I can do about you!" Pamela Mountbatten smiled, and had to admit that being with this man made me feel at ease, and all my troubles were swept away.

"If you are troubled by these extraneous things, it is my dereliction of duty as a man." Alan Wilson said in a low voice, "It is a fact known to the whole world that there is a large amount of oil around the Persian Gulf, but similar landforms North Africa is still in the exploratory stage. Judging from various sources, Libya is the most valuable place, but Australia is similar, probably in the same position, and the French in North Africa are powerful, so we should take a common interest approach with the French.”

"Remember it!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and she believed unconditionally in Alan Wilson's words.

Ever since she got to know this man, she felt as if she was living in a fairy tale. She could get everything she wanted, and hardly bothered about trivial matters. Now trusting this man has become a habit. No matter what Alan Wilson says, she will be unconditional. believe.

"So look, I'm going to Paris and talk to some French nobles." Pamela Mountbatten said so, and at the same time asked for Alan Wilson's opinion.

"Now that you hold Australian iron ore in your hand, you can speak more confidently." Alan Wilson nodded.

Just 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 it is limited to one billion tons is to prevent the Americans from being unable to bear their inner greed. Although the one billion tons of iron ore reserves are rare in the world, they are still Not particularly noticeable.

After all, there are not so few high-quality iron ore in this world, but the reserves are still increased by ten times. It is a unique large iron ore. It is difficult for Americans to resist greedily and try to blend it.

The emergence of iron mines in Australia allowed Pamela Mountbatten to bind the great nobles of the British mainland.Now we have to go a step further, binding the French aristocratic class, and the reactionary forces of the world are united. There is nothing to say about this.

The most important thing is that this place in Libya is soft enough. Even after Kadazuo died, Libya has a population of less than 600 million.The entire territory of Libya is now estimated to have a population of only one million.

As long as you think about it, it is very easy to control Libya. With part of the power of France, you can directly make the hero Card Dazuo useless, and it is easy to establish a high-income country in Africa.

"Honey, if, I mean, if, if there is a breakthrough in Libya, we must adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover, leaving half of the profits to Libya, and the remaining half between you and the French. We It’s not about making Libyans live better, but it must be better than the surrounding countries.”

There is no essential difference in the resources of all the current colonies, whether it is British colonial rule or French colonial rule. The exploitation of the United States in later generations is indeed much lower than that of Britain and France.It is not these oil-producing countries that the United States exploits, but uses these oil-producing countries to kill its own competitors.

Now the British-owned British Petroleum Company in the Persian Gulf has nothing left for the local area, but there is almost nothing left.

Alan Wilson hopes that Pamela Mountbatten can change this model, leaving enough benefits for Libya to support the framework of the welfare state, anyway, Libya's population is small enough.

"I listen to you, so it seems that I must occupy the majority of shares in order to suppress the opposition of the French. Then talk to the Libyans." Pamela Mountbatten understood what Alan Wilson meant, "It is to establish a multinational A joint venture, right? On one side is me and the French, and on 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 so that the Libyan royal family can use the profits to distribute benefits to ordinary people." Alan Wilson pointed to Pa Melamount Barton, "At this time, you must restrain your greed. You must know that Americans have more money than us. The current British Empire does not lack colonies, but what it lacks is channels for cash."

"You seem to be going to Paris to negotiate too?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, tilting her head.

Alan Wilson nodded and admitted, "My negotiation is not easy. The big framework is fine, but some conditions are out of interest, so I still have to stick to the British position."

Americans are also quite good at choosing places, and the French have their upper limit there. 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, but the American presence is too high to cover up France.

It is also a major feature of France to use the country as a unit to keep secrets internally and block externally.France is the country with the strictest technological blockade in Europe, but the United States has too much sense of presence.Unlike German machinery Japan Electronics, France is good at nuclear technology, large aircraft manufacturing and aerospace technology, munitions, and robots.

Unlike other NATO countries, it once fought against the United States and withdrew from NATO for 40 years, so its industrial chain and military industrial system are more independent.Moreover, after the Suez Canal crisis, France was under the nuclear threat of the Soviet Union, so it decided to invest in nuclear testing and military industry wholeheartedly.As the third force independent of the two camps during the Cold War, French scientific research is doomed to have serious confidentiality.

Naturally, when the Cold War confronted the United States, it turned a blind eye to France. Immediately after the end of the Cold War, the United States began to retaliate. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it directly set France as a strategic competitor.

If it weren't for the rise of a certain power in the Far East to divert attention, France would definitely enjoy the meticulous care of the United States for a long time.

He has to write a report to the cabinet secretary in the last few days, about the third part that supports the value of the pound.

For this reason, Alan Wilson proposed to issue Asian pounds. In fact, this is what France did later, 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 the colonial currency.The banks that can print money are all under the control of the colonial government, and the money can be tightened as soon as it is said, and it can be loosened as it is said, and it can be manipulated freely.

The smaller the scope of currency use and circulation, the better the control, and a separate currency is the best choice.

By itself, the pound could affect the value of the Asian pound, but not the other way around.

If the colonial government tightens monetary policy and uses an independent currency + to control the exchange rate, it will be really tightened.But if you use pounds directly?

It doesn't matter, people will naturally get money from other places. For a small colony, it is impossible to control the exchange rate of the pound and the amount of money issued, so it is not so easy to control the colony. See if the colonies will affect the British mainland: In case the colonies become independent one day, if the currency changes and a large amount of excess pounds in the colonies counteract the British, will 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 the pounds would return to the mainland.You must know that Britain is already in a state of contraction. Isn't that another blow to this declining empire?

This is also the reason why France promotes CFA francs in Africa instead of directly using francs, all in order to leave a way out for the mainland.

Anyway, as long as the right to issue currency is under control, francs can be exchanged for CFA francs at any time, but not the other way around.

The essence of currency needs to be supported by things. If the 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 United Kingdom to catch up with the United States, but if it can be supplemented by Malaya, it is not impossible to maintain the existing scope of use, and it is worthy of being an international currency.

Without this support, the pound will continue to depreciate, and the scope of circulation will become less and less.This is not a problem that can be solved by printing money. 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 industry transfer report, Alan Wilson turned around and was about to leave. Norman Brooke said, "Sit down for a while."

Alan Wilson sat straight up, waiting for Norman Brooke. After a long time, Norman Brooke said, "Actually, we have always issued new currency in the colony. You should know this. Of course, the credit of the currency supported by the industry cannot It’s true to say it’s novel.”

"For a person who is not an expert, it is not bad. I will modify your report. You should know that you are on the list of negotiators. Go and prepare to go to Paris." Norman Brook nodded slightly road.

"Yes, sir!" Alan Wilson's chest rose and fell. Is this considered an initial success?

Chapter 511 The Envious French Noble

"In this round of negotiations, we and the United States are not completely in agreement. The Americans want to talk about the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries first, but we want to wait until the technical blockade is settled before talking about the merger of the occupied areas." Nuo Man Brook paused when he said this, "In fact, it's all damage to interests, but it's the difference between a little serious and a little bit."

"The United States launched a technological blockade against Eastern Europe, and we, the countries in Europe, will suffer." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "It is easy to bind North America and Europe together, which is of great benefit to the United States, but in the traditional In fact, our economic relationship with Eastern Europe will inevitably be affected. This is equivalent to putting eggs in one basket. It is okay to say that the two sides have always been in harmony, but we know in our hearts that there is no essential difference between the United States and the Soviet Union on the colonial issue. Too much dependence on the United States will make it easier for the United States to clamp us down."

"So we have to think of a way, otherwise we won't transfer local industries to complete the industrialization of a colony, at least we won't take this matter as an important thing to do."

Norman Brook sighed, "Compared with the Americans, the cards in our hands are still too few. If we have to choose between the United States and the Soviet Union, whether we like it or not, we will choose the United States. Of course, Even if there is a glimmer of possibility, we still hope to rely on ourselves."

Alan Wilson nodded to express his understanding, "In fact, if it is only a technical blockade, there is no problem. I am afraid that it will involve the blockade of raw materials. Recently, I talked with my colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everyone agreed that the blockade of a resource-rich country like the Soviet Union is not a problem. It’s pointless to sell raw materials, don’t we sell Soviet mangoes? And with the current situation in Indonesia, even if we don’t sell them, Indonesia will still sell them.”

"From the perspective of minerals, to be honest, it would be good if the Soviets didn't block us. Except for some tropical crops, I can't think of anything that the Soviet Union lacks. Whether it is oil, minerals or precious minerals, the Soviets are behind us. superior."

To suppress the Soviet Union on iron ore, no country in the world except Australia has this capability.The quality of iron ore in the Soviet Union is not low, also above 50.00%, that is, the quality of iron ore in Australia and Brazil is a little worse, and it is at the same level as the iron ore resources in the United States.

As for the UK, the current remaining iron ore resources in the UK are about the same as those in China, with about 30.00% iron ore left. As for the Lorraine iron ore that Germany and France fought to the death, the quality is also 30.00%.Iron ore in Europe is generally not of high quality, with the only exception being iron ore in Sweden.

Iron, copper, and wood are a major factor in Sweden becoming a developed country.It was the norm at the end of the nineteenth century to discover resources first and then become a developed country. It is precisely the countries with rich resources that can complete the industrial revolution.

Coal wool is to Britain, Lorraine-Ruhr coal and iron is to Germany and France, Bohemian coal is to Austria-Hungary, and the first rich regions in Europe are all places rich in coal, iron, wood and textile resources.A place without these resources, even a political power like Prussia, is still an industrially backward area.

Of course, the relationship between Sweden and the United Kingdom is good. In history, after France established the European Community, the United Kingdom also wooed Sweden to form a free trade zone to fight against it, but it is true that it failed.

"Talk to the Americans calmly, at least we still have the support of many colonial countries." Norman Brook finally let out a little breath. At this meeting, Britain is definitely not without allies.

Completely sever relations with Eastern European countries, not to mention that the United Kingdom is unwilling, and few European countries are willing.After all, it is an economic relationship of several centuries, how can it be broken just like that.

Alan Wilson left the Office of the Cabinet Secretary and was about to leave for France. This time, it was more embarrassing that he was going to act with Pamela Mountbatten, and his fiancée was going to talk to the French nobles about the unity of the British and French business circles.

The embarrassing part is that if Pamela Mountbatten is not in Europe, Alan Wilson actually wants to visit the headquarters of Woodpecker Films, and now he has to plan carefully.

France only abolished the title of nobility, not the title of nobility. It is still a power at present, but it must be getting weaker and weaker.When the country is in a difficult situation, someone must stand up bravely and step on the gas pedal.

Alan Wilson, the British gas pedal, has stepped to the bottom. As an internationalist, he decided to hand over the glorious and arduous task of stepping on the gas pedal to Pamela Mountbatten.

Finally, Alan Wilson, who arrived in Paris, still found an opportunity to sneak into the headquarters building of Woodpecker Films, and came to greet Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamarr, who were in the early stages of their careers.

"So you have returned to London to work?" Ingrid Bergman was not in the headquarters building, but when she came back and saw Alan Wilson, she was about to have sex with Heidi Lamarr, and she was about to proceed to the next step. Long overdue.

"A meeting involving many countries is about to be held. If Pamela comes to meet with the French aristocrats, I will come with her." Alan Wilson replied very frankly.

"The Queen of Steel?" Heidi Rama had seen related reports and asked if it was this person.

"It's not wrong!" Alan Wilson pondered for a while, mainly entangled in whether the word queen was appropriate.

Pamela Mountbatten's father, General Mountbatten, was Prince Philip's uncle, and the Mountbatten family itself is part of the royal family, but that doesn't matter.

The main reason is that Charles Brooke, the king of the Kingdom of Sarawak, has been found by Pamela Mountbatten. At some point, he will go to the Colonial Department to buy it back with 50 pounds at the price of [-] times the original sale of the kingdom. own kingdom.

In fact, Alan Wilson doesn't know whether Pamela Mountbatten can get the legal system of the Kingdom of Sarawak from Charles Brooke, but if the fiancée is really determined to want this identity, then there is really a chance of success.

The Queen of Steel in the mouths of Heidi Rama and Ingrid Bergman is entirely due to the relationship between Australian iron mines.

Although the two movie queens are working hard and want to start their own careers, they are still in their infancy, and they are not very strong in terms of capital, so there is naturally some envy in their words.

"There are many profitable industries in this world. Even if you are making movies, you can also hire professional managers and run some other industries. Isn't Vivienne doing well?" Alan Wilson said comfortingly. I mean, who made him be such a person? He was born to despise women, especially beautiful women.

"I heard that Vivienne has a child!" Ingrid Bergman rolled her eyes at the man who was talking nonsense, "How did you sit here confidently and express your concern for us? Do you still expect us and Vivi Ann, be your mistress."

"I just hate this word. What's wrong with me?" Alan Wilson looked frustrated. "I just want to maintain a friendly relationship with beautiful women. Is this a mistake? Do you think you are not beautiful enough?"

Ingrid Bergman had a new understanding of men's shamelessness today, and said sarcastically, "Just say you love me, the cost of love is too low."

If it wasn't for Pamela Mountbatten being in the same city, and Alan Wilson himself had some scruples, he would definitely not end the topic so simply today, and went straight to the point, "How do you want me to prove it?"

"I haven't figured it out yet!" Ingrid Bergman saw the seriousness on the man's face, and felt guilty for no reason, pulling Heidi Rama and said, "I want to measure it with Heidi."

"Don't pull me, I don't even think about it." Heidi Lamarr broke free from Ingrid Bergman's request for help, and said angrily, "I have gone through a failed marriage, but I haven't thought about it yet." Be someone else's mistress."

"It's all about sooner or later, so don't be in such a hurry." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "You can think about it slowly, you know that I will not refuse any beautiful lady who needs help. You two read this script look."

The script about the beautiful legend of Sicily was directly stuffed into the hands of Heidi Rama.

"You still have the talent to be a screenwriter?" Heidi Lamarr looked suspicious and her tone was full of distrust.

"I usually write cabinet reports for the Prime Minister to read, and I don't write such things very much." Alan Wilson showed a modest expression, "Whether it works or not depends on how you judge."

In the Saint-Germain Castle, a grand reception is being held. Unlike the past, this time the host is an Englishman. Pamela Mountbatten attended the reception in full dress, shuttled through the reception, and talked about herself with the shareholders of the exploration company. When it comes to investment experience, it is old Versailles.

The aristocratic men and women attending the reception had only envy in their eyes. On the one hand, Pamela Mountbatten had discovered a huge iron ore deposit, which would surely be accompanied by a flood of wealth. On the other hand, they were envious of the British aristocratic status.

France is already a republic. Although the aristocratic status is recognized, it is already a boundless water, and its influence is not as good as before.Unlike the British aristocracy, the French aristocracy had been deprived of political power by the king early in the kingdom period.

With only economic tax-free privileges, the French aristocrats have long since had no army and territories. They can neither protect the king nor themselves. Rather than saying that they are medieval lords, it is better to say that they are more like modern public knowledge Molecules have only a clever mouth with a brilliant tongue, but no actual authority.

When facing a British aristocrat like Pamela Mountbatten, the French aristocratic men and women present all pretended to be envious on the surface, but they were really envious in their hearts.

Chapter 512 Agree in principle

Now in the eyes of the French nobles, Pamela Mountbatten is like the Supreme Treasure descending on colorful auspicious clouds.It's no exaggeration to say how popular it is, it's the truth, there's no exaggeration.

Although Pamela Mountbatten is not a stunning beauty in the world, she has just dug up the treasures of the Roman Empire in the past few days. She is in good spirits and radiant on happy occasions. In addition, she has been exposed to noble etiquette since she was a child, which makes everyone admire her very much.

In fact, these French aristocrats knew why it was necessary now. The Royalist Party of the Third Republic has an absolute advantage. From the parliament to the government, the Royalist Party occupies a large number of positions. Under normal circumstances, the Third Republic will not appear at all.

However, they quarreled over whether to support Napoleon or Bourbon, orthodoxy or collateral. They would rather let a minority of republicans establish a third republic than let the person supported by the other party be the king, so they fell into today's end.

As long as the national system changes, although the republican atmosphere is extremely fragile at the beginning, it will always be fed back to them after a long time.
